Hello and welcome to the House of Faith Ministries. I'm Lisa Kaine and I'm recording this teaching on Friday, April 18th, 2025. Welcome. Let's open up in a word of prayer. Father God, we thank you for your word and we pray that your word does not return void. That your word fills our hearts and our minds, our soul, and our spirit. That we manifest your word and we share your word to others so that they learn of who you are and how you do things. so they can even better themselves and at least humble themselves before you, Father God, in the name of Jesus. Thank you, Lord. In Jesus, holy name we pray. Amen. Amen. Amen. Welcome. I'm glad you can join me. We're about to have resurrection day here on Sunday. And since I'm going to be with family, I'm going to teach on Friday. Did this the last two weeks uh because of busy family time over the weekend. This teaching is called heaven's throne. So, we're going to get into how God keeps himself protected, keeps himself from sin, keeps himself surrounded by the things he creates for his pleasure. So, I want to walk you through heaven's throne and partially about end times. I went into end times last time, end time prophecy. So, we're going to talk a little bit more about that, but this is called heaven's throne. So, let's dive in. Let's go to our first two scriptures here. Psalm 103:19, the Lord hath prepared or set up his throne, his covering in the heavens, and his kingdom dominion rule with power over all. Thus, and then Isaiah 66 verse1, thus sayith the Lord, the heaven is my throne or my covering, and the earth is my foottool. Where is the house that you build unto me, and where is the place of my rest? And he's talking to King David there about uh David wanted to build him a home, a temple. And David never had the opportunity to do that because we had of how much bloodshed he had on him. But Solomon, his son, was able to build the temple. And we know that the temple will be built the third time, which will be an end time prophecy. So notice here, I want you to see something. The Lord hath prepared. So the Lord took this action. And what action did he take? He set up his throne. Which that throne is a representation of your covering, of your protection. That's what he did. He has set up his covering in the heavens. And his kingdom is the dominion that's going to rule or with power over all. We are part of the kingdom of God for anyone who believes that Jesus Christ is the son of God. 1 John 4:1 tells us to test the spirits. If a person can't say, "I Jesus Christ is the son of God," then yeah, we got problems. But notice the covering part of this. This is his covering. You see, we can set ourselves up under a particular covering. Some people do it through a church. You follow that church's teaching. So you you place that covering of that church upon you. And it could be a denomination. There are many out there. Uh I mean a lot of denominations out there. You've got the Calvary Chapel, the Assemblies of God, 7th Day Adventist, Baptist, Methodist, and the list goes on. Okay? Now, I was not saying any of those in any particular order. But you can also place your covering upon you personally with the Lord which separates you from that. See, here's a key element that we need to understand about the heavenly throne room of God. This heavenly covering, it is a spiritual covering. We were talking about spiritual covering. When you have this covering upon you and you you establish it, see God established his own, when you do that through God and you avoid going through a denomination or a church or anything of that nature, what you end up doing is you're separating yourself from the things of the world. Now, is the church a thing of the world? Typically not. The church is part of the kingdom of God, part of the body of Christ. Well, here's the issue. What if that church has set up what's called commandments of men? They set up theological rules that you have to follow. Uh there are many churches who believe that in order for you to get saved, you not only have to confess, but you also have to get water baptized. And that's not scriptural. Remember the thief on the cross? So, the thief in the cross didn't get down off that cross to go get water baptized. Okay. So, here's where we're looking at it. We're going to be here in Revelation 4 verse, we're going to go through that whole chapter there. I want you to see and understand how God has established his covering upon him. And this is for your protection. So you can come into your secret place with the Lord, you and God, and you delve into the scriptures and you find out what kind of covering do you want to place upon yourself and it will be biblical. It would be scriptural just like a church does. Your body, your temple, you you have to be able to do this. And the heavenly throne room is set up as an example like this because then this teaches us how this is a