YOU ARE A CHILD OF GOD

Minister Lisa Kane

November 24, 2024

In this message, Lisa Kane draws from Romans 8:15–17, Galatians 3:25–27, and 1 John 3–5 to explain the powerful truth of spiritual adoption. Believers have not received a spirit of bondage but the Spirit of adoption, testifying that they are God’s children. Through this relationship, Christians are heirs with Christ, sharing in His glory and authority.

The teaching explains how deliverance works as the Holy Spirit—described as a “current of air”—fills believers, replacing spirits of fear, anger, bitterness, and hatred. By recognizing their sonship and walking in partnership with the Spirit, Christians are transformed from within, strengthened to live victoriously, and empowered to cast out demons, heal the sick, and proclaim freedom.

Water baptism, faith, and obedience are presented as key markers of this identity, not as empty rituals but as evidence of the Spirit’s anointing. Lisa highlights that being a child of God means walking in faith, loving one another as a moral and spiritual obligation, and demonstrating God’s power and authority in daily life. She also shares personal testimony of healing and deliverance through the anointing of the Holy Spirit as proof of this truth in action.

Ultimately, this message encourages believers to rise above oppression, embrace their authority in Christ, and live as God’s royal priesthood. By faith, they overcome the world, because greater is He who is in them than he who is in the world.

Objective:

The objective of this teaching is to affirm believers in their identity as children of God through Christ Jesus. It seeks to build faith by showing that believers are not bound by fear or slavery but adopted as heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ. The teaching emphasizes deliverance, the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, and the authority given to every child of God to overcome sin, sickness, and oppression.

Inspired Teaching - Written and/or Transcribed from Video Above:

Hello and welcome to the House of Faith Ministries. I'm Lisa Kaine and I'm recording this teaching on Sunday, November 24th, 2024. Welcome. Let's open up in a word of prayer. Father God, we thank you for your word. We thank you for your anointing. We thank you for your blessings and your favor upon us. For you are mighty and glorious. You are my God, my King, my Lord and my Savior. I belong to you and you belong to me. Thank you Lord. Let your word not return void and let the listeners remember who they are in you and that they are more than conquerors. Thank you Lord in the name of Jesus. Amen. Amen. Well, welcome. I'm so glad you can join me today as I teach this teaching. Guess what this is called? You are a child of God. This is going to be a great teaching. Let's go to our opening uh scripture here in Romans 8:15. For ye have not received the spirit of bondage or slavery again to fear, which is alarm, fright, terror. But ye have received the spirit of adoption, the placing as the son, whereby we cry, "Aba, Father." Oh, how precious, how precious it is to be called a child of God. And we have that Ah, let's go to scripture because I really want to get this teaching across to you because I want to build your faith and I want to show you how you can be more than a conqueror. Amen. Amen. We're still in Romans and we're going to look at verses 16 and 17. the spirit which by the way when you get this teaching may take a little bit of time but when you get it you are going to feel a deliverance and it is going to cleanse you and it is just incredible you're going to be a little on the weepy side which is what I am today but this is because my spirit and my mind recognizes who I am to be called a child of

