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

THE MIGHTY ONE IS COMING, HE WILL SAVE US. The objective of this teaching is to exhort believers to remain steadfast, obedient, and grounded in God’s Word as we approach the imminent return of Jesus Christ, the Mighty One who will save us. It seeks to expose the dangers of lukewarm Christianity, warn against the compromises of the Laodicean church, and remind the faithful that only by clinging to the truth of Scripture and the guidance of the Holy Spirit will we be prepared for the Day of the Lord’s wrath and ultimately be gathered into His everlasting kingdom. THE MIGHTY ONE IS COMING, HE WILL SAVE US. Pastor Marcos Marrero Objective: The objective of this teaching is to exhort believers to remain steadfast, obedient, and grounded in God’s Word as we approach the imminent return of Jesus Christ, the Mighty One who will save us. It seeks to expose the dangers of lukewarm Christianity, warn against the compromises of the Laodicean church, and remind the faithful that only by clinging to the truth of Scripture and the guidance of the Holy Spirit will we be prepared for the Day of the Lord’s wrath and ultimately be gathered into His everlasting kingdom. Synopsis: This message, rooted in Zephaniah 3:17, highlights the hope and assurance that Christ—the Mighty One—will soon return to save His people. It explains that the prophetic warnings given to Jerusalem in Zephaniah’s day carry a dual meaning, applying also to the end times and the state of modern Christianity. The text warns of a rebellious and polluted church, paralleling the Laodicean church in Revelation, which stands on its own traditions and wealth rather than the power and correction of the Holy Spirit. Such religious complacency fosters idolatry, compromise with the world, and the preaching of “another Jesus.” The result is a faith that denies the active involvement of God and mocks His promised return. Zephaniah’s prophecy is applied to today’s church, revealing that many leaders have corrupted the sanctuary, polluted worship, and abandoned the authority of God’s Word. Yet, God remains faithful—He is in the midst of His people and continues to call them to repentance, humility, and righteousness. The Day of the Lord is described as imminent, terrifying, and inescapable—a time of wrath, devastation, and judgment from which only the faithful will be rescued. Believers are called to stay true to God’s Word despite ridicule and persecution, resisting the world’s influence and the compromise of lukewarm religion. Finally, the message closes with hope: those who endure will be vindicated. God will restore, gather, and exalt the faithful who sorrow over the condition of the church. In a divine reversal, the very ones who are now shamed for holding firmly to Scripture will be honored and praised among the nations when Christ returns. Inspired Teaching: Zephaniah 3:17 “The Lord your God in your midst, the Mighty One, will save; He will rejoice over you with gladness, He will quiet you with His love, He will rejoice over you with singing.” There has never been a time in the history of the Christian church when so many of the signs that point to the end of times have been revealed, and when so many of the end time prophecies that precede the Lord’s return have been fulfilled. We are not only the generation that will witness the glorious return of our Lord to save us, but we are right in the end of the time that has been allotted to that final generation. The return of our Lord is imminent! It is implied in our opening text that before our Lord returns, that it would be a time of great turbulence and upheaval, for we are told that at His return He will quiet us with His love. Let us take a sober look at how the events that are taking place all around us right now fit within the prophetic scenario that is given before the return of our Lord. Zephaniah 3:1-2 “Woe to her who is rebellious and polluted, to the oppressing city! She has not obeyed His voice, she has not received correction; she has not trusted in the Lord, she has not drawn near to her God.” When Zephaniah first uttered his prophetic words, they were meant as an indictment against the city of Jerusalem and the people of Judah. But it is very clear within the context of his prophecy that there is a double meaning to his prophetic vision that clearly is applicable to what the prophet calls the day of the Lord’s fierce anger, that foretells about the end of time, as we see in the opening verses of his prophetic vision. Zephaniah 1:2-3 “I will utterly consume (make a complete end of) everything from the face of the land, says the Lord; I will consume man and beast; I will consume the birds of the heavens, the fish of the sea, and the stumbling blocks (idols) along with the wicked. I will cut off man from the face of the land (ground), says the Lord.” It is clear from the sweeping judgments against man, beast, sea, ground, air, idols, and the wicked, presented in the opening of this prophecy, that God was clearly foretelling something more than what their present condition required. He was also speaking about the Day of the Lord’s wrath during the time of the latter days, our present day time. So that when He said in the previous verse: Woe to her who is rebellious and polluted about the city of Jerusalem of Zephaniah’s day, that He also had an end time entity in mind as well. It is very possible that the Lord is referring to a large portion of end time Christianity, what He calls in Revelation the Laodicea church. Revelation 3:15-17 “I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I could wish you were cold or hot. So then, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will vomit you out of My mouth. Because you say, I am rich, have become wealthy, and have need of nothing’—and do not know that you are wretched, miserable, poor, blind, and naked.” It is clear from the context that our Lord’s focus is against Christian religious organizations of the end times that seem to be standing in their own merits and traditions, rather than having a continuous need for the Lord to be their entire focus; refusing the correction of the Holy Spirit, and not fully trusting in the Lord as their redeemer, having need of nothing. When a church entity becomes organized to the point that their bylaws and traditions take precedent over the guidance and counsel of the Holy Spirit, that church entity is in rebellion to the will of God for her and by her rebellion becomes polluted; it ceases to be a house of deliverance and becomes a house of oppressing legalism. If we think of the two thousand years church history as training and preparation for an event that will surpass every other event in human history, the coming of the Mighty One, then we can see why it is so important that the church be obedient and prepared, for we do not know how events will unfold before His return, so that we need to be in tune with His Word and with the revelation that the Holy Spirit brings to get us ready to be taken up with Him in a moments notice. Zephaniah 3:4 “Her prophets are insolent, treacherous people; her priests have polluted (profaned) the sanctuary, they have done violence to the law (did not stay true to His Word).” In the book of Revelation, the difference between the Philadelphia church that gets taken up in the rapture, and the Laodicea church that gets left behind, is that the Philadelphia church kept His Word and did not deny the Lord’s name, obviously the Laodicea church had need of none of those things, for it could stand on its own religious merits. Zephaniah 3:5 “The Lord is righteous in her midst, He will do no unrighteousness, every morning He brings His justice to light; He never fails, but the unjust knows no shame.” The Lord makes it very clear that even though the Laodicea church is in disobedience, that it still belongs to Him for He is in her midst, and after all, He promised His church to never leave her nor to forsake her; so if He were to abandon her that would be wrong, and He will do no unrighteousness, even if they continuously flaunt their disobedience in spite of His daily warnings against her, but they seem to know no shame. Who are these people? It is hard for me to reconcile the Christianity that I know with some of the people that are described as Christian ministers during the end of time in many of the end time prophecies. But Zephaniah gives us some great insight that will help us identify who some of these people might be, for they will be sharing some of the same qualities that the prophets and priests of his days had. Zephaniah 1:4-5 “I will stretch out My hand against Judah, and against the inhabitants of Jerusalem (for our present day interpretation this prophecy is against the Laodicea church). I will cut every trace of Baal (the false lord, or the other Jesus that they preach) from this place, (along with) the names of the idolatrous priests (Christian ministers that practice or follow pagan traditions along) with the pagan priests—those who worship the host of heaven on the house tops (astrologers); those who worship and swear oaths by the Lord (clearly referring to Christians), but also swear by Milcom (or Molech, to whom infants were offered as sacrifices during Zephaniah’s time, our present day abortionists).” We can clearly see that in end time Christianity there will be different churches, that to different degrees, will preach another Jesus, along with a different gospel that is influenced by the spirit of paganism, and that many of them will be supporters of abortion rights. And this is what they will acknowledge by their actions, the actions that will eventually bring God’s judgment upon them: Zephaniah 1:6 “Those (these are they that) who have turned back from following the Lord, and have not sought the Lord, nor inquired of Him.” Zephaniah 1:12 “And it shall come to pass at that time that I will search Jerusalem with lamps, and punish the men who are settled in complacency (lukewarmness, the Laodicea church), who say in their heart, ‘The Lord will not do good, nor will He do evil.’” If religion has a goal, it is that of pushing God out to the back so that it, religion, can become the final arbiter in any given matter. In order to do that it has to neutralize God first, to the point where God becomes a bystander, a simple observer, and therefore it falls upon religion the sacred duties of deciding what is right and what is wrong. However, this is what God says is going to happen to religion when the time for God to act finally comes: Zephaniah 1:13 “Therefore their goods shall become booty, and their houses a desolation; they shall build houses, but not inhabit them; they shall plant vineyards, but not drink their wine.” What it finally boils down to is the fact that religion cannot sustain itself in the day of God’s wrath. For the day of God’s wrath is a day when the truth is revealed, and religion is built on a myth, the myth that God is not active in man’s affairs, and that He will not involve Himself in the everyday workings of His creation. This is why the belief that Jesus is coming back soon for His church, to set up His everlasting kingdom, is laughed at by many within the Laodicea church today. But how is this for their wake-up call! Zephaniah 1:14-16 “The great day of the Lord is near; it is near and hastens quickly, the noise of the day of the Lord is bitter; there the mighty men shall cry out. That day is a day of wrath, a day of trouble and distress, a day of devastation and desolation, a day of darkness and gloominess, a day of clouds and thick darkness, a day of trumpet and alarm against the fortified cities and against the high towers.” If I can encapsulate the flavor of what the prophet is telling us, this is how I would do it: That the day of the Lord is COMING SOON! And that the day of the Lord is REAL! And that the day of the Lord if going to be a BAD DAY! The day of the Lord is a day from which we will need to be RESCUED! The only way that a reasonable person, a person that calls himself a believer, cannot understand the clarity with which the Scriptures describes the end of times, is if such a person just decides that God does not mean what he says in His Word. In other words, they do not keep His Word, because if they do they would have to do away with all of their idolatries and man made doctrines. But as usual there is hope for those of us who put our hope in Him, and who trust on the veracity of God’s Word, and not on the corrupted religious traditions of men and demons by which so many unwilling Christians are enslave into their idolatry. Zephaniah 2:3 “Seek the Lord, all you meek of the earth, who have held up His justice (Word). Seek righteousness (not religion), seek humility (realize that we are always in need of Him and His grace). It may be that you will be hidden in the day of the Lord’s anger.” There is a price to pay for being an ardent adherent of God’s Word, there is no doubt about that. We are ridiculed constantly for the fervency with which we believe the inerrancy of Scripture, many a times from our own quarters. We are defamed in many instances, not just by the world, but by Laodicean Christians that believe that our stance against compromise with the world is a hindrance to their version of Christianity being accepted by the world, even though we are clearly warned in Scripture against being loved by the world or us loving the things that the world stands for: 1 John 2:15 “Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in Him.” But you see, once you start denying the parts of Scripture that hinder what it is that you want to accomplish in what you yourself believe, then what is there to keep you from removing anything else from Scripture that does not conform with your relationship with the world? Here is the reason why we need to stay true to the Word of God. This is what God promises those who endure the afflictions of their ridicule and ostracizing for our staying true, in spite of their persecution and defamation, to the Word of God. Zephaniah 3:18-20 “I will gather those who sorrow over the appointed assembly (the condition of the Laodicean church), who are among you, to whom its reproach is a burden. Behold, at that time I will deal with all who afflict you; I will save the lame (those whose ministry was hindered by their slanderous accusations), and gather those who were driven out (kicked out of their churches for exposing their compromise); I will appoint them for praise and fame in every land (place) where they were put to shame. At that time I will bring you back, even at the time I gather you; for I will give you fame and praise among all the peoples of the earth, when I return your captives before your eyes, says the Lord.” Those who compromise the Word of God today, do it to gain the praise and fame of the world, and in a twist of irony, that is exactly what God is going to give to those who refuse to compromise the Word of God today, in the world that is to come.

