Hello and welcome to the House of Faith Ministries. I'm Lisa Kaine and I'm recording this on Saturday, November 18th, 2023. Welcome. This message is called Obedience in Calling. Let's open up in a word of prayer. Father God, we thank you for the anointing of your presence and we thank you for the living word of God to be alive and to superimpose itself upon us, Father God, that we may walk in your calling, that we may deliver your word, that we may preach the gospel, share the good news to all around us, so that each and every person can hear and be saved. Father God, we glorify you and honor you. We thank you for calling us to the callings that you have in our lives. In the glorious name of Jesus, we pray. Amen. And amen. Amen. Amen. Let's go to uh our opening scripture here. That's obedience in your calling. We're going to start here in Mark 16:15, the King James version. And he said unto them, "Go ye into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature." I get it. Sometimes we wonder, "What is our calling in life?" So, what I'm going to do is I'm going to show you the general calling that the scriptures tell us to follow. We do have special gifts that we will be anointed with and blessed with those that are walking in those gifts by the Holy Spirit. We're also going to see in the scriptures what Jesus calling was. We're going to see uh different people and how they reacted with their calling that was that they should have followed and obeyed. So, I'm going to bring all that here because I really want you to see the different reactions that are out there is kind of interesting, but at the same time, I'm hoping to encourage you to be attentive to what you're hearing around you. You should be listening to other preachers and pastors teaching as well. And if you are, you're going to find that there is a general consensus like with what we've been praying and teaching on um you know uh deliverance within ourselves. This has been a thing going on and and like Lance Wallnau uh his prophecy prophetic summit here in 2024 that he got to speak at, you know, he's one of the teachers there. He shared and we need to go out into the world. He's talking about his uh seven mountains. You can go check him out. That's Lance Wall now. W A L L N AU's I I was blessed by his message and I hope that you are too. that you should be listening to others because what you find is that they're teaching similar to what you're teaching or what the low Holy Spirit is showing you in the secret place. So if you've been reading his scriptures, which is what I've been preaching, you will find pastors and preaching pastors and teachers preaching the same thing and you'll be like, "Oh, the Holy Spirit is speaking to me." And that's how this works. So let's start here. Mark 16:15, he says, "Go." Which means, you know, get out. get out of the the church. You see, most people that attend a church attend it once, twice, maybe three times a week. You do have your occasional Easter and Christmas service attendees as well, but for the most part, most people tend to go about two, three times a week. Well, the issue is what about the rest of the week? You see, we need to be outside the walls of the church ministering the word of God out there. The church is already in the presence of the Lord in our secret place. The body of Christ is already there. What we need to do is go out there because the harvest is out there. So, we have to go reap the harvest or water it, whatever. We're called to tend the garden as Adam was called to do. Well, that's what you're saying here. He's telling you to go. you need to travel, depart, whatever it is, you know, and when you walk into like your grocery store, your gas station, when you start speaking to the people and you interact with people, God bless you. Have a wonderful day. How are you? You know, interact and have that conversation because you'll be surprised how many lives you will impact just from doing that. And there you don't even have to have any scripture. When Paul was talking to I forget what church it was, but as he's talking to that particular area, he met them at their area of being knowledgeable or they thought they were knowledgeable. He b he used their gods and their messages and turned it around on them. He didn't have to use the word of God there. But the Holy Spirit will give us what to say, when to say, and how to say it. So, we got to get out into the world. And that world there means orderly arrangement. Let me remind everybody the way I teach this is the word word in bold is the word in the scripture. What's in italicized in parentheses is other words that could have been translated in that world in in that word. All right. So we got go which means travel depart. We have world orderly arrangement just things that are set up in arrangement. And to preach and what does that word preach mean? to herald divine truth, herald divine truth, proclaim, publish. So with when you can do it multiple ways, do it with your body language. Do it with your mouth. God bless you. Hey, how you doing? You don't even have to say God bless you. Just smile and