foundation on teaching us how to deal with everything that comes up to the throne room. And part of it is also that you're putting God first. Remember Matthew 6:33, seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and then all these things are added unto you. Amen. So start here in Revelation 4, chapter uh chapter 4:es 1 and two. After this, I looked and behold. So, I'm going to pause here for a second. John the beloved is writing the book of Revelation. And he is about to be called up to heaven, not to die, but to be a witness and to write down the revelation of it. Now, you say, well, okay, he's going to write down the revelation of whatever is given to him. This is all future prophecy. Do we really need to know that? It's going to happen one way or another. Jesus told the church of Sardis in Revelation 3, and the church of Sardis is a dead church. He said, "If you had been praying and watching," which is what he told the church to do in Matthew 24, you would have known the hour that I was coming. And a lot of people teach that no one knows the day nor the hour. But yet, there's scripture that tells us we're to be watching and praying to be aware of. So, we're in this setting where John is going to be revealed or given revelation of what is to come. Now, I am not an end time prophecy expert by any means. And for that matter, anyone who is. They're not God. I'm not God. We're not God. We're not going to know or understand everything perfectly or completely. What happens is we're going to know a part. And when our parts are revealed to one another, we all share our little parts together, a bigger picture that we have. And that will help us understand end time prophecy. So what we're going to do is that's the setting, the higher uh the overall higher setting here that we're looking at. But we're looking at the throne room at God in his throne room and how it's set up and how John perceives it. So let's get into that. So after this I looked and behold a door. Uh another word for that door in the Strong's dictionary is portal was opened in heaven. You see we do not see heaven and we do not see God's throne. Yet you're going to see that thunderings and lightnings happen here. We get storms, we see thunder uh we see lightning and we hear thunder. So, we know that these things do come to the earth because that's up in the sky, the heavenly area. But we don't see what John is seeing here. This is fascinating. But in order for him to see it, a door had to be opened. You see, if you're going to want to understand end time prophecy, what do you need to do? You need to get into the word of God and ask the Lord to reveal to you, which is opening a door. So, first things first, a door is opened in heaven. And the first voice which I heard w was as it were of a trumpet. Now, let's let's prepare ourselves here for just a quick moment as we're going to look at the throne room. There are weird things in heaven.

He's hearing a voice that sounds like a trumpet talking to him. Like a trumpet is talking to him is kind of what he's saying. He doesn't see the person. He hears this voice because remember he's still on the earth. He isn't in the spirit yet. So he hears so it's like um like a faded um it's a like a warped sound kind of a trumpet sound that's he's hearing through this door and it's telling him let's go and look at that says uh and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet or reverberation. That was another way to look at this is that he's hearing the vibrations and his mind is understanding what it's saying means it wasn't actually speaking through a mouth per se. It was speaking through the re uh reverberation talking with me which said come up hither and I will show thee things which must be hereafter. So there's also an invitation from heaven. John was given an invitation. So the door was open. An invitation was given him. He heard it through a reverberating kind of sound. And he and and he's realizing that he's being offered a chance to go up to heaven. Now he doesn't say nope, I don't want to go there. He says or he records and immediately I was in the spirit and behold a throne was set in heaven and one sat on the throne. Now it's interesting that the word throne the word throne is it represents dominion power and here is God seated on the throne in heaven and John sees this. This is incredible because we don't get to see these things, but John was given the ability to record it so that we can actually get an idea of what this heavenly throne looks like. So, let's go into that. And he and he that sat or dwell was to look upon like a jasper and a sardine stone. And there was a rainbow round about the throne in sight like unto an emerald. And round about the throne was four and 20 seats. And upon the seats I saw four and 20 elders sitting clothed in white raignment. And they had on their heads crowns of gold or symbols of honor. So the