THE BATTLE (SKIRMISH) & THE WAR The objective of The Battle (Skirmish) & The War is to help believers understand the spiritual distinction between the daily battles they face and the overarching war between God and Satan. It seeks to reveal the biblical foundation for why we are in this war, the importance of choosing God’s side, and how victory is secured through Christ. By connecting Genesis, Revelation, and other key scriptures, the teaching provides clarity, encouragement, and a call to live with awareness, faith, and testimony as conquerors in Christ. THE BATTLE (SKIRMISH) & THE WAR Minister Lisa Kane June 26, 2021 Objective: The objective of The Battle (Skirmish) & The War is to help believers understand the spiritual distinction between the daily battles they face and the overarching war between God and Satan. It seeks to reveal the biblical foundation for why we are in this war, the importance of choosing God’s side, and how victory is secured through Christ. By connecting Genesis, Revelation, and other key scriptures, the teaching provides clarity, encouragement, and a call to live with awareness, faith, and testimony as conquerors in Christ. Synopsis: In The Battle (Skirmish) & The War, Minister Lisa Kane explains that while believers face daily battles—or skirmishes—these are part of a much larger spiritual war. Drawing parallels with history, such as the battle of Gettysburg within the Civil War, she highlights how some battles may seem small, but all play a role in the ultimate outcome. The war itself began in the Garden of Eden, when Lucifer, filled with jealousy over God’s relationship with Adam, sought to undermine humanity in order to wound God. Through Genesis, Lisa clarifies common misconceptions about creation and demonstrates how Adam’s unique relationship with God became a target of Satan’s envy. Lucifer’s deception of Eve reveals the enemy’s strategy: he seeks to separate us from God because he hates the attention and love God lavishes on His children, who are made in His image. This is why humanity is caught in a spiritual war—because Satan attacks what God loves most. Scripture shows that the war’s outcome is already decided: those who stand with God are victorious, for Satan’s ultimate end is the lake of fire (Revelation 20:10). Yet, believers must still engage in daily skirmishes. Minister Lisa emphasizes that victory in these battles comes through the blood of Jesus, the word of our testimony, and living as new creations in Christ (Romans 8:37, Revelation 12:11, 2 Corinthians 5:17). Ultimately, the message calls Christians to choose God, put Him first, and walk in His presence. Each testimony of victory strengthens others, proving that through Christ we are “more than conquerors.” The war is already won, but the battles we fight daily testify of our faith and proclaim God’s triumph over the enemy. Inspired Teaching: I’m sure you understand what the difference between a battle and the war is but just in case, the battle are small skirmishes in the war and the war is the overall event. For example, the battle of Gettysburg was a battle within the Civil War. Some battles affect the outcome of the war and others have little impact but are important, nonetheless. The same is true for a believer. We deal with battles or skirmishes in our everyday lives but we are in an overall war. I asked myself, why are we in a war and what is this war we’re in? Sneak peak, if you’re on God’s side, you win the war. Revelation 20:10 NKJV 10 The devil, who deceived them, was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone where[a] the beast and the false prophet are. And they will be tormented day and night forever and ever. Notice, I said if you’re on God’s side. So far, now we know, we need to choose a side…again, why? Do you know why you’re in this war? It’s likely you don’t and this message will help you understand the larger picture and I hope it changes your paradigm, thinking of what being a Christian means. And it begins in Genesis. Before we continue, I need to clarify ‘confusion’ related to Genesis chapters 1 and 2. There are not two Adam’s and there are not two Eve’s, etc. Chapter 1 is a supply list of what God creates and chapter 2 clarifies what He put into action. Think of it like this…if you plan to build a house, or fix a car, or create a quilt, you need all your supplies before you begin but it doesn’t become a house, or a fixed car, or a quilt until it’s put together or ‘completed’ or ‘finished’. Genesis 2:1 NKJV 2 Thus the heavens and the earth, and all the host of them, were finished. See, He completed ‘creation’ at the end of verse one in chapter 2. That means now that it’s finished, it’s the universe. But notice what the author says in verse 5 chapter 2: Genesis 2:5 NKJV 5 before any plant of the field was in the earth and before any herb of the field had grown. For the Lord God had not caused it to rain on the earth, and there was no man to till the ground; Notice, He created (formed) male and female in chapter 1 but didn’t put him into creation until Genesis 2:7-8. Genesis 1:27 NJKV 27 So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them. Genesis 2:7-8 NKJV 7 And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being.8 The Lord God planted a garden eastward in Eden, and there He put the man whom He had formed. So, one Adam and one Eve. No confusion. Now let’s take a look at ‘why’ we’re in a war. Genesis 2:19-20 continues to show ‘how’ God creates animals and birds. Again, they were formed in chapter 1 and brought to Adam in chapter 2 for naming. Genesis 2:19-20 NKJV 19 Out of the ground the Lord God formed every beast of the field and every bird of the air, and brought them to [a]Adam to see what he would call them. And whatever Adam called each living creature, that was its name. 20 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. There are several mysteries within these two verses that will change your paradigm as a Christian. First, God wants to spend time with Adam. Adam was created in His image. Adam is the only creature that can procreate and produce more in His image. Angels cannot mate with other Angels nor procreate more Angels, and yes, there are female Angels. Zechariah 5:9 NKJV 9 Then I raised my eyes and looked, and there were two women, coming with the wind in their wings; for they had wings like the wings of a stork, and they lifted up the basket between earth and heaven. However, we do know that Angels mated with women on the Earth and produced Giants. Genesis 6:4 NKJV 4 There were [a]giants on the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of men and they bore children to them. Those were the mighty men who were of old, men of renown. It took the human female host to actually produce a being and even then, those beings, the giants were cursed and were not given a soul/spirit. There are some teachings that even think these giants became the demons we deal with today. You can research that on your own. God created us in His image and we’re able to produce more of us in His image. God wanted to spend time with Adam to get to know Him because Adam was unique and had his own personality. Just like you and I have our own personalities. Let me give you an example (scenario) of how this time was spent with Adam. God brought a male and female type of big gray fat things to Adam to name. God asks him, what do you want to call these? Adam says, I’m going to call them elephants because they have trunks. God smiles. Then Adam says, I have a question though. God says, oh, ask. Adam says, in all the previous big creatures, you gave them long strong thick tales to help support them (dinosaurs) and here, you gave the elephants long skinny tales. Why? That gives you an idea of the relationship building up between God and Adam. There’s another mystery you want to know while you’re here. (Rabbit trail…) Romans 6:23 NKJV 23 For the wages of sin is death, but the [a]gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. No sin, no aging. We don’t know Adam’s age here but he remains fully mature during this time because he had not sinned yet. Here’s another mystery and this one tells you ‘why’ we’re in this war. Ezekiel 28:13 NKJV 13 You were in Eden, the garden of God; Every precious stone was your covering: The sardius, topaz, and diamond, Beryl, onyx, and jasper, Sapphire, turquoise, and emerald with gold. The workmanship of your timbrels and pipes Was prepared for you on the day you were created. Look who was in the Garden of Eden, Lucifer. He was the most beautiful creature ever created and I’m sure you’re saying to yourself at this moment, ‘this isn’t a mystery’. We know he was there because he deceived Eve.Theologians will tell you Ezekial 28:13 confirms that the ‘serpent’ was Lucifer but I take it one step further and say that Lucifer was watching God and Adam during this time where it was just the two of them. In fact, he was watching and seething. He was angry. He couldn’t believe that God would give ‘all’ His attention to this worthless, frail creature called a human being – named Adam. He was thinking that God should be giving him His attention and only to him. He wanted God to worship him and it made him angry that He wasn’t. In fact, Lucifer came to the conclusion that he will show God how stupid and frail these human beings can be, which reveals another mystery. Notice Lucifer went after Eve and not Adam. Genesis 3:1 NKJV 3 Now the serpent was more cunning than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. And he said to the woman, “Has God indeed said, ‘You shall not eat of every tree of the garden’? He didn’t touch Adam because Adam spent quality time with God. Hmmm…maybe if you spent quality time with God, Satan wouldn’t touch you?!?! So, Lucifer wanted God to worship him. Instead, God spent time with Adam and built up a relationship because Adam was His son made in His image. When you have your first child, it is absolutely amazing to hold that beautiful baby in your arms. And as they grow, you get to see what type of personality comes out and what type of person that baby becomes. It’s awesome. That’s what God wanted to see with us. He was thrilled and made a place for us to live (Earth) so he could see that, but Lucifer hated God so much that he went after God’s most precious loved commodity – man. That’s why we’re in war. It’s because Satan hates God so much that he believes if he can get you, he will hurt God. John 3:16 NKJV 16 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. Doesn’t John 3:16 mean more to you now that you know why you’re in this war? It’s similar to America getting drawn into WW2 when Japan attacked Pearl Harbor. You were drawn into this war. Notice the issue here – Satan wants to hurt God by making you fail. Do you want to let Satan succeed? Do you really want to hurt God’s feelings? Every battle you face each day can be either a victory or defeat. That’s up to you. God already sent His Son Jesus to ‘redeem’ you with the blood. You have a choice. Romans 8:37 NKJV 37 Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. Revelation 3:21 NKJV 21 To him who overcomes I will grant to sit with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne. Revelation 12:11 NJKV 11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death. How do you be more than a conqueror and/or how do you overcome daily battles/skirmishes? By the word of your testimony. Every battle you win in this war, tells others they can win too. 2 Corinthians 5:17 NKJV 17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new. Here’s the best part. When you make God a priority in your life, (YOUR CHOICE) you become a new creature. That means those old things won’t affect you anymore. You overcame them. That means you have a testimony to share. SHARE IT! 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 from the perilous pestilence. You see, when you put God first, you enter His presence. You seek Him out. You put Him first. That’s saying to Satan, YOU CHOOSE to WORSHIP GOD and not him. HALLELUJAH! Choose God and win the battles. You’ve already won the war. Previous Next Home

THEY WILL MINGLE WITH THE SEED OF MAN The objective of They Will Mingle with the Seed of Man is to explore Daniel 2:43 and its prophetic warning about demonic interference with humanity in the end times. The teaching seeks to explain how spiritual entities—fallen angels and demons—attempted in the days of Noah, and continue today, to corrupt the human race through genetic manipulation, hybridization, and deception. By uncovering biblical, historical, and modern parallels, the lesson warns believers of the urgency of remaining in Christ, whose new creation life preserves them from such tampering and ensures their readiness for His imminent return. THEY WILL MINGLE WITH THE SEED OF MAN Pastor Marcos Marrero Objective: The objective of They Will Mingle with the Seed of Man is to explore Daniel 2:43 and its prophetic warning about demonic interference with humanity in the end times. The teaching seeks to explain how spiritual entities—fallen angels and demons—attempted in the days of Noah, and continue today, to corrupt the human race through genetic manipulation, hybridization, and deception. By uncovering biblical, historical, and modern parallels, the lesson warns believers of the urgency of remaining in Christ, whose new creation life preserves them from such tampering and ensures their readiness for His imminent return. Synopsis: This study begins with Daniel’s prophecy that “they will mingle with the seed of men,” identifying they as non-human spiritual beings seeking to corrupt mankind. The lesson traces this back to Genesis 6, where the “sons of God” (fallen angels) produced hybrids with human women, resulting in the Nephilim. This demonic tampering filled the earth with violence and evil, prompting God’s judgment through the flood. Jesus’ warning that the last days will resemble “the days of Noah” (Matthew 24:37–38) provides the key connection for today. The teaching suggests that just as ancient demons engineered hybrids, modern demonic forces may be working through genetic engineering, technological advances, and even artificial insemination to re-create altered humans fit for their purposes. It highlights disturbing historical examples, including Nazi experimentation, and modern genetic research that could one day strip away humanity’s God-given conscience. The teaching connects these developments