Hello and welcome to the House of Faith Ministries. I'm Lisa Kaine and I'm recording this on Saturday, September 4th, 2022. And this message is called Atonement. Let's open up in a word of prayer. Father God, we bless this message. We thank you for your blessing on it. Let it nourish our spirits and our minds. Let it feed us. Let us receive, believe, apply, and walk in your word, Father God. and let us hear and live this revelation, Father God, in the glorious, wonderful name of Jesus, we pray. Amen. Amen. Amen. Let's go to our opening scripture. Here we are going to be looking at Proverbs. Proverbs 16:6. Now, I want you to see that I have the same scripture here written twice. One from the New King James Version and one from the King James version. So, the New King James Version says it like this. In mercy and truth, atonement is provided for iniquity, and by the fear of the Lord, one departs from evil. And then the King James version says, by mercy and truth, iniquity is purged, and by the fear of the Lord, men depart from evil. All right. So, let's get a basic understanding of atonement here because when you think of that word, it's like, do you really understand what it means? So atonement is is paying for the sins. It it is a covering against the sins. Let's look at the definition of it here in the Strongs dictionary in the Hebrew. It it's number H3722. It's kafar is how you say it or close to that. Don't take my word for that saying. But it's a primitive root and it means to cover. And look at this specifically with bitamin. And we're going to get to bitamin in just a minute. And then of course figuratively to expedate or condone, to plate or cancel, appease, make atonement, cleanse, disinol, forgive, be merciful, pacify, pardon. Look at this word to pitch. We're going to get to that in a moment. And purge, which is what we saw in the King James version, away, put off, and make reconciliation. So now you're kind of getting an understanding here. So, you know, when you look at what Jesus did and he redeemed us, he made atonement for us because he covered us for those who choose to believe in him. And that is how this goes. But now I want you to see and understand something here. Jesus, his first coming came to fulfill the word as a priest. Didn't come as a king, which kind of offput the the Israelites. They did not like that. They were expecting a king. Well, he's going to come back as a king in his second coming, but his first coming was as a priest. He needed to deal with sin and that's exactly what he did. So now, if Jesus Christ did that and yet you read everything in the New Testament kind of tells you to be Christlike, does this mean we have to be a priest before we can be a king or a queen? Well, yeah. And if we're going to rule after the thousand-year millennium or in that time period that Revelation talks about, again, you can go check out those scriptures yourself, then that means we have to fulfill our priestly duties just like Christ did. This is where the the power of atonement comes in. And and you guys are going to get this. This is an awesome revelation. I want you to see this. So let's take a look at the foundation of the scriptures of why we need to be priestly here. 1 Peter 2:5, you also as living stones are being built up a spiritual house, a holy priesthood to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. Okay. So let's define your spiritual house. What is your responsibility? So if you're the one male, female, doesn't matter. There were priestesses and priests, okay? and they were in the Israelites. So this is this is not just designated for male or female. But if you're the one spending time with God and which we all should be doing, but not all does, but if you are doing that, you have a responsibility to those around you, your area. You see, Jesus came back as a priest for the entire world. We don't have to do it for the entire world. We just need to do it for what we're responsible for, which is in my case, it's my household. It is my workplace. Oh, we're gonna get into some very sensitive stuff here because how many of us are not crazy about our bosses. Anyways, so you kind of get this idea of what your responsibility is as a priest now, which means we've got to change something on the inside. So, there's atonement that's going to take place here, and you're going to see how this works and applies. Very powerful. I love this message. This a good message. Hebrews 5, we're going to read verses 1-4. For every high priest taken from among men is appointed for men in things pertaining to God, that he may offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins. Again, this all has to do with sin. We have all fallen short of the glory of God. We have all sinned. And that includes us who need to be priestly, which included Aaron who became priests, who was called by God. And by the way, we're called by God. anyone who's coming into this, God is calling us to be that priestly individual to take up our responsibility for our area. So, let's continue on here. Verse two, he can have compassion on those who are ignorant and going astray. That's the priest. You see, if you're seeing someone living in sin, co-orker, family member, whomever, you have the responsibility to what? have compassion on them because they're ignorant. They don't know they haven't come into the glory of God like we have. So that is a responsibility. Look at this. Since he himself is also subject to weakness, we are subject even priestly. So Aaron had to do it too. Look at let's continue on with the scriptures. Because of this he is required as uh as for the people. so also for himself to offer sacrifices for sins. And no man takes his honor to himself, but he was called by God just as Aaron was. So it's