Top of Page THE DELIVERANCE MINISTRY DELIVERANCE FROM DISCOURAGEMENT Joshua 1:7 “Only be strong and very courageous, that you may observe to do according to all the law which Moses My servant commanded you; do not turn from it to the right hand or to the left, that you may prosper wherever you go.” Several times the Lord tells Joshua to be strong and very courageous, for this is a critical time in the life of Joshua, and the Lord is ministering to him personally, to keep him from getting discouraged by the circumstances that he is presently facing and those which he will be facing later. ​ We need to remember that discouragement is a spirit, and we do not fight spirits with physical weapons, for the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, we fight spirits with the Sword of the Spirit which is the Word of God, and that is how we overcome them. ​ Joshua 1:8 “This Book of the Law (the Word of God) shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success.” God tells Joshua that His Word, which He gave the Israelites through Moses, is an indispensable weapon that he needs to use and maintain continuously in order to overcome the spirit of discouragement. How do you fire this weapon? With your mouth! Watch what you say! We are to meditate in His Word day and night, that is how we keep our spiritual weapons clean and loaded, and we are to fire it every time that we come under attack from the enemy. If the spirit of discouragement has a favorite meal, the spirit of death would be it, for discouragement feeds on dead things like worms do. Joshua 1:2 “Moses My servant is dead. Now therefore, arise, go over this Jordan, you and all this people, to the land which I am giving to them—the children of Israel.” Death always brings change with it, and change is something that we naturally mistrust, for with change comes another opportunity for us to fail, and in our relationship with God, having a new opportunity to fail God again in a different way, is not something that we welcome. God simply tells Joshua with five little words that, Moses My servant is dead, and with that simple, yet very powerful statement, He tells Joshua that it is time to move one and to, Arise, go over this Jordan. God is basically telling Joshua not to be afraid to cross that river that stands between him and God’s promises, and to not let the spirit of discouragement keep him from fulfilling God’s destiny for his life. From Joshua’s experience we can learn that he had plenty of opportunities to be discourage, when God took Moses to the mountain top for forty days, Joshua was kept out in no man’s land, while the children of Israel that stayed back and fell into idol worship. It is very difficult for us humans to deal with the reality of not belonging, for what we are a part of, is what helps us to identify with who we are as a person. Joshua was in a transition period for many years, kept there by God until the day came when he was to step into the new order of things that God had prepared him to fulfill. Joshua 1:9 “Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.” Perhaps the most difficult part for us to understand when we are in the midst of no man’s land, spiritually speaking, is that we are still part of the purpose and will of God, not only for our lives, but even within the will and greater purpose that Jesus has for His church. There are so many things changing right now that it is impossible for me to enumerate them all, but it is this change that is taking place right now, that is discouraging so many Christians today. We are living witnesses of the demise of western civilization. We are witnessing the death of the institution of marriage, and we are witnessing the death of the godly principles that the martyr’s of the Gospel of Jesus Christ died to secure for us. Life has become a choice as well as gender. Many churches have fallen prey to the gospel of conformity, so that the spiritual life of many churches has been drained out, leaving many of the faithful within those churches to ask this question, where has the Spirit gone? Death and change seem to be the only certainty. In order for us not to get discourage we need to keep all that is going on right now within the context of the Word of God. Remember that God promised Abraham four hundred years earlier the land that they were about to enter, and God also told Abraham that the iniquity of the inhabitants of the land had not reached its peak at that time, so that his descendants would have to wait for their inheritance before they could enter and possess the land of promise. Genesis 15:13, 16 “...Know certainly that your descendants will be strangers in a land that is not theirs (Egypt), and will serve them, and they will afflict them four hundred years...But in the fourth generation they shall return here (the land promised to Abraham), for the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet complete.” So that God’s timing precedes everything, way before Moses was born, and before Joshua was born, and before whatever circumstance arose that Joshua was facing, God had already set up the time and date for their conquest to begin four hundred years earlier. Had Joshua concentrated on the facts that his circumstances presented him with, he would have had reasons to be discouraged. But God was there to remind him to keep his eyes on the Word of God, for therein lay the promises of a God who cannot lie. 2 Timothy 3:1-4 “ But know this, that in the last days perilous (times of stress) times will come: For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God.” But know this: Can you hear the certainty with which Paul makes this statement about our present day condition? It helps us to know that whatever it is that is going on right now, God knew what it would be like thousands of years before it came to pass. Let us ask ourselves a few questions in regards as to what is going on today, and let us see if we can answer them within the context of what God said would take place, and what took place during the days of Joshua. Is the world as a whole and society in particular going through a radical change right now for the worst? Yes it is. Did God say that it would happen like this at the end of time? Yes He did. Is there a reason why God is letting the moral fibers of society to become undone? Yes there is. Why is God letting those things that kept us together for centuries all of the sudden become undone? Have we reached the point of conclusion? Our prayer emphasis has been for the unity of the Spirit, the more united that we become in the Spirit in our prayers, the stronger that we are at restraining the power of lawlessness. It is my belief that true Christianity does not slack in prayer in the face of discouraging news, it is the opposite, the more bad news that we hear, the greater our prayer emphasis becomes, for we know that the more that sins abound, the more that the grace of God abounds as well, so that we do not give up in our praying no matter what. I’ve then reached the conclusion that the reason why the power of lawlessness seems to be increasing it is because we are within reach of the point of conclusion, the event horizon, the point of the end. If that is the case, the death of Moses before Joshua lead the children of Israel into the Promised Land, can be likened to the death of our Judeo-Christian values before our Joshua, Jesus, leads us into our Promised Land, the resurrection and rapture of the body of Christ. Isn’t it amazing that from Christianity’s point of view death does not lead into depression but into salvation? For us Christians, natural death is welcome for as stated within His promises, Absent from the body is to be present with the Lord, so that as we are witnessing the death of everything that is near and dear to us, be it civil or moral, religious or traditional, the things that are dying, be it good or bad, can only mean one thing for us Christians, our blessed hope is nearer than we think. Here is the last will and testament of Moses, the servant of God, before He died and blessed the children of Israel with these promises. Deuteronomy 33:26-29 “There in no one like the God of Jeshurun, who rides the heavens to help you, and in His excellency on the clouds. The eternal God is your refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms; He will thrust out the enemy from before you, and will say, ‘Destroy!’ Then Israel shall dwell in safety, the fountain of Jacob alone, in a land of grain and new wine; His heavens shall also drop dew. Happy are you, O Israel! Who is like you, a people saved by the Lord, the shield of your help and the sword of your majesty! Your enemies shall summit to you, and you shall tread down their high places.” Here are some promises that will keep us from getting discouraged no matter what changes we are going through right now. Who rides the heavens to help you. We can count on His spiritual help; just this week I saw on the news how Christians are being killed and persecuted in the Middle East, and how their places of worship and homes are being burned, I saw this Christian priest forced face down to the ground before he was beheaded, and I thought to myself, what a great honor this man was given, it humbled me to the core, how God allows some of His servants to die a martyr’s death, I could just hear the cheers from heaven as he was welcome into the joy of our Lord and given a place of honor among those who have died for the faith, like apostles and prophets of old. It touched me because every night my wife and I pray for those who are being persecuted for the sake of the Gospel, and in my prayer I always pray that God would give His strength to those whom He has called to give their life as an offering to God, seeing this man, not resisting but peaceful, encouraged me to know that God always answers our prayers. The eternal God is your refuge. In the natural, those killed and those persecuted and tortured for the sake of the Gospel, might be viewed by unspiritual people as unfortunate or disadvantaged, but what does the Word of God say? Hebrews 13:6 “So we may boldly say: ‘The Lord is my helper; I will not fear. What can man do to me?’” Our time here on this earth is temporary, our refuge in God is eternal! Happy are you, O Israel. Happy people are people who are not discouraged. For their happiness is based on the eternal promises of God that do not change with the circumstances. The shield of your help and the sword of your majesty! Remember how God told Joshua that, This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, well, the shield of our help is the shield of faith, the helmet of salvation and the breastplate of righteousness which cover and protect our vital parts, but we have also been given a majestic sword, and this is an offensive weapon, which we can use to execute against our spiritual enemies the will of God, to tread down and subdue the strongholds of the enemy, with the words that proceed out of our mouths, as we enforce the Word of God over our enemies. Psalm 149:6-9 “Let the high praises of God be in their mouth, and a two-edged sword in their hand, to execute vengeance on the nations, and punishments on the peoples; to bind their kings with chains, and their nobles with fetters of iron; to execute on them the written judgment—this honor have all His saints. Praise the Lord!” Once we understand that if we are in the will of God, whether we are called to martyrdom, suffering, or to triumph over our enemies, it does not matter what the circumstances are, as long as we believe that we are within the will of God for our lives, no discouragement can afflict us. Nations may fall, they may rise, or nothing may end up taking place after all, it does not really matter, as long as we know that our God is in total and complete control of whatever situation we might be facing, we have peace and the assurance of His promises for us who believe. Joshua 1:5 “No man shall be able to stand before you all the days of your life; as I was with Moses, so I will be with you. I will not leave you nor forsake you.” Go into God’s spiritual bank today, and in the name of Jesus deposit some of these promises, for they will suffice to cover for whatever debt or lack you may have that is causing you to be discouraged. Just remember that whatever situation you are facing today will pass, but the promises of God, they endure forever. Back to Deliverance Ministry

Top of Page The Deliverance Ministry IN WHOM IS NO DECEIT John 1:47 “Jesus saw Nathanael coming toward Him, and said of him, ‘Behold, an (a real) Israelite indeed, in whom is no deceit!’” Imagine having Jesus say that about us today, it would go something like this: Look everybody, here is a real Christian who has no deceit in him. The setting has Jesus calling on men that He met, and saying to them, Follow Me, Phillip is one of those men whom Jesus called, evidently Jesus was telling those He called, that He is the One of whom Moses prophesied, and that’s the reason why they should be following Him. ​ John 1:45 “Phillip found Nathanael and said to him, ‘We have found Him of whom Moses in the law, and also the prophets, wrote—Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.’” Even though Nathanael was skeptical, he followed Phillip to meet this Jesus that Phillip was so excited about, and as he was approaching Jesus, our Lord made that amazing statement about him, to which he responded with the following answer. John 1:48 “Nathanael said to Him, ‘How do You know me?’ Jesus answered and said to him, ‘Before Phillip called you, when you were under the fig tree, I saw you.’” What is even more amazing to me is Nathanael’s response, how do You know me? I mean, if Jesus said that about any of us today, here is a real Christian in whom there is no deceit, we would probably turn around and look behind us, I know I would; Hey, it wouldn't be the first time I said to the Lord, are You sure You have the right man Lord? Let us see if we can sort this out, for there are a lot of symbolisms in this story; first we have Nathanael, an Israelite that was under a fig tree doing something, a fig tree is symbolic of the nation of Israel. This man had obviously been delivered from contaminated doctrines and falsehoods while under the fig tree, since Jesus said that he had no deceit in him. And perhaps our greatest clue is in the new name by which John identifies him, Nathanael; for this same man is called Bartholomew in the other gospels. John who probably wrote his gospel after he was taken up to heaven while on the island of Patmos, writes with the emphasis on spiritual truths that are revealed through natural events. Bart in front of Bartholomew, his original name, means the son of in his case the son of Holomew, or Bart-holomew; However the new name by which John calls him, Nathanael, means: The Gift of God. Remember that in biblical reasoning your name reveals your nature, a new name means that a new nature has been given to that person. John 1:49-51 “Nathanael answered and said to Him, ‘Rabbi, You are the Son of God! You are the King of Israel!’ Jesus answered and said to him, ‘Because I said to you, “I saw you under the fig tree,” do you believe? You will see greater things than this.’ And He said to Him, ‘Most assuredly, I say to you, hereafter you shall see heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of Man.’” The gift of God to Bartholomew was the new nature that was imparted to him while he was under the fig tree. Something spiritual, radical, and personal, must have happened to him while under the fig tree, for when Jesus mentioned it to him, it left no doubt in his mind that Jesus was, for He had to be the Son of God, in order for Him to know about this very personal experience that he, Nathanael, obviously had with God. Can we know what happened to Nathanael while under the fig tree? Let us start with what Nathanael did not have inside of him when Jesus met him, it is clear from Jesus’ statement that Nathanael did not have any deceit in him; let us ask then, what is deceit? And how did he get rid of it? The word Deceit, or Guile as it appears in the King James version, in the original Greek means Decoy or Trick, which implies that a person can be tricked into believing in their hearts that they are a person who differs greatly, a decoy, from the real person that they are. So that their personality becomes a forgery, a copy of the original person’s soul that was originally created in the image of God. James 1:7-8 “For let not that man suppose that he will receive ( a gift, Nathanael means the gift of God) anything from the Lord; he is a double-minded man (two spirited man, a copy, or a forgery of an original), unstable in all his ways.” What made Nathanael special, was that he was delivered from the deviations that had caused him to believe a lie, something about himself that he was not, and as he came into the reality of who he really was in the Lord, he was now able to accept the role for which God had created him, to be an apostle of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. The gift that Nathanael was given, not only allowed him to realize who he really was, but also, to recognize who Jesus really was, for he said to our Lord, Rabbi, You are the Son of God! You are the King of Israel! The implications here are tremendous, for it tells me that I can never fully know who Jesus is, until I know who I really am in the Lord. For a double-minded, two spirited counterfeit person, can never comprehend or understand who the real Creator is. How did Nathanael get rid of deceit? James 4:7-10 “Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you. Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded. Lament and mourn and weep! Let your laughter be turned to mourning and your joy to gloom. Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He will lift you up.” When Nathanael was under the fig tree that represented Israel, he as an Israelite, probably realized how many generational curses had been handed down to him that were caused by the disobedience and idolatry of his ancestors. Right there he had to make a decision, was he going to be an idolater like them, or renounce their evil practices and align himself with the God that created him to be a servant of the high calling of God? Once he submitted himself to the high calling of God, a spiritual resistance to the lies of the devil arose from within him that allowed him to forsake the forgery of himself that the devil had fashioned after his idolatrous ancestry. By refusing to accept the devil’s plan for his life, he drew near to God and God’s plan for his life. What followed had to be a cleansing prayer of true repentance, like in: 1 John 1:9 “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” Then he had to do something to purify his heart, that is to rid it of the perverted sprit that was a forgery of who he really was and was pretending to be the real him. How did he do that? James 1:6 “But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind (spiritual fake).” He believed! The human soul was created in the image of God, it cannot be made to conform to the animalistic instincts of the flesh, for our souls were not created out of dirt, but came directly out of the Spirit of God, after God breezed into Adam’s nostrils, Adam became a living soul. If we believe the lies of evolution and other demonic doctrines, whose aim is nothing more than to devalued the integrity of our souls and profane it as worthless, then a lie about who we really are is accepted, and that two spirited nature will hinder us from fulfilling the purpose for which God created us, which is to be spiritually minded creatures that exercise God’s dominion over this earthly plane. It takes a humbled heart to recognize our true condition, if we are willing to admit it, all of us fail God somehow, somewhere, sometime. Let me ask you this very personal question: Do you identify with the sin that you fall into after you fail God by sinning? When you lie do you believe that you are a liar? Your answer here is very important, for it will reveal to you which personality you are operation under, since you are a Christian and know that it is wrong to lie. Romans 7:20 “Now if I do what I will not to do, it is no longer I who do it, but sin that dwells in me.” Listen to the words of Paul, and how he separates the sin from the sinner when he says that, it is no longer I who do it, but sin that dwells in me. If you are a Christian and believe that your sins make you a sinner, let’s say that you’ve lied so therefore you see yourself as a liar, then you are identifying with the duplicate you, and not the real you. For the believer should identify with the real self that says, it is not I that lied but the sin that dwells in me, which by the way, in this case would be a lying spirit. You may say, what’s the difference? If you believe that you are a Christian and that your are also a liar, then you condemn yourself, and in the same act, you accept a perverted version of yourself that God did not create, for your soul was created by the Spirit of Truth to abide in the Truth. If you as a Christian recognize that you’ve lie, but do not see yourself as a liar, but rather as a person that needs to be delivered from a lying spirit, then you are identifying with your real self, and in the same act, you are asking for deliverance from an act that you do not want to do anymore. In the New Testament, the definition for sin is to miss the mark, which clearly implies the absence of an action, rather that the commission of a lawless act. If we are Christians, all of our sins, past, present, and future, were paid for in full by the work that Jesus wrought for us on the cross, that makes us a new creation in Christ Jesus, we have no grounds to identify ourselves with the old nature anymore. So that when we sin in accordance with our old nature, is because we are failing to take advantage of the deliverance that is already ours through the atoning power of the blood of Jesus, that is how we sin, we simply miss the mark. And it usually has to do with us identifying ourselves with the phony duplicate that the devil has been fashioning for us all our lives. Truth originates with God, lies originate with the devil, we ought not to identify ourselves with any of the devil’s lies, but with every Word of Truth that proceeds out of the mouth of God. 2 Corinthians 5:21, 6:1 “For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him. 6:1 We then, as workers together with Him also plead with you not to receive (miss the mark) the grace of God in vain.” Identify the strongholds in your life that cause you to sin, and target them for extinction. Do not see yourself as the person that the devil accuses you of being, but become the righteousness of God in Jesus through faith, that is who the real you is, and is already within you, do not miss the mark by accepting failure in your life. Do not give up! Remember that some of your victories are future victories, for the Lord will always allow you to stay sharp by the battles that you are presently fighting. And in some instances you will be left to trust the fact that His grace is sufficient for you, for His strength is made perfect in your weaknesses. Follow the prayer model that James chapter four showed us for the purification of our souls, evict that counterfeit failure that the devil has made of you, and totally put your trust in God’s great and precious promises that are Yes and Amen. Here is a prayer that will help you get started: PRAYER (pray this out loud) Our Father who are in heaven, creator of heaven and earth, God the judge of all; in the name of Jesus your only Son I enter into Your heavenly court and publicly repent of all of my sins, and I ask for Your forgiveness in the Name of Jesus. Apply dear Lord I pray, the atoning blood of Jesus over all the sins in my life and the sins in my ancestor’s life that resulted in a curse. I repent of all of our disobediences and rebellions committed against Your Word. I now repent from and I renounce all the sins in my life and my ancestor’s life such as the sins of perversion, lust, cheating, lying, adultery, fornication, mistreatment of others, uncleanness, filthiness, wantonness, lewdness, and every perverted thing that was connected to our fallen nature. I now repent from and I renounce all the sins in my life and my ancestor’s life such as the sins of false religion, cults, reading of horoscopes, idolatry, witchcraft, divination, all occult involvements, seditions, heresies, sorcery, dissentions, and every demonic thing that was connected to our fallen nature. I now repent from and I renounce all the sins in my life and my ancestor’s life such as the sins of indecision, compromise, hatred, contentions, envy, gossip, murder, hostility towards others, hostilities towards my self, ill will towards others, ill will towards my self, and every divisive thing that was connected to our fallen nature. I now repent from and I renounce all the sins in my life and my ancestor’s life such as the sins of malfunction, failures, laziness, lack of responsibility, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, drunkenness, intoxication, addictions, dependencies, and every compromising thing that was connected to our fallen nature. According to 1 John 1:9 “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” Now that I’ve confessed all my sins, I ask for Your forgiveness and cleansing