Pastor Marcos seeks to help Christians grasp the unchanging and perfect nature of spiritual principles, showing how obedience to them leads to transformation, humility, and grace, while disobedience results in spiritual downfall. Synopsis: In Spiritual Principles, Pastor Marcos Marrero explores Psalm 19:7 as the foundation for understanding how God’s law is perfect, converting the soul and enlightening the heart. He draws parallels between the physical laws of nature, such as gravity and aerodynamics, and their spiritual counterparts, like pride leading to a fall and grace lifting the humble. Through these comparisons, he shows that while physical laws may sometimes be defied or mitigated, spiritual laws are flawless and unchanging, always producing their intended results. The lesson highlights how Jesus’ teachings consistently revolved around spiritual principles, often illustrated through parables, and how His disciples, though untrained in worldly education, demonstrated profound wisdom through their understanding of these truths. Pastor Marcos explains that spiritual principles warn us, correct us, and reward us when followed with humility, but bring destruction when violated through pride or presumption. Grace is presented as the higher spiritual law that sets humanity free from the weight of sin, much like aerodynamics overcomes the pull of gravity. The text emphasizes that God’s statutes are more valuable than gold and sweeter than honey, converting the soul and shaping a life of righteousness. Ultimately, walking in humility and reverence for God allows believers to live under the covering of grace, avoiding presumptuous sins, and keeping their words and hearts aligned with God’s will. The teaching concludes with the prayer of Psalm 19:14—an exhortation to let both word and meditation be acceptable before the Lord, who is our strength and Redeemer. Written teaching: Psalm 19:7 “The law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul; the testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple.” God is using His creation of the entire universe, verses one through six, the six days of creation, as a backdrop to His statement on verse seven, The law of the Lord is perfect as He reveals to us the perfection of His spiritual principles, so that we can have an understanding of how His spiritual laws work, as we compare them to the physical laws of nature that we understand. Spiritual principles are the spiritual laws that govern the invisible spiritual universe; and the physical laws or principles, govern the visible physical universe. Our understanding of them engenders us with the ability to be transformed in our thinking, they, the spiritual laws, have the power to convert our soul, our spiritual make up, and to make our simple ways of understanding nature into a powerful tool that helps us to understand the invisible qualities of God Himself. Acts 4:13 “Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were uneducated and untrained men, they marveled. And they realized that they had been with Jesus.” Everything that Jesus taught revolved around spiritual principles, and He often used parables, simple physical imagery, to portrait how spiritual laws worked. We can see from the verse in the book of Acts the powerful influence that Jesus’ teaching had upon His disciples, they understood spiritual laws/principles, just as well or better than those men educated in matters of the practice and principles of the law itself. What is a spiritual principle and how can we compare it to a physical law of nature? Gravity is a physical law of nature, our discovery of it has helped humanity tremendously to understand how our physical universe works, and most of us have a basic understanding of it. The spiritual counterpart of gravity could be found in our next Scripture verse. Proverbs 16:18 “Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall.” Here we see the connection between spirit and gravity, pride always precedes the fall, now that is a spiritual principle that has a tremendous effect upon our physical world, just like gravity, yet very few understand its workings, because most people do not understand that pride is a spirit. Proverbs 16:19 “Better to be of a humble spirit with the lowly, than to divide the spoil with the proud.” We naturally understand that if we jump of a cliff we are going to fall and hurt ourselves, but how many of us know that if we walk in pride we are certain to fall and hurt ourselves. See, you might be spared somehow if you jump off a cliff, because natural laws deviate, but not so with spiritual laws, for they are perfect. There are no trees to cushion your fall in the spiritual realm, your only protection is to reject the spirit of pride and humble yourselves before you fall. But you see, we would do that only if we really believe that pride and gravity have the same effect, they both will cause us to fall, the only difference is that in the physical realm the consequences are sometimes mitigated by other factors, but not so in the spiritual realm, because, once again, God’s spiritual laws are perfect, they never fail. Psalm 19:11-12 “Moreover by them (our understanding of God’s spiritual principles) Your servant is warned, and in keeping them (God’s spiritual principles) there is great reward. Who can understand his errors? Cleanse me from secret faults.” A humbled heart goes a long way into helping us to see ourselves from the proper perspective, and that is where the great reward is, for who can understand his errors, unless someone with a different perspective as theirs points them out to them, but if we walk in the spirit of pride we would never listen. And when we are willing to listen to wise counsel and deal with our known errors in a biblical way, them even our secret faults, God is more than willing to cleanse, because of another spiritual principle that walks hand in hand with those who walk with a humbled heart. Proverbs 3:34 “Surely He scorns the scornful, but gives grace to the humble.” To walk with a humbled spirit is to walk with God’s grace. How can a metal airplane that weighs tons, loaded with hundreds of passengers, with tanks full of fuel, and hundreds of pieces of luggage on board fly and defy gravity? Because of the law of aerodynamics; for thousands of years humans could not mechanically fly, until the law of aerodynamics was discovered, and now we can even fly into outer space. For thousands of years humans languished under the heaviness of sin, and could not rise above God’s perfect law that declared that the soul that sinned shall surely died and be confined, until the more perfect law of God’s grace was revealed on Calvary’s hill to release mankind from the burden of sin that kept us down. Not everybody flies, and not everybody is saved. Under the natural law not everybody might be able to fly due to physical limitations, but in the perfect spiritual realm of God’s grace, everybody can be saved no matter what their physical limitations might be, because God’s grace is perfectly adequate for all humans to avail themselves with. Right, pure, clean, true and righteous altogether, those are the qualities that the perfect law of God’s grace brings into the soul that understands God’s mercy and makes these qualities of grace its habitation. Psalm 19:8 “The statutes (spiritual principles) of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart; the commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes.” The understanding of right begins within the human heart having experienced the power of God’s grace, being humbled by the manifestation of God’s great mercy and forgiveness. Having the right perspective of our standing before God is a humbling experience that opens our eyes to the purity and perfection of Jesus’ sacrifice for us and what He accomplished for the entire human race. Psalm 19:9 “The fear of the Lord is clean, enduring forever; the judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether.” The fear of the Lord is having a clear understanding of how spiritual principles work, that they are more real than the physical laws of nature that we dare not violate because we naturally understand the consequences of such violations, that is what keeps us clean. When we understand the judgments or consequences for violating God’s spiritual principles, how true they are, we make every effort to avoid violating them, and that in essence is what makes us to walk in righteousness altogether. Psalm 19:10 “More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold; sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.” Here we see how the soul is converted by the testimony of the Lord; once we understand the reality of these spiritual laws, we naturally desire them more than any physical thing, more than gold and riches, even more than our necessary food as Job declared about God’s statues. Psalm 19:13 “Keep back Your servant also from presumptuous sins; let them not have dominion over me. Then I shall be blameless, and I shall be innocent of great transgression.” Assumptions and presumptions: In the natural or physical realm we tend to believe, based on assumptions, that friends will be true, that others can be trusted to work for our betterment, that life will be normal, and if we are young, that old age is something that happens to others, not us. To assume is not a great transgression because when friends betray you, and when others put their own self-interest ahead of yours, and when life treats you like a toilet, and wait until you start getting old, Ha! Ha! All that does is make you stronger if you understand spiritual principles and are living by them. But to presume, now that is a different type of sin, for those who presume on the grace of God, which is spiritual, fall under the dominion of the sin they ignored and presumed would not harm them. So that no matter what we think we know and understand about spiritual principles, it is always desirable to keep a humble heart and an open mind, lest we fall into the sin of presumption and forfeit the grace that sustains us. Psalm 19:14 “Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in Your sight, O Lord, my strength and my Redeemer.” Now that is great advice, let’s take advantage of it and put it to good use. Amen! Previous Home Next

THE 490th The objective of this teaching is to explore the prophetic significance of the number 490 as revealed in Daniel 9:24, connecting it to God’s divine timeline for Israel and Jerusalem, and to highlight how this prophetic cycle reveals God’s plan for judgment, mercy, and ultimate redemption. It also aims to show believers the connection between prophecy, forgiveness, and God’s mercy, urging the church to recognize the urgency of salvation and the call to repentance before the final seven-year tribulation. THE 490th Minister Lisa Kane June 15, 2025 Objective: The objective of this teaching is to explore the prophetic significance of the number 490 as revealed in Daniel 9:24, connecting it to God’s divine timeline for Israel and Jerusalem, and to highlight how this prophetic cycle reveals God’s plan for judgment, mercy, and ultimate redemption. It also aims to show believers the connection between prophecy, forgiveness, and God’s mercy, urging the church to recognize the urgency of salvation and the call to repentance before the final seven-year tribulation. Synopsis: In this lesson, Lisa Kane examines Daniel 9:24 and the prophetic vision delivered by the angel Gabriel, which outlines a 490-year period assigned to Israel and Jerusalem. This period serves as God’s “to-do list” to bring an end to transgression, sin, and iniquity, to establish everlasting righteousness, to fulfill prophecy, and to anoint the Most Holy One—Jesus Christ. The teaching explains how 483 years were fulfilled from the decree to rebuild Jerusalem to the crucifixion of Christ, leaving one final seven-year period still unfulfilled. This final period, described in Daniel and Revelation, corresponds to the tribulation where the Antichrist will rise, Israel will experience great turmoil, and God will pour out His wrath as both judgment and mercy—giving humanity one last chance to repent. Lisa also ties in Jesus’ teaching on forgiveness, emphasizing the significance of forgiving “seventy times seven” (490) as a reflection of God’s boundless mercy. Just as God extends repeated opportunities for repentance, believers are called to walk in continual forgiveness. The lesson closes with a call to action for the church to embrace grace now, boldly share the gospel, and help others escape judgment by pointing them to Jesus, whose mercies are new every morning. Inspired Teaching - Written and/or Transcribed from Video Above: Hello and welcome to the House of Faith Ministries. I'm Lisa Kan and I'm recording this teaching on Sunday, June 15, 2025. Welcome. Let's open up in a word of prayer. Father God, thank you for your word. Lord, your word will not return void and we know that your word that gets planted in our hearts will manifest later. So Lord, let the seeds be planted. Let us receive and be aware and hear your teaching today and know what mercy is about and know what your return is about. We thank you in the name of Jesus we pray. Amen. Amen. I'm glad you can be here today to watch this lesson. It's um very interesting one, a little bit different. We're going to be talking about a number. So the number is the 490th. So let's go to our opening scripture here. Uh we're in Daniel 9:24. We're going to be uh in different scriptures but a lot in Daniel here 9. So uh let's start with reading. 70 weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city to finish the transgression and to make an end of sins and to make reconciliation for iniquity and to bring in everlasting righteousness and to seal up the vision and prophecy and to anoint the most holy. So we're going to be talking about the number 490. And you're going to see here in a moment how 490 years are decreed or determined through uh to Israel and Jerusalem. And we're going to show what 490 represents and how God works in that time period, not just to the nation of Israel, but to the believer. And as a believer, these are things that we have to deal with. So now I also want to make sure that anyone who's new, you understand how I teach. So when I bring up a screen print like this or a screenshot uh PowerPoint presentation uh I bring up the scripture in King James version. The bold word is the original in King James. Anything in parenthesis is either something I've added or it is something that um is another word defined for that word through the Hebrews strong the strongs Hebrew Greek dictionary. Okay. Um, so I use that as my teaching tools when I'm here. So let's start off. We got to lay some foundation here to understand what 490 means. So right now what I'm showing you in Daniel 9 is Gabriel the angel is talking to Daniel. Daniel has fasted 21 days. He had a vision and so Gabriel is giving him this vision. It's the word from the Lord. So he says here 70 weeks. So the word week means year. Here it's translated as years. So we're looking at 490 year time period. And he says here 490 years are determined upon thy people. So he's talking to Daniel. So who is Daniel's people? The Israelites. So he's talking to Israel. And upon thy holy city. Who is the holy city? Jerusalem. It's capital of Israel to finish. Now I want you to see something here. God just assigned 490 years to Israel to accomplish this list of things that he has to do. So, you're about to see God's to-do list. Yes, God has a to-do list. And as he completes everything, he's going to be checking off his to-do list. We I I don't know about you, but I've used to-do list throughout the years of my life. Is a great tool to have. So here God is sharing his to-do list with us. Now I want to make certain that you understand something here. He is saying this is for Israel and Jerusalem. I don't see the church in there and I don't see the body of Christ in there. He doesn't say and righteous believers or anyone else like this. No, he says to Israel and Jerusalem. So let's go over this checklist. Let's lay this foundation so we can understand what the 490th is about. Amen. Okay. So it says to finish which is restrict withhold the transgression. A transgression is a re uh a revolt a rebellion. Now he assigned 490 years to Israel. Are people still revoling rebellion today? Yes. We're seeing protest uh over this weekend. No kings and then uh no kings day uh protest. you're seeing um anti-Israel protest and save Palestine and get rid of ISIS. All kinds of rebellions and revolts going on right now. So he says, okay, 490 years and and this was written probably about I don't know 500 years before Jesus, maybe a little less than that before Jesus was born. So, you're looking at a time period here