an exact replica of what Aaron was like taking on that priestly responsibility. Now, this is going to get very interesting. So let's continue on. Let's look at some more scripture here. Exodus 29:1A. And again, we're dealing with Aaron and what he's called to do. pieces and this is what you shall do to them to hollow them for ministering to me as priests. Now, I am not going to go into every detail of a priest and what a priest does. We're just going to be talking about atonement today. You are more than welcome to go read those scriptures and learn more of what the priestly duties are. So, I stopped here the first half of verse one there. Now, let's continue on with the next set of scriptures because now we're going to continue where the atonement is in verse 7. Look at this. Hebrew or excuse me, Exodus 29:7. and you shall take the anointing oil, pour it on his head, and anoint him. Okay, now that I've laid some foundational scriptures, I want you to see something. So, what a priest does is he makes atonement for those who are ignorant. But he also declares another priest. Now, let's talk about the anointing oil and what this does because remember what the definition is. And you know what? It's worth going back and looking at that screenshot that that screen of the definition because I think once you see this you it's going to blow your mind away. So a primitive roof to cover specifically with bitamin. Okay. Oil crude oil you know and there is a huge attack on the industry right now about climate change and using dirty oil. By the way if oil works and oil is powerful it works. There are dirty jobs out there. So you know it works. um why, you know, they're against oil is just beyond me. And and of course they think, well, you know, there's not going to be enough fossil fuels to last for a century. Well, and that is in regards to Yeah, but if you read the scriptures, the scriptures tell us that this world's coming to an end. We don't need it to last forever. And so, you have to understand that. Okay. But anyways, crude oil has a process to it. So, you have oil in itself, but it really I mean, it's there. It's crude. That's oil. But if you refine oil, you get two parts. Now there's that number two. Two always means choice or direction. Spiritual meaning you can go the spiritual direction or you can go the physical direction. If you have any dreams that have to deal with the number two or two paths, two bridges to anything. It is always a choice that you have to make and it can be spiritual or physical. That's what the number two means. So oil splits into two parts. Now you have the part where it becomes gasoline. And the more you refine it, by the way, the more powerful gasoline becomes. And what is gasoline? It's fuel for your car. Well, in the spiritual, it's fuel for your power and authority. It goes poof. It is the air. It is the numa. It is your power and authority that goes forth because the anointing oil got poured on you. And what happens when you get refined by God? You go through that pressure. You go through the stress. You sweat it out. You're having a hard time. It's refining and it's doing two things. It's giving you the power and the authority because you're learning mentally, spiritually what the power of God is. But then it makes a second part called the bitamin. The bitamin is the part that is the viscous, the pitch. Kind of like Noah's arc. You had to put the pitch in there. You had to put the pitch in anything. What does pitch do? It's a covering and it makes it waterproof. Oh, this is getting really good. I want you to see now when the enemy tries to attack you, the rain, the the the thunderstorms, the the season of torment, it comes to attack, but it washes right off of you because you got the covering of the anointing oil on you with your power and authority that you can move forward and whatever the enemy does, it just slicks right off of you because you got the viscus over you, the pitch, the tar, whatever it may be. You can't see it in the spirit, but you know it's there because the enemy can't stick his arrows in you. They can't stick. Oh, do you see this? Do you see what the power and the authority you have? And this is as a priest. Oh, this this is very, very, very powerful stuff. I want you to see this. I really want you guys to get this. So, now let's take a look at what this priest does. Leviticus 16:32. And the priest who is anointed and consecrated to minister as priest in his father's place shall make atonement. Put on the linen clothes, the holy garments. Again, you can go read the rest of the scriptures of how, you know, to get here to even preach this message. You know, as a priest, priestess, I come in, I cleanse myself, I take my shower, wash my face, do up my hair, I cling my my table here. I get everything prepared and ready because I need to be clean when I come into the presence of the Lord to teach the word of God to make atonement. I am trying to teach you how to repent and come out of your sins by sharing the word of God. Now look at this in the spiritual sense. Okay? So, if you're responsible for your household and you're responsible for your co-workers and anyone around in your area, whatever you have taken on that responsibility for, if you go out preaching on the street corners, you've got that street corner, that is your responsibility. These are your areas. What you do is you need to make atonement. Well, how do you do that? Okay, so atonement is where you intercede. Now, when a priest would go into, this is prior to Christ's coming, he would go into the Holy of Holies, he would have a string tied around his foot because if he didn't come in right, the Lord took his life instantly and they'd pull his body out. This is how serious this is. So, be very