Pastor Frank Hampton Jr. Sermons

Nothing can substitute a definite encounter with God. There are things that simply will not change until you make contact with God Himself; and when you do make this contact, it is as undeniable as your very existence! When you have an encounter with God, you are forever a changed individual. Date: 8/21/1983

An example is the last thing God can show a person to try to persuade them. Both in scripture and in our own lives, we see example after example that ought to be clear warning signs. But still, with all of the examples that we have before us, the majority of people fall into the same condition because they do not sufficiently consider them. Let us not follow the present trend! Let us examine what...

The strategy if the enemy in these last days is to wear out the people of God. He just wants to keep the pressure on the saints until they break, and unfortunately the devil has had no little success with this strategy over the years. But thank God we do not have to cave under the pressure of the enemy! The way out is to cast every care upon God, one by one; don't let them pile up on you. The devi...

Often God does not move in a certain fashion, not because there is a lack of clarity with Him, but because we have allowed ourselves to be comforted with our conditions. If we are going to get God to move like we see in scripture, we must get to a place where we are so troubled about it that we will not be satisfied with anything less! Date: 10/4/1981

If you fully understood what it took God to deliver you from all the spirits that had you bound, you would praise God more than you do now. The devil does not play games; he does not loose a soul until he is absolutely forced. Now, since you have been freed from the bondage of Egypt, you ought to get as far away from it as you can: launch out into the deep in salvation!

We are now living in the dangerous times prophesied about by the apostle Paul. The church world is in as deplorable of a condition as it has ever been. It is no time to get careless or distracted now! The train to glory is picking up momentum; if you are going to get on and stay on, it is time for action, lest you be left behind. Date: 2/14/1982

Divine healing is an unconditional part of the gospel! The message of divine healing causes the people of God to live close and careful lives; this is why it is usually the first thing that the enemy removes when a person or group of people apostatize. But no matter who discards the message or practice of divine healing, it is still a promise in God's Word and available to every child of God!

"Too long people have presumed on the mercy of God". God is love, and His mercy is everlasting, nonetheless he is simultaneously the righteous judge and it is a fearful thing to fall into his hands. God in finality is currently calling all his precious human creation to salvation and greater light; will we be faithful to answer?

After a certain length of time being saved, we should get to the point where we are prepared for any assignment for which God needs us. Our lives should be such that anywhere and any time we can spring into action for God. This is the least we can do for God, and we owe it to the saints and to our own soul. Date: 10/18/1981

God works is seasons. If we do not move when God is prompting us to move, then we will just miss what He is doing. Trying to move when God is not moving is like planting seeds after the harvest is past. It is very important to move while the door of opportunity is open: if we wait too late, we are liable to fall into a state of despair, blackness, hopelessness. Date: 8/1/1990

God can tolerate anything but a lack of love. Refuse to fall victim to the cold, nonchalant, and apathetic Laodicean environment. Stay intimate with God, sensitive to His Spirit’s call, and obedient to His Word. Preached on February 17, 1982.

The question may be asked, "how far can the Satan go?" The answer: the devil can go as far as you let him. If you submit yourself to God and resist the devil, he will flee from you! But if you let the enemy continue to advance upon your mind or body, he will keep on going until he consumes you. The enemy will go as far as you let him, and he will work exploit to the fullest anything you give him....

"Every mans downfall started with a suggestion from the devil". Once Satan is our ear, it's no casual thing getting him out; so we'd be best off not letting him get started at all. Keep a ready violent rebuke, watch, and pray.  Date preached not found. 

In the year of 1982, Pastor Hampton and the congregation in Jackson were journeying in Bible study through the book of Acts. On this particular evening, Pastor Hampton was burdened. The saints in the book of Acts started off on fire, but so soon that level of glory began to wane. Many people have similar experiences in salvation: they get to a place in God where they have genuine glory and a conne...

Along this way of salvation, we could face anything. Therefore we must so settle it in our hearts, so count the cost that every adversity that stands in our path is viewed simply as part of the cost. We will not make it by our own strength; only the strength of God Himself will take us through. But it is up to us to eat everything God feeds us so we can be in position to receive that strength. Dat...

We make the decision, God determines the consequence. We make the choice, God enforces its' implications. Knowing that it is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God, let us walk worthy of the vocation wherewith we are called. Preached on October 15, 1981. 

Often the Spirit leads in paths that are contrary to the flesh, paths that are uncomfortable. God does this to prepare you for the task ahead. Many people are lost and confused today because they did not follow the Spirit's leading. Not only is it crucial to obey the Spirit when He speaks, but even before then you must get into a position where you can and are willing to obey no matter where He le...

Would Jesus feel welcome at your house? Would radical changes need to be made for Jesus to feel comfortable in your house? If He walked in, would you treat Him with greater honor than the influential people you look up to? Take careful retrospective inventory of your life as you experience this soul searching message.  Preached on October 28, 1981. 

Most times the enemy cannot take a saint out with one hard blow, so he does his best to first tire them out. If you allow the enemy to get you to become weary, you will cease to do what produces divine results. Apostasy comes in when you get weary of holding the truth. Eventually the virtue you have will become depleted, but don't get weary! Jesus left us an example to do in these times: get alone...

Pure gold is what filled the tabernacle, which is representative of God's church. Everything in the kingdom of God must be pure; anything that is impure is not a part of God's church and cannot enter heaven. Purity is characterized by a holy, consecrated, and blameless life that is utterly free from corruption of the spirit, soul, and body. We must be pure according to God's definition of purity....

Faith is the powerful means by which we are saved, but it is important to realize that it can be overthrown. There is a certain faith for which God is looking; this faith is God’s standard. In Luke 18:8 Jesus, foreseeing the time in which we now live, questioned whether He would find acceptable faith at all at His coming. We see then that in order to keep that faith for which Jesus is coming back,...

Faith is the engine of triumph in the Christian experience. God operates within a higher order, and faith is the channel to experience this higher order, enabling complete dominion over this natural order, life, and world. Preached on: September 12, 1982

If what you are claiming or holding is backed up by the Bible, then you can prove it to be true without fear of embarrassment. You do not prove it by talking, but by putting it into action and getting the results. This is not only our privilege, but also our responsibility. The question, then, is "are you my brother and sister proving the Bible is true?" Preached on 11/4/1981

Rebellion is the wind in which all sin committed. Rebellion, in any form or measure, towards God, His Word, conscience, or the still small voice is a fallen, suboptimal, and unacceptable spiritual state. May we all with mindful introspection do as our brother, Apostle Paul advocates “… let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall.” Preached on October 3, 1982.

This is a fact: your focus determines your destination. The only way to succeed spiritually is to keep our eyes focused on Jesus until the goal is obtained. It is the devil's objective to get your focus away from God and onto your circumstance because he knows that if you keep your focus right, your situation will eventually break and you will receive the prize! Seeing how vital your focus is, hon...