first thing he noticed is the lighting. It's light. It's bright. It's like jasper and sardine. These are colors and they're very vibrant. And then he's noticing he's got 24 elders around him. It's like his own personal counsel, but they do more than that. You're going to see that here in just a moment. Let's continue on to verse 5. And out of the throne proceeded lightnings and thunderings and voices. Let's pause there for a moment. Let's think about this. So lightning, thunderings, voices. Again, we don't see that here on earth. We see lightning. We hear the thunder and we don't recognize that the heavenly throne is set up in this manner. It's got to be loud. But John is not just seeing the the bright lightnings. He's also seeing the the the coloring of God on this throne. And then he's seeing uh these 24 elders that are surrounding. And he's he's I would imagine he's got to be in a state of shock. was like, you know, the the jaw drop kind of thing, you know. And there were seven lamps of fire burning or kindling before the throne, which are the seven spirits of God. So, we get a little bit of insight as to who God is or what encompasses or makes God who he is. He is seven spirits. Now, we know him as God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. See, we don't know but just a little bit of who God is. We know he's omnipotent. He's always been. He will always be. And he created us. He's powerful. But for that part of it, we know he's forgiving. We know he's merciful. We know so little of God. It's like, you know, we're gonna find out when we get to heaven and we're on the other side of this world. We're going to finally get to see more of who God is and find out more of who he is. What makes him work? Why did he do all this? These kind of things. These type of questions are going to be asked and answered. This is how we're going to see it. So now verse six, and before the throne there was a sea of glass like under crystal. In the midst of the throne and round about the throne were four beasts. Beasts are a live animal full of eyes before and behind. Beast live animals. Four of them. We need more information. Let me go to verse seven. And the first beast was like a lion, and the second beast was like, The second beast like a calf, and the third beast had a face as a man, and the fourth beast was like a flying eagle, and the four beasts had each of them six wings or feathers about him. And they were full of eyes or vision within. In other words, they can see. And they rest not day and night. They don't take break. They don't have intermissions. And they say, "Holy, holy, holy Lord God Almighty, which was and is and is to come. These are holy beasts." Now I I don't want to belittle it. They're beasts. Let's continue on real quick in verse 9. And when those beasts give glory or praise and honor, the the honor is the value or the money pays. They're giving honor to who? Jesus. Because Jesus is sitting at the right hand of God. They're giving honor to both God and Jesus for what they're doing acknowledging the paid amount uh to redeem us. And they think and and when these let's start from verse nine at the beginning. When those beasts give glory and honor and thanks to him that sat on the throne, who liveth forever and ever, the four and 20 elders fall down before him that sat on the throne and worship. They kiss and fawn him that liveth forever and ever, casting and cast their crowns before the throne, saying, Thou art worthy, deserving, oh Lord, to receive glory and honor and praise, for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created. Pause. So these four beasts who can see everything because they got eyes all over the place. Praise the Lord. And when they do that, the 24 elders just drop everything. They throw everything back at God. They give them back the crowns and the the glory that they had earned for themselves and they throw it back to God and they say, "Here you go, Lord, and we praise you for you are holy, holy, holy, who is, who was, and who is to come." So he's got this atmosphere around himself that is constantly giving him glory, praise, and honor. Why does God do that? Well, we have to pause and think about that for a moment. God is omnipotent and he knows of how much power that he has that if he were to become corrupt, it would be bad. I'm just going to leave that there. It it would be bad. So what he has to do and what he does is he sets himself up an atmosphere of protection reminding him who he is, who he was, who he will become or be because he's always he'll never change. So he is being in the future as he's being in the now that he was in in the past. That is our beloved Jesus Christ. See, let's look at this from an interesting perspective. So, before all of creation took place, you had God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit that we're aware of. We see that there are seven spirits. So, there's more. But let's just talk about these three that we're taught and know about. We call them the Trinity. Even though that word is not in the Bible, that's what we call them because the three work as one that so much so that even though they're each individuals, we can't tell them apart. But before creation happened, they were all three. The spirit in the spirit Jesus left that son that he was in the spirit left that