from all my unrighteousness and the unrighteousness passed to me through the iniquity of all my ancestor’s. Deliver me Lord and cleanse me by the power of the blood of my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. I now take authority over the devil’s accusations against me. In accordance with the Word of God, I break and condemn any and every curse upon my life in the name of Jesus. I break all curses of poverty, lack, debt, destruction, sickness, death and vagabond. I break all curses on my marriage, family, children, and relationships. I break curses of rejection, pride, rebellion, lust, hurt, incest, rape, Ahab, Jezebel, fear, insanity, madness, and confusion. In the Name that is above every name, the Name of Jesus, I now break all curses affecting my finances, my mind, my sexual character, my emotions, my will, my intellect, and all my relationships. In the Name of Jesus I now break every hex, jinx, spell, and spoken curse over my life and my family’s life. I break every fetter, shackle, chain, cord, habit, and cycle that is the result of a curse. According to Galatians 3:13 I have been redeemed from the curse of the law by the sacrifice that Jesus offered on my behalf. Father in heaven I now exercise my faith in the blood that Jesus offered for my redemption, and I loose myself and my descendants from any and every curse. I claim forgiveness through the blood that Jesus offered for my sins and the sins of my fathers. All of my sins have been forgiven, so I now renounce all the works of Satan and their effect over my life, and my family’s lives, and I loose myself from every curse that came as a result of our disobedience and rebellion to the Word of God. I exercise my faith now in the Word of God: Romans 10:9-10, and I make confession with my mouth of the salvation, deliverance, healing and restoration that I believe in my heart is now mine, because of the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead. Therefore I confess that Abraham’s blessings are mine. I confess that I am blessed and not curse. I confess that I am the head and not the tail. I confess that I am above and not beneath. I confess that I am blessed coming in and going out. I confess that I am blessed by God, and what God has blessed cannot be curse. In the Name of Jesus and by the power of His shed blood, I now command spirits of Rejection, Hurt, Bitterness, Unforgiveness, Bondage, Torment, Death, Destruction, Suicide, Fear, Lust, Perversion, Mind Control, Witchcraft, Poverty, Lack, Debt, Confusion, Double-mindedness, Sickness, Infirmity, Pain, Divorce, Separation, Strife, Contention, Depression, Sadness, Loneliness, Self-Pity, Self-Destruction, Self-Rejection, Anger, Rage, Wrath, Anguish, Vagabond, Abuse, Addiction, Insanity and the rest to COME OUT NOW in the Name of Jesus my Deliverer, and be forever gone, because all of your rights to torment me and my family have now been removed. Dear Father in Heaven, in the Name of Jesus Your only begotten Son, I now thank you for setting me and making me free from every curse and from every unclean spirit that had operated in my life as a result of curses. Thank You Jesus! Amen. Back to Deliverance Ministry

Top of Page Top of Page THE POWER OF THE BENEDICTION Written by Pastor Marcos Marrero Published on 5/27/2014 This is a sampling of the free book called The Power of the Benediction. You can read the book for free here. THE POWER OF THE BENEDICTION Leviticus 9:23 "And Moses and Aaron went into the tabernacle of meeting, and came out and blessed the people. Then the glory of the Lord appeared to all the people." We are living in the age of power, since the industrial revolution took place it seems that machines just keep getting bigger and more powerful. It is amazing to see the great wonders that human engineering has accomplished, not only in size and power, but also in scope and complexity. We have machines that can strip and remove entire mountains, we have machines that can tunnel under the mountains and even under the sea to connect land masses, we even have machines so delicate that they can do surgery on a human body. They are even coming out with machines that can read our thought patterns. But the most powerful force in the entire universe is not generated by steam, electricity, or even man's ability to harness nature's wonders, the most powerful force in the universe resides in the words that come out of the human mouth. How can that be possible you may ask? Let me ask you this, what was the power source that created the entire universe? It was Words! Hebrews 11:3 "By faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that the things which are seen were not made of things which are visible." According to science everything that exists in the universe came into being as the result of a tremendous release of energy that came out of nothing that was visible, but they do not know what was the cause that released all that energy, but the Bible emphatically tells us that it was the spoken Word of God. Genesis 1:3 "Then God said, 'Let there be light (energy)'; and there was light." The earth, or that which is tangible, was without form and void, that is it could not be ascertained, measured, or comprehended, for it was darkness from the face of the deep, and it took the spoken Word of God to give it form and to bring it into our physical reality.

Top of Page Top of Page OTHER TEACHINGS SIN AND REDEMPTION Written by Lisa Kane 11/17/2020 There are several types of sin: lying, murder, witchcraft, homosexuality and many more. Sin is disobeying God and there are many actions God says not to do that we do every day. ​ People lie, cheat, steal, kill, among other things like witchcraft and homosexuality. ​ Let us take a look at homosexuality. How do I know this is a sin? Because the action of this sin goes against what God decrees in His Word to all humankind: ​ Genesis 9:1 & 17 NKJV Vs. 1 So God blessed Noah and his sons, and said to them: “Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth. ​ Vs. 17 And God said to Noah, “This is the sign of the covenant which I have established between Me and all flesh that is on the earth.” ​ Homosexuality is unfruitful. Two males or two females are not able to produce biological offspring and therefore is not fruitful. Homosexuality disobeys God’s word for all flesh. ​ Does this mean that God doesn’t love you? Absolutely not. Remember, homosexuality is a verb, not a noun. Verbs are actions. The act of lying, the act of murdering, the act of homosexuality etc. are sins that God hates. Not the person, the noun. ​ Does that mean there is something wrong with you? Absolutely not. In fact, quite the opposite. You were made in God’s image and He called us good. ​ Genesis 1:26 NKJV Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness;...” ​ Genesis 1:31 NKJV Then God saw everything that He had made, and indeed it was very good. So the evening and the morning were the sixth day. ​ In fact, what is love? The biggest promotion from the LGBTQ community is that love is love. ​ Here’s a friendly reminder, love is action and the only human to ever prove and show true love is Jesus, and yes, He did this for everyone, and we’ve all sinned. ​ Joel 2:32 NKJV And it shall come to pass that whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be [a]saved. ​ Romans 10:13 NKJV For “whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.” ​ Notice how important this statement is? God said it twice: once in the Old Testament and once in the New Testament. ​ Jesus died for ‘whoever’ – no exclusions. That means you’re not excluded either, whether you claim to be homosexual or not. In reality, you’re just another sinner in the world…just like everyone else. ​ Romans 3:23 NKJV for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, ​ Here’s love from God: ​ John 3:16 NKJV For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. ​ None of us can come close to that action of love Jesus took on the cross. ​ When the LGBTQ community states love is love, do you love your child so much that you would let him or her burn their hand in the fire on the stove? Of course not. In fact, you love them so much that you smack their hands hoping the sting would let them know not to touch the fire. ​ That’s what believers are doing with those wanting approval of their sin – any sin for that matter. In this particular message, it’s homosexuality. That’s what the LGBTQ community or the spirit behind them is saying…they want to sin and they