with biblical prophecy concerning the mark of the beast, which will permanently alter human nature and sear the conscience, making redemption impossible. Yet it emphasizes hope: those who are in Christ are already “a new creation” (2 Corinthians 5:17), sealed from corruption by His blood. The study concludes with a strong call to readiness, urging believers to remain steadfast, for the signs point to the nearness of Christ’s return and the end of all demonic interference with mankind. Inspired Teaching: Daniel 2:43 “As you saw iron mixed with ceramic clay, they will mingle with the seed of men; but they will not adhere to one another, just as iron does not mix with clay.” In this fascinating verse from Daniel’s writings we are presented with an end time mystery that has baffled many theologians for centuries; who did Daniel mean by they will mingle, when speaking about creatures that will be interacting with the humans that will be alive during the times of the end? They, within the context, seems to imply creatures of non-human origin, since the seed of man is a phrase that its used to represent the entire human race, literally it is saying that, they, non-humans will mingle with humans, or try to mingle, for Daniel says that they will not succeed. What other non-human creatures are there that have intelligence, personality, a desire for human likeness, and interact with the human race in a regular basis? Demonic entities! Since the days of the fall of Adam, the devil has been working hard to change the human race, his aim is to reengineer humans to be earthly vehicles that his demonic hordes can use to conquer and rule the earth with; since demons are spirits and the earth’s environment requires a physical body to operate within it, the demons cannot physically conquer our tangibly based human realm unless they possess a physical body. Genesis 6:4-5 “There were giants (nephillim, which means fallen or fallen mighty ones) on the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of God (a reference to non-human spiritual creatures, angels or demons) came into the daughters of men and they bore children to them. Those were the mighty men who were of old, men of renown (famous for their supernatural abilities). Then the Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.” We see that before the days of Noah the devil was hard at work in his endeavor to rule and govern the earth through hybrids who were void of conscience, and endowed with superhuman abilities, ruthless, and hell bent on the subjugation and destruction of the entire human race. If we want to know how that scenario applies to us today, then we need to understand what took place back them, because as Jesus tells us: Matthew 24:37-38 “But as the days of Noah were, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be. 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.” Basically, Jesus is telling us that if we want to understand how the end of our present age is going to come about, we can read about the conditions that prevailed during the prelude to the flood, and draw a comparison with the conditions that will exist in the earth before He returns to once and for all put an end to all demonic tampering with the human race. When the sons of God came into the daughters of men and they bore children to them. The sons of God is a reference to non-human spiritual creatures, that can be applied to angels or demons. Just like the phrase, the seed of men is a phrase that applies to the entire human race, good or bad. Our first problem that we need to solve is that these spiritual creatures came into the daughters of men and they bore children to them. So here we have what our opening Scripture was describing, they will mingle with the seed of men. Our problem has to do with the mechanics of how does a spiritual creature that does not have a physical body impregnates a physical human woman? One possibility is that, since spirits can transform themselves and take a human form, for we know from the Bible that God’s holy angels have that ability, that somehow, that is how those women were impregnated. Reason does not allow me to believe that, for if that were the case, then the fallen angels wouldn’t need physical bodies to exercise their rule over our physical realm, they could just take any shape they desire and be done with it, I mean, if they can transformed themselves into a physical body that can get a woman pregnant, then they could kill any body they wanted to, for if they can produce life, they can also take it. Matthew 22:30 “For in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels of God in heaven.” Jesus makes it clear that once we are resurrected from the dead, even with our new physical bodies, we will not have the ability to reproduce, for our new physically eternal bodies will be like that of the angels that do not reproduce. If you are a spiritual entity without the capability to reproduce physically, how do you get a woman pregnant with your own seed? My best guess is, through artificial insemination. Genesis 6:2 “That the sons of God saw the daughters of men, that they were beautiful (good, a good, good thing); and they took wives for themselves of all whom they chose.” In the original Hebrew in the Strong’s concordance, the word translated beautiful comes from # 2896 and it means, good, a good, or good thing. From our male human perspective a woman is a good thing for us, that is if we want to fulfill our desires for a compatible mate that will help us, not only to procreate, but to be our companion for the rest of our lives. From a fallen son of God perspective, a good woman means nothing more than a suitable womb that will allowed them to fertilize it with altered genetic human genes, where they can engineer human physical bodies suitable for their demonic host. You may say that such technical knowledge was not available back them, where do you think our present technological advances in genetic engineering came from? Hitler and his occult obsessed inner circle! The same demons that drove men of old to assist them in recreating the human race after their demonic likeness before the flood, are the very same demons that drove Hitler’s scientists into the great many technological advancements of the twentieth century. One of the dirty little secrets that present day scientists do not want you to know is, that all the research (genetic manipulation) that Hitler’s doctors performed on pregnant women in those concentration camps, especially woman that were pregnant with twins, were the very foundation for many if not all of our present day medical breakthroughs. We are living in the last generation, just like it was before the flood of Noah’s day, they, demonic angels, are busy at preparing for themselves physical human bodies that they can indwell and take over with and rule with their out of this world abilities, you see the obsession in the movies with these super heroes everywhere today. Now Daniel tells us that they will not succeed, but you know that that is not stopping them from trying, and by understanding what is going on, it helps us to understand that we are living in the end of the age. The reason why it will not work is because, they do not have enough time today in a woman’s life span to perfect the monsters that they created in days past. I believe that since women lived life spans of over nine hundred years back then, they were able to impregnate a woman over and over again, each time with a new genetic modification based on what her last offspring lacked. It is believed that this went on for hundreds of years, you add to that the probability of cross breading and you can create almost any monster with the qualifications that you want. Secular human history is full of depictions of the many horrendous creatures that they were able to create, many of them were part animal part human, but their goal was to create physical entities that lacked a conscience, for that is the part of the human soul that allows humans to turn away from their evil ways. Evidently they succeeded for we are told that: Then the Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. The sons of God are spiritual creatures, that means that they are made of air or breath, that is how they indwelled the physical monsters that they created and the physical humans that enabled them. The flood was designed to drown all the contaminated creatures, to rid the earth of these wicked spirits that had found a way to manipulate humankind, and through them to contaminate the entire earth. The longevity of the human race was, I believe, shorten for this very purpose, to prevent them from having the time that was needed for them to perfect these monsters again. To overcome this deficit, the demonic realm is counting on computer technology that will allow them to run all the possible mutations within a computer program, before they introduce their perfected models once again. I believe that this is already taking place in secret laboratories around the world both in humans and animals. One of the signs to look for is that of mutated animals that somehow escaped those places where they were genetically engineered, these mutations are been found more and more often. Many of them are dead, but some are found living in the wild somewhere, any attempt to identify such mutated creatures is quickly done away with and the evidence promptly disappears from public records. Since their, these demonic entities aim, is to contaminate every human on the face of the earth, just like they did in the days of Noah, a computerized network is needed to categorize and analyze as much physical human data as possible. In the last decade we have seen not only the mapping of the human genome, but extensive research into the genetic composition of humans all around the world, including people from remove tribes that live in isolated places. Their greatest achievement will not come out of the monsters that they are so feverishly trying to engineer, but out of their current genetic research, that I believe will allow them to change the genetic human gene that allows our conscience to know right from wrong, once you remove that, like they did during the days of Noah, humanity becomes worthless to God. 1 Timothy 4:1-2 “Now the Spirit expressly says that in latter times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons, speaking lies in hypocrisy, having their own conscience seared with a hot iron.” When the mark of the beast is introduced, it will be physically branded on the right hand, or on the forehead, this mark will bear the name, or nature of the beast, and the number of his name, his genetic code. That is why those who receive the mark of the beast can never be redeemed, for their consciences will be seared for ever with a demonic genetic code that removes their conscience, their ability to repent. That is what is being perfected right now, that is how close we are to the return of Jesus, for if He doesn't come back soon, the entire human race will be doomed. Genesis 7:1 “Then the Lord said to Noah, ‘Come into the ark, you and your household, because I have seen that you are righteous before Me in this generation.’” Those of us who are covered by the blood of Jesus have been genetically altered, for we are a new creation, our old genes have passed away. 2 Corinthians 5:17 “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away, behold, all things have become new.” That is why the antichrist cannot be revealed until we are removed, for once we become born again the devil cannot tamper with our new nature, for it is Christ’s nature, the image of the last Adam that will finally be completed on resurrection day. Friends that is how close we are, by all means make yourself ready, for your sake and for the sake of your household. Previous Next Home

Praise ye the Lord.” Father God, I bless the leaders of the world, dominions, powers, principalities, kingdoms, royalty, kings, queens, princes, princesses, presidents, prime ministers, and the like, with open ears, eyes, hearts, and minds to see, hear, receive, and believe the living Word of God because you state in Mark 4:12 KJV “12 That seeing they may see, and not perceive; and hearing they may hear, and not understand; lest at any time they should be converted, and their sins should be forgiven them.” I pray in hope that they see and perceive, hear and understand so they would believe in Jesus the Son of the living God! And Heavenly Father, I bless the leaders of the world, dominions, powers, principalities, kingdoms, royalty, kings, queens, princes, princesses, presidents, prime ministers, and the like, with softened hearts to be able to perceive and live by Your Word because even you showed the disciples how hard their hearts were when they didn’t believe when You rose from the dead: Mark 16:14 KJV “14 Afterward he appeared unto the eleven as they sat at meat, and upbraided them with their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they believed not them which had seen him after he was risen.” I also bless the leaders of the world, dominions, powers, principalities, kingdoms, royalty, kings, queens, princes, princesses, presidents, prime ministers, and the like, with a spirit of reconciliation because that is the ministry You have given us. Let the spirit of God move forth in the hearts of the leadership around the world to forgive and reconcile their areas back to Jesus, the Son of God as Paul states in 2 Corinthians 5:18-19 KJV “18 And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation; 19 To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.” I pray that the leaders of the world, dominions, powers, principalities, kingdoms, royalty, kings, queens, princes, princesses, presidents, prime ministers, and the like are restored into the joy of salvation, and to the paths of righteousness as the following scriptures state: Psalm 23:3 KJV “He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.” Psalm 51:12 KJV “Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free spirit.” I pray that the fruit of the spirit stated in Galatians 5:22-23 KJV “22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, 23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law” manifests within the hearts of the leaders of the world, dominions, powers, principalities, kingdoms, royalty, kings, queens, princes, princesses, presidents, prime ministers, and the like.