serious. So, you got to have the right heart. So, first you need to humble yourself. So, uh, if you read 1 Corinthians 13 talks about doing everything with love. If you've got a hatred toward anybody that you're responsible for, you need to take care of that. And and you know what? Just simply start saying the words and say, "Lord, I need help. I hate this person, but I want to love them." And then start saying, "I love you. I love you. I love you." And what happens is you get that humility going into your heart and your mind and you start to change on the inside because you're allowing the Holy Spirit to change you. So now when you're facing a situation in work where you question people and their motives and what they're doing, they may have equal uh evil, wicked plots against you. Remember, we don't fight against flesh and blood, but we fight against principalities, powers of the air, and evil evil, wicked plots, okay? We get to fight against that. We don't know it sometimes, but we see things. They're telltale signs. But instead of bringing those telltale signs to service by talking about it, gossiping about it, or what is so and so up to? He's just an idiot. You see, when you start saying things that you're cursing the situation and you're making it worse for yourself. Instead, come into the presence of the Lord in your secret place and make atonement for their ignorance and the sin that they're committing that they don't even know. Because hell is not for everybody. Hell is for the devil. But even if you hate that person and you wish them hell sometimes, you've got to realize that's not for them and it is your responsibility to atone for them. So, but he did you go into the presence of the Lord and you said, "Lord, I'm coming in as my priestly duty and I'm asking you to forgive them of their sins and I forgive them of their sins as well. I know I have the anointing oil on me. I know that I have the power and the authority to say that because I'm called by you and I have my priestly responsibilities to do this. And not only am I called, I know I'm covered by the vitamin process that is there, the viscous. And that means there those enemies that are doing that cannot stick doing what they're doing. And I know Lord and I speak and I ask for divine intervention and I ask that you come in and help them come out of their ignorance. Now do you see the difference here now? Instead of cursing them, you're blessing the situation. And what does that do to you? That comes back to you, me, and it changes the situation. I had done this. I can't remember it was last Monday night or last Tuesday night when I got this revelation and the next day was just an unbelievable day. You know, I can't go into the details because I don't want to name names and all the circumstances and situation, but I can say that I saw God move and I was like, "Wow, Lord." So, this this works. This is a powerful thing. So, let's continue on here. Hebrews uh 9:11. But Christ came as high priest of the good things to come with the greater and more perfect tabernacle not made with hands that is not of this creation. Again, it comes down to what would Jesus do? Jesus did it first. He went to the cross and died on the cross for our sins. Even for those who didn't know him and were continuing to hate and curse him. Even those that are standing there, you know, sounding like dogs going off if you read Psalm. And you you'll see that Christ did it anyways. You see that humility? And this is what a priest does. It It's challenging, but this is something that you need to do. Let's continue on to verse 26 here in Hebrews 29 or Hebrews 9. He then would have had to suffer often since the foundation of the world, but now once at the end of the ages, he has appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself. It's a sacrifice. You're sacrificing your hatred. And notice what Paul is talking about here. He's talking about how many times Jesus had to go to the cross once. He didn't have to go multiple times. Whereas Levitic Aaron and the old days every year had to have the day of atonement. They had to do this for the nation of Israel. Once a year you had to bring in a bull and sacrifice the bull. Well, here now Jesus did it once. He did it and it tore the veil. So now there's no holy of holies where a priest goes into anymore. So now as a spiritual matter and as a Christlike person who spends time with God taking up your priestly responsibilities what do you do you sacrifice your hatred your curses your gossip and you say Lord I'm blessing this and I'm speaking atonement speaking on behalf of them because they're ignorant and they're walking in sin and they don't even know and I'm asking you for divine intervention and I'm telling you the Lord moves and it takes faith. It takes faith but that sacrifice is what gets things started. Now let's look at the verse 27 and 28 of uh Hebrews 9. And as it is appointed for men to die once, but after this the judgment. So Christ was offered once to bear the sins of many to those who eagerly wait for him. He will appear a second time apart from sin for salvation. Now notice he's coming a second time apart from sin. He's coming a second time to be king. So you see the difference here. So right now in this moment because he has not come back a second time. We need to take up our priestly duties and make our sacrifice. Now they did it once a year. The Israelites I say do it every day if you can. You know it we're doing dealing with spiritual matters and the enemy is getting more and more vicious right now. Especially as we're in this end times. Christ is coming back and he's going to be the king which means we will move into our royal duties with him in the heavenly but here for now we have our priestly duties and our