WHO PAID THE WAGES Minister Lisa Kane September 3, 2023 Objective: The objective of this message is to help believers understand the profound truth of Romans 6:23: that the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ. The teaching emphasizes that every person inherits sin and owes a debt they cannot pay, yet Jesus Christ, the Word made flesh, willingly paid that debt in full. Through this message, listeners are called to recognize Jesus not only as Savior but also as Creator and Redeemer, who offers true freedom and eternal life to all who believe. Synopsis: In this message, Who Paid the Wages?, Lisa Kane of House of Faith Ministries explores the meaning of Romans 6:23, revealing the depth of God’s love and the sacrifice of Jesus Christ. From Adam and Eve’s fall into sin to the present day, humanity has carried a debt of death that only Christ could pay. Jesus, who was with God in the beginning as the living Word, entered His creation through the virgin birth, lived without sin, and gave His life on the cross as the perfect sacrifice. The teaching highlights prophecies from Isaiah and the fulfillment through John the Baptist’s ministry, pointing to Jesus as the long-awaited Messiah. Scriptures such as 1 John 3 and Isaiah 40 affirm that abiding in Christ brings transformation, freedom from sin, and even the slowing of spiritual “aging” as believers walk in His presence. Kane stresses that knowing who Jesus truly is—not just as a prophet but as Creator and Redeemer—brings a deeper, life-changing relationship with Him. The message concludes with encouragement from Hebrews and Corinthians, declaring victory over death through Christ. Believers are reminded that in Christ there is no more fear, no debt, and no sting of death—only freedom, eternal life, and the joy of a daily relationship with the One who paid the wages of sin once and for all. Inspired Teaching: Hello and welcome to the House of Faith Ministries. I'm Lisa Kane. I'm recording this on Sunday, September 3rd, 2023. Welcome. This message is called Who Paid the Wages? Let's open up in a word of prayer. Father God, we thank you for your word. We thank you for your presence. We thank you for your awesomeness, man. Thank you, Jesus, for following your your father, for being obedient to your father's will, for laying down your life for us. And then thank you God for giving him his father his life back. Thank you father for giving him his life back. And Lord I ask for your words to speak through me as this is what my fifth or sixth time already starting this message. Thank you father god for being with me and letting your anointing come through here and thank you for your favor and blessings. I pray for the person that's watching this video, Father God. And I pray that their ears are open, their eyes are open, they see and hear. And I play pray that they their hearts are open and softened and that they receive. And I pray that their minds are open to believe and to get to know you a little bit more of who you are because man, you are magnificent, holy, and awesome. Thank you, Lord. In the name of Jesus. Amen. Amen. Amen. Let's go to our opening scriptures here. Romans 6:23. For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. I use this scripture a lot when I'm teaching. And usually, especially about the wages of sin is death. You know, there's a mystery there. You know, the more time you spend with God, the less you're aging. And I'm going to show you all the scriptures and how this all connects together. But I use this. But what I want to talk about today is showing you the one who paid those sins. See, go back to the days of Adam. And when he and his wife Eve sinned, they were deceived. They fell. Ever since then, every person born is born automatically into sin where we already owe a debt. And yes, that's infants. Now God has children taken care of. There is an age of an accountability as between God and that child. So no worries. God has the children covered and protected. But once we get to that stage of accountability, we do face um the the sin that is in our lives. We have sinned. Everyone's sin. You know, we've all fallen short of the glory of God. And as a result, we owe a debt that we cannot pay. But Jesus obeyed his father and said he would do it. In fact, it's clearly identified in this opening scripture. It says, "But the gift of God is eternal life in who? Christ Jesus our Lord." So he's the one who paid the wages. Now in order to understand that, you know, everybody hears about Jesus. Oh yeah, Jesus has that nice good prophet. That doesn't mean everybody believes in him. Nor do they really understand the magnificent the holiness and who he is cuz he's been there. You know, if you take a look at everything around you, your desk, your walls, whatever it is that you have around you, it's not going to be there forever. But the word of God has been there from the beginning and it will last forever because Jesus is the one who is the spoken word. He said let there be light and there was light. God called it good. If you go back to Genesis, go back to John 1 verse one. In the beginning was the word and the word was with God. So Jesus the word was with God in the beginning. So, now that you've got an understanding of this, we're going to delve into who is this magnificent being because this is where things get a little interesting. And I want you to see something here about the wages of sin. It has to do with sin. You're in sin. You owe a debt. But there is a transformation that takes a place takes the place in a believer who wants to change. There are many many people who just go to church and they're satisfied with that. But let's get to know who this Jesus is. Because once I think once you understand the magnitude of him and his abilities, it's going to make some major changes in your life. 1 John 3 5 and 6. And you know that he was manifested to take away our sins, and in him there is no sin. Whoever abides in him does not sin. And whoever sins has neither seen him nor known him. Are you a believer who still goes out and sins? Do you really know who Jesus is? Cuz my guess is you don't because you're still sinning. Look at what it says here. You know that he was manifested to take away our sins and in him there is no sin. The wages of sin is death. So when you abide in Jesus, I've been teaching on this for now a handful of years. When you spend your time with Jesus, you're not sinning because you can't sin in front of Jesus. And because you're not sinning, you're no longer aging. I want you to get this. When Adam was created, he was created perfect. So was Eve. They were made perfect the way God made them. They were not aging. There is no age for them. They were fully mature adults created. What came first, the chicken or the egg? Well, the chicken had to because when you have an infant or um the hatching of an egg, the little hatchling, I'm going to tell you right now, they don't know what to do. Now, there are some creatures here on our planet that know instinctively what to do from birth, but not all are that way. Humans are not that way. We have to take care of our babies. So there had to be a creator who came first and that magnificence of him is there and he's the one who did not have aging going on initially. It was the perfect euphoria uh uh the perfect atmosphere for Adam and Eve. But then they went and disobeyed God and they sinned. And ever since then we've all fallen short of the glory of God. And the only way to get it back is to have this one person, the gift of life, Jesus Christ, pay the wages of that sin. So, how did that happen? And who is this? And how can you do it? I mean, you think about it like this. If Jesus is the one that was there in the beginning and he said, "Let there be light." And we know that he is because in the beginning was the word, God. Jesus, the word Jesus, and he was with God in the beginning. So when you put those two together, all of a sudden now you come into this powerful being created this whole earth and then he was born by a virgin that he not only came in born that way, he entered his creation. Have you ever made um a tent out of boxes, cardboard boxes or even sheets and blankets? And what happens is they come tumbling down. They will fall if you try to enter them. Sometimes you can secure them pretty good and get in there and hold it up for a while. But there's times you can't enter what you created without destroying it. Yet Jesus entered it. Not only did he enter it, he kept himself from sin. So he separated himself so his blood, that perfect blood, could wash away the sins of the world. And for anyone who wants to believe can accept that pardon. Just straight up accept it. You don't have to do anything else if you don't want to. for God. That's between you and God. Now, I will tell you this much. If you understand who Jesus is and you actually finally let him in and let him transform you, something happens. You you go through a transformation and you begin to find out who Jesus is. You get on this journey. It's an awesome journey. So, let's go back to Isaiah. We're going to be here in Isaiah 43-5. The voice of one crying in the wilderness. Prepare the way of the Lord. make straight in the desert a highway for our God. Every valley shall be exalted and every mountain and hill brought low. The crooked places shall be made straight and the rough places smooth and the glory of the Lord shall be revealed and all flesh shall see it together. For the mouth of the Lord has spoken. Okay, so here's a sign. So Isaiah is prophesying that there's going to be this guy crying in the wilderness. He's going to make the path straight. He's preparing a path. Well, who is this? And was this prophecy fulfilled? Well, it was in all three gospels. Matthew 3:3, Mark 1:3, and Luke 3:4. Look at who this is. This is John the Baptist. For this is he who was spoken of by the prophet Isaiah. Who did we just read? Isaiah 40. Saying the voice of one crying in the wilderness, prepare the way of the Lord. This is not the Lord. He's preparing the way of the Lord. Look at this. He says, "Make his path straight." The voice of one crying in the wilderness, prepare the way of the Lord, make his path straight. And then verse four in Luke 3, as it is written in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet, saying, the voice of one crying in the wilderness, prepare the way of the Lord, make his path straight. So, here comes the God Almighty, son of God. He created the earth. And John the Baptist said, "I'm preparing a way in the wilderness here. I'm making his path straight. Here he comes. So, who is this guy? Because Isaiah, what I I don't even know how many years before. It's thousands maybe, maybe 1500, give or take. I don't know how many years, but he prophesied that John the Baptist would say these things. And guess what? John the Baptist said it and it was recorded in the Gospels. So now you're seeing, okay, well, who was he making the path straight for? And when you realize it had to do with Jesus, oh, the glory of the Lord shall be revealed. So he's telling the nation of Israel, hey, here comes the one crying in the wilderness to let you know this guy's coming. This is the son of God. Remember also Daniel told him when he would be crucified gave the exact year when he would be crucified. The wise men, it's believed Daniel is the one who established the wise men. They knew in the stars to look for the Messiah when he would be born. Guess what? They found him as a toddler. They knew. They knew. And all these signs were being fulfilled right in front of the Pharisees and the Sadducees and they still rejected him. Are you one to reject the son of God, God Almighty? The one who said, "Let there be light and there was light." He paid the wages for your sin. You're a created being. You need to humble yourself before the Lord and realize, "Hey, I was created by him, and I trust in him." Let's go continue on to verse 10 in Isaiah 40. So behold the Lord God shall come with a strong hand and his arm shall rule for him. I I want you to see something very interesting here. Look at this. Okay. So he says will come with a strong hand and his arm shall rule for him. He sacrificed himself on the cross. Do you know how much strength it took for him to be able to get up on that cross knowing full well he can call legions of angels to take him off and yet he still did it. Talk about some self-control. And his arm shall rule for him. Look at this. Behold, his reward is with him. You see the two capital H's there? Jesus reward is with God his father. or God the father's reward is with his son Jesus. It can go both ways. Oh, that's interesting. And his work before him he will and in fact it's since we know that Jesus is the one who said let there be light and there was light. This is the work of Jesus blessed by the father. He will feed his flock like a shepherd. This is Jesus because now we're identified as the sheep and he's the shepherd. He will gather the lambs with his arm and carry them in his bosom and gently lead those who are with young. Who has measured the waters in the hollow of his hand, measured heaven with a span, and calculated the dust of the earth in a measure. Weighed the mountains and scales and the hills in a balance. Whoa, wait a minute. He did what? because we know he created it. And when you think and you know, oh, he created it. All right, that's wonderful. But then you go back out and you look at look outside. Go look at the ocean. Look at what he says here. He me he who has measured the waters in the hollow of his hand. If you see how many oceans there are in the world, how many lakes, you can't see the other side. And that measurement was in the hollow of his hand. This goes back to Genesis chapter 1 again that I taught on. You can go read it u uh on my teaching called creation versus evolution and many other teachings I alluded to in this. But that first chapter of Genesis chapter 1, it's a planning phase. He planned everything. He designed it and then he also had to get and assemble all of the pieces he needed to make the universe. He took water in the palm of his hand, the hollow of his hand. He put it in a bowl. Got some. Look at this. He measured heaven with a span. He had a span there. He says, "Okay, it could be this little or he could have done it like this, but he's outside of the universe." So, he got to measure it with a span. How big is God? How big is Jesus, the son of God, and calculated the dust of the earth in a measure? I don't know about you, but if you're someone like me who does not like dusting, you find as you dust, you dust and you dust and you dust and dust keeps coming back. Where does this dust come from? I mean that I mean we know where it comes from. But here God has the perfect amount of dust in a measure and he put it there on his measuring cup on his workbench. possibly had it in the hollow of his hand. Put it in there. How big, how mighty is this creator? And look at that. Weigh the mountains and scales and the hills in a balance. He had to keep everything perfectly balanced and he did it. Did you know, you know, scientists are finally coming to the realization that there can't be that many planets in the in the solar system like they thought in the universe altogether because they're realizing how perfect everything needed to be. You and I are complex individuals. There is absolutely no way that we could have come from an evolution process because we're complete today. We are complete now. any part of that, any partiality of that fails. Yet here we are complete. Yes, with sin, but with one who paid the wages of our sin. And now we're indebted to him, and we get to come to him. And by the way, being indebted to Jesus is freedom. I'm going to get to that. You're going to love this. So, I'm telling you here, this magnificent being, this God, we call him Yah Jehovah. We call him the son of God. Jesus the Messiah is the one who paid these wages in this earth that he created. Everything is about what he's done and what he's doing for you. And yet he gave you free will to choose. Go watch um Jonathan Khan's latest uh uh teachings uh Josiah Manifesto, the uncensored version, the the DVDs. He's got a a set of eight DVDs there. The timing of everything that he brings to light is absolutely incredible. You know, and and when you're running late and you think you're not in God's time, I'm going to tell you right now, you are in perfect in God's perfect timing the whole time. This is how magnificent this being is. He is the son of God. And and yes, he could have destroy He can still destroy us all if he wants to. But you know what? He said he wasn't going to do it. And he keeps his word. He's trustworthy. Who is this guy? Who I mean, that is amazing in and of itself. There's more. Let's continue on. Isaiah 40. Uh now we're in verse 13. Who has directed the spirit of the Lord or as his counselor has taught him. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Wait a minute. Who has directed the spirit of the Lord? Or as his counselor has taught him, God the counselor teaches Jesus and teaches him what? How to direct the spirit of the Lord. God the father and the son of God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit work as one. They are three different individuals, but they do work as one because God the father has a plan and the other two support that plan totally. But notice the chain of command here which is taught throughout the Bible. God the father, God the son, God the holy spirit. And all of them, God the holy spirit and the son of God point to God the father. And look at Jesus says he's my counselor. God says I counseledled him. I taught him. Look at this verse 14. with whom did he take counsel and who instructed him and taught him in the path of justice? Who taught him knowledge and showed him the way of understanding? Jesus had to be taught not only you know and and and however that is in the spiritual we don't know that. All I know is that Jesus was there and he said let there be light in there and it was good. There was light and it was good. What I do know is when he was born a man to a virgin, he came out, he still had to be taught and he was taught and never entered sin. He was taught and never entered sin. He had to and he also acknowledged who he taught who taught him, but he never entered sin. But he still had to be taught. Which means you and I could be taught by God. We have sinned. But the moment you spend time in the presence of God, you're abiding in him, there's no sin in Jesus. And sin cannot stand to be in the same room with Jesus. And if you're not sinning, guess what? Adam didn't sin initially. He wasn't aging. There's no aging there. If you go look at the scriptures, give you some homework here. Go read those scriptures. Notice he doesn't mention anything with age. It's all about him naming the animals. I don't know how long that took. Yes, it's kind. So, it's not every animal on the planet, but it is all the kinds. So, a male dog and a female dog. It didn't matter what type it was. It was just a male and a female. But he named them all. Did it take him days? Did it take him weeks? Did he sleep somewhere? Did he have to sleep? He was something different before he sinned. We only know the after what happened with sin. But I do know that if sin isn't in the presence of the Lord and I'm abiding in the presence of the Lord, I slow down aging. I do not age anymore because in that moment, I'm abiding in perfection. That perfection begins here and now. And I'm gonna tell you right now, it's changed me to a point where wow, you know, I now he he weigh he put the mountains in a scale. Do you know how big these mountains are? I can't climb a mountain, especially not at my age, but they're huge. And yet, he put them right there in a scale. But then what did Jesus say? This is even more magnificent. This is how humble Jesus is. Look at this. John 5:30 and John 8:28. 5:31st. I can of myself do nothing. Wait, what? You just put the mountains in a scale. You measured the heavens with a span. I don't even know if it's a three yard stick or how you measured it with a span, but you measured it with a span. You held the oceans in the palm of your hand, in the hollow of your hand. And yet I can do I can't of myself do nothing. Who is this son of God? This man who paid our wages. Look, he says, "As I hear, I judge and my judgment is righteous because I do not seek my own will but the will of the father who sent me." He's following his father. Who do you follow? You following the latest band, the latest music, the latest latest singer, you the latest fashion trends, the latest sin. Oh, but look in verse 28 of 8:28. Then Jesus said to them, when you lift up the son of man, did you catch that? When you lift up the son of man, then you will know that I am he and that I do nothing of myself, but as my father taught me, I speak these things. Look at the action there for you. homework. He says, "When you lift up the Son of Man." Do you do it on Sundays? Do you do it all the time? Do you do it when you're facing a crisis? Or can you do it? Can you just run up to God one day? You don't have a crisis, just say, "I just want to thank you. I just want to love you." When your children come up and do that to you, what do you think you you have in this your heart this joy and nothing can imitate that joy? When your family member just comes up and says to you, I love you. And you sit there going, "Wow." And imagine what God feels when you suddenly just say, "God, I love you." and this and this being, you know, I have to wonder if that is what he was thinking and feeling at the time when he decided to keep saving the earth in spite of the sin that we're living in. You have to wonder about that. Look at 51:13 Isaiah. And you forget the Lord your m your maker and you forget the Lord your maker. You know, renewing your mind and being in the Lord can be a forgetful process. putting him first in all that you do. Let me look at this. Who stretched out the heavens? You know, uh it is believed that before the flood they can see the whole written story of what Jesus does to redeem man is written in the stars. Well, he stretched that out. Who is this being that loves little old me that can do that? And he paid the wages of the sin that I committed. Incredible. And laid the foundations of the earth. He's the one who put it all together. And yet he says, "I love you for God so loved the world." John 3:16. Look at this. You have feared continually every day because of the fury of the oppressor. Oh, when you hear this part when he has prepared to destroy and where is the fury of the oppressor. Oh, got to get this. I want you to see this again. You have fear continually every day. Do you know when you get in your car and you drive, there's a risk of being in an accident and being killed. You get in your shower, by the way, is a risk. You can slip and fall. Get in your kitchen, it's a risk something blows up. There's always risks. Always. And you fear continually. There are people who fear continually. But look what God says about that. And it's because of the fury of the oppressor. Who's oppressing you? You see, you know you live in sin. You know that one day you're going to die. You know that it's coming because Hebrews 9:27 clearly tells us every man is appointed to die once. We're going to look at that scripture in a moment. When you see this, you know this. You're thinking, "Oh man, I better be careful. God, look at this. You don't have to be careful. It's the f fury of the oppressor. And look at this. He when he has prepared to destroy, he's going to destroy the oppressor. Where is the fury of the oppressor? He's going to destroy that. You have nothing to be afraid of. You're no longer bound by the wages of sin. You are now bound by the gift of life that was given to you from the son of God, Jesus. from the father of God, father god god father that brought his son Jesus. You see the spirit realm here acting up. It's been an interesting uh teaching but I'm going to tell you right now the son of god is Jesus Christ the messiah. He has redeemed us and he is the one who has freed us because he paid the debt of our sin. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. And yet you forget. How do you not forget? You have to ask yourself that question. What can you do to not forget? You see, if you're continuously in abiding in him, you create a routine, a habit. It helps a whole lot to develop that and put God first in your life. Jesus. Psalm 27:1, "The Lord is my light and my salvation. Whom shall I fear? The Lord is the strength of my life. Of whom shall I be afraid? You see, you have no more fear. You can go out, get in your car, and pray and say, "You know what? I'm going to get to my destination safely and quickly." You prophesy it, and you have no worries to fear because you've got God already dealing with the oppressor. He's getting ready. If you notice, his plan is coming to a conclusion. We're in the end times here. You see his plan. There's a fury uproar of all the devils right now. However, God says, "I'm taking care of them." He says, "You believe in me. I'm the I'm giving you the gift of life, my son, Jesus. When I'm giving you him, you are no longer oppressed. You're free. You don't have to be thinking about the consequences of driving on the road or cooking in your kitchen or doing something wrong. You do not have to fear because you have Jesus as your Lord and Savior. You confessed him as your Lord and Savior. Look at this. Hebrews 9:27. And as it is appointed for men to die once, but after this the judgment. Every man has to die. Every man. There's a conclusion to the journey of the life we're on. There was a beginning. You can start with Adam and Eve in their beginning, but you can also start with the birth of our beginning. And now we've been on this journey and one day that journey comes to a conclusion. However, there's a victory in that conclusion for those of you who realize that the gift of life provided by God the Father is your freedom because he paid your wages that you owed. And when you don't have wages to pay, what do you do with your life if you don't have any debt? You know, you can go buy whatever you want. You're free. You could do whatever you want. You want to go on a cruise, get up and go on a cruise. You want to go to the mountains, go to the mountains. You can go wherever you want because you have no debt. This is the freedom that Jesus gave you. And look at if you think death is a problem, watch this. Oh, death. This is 1 Corinthians 15:55. Oh death, where is your sin? Oh Hades, where is your victory? Look at this 56. The sting of death is sin. And the strength of sin is the law. But when Jesus paid your wages of your sin, you are now under the gift of life. And death can't harm you, do anything to you. There's no more sting. There's no more fear. You are free. Free indeed. You can go buy whatever you want. You can go live whatever way you want. Now, you better be obedient to the word of God and the way he tells you to live. But you have the freedom to live whatever way you want. If you know, I I remember uh Dr. Jean Scott, he'd be up on stage smoking a cigar while he's preaching the word of God. And back then, everyone thought smoking and and drinking were the sins. But, you know, it's the addiction behind it that's the sin. It's not that. If you want to go smoke a cigar, go smoke a cigar. You have the freedom to do it. I I'm trying to teach you the freedom that you have here. So, don't misconstrue my words here. Don't let it own you. In other words, if you have to have the cigar because your body is telling you, then you've gone too far. But if you want the freedom to go have it, you can. You see the difference that you're now free because the wages of sin has been paid for. Now I personally, this is something I do in my life and I follow Job in this example is I repent every day. Every night when we have our closing prayers every night, I continuously repent every night. Say, "Lord, forgive me of my sins. Forgive the sins of the land. Come into my heart again and be my Lord and Savior." And I thank him. Job, every time his kids had a a gathering and they partied, he went and did sacrifices for them. And his thought process was just in case they cursed God while they were under the influence. Do you see the freedom you have now? The freedom to live. Yeah, people are going to judge you, but let them judge you with the freedom that you have. Let them see how free because you tell them, "Hey, the son of God, the one who held the waters in the hollow of his hand forgave me because he paid my wages." Oh, death, oh death, where is your sting? I'm telling you, God is awesome. Second Corinthians 5 through8. And I don't have the chapter here. Obviously, I missed I didn't put that in here. Sorry about that. Now, he in fact, let's go find it. Uh, let's see. Now he who has prepared us for this very thing is God who also has given us the spirit as a guarantee. So we are always confident knowing that while we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord. For we walk by faith, not by sight. We are confident, yes, well pleased, rather to be absent from the body and to be present with the Lord. Isn't that awesome? For we walk by faith, not by sight. Let me get you that chapter because obviously I missed it in here. faith not by sight. This is 2 Corinthians 5. So it's chapter 5 and we were so it's chapter 5 and we read verses 5 through8. You can see why I made a mess up there but hey you can forgive me. But look at this. I want you to see something because oh death oh death where is your sting? Look at this. He who has prepared us for this very thing is God who has given us the spirit as a guarantee. You see, God is the one who sent his son. He sent his son to pay the wages and gave the authority of his son over the spirit. And the spirit had to do what the son did. And the son though says, I do the will of my father. Now you have all this freedom. Your wages have been paid. And look at this. You are always c. So we are always confident knowing me. Check this out. I want you to see when your wages are paid for and you get that. Look at this. He says we are always confident knowing that we while we're at home in the body. Yes, we're absent from the Lord. But look at this. He says, "But we walk by faith, not by sight. Don't look at this moment. Put your eyes on God." And he says, "We are confident." Yes. Well, please. rather to be absent from the body and to be present with the Lord. We'd rather be there. We will be there when our race is done. But while we're going on our race, we do our thing in confidence because we walk by faith, not by sight. Oh death, oh death, where is your sting? There is no sting. There's no fear. You can go out and do what you and and yes, keep confessing. Look at Romans 10:9. 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. Look at for whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved. Verse 13. If you do it over and over again, which is something I do, you start again refreshed. But I'm telling you, I was saved from the moment I called on God the first time. I just do it again and again more for a peace of mind, a reminder. So I don't forget who my maker is. Who the one is that paid these wages. This mighty mighty being that entered his creation that put mountains and hills and scales that even calculated the perfect amount of death to be on this earth. This is who paid the wages of sin. And by the way, not everyone accepts and believes why they don't want to. They don't want to go to hell either, but and some say they do want to go to hell. But there are some who say they don't want to go to hell, but they don't want to go where God is either. Well, I'm telling you, it's only the two places. You're going to have to make up your mind. And not making your mind up for God is destination hell. So, keep that in in the back of your mind. But in the freedom that you have here and knowing that you are free, your wages have been paid. It it's a weight off your shoulders. There is a transformation that takes place because now you want to thank Jesus for what he did. Be thankful. Remember who he is. Set your pattern, your routine to include a thank you to him every day. And if you truly want to go further, you can press in and abide in his presence. And I promise you, your eternity has already begun the moment you confess Jesus as the son of God. So now sin is gone. You're in his presence. You're not aging anymore. Think about that. There's a lot of people who don't want to age. They don't want to die. Well, you don't have to. You don't even need a bottle. You don't need any kind of medicine. You just go into the presence of the Lord. Hey God, how you doing today? I'm doing fantastic. Thank you for your blessings. You are amazing. By the way, have I said this before? Thank you for paying for the sins. I'm so grateful. What is it that I can do for you today? That's all he's asking for is a relationship with you. He just wants to have a rapport. you want to joke about things, he'll joke with you. By the way, he's fun to be around and it's fun to watch him uh get some people back that need to get uh back. God is awesome and that is Jesus. This is the one who paid the way. Just notice the the dynamic of the relationship between the father, the son, and the spirit. You see the three of them working in unity for you. For God so loved the world that he gave his son Jesus. Jesus was already with them. He do you see that in John 3:16? For God so loved the world that he gave. How can he give something unless he has it? Meaning he had Jesus before Jesus came. I hope you get that. And when Jesus came, he was born of a virgin. He grew up, he was taught by God and by the spirit. He was taught, he was counseledled actually. He was taught by God in that whole time. But then he said, "The spirit will come and comfort you." This is now the son of God saying that Jesus did exactly what his father taught him to do. Now, how are you going to go live your life? Deuteronomy 30 tells you to choose life. And wherever you go, whether you're in the city or in the desert, you will be blessed if you put God first. Here I go again about having a relationship with God and putting him first for your life.