So what happens though with deliverance is that there is a current of air or a spirit that infuses us. It comes through through us. The Holy Spirit anoints us. And that is what you're going to be seeing in this teaching. So look at what he says here. The spirit which the and the best description they can give for this by the way is a current of air. That's just what it's called. And when you go through deliverance, if you've ever seen a person get exercised and not Hollywood style, but in a real deliverance min uh ministry or anything like this, you're going to recognize that um releasing of air is part of the deliverance. So you can have a stronghold, a spirit of fear, let's say, and that spirit is in you. And when it gets cast out, whether by yourself or by a team of people, and they're casting out anger, bitter, hate, you're going to start coughing, sneezing, that's a current of air leaving your body. Well, we're given the Holy Spirit, which is a current of air that comes in to us. And that's what Paul is talking about here. He says, "The spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit." You see the inside with the Holy Spirit are partnering up together. And you can see you can do this with anger or hatred. But you can also do this with the Holy Spirit. And see by letting go of the fear, the anger, the hatred, the enviousness, the jealousy, bitterness, hate, you let all that go. You need to partner up with the spirit of God, the Holy Spirit. And this is where when you recognize that you're a child of God, the dominating spirit within your soul and body becomes the Holy Spirit and he transforms you on the inside. So Paul is clearly talking about this here in Romans. The spirit himself beareth witness with our spirit that we are children of God. He's going to describe here in just a moment uh other ways to to describe. But you will know you are a child of God simply because your spirit is partnering up with the Holy Spirit. You're going to feel the anointing. I I feel it as I I sit here and when I start to pray, I know he's right there and I know that I'm more than a conqueror with him in that spirit. You're going to see that here in the scripture. And I hope that with this knowledge you get it and that you grab on to it and you don't let go. Amen. That we are children of God. Verse 17. And if children then hes of God and joint hes together with Christ. If so be that we suffer with him that we may also that we may be also glorified together. Here is an interesting point. You see all the disciples, the apostles, they became martyrs in their time. Even Paul who wasn't a disciple became a martyr for Christ. And he's saying if we suffer, we glorify together. Jesus is glorified while the apostles, the disciples are glorified because they had the spirit in them and their spirit testified to that. testified to the world, allowed them to write scripture. Peter wrote first Peter and second Peter. Paul wrote most of the New Testament. The Holy Spirit work through the gospel writers, Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. Acts written by Luke. I It's incredible to see what the Holy Spirit did in them and caused them to do that. Jesus said, and I taught this a little bit in my last teaching, that we would do greater things than him because he had to go to the father in a way. He was kind of teasing us like, "Yeah, you know, you didn't beat me because I gave up and didn't do better. I just had to go deal with my father because he called me to go deal with him. So, you can beat me now." It's kind of like a a camaraderie um happiness between you as you compete with one another in a way. In other words, you know, when you see Paul cast out a demon or you see Peter just look look at me and they rise up from the dead. The faith that they had, it's because they knew the spirit within them. They knew they were joint hes. And think about being an heir with Christ. We're royalty, a peculiar people, a royal priesthood. I don't even bring that scripture into this teaching, but that is what we are. And let's pause and think about that for just a moment. I'd like for you to think about what royalty is like. Imagine having access to the king at all times. Even when he's in a meeting uh with other angels or doing this or that, he is father god. He's king. Yes. But he stops for his children to listen. What is it that you need? What is it that you want? I got this. Okay, we got it together. and to stand side by side with Jesus in that holy courtroom as royalty