want us to say it’s ok when God’s word clearly says it’s not. ​ So every time something says the opposite of what they want, it stings, just like getting your hand smacked from your parents when reaching toward a fire; because you know deep down what God is telling you. ​ And if you really want a more direct point blank statement in the bible of homosexuality as a sin, here it is: ​ Leviticus 20:13 NKJV If a man lies with a male as he lies with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination. They shall surely be put to death. Their blood shall be upon them. ​ Let’s talk about death here and understand the ramifications of sin in general, and not just the sin of homosexuality. ​ Romans 6:23 NKJV For the wages of sin is death, but the [a]gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. ​ The moment that Eve and Adam sinned by pulling the fruit off the tree disobeying God, they started to age. (See, sin is disobeying God.) They didn’t die right away. In fact, it took several hundred years before they finally died. ​ Today’s life expectancy is much shorter but the point is that if you sin, you die. ​ Sin from lying, murder, adultery, homosexuality, witchcraft, etc. leads to death. ​ But God. The gift of God, His Son is eternal life. ​ God is awesome. He dealt with sin by sending His son Jesus to die on the cross so that you could be saved if you want to, and this is from all sin. ​ So you need to ask yourself, do you want to stay in sin or do you want to follow God? I know this stings but it’s your choice. I’d rather you don’t burn in the lake of fire from any sin you commit but see you saved! ​ Romans 10:9-10 NKJV that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. ​ To choose God, say this out loud: ​ Dear Jesus, I’m sorry. I’ve sinned and I ask You to forgive me of my sin and come into my heart and be my Lord and Savior. Thank You for Your forgiveness and mercy. In Jesus’ name Amen! Now it’s up to you whether you want to continue sinning when it’s so obvious God doesn’t want you to. ​ The first thing you need is self-control. This will overcome temptation with sin. How do you obtain self-control? Ask God. ​ Galatians 5:22-23 NKJV But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 [a]gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law. ​ Say this prayer out loud: ​ Dear Jesus, Thank You for being my Lord and Savior. Help me overcome sin by placing self-control within me. Deliver me and help me stay focused on You. In Jesus name Amen! ​ And just like sin in general, humanity continues to lie, cheat, etc…and when we do, go back to God. Ask Him again to change you and persevere in asking. Continue to ask Him to help you be in His image. He already sees you as that perfect jewel He made in you and He will get you on the right path if you want to. ​ He will keep you from the temptation of whatever sin is your poison if you want to. You just need to talk to God. He’s waiting…start talking. Back to Other Teachings

Señor, no dios a tomado nunca una de las naciones y los ha hecho un pueblo raro como Tu lo has hecho. Los llevaste con señales de fuego, prodigios, y diversos milagros, y por los dones de tu Espíritu Santo según Tu voluntad. Por Tus brazos que estrechaste en la cruz, y por el gran poder que exhibiste cuando levantaste a Tu unigénito Hijo de la muerte atraves de la resurrección. Nos diste cena del Pan celestial, El Cordero inmolado, Tu palabra viva. Nos diste de su preciosa sangre para tomar en un Nuevo Testamento. De los cielos nos hiciste oír Tu voz redentora para la disciplina y el poder. En la tierra enseñaste las lenguas de fuego que llenaron a tus siervos con Tu gran poder que les prometiste. Señor te pido ahora que me llenes con tu Espíritu Santo, completa Tu promesa en mi ahora mismo. Reparte en mi Tu gracia y Tu poder Señor para que Tu autoridad en mi sea demostrada como que yo soy Tu siervo verdadero. Rescátame Señor de todas las cosas malas, protégeme de los hombres violentes quienes planean la maldad en sus corazones todos los días contra mí. Sus lenguas tienen el veneno de la víbora y son como cuchillos afilados. Protégeme Señor de todas las palabras malas con que el diablo me insulta. Guárdame Señor y a toda mi familia, porque yo soy Tu siervo, cúbreme con tu amor maravilloso. Bendito sea el Señor, mi Roca de Salvación. Tu adiestras a mis manos para la batalla, y mis dedos para la guerra. Mas si por el dedo de Dios hecho yo fuera los demonios, ciertamente el reino de Dios me ha llegado con dominio y poder, y yo ocupo hasta que tu regreses Señor. Aleluya! Salvación y honra y gloria y poder son del Señor Dios nuestro; porque sus juicios son verdaderos y justos; pues ha juzgado a la gran ramera que ha corrompido a la tierra con su fornicación, y ha vengado la sangre de sus siervos de la mano de ella. Jesús nos ha dado poder y nos ha cubierto con la protección de su propia sangre. Aleluya! Nuestro Señor Todopoderoso reina! Nos regocijamos y estamos contentos en su gloria. Él me miró y vio que mala era mi situación, y con su brazo derecho Él me ha salvado. Su rectitud me sostiene y Él me ha empoderado para hacer su voluntad. Amén. Volver a Oraciones empoderadoras

Top of Page Top of Page OTHER TEACHINGS Intuitive Knowledge in the Age of Reason Written by Pastor Marcos Marrero Published on 3/6/22 Ecclesiastes 12:11 “The words of the wise are like goads, and the words of scholars are like well-driven nails, given by one Shepherd.” The wisdom of Learned Knowledge which is what our present day understanding of the universe is based on, has been declared foolishness by God Himself. ​ 1 Corinthians 1:20 “Where is the wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the disputer of this age? Has not God MADE FOOLISH the wisdom of this world?” The fundamental flaw of Learned Knowledge is that it is based on the things that are visible, which always leads to a scientific dead end when trying to piece together the origin and purpose for the creation of our universe, by basing it on the things which are seen. ​ Proverbs 16:25 “There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way of death.” Now the Word of God teaches us the proper way of how to understand the why and when of the creation itself, if we just follow the basic foundational principles upon which God created everything that He made; and for that we need to look in the right place: the Word of God. ​ 2 Corinthians 4:18 “While we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are TEMPORARY (changing, passing away), but the things which are not seen are ETERNAL (complete).” ​ The creation itself reflects the nature of the Creator, in order to understand the unseen parts of the creation we need to obtain the ability to decipher the spiritual language of the Creator. ​ Psalm 19:1-3 “The heavens DECLARE the glory of God; and the firmament SHOWS His handiwork. Day unto day UTTERS speech, and night unto night REVEALS knowledge. THERE IS NO SPEECH NOR LANGUAGE WHERE THEIR VOICE IS NOT HEARD.” The capitals in all the verses quoted added by me for emphasis. ​ Day and night God continuously declares and shows us His glory as He utters and reveals knowledge through the creation itself. And all this vital information is made available to all who seek it, and it does not matter what our learned language is. So, what is this mysterious language that God speaks and that we can all learn from? I call it Intuitive Knowledge! ​ 1 Thessalonians 5:23 “Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you COMPLETELY; and may your whole SPIRIT, SOUL, and BODY be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.” ​ Not everyone may know this, but we all speak three different languages. Our bodies speak the language of signs, mannerisms and gestures: known as Body Language. Today we have Body Language in which experts appear on TV shows tell us what others are saying by their expressions. ​ Our soul is the seat of our mind and understanding, and expresses itself through what I refer to earlier as Learned Knowledge, which is the language or languages that we learned to speak as we were growing up during our lifetime . ​ I believe that the language that our spirits speak is what I call Intuitive Knowledge. Intuition is very hard to comprehend with our natural or soul way of thinking. I used to think of it as hints or hunches that came to us by way of chance. But now I am totally convinced that Intuitive Knowledge is the language that the spirit-man was created to speak and understand. It