THE PARDON The objective of this message is to teach believers about the meaning and power of Christ’s pardon—His remission of sins through the shedding of His blood. The teaching seeks to build boldness and confidence in approaching God, demonstrating how Jesus’ sacrifice tore the veil, granting direct access to the Holy of Holies. It aims to help listeners consciously understand their forgiveness, live in freedom from sin, and embrace their sanctification and justification through Christ. THE PARDON Minister Lisa Kane May 28, 2023 Objective: The objective of this message is to teach believers about the meaning and power of Christ’s pardon—His remission of sins through the shedding of His blood. The teaching seeks to build boldness and confidence in approaching God, demonstrating how Jesus’ sacrifice tore the veil, granting direct access to the Holy of Holies. It aims to help listeners consciously understand their forgiveness, live in freedom from sin, and embrace their sanctification and justification through Christ. Synopsis: In “The Pardon,” Lisa Kane explains the profound significance of Jesus’ sacrifice as the ultimate high priest, sacrificial lamb, and returning king. Drawing primarily from Hebrews chapters 9 and 10, the message begins by comparing the Old Testament system of sacrifices—where priests offered the blood of animals once a year in the Holy of Holies—with the New Covenant established through Christ’s own blood. The tearing of the temple veil at Jesus’ crucifixion symbolizes believers’ direct access to God’s presence. Lisa highlights that the remission of sins, or pardon, is more than forgiveness—it is a complete cancellation of guilt, secured once for all through Christ’s blood. Unlike the temporary covering of sins in the old system, Jesus’ sacrifice brought eternal redemption, justification, and sanctification. Believers are encouraged to boldly enter God’s throne room, knowing that His pardon makes them righteous and grants authority to live transformed lives. The message also emphasizes the importance of allowing this truth to penetrate the conscience, leading to a deep awareness of being forgiven and loved. Through testimonies, scripture references, and practical applications, Lisa urges listeners to live as walking testimonies of God’s pardon—ministering His grace to others and boldly claiming His promises in every area of life. The teaching concludes with a call to embrace this covenant of love and approach God with confidence, trusting that He is faithful and His pardon is eternal. Inspired Teaching: Hello and welcome to the House of Faith Ministries. I'm Lisa Kane and I'm recording this on Sunday, May 28th, 2023. Welcome. This message is called the pardon. Let's open up a word of prayer. Father God, we thank you for your word. We thank you for your anointing. We thank you for your presence, Lord. I bless this word and I ask for your blessing on it. And I pray that it is spoken eloquently through your Holy Spirit, Father God. And I pray that people understand the boldness and the confidence that they can enter into the Holy of Holies with your pardon, Father God. That they can go boldly before you and just say, "Lord," and then whatever it is that they need, their needs will be met and they will be saved. Thank you, Father God, for showing them your word and showing them the boldness and the confidence that they can have entering into your Holy of Holies. In the name of Jesus, amen. Amen. Amen. Let's go into our opening scripture here. We're going to be in Hebrews mostly 9 and 10. Uh but this is going to be our final scripture as well as our opening scripture. Now where there is remission of these meaning remission of sins, there is no longer an offering for sin. Now the word remission there means pardon. It's like a governor pardoning someone who's been accused and has served some amount of time in jail. The the whole point of Jesus doing his remission, which is giving him his blood. We're going to talk about that here in a moment. He pardoned us. Pardon us. And he basically forgave us and we can be forgiven over and over and over and we're forgiven for a lifetime whether we choose to live for Christ or not. God blesses with healing. Sometimes he heals unbelievers and they will never believe. However, God knows the heart of men and he works with them. Amen. So, here we are. Look at this again. And I want to show it to you. Now, this is Hebrews 10:18. Now, where there is remission or pardon of these, there is no longer an offering of sin. So, let's talk about the offering. the temple. The um when Moses was given the directions of creating a tabernacle, he had been given specific instructions of what to make, even including all the utensils and everything that was part of the tabernacle. So basically, he built a moving tabernacle with a tent across the wilderness for 40 years. So that was built within that. Solomon built his temple later on. Um and then a second temple was built after Solomon. And then we had we're going to have a third temple built here. Now in this temple, it's kind of interesting how this was set up. There's a front room and a back room. When you walk in through the festival, the front room is right there and it had the lampstand which is the manora, the word which is the first five books of the Torah and uh the showbread that is what was in this room and this is where the normal daily priest would do their normal activities. That's how they operated was in this room. Well, next to that room was a veil and that veil was a very thick veil. Very, very thick. No one could cross it except the high priest once a year to ask mercy over the nation of Israel. And inside the holy of holies was the ark of the covenant. And the ark of the covenant is if you go read David and how he brought it to the to the city of David. One man touched it accidentally. He was killed. The ark of the covenant would bless whomever it laid whomever had it. So I think the city of Gan ended up having it for a while. They were blessed immensely as far as I can understand from scripture. So th this is how the holy of holies worked. That was the communication. This is God's spirit here in this box. So well and in those days too when a priest would make his daily sacrifice. He would sacrifice the rams and the bull blood and all that stuff. Well he had to take that in once a year to this holy of holies. And the ark of the covenant had a mercy seat sitting on it. So basically, he was putting the blood of bulls and the blood of rams on this mercy seat to ask for forgiveness, which God didn't really want that. He wanted his son's blood, which we're going to get to here in a moment. But here, he's laying the blood down. And as I understand it, he laid it on one side of the mercy seat and the other side was for the blood of the son of God, the Messiah that was coming. So they had kept it separate. But um this was such a I you know I want you to understand something here because we're going to be talking about going into boldness and the confidence with our pardon and going into that holy of holies. You see no one could enter that holy of holies until Jesus tore the veil. We're going to get to that. But when the high priest would go in once a year, they put bells on the bottom of his robes and they tied a rope around his ankle. Why? Because if he died in there, how else were they going to get his body out? And sometimes he would die and so they'd pull his body out. Either God rejected their their sacrifice or whatever the circumstance it was. It was between that priest, the nation of Israel and God at that time. But that's how this operated. So now let's go a little further because I want you to see how the pardon affected all of that which was all Old Testament and then it changed into the New Testament. So we're going to go to Hebrews. We're going to look in chapter 9 11-2. But Christ came as high priest of the good things to come. Let's pause here for a moment and understand, realize that Christ is the priest, the Messiah. He's the ultimate sacrifice. So in essence, he came for three roles. I always preach two roles, but I'm going to go here and go a little bolder here. So he came as a priest. He's the one who took his blood, his own blood, because he also came as a sacrifice to put on the holy of holies, the mercy seat or in the holy of holies on the mercy seat. And he's going to come back as king. So he had a threefold role that I know of just at at the time of this teaching. And so here that boldness, Jesus had to do all this. So look at what Paul is saying here in Hebrews. But Christ came as high priest of the good things to come. Because he's telling the Israelites, I know that you crucified him. You rejected him. But I'm letting you know that you can get salvation still and you can repent and have a pardon. This is what Paul is trying to teach the Hebrews. So as he's trying to teach us, he's letting them know, listen, he came as a priest first. He had to come as a priest first. So watch this. to come with the greater and more perfect tabernacle not made with hands that is not of this creation. He knew Jesus is the one who wrote the entire Bible and provided the right words to the authors at any time that they wrote throughout the years. So the Jesus is the author of the holy word of God. He's the one who engineered this all. He's the one who said, "Let there be light." And because he was doing that, he was preparing the old history. These are not stories. These are events that took place. He's preparing these old events as a foreshadow of what is to come. The Messiah himself. This is what Paul is uh referring to. He had a he had a tabernacle in heaven, not made with hands. It's not of this creation. And it's in another world, another dimension, the heavenly realm, not here on earth. But what we now he had to fulfill both. He had to fill the heavenly one, he had to fulfill the earthly one because Moses anointed the earthly one with blood and made a covenant and a covering over them. So he had to fulfill he Jesus was a very busy person at this time. Amen. Let's continue on. Now we're in verse 12. Not with the blood of goats and calves, which is what, by the way, I'm going to pause here. Which is what Moses sanctified the Holy of Holies, the Ark of the Covenant, the first five books of the Torah, the Bible, he had anointed it all with blood. All the utensils, the curtains, the walls. He anointed it with blood. Blood of what? Goats and calves. But now look at what Jesus does. Not with the blood of goats and calavs, but with his own blood, he entered the most holy place once for all, having obtained eternal redemption. So, here's Jesus. He's on the cross. He's about to die. He can't die. Why can't he die? He has no sin in him. There's no sin in the Messiah from birth to the point of death. What God had to do was pour sin out on top of him. And here's what's mo most amazing. Okay, so the need is met now for death because you got to have the blood sacrifice. We're going to see how death was a huge role in this. Why Jesus had to die because he could have just walked off that cross and kept going if he wanted to. He had the power and the authority to do it. He chose not to because he knew he had to give you a pardon. He came for the remission of sins. The word remission means pardon. He pardoned the sins. So understand because he pardoned them, he had to die. So when the sins was placed on his body, the blood saw it and cleansed it, but it allowed him to die. It allowed the blood go onto the mercy seat, and it allowed him to fulfill the promise, which is pardon of the sins, remission of the sins. That's what Jesus did. He had to do it and the blood had to be done for that. Let's continue on now. Look at So, oh, and so what happens here something remarkable. His blood comes out of his body, drips down, and either an angel collects it and takes it to the mercy seat, lays it on there, where you can also believe Ron Wyatt's story where he talks about finding the ark of the covenant underneath where the cross was and that his blood came down. Let's read the scripture because I want you to see how Ron Wyatt makes sense, but at the same time, the angel of God being there as well. Look at this. Matthew 27:51-53. Then behold, the veil of the temple was torn into from top to bottom, and the earthquake, and the rocks were split, and the graves were open, and many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised. And coming out of the graves after his resurrection, they went into the holy city and appeared to many. Your spirit should be jumping out of its skin right now because of what that moment did, which is what I was just talking about. So when his blood came down, the angel collects it, pours it on the mercy seat. Well, in the physical, what happened on the earth, which is what Ron Wyatt saw, the earthquake, it opened up a shaft or a big enough crack for the blood to flow through and land on the perfect part of the mercy seat, which was the other side of where the bulls and the rams were. Their blood, their dried blood was, but his blood basically anointed the mercy seat. And because it's so alive, did you see how many graves opened up around it? Oh my goodness. Just think of an aunt or an uncle that had been buried within days or weeks and they come out of their grave and they go into the people's houses and they start sharing the word of God. This man came, he saved me and he brought me back to life. Oh, it's amazing. But remember, Lazarus was brought back to life when Jesus was alive still and Lazarus had to die again later on. Death is a part of the mystery of this life of the blood of life. Life cannot stay dead. Now, I don't want to teach on that. I don't want to get caught up into all of that, but it was necessary. Look at what Hebrews uh 9:16-18 says. For where there is a testament, there must also of necessity be the death of the testator, that's Jesus. For a testament is in force after men are dead, since it has no power at all while the testator lives. Therefore, not even the first covenant was dedicated without blood. Uh he's referring to um Moses and anointing uh all of the things with blood. He had to do it in the past. Jesus had to do it here. The blood became the testimony. That is what the testament is. Jesus had to die. The man had to die. The man who knew no sin had to die by having sin poured on him. But his blood was so pure that it just purified that sin and created a pardon that you and I can have here and now today. This is incredible. Look at how he purifies this with his blood. Hebrews 9:22. And according to the law, almost all things are purified with blood. And with without shedding of blood, there is no remission, no pardon. So here, the blood had to come out of Jesus. And no, he couldn't just cut it and leave a little bit. He actually had to die. And he did because he became that walking testimony that you and I, the bride of Christ, now preaches to all the earth. We're called to preach and teach the word of God to everyone. Whether you're doing it like I am, whether you're doing it behind a pulpit or whether you're doing it in your daily life where you just smile at someone, listen to them, pray with them, show them how God ministers to you. You're a walking testimony and that pardon shows off to people because that's what the blood of Christ did. It minister. And by the way, if you don't do it, the rocks will. You can go read on that. I'm going to leave that to you, a mystery to you to go research. You got to get in the word of God and you got to understand how that blood changes you. You You see, you have this encounter with this perfect grace, perfection. That's what Jesus, you know, I understand that people love the earth and look at it and see it as beautiful. It was made extremely beautiful. This is ugly compared to what it was when Adam lived. That was perfect utopia then. And I understand people want to go back to that. But the next perfect thing because that got corrupted and and fell is Jesus. Jesus was the only perfect thing after that was it. And his blood had to cleanse all the sin in the world. Imagine you lied. You stole. You killed someone. Imagine having a pardon from the governor, from the almighty God himself, where the devil can't even bring up your past sins to you or anyone else anymore because Jesus says, "I don't see it. It's got blood on it. I see blood." And it's the blood that caused the remission of sins, the pardon to come into existence. Oh, you guys got to get that. Let's continue on here in verse 24. For Christ has not entered the holy places made with hands which are copies of the true, but into heaven itself now to appear in the presence of God for us. So Jesus is he had to ascend. We're going to see the witness of that in just a moment. So he shed his but he had to die because he became a testimony and he says here here's my pardon. Take it. Take it. I'm going to forgive you. Get as many as you can. and get as many as you can. He says, "I'm going to go up and I'm going to defend you and make a place. I'm going to prepare a place for you." And that is what Jesus is doing. So, he is up there. You've got to see how he did this. This pardon is for you and me today because look at what he did. He ascended. Acts 1:9. Now, when he has spoken these things while they watched, he was taken up and a cloud received him out of their sight. He was taken to heavenly father. He is the way, the truth, and the life. No man comes to the father except through him. So he left us his blood though. It got placed on the mercy seat in the earthly realm. He got placed in the heavenly temple tabernacle. So his blood physically is in both places. So you and I get to say Jesus and you grab hold of your your pardon. And the moment you do, because you believe, remember what Romans 10:9 says, that if you confess with your mouth, Jesus is Lord and believe with your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. That is how the pardon works. And boy, that gives you all kinds of things that you can do. But it has to affect the conscience. It has to you got to get it on the inside. Let's continue on in scripture. I want to show you more things here. Hebrews 9:26, he then would have had to suffer often since the foundation of the world. But now, once at the end of the ages, he has appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself. I understand that some of you are going to receive and believe and run with this. You're going to go through the greatest transformation you've ever had in your life. Because when you encounter the grace of God at this level and you realize that every one of your sins is forgi forgiven because of the pardon, you just will never be the same. I there's an acknowledgment in your conscience, in your soul that says Jesus saved me. And boy, it it just radic radically changes. It transforms you. I understand that some people are not going to understand. They're not going to believe. They're not going to be able to accept. They They don't get it. They want to say, "Well, I've got to do penance. I got to do so many Hail Marys. I got to get on my knees." When God says it's the grace of God, his pardon is what does it. And I'm sorry if you're hearing the pool. I've got the windows open. And that's the the pump in the pool cleaning the pool. And it sounds like a little monster. So, it's not a demonic thing. It's the pool. Sorry, should have closed the window before I started this. But you have this pardon and some people just can't grasp that. I mean, look at Now, I know the Philippines is interesting how they do Easter. They get uh they they sacrifice they they hang themselves to a cross to go through the experience of what Jesus went to. But you don't have to do that. Look at the thief on the cross. All he said was, um, "Hey, this guy's innocent. I'm the one who's guilty." And then he tells Jesus, "Remember me when you enter your kingdom." And that guy, Jesus says, "I promise you, you and I will be in paradise together tonight." So they got, you know, the salvation, that sanctification is so simple and yet it boggles and deceives some of the minds of the people because they think they have to work hard or, you know, look what they did with Trump. how much they hated him that they voted Biden. And we we're in our situation that we're in uh economically and politically. But look at what they did to Trump. They hated him so much that they rejected something good that would build the country back up. Imagine them rejecting Jesus because they hate him. You don't like my lifestyle. you don't like that I acknowledge as a male or a female or genderless or whatever it may be. But I promise you on the day of judgment and if you're there, God isn't going to acknowledge your gender. He's going to acknowledge you how he created you, which was perfect. And he's known you from the womb in absolute perfection. So, I'm letting you know here and now. Even though you may reject initially, I want you to hear this. I want you to understand this. Even though you may reject initially, that grace will be there until the day of the Lord, until his return. So, now is the time to continue and get back in there and grab that grace. And you may have already grabbed that grace. You've drifted off. You have your pardon, but you don't know how to use it. and you go to church, but you're you're suffering when you shouldn't be because Christians in Christ should not ever suffer. You should always have a peace and joy. It's a lack of understanding. So, it's now time to grow into the word and to live the word and begin to understand what that word means for you. So this once in a lifetime event that Christ did only once so powerful. He saved you from sin. And if you go the rest of your life, you you activated your pardon. You said Jesus and he saved you and you choose to walk another way. I do promise you this. Jesus will not lose one. He will find you and he will get you. You want to keep running. He's a perfect gentleman. He will honor your respect, your your u your choice. I promise you, you would never walk away from this kind of grace that is right in front of you. Especially if you're someone who's ever spent time in jail or someone you know is in jail, that pardon comes in handy. grab it and utilize it. Now, I'm going to show you how to utilize it here very shortly. Let's continue on. Hebrews 10. Now, we're in verses 12- 18. But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down at the right hand of God. Remember, he ascended. And because he ascended and he did it once, now he sits at the right hand of God. He's our lawyer. He defends us because Satan is still out there trying to defeat us, which he can't. Verse 13, from that time waiting till his enemies are made his footstool. He's going to keep doing this until the enemies are made his foot footstool. Let's continue on. Verse 14. For by one offering he has perfected forever those who are being sanctified. Notice he uses the word being. Let's go back. Let's double check that being. Sanctification is getting saved. It is separate from justification. But you need sanctification, saving in order to enter justification. But the man on the cross never ever got past the sanctification. He he died on the cross, saved, but he did not ever understand or nor did he ever use justific. He never had to to understand that he was justified, that he was right because he got saved. Every time you confess and repent, think of it like this. We're talking about the blood here. We're talking about the uh the remission of sim pardon. When you have holy communion, you eat of the cracker. You drink of the blood and it represents bo uh body of Christ. Anyways, as you drink that, that blood becomes that and and Paul tells you to make sure that you're worthy before that. How do you get worthy? You repent. I'm grabbing your pardon, Lord Jesus. I believe you and I ask you to save me. You grab that. That's your sanctification. And I'm promising you, you can never lose it. You might not understand it fully on your conscience. You may not live it right away because there's a transformation that takes place, which is what leads into your justification. Now, as you grow spiritually, you begin to understand that you're justified. You know, when COVID came and I was reading uh Psalm 91, I'm looking at the scripture and I'm reading it. I go, God, I should never have gotten CO. And I mean, I went boldly before the Lord because I know my sins were forgiven. I've been spending secret time in the Lord, which is what Psalm 91 tells you to do. And then sickness is supposed to flee. Well, then I got healed and I was fully healed with no ramifications or consequences to any of that. Why? because I went boldly to the throne with my pardon and I said I should not have to have any fruit coming out of that. That's a dead thing and I do not want it. I'm healed and I'm saved. And Jesus said, "Yeah, you're right." And he made it happen. That is justification now. Cuz see, in your conscience, you're finally understanding, wait a minute, I've got a pardon. I've got the blood of Jesus. I I can go to him and tell him what his word says because see, I'm choosing to dwell in that word. I'm choosing to let that word live in me. I'm choosing to read it and speak it whether I understand it or not. And there are things this message I didn't quite understand when the Lord started me on this journey. This was yesterday. Started in Ezekiel 44. Notice that's not in this message, but it was the start and it got me here. Talking about salvation, talking about the remission of sins, the blood, the pardon that we have, and the boldness and the confidence we can go into throne room with. It happened that way because I was spending time with the Lord, which gives me the justification. And by the way, if you're a new believer in Christ and you're not doing that yet, you're justified. Why? Because you have no sin on you. Because the blood covers you. And because you're covered by the blood. Hey Jesus, I don't need to have this guy on my back. I don't need to be on drugs. I don't need to be in sin anymore. I don't need this. I don't need that. I'm healed. And he says, "Yes, you are finally got you here. Let's get you." And he moves you forward. That's how this works. This is why I wanted to teach in the garden. I want you to understand once you grab a hold of this, you walk into that that forgiveness and and you grab it and you say, "I'm not letting go. This is the most important thing on the face of the universe is the blood of Jesus. [Music] By one offering, for by one offering he has perfected forever those who are being sanctified." Look at this. Verse 15. But the Holy Spirit also witnesses to us. For after he had said before, this is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, says the Lord. I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds I will write them. Then he adds, "Their sins and their lawless deeds I will remember no more. Now where there is remission, pardon of these, there is no longer an offering for sin." Oh, how beautiful. You see now this this is why I had to get in the conscience. This is why you have to understand when you speak and you say Lord Jesus and you have his pardon. You say, you know what, Lord, forgive me. He does because he will forgive you of anything. The you know there there's a scripture talks about an unforgivable sin, but that's when you die. Once you're dead, you cannot be saved after the fact. So you have to be saved before. Once you have your pardon, now you get to move forward with the Lord under that covenant that he made, which puts into your heart and your mind his laws. You see, the ten commandments were fulfilled. But what was the new commandment? Jesus said, "Let us love one another as you would yourself. Love your neighbor as yourself." These he's talking about love. And we know that here in the end times according to Matthew 24:25, love grows cold. That's what's happening here. So we have to understand that that pardon puts us into a covenant with God where we get to go into the Holy of Holies. Let's look at that tabernacle. Now Jesus tore the veil in two. Now it becomes one room where every priest, you're a priest, I'm a priestess. Every priest now operates in that room. And guess what? I get to walk right up to that throne room to the Holy of Holies with my pardon. It's on. I got it. Crown of salvation. That whatever you want to consider it to be. You just go up and say, "Lord Jesus, you're Lord over my life. You're Lord over my finances. You're Lord over my teachings. You are Lord over my body. You are Lord. You are Lord. You are Lord. And you see, you speak, you confess, you prophesy because consciously consciously you understand and know your pardon allows you to go into that Holy of Holies where remember in the Old Testament a high priest can only go in once a year and he didn't always make it out. But now we get to walk into his presence. Hey, daddy. Lord Jesus, father. I need some peace today. I'm going to need it. Lord, extra dose today, please. Whatever your situation is. If there's a beautiful plant that you love, Lord, take the plant to the Lord. Can you heal it for me? I a bird crashed into a window at work one time, and my boss thought it was it was on its body. He wasn't on his feet and it it hit hard and knocked itself out. And my boss walked away and I looked at that bird and this was a handful of years ago. I said, "Lord, heal this bird. He's part of your creation. He's part of what you got going on." And you know, five minutes go by, check on him. Now, he was standing up on his legs and one leg like he's sleeping, but he's uh he's hurt, but he's going through the healing process. And within 15 minutes, this bird woke up, looked around, and flew away. You see, the world will think it's dead. But you know that there's life in the blood because you have your part in that you get to go straight to the creator, the almighty. You get to boldly go to him. Look at this. Look at this. Hebrews 10:19-23. Therefore, brethren, having boldness to enter the holiest by the blood of Jesus, by a new and living way, which he consecrated for us through the veil, that is his flesh. Uh, let's pause there for a moment. There's so much in this teaching around around the temple, and I'm just touching the surface, but there's the temple's veil is torn in two. He just said that the flesh was Jesus. It was torn in two because the blood had to come out of him to cleanse the sin. Got to get that verse 20. By a new and living way which he consecrated for us through the veil that is his flesh. And having a high priest over the house of God, let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith. Having our hearts sprinkled sprinkled with what? Sprinkled with blood. The pardon is on us. We're covered. We have the helmet of salvation. The blood of Jesus has been sprinkled on us from an evil conscience. Now, you see how your conscience has to grab it and get a hold of it because you're changed all of a sudden. And you should be thinking, "Wow, that's it. I just had to ask him to forgive me. And now I can go to the greatest creator. I can ask him for better weather. I can ask him for better finances. I can ask him for a better new home. Yes. Yes. And yes, and yes to even more than that. Imagine, look at Solomon. He asked for wisdom. Imagine asking for wisdom. Imagine asking for knowledge. Imagine reading the word and finding out more about who God is because you're curious. Now, who is this guy? And who is this God? Well, you know, why is he interested in me? Why did he go through and give me this power and authority? I've I messed up and he's letting me do this. Yeah, that's the kind of God I serve. This is why I believe you can't lose your salvation because God is God. God is love. He for God so loved the world, he sent his only begotten son, Jesus, to do exactly what I'm talking about here. Since Jesus did it because Jesus was obedient. Now look it. We have life. We have a pardon. We have the blood on us. We're forgiven. And now we get to go to the greatest being ever, ever, ever, and boldly go talk to him. And sometimes, you know, if you're lonely in this earth, all it takes is just, "Hey, God, I got a few minutes and I'm kind of bored. I'm lonely. This isn't the only time I want to talk to you, but I'm going to sit here and talk to you because I don't want to be alone. I'm not alone. You're with me. You're always with me. Do you see now the transformation that takes place in the mind, the conscious, because now you're consciously thinking, I'm curious what God says about this. Let me go find out. And you get to finally get your answers. And for those of you who go asking the world for your answers, you're looking in the wrong place. The Bible has every answer. And if you think you're too stupid or too dumb to read or understand the Bible, I beg to differ. You are not. God made you perfect. He made you holy. He made you to be a child of the most high. You are his child. And you know what? He wants to teach you. And sometimes it's just spiritual things going in your mind and how much you said you were dumb. All of that is keeping you from understanding when all you have to go back is, "Lord, I make you Lord Jesus over my dumbness, over my stupidness, because I'm not going to be that anymore. I'm going to understand because of your word." Now, imagine the breakthrough, the mental breakthrough there. Imagine the breakthrough you will have in your life. Lord, I I lift my husband to you. I lift my children to you because you know what, Lord? You said to give them to you. I cast my cares. I care for them. I love them. I want to see them consciously come to you. And the spirit of God will move because that's more important than anything else in this world. Amen. Let's continue on here. Uh and having a high priest over the house of God. Verse 22, let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water. Pure water, by the way, is the living word of God. Start reading it. Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering. For he who promised is faithful. This is so important. He kept his promise. Jesus kept his promise. Jesus went to the cross for his son, for for his father, and he said, "I will do it. I'm going to save these people because I love them just like you love them. Jesus said, "If you know me, you know my father. Jesus is just like his father. If you know me, you know Jesus." Because I'm trying to emulate Jesus in all that I do. This is how it starts. It starts consciously. And it says, I say to my conscience, to my soul, "Hey, you got a way out. Here's the blood." And so I go and I boldly say it. And now I'm sanctified. How could I be considered sanct a saint? I was a sinner. But that is exactly what Jesus wants us to be like. But then he goes a little further and says, now that you're humbled, now that you've repented, now you're justified Previous Next Related Teachings Heading 6 Teaching Title Heading 6 Button Heading 6 Button Home

MINGLED WITH THE UNCLEAN Call the church to reject spiritual contamination and syncretistic traditions, embrace its “twice-called-out” identity (ecclesia), realign with the biblical foundation (apostles, prophets, teachers), and enter corporate repentance to close demonic doors, intercede for the land and children, and welcome the Holy Spirit’s guidance and power. MINGLED WITH THE UNCLEAN Pastor Marcos Marrero May 27, 2005 Objective: Call the church to reject spiritual contamination and syncretistic traditions, embrace its “twice-called-out” identity (ecclesia), realign with the biblical foundation (apostles, prophets, teachers), and enter corporate repentance to close demonic doors, intercede for the land and children, and welcome the Holy Spirit’s guidance and power. Synopsis: The message opens with a congregational prayer inviting Jesus’ lordship and freedom, then sets the theme from Psalm 106:34–39: Israel’s failure to purge idolatry led to mingling with the unclean and generational defilement. Applying this to today, the speaker explains that although believers are called out of “Egypt,” God must also remove Egypt from within us—fear, traditions, and compromises that tilt the church’s “wall” off-plumb. Citing Hosea 4:6 and Isaiah 1, the sermon warns that ignorance and inherited ritual can make worship empty and endanger future generations. From Revelation 17–18, it frames “Babylon” as a hidden religious system that spreads confusion and blood-guilt, urging God’s people to “come out of her” by rejecting contaminated practices and idols that gain access to families and communities. The church is exhorted to return to God’s order (1 Cor. 12:28)—apostles confronting strongholds, prophets declaring God’s word, teachers grounding believers—so that miracles and healings can follow. The service culminates in a corporate repentance and renunciation prayer: washing hands in Jesus’ blood, breaking agreements with demonic influences, closing spiritual doors, and submitting anew to the Holy Spirit to walk in purity, authority, and truth. Inspired Teaching: Let us all stand up for a second. Let's just agree in prayer. Okay? Praise God. Want everybody repeat with me. Including the young guys, the young girls, everybody stand up. Repeat with me. Say, I love Jesus. I love Jesus. Because he first loved me. Because he first. Come Lord Jesus now. Come Lord Jesus. And set me free. Set me free. Amen. Amen. Sit down. Praise God. You just gave permission to the Lord to come into your heart and to uh begin the healing and the freedom that that we need. Praise the Lord. Father, we give you thanks right now for ears to hear, Father God, for a heart to understand. I take authority right now, Father God, over every spirit of confusion, over every mind blocking spirit, Father God, over every religious spirit. And father, in the name of Jesus, I declare forth a word according to Ephesians 3:10 to make known to the principalities and power the manifold wisdom of the spirit of the living God. And Father, we declare this place right now to be under the direction of the Holy Spirit as we submit ourselves, Father God, uh with ears to hear and with a heart to understand, to receive what the Holy Spirit will say unto this church tonight, Father God. And we give you glory for binding down, Father God, and arresting every spirit that would come to interfere with the work of the Holy Spirit here tonight. In Jesus name, we give you glory, Lord. Amen. Amen. Praise God. Let's go to Psalm 106 verse 34-39. We're going to be talking about tonight about mingle with mingled with the unclean. And then we're going to be dealing with the uh condition of the church. And as you know, we are the church. We are the believers. And uh you remember that when God brought Israel out of Egypt, even though they were not under Pharaoh's control anymore because the Egyptian army was drowned on the sea, still Egypt was inside of them. When they came to the door of the promised land, they couldn't cross because they still live under fear and under bondage. And it took 40 years of cleansing before a new generation who did not have a slave mentality was able to rise up and come in into the promised land. So the church, the word for church, when you know the Bible says we're the church because we're the temple of the Holy Spirit. The word church in Greek is the word ecclesia. That's where we get the word ecclesiastic or ecclesia and the literal translation mean twice called out. It's important that we understand that the church means you're being twice called out. First you're called out of the world and then you're called into your promises. Just the fact that God calls you out of Egypt doesn't mean that you immediately go into your promises. You have to overcome fear. You have to overcome temptation. You have to overcome tradition. You have to overcome all of the things that are within you. When God gets you out of the world, he has to get the world out of you so you can inherit your promises. So that's what I want to deal with tonight. We want to deal with with what is keeping us, the church, the twice called out from entering into the promises of God. And in Psalm 106 verse 34, it says, "They," speaking about the children of Israel when they were brought into the promised land, "they did not destroy the peoples concerning whom the Lord had commanded them. But they mingled with the Gentiles and learned their works. They served their idols, which became a snare to them. They even sacrificed their sons and their daughters to demons and shed innocent blood, the blood of their sons and daughters, whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan. And the land was polluted with blood. Thus they were defiled by their own works and played the harlot by their own deeds. Now that is a very strong uh uh indictment that God gives to the children of Israel. Now how does that apply to us today? Remember Paul said that everything that happened in the Old Testament was written as examples for us. You know we we're playing history repeats itself. It's just like a cycle. Everything keeps playing over. So when they did not destroy the peoples, some people have a problem with God killing men and women and all people and killing children and stuff like that. You have to realize that God is a very merciful and patient God. But God is also all knowing. And when it comes to time that there's no hope for something, God deals with it. And we need to understand that when Abraham came out, God says, "I'm going to send your descendants into Egypt because the sins of the Amorites have not reached their peak yet." Meaning the people that live in the land of Canaan, there was still hope for them. So God would not wipe them out of the land for 400 years so that they would have hope. Now, when the children of Israel are coming into the land, God, a merciful, loving God, gives them a command. The command is, I want you to destroy the old people, the young people, the children, the men, the woman, their cattle. I want you to destroy everything. Now, why would God do that? How can a loving God order such a commandment? Okay, let's say that all of us here are in a boat. Okay? And that brother Rick here has an infectious disease that's going to kill him, but before it kills him, it'll kill everybody else. And we're in a boat and we can't get out. Rod already mot. We love him, brother. We love you. You're we have compassion. But guess what? You know what the definition of agape love is? Herb Wel used to say this all the time. Agape love means doing what is best for everybody involved. The definition of true love is when the actions that you take will do will have the the the most blessing or power for everybody involved. So here we have a nation that is totally and completely polluted with demons. Their men, their women, their children, their animals, their cattle, everything. And God says, "I'm bringing you into a land. And when you come to the land, you have to destroy everything that's living to get rid of all of the demons so that you can't come in." So here they come into the land. Oh well, you know what kind of a God will say, "Let's get rid of the man here that is going to kill the whole." Three generations later, they were all infected with the same demons, with the same pollution because they mingle with the people. They began to learn their traditions. And before they knew it, their children, which were the ones that were to inherit the promised land, were being offered to the same demonic demons that the people of the land were doing. Now, you see what we're saying here now for us today, now that I brought a little clarification to that, what would God say to us today if he would come and speak to his church? They did not destroy the peoples. We don't have people to destroy. What do we have to destroy? Old traditions. You see, let me give you a another vision. See if we can get it. Let's say that God is building a wall. He lays out the foundation and then every generation is a brick. Every generation is a brick and 2,000 years, however many generations, you complete the wall and the wall is supposed to meet the place on top. In other words, everything is completed. Now, Satan is different than us in the sense that Satan's been around a long time. He was in the Garden of Eden. He was there tempting David. He was there tempting Jesus and is here today. So, Satan knows how things work. So, every time God lays the foundation, he knows he cannot destroy the foundation. But he knows that he can mess with man. So, all he has to do is take that first layer of bricks and just tilt it a little where the eye cannot see it, where you cannot perceive it. And guess what? Three more generations come in. Three more bricks. The wall is line. Before you know it, you have a sour line of pizza. It's way over to this side. Okay, this is the condition of the nation of Israel. When Jesus came here, they have their synagogues. Here they have their teachers, their Pharisees, the teachers of the law. And Jesus says, "You guys messed it up. You put more credence in the laws that you guys have made than in the laws of God." So what did God do? He tore the wall down and he laid a foundation. Now Jesus is coming back, my friends. And if our wall is not straight, if our wall is not plump to the to the word of God, guess what? Our wall is going to get knocked down, too. Don't think that God plays papers when God reaches a certain time and if the wall is not straight, he's going to deal with it. Now what we need to do so that we don't go down without wall is we need to find out where the traditions because that's how Satan comes in. I heard on the men's retreat uh uh uh somebody told uh it was like a joke or like a story but it gives a good parable. This family got together and they, you know, every time they had a family gathering, they cook a ham and this ham they cut the end and the end and so they would cook the whole ham and the two ends separate, you know. And so the little kid asked, "Mommy, why do we cut the ham like this?" "Oh, you know, I don't know. Why don't you ask grandma?" So they asked grandma. She says, "Well, I don't know. Great grandma always did it, you know." So they went all the way to great grandma. Why? Well, their oven was too small and so in order to cook the ham, she had to cut the ends and put it in there. But everybody came in and it became a tradition. So every time they had a family gathering, they cut the ends of the ham even though they had a big old oven. But you see, that's how it is. All that Satan has to do is introduce some kind of a tradition that is demonic because you see the mingling. God is a holy God and God does not deal with contamination, you know, and we know that we're contaminated today because if we were not contaminated, we would be doing even greater works that Jesus did because Jesus said, "The works that I do, you will do also an even greater." So if the Holy Spirit is not moving through us, it's because there's got to be contamination. There's a mingling. Okay? And this is what we need to as individuals come in into the place where we say well I don't want to mingle with the people in our case I believe is with the traditions the old traditions and then it says they did not destroy the peoples the old traditions they mingle with and they learned their works a lot of the rituals that we have today are contaminated by demonic rituals we need to understand that a lot of liturgy the way that the church is set up today and and and I'll show you as we progress is got demonic things to it. Said they serve idols which became a snare to them and they even sacrificed their sons and their daughters to demons. Back in those days they offer their sons and daughters to demons. Today we give them access to our children by the things we bring into our homes. You see, it's the same thing. It's the same thing. Back in those days, they went down to a tree and they went to the statue of Mollik, which was a huge brass thing. He had arms like this, and they would put fire on the bottom. Then they would put oil there, and they threw their babies into the hands of this uh gruesome demonic thing, and they will burn their children. Today, we do it through the television. We put the little television up in there, and they're watching cartoons that are demonic. They're watching Scooby-Doo doing sorcery and they're watching all of this stuff. And so when our church children grow up, they want nothing to do with the Lord because they see hypocrisy. They see powerless religion and stuff like that. And so what we're doing is we are giving access to these demonic things to our children because of contamination because we're failing to see where the demonic things is coming from. So you see, we're no different. It just it it is a different setting. It says, "And they shed innocent blood, the bloods of their sons and daughters, and the land was polluted with blood." How many of our children, the childrens of Wington, have died on the street through violence? How much if we could just put spiritual goggles as if it were and drive around, how much blood has been shed on the street of our children? Many grandmothers who were praying for their children and their grandchildren, their children were there. Many of you have been touched by that. Women who have been raped on our streets, the blood that has been shed, all of the things is in the land. And so because of that, the land becomes polluted, you see. And so what pollution does is it allows the demons to roam. Uh we live right on the harbor. You can have a a shipload of those things come in and they unload in some kind of a thing and the first thing they look is is their blood, innocent blood been shed someplace, you know, like rats. They need trash like cockroaches. They need dark places to hide. They need a place that that makes them welcome. And they have plenty of places to hide over here. Why? Because our religion has been contaminated by tradition. And because of that, we have opened the door to demonic things that gives them access to our children. Then our children's blood is shed on the street and the land becomes defiled and then these demonic creatures roam around. Uh this is what Peter said. Devil roams around like a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour. He needs an open door. He needs shed glo. He needs contamination. Otherwise, he cannot touch you. Otherwise, he cannot come. Not a lot of fun tonight. What we're talking about, is it? This in reality is what the cause and effect of spiritual adultery is all about. Breaking trust with God. Now in Hosea chapter 4 verse 6. Hosea chapter 4 verse 6. I know that you read the first part of this in the past but I want to read a little more uh the complete verse. Hosea 4:6. God says, "My people, not the other people, my people are destroyed for lack of knowledge." Listen, there's a saying in the world that says, "What you don't know don't hurt you." That's the biggest lie of the world. What you do not know does hurt you. My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Because you have rejected knowledge, I will also reject you from being priests for me. What is the the duty of a priest? A priest is by definition a person who intercedes between God and man, between the spiritual and the physical. We become born again. And Jesus says, "I give you authority and whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven." In Revelation chapter 1 says, "And and we were made priests and kings unto him." We are priests. We are the mediator between God and between men. When man is committing sin, those of us who have been born again are the priests who intercede. And like Abraham said, "Father, don't destroy Sodom. Don't destroy Gomorrah. I I can I'm intercede for." And God says, "Okay, show me five righteous. Show me righteous and I will spare the land. Okay, so here God says because you have rejected knowledge because you stick your head in the sand and because you just go along building upon this wall that is tilting way out and you don't pay attention. I'm going to reject you from being my priest. And look what it says after that. And this is what I want you to connect. I will also forget your children. That's hurts, doesn't it? That hurts. You know what that means? God said, you're opening the door. You're opening the door. You're you're refusing knowledge. you know, uh, the Holy Spirit comes, you get saved, he talks to you about certain programs or certain, uh, movies or about certain rituals, uh, uh, things that we do. Well, well, Lord, you know, that's this old time stuff, you know, that's back in there when people were square, you know, uh, we're living in a modern society, you know, we're progressive. We we have an open mind. we just don't lean over too much, the brain will fall out. But we have an open mind, you know, that kind of stuff. And so God said, "Well, you're rejecting knowledge." Guess what? Number one, you're not going to intercede for the land. And if you're not interceding for the land, then you might as well forget about your children. The next generation is going to be twice as contaminated as you are. As a matter of fact, let's go to Isaiah chapter 1, vers 13. We're going to go to verse 13, but I want to see if I can Find this other one that the Lord just brought to my mind. Number five, Isaiah chapter 1 verse5. Let's look at that one again. God is through the prophet Isaiah confronting their their sin just like they're doing in Psalm. And God says, "Why should you be stricken again? You will revolt more and more. The whole head is sick and the whole heart faints from the sole of the foot even to the head. There is no soundness in it, but wounds and bruises and putrifying sores. They have not been closed or bound up or soothed with ointment. God says, "Why should I spank you? Why should I correct you? The more that I try to correct you, the more that you revolt against me. The more that I try the anointing of the Holy Spirit, the more that I try to bring the direction of the Holy Spirit to you, the more that you revolt against me." You know what happens when you take children and you say, "Well, I'm that that's it, kids. I'm I'm I'm divorcing you. Just go do your own thing. I want nothing to do with you guys." What happens? That generation is destroyed. They become law lawless. They become a gang. And that's what God is saying there confirming the same thing that we just read in Hosea where it says, "I will forget your children." God is saying to to these people, "Why should I even bother to strike you again or or or to try to correct you again?" He says your head is sick and so because of that your heart faint. He said from the sole of your feet to the head there is no soundness on it. This is talking about the religious system. You have to realize that these people were still offering sacrifices. These people went to church every Saturday. These people went to their service and they brought the sacrifices. As a matter of fact, look at verses 13, 14, and 15. He says, "Bring no more feudal sacrifices." Incense is an abomination to me. You know what? Incense was a type of prayer. Look at Revelation. It says, "The saints were offering incense and it was a prayer that rose up to God." God is saying, "Stop coming to church. Stop coming to church. Stop coming to the synagogue." He says, "You bring your sacrifices to me and I'm tire of it. I'm fed up with them." Man, you we don't want to hear God say that to us. Bring no more feudal sacrifices. You know what feudal feudal mean? Worthless. You know that's the spirit. The spirit of bial. Spirit of bal. The name bile appears in the Bible 17 times. 