that should have already been done, but it's not because Jesus came. Anyways, it tells you in Daniel. Let's go take a look at that. Says to finish the transgression and to make an end of sins. Now, a sin is an offense. You offend God when you sin. And it could be anything. Anything can offend, you know, if you choose to ignore him today. He's the farthest from your mind. That's sin. And and some people think, oh, it's just murder, lying, cheating, whatever. No, sin is just being away from God. That's also sin. So he says, okay, 490 years, I'm going to complete the rebellion. I'm going to shut that down. And then I'm going to shut down the offense, the sin. Okay? And this hasn't happened yet. What else is he going to do? and to make reconciliation for iniquity. He's going to cover or cancel perversity. Iniquity is being perverse. Now you're purposely doing something against God. You can see the different levels here. You've got a rebellion, you've got offense, and now you have intent. This is where someone is pervertly they're they're doing it on a a perverse way. they're um purposely misleading or purposely hurting. They have an intent to harm. That's what this is about. Again, he says though he's going to cover that. And that's interesting because see, none of that has happened yet, but he says he's going to do it. Now, remember, prophecy is still being fulfilled. So, this is all on the horizon. It is coming. It will be completed. says uh and to bring in everlasting righteousness. Now everlasting righteousness means you are righteous every moment of every day. I don't know about you, but when I go to sleep, what am I my dreams? I have no control over those. Am I not being righteous at that point? Am I sinning? You see, so we are not in this perfection of completion that God said he's going to do on his checklist. It's not there. What else did he say he's going to do? and to seal up vision and prophecy. So prophecy still has to be completed. Vision needs to complete it. All of God's written word still needs to be done. That hasn't happened. Even though he says, "I'm giving you 490 years to do this." So watch how this works out. Then he says, "And to anoint the most holy," which we know would be Jesus. We know that Jesus came and we know that he went to the cross and that he for is forgiving everyone. He brought mercy with him. He didn't come to judge the world. Not as the the son of God as the Messiah on the cross. He will judge later when he is king. He is coming back to that at the end of Revelation. You can go check that out. So now let's go to the next scripture because there has to be a butt in here because it hasn't happened yet. You see what I'm saying? So he says here, know therefore and understand. So he's telling you, I want you to think about this intellectually. I want you to cognitively think this through. Be pay attention. He says that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah, the prince. Stop here. He's giving us a window. It says when the command goes forth to restore and build Jerusalem. Okay, so Daniel lived at the time when Israel was taken into captivity under Babylon. Now remember, if you read all of the book of Daniel, you will find that there's Babylon, there's uh the prince of, let's see, Babylon, the Greeks, the Mes Persians, and then Rome. All of that is prophesied in Daniel, but Daniel is living in the time of Babylon. Nehemiah and Ezra, they're living about 20 to 30 years later. So when Nehemiah gets the king's decree, because see Nehemiah, go read the book of Nehemiah, go read the book of Ezra, they went and rebuilt the city because Jeremiah the prophet, all these prophets, Jeremiah the prophet actually prophesied and Daniel understood it that they would be in captivity for 70 years and they were. So that 70 years was coming up to an end. And so now the people of Israel can go back, but the place is a disaster. So Ezra and Nehemiah, they go back and rebuild and restore. They have a revival that actually takes place in this. Now imagine that happening to the church today. Amen. We rebuild. We go back and rebuild our holy temple with the Lord and and come into his sacrifices that way. Anyways, I digress. So here Dan, Gabriel's telling Daniel when that commandment goes forth and I'm guessing Daniel was alive at that time or he set people in motion to watch because remember the magi showed up when Jesus was a toddler and uh they they didn't actually show up at the manger. They showed up a couple years later following the the signs of the stars. That was implemented by Daniel because Daniel knew the numbers. He knew 490 but he also knew what this is about to say. So when that decree that's your starting point then it says unto Messiah the prince. So from the moment the decree that went through Nehemiah and from that king all the way to when Messiah would be born and raised. He says look at the what he says here. He says shall be seven weeks. Now here we go again. Weeks means years. 7 * 7 is 49. 49 years. This is and three score in 2 weeks which is 62 years or 62 * 7 is your 434 years plus that 49 because he's saying and so you got to add it together. You're looking at 483 years. So from Daniel's time, Nehemiah's time, all the way to when Jesus was born, there was 400 plus years, they call it the quiet time where God was not talking during that time. Uh so you see no activity in that time frame uh between those the minor prophets all the way up to when Jesus is born. Very quiet. So now he's saying there's going to be 483 years. And if you go back and look at history, there was. So when Jesus was cut off, now let's read the rest of it because I want you to understand. So he says uh 7 weeks, so 483 years says the street shall be built again and the wall even in trouble times. That's what Nehemiah, that's what Ezra did. They worked on that even and you can go read the trouble that they dealt with in that. It was incredible. Now uh you go to verse 26 and then it says after that time he says here after three score in two weeks. So take that whole time period and put it all together says after the 483 years because see that's the logical because that's when it happened was 43 83 years 483 years later. We're going to get to that in just a second. I want to uh go into that more detail. Shall Messiah be cut off? Okay. So from the time that Nehemiah was given to his his decree to go to Jerusalem to the time when Messiah was cut off, crucified, it would be a total of 483 years. Okay. Now, we don't know the exact dates and our calendars don't match. when I add up the numbers, I'm off by seven or eight years, which is very interesting because remember there's still seven years left after the 490. So there is uh this time period that's there and according to God and he has it in his calendar which is the most important calendar we see 483 years has been completed for Israel and Jerusalem. So 483 are done. And then Messiah was cut off. He was crucified. Now let's read the rest of that. Messiah shall be cut off or Messiah be cut off but not for himself. Remember Jesus first coming wasn't about him becoming king. Even though Israel said, "Oh, you're going to be our king. How are you going to restore the kingdom?" Even uh Peter and James and all of them were asking after he rose from the grave, are you going to restore Israel now? And then Jesus says, it's not for you to know the se times and the seasons. So they were looking for their king to restore the kingdom of Israel. They didn't realize that the prophecies, there's like two sets of prophecies, if you will. One set was for him to come as Messiah, as our savior and another one was to come as king. Now see, they thought savior of Israel because they were taking it personal and that's what had happened. That that is all what really happened. But Jesus will be coming back as a king. So this is not complete. Hold on. Let's let's get a little bit more of this. And but not for himself. So he he did it to pay the ransom and redeem all of us. So he didn't do it for himself. He did it for us. That's him going to the cross for us with permission from God. He He did that. Okay. Then he says, "And the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary." And we're talking, I should have looked it up, um 20 to 40 years, I think it's 40 years later, Jerusalem was destroyed. Might be 20. Anyways, in that time frame, Jerusalem was destroyed. the whole city they they brought down the walls and it was completely destroyed and burned down. That is history that has physically happened. Then he says here, "And the end thereof shall be with the flood and unto the end of the war desolations are determined." Okay, that part hasn't happened yet. Okay, Jerusalem hasn't been that whole area hasn't been destroyed with a flood. In fact, it was uh a desert for so long. It was desolate. And then Israel came back in 1948 and they got the capital Jerusalem back in 1967. So Jerusalem came back in 1967. This is key to understand some of this stuff. Look what he says here in Revelation 12:16. And the earth helped the woman and the earth opened her mouth and swallowed up the flood which the dragon cast out of his mouth. So, we have seven years left that has not been completed for Israel and Jerusalem. It's not for the church. It's not for the body of Christ. And I will continue to teach on that because the scriptures clearly show we're not involved in that clock. In fact, the clock has paused because Messiah was cut off. And in essence, the ministry was taken away from Israel and was given to the church. Now, we're under a different clock, but there's still seven years that are not complete. The book of Revelation and the book of Daniel talk about that seven years. Now, notice what Daniel was saying. A flood will come in and then look what Revelation says. Swallowed up the flood which the dragon cast. So, the dragon tried to flood Israel. is this is the second half of the seven-year time period called the abomination of desolation. What happens is when the temple is rebuilt, Israel will begin the daily sacrifices all over again. And they will do this under the pretense of peace under a false messiah. They don't know it's false. They're just they're going to believe this person. So at the halfway mark of this last seven years, it's like the 1,200 1,260th day, this antichrist, because that's really what he is, is going to sit on that throne in that temple and he's going to tell Israel, "Worship me. I'm your God." And that's when Jesus tells them, "When you see the abomination of desolation, that's what the abomination of desolation is about. When you see that, run." Well, while they're running, they're going to go hide. The devil is going to try to flood them out and the earth is going to swallow that flood. So, you can see that has not happened, but it was prophesied by Daniel and he talked about the desolation. So, you can see all of these events uh that are going to come in and take place. This is part of um prophecy. Now, just so you have a better understanding of all of this, says uh to so you understand the 7-year time period here, he says in Revelation 11:3, "And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a,23 score days clothed in sackcloth." Sackloth. That's the first half of the 7-year time period. So, this seven-year time period is true. Now, look at this other scripture just so you get a better understanding. says, "And the woman fled into the wilderness." This is Revelation 12:6, "Where she hath a place prepared of God." This is, see, I told you she was going to be running and then the flood's going to come in. So, brought the flood up a little earlier, but and the woman fled into the wilderness where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there 1,23 score days. There you are. You've got a seven-year time period. And I wanted to kind of bring that infrastructure in here that this is the scriptures that is prophesying about all of this stuff that's going to take place. Very, very specific prophecy and it has not happened yet. It's coming. It has not happened yet. So, let's continue back with Daniel because I want you to get the fullness of this. Daniel 9:27. And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week. See, he's talking about the Antichrist. This guy is going to come in for one week or seven years because a week means years. Seven times 1 is seven. Seven years. So he's saying he shall confirm the covenant. He's going to make a the antichrist and Israel are going to make this pact. They're going to make uh a covenant together for this seven-year peace time. And in the midst of the week, he shall curse the sacrifice. In the midst of the week, did you see that? In the midst of the year at this 1,260 days, look what he says is going to happen. He shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease. See, right at that moment, the daily sacrifices are going to end because he's going to try to sit on the throne and he's going to well, he's going to sit on the throne and he's going to tell Israel, "Hey, you worship me." And Israel is going to be like, "Whoa, we made a mistake. Wrong guy." And they're going to run. And he says here to cease and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate even unto until the consummation or completion and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate. This is going to happen. This is an event. Now this is an event for Israel because Israel is the temple. Israel is the chosen people by God. Israel has this time period. So they still have seven years to complete. But look what Peter and Jesus conversed about. It was very very interesting. Uh in Matthew 18:21-22, it says, 'Then came Peter to him and said, 'Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him till seven times? Again, that would mean 49 times. Okay, that's what the scriptur is translating to. And Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee until seven times, but until 70* 7 or 490. This is about forgiveness. Let's look at what Jesus says about forgiveness in Matthew 6:14 and 15. For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your father forgive your trespasses. So there's something very interesting here that Jesus is showing Peter the church. Peter represents the church. Yeah, he's Israeli. Yes, he's a Hebrew, but he is the one who's the church laid on him, the rock. So the church comes out of Peter and so Jesus tells him, I don't want you just to forgive seven times. I want you to forgive 490 times. Now having this framework now of this the 490th knowing that there's a seven-year time period, what happens in that seven-year time period? God pours out his wrath. Well, hold on a second. his wrath. Yes, he's going to pour out his wrath on the earth and on Israel. And if you go through the scriptures, which I just taught in the last couple lessons where uh when especially when I was talking about forgiveness that the church won't be there, I taught on this when there's 50 days when this creepy um horse scorpion looking thing will go and sting and torment the people. That creature will do that for 50 days. uh excuse me five months and in that five month time period they can't nobody can defend themselves. The only people who are protected and kept from those things are the 144,000 that are sealed in Revelation 7 and the two witnesses and the two witnesses will be eventually killed in the middle of that time period and that's when the antichrist wins and he goes and sits on the throne. So here there the antichrist is prevented from doing anything. But the last uh half three and a half years the antichrist reigns completely. There is actually no representation of God and the 144,000 are sealed and hidden. They're kept away and the devil can't get to them. So here you have this wrath this time period. Why would God do that? What is he up to? Every person that ends up in this seven-year time period are people who say one that God Jesus is not the son of God. And you can test that spirit by going and looking at 1 John 4:1. He tells you to test the spirits. And if they can't say Jesus is the son of God, they're not of God. That's one. And he's pouring out on his wrath on Israel because he says, "I'm going to bring an end to transgression, to sin, to he he's going to end that checklist that we went over in detail earlier. He's going to bring an end to all of that, the iniquity, the sin, the transgression. He's closing it up. Closing up vision and prophecy. He's going to do do that and anoint the most holy." In all of that, he is showing mercy in the last seven years. Wait a second here. Wait a second. If If we're to forgive 490 times, look at what Jesus is showing us. See, if people don't change the way they do things after, let's say 400 times, just to use a number that's easy to understand, do you think that