is a language that has an alphabet and the means to conjugate and express—that is to Declare, Show, Utter and Reveal knowledge and understanding at a level we could never dream of. This is what I am going to try and teach in the next few pages, the language that our spirit-man craves for. ​ Why should a Christian endeavor to learn the spiritual language of Intuitive Knowledge? ​ James 1:5-8 “If any of you lacks WISDOM, let him ask of God, who GIVES TO ALL liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him. But let him ask in FAITH, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind. For let not that man suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord; he is a DOUBLE-MINDED MAN, unstable in all his ways.” ​ Wisdom and faith are both spiritual and we have to be single minded in order to get them. To be double-minded (two souls) means that the spirit and the soul are not on the same page. So faith comes by hearing the Word of God that comes through the spirit-man and convinces the soul. ​ Psalm 19:7 “The law of the Lord is perfect, CONVERTING the soul; the testimony of the Lord is SURE (trustworthy), making wise the SIMPLE (humble).” ​ The soul-man looks at the structure—the creation—from the outside, while the spirit-man looks at the infrastructure—or the inner workings of the creation—from the inside. The soul-man learns through words and the spirit-man understands through numbers. And when they come together as one, we receive revelation directly from our Redeemer, as given by One Shepherd. ​ Psalm 19:14 “Let the WORDS (Learned Knowledge) of my mouth and MEDITATION (Intuition) of my heart be acceptable in Your sight, O Lord, my strength and my Redeemer.” ​ I believe that the Intuitive Knowledge language of the spirit-man is a mathematical language and that it has a numerical alphabet if you will. What makes this mathematical language superior to the Learned Knowledge language of the soul-man is that numbers never lose anything in the translation. It does not matter our language or traditions or customs, mathematical principles never change. God created us to communicate with Him in all three levels: spirit, soul and body. ​ Because of the rebellion at the tower of Babel, God confused the one language that they all spoke and therefore they were divided and scattered around the post diluvium world. However, on the Day of Pentecost the Holy Spirit fell on one hundred and twenty souls and their spiritual language was restored, but their ability to understand it naturally was restricted. ​ 1 Corinthians 2:14 “But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are SPIRITUALLY discerned.” Without the Spirit of God we cannot be partakers of the gift of Intuitive Knowledge, but for those of us who have been born of the Spirit of God, we have received and are qualified to learn from this great blessing of having the spiritual discernment provided by Intuitive Knowledge. ​ 1 Corinthians 2:6-7 “However, we speak WISDOM among those who are MATURE, yet not the wisdom of this age, nor of the rulers of this age, who are coming to NOTHING (temporary and are passing). But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, the HIDDEN (intuitive) WISDOM WHICH GOD ORDAINED before the ages for our GLORY (understanding).” ​ With all these Scriptures in mind and with the Holy Spirit’s help let us see if we can find some of the hidden wisdom which God ordained for our times. If numbers are a language—a means of communication—then they have to have a structure or a numerical alphabet of some sort. I propose that the ten digits in our hands comprise the entirety of this numerical alphabet. Written in our bodies so that we never forget them, for we have been created with ten fingers. The numbers one through nine all represent the revelation of God’s creation; for they all have value within themselves. Therefore, God uses Psalm 19 or one through nine as the place for this revelation; also, in Psalm 119 He shows us the perfection of the Hebrew alphabet, and in Psalm 139 about His perfect foreknowledge of everything that He created through the numbers 1-9. ​ A Zero has no value by itself, so it represents everything that God created including man. If you place a Zero on the right side of any of the digits that have value, that number is magnified. If you take the number One and add a Zero to its right side it combines to make the number Ten. ​ There are four perfect numbers that theologians have found: The number Three is defined as Divine Perfection, the number Seven as Spiritual Perfection, the number Ten as Ordinal Perfection and the number Twelve is assigned the title of Governmental Perfection. ​ In the number Ten, the One and the Zero, we learn the law of divine order. Following mathematical principles if you put the Zero after the One you have the number Ten, which indicates increase in value. If you put the Zero in front of the One indicates a decrease in value. The first of the Ten Commandments teaches us not to put anything before the One God. As the Creator God must always be first, in order for the creatures that He created to increase. When Lucifer said that he would be like God, as in no need of God; instantly he was demoted and became the devil, which means supreme spirit of evil, and Satan, which means adversary; he became the embodiment of everything that God is not. We were created by God and for God, but we have a choice, not choosing to put God first ROBS us of our potential for His divine favor. ​ John 10:10 “The thief does not come except to STEAL (robs us), and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may HAVE (God adds) life, and that they may have it more ABUNDANTLY (He not only adds life but He also multiplies it as well).” ​ The Lord puts this verse and chapter in the number Ten for a double emphasis. Satan is a predator; the law of predatory behavior Divides and Takes away. God on the other hand, as Creator has the power to Add and to Multiply. To those who put God first in their lives God adds and multiplies life and life in abundance. The devil comes as a thief; he divides and takes way. So Ordinal Perfection teaches that to be blessed we have to put God first in all areas of our lives. ​ Romans 10:9-10 “9) That if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. 10) For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.” ​ The number Nine (verse nine) represents God’s completed work of redemption; that of Jesus dying on the cross and Him rising from the dead, the number Ten (verse ten) represents those who by confession of faith place themselves in the proper Ordinal Perfection that God created. ​ So that to divide and to take away and addition and multiplication are a form of a numerical conjugation system that denotes the separation between one and the other. In some cases between good and evil, right and wrong, love and hate, blessings and curses. In other cases adding and or multiplying to express the hidden or spiritual meaning of the verses confirmed by the numerical values assigned to them as we have seen in some of the verses already. ​ Now let us look at the numbers One through Nine. ​ Deuteronomy 6:4-5 “4) Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is ONE! 5) You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength.” ​ In verse five we are commanded to love God—that is, put the number One first—spirit, soul and body. All of us humans were created in God’s image. In verse four our God is One God and three persons marking the meaning of the number Three as Divine Perfection. The Four and the Five add to Nine which speaks of God’s completeness and fullness which are represented by the value in the numbers in this numerical alphabet of One through Nine. Six is the number for man. ​ 1 John 5:7 “For there are three that bear witness in heaven: the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit; and THESE THREE ARE ONE.” NKJV ​ Let us deal with the number One first: If God was one God and one person only there would be no creation, there would not even be the necessity for a language, for there would be no one else for God to speak with. If God was one God and two persons, He would be able to talk to Himself for the second person would be the Word, but there would still be no creation. It is only when we count the Third Person of the trinity, the Holy Spirit—that we see the Divine Perfection at work with their ability to have a relationship within themselves and with their own created creatures. ​ We see in the creation narrative that God spoke and energy—the Word of God is energy—came out of His mouth and the Holy Spirit gave shape to that which God spoke into existence. In the numeric’s of Psalm 19 verses 1, 2 and 3, where God reveals the hidden and visible things of the creation, we see that the number One plus Two more verses = Three verses in total: to signal that, Divine Perfection is behind the Ones who created our universe and are revealing all the LAWS THAT GOVERN it, therefore the number Twelve—one and two in that order—which is the number of Governmental Perfection is putting its stamp on it as well. ​ Psalm 19:1, 4 “1) The HEAVENS declare the glory of God; and the firmament shows His handiwork. 