And gracious Heavenly Father, we praise You as Psalm 150:1-6 KJV says “150 Praise ye the Lord. Praise God in his sanctuary: praise him in the firmament of his power. 2 Praise him for his mighty acts: praise him according to his excellent greatness. 3 Praise him with the sound of the trumpet: praise him with the psaltery and harp. 4 Praise him with the timbrel and dance: praise him with stringed instruments and organs. 5 Praise him upon the loud cymbals: praise him upon the high sounding cymbals. 6 Let every thing that hath breath praise the Lord. Praise ye the Lord.” You are praised because You are. We now walk forward in peace knowing that You and Your angels are moving behind the scenes doing what You need to do to accomplish Your will as Psalm 103:20 KJV says “20 Bless the Lord, ye his angels, that excel in strength, that do his commandments, hearkening unto the voice of his word.” In the Name of Jesus, the Son of the living God we pray in unity, Amen!PRAY FOR LEADERSHIP PRAY FOR LEADERSHIP PRAY LEADERSHIP Say this prayer out loud: Mighty Heavenly Father, I lift up to Your throne room the leaders of the world, dominions, powers, principalities, kingdoms, royalty, kings, queens, princes, princesses, presidents, prime ministers, and the like, and I forgive them of their iniquities, the sins they have committed, the curses against them, the curses spoken from them, and the sins of the land they walk on; and I ask You heavenly Father to forgive them as well per Matthew 6:14 KJV “14 For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you:” Demons, loose the leaders of the world, dominions, powers, principalities, kingdoms, royalty, kings, queens, princes, princesses, presidents, prime ministers, and the like; the Lord rebuke you per Jude 1:9 “9 Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil he disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing accusation, but said, The Lord rebuke thee.” I bind you with fetters of iron to the iron below my feet here on earth preventing you from interfering in the leaders of the world, dominions, powers, principalities, kingdoms, royalty, kings, queens, princes, princesses, presidents, prime ministers, and the like, ever again per Matthew 16:19 KJV “19 And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.” And per Psalm 149:6-9 KJV “6 Let the high praises of God be in their mouth, and a two-edged sword in their hand; 7 To execute vengeance upon the heathen, and punishments upon the people; 8 To bind their kings with chains, and their nobles with fetters of iron; 9 To execute upon them the judgment written: this honour have all his saints.

CLEANSING INIQUITY The objective of this message is to teach believers how to confront, repent of, and be cleansed from iniquity through humility, lamentation, and acknowledgment before God. Using Psalm 51 as the foundation, the message emphasizes that true deliverance comes not from outward sacrifices, but from a broken and contrite heart that seeks God’s forgiveness and restoration. < Back CLEANSING INIQUITY Minister Lisa Kane November 3, 2023 Objective: The objective of this message is to teach believers how to confront, repent of, and be cleansed from iniquity through humility, lamentation, and acknowledgment before God. Using Psalm 51 as the foundation, the message emphasizes that true deliverance comes not from outward sacrifices, but from a broken and contrite heart that seeks God’s forgiveness and restoration. Synopsis: In Cleansing Iniquity, Minister Lisa Kane explores the deep spiritual process of repentance and purification through David’s prayer in Psalm 51, written after his sin with Bathsheba and the death of Uriah. The message highlights how sin not only impacts the individual but also carries generational consequences. David’s brokenness before God serves as a model for believers: he cries out, acknowledges his sin, and surrenders his heart fully to the Lord. Lisa teaches that cleansing iniquity requires crying out to God, allowing Him to “wash” and “agitate” the hidden parts of the soul, and acknowledging both personal and generational sins. She explains the spiritual “courtroom” where Satan accuses, but Jesus stands as our advocate, granting forgiveness when we repent. Through David’s transformation from guilt to restored joy, we see how God desires a contrite heart rather than ritual sacrifice. The message closes by affirming that no sin is too great for God’s cleansing—whether murder, adultery, bitterness, or addiction. When we humble ourselves, lament, and seek God’s presence, He restores joy, liberty, and deliverance. Believers are then called to testify and teach others how to return to God, turning brokenness into praise. Inspired Teaching: Hello and welcome to the House of Faith Ministries. I'm Lisa Kane. I'm recording this on Friday, November 3rd, 2023. Welcome. This message is called Cleansing Iniquity. Let's open up in a word of prayer. Father God, we thank you for your word. We thank you for your presence and your glory upon us. Father God, we thank you for teaching us your word. We teach we thank you for teaching us how to be cleansed and purified before you, how to humble ourselves, how to lament and cry out to you. Father God, we thank you for your living word and we thank you for everything you're doing and preparing us for these marvelous end times that are taking place. In the wonderful, glorious name of Jesus, we pray. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. This message is called Cleansing Iniquity. We have been talking about deliverance now for a handful of weeks and I'm going to continue in that direction as long as the Lord continues to um send me in that direction. So, what I'm going to be teaching on is Psalm 51. So, if you want to get your Bibles open and get ready for that, we're going to be looking at verses 1-1 17 in detail. I want to do what I've been doing where I bold the word and in parentheses next to it in italicize I put in other words that the bolded word could have been translated into giving you more of a deeper meaning as to what that the original script was meant for us in the name of Jesus. Amen. So, I hope you are blessed by this. Um I got my tissue next to me. You're going to want to have some tissue next to you on this one. So, let's go to uh the beginning here. Um Psalm 51 1-17. So, let me lay down a background. At the top of the New King James Version, it does say to the chief musician of Psalm of David, when Nathan the prophet came unto him after he had gone into Ba Sheba, which is Uriah's wife. So, let me explain why David wrote this psalm because this is very, very powerful. So David was supposed to be in military with his men and he was home in luxury relaxing while his men fought for him. While he was looking out out on his balcony or wherever he was, he looked down and he sees Bath Sheba bathing on the rooftop. And uh basically he falls for her. He um she's married, but they have an affair. She gets pregnant. So, David decides to have Uriah come back from the battleground so that he can sleep with his wife. But Uriah is a man of God, a righteous man. He is um he has good morals about him. In other words, is what I'm trying to say here. He wanted to sleep in the barracks, not with his wife because his men, his um partners in the battlefield. They weren't in luxury and he didn't want to give himself a night of luxury and rest that they had. He wanted he was in battle and he was wanting to stay in battle. So David's plan that he thought he'd pawn off his own son under Uriah and Beth Sheba's um relationship didn't go well. So Uriah is given a letter by David and Uriah takes that letter and gives it to his commander. Doesn't read it. And the ba basically the letter tells the commander to put Uriah in the most difficult thicket battle you can ever be in. And Uriah goes in there and he's killed. Okay. So in essence, David killed Uriah. So he takes Basheba as his wife and she carries the baby. The baby is born, but the baby is born sick. So David, two things happens to him. Nathan the prophet comes to him and tells him about this guy who took this one sheep from this one person. And David's like, "Who is that? We got to stop him." And Nathan says, "That's you. That's what you did to Bath Sheba and Uriah." And David broke. You see, he had a sin in front of him now and it was exposed. No more in secret. So, he broke. On top of it, the baby is sick. And David, he's he's lamenting before the Lord. He's crying to the Lord. He's wearing um you know, he's torn his clothes. He's wearing sackcloth. He's got ash over him. He is sobbing for the Lord to heal and restore the little one, the baby, his son, and God allowed the baby to die and took the baby home. Want you to understand several things here. One is that your sin has consequences not just to you but to those around you. So if you are here, your grandparents, your your your parents, your grandparents, your great-grandparents, all their sins came on you. Your sins go to your children, your grandchildren, and your great-grandchildren. They're all connected for generations, back and forward. And this is what you see here with David. His son was affected. And if you wonder sometimes why babies die earlier early or as a baby, this is one reason. There are several reasons. God God is in control. We may not understand it, but we need to be in obedience about it. One of the things that David did here that did he showed after he realized, you know, the baby's dead. There's nothing he can do about it. He cleans himself up, asked for some food, and he transforms himself completely. He's just back to normal. And I mean the servants were worried about him. They thought, "Man, this guy's breaking. He's lost. He's he's done for." And they were scared because they see this radical transformation. And David realizes what's going on and he says to them, "I was hoping God would leave the child with me, but he didn't. He took him. The child's not coming back to me, but I will be going to the child. You see, David understood that God has the children in the palm of his hands. All the children are taken care of, they are under the age of accountability. And as long as they're under that age, God takes care of them for whatever reason. Okay? So here, God chose to show David your sin did this. And and here's the thing. David's a king. This did not have to be written in the books. It might have been in the Chronicles. If you understand the way the scriptures are written, you got 1 Samuel, 2 Samuel, 1 Chronicles, 2 Chronicles, 1 Kings, 2 Kings. Chronicles is written from God's point of view. Would have probably been written in Chronicles. But it might not have been in Kings if David didn't want to have this exposed. It was up to David. But David had this written down and documented for a reason, so that you and I could see the consequence of sin, iniquity, which is what we're going to be dealing with in this message. So, David allowed this to go forth. He humbled himself before the Lord. Um, and even though he lost his child, he realized God still healed him. God delivered him, cleansed him, and purified him of being a murderer and an adulterer. That is absolutely incredible. So whatever sin or iniquity that you have in your life, whether is bound by drugs, whether you killed someone, whether you cursed someone thinking they should be dead and you told the world they should be dead, anything like that, that's a sin. That's an iniquity that you have in you and that causes consequences to occur in your life and those around you. Those need to be taken care of if you want to break forth and go forward. You got to break them forth in the generational line to your grand great-grandparents and to your great grandchildren. Even if they're not born yet, you want to deal with that now because God is the God of today. Which that means he was a God of today yesterday. He's a God of today tomorrow. it. Timing here is in the spirit, not the physical. So I want you to understand that as we delve into this. So you can see now David writes this psalm in this situation that he dealt with and he humbled himself before the Lord. And that is what I'm going to teach on is cleansing the iniquity. All right, let's go to verse one. He says, "Have mercy upon me, oh God, according to thy loving kindness, according unto the multitude of thy tender mercies, blot out my transgressions." Okay, now let's look at it with all the extra translations. It could have been translated as, "Bend or stoop in kindness to me, oh God, according to your piety and favor, according to the multitude of thy compassions, erase my revolt and rebellion." David cried out to God. That's the first thing you want to do when you're dealing with iniquity and you want to cleanse it. You cry out to God. Second, look at verse two. Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity and cleanse me from my sin. Now, when you cry out to God, what are you saying? Okay, let's look at it in other the other words. Trample stamping with feet. The reason that word wash is translated with that other translation because in the past they didn't have washing machines. They had to trample on the clothes, hit them against the rocks. Current washing machines today. Agitate things. That is what David's asking God to do to agitate him. By the way, when you're cleansing iniquity, you're going to see agitation. Irritable. People get irritated because they're being trampled and stomped on by the Holy Spirit. Oh, so look at this in more detail. Trample, stamp, stomp me with your feet thoroughly from my perversity, my fault, my evilness. Make me bright and pure from my offense or habitual sin. You see, this is what David is crying out. He's saying, "Lord Jesus, I need you to agitate me. I need you to make me bright and pure again. and I need you to re-establish me. I need you. And he's saying out of offense, he's saying evil fault. That word there, iniquity, is a fault. Let me explain this part to you. This is very, very important that you understand this. There is God and he is in his courtroom. There is Jesus right next to him. The devil is over here, the accuser. He's on the other platform and he's accusing you of everything and he has the right to do that. But Jesus is saying, "Well, I'm going to forgive you of your iniquity if you repent." David is repenting. So, you can picture David standing there and Jesus who hadn't died on the cross yet. That's okay because this is his great greatgrandfather. And remember, God is a God of today, which meant he was a God of today, yesterday. He's a God of today, tomorrow. So, there's Jesus with David before God. And Jesus says, "I forgive him." God says, "Okay, he's forgiven." And he washes it off. And the devil's he's trying to accuse you. Guess what, though? God made it possible for us to be redeemed of our iniquity. We do not have to live with that iniquity. Let it break us, but let us get rid of that grief. Let us lament it out, whail it out as David did. He cried out to God and he is going to acknowledge this. He's saying what I need is your cleansing, your purification. So this is the beginning. He cried out to God and then he's saying saying, "God, I need you." That's with his cry and I need you to purify me. That's part of his crying out. And you see he's at that throne room. He boldly went to the throne room. Angels are there. Devils are there. The God is there. Jesus is there. and he's saying, "Help me to the throne room of God." And Jesus says, "I got you." But now, let's look and see what David also does because it's very important because we're dealing with iniquity. I want you to see the whole transaction that takes place in this courtroom of God. So, here he says, "For I acknowledge my transgressions and my sin is ever before me." This is so powerful. David is saying, "Look, I see what I did. I'm messed up." Look at how he says it. He says, "I recognize my rebellion, my revolt, and my sin is ever before me." He's not going to forget what he did. He's not going to forget the son that he had out of that because he's looking forward now to seeing his son in the future. But he sees this sin. Look what else he does. Because he's acknowledging. So there's a cry out. There's an acknowledgment. Now he's saying, "But I acknowledge against thee. Thee only have I sinned and done this evil in thy sight, that thou might just be justified when thou speakest and be clear when thou judges." As you can see, we are in a courtroom. The devil has accused and rightfully so. And God is saying, "Yep, you've done that." But Jesus comes in and he says, "I forgive him." And God says, "Yep, okay, blot it out. That sin is forgiven. It's no longer here. I can't, you know, I see the blood of Jesus now. I don't see the sin. That's what God does." And the devil's like, "You can't do that." This is the This is the way that God has designed for you and I to be saved today. This is what is called grace. This is why we need to repent to Jesus. This is why we need to get to his throne room. We need to get to the courtroom and we need to say sorry. And look what uh is going on here. He says, "I'm recognizing my rebellion." Because see he that's you know he rebelled against God when he was standing on that rooftop looking down at Basheba instead of being where he was supposed to be. He was supposed to be with his military and he wasn't. He rebelled. You see how simple of rebellion could be? I'm going to take tonight off and I'm not going to do anything. I'm going to have just a night to myself. I'm not going to pray. I'm not going to do anything. Okay, I'm going to turn on the the TV and rebellion, revolt. Yes, you're guilty of that. And that sin is right there. But he took it that further. He actually acted on the sin and then he because he had adulter and then he murdered the guy. Poor Uriah. You know, I really feel sorry for this man who's served his king. This is a sin. This is an iniquity that David did against another person, but God. This is why you and I can take all of our iniquities and lay him at the throne room, acknowledge them, and cry out to God, lament, let it go, and ask Jesus to forgive. Let's continue on. And notice he did this against God. He sinned against God because see he knew where he was supposed to be and all of the other stuff, the murder and the adultery was a consequence of him rebelling against God. He did it against God. And look at he says, "I did this against you and you only." And look at that. He only means part of the body, the branch of a tree. You see, we are part of God. He is our father. We are an inheritor, an adopted inheritor of his kingdom. We are brothers and sisters with Jesus. David is a family member of that. We are part of this family. And he says to God, "You're my father and I sinned against you and you only and I did this calamity in your sight." And so you're right. You're justified. You're right when you say you arrange this courtroom the way it is and you judge me and you pronounce sentence. You have the right to judge me and convict me and find me guilty because I am guilty as charge. Look what else he says though. This is David going even further because now we're going to be dealing with the generational things. Watch this. He says, "Behold, I was shapen in iniquity and in sin did my mother conceive me." He went all the way to his conception. At the moment of conception, every human being is born in sin because of what Adam and Eve did. Who were born into a curse automatically at conception. It is the grace of God that saves each and every one of us. So he's saying, listen, I was shaping as I grew up after being born. I was twisted and whirled in iniquity, in perversity, fault and sin. And I committed crimes and I have penalties against me because of my mother and what she did. But it goes back to her mother, her mother, father, father, all the way to Adam and Eve. So he's saying, "Okay, Father God, I'm acknowledging my sin. I sinned against you. I'm crying out to you and I'm going all the way back to Adam and Eve with my lament." Because he is broken. He is crying. He's seeing his iniquity. Watch. Watch how he sees his behold thou desire. I'm going to get to the part where he God, you're going to see him broken here in a moment, but look at what he says here. Behold, thou desireest truth in the inward parts and in the hidden part, thou shalt make me to know wisdom. Now, he's going to the deep utter part of his inward parts of his body. This is where things are going to break. He's saying, "I need these inward parts fixed." Look what he says. You desirous, you inclined, you delight in the truth, which is the stability, the certainty in the inward parts. He wants truth, certainty in our inward parts. He wants that inside. You desire that, Lord Jesus. You desire that. You're in the hidden area. You're repairing and you're keeping the hidden areas secret, but you're there because you desire to be there. You're inclining to look. Oh, look in. Let me look inside of you. This is God looking inside of you. Get that? He sees what's going on inside. And he says, "But you shall make me to know wisdom." You see, David is finally acknowledging you need to be inside here and let your wisdom come out of me. Let me know your wisdom because I need you. I need you. I'm messed up. And look at now he's saying, "Purge me with his thought and I shall be clean." You know, when he says, "I shall be clean," he is acknowledging God cleansing him already. Even though he is asking, he's acknowledging the cleansing already. And he says, "I shall be clean. Wash me. I shall be whiter than snow." Look at that word purge to miss, forfeit, repent me with hissop. Turn me around. Use your hissop to turn me around. That's the blood on the branch. Use the blood. Turn me around and I'll be bright and pure. There's that wash again. Agitate me. I'll be whiter than snow. Get me cleansed. He's saying, I need this. And he's saying to the deeper inward parts, do this. Look what else. Make me to hear intelligently, attentively, obedient, to joy and gladness, that the bones which thou hast broken may rejoice. See, he's acknowledging on the inside, my bones broke. They collapsed and I'm unable to hold myself up. He is weeping. He is lamenting so hard he cannot get back up. And he's calling it as bones broken in the spirit because he can't get up. But he's saying, "I want to hear cheerfulness, glee, gladness, because if I hear that, and if I'm obedient to that, and I'm attentive to that, my bones will have rejoice, they'll be able to stand on their own and spin around." That's what the word rejoice means. So, he is saying in the future, he is prophesying over himself, you're cleaning me. You're restoring the collapsed bones. I'm gonna have joy and I'm gonna have cheerfulness in me. Gladness, gladness and joy in me. It's all going to turn around and I'm going to be able to rejoice in the name of Jesus, the son of God. Oh, here's where you know he broke. Look at what he says here. Hide thy face from my sins. Cover your face. Don't look at this. I messed up. That's horrible. That's my crime. Hide your face. Don't look at that. Blotted out all my iniquities. Wipe it all out. This is him. This is the deep part of him saying, "Lord, don't look at that. I messed up. That's horrible." Then he says, "Create in me a clean heart, oh God, and renew a right spirit within me." Look at this. Create in me a pure, fair heart, oh God, and rebuild a right spirit in me. Rebuild me from the inward parts. And then he goes on to say, don't throw me away. Cast me not away from your presence, from your face, and take your not thy holy spirit from me. So stay with me. Don't look at this sin, but stay with me. I need you to stay with me. I need you to help me. I need you to help me. Don't look at my sin, but you look you just stay with me. Just don't look. Cover your eyes. Cover your face, but don't let me go. And he says, "Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation and uphold me with thy free spirit." He says, "Turn back. Turn back the joy to me of your salvation." That word salvation is deliverance, prosperity, liberty, safety. Why does that word deliverance mean all these things? Because we can do iniquity and sin to finances, not just sexual immorality, witchcraft. We could do some sort of iniquity to murder, lie, cheat, hating someone, bitterness. All of these things we can be delivered from with what you see David doing here. He says, "Turn back unto me that joy. Turn back unto me the joy of your deliverance, the joy of your prosperity, the joy of your liberty, liberty, the joy of safety." If you're in an immediate situation where you're not saved, Jesus save me. The moment you do that, you're saying, "Jesus, turn your safety back into me." And so, David is saying, "I understand I messed up here, and I'm asking your joy to come back into my heart of your salvation, of your deliverance, with, and look at this, with thy noble and reputable spirit, the free Holy Spirit." He says, "You are pure. You are noble. you are. I'm asking for your free spirit to be within me for the deliverance and the healing that I need from this iniquity that I committed. Then I then will I teach transgressors, sinners, that means thy ways, course of life. That's what that word ways mean. And sinners, criminals, and those that are guilty shall be converted unto thee. Here he is prophesying again. So he's saying now, Lord, cleanse me, heal me, bring back your salvation, deliver me, liberate me from what I did because I was guilty of it. And he's saying, I'm going to teach others how to do this so they can convert and turn back from their ways and get before the Lord. This is why David wrote it in the Kings. This is why David wrote it in the Psalms. This is why he shared what he did in his life. Even though it was a humiliating event, he lost a child as a result of this. But God taught David how to humble himself and be obedient to him. David chose God in spite of his iniquity. Oh my word, that is so powerful. He's going to teach them and they shall be converted back unto him. Oh, that is so holy. That is so awesome. That is incredible. Look at this. Snatch away me from blood guiltiness. Listen to this. That word blood guiltiness means when shed causes death. Meaning the shedding of blood causes someone to die. Well, Uriah bled to death. I don't know how he died on the field. I I just know that he died and I don't know if it was blunging, stabbed, I don't know, but he bled to death on that field. Um, and the reason I don't know is I haven't gone back and read it. There's some homework here. Go do go read this. Look up Uriah and look him up. Read him in this the Psalms. Excuse me. Yeah, read him in the Psalms. I think he's written in Psalms. Read him in the Chronicles, the Kings and 1 and 2 Samuel. I'm sure he's all in there. Read about him. Um, if he's not in the Samuels, he'll be in the uh Kings and the Chronicles for sure. But read about what David did here. Because I want you to understand when he says, "Deliver me from blood guiltiness. Snatch me away from that." Because there is a consequence to when you cause cause someone to bleed. And I want you to understand something. He caused someone to bleed to death in the physical. But your words could be causing somebody to die in the spiritual. If it is your responsibility to be praying for someone and they don't get healed because you're not praying for them, they they bled into death. this blood guiltiness is on your soul. This is why sometimes we don't see the power of God moving in certain people's lives. It's because they need to turn back from the iniquity of what they did. You know, I I recently have changed up my prayer life. First thing I said, Lord, I'm sorry. I wasn't praying like this initially. Yes, I prayed. Yes, I served God, but I wasn't praying like this. He's teaching me and I've been learning. So, I was doing it in ignorance, but I still apologize. It's called obedience because I want to make certain that when I go before the Lord and I'm praying these prayers that the devil ain't over here accusing me over and over again because God and Jesus has forgiven me, purified me, made me bright, and cleansed me because I went to the Lord and asked him to forgive the iniquity he found in me. And I forgave the iniquity, too. And whatever I forgive, he forgives. Oh, and and you can see that in the last few messages I just taught. Then he says, "Oh God, thou God and my salvation, my rescue. My tongue shall sing aloud. Shout of thy righteousness. Shout of thy justice." Now he can say, "Hey, devil, look what God did to me. Neer, neer." He could do this. He has a right to do it. He could do it to everybody else in the world. See what God did to me? He could do that to you, too. Let me show you. You see, now you have the right to do that in the name of Jesus, the son of God. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. And then he says, "Oh Lord, open wide. Open my lips and my mouth shall show forth thy praise." He's going to bring it to the front the ludation of God. Look what he did. He forgave me of my iniquities. Oh, hallelujah. And then he goes back to saying, we're not done. We're in verse 16. For thou desireest not sacrifice, else would I give it. Thou delightest not in burnt offering. You see, David was living under burnt offerings and sacrifices at this time under the law. But he's recognizing that the law wasn't going to cleanse him here. The law doesn't cleanse you of iniquity. The law finds you guilty. But David said, "No, that's not what you want, Lord. I know you don't want that." He says, "What you want are the sacrifices of God are a broken or burst spirit, a broken and contrite or a collapsed heart. Oh God, thou will not despise or disdain that." You see, he wants your soul to lament, to break. When David said, "Don't look at my sin right in front of me, Father God. Cover your face." He broke. And when he broke, that's the sacrifice God desires. Yes, God desires your sacrifices of a broken, contrite, or collapsed heart. But notice, he asked the Holy Spirit to prop him up because that propped up heart is before the Lord because he he couldn't hold it up. Remember, he was broken. Good. Let's go back. uh restore, turn back into me the joy of thy salvation, deliverance, prosperity, liberty, safety, and uphold, prop, take hold of me with thy free, noble spirit. Prop me up, Lord, because my bones were broke. My heart collapsed. And God is saying, I will because that's what I desire. You have that broken spirit. Come with me. I'm going to lift you up. I'm going to prop you up. And then David was asking for the restoration of joy and gladness back into his heart because with that he can stand up on those broken bones, not feel the pain and rejoice because the Lord restored him. And the devil can't accuse him anymore of that iniquity and that sin that was found within him. Oh, hallelujah. This is a point in your life where you can choose to have your iniquity forgiven. And all it takes is cry out to God. Say, "I'm sorry, Lord. I did this and I did this against you and you only. I'm sorry. Acknowledge what you did. I did this, Father God. I cannot believe I not only rebelled and revolted against you by taking a slippery slope step, I slipped and fell and I made it worse by bringing a child into the life or whatever the situation is that you're dealing with. I made it worse. Let's think of it like drugs. I make it worse every time I take more than I did the day before because you're not feeling it as much. You are revolting and rebelling against God because God has asked us to have our bodies align our minds sober. So to have a sober mind before the Lord means you cannot have drugs. But you can go and ask God to forgive you of that rebellion, of that revolt. He can forgive that. not only forgive them, but reestablish you. You don't even have to have any withdrawal effects because God will uphold your spirit and he will restore the joy and the the gladness back in your heart and soul in your spirit because you will know beyond a shadow of a doubt that God is forgiving your iniquity and the devil can't do anything about it. And you get to share your testimony. Amen. Let's pray a prayer together here. I didn't put one up on the screen, but we're going to do it like this and and do it for ourselves. Let's start just with ourselves. I just taught prayer on this, so I just want to I'll say it slow. You can say it with me. Oh, dear heavenly father, I ask you to forgive me of my sins. I ask you to forgive the sins of the land I walk on. I ask you to forgive the curses against me and I ask you to forgive the curses I've spoken and I ask you to forgive the iniquity found within me in the name of Jesus the son of God. Father God, I'm sorry. I repent of it and I forgive myself as well. Thank you Jesus for healing me and restoring me. The devil can no longer accuse me here. He is gone. Father God, I ask that the mourning and the sorrow and the grief that I suffer with, the bondage and the calamities that I suffer with because of my iniquity that I have that you've forgiven me. I ask that you change it into joy, that you change it into liberty, that you change it into freedom, that you change it into gladness, that you change it into your presence and holiness, so that I can rejoice in the praise before you because you are my deliverer. You are my healer. You are my rock. You are my salvation. You are my safety. You are my foundation. In the name of Jesus, the son of God. Thank you. Amen. God bless you. I hope you are changed by this message. Share it with others and I will see you in the next message. Byebye. Previous Next Home

RENEW YOUR STRENGTH To help believers understand that true strength is not found in self-reliance, worldly gain, or fleeting emotion, but in waiting upon the Lord. This teaching emphasizes how God renews the strength of those who trust in Him, demonstrating through Scripture that spiritual endurance and empowerment come from abiding in His presence and relying on His Word. RENEW YOUR STRENGTH Minister Lisa Kane November 12, 2025 Objective: To help believers understand that true strength is not found in self-reliance, worldly gain, or fleeting emotion, but in waiting upon the Lord. This teaching emphasizes how God renews the strength of those who trust in Him, demonstrating through Scripture that spiritual endurance and empowerment come from abiding in His presence and relying on His Word. Synopsis: “Renew Your Strength” encourages believers to draw their power and resilience from the Lord, as promised in Isaiah 40:31. Minister Lisa Kane explores how even the strongest grow weary, yet those who wait on the Lord experience divine renewal that lifts them above life’s challenges like eagles soaring on the wind. Through the examples of Paul, Daniel, the Levites, and the psalmists, this message reveals that strength is cultivated through prayer, obedience, and intimacy with God. It warns against trusting in worldly riches or self-sufficiency, urging believers to dwell continually in the “secret place” of God’s presence, where strength is restored and help is sent from above. Ultimately, this teaching reminds us that our ability to walk, run, and soar through life’s trials depends entirely on our willingness to wait, trust, and abide in the Lord. Inspired Teaching - Written and/or Transcribed from Video Above: Isaiah 40:27-31 NKJV 27 Why do you say, O Jacob, And speak, O Israel: “My way is hidden from the Lord, And my just claim is passed over by my God”? 28 Have you not known? Have you not heard? The everlasting God, the Lord, The Creator of the ends of the earth, Neither faints nor is weary. His understanding is unsearchable. 29 He gives power to the weak, And to those who have no might He increases strength. 30 Even the youths shall faint and be weary, And the young men shall utterly fall, 31 But those who wait on the Lord Shall renew their strength; They shall mount up with wings like eagles, They shall run and not be weary, They shall walk and not faint. Have you ever wondered where strength comes from? It seems that some days I have no strength and yet other days, I’m filled with so much strength. Then, sometimes I ponder, why hasn’t the Lord answered my prayers? I know my prayers are true and faithful, and yet it seems quiet. But in Isaiah 40, He gives power to the weak and to those who have no might, He increases strength. The big point I want to show in Isaiah 40, is verse 31: But those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength. That tells me that God isn’t ignoring me. He’s saying by not saying that I need to wait. 2 Timothy 4:14-18 NKJV 14 Alexander the coppersmith did me much harm. May the Lord repay him according to his works. 15 You also must beware of him, for he has greatly resisted our words. 16 At my first defense no one stood with me, but all forsook me. May it not be charged against them. 17 But the Lord stood with me and strengthened me, so that the message might be preached fully through me, and that all the Gentiles might hear. Also I was delivered out of the mouth of the lion. 18 And the Lord will deliver me from every evil work and preserve me for His heavenly kingdom. To Him be glory forever and ever. Amen! Paul understood this and brought it to light when writing to Timothy. The Lord stood with him to strengthen him, so that He could accomplish His calling by preaching the gospel to the gentiles. 2 Chronicles 11:16-17 NKJV 16 And [b]after the Levites left, those from all the tribes of Israel, such as set their heart to seek the Lord God of Israel, came to Jerusalem to sacrifice to the Lord God of their fathers. 17 So they strengthened the kingdom of Judah, and made Rehoboam the son of Solomon strong for three years, because they walked in the way of David and Solomon for three years. When Israel and Judah split after Solomon died, Jeroboam was wicked and set up false priests of his own to be priests instead of the Levites. The Levites knew they were rejected but they ‘set their heart’, that is their thoughts and feelings to seek the Lord God of Israel. This allowed Rehoboam to become strong for three years because they chose to walk like David and Solomon before them. Great examples to follow… Psalm 52:7 NKJV 7 “Here is the man who did not make God his strength, But trusted in the abundance of his riches, And strengthened himself in his [a]wickedness.” And you can strengthen yourself in things of this world or in God. In Psalm 52:7, you can see that this man trusted in riches and strengthened himself in wickedness. Here’s a good question, what or who do you want to be strong in? Do you want to be strong in God and face the world’s challenges with God or do you want to be strong in your own self, or in the wickedness of this world and face the world’s challenges without God? Daniel 10:19 NKJV 19 And he said, “O man greatly beloved, fear not! Peace be to you; be strong, yes, be strong!” So when he spoke to me I was strengthened, and said, “Let my lord speak, for you have strengthened me.” In Daniel’s writings, you will find that he received his strength back when the Angel of the Lord touched him. This shows that we need God to be strengthened. Remember our opening scripture: Isaiah 40:31 NKJV 31 But those who wait on the Lord Shall renew their strength; They shall mount up with wings like eagles, They shall run and not be weary, They shall walk and not faint. How do you choose to wait on the Lord? Psalm 91:1 NKJV He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. We, you and I take the initiative to ‘dwell’ / ‘abide’ before the Lord in the secret place. Do you set time aside just to speak with God and to hear (read) His Word? This is so important as a believer in Christ. This is where we gain our strength. This is what helps us stay strong. This is what helps us see what is coming, how to be prepared for it, and what to do when it happens. Everything, especially our help comes out of the Word of God. Psalm 121:1 NKJV I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help. Psalm 20:2 NKJV 2 Send thee help from the sanctuary, and strengthen thee out of Zion; Psalm 22:19 NKJV 19 But be not thou far from me, O Lord: O my strength, haste thee to help me. The psalmists recognize that strength comes from the Lord. And they cry out to the Lord. Another way to look at dwelling in the secret place is like a preventative way of action to ask for help from the Lord before you need that help. The Word of God and His presence is our strength. May He manifest that strength in you. Previous Next Home

