DEMISE OF THE NATIONS To explain the biblical basis for God’s coming judgment upon the nations, showing both the timing (Revelation 6:16–17) and the cause (Romans 1:18–25). The study seeks to reveal how the suppression of truth, the rise of secular ideologies, and the mystery of lawlessness have led the world to its present moral collapse, ultimately inviting the wrath of God. DEMISE OF THE NATIONS Pastor Marcos Marrero Objective: To explain the biblical basis for God’s coming judgment upon the nations, showing both the timing (Revelation 6:16–17) and the cause (Romans 1:18–25). The study seeks to reveal how the suppression of truth, the rise of secular ideologies, and the mystery of lawlessness have led the world to its present moral collapse, ultimately inviting the wrath of God. Synopsis: The teaching begins with Paul’s charge in Romans 1, where he declares that the wrath of God is revealed against all who suppress the truth of the Gospel. This suppression is traced throughout history—from idolatry in Paul’s day to the modern rejection of Judeo-Christian values. Humanity has no excuse, for God’s attributes and divine nature are evident in creation, yet men choose lies over truth. John’s revelation in Revelation 6:16–17 identifies the moment when this wrath will be fully revealed: the Day of the Lord, when the nations cry out in fear before the Lamb. The text draws a connection between Paul’s explanation of why judgment comes and John’s vision of when it arrives. The narrative explores the influence of Darwin, Freud, and Marx, presenting them as exemplars of the “three unclean spirits” of Revelation 16:13–14. Darwin’s evolutionary doctrine fueled racial and ethnic atrocities; Freud’s psychology dulled conscience and justified sin; and Marx’s socialism empowered ruling elites to suppress freedom and truth. Together, these demonic ideologies paved the way for today’s lawlessness, tyranny, and moral decay. Modern society reflects Paul’s warning: people exchange the truth of God for lies, worshiping created things rather than the Creator. Governments and institutions reinforce this deception, leading to wars, oppression, and indifference to evil. Entrenched systems of power prevent true change, ensuring nations persist in rebellion against God. The study concludes that the wrath of God is inevitable and soon to be revealed, as nations and their leaders, knowingly or not, wage war against Christ Himself. Yet believers are not left hopeless. Jesus promises that abiding in His Word brings truth, and the truth makes us free (John 8:31–32). Thus, while the nations spiral toward their demise, the faithful can stand secure in God’s Word and salvation. Inspired Teaching: Romans 1:18 “For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress (hold down) the truth in unrighteousness.” Would you like to know when will the final wrath of God be revealed from heaven to the people of the world? Our next verse of Scripture tells us the precise moment when it happens. Revelation 6:16-17 “And said to the mountains and rocks, ‘Fall on us and hide us from the face of Him who sits on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb! For the great day of His wrath has come, and who is able to stand?’” John tells us when it will happen in the book of Revelation, and Paul tells us why it will happen in his letter to the Romans. In Romans chapter one Paul is laying down a charge against the nations of the world, and his letter is addressed to all who are in Rome, the capital of the Roman empire. Romans 1:5, 7 “Through Him we have received grace and apostleship for obedience to the faith among all nations for His name...To all who are in Rome, beloved of God, called to be saints…” In our opening Scripture Paul reveals the foundation or count number one, we might say, of God’s charge against humanity; suppression of the truth. Since the truth of the Gospel of Jesus Christ has the power to save people from their sins, then those who suppress the proclamation of the Gospel of Truth are guilty of the blood of all those who end up in hell. Romans 1:17 “For in it (the Gospel) the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, ‘The just shall live by faith.’” Of course, during Paul’s day the persecution of the saints, those who accepted the truth of God, was tremendous, for they were compelled at their conversion to turn away from idolatry and to be delivered from the demons that lurked behind the idols they had been worshiping. But there is also a futuristic aspect to the charges that Paul is laying down in his indictment of the human race, for he says that since the creation of the world this suppression of the truth has been taking place, so that there has to be a future end to it. Romans 1:19-20 “Because what may be known of God is manifest in them, for God has shown it to them. For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead (divine nature, deity), so that they are without excuse.” The They are without excuse, are all those who suppress the truth that it is clearly manifested in the Gospel of Jesus Christ, be it in self-suppression, that is suppressing the truth within themselves, or in a greater plane, suppressing the Gospel within their own families, communities, or nations. To many who lived on the west and were raised under the Judeo Christian values of just a century ago, the thought of an era of secular humanism, void of God and morals, was a reprehensible idea to say the least, and just look where we are now after two world wars and a myriad of smaller ones. We live in a world where blood thirsty tyrants decimate entire populations, including their aged and their children along with their mothers, in instances they even use chemical weapons and their violent deaths are recorded live for everyone to see, and the world just does not seem to care. Then the very ones that are behind all the mayhem and have supplied those tyrants with their support and their deadly weaponry, are treated as heroes. What is happening to us? In the midst of so much wrong there does not seem to be a right way to turn to, why is that? Romans 1:25 “Who exchanged the truth of God for the lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.” Paul calls what is going on in our present day, in his second letter to the Thessalonians, the mystery of lawlessness. This mystery is revealed to us in our next verse of Scripture: Revelation 16:13-14 “And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs coming out of the mouth of the dragon, out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet. For they are spirits of demons, performing signs, which go out to the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty.” I believe that these three demons, that are finally exposed before the Lord destroys them, are the three forces, or influences, that drive our present-day leaders and their respective nations away from the Judeo-Christian traditions that they not so long ago embraced. There are three men whose influence upon the human race was pivotal to bring us into the chaotic situation that we find our world deep in today. They were, Darwin, Freud, and Marx; these three men, I believe, best exemplify the nature of the three major demonic influences that have brought so much havoc into our world today. Darwin with his theory of evolution and supremacy of the species, gave credence to the hatred that brought about man’s inhumanity to man, through the Nazi doctrine of ethnic cleansing, how else could well educated men have committed such atrocities unless they believed that they were doing the world a service by ridding it of inferior humans. One would think that their consciences would have pricked them to the point of realizing that what they were doing was so wrong. For how can one justify to oneself the slaughter of innocent people, specially woman and children? I guess we have Freud to thank for that, psychology and their understanding of it, enabled them to turn their guilt switch off, that is why after a long hard day of sending thousands of live innocent people to the gas chambers and their dead bodies to the fiery furnace, they could just enjoy a nice meal with their wives and family, and even go to a concert and enjoy themselves without a trace of shame or guilt for what they were doing. Proverbs 4:16-17 “For they do not sleep unless they have done evil; and their sleep is taken away unless they make someone fall. For they eat the bread of wickedness, and drink the wine of violence.” The first time that I heard the above Scripture being preached on, so many things finally made sense to me. The symbolism of eating something, biblically speaking, speaks of believing a doctrine with the heart, in their case, demonic doctrines, that they took into their hearts by believing them; when they did that the demons behind the doctrines followed them inside of that persons heart. Once those demons got inside of them, they got no rest until they acted out what their belief of that doctrine required of them, for the demons are the enforcers. They could not get a good night of sleep until they caused someone’s fall, we see this played out over and over again in all levels of society today. This brings us to the third force, spirit, or frog: Marxism. Socialism, which is a manifestation of Marxist ideology, dictates that the ruling class is to make all the important decisions in regards to the rest of humanity, for they see themselves as illuminated ones who have been entrusted with the knowledge that will save everyone else if they just do what they say must be done. In other words, they see people as stupid and unable to make their own choices, so they appoint themselves to make the right choices on behalf of everybody else, whether they like or not. That is why in socialist or communist countries only socialists or communists are allowed to run for political offices, you are allowed in some instances to change the collar but not the dog. We also see this in Islamic nations that allowed elections to take place, their political leaders change, but not the religious rulers that are the ones that really control all the power. We may not realize it, but that is what many of the western democracies have become, where we are forced to endure entrenched institutions like our judicial system for example, who continuously exercise their power to change legislation that does not fit within their anti-God objectives, and in some instances they legislate from the bench the things that even the legislators themselves are unable to pass. Here in America we see this also more and more from the executive branch of government, when their agenda is rejected by the legislators, they are somehow able to implement their agenda through executive orders, thereby defying the will of the people that elected the legislators to oppose such agenda. And, this is new, in many instances the executive branch refuses to enforce the laws that they disagree with. So they make it impossible to bring real change, for it does not matter who gets elected, things never change for the better, they just keep getting worse for the real people that have to follow the rules that they make for the rest of us and that do not even apply to themselves. That is why the wrath of God will soon be revealed from heaven upon all the nations of the world, and that is why all the nations and peoples of the world will be running for their bomb shelters when the see the glorious Lamb of God coming, for that is who they have really being fighting all along. But we do not have to drink in their poison, for we are partakers of something that is far superior of what this world has to offer. John 8:31-32 “...If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed. And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” Previous Next Home

OBEDIENCE IN YOUR CALLING To encourage believers to walk faithfully in their God-given callings with humility and obedience, understanding that every follower of Christ is commissioned to share the gospel, serve others, and operate in the power of the Holy Spirit. < Back OBEDIENCE IN YOUR CALLING Minister Lisa Kane November 18, 2023 Objective: To encourage believers to walk faithfully in their God-given callings with humility and obedience, understanding that every follower of Christ is commissioned to share the gospel, serve others, and operate in the power of the Holy Spirit. Synopsis: In “Obedience in Calling” (Mark 16:15), Minister Lisa Kane teaches the importance of recognizing and submitting to the calling God has placed on every believer’s life. The message begins with the general commission to go into all the world and preach the gospel, reminding us that our mission extends beyond the church walls into everyday encounters—whether at the grocery store, workplace, or neighborhood. Drawing from scripture, Lisa shows how Jesus lived His calling (Luke 4:18–19), how Jonah initially resisted his call, and how Saul misunderstood his anointing, contrasting their responses with David’s servant-hearted obedience. Believers are urged to understand that being called is not limited to preaching—it includes gifts of service, healing, prayer, and leadership. The teaching emphasizes that the Holy Spirit empowers us through baptism, anointing, and prayer to walk in these assignments. Each act of obedience carries eternal weight: not only bringing deliverance and healing to others but also establishing believers as future witnesses in God’s judgment. Ultimately, the message calls Christians to servant leadership, daily obedience, and prayerful intercession—living as Christ’s hands and feet in the world. By humbly yielding to God’s direction, we bring glory to Him and fulfill our role in the harvest of souls. Inspired Teaching: Hello and welcome to the House of Faith Ministries. I'm Lisa Kaine and I'm recording this on Saturday, November 18th, 2023. Welcome. This message is called Obedience in Calling. Let's open up in a word of prayer. Father God, we thank you for the anointing of your presence and we thank you for the living word of God to be alive and to superimpose itself upon us, Father God, that we may walk in your calling, that we may deliver your word, that we may preach the gospel, share the good news to all around us, so that each and every person can hear and be saved. Father God, we glorify you and honor you. We thank you for calling us to the callings that you have in our lives. In the glorious name of Jesus, we pray. Amen. And amen. Amen. Amen. Let's go to uh our opening scripture here. That's obedience in your calling. We're going to start here in Mark 16:15, the King James version. And he said unto them, "Go ye into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature." I get it. Sometimes we wonder, "What is our calling in life?" So, what I'm going to do is I'm going to show you the general calling that the scriptures tell us to follow. We do have special gifts that we will be anointed with and blessed with those that are walking in those gifts by the Holy Spirit. We're also going to see in the scriptures what Jesus calling was. We're going to see uh different people and how they reacted with their calling that was that they should have followed and obeyed. So, I'm going to bring all that here because I really want you to see the different reactions that are out there is kind of interesting, but at the same time, I'm hoping to encourage you to be attentive to what you're hearing around you. You should be listening to other preachers and pastors teaching as well. And if you are, you're going to find that there is a general consensus like with what we've been praying and teaching on um you know uh deliverance within ourselves. This has been a thing going on and and like Lance Wallnau uh his prophecy prophetic summit here in 2024 that he got to speak at, you know, he's one of the teachers there. He shared and we need to go out into the world. He's talking about his uh seven mountains. You can go check him out. That's Lance Wall now. W A L L N AU's I I was blessed by his message and I hope that you are too. that you should be listening to others because what you find is that they're teaching similar to what you're teaching or what the low Holy Spirit is showing you in the secret place. So if you've been reading his scriptures, which is what I've been preaching, you will find pastors and preaching pastors and teachers preaching the same thing and you'll be like, "Oh, the Holy Spirit is speaking to me." And that's how this works. So let's start here. Mark 16:15, he says, "Go." Which means, you know, get out. get out of the the church. You see, most people that attend a church attend it once, twice, maybe three times a week. You do have your occasional Easter and Christmas service attendees as well, but for the most part, most people tend to go about two, three times a week. Well, the issue is what about the rest of the week? You see, we need to be outside the walls of the church ministering the word of God out there. The church is already in the presence of the Lord in our secret place. The body of Christ is already there. What we need to do is go out there because the harvest is out there. So, we have to go reap the harvest or water it, whatever. We're called to tend the garden as Adam was called to do. Well, that's what you're saying here. He's telling you to go. you need to travel, depart, whatever it is, you know, and when you walk into like your grocery store, your gas station, when you start speaking to the people and you interact with people, God bless you. Have a wonderful day. How are you? You know, interact and have that conversation because you'll be surprised how many lives you will impact just from doing that. And there you don't even have to have any scripture. When Paul was talking to I forget what church it was, but as he's talking to that particular area, he met them at their area of being knowledgeable or they thought they were knowledgeable. He b he used their gods and their messages and turned it around on them. He didn't have to use the word of God there. But the Holy Spirit will give us what to say, when to say, and how to say it. So, we got to get out into the world. And that world there means orderly arrangement. Let me remind everybody the way I teach this is the word word in bold is the word in the scripture. What's in italicized in parentheses is other words that could have been translated in that world in in that word. All right. So we got go which means travel depart. We have world orderly arrangement just things that are set up in arrangement. And to preach and what does that word preach mean? to herald divine truth, herald divine truth, proclaim, publish. So with when you can do it multiple ways, do it with your body language. Do it with your mouth. God bless you. Hey, how you doing? You don't even have to say God bless you. Just smile and are you doing okay? Is everything okay with you? It's great to see you. How's everything going? And even if this is strangers, you simply say, hey, you look nice. or hey, you know, I hope you're having a great day cuz God is with you or the L the Holy Spirit will give you the right thing to say at the right time. Amen. So, we're told to go into the world. We're told to herald the divine truth, which is the gospel, the good news, and that gospel there's good message to every creature. That word creature, there's building, creation, ordinance. You see what I'm doing now? I'm called to teach and preach the living word of God, but I'm not in a church. I'm with the house of faith ministries. And that is the covering I have over me. That's what I'm called. House of Faith Ministries is an ordinance, a building. That is what this is talking about when it says every creature. It's like going and preaching to uh Elon M Musk and X or going to Walmart because see all of these buildings are part in part we all walk in part of that system that's in place. I'm working on getting the prayers written up so we can place them here on in the section in the website called empowering prayers. As I get the prayers broken up, we'll be praying for businesses. So, as you're praying for them behind the scenes, when you walk into them, you want to make your presence known by you smile because the people will sense it and they will know. Amen. Let's look at Luke 4:18 and 19. This is Jesus speaking. This is the calling Jesus had on his life. The spirit of the Lord is upon me because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor. He hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, to preach the acceptable year of the Lord. Okay, so this is what Jesus had. Now, we can always go back to Psalm 149 and realize that through his blood and his redemption, we're to be Christlike and we've been given authorities, which is what those prayers. And I just finished teaching on this in the last couple of weeks. So, you can get into that and go check it out. I'm just going to get it up on the website so that it's written down so we can follow it. But, I want you to see the things that Jesus were tasked to do. It wasn't just to die on the cross. He had things to accomplish in his ministry. Now remember, he is the word of God, the living word of God. He's the embodiment of it, personification of it. He's the one that came to life out of that because he wrote it. So he knew every word in the entire scriptures but written by all authors. He knew them all and he knew what he had to