person will change? Do you do you think that person wants to change their life? No. Why? Because it's now a habit and they're going to continue to live in that sin and keep completing that sin over and over again. So, how does God work with someone to get them out of sin? Have you ever seen in your own personal life, all hell breaks loose and then suddenly you're spending a lot of time with God and then you realize he gets you out of it and you're like, "Man, Lord, I thank you." And you start you you end up having a closer relationship with God because of what he took you through because you repented and came back to him. The whole point of that seven years, the last seven years is God is pouring out his wrath to get the attention of these people. And you can go look at the scriptures and they will show you. And they still did not repent. This was all being poured out on them and they still didn't repent. But this was God showing mercy trying to get their attention. Look at, you know, those horselike creature scorpion things are demonic. their demons that they're going to see eye to eye and it's going to look like a man's face. That's what the scriptures tell you. You can go read this and do a little homework on that. Uh I think it's Revelation 8 or nine, but you can go check it out and he will tell you that these things are going to be stinging the people on the earth, tormenting them. They're not allowed to kill them, but they are allowed to torment. Why would God do that? Because he's trying to get your attention. You keep rejecting him over and over. But Jesus continues to forgive them. He's trying to give them more time, more chance to get them saved before it all comes to a conclusion. Because see, Jesus doesn't want to lose any. He doesn't want to lose any. So, there's a day that's coming. Let's look at this in Revelation 6 says verse 12-17. And I beheld when I when he had opened the sixth seal, and lo, there was a great earthquake, and the sun became black as sackloth of hair, and the moon became as blood, and the stars of heaven fell into the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind. And the heaven departed as a scroll, when it is rolled together, and every mountain and island were moved out of their places. And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens, and in the rocks of the mountains, and said unto the mountains, and rocks, fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that siteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the lamb, for the great day of his wrath is come, and who shall be able to stand. So, see, he's now saying, this is the time to get saved. This is the time to repent because that is coming and it's going to be so much harder because these people are going to have a hardened heart and they're after all of the hell that they're going to go through on earth before they even get to hell. They're going to say, "No, we're going to continue to reject you." They're going to have a hardened heart. It's going to be harder to get saved in that time period. Now is the time to get a hold of grace. And I've been teaching this now for several lessons. And I'm hoping that you get bold and confident and talk to your family and friends and let them know this is coming because that's for the unbeliever. That's for those who say Jesus is not the son of God. But you and I know better. We know that Jesus is the son of God. We also know that he is showing his compassion to this group of people, giving them chance after chance after chance in hopes that he could even save them. And remember what Lamentation says. Lamentations 3:22 and 23. It is of the Lord's mercies, kindness that we are not consumed because his compassions fail not. They're new every morning. Great is thy faithfulness. They are new every morning. We have a chance to have that mercy and grace now. Don't lose the chance or the opportunity. And if you're afraid to tell someone about the Lord, he's afraid to tell his father about you, you need to get it together and say, you know what, I put Christ first. You have to make that determination in your heart and mind because this is very important now that we come into repentance, come into grace, and put God first in our lives. Amen. Let's close in a word of prayer. Father God, we thank you for your word, and we bless your word. I pray that we have boldness and confidence to go speak your word to get as many saved as we possibly can. I know that salvation is of you. I know that you it is your grace that saves. I pray that every person hears your grace and says, "Yes, Lord. I accept your grace. I want to be forgiven and walk in that forgiveness." And yes, I want to declare you the son of God. I pray and hope for that to manifest itself over the people and their hearts. Lord, in the name of Jesus, we pray. Thank you, Father God. Amen. Amen. Amen. Now is the time to get saved. Let's do it. Amen. God bless you. I will see you in the next message. Bye-bye. Home Previous Next

THE KEEPER The objective of The Keeper is to teach believers the biblical responsibility of tending and keeping the spiritual gardens of their lives. It emphasizes the dual call to serve God faithfully while protecting the blessings He has entrusted to us from demonic interference, through vigilance, spiritual warfare, and a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. < Back THE KEEPER Pastor Marcos Marrero Objective: The objective of The Keeper is to teach believers the biblical responsibility of tending and keeping the spiritual gardens of their lives. It emphasizes the dual call to serve God faithfully while protecting the blessings He has entrusted to us from demonic interference, through vigilance, spiritual warfare, and a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. Synopsis: In The Keeper, Pastor Marcos Marrero draws from Genesis 2:15 to explain God’s original commission to Adam—to “tend and keep” the Garden of Eden—as a model for every believer’s spiritual responsibility. The Hebrew word shamar reveals the role of a watchman, one who guards, protects, and keeps intruders from robbing what has been entrusted by God. The lesson unfolds in three key principles. First, tending speaks to serving God and working out one’s salvation, which is necessary for producing spiritual fruit. Second, keeping requires vigilance against the enemy, who seeks to steal blessings and disrupt the fruitfulness of believers. Spiritual warfare, therefore, is not optional but essential, as Christians must guard against principalities and powers rather than merely flesh and blood adversaries. Pastor Marrero stresses the personal responsibility of each believer to maintain their own “garden”—their life, household, and spiritual inheritance—without depending solely on church leaders. Using examples like Joshua and Caleb, he highlights that personal faithfulness can secure blessings even when others fall away. Protection of one’s garden requires discernment, testing spirits, and daily equipping with the armor of God, which forms the shape of the cross and provides complete covering in Christ. Ultimately, the message calls believers to live crucified with Christ, surrendering selfish ambitions and walking in His life, which produces lasting fruit. By doing so, all that is consecrated to God remains untouchable by the enemy. The Keeper reminds Christians that Jesus, the Great Shepherd, never fails His people, and through Him, believers can guard, tend, and preserve the spiritual inheritance entrusted to them. Written teaching: Genesis 2:15 “Then the Lord God took the man and put him in the garden of Eden to tend and keep it.” Keep: Shamar, in the original Hebrew text, and it means, To hedge about as with thorns (barb wire), to guard, to protect, as a watchman lying in wait for the enemy to try to come in and ambush him. Adam was commissioned by God to tend and to keep the garden of Eden. To Tend means to work by serving. Adam was to work while serving in the garden, and at the same time he was to keep it safe, by protecting the garden that he had been given dominion over—from demonic intruders, since there were at that time, no other humans besides Adam and Eve. We see two principles here that deal with our abilities to produce spiritual fruit from God: First, we need to work out our own salvation by serving God in order to produce spiritual fruit, since spiritual fruit does not happen by itself. Philippians 2:12-13 “Therefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling; for it is God who works in you both to will and to do (to tend and to keep) for His good pleasure.” We are to seek after the things of God which are spiritual in order to produce spiritual fruit. Matthew 6:33 “But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.” Secondly, we need to watch out for thieves whose aim is to rob us of the blessings that come as a result of our serving the Living God with a true heart. Proverbs 27:18 “Whoever keeps (protects and/or tends) the fig tree will eat its fruit; so he who waits on his master will be honored.” Sadly, too many Christians who serve God faithfully, do not get to partake of the spiritual fruit that their true labor of love produces, because they are not aware of the thief who is robbing them blind. 1 Peter 5:8 “Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.” If the devil did not have the ability to deprive us of our spiritual blessings, we would not be commanded to be sober and be vigilant. I believe that the reason so many Christians are swindled by the devil out of their spiritual blessings, is because so many churches do not embrace the teachings of the ministry of deliverance, which is all about spiritual warfare and keeping watch: to guard, to protect, as a watchman laying in wait for the enemy to try to come in and ambush him. Matthew 24:43 “But know this, that if the master of the house had known what hour the thief would come, he would have watched and not allowed his house to be broken into.” From the days of the garden of Eden, humans have let down their guard by failing to keep their garden safe and allowed the enemy to rob them of the fruits of their labor. Zechariah 13:7 “‘Awake, O sword, against My Shepherd, against the Man who is My Companion,’ says the Lord of hosts. ‘Strike the Shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered; then I will turn My hand against the little ones.’” Behind Zechariah’s Messianic prophecy we see the spiritual principle that the enemy uses to steal our spiritual blessings from us. While the prophecy applies to Jesus dying on the cross and the scattering of His disciples, the principle works the same; if the devil can get to the shepherds of the church he can also scatter the sheep and turn his hand against them. Spiritual warfare is not a Christian accessory, it is a vital part of everyday Christianity. We are not guarding against flesh and blood enemies; we are protecting against principalities and powers. Ephesians 6:12 “For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.” In the face of the fact that not too many Christians are taught about spiritual warfare in their local churches—since way too many shepherds have been intimidated by the enemy—we are going to deal with the personal aspect of tending and keeping our own gardens. The number one, and must important thing that we need to know is that we have a personal—a one and one relationship with Jesus, and no natural family, or church family, or a shepherd who is the leader of the church of which we are members, is ever to come between us and our personal relationship that we have with Jesus, and our responsibility to tend and to keep watch over our own personal gardens. Matthew 10:37 “He who loves father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me. And he who loves son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me.” This ensures that if the shepherd fails in his responsibility to properly keep his congregation safe—if he fails to tend it properly—these church members are still guarded and protected by the Great Shepherd under whose wing they have taken refuge. That is why we take the Word of God to church with us, because our covenant is with the Word who became flesh and died for us, and not with mere mortal men. Where other men will fail us, Jesus is the Man that will never fail us. The second thing then, is that we are personally responsible to tend and to keep safe our own garden. What is our own garden? Joshua 24:15 “...But as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.” Joshua and Caleb were part of the twelve spies, ten of which gave a bad report and caused the rest of the people to turn back from their inheritance. Although Joshua and Caleb gave a good report, it was not accepted because of the fear that the report of the other ten spies brought into the camp. Although the possessing of their inheritance was delayed by forty years due to the false report of the other ten leaders, Joshua and Caleb entered into their inheritance because of their faith, while none of the others did, for they all died in the desert. While they were still part of the whole, they were able to keep the enemy from stealing what was their personal inheritance. Acts 16:31 “So they said, ‘Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved, you and your household.’” Our own garden is that which belongs to us in accordance with God’s promises, and it is our own personal responsibility to guard it and to keep it safe no matter what. If a church leader is pressured into compromising the promises given to the body of Christ—they do so at their own risk—we do not have to compromise our own personal promises, we can take a stand like Joshua and Caleb did. The third thing is, How do we guard our own personal garden? 1 John 4:1 “Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world.” Keep in mind that it is spiritual fruit that we are trying to guard. Also that our real enemies are spirits masking behind flesh and blood. Ephesians 6:13-17 “Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.” If one draws a picture of a human body standing at attention, with both arms completely extended horizontally to the sides, it forms a cross. Now if we draw a line from the helmet of salvation through the breastplate of righteousness, on through the belt of truth where it ties with the buckle, and unto the feet which are shod with the gospel of peace. Then draw a separate line from the right hand which is holding the sword of the Spirit, to the left hand which is holding the shield of faith, the cross is complete. Galatians 2:20 “I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.” The goal of spiritual fruit is self-control; the enemy of self-control is selfish-ambitions. Death to our self-life for the sake of Christ’s life always produces spiritual fruit, for such fruit emanates from the Anointed One Himself who dwells within those of us who believe in Him. But most importantly, those who die to themselves for the sake of living Christ’s life, clothe themselves with an impenetrable armor that not only protects them, but that also protects all that belongs to them. Matthew 6:19-20 “Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal; but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal.” In spiritual warfare all that we surrender to Jesus is kept safe, for we may not always be able to keep the enemy with all his cunning out of our garden. But if all that is within our garden is marked with the sign of the cross, the devil cannot touch it; for it is holy to the Lord and consecrated to God and for the glory of His only begotten Son, the Anointed One. 1 Chronicles 16:22 “Saying, ‘Do not touch My anointed ones, and do My prophets no harm.’” Let us not forget that the armor of God is also the armor of light which completely covers us with His anointing. Romans 13:12, 14 “The night is far spent, the day is at hand. Therefore let us cast off the works of darkness (selfish ambitions), and let us put on the armor of light...But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to fulfill its lusts.” Previous Home Next