17 times is the works of the find it in Galatians chapter 5. There are 17 works of the flesh. And you know what's at the center of the 17 works of the flesh? selfc centeredness or selfish ambitions or selfish desire. Uh second Timothy 3 I think he says that in the last days men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God. So here we're not talking about bad things in the outside. It's talking about the heart. The heart is contaminated because we have mingled with the people. We have mingled with the custom. We have mingled with the things. And so because of that, God says, "Your incense is an abomination to me. Your prayer I don't hear. The new moon, the Sabbath, the callings of the assembly." That's verse 13. Isaiah chapter one. I cannot endure iniquity and the sacred meeting. I want you to hear this. Iniquity is inherited sin or traditional sin. God says, "I cannot endure iniquity and the sacred meeting." When you come to church with your old tradition, I'm fed up with it. He's telling the people of that day, I'm fed up with you following the same traditions, the same sacrifice when you're contaminated and have mingled with the world. Your iniquity, which is inherited sin, has been handed down from generation to generation, and it's just an offense to me. I cannot hear your prayers anymore. And when you come to me, it's worthless. It's beautiful. And I'm fed up with it. Because you see, God looks at the heart and when he sees us and you know what? This is where the church is heading. Peter says that the judgment of God will begin at home. This is what the church before God judges the world. He'll judge us. He'll purify us. He'll turn on the fire. He'll bring cleansing. He'll set up. And that's what the apostolic anointing that's coming. And we'll close with that. I don't want to get ahead of myself, but God will raise up apostles and prophets that will point out the finger to the church and tell her where this demonic things is at and and and tell them get rid of it. And if you read the letter in in in Revelations 3 when he's talking to the church in Leodysia, he she says, "I'm not a widow. I don't need you. I got money. I got silver. I got all the things." And the Lord says, "I counsel you to buy gold from me." Which symbolizes salvation. that has been tested in the fire because that's how God is going to test us. I heard that other that other thing about this uh three terrorists showed up with machine guns to a Sunday church meeting spray out the ceiling and then they said everybody who's a Christian here we're going to kill you unless you renounce Christ right now. So bunch of people said oh we don't want nothing to do with Christ. So they all left and there was just a few left. And then the guys turned to the pastor and and said, "Okay, we'll have church right now. We'll we'll have church right now. We got rid of the hypocrites. We got the people here that are really willing to die for the faith. We'll have church." They took their terrorist thing. They put their gun down say, "Let's worship God. The Lord might do that someday." You know, oh Lord have mercy. Uh Isaiah 1:14, your new moons and your appointed feast my soul hates. You know what the soul is? That that that's what you fill with, man. That's what you love with. That's where your passion resides. And God says, "My soul hates all of these things. They are a trouble to me. I am weary of bearing them." God says, "I am tired of putting up with it." Verse 15. When you spread out your hands, oh Lord, I love you. I will hide my eyes from you. Even though you make many prayers, I will not hear. Why? Why? Why? Why would the Lord do that? Why? Your hands are full of blood. Your hands are contaminated. Your hand has been mingled with demonic rituals and things. And because of that, with your hands, you're allowing the land to go to hell because you're contaminated with it instead of confronting it. It's hot up here, too, guys. Believe me, it's hot up here, too. I'm standing on on hot coals right now. The question, how could the how could the hands of the church today be so full with blood? Let's turn to Revelation 17:5. What is the root of our contamination? Where does God point the finger when it comes to us, the church, being contaminated? Well, fortunately, Revelation gives us a heads up of what God will do to this spirit of religion. Revelation 17:5, I'm sure uh it should be on, it's in my Bible, it's in bold letters. And it says, "And on her forehead a name was written, Mystery, Babylon the Great, the mother of harlots and of the abominations of the earth." Now, mystery means something that is hidden, something that you do not see. Okay? Babylon the great speaks about the original rebellion against the plan of God which was during the Tower of Babel. Babylon means confusion. The reason why they would call the the Europeans called uh the people that came from the north barbarians is because they spoke with a weird language. Babel Babylon uh even the priests of Santas are called Babala meaning they're speaking confusion. So this has always had to do with confusion. So Babylon is where God uh confronted Nimrod. Nimrod led the people into building a tower or a pyramid which you will find that everywhere. As you look at your dollar, it says in God we trust and there's a pyramid. They're not talking about the God of heaven. They're talking about the God of this world, the God of self, the God of wealth, the the God of all of this the things. And then you will see it that this thing has contaminated everything. And it's called the mother of harlots, meaning that every spirit of contamination that has ever entered any believer came through there. That's what a mother means. And of the abominations of all of the earth. Let me read uh I'll I'll read six all the way through nine. I want you to see how heavy the pollution of this spirit is. Revelation 17:6. I saw the woman drunk with the blood of the saints and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus. And when I saw her, I marvel with great amazement. Now, I want you to see that she is full of blood. And we just read in Isaiah where God says, "I do not hear your prayers because your hands are full of what?" Blood. So it's talking about spiritual contamination that has caused great death. Because when we fail to guard the door, when we fail to be priests over the land, when we fail to be priests over the domain that God has given us, what happens is we open the door to demons that come in to steal and to kill and to destroy. And this thing shed blood, the blood of our children, the blood of our brothers, the blood of our sisters. And when this blood contaminates the land, then that blood is in our hands because we have failed. And thank God that there is a remission of sins that we can in Isaiah chapter one, if you read a few verses later, he says, "And though your sins may be as red as scarlet, they will be as white as wool." So there there is deliverance, but it requires knowledge. Uh Proverbs 11:19, it is through knowledge that the just is delivered. So then verse seven, but the angel said to me, "Why do you marvel? I will tell you the mystery of the woman and of the beast that carries her, which has the seven heads and the sand horn. The head that you saw was and is, and will ascend out to the bottomless pit, and go to pdition. And those who dwell on the earth will marvel, whose names are not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world." Then they see the beast. when they see the beast that was and is not and yet is. And here's verse nine. What I want you to see, this is where the root of the contamination of all of the churches come from. Here is the mind which has wisdom. Meaning you have to have it through revelation. The seven heads are seven mountains on which the woman sits. This woman is a religious system that originates all the way back to Babylon. Babylon when Nimrod get led a rebellion against God. Nimrod is said that he was a mighty hunter before the Lord. He was a hunter of souls. Nimrod is the one that opened the door. Every demon that is in the earth today came to the door that Nimrod open. That's what the pyramid. That's what the tower was. The tower is something to where you open a spiritual door. You see, demons cannot cross from their second heaven, from the state of darkness. They cannot cross into this earth because man has authority over the earth. So man has to open the door. That is what sacrifices are. When you offer a blood sacrifice to God, you open the door for God to pour out blessings on you. Bible tells us that uh Noah was told to take two of every animal except for the clean animals that were used for sacrifices to take seven. And it says that when Noah came and he offered these clean animals to God that God smelled the sacrifice and because of that God opened the door from heaven and pour out blessing. He blessed no one. He blessed his children. God's blessing can only come when men opens the door. That's what prayer is. Prayer ascends to heaven like incense. God forgive me of all of my sins. And that prayer opens up the door. And then God sends forgiveness. God sends healing. God sends restoration. But in the same way, when you open the door to demonic things, the selfish nature, that's what Cain was. When Cain brought his sacrifice, it wasn't a sacrifice of blood. It was a sacrifice of selfishness. The ground had been cursed. And he brought a fruit of the ground. He brought an offering of something that was cursed. And God will not accept our curse offerings. The only way that we can go to heaven now is through the blood of Jesus. Okay? So then this um woman, this religious system that contaminates everybody sits on seven mountains on which a woman sits. Now I want you to take your hand out and I just um type seven hills on it and then the first page you have there you will see that Rome right now you can go there and the hills are not even distinguishable because Rome Rome is one of the longest continuously inhabited cities have been inhabited probably for the last 4,000 years 5,000 years. uh they even have names for the seals in early Rome. You can see the the seven names uh there and then of later Rome you can see the names where where they were there. So Rome was the world empire of the day when John was writing that. And he says this woman, this religious system which is called mystery of Babylon, it is residing on a city that has seven hills. And as a matter of fact, you you can read it. You can research this in the internet. Back in those days, they didn't have to say you were from Rome. They asked you where are you from the seven hills? And that automatically everybody knew where you were from. You were from Rome. I printed another I printed this one first, the second one on your page. It has the name on red there. And then I printed this one because it had a little bit more information. But there's a tons and tons of uh writings. And these are not religious writing. This is just secular writings, historical writings about Rome being the place where these uh seven hills were. Now why is that you say important to us? Well the third page that you got which should be this one. This is a copy of a page from uh Reverend Alexander Hiselop. This is a man that hund and some years ago uh wrote a book called the two Babylons. And he trace how the Catholic Church is not a religious organization that truly worships Jesus. That everything upon their worship is demonic. It is demonic. It is contaminated. And you have to remember that we the Protestant came out of her. This is what we need to learn. We came out of her. Our church came out of it. Now, what happens is, before I get into that, I don't know if I'll be able to read it. My contacts are all [ __ ] up. It's so hot up here. But what happens is God brought the church. He built it on the foundation of the apostles. As a matter of fact, let's get the scripture there and then we'll we'll deal with this. Go to um Ephesians 2:20. talks about the church having been built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets. Jesus Christ himself being the chief cornerstone. The church was built on the foundation of the prophets and on the foundations of the apostles. Meaning Jesus Christ selected 12 disciples. Then he turned these 12 disciples into apostles. He being the chief cornerstone means trained them for three years. And then these apostles then came in and began to build the churches. Prophets moved through them. They they they taught the word of God. Then they found the churches and they put pastors upon the churches. And then the disciples trained more disciples. And for years and years and years it went even though the church was persecuted for 300 and some years. The church could not be destroyed. It had a solid foundation of nothing but the truth of God. Okay. The devil after 325 years of trying figure he couldn't destroy the church. So he said well if we can destroy it let's join it. And you see this is if you read in the letters, if you see in the letters, one of the letters to Revelation, the uh the sin of Balac uh Balam and Bailo when Balam who was a prophet of God, Bailac wanted to buy him to curse the children of Israel and every time he went to speak a curse over them, blessings came out. And so finally, Balam said, "Hey, I'll teach you how to curse these people, how to get to these people. You just can't speak words against them because God is protecting them. You got to mingle with them. You got to contaminate them. If you read Revelation chapter 2, who taught Balam, who taught uh uh uh Bailac how to contaminate the children of Israel? So this is the process that was put in place. This constant thing guy who was a sun worshipper all the day to the day I claims to be converted as a Christian. He was a Roman emperor. So he says, "Everybody now in my kingdom, the Roman kingdom has to worship Jesus." And so all of these pagan idola Previous Next Related Teachings Heading 6 Teaching Title Heading 6 Button Heading 6 Button Home

HEALING FOR THE BROKENHEARTED part 1 The objective of this teaching is to reveal how Jesus Christ restores the authority that was lost in the Garden of Eden and how that authority directly relates to healing the brokenhearted. By examining Scripture, the lesson seeks to expose Satan’s deceptive “programming” and “conditioning” that keep believers bound, and to equip Christians to walk in the fullness of Christ’s authority, free from rejection, fear, and destructive patterns. HEALING FOR THE BROKENHEARTED part 1 Pastor Marcos Marrero July 1, 2004 Objective: The objective of this teaching is to reveal how Jesus Christ restores the authority that was lost in the Garden of Eden and how that authority directly relates to healing the brokenhearted. By examining Scripture, the lesson seeks to expose Satan’s deceptive “programming” and “conditioning” that keep believers bound, and to equip Christians to walk in the fullness of Christ’s authority, free from rejection, fear, and destructive patterns. Synopsis: This teaching explores the authority of Jesus Christ and how it brings healing to the brokenhearted. From the beginning, humanity was given dominion by God, but that authority was stolen by Satan through disobedience in the Garden of Eden. Jesus came to restore what was lost, granting believers the power to overcome every work of the enemy. The lesson highlights how religious leaders in Matthew 21 questioned Jesus’ authority, exposing a common tactic of Satan—causing people to doubt the authority of God’s Word. This same doubt weakens believers today, preventing them from walking in victory. Scripture makes clear that while Satan’s program is to steal, kill, and destroy, Jesus came to give abundant life. Yet many Christians remain bound because of Satan’s “programming” and “conditioning” in their hearts, whether through rejection, false teaching, generational patterns, or personal wounds. These hidden influences can produce double-mindedness, fear, and even self-destruction, blocking the flow of God’s blessings. Biblical examples such as Balaam and Balak (Revelation 2:14) show how compromise with false doctrine removes spiritual authority, while Paul’s warnings in 2 Timothy 3 remind us that not all who appear godly truly walk in God’s power. Ultimately, this teaching calls believers to recognize and break free from the enemy’s conditioning, to anchor their faith in the unshakable authority of Christ, and to receive the wholeness and peace Jesus provides. Inspired Teaching: We long for that day, dear Lord Jesus, when we'll finally meet you face to face and we'll be able to bow down before you, Father God, and personally give you h praise and glory for all that you have done for us. Thank you, Lord, in advance. Thank you for opening our ears to hear this morning. Thank you for granting us a heart that has understanding. Anoint your word this morning, Father God, that it may become food for our spirit, for our soul, and for our body. In Jesus name, I pray your blessing upon each and every person in this class this morning. Father, thank you for meeting every need of their heart. Father, in Jesus name we pray. Amen. Amen. Praise God. We're going to talk uh this morning in the concerning the authority of Jesus Christ, how it relates to healing of the broken heart. Our first lesson that we did, we dealt with the mechanics of what Jesus came to do. Jesus says, "I came to heal the brokenhearted." This is part of what Jesus came to do. That was lesson number one. In lesson number two, we dealt with the spirit of rejection. We found out that one of the tools that Satan uses the most against believers is rejection. And that goes all the way back to the garden when men was rejected because of his and her disobedient men and women disobeyed the word of God. Now today in this series of healing the brokenhearted or dealing with a broken heart, I want to focus into how Jesus uh uh has given us authority over all of the power of the enemy. And Satan uses everything that he can to keep us from exercising that authority. How many do you know that if you have authority to do something and that authority can be removed or taken from you then you you may have authority but it's no good to you if you cannot use it. I want to start with Matthew 21 verse 23. And I want you to see something from uh what happened to the children of Israel in Matthew 21:23. We read now when he Jesus came into the temple, the chief priests and the elders of the people confronted him as he was teaching and said, "By what authority are you doing these things? And who gave you these this authority?" Now notice that it's the chief priests and the elders of the people. Now we need to understand that the children of Israel were programmed as if it were all the way from the beginning of time to accept the Messiah. Last week when we're dealing with the spirit of rejection as men and women were being kicked out of the garden just from their disobedience to the word, God said to Eve, "Your seed will crush the head of the serpent." So, ever since that time, mankind has been waiting for the seed of the woman or a son of a woman that would come up and would become like Adam was, but instead of failing like Adam would crush or defeat the enemy, would have the authority of God because what was lost in the garden was authority. God said to Adam and Eve, I give you dominion. and Satan stole that dominion. Okay? So, God promised, "I will res restore dominion to man." So, here comes Jesus. And I want you to put this into perspective. We know from John chapter 3 that Jesus was doing things that only God could do. We know that Nicodemus came to Jesus by night. Why? Because he was afraid of the chief priests and the elders. He came by night. And he says, "Rabbi, nobody, nobody can do the things that you do unless God be with him. Nobody can make bones grow. Nobody can take open eyes and and h, you know, blind eyes and open. Nobody can do that unless God is with him." And I want you to see that the chief elders and the and the priests saw the same thing that Nicodemus saw. But what happened? They questioned the authority. Why did they question the authority? Because Satan was able to program them to question the God, the authority of God. How many of us when we see a move of the Holy Spirit, immediately we begin to question, I wonder if this is really God or not? I mean, have you been there? You see something taking place? That's the first thing that comes into our mind. And it's a good thing because we need to to judge. We need to make decisions. But we need to understand that this is at the root of the problem. Now look what happens if you go down to right there in Matthew 21:23. Go 20 verses later 43. Jesus says, "Therefore I say to you, the kingdom of God will be taken from you and given to a nation bearing the fruits of it." Now what happened? because they questioned the authority of the very person that God had promised them that he would send them. God says, "I can't use you. So, I'm going to remove you and I'm going to give that to somebody else, which is us." Now, the reason why I put this into prospect into perspective is because now we're in the same boat. What if we begin to question the authority of God? Will Jesus come and said the kingdom is taken from you and given to somebody else? And you see and today uh a religious leader chief elders question that all the time. They question whether God really created the heavens and the earth in six days. They go through long dissertations about how we evolve or how the things were evolved. And there's all kinds of human rationing to question the authority of God. Because you see, if you can bring the authority of God in question, then our authority is questioned because we have no authority but that which God has given to us. Jesus said whatever you ask in my name will be gi will be done for you. So if we even have a question on the authority of Jesus, then the kingdom is not ours. You see kingdom is operating in power. That's that's what it is. Now, in your paper there, if everybody has a paper, I'd look up the dictionary, two words, two very simple words, and you will see how these words fit so perfectly into the the real that we're fighting with. The first word is program. We're all familiar with the word program. Here's there's four meanings that I got from the uh Webster's dictionary. Program. the first minute a brief statement or written outline of something. You know, when you go to uh uh to the church, you get a bulletin. That's basically your program as to what's going on, what's going to be happening. Number two, performance. There's always a program has built into it a performance, something that has to be done. Then number three, a plan of action. In other words, to accomplish what the program says. And number four, it's a sequence of coded instructions for a computer. And so the Bible says that Satan is the accuser of the brethren. So what I want you to say to see here is that Satan has a program against you, against your family, against your church, against your community, against the nation that you live in. You know what Satan's program is against you? Jesus uh uh briefly stated what the program is. I think it's John 10:10. The thief comes but to steal, to kill, and to destroy. Satan has a short program against each and every one of us. And that program says, I want to steal everything you have. I want to kill everything you have. I want to destroy everything that you have. in that program, he has a performance. He needs to perform on that. In other words, you can desire to steal somebody something that somebody has, but you can't have that unless you act upon it. So, Satan is actively acting upon you and me to steal and to kill and to destroy everything that God has given us. And we need to know that. We need to know that Satan does not take vacations. He doesn't rest in the Sabbath. He doesn't have pity or mercy. He's like the uh Terminator. He's bent, hellbent on destroying you every single moment of the day. That's all he thinks about how to activate the plan against you so that the plan of action so that he can steal. But the part that I want you to see here is a a sequence of coded instruction because this is where we get now to the human heart. You see, Satan knows knows without a doubt that when a person hears the gospel of Jesus Christ, he will accept the Lord. So he has a set of coded instruction that he's been passing down from generation to generation to generation that when you come into the place to where you're going to be blossom as if it were into the reality of the blessing because Jesus says Jesus short program for us is but I came that you may have life and have it in abundance. That's that's God's plan of action. That's what Jesus wants to perform on us. He wants us to have life and have it in abundance. This is the plan of action. This is what Jesus wants to perform of us. So when we accept the Lord Jesus Christ, Jesus sets in motion the blessings of love, joy, peace, longsuffering, goodness, gentleness, all of the good things of the spirit of God are set in motion. So Satan has a set of coded instruction that he has placed deep within each and every human heart. And as soon as we begin to be blessed, he begins to come against that push the button that would keep us from entering into the blessing. So if we do not have our broken hearts healed, we can never enter into the blessings of God. Because you see a broken heart like we deal uh uh is a heart that has been split. In in other words, the scripture there where where James James 1:7 and8 for let not that man suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord for he is a double-minded man. Satan's plan is to get you to be double-minded because if you're doubleminded, God's plan of action for your life cannot be brought into place. So you see the double-mindedness is simply two spirit, two personalities or two things motivating you. Remember how Jesus said to the disciples when he was telling them to pray, watch and pray. Jesus says the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak. Why? Because there is a imprinted coded program that Satan has in each and every one of each and every one of us heart that he is working on to bring about. And we need to understand unless we get that part of our heart healed, we can never receive or implement God's plan for our life. This is why Jesus says, "I came to heal the broken heart." The broken heart uh uh in in in James 17 and8 means a duplicate and we dealt with this on the last uh two lesson. When God created I need to repeat this for emphasis so that we understand when God created the human soul God made man out of a lump of clay. Then God who is a spirit breathe out of his spirit. breath came out of God's mouth. And as that breath came out, it went into the nostrils of of of of this lump of clay. And the Bible says that he became a living soul. Okay? This soul was a duplicate of God because soul and spirit are the same thing except soul has to do with the lives with the self life or with the personality. So that God created us to be a duplicate of himself. Let us make man in our image and after our likeness. So Satan and how did God created that duplication? By his word. See you cannot speak words without breath coming out of your mouth. So it was the very breath of God when God says let us make man man became a living soul. But Satan come in and say no. Did God say? Did God really say to Jesus is if you are the son of God? What? Questioning the authority of the word of God. So whenever we question the authority of the word of God, there's a split. There's a duplicate. Now there's one of us that lives in doubt and fear and there's one of us, the spirit that is willing. Okay. Now that leads me to the second word, condition. Remember program. It's a brief statement or written outline of something something to be performed performance to be activated with a plan of action or a sequence condition. Listen to put into a proper or desired condition. Now notice number two to adapt modify or mold to respond in a particular way. Many Christians live in so much grief and so much shame because they have been conditioned. They have been adopted. They have been modified to respond in a particular way. And I don't care how good you are, how much you bless God, how much Bible scripture you you you memorize, how much you read, how how much church attendance you go to. If you have been conditioned to respond in a particular way to a certain situation, all that Satan has to do is activate that against you and boom, you're there. Boom. Actually, you're there. If it's anger, you can have the nicest person in the world. You push that right button that says condition anger and you push that button and out goes that fuse and there went your testimony. It's the same way with every condition whether it's loss, whether it's fear, whether all of the things are there. Why? Because Satan somewhere along the line came in and adapted the plan that had God for you. He began to modify it by getting some people in your life. Oh, you're be a loser just like your dad or you'll never be. You'll be this or you'll be that or you'll be the other. And this begin to condition you to respond. See, this is why some people have a spirit of self-destruction upon them. They get blessed. They get the best job in the world. They buy a house and everything and there's something in there that is so miserable that condition that you'll never profit. You'll never be anything and they'll do everything that they can in the world to selfdestruct. Same way with marriage. Some people uh uh find the perfect man and woman that God has for them on their life and they do everything in the world to destroy that relationship. Why? Because they have been conditioned. They have been pre-programmed. They have been molded to respond. You'll never be a nobody. You don't deserve it. How many of us? Well, see, Jesus says, "I came to heal that part of your heart. So, you can't enjoy the blessings." When the woman got a hold of the of the hymn of his garment, Jesus could have just let it go and they kept going. Nobody needs to know. The Bible says Jesus did so many things. If it were written in the books, there wouldn't be enough room in the whole world to put it. Why did Jesus stop and say, "Hey, wait a minute." because he wanted that woman not only to have the healing but to have the peace that goes with the healing. He said, "My daughter, your faith has made you heal." That coin peace. We need to know that that God wants us to have that peace. Now Romans 7:20 is one that we used on the last section where we did says now if I do what I will not to do it is no longer I who do it but sin living in me. Okay. How many of you have seen a a movie or or show where here's the person and then he's got this little replica of himself here and it's got a halo and a is a little angel and then a replica of himself here with a bunch couple of horns and a and a pitchfork. And this is the angel Jew and the devil Jew. And and the angel Jew say, "Oh, no, no, no. You better don't do that. You know, that's not right." And they, "Oh, come on. let's do it, you know, and there's this this this struggle, you know, there is a duplicate of ourselves. And the Bible says very clearly that if when we're born again and we truly have a desire not to sin, if we continue to do, God is saying, you are programmed, you have been conditioned to do something by something that is within you. The Bible calls it sin. Sin that lives in us. that is just a duplicate of oursel who has been adapted or modified to sin, to hate, to lust, to fear, to all of these different spirits that are there. And God says it's not until Proverbs 11:9, until you know what you're up against. See, the reason why I taught last week on on on uh and I didn't even know it was going to be Father's Day uh uh that lesson. I didn't even think about it, but uh uh rejection because that is the key to everything. Rejection. If we can truly understand that God loves us, that when we sin, God sees that duplicate that is in the image of Satan. The duplicate that has been created in us is the one that's doing all those things. And that God truly in his heart is saying, "If you just give me a shot of your heart, I will break that thing off of you and I will recreate that duplicate that I've already placed in your born again spirit, I will make it to come alive in you." Okay. Now, let's go to Revelation 2:14. And I want to put it now into action to the church to where we are today. Remember in the book of Revelation, Jesus appears to John and he is dictating to John seven letters, two different seven churches. And everybody that knows anything about Scathology, uh that's the study of the things of the end. They know that this is the condition of the churches on the end times, the time that we're living in today. Each letter represents the condition of the church. And I want you to see in in verse 14 what Jesus says. But I have a few things against you because you have there those who hold the doctrine of Balum who taught Bailac to put a stumbling block before the children of Israel to eat things sacrificed to idols and to commit sexual immorality. What is the doctrine of Balor? The doctrine of balance is probably one of the greatest tools that Satan uses to take away the authority that Jesus has given to each and every one of us. The if if you read this the story of Balum, Balum was a prophet. Now, let me say this and and please listen. The fact that a person has a gift from God doesn't make that person uh uh right with God. Okay? I I I don't know which other way to put it. What I'm trying to say is that for example a a person that has given the gift of a good voice is a great singer or a person that's very talented of the arts. You can use that gift for good or for bad. Yes. Okay. You have a good voice, you can sing real good bad music or you can real good good music. You see? So there are gift. Balam was definitely a man who was gifted. Balam is a man who could see into the spirit realm and everybody knew it when the children of Israel are coming and remember God has promised a promised land to them. They're coming. So Bailo who is the king over there wants to destroy them. But Balac who is a very demonic individual knows that without a written program an act something that a plan of action he cannot destroy the children of Israel. He says now they are blessed of God. So they are blessed in the spirit realm. So I cannot take I cannot take them on on the physical realm because they have a spiritual backing. So I need to neutralize that spiritual authority that they have before I can take them on. Now why am I saying this? Because you have a spiritual backing. You have as a born again believer your name is written in heaven and Satan's plan of action is not going to work against you. Okay, if it if it confronts you here in the natural. So Bala says to Balam, "Okay, I need a a short program, something that I can act on. Since you're a man of God, since you look into the spirit, I want you to curse them. And as soon as you curse him, I'll take him on." So he says, "Okay, let me see." So Balon goes over there, he starts open his mouth, and nothing but blessings come on. What are you doing? Three times this is repeated. So Bailo could not take on the children of Israel because he didn't have a program or have an action. So what did Bailac do? He offered enough to Balam and Balam finally said, "You know what? You can't fight these people in the physical realm. They have the spiritual backing of God. You have to get them. You have to have their authority removed from them. And the way to do that is you go into the spirit realm and you get them to do something that will challenge the very authority that God has given them. And then you can take him on. Now notice what I said. It says uh Revelation 2:14, Balon who taught Bailo to put a stumbling block before the children of Israel. He taught him. He taught this guy. He said, "I can't curse him for you, but I can show you how you can take their authority away from them." What's the stumbling block? Eat food sacrifice to idol. You know what that means to us today? That means taking heed or paying attention to demonic doctrine. You see, this is why it's so important, my friend, that even what you watch on TVN, that even what you what you watch in Christian television, that even what you hear, because if there's a Bum over there who is really gifted of God and is sold out for the the the great uh castles and palace and their fame and all this fortune, these people are going to come in and they are going to present you a gospel that is not the true gospel of Jesus Christ. And when that gets you into a position where you begin to doubt the authority of Christ, then Satan had you here in the realm, his program against you is going to begin to work. But we have to be very careful because of look at second Timothy. Uh let's go there real quick. Second Timothy uh 3 and we'll read one to five. This is Paul warning us way ahead of time. But know this that in the last days perilous times will come. I want you to to to hold on to the word in your mind there. Perilous uh uh uh means times of stress. Okay? For men will be lovers of themselves. Now Balam can be put in that category. Balam was offered an awful lot of money and fame and fortune. He was later killed, by the way, by the Israelites. But he was offered lots and lots of things. And unfortunately many maybe not many I won't judge but I know for a fact that there are leaders within the realm of of the church within here the United States people that we look up to and stuff like that that I have no doubt have sold themselves to uh this you know the the fame and the fortune and the things to where you know you cannot even get close to these guys when they come around you know they're like superstars. charge uh and and and because of that lovers of money, boasters, proud blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiven, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, hotty, lovers of pleasure rather than loving of lovers of God. And look what it says in verse 5. This is what I want you to see. Having a form of godliness. This is not talking about the the rock stars, my friend. I don't think any of you here ever uh will associate the the the punk or or or the rappers or these people as having a form of godliness. You know, Madona doesn't have a form of governance and Britney Spears and all these other people. So, he's talking about religious leaders. Had to be. Yes. He cannot be talking about anybody else. It had to be talking about somebody who is giving you a word, you know, somebody who is influence or chaping what is going on in the churches today because you know uh uh if we all feed from the same trough uh uh uh you poison the water, everybody's going to get poisoned. This is why it's so important sometimes you need to fast certain things like that. allow only God to speak to you through his word and through your prayer and through your meditation. Sometimes you need to cleanse your mind from from the influences going around and stuff like that. Okay? I'm in a form of godliness by den remember we're talking about the precondition program because what happens is if I can bring it down a little bit here to earth when the doctor says to you you may have cancer and if it's there on that part it may be inoperable you may die right then and there the authority of Jesus Christ and says you are the Lord who heals me if it is not safely secured Satan will steal that healing from you the minute that you die. So, we need to have that that that that program of God in our hearts is what I'm trying to say. Instead of the program of the devil, we need to be preconditioned by God instead of being preconditioned by by by the devil. You know, when your car gets hit at 70 miles an hour and all of a sudden you're spinning around, what comes out of your mouth is something that have to be there. You don't have time to think it's going to be all right. We're going to be okay. We're going to be fine. Nothing's going to happen. See, that only comes out if it's already been put in there. Thank God that he put it there. But we need to do that for every aspect of our lives. That means we need to and and as the weeks come, uh I I want to make sure I'm going to give you all of the tools that you need to have the Lord do a really selfch check of your soul so that you can whatever demonic program is there. You know, many of us is generational divorce is a generational curse. Uh today people will come and say oh there's no such a thing as generational curses. How Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law. That's bail right there. You know if read what the curses of the law is. Sicknesses is part of the curse of the law. If we have been redeemed from the curse of the law automatically without without us doing anything. Why do Christians get sick? Why do the New Testament said if you get sick go to the elders have anoint you with oil. Haven't break the curse. That's right. Okay. The curses have to be broken. The program of Satan within us have to be broken. And I don't know, you know, we don't know when we minister to people, the hardest thing is to know what to do. But we do know that the principles of the word of God work. And if we put the principles of the word of God and if we do the prayers and things, God works. God makes it work. You know, if we're submitted, if we're willing, and sometimes it takes a while. Satan may have been working in that program within your family for a thousand years. They might if you could go back a thousand generation I mean a 100 generation uh in your life you could find out that this has been in your line all the way through and it might take some revelation from God. It may take certain things you need to do but we the good thing is that Jesus says I came to heal the broken heart. I came to take the two things that are divided and to make him one again. God wants to make us whole in every area. uh 2 Thessalonians 5 I think it says that that that your whole spirit that your soul and that your body may be kept blameless may be made all one. That is what God is wanting to do. And then he says and from such people turn away. Turn away. He says turn away from such people. What such people? People who are acting out of the flesh or selfish motivation. Let me tell you the soul has power. Psychics that operate in the you know psychic and soul is the same thing. Okay. Psychic that's a word for selfife. Okay. There is power in the supernatural realm and you can operate in that realm. You can go to a psychic or you can uh uh get new age uh uh books. You can get all the things with incantation and you will find out this is why wikah has so many bowlers especially young people because young people want to see power. Young people want to see something that's real. So they go for this stuff. They put a curse on somebody and that curse works. I heard of people that told us, I couldn't believe it when I put a curse on this person for her hair to fall out because they were jealous and envious of her and her hair begin to falling out, man. They were like, "Woo, this stuff it works. There's power there." But the problem with the the power in the psychic or or in the solish realm is that that is the supernatural realm where Satan operates. And Satan has stuff in you. And you get into that thinking, "Well, I can just use this power for good." Guess what? Satan is going to get your button and he's going to bound you more than ever before because this is how it works. That's how he does. So, we need to elevate ourselves. Get out of the psychic or the supernatural or the solish realm and only trust in the spirit realm or the the the Holy Spirit. Jesus said you will not need nobody to teach you. But when the Holy Spirit, the spirit of truth comes upon you, you will know what to do. When we separate ourself by what makes sense to the eyes, we will know what to do. That's what he's saying. Now, I'll close here. Hebrews 12:26-29 talks about that God wants to remove everything that is not eternal. 1 Corinthians 13:13. Uh uh but these things remain, faith, hope, and love. And the greater is love. when you say to God and this will move on into tonight. Uh I won't be here next week but there will be a class Fred is going to be covering uh for me and he's dealing uh with one of the areas that I have taught him that we're dealing. So he'll be here so please be here. I got to feel for a pastor that's having a a bypass thing done next week and tonight. I got to go there tonight too but I won't be here next week. But the week after that, when I get back, I'm going to get with the areas that as you begin to ask the Lord to remove that satanic programming and conditioning that we have all been brought up to, there's going to be a fire. There's going to be because our our God is a consuming fire. So, I want you to meditate on that scripture because we're going to deal with the scripture next time. Okay? Father, in the name of Jesus, I pray your blessing upon each and every one of your children here. I thank you for loving them, for keeping them. Thank you, Father God, for teaching us how to be set free from any control that the enemy may have over us. That we may truly and in all things glorify Jesus, the name that is above every name, the name of the only begotten son who died to deliver us from our sins. In Jesus name we thank you Lord. Amen.