are you doing okay? Is everything okay with you? It's great to see you. How's everything going? And even if this is strangers, you simply say, hey, you look nice. or hey, you know, I hope you're having a great day cuz God is with you or the L the Holy Spirit will give you the right thing to say at the right time. Amen. So, we're told to go into the world. We're told to herald the divine truth, which is the gospel, the good news, and that gospel there's good message to every creature. That word creature, there's building, creation, ordinance. You see what I'm doing now? I'm called to teach and preach the living word of God, but I'm not in a church. I'm with the house of faith ministries. And that is the covering I have over me. That's what I'm called. House of Faith Ministries is an ordinance, a building. That is what this is talking about when it says every creature. It's like going and preaching to uh Elon M Musk and X or going to Walmart because see all of these buildings are part in part we all walk in part of that system that's in place. I'm working on getting the prayers written up so we can place them here on in the section in the website called empowering prayers. As I get the prayers broken up, we'll be praying for businesses. So, as you're praying for them behind the scenes, when you walk into them, you want to make your presence known by you smile because the people will sense it and they will know. Amen. Let's look at Luke 4:18 and 19. This is Jesus speaking. This is the calling Jesus had on his life. The spirit of the Lord is upon me because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor. He hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, to preach the acceptable year of the Lord. Okay, so this is what Jesus had. Now, we can always go back to Psalm 149 and realize that through his blood and his redemption, we're to be Christlike and we've been given authorities, which is what those prayers. And I just finished teaching on this in the last couple of weeks. So, you can get into that and go check it out. I'm just going to get it up on the website so that it's written down so we can follow it. But, I want you to see the things that Jesus were tasked to do. It wasn't just to die on the cross. He had things to accomplish in his ministry. Now remember, he is the word of God, the living word of God. He's the embodiment of it, personification of it. He's the one that came to life out of that because he wrote it. So he knew every word in the entire scriptures but written by all authors. He knew them all and he knew what he had to fulfill while he was walking here on the earth. So he says, "The spirit of the Lord upon is upon me." Now, if we're to be Christlike, we need the spirit of the Lord upon us. To do that, you get water baptized. When Jesus was baptized, the dove came upon him. Now, you when you get baptized and this the spirit of the Lord comes upon you, that's when you're ready to go into ministry. Now, you could always go look at the day of Pentecost where Peter stands up in Acts and prior to that there were flames coming out of his head or all of their it was 120 of them. They're speaking in tongues and people heard them in their own language. So, there was a manifestation of the spirit there and that spirit is something we can be giving out to others and praying over. Elders should be praying the Holy Spirit anointing upon their congregation, people that are ready to walk into their calling. So, this is a couple of ways that you walk in. One, you get baptized, and two, have the elders pray the anointing over you. Get the spirit of the Lord upon you. Now, if you're being called to, let's say, be a pastor, they will pray over you. They will anoint you with oil. So when you have a special calling, be a king, a senator, uh whatever calling, the leadership of your company, whatever it is that has, you can do that in the name of Jesus, have someone pray over you and anoint you with oil. This solidifies the contract and lets the enemy and the heavenly realm know that you are covered and called in this area. This is how this works. Okay. Now, the spirit of the Lord is upon me because he hath anointed. There was contact with oil made to preach the gospel, the good news to who? The poor. What is the churches supposed to do? You need to have food for the poor. Do you have money? You should be buying groceries for your neighbors that you know that don't have any. You should be buying groceries for your church and not outdated things. It should be current fresh food that you can hand out to your followers. This is very important. This is that's another part of a calling in our lives. He has sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to make whole. You see that word heals, cure, make whole, and the brokenhearted is crushed and shattered. How many people do you hear in this service or in a Bible study where they're sharing in confidence things that are going on around them? They're in really bad shape. They're broken and you can see it. And it's like, wow. Well, if Jesus came to heal them, guess what you are called to do? To heal them, too.

to preach deliverance, freedom, pardon to the captives because there's people in bondage. They have no idea how to get out of it. But if you are listening to this message and have been following this message, you are in the secret place with the Lord. You are filled with the anointing of the Holy Spirit. You can go pray for them and know exactly what to pray, which is what I've been teaching. That's why I want to put it in writing and get it on the website to the captives which captives are prisoners of war. There's a war you know you're born automatically into a war the moment of conception your mother conceived you in sin and now you are sin. So immediately you have to repent. So it takes a few years because you grow up and as you grow up you finally say, you know, Lord, I need you to be lord my lord of me, be my savior because I have sinned and I messed up. And see, now you get on your path with God and you start growing with him. Start learning and recovering of sight to the blind, restoring the blind's eyes. They can't see. There's people out here who are under a strong delusion right now. They can't see what's going on. They're blinded. They're It's just opaque to them. And in fact, they think that you're nuts. Well, guess what? They're the ones that are blinded. It's not us. To set out liberty, them that are bruised. So, we can also take these people that have been buffeted and hurt by the devil and proclaim liberty and pardon them. We get to pardon them. This is the atonement and the priest and the priestly acts that is our responsibility a calling in our lives. These are little things that we should be doing. Jesus was doing watch what he says here to preach the acceptable year of the Lord. Look at that. So we get to proclaim an acceptable or approved favored year. We get to do that just as much as Jesus did. He did it. I'll show you the scripture here regarding that. Watch it here in a moment. So, and then the Lord is the authority. So, we get to set this year apart. We have a new year coming up here very shortly. We get to proclaim it as an acceptable year of the Lord placing God's favor on it because we, the church, the body of Christ, taking back what the enemy had stolen from us because that is the prayer, the calling we have in our lives. This is awesome. what the Lord is doing. Now look at this in John 14:12. Verily, verily, I say unto you, he that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also, and greater works than these shall he do, because I go unto my father. You see, Jesus was in the flesh, and he walked the earth for 33 years. He healed the sick. He showed he healed the blind. He let people be delivered. He cast out demons. These are the things we should do because we're in the flesh. He had to go to the father. He's now in the spirit. So now in the flesh, we have to take up his duty. And it was Did you see the the extra part there? And greater.

I've got to do more than Jesus. I'm going to tell you when Peter cru was crucified, martyed, upside down on the cross, he did it willingly. He went up there and says, "I did what I was told to do. I've been waiting for this day because I knew I was going to die for Christ." And I taught on this a few weeks ago. So when you see the calling in your life, these are the things you're going to do which is greater than what Jesus did here on the earth. And if you don't think that you can do that, you better get the Holy Spirit because this is biblical and this is what Jesus is saying to us. get it. I'm reading it right off the living word of God right here in front of you. But notice, look at he says he he that believeth that believeth means to have faith and the works, the toil, the deeds, the labor that Jesus did greater, larger, the elder of those works shall we do. And what is that word do? To make, agree, appoint, band together, cast out. because we're still in the flesh while he's gone on to the Holy Spirit. You see how we had to come in agreement there? This is interesting. Okay, we have to come into agreement and we have to walk and choose to walk in this. Now, you may think, well, I can't do any of that. That's exactly what you should be thinking. Not by might nor by power, but by his spirit, says the Lord. So all you're doing is saying, "Okay, Lord, in obedience, I'm going to go lay hands on this person." Now look at what Jonah did because I want you to see Jonah, his calling. Now the word, so this is Jonah chapter 1 1-3. Now the word of the Lord came unto Jonah, the son of Amiti, saying, "Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and cry, call out against it, for your wickedness has come up before me." But Jonah rose up to flee into unto Tarses for the presence of the Lord and went down to Japa and he found a ship going to Tarses. So he paid the fair thereof and went down into it to go with him into Tarses from the presence of the Lord. He was supposed to go to Nineveh and because that's his calling. But he got mad because he felt that Nineveh did not deserve grace. He knew they would repent. See, Jonah knew the moment he spoke, they're going to re receive and believe. And he took off because he was mad. And he told God straight up. See, God understands relationships. He understands your hurt. He wants to hear you tell him these things. Now, in the case of Jonah, he went running and God sent a great fish after him. And he ends up staying in this fish for three days because it took him that long to come to the conclusion that God was in control.

Yeah. And and then he repented. He humbled himself. He went to Nineveh and they got saved and he was all happy about it, but they repented. And I wanted you to see that because he disobeyed his calling.