and to have whatever Christ had. Christ walked in water, walked on the water. Christ healed the sick. Christ is going to put an end to sin. He's doing all this and he says, "I redeemed you. I gave you my blood cuz my father told me, but I was obedient and I wanted to and I do it for the joy of setting you free and having you free. This is his his love for us and we're a part of that. We are a joint air. We can cast out demons. We can heal the sick. We can be set apart from this world and know better with him. Know the betterness of him. Oh, let's go to Galatians. Let's continue on. I want to show you more of this. Galatians chapter 3:25-27. But after that faith has come, we are no longer under a school master. Let's stop and think about this for a minute. After that faith has come, when you become a believer in Christ, you actually take a step of faith. When you confess Jesus is Lord, this is Romans 10:9. When you confess Jesus is Lord with your mouth and believe that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved, delivered, healed, preserved. That word means a whole bunch of different words there. So imagine having that faith. You finally get it. You realize that you are a child of God. You have this authority. Look at what else he says. For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. Now, I want you to see what that word faith there means. It means persuasion, credence, moral conviction. You see what happens is suddenly you're aware because the spirit within you who is partnering up with the Holy Spirit, you suddenly realize, hey, there's something more. And you're just so blessed by it. And you're you it transforms the way you think because you're a child of God. you get to go up to the courtroom and sometimes it's very hard for Christians to accept this, you know, because Jesus is so worthy. It's almost as if Jesus is way up there and he's not here within me. But the Holy Spirit, God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Spirit, three persons in one. The Holy Spirit is in us and they work in tandem. That means he's convicting us. We are feeling that conviction. We're aware of his presence, which means we should be acknowledging we're a child of God and we are able to walk into that kingdom that he has for us. Let's continue on. Verse 27. For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. Look at this. Baptized means to be fully wet. You'll see in the Catholic church they put little drops on the forehead. Well, fully wet means submersion. So, if you go to pretty much any denomination out there that is calling itself Christian other than Catholicism, you will find that water baptism is a fully submersible um event that happens in a believer's life. Now, some churches believe you need to have that to get saved. I think that's incorrect teaching because if you go look at Luke and you see the thief on the cross got Jesus told the thief today you will be with me in paradise. That thief never got off and never got water baptized. So he got saved though. So you all it takes is confession of Jesus and you're just calling out on Jesus whom you can't see. You're just calling out on him and and you become a child of God just from that. You see, I believe when you go get water baptized and you come up, you go into ministry right after that because now you've got the anointing of the Holy Spirit on you, which he's talking about the anointing in the scripture. For as many of you has been baptized fully what? Into Christ, which is the anointed where Christ means anointed have put on Christ anointing, the anointing of Christ. You go into the ministry. In fact, as soon as Jesus had been baptized, he came up. He went into the wilderness for 40 days and 40 nights fasted and dealt with the temptation of Satan overcame him and won. And after that, his min ministry was a breeze. So as soon as you come up from water baptism, you kind of go under this attack of the devil. You overcome him because the Holy Spirit will not let you lose. Amen. And it it becomes an ongoing thing where your Holy Spirit just gets stronger and stronger and stronger and you go into ministry and you start teaching people under the gifts of the Holy Spirit. You start manifesting the fruit of the Holy Spirit. I mean your life transforms and you are a joint heir with Christ because your spirit is testifying with the Holy Spirit and the two of you are now working in tandem as joint airs. Meaning you have the right to the authority of the name of Jesus and everything about Jesus. Romans 10:9 again says that if you confess with your mouth Jesus is Lord. Lord over what? Lord over my life, Lord over my head if I have headaches, Lord over my sinuses, Lord over my spirit, Lord over my body, he's Lord. So the moment you start to feel like a a little cold coming on, this is where you can say, "No, no, no. Jesus is Lord over that. Jesus is Lord over cancer. Jesus is Lord over my finances. And because you're a son of God, you are a child of God. You have the right to the faith of healing. You have the right to deliverance. You have that right. And you get to walk right up to the throne where God the Father is, Jesus the Son, the Holy Spirit is encouraging you. He's convicting you. He's right there with you. And the four of you are working in you to in your mind, bringing your faith up so that you are walking in ministry, healing, and saving others because we need to save people, which is what Jesus was all about. That's why he went to the cross with joy. By the way, he went to the cross with joy. And as he was up there, he was thinking of you and I. He redeemed us knowing full well it was going to hurt. He suffered it, but he did it so that we didn't have to go through that suffering because we already fell. We're already suffering as it is. But he rose from the grave and he's life. Death can't hold him, which means sickness and diseases can't hold you. You are a child of God and you get to go walking around free and clear and liberated, no longer a slave. Oh, I hope you guys are getting this. 1 John 3:10. In this, the children of God are manifest or shining apparent. And I want you to see something. You can tell the difference from a child of God and a child of the devil. Look at this. This is very important. Why I brought the scripture here. And the children of the devil. Whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth, not his brother. That word love there is social moral obligation type of a sense. In other words, a mom has her first born and she has her child. She's obligated to take care of that child. That's what that word love there means. You're obligated as a child of God, as somebody who's called on Christ to demonstrate his power and his authority. the faith in you is the demonstration because we're already seeing plenty of demon um uh the devil and demonstration on their side of unrighteousness which isn't of God. They're not loving. They're not helping. They're not doing any of that kind of stuff. No. And but here we're different. We're a child of God. We're a peculiar people and we have the right to demonstrate his love to those around and to share those words of encouragement that the body of Christ and these are there are believers. They are so down. They're so oppressed that it's like the devil is rubbing their face in the dirt of the ground and they haven't figured it out yet. They just need to stand up and put the devil on the ground and stomp him down. That's the right that we have as a child of God. I hope you guys are getting this. 1 John 4:4, "Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome. You've subdued. You conquer them because greater is he that is in you than he that is in the world." You've got God on your side. And the moment you decide you're going to spend more time with God, which means more time with the Holy Spirit, you're going to read the scripture more or even make a commitment of reading his scripture every day and sometimes two or three times a day or make a commitment where you're going to put around 15 to 30 minutes out to the side every day for you and God just to have some quality time together. you know, last week, I think it was, as I'm over here in my room and I I was just weeping. I mean, weeping that Yeah. It wasn't this last Thursday. It was the Thursday before and I was just thinking of the people and I was praying with God and the anointing was so strong that my sinuses all got cleared out and have been cleared since. I've always had to spray sinus spray and I've been healed of that. I haven't had to spray my nose now for a week and a half. That is incredible. I mean, just feeling the anointing of the Holy Spirit and God healed me in that moment. Why? Because I put him first. I trusted him. I had faith in him. We are the House of Faith Ministries. And it is hard to have faith. It's hard to trust people, let alone someone you can't see. But that's the power and the authority that we have as believers in Christ. We need to get up off of going to church, being spoonfed the scripture, and uh just Yeah, God has Yeah, there's faith. I heard a teaching last Sunday teaching