JESUS IS THE SON OF GOD AND HE LOVES YOU To proclaim the good news of Jesus Christ as the Son of God, highlighting His birth, death, and resurrection as the greatest gift humanity has ever received. The message aims to encourage listeners to accept His love, confess Him as Lord and Savior, and embrace the free gift of eternal life He offers. JESUS IS THE SON OF GOD AND HE LOVES YOU Minister Lisa Kane December 25, 2022 Objective: To proclaim the good news of Jesus Christ as the Son of God, highlighting His birth, death, and resurrection as the greatest gift humanity has ever received. The message aims to encourage listeners to accept His love, confess Him as Lord and Savior, and embrace the free gift of eternal life He offers. Synopsis: In this Christmas message, Jesus is the Son of God and He Loves You, Lisa Kane shares the heart of the gospel, rooted in the humility and love of Christ. Beginning with Philippians 2:7–8, the teaching emphasizes how Jesus, though Creator of all, chose to humble Himself by being born as a man, living among us, and ultimately dying on the cross. His birth in Bethlehem, announced by angels and confirmed by shepherds, marked the fulfillment of God’s promise to send a Savior. The message walks through key scriptures (Luke 2, John 1, Matthew 16, 1 John 4–5, John 3, Romans 10, and more), each affirming Jesus’ identity as the Son of God. It stresses four central acknowledgments: His birth, crucifixion, resurrection, and the personal salvation available through confession and belief. The sermon contrasts Israel’s rejection of Jesus with the believer’s invitation to receive Him today, underscoring the urgency of responding before the return of Christ and the coming judgment. Lisa explains that salvation is not earned but freely given by God’s love through Christ, and that confessing Jesus as Lord brings transformation, forgiveness, and victory over sin, death, and the world. She calls on listeners to accept this priceless gift, leading them in a prayer of confession, and reminding them that Christmas is not only about His birth but also about the full gospel—His life, sacrifice, and resurrection. The message closes with encouragement to abide in Christ’s love, share the gospel with others, and live as overcomers through faith, celebrating the true meaning of Christmas: Jesus is the Son of God, and He loves you. Inspired Teaching: Hello and welcome to the House of Faith Ministries. I'm Lisa Kane. I'm recording this on Sunday, December 25th, 2022. Merry Christmas. This message is called Jesus is the son of God and he loves you. Let's open up in a word of prayer. Father God, we bless this message and we thank you for your blessing on it as well so that we have knowledge, understanding, wisdom, and we know what your love is. we can experience it, share it with others, and share the good news, the gospel that you not only came as a man and was born, but you also went to the cross and humbled yourself before the heavenly father and did what you needed to do to save us. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you our savior in the name of Jesus. Amen. All right, let's go to our opening scripture here. We are looking at Philippians 2 7 and 8. but made himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bondervant, and coming in the likeness of men. And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross. what we're going to be talking about here on December 25th here at the end of 2022 is the greatest gift that you could ever receive and that is acknowledging that Jesus Christ is the son of God and asking him to forgive you of your sins. Letting him be your Lord and Savior and letting him letting him change you on the inside because he loves you so much that when he realized he was born a man, he you know he's the one who created this world. You know he is the embodiment of let there be light. He is the numa the power. He was there in the beginning. Go read John 1:1 through4. He was there in the beginning and nothing is created without him. And he actually gave himself a role in his creation by being born a male child and not only being born but then humbling himself to the point of going to the cross and cru getting crucified. Uh you know this is the greatest gift you know it is acknowledging that Jesus Christ is the son of God. One acknowledging that he was born which brings the good news. Two, acknowledging that he was crucified. Three, acknowledging that he was resurrected. Four, and acknowledging that you can be saved if you would simply confess. What a gift. What a great gift. What a thing that Jesus did. It is so powerful and so true. He is Jesus Christ is the son of God and he loves you because he did this for us. you, me, doesn't matter what you did. Let's continue. Let's look at the scriptures now. Let's look at his birth. Luke 2:10-12. Then the angel said to them, "Do not be afraid, for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which will be to all people. For there is born to you this day in the city of David, a Savior, who is Christ the Lord." And this will be the sign to you. you will find a babe wrapped in swaddling clothes lying in a manger. So, did they find him? Because that's the sign that they gave him. Let's continue on. Look at verse 15. Now, so it was when the angels had gone away from them into heaven that the shepherds said to one another, "Let us now go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has come to pass, which the Lord has made known to us." And they came with haste and found Mary and Joseph and the babe lying in a manger. Now when they had seen him, they made widely known the saying which was told them concerning this child. The angels came and told them what to do, where to go, and how to find their Messiah, their savior, and they found him. You know, I have been teaching about the wise men finding, which was remarkable in and of itself, but these guys did, too. So the angel said, "You go to the town of Bethlehem. You're going to find the babe lying in a manger wrapped in swaddling clothes." And they did. I mean, how odd of a situation is that? So, here was such such an odd event, but he did it and he became a child, a male child, knowing that he's going to have to grow up, become a man, and humble himself before the Lord and be crucified because he loves us. Let's continue. First John 5:20. And we know that the son of God has come and has given us an understanding that we may know him who is true and we are in him who is true in his son Jesus Christ. This is the true God and eternal life. I'm telling you, the scriptures are telling you that Jesus wasn't just a good man or a good guy, cool guy, a prophet, but he's the son of God, and that he came to die for you. The nation of Israel was expecting a king who would save them out of their what they thought was trials and tribulations. Jesus is coming as king. But he didn't come as king the first time. He came as the son of God, the Messiah, perfect with his love. He humbled himself and took the pain of the cross in humiliation because he loves you. And then you now have the opportunity to say, "Jesus, you are the son of God." Let's continue. Matthew 16:15-17. He said to them, "But who do you say that I am?" This is that was Jesus talking. Simon Peter answered and said, "You are the Christ, the son of the living God." Jesus answered and said to him, "Blessed are you, Simon Barjonah, for flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my father who is in heaven." Jesus and the heavenly father have been letting the world know that Jesus is the son of God. And that was what all the hubbhub was about. why Israel got so mad being called the king of the Jews because they rejected him. They said if he was truly the king, he wouldn't have let himself get up on the cross and be humiliated the way he does. And in fact, because he was so humiliated, the nation of Israel said there there is no way this is our God. That there's no way that this is the son of God. And you see now they get to be the guest of honor during the seven-year God's wrath time period that's coming. So they rejected. So don't do what Israel did and reject Jesus as a son of God. He is the son of God and he loves you. He loves you so much. He became born a child. What aches and ailments and pains do we have as we grow up in our childhood? How much suffering, rejection we go through? Pain and suffering, sicknesses, diseases, and some die prematurely. Jesus went through it all and took it to the cross and then took your sin that you committed, I committed, opened the door for, allowed in. He took it to the cross and said, "I take it and I apply my blood to it." And he cleansed it. He redeemed us and he rose from the dead. This is what Christmas should be about is his resurrection. So, you're celebrating his birth, his resurrection, the death, and his resurrection. Oh, hallelujah. This is the son of God. Continue. Let's continue on. 1 John 4:9. In this the love of God was manifested toward us that God has sent his only begotten son into the world that we might live through him. Now we get to live through him because we acknowledge that Jesus is the son of God. Look at this. 1 John 4:15. Whoever confesses that Jesus is the son of God, God abides in him and he in God. You have this relationship when you say Jesus you are the son of God and you say I ask you to forgive me of my sins. You see, it's a free gift. You do not have to work for your salvation for eternity. You work to better your relationship with God, but you don't have to work for the free gift of eternal life because Jesus did it for you. And it's a gift. And all you have to say is, "I'm sorry. You're the son of God. Come into my life. Be my Lord and Savior. And let's abide with one another. teach me your ways so that I may get closer to you and be more like you and share the good news with this world. Oh, hallelujah. Hallelujah. This is amazing, you guys. This is this is the good news that the angels were talking about. Let's continue. John 3 15-1 17. That whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that whoever believes in him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send his son into the world to condemn the world but that the world through him might be saved. You see as a king he has to condemn the world and he will. But as a savior, as the son of God, he came to might say the you see that go back says that through him, but that the world through him might be see might because not everybody's going to do this that people are going to reject. That's what they do. But you have a choice. You're listening to this. You need to acknowledge, confess that Jesus is the son of God. and ask him to be your Lord and Savior. It changes you on the inside. Changes your DNA. Changes your whole persona because now you're demonstrating the love that God showed us. He loved us so much. He gave his son. So now when you need to sacrifice for your loved ones, sacrifice time, sacrifice atonement, you need to atone for them, pray for them, give them to God, and hope that they might get saved. You start to have that love that God had because God is saying, "I love these people." He said to Jesus, "I need you to go save them." And Jesus said, "I got this." He came as a man and he humbled himself and said, "I take your sin and I forgive you. Do you want my forgiveness?" And all you have to say is yes. Oh, hallelujah. Hallelujah. This is an awesome message. Confess that Jesus is Lord. Jesus is the son of God. Let's look at first John uh 5:es 1-5. Whoever believes that Jesus is the Christ is born of God and everyone who loves him who begot also loves him who is begotten of him. See, when you love the way God loves, now those that sin around you, whether ignorant or doing it on purpose, who hate you, all of a sudden, nah, I know it's not you. It's a demon behind the scenes, I know God loves you. I love you. I forgive you. Jesus forgives you. And all of a sudden, the power of forgiveness, the power of love moves. This is what love is all about. You know, when the world says, "Well, love is love. You've got to accept me in my sin for whoever I am." Guess what? No, I don't. But what I can say is that Jesus is the son of God and I love you, not your sin. But I'm telling you to confess Jesus as the son of God. And he will change you in such a way that you won't ever want to sin again. You see, you want to sin right now because it's pleasurable, but it's pleasurable for a season, but it opens the door for consequences. Do you really want to live those consequences? Some of you already are. You already know you had to stop sinning because the Lord worked a a a transgression in you. He worked something in you to chastise you, to get you back on your feet. He He brought a sin into your life to heal you in the long run. So in other words, like a cancer, he opened the door. He allowed that to happen. God is in control of everything. So you get a cancer. That's because you've been sinning and he's saying, "I need you to come back. I will heal you if you acknowledge that Jesus is the son of God and ask me to forgive you. I will do it because I love you. But I have to do these things because I got to get your attention. Do you see how this works? How this gets manifest. Let's continue on here. Verse two. By this we know that we love the children of God when we love God and keep his commandments. For this is the love of God that we keep his commandments and his commandments are not burdensome. What? So you spend time with God in his word because it is fascinating to find out who he is. Can you imagine getting to know the creator of who made you? It is absolutely amazing and it is divine. It is absolutely incredible to spend time with the Lord. And you still have to go out in the world. You still got to go do your things. You know what, Jesus? Drink wine. Go have a little wine. Don't let it abuse you. Don't let it control you. You know, this is the things that you begin to learn and understand as a believer in Christ when you confess that Jesus is the son of God. Let's continue on verse four. For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. Then see when you confess Jesus is God. Jesus is the son of God. You are of God now. And did you see this? Look at this. You're born of God and you're you overcome the world. You overcome cancer. You overcome CO. You overcome death. You see, your eternal life now is in God's hand. And if you're alive on the day of the Lord, when the rapture takes place, you overcome death because you already died to sin. And you died to this world because it changed you. That is the better. That is the better. Let's continue on. And this is the victory that has overcome the world. Our faith. You see, you have to take a step of faith for this. It's very challenging. I get that. But it's taking a step of faith. How do you do that? You talk, you confess that Jesus is Lord. You say, "Okay, Lord, I can't see you, but you know what? I'm going to take a leap of faith here and I'm going to say that you are the son of God and that I'm asking you to forgive me." It's a leap of faith. So now look at what he says. And this is the victory that has overcome the world. Our faith you overcome because now you become part of God. God becomes a part of you. You are now an overcomer. And look at this. Who is he who overcomes the world but he who believes that Jesus is the son of God? You become an overcomer because you confess and believe that Jesus is the son of God. Now let's take a look at what Jesus did for his death. Because you got to understand he was born. This was good news but he had to die. Let's look at the death and the resurrection. Matthew 27:5-53. And Jesus cried out again with a loud voice and yielded up his spirit. Then behold, the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom, and the earth quaked, and the rocks were split, and the graves were opened, and many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised. And coming out of the graves after his resurrection, they went into the holy city, and appeared to many. Can you imagine that? You know, he buried Aunt Lulu, Aunt Suzy, Uncle John, and all of a sudden they come up knocking on you. I got to tell you about Jesus. And you're just like, that had to be most interesting. I'm going to tell you that. But I'm going to tell you something here. When Jesus died, he was crucified and that temple or the veil in the temple was torn into which was a thick carpet. He did something so powerful that this is going to be for the end times. He tore his representation out of the hands of the nation of Israel and gave it to himself which then as he walked around for 40 days after the crucifixion, he said, "I'm leaving. I'm going to go away for a while. Here you represent me." You see, when you confess Jesus as the son of God, now you represent him. He says, "Get as many people as you can saved because there's going to come a point where that salvation will come to an end." Now, let's look at his resurrection here. It says Matthew 28:5-6, "But the angel answered and said to the women, "Do not be afraid, for I know that you seek Jesus who was crucified. He's not here for he is risen as he said, "Come see the place where the Lord lay." So you can see he was born a man. He humbled himself before the Lord, went to the cross, died a humiliating death in his loin cloth of all things. And then he rose from the dead and redeemed you. Gave you salvation, a free gift, the greatest gift that you can open up on December 25th. Look at this. Romans 10:9 and through 10 and verse 13. 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. For with the heart one believes in righteousness and with the mouth confession is made into salvation. And then verse 13, for whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved. You see, you confess that Jesus is the son of God. You become a part of God and God becomes a part of you and you accept that free gift. Now, the nation of Israel rejected Jesus as the son of God and they crucified him. They've got front row seats to the sevenyear tribulation time period of God's wrath. Now, they'll be covered. God's going to protect them, but they have to go through that. You don't have to go through that. You see, you confess today now that Jesus Christ is the son of God. Accept his love. Accept his mercy because doesn't matter what you did. You could have killed someone. Doesn't matter. He will forgive you of anything and everything. But once you die, you don't get that grace anymore. And I will also tell you this that once the rapture happens at the day of the Lord, it happens sometime on that day. We don't know the time. We don't know when that day is. We don't know the day nor the hour, but we know it. It's a part of that event structure in there. When that happens, the message we teach today no longer is applicable. You can no longer now say Jesus is the son of God. You might not even be able to do it. Now, in that seven-year tribulation, the first five months, nobody can die. And then after that, because nobody can die, after that it is highly likely you will have to die to show God that you truly are acknowledging that he is the son of God. So anyone alive on the day of the Lord that acknowledges Jesus is the son of God, you're in a special place with the Lord. He's got you covered and he's going to take you out because you are not appointed to go through that wrath of the seven-year tribulation. But anyone who does not confess Jesus as the son of God will have to go through that seven-year period. And the first five months, you cannot die. And there's going to be horselike scorpion things, demonic things coming around stinging you, and you will be in suffering. I don't wish that on anyone. I don't wish hell on anyone. I am begging you and asking you to accept this free gift from Jesus while you still can. Jesus is the son of God and he loves you. That doesn't matter what you've done. You can ask for forgiveness and be saved. Oh, hallelujah. Let's say it together. Jesus, repeat after me. Jesus, I acknowledge that you are the son of God, and I ask you to forgive me of my sins because I've sinned. I'm sorry. I ask you to come into my heart and be my Lord and Savior. Jesus name. Amen. And that, my friend, is what we celebrate as a believer in Christ with Christmas and the resurrection day, also known as Easter. I don't call it Easter, call it resurrection day. Well, let's close in a word of prayer. And I wish you God's blessings on your beautiful day here with your family and loved ones. Father God, we bless you. We thank you. We thank you Jesus for your salvation, your mercy and your grace, for humbling yourself and saving us. I pray that many, many, many and everyone receive you and live for you and acknowledge that you are the son of God in the name of Jesus. Amen. God bless you and I'll see you in the next message. I will see you in 2023. Bye. Bye. Previous Next Related Teachings Heading 6 Teaching Title Heading 6 Button Heading 6 Button Home

THE GIFT OF LIFE The objective of this message is to reveal the divine origin and meaning of life as a gift from God, examining how sin altered the natural order of creation and introduced aging, death, and brokenness into the world. It aims to connect the Genesis account with the New Testament teaching on eternal life through Christ, encouraging believers to repent, walk with God, and embrace His gift of life both now and in eternity. THE GIFT OF LIFE Minister Lisa Kane June 26, 2022 Objective: The objective of this message is to reveal the divine origin and meaning of life as a gift from God, examining how sin altered the natural order of creation and introduced aging, death, and brokenness into the world. It aims to connect the Genesis account with the New Testament teaching on eternal life through Christ, encouraging believers to repent, walk with God, and embrace His gift of life both now and in eternity. Synopsis: In this teaching, Lisa Kane explores the biblical truth that life itself is God’s gift, rooted in His original creation. Opening with Romans 6:23, she contrasts the wages of sin—death—with God’s gift of eternal life through Jesus Christ. Drawing from Genesis, Lisa explains how the patriarchs experienced longevity before sin corrupted creation, noting that aging began only after the fall when Adam and Eve disobeyed God. She walks through the progression of sin in humanity: the disobedience of Eve, Cain’s murder of Abel, and Lamech’s violence, showing how sin accelerated corruption in the earth. Historical events such as the flood, the Tower of Babel, and the division of the continents are tied to the destructive weight of sin. Yet, amid judgment, God preserved the righteous, such as Noah, as examples of His sustaining gift of life. Lisa emphasizes that while sin shortens lifespans and accelerates aging, repentance and relationship with God bring renewal, blessing, and spiritual vitality. She draws parallels to today’s society, pointing out the moral decay that mirrors the wickedness of ancient times. The message culminates with the hope of eternal life through Christ (John 3:15–17), reminding listeners that true life is only found in Him. Ultimately, “The Gift of Life” calls believers to turn away from sin, embrace God’s righteousness, and live with the eternal perspective of salvation, knowing that Jesus has redeemed humanity from the curse of death. Inspired Teaching: Hello and welcome to the House of Faith Ministries. I'm Lisa Kane and I'm recording this on Sunday, June 26, 2022. This message is called the gift of life. Let's open up in a word of prayer. Father God, we bless this message and we thank you for your blessing on it. Let us receive, apply it to our lives, believe it, walk it, live it, and share it with others. Father God, we thank you. We thank you for your word, your nourishment for us. spiritually. We thank you in the glorious name of Jesus. Amen. Amen. Let's open up in our opening scripture here. We're going to be looking at Romans 6:23. For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. Okay. So, I'm going to be talking about aging today, which is kind of an unusual topic, but I've done a lot of in-depth studies and teachings on Genesis. I did a a study on evolution. You can go look at my past messages on there showing you proof that Genesis is real. And this is a factual text, uh, a historical factual text. This is not storyland. These are not stories. These are real events that took place. So, I'm going to address the aging of the patriarchs during the Genesis time and why sin plays a role in it and why we age differently today than we did back then. So, it's going to be one of those interesting messages here that we're going to be talking about. So, as you can see here, Paul is the one that really kind of puts it together in the New Testament when he says the wages of sin is death. What is sin? Sin is dying. So, let's take a look at what happened in Genesis and what caused us to start aging. Okay? Uh because I'm going to show you when it wasn't aging and then I'm going to show you when it started aging and what happened. And I do apologize, you're going to hear my fans and air conditioner running. Uh it is currently 99 degrees here. I live in the desert here in Southern California. And uh the high I think it's supposed to be 104, but if it's 99 right now and it's 11:41, I guess it's going to be a little hotter, but no problem. So, sorry for the sound quality, but that's the way it's going to be today. So, let's go to our next scripture here in Genesis. So, in Genesis 2:19-20, we're going to see something very interesting here. Out of the ground, the Lord God formed every beast of the field and every bird of the air and brought them to Adam to see what he would call them. And whatever Adam called each living creature, that was its name. So Adam gave names to all cattle, to the birds of the air, and to every beast of the field. But for Adam, there was not found a helper comparable to him. Okay? So it's a very interesting scripture. Now, keep in mind, I've already done an in-depth study on Genesis, chapters 1, 2, 3, and four. You're more than welcome to go check all that out. So chapter one is a planning phase. It's like creating the blueprints for the world. So in in essence, you can look at it as God assembling all the materials that he needs for the world that he was making. So in essence, he's in his workshop. He's got his workbench. He's got a bowl here filled with water. That's going to be the ocean. A bowl here filled with earth. That's going to be the earth. So it's a planning phase. And when you read Genesis 2:1, you'll see the application in movement like the earth is now operating and and in motion and God is putting in all the elements as it functions more very clear when you look at it from that perspective. That's what Genesis 1 and 2 is talking about. So here and in Genesis 1, you know, he talks about forming man out of earth uh and forming warm man in his image. So you hear him talk about that, but you don't see him applied yet. So here in chapter 2, he's applied, but notice Eve is not there because God talks about he needs a helper comparable to him. So let's go look at that that last part of the scripture there. But for Adam, there was not found a helper comparable to him. So Eve is not in the picture yet. So Adam is naming all these animals. Adam and God are bonding. They're having they're relating to one another. They're getting to know one another. God is getting to know his beloved because this is his offspring. In his image were made. And that is incredible because you know God did something. You guys have no idea. You got to really think this through. We are such a complex being that um we can't create that out of anything else we try. Look at my study on evolution. You will see that we cannot do that. So we have offspring and then the gift of life, the breath of life goes into the newborn and then becomes a person in his image. So this is it's very interesting how God created all of this. Okay. So, but there's something interesting here. There's a mystery here. So, he's naming all these animals. Now, you have to understand that every animal that God has ever created was alive at this time. There was no death because there's no sin. Remember, the wages of sin is death. Nobody's died. No animal has died. There's a interesting mystery here. So, Adam being the only human being on the planet in his little world here, God is bringing all these animals. How long did it take Adam to name all the animals when every one of them existed? Now, granted, he's only naming, let's see here, um the beast of the field and the bird of the air, all the cattle and uh so birds, cattle, beast of the field. So that's basically what he was naming. But you're talking dinosaurs, you're talking dogs, cows, horses, zebras, you know, or maybe a zebra came later because it is kind of in the horse kind, if you will. So he's naming kinds. And a kind is its own species, if you will. So he doesn't name poodles and German shepherds. He names a dog. So male and female dog, male and female elephant, male and female giraffe. These are all animals in their own kind. So, there's a lot of them, just not as many as you think. But how long do you think it took him to do that? Days, weeks, months, years, and sin hasn't happened. The sun goes up, the sun comes down. In fact, it doesn't even mention that Adam sleeps. Did he need to sleep? You got to wonder about how the world was then. So, you're looking at this and you're thinking, "Okay, uh, he named him. Don't know how long that took." So, he's not aging because there's no sin in the land. So, if you know, one way to think of it is when the morning came and if Adam did go to sleep and he woke up, he woke up the same person he was the day before. He did not age. He did not uh grow. He is the same the yesterday, that day, and the next day until sin came. Interesting concept, right? So, let's look at what happened when sin came because you're now seeing the earth wasn't aging. You're seeing animals weren't dying. You know that there is no rain on the earth because when we talk about the flood, you're going to see that there was no rain at that time up until the flood. So this is fascinating. The world then was different. God made the world perfect, whole, complete. This is the place for us to be and where we want to be today really. But we live in sin now. And sin changed everything. So let's look at what happened when sin entered the world. So, we're now in Genesis 3:es 4-5. Then the serpent said to the woman, "You will not surely die. For God knows that in the day you eat of it, your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil." The devil lied to Eve. Okay, I'm not going to give you every scripture here. I want you to go and study it for yourself. Look at what happened here. Look at the scene between Adam and Eve and what happened when the serpent came in. So God placed Eve in the garden and then God left. He gave them time for their little honeymoon. So the serpent comes along and he's standing there by that tree of knowledge that God told him not to eat of. And he's convincing Eve, you're not going to die. you're going to be like God. And she's tempted. Now, I want you to realize something. Adam is sitting right next to her. So, she takes the fruit. She takes a bite. He hands it to him. He takes a bite, too. Now, I want you to think about this for a moment because when you really think this through, there is some powerful elements going on here. What if Adam in his conversations with God while naming the animals knew what was going to happen? I would imagine that Adam had a lot of questions. We're curious creatures. We want to know what's going on. So when Eve did that, Adam was in La La Land. He's in his honeymoon. He's as happy as a clam. He's probably not thinking thoroughly through. But when she goes to grab the fruit, either he didn't react fast enough to tell her, "No, no, no, don't do it." Or the fact that he didn't say anything, wonder, I have to wonder. Did already God tell him what was going to happen? And he let it happen. And he could have, he had a choice not to take that bite, but she's his wife. They were a whole the two together. They're not uh they're a half now because they're married. So he's half, she's half, and that's the way that works. So he took that by two. But I want you to see when you go look at those curses because they were cursed. The serpent was cursed, the e Eve was cursed, woman was cursed, and then the earth was cursed, not Adam. Adam didn't sin. You got to understand that. So this is very very interesting because now all of a sudden things look a little bit different when you look at this transaction that takes place. Now something did happen you know and if you take a look at some scientists today and ancient aliens even they are acknowledging this is that they think it's an evolution and that somewhere along the lines something came along and changed the concept of mankind from you know being cavemen to today but it this change did take place. Eve and Adam knew they were naked. They knew. So they actually had a change, a physical change in the mental sense. They became aware that they are naked beings and that they sinned and they have shame. Now this was a concept that didn't come in until that very very moment. Now the devil did lie because he said you won't die. Well hold on a second. Let's look at the physical evidence here. Remember this is factual historical evidence. Genesis 5:5. So all the days that Adam lived were 930 years and he died. Wait a second. Okay. So he did die. Eve eventually died too. I It doesn't document her age when she died. So he lived 930 years. That's a long time. He didn't sin. He wasn't living in sin. But the moment they took that fruit and they ate of it, that was day one. and sin aging began. But prior to that moment, there was no aging on the earth. Okay. Now, I want to show you the first document. Well, the second document of sin. Eve is the first document. Here's the second document of sin in Genesis. Watch this. Genesis 4:8. Now Cain talked with Abel his brother and it came to pass when they were in the field that Cain rose up against Abel his brother and killed him. Now you can go again read the story the event. It's not a story the event in total to see what was going on between Cain and Abel. Cain got pretty jealous and bitter because God rejected his offering and he accepted Cain's and so he got mad at him and he killed him and he let it bubble up. Well, that's sin number two documented in Genesis. Now, that's very interesting because what's going on here is if Adam lives 930 years and now the earth is starting to get populated, death comes in the picture quicker. We've got a murder that takes place. Now, let's continue on. Now all the patriarchs that lived during that time 10 generations they lived 800 900 plus years and these are not um uh uh these are true years 365 days a year. This is not uh an analogy. This is these are actual years. The the root word in Genesis applies this as a year. So please understand again this is factual evidence and sin changed the element of our aging. This is why evolution can't happen. This is another reason why evolution can't happen. They they're still looking at it as we've just evolved. No, no, no. There was an actual change in mankind that took place and it happened at the moment that Adam and Eve partake of the fruit that they weren't supposed to. So let's go look at the next documented sin again. Here we are at another murder. Genesis 4:23. Then Lamech said to his wives, Ada Azilla, hear my voice. Wives of Lamech, listen to my speech for I've killed a man for wounding me, even a young man for hurting me. Now he he's acknowledging he killed this guy and it sounds like he did it out of revenge for hurting him and not giving forgiveness. So you've got another documented sin here. Now the world is populating. So you've got murder taking place. So animals have got to be dying in this time frame because God had killed an animal to clothe Adam and Eve. So now they're killing animals to eat. So they're eating of the earth and they're eating of the meat. So this is now the new earth that is in play and things are happening rapidly. Eve is having children and as she's having children, her great great grandchildren are having children at the same time she's having children. So, who knows how many kids she ended up having because it does not document it. But it had to be a lot boys and girls and then they started mating as they became adults. 