4) Their LINE (sound) has gone out through all the EARTH, and their words to the end of the WORLD...” ​ Now, the number Four represents the physical creation and intertwines with the first perfect number, the number Three—Divine Perfection—and together Three and Four they form the metaphysical in the number Seven—Spiritual Perfection: Heaven and earth together. As God’s judgment upon the earth begins in the final days, we see this interaction between the numbers Three and the number Four. ​ Revelation 7:1 “After these things I saw FOUR angels standing at the FOUR corners of the earth, holding the FOUR winds of the earth, that the wind should not blow on the earth, on the sea, or on any tree.” ​ The number Four appearing Three times in the first verse of chapter Seven: Four plus Three = Seven—Spiritual Perfection ready to be poured out upon a rebellious physical world. ​ Psalm 19:7 “The law of the Lord is (physically and spiritually) PERFECT…” ​ Open your hand without the thumb and hold your four fingers up and you will see three empty spaces between them. The human soul sees the four fingers for they are physically visible. But our spirit-man sees perfection in the Three spaces between them, for there are Three that testify in heaven—the spiritual realm—and they are the Father, the Word and the Holy Spirit. ​ So that if we follow the instructions of Ordinal Perfection properly we see that everything is interconnected to the Word of God and to the inner workings of the creation itself. ​ In the Hebrew alphabet the tenth Hebrew letter is the Yod and it represents a single hand with a value of ten. So that this letter Yod = Hand can also represent the double witness of the two hands together having ten fingers. This is very important because the hand represented by the Yod in the Hebrew alphabet is neither open nor close. What happens if you open your hand and include the thumb? We see five fingers. The number five represents the breath of God which can be equated with the blessings and favor of God. ​ Following the same principle that we applied to the Four and Three, let us look into the inner workings of the numbers Five and Four. If we open up our hands with our thumbs included our spirit-man will immediately equate the five fingers with the blessings of God. The redeemed soul will see the creation—Four—overwhelmed by the mercies of a Mighty and Loving God—Five. ​ Ephesians 4:11 “And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers.” ​ God’s five-fold ministry is represented by an opened hand; the open hand also represents Jesus’ heart toward the human race; Jesus tells the Laodicea church that He is knocking at the door of their hearts, as if it were hand to hand or heart to heart, wanting to come in and to have fellowship with them. An open hand represents a heart that it’s open to receive God’s spiritual blessings, while a close hand represents an unwilling heart. Even today we know that a raised closed hand or fist is symbolic of rebellion. ​ Because of past failures Moses was refusing to go and deliver the Israelites from Egyptian captivity, then God asked Moses “What is that in your hand?” God had destined Moses to be a Deliverer before Moses was born, it was written in his heart. Once Moses let go of the rod that represented the failures of his past, he was released and allowed to put the past behind him, and fulfill his destiny which involved the number Ten, as in the Ten Commandments written by God Himself on stoned tablets that Moses was to deliver to Israel. ​ Moses was also called to consecrate the priesthood as recipients of the sacrifices that Israel was required to offer. The word consecration is a two part word: the second part of the word is Mah-leh = SECRATE. In the original Hebrew first appears in Genesis 1:22 and is translated “Fill up complete” God places two Hebrew letters in front of Mah-leh: first the Yod and second Dalet: Yod means hand and Dalet means open door. Put it all together and to consecrate means to open up your hand which represents our hearts and God will fill it to overflow with mercy and grace. Christianity’s foundation are Justification, sanctification, glorification and consecration. ​ The Five-fold ministry proclaiming the Four basic tenants of the Christian faith completes the number Nine: Justification by faith in the blood of Jesus, Sanctification by the Word of God, Glorification by the renewing work of the Holy Spirit in us and the Consecration of an open heart to God’s individual destiny for each of us. ​ Psalm 19:9-10 “The fear of the Lord is clean, enduring forever; The judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether. More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold; sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.” ​ Verse Nine represents God’s completed work that will endure forever, and the number Ten represents that it was all accomplished through the gifts or blessings that flow out of Ordinal Perfection: Honey is ingested into the inward man and gold is for our outward adornment. Six is the number of man; Adam was created on the sixth day. Adam was created in the image of God who is Three Persons so we see that Three plus Three equals Six. ​ Psalm 8:4-6 “What is man that You are mindful of him, and the son of man that you visit him? For you have made him a little lower than the angels, and You have crowned him with glory and honor. You have made him to have dominion over the works of Your hands; You have put ALL THINGS under his feet.” ​ Man is the crowning achievement of God’s creation! Meaning that man is the reason that God created our universe and the purpose for its continued existence. Although the first man, Adam failed to measure up to God’s destiny, the last Adam, Jesus did not let us down. ​ We added three plus three to see man’s destiny in verse SIX: How God put all things under man’s feet. Following God’s flow of add and multiply let us now multiply Three times Three which equals Nine the number of completeness and the finality that takes place before we enter into the infinite realm in which God dwells, with a new heaven and the new earth added. ​ Psalm 8:3, 9 “When I consider Your HEAVENS (our present universe), the WORK of Your FINGERS (Ordinal Perfection), the moon and the stars that You have ORDAINED…9) O Lord, our Lord, how excellent is Your name in all the earth!” ​ Psalm113:4-6 “The Lord is high above all nations, His glory above the HEAVENS (our present universe), who is like the Lord our God, who dwells on HIGH (infinity), who humbles Himself to behold the things that are in the HEAVENS and in the EARTH? (our present universe)” ​ God dwells in Infinity Time. God created our universe and put a limit for its duration for a very specific reason; and man is the tool that God personally fashioned to bring about the purpose for the creation of the heavens and the earth. ​ 1 John 3:8 “He who sins is of the devil, for the devil has sinned from the beginning. FOR THIS PURPOSE THE SON OF GOD WAS MANIFESTED, that He might DESTROY THE WORKS of the devil.” ​ I believe that the cause or reason why God created our temporary universe was that He had to deal with the nature of evil. God is GOOD and the essence of Goodness Himself: Since only God is Good and He does not change; evil then—the antonym for good—could be portrayed as a shadow that follows God’s goodness. ​ Before the creation of our universe evil existed only in a vacuum if you will. The only way for God to get rid of evil would be for Him to stop being good; thank God for the impossibility of God ever ceasing to be good. If one cannot get rid of evil then how does God neutralize it? By exposing evil for what it is: EXCEEDINGLY SINFUL in a contained area where God can keep evil from ever contaminating the Infinite Time in