THE CANA OF GALILEE WEDDING
Presented by Minister Lisa Kane

Objective:
The objective of this teaching is to uncover the deeper revelation within the account of Jesus’ first miracle at the wedding in Cana, showing how identifying problems, leaning into Jesus with them, and applying the spoken Word of God activates the miraculous. The teaching aims to equip believers to discern spiritual needs, apply Scripture in prayer, and partner with the Holy Spirit to manifest God’s glory in everyday life.
Synopsis:
This message, drawn from John 2, explores the significance of Jesus turning water into wine at the wedding in Cana of Galilee. Lisa Kane begins by setting the context: the wedding takes place after Jesus’ baptism, His wilderness temptation, and the calling of His disciples. The third-day reference connects both to Jewish Passover timing and to prophetic layers pointing to God’s redemptive plan.
The heart of the teaching focuses on Mary’s discernment. She identifies the lack of wine—a symbol of insufficiency—and brings the problem to Jesus. This models how believers today must notice the needs around them, whether in people’s health, circumstances, or spiritual condition, and immediately bring those concerns before the Lord. Jesus’ exchange with Mary highlights the importance of faith and obedience: while His “hour” had not yet come, the miracle is released when the servants follow His word.
Lisa explains that the water pots symbolize believers filled with the Word of God, ready for the Spirit to transform the “water” into the “wine” of new life, joy, and the power of the Holy Spirit. Just as the servants obeyed and witnessed the miracle, believers partner with Jesus by declaring His Word in faith, releasing God’s power into situations. The teaching emphasizes that miracles manifest not by human works but through faith, obedience, and the authority of Jesus’ name.
The account concludes with two outcomes: the bridegroom’s reputation is saved and the disciples believe in Jesus. This demonstrates Jesus’ nature as Savior—concerned with both practical and eternal matters—and the role of miracles in building faith. The message closes by calling believers to walk in right standing with God, apply His Word over identified needs, and actively partner with the Holy Spirit in these end times to bring salvation, healing, and deliverance to others.