priestly responsibilities to those to those ignorant in sin. So what does that mean? Look at first John 2:28. And now little children abide in him that when he appears we may have confidence and not be ashamed before him at his coming. You take up your responsibility. You've got the confidence to say, "I know my Christ, my king is coming. I know that because I'm dealing with spiritual matter in the priestly things right now." Amen. Amen. Look at this. 1 Corinthians 3:11-15. For no other foundation can anyone lay than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ. And keep in mind, all of this is founded on what Jesus has done. This is what Jesus did to deal with the fall of man. Remember, first Adam sinned. Man fell. Now Jesus came and redeemed. If Adam didn't exist, none of this would mean anything. But I'm promising you this. Adam and Eve were real. Read the book of Genesis. You You know what? That will tell you why things happen. why they they got said, you know, the devil was sitting there in the garden of Eden and it tells you about that in Ezekiel and he's watching God and Adam bond and God is interacting with Adam and he's in love with Adam. Th this tells you how much he loves us because it also shows what he did. He sent his son for us because of his love for us. And uh there there they are just bonding and the Lucifer is getting angrier and angrier and more bitter because he's like I'm the one who's made of perfection. You should be spending time with me, not that weak looking creature. And in fact, in his mind's like, you know what, God, you left. I'm going to go deceive these people. And he did. He was successful at that. And so man fell. But God didn't give up on us. And he didn't give us give up on us when the flood happened. and he still let eight survivors uh get through so that we could be here today. I know that you see a an evil world. It is full of darkness and you want to hate. I'm right there with you. But God says, "Listen, take up your priestly duties. Sacrifice your hatred. Sacrifice your gossip. Sacrifice it and let me deal with it spiritually." Oh, let's continue on with 1 Corinthians 53 here, verses 11-15. Verse 12. Now, if anyone builds on this foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw. Each one's work will become clear, for the day will declare it, because it will be revealed by fire. And the fire will test each one's work of what sort it is. If anyone's work which he has built on it endures, he will receive a reward. If anyone's work is burned, he will suffer loss, but he himself will be saved yet. So is through fire. We are building up our royalty in the afterlife. This is why once you die and you've not accepted Christ into your heart, it's too late. You've lost your opportunity. But the moment you ask Jesus Christ into your heart, and it only takes one time when you call upon the Lord, you shall be saved. He that and it says that in Joel and it says that in Romans. You call upon the name of the Lord, you shall be saved. Saved from the circumstance and saved for eternity. Now, some are going to make it and some are just going to barely make it is basically what Paul was saying. But those of us that take up our royal priesthood and we start building our foundation with that gold and the silver, you know, and when that fire, the burning comes through and we we're under that refinement, that burn. What survives the fire, what's left there won't be straw. It won't be hay, but it will be the gold and the silver, the metals, the metals that we're grabbing in the spiritual. Amen. And that is what our eternity will be. And so I beg you, take up your priesthood responsibility. Imagine if everyone had done that. I would imagine that our world would not be in the evil situation it is today. Of course, God is in control and we know that he is returning and that his prophecies have to be fulfilled. So, but here we are now learning this that revelation. But it is awesome because I can still affect my area and until he comes, I'm going to continue to grab his word, take it from the Holy Spirit and apply it to my life and to the responsible areas that I have. And I encourage you to do the same thing. take up your priestly your priestly duties and make your sacrifices unto the Lord and make atonement for those that you're responsible for whether you love them or not. But ask the Lord to show you the love because he loves them. And sometimes we wonder why do you love them, Lord?

But he does. But he loves you, too. Let's close in a word of prayer. Father God, we bless this message and we thank you for your blessing on it. We thank you for teaching us about atonement and our priestly responsibilities and duties, Father God. And I pray that we can have the strength to ask you and your Holy Spirit for help in overcoming the hatred and gossip and and to be the better blesser and the one that can make the atonement for those ignorant and walking in sin and they don't even realize it. We thank you for your revelation. We thank you for giving us that strength. And in the name of Jesus, we bless this message and we bless you. Amen. Amen. Amen. God bless you. I just couple quick announcements. Obviously, we were on vacation, so I skipped a twoe period in teaching. Now, last week, we were supposed to put up a message from the youth message, and my fault. I didn't charge the battery before going, and um I don't know how much of the message I got. So, we're not going to put that message up, but uh I will be teaching again in two weeks. And then at the end of September, we'll have another youth message and we will get that posted up because I promise you, I will charge those batteries and have it ready to go. God bless you and have a wonderful time and spend time with the Lord. Amen.