SENDING MIXED MESSAGES TO GOD To help believers recognize how doubt, impatience, and self-reliance can send mixed messages to God in prayer, and to guide them into a deeper life of faith, obedience, and trust. This teaching equips listeners to align their prayers with their actions, stand firm in God’s grace, and learn to truly believe, release, and wait on the Lord without taking matters back into their own hands. < Back SENDING MIXED MESSAGES TO GOD Minister Lisa Kane December 14, 2025 Objective: To help believers recognize how doubt, impatience, and self-reliance can send mixed messages to God in prayer, and to guide them into a deeper life of faith, obedience, and trust. This teaching equips listeners to align their prayers with their actions, stand firm in God’s grace, and learn to truly believe, release, and wait on the Lord without taking matters back into their own hands. Synopsis: In Sending Mixed Messages to God, Minister Lisa Kane addresses a common struggle in the life of faith: believing God in prayer while simultaneously relying on human solutions. Rooted in Philippians 4:6–7, this teaching reveals how anxiety, impatience, and unchecked thoughts can contradict our prayers. Through scriptures such as Mark 11:24, 2 Corinthians 10:4–6, Galatians 5:1, and Hebrews 11:6, believers are challenged to bring every thought into obedience to Christ, choose faith over fear, and grace over the law. Minister Lisa emphasizes the power of the secret place, the necessity of honest prayer, and the discipline of waiting on the Lord. The message calls believers to stop reclaiming what they have already surrendered to God, to trust Him fully, and to rest in the peace that comes from unwavering faith and obedience. Inspired Teaching: Philippians 4:6-7 NKJV 6 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; 7 and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. Throughout my years, I’ve come to realize something about my prayer requests. Sometimes, they are answered and sometimes they are not. And I ask myself, why? In some cases, I believe it’s because I’m sending God mixed messages with my requests. In reality, do I believe that God can take care of ALL my prayer requests? Yes, I do but my actions say otherwise. Mark 10:27 NKJV 27 But Jesus looked at them and said, “With men it is impossible, but not with God; for with God all things are possible.” Matthew 19:26 NKJV 26 But Jesus looked at them and said to them, “With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.” All things are possible with God, but then why do I struggle believing that? 2 Corinthians 10:4-6 NKJV For the weapons of our warfare are not [a]carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, 5 casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ, 6 and being ready to punish all disobedience when your obedience is fulfilled. Against the knowledge of God…do you see that? I have the knowledge of God but for some reason, I don’t believe. I’d rather call a ‘professional’ to help me than to go to God with my issue. And here in 2 Cor 10:5, I can bring every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ, and being ready to punish disobedience. Notice, this says ‘obedience’ and punish ‘disobedience’…instead, we’re justifying our thoughts and accepting them as truth. For example, I feel a cold coming on. My first thought is: do I have medicine to easy my symptoms? When my first thought should have been to say: Jesus You are Lord over this sickness and I do not accept this sickness into my life. And whatever I’ve done to allow this in, I forgive that and ask You to forgive it as well. Shut the door on this sickness in the Name of Jesus. Mark 11:24 NKJV 24 Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them. Once I ask God to forgive it, it is finished! I just need to leave it there but sometimes I become impatient and try to take it back because He’s taking “forever” to handle the matter. Isn’t this a mixed message? Sometimes, we also need to wait on the Lord after we give it to Him. Galatians 5:1-6 NKJV Stand[a] fast therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free, and do not be entangled again with a yoke of bondage. 2 Indeed I, Paul, say to you that if you become circumcised, Christ will profit you nothing. 3 And I testify again to every man who becomes circumcised that he is [b]a debtor to keep the whole law. 4 You have become estranged from Christ, you who attempt to be justified by law; you have fallen from grace. 5 For we through the Spirit eagerly wait for the hope of righteousness by faith. 6 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision avails anything, but faith working through love. You see, he said to ‘stand’. First word in Galatians 5:1. But, our minds like to go back to ‘taking care of the problem’ ourselves or believing in a way to handle it ourselves. Almost like, God, I got this. Never mind. Grace is clearly a gift from God and yet we do everything we can to go back to the law where we are told what not to do. Living by the law is not living in Christ liberty. But Grace gives us liberty. We have the liberty to say we’re forgiven and to ask our Lord for anything and He will give it. We need to remember this and leave it with Him. Hebrews 11:6 NKJV 6 But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. Ahhh – here is the crux of the matter. We need to have faith…another words, we need to believe that God is more than capable of taking care of the issue. And we need to have that patience with Him as He handles the problem. So, how do we show God that we have faith, which will PLEASE Him. Pleasing God should be a priority. I don’t know about you but I fear Him who has my eternity in His hands. That means, it’s a priority in my heart to please Him. Mark 9:23-24 NKJV 23 Jesus said to him, “If[d] you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes.” 24 Immediately the father of the child cried out and said with tears, “Lord, I believe; help my unbelief!” It starts by going to God and telling Him we have a problem with believing in Him. Jesus showed us how to pray and it starts with that. Matthew 6:6-15 NKJV 6 But you, when you pray, go into your room, and when you have shut your door, pray to your Father who is in the secret place; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you [c]openly. 7 And when you pray, do not use vain repetitions as the heathen do. For they think that they will be heard for their many words. 8 “Therefore do not be like them. For your Father knows the things you have need of before you ask Him. 9 In this manner, therefore, pray: Our Father in heaven, Hallowed be Your name. 10 Your kingdom come. Your will be done On earth as it is in heaven. 11 Give us this day our daily bread. 12 And forgive us our debts, As we forgive our debtors. 13 And do not lead us into temptation, But deliver us from the evil one. [d]For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen. 14 “For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. 15 But if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses. Notice the first thing Jesus says: go into your room and shut your door in the secret place. Start there. Remember, Psalm 91:1 NKJV He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. What you do in the secret place with the Lord, He will reward in the open. And you don’t have to use vain repetitions or many words. Get to your ‘ask’ because God already knows your petition. But in this moment of asking, humble yourself and acknowledge who God is through your prayer. Hallow Him. Put His kingdom first, His will first, ask that your needs are met, and forgive yourself and others. Even ask Him to build your faith and to help you believe that He is more than possible to take care of your issue. James 5:14-16 NKJV 14 Is anyone among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord. 15 And the prayer of faith will save the sick, and the Lord will raise him up. And if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven. 16 [j]Confess your trespasses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The effective, [k]fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much. If you are sick, then go to the elders of your church and let them pray over you. Here’s the point of this teaching: believe, ask God, and wait on the Lord. Read what this Psalmist said: Psalm 27:7-14 NKJV 7 Hear, O Lord, when I cry with my voice! Have mercy also upon me, and answer me. 8 When You said, “Seek My face,” My heart said to You, “Your face, Lord, I will seek.” 9 Do not hide Your face from me; Do not turn Your servant away in anger; You have been my help; Do not leave me nor forsake me, O God of my salvation. 10 When my father and my mother forsake me, Then the Lord will take care of me. 11 Teach me Your way, O Lord, And lead me in a smooth path, because of my enemies. 12 Do not deliver me to the will of my adversaries; For false witnesses have risen against me, And such as breathe out violence. 13 I would have lost heart, unless I had believed That I would see the goodness of the Lord In the land of the living. 14 Wait[e] on the Lord; Be of good courage, And He shall strengthen your heart; Wait, I say, on the Lord! In this Psalmist case, he had accusers and adversaries around him…don’t we all? He also said he would have lost heart unless he had ‘believed’ or another words had ‘faith’. He acknowledged that he had to go to the Lord first acknowledging the issue and giving it to Him. Then he reiterated ‘wait on the Lord’. Don’t take your situations that you have given to God out of His hands. Leave them there and wait. He will take care of the matter. When you take them out of His hands and try to take care of the situation yourself that’s telling God, “um, hey listen God, I don’t have patience and can’t wait for you to take care this…so I will take care of it myself.” That’s a mixed message to God! Stop sending mixed messages to the Lord with your actions. Give it to Him and wait on Him. Previous Next Home

UNDERSTANDING REVELATION: THE TWO REALMS OF PROPHECY The objective of this study is to help believers understand the book of Revelation through a clear biblical framework by recognizing that the prophecy unfolds in two dimensions simultaneously—the physical realm and the spiritual realm. By identifying where John is seeing the events from and how the earthly and heavenly perspectives align, readers will gain greater clarity about the prophetic timeline, the authority of Jesus Christ, and the ultimate fulfillment of God’s redemptive plan. This teaching aims to remove confusion surrounding Revelation and replace it with understanding, faith, and readiness for the return of Jesus Christ. UNDERSTANDING REVELATION: THE TWO REALMS OF PROPHECY Minister Lisa Kane March 10, 2026 Objective: The objective of this study is to help believers understand the book of Revelation through a clear biblical framework by recognizing that the prophecy unfolds in two dimensions simultaneously—the physical realm and the spiritual realm. By identifying where John is seeing the events from and how the earthly and heavenly perspectives align, readers will gain greater clarity about the prophetic timeline, the authority of Jesus Christ, and the ultimate fulfillment of God’s redemptive plan. This teaching aims to remove confusion surrounding Revelation and replace it with understanding, faith, and readiness for the return of Jesus Christ. Synopsis: Many believers approach the book of Revelation with uncertainty because of its vivid imagery and complex prophetic language. This study introduces a foundational key to understanding the prophecy: Revelation unfolds through two perspectives occurring at the same time—the physical events taking place on earth and the spiritual realities unfolding in heaven. Beginning with John’s physical location on the island of Patmos and his messages to the seven churches, the study establishes the earthly timeline of the Church Age. The narrative then shifts in Revelation chapter four when John is taken into the Spirit and shown heaven’s perspective of God’s plan. From the throne room of God to the unveiling of the Lamb who alone is worthy to open the scroll, the vision reveals the authority, victory, and future reign of Jesus Christ. By recognizing how heaven and earth operate together within God’s prophetic design, readers can better understand the purpose of Revelation—not as a message of fear, but as a divine revelation preparing God’s people for the return of the King and the fulfillment of His promises. Inspired Teaching: Introduction Many believers read the book of Revelation and feel overwhelmed. The imagery is powerful, the visions are intense, and the timeline can appear confusing. Yet the purpose of Revelation is not to confuse us—it is to reveal Jesus Christ and prepare His people for what is to come. The key to understanding this prophetic book begins with recognizing something many readers overlook: Revelation unfolds in two realms at the same time— the spiritual realm and the physical realm. When we begin to recognize these two perspectives, the book of Revelation becomes clearer, more organized, and far more powerful in its message. The Revelation of Jesus Christ Revelation begins with these words: Revelation 1:1 “The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave Him to show His servants—things which must shortly take place.” This book is not primarily about beasts, plagues, or judgments. It is about Jesus Christ being revealed. It reveals: • His authority • His victory • His return • His kingdom But to understand what John saw, we must first recognize where he was seeing it from. The Physical Realm John begins his vision in a physical location. Revelation 1:9 “I, John… was on the island that is called Patmos for the word of God.” This tells us something important: The opening chapters of Revelation begin in the physical world. John is on a real island, writing to real churches in real cities. The messages to the seven churches describe the spiritual condition of the Church on earth. These churches represent: • real congregations • real spiritual challenges • real believers But they also provide a chronological picture of the Church Age. From the early church until the final generation, the spiritual state of the Church unfolds through these messages. This is the earthly timeline of the Church Age. mansfinaldestiny_txt1_wfl 12.8.… The Spiritual Realm Then something dramatic happens. Revelation 4:1 “After these things I looked, and behold, a door standing open in heaven… and the voice said, ‘Come up here.’” John is suddenly taken into the spiritual realm. The scene shifts from earth to heaven. This is where many readers become confused. The book begins to show us heaven’s perspective of events happening on earth. From this moment forward, Revelation reveals what is happening behind the scenes in the spiritual realm while history unfolds on earth. Why This Matters Without recognizing these two perspectives, Revelation can feel disjointed. But when we understand that God is revealing two dimensions of the same timeline, everything begins to align. Think of it like watching a historical movie that shifts between two locations. One scene shows what is happening on the battlefield. Another scene shows what is happening in the command center. Both are happening at the same time. Revelation shows us: • what is happening on earth • what is happening in heaven God is revealing the spiritual forces behind world events. The Throne Room of Heaven When John arrives in heaven, he sees the throne of God. Revelation 4:2 “Immediately I was in the Spirit; and behold, a throne set in heaven, and One sat on the throne.” This throne represents the ultimate authority of God over history. Even when the world appears chaotic, heaven is not confused. God is not reacting. He is revealing His plan. The Lamb Who Is Worthy In Revelation chapter five, the focus shifts to Jesus Christ. John sees a scroll sealed with seven seals. No one in heaven or on earth is worthy to open it. Until one appears. Revelation 5:5 “Behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah… has prevailed to open the scroll.” When John looks again, he does not see a lion. He sees something else. Revelation 5:6 “A Lamb as though it had been slain.” This is Jesus Christ. The Lamb who died for the sins of the world. Because of His sacrifice, He alone has authority over the destiny of humanity. All of heaven declares: “Worthy is the Lamb who was slain!” What Revelation Ultimately Shows Us Revelation is not simply about the end of the world. It is about the fulfillment of God’s promises. It shows us that: • Jesus defeated sin • Jesus defeated death • Jesus will return • Jesus will reign And every event described in Revelation ultimately points to one moment: The return of the King. Why This Teaching Matters Today The world we are living in is changing rapidly. Global events, political shifts, and spiritual deception are increasing. Many people sense that something significant is approaching. The Bible told us this would happen. Jesus said: Matthew 24:6 “You will hear of wars and rumors of wars… but the end is not yet.” God did not give us prophecy to frighten us. He gave it to prepare us. When believers understand God’s prophetic plan, fear is replaced with faith. Confusion is replaced with clarity. And uncertainty is replaced with hope. A Final Thought Revelation is not a puzzle meant to discourage us. It is a revelation meant to awaken us. Jesus is coming again. The question is not if He will return. The question is are we ready when He does?