930 years is a long time. So, just talking from Adam's age perspective. So, up to the flood, you're talking about 1500 years. So this is very very interesting that you're seeing something here totally different of the way the world was at that time because now God says something different. Okay? So you've got the documented sin of Eve, the documented sin of Cain, and the documented sin of Lamech. But the world is populating. Look what God says next about sin. Genesis 6:5. Then the Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth and that every intent of his of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. Oh now if you really want to know what this is implying and this is actually fascinating what he says here is uh the book of Jasher and the book of Enoch and it could be just one or the other and I'm don't remember off the top of my head but you can go look those up. They may not be part of the Bible, but they have historical records that align with the Bible. So, they're very good information to have. Uh, but they talk about the neighborhood and what it was like. And people were living in such a way that they were trying to well, people didn't sleep or did very little sleep because they were guarding their home because they knew their neighbor was after their goods or even their lives. So, it was a, you know, I got to protect myself because I know that neighbor is creepy and he's coming after me if I let my guard down. That's the idea of how that was. Uh, and of course, it was also the idea of what can I make myself feel good with? Well, if I kill you, I'll feel good. it. So that mentality was going on. And you can see that mentality creeping into society today. I mean, look at what the the women who are protesting about having a pro-choice. They're walking around with blood between their legs and baby dolls between their legs and hitting them. And it's like, you just murdered a baby. And in their mind, no, I have the right to do that. And it's like, whoa, whoa. You don't have the right to murder someone. You have the right to not get into bed with unprotected sex, but you don't have the right to murder a baby. It's got blood. The blood of life. You can't live without blood flowing through your veins. And this is why they're showing you the blood all over themselves. We want to remove that life. That's the mentality. That's the demonic activity behind all of this. So, you've got this concept that comes into the time of Noah and the flood. Now, we all know in science that they did prove the flood took place. So, let's look at what the Bible says about the flood because I really want to apply some scriptures here about it. So, I don't want you just to assume what the story is. At the same time, I do want you to go look at the scriptures and learn of them and study them for yourselves because you'll get more out of it from when you read it. versus somebody interpreting it for you. Amen. Genesis 7:10 through11. It came to pass after seven days that the waters of the flood of of the flood were on the earth. In the 600th year of Noah's life, the patriarchs were living long lives. There was now Noah like Lot was living in a time where there was sin around him, but he was not sinning. He was considered a righteous man is what God called him. And notice he's already 600 years old when the flood is coming. So here in the 600 year of Noah's life in the second month, the 17th day of the month, on that day all the fountains of the great deep were broken up and the windows of heaven were open and the rain was on the earth 40 days and 40 nights. Now I want you to see something here. That is what this message is all about. every person living in sin and the righteous that were not going to make it through the flood which was Methuselah. He was the last uh patriarch and righteous man there. He died. His name actually meant that when he died this flood was coming that um all of them had their lives shortened because they lived in sin. They did not have the right to live past the 600, 700, 800, 900 year because they lived in sin. Oh, sin and aging are they go hand in hand. And so now I want you to see how long Noah actually lived. And this was even after the flood. Again, though, they're repopulating the earth. So there's not a lot of people. They are sinning. We're going to get to that in a minute. And you're going to see the dynamics change here. and shift because God had to make some big changes at this moment. But look how long Noah lived. Says here in Genesis 9:29, so all the days of Noah were 950 years and he died. He outlived Adam and he went through the flood. Oh hallelujah. So God takes righteous people and he will let you live. You have the blessing of life to live. Amen. That is the gift of life from God. God is the gift of life. And when you spend time with God, you have life. Oh, this message is awesome. And I really want you to grab it. Now, again, I'm not going to go into all the scriptures after the flood, but you can go and look at this. Genesis, the book of Jasher, the book of Jasher and Genesis are very similar books. Um, Jasher goes into a little more detail. You'll find out about Abraham as a young man where you don't see that in Genesis. So, it's very interesting how Abraham discovers who God is. It's a really fascinating story. You might want to get in there and take it out. Take a look at it. So, what happens is after the flood takes place, Noah and his family repopulate the earth. So, children are having children, they're marrying, they're having children. So, uh Noah's sons are having children and then their children children are all marrying. And anyways, so about the fourth, third to fifth generation, somewhere's right around there was a guy named Nimrod. And uh now God had told mankind, go populate the earth, be fruitful and multiply. So go out. That's what he told them to do. They stayed. And not only did they stay, they followed this guy Nimrod and decided to build a tower because Nimrod had it in his mind. I'm going to get as tall as God so I can kick his butt. I'm going tell you right now, I don't know what this man was thinking, but it he was way off the mark because God's looking going, "Yeah, really? You're gonna do that? Go for it. Let's see how far you get." So something happens here because I I want you to understand something. So God destroys the earth. He didn't end mankind. He let Noah and his family survive knowing full well what mankind was going to do again. They've already done it once. They're going to do it again. But you know what God was thinking? And I'm pretty confident of this. may not be biblical scripture, but I'm pretty confident of this. He knew that Lisa and any other righteous person living today was going to call on him and believe. He already said though scripturally that he was going to send his son to redeem us. He already had that in the plan. He knew what he was doing. He was going into that plan. So Jesus was coming. So he allowed this to happen and he allowed it to continue on because he knew about those of us still who hadn't been born yet who would believe. And he says they're going to love me and I want to give them that chance. Incredible. I just love the Lord so much. So the tower of babel takes place a great earthquake happens at this time and the tower of babel and the earthquake are documented in Genesis. You will see uh there's more information in the book of Jasher but look at this very interesting scripture and I got to show this to you because I want you to understand how the world was then and how it is now. which is why science is struggling with this. Okay, so look at this interesting scripture out of the blue. Genesis 10:25. To Eber were born two sons. The name of one was Palele. For in his days the earth was divided and his brother's name was Jckton. In his days the earth was divided. Wait, all the continents weren't all one or weren't separate pieces? That's interesting. So basically what he's saying here is that after the Tower of Babel and that earthquake takes place, this kid pale is born and by the way that's a root root word and it means shaking and rushing of water coming up. Okay. So basically when this great earthquake happened, by the way, Nimrod documents the statement at that time because he survived the earthquake and he said, "Oh, God saved me from my enemies." I hope he called on God to believe at the end, but I don't think he did. But anyways, whatever the case was, this guy survives. He documents that the earth did have a great shaking at this time and that's when the continents pulled apart. So let's understand what happened here. Sin sin caused the flood. You know God brought in the flood. Now God made the earth perfect. So all the earth was one piece of land. And you know what? Most scientists actually agree with that. They just think it was billions of years ago. But they all agree that Panga, which is all the contents put together, all existed as one in the past. And that is actually a true statement. They did exist as one. It's when Paleleg was born, when that great earthquake happened, that's when they broke. And this was after the flood. And this was after the Tower of Babel. So, and in fact, they have this also documented. This is where all the cultures came into be because when the Tower of Babel was broken, language was broken. And so you had all these people split apart. So you had Asians over here, Hispanics over here, Indians over here, uh, Europeans over here. So you had all of these different cultures. And when the land broke apart, those cultures were on their own piece of land. And now all of a sudden, you've got cultures in existence, different culture, and they all came into existence at the same time. And in fact, they all talk about the flood, every single one of them. And they all talk about eight people surviving. It's a a factual event that took place and it's because of sin. So sin when the water God broke the fountains of the deep and they became weak. So when mankind started sinning again and going building this tower following this guy and not spreading out and populating the earth being fruitful multiplying no instead God says okay this is weak. I'm going to break I'm going to cause a shaking. And he shook the ground and it was the weight of sin that broke it further. And and if you take a look, you drive through a mountain, look at the mountains and how everything it's broken. Everything is broken. I mean, it's beautiful. We live in it today. We live in this brokenness. And in fact that's when age started slowing uh excuse me increasing in speed meaning they got they died at a younger age. So this is when all of this change took place because now sin is prominent in the world. It is a major factor in the world. People are living in sin and they're born in it and they just go with it. And it took the redemption of Jesus Christ to come to change that and to give us the element of that. So now and in fact just kind of show you how God is still talking about this. This is very very important. I want you to understand you do not have the gift of life if you're living in sin. He will end your life prematurely. Look what he did here to Sodom and Gomorrah. Genesis 19:24-25. Then the Lord rained brimstone and fire on Sodom and Gomorrah from the Lord out of the heavens. And so he overthrew those cities, all the plain, all the inhabitants of the cities, and what grew on the ground. He said, "You're going to live in sin. This is what I'm going to do to you." And sin is pleasurable. You know, people get hooked up to, but you got to break free from it and make a stand and say, "God, I choose you." And and I will tell you right now, you keep looking back at sin, you got a problem. Lot's wife here, go back, read these scriptures. She she desired it so much and was missing it that, you know, she turned into a pillar of salt. She just dried up. How many people do you look at today that are dried up, been on drugs, had a rough life really, and they could be 50 years old, but they look like they're 70. I'm telling you, sin and age go right hand in hand. And if you there is no magical bottle of illusion that you can take that's going to help you look younger or feel younger on the inside. You know, you've got to repent and you got to spend time with God because when you spend time with God, there's no sin there and that means the aging slows. We're still living in an earth surrounded by sin. Lot didn't live that long either, but you know, he was able to live past the destruction of those two cities. In fact, God refused to destroy those two cities until Lot was removed. And read the conversation that God had with Abraham. Abraham's like, "Is it 50 people, 30 people, 20 righteous people living in the city? Would you destroy it?" He said, "No, all the way to 10 people." Meaning, there was less than 10 people in the city that was righteous. And the less than 10, God says, "I'm taking you out." Which was Lot, his wife, and two daughters. And uh the wife didn't make it. So sin is what does this to you? What destroys things? Our government looks like they're trying to destroy the it's sin. They're living in sin. They're accepting sin. Those that approach choice are accepting sin. When living as a homosexual is sin because God calls it, you're not being fruitful and multiply. You cannot be fruitful man on man or woman on woman. So, you're sinning. Lying is sinning. Murder is sinning. You want to sin? Hey, go for it. I'm just telling you, your life will be cut short. That's one of the consequences. And two, not only will you be aging faster, but you're missing out on the blessings that God has for you here and now. And just because we have eternity with him, your eternity can begin now. And no matter what hell is going on out here, you're still at peace and have a joy within you. And you get to look young and free. And people people come up to me all the time and say, "I can't believe you have grandchildren." Yeah, I have grandchildren. Yes, I do. I I I'm grateful that I look as young as I am, but I know that I'm aging. I know I live in sin, but I repented because Jesus came back and did something for us. Look at this. John 3:15 through17. that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that whoever believes in him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send his son into the world to condemn the world but that through the world through him might be saved. He wants to save you on top of it all. He wants to save you. And you know, I I want you guys to realize that we're coming into a very serious time or well, we're in a serious time. Uh Matthew 24, Luke 21, Mark 13 are being fulfilled right in front of us. And it does talk about this generation shall not pass away. So interesting enough how this is fulfilling. Now we are on the tail end of things. So, Genesis is the beginning. It's what started it. And all of this time, we've been living in sin because that's how things change. That's how things were moved. So, now something is getting revealed. And I want you to see what's coming because you've got to be able to repent and know that you're repenting for something that's better. Okay? And we don't have better here on this earth because this earth is sin. Okay? Understand that. Look at what Paul says here in 2 Thessalonians 2:8-12. And then the lawless lawless one will be revealed whom the Lord will consume with the breath of his mouth and destroy with the brightness of his coming. The coming of the lawless one is according to the working of Satan with all power signs and lying wonders and with all unrighteous deception among those who perish because they did not receive the love of the truth that they might be saved. And for this reason God will send them strong delusion that they should believe the lie that they all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but have pleasure in unrighteousness. That's what's happening now. People have this delusion. Talking about women with pro-choice. They have a delusion. Look at this. He says, "With all unrighteous deception among those who perish, you are dying with unrighteousness." And as long as you're doing that, you did not receive the love of the truth that you might be saved. When you reject Jesus, you reject God, you live in unrighteousness, you live in sin, your life is cut short. You do not have the gift of life which is God. God is the gift of life. Very first scripture that I read. Understand what's happening here. And if you take a look at that scripture, go back to the beginning part of it. He says, "Look what the the Lord's going to do to this uh individual here. Look at this. This lawless one. He's going to consume with the breath of his mouth and destroy with the brightness of his coming. This guy's destined for destruction. Don't follow him. You need to repent. You need to repent. Remember what Romans 10:9 says 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. You have to repent. And I'm telling you, if you really want to look younger, so even though we don't live the lifespans of what it was like prior to sin being a a dominant element here in the earth today, we still can look young in our age. Amen. And that means spending time with God. That means repenting. That means giving him the glory, living for him. And I'm going to tell you right now, eternity with God is what you want. You do not want to be left here during this strong after this strong delusion is gone that you know this generation is not going to pass away. God takes people. Look at all my previous messages. He did the rapture. He's he took Enoch. He took Elijah. He's going to take the righteous next. That's what's coming. So all this stuff is being fulfilled and that's what's coming. And then you don't want to be left here. being left here is I'll give you just a sample. The first five months you cannot die and there's going to be these horselike scorpion things coming to sting you and you're thinking God is a loving God. When you reject him, he's he's got feelings. He got rejected. So, he's trying to get your attention to wake you up. You're going to be stuck here going through that pain and suffering and then you're going to have to die for him. That's even worse. go in the rapture. It's just so much easier, better. But you got to be righteous. That means you got to repent and you got to live for God. Romans 10:9, confess. Go to God. And if you're angry with him, you know what? It's okay to be angry with God. You know, he's a big guy. He can't handle it. But go to him and talk to him about it. Tell him you're upset. Tell him you, you know, love should be love. Love is love. God. Let him talk to you back though. You need to open up the Bible and find out what he says and get an understanding of it so that your heart and mind lines up with God and you have the established blessings and promises that are written in the word of God. The rapture being one of them. Amen. All right, let's close in a word of prayer. Father God, we bless this message and we thank you for your blessing on it. We thank you for the revelation Previous Next Related Teachings Heading 6 Teaching Title Heading 6 Button Heading 6 Button Home

CAN YOU LOSE SALVATION The purpose of this message is to provide a biblical understanding of salvation and to address the common question: “Can a believer lose their salvation?” Through Scripture and personal testimony, the teaching emphasizes that salvation is a gift from God, grounded in His love and faithfulness, not in human performance. It seeks to strengthen believers’ trust in Christ, highlight the importance of relationship over fear, and reveal that while believers may drift in their walk, their salvation remains secure in Jesus. CAN YOU LOSE SALVATION Minister Lisa Kane July 23, 2023 Objective: The purpose of this message is to provide a biblical understanding of salvation and to address the common question: “Can a believer lose their salvation?” Through Scripture and personal testimony, the teaching emphasizes that salvation is a gift from God, grounded in His love and faithfulness, not in human performance. It seeks to strengthen believers’ trust in Christ, highlight the importance of relationship over fear, and reveal that while believers may drift in their walk, their salvation remains secure in Jesus. Synopsis: In this teaching, Lisa Kane explores the assurance of salvation through the lens of God’s Word and relational intimacy with Him. Beginning with 2 Timothy 1:7, she contrasts the spirit of fear with the spirit of power, love, and a sound mind, urging believers to reject fear-based teachings about losing salvation. Drawing from John 6:37–39, she highlights Jesus’ promise that He will not cast out those given to Him by the Father. Through examples such as Peter’s immaturity, the rich young ruler, and the repentant thief on the cross, Lisa demonstrates how salvation is rooted in confession, belief, and trust in Christ—not in works, goodness, or continuous outward performance. She shares her own testimony of experiencing spiritual ups and downs, showing that God’s patience and mercy remain constant even when believers waver. The message also explains that while salvation is eternal and secure, neglecting one’s walk with God can lead to bondage, hardship, and discipline, as illustrated in the book of Judges. Yet, the call of Christ is always relational: “Come, let us reason together” (Isaiah 1:18). Lisa emphasizes that salvation is both deliverance from eternal separation and daily deliverance from life’s trials through trust in Jesus. The teaching concludes with an invitation to embrace the assurance of God’s saving power, reject fear, and live in joyful partnership with Christ, knowing that salvation cannot be lost but can always be lived out more fully through faith and obedience. Inspired Teaching: Hello and welcome to the House of Faith Ministries. I'm Lisa Kane. I'm recording this on Sunday, July 23rd, 2023. Welcome. This message is called, can you lose salvation? I've been seeing this question a lot on social media and I'd like to address it uh with the word of God as well as an understanding of the relationship value. As you know, I started teaching on relationship. Uh the last message was talking about God the father and now and that relationship with the father. So here we're going to talk about salvation in this. Amen. Let's open up in a word of prayer. Father God, we thank you for your word. We thank you for who you are. We thank you that we can trust in you, that you are reliable, that you are faithful, and that you are true to your word. It gives us such peace and comforting. Father God, thank you for your longsuffering. Thank you for your gentleness. You're full of loving kindness because without it and without your mercy, well, there's nothing here then. But you made it valuable. You made us valuable in you, Father God. Thank you, Lord. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. And we blessed this word and ask for your blessing on it. May it go out. May the ears that hear it hear and understand and receive and believe. May the eyes that see it see and open up and realize they can have faith and trust in you and believe in you in the glorious name of Jesus. Let their hearts and minds be open to receive, believe, and walk in that trust and faith in the name of Jesus. Amen. Amen. Amen. Let's go to our opening scripture here. We are going to start here in 2 Timothy 1:7. For God is not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind. Initially, I was going to call this message spirit of love. But I because I was dealing with the message of salvation within it, I decided to go ahead and call it can you lose salvation. Now, did you see something here in this scripture? Look at this. He said he didn't give us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind. So if you hear a preacher tell you something like, "Well, just in case you should live for God because you just never know." That's called the spirit of fear. And Paul clearly tells us that Jesus did not give us a spirit of fear. And that every preacher and teacher out there should not be teaching in the spirit of fear. I understand you're worried. I understand that you're hoping that this might light a fire under someone, but you have to understand sometimes the power of love breaks through the hardness, especially in today's generation. How many people are desensitized right now with fear? Roller coasters, these video games, they've ra been raised in this. They're not going to respond to well just in case factor. And then you still have a lot of people like in my generation or even my parents' generation if they wanted to party, they were going to party until they finally settled down and then they decided, "Okay, I'll live for Jesus now." They heard about him, but they chose to do it later in their life. So, what I want to do is I want to talk about how salvation works and how we're dealing with um a time value factor in here and how Jesus is, who he is, because I talked about the relationship of the father last week and Jesus. When you know Jesus, you know the father because Jesus follows the will of the father. Let's um summarize and let's look at that here real quickly. John 6:37-39 because I want you to see how he's also saying he's not going to lose anyone. All that the father gives me will come to me and the one who comes to me I will by no means cast out. So the question I have for you, we're going to get to the rest of these scriptures here in just a moment. Is what kind of God do you think God is that you can lose your salvation? You really think that he's cruel enough to let you believe 20 years ago, but now that you've kind of drifted away that he's going to reject you? I want you see if we understand who God is, we can understand the miracle of salvation. This is very, very powerful, very enlightening. I hope you are uh awake to this and receive and believe. And if you're struggling with this, pause the video. Go to the Lord. Start with him. By the way, don't start with any preacher, teacher, or anyone out there, okay? Don't go by man. Go by the scripture and get into the relationship with God. And I promise you, he's going to answer this very question for you. And he's answered it for me. And this is what I'm teaching here right now. Let's continue on with the scripture. He's not going to cast out by no means uh cast out for and now verse 38. For I have come down from heaven not to do my own will but the will of him who sent me this is the will of the father who sent me that of all he has given me I should lose nothing but should raise it up at the last day. And if you continue to read you will find and he's talking about salvation there. So now you know what I want you to see is I I want you to understand that this is a very intimate thing. Salvation is to the individual and there and you have to understand Jesus clearly says I'm the way, the truth and the life. No man comes to the father except through me. So it has to be done through Jesus. But is there a rule, a guideline that we need to follow in the scriptures that tell us how to get saved? Because and and I'm going to make a very powerful statement here. I hope I can say it right. You see, you need salvation to get into heaven. You need salvation to live for Christ. But you do not need to live for Christ to get into heaven. We're going to see that in the scriptures here. And I want you to understand that God is dealing with this on an individual level when it comes to salvation. Look at what there there's a very interesting transaction that Peter mentions. And if you go watch Peter in the scriptures from the gospels all the way to first and second Peter written many many many years later. Look at the growth and the maturity that Peter went through. It's very very powerful. But look at him how immature he is right here. And this by the way takes us to where we all are today. Look at this. John 21:21-22 Peter seeing him said to Jesus but Lord what about this man he's referring to John and verse 22 Jesus said to him if I will that he remain till I come what is that to you you follow me so Jesus clearly had to put Peter back on the right path don't look at him don't so when you we've been given the ability to judge people think about is think about this. You You want to judge people, you better judge on fact, but do you really know what the fact is in their heart or in their mind? With the Lord, you do not know that. You're basing it on what you think you see, and you don't even see the whole picture. You see one action. I promise you, I'm going to use a scenario here that we're going to use throughout the teaching of this message. So, let's say somebody got saved 20 years ago, okay? and they were on fire for God for a few weeks and then they got choked out because they never rooted in. They got choked out by the worldly daily living style. So now you know few months go by and the Lord is patient. You know you hadn't talked to the Lord in a few months. You you were on fire but he's patient. He's waiting for you. But something happens. A tragedy happens, car accident, somebody dies, and you go, "Jesus, why?" And you grieve and you call on Jesus, and you kind of come back and you're you're talking with him. You actually open up the Bible. You go searching preachers and and and you do and then that lasts for a while and then it drifts off again. In my own personal experience, I went through this. I call it the yo-yo effect. I mean really I I remember I would be on fire I I became born again when I was six years old. I grew up in the church and uh as a young married woman 21 years old and my life went up and down with the Lord. We would go to revival meetings and then I mean months would go by wouldn't even think of the Lord wouldn't read the scriptures. Does that mean I lost my salvation in that time frame even though God was the furthest thing from my mind? No. simply was he was patient. He waited for me and things would happen and I would realize in fact it came I finally came to the personal re revelation and the realization that my living for Christ was a yo-yo. It went up and down. And I went to the Lord and I said I one I said I was sorry. I said I don't know why I'm like this. I need your help. Because see, there's two things about the flesh. It's in time. So today, I feel great. Tomorrow, will I feel the same? How many days do we wake up in the week where we feel awesome? And how many days do we wake up in the week when we don't feel awesome? How many times do we pick up the Bible when we're hurting? And how many times do we pick up the Bible when we just want to? You see the difference? We're in the flesh and we're driven by emotions. Today, I feel like reading my Bible. You see, that's what the mentality is of a I'm going to call it an immature Christian. Somebody who doesn't have self-control. So, now you get into the gifts of the Holy Spirit where you need some self-control. And you can go read that in uh Galatians, Ephesians. You self-control is very, very powerful. You need to have that and that means when you don't feel like it is the biggest time you need to pick up your Bible and relate with God. Another thing that we deal with here, not just the time in the flesh, but it's the relationship factor of the value of trust. We don't trust God enough to keep us saved after he saved us. Oh, we're going to show that here very very clearly and I want you to understand. So, we're going to get into the the meat of the scripture here. I'm going to read a lot of scriptures here. We'll probably pause in here. This is Mark 10 and we're going to start with verse 17 and we're we're going to go to verse 30. Now, as he was going out on the road, one came running, knelt before him, and asked him, "Good teacher, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life?" So Jesus said to him, "Why do you call me good? No one is good but one that is God." I'm going to pause here because a lot of people get tripped up on the scripture here. Okay? Jesus said and I taught this in the last and you saw in the uh scriptures I did earlier that Jesus says I'm here to do the will of the father. If you know me, you know the father. So Jesus is setting an example of hey I'm obeying my father. Remember the ten commandments honor thy father and mother. He obeyed his father. His father said you go lay down your life for these people and I will give it to you again. You can pick it up again. And Jesus clearly told us that. I taught it in the last message. So he says, "I'm going to go do the will of the father." So here Jesus is saying, "I'm not the one that's good." Remember, he's in the flesh here, but he's saying, "I'm doing the will of the father." But I'm going to promise you that once he is crucified now, he becomes spirit with God. Even though he is the son of God, he's in the flesh and he's identifying himself as flesh, not good. Good is God. But he's saying, "I'm here to do the will of God." Which by the way, are you good or are you not? Because see, a lot of people also measure salvation in how good you are. So Jesus is clearly saying goodness is not going to get you into heaven. He's telling you obey the father. Doesn't matter if Jesus is saying he's not good. Whatever you're doing that you think you're good, you're not. And that's a humbling experience, believe you me, when you finally come to recognize that you're not good. It will help you on the inside realize how much you need God. So, let's continue on here. And as you can see, these scriptures is dealing with salvation, eternal life. Watch this. Okay, so verse 18. So, Jesus said, oh, excuse me, verse 19, you know the commandments. Do not commit adultery. Do not murder. Do not steal. Do not bear false witness. Do not defraud. Honor your father and your mother. And let's pause there again. The t before Jesus came, you had to follow the ten commandments. That was the law. And the nation of Israel presented the law to the world through God. And so you need to obey the ten commandments. So now Jesus is telling him, okay, you know, I haven't been crucified yet. Uh you don't have the salvation. So he's telling him, so Jesus is identifying this transitional period. Okay? He's alive. He's still flesh. He's man. He hasn't been crucified yet. But he's telling this man, you need to follow the Ten Commandments. This is how it was prior to Jesus being crucified. Now, let's continue. And he answered and said to him, "Teacher, all these things I have kept from my youth." Okay. Now, this guy's like, "I've done it. I'm good. Woohoo. I'm ready." Jesus says something that's very powerful. Watch this. Then Jesus looking at him loved him. Pause. I'm going to show you a mystery here. See, I was going to call this message spirit of love. Do you see that Jesus loved him? Hey, LGBTQ, whatever community you are now, Jesus loves you. Now, look what Jesus tells you. and said to him, "One thing you lack." Good isn't going to get you into heaven. Following the Ten Commandments anymore isn't going to get you into heaven because that's not salvation. Look at here. Go your way, sell whatever you have, and give to the poor and you will have treasure in heaven. and come take up the cross and follow me." Look what his response was. But he was sad at this word and went away sorrowful for he had great possessions. Pause. What's more valuable to you? Eternal life or your possessions? I promise you, your possessions are going to die. They're going to go away. The moment you die, somebody else is going to take your possessions. It doesn't matter. This earth is dying. Take a look. Go out there. Go see the world. See the destruction in the world. See it dying every day. Change your value to eternity. It's very very important that you do that because you want to live. Eternal life is a long time compared to the life we live here. You give up this life, you will pick it up again because that's what Jesus says. Look at this verse 23. Then Jesus looked around and said to his disciples, "How hard it is for those who have riches to enter the kingdom of God." And look at what the dis look at verse 24 here. And the disciples were astonished at his words. You and I should be shocked. If God is so merciful, if he is so merciful, then how come it's so hard? Because this man chooses his possessions. It's based on that man, not Jesus. And Jesus is saying it's very hard for him. And even his disciples are astonished. Continue on. But Jesus answered again and said to them, "Children, how hard it is is for those who trust in riches to enter the kingdom of God." Key word there is trust. Now Jesus is getting to the root of the matter here. He's telling you by this man's actions, this rich man who went away sorrowful, this rich man could not trust Jesus with his possessions. He could not take them off, give them up to trust that Jesus would give him eternal life. Now look what Jesus says because now we're dealing with the relationship factor. We're dealing with trust. Watch this. It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God. Now there's a mystery behind this. I had heard this and the first time I heard this I think I was astonished as the disciples. Listen to this. So in a city wall there are different gates. You've got the main gate that is wide. A lot of people can enter the but there are smaller gates where you don't have to walk around the entire city to enter. These small gates are very small. the only way you can enter them. And and if you traveled in your camel, you had to take everything off your camel. You had to take everything off your person. You had to put it down on the ground, push the camel through, get the camel to go through, push your possessions through the gate on the floor. You had to leave them down, get yourself through the gate, pick it all up, and load your camel back up. Isn't that revelation? It's awesome. Jesus is saying in the same manner, if you want to get saved, you got to take off everything that you because what do we put on our shoulders? What we consider valuable? If you put stress on yourself from your job, stress on your children, how they're living, stress or finances, where you put it all on your shoulders and you carry that. And when you carry that, you're saying I am handling it, not God. And Jesus is saying, if you want to get saved, and now we're talking about salvation, trust, this is eternal life, you have to take the world off. Put it down at your feet. Say, "Jesus, I'm sorry. I'm the one who's guilty, and I'm laying all this at your feet." And Jesus says, "Come with me." And then he says, "Pick it up." And he's going to give you that life again. That's what salvation is. Let's continue on now because this gets very interesting at this point. So now here the the the uh disciples are just and they were greatly astonished saying among themselves, "Who then can be saved?" because now they're realizing for the first time I I don't even know if I'm saved because and yeah, did did you go to Jesus? Did you ask him to forgive you? And remember that we're going to have scriptures that's going to show us that we need to do that. But here Jesus hasn't been crucified. He's revealing it to his disciples. Look at the transaction here. Who then can be saved? Verse 27. But Jesus looked at them and said, "With men it is impossible, but not with God, for with God all things are possible." What God is saying here, what Jesus is saying here is that I'm your salvation. I will take care of your salvation. I will save you. And it has nothing to do with what you do other than you come to me and humble yourself and say I'm guilty because you are. And he goes I will have you pick up your life again. I will save you and I will bring you into the eternal kingdom. This is very very powerful. You have to understand that this was a whole new concept to the disciples. a whole new concept because now they're realizing, well, wait a minute. We're here with you, Jesus. But see, they're not in the spirit yet. Let's continue on. Let's continue. It's very powerful. Then Peter began to say to him, see, we have left all and followed you. So now Jesus or Peter is saying, okay, I am taking my example of what we just did. We're following you. We gave it up. He gave up his fishing uh career to follow Jesus. So look at what Jesus says here. This is very, very powerful because now we're also talking about living for Christ here. Salvation is when you acknowledge you're guilty, but now he's saying, "Come walk with me because I'm going to have you pick up your life again, but you're going to do it with me." We're going to do this hand in hand together. Look at what Jesus says. So Jesus answered and says, "Surely I say to you, there is no one who has left house or brothers or sisters or father or mother or wife or children or lands for my sake and the gospels who shall not receive a hundfold now in this time houses and brothers and sisters and mothers and children and lands with persecutions and in this age to come eternal life." Now he's identifying something here. Notice the double negative. Let's let's check that so we can clarify. No one who has left. And then he says who shall not receive. So anyone who has left shall receive. What are they going to receive who choose to walk with Christ? Hundfold now in this time. He's not talking eternal life. Now because see he's having to address the factor of time. You and I are walking on this earth in time. These are the years we're in. We live in this time frame. Jesus is saying in this time, I'm going to give you a hundfold. If you choose to live for me, you leave your father, you leave your mother, you come follow me. But he says, I will give you everything. You know, in my personal testimony, I remember uh being in one of those moments. I was far far away from the Lord and I went to the Lord and actually I was on the stairs and he came to me. Uh I could hear his voice as clear as can be rushing waters. Um and he told me to go to church and I by the way I'll tell you how far my attitude was and and keep in mind I didn't lose my salvation. See everybody has a personal experience with God at some point or another and something triggers you something works in you. This is why it's so intimate and it's with you in my intimate moment with the Lord. There I am walking up or down the stairs. I don't remember. This is a long time ago, but I hear this voice telling me in the back of my head, "Go to church. Go to church." It was a litany. It was building up. It was a c. I mean, we're talking. It was getting louder and louder. I finally turned around. I was mad. I and I I actually stomped my foot on the stairs and I said, "Oh, I do not need to and I stopped. I just realized what I was saying to God. I had a an epiphany, a realization. I had this moment where I just realized who I was talking to and I said, "Yes, Lord, we'll be at church on Sunday." And that particular Sunday, you want to talk about a spiritual warfare battle. My husband and I walked out on that parking lot. We were I thought we were five minutes late. We were 35 minutes late. We were going to a little church in a school and nobody was around and I didn't know what door to go in. I picked a door to go in. My husband and I have been fighting, arguing that whole time. Open the door. And of course, we open the door right on the stage with the pastor preaching. Pastor stops and looks behind him, looks at us. I you you want to see an astonished look if they had that on video. I grabbed my husband's hand. I grabbed my daughter's hand. And I smiled at him, nodded my head, walked past him, walked all the way to the back seat, uh, the back row. It was like only 10 rows, maybe 15 rows, sat down, and of course, after the church service, everybody came up to us, and I thought for sure we were done, my husband and I. And in that parking lot, walking up there, my husband was arguing, we were arguing, and I had looked up to the Lord, and I