Hello and welcome to the House of Faith Ministries. I'm Lisa Kain and I'm recording this message on Thursday, September 12th, 2024. Welcome. Let's open up in a word of prayer. Father God, we lift you up and we bless your word. We bless you and we thank you for your word. Move me aside. Let your Holy Spirit do the talking here, Father God, and show us the love that you have demonstrated for us. Thank you, Father God. and let that love penetrate and let it transform us. So much so that as we walk in your word, everyone who sees us will know that it is your love that is the power behind everything that is happening in the name of Jesus we pray. Amen. Amen. Amen. God bless you. Welcome. I'm grateful that you are here. I hope that you are blessed by this content. Share it with anyone you like. Uh this is uh good teaching. Good teaching. So I hope you en enjoy it. Let's go to our opening scripture here. This message is called Do You Know His Love. And our opening scripture here is in Luke 23:46. And when Jesus had cried with a loud voice, he said, "Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit." And having said thus, he gave up the ghost. So, just to kind of reiterate a little bit of how I teach, what you're seeing here is the bolded words are the uh the original words that were used in the translation from the original to the King James in the English. And so that word could have other meanings. They could have used other words in that place. So what I do is when I bold the word in the screen that means that's the word in the Bible King James version but the ones after in the parentheses are other meanings of the word. So example here for father into thy hands I command I place alongside I present I deposit my spirit. In other words he's depositing his spirit into the hands of God. And having said thus he gave up the ghost or expired. So that's how I teach. That's how I present the scriptures to you and everything is done through the King James version. Now that's our opening scripture. So what I want to do is I want to share with you um an interesting teaching uh talking about the love of God. I'm asking you do you know his love? purpose I have for this teaching is I hope that by understanding through knowledge and what Christ did for us that it would change you by his love that the change the transformation would be emotional spiritual maybe even cause you on the inside to just break um I've been through that and I know that when you get this it penetrates deep into the heart where your thoughts and your feelings are and It transforms you. I am hoping beyond all hope that you grasp this and get it. Now remember, it's not by might nor by power. It is by his spirit. So I've been praying and asking the spirit to work through you, the listener, for this teaching. Okay? So be ready, be prepared, and listen to what the word of God is telling us today. Amen. So let's go to Psalm 49:15. But God will redeem my soul from the power of the grave. For he shall receive me. Saha. Now let's add those extra words in because I really want you to get this. But God will redeem or sever ransom, release, preserve my soul from the power or the hand and dominion of the grave which is Hades or the world of the dead. For he shall receive or take me. Sila sa not sure exactly how to pronounce sa and they don't really know what the word sa means but a lot of theologians take that as to pause and think on this but what I want you to see what the psalmist is saying here is redemption means to pay the ransom for whatever is being held captive in this case the world is what's been held by been held captive by the grave and death but by Jesus giving up his blood and life on the cross. He paid that ransom. And the psalmist in the Old Testament, thousand so years before Jesus went to the cross, he's talking about the redeemer because the redeemer has been prophesied to do this and Jesus did it. Let's go to Psalm 103:4. Who redeemth thy life from destruction? Who crowneth thee with loving kindness and tender mercies? Now let's read it with the extra words. Who redeemth? Look at this word next to kin by back thy life from destruction or the pit corruption grave. Who crowneth which means encircle compass thee with loving kindness. Favor and tender mercies compassion. Oh this is so good. So here I want you to notice something. Redeemer. Redeemth here means it has another flavor to it. Next of kin. You see what Jesus is doing when he redeems us. He's following the process Israel follows through the process of Jubilee. If you go look at Leviticus 20 and it's about verses 8 through13, you're going to find that the Jubilee is a year of rest and it happens every 50th year. And it's a not only a year of rest. So they do not eat their crops because it's already been provided. Everything was doubly provided in the 49th year. So that double portion comes out in the 49th year so that you can rest in the 50th year. But what happens is every slave, every person who had sold themselves in that 50th year is given back to the original owners. The land that was sold any time in that time frame was given back to the original owner. Jesus is paying this price as if a 50th year of Jubilee, giving us back the authority that we had with Adam and Eve before Adam and Eve disobeyed God and fell. So when this word here says next of kin, remember we are a child of God. We are joint hes with Christ. So this puts us back into eternity with Christ, not the grave, not death. The wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is life. And if you go follow that, you will see that through repentance, because of the redemption of what Jesus did, we have eternity with Christ and not death, not a dying at hell. And I love how he used the word crown there, that that word crown is placed on our heads, but it encompasses us with his favor and compassion. That's absolutely amazing. You have got to see what Christ did in this moment on the cross. He died that we might be saved. Let's go read Galatians 3:13-14. Christ hath redeemed by a ransom rescue us from the curse of the law being made a curse for us. For it is written, cursed is everyone that hangeth on a tree. That the blessing which is a fine speaking elegance of language of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ. that we might receive the promise, which is an announcement, a pledge of the spirit through faith or persuasion, moral conviction. So, what's happening here is you're seeing that Paul is reiterating what the psalmist said in in both Psalm 49:15 and Psalm 103:4. He's stating that Christ took the curse and paid it in full, buying us back from the law and placing us back into the promises or these announcements given to Abraham that we are joint hes in. So remember when he said next of kin, he is restoring us back to the state that Adam and Eve had before they fell, which is giving us the authority now to overcome. Because see, he didn't remove the law and he didn't um take away the law. You have to understand what the Lord did here. See, God is a God of rightness, justice. He established the law. So Jesus had to fulfill the law because none of us could do it. The law told us that we were sinners and we couldn't fulfill it. So, you had to have Christ do what he did because that was what God called for and he did it. But he has to leave it until he completes his entire plan that he has for us in this world. You can go look at that in Daniel 9:24. He's going to abolish sin. He's going to take care of all of this. But because we are in a justice system, we have to wait out the court system of what he's doing. Now, I want you to also notice something that Paul is uh saying here might be saved. It's a choice. You can receive this spirit, which is the spirit of Christ through faith by believing. And it is by this faith that we can know that our salvation is secure in Christ. But you can also walk away. That's incredible. So Christ not only did this to save the world, but he also did it knowing that some would not believe, some would not accept. And he still did it so that the rest of us who want to believe can get it. Oh, how precious, precious this is. This is so powerful. Let's go to Galatians now 4:es 4-6. But when the fullness or completion of the time was come, God sent forth or he sent him on a mission. He dispatched his son made of a woman made under the law to redeem, buy up, ransom us them that were under that law, that we might receive the adoption of sons. And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the spirit of his son into your hearts, which is where the thoughts or feelings are crying, "Aba, father." Oh, I hope you are getting this. What he has done, God purposely sent his son as a man born of a woman to pay the ransom and fulfilled that law that we couldn't do. You know, Satan deceived Adam and Eve and then ever since they fell, we've been born under this curse generation after generation. But it is by this law that we were held captive because we were accused of our sins by the devil in the court system. He accused us. But Jesus, part of his plan was to set the captives free. So he freed us those that choose to believe in Christ and and when you choose because you're choosing based off of knowledge. Yes, the Holy Spirit is moving through you, but he's planting this knowledge in your mind, in your heart, your thoughts, and your feelings. And he's telling you, "This is right." And you're sitting there listening to it going, "Yeah, that is right. I could tell it's right." And then you choose to believe. Now with that knowledge when we choose to believe our hearts are at a point where now we start expressing the thoughts and the feelings of what Christ did. And at that moment that's when we realize the impact of his love for us. He went to that cross. He wore a crown of thorns. He bled from the top of his head all the way to the bottom of his feet. The blood went on that cross on that piece of wood. That was a curse. Blood went on that. It traveled down because he had so much blood. When they pierced him inside that water and blood flowed. When that water went down that cross, it hit the ground. It shook the ground. And if you believe what Ron Wyatt said, he found the ark of the covenant right under that spot. The blood landed on the mercy seat, fulfilling the law that God established. That's love. Oh, I hope you're getting it. Because see, this is where we can know that we are free. We're no longer obligated to live under that law. We are free to live Christlike. We are free to live in the gift of God's life and what he did to us. Let's go look at Titus 2:14. Who gave himself for us that he might, here's that word might, redeem, ransom us from all iniquity. Look at what this word iniquity means. Illegality and purify unto himself a peculiar which were being beyond usual people zealous of good works. Oh, so what is that saying? The word iniquity means illegality. And that's what we're charged with is the iniquities of our sin. And that is where it's now we're realizing we are illegally here until we have a redemption or a redeemer or a pardon for our sins. It's like we're illegally here on this earth until we receive Christ. So this is the justice system that God has established and he works with. It means his son paid that ransom for anything we've done illegally against God. That redemption is what sets us free. That freedom causes our hearts and thoughts and feelings to change, transform. We become zealous for the goodness of things because we want to do good works. And it starts with Christ understanding what he did at the cross. That's the power of the cross. and what he did to our hearts and those good works follow. That's what we manifest once we get it. We manifest the good works because we're understanding. We have that knowledge of the love that he did for us. And we don't want to belittle it. We don't want to take it for granted. We don't want to treat it vain. This is precious that we can't be blas about it. We got to be zealous for the goodness of