ALTAR IN THE MIDST, PILLAR ON THE BORDER To reveal the prophetic and spiritual significance of Isaiah’s vision of an altar in Egypt and a pillar on its border, connecting it to the end-time alignment of Egypt, Assyria, and Israel. The teaching draws a parallel between the physical nations and the inner life of every believer—spirit, soul, and body—showing how deliverance and blessing flow only when these align under God’s rule. < Back ALTAR IN THE MIDST, PILLAR ON THE BORDER Pastor Marcos Marrero Objective: To reveal the prophetic and spiritual significance of Isaiah’s vision of an altar in Egypt and a pillar on its border, connecting it to the end-time alignment of Egypt, Assyria, and Israel. The teaching draws a parallel between the physical nations and the inner life of every believer—spirit, soul, and body—showing how deliverance and blessing flow only when these align under God’s rule. Synopsis: In Altar in the Midst, Pillar on the Border, Pastor Marcos explores Isaiah 19:19–25, where the prophet describes a time when Egypt, Assyria, and Israel will stand together as instruments of God’s blessing. While some view this as a reference to the Great Pyramid of Giza, Pastor Marcos emphasizes the deeper prophetic message—one that points to end-time events and personal spiritual deliverance. The nations themselves carry symbolic meaning: Egypt represents the flesh or worldliness, Assyria signifies the soul of the nations, and Israel symbolizes the spirit—the inheritance of God. Just as Scripture foretells these nations aligning in blessing, believers are called to bring their body, soul, and spirit into harmony before God. Deliverance is pictured in the progression of Isaiah 19, where idols fall, inner wars expose demonic strongholds, and the heart is faced with a choice: cling to sin or embrace freedom in Christ. Pastor Marcos parallels Egypt’s cry for deliverance from oppression with the believer’s own cry for freedom from spiritual bondage. Just as God promises to strike and heal Egypt, the Lord strikes the flesh with conviction and discipline so that it might be healed and reconciled to Him. The altar in the midst and the pillar on the border represent the believer’s inner consecration to God and the outward testimony of faith that stands as a witness to the world. Ultimately, the prophecy not only points to the coming Messianic rule over all nations but also reminds the Church of its role: to bear the pillar of truth and maintain an altar of devotion in the heart. Deliverance, alignment, and blessing come when God is enthroned in every dimension of life—spirit, soul, and body—just as the nations themselves will one day be aligned in His kingdom reign. Written teaching: Isaiah 19:19 “In that day there will be an altar to the Lord in the midst of the land of Egypt, and a pillar to the Lord at its border.” Although the above end time prophecy, which some believe is a direct reference to the pyramid of Giza, which straddles the border of old Egypt between north and south, and which also stands in the midst of the entire nation today, it's a future prophecy that details the condition of three middle eastern nations at a specific point in time, as our next verses show. Isaiah 19:23-25 “In that day there will be a highway from Egypt to Assyria (through the land of Israel), and the Assyrian will come into Egypt and the Egyptian into Assyria, and the Egyptians will serve (the Lord in Israel) with the Assyrians. In that day Israel will be one of three with Egypt and Assyria—a blessing in the midst of the land, whom the Lord of hosts shall bless, saying, ‘Blessed is Egypt My people, and Assyria the work of My hands, and Israel My inheritance.’” Now I believe that there is an extremely relevant spiritual connection to all that is been manifested in the physical unfolding of this prophecy. The nation of Israel today borders the land of Egypt on its west side, and the land of Syria on its northeast side, where the Assyrian nation was located on Isaiah’s day. Both the nation of Egypt and the Syrian nation are experiencing great turmoil as of this writing, which is clearly setting the stage for what the Lord is getting ready to do as we approach the days of the end of the age. But I couldn't help but notice how the Lord intends for this trinity of nations to convey a message of an end time blessing, in the midst of the land, that would have great spiritual repercussions as well. We know that Egypt is often used as a metaphor for the world or the flesh, but in this case the Lord calls the Egyptians whom He is blessing, My people, and to the Assyrians whom He is blessing as well, He refers as, The work of My hands. And Israel He calls, My inheritance. God formed Adam’s body from clay but that clay did not animate until God breathed into the nostrils He fashioned on the clay, it was then that man became a living soul, the work of God’s hands, His inheritance whom He placed on the garden to tend it and to keep it. We see in Ezekiel 38-39 how the reinstituted nation of Israel cries to God that their bones are dried and in need of a spiritual rebirth. Could it be that this is what is taking place right now? The mechanics that will bring about a physical tri-unique alignment that would serve as a sign to the nations before the end time blessings are restored. Isaiah 19:20 “And it will be for a sign and for a witness to the Lord of hosts in the land of Egypt; for they will cry to the Lord because of oppressors, and He will send them a Savior and a Mighty One, and He will deliver them.” How can we not understand the sign of the cry of the Egyptian nation where as many as fifteen million people took to the streets and asked for deliverance from oppressors? It is so hard for me to understand the logistics required to accommodate millions of people on the streets when just a few thousands leaving a stadium, where a game was played, can put so much stress on a city’s infrastructure, but it happened. If Egypt is representative, spiritually speaking, of the physical body or the entire world, and if Assyria, which encompassed Lebanon as well as the Syria and Iraq and Jordan of today in Isaiah’s day, represents the soul of the nations, and if Israel which represents the spiritual center of the earth, with Jerusalem as its capital, what does their aligning together mean for us today? It means that the great world wide rule of Messiah that takes place in the age that is soon to come is nearing fast. The spiritual implications for us, as far as deliverance is concerned is this; the blessings of deliverance for us individually cannot come until we align ourselves, the trinity of our spirit, soul, and body as one in our midst and in the border thereof or our outer self. Let us look at the physical progression of how Egypt, which represents the flesh, its prepared by the Lord to erect Him an altar in her midst and a pillar to the Lord in its border or outer semblance. Isaiah 19:1 “The burden against Egypt. Behold, the Lord rides on a swift cloud, and will come into Egypt; the idols of Egypt will totter at His presence, and the heart of Egypt will melt in its midst.” When a person becomes born again, they do so by accepting the Spirit of God who rides swiftly into their hearts as they repent, which causes a commotion among the idols that that person has erected in their souls. Immediately a civil war breaks out within that person’s heart that has just being converted, for there can be no fellowship between the Spirit of God and idols. Isaiah 19:2 “I will set the Egyptians against the Egyptians (demons against demons); everyone will fight against his brother, and everyone against his neighbor, city against city, kingdom against kingdom.” This war within has more than one purpose, first, it takes place for the purpose of exposing the demonic infrastructures and the strongholds within the human soul that has just being converted. Secondly, by dividing these demonic entities, it causes those spirits to fail in their struggles to hold onto the person that is being delivered, by making them weaker as they struggle against one another to hold on. Thirdly, it reveals to the person being delivered the connection that these demonic entities, that the person being delivered might not even known existed, had to the rulers of the darkness of this world. Isaiah 19:3 “The spirit of Egypt will fail in its midst; I will destroy their counsel, and they will consult the idols and the charmers, the mediums and the sorcerers.” This is when the person that is being delivered has to make a choice, do they hold on to these demonic hordes that have being the enablers of their flesh up to this point, or do they renounce them and decide that they do not want them to be part of their lives any more? Jesus told us that when a demon is driving out of a person, that demon goes about wondering through dry places, seeking rest and finding none. So it returns to see if it can get back into the house, the body that it was cast out of, if the demon sees an opening, it goes out and finds seven demons more powerful than himself and enter into the person he was cast out of, and the condition of that person becomes worst. Jesus also told us that if after a person that has being forgiven the debt of sin that they could not ever repay, that if they fail to forgive others their trespasses against them for whatever reason, that such a person would be handed over to the tormentors until their debt was pay, the debt which they could not pay to begin with. Isaiah 19:4 “And the Egyptians (the flesh that refuses deliverance) I will give into the hand of a cruel master, and a fierce king will rule over them, says the Lord, the Lord of hosts.” So that the spiritual and the physical mirror each other. What we see transpiring today on the global and national news is pretty much a reflection of that which is taking place within the souls of the inhabitants of the nations. Those who reject the Gospel of Jesus Christ as nonsense are lost and without hope, despair and hopelessness defines them, and they really do not have a clue as to how much is at stake if they do not wise up. On the other hand we have those who know about the Gospel of Jesus Christ, but are enemies of the cross, so they work feverishly to oppose, and to pervert the truth of the Gospel, lest those who hear it will come into the liberating knowledge of God’s love for them. And then, we have the workers of iniquity, those who trade in the commodities of the underworld, who for a piece of hell’s pot sell their souls to the devil and become active in recruiting out of humanity, fodder for the devil’s cannons. They pervert society to reflect their own tormented souls, they push drugs, perversion, idolatry, misconduct, mayhem, pornography, violence, and every enslaving thing that would gain them favor with their demonic masters, with whom they will be sharing eternal torment. But to us it falls to reveal through our outer walls, or borders, what is on the altar which we have erected in our hearts to our God, that which has become a pillar of our continuance in the grace of God. We continue to proclaim the grace of God in love, knowing full well that God is not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. So that for the sake of the Gospel we are willing to endure ridicule and shame, when we are reviled we respond with a prayer of grace on behalf of those who chose to persecute us. Isaiah 19:21 “Then the Lord will be known to Egypt, and the Egyptians will know the Lord in that day, and will make sacrifice and offering; yes, they will make a vow to the Lord and perform it.” What a beautiful symbol of the deliverance that awaits our flesh, it says that the Lord will be known to our flesh, and that our flesh will know the Lord on that day; and the sign that our flesh knows the Lord and that its known of the Lord is that it will be able to make a vow to the Lord and keep it. What that means is that when our flesh is reviled for the testimony that it holds, we will offer the sacrifice of praise unto our Lord and will offer a sincere prayer on behalf of those who do the reviling. Do you want to know what happens to those people that we pray for even after they revile us and persecute us? The Lord strikes them with kindness. Isaiah 19:22 “And the Lord will strike Egypt, He will strike and heal it; they will return to the Lord, and He will be entreated by them and heal them.” Oh, what a mighty God we serve, how awesome is His mercy and how boundless is His grace! His wisdom is unsearchable and His power to heal us is unending! I love You my sweet Jesus, Your love overwhelms me, Your presence in my life humbles me, and Your Word satisfies all my needs for ever! Previous Home Next

OBEYING GOD AND CONSEQUENCES To emphasize the importance of complete obedience to God’s Word and His commandments, showing that partial obedience is still disobedience, and that rejecting God’s instructions leads to severe and sometimes irreversible consequences. This lesson calls believers to humility, true repentance, and wholehearted submission to the Lord’s voice, reminding us that obedience is better than sacrifice. OBEYING GOD AND CONSEQUENCES Minister Lisa Kane March 18, 2021 Objective: To emphasize the importance of complete obedience to God’s Word and His commandments, showing that partial obedience is still disobedience, and that rejecting God’s instructions leads to severe and sometimes irreversible consequences. This lesson calls believers to humility, true repentance, and wholehearted submission to the Lord’s voice, reminding us that obedience is better than sacrifice. Synopsis: In 1 Samuel 15, King Saul is commanded by God through the prophet Samuel to utterly destroy the Amalekites as a judgment for their past rebellion against Israel. Instead of fully obeying, Saul spares King Agag and keeps the best of the livestock, justifying his disobedience as an act of sacrifice to God. When confronted, Saul shifts blame to the people and offers excuses rather than true repentance. Samuel rebukes him with the piercing truth: “To obey is better than sacrifice, and to heed than the fat of rams.” Because of Saul’s rebellion and stubbornness, God rejects him as king, and the kingdom is torn away from him. The lesson illustrates how disobedience, even when disguised as religious intention, is rebellion against God and carries serious consequences. Saul’s insincere repentance—still laced with excuses—further exposes his unwillingness to take responsibility, contrasting with the sincere humility God desires from His people. The account warns us that rebellion is like witchcraft and stubbornness is like idolatry, showing how dangerous it is to reject God’s Word. Believers today must understand that God’s commandments are not optional. Even when His instructions are difficult or beyond our understanding, obedience is required. Partial obedience is still sin. Yet God’s mercy is available through sincere repentance and confession in Christ (Romans 10:9-10). The call is to turn away from rebellion, embrace God’s Word as the ultimate authority, and walk in obedience so that His blessings, protection, and presence may remain upon us (Psalm 91). Inspired Teaching: 1 Samuel 15:1-9 NKJV 15 Samuel also said to Saul, “The Lord sent me to anoint you king over His people, over Israel. Now therefore, heed the voice of the words of the Lord. 2 Thus says the Lord of hosts: ‘I will punish Amalek for what he did to Israel, how he ambushed him on the way when he came up from Egypt. 3 Now go and attack[a] Amalek, and utterly destroy all that they have, and do not spare them. But kill both man and woman, infant and nursing child, ox and sheep, camel and donkey.’ ” 4 So Saul gathered the people together and numbered them in Telaim, two hundred thousand foot soldiers and ten thousand men of Judah. 5 And Saul came to a city of Amalek, and lay in wait in the valley. 