TO SUFFER FOR HIS SAKE The objective of this teaching is to help believers understand the divine purpose and privilege of suffering for Christ. Rather than viewing suffering merely as loss or hardship, the lesson aims to reveal how God uses it as a process of discipline, spiritual growth, and preparation for eternal life in His kingdom. By embracing suffering for righteousness’ sake, Christians can partake of the divine nature, bear spiritual fruit, and be equipped to reign with Christ in the age to come. < Back TO SUFFER FOR HIS SAKE Pastor Marcos Marrero Objective: The objective of this teaching is to help believers understand the divine purpose and privilege of suffering for Christ. Rather than viewing suffering merely as loss or hardship, the lesson aims to reveal how God uses it as a process of discipline, spiritual growth, and preparation for eternal life in His kingdom. By embracing suffering for righteousness’ sake, Christians can partake of the divine nature, bear spiritual fruit, and be equipped to reign with Christ in the age to come. Synopsis: In To Suffer for His Sake, Pastor Marcos Marrero explores Philippians 1:29, emphasizing that Christians are not only granted faith in Christ but also the privilege of suffering for Him. He distinguishes between general human suffering—often the result of poor choices or inherited conditions—and Christian suffering, which is uniquely tied to righteousness and divine purpose. The teaching highlights that suffering for Christ refines believers, enabling them to partake in God’s divine nature as described in 2 Peter 1. This process cultivates spiritual fruit such as faith, perseverance, self-control, brotherly kindness, and love. Marrero compares this to olives being crushed to release oil, showing that suffering produces anointing and fruitfulness. Furthermore, suffering has eternal implications. It prepares believers for their place in God’s kingdom, where positions and rewards are tied to the measure of faithfulness and endurance in trials. Drawing from passages like 2 Timothy 2:12 and Matthew 20:23, the lesson reveals that enduring suffering for Christ aligns believers with His example, who endured the cross for the joy set before Him (Hebrews 12:2). Ultimately, Pastor Marcos teaches that Christian suffering is not a curse but a divine training ground. It equips the believer to walk in godliness on earth, produce eternal fruit, and reign with Christ in the life to come, fulfilling God’s perfect will. Written teaching: Philippians 1:29 “For to you it has been granted on behalf of Christ, not only to believe in Him, but also to suffer for His sake.” In today’s Christian environment it almost feels like heresy to say that it has been granted to us, not only to believe in Him, but also the privilege of suffering for Him. In this lesson we will deal with the reason why God considers it a privilege when the followers of Jesus are allowed to suffer for His sake. Let us start with the basics; what is suffering for His sake? 1 Peter 3:17 “For it is better, if it is the will of God, to suffer for doing good than for doing evil.” To suffer for Jesus’ sake is to suffer for doing good. But let us not gloss over the importance of suffering itself, for all of us suffer one way or another. Suffering always has to do with discipline, for those who suffer are trained by their sufferings. And it is part of the natural process as well, as children we are deprived of many of the things that we want until we learn how to use them properly. Now in the world, suffering, though it may bring some kind of discipline to the sufferers, it is usually the result of bad personal behavior, or due to the failures of the progenitors of those who are suffering. We can see that throughout the many nations of the world today. Those who are fortunate enough to be born in nations where the early fathers made sure that future generations would have better living conditions, by setting the right political and educational systems that would allow their descendants to be raised with the proper discipline to make things better, definitely suffer a lot less than those who are less fortunate. Those who are born in nations whose early fathers fostered hatred, division, and intolerance, whose aim was to regenerate their own bigotries after they were gone, and not what would be best for their descendants, suffer more due to the prejudices that they have inherited that keeps them from making the right choices. But this is where I believe that many Christians miss the true purpose for Christian suffering, for their understanding of suffering is based partly in where they were born. Those born on the west see suffering from a different perspective that those born in the east do, globally speaking. Christian suffering overrides whether one suffers for the lack of our ancestors discipline or because of it, it does not matter. Christian suffering is a different matter altogether and we need to understand that. 1 Peter 3:14 “But even if you should suffer for righteousness’ sake, you are blessed…” The reason why Christians suffer is so that they can become partakers of the divine nature through their sufferings! That is the blessing. 2 Peter 1:3-4 “As (according to) His divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who called us by glory and virtue, by which have been given to us exceedingly great and precious promises, that through these you may be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.” The divine nature is this: in Christ we are not of this world any longer! Let’s see if we can take a practical look at what Peter is trying to tell us. When Jesus was asked by Pilate if He was a king, Jesus answered that His kingdom was not of this world. Suffering for Christ’s sake prepares Christians for the kingdom that is to come, as it is written in the Lord’s prayer: Thy kingdom come Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. 2 Timothy 2:12 “If we suffer, we shall also reign with Him…” KJV There is divine order in all of God’s creation, and that order is enforced by His divine power that governs everything in the creation in accordance with the laws of God. Suffering for Him and ruling with Him is one of those laws, if we suffer for Christ’s sake we do not suffer in vain! Being saved qualifies us to operate within the law of suffering for Him so that we can reign with Him, since in Him we have escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust. Now here is the process of suffering for His sake and becoming partakers of the divine nature. 2 Peter 1:5-9 “But also for this very reason (becoming partakers of the divine nature), giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue, to virtue knowledge, to knowledge self-control, to self-control perseverance, to perseverance godliness, to godliness brotherly kindness, and to brotherly kindness love. For if these things are yours and abound, you will be neither barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. For he who lacks these things is shortsighted, even to blindness, and has forgotten that he was cleansed from his old sins.” Diligence, faith, virtue, knowledge, self-control, perseverance (patience), godliness, brotherly kindness, love. All these are spiritual fruit that emanate from the anointing of the Holy Spirit that covers us. And just like the olives must be separated from the tree and crushed to make the oil flow, we too have the need to be separated from the world and made to endure the sufferings that allow for the anointing that is in us through the born-again experience to come forth. Philippians 1:11 “Being filled with the fruits of righteousness which are by Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.” Now there is a higher and more futuristic agenda to suffering for Christ’s sake as well, and that has more to do with the kingdom that is to come. Matthew 20:23 “So He said to them, ‘You will indeed drink My cup, and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with; but to sit on My right hand and on My left in not Mine to give, but it is for those for whom it is prepared by My Father.’” Jesus gives us insight into the kingdom that is to come, He tells His disciples that they will indeed suffer a martyr’s death but that God Himself will decide what position each believer receives in accordance with how much they suffered for Christ’s sake. The reality is that most of us just want to make it to heaven and we don’t care where we sit, as long as we are in with Jesus and where Jesus is. But if we think in terms of excelling in our training that is preparing us for the future, they both accomplish the same thing; let me explain. The future kingdom of which all born again believers will be a part of, is an eternal kingdom. What does that mean? That means that in that eternal kingdom we cannot make any mistakes, for one mistake in eternity disqualified even the most anointed of the cherubs. When God made us, the human race, He made us a little lower than the angels, see Psalm 8: He did so for the purpose of working all the bugs out of us before we became eternal, therein comes the suffering part. You see when Lucifer and the angels that followed him sinned, their natures were abruptly changed, and since they dwelled in eternity, they became eternally dammed and unredeemable, for time is the fourth-dimension where past present and future are all the same, one eternity. God placed us humans in the third dimension which is lower than the dimension that the angels occupy, for those who live in the third dimension are stuck in the present, which is not a bad thing if you figure that as long as it is called today, the present, we still have a chance to repent and make whatever wrong we made, right again, before we die and enter into the fourth dimension of eternity. Hebrews 4:7 “Again He designates a certain day, saying in David, ‘Today,’ after such a long time, as it has been said: ‘Today, if you will hear His voice, do not harden your hearts (and repent before you die so that you can enter into God’s rest).’” Hebrews 4:1 “Therefore, since a promise remains of entering His rest, let us fear lest any of you seem to have come short of it.” What that means is that once we die, as believers, we go before the judgment seat of Christ where our abilities to sin are removed from us once and for all, and then we are rewarded with our eternal position which is based on the things that we did while here on earth in Christ. 2 Corinthians 5:10 “For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive the things done in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad.” This is not a judgment of salvation, for if one is not saved he will not make it into the judgment seat of Christ. This is a judgment of rewards or the lack of them. What that means is that Jesus is trying to get us, while here on earth, to let go of the worldly things or what is called the works of the flesh, so that we can produce spiritually eternal fruit, like Peter listed, for the more spiritual fruit that we produce the greater our standing or the higher our heavenly position will be. But the flip side of that is that the more spiritual that we become while here on earth the more power that we have to impose the kingdom of God in our midst, but in order to become more spiritual the greater the suffering that we must endure by denying ourselves of the worldly pleasures that war against the kingdom of God. Now this is the kind of suffering that Paul is talking about: Philippians 2:3-4 “Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself. Let each of you look out not only for his own interests, but also for the interests of others.” So that it is only suffering if it seems to us that we are missing out instead of gaining eternal blessings. Philippians 2:5 “Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus.” Hebrews 12:2 “Looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.” His suffering earned Him the highest position, which is to sit at the right hand of God. Our suffering will get us to the highest position ordained by God for us, which is for His good and perfect will to be done in our lives. Previous Home Next

FAITH COMES BY HEARING The objective of this teaching is to show believers that true faith is born when the Word of God is heard, received personally, and acted upon. It emphasizes that faith is not just about listening with the ears, but hearing with the heart, leading to transformation, endurance through trials, and victory over the world through dependence on God’s Word rather than worldly systems. FAITH COMES BY HEARING Pastor Marcos Marrero Objective: The objective of this teaching is to show believers that true faith is born when the Word of God is heard, received personally, and acted upon. It emphasizes that faith is not just about listening with the ears, but hearing with the heart, leading to transformation, endurance through trials, and victory over the world through dependence on God’s Word rather than worldly systems. Synopsis: In Faith Comes by Hearing, Pastor Marcos unpacks Romans 10:17, stressing the difference between listening and hearing. While listening is casual, hearing implies a personal and heartfelt response to God’s Word. Faith develops when the believer internalizes God’s promises, regardless of circumstances, and rests in His authority. Using Hebrews 4, Pastor Marcos explains that faith requires entering into God’s rest, trusting His promises as final truth despite contrary realities. The lesson highlights that salvation, healing, deliverance, and restoration are all part of the believer’s inheritance in Christ, yet they unfold through a process. Trials and temptations test faith, but through endurance and the renewing of the mind, Christians are transformed “from glory to glory” (2 Corinthians 3:18). Pastor Marcos cautions against the world’s mindset, which places confidence in earthly systems, noting that faith demands full reliance on God’s Word. Addressing the tension between faith and modern medicine, he affirms that while God uses medicine and people as instruments, healing ultimately comes from Him alone. True faith recognizes that all good gifts originate from the Creator. Pastor Marcos concludes that faith brings the unseen promises of God into reality, overcoming the world’s darkness. Believers are urged to hold fast, pass the tests of faith, and receive the crown of life promised to those who endure. Inspired Teaching: Romans 10:17 “So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.” There is listening and there is hearing, while listening has a more common connotation, hearing implies a more personal tone, and since the catalyst is the Word of God, what that means is that the more personal that we make the Word of God, the greater our faith. Hebrews 4:2 “For indeed the gospel was preached to us as well as to them; but the word which they heard did not profit them, not being mixed with faith (taken personally) in those who heard it.” The letter to the Hebrews makes it very clear that those who struggle with the promises of God, do so, because of their failure to enter into the rest that the Word of God brings to those who accept it as the final authority in regards to any issue that they are dealing with. Hebrews 4:3 “For we who have believe do enter that rest…” So that true faith arises out of a decision made by a believer who reads the Word, hears what it says with the heart, and then settles the matter within his/her heart regardless of what the circumstances dictate. If God says that I am healed, and He does, I am! For the Scripture declares this: by whose stripes you were healed (1 Peter 2:24); but you may ask, what if I am still sick after I believed, for how can I reconcile the reality of His promises with the actuality of my situation? Romans 10:13 “For whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.” If you’ve called on the name of the Lord you are saved! Does that mean that you are perfect and heavenly material already? Of course not, salvation is automatic, for God considers us saved from the moment that we believe in His Gospel, but our transformation is a process. The same principle applies to our deliverance, to our healing, and to our restoration, for they are all part of our salvation. 