him. And when we do those good things, we show the world because we're sharing a testimony that God is the one who changed us on the inside. And that's where the power is. This is where the true power of God resides. It's within us because we got it. And so eventually people will get it and they'll be like, "Wow, Jesus did that for me. He did it for the whole world." Yes, but he did it for me. When you get it, oh, it's incredible. Let's go to First Peter. We're going to be in chapter 1 18- 21. For as much as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, and corruptable things are things that decay. They're perishable like or as silver and gold from your vain empty conversation received by tradition from your fathers. See, when your fathers teach you how to do things, they they tell you do it this way, do it that way. But if you don't have the love from Christ in there to do it is vain. It's empty. You can go read 1 Corinthians 13 on that verse uh 19. but with the precious which is valuable blood of Christ as of a lamb without blemish and without spot. who verily has fore ordained to know before him before the foundation or the conception of the world, but was manifest rendered apparent in these last times for you who by him do believe have faith in God that raised him up from the dead and gave him glory that your faith which is your persuasion, credence and hope, your expectation might be in God. Let's talk about that for a moment. Let's see what Peter's saying. Peter is establishing the value of God's love here. He's telling us that it isn't corruptible things that saves us. It's the blood of Jesus that paid the ransom. So many people want to do good things. They want to show God how worthy they are by their works. The thing is is it's a gift from God himself. He dispatched. He sent his son forth and said, "Go save them." And Jesus said, "I got you. I'm going to do this." And he went, "It's a gift. You don't have to do anything but believe." And yet, we want to go do works. I want to see how many people I can serve food to. I want to see how many services I can go to in a week. I want to see how much I can pray and be that better prayer and so on and so forth. And yet, it has nothing to do with that. Your salvation is of the Lord and it is a free gift. So we need to remember what the blood and the power of the cross of what Jesus did. This is why we take holy communion. This is one way to show that we remember Jesus on the cross because remember he commanded us this do in remembrance of me. Another way to acknowledge his love for us which is more important than anything else is that we shouldn't do things that are vain or empty that mean nothing. Don't take it for granted, but do those good things. And it it's something you want to do because you're portraying Christ through your actions. Your actions are being your testimony, fulfillment of the love of Christ in our hearts, but you're doing it without attitude, without complaint. You're doing it because you want to and you desire it. And you know, you're doing it for God. And this is the manifestation and the testifimmony that you're testifying through the knowledge that God designed this redemption long before the conception of the world. You are acting it out with a beautiful love and heart because that's what God does. He transforms us. And he made it, by the way, he made this apparent by prophesying it long ago through the psalmist and the prophets for us to know, to know his redemption and have this knowledge manifested in us to be the example that others can look to and be saved today. Because that's exactly what happened here. That the psalmist knew there was a redeemer, but he didn't know his name. He just knew God the father. Which remember what Jesus says, if you know me, you know the father. So that means if you knew the father, you knew Jesus. So the Old Testament had it just like the New Testament. And they can walk in that belief. They can walk in that faith. And they knew. And so God had separated those that died back then. You went to a place called paradise if you were a believer in God. And when Jesus was crucified on the cross, he descended and kicked out the gates of hell. And he grabbed those out of paradise. And by the way, on his way up, he stopped to talk to Mary Magdalene. You can go read this, and I just taught on this a few times now. But he stops with all those souls behind him, billions, and he he says to Mary Magdalene, "My God, your God, my father, your father, because Jesus restored us as the next of kin in the right standing with Christ, joint hes. We are brothers and sisters with Christ." Now, that's the power of what Jesus did on the cross. That's the love. Understand the word love in in the English language doesn't do it justice. It doesn't uh demonstrate the type of love that God is doing here. closest thing we have in our language is probably the the love of a mother to a child because um that mother she knows the child is so fragile she's holding the child in her hands who is fragile that child cannot do anything of its own she is morally obligated to take care of that child Jesus was morally obligated to come to our salvation to save us. And he did it. He did it. And he saved us. Now, I want you to see something here that's so powerful. Look at Romans 10:13. For whosoever, that is all whole. Everyone shall call upon, they're entitled. They can invoke the name, the authority of the Lord shall be saved, delivered, healed, preserved. That is what we have. We anyone who confesses who has who calls invokes on God, save me Jesus. I'm telling you, and if they're not doing it in vain, they're doing it in with the intention of God, I need you to save me. Whether they're calling on God the Father or Jesus the Son of God, either way, anyone who calls upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. You saw that happen here. In fact, it goes a little deeper. Let's see it in Romans 10. uh verses 9 and 10. We're going to go back a little bit in this this chapter