was pure powerful holiness. And he he left that to become a man to save you and me to redeem us to pay a price. He obvious obviously thought we were valuable to save. That's what Jesus did to the point that he's no longer spirit when he rose from the dead. He rose with a body. He now has a body. God the Father and the Holy Spirit are still spirit, but Jesus now has a body who now sits at the right hand of God in the throne. They share that um power, which is what the throne room represents. It's their covering and they and in that covering they've got praise and worship going on. Now, let's take this to our level. Let's bring us to to this level where what if we walked into the throne room of God. And you know in the spirit we do all the time whether we know it or not. We do. I when I start praying and I'm praying and I I'm actually entering into the and you want to know how I'm entering into it. I can't do it with my flesh but my prayers are in an incense type of form and that it's smoke and it's in the spirit going up to God and he hears the prayers and he moves. Now, we have opposition in the heavenlies where God sends the healing down. It's on its way, but it could take weeks before we get it. Why? Because we have an enemy that's opposing us. Part of that, by the way, is approved by God because God is also interested to know who you are. Where are you going to go with this healing? What do you, you know, are you going to thank me for that healing? Because nine out of 10en times many people do not thank God after they get their healing or after they get a particular revelation. You know, Paul when he was dealing with the thorn in the flesh didn't say what that thorn in the flesh was, but he asked God three times to to remove it. And God says, "My grace is sufficient for You know, the closer you get to God, the more you get to learn about him, the more you realize it is, he has made you understand and realize that you earn um what you do puts you in a position that the more you sacrifice under the hardship conditions, better off you're going to be when you get into heaven, when you get to that throne room, when you get to that element. Now, what about our walk? Because, see, I've seen questions like, "I'm a believer in Christ, but I still sin." Or, "I'm a believer, but I fall and I mess up again and again and again." What then? See, God has a hedge of protection around himself as an example for you and me to realize we need to put ourselves in an atmosphere where we place a hedge of protection around us. the name of Jesus as the son of God around us where we play the praise and worship music whether we're in church or at home especially if we're ministering we miss a service and we had to go do something else which comes up then these are the things you need to be prepared for you need to be prepared to go into ministry this is that next level calling and you have to put your protection around yourself which is the name of Jesus the son of the living God He's our Lord and Savior. And so if you don't want to sin anymore, you have to purpose in your heart that this is what I want to do. I want to give God the glory. I want to praise him. Well, then do that. Stay in that. Even though you have to step out, you have to go to sleep, you have to take a shower, you have to go to work, you have to do these things, you can always have God on your tongue speaking the name of Jesus, praising him, worshiping him because that's what's going to keep you from tripping and falling. And the Lord will show you, he's a lamp into your feet, a light into your path. He will show you, reveal to you the things that are coming up. This is the hedge of protection that we have been granted and we can have that. Let's look a little further. Um, Job is an interesting book. Job 1:10. Hast not thou made a hedge? This is the devil talking to God about Job? Look at what he says here. Hast not thou made a hedge in twin or shut in about him and about his house and about all that he hath on every side? Thou hast blessed the work of his hands. because you've kneed at the work of his hands. In other words, you approve the work of his hands. The transaction and his substance you bought. You you paid the price for him is increased in the land. You see, the devil's acknowledging. See, God is bragging about Job right now. And he's saying, "Have you seen my servant Job?" And um the devil's like, "Yeah, you got him so shut in and protected I can't do anything to him.