2 Corinthians 3:18 “But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord.” Since faith comes by hearing, that is, taking to heart what He has promised us, and since what He has promised us is a process, then we better understand the process so that we can make our faith more real than the so called reality that we are actually facing. James 1:12 “Blessed is the man who endures temptation; for when he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love Him.” So that the process of faith involves us having to endure trials and temptations until we are approved and receive the crown, that is, until we pass the test for which the temptation came in the first place. What is God’s goal for us while we are having to endure the process of trials and temptations? Romans 12:2 “And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.” Since friendship with the world is enmity with God, and since we are now in God, the worldly mindset that we have inherited has to be worked out of us in order for us to receive the promises of God. James 4:4 “Adulterers and adulteresses! Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Whoever therefore wants to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God.” The mindset of the world is one of total dependency in the things that are in this world, while the word of faith requires us to be dependent of one thing and only one thing, the Word of God. Romans 8:7 “Because the carnal mind is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, nor indeed can be.” The process of hearing involves a change of mind, a turning around, which by the way it is what the word repent means, to turn around and to enter into a new mindset. So that from the moment that we’ve repented of our sins before God, the process began. Let us look at the question that we asked earlier with this new perspective in mind. What if I am still sick after I believed, for how can I reconcile the reality of His promises with the actuality of my situation? Did what you believed make you less dependent on the remedy that the world offers for your sickness and more dependent in the Word of God? There is a great deal of controversy now between what the church teaches and what modern medicine prescribes, for if you tell people to be less dependent on the drugs modern medicine prescribes and more trusting in faith, you can be sued and found liable in a court of law. For there will always be enmity between the world and the Word. But what I am dealing with here are the principles of faith, I have no problem with the medicine that God has created, for man has known of the benefits that medicine provides for ages. The more pertinent question then, is this: Does true medicine come from the world or from God? Is God not the Creator? Yes He is! Then all good medicine comes from Him and not from the world, and definitely not from man. Does God use the world to bring forth medicine that heals? Yes He does, He uses people as well to heal other people, but the healing does not come from the medicine or from the people He uses, the healings come from Him and Him alone, from the One who created all things. And that is the transformation that renews the mind, and until we learn that we do not pass the test. For the world has the habit of blaming God for all the bad that it causes, and is always eager to take credit for all the healings that God brings about into the world. Hebrews 11:1 “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” Faith makes that which exists in the invisible realm of the promises that we find in the Word of God, come alive in material form, faith in the God who created everything gives substance to that which we hope for. When Jesus told us that in this world we would have tribulations, He was warning us that our faith will always be tested by this world system. 1 John 5:4 “For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith.” But with every testing we have the opportunity to gain the victory, to wear the victor’s crown, which is the faith that transcends the weariness of this world system that is corrupt and without hope. Everyday we are given the opportunity to choose what to believe. The world will always challenge the works of the Creator, will always bring into question the necessity of faith, will always deride the workings of faith, will always condemn divergence, and the reason why the world is always wrong is because it cannot comprehend the miracle of the invisible power that not only created it but that also sustains it. John 1:5 “And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.” But if you are born again, born of the Spirit of the Living God, the One who created everything, you are qualified to not only comprehend this mystery of faith but to thrive in it, if you do not fail the test. Colossians 1:12 “Giving thanks to the Father who has qualified us to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in the light.” Do not let the world steal your inheritance; dare to believe the Word of God, no matter what the cost; learn the lesson of faith, pass the test and receive the crown of life.

SIN AND REDEMPTION The objective of this message is to help believers understand the reality of sin, its consequences, and the hope of redemption through Jesus Christ. It emphasizes that while sin takes many forms—such as lying, murder, witchcraft, and homosexuality—God’s love for humanity remains steadfast. The lesson aims to show that sin is an action, not an identity, and that forgiveness, deliverance, and eternal life are available to all who repent and call on the name of the Lord. SIN AND REDEMPTION Minister Lisa Kane November 17, 2020 Objective: The objective of this message is to help believers understand the reality of sin, its consequences, and the hope of redemption through Jesus Christ. It emphasizes that while sin takes many forms—such as lying, murder, witchcraft, and homosexuality—God’s love for humanity remains steadfast. The lesson aims to show that sin is an action, not an identity, and that forgiveness, deliverance, and eternal life are available to all who repent and call on the name of the Lord. Synopsis: In this teaching, Minister Lisa Kane explains that sin, in all its forms, is disobedience to God’s Word and ultimately leads to death. From the beginning with Adam and Eve’s disobedience, sin has marked humanity with mortality and separation from God. Using biblical examples, including Genesis, Leviticus, Romans, and the Gospels, the message clarifies that sins such as lying, stealing, witchcraft, and homosexuality are not overlooked by God, yet they do not disqualify anyone from His love and redemption. The lesson underscores that God hates sin but loves the sinner, as all people are created in His image and declared good. Redemption is available to whoever calls upon the name of the Lord (Joel 2:32; Romans 10:13). Jesus Christ’s sacrificial death is presented as the ultimate act of love, greater than any human understanding of love. Believers are encouraged to see correction not as condemnation but as protection, much like a parent protecting a child from harm. The consequences of sin are death (Romans 6:23), but the gift of God is eternal life through Christ. The teaching calls all people to choose salvation by confessing Jesus as Lord and seeking self-control through the Holy Spirit (Galatians 5:22–23). Finally, the message reassures that God continually invites His children back, offering forgiveness and the strength to overcome temptation, leading them toward the fullness of His image and eternal life with Him. Inspired Teaching: There are several types of sin: lying, murder, witchcraft, homosexuality and many more. Sin is disobeying God and there are many actions God says not to do that we do every day. People lie, cheat, steal, kill, among other things like witchcraft and homosexuality. Let us take a look at homosexuality. How do I know this is a sin? Because the action of this sin goes against what God decrees in His Word to all humankind: Genesis 9:1 & 17 NKJV Vs. 1 So God blessed Noah and his sons, and said to them: “Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth. Vs. 17 And God said to Noah, “This is the sign of the covenant which I have established between Me and all flesh that is on the earth.” Homosexuality is unfruitful. Two males or two females are not able to produce biological offspring and therefore is not fruitful. Homosexuality disobeys God’s word for all flesh. Does this mean that God doesn’t love you? Absolutely not. Remember, homosexuality is a verb, not a noun. Verbs are actions. The act of lying, the act of murdering, the act of homosexuality etc. are sins that God hates. Not the person, the noun. Does that mean there is something wrong with you? Absolutely not. In fact, quite the opposite. You were made in God’s image and He called us good. Genesis 1:26 NKJV Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness;...” Genesis 1:31 NKJV Then God saw everything that He had made, and indeed it was very good. So the evening and the morning were the sixth day. In fact, what is love? The biggest promotion from the LGBTQ community is that love is love. Here’s a friendly reminder, love is action and the only human to ever prove and show true love is Jesus, and yes, He did this for everyone, and we’ve all sinned. Joel 2:32 NKJV And it shall come to pass that whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be [a]saved. Romans 10:13 NKJV For “whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.” Notice how important this statement is? God said it twice: once in the Old Testament and once in the New Testament. Jesus died for ‘whoever’ – no exclusions. That means you’re not excluded either, whether you claim to be homosexual or not. In reality, you’re just another sinner in the world…just like everyone else. Romans 3:23 NKJV for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, Here’s love from God: John 3:16 NKJV 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. None of us can come close to that action of love Jesus took on the cross. When the LGBTQ community states love is love, do you love your child so much that you would let him or her burn their hand in the fire on the stove? Of course not. In fact, you love them so much that you smack their hands hoping the sting would let them know not to touch the fire. That’s what believers are doing with those wanting approval of their sin – any sin for that matter. In this particular message, it’s homosexuality. That’s what the LGBTQ community or the spirit behind them is saying…they want to sin and they want us to say it’s ok when God’s word clearly says it’s not. So every time something says the opposite of what they want, it stings, just like getting your hand smacked from your parents when reaching toward a fire; because you know deep down what God is telling you. And if you really want a more direct point blank statement in the bible of homosexuality as a sin, here it is: Leviticus 20:13 NKJV If a man lies with a male as he lies with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination. They shall surely be put to death. Their blood shall be upon them. Let’s talk about death here and understand the ramifications of sin in general, and not just the sin of homosexuality. Romans 6:23 NKJV For the wages of sin is death, but the [a]gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. The moment that Eve and Adam sinned by pulling the fruit off the tree disobeying God, they started to age. (See, sin is disobeying God.) They didn’t die right away. In fact, it took several hundred years before they finally died. Today’s life expectancy is much shorter but the point is that if you sin, you die. Sin from lying, murder, adultery, homosexuality, witchcraft, etc. leads to death. But God. The gift of God, His Son is eternal life. God is awesome. He dealt with sin by sending His son Jesus to die on the cross so that you could be saved if you want to, and this is from all sin. So you need to ask yourself, do you want to stay in sin or do you want to follow God? I know this stings but it’s your choice. I’d rather you don’t burn in the lake of fire from any sin you commit but see you saved! Romans 10:9-10 NKJV that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. To choose God, say this out loud: Dear Jesus, I’m sorry. I’ve sinned and I ask You to forgive me of my sin and come into my heart and be my Lord and Savior. Thank You for Your forgiveness and mercy. In Jesus’ name Amen! Now it’s up to you whether you want to continue sinning when it’s so obvious God doesn’t want you to. The first thing you need is self-control. This will overcome temptation with sin. How do you obtain self-control? Ask God. Galatians 5:22-23 NKJV But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 [a]gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law. Say this prayer out loud: Dear Jesus, Thank You for being my Lord and Savior. Help me overcome sin by placing self-control within me. Deliver me and help me stay focused on You. In Jesus name Amen! And just like sin in general, humanity continues to lie, cheat, etc…and when we do, go back to God. Ask Him again to change you and persevere in asking. Continue to ask Him to help you be in His image. He already sees you as that perfect jewel He made in you and He will get you on the right path if you want to. He will keep you from the temptation of whatever sin is your poison if you want to. You just need to talk to God. He’s waiting…start talking. Previous Next Home