fulfill while he was walking here on the earth. So he says, "The spirit of the Lord upon is upon me." Now, if we're to be Christlike, we need the spirit of the Lord upon us. To do that, you get water baptized. When Jesus was baptized, the dove came upon him. Now, you when you get baptized and this the spirit of the Lord comes upon you, that's when you're ready to go into ministry. Now, you could always go look at the day of Pentecost where Peter stands up in Acts and prior to that there were flames coming out of his head or all of their it was 120 of them. They're speaking in tongues and people heard them in their own language. So, there was a manifestation of the spirit there and that spirit is something we can be giving out to others and praying over. Elders should be praying the Holy Spirit anointing upon their congregation, people that are ready to walk into their calling. So, this is a couple of ways that you walk in. One, you get baptized, and two, have the elders pray the anointing over you. Get the spirit of the Lord upon you. Now, if you're being called to, let's say, be a pastor, they will pray over you. They will anoint you with oil. So when you have a special calling, be a king, a senator, uh whatever calling, the leadership of your company, whatever it is that has, you can do that in the name of Jesus, have someone pray over you and anoint you with oil. This solidifies the contract and lets the enemy and the heavenly realm know that you are covered and called in this area. This is how this works. Okay. Now, the spirit of the Lord is upon me because he hath anointed. There was contact with oil made to preach the gospel, the good news to who? The poor. What is the churches supposed to do? You need to have food for the poor. Do you have money? You should be buying groceries for your neighbors that you know that don't have any. You should be buying groceries for your church and not outdated things. It should be current fresh food that you can hand out to your followers. This is very important. This is that's another part of a calling in our lives. He has sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to make whole. You see that word heals, cure, make whole, and the brokenhearted is crushed and shattered. How many people do you hear in this service or in a Bible study where they're sharing in confidence things that are going on around them? They're in really bad shape. They're broken and you can see it. And it's like, wow. Well, if Jesus came to heal them, guess what you are called to do? To heal them, too. to preach deliverance, freedom, pardon to the captives because there's people in bondage. They have no idea how to get out of it. But if you are listening to this message and have been following this message, you are in the secret place with the Lord. You are filled with the anointing of the Holy Spirit. You can go pray for them and know exactly what to pray, which is what I've been teaching. That's why I want to put it in writing and get it on the website to the captives which captives are prisoners of war. There's a war you know you're born automatically into a war the moment of conception your mother conceived you in sin and now you are sin. So immediately you have to repent. So it takes a few years because you grow up and as you grow up you finally say, you know, Lord, I need you to be lord my lord of me, be my savior because I have sinned and I messed up. And see, now you get on your path with God and you start growing with him. Start learning and recovering of sight to the blind, restoring the blind's eyes. They can't see. There's people out here who are under a strong delusion right now. They can't see what's going on. They're blinded. They're It's just opaque to them. And in fact, they think that you're nuts. Well, guess what? They're the ones that are blinded. It's not us. To set out liberty, them that are bruised. So, we can also take these people that have been buffeted and hurt by the devil and proclaim liberty and pardon them. We get to pardon them. This is the atonement and the priest and the priestly acts that is our responsibility a calling in our lives. These are little things that we should be doing. Jesus was doing watch what he says here to preach the acceptable year of the Lord. Look at that. So we get to proclaim an acceptable or approved favored year. We get to do that just as much as Jesus did. He did it. I'll show you the scripture here regarding that. Watch it here in a moment. So, and then the Lord is the authority. So, we get to set this year apart. We have a new year coming up here very shortly. We get to proclaim it as an acceptable year of the Lord placing God's favor on it because we, the church, the body of Christ, taking back what the enemy had stolen from us because that is the prayer, the calling we have in our lives. This is awesome. what the Lord is doing. Now look at this in John 14:12. Verily, verily, I say unto you, he that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also, and greater works than these shall he do, because I go unto my father. You see, Jesus was in the flesh, and he walked the earth for 33 years. He healed the sick. He showed he healed the blind. He let people be delivered. He cast out demons. These are the things we should do because we're in the flesh. He had to go to the father. He's now in the spirit. So now in the flesh, we have to take up his duty. And it was Did you see the the extra part there? And greater. I've got to do more than Jesus. I'm going to tell you when Peter cru was crucified, martyed, upside down on the cross, he did it willingly. He went up there and says, "I did what I was told to do. I've been waiting for this day because I knew I was going to die for Christ." And I taught on this a few weeks ago. So when you see the calling in your life, these are the things you're going to do which is greater than what Jesus did here on the earth. And if you don't think that you can do that, you better get the Holy Spirit because this is biblical and this is what Jesus is saying to us. get it. I'm reading it right off the living word of God right here in front of you. But notice, look at he says he he that believeth that believeth means to have faith and the works, the toil, the deeds, the labor that Jesus did greater, larger, the elder of those works shall we do. And what is that word do? To make, agree, appoint, band together, cast out. because we're still in the flesh while he's gone on to the Holy Spirit. You see how we had to come in agreement there? This is interesting. Okay, we have to come into agreement and we have to walk and choose to walk in this. Now, you may think, well, I can't do any of that. That's exactly what you should be thinking. Not by might nor by power, but by his spirit, says the Lord. So all you're doing is saying, "Okay, Lord, in obedience, I'm going to go lay hands on this person." Now look at what Jonah did because I want you to see Jonah, his calling. Now the word, so this is Jonah chapter 1 1-3. Now the word of the Lord came unto Jonah, the son of Amiti, saying, "Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and cry, call out against it, for your wickedness has come up before me." But Jonah rose up to flee into unto Tarses for the presence of the Lord and went down to Japa and he found a ship going to Tarses. So he paid the fair thereof and went down into it to go with him into Tarses from the presence of the Lord. He was supposed to go to Nineveh and because that's his calling. But he got mad because he felt that Nineveh did not deserve grace. He knew they would repent. See, Jonah knew the moment he spoke, they're going to re receive and believe. And he took off because he was mad. And he told God straight up. See, God understands relationships. He understands your hurt. He wants to hear you tell him these things. Now, in the case of Jonah, he went running and God sent a great fish after him. And he ends up staying in this fish for three days because it took him that long to come to the conclusion that God was in control. Yeah. And and then he repented. He humbled himself. He went to Nineveh and they got saved and he was all happy about it, but they repented. And I wanted you to see that because he disobeyed his calling. We have to obey our calling. Where are you? Did you run? Are you the one running? Or are you in a situation where you are praying? You're going to church, but you don't know what to do. This is where you have to purpose yourself to get the knowledge of the living word of God in you, which means you spend time, quality time with the Lord and his word. Amen. Now, I want you to look at Saul. This is a man that was going to become King Saul. Watch what happens here. So in 1st Samuel 9:16, "Tomorrow about this time," so God is talking to Samuel. He says, "Tomorrow about this time, I will send thee a man out of the land of Benjamin, and thou shalt anoint him to be what? Captain, commander." Did he say king? I want you to see some revelation here. This is awesome. Over my people Israel. that he may save free safe entity my people out of the hand of the Philistines for I have looked upon my people because their cry is come unto me. Saul was not called to be king. The people asked for a king and God says to Samuel, I'm going to give them what they want. He gives them a commander to rule over them to help them defeat the Philistines. So he's a captain. He's a commander, but his calling was to save the people out of the hand of the Philistines. That's what his calling was to do. That's all Saul was called to do. And yet, he went a little step further. Now, Samuel prophesies and he tells him everything that's going to go happen. But in the meantime, Samuel took a vial of oil. This is now Samuel 10:1. And poured it on his head, and kissed him, and said, "Is it not because the Lord hath anointed thee to be captain commander over his inheritance?" I want you to see something. You notice he anointed him with oil. If you're called to be an elder of a church or a pastor of a church, they got to anoint you with oil to be able to do that. You can't do it without having the calling and the anointing on you. And there's specific words. And look at the specific words. He's called to be the captain, a commander over Israel, which is the inheritance. They're going to occupy that land. This is their heirloom. This is their possession. This is what's been given to Saul. And by the way, if he defeats the Philistines, his kingdom now will be establish. His captain, his commandership. He's got blessings ahead of him. Oh, but let's look at what happened because this is very important because now Samuel prophesies over Saul and says this is exactly what you're going to do. Verse six of chapter 10, the spirit of the Lord come upon thee and thou shalt prophesy with him and shalt be turned into another man. So Saul is not a spiritual kind of man, but he's going to have an encounter that is spiritual, and it's going to make him think like he's a prophet or a seer himself. So he is going to be turned into another man. He and verse seven, and let it be when these signs are come unto thee that thou do as occasion serve thee, for God is with thee. So see, God gave him his calling. He got anointed. So now God and Saul are joined together to defeat the Philistines. That's what Saul's calling is. When you're called and you're anointed, you and God joined together and you need to do exactly what your calling is. Now watch this. Verse nine. And it was so that when he had turned his back to go from Samuel, God gave him another heart. Look at that word though. It means hinder next and other. And all those things came to pass that day. God already purposed. He knew exactly what Saul was going to do. So now Saul was going to become a hindrance to David. Because see the people wanted Saul and Saul ran ahead from it but pulled him out, anointed him with oil and then simply gave him a captainship, a a commander. They didn't give him kingship and he gave him a new heart. He had a new heart. He now had a covenant with God. But part through there, instead of going after the Philistines and serving God, he decided to put a crown on his head and serve as king to the people because that's what the people wanted. But that word heart meant hindrance. And then comes David, the apple of his eye. Look at Psalm 89:3 and4. I have made a covenant with my chosen. This is God talking. I have sworn unto David my servant. Thy seed will I establish forever and build up thy throne to all generations. You see now, God, he God's the one handling all this. So you're you if you're obedient to your calling, how little or how great it is. If it's just a smile unto people, because there's not everybody's made to be a preacher, not everybody is made to walk in wisdom, knowledge, understanding, but there are tongues, there are gifts of healings, there's gifts of administration, there are all kinds of gifts from the Holy Spirit that you can have a calling on. So don't limit yourself and don't limit God. But look, if Saul had continued obeying God, do you think that his seed would have been the one that was established and Jesus would have came through his seed? See, God chooses you. You're his elect, and he will swear unto you. And look at what David is, though. He's a servant. You see, to be a king, you need to be a servant. The best commanders, captains, kings, leadership. The best ones are the ones who serve the people. So your calling is servantthood. Be humbled before the Lord as you share the living word of God. As it per person personifies itself, it comes out of you. That is walking with God. Now let's go to Acts 18. Now this is Jesus talking to the 120 or to the disciples. But ye shall receive power after the Holy Ghost has come upon you and ye shall be witnesses upon me unto me both in Jerusalem and in all Judea and in Samaria and unto the uttermost part of the earth. Look at that. You shall receive you're going to take get hold of force a miraculous power when the Holy Ghost comes upon you. superimposes himself on you and you'll be witnesses. Look at that word witness. It means to martyr, record. You see, there's two parts to your calling. It's not just being obedient and going out and doing what you're told to do. You're serving that. You're obedient. You do that. But when you do that, you're doing it to a recipient. And whether that recipient receives or not, you're going to judge that recipient in the future. That's how this works. So let's go take a look at that because this is very important because this is part of your calling. Matthew 12:40 through42 Jesus is talking. For as Jonas was, this is Jonah, but the King James version translates it and said Jonas. For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly or the fish's belly, so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth. The men of Nineveh shall rise in judgment with this generation. And what was Jonah? What did he do? He had to go to the city of Nineveh, preach to them so they would get saved. He ended up doing it because he didn't want to, but they got saved. So what Jesus is saying, that generation that got saved is going to stand up in judgment with this generation that Jesus is currently walking and ministering to and shall condemn it. the folks of Nineveh that got saved in the time of Jonah, they're going to stand up and they're going to condemn this generation. And the reason they get that right to do it because they repented at the preaching of Jonah and behold, a greater than Jonah is here. Do you see the power and the authority of the calling now you have? Because it's twofold. It's not just you being obedient going there. that's in the flesh, but in the spirit, you're going to come back and you're going to judge because this is how this works. This is how God has established it and set it up. Verse 42, the queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with this generation and shall condemn it because why would she do it? For she came from the innermost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon and behold a greater than Solomon is here. See, they went out of their way to believe in God and they didn't even have the Messiah there. But now that the Messiah is there, this generation is rejecting him. But he's he's saying, "Okay, well, you know what? I'm going to the these generations are going to rise up and judge you because they rejected the Messiah." Oh. So even though you're preaching and you're sharing the gospel, you smile. If somebody goes h and just walks away from you, guess what? You're the one who's going to judge them if they go to the afterlife life and never repent. That's your calling. So if you're obedient, you're the one sharing the good news. You're not the one on the other side supposed to be receiving it but rejecting it. There's a lot of people who are rejecting. We have to be very careful and cautious of this because when we're teaching, when we're sharing the spirit of God when we're saying the right words that the Holy Spirit gives us to that person in the grocery store or at the gas station or the laundromat, wherever you're at, I promise you that the Holy Spirit's going to give you those right words. and they're either going to accept or reject. Either you're part of the watering line that goes on on top of a person because people get saved weird ways. It the reaping of the harvest for that individual can happen after 20 different people God sent to them telling them the same thing over and over again. you. Sometimes it takes that kind of thing to happen from God to make that happen to get that person to realize maybe there is a God and he is talking to me. What do I do to get saved? And then the doors open. But this is our calling. This is what we do. Let's go back to John 14:12 because now I want you to see this with all of that knowledge behind you. Verily, verily, I say unto you, he that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also, and greater works than these shall he do, because I go unto my father. So Jesus clearly telling us we're going to be doing greater works than he did, which is healing, casting out demons, and being obedient to what his word is, and confessing Jesus as the son of God, sharing that to all those around us. Amen. Go back to Mark 16:15, our opening scripture. And he said unto them, "Go ye into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature." That's your calling because you are going to judge those people on the aftermath if they choose to reject. Now, if they choose to receive, hallelujah, whether, like I said, you either watered them, nourished them, you're part of that line of people that came and talked to them and they eventually get saved. Whether it's 20 people, 10 people, 50 people, whatever it is, they finally get saved. Woo! Well, then after that, if they choose to reject, you're one of the ones that are come forward in the afterlife and going to judge them because that's just the way things are. So in this obedience that we need to have, the best thing we need to do is be a servant unto that and be obedient to that. So we're going to say a prayer here. I'm going bring it up on the screen. Let's say it together so that we can let the spirit of servantthood come upon our hearts and minds so that we can walk in the obedience that we're called to do. This is called prayer of servantthood the servants covenant and you can find this in the empowering prayer section of the house of faithministries.org website and this is a prayer that's a petition to become a humble servant. This is founded in John 12:26. Whoever serves me must follow me and where I am my servant also will be. My father will honor the one who serves me. So let's pray. Dear Jesus, let's let's do it straight on the screen. Just repeat after me. Father in heaven, I surrender all positions in life to you in order to become Jesus's faithful servant and to follow him. This body is not my own, but it has been purchased with the blood of Jesus. I want to be in your perfect will, Lord Jesus. Let everything that I do bring glory and honor to you, dear Lord. Teach me to be humble. Train me to be your faithful servant. Amen. Of course, if you need to repeat this or you didn't get it all, you can pause the video and go back and say it out loud. You need to say it out loud because what's going on around you is the kingdom of God is there. So, you have the throne room where God is judge. He's righteous and he's up there. And then you have D uh the devil over here accusing you of whatever it is that you've done. You have Jesus standing next to you because you repented and you said, "Okay, Lord, I'm going to be obedient. I call on the name of the Jes the son of God, Jesus, and I repent and I ask him to be my Lord and Savior." So Jesus now is covering you. So here's the devil accusing you of whatever it is. And you repented. And so Jesus is saying to God, I accept hers or his repentance and those things are no longer active. So God's up there in the throne room looking at what you did. He crosses it out with the blood of Jesus says, "Yep, you're clean, saved, and whole." And the devil is frustrated because he can't do anything. And now you get to move forward like Jesus under his obedience. And every time you move forward, you do it in prayer. It starts in the secret place with the Lord. When you're in the secret place with the Lord, you are praying behind the