says that if you if thou shalt confess or acknowledge with thy mouth your language the Lord who is supreme in authority Jesus and shalt believe you have faith in your heart the thoughts and the feelings because see it starts with knowledge thoughts and feelings that's where it starts so you're you're hearing you're feeling the thoughts and feelings that God raised awakened him from the dead, thou shalt be saved, delivered, protected, healed, preserved. Look what it says. For with the heart, that's your hearts and feelings. That's your thoughts and feelings. Man believeth unto righteousness, which is justification. You are just with your thoughts and feelings. You can have, you have the right to be just because you know that you called on the name of Jesus. And you know that when you did it, you had to have faith because you can't see that you're calling on him. I mean, you can't see him. He's not there. So, you're calling on him in faith, which is what activates God. This is so that manifests it. That pulls the thoughts and feelings. But look what else it says. And with the mouth, confession is made into salvation. So when you speak it, because everything is spoken by our mouths, this is what affects us. This is what takes us to that next level is when you speak scripture into your situation. When you speak the name of Jesus and you're calling on him whether you say anything or not, your thoughts, your hearts, your feeling is right there, it is manifesting inside of you through the anointing of the Holy Spirit. That is the Holy Spirit moving through you through his love of what he did on the cross. Even if you don't grasp it at that moment, that's what he did. So, we are saved by confession of our mouths, speaking out loud what Christ did to us because we're speaking to all the witnesses around us. Who's around us? God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Spirit, angels, demons, and the like. They're watching us. There are witnesses. So whether you have anybody else around you, whether you're in the bathroom, in the toilet, and you call on God, and no one else is around you, God is your witness. Oh, I hope you're getting that. And with that confession, that means you're using your language of faith, and you're manifesting salvation, healing, deliverance, and preservation within yourselves. And others can do this, too. Anyone can do this. Anyone could call upon the name of the Lord. And see, you don't have to just do it for salvation of eternal life. That's for even an immediate situation. If you walk into the bank and a bank robbery takes place, the name of Jesus has the authority there. He will save you, preserve you, heal you, deliver you of anything. Like I said, bank robbery, you're dealing with, you're you're worried about your soul or spirit on the inside, the just call on the name of Jesus. He saves you. That's what he did. Let's go look at the basics of what he did here in John 3 15-17. That whosoever believeth in him should not perish. Look at the word perish. It means destroy fully, lose, die, but have eternal or perpetual life. For God so loved, there's that word love. See, it's social, moral, sense, obligation. He was obligated. He loved the world. He obligated. He He kept his obligation to the world cuz you know what? God could have stopped everything long ago when Adam and Eve messed up. He could have said, "We're done. He almost did it with the flood, but he saw Noah. He saw something there." Maybe he was looking at the future from that moment. He saw Lisa, me, praising him, thanking him for saving me. Maybe he did the same for you. What a thought to think of. and to have in your heart to know that this is what he did because of his love. For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that whoever believes or has faith in him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God sent not his son into the world to condemn, decide, or punish the world, but that the world through him might be saved. There's that word saved. Save, deliver, protect, heal, preserve, and might because it is a choice. It is a choice. This is what we have based on what God did. This is what love is. The laying down of one's life to save another. Christ demonstrated that love. And we should not take it for rain or granted or empty. We should let that love fill our hearts, our thoughts, and our feelings. let it manifest us emotionally in him so that we're getting it. Because that is where the Holy Spirit does the most work because once the hardenness of your heart, your stiff neckness if you will, is broken, the Holy Spirit's in there and he's got you and he's going to continue to work in you and change you, transform you. And this helps us remember the power of the cross of what Jesus did. That Holy Spirit moving in us, transforming us. we remember and we know it. So even though we have down times or slow times or we're not in the word for a moment or two, Jesus is always there. The Holy Spirit is always there. This is how much God loves us. And I hope you get it because when you get it, you should be an emotional wreck. But you know that you're saved by his actions. Catch his love and his salvation now. Don't wait. We don't know when he will return. And he is returning. We need to be ready and watchful for his return. And there is no better time now than to get saved. Amen. Let's say the sinner's prayer together. I'm going to say it. I'll pause and allow you to speak it and let's close in this sinner's prayer. Amen. Dear Jesus, we ask you to come into our hearts where our thoughts and feelings are. And we ask you to forgive us of our sin, of our iniquity, of our illegal status. And we ask you to be our Lord and Savior and to help us be saved, delivered, healed, and preserved in anything we face. Thank you. In the name of Jesus we pray. Amen. Amen. Amen. God bless you. I hope you are blessed. Share this message with others who need to hear and need to know what God love God's love is. And I will see you in the next message. Bye-bye.