We have to obey our calling. Where are you? Did you run? Are you the one running? Or are you in a situation where you are praying? You're going to church, but you don't know what to do. This is where you have to purpose yourself to get the knowledge of the living word of God in you, which means you spend time, quality time with the Lord and his word. Amen. Now, I want you to look at Saul. This is a man that was going to become King Saul. Watch what happens here. So in 1st Samuel 9:16, "Tomorrow about this time," so God is talking to Samuel. He says, "Tomorrow about this time, I will send thee a man out of the land of Benjamin, and thou shalt anoint him to be what? Captain, commander." Did he say king? I want you to see some revelation here. This is awesome. Over my people Israel. that he may save free safe entity my people out of the hand of the Philistines for I have looked upon my people because their cry is come unto me. Saul was not called to be king. The people asked for a king and God says to Samuel, I'm going to give them what they want. He gives them a commander to rule over them to help them defeat the Philistines. So he's a captain. He's a commander, but his calling was to save the people out of the hand of the Philistines. That's what his calling was to do. That's all Saul was called to do. And yet, he went a little step further. Now, Samuel prophesies and he tells him everything that's going to go happen. But in the meantime, Samuel took a vial of oil. This is now Samuel 10:1. And poured it on his head, and kissed him, and said, "Is it not because the Lord hath anointed thee to be captain commander over his inheritance?" I want you to see something. You notice he anointed him with oil. If you're called to be an elder of a church or a pastor of a church, they got to anoint you with oil to be able to do that. You can't do it without having the calling and the anointing on you. And there's specific words. And look at the specific words. He's called to be the captain, a commander over Israel, which is the inheritance. They're going to occupy that land. This is their heirloom. This is their possession. This is what's been given to Saul. And by the way, if he defeats the Philistines, his kingdom now will be establish. His captain, his commandership. He's got blessings ahead of him. Oh, but let's look at what happened because this is very important because now Samuel prophesies over Saul and says this is exactly what you're going to do. Verse six of chapter 10, the spirit of the Lord come upon thee and thou shalt prophesy with him and shalt be turned into another man. So Saul is not a spiritual kind of man, but he's going to have an encounter that is spiritual, and it's going to make him think like he's a prophet or a seer himself. So he is going to be turned into another man. He and verse seven, and let it be when these signs are come unto thee that thou do as occasion serve thee, for God is with thee. So see, God gave him his calling. He got anointed. So now God and Saul are joined together to defeat the Philistines. That's what Saul's calling is. When you're called and you're anointed, you and God joined together and you need to do exactly what your calling is. Now watch this. Verse nine. And it was so that when he had turned his back to go from Samuel, God gave him another heart. Look at that word though. It means hinder next and other. And all those things came to pass that day. God already purposed. He knew exactly what Saul was going to do. So now Saul was going to become a hindrance to David. Because see the people wanted Saul and Saul ran ahead from it but pulled him out, anointed him with oil and then simply gave him a captainship, a a commander. They didn't give him kingship and he gave him a new heart. He had a new heart. He now had a covenant with God. But part through there, instead of going after the Philistines and serving God, he decided to put a crown on his head and serve as king to the people because that's what the people wanted. But that word heart meant hindrance. And then comes David, the apple of his eye. Look at Psalm 89:3 and4. I have made a covenant with my chosen. This is God talking. I have sworn unto David my servant. Thy seed will I establish forever and build up thy throne to all generations. You see now, God, he God's the one handling all this. So you're you if you're obedient to your calling, how little or how great it is. If it's just a smile unto people, because there's not everybody's made to be a preacher, not everybody is made to walk in wisdom, knowledge, understanding, but there are tongues, there are gifts of healings, there's gifts of administration, there are all kinds of gifts from the Holy Spirit that you can have a calling on. So don't limit yourself and don't limit God. But look, if Saul had continued obeying God, do you think that his seed would have been the one that was established and Jesus would have came through his seed? See, God chooses you. You're his elect, and he will swear unto you. And look at what David is, though. He's a servant.