scenes for those folks at your grocery store, for your neighbors, for your government, for your teachers and the education system, for the entertainment system, for your life, for your family and friends. And what you're doing is you say, "Lord, I atone for them. I stand in their shoes and I lift up my hands with them and I say on their behalf, Lord, forgive me. Be my Lord and Savior. Come into my heart and forgive me and help me walk in the living word of God." You see, when you are praying on their behalf, the strong angels now move forward to those people. They start fighting the demons off and the demons are saying no no no no no I have a contract here and see the first thing you do is because you say Lord forgive me of my sins the contract becomes nullified and so they have the demons have to let go in fact you could even go further and say demons get below my feet I bind you with feathers of iron preventing you from interfering in my family's life my workplace co-workers my neighborhood You say all of that. You bind that devil. You put him below your feet. And you can go one step further and say, "Lord, rebuke you." And here's the best part because you get to execute judgment. And like Psalm 149 said, I've already taught on this. You get to tell you because you're starting with forgiveness. You're actually asking God to open their ears and eyes, hearts and minds to he to see, hear, and and receive and believe the living word of God. because you're asking them to do that. There's forgiveness there. So, you're asking God, give them the opportunity to receive repentance because God will give them that opportunity. But I promise you, there are going to be some that are still rebelling, rejecting, and blasphemy the Holy Spirit because you're dealing with people that the devil has gotten into so bad. They're stuck there. And whether they're going to stay there or not, that's between God and them. But what you get to do is you give them that opportunity and then you go to the Lord and said Lord if they continue to reject you then Lord rebuke them and God will take care of them. This is why we have the consequences of sin which is uh cancer diseases people dying before their time should be. You see, these are the things that unbelievers or people rejecting God blatantly and rejecting the Holy Spirit, those are the things they have to deal with until they repent. And then your life turns around remarkably. You won't have those curses upon you because that's the way God works. I encourage each and every one of you to get into the secret place with the Lord and one, open the Bible and read what God is telling you. to pray. You have a calling. Every believer has a calling of prayer in their lives. God may take you further up to your calling, but I promise you, you need to be obedient to the heavenly father and the calling he has in your life because he needs you in place in lie of Jesus who had to go home in spirit. We're the ones still in the flesh and we're the ones that need to serve in the name of Jesus. Hallelujah. Let's close in a word of prayer. Father God, we thank you for your word. We thank you for showing us how to live your word, how to pray, how to submit and humble ourselves before you, how to be a servant, how to call on you and to be obedient to the calling you have in our lives and wh Previous Next Home

SEVEN SPIRITS OF GOD The objective of this teaching is to help believers understand the significance of the seven spirits of God described in Revelation, how they are connected to the authority and victory of Christ, and how this same spiritual empowerment is available to every believer today. It encourages Christians to walk fully in their identity, to be watchful, diligent, and steadfast in faith, so they may conquer spiritual battles, overcome dual living, and operate in the authority given through Jesus Christ. SEVEN SPIRITS OF GOD Minister Lisa Kane December 29, 2024 Objective: The objective of this teaching is to help believers understand the significance of the seven spirits of God described in Revelation, how they are connected to the authority and victory of Christ, and how this same spiritual empowerment is available to every believer today. It encourages Christians to walk fully in their identity, to be watchful, diligent, and steadfast in faith, so they may conquer spiritual battles, overcome dual living, and operate in the authority given through Jesus Christ. Synopsis: In this teaching, Lisa Kane examines the meaning of the seven spirits of God as revealed in Revelation 4:5 and 5:6, highlighting how Jesus, the Lamb of God, possessed them and through His victory has made them available to all believers. She connects this reality to the church of Sardis in Revelation 3, showing how Christians can appear alive yet spiritually dead when distracted by the world, living with one foot in the Lord and one in the world. Believers are exhorted to be watchful, strengthen what remains of their faith, repent, and remember the authority given to them in Christ. Through the example of Joshua and the priests at Jericho, Lisa illustrates how the seven spirits symbolize divine power and intercession, equipping believers to stand firm, blow the trumpet of warning, intercede for others, and bring down spiritual walls through the name of Jesus. The message emphasizes that even if a believer feels unworthy or distant, the authority of Christ remains within them through the Holy Spirit. By confession, repentance, faith, and speaking the Word, Christians can walk in deliverance, healing, and victory. Ultimately, this teaching calls believers to embrace their role as priests, live watchfully, and operate in the fullness of the seven spirits of God, remembering always that they are more than conquerors through Christ. Inspired Teaching - Written and/or Transcribed from Video Above: Hello and welcome to the House of Faith Ministries. I'm Lisa Kain and I'm recording this teaching on Sunday, December 29th, 2024. Welcome. Let's open up in a word of prayer. Father God, we thank you for your word. Oh Lord, your word is so good, so filling. Let it be planted in our hearts and minds. Let our hearts and minds be prepared to hear your word that we receive it and it does not leave us. that we speak your word, that we apply your word, that we live by your word, and that your word encompass us through and through. Thank you for your word, and thank you for the power of your anointing and the name of Jesus and teaching us how to be more than a conqueror. In Jesus name we pray. Amen. Amen. I'm so glad you are here. I can't believe it's December 29, 2024, but it is. This will be my last teaching for 2024. We have so many teachings on our website. I hope you're blessed by the material. You know, if there's something that really touched you, communicate. Send me a message. Let's talk. And if there's questions you have, ask. Amen. All right. This teaching is going to be very cool, very interesting. And oh, I'm so excited about it. It's called the seven spirits of God. Let's go to our opening scripture here in Revelation 4:5 and Revelation 56. uh verse five in chapter four. And out of the throne proceeded lightnings and thunderings and voices and there were seven lamps of fire burning before the throne which are the seven spirits of God. And then in chapter 5 verse six and I beheld and lo in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts and in the midst of the elders stood a lamb as they had been slain having seven horns and seven eyes which are the seven spirits of God sent forth into all the earth. What are the seven spirits of God? This is very interesting because the lamb Jesus had has them. He has the seven eyes. He has the seven horns and he has this um thing that Jesus did which is to redeem us which he overcame. He conquered Satan. He conquered this world. He died. It may look like he didn't conquer it. You know, he was crucified. And at the time of his crucifixion when he was buried, he rose from the grave three days later, conquering it and having victory. Amen. That is what Jesus had. Now we the same spirit that was in Christ that raised him from the dead is going to raise us from the dead too. We have this opportunity of these seven spirits of God to be within us because we are co-join hes with Christ. We're adopted into the family as believers in Christ. So as a result, we have these seven spirits. So if Jesus had it, we have it. And that means we are more than conquerors because Jesus had the seven spirits of God and he conquered Do you want to conquer? But we're talking I'm going to be talking to a specific audience today. We're going to go talk about the church of Sardis. Let's go to Revelation 3:es 1-6. Says, "Unto the angel of the church in Sardis, write these things he that hath the seven spirits of God." Seven spirits of God. Look at this. And the seven stars. I know thy works. Wait a minute. So, we have the seven spirits of God and the stars. Yes, we do. Because we're believers in Christ. The moment that you confess Jesus as your Lord and Savior, that's what you have. Well, look at this. I know thy works that thou hast name that thou livest and are dead or a corpse. How could you have the seven spirits of God and be alive and dead at the same time? Isn't that very interesting? Who's he talking to? So, he's talking about believers who are alive and dead at the same time. Let's continue on. I want you to see. He's telling you to be watchful and strengthen the things which remain that are ready to die off. This is the audience he's talking to. You have a foot in the world and a foot in the Lord. You have asked the Lord to be your Lord and Savior. And if you recall my testimony that I've shared many times here, there were times I'd be on fire for God, months or years at a time, and then all of a sudden months would go by. God was a I I never thought of him. Never even prayed, nothing. That was my early days as a young woman. And I'm going to tell you, you don't realize it. It's happening, but you're you're living two worlds. And so what he's saying here, he's telling you that you have the seven stars, the seven spirits and the seven stars. You have this is yours. So he's telling you to be watchful. There are many people I know, believers and unbelievers, who want to put their head in the sand and don't want to watch the news. They don't want to know what's going on in the world. Well, guess what? Jesus says you need to be watchful. One of the reasons why you're not alive as a believer in Christ, which you ought to be, which you still have the authority, you just don't know it yet, is because you're not watching. Now, this is not an end times teaching video. We're actually going to be talking about deliverance here. But I want you to see that he's telling believers you need to be watchful. That's first thing you need to be doing because how can you understand what the Holy Spirit is telling you if you don't know what it's going to be applied for. He's, you know, this is one of the ways that the Lord communicates with us is through the acts of the world. We're to watch the unbelievers. Watch the unbelievers and watch what they're doing. That tells you a whole lot about where we are in end time events. So, he's telling you to be watchful. And then he says to strengthen the things which remain that are ready to die off. What does that mean? Now strengthen means to be resolute, confirm, establish, and then it's the remnant. There are things that you have like the authority that you have in Jesus that you're not using. And he's saying it's about ready to die off. And he's telling you to strengthen it. Which what does that word strengthen mean? to turn resolutely, confirm, establish. How can you establish the authority of the name of Jesus if you haven't been practicing it in the secret place with the Lord or you haven't been reading the scripture? You don't even know what scripture to quote because you're not watching it. You're not watching. You're not letting it fill you up because you're living two lives. Yes, you're a believer in Christ, but you're going to lose your resolute that that um yearning in you that you want something and you're going to fight for it. You know, there are some people who have this mind. They know absolutely no. I'm never getting cancer. I'm never going to get sick. And there are people who have never been sick in their entire life. They just don't get sick because in their mind, they don't get sick. You have that authority, by the way. You're just not using it. And he's telling you to shrink these strengthen these things off. They're about to die. That's what he says. Says, "For I have not found thy works perfect or leveled up satisfied before God." Your works are they're actually what's holding you back. You're not working for him or you're doing the minimal that you could and you're about to lose this. Watch this in verse three. Remember therefore how thou hast received and heard and hold fast and repent. He's telling you, go back to the day that you repented. Remember what you did. You were excited about the Lord. You came to the Lord and you were thrilled. You got water baptized. You were flying high on cloud nine. You were just way up there. And that word repent there means to think differently. All of a sudden, you're thinking differently because the Holy Spirit is now working in your mind, but the busyiness of the world has come in and distracted you or for some reason you're just not spending time with the Lord. You're not watching, you're not being diligent. You're one foot in, one foot out. And he's telling you to get out of this funk of being dual, you know, serving the devil and serving God. And by the way, Christians do serve the devil. just don't realize it. Anytime you complain or you judge somebody, that's doing the devil's job for him. Let him do his own job. We can we can do it's hard enough to do our own job without doing his job, too, right? So, let him do his own job. Says, "If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come on thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I come upon thee." By the way, you will know the hour of when the Lord returns. The scripture in Matthew 24 where it says, "No one knows the day nor the hour." Let me tell you, heard great teaching on that the other day. I wasn't going to share this, but I'm going to share it. Uh he was teaching how it's it's an Israeli thing. And when they're looking for the new moon, which is just right after sunset and dusk is is settling in, the sliver of the new moon will come up on the horizon. You have to be up high on a wall to see this, by the way. So when you become a believer, you are lifted up and you're like a light on the city, uh the city, the hill of the city. You are up there. Well, you the priests get up there and they're looking for that sliver of that new moon, but if they don't see it that day, they have to come back the next day. They don't know the day nor the hour because they don't know when the lunar calendar will begin. That's very interesting, isn't it? Let's continue on. So, you are a priest as someone who's in Christ. And if you're only doing stuff for yourself and you're not watching, you're not interceding, you still have authority in him. You still have his authority. Look at this. Let me show you that. But you you will be unaware of things going on because let's finish verse three. If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come on thee as a thief and thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee. Verse four, thou hast a few names, authority, character, even in Sardis, which have not defiled or soiled their garments. Whoa, wait a second here. You still have authority because you're a believer in Christ. You have the seven spirits of God in you. You have the stars in you. This is your gift that Christ gave you when you became a believer. you're just not practicing it. So, he's telling you, I want you to watch. I want you to pay attention. I want you to be that priest that's up on that hill. I want you to intercede for people because I want you to speak on your behalf and the authority that I've given you. And then I want you to speak on their behalf and the authority I've given you because you need to intercede for people. That's our responsibility by the way as believers in Christ. And then to not defile our garments. See, there are people even even if you're distracted, you're you're not living for Christ. You're not going after de uh devilish things. You're not going after um evil things. You're trying to be as good as you possibly can. So, you're not defiling your garments. You're not going after false gods and so so forth. They shall walk with me in white, for they are worthy. You see, you are worthy still. Sometimes we just have to remember and repent before the Lord and think differently. See, a lot of us too as believers, what's the first thing we do? We hear the doctor tell you something bad news. You believe it. When hey, wait a minute. I got the authority and the seven spirits of God is in me and was in Christ who raised the same spirit in Christ that was in Christ that raised him from the dead is going to do the same thing for me. Well then in that particular case I had the authority still even if I haven't been walking with him. So I have the chance to turn my mind from not listening to the doctor and listening to God. I still have that ability. And that is who I'm talking to is that particular audience today. You're you're not sure. You're like I I'm bad. I've been unworthy. I I can't do any. Yes, you can. You have that authority and you are more than a conqueror. We'll get to that. Says, "He that overcomemeth, subdue, conquer, the same shall be clothed in white raignment." See, you can overcome. Imagine, you know, uh there's things that the human body does is remarkable. Uh you're in a car accident, a car pins somebody down, that person can lift that car up and get that person out. That adrenaline, it's something that goes in our mind where, oh, I just got to lift this car and you do it. You don't even think twice. You don't think about a as yourself as a weak person or you just like, uh-uh, I got to save this person. And you're so focused on saving that person that you don't even realize you're lifting a car. Like Peter when he got out of the boat and he's walking on the water, he's like, "Hey." And then he realizes he he all of a sudden becomes aware, I'm walking the water. and he starts to sink. It's when you focus on Christ and you're going to stay above the water because you are an a conqueror. You are conquering the situation, whatever it may be. And I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my father and before his angels. He that hath an ear, let him hear what the spirit saith unto the churches. So Jesus is very clearly telling us we have this ability even if you're half and half in the word and uh not walking quite 100% with the Lord, you have the authority to stand forth in his word. And I hope that you get that because the fact that you're coming and searching me out to even listen to a message online outside of the church as an additional teaching, you're seeking, you're looking for something. understand that you have the authority to overcome. And if you have never confessed Jesus as your Lord and Savior and now you're interested, it's very easy to do. You just simply you can pause the video. You just say, "Jesus, I'm sorry." Because you know what? We have to acknowledge that we messed up and and we have. You just say, "Jesus, I'm sorry." and you just say, "I want to become a believer in you." And I'm speaking out to you because I I'm believing that you're alive. And as soon as you do that, your name is written in the Lamb's book of life. And then you can choose to be water baptized and then go walk in the anointing of the Holy Spirit. Take that and do it. He says to be watchful. And you need to be watching and aware of what's coming. You've got to be up on that city hill and be watching. Why? Because as a priest, what do priests do when you're watching? They'll blow the trumpet. Let's let's go see this principle in action because I think this is so fascinating seeing the seven spirits of God work. That's what this teaching is about. So, watch this. We're going to go to Joshua chapter 3, excuse me, chapter 6:es 3 and 4. And ye shall compass the city, all ye men of war. He's talking to the nation of Israel. And go round about the city once. Now, he's talking about Jericho. So he's coming in and he's going to be marching around the city. So he's telling, let me break it, let me finish reading scripture. I'll break it down. Thus shalt thou do six days. Verse four, and seven priests, the word priest, their sacred full one. So when you make a commitment with the Lord and you're not walking half and half, even though half and half, you still have your authority. But the moment you come together as one, now you're not just praying on your behalf and trying to take care of yourself and keep yourself from the enemy. you're also praying for others. That's when everything shifts, changes. Watch this. Says, "And the seven priests shall bear before the ark, seven trumpets of ram's horns, and the seventh day ye shall compass revolve surround the city seven times, and the priest shall blow with the trumpets." So, what's going on here? So, Joshua has crossed over the Jordan