faith. Hebrews 11, the the faith chapter is such a mighty chapter. you. I I would never have thought that a teaching on that chapter could ever go as slow and inhibited as I had heard it that way taught that day. And I I prayed. I said, "Lord, what's going on here? This person who taught on faith had no faith."

And now I'm praying because I'm hoping that the Lord shakes us up and shows us that faith. But not just show us, but that it connects. It clicks somewhere in the brain. So that faith turns on and we're walking in that power. Because to not realize or not have it or not understand it, you know, that's we have to ask God to help us understand what he's doing, where he's going. You know, after that uh January 6 event, I remember going to the Lord going, you know, I wasn't involved with that, but I was very hesitant and wondering is Trump going to win? I you know I after he had lost you know just the way the church was pushing in that area so deeply I came away from that and I separated myself from that at that point I said no Lord I'm here for you not for the church and I I want to serve the church I want to help the church but I we got to be on the right track with your word and after that my life has changed drastically because I purposed in my heart in my mind that I would put him first, understand the scriptures, teach it the way he wants to, and not by uh you know, if if someone had asked me to teach on faith and I didn't understand it, I would back off and say, "No, no, I can't teach it because I don't understand it." That's what you're supposed to do. It's better to not mislead anybody, but to demonstrate what you're teaching. And I'm hoping as a House of Faith Ministries that we're walking in faith and knowing and demonstrating that. And I'm hoping that you catch the fire of the anointing in here that goes down into here and comes right out and just goes all over everybody. So, what am I hoping for? Because I want to teach you how much faith that you have by being a child of God. If Jesus can heal, if Jesus can deliver, if Jesus can make the blind see, if he can help us hear, how much more can we do of that as well? Because he said you would do greater things than I only because he had to go to the father. I love the way that scripture is worded. Let's continue on. I want you to catch this. We're in 1 John 5 1-5. Whosoever believeth and you know, let's pause there. That's where it starts. The word believe is means to have faith. That's where it starts. Do you have enough faith to say, "All right, Jesus. I believe you're real and I'm going to need some help." And and that's all it takes. Start that. You plant the seed and let the Holy Spirit start talking to you. Which means you have to open the Bible, which means you need to read it and you need to be praying. It's a two-way communication, but it starts there. Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God. Meaning God procreated the man Jesus. And he did. You see, the son of God has always been there with him. And the son of God is who did creation. Go to first John, excuse me, John 1:1. In the beginning was the word and the word was God. And the word was with God. He was always there in the beginning. But that word became flesh. Jesus, God procreated him and and made him Jesus. He died and then he rose from the grave and got a new body. He's not that spirit anymore. He's in the body in the flesh, a whole new flesh that we're all going to get new bodies afterwards. But he when he said life, he just popped right out of the grave. And we have the right to that life. We have the right to be standing on that throne room with Jesus and with God the Father. And we have the right to say, "I'm a joint heir. And I have this authority, which means I'm going to come right back out of the grave. And because I already believe in my flesh, it already has begun. I death is not going to affect me like it would anyone else. absent from the body, present with the Lord. I love what Paul says. Oh death, oh death, where is your stink? That's what happens to those of us who grab a hold of that faith and believe that Jesus is the son of God and that we're joint hes with him and that as a child we have the same authority, life, we have life and we're not going to be held back. So when death, sickness, diseases, and all that try to encompass us, try to oppress us, try to push us down, try to tell us lies, we get to look at and say, "No way. I have the name of Jesus. He is my Lord. He's my savior. You sickness, cancer, disease, you get lost in the name of Jesus because I have life. It will not touch me because of the faith of what I have and what I believe and who I believe as a child of God. Oh, hallelujah.