said, "You know what, Lord? I'm giving him to you because I I don't know what to do with him, and I'm not going to even try." So, as we were coming out of the church service, walking back to the car, I said to my husband, "When are we getting a divorce?" He gave me this weird look like, "What are you talking about?" He goes, "That was great. Did you hear him preach about Peter and this and that?" I mean, and my husband is and you ought to talk about a reality. His spirit was changed. His spirit was changed. All because I said to the Lord after I obeyed him, I give him to you. I promise you guys, you will have that intimate moment of that salvation with the Lord. You just have to go and pause. And if you're watching this video, you probably already had that. But and did you see the other part of that? You know, you're going to have this in this time, but you're also going to have uh with persecution. You're going to have your households, your brothers, and your sisters, and your mothers, and children, and lands with persecutions in the age to come. And in the age to come, eternal life. So, you're going to have your possessions here, but you're going to have them with persecutions. And then in the age to come. So, he's talking about you're living your life here now for, and then you're going to have eternal life here. You're going to be dealing with persecutions. Believe you and me, as much peace and joy as I have, I still deal with those persecutions. But my eternity is set. My eternity is set. Now, let's talk about the basic function of salvation. Remember, I made a powerful statement earlier. And you need salvation to enter heaven. You need salvation to live for Christ. You don't need to live for Christ to get to heaven. You see the difference here? So, let's look at um how salvation works. And I taught on this already. It's very basic, very simple. Luke 23:39-43. Then one of the criminals who were hanged blasphemed him, saying, "If you are the Christ, save yourself and us." But the other answer and rebuked him, saying, "Do you not even fear God, seeing you are under the same condemnation?" So, we're looking at two thieves on each side of Jesus. They're having a conversation. The one thief is telling Jesus, "Get up. Save yourself and save us." The other thief says, "Hey, why are you kicking the man that's already down? Hey, you're down, too." Talk about a spirit of evil. You ever If you're wondering why some people don't get saved, look at that thief. You know what? Do you really want that kind of an attitude coming into heaven, into your home? Really? No. And this thief, he told him, "Hey, you need to stop. Let's continue on that conversation. Look, he told him, look at what he says. And we indeed justly for we receive the rewards of our reward of our deeds, but this man has done nothing wrong. In other words, he just simply said, I'm guilty. You're guilty because that we're here because we got caught. But Jesus is innocent. And then look what he says to Jesus. They said to Jesus, "Lord, remember me when you come into your kingdom." And Jesus said to him, "Assuredly I say to you today you will be with me in paradise." That's all it takes. Did that man Did that thief get off the cross and go get water baptized? No, you do not need to be water baptized to be saved. Did that thief get off the cross and go start speaking in tongues? No, you do not have to speak in tongues. You do not be you do not have to be filled with the Holy Spirit to go to heaven. Did that thief get off the cross and go door to door and save souls? No, you don't have to go save souls to get into heaven. All he said was, "We're guilty." And Jesus remembered me. And that's all it takes to get saved. And he went to heaven. This is why I make the bold statement. Living for Christ isn't going to get you to heaven. Going to church isn't going to get you to heaven. And anyone who teaches that is a false teaching. You need to pray for them. Walk away from them. Give them to the Lord. In fact, you might be there to pray for them. You might even have an opportunity to show them the scripture. Ask this question. What? Why is the thief saved? But your your doctrine is telling me I have to do this. If the thief can save, can't I be saved? You need to put that to them in hopes that they finally realize I've been teaching wrong. And it's okay. You know what? Anyone who we're living in time one day, this is what you believe today. what you believe tomorrow. You finally mature. You get more scriptures and you realize and you correct yourself. It's a growth. I'm going to tell you right now, pastors, preachers, teachers, we're human beings. We're going to make mistakes. This is why. Don't listen to us, but go to the scriptures and find out for yourself. Most importantly, humble yourself before the Lord. Acknowledge your guilt. I'm guilty. This is why I'm going to you, Jesus. Look at uh what Paul said in Romans, Romans 10:9, that if you confess with your mouth, did that thief confess with his mouth? You betcha. He told that other thief in the presence of Jesus, "We're innocent." Or, "He's innocent. We're guilty." He confessed with his mouth. And look at this. He said, "And believe in your heart that God has raised him from the dead." He looked at Jesus. He knows Jesus is going to die. He knows Jesus is going to die. And he says, "Remember me when you enter your kingdom." And Jesus said, "I promise you, you will be with me in paradise today." Paul nailed it when he said, "And believe in your heart that God has raised from that, you will be saved." Jesus told that thief, "You will be saved." Oh, my friend, if you could just grab this and then for those that really truly believe that one can lose their salvation, you would make the Bible a lie with these scriptures. Romans 10:13, for whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved. um if I called on him when I was 10 but hadn't called on him till I was 30 and I let's say I didn't make it to 30 and I died in that time frame. Does the Bible tell you that? No. The Bible does not tell you that. Anyone who calls upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. Jesus, you're if you're in a plane, you're coming down. Jesus. He knows your situation. You will be saved. And you didn't have to live for Christ to get saved. Look what else. And by this, by this, it's also reiterated in the Old Testament, too. Look at this. Joel 2:32. And it shall come to pass that whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved. That's exactly what Paul just said. Look at what else he says here, because this is so powerful. For in Mount Zion and in Jerusalem there shall be deliverance as the Lord has said among the remnant who whom the Lord calls. Look at that. Whom the Lord calls. Remember salvation is from the Lord and he is going to do the saving. Not you and not any action you take. And when he calls you and you confess him and believe, you're delivered. Guess what? You're delivered off the cross. That thief came off the cross alive in paradise. that people you don't realize but salvation is getting into heaven but it also saves you from the circumstances you live in here if you are dealing with cancer you can say Jesus you are Lord over cancer and that will save you deliver you from cancer by this is so powerful this has been preached and taught in the Old Testament and in the New Testament Jesus just he fulfilled it with his blood, his perfect blood, and he he washed away the sins. We're still in the flesh. We're still in time. So, we still deal with the persecutions. We still deal with sin. But you will obey his commandments once you call on him. And I think part of reason why people don't get saved and don't call on God so much. They're afraid of that. They're afraid of a transformation. Look at me. I'm not out there in the world partying. I I don't want anything to do with it. They look at that and they think, "Well, I like the world." And remember, eye of the needle, the camel in the eye of the needle. Take it off and God will give it back to you. It's not to say that I don't enjoy my life. It doesn't rule me, but believe you me, I get to go and enjoy. I'm in the process of watching my brand new home be built. We went there yesterday evening in the dusk just to look at the area, listen to the cicas, and and they were loud. It's like an electrical box going off. But it was it was so nice. I will tell you right now, I enjoy my life. I I laid it down. And I gave it to the Lord and he said, "Okay, pick it back up and now we're going to do this together." And I trusted him. I I I spent my time with him. I give him the glory. I pray. Yes. I put him first because everything else balances itself out. I feel better when I put him first. That is my Lord and Savior. And I'm telling you right here, right now in this teaching, you can't lose your salvation. If you call on the Lord 20 years ago, you can call on him again and you can start to live for him. Now, I will tell you this much. Scripture does teach us, and I'm not putting it in here because the message already long in and of itself. Uh if you're not living for Christ and you do wander and you disobey something out of the Bible, even out of ignorance, hear that. Even out of ignorance, he's making you responsible for this. You will have to suffer from his curses. Go read the book of Judges. How he deals with the nation of Israel is amazing. I'm I'm studying the book of Judges right now and it's just incredible. So Joshua dies, the spirit of the Lord comes on one guy, comes on another, comes on Deborah, comes on Gideon, comes on Samson. So you see all the judges throughout the time. And uh uh but the what happened is they would get into bondage every time they did evil before the Lord. So instead of serving God himself, they would go to the balls and the aster. And when they did that, they would have 20 years. They would go into bondage. They would be bond to the Medidianites. They were bond to the Philistines. They they were enslaved to them. And they called on the Lord because now they're suffering. So, you know, when you call on Christ, you get saved. If you drift away, you get into you're not rooted into the word of God and you drift um and and you're not thinking about him. Like I said, you you can't lose your salvation, but you will go into bondage and you will suffer. An Previous Next Related Teachings Heading 6 Teaching Title Heading 6 Button Heading 6 Button Home

MANIFESTING THE GREAT AND PRECIOUS PROMISES To teach believers how to manifest the great and precious promises of God by gaining true knowledge of His Word, living a life of godliness, and walking in the authority and power of the Holy Spirit through repentance, renouncement, and active faith. MANIFESTING THE GREAT AND PRECIOUS PROMISES Minister Lisa Kane September 28, 2023 Objective: To teach believers how to manifest the great and precious promises of God by gaining true knowledge of His Word, living a life of godliness, and walking in the authority and power of the Holy Spirit through repentance, renouncement, and active faith. Synopsis: In this message, Lisa Kane emphasizes the importance of building faith upon the Word of God as revealed in 2 Peter 1. She begins by committing to teach using the King James Version along with Hebrew and Greek root word studies from Strong’s Concordance, to ensure accuracy and deeper understanding of scripture. The teaching underscores that no prophecy is of private interpretation but is inspired by the Holy Spirit, making God’s Word self-validating across the writings of the prophets and apostles. Knowledge of the Word is revealed as one of the key promises believers must manifest—without it, as Hosea 4:6 warns, God’s people are destroyed. This knowledge leads to life and godliness, producing a chain of growth: diligence → faith → virtue → knowledge → self-control → patience → godliness → kindness → love. Lisa explains that manifesting God’s promises means living actively and fruitfully, not passively or barren. Believers are called to walk in excellence, discernment, and holiness, avoiding corruption and longing for worldly things. By living in this way, Christians can walk without error or stumbling, contrary to the common belief that falling into sin is inevitable. The message also highlights the practical steps of repentance and renouncement. Repentance restores safety, deliverance, and cleansing, while renouncement disowns sinful patterns, declaring to heaven and earth a decisive break from dishonesty and craftiness. Manifesting God’s truth allows believers to live as walking testimonies, visibly transformed and empowered by the Holy Spirit. Finally, Lisa assures that when believers walk in God’s promises, they enter into His everlasting kingdom, partaking in the divine nature and reflecting His glory. This life of godliness is both a present testimony and an eternal inheritance, rooted in Christ’s grace, truth, and authority. Inspired Teaching: Hello and welcome to the House of Faith Ministries. I'm Lisa Kaine and I'm recording this on Thursday, September 28th, 2023. Welcome. This message is called Manifesting the Great and Precious Promises. Let's open up in a word of prayer. Father God, we thank you for your word. We thank you for your anointing. We thank you for your knowledge. And we thank you that we have an understanding of your scriptures that we can manifest those promises that you've given us and live by those promises. Father God, thank you in the glorious name of Jesus. Amen. Amen. So before I delve into here, I want to explain a change I'm going to start doing going forward from this day on in this teaching. I am going to start using the King James version of the Bible versus the New King James Version, which is what I've been using simply because I want to get the scripture in its original text. The original interpretation of the Hebrew and the Greek was the King James version into English and it is the closest meaning. On top of that, I'm also going to take key words in every scripture and I'm going to show you the root word in the Hebrew, what it also could mean. Meaning, if there's a word that says power, I'm going to give you some other uh words in the Hebrew or the Greek of what that word means. All of that is going to come from the Strong's dictionary. Okay? Hebrew and Greek. Now also the way I'm going to do it on my slides when I present scripture parentheses and the words italicized within those parentheses will be those extra words. The bold word will be the original word that was used in the King James version. Okay? And I'm going to try to read the scripture as without it with without those extra words and then with those extra words so that you can get the full complete message out of this. Amen. And reminder, judge me. Judge my teachings. Am I teaching from the scripture? Am I taking it out of context? Am I manipulating it? Am I biased? You judge. You look at it. And you know what? Whether you accept it or reject it, always go to God and always ask him for his uh for his wisdom and his understanding. He will show you that his knowledge. Amen. And then pray for me, please. I could always use the prayer. Amen. All right, let's go to our opening scripture here. We're going to focus a lot on second Peter 1 today. Um, but let's go to the end of what second Peter said. This is our opening scriptures. Knowing this verse that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man, but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost. What I want you to see here is the word of God and its truth. It is knowledge. And the knowledge is one of the promises that we have to being active and manifesting the Holy Spirit's promises, God's promises to us. So, let's delve a little further into the scripture, the word knowing there. And I just did a teaching on this a handful of weeks ago, a a deep teaching the word k n o w simply to show you that there are many there's like five six different interpretations of the word know in the Greek alom well here this one simply means knowing it's to absolutely know so you will know beyond a shadow of a doubt you know you know you know says here you know that first knowing this first that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private it. Look at that. Pertaining to self interpretation or an interpretation just simply means explanation. Self-interpretation. That's not what the Bible is about. It Peter is clearly telling us this because see, we're going to be dealing with knowledge. So, he's telling us straight up, no prophecy of the scripture is of any self-interpretation. meaning that everything that you read in the Bible will interpret itself in one place or another between the different authors that wrote. And these different authors were men. Look at this. For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man, but holy men of God spake as they were moved. That word moved is they they they bared the word that was given to them. They could feel it and they carried it and they carried it to paper to the papyrus to really write it down and it was filled with the anointing of the Holy Ghost or holy means sacred and ghost means air or spirit. So the sacred spirit, sacred air, I would go with Holy Ghost because that is Christianity. If you if you get into more of the air, the the sacred air, the sacred spirit, it can be interpreted into many different other ways and you got to be very very careful and cautious with that. But the reason I wanted to show you the scripture is because we're going to be talking about knowledge. It's one of the promises and it's through that knowledge that we will be manifesting these promises that God has given us. Amen. So, let's go to second Peter. Uh we're going to start here in verse three in chapter one. according to his as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain pertain unto life and godliness through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue. Okay, let's pause here in verse three. I want you to see something here is very very neat and very powerful. This is why I wanted to change my teaching technique to this this methodology says according as his divine power. Look at that word power means force and another word is miracles. God performs miracles, right? So according as his divine miracles, see how you can bring this in in that way. Hath given uh unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness. His power, the force of God, his miracles is what gives us life and godliness. question is whether you believe those miracles, whether you believe that force that that power. That's what it is. And and you know, and don't fall for the force is with you kind of starter wars kind of thing here, but simply to put that there is the Holy Ghost who is moving and he he manifest in us his anointing and we will under we will recognize it and know it as a believer in Christ. When Jesus was baptized and he came up and the dove landed on him, the anointing landed on him. That dove manifested, it it showed everyone around John specifically the one writing that in the Bible showed that this is what I was supposed to see. I see it. I saw he is an eyewitness to it. And that goes to show that the Holy Ghost came Jesus at this time. And the two of them work together. So, and notice this is until life in godliness. How should you live your life? Life, it should be a long life of blessings and godliness. You should be living a godly life. And I know what a lot of churches would teach you is that we're still human. So, we're going to still air. We're still going to fall. We're going to still um mess up because we're in the flesh. Well, I'm going to show you here that we can manifest this godliness and not air or fall. That's what's so powerful about this. But notice it says through the knowledge of him. We got to go look at Hosea real quick because I want you to see something here. Hosea's 4 and6. My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge because thou hast rejected knowledge. I will also reject thee that thou shalt be no priest to me. seen. Thou hast forgotten the law of thy God. I will also forget thy children. This is how important this is. Knowledge. Now, let's let's break it down. Says, "My people are destroyed." Look at that. To be dumb or silent. If you're not manifesting godliness in your life, you are silent or dumb because you're not in knowledge of the word of God in which you should be walking in life and godliness. You catching this? This is very very powerful. For lack of knowledge, look at what this word knowledge. This is Old Testament. It's Hebrew. Cunning aware. Every Christian believer out there should be very cunning. You should know exactly what to pray for. You should be aware of your surroundings and you should know what word of God you should be applying to that situation. What scripture this is something you should know. This is your knowledge that you have. This is what gives you life and life abundantly is the knowledge of the Holy Spirit because thou hast rejected knowledge. Spurn. Did you say spurn or refuse? You're refusing the knowledge. you're refusing to go read the Bible or here's another way to look at this. I and I'm not trying to bring in a self-interpretation. This is an actual fact. People go to church to the pastor or they call up a renowned pastor and they rather hear his interpretation instead of opening the Bible and reading the scriptures for themselves. And what's happening a lot in in the churches right now is you can have your Bible on your phone device or device, whatever device you have and they will put the scriptures up there on the screen for you and it is so lovely. However, is that the scripture? Is it appropriate? You need to be the judge and you need to be learning and thinking am I learning correctly what is being interpret interpretated here or am I being misled. You see that is your responsibility as a recipient of listening to the word of God being taught. The same here this is why I told you to judge me. you know, are you getting the scripture presented to you properly or has it been, how should I say, uh, more like a a rundown version of it. We do need to watch out for Bible versions. NIV is a great example. How many scriptures are missing in that version? And people are missing out on that. So, we have to be aware of this. We have to be knowledgeable because that's what we need to manifest. And as a teacher of the word of God, I need to be manifesting this. This is one of the reasons why I'm choosing to change my format here. But it's just so interesting that you would be dumb or silent because you don't have your canning awareness because you're refusing the knowledge because you're you and then oh and the consequences of that is you won't be a priest. So I've taught that we are priests over over our households, over our children, over our workplace and everything. And to be that priest, you have to have knowledge of the word of God. But look, he says, I will reject ye thee that thou shalt be no priest to me. You know what is a priest? It says here it's from or out of meaning you're you're separated from the world and you mediate in religious services. So you cannot manifest that godliness life and godliness that second Peter talked about if you're rejecting the word of God or you're interpreting it your own way and not having validation within scripture. And then there's even further consequence since you're now because you're being oblivious to this, oblivious to the law of God, to his word, you he says, "I will forget thy children." There's a consequence to your children for you not having this knowledge and not living this godliness because they're going to see you in who you truly are of the world. You see, you can put on your face when you get to church and be, "Oh, I am being godly." But when you get home, your children see the truth and there's a consequence to that. So going back to um second Peter, let's go on to verse four. So knowledge, life and godliness through knowledge, which is the knowing of him that hath called us to glory and virtue. Excellence. We should be excellent in what we stand for with life and godliness. It's a manifestation of his promise, virtue. This is what we should be living as. Go to verse four. Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises. I don't need to interpret that and I didn't put any extra words, but great and precious promises, which is what this message is about. That by these by these great and precious promises, ye might be partakers of the divine. Guess what that word divine translates to? Godhead, the divine nature having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust. You got to see this. Watch the explanation of this. This is awesome. Partakers of the godhead growing, having escaped the corruption that is in this world or the orderly arrangement of things. You see, things are corrupt. Now, this world belongs to the devil. We know that and we live separate from the world. They need to be separate from the world. The world is longing. Look at this. They're through lust. They're longing. Remember Lot's wife coming out of Sodom and Gomorrah. She longed and looked back and she was turned into a pillar of salt. The world is in that corruption. And we should not be in that lust or that longful, that longing for that stuff. We should be separate. Meaning, it shouldn't be impacting you at all. You should be manifesting life and godliness, not longing. Big difference. And this is going to also show you how to this is going to talk to the conscience of the minds of men. We're going to see that in scripture here. Let's continue on in second Peter in chapter 1. We're in verse 5 now. And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith, reliance upon Christ for salvation, virtue, excellence, and to virtue knowledge. Okay, there's like a chain reaction of life and godliness of these great and precious promises that we have. So one, giving all diligence. This is something we need to do. We need to be eager. Eager is another word for giving of all diligence. Giving of all eagerness. Add to your faith. What's faith? Relying upon Christ for salvation. Jesus is the son of God. So I should be eager to rely with to add it to my faith. my eagerness should be adding to my faith, giving me that excellent uh understanding of the word and to knowledge. So the excellence should lead to knowledge. So there's this there's like a map that takes us right to it. Says diligence to faith to virtue to knowledge. Then it goes further. says, "Now, and to knowledge, temperance, which is self-control, and to temperance, patience, which is hopeful endurance, and to patience." There's your godliness. Do you see the path to get to godliness starts with you being eager? It starts with you having faith. It starts with you having the excellence of the knowledge. And it starts and then it goes with self-control. And it looks like you got patience. You're hoping. You can't see it, but you got patience. You're hoping. And then you have that godliness, that pause. All hell's breaking loose, but you can just say, "Peace." And and that's the authority and the power you have. And you get to manifest that through his great promises that are given to us. Then it goes even further because when you start walking in your godliness, this is verse seven. You have kindness. You love the people around you. Now you want to save them. You have a heart for them. And you want them to see God the same way you do. Oh my goodness, this is awesome. And to brotherly kindness. Look at this. Charity, affection, or benevolence, desire to do good. In other words, uh you see somebody like a widow who's in a situation and you realize they need groceries or they need their lawn mowed or their house painted or some things worked on. You desire to do good. It transforms you when you walk in the promises that are given here, these great and precious promises, because now you're walking in godliness and it is manifesting itself around you in all the acts that you do. Look at what else uh Peter says. This is uh second Peter 1:8. For if these things be in you, so that was that whole list we just talked about, and abound, meaning they're manifesting. They're coming out more now. They make you that ye shall neither be what? Barren. Look at that word barren means inactive. Meaning, so now you are actively involved in ministry as you're pouring out the godliness from within. You're not even, look at this, nor unfruitful in the knowledge. Look at what the word, this word knowledge means, recognition, full discernment of our Lord Jesus Christ. So now in this godliness, let's read that again because I think it's powerful. You're abounding more. You are not inactive. You are active. You have more of this manifestation coming out of the knowledge. You're recognizing Jesus Christ. You're discerning Jesus Christ, the son of God, in your life, and he's coming out and he's leading you, and you are walking in his steps. In case you're wondering, I knocked over my box of tissues. But continuing on, look at verse nine. But he that lackth these things is blind. What's that word mean? Opaque, as if smoke, and cannot see a far off. and hath forgotten to take. That's what that word forgotten means. That he was purged, washed off, cleansed from his old sins. That he forgot that he was saved. He was cleansed from his old sins. You see, when you are not entering to finding the secret place with the Lord, the entrance of that, to find the knowledge, guess what? You're forgetting. What is the word forgotten? To take. You're not taking your part in living life and godliness, the manifestation of that to those around you. This is why it's so important that you go learn about God, the secret place. You need to be opening up the Bible. You need to be re uh reading it, interpreting it with the Holy Spirit so that and interpreting it against scripture against scripture so that you can manifest this godliness so people can see what desire of good you have and that you're living it. It's a walking testimony is what it is. And it and then you're not blind. You're seeing you see you're being cunning. You're being aware of everything around you. That's very, very powerful. Look at verse 10. Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence, speed, effort. Now, that's a different diligence than the one before. If we want, we can go back. Let's go. Let let me take the scriptures back with you. Let's go look at the diligence from the beginning. Speed and eagerness. You see that? And then diligence, speed, and effort. This is why we want to look at the word speed and eagerness. We were eager earlier. Now look, he says effort. Our effort in the word of God. Our effort. You see this? Are you getting that? Give effort to make your calling. You are giving the effort. You're opening the Bible. You're taking action. You're not inactive. You are going to in you're going into the knowledge of the word of God to make your calling and I love the word calling. The other word is invitation. You are invited to teach the word of God. You are invited to share your testimony with everyone. You are invited. This is your calling. You are invited. and election. Divine selection chosen. That's what this election. We're selected. We are elected. Chosen. Sure. For if you do these things, ye shall never fall, trip, or error. There's the scripture that tells us we can't mess up when we're walking godliness. Yet, you've got preachers teaching you we're flesh. We're going to mess up. Now, we if you're going to mess up, of course, you just start again. You're going to repent. I'm going to show you how to fix all this and how to make sure this manifests. But if it is manifesting within you and you're living this life, you should not be erring and you should not be tripping because you should be giving it to the Lord. Now, let's read the scripture without the extra words in there because I really want to make sure it's clear for you. Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure. For if you do these things, you ye shall never fall. So now let's read it with the extra words. Wherefore the rather brethren give speed and effort to make your invitation and divine selection your choseness sure for if you do these things you shall never trip or air. So do you see how you should never Peter says the Bible says you should never trip or air. You should never fall. Hallelujah. Because the manifestation of the knowledge of the word of God is coming out of you in all that you do. And it is witnessing to everyone because they're seeing you not fail. They're seeing the genu. That's another thing. They see you genuine. They trust now what you are, who you are because your actions are going to be proving factual and worthy. They're going to see, hey, you went and helped that lady. I need your help. And they will be there. What can I do for you? I want to make things easier for you. I have a desire to do good for you, to do good for God, but I'm going to do it manifested in your life. You see how that works? This is how that works. Look at verse 11. For so an entrance shall be ministered unto you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Now, I know Paul talks about rewards and a lot of the scriptures talk about reward. This is alluding to that. I'm not and I'm not going to go into all of that because that's another teaching very long term. But look at how be minister unto you copiously, richly into perpetual kingdom, your royalty of our Lord Savior Jesus Christ. Let's read that right now. I'm going to read it with the extra words right now. For so an entrance shall be ministered unto you copiously, richly into the perpetual royalty of our Lord Savior Jesus Christ. Now let's read without the extra words. For so an entrance shall be ministered unto you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord Savior Jesus Christ. It takes you all the way into the heavenly realm, your royalty because you are part of the royalty line now. You are adopted into grafted into the holy line, the holy lineage of Israel from David on down. You are through Christ a brother and a sister in the Lord. And now you have, look, it for so an entrance shall be ministered unto you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord Savior. It it goes on for When you live in your life in godliness like this, it pays off for eternity is one way of looking at that. Verse 12, wherefore I will not be negligent to put you always in remembrance. So Peter, I want to get the scripture. Peter is reminding us of this. This is something that we should already be doing and living. Obviously, I'm teaching this. We're not. So this is why he's saying I wherefore I will not be negligent to put you always in remembrance of these things. In other words, he's saying you need to be reminded of these things though you know though ye know them and be established in the present truth. See he knows you already know them. You've already was when you it's like remembering your first love when you first got saved. The manifestation of his holiness was powerful and awesome and your life changed and then it got rooted. Then all hell breaks loose. And you know, we go through that as a Christian in Christ because we have an enemy prowling like a a de lion trying to devour devour us and to destroy us. But because we know this now because we're sure we're firm in his foundation of his word, in his knowledge that look at it this way. Wherefore I will not be negligent to put you always in remembrance of these things, though ye to see them and be confirmed in the at hand or to be near truth. The at hand truth. Ain't that awesome? God God is word. The word of God is absolutely amazing. You should thirst and hunger for it. And I promise you, delving into the word description and definition of each of these words makes it that much more better. Amen. Look at verse 16 and we're still in second Peter chapter 1. For we have not followed cunningly devised fables. Now, the reason I'm bringing these three scriptures in, I want you to see something here. Peter is sharing his witness testimony. Because he's a witness, we can believe his word. And that's what he's saying here. For we have not followed cunningly devised fables when we made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of his majesty. For he received from God the Father honor and glory. When there came such a voice to him from the excellent glory, this is my beloved son. whom I am well pleased and this voice which came from heaven we heard when we were with him in the holy mount. He is testifying to this event. So in essence the scripture is asking you do you believe or not? Do you reject this message or do you accept it? Can you live a life in godliness? Absolutely. Now how because let's go to the how and see the manifestation of godliness in your life where you will not trip and fall. You will not error. You will not fall because the Holy Spirit is what's going to be leading you and guiding you and directing you in this. Amen. Starting with Romans 11:6. And if by grace then it is no more of works. Otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it be of works, then it is no more grace. Otherwise, work is no more work. Now, let's read it with the extra words. And if by grace or gratitude, divine influence upon the heart, we know the word divine means the Godhead. So, this is God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Spirit influencing our heart. This is grace. Because see, grace comes from God. Understand salvation is from the Lord. It's not us. We can't work for it. So he says it comes from God. It's coming from the divine, the Godhead influence on our heart. It's not of works. What does that word works mean? Toil. You do not have to toil. You do not have to work for your grace. God gave it to you already. It is given. Otherwise, grace is no more grace. But if it be were of works, then it is no more grace. Otherwise, work is no more work. You see, we don't have to work for it. And we don't boast for our working. to see if it was work, then some of us can be better at it than others. But it is all equal and fair as grace for everyone. Look at what it says here now in Romans 10. We're going to read verses 12 and 13. For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek. For the same Lord overall is rich unto all that call upon him. Verse 13, for whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. Now, what I want you to see here is very, very powerful. Call upon. You need to call upon. You You're the one that's opening the Bible. You're the one who needs to call upon Jesus Christ, the son of God. You speak it. This is reaffirming it. Says, let's read it with the extra words now. For the same Lord over all is become wealthy. God becomes wealthy. Did you know that if you go to Malachi and I'll let you do some homework as I like to teach you, we are a jewelry that he's forming us into a piece of jewel that he wants to wear us. We're precious. When you look at a diamond and you want to wear your rings, your necklaces is precious. It is refined. It is beautiful. Well, that is what God is doing to us and preparing us for that. And that is what life and godliness is all about. So take a look at this. Uh he becomes wealthy. God becomes wealthy unto all that call upon him. Look what that call upon to entitle to invoke him. You invoke the name of Jesus. You call on the name of Jesus. Look at what it says. Now let's look at the extras. For whosoever invokes the name of the Lord shall be remember that word saved means safe delivered. I have a lot of people who email me on a almost daily basis now in where they're saying they're not safe. They've got things being thrown at them. Their mind is under torment. They can't sleep. They're being tortured. Well, guess what? This message is for you because look at what it says. When you invoke the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, the son of God, you shall be safe, delivered. You see, saved also implies eternity. Wonderful. But safe implies the here and now in whatever situation you're feeling or being tormented about. And delivered means from the inside out. Now the manifestation of his godliness that he places in you is what comes out. That is amazing. So where am I going with this? Because now I want you to see we are talking about repentance and renouncement. Now I'm going to say something here very boldly. I've noticed this in the people I've been ministering to uh through email with the the House of Faith Ministries. Um I think all of them have always said I've repented already. I want you to understand something about repentance. Yes, repentance is wonderful. That sets your salvation in in motion. But repentance leads to salvation, leads to deliverance, leads to being safe. So when you repent again, it sets everything safe. I want you to see that. I want you to get that. This is why. Go to Job chapter one. Every time, and I I share this usually when I'm talking to someone who says that they've already repented. What Job did is when his kids would have these parties, they would forget or he he was worried. He'd be there the next morning and he'd be um sacrificing the bulls, rams, what have you. And he said, "And just in case they cursed God while they were partying," he would do that because that's how much he loved them. But it was repentance for them over again. Look at repentance. First John 1:9, if we confess, look at covenant. And it's another word. If we co covenant our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sin, lay aside and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness, injustice. If you think you're being treated unjustly or you know, you've you've got something going against you, it's probably because you're walking in unrighteousness, which is what injustice means. you're not walking right. You have something going against you. You're not manifesting life and godliness. So here he's saying if we confess our sins, we ascent. We realize we had a covenant with these sins. He God is faithful. Look at this. Trustworthy and just to forgive us our sins. Look at verse uh Romans 10:9 as I always use this verse. that if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus and shalt believe to have faith in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. There's that safe and delivered. It starts with confession, repentance. So you want to live the life of life and godliness that second Peter is talking about. You want to manifest those great and precious promises from God where you do not trip. You do not air. You do not fall. You walk a life that everyone looks around you and says, "What are you doing? How did you do that?" It starts with confession. And it says you will be safe. Thou shalt be safe. Thou shalt be delivered. All that stuff comes out of you. He lay aside. He forgives you. He lay aides. He is faithful. You can trust him to do this. Do you trust him? How many people think they can lose their salvation? If they think that, they don't trust God. Next is don't do it again. You got to renounce. Look at 2 Corinthians 4:2. But have renounced. You got to disown your sins. Disown them. And I'm not going to do it anymore, Lord. This is what renouncement is all about. You are effectively saying to God's throne room, to every angel and to every demon that is listening, you are telling him, "I'm not doing it anymore." In the name of Jesus, the son of God, when you renounce, you disown that sin. You let it go. That is your action. It is a confession of the mouth. Look what it says here. But have renounced, disowned the hidden things of dishonesty. Dishonesty is a ser God hates lying. So there are levels of lying and he hates them. You have to be very cautious. If you're letting little white lies slip out to make your life easier, I promise you, you start a cycle where your life will not be easy because of the lie that you said. Not walking in craftiness. See, you're disowning this now. But have renounced, disowned the hidden things of dishonesty. not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully. Remember earlier when I said in Hosea, we're talking about being cunning and aware, not walking in craftiness. Have renounced, disowned the hidden things of dishonesty, having renounced, disowned, not walking in craftiness. Meaning, you should be walking in your cunning awareness of the word of God. You should be able to see the enemy and fully disarm him with scripture because the knowledge is one of the blessings, one of the benefits that you get to manifest in godliness. Amen. Handling the word of God deceitfully. That goes to teachers and preachers or those theologians that are writing the original like NIV version. These people, they've got a problem. They handled the word of God deceitfully. But he says when you renounce it, you let it go. You disown it. But by manifestation of the truth, commending ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God. You see, now this is where we do it. We renounce it. We let it go. We don't fail. We don't fall. We don't tr trip. We don't air. But we manifest. What's that word manifest mean? We exhibit. We express of the truth. approving ourselves to every man's conscience or their perception in the sight of God. Meaning, even men will see you holy as in the sight of God and acknowledge you Previous Next Related Teachings Heading 6 Teaching Title Heading 6 Button Heading 6 Button Home