River. He's there. The whole nation of Israel is now in the promised land. God has given them the promised land. So at this point, God says, "I'm going to give you the city of Jericho. This the way you're going to take this city is you're going to march around the city once per day. Nobody can speak a word. Trumpets will blow." Let's let's let's digress a little bit and let's talk about trumpets. There's a feast called Rashashana or the feast of trumpets. Not very much spoken about this. the priests will blow the trumpet hundred times and um that's really the the priests the the Israeli priests have their thing with that but in all reality that has to do with the rapture that has to do with end times but what is the point of blowing a trumpet why do you have to blow a trumpet well if you're that priest and you're up on that wall and you're watching and you see the enemy coming, you blow the trumpet, you're telling the people, "Get ready for battle." So, when that trumpet is blown for the day, the rapture, the day of the Lord that comes, and he's going to blow seven trumpets in that that time period, seven-year time period where all that's going on. I'm not going to teach on that right now. But what's going to happen is he removes the church because God says, "I'm doing the battle. I'm going to battle. So the trumpet is just for us to be watching and be aware of that he's coming. So now these priests are told to march around the city once blow the trumpet and they do that for six days. So the seventh day now Joshua told him, I don't want you to say a word and until I tell you to shout. You don't do anything until I tell you to shout. So down in verse 20 in in chapter 6 he tells them to shout and this is what happens when they shout. This is on the seventh day after the seventh time they walked around the wall. So the people shouted or this means to mar split the ears when the priests blew with the trumpets. And it came to pass when the people heard the sound of the trumpet and the people shouted with a great great shout shout that the wall fell down flat. So that the people went up into the city, every man straight before him, and they took the city. What is the seven spirits of God? The seven priests who represented the seven spirits of God blew the trumpet. They are the ones who alerted. Jesus was blowing the trumpet and letting us know what's going on. And that trumpet is going, the last trump is going to blow. And when it does, we're going to go. But look what happened here. The walls fell down. Watch this in deliverance. Now imagine you are dealing with a spiritual matter. Somebody has cancer in your family or something. This is something we're dealing with here personally in our personal testimony dealing with my mom and this cancer. Well, one of the things that we have the opportunity to do is we are priest priestesses where we are interceding on behalf of others. We can march around that wall that issue could be finances. We had the name of Jesus who is who has the seven spirits of God. And so when you practice bringing in the the seven spirits of God, the name of Jesus, you come in and you apply the name of Jesus on that situation. And what happens is you come to the I thank you, Lord. Psalm 107 tells you when you go to come back from a troubled situation, you're coming back and you're saying, Lord, I'm sorry. Then you say, "I thank you for getting me out of the situation I'm in." The moment that you do that, the walls fall down. Your mountain, whatever it may be, falls down. And I'm not kidding you. Sicknesses, diseases, everything has to run from the name of Jesus. You have to get that in your mind and understand that the power and the authority you have, even if you're only living one foot in the world and one foot out, you can say in the name of Jesus, and every demon has to run, every sickness has to run, every wall must fall down. The people shouted, "This is when you get to shout. Shout your victory." and those walls come tumbling down because it's already done. Who fights your battles for you? Christ. He's fighting the battles for you. So when that rapture happens, we come home in our perfect new bodies. We're the bride of Christ. We come in and we are complete in him. and he takes care of the battle down on the earth. And we already know he he sends a small angel to go take care of the devil and and we'll be standing there looking at the devil going that small thing is what bugged us all this time. You get this thinking in your mind where you are, I'm going to walk in the authority that I have. I'm not going to believe what's in the world. I'm going to believe what God has. What a change this does. Look at 1 John 4:4. Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome you, conquered, you prevail them because greater is he that is in you than he that is in the world. Oh, we have this authority and we have the seven spirits of God in us that will teach us and show us how to battle, praise, and worship. the trumpets as a musical instrument went first. Imagine learning the principles of singing a song and praising the Lord and then coming in with the name of Jesus. And remember what he said, I give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven. Whatever you bind on earth is bound in heaven. Whatever you loose on earth is loosed in heaven. Now imagine taking that key and you are applying it here on earth. And what you do here on earth when you're shouting and you have your trumpet blown, you're acting that priest. You have both feet in the Lord. You're not only keeping yourself protected, but you're also interceding on those behind you, but uh around you that couldn't do it for themselves, but they can if they wanted to. But you can intercede on their behalf. And when you do, you can actually see the Holy Spirit move through them. change them, transform them. And you can see how God shows us we are more than conquerors. And all it takes is think differently. Repent, which is think differently. Don't think on the world, think on the Lord. And and it comes with confession, too. Romans 10:9 that if you confess if thou if thou confess if thou shalt confess let me read it correctly which means a covenant or acknowledge with thy mouth the Lord Jesus you're saying all right Lord Jesus I'm confessing that you are Lord over cancer you are Lord over my finance I've taught this many times you are Lord over this body as soon as you start doing that and believe and shalt believe or have faith in thy heart where Their thoughts and feelings are that God has raised or awakened him from the dead. You see, Jesus came out of the grave and he's alive. And a lot of people think, "No, no, no. That man's already dead. He was a good prophet. He did good things." But no, you have to believe that God woke him up, got him out of the grave. So, as you confess Jesus, you're saying, "All right, Jesus. So, you're alive. All right. If this is real, I I'm calling on you. I'm going to be genuine here and I don't know what I'm doing, but I'm going to trust in you because I I have nowhere else to go. I have no what else to I can do. And when you do that, Jesus will show himself to you and be revealed. And look what he says. He says, "Raised him from the dead. Thou shalt be saved." That word saved there means delivered, protected, healed, preserved. That's what God does for you. That's the seven spirits of God. You have that authority. Even if you don't think that you do, if you've called on Jesus, you have his name. You have his authority. These seven spirits, the same spirit that was in Christ that raised Christ from the dead is in you to raise you from the dead. The church of Sardis was alive and dead at the same time. They're walking on this earth, but they're dead because they're not watching. They're not paying attention. They're not acting the name of Jesus. They're not applying it. They're not in scripture. But you still have the authority. You have the authority because God didn't leave you. He's working with you. In fact, the fact that you're listening to this teaching tells me he's working in you. And he brought you to this teaching to encourage you and to lift you up and to let you know he's not forgotten you, that he's not let go of you. You tried to move away from him, but he's been there with you the entire time. And by the way, you know this. You're just being reminded of it. How amazing is it to have God not leave us? He keeps us. This is what power and authority that we have is to stay in his presence. And every time you spend time in his presence, in his word, just absorbing it and you you try to and you start expressing, you start quoting scripture. I mean, before you know it, you'll be quoting scriptures. I promise you that. But as you do that, you begin to take your authority. You begin to be that priest who's not only taking care of yourself, you're taking care of those around you. And you're on the wall watching and waiting. You're diligent. You're looking what's going on, Lord. You're just watching. You're waiting. You're spending time in the spirit where you are hearing him and he's showing you things in dreams and visions. That's what this is about. Because remember, his plan is still in the works, not about our plan. His plan, he has his perfect thoughts for us. And his will for us is just to believe in him. That's all you you you keep wondering what what's your what what do you want me to do, Lord? He says, I just want you to believe. You know what the word believe means is to have faith. He does say we can have faith even as small as a mustard seed. And with that faith, we can stand in the name of Jesus and walk in that authority. Let's close in a word of prayer. Father God, we thank you for your word. Thank you for reminding us of the authority that we have. Thank you for reminding us how to be watchful and diligent. Thank you for reminding us to get both our feet in you. Thank you for reminding us of who you are, what you have done. Thank you for reminding us that we have the ability to walk free of sickness and diseases, free of conflict of of being torn apart. We have your healing and protection around us because you are our deliverer and you have taught us how to be more than conquerors. And I pray, Father God, that we begin walking with the seven spirits of you. That we begin naming the name of Jesus and the authority that we have over our situations and calling out the name of Jesus for you are great and you are greater in than this world. So we acknowledge that. We pull you into our hearts and we want you in here, Father God, walking and changing us and helping us walk in that change, helping us talk to you, helping us have that relationship with you. Thank you, Lord. Thank you, Lord. In the name of Jesus, we pray. Amen. Amen. God bless you and I will see you next year. Bye. Home Previous Next

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

THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS To help believers understand the covenant name of Jesus—The Lord Our Righteousness—as the guarantee of God’s covenant with humanity. The lesson aims to show how Jesus, as the Faithful and True executor of the covenant sealed by His blood, alone provides righteousness for mankind. It also emphasizes the certainty of His soon return and urges believers to hold fast to the promises of the covenant without being swayed by doubt or false teachings. THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS Pastor Marcos Marrero Objective: To help believers understand the covenant name of Jesus—The Lord Our Righteousness—as the guarantee of God’s covenant with humanity. The lesson aims to show how Jesus, as the Faithful and True executor of the covenant sealed by His blood, alone provides righteousness for mankind. It also emphasizes the certainty of His soon return and urges believers to hold fast to the promises of the covenant without being swayed by doubt or false teachings. Synopsis: Jeremiah 23:6 reveals Jesus’ covenant name, The Lord Our Righteousness, which points to His role as the righteous executor of God’s covenant. Unlike humanity, which has continually broken the covenant, Jesus fulfilled every requirement perfectly through His blood sacrifice, ensuring the forgiveness of sins and right standing with God. Scripture portrays Him as Faithful and True, bound to the Word of God and faithful to bring every promise to completion—including His return to establish His Kingdom. The teaching stresses that many voices today deny the reality of Christ’s physical return, but the covenant leaves no room for spiritualized or metaphorical interpretations. Just as He ascended, He will return visibly in the clouds, and every eye will see Him. Believers are reminded not to be deceived but to cling to the covenant, for not one word of it will fail. In the last days, scoffers will question His coming, yet this itself is a sign of His nearness. Ultimately, The Lord Our Righteousness is our guarantee: He has taken away our sins, given us His righteousness, and will soon return to reign as King of kings and Lord of lords. This truth should inspire reverence for God’s covenant, faith in His promises, and hope in the certainty of Christ’s imminent return. Inspired Teaching: Jeremiah 23:6 “In His days Judah will be saved, and Israel will dwell safely; now this is His name by which He will be called: THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS.” Jeremiah inspired by the Holy Spirit gives us insight into the reign of the Lord during the Kingdom Age, and through the inspiration of the Holy Spirit he reveals to us the name by which Jesus will be called during His glorious reign. THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS is Jesus’ covenant name. A covenant is a legal document that guarantees the execution of those things which are stipulated within the covenant. What that means is that the executor of the covenant has to meet all of the requirements of the covenant in order to bring about their fulfillment. Revelation 19:11 “Now I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse. And He who sat on him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and makes war.” God is God, and in His dealings with men He can do to men whatever He wants to do, and whenever He wants to do it, good or bad, for after all we are His creation and we are all subject to Him. But notice the name that precedes the righteousness of Jesus actions, we read that He is also called Faithful and True. Which means that God follows a carefully laid out plan in His dealings with men, a covenant if you will, to which God swears Himself to uphold. Where is that covenant found? Revelation 19:13 “He was clothed with a robe dipped in blood, and His name is called The Word of God.” Keep in mind that a biblical covenant requires the shedding of blood as a seal of its surety. So we see that THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS is Faithful and True to The Word of God, the covenant, and as a guarantee of His ability to implement all the provisions of the covenant He is clothed with a robe dipped in blood. How beautiful and how perfect is The Word of God! Revelation 19:16 “And He has on His robe and on His thigh a name written: KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.” He is KING ALMIGHTY GOD, and He is LORD OVER ALL THE CREATION, and still He follows the carefully crafted plan laid out in God’s Word, what He calls His covenant with men. Since God has such great respect towards the covenant that He instituted with Adam and his seed, should we not, the seed of Adam, have as much respect and a desire to understand the counsel that God Himself follows: the covenant that God made with man as written in His Word? Human history, in regards as to how good we humans are at keeping God’s covenant, is not a good one. Hosea 6:7 “Like Adam, they have broken the covenant—they were unfaithful to me there.” NIV Not only does the human race in general have a history of breaking the covenant—the Word of God—but also those through whom the words of the covenant were supposed to be lived out—Israel and Judah—have a history themselves of forsaking God’s covenant. Jeremiah 22:8-9 “And many nations will pass by this city; and everyone will say to his neighbor, ‘Why has the Lord done so to this great city?’ Then they will answer, ‘Because they have forsaken the covenant of the Lord their God, and worshipped other gods and served them.’” If there is one thing that we humans lack is the ability to do the right thing. Romans 3:10 “As it is written: There is none righteous, no, not one.” So that the executor of the covenant had to be righteous and a descendant of Adam, a human, who Himself would be able to impute of His own righteousness to His human brethren who lacked it, and in accordance with God’s covenant as stipulated in His Word. Romans 11:27 “For this is My covenant with them, when I take away their sins.” This is why He is called THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS, for our righteousness, or right standing before God, comes from Him and Him alone, our kinsman redeemer. Hebrews 2:12-13 “Saying: ‘I will declare Your name to My brethren; in the midst of the assembly I will sing praise to You.’ And again: ‘I will put My trust in Him.’ And again: ‘Here am I and the children whom God has given Me.’” Hebrews 8:12 “For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their lawless deeds I will remember no more.” Now why am I emphasizing that which should be very clear to all of us who believe? I want us to focus afresh on the covenant, especially as it relates to His soon return. For there are many voices out there that are trying to persuade true believers that the parts of the covenant that deal with His soon return and the setting up of His Kingdom Age, that they are not relevant anymore. Let me ask you, which part of the covenant did Jesus leave unfulfilled? Or is there any of you who believe that the covenant does not apply to the Kingdom Age as in regards to us His saints, ruling and reigning with him during the Kingdom Age? Revelation 1:6-7 “And has made us kings and priests to His God and Father, to Him be glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen. Behold, He is coming with clouds, and every eye will see Him, even they who pierced Him. And all the tribes of the earth will mourn because of Him. Even so, Amen.” What part of He is coming with clouds don’t they understand? Some say that His return is a metaphor and that His church is already here on earth ruling and reigning over the affairs of men. Then tell me, if you know, where is the One who will be called THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS when His kingdom is set up? Is He here in the earth right now, if He is, then why are we still in our sins? John 14:2-3 “In My Father’s house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And If I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also.” Acts 1:11 “...Men of Galilee, why do you stand gazing up into heaven? This same Jesus, who was taken up from you into heaven, will so come in like manner as you saw Him go into heaven.” Revelation tells us that every eye will see Him when He returns in the clouds of glory, I have eyes, mine eyes have not seen Him return yet, and neither have yours. Jesus told us that when He physically returns, He will receive us unto Himself, we are not with Jesus yet, so that He has not returned as of this writing. Do not be cheated out of your portion of the covenant my friends. Not one jot or tittle of His covenant Word will be omitted or left unfulfilled. Matthew 5:18 “For assuredly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one tittle will by no means pass from the law (covenant) till all is fulfilled.” In one of the epistles it tells us about the inquiries of those who lacked faith, as they asked, where is this coming that we heard so much about? 2 Peter 3:3-4 “Knowing this first: that scoffers will come in the last days, walking according to their own lusts, and saying, ‘Where is the promise of His coming? For since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of creation.’” In the last days they will be scoffing at His promised return which is a sign, according to God’s Word, that we are living in the days of Jesus’ soon return to set up His kingdom. Jeremiah 23:20 “The anger of the Lord will not turn back until He has executed and performed the thoughts of His heart (the contents of His covenant). In the latter days you will understand it perfectly.” I laid out to you the basics of the covenant, and how important it is from God’s perspective, that we understand the rigidity of the covenant. And since we are living in the latter days where we have the ability to comprehend the entirety and surety of the covenant, by the things which God has already fulfilled, then we should not have any problem understanding perfectly about the soon return of Christ to complete those things that are yet to be resolved. How do you see God? Does He feel near to you or is He far from you? Jeremiah 23:23-24 “‘Am I a God near at hand,’ says the Lord, ‘and not a God afar off? Can anyone hide himself in secret places, so I shall not see him?’ Says the Lord; ‘Do I not fill heaven and earth?’ Says the Lord.” Previous Next Home