Born of God. And everyone that loveth him that begat loveth him also that is begotten of him. You see, we're of him. And see, when we love him, we love him out of a social moral obligation. Because I'm going to tell you right now, when you can't see God, how can you love something you can't see? But you have to take the faith and pray and talk to him because then what happens afterwards is that you start to see him move in your life. And next thing you know, you're having full conversations with him because you're walking in faith because you've seen him move so much in your life. and you just know that you're a child of God. How much love he has for me. And it becomes empathic at that point. But when it first starts, it's an obligation. All right, Lord. I'm going to keep your commandments. I I don't want to sin. I don't want to be like that anymore. I'm repenting. I'm going to turn my life around. I'm gonna choose to live for you. And I I'm gonna declare I'm a child of God. I may not understand it, but I'm asking you to help me understand that, Lord. You see, that's the baby steps that you need to take to get to this point. And I'm going to tell you, I'm not even there yet. Yet, I'm so excited. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Look at this. By this, we know, and that word is absolutely know that we love the children of God when we love God and keep his commandments. Because now it comes to well now we got to love all of God's children. If we're all children of God, we got to love one another. What's what's interesting about that is we don't want to. But there's a point when you actually press in and you find out more about God, you realize that God loves them just as much as he loves me. And all of a sudden it it it changes you. And I am begging you to let the Holy Spirit change you and transform you. Verse three, for this is the love of God that we keep his commandments. Look at this word commandments. It means authoritative prescription. So we're talking about healing, deliverance from the inside out. You see, when you love them just as much as God loves them, the other people of the world, not just ourselves. When you love them, you keep his commandments. Because what is his commandments? To love him with all of your heart to love them, your neighbor, just as much as you love yourself. And when that happens, you are walking in authoritative prescription because you're a joint heir. You're a child of God. That means your authority is your prescription that keeps you from all sicknesses and diseases. Oh, I hope you get this. I hope you get this. And his commandments are not grievous. For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world. And this is the victory that overcomemeth the world, even our faith. Who is he that overcomemeth the world? He that believeth that Jesus is the son of God. That my friend is basic scripture doctrine of how to realize you're a child of God and how not to ever be sick, downtrodden, oppressed, possessed. Oh, you see this is where it starts right in here. You start thinking, you know what? I'm a child of God.

And it clicks and all of a sudden your faith goes from way down here and it starts to go way up here. That, my friend, is walking in faith. That is walking in the realization of who you are and the authority that you have. There are things you're going to do that are going to be magnificent, worthy, holy, worthy to be written in the Bible if the go if God wanted to continue writing the Bible.

I hope you catch this and I hope that you realize that you are a child of God. Amen. Let's close in a word of prayer. Father God, we thank you for your word and we bless your word. We pray that your word does not return void. And we thank you that your word that the enemy does not come in and discourage us or make us forget this word. Lord, let us retain and walk in this word with you and know that you are God and we're your child and that we have the authority in the name of Jesus and that we have the faith to believe that you are our healer in the name of Jesus. That you are our deliverer, our provider. And with you, Father God, all things are possible. Hallelujah. In the name of Jesus, we pray. Amen. Amen. Amen. God bless you and I'll see you in the next Actually, uh, next week is Thanksgiving. I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving. We're going to take the week off. Have a blessed week in God's name. Bye-bye.