which He dwells. ​ Romans 7:13 “Has then what is GOOD become death to me? Certainly not! But sin, that it might APPEAR (be exposed as) SIN, was producing death in me through what is GOOD (God’s law), so that sin through the commandment might become EXCEEDINGLY SINFUL.” ​ Notice the verse and chapter numbers: Seven is the completion of something that is temporary, and Thirteen denotes sin, death and evil. I believe that our universe was created for the express purpose of exposing evil for what it is, the exact opposite of God’s goodness. Evil without essence was like a mine hidden on a field waiting to be tripped. God created a secure place—our universe—and then created the angels first, knowing that eventually one or some of His creatures would decide that they could be good without God, not knowing that evil was the opposite of all that is good, and once a sovereign creature created in the image of God put himself before God that creature would become the embodiment of evil itself. Lucifer the creature that tripped that hidden mine became the embodiment of all that is evil: Devil means supreme spirit of evil and Satan means adversary, everything that God is not. For more details on this subject read my book: The Shadow of Evil by Marcos Marrero in the books section of the houseoffaithministries.org web-page. ​ Revelation 19:20 “The the beast was captured, and with him the false prophet who worked signs in his presence, by which he deceived those who received the mark of the beast and those who worshiped his image. THESE TWO WERE CAST ALIVE into the lake of fire burning with brimstone.” ​ At the end of our first six thousand years of human history and before we enter into God’s millennial rest, the embodiment of evil in HUMAN FORM—the Antichrist and the False Prophet—are taken alive into the lake of fire, which is the infinite destiny of evil itself. A thousand years later the spiritual embodiment of evil itself—the Devil and Satan—will join them, to be displayed for time immemorial, as the smoke of their torment rises to warn all future and newly created beings of the consequences of their choosing—whether to be with God or not—and of the great difference between good and evil. ​ I used to think that Eve was the victim when the serpent lured her into partaking of the forbidden fruit. For we know that Adam was not deceived, Adam loved his bride and did not want to lose her, so he chose her fate and partook with her knowingly. But when God judged the serpent God’s pronouncement was: He, the Seed of the woman, shall bruise the serpents head. The woman was not the victim, SHE WAS THE MEANS! ​ It is true that the serpent poisoned human DNA with evil and death. But Jesus, the Seed of the woman, through His virgin birth infused eternal life into all humanity with His purifying blood, thereby exposing evil for what it truly is and eventually locking evil up for all infinity in the Lake of Fire for all to see, neutralized of its power to deceive and to never cause harm again. ​ Also, in great amazement, we will see in the new heavens and in the new earth, prominently displayed will be the holy city, the New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God. She will bear witness for time immemorial of the fact that God and only God is Good, and that His mercies endure forever. And that His promises are Yes and Amen! ​ Revelation 21:1-3 “Now I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away. Also there was no more sea. Then I, John, saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from heaven saying, ‘Behold, THE TABERNACLE OF GOD IS WITH MEN, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people. God Himself will be with them and be their God.’” ​ In verses One through Three we see the completion of the purpose for which God created our universe, the present heaven and earth. ​ Revelation 21:4 “And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, FOR THE FORMER THINGS HAVE PASSED AWAY.” ​ And in verse Four the creation represented by the number Four is introduced to a new reality: Four plus Four = Eight the number of new beginnings that follows after the completion of the number Seven, at the end of the thousand years reign of Christ. All this is taking place in Revelation chapter twenty-one: Seven times Three. ​ Daniel 6:27 “He DELIVERS and RESCUES, and He works SIGNS and WONDERS in heaven and on earth, who has delivered DANIEL (the wise) from the power of the lions.” ​ He delivers and rescues number Six the wise man, through signs and wonders. Two plus Seven equals Nine for Completion, and the Three numbers is for Divine Perfection which ADDS to the number Twelve for Governmental Perfection. Nine MULTIPLIED by the number Three equals Twenty-seven, the number of the chapter, and the number of books in the New Testament. ​ Intuitive knowledge is infinite, it is so vast and so deep that is able to provide us from within—in the spirit-man—with the assurances that a life-time in the natural could never match in experience or scope. To know that we know with unrivaled certainty! Even though we may not understand it all in the natural, is not that what faith is? ​ All the numbers referenced in the Holy City, the New Jerusalem, speak volumes of how God puts it all together in the final tally. But for now I want to encourage those of you who are seeking Intuitive Knowledge, that is not about the numbers per say, as much as it is acknowledging the spirit-man within us by always looking at the numerical context. ​ Proverbs 20:27 “The spirit of a man IS THE LAMP OF THE LORD, searching ALL the INNER DEPTHS of his heart.” Back to Other Teachings

Top of Page Top of Page THE MECHANICS OF THE DAY OF THE LORD Written by Pastor Marcos Marrero Published on 11/27/22 This is just a sample of the book called The Mechanics of the Day of the Lord. You can read the entire book here for free. The Mechanics of the Day of the Lord Joel 2:1 “Blow the trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm in My holy mountain! Let all the inhabitants of the land tremble; For the day of the Lord is coming, for it is at hand.” What is the Day of the Lord? According to Revelation 11:18 it is the Day of God’s wrath! When God will judge both the living and the dead, and God will reward the prophets and the saints. Revelation 11:18 “The nations were angry, and Your wrath has come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that You should reward Your servants the prophets and the saints, and those who fear Your name, small and great, and should destroy those who destroy the earth (with the spiritual corruption of their lying wonders and all forms of delusion).” Isaiah 34:8 “For it is the day of the Lord’s vengeance, the year of recompense (wrath) for the cause of Zion.” Italics, in brackets, and in bold added by me for emphasis. It is my belief that the Day of the Lord will begin as a response to the nation of Israel being invaded by a confederacy of nations whose leader originates from the north of Israel. God will not be reacting to the actions of these nations but rather will induce these nations to act on His behalf in order for Him to judge them on His Holy Land at God’s appointed time. Ezekiel 38:1-6 “Now the word of the Lord came to me, saying, Son of man, set your face against Gog, of the land of Magog, the prince of Rosh, Meshech, and Tubal, and prophesy against him, and say, thus says the Lord God: Behold I am against you, O Gog the prince of Rosh, Meshech, and Tubal. I will turn you around, put hooks into your jaws, and lead you out, with all your army, horses, and horsemen, all splendidly clothed, a great company with bucklers and shields, all of them handling swords. Persia, Ethiopia, and Libya are with them, all of them with shield and helmet; Gomer and all its troops; the house of Togarmah from the far north and all its troops—many people are with you.” A comprehensive list is given of all of the participants in the above verses, who will all be compelled to participate in this invasion of the nation of Israel. Why is God initiating all of this? Ezekiel 38:16 “You will come up against My people Israel like a cloud, to cover the land. It will be in the latter days that I will bring you against My land, so that the nations may know Me, when I am hallowed in you, O Gog, before their eyes.” The God of Israel is going to manifest Himself to the entire world as the All Mighty God when He annihilates in an instant all these nations that set themselves against the nation of Israel.
