"Behold Our Wonderful Jesus"
by Rev. Stanley Frodsham
(mp3 format)
About This Recording:
The recording begins with Stanley Frodsham praying.
We have forgotten how to pray like this.
The utter humility of it all reminds me of the times I heard Sister Goodwin pray. It is a kind of praying so selfless, so innocent, so centered in the awesomness of God and the utter inability of man, that you never forget it when you hear one of the Giants of Old pray like this. It makes you want to say, like the Apostles said to Christ, "Teach us to pray." We must learn again how to pray like this.
We have also forgotten how to preach like this.
Frodsham was 82 when he preached this. His high-pitched voice is that of an obviously elderly man, not far from going to be with his Lord. You hear pour forth from this man's lips a type of Pentecostal preaching that is unknown today: a continuous praise of Jesus Christ, a lifting up of adoration after adoration of the Son of God, a focus of the entire attention on the Cross of Christ, and an exhortation to brokenness and humility. We must learn again how to preach like this.
One of the reasons the Goodwins, Frodsham, Wigglesworth, and Carter saw a level of Glory manifest in their meetings that is mostly unknown today, is because they prayed and preached the way you hear Brother Frodsham do on this recording.
Stanley Frodsham preached the following sermon at Bill Britton's church in Springfield, MO on April 26, 1964, which was towards the end of his life. He makes a comment to William Branham who was present in the service also.
Acknowledgements No recordings were known to exist of Stanley Frodsham until Becky Britton-Volz sent us this recording entitled, "Behold Our Wonderful Jesus." It was recorded at The House of Prayer, pastored by Bill Britton originally on reel to reel, then given to us by Britton's daughter Becky Britton-Volz.
I did not know Pastor Bill Britton, and had not heard of him until Glen Gohr of the Flower Pentecostal Heritage Center put me in contact with Pastor Britton's daughter Becky. Stanley Frodsham and Howard Carter spent their final years attending Pastor Britton's church. For two giants like Frodsham and Carter to seek out and submit to the pastoral oversight of Britton is enough to convince me he must have been a substantial man of God. Some of Pastor Bill Britton's recordings and materials are still available. I wish to express my deep gratitude to Glen Gohr of the IFPHC for his assistance. Also to Sister Becky for donating to me these treasured recordings, and to my friend Kirk DuBois, instructor at Rhema, who along with the audio department at Rhema, helped to transfer this recording from reel to reel to a modern format.