6 Then Saul said to the Kenites, “Go, depart, get down from among the Amalekites, lest I destroy you with them. For you showed kindness to all the children of Israel when they came up out of Egypt.” So the Kenites departed from among the Amalekites. 7 And Saul attacked the Amalekites, from Havilah all the way to Shur, which is east of Egypt. 8 He also took Agag king of the Amalekites alive, and utterly destroyed all the people with the edge of the sword. 9 But Saul and the people spared Agag and the best of the sheep, the oxen, the fatlings, the lambs, and all that was good, and were unwilling to utterly destroy them. But everything despised and worthless, that they utterly destroyed. In the above scriptures, you can see that Saul and the people decided on their own to pick and choose what they would save vs destroying. God has a reason for destroying this race. They’re descendants from the giants and God cursed them before the flood. He was using Israel to fully destroy them completing His word against the giants. Another words, this was a race that had mixed blood between spirit realm and humanity. This is what the giants did when the watchers mated by taking humans wives for themselves. Genesis 6:1-2 NKJV 6 Now it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born to them, 2 that the sons of God saw the daughters of men, that they were beautiful; and they took wives for themselves of all whom they chose. Isaiah 1:18 NKJV 18 “Come now, and let us reason together,” Says the Lord, “Though your sins are like scarlet, They shall be as white as snow; Though they are red like crimson, They shall be as wool. We may not always understand why God has certain commandments in place, but we need to obey them. We can go to Him and ask Him for understanding but the end act still results in obedience, otherwise there are consequences and having God reject you is an awful consequence you do not want to experience. 1 Samuel 15:10-23 NKJV 10 Now the word of the Lord came to Samuel, saying, 11 “I greatly regret that I have set up Saul as king, for he has turned back from following Me, and has not performed My commandments.” And it grieved Samuel, and he cried out to the Lord all night. 12 So when Samuel rose early in the morning to meet Saul, it was told Samuel, saying, “Saul went to Carmel, and indeed, he set up a monument for himself; and he has gone on around, passed by, and gone down to Gilgal.” 13 Then Samuel went to Saul, and Saul said to him, “Blessed are you of the Lord! I have performed the commandment of the Lord.” 14 But Samuel said, “What then is this bleating of the sheep in my ears, and the lowing of the oxen which I hear?” 15 And Saul said, “They have brought them from the Amalekites; for the people spared the best of the sheep and the oxen, to sacrifice to the Lord your God; and the rest we have utterly destroyed.” 16 Then Samuel said to Saul, “Be quiet! And I will tell you what the Lord said to me last night.” And he said to him, “Speak on.” 17 So Samuel said, “When you were little in your own eyes, were you not head of the tribes of Israel? And did not the Lord anoint you king over Israel? 18 Now the Lord sent you on a mission, and said, ‘Go, and utterly destroy the sinners, the Amalekites, and fight against them until they are [b]consumed.’ 19 Why then did you not obey the voice of the Lord? Why did you swoop down on the [c]spoil, and do evil in the sight of the Lord?” 20 And Saul said to Samuel, “But I have obeyed the voice of the Lord, and gone on the mission on which the Lord sent me, and brought back Agag king of Amalek; I have utterly destroyed the Amalekites. 21 But the people took of the plunder, sheep and oxen, the best of the things which should have been utterly destroyed, to sacrifice to the Lord your God in Gilgal.” 22 So Samuel said: “Has the Lord as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, As in obeying the voice of the Lord? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, And to heed than the fat of rams. 23 For rebellion is as the sin of [d]witchcraft, And stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. Because you have rejected the word of the Lord, He also has rejected you from being king.” Notice two things going on here. The king blamed the disobedience on the people in essence lying to God about obeying His commandments. Second, he kept twisting his response to say that yes, he did obey God’s commandments ‘for the most part’. (That part is implied but God knows the truth.) Question, do you think Saul was aware of what he was doing? I’m pretty certain he was and when dealing with other people in a situation like this, you usually can talk your way out of the disobedience, but Saul learned quickly he couldn’t talk his way out of this one with Samuel. Then Saul tried another approach. 1 Samuel 15:24-29 NKJV 24 Then Saul said to Samuel, “I have sinned, for I have transgressed the commandment of the Lord and your words, because I feared the people and obeyed their voice. 25 Now therefore, please pardon my sin, and return with me, that I may worship the Lord.”26 But Samuel said to Saul, “I will not return with you, for you have rejected the word of the Lord, and the Lord has rejected you from being kin g over Israel.”27 And as Samuel turned around to go away, Saul seized the edge of his robe, and it tore. 28 So Samuel said to him, “The Lord has torn the kingdom of Israel from you today, and has given it to a neighbor of yours, who is better than you. 29 And also the Strength of Israel will not lie nor relent. For He is not a man, that He should relent.” Saul tried repenting with a lie. By still blaming the people in saying he obeyed their voice vs God’s voice, he said he was sorry but in reality, he still blamed the people and didn’t take responsibility for his sin. Samuel still didn’t fall for the false repentance. Look what happened. God removed Saul from being king over Israel and because Saul realized that it was too late and tried to physically man handled Samuel into accepting his repentance, and ending up tearing his robe, Samuel proclaimed the kingdom will be torn from him. 1 Samuel 15:23 NKJV 23 For rebellion is as the sin of [d]witchcraft, And stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. Because you have rejected the word of the Lord, He also has rejected you from being king.” Because Saul rejected the word of God, God rejected him from being king. Every time you reject God, He rejects you. And some of the things you reject have permanent consequences, such as Saul no longer being king. There are consequences but it’s not too late. Humble yourself and repent. Return to God and heed His Word. Exodus 15:26 NKJV 26 and said, “If you diligently heed the voice of the Lord your God and do what is right in His sight, give ear to His commandments and keep all His statutes, I will put none of the diseases on you which I have brought on the Egyptians. For I am the Lord who heals you.” Romans 10:9-10 NKJV 9 that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. To repent, confess with your mouth and be sincere. Don’t be like Saul. Say this out loud: Dear Jesus, forgive me of my sins and come into my heart and be my Lord and savior. I’m sorry that I’ve disobeyed Your Word but I choose to no longer do that. In Jesus’ Name, Amen! Now seek God’s Word and find out what His commandments are so you can walk in obedience. Note, you’re still responsible in ignorance. And don’t depend on people or non-biblical sources to tell you what God’s commandments are. Find out direct from the source – The Bible. And once you find out, obey them. Once you place God’s commandments first in the center of your life, everything lines up. Blessings come your way and God says He knows you. Does God know who you are? If He knows you, you’re protected. Psalm 91:1-16 NKJV He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. 2 I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress; My God, in Him I will trust.” 3 Surely He shall deliver you from the snare of the [a]fowler And from the perilous pestilence. 4 He shall cover you with His feathers, And under His wings you shall take refuge; His truth shall be your shield and [b]buckler. 5 You shall not be afraid of the terror by night, Nor of the arrow that flies by day, 6 Nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness, Nor of the destruction that lays waste at noonday. 7 A thousand may fall at your side, And ten thousand at your right hand; But it shall not come near you. 8 Only with your eyes shall you look, And see the reward of the wicked. 9 Because you have made the Lord, who is my refuge, Even the Most High, your dwelling place, 10 No evil shall befall you, Nor shall any plague come near your dwelling; 11 For He shall give His angels charge over you, To keep you in all your ways. 12 In their hands they shall [c]bear you up, Lest you [d]dash your foot against a stone. 13 You shall tread upon the lion and the cobra, The young lion and the serpent you shall trample underfoot. 14 “Because he has set his love upon Me, therefore I will deliver him; I will [e]set him on high, because he has known My name. 15 He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him and honor him. 16 With [f]long life I will satisfy him, And show him My salvation.” Previous Next Home

COMPASSION The objective of this message is to teach believers the biblical mandate and spiritual power of compassion. It emphasizes that compassion is more than simply being “nice”—it is an act of obedience to God, rooted in forgiveness, mercy, and love, and modeled by Jesus Christ. The teaching seeks to equip believers to extend compassion not only to those who are easy to love, but also to those who do evil, demonstrating God’s heart and opening doors for salvation and transformation. < Back COMPASSION Minister Lisa Kane February 1, 2024 Objective: The objective of this message is to teach believers the biblical mandate and spiritual power of compassion. It emphasizes that compassion is more than simply being “nice”—it is an act of obedience to God, rooted in forgiveness, mercy, and love, and modeled by Jesus Christ. The teaching seeks to equip believers to extend compassion not only to those who are easy to love, but also to those who do evil, demonstrating God’s heart and opening doors for salvation and transformation. Synopsis: In this message, Lisa Kane opens with Zechariah 7:9 to show that compassion is both a command and an actionable response of mercy toward others. She contrasts being “nice” with true compassion, which requires intentional forgiveness and obedience to God’s Word. Drawing from scriptures such as Micah 7:18–20, Psalm 78, and Jude 20–23, she explains how God repeatedly shows compassion despite humanity’s rebellion, and how believers are called to reflect that same mercy in their relationships and prayers. Lisa stresses that compassion is central to intercession, particularly for leaders, nations, and even those engaged in evil, because Jesus loves them just as much as He loves His followers. She provides examples from the life of Jesus (Matthew 9:36, 14:14, 15:32), highlighting how compassion moved Him to heal, provide, and guide. The message also explores the consequences of unforgiveness, the blessings of obedience, and the urgency of praying compassionately for others so they may come to salvation before the end of the Gentile age. Ultimately, this teaching calls believers to embrace compassion as the foundation of forgiveness, to intercede with love for others—including enemies—and to allow the Holy Spirit to cultivate compassion within them. It closes with a prayer for believers to live out compassion through word, deed, and heartfelt intercession, demonstrating Christ’s mercy in a hurting world. Inspired Teaching: Hello and welcome to the House of Faith Ministries. I'm Lisa Kaine. I'm recording this message on Thursday, February 1st, 20124. Welcome. This message is called Compassion. Let's open up in a word of prayer. Father God, we thank you for your word. We thank you for your blessings and your favor upon your word. And we pray that we hear your word, apply your word, live by your word. And we pray that your compassions, your mercy, and your love overflows the cup within us, Father God, and that it just pours out on those around us and that we minister to those with love and compassion. In the glorious name of Jesus, we pray. Amen. And amen. Amen. Let's open uh let's go to our opening scripture here. Compassion is what this message is called. Zechariah 79. Thus speaketh the Lord of hosts saying execute true judgment and show mercy and compassions every man to his brother. Now I do have another message prepared that I was going to do today and the Lord speaking through my father basically. So we need to to talk on this message. One of the things that I've noticed and observe and this is what my father and I were talking about was as Christians get together and we talk about society in general or government or things of this nature. I heard a pastor just say the other day, you know, we need to be nice. Well, being nice is one thing, but being compassionate is another. And this really made an impression on my heart because we should be praying in forgiveness, which is what I've been teaching. You can go look at the empowering prayers. We added 13 new prayers to that prayer list and how you can put your name or put something in there and just pray that prayer and watch the spirit realm uh move on your behalf because you're forgiving and you're letting go. Well, we need to pray and have compassion for those even doing evil. We don't want to have compassion on them, believe you and me. But the key here is that Jesus loves them just as much as he loves me, just as much as he loves you. So, this is why we need to have compassion. So, let's go back to that opening scripture now and take a look at it in depth. Says, "Thus speaketh the Lord of hosts." So, this is from the father. This is the Lord telling us what how to have compassion, execute true judgment or pronounce sentence and then show or to do make mercy or kindness and compassion which is to love, mercy, pity every man to his brother. Now I want you to see that this is an actionable verb for you. says to do or to make mercy and compassions means you have to take the initiative whether you want to or not. It's called obedience and that's what we have to do. That is what the Lord is asking us to do. Now of course he's talking to Israel there but he's talking to everyone and in any time frame and we we live in what's called the fullness of the Gentiles. We are in the grace period and it is the Gentiles that are teaching and preaching uh to the world the redemption of our Lord Jesus that he pardoned everybody's sins and because he has done that we're to share the good news so that everybody knows everyone's sin is forgiven them. This is what's so powerful and if you really want to get technical I taught a couple of messages ago about the Holy Spirit and blaspheming the Holy Spirit. So go back and look at that teaching. I I don't want to drift off in that direction and repeat myself here. I want to show you what it is to have compassion for these that we see doing evil. You know, we're not any better than them. The fact is is that we just humbled ourselves before the Lord and we're just going to the Lord, but we're still in the flesh, but he has forgiven us. And that differentiates us from them and their actions are still sinning. And some people who haven't pressed into the Lord, but have called on the Lord, aren't forgiving and aren't living in forgiveness either. So, you're bringing yourself into curses from God and his heavenly realm simply because you're not choosing to forgive and let go. Well, we need to be doing this and we need to be doing this for the leadership around the world. Nobody's perfect. And even if you were a leader, I'm sure we can find something wrong with you. It's just the reality of it. Go look at the um revelation at chapters 2, three, or three and four anyway, right in that