You see, to be a king, you need to be a servant. The best commanders, captains, kings, leadership. The best ones are the ones who serve the people. So your calling is servantthood. Be humbled before the Lord as you share the living word of God. As it per person personifies itself, it comes out of you. That is walking with God. Now let's go to Acts 18. Now this is Jesus talking to the 120 or to the disciples. But ye shall receive power after the Holy Ghost has come upon you and ye shall be witnesses upon me unto me both in Jerusalem and in all Judea and in Samaria and unto the uttermost part of the earth. Look at that. You shall receive you're going to take get hold of force a miraculous power when the Holy Ghost comes upon you. superimposes himself on you and you'll be witnesses. Look at that word witness. It means to martyr, record. You see, there's two parts to your calling. It's not just being obedient and going out and doing what you're told to do. You're serving that. You're obedient. You do that. But when you do that, you're doing it to a recipient. And whether that recipient receives or not, you're going to judge that recipient in the future. That's how this works. So let's go take a look at that because this is very important because this is part of your calling. Matthew 12:40 through42 Jesus is talking. For as Jonas was, this is Jonah, but the King James version translates it and said Jonas. For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly or the fish's belly, so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth. The men of Nineveh shall rise in judgment with this generation. And what was Jonah? What did he do? He had to go to the city of Nineveh, preach to them so they would get saved. He ended up doing it because he didn't want to, but they got saved. So what Jesus is saying, that generation that got saved is going to stand up in judgment with this generation that Jesus is currently walking and ministering to and shall condemn it. the folks of Nineveh that got saved in the time of Jonah, they're going to stand up and they're going to condemn this generation. And the reason they get that right to do it because they repented at the preaching of Jonah and behold, a greater than Jonah is here. Do you see the power and the authority of the calling now you have? Because it's twofold. It's not just you being obedient going there. that's in the flesh, but in the spirit, you're going to come back and you're going to judge because this is how this works. This is how God has established it and set it up. Verse 42, the queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with this generation and shall condemn it because why would she do it? For she came from the innermost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon and behold a greater than Solomon is here. See, they went out of their way to believe in God and they didn't even have the Messiah there. But now that the Messiah is there, this generation is rejecting him. But he's he's saying, "Okay, well, you know what? I'm going to the these generations are going to rise up and judge you because they rejected the Messiah." Oh. So even though you're preaching and you're sharing the gospel, you smile. If somebody goes h and just walks away from you, guess what? You're the one who's going to judge them if they go to the afterlife life and never repent. That's your calling. So if you're obedient, you're the one sharing the good news. You're not the one on the other side supposed to be receiving it but rejecting it. There's a lot of people who are rejecting. We have to be very careful and cautious of this because when we're teaching, when we're sharing the spirit of God when we're saying the right words that the Holy Spirit gives us to that person in the grocery store or at the gas station or the laundromat, wherever you're at, I promise you that the Holy Spirit's going to give you those right words. and they're either going to accept or reject. Either you're part of the watering line that goes on on top of a person because people get saved weird ways. It the reaping of the harvest for that individual can happen after 20 different people God sent to them telling them the same thing over and over again. you. Sometimes it takes that kind of thing to happen from God to make that happen to get that person to realize maybe there is a God and he is talking to me. What do I do to get saved? And then the doors open. But this is our calling. This is what we do. Let's go back to John 14:12 because now I want you to see this with all of that knowledge behind you. Verily, verily, I say unto you, he that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also, and greater works than these shall he do, because I go unto my father. So Jesus clearly telling us we're going to be doing greater works than he did, which is healing, casting out demons, and being obedient to what his word is, and confessing Jesus as the son of God, sharing that to all those around us. Amen. Go back to Mark 16:15, our opening scripture. And he said unto them, "Go ye into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature." That's your calling because you are going to judge those people on the aftermath if they choose to reject. Now, if they choose to receive, hallelujah, whether, like I said, you either watered them, nourished them, you're part of that line of people that came and talked to them and they eventually get saved. Whether it's 20 people, 10 people, 50 people, whatever it is, they finally get saved. Woo! Well, then after that, if they choose to reject, you're one of the ones that are come forward in the afterlife