That was God that placed the hedge of protection around Job. Job had God's covering on him because of the acts that Job that Job did. Even when his kids had a party, the very first thing when sunlight came up, he was over there um sacrificing animals just in case they cursed while they were under the influence of a drink. He didn't know if they did it or not, but he was praying on their behalf, interceding for them just in case. This is the kind of righteousness that Job had. And that place God's covering upon him, God approved it. And everything about Job, he was righteous and protected. And yet, God bragged about him and allowed the enemy to do what he did to him. But not once did Job complain or curse God. He talked and he said things like, you know, I believe him. He's my Lord. Hey, I came into this world naked. I'm going to leave this world naked. He confessed these things. But he never once cursed God. And then the devil had to leave him alone after that because God shut him in and protected and placed his covering over him. And wouldn't you rather have God's covering on you versus man's covering? See, when you rely on man and you rely on what man can do, you can rely on what a doctor can do. They're taking guesses as to what your problem is medically. They don't know who is your creator, who knows your body best, our God in heaven, who knows your heart. If you're truly interested in wanting to be in the ministry of the the word of God and you're really wanting to go forth and save people's lives, now is the time to go into all the world and preach the good news. This is why I do what I do. I'm trying to tell you guys, get saved now. Because when you see these seven years that are coming that's been prophesied and spoken of in Daniel and Revelation through John the beloved, when you see that coming where at the first 50 days, nobody could die. It's hell on earth. You don't want to live in that time period. Don't make it to that time period. Get saved now because the righteous will be removed before that time. Look at the conversation Abraham had with God before God went and destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah. Abraham was very concerned about the righteous being mixed with the wicked. And here the righteous stood up and said no. Uh my humble apologies. My grandson came in and just uh uh got me all Abraham had a conversation with God and as God was tell he revealed to Abraham what he was going to do. who's going to destroy Sodom and Gomorrah. But see, Lot lived in Sodom. And so God Abraham was like, "Wait a second. There's righteous and wicked." The two are entwined together. And so God Abraham asked him, "What if there's 50 righteous people?" And God says, "I won't destroy the city." What about there's 45? No. Won't destroy. How about 40? No. 30? No. 20? No. 10? No. When God destroyed Sodom, it was only Lot and his two daughters who were rescued. His wife turned around and turned into a pillar of salt. That's all that survived that because that was all that was left of righteousness. Same with Noah's day. Methuselah was number nine. He was the ninth righteous. Noah and his family were eight. When Methuselah died, that was it. There were no other righteous people. This allowed God to destroy the earth with the flood. Well, he's gonna do the same thing when he brings wrath and he pours it on the world, which is what that seven-year time period is all about. So, now's the time for you and me as teachers of the word of God to one, place that hedge of protection around us, and two, to go into all the world and tell people, you don't want to live in that time frame. Get saved now while the getting is good. Amen. That's what we need to do. And look at what else um in Job chapter 3 uh verse 23. Why is light given to a man whose way is hid and whom God hath hedged or fenced in? You see the light of the world is through us and in us when we stand with God. Even though we still fall, God has forgiven us and we're declared righteous. Look at Ecclesiastes 10:8. He that digth the pit shall fall into it. And who so breakth a hedge, a serpent shall bite him. When you don't have your covering, you're going to get bit by the devil because remember, he was the serpent in the Garden of Eden. And so, he's going to come bite you. You need to be in a place where you have God's hedge of protection around you. You need to enter it. Go to him. Start a relationship with him. Start talking with him and say, "Lord, I need you." And then spend that quality time with him. Don't just do a daily devotional that's anywhere between 5 to 15 minutes. Let it mean something. Purpose it in your heart and mind. Let your heart talk to God and say, "I really, really want more of you." And by the way, he tests the hearts of men. So, he's going to know. What else is he going to do? He is going to answer your calling. He's going to answer your prayer and he will be there and he will place his covering upon you and he will conceal you and hide you in his arms and nothing can touch you unless the Lord allows it. And then at that point if that's the case, something does touch you or something happens do what Job did. I came into the world naked. I'm going leave this world naked. I just give you the glory. Because see, God has an ultimate plan. Amen. He has his end goal. Read Daniel 9:27 gives you the ultimate plan. He's going to bring an end to sin, an end to iniquity, an end to transgression. He's going to close up vision and prophecy. He's going to bring an end to that. All of that's coming to an end. So, in the meantime, we as believers need to let the world know it's time to get saved. time to get saved and place ourselves into under his covering so that we're walking under his anointing and we are not convoluted or mixed up with commandments of men or polluted by theology that they can't get it and they'll never get it. Not until they humble themselves before the Lord and call upon the name of the Lord Jesus and are saved. Amen. So that's just how it works. Let's close in a word of prayer. Father God, we thank you for your word and we bless your word and we honor your word. You are precious and holy and worthy and honorable and we thank you that your word does not return void. Let your word fill our hearts, Father God, and let us manifest your presence and let us tell the world. Open the doors for us to tell the world now is the time to get saved. Thank you for showing us how you set up your throne room. Thank you for giving us the idea of how to hedge ourselves in under your holy protection. Thank you, Lord. In the name of Jesus, we pray. Amen. Amen. Happy resurrection day and I will see you next week. Bye-bye.