area. And look at the seven letters to the seven churches. Every single one of them except for one. They all say, "I still have something against you." So you did this, this was good, this was good, but I still have this against you. So with that in mind, let that generate the compassion because you should be recognizing that Jesus loves you and he's forgiving you. Okay? If he's going to do that for you, then we need to to do it for others. Otherwise, he's not going to do it for you. And he's clear on scripture with that. Let's go to our next scripture. Micah 7:18-20. Who is a God like unto thee that pardoneeth iniquity, and passeth by the transgression of the remnant of his heritage? He retainth not his anger forever, because he delightth in mercy. He will turn again. He will have compassion upon us. He will subdue our iniquities, and thou wilt cast all their sins into the depths of the sea. Now obviously this is talking about Jesus prophesied by the prophet Micah but show look at what he shows us. This is this is powerful. He is saying pardon it. He lifts us. He bears our iniquity. He took it on the cross. He was a man who knew no sin who took sin on the cross and God turned his face against him. I you know we don't understand and we can't comprehend what that moment must have felt like. But one thing we know for certain is that Jesus did it because he loved us. And that is something we have to keep forefront in our mind. And he passes. Look at this. It's a crossover, the transgression. So here here's another I just finished teaching on another Passover shown uh for the end times in the wedding part two. Now watch this. When you are saved, the blood of Jesus covers you. It it covers the lentil and the doorpost of you. So all the spirit of destruction, this the curses that come against a non-believer, they are crossed over, passed over us. They cannot affect us. They cannot get to us. Isn't that incredible? And he's showing it here in Micah. He says, "Who is this God?" And he passes over the transgression. And look at that transgression. Revolt, rebellion. Oh man, if you're not forgiving, let's say Biden or Trump, whichever side you're on. If you're not forgiving them, you're in rebellion because God told us to forgive them. He forgave you. You need to forgive them. And this is where the compassion comes upon. I'm going to show you what Jesus did with compassion in a little bit, but I want to show you. I want to go into the rest of this. So of the remnant uh which is the remainder residual portion of his heritage, he retainth not his anger forever because he delightth in mercy. He wants to give you mercy. He wants that for you and he wants you to accept it. It's up to you whether you want to accept it or not. And I'm praying that you do because we need to have compassion for those around us because if he loved us, he loves them just as much as he loves us. Hallelujah. And look at that second verse. He will turn again. This is God turning back, retreating from the destruction. He's going to have compassion, which is that love, mercy, pity upon us. Look at this. He's going to trod down and disregard our iniquities. And then he's going to cast them out and the sins, the offenses into the depths of the sea. Boop. He just throws it all out. That's incredible. That is absolutely so powerful. It's incredible. But look at verse 20. Thou wil perform the truth to Jacob and the mercy to Abraham which thou has sworn unto our fathers from the days of old. God keeps his promises and he promised Abraham that he would do this. So he's saying, I'm going to give you truth which is stability and certainty with kindness and favor because he promised it. That is for us. That is the compassion that he's showing us. Now, can you be like Jesus? Can you be like God? Let's look in Psalm 78. The wrath or the anger or the rapid breathing of God came upon them and slew. He smite with him dead. He smite them with deadly intent. That's what that word slew means. And the fattest of them and smokeote down he bent them at the knee the chosen men of Israel. Go look at Israel's history through the Bible and you will find the leadership that was evil and they were dispersed, broken apart. God slew, smite many of them and then kept a remnant because he was trying to show them this is what happens when you do evil. This is what happens when you do good. and he was showing. So it kept going back and forth until finally he dispersed Israel throughout the entire world. Continuing on verse 32, for all this they sinned. They missed the and they still continue to miss and believed not which that believe there means to build up support. They didn't believe in their support for his wondrous works which that separated and distinguished them. I mean he made a very clear distinguished type of lifestyle from generation to generation based on good kings and evil kings. He showed the history. He showed the consequences. It's all there. Do you want to go and look at it and find out what the truth is? Do you want to continue to accept evil? Do you want to be deceived? I bet you if there was a remnant of prophets uh bes or besides the prophets of the priest and just even ordinary people that were going to God praying for their leader. There might have been a different outcome for each one. And you can take a look at individuals. Look at Nehemiah. Look at Ezra. These are men of God, prophets that went before the Lord and humbled themselves before the Lord and asked for forgiveness. And Jesus hadn't even showed up yet. Yet God forgave them and gave them Jerusalem back. They rebuilt the city, the temple the second time. And as it rebuilt the second time, it was sadness for those that had seen the first temple, but praise and glory for those that didn't see the first temple, but that God was there to redeem them. And they knew. And this it was all there. It was all there. And yet they still went scattered abroad. Verse 33. Therefore their days which is the hot warm hours sunrise to sunset did he consume or to end to finish in emptiness vanity and their years revolution in time in trouble pan and basically they're saying you know what here you've been going day by day by day by day doing the same thing over and over again which is emptiness is vanity you keep doing it you're consuming yourself with that when if you just humbled yourself before the Lord had a little compassion showed compassion to others because Jesus showed compassion to you. Your life would be different. Now the question I have for you is do you want your life different or are you content with your life? Are you afraid that ch that God is going to change your life into something that's misery? I promise you it is not misery. Let's continue on in Psalm 7 78. We're in verse 34. When he slew them with deadly intent, then they sought to follow him and they returned and inquired early after God. Now, here's what happened. He killed off some of them. And then all of a sudden, everyone realized this is Israel. There is a God. I'm sorry, Lord. And they they came back to God and called on God. But when they had good times, they didn't even think of God at all. But they inquired of God every time they had a a panic, destructive issue they were facing. But God, that's how that's how he got his his attention. Are you facing panic, destructive forces at you every day? Uh life is hell on earth. You are going through torment. Well, guess what? You are free if you humble yourself before the Lord. Amen. Amen. Let's continue on. Because see, they inquired early after God. Verse 35. And they remembered or Mark made mark and mentioned that God was their rock, a cliff, and the high. He was elevated God. their redeemer, which by the way, that word redeemer means next to kim buy back a relative's property. The the Jubilee is an example of this, and they had given it up. But every 50 years, if during that 50 years, someone who had their land had to sell it because they had to live. Well, at the end of 50 years, the person they sold it to was supposed to give it back to them. Everything was supposed to restart. It's not a concept that we today are familiar with, but that was what God was teaching the Israelites to do. And by the way, they failed at that. And they didn't like it because, well, they didn't want to give it back. But God is saying, have compassion. Do what you're supposed to do. Be obedient. And then watch God move in your life. And he's going to bless you and bless you richly and abundantly. Not just financially, but man. Amen. You can have no money but have still joy in your heart. Be at peace and comfort in your days because you are with God. That is for you if you choose to want it. By the way, that also includes financial blessings too. God will never let his anointed, his beloved, anyone who is serving him, that remnant, he will never let you in uh in anywhere of a financial destitute situation. He will never he will never let you get into that situation. Amen. Let's continue on here. Verse 36. Nevertheless, they did flatter him with their mouth, and they lied unto him with their tongues. They weren't serious. They remembered him. They marked him. They went to him. But their heart was not filled with compassion. Verse 37, for their heart, their feelings, their intellect was not right, wasn't erect. It didn't stand with him. Neither were they steadfast. They didn't build up or support in his covenant. That covenant, by the way, means cutting, passing between two pieces of flesh. Remember when God put Abraham into a deep sleep, Abraham had cut up two pieces of flesh, plus the birds and whatever he had around there and a smoke stack, God walked through him. That's how you did a covenant. But he put Abraham to sleep. He says, "Nothing you need to do, Abraham. Nothing you need to do. I'm going to make a co covenant with you. Now, if you want, I want you to come serve me. I want you to believe in me. I want you to have compassion like me. but I will save you if I have to go to hell myself to get you. And that's exactly the promise that God has for us. And by the way, he does do that. There are many people who testify that they had died, went to hell, and then God got him out of hell. You see, and then brought him back to life because God is talking to them. The Holy Spirit is trying to get their attention. And sometimes you have to do that with the fear of the Lord. Jude's going to show that us to us here in a few minutes. But look at verse 38. But he being full of compassion. This is God full of compassion. He's merciful for gay. Look at that. He put his covering over the iniquity, our perversity, our faults and are d and destroy, decay, ruin, cast off them not. He didn't destroy them. Yeah. Many a time turned his anger away. And he did not stir up or wake his wrath or all of his wrath, his feet or anger. He chose to have self-control filled with compassion. Now imagine if you did that. Imagine if I did that. Imagine what the world would be like if there's a hundred of us doing that. A thousand of us. A million of us. Imagine what the world would be like. And yet we still feed on milk instead of the meat of the word as Paul says because we do not submit and put that wrath, put that anger down and humble ourselves and have compassion and forgive. Oh ho ho, this is awesome. Verse 39, for he remembered. You see God marked and mentioned that they were but flesh. He remembered there a wind a breath that passeth away that walks and departs and cometh not again. He remembered what condition we're in. We're in the flesh. He remembered it. And out of that, he said, "I'm going to have compassion on that." This is why he sent his only begotten son, Jesus. Because he loves us so much. And he's asking us to have that compassion. So, if you're a teacher or a preacher, you're up on a stage and you've got a following or you're on the internet, you have a following, you need to be teaching compassion and forgiveness over those are enemies, over terrorism, over Hamas, Hezbollah, any anti-semitic person. You need to be showing mercy and compassion for them because what if you forgave them and Jesus forgives them and then the Holy Spirit comes in and works in their heart softening it and they repent. There was that testimony of over 200 men who had a dream, 200 Hamas men who had a dream of the same man. And they went to the missionaries next door and asked, "Who is this man?" And they said, "Well, that's Jesus." And they said, "Tell us more." And they believed. They repented. Now, imagine if our government leadership would repent. Now, if they don't, what if we're praying over the upcoming elections and we're asking because we're humbling ourselves before the Lord and the Lord gives us anything we ask for. What if we ask for a godly, righteous person to replace that person? What then would our government be like? Listen, I know that God's end is coming and I know that he is doing the things that he's doing, but that doesn't stop me from being obedient and praying for change, a better government, a a government that serves us as if they serve the Lord. Amen. We can do that. And that is what our calling is. God's going to do his thing no matter what. Okay? But I promise you, if you're obedient and doing your part, it's working right. And we can see a lot more people saved, which is the the goal of the time we're in. As I said earlier, the fullness of the Gentiles, that's coming to an end. That completes when that complete. We need to get as many saved, as many into the bridal party, as many into the supper feast with the Lord. We need to into the wedding party, into the wedding feast. Get as many as we can. That means we have to pray hard and fast hard for those that are stubborn. They're stiff necked. But if we're praying, we pray and ask the Holy Spirit and the strong angels to go and soften their hearts. He reaches them at the level that they're at because it's not by might nor by power, but by his spirit, says the Lord. Amen. Look at how Jude says this. This is very powerful. This is the the message of the gospel here that I'm showing you. And this is what we're to do. Now look at Jude. Uh there's only one chapter verses 20- 23. But ye beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, your persuasion credence, praying in the Holy Ghost. You see, we're to pray in the spirit. And notice what we're praying in faith. What is that persuading credence? You know what? I pray for people that are blaspheming the Holy Spirit. And I know that the Lord said he's not going to forgive. And I said, 'Lord, and I'm being kind of like Moses. Wait, Lord, forgive him one more time. Let's hope that they can be saved. That's what I'm doing. One more time, Lord. And I do it every day. One more time, Lord. Please, let's let's try to get them. Holy Spirit going. Don't give up on them. That's the compassion that the Lord has placed in my heart for those people. And that's what I've been called to pray for. One of the things I pray for. Are you praying for these people? Just maybe your brother-in-law, sister-in-law, your daughter-in-law, your daughter, your children, your your spouse. Maybe, just maybe, God will change them if you just simply say, "Lord, forgive me and I forgive them and I ask you to forgive them." And boy, the spirit of God will break through. That is a promise. And he's telling us here, Judah is saying, you're building yourselves up on that faith. You're persuading. You see, you're persuading him in your prayers. What? That we need to save them, Lord. That's your goal. I'm here to pray with you. I'm joining with you. You're persuading him. Amen. Verse 21. Keep. You got to watch. You got to guard yourself in the love, which is the affection and the benevolence of God, looking for the mercy, compassion of our Lord Jesus unto eternal or perpetual life. This is what we need to be walking in. that compassion from God. He's telling us straight up keep watch guard over yourself. Let yourself