Synopsis: The Lord Waits highlights the divine truth that God patiently waits for humanity to receive His mercy and grace through Jesus Christ, the only One who dispenses justice and salvation by His sacrifice. Isaiah’s promise—“blessed are all those who wait for Him”—frames the message: God not only delays judgment to offer mercy but also attaches a special blessing to those who eagerly await Christ’s return. This blessing is revealed in a three-fold promise: the removal of sorrow and restoration of hope, the assurance that God hears and answers our cries, and the anointing of spiritual discernment through trials. Scriptures from Isaiah, Philippians, Hebrews, and Revelation reinforce that waiting upon the Lord strengthens believers, secures their hope in eternal restoration, and deepens their spiritual walk. Ultimately, the message calls Christians to wait patiently, faithfully, and joyfully for the Savior, knowing that every delay refines their character, renews their strength, and prepares them for the eternal glory of Christ’s return. Would you like me to also create a shorter version of the synopsis (2–3 sentences) that you could use as a quick description for a sermon, article, or video? Inspired Teaching: For our citizenship is in heaven, from which we also eagerly wait for the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, who will transform our lowly body that it may be conformed to His glorious body, according to the working by which He is able even to subdue all things to Himself. Isaiah 30:18 “Therefore the Lord will wait, that He may be gracious to you: and therefore He will be exalted, that He may have mercy on you. For the Lord is a God of justice; blessed are all those who wait for Him.” What a beautiful revelation of God’s grace and mercy toward us, and how He, who patiently waits for us to be ready to receive His mercy and grace, blesses us when we faithfully wait for Him in return—to return. Notice first of all that God is presented here as, For the Lord is a God of justice. And secondly that He is Gracious and May have mercy on you. The Lord waits, that means that He longs for us to be ready to receive His grace and mercy, which can only be received by accepting Jesus as our Savior and Lord. For only in Jesus can the Lord of Justice freely dispense His mercy and His grace to those who do not deserve it. Hebrews 1:8 “But to the Son He says: ‘Your throne, O God, is forever and ever; a scepter of (justice) righteousness is the scepter of Your kingdom.’” Only Jesus can dispense God’s justice—which includes His mercy and His grace—for it was with His own blood that Jesus paid in full the entirety of all human sins. That is why the Lord waits for humans to come to their senses, repent, and receive the mercy and grace that He has made available to all who believe that Jesus Christ died for their sins. Isaiah 30:15 “For thus says the Lord God, the Holy One of Israel: ‘In returning (repentance) and rest you shall be saved; in quietness and confidence shall be your strength.’ But you would not.” The reality is that many choose to reject the Lord’s free offer of salvation. But that does not deter God, for He waits—even to our last breath—for us to enter into His rest. But there is a very specific blessing that is attached to those, who like God who is patient, learn to be patient, and in quietness and confidence wait as the Lord waits, and in the process they end up renewing the strength of their salvation. Isaiah 40:31 “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.” A truth that many Christians do not know, is that God has assigned a very specific blessing to those who eagerly wait for His return: Blessed are all those who wait for Him. Revelation 1:3 “Blessed is He who reads and those who hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written in it; for the time is near.” Revelation 22:20 “He who testifies to these things says, ‘Surely I am coming quickly.’ Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus!” What is this very specific blessing all about? I believe this to be a three-fold blessing that applies to those who eagerly await for the Lord to return and to take them home to be with Him. • The first blessing assures us of the removal of all our sorrows. • The second blessing guarantees that He hears us at the very sound of our cry for help. • The third blessing is an anointing for learning spiritual discernment. Isaiah 30:19 “For the people shall dwell in Zion at Jerusalem; you shall weep no more. He will be very gracious to you at the sound of your cry; when He hears it, He will answer you.” The first-fold blessing is, You shall weep no more! No more sorrows. Isaiah 25:8 “He will swallow up death forever, and the Lord God will wipe away tears from all faces; the rebuke of His people He will take away from all the earth; for the Lord has spoken.” The main root of sorrow is hopelessness; Jesus nailed sorrow on the cross and after He rose from the dead, He spoiled its fruit of hopelessness. Those who truly await the return of Jesus and the resurrection of the saints, have abolished all sorrows from their lives, for sorrow has to do with loss, and every thing that we’ve surrendered to Jesus, He is able to keep safe and secured until it is restored back to us. Matthew 6:20 “But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal.” How can a person who is not even sure that Jesus is physically coming back to this earth, to restore to us all the good things that we have lost for His sake, be without sorrow? For where there is no hope, sorrow remains. Isaiah 65:23 “They shall not labor in vain, nor bring forth children for trouble; for they shall be the descendants of the blessed of the Lord, and their offspring with them.” Clearly Isaiah is referring to the Kingdom Age of which all of God’s saints will be a part of. The first part of the three-fold blessing given to the descendants of the blessed, is the blessing of restoration. So that we do not sorrow like those who have no hope. 1 Thessalonians 4:13-14 “But I do not want you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning those who have fallen asleep (died), lest you sorrow as others who have no hope. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who sleep in Jesus.” Those who eagerly await for the return of Jesus are waiting for the promised restoration as well—no loss, no sorrow! The second-fold blessing has to do with the assurance that God hears us. Isaiah 65:24 “It shall come to pass that before they call, I will answer; and while they are still speaking, I will hear.” Faith comes as the result of that which we are hoping for. Hebrews 11:1 “Now faith is the substance (realization) of things hoped for, the evidence (confidence) of things not seen.” If we dare to believe that Jesus is coming soon to restore all things, and we live our lives based on that hope, then surely, we know that at any point in time—if we cry out to Him—that He will hear us. Ephesians 3:20 “Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us (faith, hope and love).” The third-fold blessing is the anointing for spiritual discernment. Isaiah 30:20 “And though the Lord gives you the bread of adversity and the water of affliction (oppression), yet your teachers will not be moved into a corner anymore, but your eyes shall see your teachers.” If our hope is in the resurrection from the dead and the return of Jesus to implement God’s final restoration, then adversity and affliction are nothing more than teachers that God uses to train us as to the hearing of His voice. Isaiah 30:21 “Your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying, ‘This is the way, walk in it,’ whenever you turn to the right hand or whenever you turn to the left.” Who would have thought that having a firm belief about the soon return of Jesus Christ would be so beneficial to us? It is like waiting to be seated at a crowded restaurant on mother’s day, and they give you a gizmo that lights up and vibrates when your turn has come. Those of us who eagerly await for our Lord to appear have been given an array of very wonderful blessings. Philippians 3:20-21 “For our citizenship is in heaven, from which we also eagerly wait for the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, who will transform our lowly body that it may be conformed to His glorious body, according to the working by which He is able even to subdue all things to Himself.” So, we wait, patiently, hopefully, and faithfully for our Lord to return. But we do so with the hope that everyday that He delays His return, we become more cheerful, more secure in the fact that He hears us, and more intuitive about our high spiritual calling. Isaiah 30:29 “You shall have a song as in the night when a holy festival is kept, and gladness of heart as when one goes with a flute, to come into the mountain of the Lord, to the Mighty One of Israel.” Previous Next Home

SPIRIT OF LEVIATHAN To reveal God’s prophetic timeline and emphasize the importance of recognizing and defeating the spiritual stronghold of Leviathan in preparation for the Third Great Awakening and end-time revival. SPIRIT OF LEVIATHAN Pastor Marcos Marrero July 8, 2024 Objective: To reveal God’s prophetic timeline and emphasize the importance of recognizing and defeating the spiritual stronghold of Leviathan in preparation for the Third Great Awakening and end-time revival. Synopsis: The speaker shares a powerful testimony of divine encounters beginning with a dream on September 2nd, in which repeated numbers and visions pointed to a prophetic countdown of Jubilee and restoration. This led to a series of life shifts, including a move on December 31st, and culminated with a fresh word from the Lord on September 25th declaring, “The new has begun.” He connects these experiences to a larger prophetic framework, including Chuck Pierce’s timeline, identifying this season as the doorway into what may be the Third Great Awakening. Drawing from Isaiah 26–27, the teaching warns of the Leviathan spirit—a serpent-like force that blinds believers, manipulates human DNA, and hinders true worship and revival. Scriptural parallels with Job and the tabernacle illustrate how Leviathan entwines itself within humanity, blocking spiritual illumination and breeding pride. The message emphasizes that God is raising up His people, armed with His mighty sword, to expose and defeat Leviathan. This will unlock unprecedented deliverance, healing, and restoration in preparation for the end-time harvest. The call is urgent: believers must reject fear, pride, and unbelief, embrace their new creation identity in Christ, and step boldly into the season of awakening and revival that God has initiated. Inspired Teaching - Written and/or Transcribed from Video Above: There's been such an anointing. Oh my god. I can't even talk to my wife about the Lord without crying all these couple of weeks. It's just been It just been uh awesome. Uh I'm excited. The reason why I'm so excited is uh September 2nd, I think it was of last year. I was laying down in in my bed and I was dreaming seven times 749 and then count 50. And it just went on all night long. One of the things that just bugs you, bugs you, bugs you all night long. That's all my mind could do. And then right right when the sun was rising up or it was morning, it was like a big old light just flashed with my eyes closed and it was a big old flash card and it said day two. And I had no idea what that was. But then I knew that I was supposed to start counting from the day before, which was either September 7 or September 2nd. 50 50 is Jubilee. By the way, when Jesus came, he says um I came that set the captives free to open the eyes of the blind. And he says, "And to proclaim the year of Jubilee." Jubilee means when everything that has been taken away from you, that has been stalling from you is restored. And then after that, then the Lord says, "Okay, now you wait 70 days." And then I added up and 70 days came out to December 31st. and he wanted me to disengage from everything. And little did we know that in December 24th we found out we were moving and we were out within six days we were out that December 31st we moved. Then all of this year has been a year of of just waiting and waiting and waiting. And then uh on September 25th of this year I'm driving and the Lord says the new has begun. And I got all excited. I didn't know why. And then there was a prophecy that Chuck Pierce gave that began the time set for this year's and it's from September 5th to October 12 which it was yesterday there was a new positioning in the heavens. God is moving things. And then all of a sudden today, the Lord said, you know, remember when I when I told you day two, he says, well, when I told you the new has begun, meaning it's day three or the third awakening, in case you you don't know the history, this nation in the last 500 years have experienced two major revivals which are were called the first awakening and the sec second awakening. So what I believe is going on in the spirit right now, we're ready to enter. I mean, today the 13th, beginning yesterday, the 12th and and it is no coincidence. He had asked me to teach two weeks ago and before even knowing that I'm just getting ready to teach and and the Lord has just given me this revelation that in the spirit at least the door has been open. Now remember when the uh Israelites came into the promised land to go through God had already removed the protection of the enemy, but they did not enter into it because of a bad report. 12 spies went out, 10 gave a bad report, and because of that, they had to wait another 40 years. Well, I don't want to wait another 40 years. I ain't got 40 years. I'm 59. That'll be a be 99. I can't afford 40 years. I want to go now. And and so I believe that that's been my heart. And so, that is what's going on. Now, what I'm going to be teaching on tonight is about the spirit of Leviathan. And I think it goes with what we're talking about. Because Leviathan is a spirit in the Bible, which is what keeps the church blinded. And you know who's the church? Us, the believers. It keeps us blinded. And because of that, then we suffer loss. I got notes. I have I made 10 notes. I I don't know if there's any. If everybody got one, I hope you did. You can follow along. Okay. Isaiah 27:1. And I want to see if I can get through all four pages. So, I'm going to go in in Isaiah 27:1. It says in that day the Lord with his sword and great and strong sword shall punish Leviathan the piercing serpent even Leviathan that crooked serpent and he shall slay the dragon that is in the sea. Now I want you to open your uh uh your Bible to Isaiah 26 and I want you to see the context of this prophecy. In Isaiah 27:1, God says, "In that day, the Lord will punish uh in the NIV says, "In that day, the Lord will punish with his sword, his fierce great and powerful sword, Leviathan, the gliding serpent, Leviathan, the coiling serpent, and he will slay the monster of the sea." Father in heaven, in the name of Jesus, as we come into your presence right now, Father God, I pray your covering over us, Father God, I pray that with the sword of the spirit, which is your great a mighty sword that you will cut down right now, Father God, the course, the whole darkness and blindness and and that keep us bound, Father God, to the old ways. I pray that you will bring revelation that your light will shine into our souls tonight, Father God, and drive away every spirit of fear, every spirit of contentment, every spirit of disbelief and unbelief, and every spirit that will hinder us from receiving the revelation that you have for us in this last day in Jesus name. Amen. Now if you look at uh in Isaiah 26 verse 19 it says but your dead will live their bodies will rise. What is that talking about? The rapture. It's talking about the rapture. The the this chapter 26 is talking about uh when Jesus will will come. It says but your dead will live. Their bodies will rise. You who dwell in the dust mean those who have been dead and buried or being cremated and their dust is some place. He says wake up and shout for joy. Your due is like the dw of the morning the earth will give birth to her death. Speaking about the resurrection. So when Isaiah 27:1 says in that day he's talking about the end times. He's talking about today the heading for this uh uh uh for this chapter is deliverance of Israel. Okay. Was too loud? Oh, okay. Anyway, he's talking about in in in in Isaiah 27 the deliverance of Israel. So, what I believe is that with the end time, right before the rapture comes, God is going to bring the greatest revival that has ever been seen. Because, you know, there's a lot of people that love God and and they want to be with God, but they're so bound by sin. They're so oppressed. Some believers, their minds is so cast down. Their souls are so oppressed and cast down, they cannot even worship or praise God. So God in the end time is going to bring a revelation, a a a lighting up to where we're going to be able to worship God in spirit and in truth and with power. And the word of the Lord will go forth with such power and authority that there's going to be deliverance that people are going to be walking around like Peter and their shadows is going to fall on derelicts that are their mind has been gone and God will bring restoration. Why? Because Leviathan is the spirit that God says, I am raising up a large sword. Hallelujah. And that sword is going to be of my saints and they're going to bring judgment upon this serpent. Okay? Now, who is Leviathan? And and you know, uh uh Leviathan is mentioned in the Bible, I think, six times because he's the number of men. Leviathan represents the strongest demonic spirits that has ever been unleashed against all of humanity. All of the infirmities that we humans suffer and cause other humans to suffer are the direct result of this demons this demon's influence on humankind. This is I believe the the power that messes up all humanity because as we will read on he resides in the waters or in the sea and the sea is always symbolic of humanity. The sea of humanity. All humans are affected by this awful creature. And I believe that the end time revival will begin by God judging him. And look at if if if you see there, Isaiah calls him a dragon and a serpent. Both of those names are applied to Satan directly. He's a serpent. He's a serpent that beguile Eve. By the way, that's where we that's where he came in. Leviathan came in into Eve like he was coil around the tree. her genetic tree uh Eve has passed down that vile creature to every human that's alive today. The only one that wasn't affected by that was Jesus. And that's because Jesus even though it was conceived by a woman, the blood that that that con which is in the semen that the blood that bring conception, it was the Holy Spirit. So that's why when Satan was coming or or Judas was coming had betrayed Jesus, Jesus could say uh the enemy is coming but Satan has nothing in me. But we do know that Satan has something in us. And that is what God wants to deliver out of us this spirit that causes everything that brings troubles into us. So he calls the spirit a dragon and a serpent. And then he calls him the dragon that is in the sea, meaning he's in humanity and he's hidden from the natural view. He affects everybody, but nobody knows uh about it. Notice what it says. The piercing serpent and the crooked serpent is talking about his nature and his working. Uh a serpent, what does a serpent does? Serpent coils itself around. But that is magic. We all know that. But what about the piercing? What does it mean by piercing? Piercing it if I is when you uh let's say like uh uh the female egg when she's about to get fertilized, there's a piercing that breaks into that egg. And as soon as the piercing goes in, it crystallizes and the egg become fertile and it begins to to multiply and give life. Basically what he's talking about this serpent because you see the uh our genetic code when they began to figure out the DNA system they could see the parts but they couldn't match they didn't understand how they could make sense of and it took years and years and years and then finally somebody came with a revelation that if you take the genetic code instead of just trying to put it lineal like that that if you coil it then it makes sense. See, in order for the parts to fit, you got to follow a coal coil or like a wreath. That's what the genetic code is. So, what does a snake take shape of? Of a coil. So, that means that Leviathan gets not just into our soul and not just into a different part. He become the very part of our genetic makeup by coming and piercing himself or his influence into our genetic code. This is why there's birth defects because any genes that he can can transform or pollute becomes deformed becomes faulty. As a matter of fact, the reason why many many many especially Christian can overcome their sins is because their genetic code is predisposed to that certain thing. I mean it is in your genes. It is there and there's nothing that we can seem to do about it. You work hard and you try to do all of these things but the thing is wrap itself around or it coil itself around you to where you just h have been transformed. Basically what it says is you become the person that God never intended for you to be. And so this is why I believe that in this end time God is going to deal with a serpent because you cannot deal with humanity until you deal with a serpent. because the serpent is in the sea. It's in the humanity. Now this