THE MESSIAH AND THE KING To reveal the prophetic fulfillment of Jesus Christ as both Messiah and King, showing how His birth, life, crucifixion, resurrection, and promised return all align with Scripture. The message seeks to help believers understand the dual role of Christ—first as the humble Redeemer born in the flesh, and later as the victorious King returning in glory. It calls listeners to recognize the good news of salvation and to prepare their hearts for His return. THE MESSIAH AND THE KING Minister Lisa Kane December 11, 2022 Objective: To reveal the prophetic fulfillment of Jesus Christ as both Messiah and King, showing how His birth, life, crucifixion, resurrection, and promised return all align with Scripture. The message seeks to help believers understand the dual role of Christ—first as the humble Redeemer born in the flesh, and later as the victorious King returning in glory. It calls listeners to recognize the good news of salvation and to prepare their hearts for His return. Synopsis: In this message, Lisa Kane presents a rich teaching on the prophetic foundations of Christ’s coming, beginning with Balaam’s prophecy in Numbers 24:17 that foretells a star rising out of Jacob and a scepter out of Israel. This imagery points to both the human birth of the Messiah and His divine kingship. The fulfillment is traced through the appearance of the star of Bethlehem, the wise men’s search, and prophecies from Daniel, Jacob’s blessings over his sons, and Micah’s foretelling of the Messiah’s birth in Bethlehem. Lisa explains that Israel largely missed the Messiah because they expected a ruling king, not a suffering Redeemer. Yet Christ willingly laid down His authority as the Lion of Judah, went to the cross, and fulfilled the law through His sacrificial death. His crucifixion tore the temple veil, giving direct access to God, and His blood fulfilled the priestly requirement on the mercy seat, redeeming humanity by grace alone. The message then turns to the hope of Christ’s return. Prophecies in Revelation describe His coming on a white horse as King of Kings and Lord of Lords, accompanied by the armies of heaven. While believers now live under grace, Lisa warns of the coming seven-year tribulation reserved for Israel and unbelievers, urging listeners to repent and receive salvation today. The teaching closes with the reminder that Christmas is not merely about exchanging gifts, but about celebrating the birth of the Savior who came to redeem the world. It points to the joy of His resurrection and the certainty of His return as the reigning King. Inspired Teaching: Hello and welcome to the House of Faith Ministries. I'm Lisa Kane. I'm recording this on Sunday, December 11th, 2022. And this message is called the Messiah and the King. Let's open up in a word of prayer. Father God, we bless this message and we thank you for your blessing. We thank you for the good news of the birth of Christ and the good news of his crucifixion. As sad as it it may be, it is what was needed and the excellent news of his return on a white horse. Oh, Father God, thank you. Thank you. Thank you for sending your son to redeem us. In the name of Jesus, we pray. Amen. This is a good message. We are going to be talking about the good news, the gospel right here, right in two weeks before Christmas. This is awesome. Here we go. Let's go to our opening scripture here. We're going to be starting in Numbers of all places. Numbers 24:17. I see him, but not now. I behold him, but not near. A star shall come out of Jacob. A scepter shall rise out of Israel and batter the brow of Moab and destroy all the sons of Tamalt. Okay, let me lay a little bit of groundwork here. The guy who's speaking this prophecy is a guy named Balam. He's hired by the king of Moab called Balak. Now, Balak's scared and he's like, "Here comes the nation of Israel. They're encamping basically around him, but they're at peace." You know, the Israelites have been coming more and more into the prom uh the promised land. They came out of the wilderness, but they've been conquering. And so this guy, they had a reputation that was preceding them. So this king gets scared. So he hires this guy, this prophet Balam, to place a curse on the Israelites. And he's like, I can't do it. I have to do what the Holy Spirit tell the word of God tells me. God tells me. He's a prophet. He's hearing the word from God. And he's speaking prophecy. So this is his fourth prophecy. And because there's scripture in there that tells you because he was following the word of God at this moment in his life and you can go check him out. He's an interesting prophet, but uh he's had his ups and downs. I'll put it that way. But anyways, here he is following the Lord gives him this prophecy. Now, I want you to see something here. Look at this prophet. It's powerful. And and this is perfect right here for Christmas. Okay? I want you to see this. A star shall come out of Jacob. Now notice it uses Jacob's name, his original born name. Now remember Jacob's name changed to Israel. He is the father of the 12 sons who become the 12 tribes of Israel. So he is the father. His name was Jacob and it changed to Israel. So now as a man before becoming a nation. So you see the difference here. He says a star shall come out of Jacob. meaning a star. It's going to come out of the man, the the the the worldly man, human man lineage. So now a male child is going to come out and he's going to have a star that is going to come out of him. Now that star, we know the wise men of the east found it. We're going to get into that a little bit more. Watch this. A scepter shall rise out of Israel. So now you also know that he's going to be king. So you've got two roles from the same person. But notice the name is now Israel, the nation of Israel, and it is now a spiritual thing because it is of God. So now you've got a clue here where you've got the king coming as a spiritual being and the son, a male child being born as a human being, male. Now, isn't that just cool? So, this is tucked in there. And and you got to read into it to get it. Now, did the wise men know this? I don't know. But what I do know is that they did find him. Let's go look at Matthew real quick. Let's discuss this. Matthew 2 1-2. Now, after Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea, in the days of Herod the king, behold, wise men from the east came to Jerusalem, saying, "Where is he who has been born king of the Jews? For we have seen his star in the east and have come to worship him. So, lots of questions here. Where do these wise men come from? So, I'm going to I I need to lay some groundwork here, okay? And I need you to to have an open mind here. It is possible that these guys come through Daniel and Daniel was placed head over the wise men of Babylon who were are the wise men from the east. So it is potentially because Daniel had such prophecies given to him for the future of the nation of Israel and the the return of Messiah when he'd be cut off and all that kind of good stuff. You will see that it is highly potential that he started the school and it just passed down because then all of a sudden these wise men find it. Now, you also know that there are heavenly signs that the scripture tells us to look for that tells us about the gospel and the good news. They're throughout scripture. Now, if I went into all of them, we'd be here forever. So, I cannot do that. Again, I encourage this is the time you're about to celebrate Christmas, the birth of our Messiah. Now, whether he was born on this day, when he was born, he was born, okay? And that's what counts. And this is the time where you're going to celebrate and you're going to exchange gifts. Well, this is the time to remember the good news of why he was born. He came as a man to redeem us. That is the most important thing. And he came with heavenly signs and all kinds of prophecies. So, to let you know a little bit more about these heavenly signs, let me give you a little background. And I'm going to go back to an older one that's not mentioned in the Bible, but it's mentioned in the book of Jasher. Now, the book of Joshua parallels Genesis quite a bit. It wasn't put in the Bible for whatever reason. Maybe because it it it it almost repeats itself. Maybe. I don't know. Don't know the reasoning behind it. Again, what we have in the physical Bible right now is the spiritual connotation of our spiritual growth. But these extra books here do provide um some historical context. And I like this particular one. And I it's been validated. This is a legitimate book. This is not a that's another thing is you have to be very careful if these things are um when they're written and the timing. You got to really look into this. But I do trust the book a jasher uh enough to know that when you look at the birth of Abram who becomes the father of many and nations, Abraham, you find that he had a very interesting birthday and there was a huge heavenly sign at his time. Now he was born when Nimrod was king and his father Tran or Terra he had been he was chief over the armies of Nimrod. So they the wise men came over to Tron's house and I I think I'm butchering his name but anyways they come over they're celebrating. He had a male child. His name is Abram. And as soon as they're done with the celebration, they walk out. They see like a shooting star or um a comet or an asteroid meteorite, something real fast. Eat at four stars is how they look at it. So some sort of celestial event that takes place. You can go look that up. Look it up in the book of Jasher. Just do search. I I did search the word star and that's how I found it. But you want to read about the birth of Abram. That is very interesting. So they knew as soon as they saw that that he would be the father of many nations and that a king would come out of his line. You want to talk about how upset Nimrod was? He ordered to because now his wise men went to him and says listen if we don't tell Nimrod this and he finds out he's going to kill us. We have to tell him because we want to live here. So they tell him. So they you know there there's a whole story there. You can see what Nimrod does in it. And Tron ends up getting um another child that was born the same day as Abram from one of his maid servants. And he gives that child and Iran kills that child. So Abram takes his the mother and Abram the son and they end up living in a cave for 10 years. And by the way, Abram was raised by Noah and Shem. And so now you understand how come Abram starts looking for God and then God takes him out of the land of the Calaldanss out of and brings him into what would end up being the the holy land for the nation of Israel. So a land filling flowing with milk and honey. So you can see this was all prophesied that was done there for them. So the same principle applies today for the star of Bethlehem. Now, I I'm not an astronomer and I'm not very good at that kind of stuff. So, I'm going to give you a reference point to check out. Check this out. There's a documentary called The Star Bethlehem. It was written uh pres uh I guess published in 2007. And uh here's the website for it. It's presented by a guy named Rick Larson. I highly recommend you watch it. You can uh buy it, rent it. Um and it's on YouTube if you search it. Anyways, get in there and check it out. He explains what Jupiter does coming in with Regulus, the star, coming in with Venus, brightens up and shows itself a lot lighter, and then goes into retrograde, which makes it looks like it stopped and made it look like it went backwards. And so, the men of the east saw this and and he explains how they could see it. By the way, when they go to talk to Herod and they set off a whole set of events here, Herod gets he feels threatened. So, he goes he he wants the wise men to come back and tell him where the child was born. He they never do the the either I don't remember it's an angel or um a dream, but they were told to get out of there and they did. So, they did not go back to Herod. But Herod went in, sent his men again like what Nimrod did. He wanted to kill the baby. Herod tried to kill every child, every male child under the age of two under at that time. So now they set off these series of events which means also the nation of see these wise men figured the king who is king of that land which meant he was king of Israel at that time because Israel was living there. He should have known about the star and he didn't. and these wise men are trying to figure out. So they set off this event and the nation of Israel missed it. And and and the worst part of all of this is that the nation of Israel didn't and even the wise men, did you see what the wise men said when they showed up? Look at this. Matthew 2 1-2. It says, "Where is he who has been born king of the Jews?" Now, you saw my opening scripture where he was going to become a man and then come back spiritually as a king. They missed it. They didn't realize. So, he had two roles to fulfill here and they put him all into one thinking he's going to be king. The nation of Israel, you know why they rejected uh Jesus Christ as the son of God, as their Messiah? Because they didn't fit the profile they thought of him. He should have been king and he wasn't because he couldn't be king yet. Now he will come back as king but he's not king yet. So this is very interesting. So I want you to see now another prophecy of old that is in the past and uh over the birth of Christ here and what he's coming because now it's not just this one prophecy by Balam that did this. There's a whole lot of prophecies here but I want to show you this one. This is now Jacob blessing his sons. So let's put it in context first. So we're going to look at Genesis 49:es 1-2. And Jacob called his sons and said, "Gather together that I may tell you what shall befall you in the last days." So now he's prophesying. And notice he says, "Gather together and hear you sons of Jacob and listen to Israel your father." He's talking as the man and he's talking as God. So he's prophesying. So now what we're going to do is we're going to skip to verse eight because we're going to just talk about Judah here. Not all the prophecies of all the sons. Again, you can go read that. It's very fascinating. So verse eight, Judah, you are he whom your brothers shall praise. The term Judah means praise. And we do praise our Lord Jesus. Amen. And Jesus comes out of Judah. Says, your hand shall be on the neck of your enemies. Your father's children shall bow down before you. Judah is a lion's welp. From the prey, my son, you have gone up. He bows down. He lies down as a lion. And as a lion, who shall rouse him? Before I continue on, I want you to understand something here. See that Jesus, a lion's welp, he has the authority of a lion. He can be the And by the way, he's he was 33 years old when he did this. So he was very young. Lion's well, very young. And as he go, he went and lied his life dead. laid his life down at the cross with every authority that he could have walked away from it if he wanted to, but he didn't. Hallelujah. This is our Messiah. He laid down his authority, his life. He says, "No, I got Lisa in the future. I'm going to be seeing her. She's going to be praising and worship me. I got to go save her." You see how what Jesus did as a man born a male child and then crucified as a man to redeem us as the son of God because he fulfilled the law. Let's continue on with the prophecy here. Now he says the scepter shall not depart from Judah. So even though he laid his authority down, it wasn't leaving him. So you see, Israel should have known. They should have seen that he was going to come as a man first and then as king because now you're seeing him lay down the authority. But now they're saying, you know, he's not going to lose it. He ain't let it go. Uh nor lawgiver from between his feet until Shiloh comes, and to him shall be the obedience of the people, binding his donkey to the vine, and his donkeyy's cold to the choice wine. He washed his garments in wine and his clothes in the blood of grapes. His eyes are darker than wine and his teeth whiter than milk. He came in on a cult. Remember Palm Sunday? And they got the palms that they're laying down and he's walk riding on a a cult. You can see the prophecy here. Him as a man laying down his authority to go get crucified. This the nation of Israel should have known. So here I've been talking about when Daniel had taught them when they would know when Messiah would be cut off, but they didn't fit the image because they only saw one part of the prophecy. They were only seeing him as a king and not as the redeemer, as the Messiah, as the son of God. Oh, let's go on. Look here in Matthew 25-6. they said to him. And now when this is going back to the wise men talking to King Herod because now they're going to try to find out where he came from. So again, this goes back to the knowledge that they had. Remember the wise men are approaching the king because they think he should know everything. So and the Israelites are there. His wise men are there. Watch this. They're having this conversation about finding the male child. Watch this says, "So they said to him, so the question had come up was, well, where is he? Where, you know, they want to know. Obviously, Herod had a motive for wanting to know, but the wise men wanted to know because and so the the Israelites, the Pharisees and Sadducees, the wise men of that area are now answering. They said, "Well, this is uh" he says, "In Bethlehem of Judea, for this is written by the prophet, but you Bethlehem in the land of Judah are not the least among the rulers of Judah. for out of you shall come a ruler who will shepherd my people. Again, they went to the kingship. And notice they find this specific uh prophecy by Micah. Let's go to Micah because I want you to see the the scripture here. Micah 5:2 says, "But you Bethlehem Ephere tha though you are little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of you shall come forth to me the one to be ruler in Israel whose goings forth are from of old from everlasting." So they just targeted him in Bethlehem and they told Herod Bethlehem. They they knew that he would be coming. He would be born in Bethlehem. And he was he was born in Bethlehem. They did. The wise men found him, but they found them already in their home. They did. You know, I mistaught in the last couple of messages that I taught because I said he found him lying uh wrapped in swaddling clothes lying in manger. Something you're taught by Christmas pageantss. You got to be careful with Christmas. Go to the scripture. don't get caught up in the stories that fit the scene because they want to fit the wise men in with the the shepherds and the angels singing. You got to go back to the scriptures and see it. And I fell for that hook, line, and sinker. And I humbly apologize. So now going back to scripture, you find that they found him in his home. So anywhere between 3 months old to two years old, they find him and they give him gold, frankincense, and myrr and they worship him. But they found him because of the star doing what it was doing in that time frame. Go read that or watch that documentary. He explains all that. It's fascinating. But that is how they found the Messiah, the son of God, born as a man, born as a male child. That is awesome. And that is very good news. This is why we celebrate Christmas. Amen. Now though, he had a purpose. He lived for 33 years. And the last three years of life his life he was in ministry and he you saw the prophecies he laid down his authority as a lion of the tribe of Judah and he went and got crucified. Now let's go look at the crucifixion real quick. So I want you to see something here. It's very powerful. Matthew 24:50-54. And Jesus cried out again with a loud voice and yielded up his spirit. Then behold the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. Pause. You got to see this. The veil is like a thick piece of carpet and it kept the Holy of Holies. It kept people from going in there because God was in there and man, flesh, woman, we cannot get into the Holy of Holies as this. We can't. So they had to put this veil up and they made it thick. So thick. So when Jesus now see they rejected Jesus as the son of God when they rejected him because they were expecting a ruler. This guy wasn't a ruler. In fact he was being crucified and it was embarrassing because it was like being a worm on the cross in his loin cloth. Embarrassing. This cannot be our Messiah. This can't be the son of God. So they rejected him. And the moment he gave up his spirit, that veil was torn into allowing now he tore the representation that the nation of Israel had of God. He tore it out of their hands and said, "Here, I put it on myself, Jesus Christ, because I am the son of God. And now I take it on myself and I will represent myself to the world and let the world know you can come direct to me. You don't have to go through the Holy of Holies. Oh, can you imagine the priest who saw that and discovered it? Or even if there were priests working around that area and heard it fall, the idea of looking in there, seeing that fall, and thinking you're about to die because now the Holy of Holies just came out. You could just imagine the look on their face, the fear turning pale white. Oh my goodness gracious, what an event. You have to look at that and see for what it is. But there's more. I want you to see this. This is awesome. Says, "And the earthquake and the rocks were split." Okay? Jesus had a purpose because he's redeeming us with his blood. And I want you so let's I'm going to come back to this part here. Let's finish reading the scriptures. And the graves were open and many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised. and coming out of the graves after his resurrection, they went into the holy city and appeared to many. So when the centurion and those with him who were guarding Jesus saw the earthquake and the things that had happened, they feared God greatly, saying, "Truly, this was the son of God." There's a lot that happened there. Okay, so it come out of the graves, by the way. And you got to understand this pe this is peacemeal into a moment but it it happens over the three days because Jesus is in the grave for three days and then he comes out of it. But these events so they see it. So this centurion by the way uh so he he acknowledges that he's the son of god and he realizes he just crucified the son of god. Do you even hear about a centurion going and committing suicide? No. You know why? Because he heard the teachings of what happened. He heard from Peter and the disciples of that time telling him this had to happen. He warned us this would happen. And now he is our Messiah. He's the redeemer. His blood redeemed us. But that centurion saw that blood go down and he got the whole thing put together and he believed. Now I want you to see what happened here. He says the earthquake and the rock split. Well, what took place here? Go to Ron Wyatt's ministry. Go check out his website. He found the ark of the covenant. Now he's gone on to be with the Lord. He's rested in peace with the heavenly father right now. But he finds this cave down there. He actually faints when he finds it. You can go read about his story. He's got video. Um but he he finds it and the angels help him and he gets blood off the mercy seat. But it's right under the cross. So when the rock split, the blood that came out from what the centurion stabbed him with, blood and water, it flowed and hit the ground, shaking it, splitting the rocks. and the blood lands right on the mercy seat. He fulfilled the law. He didn't He didn't rebuke it. He didn't stop it. He didn't end it. He fulfilled it. And then he said, "I give you grace. Just ask me. You don't have to do anything to be redeemed. You are saved by grace and grace alone because I forgive you of your sins." And that is what the blood on the mercy seat did. And Ron White had that blood tested. And these people, different agencies said, "Where did you get this blood? It was missing the male part." And it was perfect and it was still alive. Oh, and if you guys don't believe that, even if you don't believe that, you can believe that maybe an angel was there and he poured it on there, but that blood had to go on the mercy seat of the ark of the covenant. And it did. Hallelujah. And you could see even the centurion realize this is the son of god. So now you see him uh fulfill the priestly duty as the son of god as a male as a man a human man who went to the cross. He completed everything. And here's the best part. Remember Jesus is the embodiment of the words let there be light. He's the power of the new. He had wrote the scriptures from the beginning, working with Daniel, working with Jeremiah, working with Isaiah. He's been there from the beginning, giving them the right words to say, how to put it down, how to write it. He gave that to them. So when he was there, he knew, I got to fulfill what I had written here. I got to do this. I got He fulfilled prophecy. He fulfilled first being the man. And he did it as the son of God, holy, perfect, no sin on him. But he took the sin from each and every one of us. Took it on him and he took it with grace and he went to the cross and gave up his spirit. Laid down his authority. Remember how the devil tempted him. I can give you all. First of all, Jesus already had all that authority. But he laid it down at the cross. Says, I'll come back to get you. And we're going to talk about him returning as king. But he says, I'll come back to get you. I got to go save Lisa. I got to go save you. Put your name there. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. You see why you celebrate now? His birth. Now look at this. Psalm 45:6 and Hebrews 18 says the same thing. Your throne, oh God, is forever and ever. A scepter of righteousness is a scepter of your kingdom. Whoever wrote Hebrews, a lot of people think it's Paul. He he quoted it also and says, "But to the son, he says, your throne," and he's talking to the son of God there. This is your throne, oh God, is forever and ever. A scepter of righteousness is the scepter of your kingdom. So even though he laid down his authority, he had his kingdom forever and ever. A scepter of righteousness. So what did Jesus do then? He laid this down. And look, because he didn't come to condemn us. Look at this. Look at what he did on the cross. He says John 3:15 through18 that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that whoever believes in him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send his son into the world to condemn the world but that the world through him might be saved. He who believes in him is not condemned, but he who does not believe in him is condemned already because he has not believed in the name of the holy begotten son of God. This is what Jesus had to do as the son of God as a man. And he did it flawlessly. We can be saved today. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. But he's coming back because he laid his scepter down, his kingship down, his authority down. He picked it back up. So, by the way, he leaves. He He hands the representation to the bride of Christ now. He says, "You tell them I'm coming back. You tell them they can get grace. Get as many as you can." And that's what we've been doing from generation to generation. But he says, "I come back." Which means this grace period comes to an end. So, we can celebrate his birth and we can celebrate his death, but it it will end. Mercy and grace is here and now, but it is not in the seven-year tribulation. So, let's go look at that because we need to understand what's going on here because he's got to now put the he, you know, in Daniel, and I've been teaching on this, so I'm not going to go deeply into this because I've already taught on it. And Daniel says the nation of Israel has 490 years of punishment they got to give to God. Well, they only gave 483 years. They got seven years left. So now the nation of Israel has to come back into the picture. So God Jesus has to give them back their authority during that time to minister to the people at that time which is what the role of the 144,000 will be and the two witnesses which means it has to be taken away from the bride of Christ. Now he violently tore it away from the nation of Israel. What is he going to do for the bride of Christ? Well, there's two options. Let's go read first what's going on in Revelation here. 5:5 But one of the elders said to me, "Do not weep. Behold, the line of the tribe of Judah, the root of David has prepared to pre prevailed to open the scroll and to loose its seven seals." So that was the fulfillment of Jesus on the cross as a man. So now you're going to see in Revelation 19 him come back. Now, what I want you to see and understand here is that seven-year tribulation is a whole new set of rules. You see, we celebrate the birth of Christ and we celebrate his death right now because you can get grace right now and be saved now. Don't pass this opportunity up because there are two options here. You have the option to go up in the rapture, which will happen on the day of the Lord. And this is the day that starts day one of the seven-year tribulation. God pours his wrath out on that day. It's a huge earthquake. So, if you survive that day, you have the option. Now, if you're a believer in Christ, you've you ask Jesus to be your Lord and Savior. You call him the son of God, you will be saved, and you get to avoid the seven-year tribulation. But I'm going to tell you right now, the invitation to attend the seven-year tribulation has been placed for the nation of Israel. And they've accepted because they rejected Jesus on the cross as the son of God. They they uh they crucified him. So they accepted their invitation to the seven-year tribulation. That seven-year tribulation is for them. But anyone else alive on that day of the Lord who has not called Jesus the son of God, they now accept the invitation to attend that seven-year tribulation as well. Now, people will die through that time. A lot of people, in fact, by the time the seven years come to an end, it says men will be finer than gold. So, you can imagine how few people are going to be on the planet at that time. It's going to be nuts. Okay. I do not wish that on even an enemy. Okay? I don't wish it on anyone. Do not go through this time period. Now is the time to accept grace. But I will tell you at the end of that seven-year tribulation, we have the victory. Watch what Jesus does because now he's got to come back as king. Because the prophecy say he's going to come back as king. We know he came as son as the son of God as a male child here born on the earth. Now we can know he came he's going to come as king. Watch this. Revelation 19. We're going to read verses 11 through 16. Now I saw heaven opened and behold a white horse. And he who sat on him was called faithful and true and in righteousness he judges and makes war. His eyes were like a flame of fire and on his head were many crowns. He had a name written that no one knew except himself. He was clothed with the robe dipped in blood and his name is called the word of God. Remember I said he's the embodiment of let there be light. He is the word of God. He's been there the entire time and you can see that name is on him as he comes back. That name is on him. He is the son but he's the word of God. Now look and here it is what John now you got to realize something here. I want you to see this. Revelation is written by John as an old man and he's on the island of Patmos. He's writing this. But John as a younger version of himself already knew that he was the word of God. So now you can go back to John 1:1. Look at what he says. He says, "In the beginning was the word and the word was with God and the word was God." He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through him and without him nothing was made that was made. In him was life and the life was the light of men. So he's been here the entire time. This is all his his events. This is all about Jesus. Everything's about Jesus. You got to put him first and then you can have everything else. Oh, look at this though. And by the way, you won't want anything else. You know what? When you die to yourself and you die to sin, you want to spend time with the Lord. You know, I was in this this week studying the scripture. Really, this message has been one of the toughest ones I've had to teach in a while because the devil doesn't want the gospel, the good news to be shared. But you know, as buffeted as I was, I still got up here and I spent all day yesterday working on this message and all the interruption. It was like, wow. But the good news is that he was born and he died a man fulfilling the law, redeeming us, and he's coming back as king. And he is the word of God. And he's been here this whole time. And you know this, by the way, you know this in your spirit. You know, even an unbeliever knows this. They know this. They they could feel it. They sense it. Now watch this. Look at this. So, and the armies in heaven clothed him. Look, I'm finishing up Revelation here. And the armies in heaven clothed him fine linen, white and clean, followed him on white horses. That's us. Those of us who say Jesus is the son of God, we're going to be there with him because rapture already happened. We're coming back now. And and so many people have died up to this point. So, these are the people who have claimed Jesus as the son of God and put him in as their lordship. We're on the white horses behind him coming in to fight. Well, there is no fight, by the way. Yeah. Jesus just takes him alive, throws the the prophet in the beast into the lake of fire. This is incredible. This just so we're there. We don't need to be, but we're there. This is how much Jesus loves us. Look at this now. Says, "Now out of his mouth goes a sharp sword that with it he should strike the nations." Remember his mouth, let there be light, started this whole thing. So his word comes out and this is what defeats it all. This is he doesn't have to lift up a a real sword. He's got it coming out of his mouth. Let there be light and there was light and here we are today. Now out of his mouth goes a sharp sword that with it he should strike the nations and he himself will rule them with a rod of iron. He himself treads the wine press of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. He is putting an end to it all there. He is even ending the wrath of God. He's pressing it down. This is it. Now, now I want you to see what he is to fulfill all this. Look at this. And he has on his robe and on his thigh a name written, King of Kings and Lord of Lords. Oh, hallelujah. And he comes back as our King. That is what the nation of Israel was looking for. They're going to finally see it. Oh, they're going to finally see it and they're going to be like, "There's our Messiah. There's our God." And we're all going to be there. What an awesome message. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah.