have that compassion because that is what God is calling us to be. And it's a strong fight because there is prophecy by Jesus that says love will grow cold. So we are self-driven in this time and age that we're in. But God, you see, if you're humbling yourself, the spirit of God is going to move. And if we had a day of Pentecost back then, we can have another day of Pentecost now. Amen. Amen. Verse 22. And some have compassion, mercy by word or deed, making a difference, separate thoroughly, and others save, deliver, or protect with fear, pulling them out of the fire, hating even the garment spotted for the flesh. Now you see, he's showing a distinguish between the two. You're going to save some with your actions. Taking advantage of forgiving, saying, "I forgive you. Don't worry about it. You're you're good. You're okay. And that way you bring peace and comfort to them. But then there are others. You got to save with fire. And Judah's telling us this. You've got to kind of frighten them and the Holy Spirit does that. I know a person who came to me one time years ago who said he had a dream the devil was chasing him. And I said, "Well, then God has your back and let's pray that you're walking in salvation and mercy." But that Holy Spirit had to get him from that kind of a dream. There's a distinct difference. And see, this is you walking in the spirit of discernment. This is you walking now with the right words of mercy and forgiveness for the Lord. Amen. Amen. Amen. Hallelujah. This is you praying and you can have the victory of your loved ones. I know you have loved ones that you struggle with. Every one of us have loved ones like that. Every one of us have friends like that. Sometimes we fall apart, drift apart. But God and prayer, are you praying? Are you praying? It's time to take the time to pray and to distinguish the difference and to watch the Holy Spirit move in their lives. And you will see it cuz they're going to come to you out of the blue. They come to you. And I've seen it just from personal experience. Amen. Let's go look at 1 Corinthians chapter 3. We're going to read verses 11 through 15. For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid which is Jesus Christ. You see all of this is based on Jesus. Jesus says I'm the way, the truth, and the life. No man comes to the father except through me. And Jesus says that everything he did he did because he saw his father do it. So he does what his father does. Now if I do everything that Jesus did, I'm doing everything the father did. And I'm walking in alignment under the three and with the Holy Spirit, the four of us. And we're moving through the spirit by praying. And the Holy Spirit is going to tell me what to pray for. And he's going to show me. And as I pray and I take it and I proved to God in faith, listen Lord, I fasted for this person. I atone for them. And I forgave them. And I know you have forgiven them. So Lord, I'm expecting victory. I'm expecting a breakthrough. And I'm telling you, Lord, that accuser, he lied and he has no forgiveness. And you see, this is what you do when you go to the courtroom of God. This is my next teaching I'm going to have here, hopefully that I get to get out. But you get to go back up to God and say, "He lied. I'm taking back my loved ones that he lied to, deceived, and stole from the kingdom of God." Well, I'm in the kingdom of God, and I'm marching out. I'm taking them back because he belongs to the Lord. Do you love your loved ones and have that much compassion to go fight for them? Oh, now that's a serious question. Let's continue on. Now, if any man build upon this foundation, gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble, and every man's work, his toil as effort, shall be made manifest. For the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed, or to take the cover off by fire, and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is. If any man's work abide, it stays. it it dwells there which he hath built upon it survived the fire in other words which he hath built thereupon he shall receive or take his reward if any man's work shall be burned consumed holy he shall suffer loss to injure experience detriment but he himself shall be saved delivered protected healed preserved yet so as by fire you see our goal here as believers in Christ is to get as many people saved as possible have them confess the name of Jesus. Romans 10:9 says that if you confess Jesus with your mouth that he is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. We need to get as many doing that. Now, some are going to walk away. They're going to choose to go live their own life. They're going to build their kingdom up with hay and stubble and wood. But when the fire comes to them, they enter into judgment before the Lord. All that's going to burn away and it's going to mean nothing. But did you see what Paul says here, but he himself shall be saved. Yes. So by his fire. And then there are others like me. I hope that spending time with the Lord and taking the initiative to go and pray for these people and let the spirit of God move. Well then whatever gold and silver I put there, it will handle it. It'll handle the fire. And I when that judgment goes through, those things will be sitting there around me. And I thank God for that. But the most important thing I thank God for is his compassion on me and for what he has done for me and what he can do for you. Because this is the compassion that we need to have for our loved ones to show them that God is real and that he saves. I want to show you uh three different scriptures, many many more of Jesus having compassion in that moment. Look at this. Look at his example. Matthew 9:36. But when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with compassion, which means to have the bowels yearn on them because they fainted and were scattered abroad as sheep having no shepherd. Here's one example. Look at this example. Matthew 14:14. And Jesus went forth and saw a great multitude and was moved with compassion toward them and he healed their sick. This is a different event in history here. He had compassion. Here's a third one. Then Jesus called his disciples. This is Matthew 15:32. Then Jesus called his disciples unto him and said, "I have compassion on the multitude because they continue with me now three days and have nothing to eat. And I will not send them away fasting unless they faint in the way." He, this is when he went and broke bread and the fish and fed the 5,000 and the 7,000. You can see these are different. He had compassion on the people. He has compassion on each and every one of us. The question is, do you have compassion? Do you really want your loved ones saved? You might hate them right now and it's simply because you hate them because of the circumstance and the situation whatever you find is there but because of the compassion that you should have because the Lord has given it to you that is what should go forth for you from you forgiving because you have the compassion on them. We need to have compassion on the leadership around the world. We need to have our compassion on pastors who mess up. We need to have compassion on our neighbors who mess up. We need to have compassion on ourselves because we mess up. So compassion is the driving force toward that forgiveness. It's a yearning within our soul that we need to release. And if you can't have that, all you have to do is say, "Lord, help me have compassion because I want to forgive. I want to let go." And you know what? It gets easier and easier with time. And the Holy Spirit will manifest compassion within your heart and your soul. If you truly want to pursue that, he will do it. And I pray that you do. Amen. Let's close in a word of prayer. Father God, we thank you for your word. We thank you for your blessings upon this word. And Father God, we thank you for your anointing, your gloriousness, your faithfulness. And Lord, we pray and ask for the spirit of compassion to be within our souls and that we speak compassion. we show compassion and that we do it with our acts, with our deeds, and we do it with our heart and we do it with prayer and we do it with love, Father God. And that the mercy that you have goes forth trailing that compassion through the Holy Spirit and through the strong angels breaking forces down, breaking walls down, breaking hatred down, breaking anger, bitterness, and breaking unforgiveness. Father God, thank you Lord for the victories that we're going to have here in our loved ones. In the name of Jesus, we pray. Amen. Amen. Amen. God bless you. I will see you in the next message. Bye-bye. Previous Next Home

SALVATION OVERCOMES To reveal that true salvation, found only in Jesus Christ, empowers believers to overcome sin, adversity, and the deception of evil. Through faith, confession, and trust in the Lord, salvation becomes not only the key to eternal life but also the strength, peace, and victory that sustain us in this present world. SALVATION OVERCOMES Minister Lisa Kane November 5, 2025 Objective: To reveal that true salvation, found only in Jesus Christ, empowers believers to overcome sin, adversity, and the deception of evil. Through faith, confession, and trust in the Lord, salvation becomes not only the key to eternal life but also the strength, peace, and victory that sustain us in this present world. Synopsis: Salvation Overcomes draws from Psalm 37 and other key scriptures to show that the distinguishing mark of the righteous is their trust in the Lord’s salvation. While the wicked may appear to prosper, their end is destruction; the salvation of the upright, however, brings peace and divine strength. Minister Lisa Kane teaches that the experience of salvation walk of confession, partnership with Christ, and faith in Christ causes the believer to overcome in any situation including death. Through passages such as Romans 10, 2 Corinthians 6, and Ephesians 1, she reveals that believers are sealed by the Holy Spirit, strengthened in times of trouble, and called to live lives worthy of the gospel. By declaring and living in the reality that “salvation is of the Lord,” we rise above adversity, reflect God’s glory, and demonstrate that through Christ we are more than conquerors—for truly, Salvation Overcomes. Inspired Teaching - Written and/or Transcribed from Video Above: Psalm 37:37-40 NKJV 37 Mark the blameless man, and observe the upright; For the future of that man is peace. 38 But the transgressors shall be destroyed together; The future of the wicked shall be cut off. 39 But the salvation of the righteous is from the Lord; He is their strength in the time of trouble. 40 And the Lord shall help them and deliver them; He shall deliver them from the wicked, And save them, Because they trust in Him. Ahhh…to be saved. Salvation makes the difference between a person living and walking in evil ways to a person living and walking in salvation. Salvation is from the Lord and we can choose to live by that salvation by choosing good. This decision allows us to be strong when it seems like evil is winning. I encourage you to read all of Psalm 37 as it makes a distinct difference between walking in salvation or being an evildoer. Acts 4:12 NKJV 12 Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.” Salvation comes from our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. He died on the cross to redeem us of our sins. Without that, we cannot be saved. With this salvation, we can choose to live godly lives and with that decision we overcome. Remember our opening scriptures: Psalm 37:37-38 NKJV 37 Mark the blameless man, and observe the upright; For the future of that man is peace. 38 But the transgressors shall be destroyed together; The future of the wicked shall be cut off. Those choosing Christ salvation lives in peace and the wicked shall be cut off. It is an understanding frustration when we see the wicked prosper and seem successful but remember, we have something much better and lasting throughout the ages – salvation from the Lord. Romans 10:10 NKJV 10 For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. And it takes speaking with our mouth, confession made unto salvation. I’ve taught this before that it is our mouth that makes the difference in how we walk in salvation, or deliverance over anything we face. We can declare Jesus is Lord over anything by reading verse 9: Romans 10:9 NKJV 9 that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. This is what saves us. We need to speak out loud. 2 Corinthians 6:1-2 NKJV We then, as workers together with Him also plead with you not to receive the grace of God in vain. 2 For He says: “In an acceptable time I have heard you, And in the day of salvation I have helped you.” Behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation. You can see from 2 Corinthians 6:1 that we work together – we speak God’s word and partner with our heavenly Father to not walk in vain, pride, or anything opposite salvation from the Lord. Today is the day of salvation. Ephesians 1:13-14 NKJV 13 In Him you also trusted, after you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation; in whom also, having believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise, 14 who[d] is the [e]guarantee of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, to the praise of His glory. This salvation places a seal over our lives guaranteeing our inheritance, in which we overcome. THANK YOU HEAVENLY FATHER! Jonah 2:9 NKJV 9 But I will sacrifice to You With the voice of thanksgiving; I will pay what I have vowed. Salvation is of the Lord.” While Jonah was in the belly of the fish, he cried out declaring salvation is of the Lord. It’s important to remember that in times of trouble, where it seems like there is nothing else we can do, we cry out to the Lord and declare salvation over that situation. Psalm 3:8 NKJV 8 Salvation belongs to the Lord. Your blessing is upon Your people. Selah Psalm 37:38 NKJV 39 But the salvation of the righteous is from the Lord; He is their strength in the time of trouble. Remembering salvation becomes a strength we draw on. Psalm 68:20 KJV 20 He that is our God is the God of salvation; and unto GOD the Lord belong the issues from death. You see salvation isn’t just overcoming death, it overcomes anything we face. We walk in peace…remember our opening scripture: Psalm 37:37 37 Mark the blameless man, and observe the upright; For the future of that man is peace. So, yes, our eternity in heaven is something to always look forward to but we can see God overcome current issues we face in the now. Philippians 1:27-30 NKJV 27 Only let your conduct be worthy of the gospel of Christ, so that whether I come and see you or am absent, I may hear of your affairs, that you stand fast in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel, 28 and not in any way terrified by your adversaries, which is to them a proof of perdition, but [f]to you of salvation, and that from God. 29 For to you it has been granted on behalf of Christ, not only to believe in Him, but also to suffer for His sake, 30 having the same conflict which you saw in me and now hear is in me. Knowing our salvation is from the Lord and choosing to walk in it, that becomes worthy of the gospel of Christ. This causes us to be a demonstration of what salvation can do for us. People will see the difference between evildoers and believers in Christ, and which one you represent. 1 Thessalonians 5:8-9 NKJV 8 But let us who are of the day be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love, and as a helmet the hope of salvation. 9 For God did not appoint us to wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ, God made salvation for us. Let’s choose to walk in that salvation and avoid the upcoming wrath set for the evildoers. Romans 8:37 NKJV 37 Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. After all, we are more than conquerors because Salvation overcomes. Home Previous Next