and going to judge them because that's just the way things are. So in this obedience that we need to have, the best thing we need to do is be a servant unto that and be obedient to that. So we're going to say a prayer here. I'm going bring it up on the screen. Let's say it together so that we can let the spirit of servantthood come upon our hearts and minds so that we can walk in the obedience that we're called to do. This is called prayer of servantthood the servants covenant and you can find this in the empowering prayer section of the house of faithministries.org website and this is a prayer that's a petition to become a humble servant. This is founded in John 12:26. Whoever serves me must follow me and where I am my servant also will be. My father will honor the one who serves me. So let's pray. Dear Jesus, let's let's do it straight on the screen. Just repeat after me. Father in heaven, I surrender all positions in life to you in order to become Jesus's faithful servant and to follow him. This body is not my own, but it has been purchased with the blood of Jesus. I want to be in your perfect will, Lord Jesus. Let everything that I do bring glory and honor to you, dear Lord. Teach me to be humble. Train me to be your faithful servant. Amen. Of course, if you need to repeat this or you didn't get it all, you can pause the video and go back and say it out loud. You need to say it out loud because what's going on around you is the kingdom of God is there. So, you have the throne room where God is judge. He's righteous and he's up there. And then you have D uh the devil over here accusing you of whatever it is that you've done. You have Jesus standing next to you because you repented and you said, "Okay, Lord, I'm going to be obedient. I call on the name of the Jes the son of God, Jesus, and I repent and I ask him to be my Lord and Savior." So Jesus now is covering you. So here's the devil accusing you of whatever it is. And you repented. And so Jesus is saying to God, I accept hers or his repentance and those things are no longer active. So God's up there in the throne room looking at what you did. He crosses it out with the blood of Jesus says, "Yep, you're clean, saved, and whole." And the devil is frustrated because he can't do anything. And now you get to move forward like Jesus under his obedience. And every time you move forward, you do it in prayer. It starts in the secret place with the Lord. When you're in the secret place with the Lord, you are praying behind the scenes for those folks at your grocery store, for your neighbors, for your government, for your teachers and the education system, for the entertainment system, for your life, for your family and friends. And what you're doing is you say, "Lord, I atone for them. I stand in their shoes and I lift up my hands with them and I say on their behalf, Lord, forgive me. Be my Lord and Savior. Come into my heart and forgive me and help me walk in the living word of God." You see, when you are praying on their behalf, the strong angels now move forward to those people. They start fighting the demons off and the demons are saying no no no no no I have a contract here and see the first thing you do is because you say Lord forgive me of my sins the contract becomes nullified and so they have the demons have to let go in fact you could even go further and say demons get below my feet I bind you with feathers of iron preventing you from interfering in my family's life my workplace co-workers my neighborhood You say all of that. You bind that devil. You put him below your feet. And you can go one step further and say, "Lord, rebuke you." And here's the best part because you get to execute judgment. And like Psalm 149 said, I've already taught on this. You get to tell you because you're starting with forgiveness. You're actually asking God to open their ears and eyes, hearts and minds to he to see, hear, and and receive and believe the living word of God. because you're asking them to do that. There's forgiveness there. So, you're asking God, give them the opportunity to receive repentance because God will give them that opportunity. But I promise you, there are going to be some that are still rebelling, rejecting, and blasphemy the Holy Spirit because you're dealing with people that the devil has gotten into so bad. They're stuck there. And whether they're going to stay there or not, that's between God and them. But what you get to do is you give them that opportunity and then you go to the Lord and said Lord if they continue to reject you then Lord rebuke them and God will take care of them. This is why we have the consequences of sin which is uh cancer diseases people dying before their time should be. You see, these are the things that unbelievers or people rejecting God blatantly and rejecting the Holy Spirit, those are the things they have to deal with until they repent. And then your life turns around remarkably. You won't have those curses upon you because that's the way God works. I encourage each and every one of you to get into the secret place with the Lord and one, open the Bible and read what God is telling you. to pray. You have a calling. Every believer has a calling of prayer in their lives. God may take you further up to your calling, but I promise you, you need to be obedient to the heavenly father and the calling he has in your life because he needs you in place in lie of Jesus who had to go home in spirit. We're the ones still in the flesh and we're the ones that need to serve in the name of Jesus. Hallelujah. Let's close in a word of prayer. Father God, we thank you for your word.