WATCH AND PRAY WITH DILIGENCE The objective of this message is to encourage believers to remain spiritually alert, prayerful, and prepared for the return of the Lord. By studying prophetic scriptures and recognizing the signs of the times, Christians are exhorted to live soberly, guard their hearts and minds, and diligently pursue God’s presence so that they may be found worthy to escape the trials coming upon the earth. WATCH AND PRAY WITH DILIGENCE Minister Lisa Kane March 20, 2022 Objective: The objective of this message is to encourage believers to remain spiritually alert, prayerful, and prepared for the return of the Lord. By studying prophetic scriptures and recognizing the signs of the times, Christians are exhorted to live soberly, guard their hearts and minds, and diligently pursue God’s presence so that they may be found worthy to escape the trials coming upon the earth. Synopsis: In this teaching, Lisa Kane opens with prayer and then begins in 1 Thessalonians 5, where Paul warns that the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night. The message highlights the urgency of being watchful and vigilant, contrasting spiritual wakefulness with spiritual sleep and drunkenness. Believers are urged to wear the helmet of salvation and the breastplate of faith and love, maintaining focus and purity in a world full of distractions. The sermon then explores prophetic connections, including references to Ezekiel 38–39 and Matthew 24, tying together end-time signs such as wars, earthquakes, pestilences, and the sealing of the 144,000. Jesus’ teachings about the days of Noah are emphasized—Noah received advanced warning and prepared diligently, while others ignored the signs. Similarly, Christians today must remain spiritually prepared, recognizing that while no one knows the day or hour, the season and signs are clear. Scriptures from Luke 21 and Mark 13 stress the importance of prayer and worthiness, echoed by the parable of the ten virgins, where only the prepared entered the wedding feast. Lisa warns that half of believers may miss the rapture due to lack of diligence, though still ultimately saved, they will endure great tribulation and suffering. Personal testimony illustrates the struggle with worldly distractions and the enemy’s attempts to weigh believers down with the cares of life. Yet through prayer and focus on God, victory and clarity can be found. Supporting verses from Psalms, Timothy, Hebrews, and Peter reaffirm the call to seek God diligently, present ourselves approved before Him, and remain blameless as we await Christ’s return. The message closes with an exhortation: just as people secure their homes against thieves, so too must Christians prepare for the Lord’s coming through prayer, scripture, vigilance, and faith. The reward of diligence is escaping judgment through the rapture and entering eternal peace with Christ. Inspired Teaching: Hello and welcome to the House of Faith Ministries. I'm Lisa Kaine and I'm recording this on Sunday, March 20th, 2022. This message is called Watch and Pray with Diligence. Let's open up in a word of prayer. Father God, we lift up this message to your throne room and ask for your blessing upon it. Lord, we pray and ask that we hear your word, apply your word, live your word, and acknowledge that you are God and in control of everything that you do. Thank you for your blessings and your favor upon us and your anointing. In the glorious name of Jesus, we pray. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. All right, let's go into our first set of scriptures here. We're going to start with First Thessalonians chapter 5. We're going to read verses 1-1. I will stop in between, but let's get started. But concerning the times and the seasons, brethren, you have no need that I should write to you. For you yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so comes as a thief in the night. I want to pause. The day of the Lord is an interesting day. Now you can go through the scriptures. There is a lot of information about the day of the Lord. A lot of things are going to happen and I do believe it's in a particular order. So it does start with Russia invading uh Israel and then God protecting Israel. this great earthquake takes place, the sun goes dark, um the moon turns red. So, there's these activities. Um the ceiling of the 144,000 take place, and then of course the bride of Christ is resurrected, um raptured up. So, there's a lot of things that happen on the day of the Lord. So, Paul is talking to the Thessalonians saying, "Okay, I want you to pay attention here. You're not going to know the days or the time." Watch how he says this. He says uh concerning the times and the seasons, brother, you have no need that I should write to you, for you yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so comes as a thief in the night. And we got to remember this term thief. And I'm really going to address that in this message because this message about watching and praying diligently is about being prepared. You're going to love this. So let's continue on with the scriptures. Uh so verse three, for when they say peace and safety, then sudden destruction comes upon them as labor pains upon a pregnant woman and they shall not escape. Labor pains is what uh Jesus describes as Matthew describes in Matthew 24. And when you start hearing about rumors of wars and wars and earthquakes and famines, pestilences all over the place, which we are in that right now, that is being fulfilled as we teach this message, then you're you you see that this scripture aligns with that. So, this is all about the day of the Lord, and the day of the Lord triggers all of this event. So, he's talking about this to the Thessalonians. Let's continue on. Verse four. But you, brethren, are not in darkness. so that this day should overtake you as a thief. Again, we're going to be talking about being how thieves work. We're gonna we're going to look at that here in just a moment. You are all sons of light and sons of the day. We are not of the night nor of darkness. Therefore, let us not sleep as others do, but let us watch and be sober. That's powerful. We're going to get into that here in just a moment. I want to finish the set of scriptures here. Let's look at verse seven. Uh oops, there we go. For those who sleep sleep at night, and those who get drunk are drunk at night. 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. For God did not appoint us to wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ, who died for us. That whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him. Therefore, comfort each other and edify one another just as you also are doing. Okay, I want to back up here and go here. Okay, there we go. Okay, you can see this is going to be one of those teachings. So, look at this. He says, "Sleep at night, drunk at night, and we're of the day. We need to be sober." So, now take a look at this. He says, "The breastplate of faith and love." I did a whole series on being a soldier in God's army and wearing the helmet of salvation. The helmet of salvation is your covenant with Jesus. And that covenant binds his protection, the helmet, over your head and keeps the worldly thoughts and ideologies out of your head so that your head can stay focused on what the scripture tells us. So here he's saying, not only do you have your hope of salvation by wearing that helmet, but look, he's also talking about breastplate of faith and love. And faith is something we hope for that we cannot see. So all of this has to do with prophecy. Here we are again talking about prophecy. The day of the Lord has not happened yet and everything it describes has not happened. Ezekiel 38 and39 when it talks about the invasion of Russia and then that great earthquake says every wall falls. That has not happened. So that's coming. So this has everything to do with faith. So you've got to keep your mind. So he's telling you where to keep your mind. And then of course including love. And remember Matthew 24 prophesies that love grows cold. So us believers have to maintain that love. So now I want to show you what he's talking about with the mind because I think if you see how the descriptions of what he's saying about the mind, you're going to understand something very carefully here. So here he says um and we're going to look at focus on verse six here in 1 Thessalonians chapter 5. Therefore let us not sleep as others do but let us watch. Look at what the Greek word watch means to keep awake. That is to watch literally or figuratively. Be vigilant. Ah, vigilant. Okay. So, we're going to be having to stay in the word. We have to keep an action to stay awake. Now, let's look at what the sleep portion of this is. So, let me get to the sleep. Here we go. Same verse. Now, now in verse six, he says, "Therefore, let us not sleep." Says, "To sleep, to lie down, to rest." That is by implication to fall asleep. Okay. So, let's talk about the thief and let's talk about our mind in sleepwatch mode. Okay? Which is what Paul is talking about here. So, when you don't feel good, what do you do? You take a pill, you take some sort of medication, and you lie down and rest because you don't feel good. So, you're doing everything you can to let your body rest so it could heal. Okay? So, what Jesus Paul is saying here, hey, listen, you got to be diligent, vigilant, and you've got to be sober minded. meaning you can't have your alcohol or the drugs that impair your mind because there are things going on in the world that you need to watch because otherwise it's going to get you like a thief in the night. So, let's talk about the thief. So, there's a guy out there, let's say guy or gal, and uh they're planning to raid your home. So, what you do because you don't know who this person is. You don't know what they're going to do. You don't know what they want to do. What's the first thing that you do every night so that you could sleep peacefully? Is that you lock your doors in your windows. You even put next to your bed um some sort of weapon and you're there to protect yourself because you don't know if that thief is going to come in. And if that thief should come in, you're prepared to stop the thief from happening. Notice the words, you're prepared. So, this is very interesting because what Jesus and Paul is telling us is to be prepared for the day of the Lord. Okay? But we don't know the day nor the hour. Know the day or the hour? Oh, let's look at the scriptures. I love this. I love this message. This message is powerful. You guys really got to get into the word of God here. I am telling you, you got to get into it. Let's look at Matthew 24:42-44. Therefore, watch therefore, for you do not know what hour your Lord is coming. I want you to stop and look at what he just said. This is Jesus talking. You do not know what hour the Lord is coming. Why didn't he just say you don't know when? You see, we're going to get to the scripture where it says, "Do not know." Um, you know what? Let's continue with scriptures. We're going to continue on there. Uh, verse 43. But you, 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. Therefore, you also be ready, for the son of man is coming at an hour you do not expect. Now, look what he says earlier in the scriptures in Matthew 24. This is verse 36. But of that day and hour, no one knows. Not even the angels of heaven, but my father only. Pause. Day and hour. Boy, that's awfully specific. Why didn't he say you don't know when? A lot of preachers are telling you that you don't know when. They're misinterpreting the scriptures. Watch the deception that takes place about knowing the day of the Lord and when it's coming. Okay, let's continue on. but as the days of Noah were. So Jesus giving us some insight here as to what to watch for to help us prepare. Let's look at what the days of Noah was like. So also will the coming of the son of man be. So the when that rapture comes, that resurrection of the bride of Christ comes, we're going to see him come from the east to the west like lightning in the sky. He says when that happens, it's going to be like the days of Noah. So everything we're talking about is that day of the Lord. There's a series of events and that bride of Christ is resurrected after the 144,000 are sealed. So watch very carefully about the days of Noah because this is so applicable to us. This is the key. For as in the days before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying, and giving in marriage until the day that Noah entered the ark and did not know until the flood came and took them all away. So also will the coming of the son of man be. Okay, we have to look at the days of Noah because there's a mystery here. Jesus says no one knows the day nor the hour. Again, he didn't say no one knows when. He says no one knows the day nor the hour. Well, what happened to the week, the month, the season, the year? He didn't say that. Let's continue on with the scriptures here because I want you to see something that happened in Genesis with the flood. Watch. This is so powerful. Genesis 6:3. And the Lord said, "My spirit shall not strive with man forever, for he is indeed flesh, yet his day shall be 120 years." Now look at Genesis 7:1. Then the Lord said to Noah, "Come into the ark, you and all your household, because I have seen that you are righteous before me in this generation." In verse four, for after seven more days, I will cause it to rain on the earth 40 days and 40 nights, and I will destroy the face of the earth, all living from the face of the earth, all living things that I have made." Ho ho ho. So Jesus says, "Go back to Genesis and take a look because I want you to understand and not be taken like a thief in the night. I don't want you to be unaware of what's coming." So he tells Noah 120 years in advance, you're going to build an ark because I'm going to destroy the earth. So Noah knew 120 years in advance. Okay? And if you get into details, you will find it he didn't start actually building the ark for another 20 years. But as he's building the ark, let me tell you something. How many people saw him building the ark? Many. I bet it was on their news broadcast, television sets, however the people lived during that time, they were aware and they saw that the Lord was coming and they still didn't know. Then look at what he also said. He told Noah, "Come into the ark because in seven days, that's a week. We know in a week." Oh, people, we need to be watching this. We need to be watching because this is why he tells us to watch and be prepared. Now, I want to show you something else here because this is so so amazing. So, you've got Matthew and how he said it. It's like the days of Noah, but Mark and Luke say it differently. They don't use the days of Noah. There's more mystery here. Watch this. Let's start with Luke 21:es 34-36. But take heed to yourselves, lest your hearts be weighed down with kerosene, drunkenness, and cares of this life. Isn't that what Paul was talking about? Having the mind in the fog. When you have your mind on drugs or sickness or ailments or of the matters of this world, your focus on the world and not what's coming. And when you're not aware of what's coming, it's going to take you by surprise. But you can prepare for it because that way that thief won't take you by surprise because you're ready to fight it. So here now when you're preparing for the return of the Lord, you know he's coming. When that last seven days come, what are you going to be doing? He said, "Come inside." [Music] So carousing, drunkenness, and cares of this life, and that day come on you unexpectedly. I'm going to read that verse again. But take heed to yourselves, lest your hearts be weighed down with kerosene, drunkenness, and cares of this life and that day come on you unexpectedly. I'mma pause here for another moment. I got to share slight testimony from this week. I had a rough week. I gotten sick last Sunday and it, you know, it kind of lingered all week long, but I'm over it now. So, it was that sickness attack. It was all these little things that came in and Wednesday was the catalyst of this. And I I had gotten emotional about it and I I was frustrated. I got up from my desk and I walked out went for a walk around my the perimeter where work where I work and as I was like I said, "Lord, what's wrong with me? Why am I getting so focused on this?" And all week long, I had been studying these scriptures, looking at it, trying to figure out how I was going to present this message to you. And it was dawning on me, hey, the devil's trying to get me caught up on the cares of this world. So, as I was walking, I said, you know what, Lord, I'm giving this to you because it ain't my problem. One, nobody's going to care in a hundred years. One, two, I got more important things to look at. The return of you, that's what I'm talking about. You can easily get caught up into the elements of the world here. I mean, we just had St. Patrick's Day. I was driving to work. There were nobody on the road. I don't know how many people took off Thursday and Friday, but I'm sitting there like I guess people wanted to have a good drunken moment because that's what you do on St. Patty's Day. Get caught up in the world, get caught up in the events. You got to watch and be diligent and pray. We're going to show that in just a moment here. Okay, let's continue on with Luke here. Uh verse 35. ever will come as a snare on all those who dwell on the face of the whole earth. Watch therefore and pray always that you may be counted worthy to escape all these things that will come to pass to stand before the son of man. Okay, now this is where it gets different. Okay, so we saw how Matthew talked about it how Jesus said to go back to the days of Noah and Luke is telling us listen you got to be counted worthy. And this is so applicable to what Jesus said with the virgin, the parable of the 10 virgins. Now, I didn't put that parable here. I encourage you to go look the scriptures up. The parable of the 10 virgins are the same. They're 10 virgins. They're all identical and they're the church. So, what happens is fif five of them have their oil and they're ready to go with the wedding party. Five of them don't. So the five that don't say to the ones that do give me give us some of your extra oil. And the ones that are wise tell the others, "Hey, we came prepared. You go buy your own." And while the other ones were out buying their own, the the five came into the wedding, the other five who showed up late, Jesus said, "I don't know who you are." And kept the doors locked and they missed the rapture. So, but they're all believers in Christ. I want you to see that and understand. And look, look at how Mark or Luke says it here, counted worthy to escape all these things. It is a blessing when you are righteous because you're taking the next step. You're not getting caught up in the world with the kerosene and the drunkenness. You're saying, "No, I'm going to choose God." And God says, "Okay, I got a blessing for you. You're going to go up in the rapture." That's what this is about. So, you get counted worthy. So you got to be diligent. And notice he also said to pray. So you're praying, you know, and the things that you need to be praying. Pray for yourself. I don't know how many people are praying for you. First, pray for yourself. Pray for your family. Pray. Let God hear your voice. Because then you can say, "God, you know me because you're hearing my voice because I'm talking to you all the time. And by the way, I talk to him all the time. He knows my voice. I know his." That's another thing is as you enter into that relationship with God, you begin to realize, wow, he's real and he's coming and you line yourself up with him. You get counted worthy. Ah, so it's awesome. So you see the difference here now talking about the same event but another viewpoint. Now watch, I'm going to show you the next one. So we just finished Luke. Now, let's go look at Mark's viewpoint. This is so fascinating. Says, "But of that day and hour, no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the son, but only the father." Now, that's similar to what we already heard. But look, take heed, watch and pray. Now, he added prayer, for you do not know when the time is. It is like a man going to a far country who left his house and gave authority to his servants and to each his work and commanded the doorkeeper to watch. Watch therefore for you do not know when the master of the house is coming. In the evening, at midnight, at the crowing of the rooster, or in the morning, lest coming suddenly he find you sleeping. And what I say to you, I say to all, watch. There's even more information here. Oh my goodness, you guys. This is powerful. Okay, so he emphasizes here, watch. He also emphasizes prayer. But look at what he said. He said in the evening, at midnight, at the crowing of the rooster, or in the morning. Okay, so you have evening, you got midnight. Crowing of the rooster is just before the sunlight breaks the horizon outside. And then you have morning. What happened to noon? [Laughter] Is it possible that we don't know the day nor the hour simply because we're on different time zones, but we know 120 years in advance. We know seven days before. And if you watch Jonathan Khan and how he's been revealing the mysteries of the Jubilees over the last 20 so plus years. So we're already coming into the realization that God has shown us the last 120 years what's happening. And I talked about Mark Twain being the stranger. In fact, I think the clock starts there and I forget what year it is. 18 something. Uh I think 1867 because I think 1967, the 50-year Jubilees, it lands on the same as um uh taking over Jerusalem, the Israelites did in the six- day war of 1967. Anyways, you can look all that up. It's all there. Don't take my word for it. But I'm telling you that you have this clock that started. And so when Jesus talks about the the rumors of wars and the wars and the pestilence and the COVID 19, which is a pestilence, u the famines, how many people are starving in the world, and all the earthquakes. I don't know if you've noticed how much how many earthquakes we've had lately. It's been quite a bit. So this is what he's saying. Watch and pray and be diligent about it. Vigilant is the other word that Paul used in Thessalonians. This is absolutely imperative that you do this because you don't want to become unaware, which means you need to prepare. So, if you're going to prepare for a thief by locking your doors, locking your windows, having things that will trigger your your senses to wake you up in case you hear somebody messing with the door. These are things that you prepare for, which means you need to prepare for the return of the Lord. So, that day is coming. It's prophetic. There is no if. It is a when. Okay? We don't know the day nor the hour. But we certainly do know the season. We know that if Jesus fulfilled the first set of feast of the Israelites by his coming as a man and dying on the cross for our sins, that was all fulfilled with the first fruits fruit uh first feast that happened in the Israelites Passover. That's he was the Passover lamb. So he fulfills all that. So the second half of the feast are all the fall feast. So we do have a good idea it's going to happen in the fall there. You know God has his clock. He knows his clock. Okay. Uh we know so we know a season. We know that we had this 120 years. And if you go back and look at the last 120 years, um even after the stranger in the land did what he did, there was a series of large earthquakes that happened at that time. Uh we're we're talking a whole lot of them. You can go back and look at this. Uh you had um the one uh from Isuza Street Revival that was um h that revival was happening at the same time that large earthquake happened in San Francisco. But there was a series of about three other earthquakes that were in the eights during that time. So I'm telling you the clock started and we knew 120 years in advance. So now it comes down to the last seven week seven days that we're going to know. Don't know when that's coming, but we will know because God will tell every believer that is spending time with him, come inside. Those are the words he's going to tell us. So now question is, are you going to hear it? Because if you are spending time in the secret place with the Lord, you will hear those words, you will come inside and you will be ready and waiting for his return. Oh, so it is time to prepare. The other part that comes out of this in in a subtle way is to comfort one another. I know that this sounds like a doom and gloom type of message and it sounds scary, but you have to realize something. Look at the world. You know, I get it. Go back to Darwin. He's looking at the beach and he's looking around. He he describes it as a peaceful moment. Now, don't let it deceive you because he's thinking, okay, well, in this peaceful moment, it's always peaceful. And that's when he came up with evolution and he measured it on that moment. And we can go outside and look at the green trees, get a little breeze, puff a cloud here and there. It's gorgeous. This earth is gorgeous. It really is. And you can have that moment of peace. It really is nice. But I'm going tell you right now that's going away. You know when we talked about that first scripture talking peace and comfort and then all of a sudden sudden destruction. So right now things look quite peaceful when you step outside and don't look at the news. But if you watch the news, because we need to be watching and be diligent and pray, then we're aware of what's going on. There are other scriptures that support this and in a whole different kind of way. And I I want to go here and give you some additional scriptures because I think you can see it how the whole Bible prepares us for this. This is amazing. I just love the Lord. He's just so good at this. I mean, I love him. I love him. Okay, so Psalm 8:17, I love those who love me and those who seek me diligently will find me. So here he's telling you, you're going to find me. So don't think that, oh, if I go do this, I ain't going to be there. No, no, no, no, no. He's going to be there and he's going to get you ready. Especially when you say, you know, God, I don't want to be left behind. He understands that, respects that, and he will comfort you. Look at these other scriptures. Uh 2 Timothy 2:15, be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. Again, be prepared. Get yourself in front of God now before the judgment day comes so that you can say, "Lord, I need your help because I'm a sinner and I need to get right with you so I can move forward with you in what you're doing because this doesn't matter anymore. You matter and my future with you matters." Amen. Let's look at Hebrews. Here we go again. Hebrews 11:6. 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. The reward is the rapture and not being left in this earth. Now remember the 10 virgins I talked about. 50% went up with the Lord, 50% stayed back. All believers. Now I want you to understand something. how you die. We all want to hope that we can control our death and it be somewhat of a comfort like go to sleep and don't wake up something to that effect where it's painless. Think of it like this. That 50% that didn't go still have to die. Now in that first five months after that day of the Lord and all those events that trigger or get triggered they they happen on that day the next five months you can't die and then there's going to be thunders and this is in Revelation go read it I didn't bring that scripture here but there are going to be thunders that are going to come out and talk to you who's here. So those that are believers again are going to have the opportunity and they're going to realize because they've been hearing about us teaching them about the rapture all this time and they missed the boat because they chose not to be diligently and and show themselves approved and worthy and diligent to God because they missed the boat. They're going to have to die again. They miss the blessing of the rapture that you can grab now if you just go get in his presence. But if you So it's not like you're going to miss out in eternity. I want you to understand that you're just missing out in the blessing of not being here for the torture and the torment. And I'm going to tell you that first five months of who uh is left behind, the 144,000 are sealed. That's the Israelite male Jews that are sealed. They won't be touched. But these locust things are going to be going around stinging every other human being on this earth. And so if you miss this rapture, which is the blessing to get out of that, then you're stuck dealing with that torment and torture and pain. I am trying to hopefully catch you before it gets there. Please, I urge you, not only repent, but get into the presence of God and show yourself worthy to God. Amen. Look at what 2 Peter 3:14 says. Therefore, beloved, looking forward to these things, be diligent to be found by him in peace without spot and blameless. Again, the same message. You're seeing the same theme. It is time that we get into the presence of the Lord in our secret place and say, "Okay, God, I am going to do my best. Yeah, I s I fall every day. Look at what happened in my testimony I shared earlier for this week. Getting caught up in the the things of the world even, you know, and I taught on this uh uh the last message about even the elect possibly being deceived. It's like that should scare the living hell out of you in all reality. Oh, I hope this is why I get into the secret place with the Lord. I'm praying. Lord, don't let me get deceived. I'm hoping that helmet is thick, strong, and it keeps the world out of my head and my heart. So, when the attacks come on, because that's what's happening right now. The deception is on, the attacks are on. The world seems so tempting to, oh, I can relax and be at peace here and enjoy. But it's coming. It's coming. This day of the Lord is coming. It is prophetic. It is prophesied. I think all of the the u prophets talk about it if not most of them do but it's coming and the word of God was written and assembled for us today to know what's coming because we're that generation. And I'm telling you my friends, you got to wake up, get the fog out of your mind. Be diligent and prepare. Meaning get into that secret place with the Lord. Pray. Pray for yourself. Pray for your family. Pray. Let God hear your voice and you hear his voice. Meaning, you get the scriptures and learn. Don't Don't rely on the preachers out here because they're the ones that are teaching you, hey, no one's going to know when anyways. Don't worry about it. That's what a lot of them are teaching. That's not what the Bible says. You can just see what I just taught. We know 120 years in advance and seven days before. We know. Oh, and it looks like around noon. All I'm saying is be ready. Amen. Let's pray. And let's pray for that strength. Let's pray together. Uh I want you to agree with me in prayer. And I pray that you are diligent in your prayer life and that you and God get to know one another. Amen. Oh, heavenly father, we thank you for this word. Oh, thank you for getting us prepared. I pray and ask that you prepare us appropriately. That you give us the the strength and the endurance to get into the secret place with you to find out who you are. That we talk to you and that we hear you and that we apply your word to our spirit and our soul and that we can say, "You are God. You are in control and we know where you're going and we're going to follow where you go." Oh, hallelujah. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you, Father God. In the glorious name of Jesus, we pray. Amen. Amen. And God bless you. And I'll see you in the next video. Bye-bye. Previous Next Related Teachings Heading 6 Teaching Title Heading 6 Button Heading 6 Button Home

The objective is to reveal what Scripture promises happens when we seek Him: restoration from captivity, divine understanding, answered prayer, freedom from fear, and supernatural peace. Through biblical examples and practical application, this teaching equips listeners with clear steps to seek God daily and experience His restoring power. SEEK AND YOU WILL FIND Minister Lisa Kane February 19, 2026 Objective: In Seek and You Will Find, Minister Lisa Kane teaches that seeking the Lord is not optional—it is urgent and transformational. Rooted in Hosea 10:12, this message calls both believers and nonbelievers to break up the fallow ground of their hearts and intentionally pursue God. The objective is to reveal what Scripture promises happens when we seek Him: restoration from captivity, divine understanding, answered prayer, freedom from fear, and supernatural peace. Through biblical examples and practical application, this teaching equips listeners with clear steps to seek God daily and experience His restoring power. Synopsis: “For it is time to seek the Lord.” This is not just a suggestion—it is a divine invitation. Drawing from Hosea 10:12, Minister Lisa Kane declares that seeking the Lord brings restoration. When we return to God and obey His voice, as seen in Deuteronomy 30:1–3, He brings us back from captivity and moves with compassion on our behalf. What once held us bound must release us when we truly seek Him. Through Proverbs 2:1–5, we learn that seeking God produces understanding, wisdom, and the knowledge of the Lord—something our flawed human reasoning can never supply. In Luke 11:9–10 and Matthew 7:7–8, Jesus assures us that those who seek will find. Seeking is knocking on His door and accepting His invitation into a deeper relationship made possible by His sacrifice on the cross. But how do we seek Him? Psalm 91:1–3 reveals the answer: dwell in the secret place. Create intentional, quiet time with God. Put Him first. As Matthew 6:33 teaches, when we seek first the Kingdom, everything else aligns. Even in storms, like Peter walking on the water in Matthew 14:25–33, when we reach for Jesus, He immediately reaches back. Seeking Him steadies us on the foundation of His Word and turns trials into testimonies. Minister Lisa also introduces her journal, Between My Prayer and His Answer (released February 16, 2026), as a practical tool for seeking God. By writing prayers, dating requests, and recording answers, believers build a personal testimony of God’s faithfulness. The message concludes with the promise of Philippians 4:6–7: when we seek God through prayer instead of anxiety, He gives peace that surpasses understanding and guards our hearts and minds. Now is the time. Seek Him. Return to Him. Let Him restore you, free you, and rain righteousness upon you. Inspired Teaching: Hosea 10:12 NKJV 12 Sow for yourselves righteousness; Reap in mercy; Break up your fallow ground, For it is time to seek the Lord, Till He comes and rains righteousness on you. “For it is time to seek the Lord”…now is the time to seek the Lord, whether you’re a believer on nonbeliever. Seeking the Lord will restore you and I believe this is a year of restoration. I’m already seeing things restored to me that were stolen. Let me show you scripture that explains what happens when you seek the Lord. Deuteronomy 30:1-3 NKJV “Now it shall come to pass, when all these things come upon you, the blessing and the curse which I have set before you, and you [a]call them to mind among all the nations where the Lord your God drives you, 2 and you return to the Lord your God and obey His voice, according to all that I command you today, you and your children, with all your heart and with all your soul, 3 that the Lord your God will bring you back from captivity, and have compassion on you, and gather you again from all the nations where the Lord your God has scattered you. Deuteronomy says that when you return and obey, you will be brought back from captivity. God will have compassion on you. This applies to us today, not just Israel. When you return, (seek) the Lord, and you obey His Word, whatever is holding you captive will have to let go of you. God will have compassion on you and move on your behalf to set you free. Here’s another scripture and what happens when you seek the Lord. Proverbs 2:1-5 NKJV My son, if you receive my words, And treasure my commands within you, 2 So that you incline your ear to wisdom, And apply your heart to understanding; 3 Yes, if you cry out for discernment, And lift up your voice for understanding, 4 If you seek her as silver, And search for her as for hidden treasures; 5 Then you will understand the fear of the Lord, And find the knowledge of God. Seeking the Lord gives you understanding and we need understanding. We need to understand the fear of the Lord and we will find His knowledge. Our knowledge is flawed but His knowledge is the best. It provides wisdom and patience when facing difficult situations. Here are two more scriptures that shows you more on what happens when you seek the Lord. Luke 11:9-10 NKJV 9 “So I say to you, ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. 10 For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened. Matthew 7:7-8 NKJV 7 “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. 8 For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened. You see, seeking is going up to His door, knocking, and having Jesus invite us into His life. That invitation is the best thing we have, and it is because of what Jesus did on the cross. He paid for our sins and redeemed us. And so, how do we seek the Lord? Psalm 91:1-3 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. Make a quiet place between you and God. That’s seeking Him. That’s putting Him first. That tells God this is important to you and He will meet you there. Read the rest of Psalm 91 and see everything He will do for you. And as a believer, you have that invitation where the door is opened. Once there, you are no longer captive to things of the world. In essence, you are stepping away from the world and placing God first in your life. Matthew 6:33 NKJV 33 But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. You see, when need God to be first in our life and everything else will fall into place. That doesn’t mean we won’t face difficulty. It means that when we do, Jesus lifts us and carries us through it. Matthew 14:25-33 NKJV 25 Now in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went to them, walking on the sea. 26 And when the disciples saw Him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, “It is a ghost!” And they cried out for fear. 27 But immediately Jesus spoke to them, saying, [c]“Be of good cheer! [d]It is I; do not be afraid.” 28 And Peter answered Him and said, “Lord, if it is You, command me to come to You on the water.” 29 So He said, “Come.” And when Peter had come down out of the boat, he walked on the water to go to Jesus. 30 But when he saw [e]that the wind was boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink he cried out, saying, “Lord, save me!” 31 And immediately Jesus stretched out His hand and caught him, and said to him, “O you of little faith, why did you doubt?” 32 And when they got into the boat, the wind ceased. 33 Then those who were in the boat [f]came and worshiped Him, saying, “Truly You are the Son of God.” You see, Peter reached out to Jesus and Jesus saved him. And the distressing situation immediately stopped when they were back on the boat, the foundation of His Word. And it worked out to be a testimony causing them to worship Him. I released a journal on February 16, 2026 called Between My Prayer and His Answer. It’s available at Amazon. This is another way to seek the Lord. When you have a question or a situation you are facing, ask God anything. Write it down in the journal and date it. Then wait on the Lord and watch Him provide you with answers. Record the answer with a date and you will have your own memory of testimonies. Take the time to seek the Lord. Let Him set you free from captivity and let Him invite you into His world. He will save You from all situations and give you peace that surpasses all understanding. 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.