uh snake is so terrible as if we could call it that that in Job 41, God spends the whole chapter 40 34 verses from Job chapter uh uh Job 41 from verse one to verse 34 God spends 34 verses telling about him. But I want you to see this because this is the key. In verse one, he says, "Can you pull in the Leviathan with a fish hook or tie him down his thong with a rope?" In other words, God brey by the way, Job is the oldest and most complete manual on deliverance. If you look at the um uh the human soul is made of nine compartments as if it were nine nine uh divisions or nine is one soul but it's like a complex it has different parts in it and I believe it has nine parts. This is why in in in uh Galatians 5:22 and 23 there are nine fruit one but nine different manifestations of that fruit. Love, joy, peace, uh long longsuffering, gentleness, kindness, self-control, faith, and um and what's the last one? Meekness. So our soul is designed to have each one of those spirit fruit operating in it which is what Leviathan does. He takes away the peace. He takes away the joy. He takes away love from us. He takes away the ability to wait patiently on the Lord. He changes our personality. The spirit of God that was breathed into uh uh Adam made him a good and gentle and kind person. And today we see wrath and anger and fear and all of the things. Why? Because the genetic code has been transformed. By the way, that's what Satan was up before the flood. That's why God destroyed all of humankind because of the genetic messing up with the genetic system. But then God gives revelation to Job. Uh the reason why I was talking about that is there's nine fruit of the spirit. There are nine gifts of the spirit and there are nine spiritual blessing. There are 27 books in the New Testament. Three times 9 is 27. That means that everything that we need is in the New Testament. It the the Old Testament is fulfilled in the New Testament. That's why our souls can now be set free because we have this revelation from God. But uh uh the uh um the soul has been so perverted. And so the oldest book of the Bible when God is dealing with Job, what happens to Job? Nine times is Job confronted. First it comes to one friend and he says you sin. It's your fault. That's why God is judgment. The next friend come in, no your children sin and they're the ones. So that's why God got judgment. And then the third spirit comes up which represents itself speaking through Job's friend. And there's nine direct attack on soul. The last one, the ninth one is a new person that comes in that wasn't there Elihoo. And he represents Satan himself. He sounds like God. Everything he said is just like God. That is, I believe, Leviathan himself who actually replaces God in the human soul. So we have a God in our soul which is not the God. And even when we're born again and our spirit is born again, our soul now is controlled or manipulated because his spirit hinders what God wants to do. And so in the book of Job where Job, a righteous man, because this is for Christians, the minute that you accepted the Lord Jesus Christ as your savior, you became righteous. You became holy. You became a saint. Immediately you were saved because God knows our condition and he doesn't judge us in our sins anymore. Romans uh 7:20 says if I do the things that I don't want to do, it's not me who do it but sin that lives in me. So God understand that there our genetic code has been messed up and we've been predisposed to sin and God is saying let me have a hold of you and I'll bring a revelation. I'll bring Lord into your soul and I'm going to drive that spirit that has replaced me in the parts of your soul. And that's what God is dealing with Job. God brought Job through all of those suffering and these men suffered tremendously. And then he God asked him this question. He says, "Can you pull in the Leviathan with a fish hook or tie him down?" God was saying, "Can you get him out or at least shut him up?" Job, since you're so righteous and so holy, you're bragging how you've been uh uh uh you know, attacked and all the things, can you get Leviathan out? and you get rid of that nature that is in your soul or at least shut it up so it doesn't bugs you no more. So God is speaking about deliverance and as we just read it is during our day the day of the resurrection the day of the rapture when God is going to unleash his mighty and fierce attack uh against him. Leviathan on the Strong's concordance means a wreath, animal or a serpent. It means to twine, to unite, to remain, to cleave or to join. And then he is also called uh the constellation of Orion is is named after him. In other words, he's his he's his name that uh since he's a dragon and a serpent, the dragon in the sky. There's a constellation is the constellation of Orion, which usually goes by the name the constellation of the dragon or Draco. And so this is what what God wants us to see. And then like I said in in the uh in the sea everything represents the humanity. Now, one of the stars, the constellation of Orion, has seven major stars. And one of those stars, each each star represents a demon, by the way, because remember, the dragon has seven heads. We'll get that towards the end. But Leviathan has seven heads. So, in the constellation of Orion, there are seven major stars, and that represents the seven heads of Leviathan or the seven manifestations. And God asked Job in Job 38:31, it says, "Can thou bind the sweet influences of the plagus?" And this is in the original King James translation, or lose the bands of Orion, which is Leviathan. And what I want you to see here is that the way the Leviathan comes in is by influence. The piercing that he's talking about, he pierces right into that area of our soul where our mind and our will and our emotions and he begins to exert because to twine. See, his nature is to entwine. And untwin means the two become one. Like when a man and a woman get married, God says the two become one flesh. They are coiled around. They are wrapped around their own twine. And so by coiling himself around our our our nature, our DNA, he begins to exert pressure, but it's not forcible. It's well, one of the one of the heads is not it's an influence. He begins to influence. That's what he did with Eve. Well, doesn't it look good? Wouldn't it be good for food? He begins to influence her way of thinking to where she said, "Wow, yeah, that's right." How many of us got some revelation at some time? Oh yeah, man. That's great. He left the keys on the car. He probably wanted me to take it for a ride. Why not? You were influenced to get into that car and before you know it, you know, you're on the back of it, then put a handcuff on you and you got to do a couple of years. A lot of us are influenced like that. And it didn't begin with evil. We didn't intend to do evil. It was a sweet influence. Oh yeah, man. She looks fine. I won't go there. But he is a spirit that wraps himself around our soul, our very DNA, our very nature. And then he begins to exert influence since he's stronger than us because God asked Job, "Can you pull him out?" Job definitely couldn't pull him out, but God did because Job said, "I heard, but now I seen." And when Job saw it, that's when he got delivered. I know that that thing is big and strong, but God, you're a lot bigger than he is. Glory to God. You are able to deliver me from this. And then when Job went in and prayed for his friends, he was restored. And the three daughters, Jamaima, Karen, Capush, and I don't remember the name of the other one. Each one have a meaning. And the names of the daughter of Job, the only three that are named of the 10 children that God gives them, one means is being stripped off like down, taking all of the bark off your tree. Talking about deliverance, being stripped off. Then he's talking about God bringing restoration. God took Job's DNA strand that had been polluted. God strip it off of that coiling thing that was around him and ripped it out. And it all came when Job was able to see. I heard of you, but now I sing. And God is calling his church in this end time to see. To see that I don't care how big that enemy is, how strong he is, and how bound he's had you or messed you up. That God is stronger. God is bigger. God is more powerful. He is the one that is able to strip that from you. Amen. Now, how can we do it? I mean, if Job, a righteous man that was so blessed in Ephesians 2:6, we're told, "And God raised us up with Christ and seated us up with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus." What that means is that Leviathan operates in the second heaven. He is that one that sets himself to block our prayers from coming up to God. He is in the way to hinder. But when Jesus Christ went onto the cross and he took every sin, every every wrong thing that we humans have ever done because of that sweet influence, because of this genetic uh uh makeup that that has corrupted us. That's why God said there is not one righteous. No, not one single one. There's no one who does good. Why? Because our nature has been transformed. This thing has coiled itself around our very own DNA to where we're predisposed to do wrong. That's our predisposition. But he can only operate on the second realm. But Jesus Christ when he went into the cross, and by the way, the cross represented a connection between heaven and earth or between the second heaven and the physical he the physical earth that we're in. And it was right in that middle that Jesus Christ defeated every foe, every principality and power, stripped them all of all of their power. And then Jesus was able to take a man, a physical man, even Abraham and and and all of those righteous peoples of the Bible, they were down in in in paradise, which was at the center of the earth at that time. And it wasn't until Jesus died on the cross that he went down. He preached to the spirits down there. Ephesians tells us then he led captivity captive. He took the train of all the souls that were in that paradise. They could go now go to heaven. Why could they go to heaven? Because Jesus Christ took the accuser of the brethren, shattered his teeth. He when when he rose up, he kicked him in the mouth. And and uh I think it's Psalm three, he says, "The Lord shatters the teeth of the wicked." He just destroyed his power. And so now we by being born again are on the third heaven. And from down here, we cannot fight him. But from up there we can because you see we're seated. Seated means a place of authority. I am seated now on a place of authority. Jesus says I give you power over I give you authority over all the power of Satan. And he says and and you going to be able to to to trample on snakes that's Leviathan and on scorpions. And he says nothing shall by any means harm you or hurt you. Why? because we have been seated far above principalities and power. And then you say, "Well, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, wait, wait. I still have my my human nature." Well, look at 2 Corinthians 5:17. Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. That means that Jesus Christ changed your DNA. Hallelujah. He gave us a brand new strand of DNA. I don't have to be predisposition to the old things anymore. He has changed my nature. As a matter of fact, read on. He says, "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. Old things have passed away. Behold, take a look. Look." Like Job said, "I heard of you, but now I seen." Behold means look. He says, "Look, look. All things have become new." Anyway, the word for new creation in the Greek means original formation. Our DNA was originally formed to do the will of God. Hallelujah. Our DNA originally was designed to worship God. When when when the cool evening, it would come, Adam and Eve will go like little kids running to daddy God, and they would have a great big old time with him. They were still human. They were still naked, but there was no lie that worked his way into their DNA until the coiling snake on the tree came in and perverted the word of God. And that is when he came in. But when Jesus Christ climb up on that tree and he was nailed himself to that tree, he took our old nature. He took that old Leviathan and he destroyed him. And now we have the new nature. But we need to understand that that new nature is in the spirit. Man has to be brought into the place of everything. See this is why Leviathan is so dangerous because Leviathan blocks blocks our entrance to the holy place. Let me look at my notes. I I don't want to lose anything here. I don't want to get ahead of myself. But let me go. I tried to put as much as as as we could there so that if I don't get through the whole thing at least you can have the notes. Uh I want to read Psalm 425-7. He says why are you cast down oh my soul and why are you disqued within me? Now remember our soul is the part that responds to our physical nature. Our soul uh uh we have spirit, soul, and we're in a body. The soul is connected to our physical body through these senses. Our eyes, our ears, our nose, our mouth, our sense of touch. All of those are connected to the soul. Our soul, that's our personality, gets this information of this physical world. Because the soul and the spirit are both spirit through the human senses. But our soul in his upper part is connected to the spirit of a man and and the spirit of a man is the one that is born again and that is seated in the right hand of the father with Christ Jesus. And the way that our soul connects to the spirit is through intuition and through worship. And so a Leviathan can come in and block our worship to where we cannot come to God. Then our spirit can have everything that God has for us, our healing, our provision, our protection, the plan, the future, the wisdom of God. But yet, if there's something blocking it, and that's what Leviathan does. Uh uh what do you call a uh you know, Roman uh what do you call it? Mythology. In mythology, Leviathodan went by different name. Neptune, Poseidon, different names. He was always involved with with with the sea. And in mythology says that every time there was an eclipse of the sun is because he would wrap himself around and block the sun. And you see the sun or the light for us is our spirit. the the the scripture that you quoted when you were praying. Proverbs 20:27, the spirit of a man, that's our human spirit, is a candle of the Lord and he searched all of the inward parts of the heart. He looks inside. So in order for me to know what is it that is in me that predisposes me to do certain things that I don't want to do, I need to have a time with God. My spirit needs to worship God, needs to come in communion to God, needs to get the revelation from God. And then my soul has to have a good connection with my spirit. In other words, God takes my spirit which lives in the same place where the soul lives in the heart and like a flashlight he begins to search. H I see something dark over here in this corner. And then in our soul there's no knobs any of the doors. All of the knobs are on the inside. Revelation 3 uh 20 Jesus says, "Behold, I stand at the door and knock." So he comes in who's there? He wants to know because what's in that dark room is affecting your life. It's affecting your walk. And that's what deliverance is all about. Bringing light because the Lord is light. Where the spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. The spirit of the Lord brings light. And the light makes all of the creatures of darkness flee because darkness cannot comprehend or overcome the spirit of the living God. So we have to have a good communication with God through our spirit and there had to be a connection between our soul and God in order for this thing to be exposed for us to be deliver of this thing. And uh so that our human makeup as if it were can be brought into um be set free from the influence of this demonic creature in Psalm 42:57. Now remember the soul is the one that's in the middle. This is the spirit man speaking to the soul. Why are you cast down, oh my soul, and why are you disqued within me? Hoping God, for I shall yet praise him for the help of his countenance. Oh my God, my soul is cast down within me. This is a spirit of the Psalms of Kora, I believe, who's writing this psalm. And his spirit is crying out to God, there's something wrong with my soul here. I'm alive with you. I'm praising you, but there's something wrong with this soul. All you giving me, Lord, it's all messed up. But then he said, "Therefore, I will remember you from the land of the Jordan." That's the river Jordan where you get baptized and from the highest of Hermon. That's your spiritual high and from the hill of Miser. That's our lower part. And then he says this mystery. He says, "Deep calls unto deep at the noise of your waterfalls. All your waves and billows have gone over me." The deep calling into deep is the spirit of God speaking to your spirit. God is saying Leviathan is a monster of the sea. That means he's in your humanity. He's signing into that. But God says, "I got a few tornadoes of my own. I got a few water spouts. I can come up in there and vacuum that thing right off of your heart. I can just go in there and go and pull all that out." That's what God is saying. But how did it happen? Deep. called onto deep. The spirit of God in in capital letters speaks to our spirit. And as he begins to speak to our spirit, the revelation becames to to be made known. And uh I have some notes there as to being baptized. What is it that is commanded? Two things Christians are commanded to do. Take communion. It means the bread and the wine represents the blood and and the broken body of Jesus Christ. And the other thing is to be baptized. What does baptismal means? Death by water. Where does Leviathan dwell? In the water. When you're baptized into you. See, you cannot get saved until you're baptized into the Holy Spirit. The the baptismal of the Holy Spirit is different. I'm not talking about that. He says we the way that we have said we have all been baptized into one spirit. Baptismal simply means let's say that I'm a drop of water and I go and I take that drop of water to the Pacific Ocean and I dropped it. Can you ever again find that drop of water? No. It becomes part of the whole ocean. That's what God is saying. You were a little piece of water someplace. And when you were baptized in Christ, you were placed into See, we were all baptized by Adam and Eve. We're all descendants of them. Everything they they had, good or bad, has come down our way. And then Satan has done his best to mess it up so that I'm sure Adam and Eve will be surprised to see what their children look like because boy, they we should mess it up. But the same way that we're all baptized into this waters, the deep waters where Leviathan dwells, God has called us from the that deep. He was called us out of that deep into his deep deeper. That's his spirit. You see, when you were baptized, when you went into the water, you declared that you were self dead. Death to sin, dead to the world, death to Leviathan. And therefore when you rose up now your spirit is seated in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus. And then now God wants to bring changes in our life. Now Job 41 15 and 16. And this thing is so so big I could have went uh verse by verse but I knew that I wouldn't have that much time. So I condense it to four pages. And then tonight I'm condensing it even more so that I can get to the end of it. Uh Job 41:15 and 16 says, "His rose of scales are his pride. Shut up tightly as with a seal. No one I mean one is on air to another that no air can come between them." You know what that means? This demonic spirit that formed this alliance of Leviathan. He's a seven-headed monster. He's the king of all of the children of pride. By the way, anybody that is operating in pride is is a servant to that because Job says that. You can read in that chapter two. He's he's the uh the father. Everybody who seems to pride, he controls him. I don't care how godly the person is or how great he thinks is in the Lord. Pride comes before the fall because Leviathan is destined to fall and so will all that are proud. But what he's talking about here is that his scales or his demonic shields are so tightly connected to one another that no air can come through. Well, the word for air in both the Hebrew and the Greek in which the old and the New Testament are written speak about spirit, wind, speak about breath. So if he's able to encamp himself between you and God, nothing from your spirit can penetrate him. That's what he's talking about. And that's what he does. Wherever Leviathan comes in, you did you know uh many people, especially the guy that was writing the book that that actually Fred gave me copies of all of that the stuff that I was reading. I've been going through my garage and I got everything so organized. finally opened all the boxes from our move and I know where everything is at so I've been able I've been reading a lot but uh uh he that that snake comes in so tightly that nothing can penetrate and he says that when there are revivals many revival that have started in churches as soon as pride comes up he comes in and he blocks he has destroyed many many many revival working through the people that God was moving through to through the anointing that God was moving through bringing pride. Wow, look at myself. Look what I did. I lay hands and they came to life or I did this and and and you know and that spirit of pride is what terminates and churches go through this. the Holy Spirit will come in because of some prayer or because of some fasting or because something that some of the leaders did and then the Holy Spir Home Previous Next

HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS The objective of this message is to teach believers the difference between human works of righteousness and God’s true righteousness that is imputed through faith in Jesus Christ. Lisa emphasizes that salvation and protection do not come from outward deeds or religious observance, but from acknowledging sin, accepting God’s gift of grace, and living in continual relationship with Him. The message aims to encourage believers to seek God’s presence, walk in His righteousness, and understand the blessings, protection, and eternal life that flow from that relationship. < Back HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS Minister Lisa Kane October 12, 2025 Objective: The objective of this message is to teach believers the difference between human works of righteousness and God’s true righteousness that is imputed through faith in Jesus Christ. Lisa emphasizes that salvation and protection do not come from outward deeds or religious observance, but from acknowledging sin, accepting God’s gift of grace, and living in continual relationship with Him. The message aims to encourage believers to seek God’s presence, walk in His righteousness, and understand the blessings, protection, and eternal life that flow from that relationship. Synopsis: In this teaching, Lisa explores the meaning of God’s righteousness as revealed in Isaiah 54:17, “No weapon formed against you shall prosper… their righteousness is from Me, says the Lord.” She explains that it is God who calls us righteous, not our works or religious practices. By walking in His righteousness, believers gain protection, peace, and security—even in the midst of affliction, oppression, and end-time calamities. Lisa unpacks Isaiah 54:11–17, showing how God transforms affliction into blessing by building His people on foundations of precious stones and promising peace for their children, both natural and spiritual. She stresses the generational impact of righteousness and warns that sin can also pass down consequences. Drawing from Ezekiel and Romans, she highlights that human righteousness cannot deliver us, but God’s righteousness—received through repentance and faith in Christ—brings life and transformation. Throughout the message, Lisa ties in spiritual warfare, end-time warnings, and the necessity of intimacy with God. She reminds listeners that salvation is a gift, not earned by works, and that only by pressing into God’s presence, seeking His kingdom first (Matthew 6:33), and acknowledging Christ as Savior can believers live free from fear and condemnation. The teaching concludes by urging listeners to examine whether they are relying on their own works or truly resting in His righteousness, which alone secures eternal life and victory over the enemy. Inspired Teaching: Hello and welcome to the House of Faith Ministries. I'm Lisa Kane. I'm recording this on Saturday, August 12th, 2023. Welcome. This message is called His Righteousness. Oh, you're going to love this message. This is a powerful word. Let's open up a word of prayer. Father God, we thank you for your word. We thank you for your blessing. We thank you for your anointing. We thank you for your presence. open our ears, open our eyes, open our hearts, and open our minds to see, hear, believe, and apply, live your word, Father God, because when we see and believe, or when we see and hear, we believe. So, thank you for your word, and thank you for showing us your righteousness, so we have something to walk by and stand by in the name of Jesus. Thank you, Lord. Amen. Ah, amen. Amen. Let's go to our opening scripture. Okay. his righteousness. Opening scripture, Isaiah 54:17. No weapon formed against you shall prosper, and every tongue which rises against you in judgment, you shall condemn. Look at the capital Y there. It's talking about God will condemn it. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and their righteousness is from me, says the Lord. He's going to call you righteous. He's the one who determines whether you're righteous or not. Oh, so this is such a good message. We're going to start though. I want to we're going to dig into the scripture here in a little bit more, but that's what we're going to get to. But I want to take this into context and I want to show you starting at verse 11. So, let's go there real quick. Says, "Oh, you afflicted one." So, we're still in Isaiah 54. We're in verse 11. Oh, you afflicted one. Pause. Have you been tormented? Have you been suffering? And even as a believer, so a non-believer or a believer, if you've been afflicted now, when you have the righteousness of God, because you become a believer, he's going to show you what he's going to do for you. If you are an unbeliever and you've been afflicted and for many times, you haven't been. But I'm going tell you right now, we're entering a time where now this is being allowed. We'll get into this more in as we get along this scripture here. But oh you afflicted one, if if you're suffering stuff in your mind, you you can't sleep. Look at what it says here. Uh tossed with tempest and not comforted. You know, for many many years, I would see the vision of a tempest, a whirlwind, always praise and worship at church, whatever. You know, I would see it and I would wonder, you know, but I never took the initiative to go look it up. And until I took my life to the next level and built my relationship with the Lord because I wanted to make sure he knew my name. I wanted him to know me and then I wanted to know him. Once I took that step and I I it's a like living for the Lord. I chose to finally live for the Lord, not just be saved and wander, you know, go to church on Sundays, live for Christ on Sunday, be all good about it, and then go home s uh Monday through Saturday going living for whatever life. You see, once I made that transition, a change took place and this is it. Oh, you afflicted one tossed with tempest and not comforted. I stopped seeing those visions of whirlwinds. And I'm telling you that it was from the Lord. He he he was showing me this this whole time and I wasn't paying attention. So I hope you pay attention. Learn from my mistakes, will you? Okay. So says toss with tempest and not comfort it. Not comforted just means you can't sleep. You can't get comfortable in your bed. Everything is just not right. You are afflicted. Look what he says. Behold, I will lay your stones with colorful gems and lay your foundations with sapphires. I will make your pinnacles of rubies, your gates of crystal, and all your walls of precious stones. Let's talk about stones. That's a foundation or that is your wall. When um in California they build with wood and drywall and uh insulation. Well, where we are in Missouri and further east you go, they build with brick. But the stone and and stone might see u like castles build with stones. Well, God is saying if you're afflicted, he's saying, "I'm going to take those stones and I'm going to make them special stones, colorful stones, and they're going to be sapphires, rubies, crystal." And these are stones that are precious. They are stones that are hard, and they are your foundation. And it protects you. It's your hedge of protection. Now look what he also says. So he's got now he's putting a in other words if you trust in him that your walls of crystal are in place. You can lay your head at night knowing nothing is going to come against you. You get that? This is powerful. Now he says in verse 13, all your children shall be taught by the Lord and great shall be the peace of your children. Oh now let's look at that in depth. And this is not just children biological. This is spiritual children. You've built a relationship. You've adopted kids. So when you are in his rightness, he put his righteousness in you because you chose to seek ye first the kingdom of God. We're going to get into that. When you choose to do that, your offspring is going to be taught by the Lord. Why? Because they're seeing you. They're asking you, and you're making an impact on their lives. And he says he's teaching them because it's now connecting in their brain and heart because don't let my words uh be confirmed with you. You need to be confirming the word of God in this message, which is what we're looking at. We're taking his scriptures and we're applying it here. But the children will see this and then look and great shall be the peace of your children. Even now as I'm teaching you this, your child here, you look at I got to read it again because this is powerful. And great shall be the peace of your children. You see, it goes from generation to generation. If you ask yourself, why do bad things happen? Especially to kids, it is because your sin affects the kids. Your righteous, his righteousness in you. Your action of going in the secret place with the Lord dwelling in there, pressing into him passes down to your children. Your sin passes down to your children. But he says they will be at peace. Great will be their peace. You guys, you guys got to grasp this. Do you see how important it is? If you don't want bad things to be happening in this world, you need to press in. I can't stress that enough. I know sometimes you I've been reading Isaiah. I know there are things in there I don't understand. I was talking to my dad about that last night. I don't understand. But that's okay because I still am talking with God. And you know what? He will reveal the scriptures when you let him. But you can't know them until you get into them. So this is why you have to put that time aside. You have to open it up. You have to look at things you don't even understand. Which means you need to read the book of Revelation. You need to book read the book of Genesis. The most two attack books in the Bible. You need to read them. You may not understand them. You may not even believe them. But go with God. He says, "Come, let us reason together." Isaiah 1:18. You get into his presence and he will be there. That is a blessing for your children. If you're not doing that, they got a curse of your sin on them. And then you wonder why they're getting cancer and what have you. What is cancer? Canc you know what the consequence of cancer the the main priority of cancer. There are different versions of it, different types, but most of it comes from bitterness, unforgiveness. But if you're in the presence of the Lord, you're letting it all go. Cast your cares upon the Lord. Amen. Let's continue on. Verse 14. in righteousness you shall be established. Now remember our opening scripture, it was his righteousness. So but our act of going and we're coming into unity with the Lord and then he places he calls us righteous. He says we're righteous even though you know I'm still flesh. I'm messed up. I'm guilty. I'm a sinner. You're by the way. Everybody has sinned. Everyone has fallen short of the glory of God except Jesus. Which means we have to go to him to get our part in so that we so someone like me who has sinned can actually teach the word of God. Guess what? Someone like you who has sinned can actually understand the word of God if you take that step and you get into there. Oh, this is powerful. Look it. You shall be far from oppression, for you shall not fear, and from terror, for it shall not come near you. Okay, now we know that we are entering the end times here. I was about to try to teach on end times because there's a lot of going on with the peace treaty and the rapture and this is all flooding the internet right now. And uh I was going to do that and I was praying, I was studying. I couldn't get this, you know, I've taught on end times before. So, it's not that I didn't understand or anything. It's just I wasn't being released to teach that. Closed the computer. I went to put my headphones on, put some Christian music on, spent time with the Lord, praising him and glorifying him. Took it off, came back to the computer, and then this scripture popped in my head. No weapon formed against you shall prosper. And I said, "Okay, Lord, here we go." And as I started digging into it, but watch this. He says, "You shall be far from oppression, for you shall not fear and from terror, for it shall not come near you." Why? Take a look at the terror that is going on in the world now. The volcanoes erupting, all the earthquakes, we still have all that going on. You see all the fires. I mean, Lahani is wiped out in Maui over there. There it's gone. An entire city gone. Town city is gone. So now in Greece, the same thing. You have to ask yourself, why did that happen to them? If you go read Abraham when he had his three visitors and they were going to go over to Sodom and Gomorrah, judge Sodom and Gomorrah and then rescue Lot. Abraham, he's like, "Wait, wait, wait." He says, "If there's 50 righteous, would you still do it?" They said, "No, 30, 20, and 10." They said, "No." But there was a level there. So righteousness drops from these areas and when it does you become oppressed and afflicted. But when you come into his presence there's a big difference. Let's continue on here. This is very powerful. Indeed they shall surely assemble but not because of me. Whoever assembles against you shall fall for your sake. Okay, now I really want you to see this. Okay, so here we are in this end times. So the demonic forces are out in force and they have permission by God to do certain things. So if you go to Isaiah 45:7, he says, "I formed the light. I create darkness. I cause all calamity." So God is saying this to King Cyrus 400 years in advance. Well, that is telling us that all the demons have to do what God says. But look at what this scripture says. Indeed, they shall surely assemble, but not because of me. In other words, they're not doing what God told them to do. How many of you get attacked knowing you are following the Lord, living in the secret place? I just got sick when we got out here. And I'm thinking, Lord, what happened? I see the answer right here in front of me. They assembled, but not because of him. They were going against his permission. Now look at what he says. Whoever assembles against you shall fall for your sake. I'm going tell you right now, that sickness was gone. I had to see the light at the end of the tunnel. I had to wait for it. But that weapon did not prosper. It fell for me. Because see, I'm the one in obedience with God. I'm the one in see uh dwelling in his secret place. And yet the demons who are supposed to follow God and do what he says stepped out of line. They fell because of it. Oh, now we're beginning to see what's going on because see this is also in addition to the spiritual warfare series I've taught a couple years ago that you can go look at in our website. I am telling you that God has a purpose. He has a plan. He blesses whom he wants to. He has mercy on whom he wants to. He hardens whom he wants to. And then he curses whom he needs to. And a lot of the times, see, we're not fighting the devil anymore. They were already defeated. What we're fighting sometimes, we're fighting God because he's trying to get your attention because you're not spending time with him. He is trying to get your attention. Listen, I need you to come to me because I'm going to make you safe. But you're going to be dealing with these issues until you get there. And then when you're dealing with other issues that aren't from me, they will not live. They'll fall. They'll fall apart. They'll be gone. That is what's so powerful here. Look at now continue on. He says, this is verse 16. Behold, I, this is God talking, have created the blacksmith who blows the coals in the fire, who brings forth an instrument or a weapon for his work. And I have created the spoiler or the waster to destroy. You see, God will destroy what he wants to destroy. He's the one who created this. This is why now we have to find out what his righteousness is about because, you know, everyone talks about, "Oh, he's loving, he's merciful, but he's a judger, too, and he is a destroyer. He can curse." This is why it's so important for us to come into his presence to find out who he is and then to make sure he knows who we are. Are you telling him you're a sinner? Are you telling him you're messed up? Are you telling him you ask him for forgiveness? Or are you telling him, "H, I think you're good. You just live your life. Leave me alone." Well, then he's sending you an instrument, a a weapon for his work. You know, this is uh any type of your righteousness that you do because that's a lowercase H there. So, behold, I've created the blacksmith who blows the coals in the fire. Look at how many fires we have going on right now. You know, when you looked at the Canadian one and they showed the satellite image and all those fires, it was hundreds of they all started at the same time, but they were all over the different places and then they converged into one. And and you look at that going, that had to be spiritual. I mean, unless you had a hundred something people together in agreement lighting a fire. Can that be done? Yes. But it is highly improbable. I mean, unless God did it that way, too. Who knows? But God was doing this. So, he's the one who says, "Who blows the coals in the fire, who brings forth a weapon for his work, and I created the waster to destroy." So, this is God's God is in control of everything. So, you have to acknowledge you're guilty of your sin. Remember the thief on the cross. He did that. Now having that background and and understanding what leads to this verse, now look at verse 17. No weapon formed against you shall prosper. Let's stop there. That word prosper is be fruitful and multiply. Meaning you're still going to get hit with that uh weapon. You're still going to be hit and afflicted, but it won't keep going. It won't perpetuate. When I got sick, it took a while. Took three, four weeks. But it's gone and it didn't prosper. Because I was out of alignment and because it was his righteous. He calls me righteous. Why? Because I have a relationship with him. He called Abraham righteous because he believed it. it. Go read Hebrews 11. That awesome chapter says, "And every tongue which rises against you in judgment, you shall condemn." You see, God knows everything. He's going to condemn all those people that are saying evil things about you. How many people don't like my teaching and they say something and curse me? I did this. I went through. I did it, too. But God condemned. You shall condemn. God shall condemn. He Jesus is condemning it because it it's his judgment, not mine, not yours. He has given the ability for us to judge. But then what do we do with it? You need to speak blessings. You know, it's like praying for your neighborhood. You know, God, these thieves are all around me. They're stealing. Get rid of them. I curse them. I You know what? No. But if you bless them, say, "Lord, I bless them financially." Guess what? If they have everything they need, they ain't going to be stealing anymore. Do you see the difference? Now, look at this. Every tongue which rises against you in judgment. You shall condemn him. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and their righteousness is for me, says the Lord. It was nothing I did other than I said, "I'm sorry because I messed up." and I built a relationship with him. That's all I did. That's it. And I'm not boasting on that because it had to be his choice to choose whether I'm righteous or not. I hope you guys get that because no matter how many church attendants you go to and you went Sunday by Sunday by Sunday, eventually you will fall and you won't make it. So, you can't boast in that. And church attendance isn't what's going to save you. It's the fact that you're a sinner that you said to Jesus, I am so sorry I messed up. And then he starts to work in him. You become his workmanship and you he begins to change you from the inside, transform you and get you ready. But in the meantime, he's called you righteous. And now he says, "I've got you shielded in stones of precious colors." Let's go to Ezekiel now. I want you to see this. Look at this. This is talking about a a wicked man and a righteous man and their actions and their consequences. Look at this 21. But if a wicked man turns from all his sins, which he has committed, by the way, that would be me. That would be you. We all acknowledge that we sinned, but we've turned our lives around. I don't want to sin anymore. I don't want to do those. I don't want to practice sexual immorality. I don't want to practice witchcraft. I don't want to gossip. I don't want to judge. I don't want to use the name the God's name in vain. I want my life to be different. Says, look at this. This is if you're that wicked man that turns from all his sins which he has committed. You keep all my statutes and does what is lawful and right. He shall surely live. He shall not die. You wonder why some kids die. Again, the consequence from of sin for the parents goes to the kids. So you to make your kids live longer, to make your lives live longer, you need to repent and turn around. And if you're thinking, well, what kind of God does that? He's the one who created this world. Who do you think you are to question his rules? He's trying to make you right. And all you're saying is, "I want my sin approved." Well, I'm telling you, it will not be approved. He will not bless you, nor will I. I'm in his righteousness now. I will not bless your sin. You want to live in sin, that's between you and God. But I'm praying for you. I pray for unbelievers every night in my prayers. Now look at verse 22. None of the transgressions which he has committed shall be remembered against him because of the righteousness which he has done. He shall live. Now see there's a difference in this righteousness and is something you do. Now this this is an action you take. You see, you have God's righteousness that's in you and then you have your righteousness. You have to purpose in your heart that I'm going to put the Lord first. Seek ye first the kingdom of God. We're going to get to that. You have to take the action of I want to repent. I want to change. Oh, how powerful that is. And when you do, you shall live. That is a blessing. You have a long life to live. And I'm going to tell you right now, even though we're in the end times and it's all about to come to end, you go in the rapture, your life still goes on. You're still living that eternity. You will live. How many people are going to go to hell, wake up in hell, living in hell for an eternity. That's horrible. You don't want to do that. You're a sinner. Just acknowledge it. You messed up. And the one, there's only one way. He is the way, the truth, and the life. And it's by him that you're going to get to the father. And let me make that clear so you understand it in the correct analogy because that peace treaty with the pope and the uh the Muslims or uh Islam for Allah, they come into agreement because they're saying all ways get to God. No, no, no. All the ways don't get to God. If I live in Los Angeles and you live in San Diego and I give you directions to my house, but you go and head toward Mexico, will you ever get to my house? No, you're on the wrong path. So, don't fall for that line about all ways get to God because they don't. Let's continue now in Ezekiel. Now, we're in chapter 33 verse 12 and 13. Now, look at this. It says verse 12, "Therefore you, oh son of man, say to the children of your people, the righteousness of the righteous man shall not deliver him in the day of his transgression." When you go to live for Christ, but you didn't get saved first because you didn't acknowledge your sin. You just simply go to church. You simply go feed the homeless. You you cast out demons in his name. Jesus says, "I never knew you. that good thing. It's a good thing, but it's not going to uh deliver you from your transgression. It's not going to do that. Let me read that again. I want you to see this. Therefore, you, oh son of man, say to the children of your people, the righteousness of the righteous man shall not deliver him in the day of his transgression. This is why I'm teaching this message, and I call it his righteousness. He has to call you righteous, which the first thing you have to do is acknowledge you've sinned and you've fallen short of the glory of God. You messed up. Then you can choose to press in and get to know him and what you do in secret is exposed. He says, "Seek ye first the kingdom of God." That's the clincher here. Then go do all those good things. But if you're doing those good things without doing this, read it again. The righteousness of the righteous shall not deliver him in the day of transgression. Look at this. As for the wickedness of the wicked, he shall not fall because of it in the day that he turns from his wickedness. Nor shall the righteous be able to live because of his righteousness, lowercase, in the day that he sins. If you think going to church is making you good and you miss one service for whatever reason, no gas, uh, someone died in the household or you just couldn't make it that day because you were sick, you had spent a lot of time in the bathroom, whatever the case may be, you missed it. Guess what? You fell into sin again. You sinned because you established that as your right standing with God. He's going to show you you're going to fall every single time, which is what the law tells us. This is what the ten commandments tells us. Now look at verse 13. He says, "When I say to the righteous that he shall surely live, remember this is now Isaiah going back, you shall surely live." And that first part that the first part of Ezekiel that we read, he says, "But he trusts in his own righteousness and commits iniquity because now you're depending on your own righteousness, but you sin again." He's reiterating this. None of his righteous works shall be remembered. God isn't going to count and remember how many times you went to church. God isn't going to count how many times that uh you helped at the soup kitchen. He not going to tell you that. He's not going to remember any of that. Excuse me. Why? Because it's your righteousness, not his. And if you are depending on that to clear you of your sins, guess what? It ain't going to happen. The only way to God is through Jesus. And the only way to do that is to acknowledge him that he is innocent because he per he was perfect. He took on sin and he passed the test. We all failed. We're guilty. We've lost. We were born into sin and there was nothing we can do about it. There's nothing. You just got to confess him as Romans 10:9 says, and look at this. But because of the iniquity that he has committed, he shall die. Then you wonder why. Why do good people die? Hey, you don't know what's inside their heart, but God knows. And he knows not only what's inside their heart and what they're dealing with, but he knows whether they have believed in him or they're depending on their righteousness. I, you know, I had a coworker who saw what I was doing and all he says is I need to do good things. I'm thinking you need to confess Jesus is Lord. That you know Romans 10:9 that if you confess Jesus is Lord. You that if you confess with your mouth Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God is raised from the dead you will be saved. Look at what the thief on the cross did. He told the other thief, "Hey, he's innocent. We're guilty." He acknowledged his guilt. And then he looked to Jesus says, "Remember we me when you enter your kingdom." And Jesus said, "Today I promise you, you will be with me in paradise." That's in Luke 20, I think it is. I've been teaching on that now for several weeks. Get in there and read the scriptures. Romans 6:16 through8. Do you not know that to whom you present yourselves slaves to obey, you are that one's slaves when you obey, whether of sin leading to death or of obedience leading to righteousness. So whichever life you live, you got to lay the foundation first with his salvation. Remember salvation is from the Lord too. Let his salvation, his righteousness come in you. The only way you're going to get it is when you press in and you come into him. But see, when you're not doing that, you are obeying to the slaves of the world and you're following the world's concept here. Now, look at this. But, uh, verse 17, but God be thank though you were slaves of sin, yet you obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine to which you were delivered. And having been set free from sin, you became slaves of righteousness. You see, you have to be set free from sin first and then you become a slave to rightness. You be you want to come into the presence of the Lord. You want that rightness. You actually took your whole body and you brought it under self-control under the gift of the Holy Spirit and you said, "No, Lord, I'm putting you first. I am not following this world." Let's continue on here. Now, we're in verse 20. We're going to skip 19. Verse 20. For when you were slaves of sin, you were free in regard to righteousness. Look at that. You were free. You, In other words, you weren't bound to righteousness when you were a sinner. In other words, if you were in a Gucci store, you saw a purse or something there and you decided to steal it because you didn't have any righteousness in you. Look at the state of California right now. You can steal up to $950 and nobody can do anything. And in fact, if they try to stop you, they're the ones that are going to get arrested and prosecuted. Talk about backwards, right? So, look at this. Verse 21. What fruit did you have then in the things of which you are now ashamed? You see, when you were living in the world and you weren't righteous, you did things. You sinned. And by the way, it doesn't matter your lifestyle how you live. You still lied. You still cheated. You still stole. you, me are were sinners that needed to repent. And now we can be a slave to righteousness. Now we can live for Christ. Now we can commit to him. And we come to realize that one day a week in church isn't it. We go there now to minister. We go there to pray. We pray for people. But the six days, we're spending time in the word and we're spending time in his presence, praising him and praying for that upcoming service and asking the anointing of the Holy Spirit, asking for the spirit of healing to be there because now we're living right with Christ because we're being obedient to his righteousness. He called us righteous because now the blood of Jesus covers us. says, "Now verse 22, but now having been set free from sin and having become slaves of God, you have your fruit to holiness and the end everlasting life." See, now you get to live eternally, not by the works because you would boast otherwise, but by God who calls you righteous because you put his son first. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. And then look at verse 23. For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of life is eternal life in Christ Jesus. So every time you enter sin, you're dying. Aging. When Adam and Eve sinned, he died 930 years later. Death, a form of death is aging. And he aged to 930 years and he died. every one of us. This is a this is a way to see that we're all in death, that we've all sinned, and that we've all fallen short of short of the glory of God. It's because we're sinning, aging, and as long as we keep aging, we're dying. But look at the second part of that. But the gift of God. Gift. We can't boast about a gift other than, you know, I went and got my pardon from the remission of sins. Did you? Oh, good. There's no boasting there. You just went and got your gift. But the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. Living for Christ and living in his goodness here in the flesh is our first steps toward eternal life. We're going to be living eternally with the Lord. And what happens is we die to the world. We're we're no longer in sin. We we've left that domain. This world has nothing to offer me. I don't want anything other than I want to see you saved. And I'm appointed with Christ in the heavenly places for his will, which is to save you, which is why I do this. I do this because he called me righteous. Otherwise, I'm a sinner. I was a sinner just like you. But thank God, he changed me and transformed me. And why? Why the whole thing matters comes down the whole of this matter eternal life everything comes to this scripture right here Matthew 6:33 but seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness and all these things shall be added to you those crystal gems the stones around you the authority to see and know that even though we're afflicted and oppressed that it doesn't prosper that there is no weapon formed against us, not even the ones from God. I mean, he can take us out if he wants to anytime he wants to. But he says you're righteous because you believe that Jesus is the son of God. You believe my son. This is what God is saying. So, I'm I'm trying to do a distinction here between the works that you can boast in and the foundation of salvation and then the works of his righteousness in you. And I promise you this, when you're in his righteousness, you teach on the spirit of love, not the spirit of fear. You know, we are not called to teach on a spirit of fear or to live in a spirit of fear, but of love and of a sound mind. A sound mind is when you realize the truth of the matter. You realize that Jesus is the son of God. You acknowledge that you messed up. And once the salvation is established, oh now you know in fact if you look at how Jesus did, he was water baptized. So your salvation doesn't require water baptism. But Jesus when he was water baptized went into the wilderness and dealt with the devil. He went through 40 days, 40 nights dealing with temptation and overcoming the devil. So that means if you look at what water baptism is, you are saying I choose his righteousness. I go down and I come up washed of my sins now. And when I come up, his seed is firmly rooted in me. And what happens now is you are eligible to go into ministry. So you can go into the wilderness. Paul, even though he knew the scriptures, he was Saul on the road to Damascus and Jesus touched him, changed his life and he got his sight back three days later, he went into the wilderness for three years to understand what was going on here because he needed that before he can teach us. So now, when you get into that right standing with God, there's a time of a root that needs to take place. you need to get rooted and then you get water baptized and you're ready. But you have to go after the enemy when you get rooted uh when you get water baptized and you deal with the enemy and once the enemy is dealt with now you walk in his ministry. Now you see the church doesn't teach a lot about that but that is scripture. That is how it happened with Jesus. That is how it happened with Paul. So now what happens though is because you are spending time getting rooted, getting into your new routine with the Lord. And again, this is where I'm coming from. I finally chose to press in, not be one foot in, one foot out, and be lukewarm, which God will spit you out if you are. I never knew. You remember this these scriptures, you will understand that you put both your feet in. Now you're in ministry and now you are in the rightness of God, his righteousness. Because now he can call you righteou Previous Next Home

GATES: SPIRITUAL PORTALS The objective of GATES: SPIRITUAL PORTALS by Pastor Marcos Marrero is to provide believers with an understanding of the biblical concept of spiritual portals, or “gates,” as revealed in Scripture. The teaching aims to equip readers to discern these gateways between the natural and spiritual realms, respond with reverence and awe when encountering them, and walk in the enlightenment and anointing that flows through them in order to overcome spiritual battles and access God’s presence. GATES: SPIRITUAL PORTALS Pastor Marcos Marrero Objective: The objective of GATES: SPIRITUAL PORTALS by Pastor Marcos Marrero is to provide believers with an understanding of the biblical concept of spiritual portals, or “gates,” as revealed in Scripture. The teaching aims to equip readers to discern these gateways between the natural and spiritual realms, respond with reverence and awe when encountering them, and walk in the enlightenment and anointing that flows through them in order to overcome spiritual battles and access God’s presence. Synopsis: In this message, Pastor Marcos explores Jacob’s encounter at Bethel, where he discovered “the gate of heaven.” From this account, several vital truths about spiritual portals are revealed. First, gates must be spiritually discerned, for they are hidden from natural perception until God reveals them. Once revealed, they are to be approached with reverence and awe, as they carry God’s presence and significance. These gates act as openings between heaven and earth, where divine anointing and enlightenment flow, enabling believers to experience deeper spiritual truths and receive strength to overcome the enemy. Jacob’s anointing of the stone at Bethel illustrates the need to consecrate such places and recognize their divine assignment. The naming of gates further underscores their function, designating the purpose of the access they provide into God’s realm. The teaching also shows that gates are not isolated; God has placed them all over the earth to draw humanity closer to Himself. At these points of access, spiritual battles are either won or lost, as gates serve as courts of justice where accusations of the enemy can be silenced through Christ’s advocacy and the believer’s testimony. Pastor Marcos highlights biblical examples, including Amos’ confrontation at Bethel, demonstrating how prophets and believers must contend for truth and silence the enemy at the gate. Ultimately, the message emphasizes that spiritual gates bring enlightenment, divine justice, and supernatural strength. They are awesome places where God’s presence is manifest, and where believers can stand in faith, discern spiritually, and walk in victory through Christ Jesus. Inspired Teaching: Genesis 28:16-19 “Then Jacob awoke from his sleep and said, ‘Surely the LORD is in this place, and I did not know it.’ And he was afraid and said, ‘how awesome is this place! This is none other than the house of God, and this is the gate of heaven (spiritual portal)!’ Then Jacob rose early in the morning, and took the stone that he had put at his head, set it up as a pillar, and poured oil on top of it. And he called the name of that place Bethel (house of God); but the name of that city had been Luz previously.” From the experience of Jacob that is recorded in the Scripture above, we can glean a tremendous amount of information in regards to the nature and function of spiritual portals, otherwise known as gates. Gates Have to be Revealed! As soon as Jacob awoke from his dream, astonished by the presence of God that was there, his comment was, I did not know it. What he meant was that he had spent time in that place previous to going to sleep, and had it not been for the dream that revealed to him the significance of that place, in the natural, he would have never known that a spiritual portal existed right there in his encampment. So that the first thing we learn from Jacob’s experience is that spiritual portals have to be revealed to us. We can be standing right next to one, and in the natural we would not have a clue that it is even there. Gates are to be Respected! Now the next paragraph in the story tells us why perhaps these gates are hidden out of our natural sight, He was afraid. In nature there are places that are common and places that are special. Places of special significance are set apart because of their beauty or maybe, their historical value, or something that makes them special. So that out of respect, these certain areas are protected from common use. It is the same in the spiritual realm, wherever there is a spiritual portal, God attaches a special significance to that place, so that to those that are made aware of their existence, an awesome sense of fear and respect for that place arises within them instantly. Gates are Awesome Places! Jacob knew immediately after waking up that this place was no ordinary place, in astonishment he uttered this words, how awesome is this place. What made this place awesome to Jacob was that he found God’s presence there. We find this to be truth, that wherever there is a spiritual portal, the presence of God will be there in Spirit form. Gates are Openings into the Spiritual Realm! The physical and spiritual realm, though intertwined, are separated by walls that do not allow much interaction between the two, it is only through gate of heaven passages that such interaction is allowed to take place. Gates are to be Anointed! These gates of heavenly passages are special, not only for their importance, rarity, awesomeness, as well as for the access that they afford us to the Spirit of God, but also for the anointing that flows from them; because through these open gates God’s anointing flows. Jacob poured oil on top of it to signify that fact, for it was well known to our forefathers that it is the anointing that breaks the yoke. Gates Have Names that Designate their Assignment! As Jacob poured oil upon the rock that had been his pillow while having the dream, he called that place Bethel which means house of God, to designate that this was a gate that lead to God’s dwelling place, since he had witnessed God’s holy angels ascending and descending to the very throne of God. Gates are a Place of Spiritual Enlightenment! God’s anointing equates to God’s enlightenment, so that when an open gate is revealed, if those to whom the portal is revealed follow the proper protocol; I mean, they respect it, their in awe of their significance, they realized that a door has been opened for them to access the spiritual realm, they anoint it or make it special in their hearts. Then, their understanding will be opened to the nature (name) of that opening and they will be able to appropriate its functions. But the name of that city had been Luz previously. Although Jacob called that place Bethel or the house of God, due to his personal experience there, that place had being previously named Luz which means light or enlightenment. So that gates may go by different names to those who have their own experience, yet the function of the gate will certainly be the same. Acts 17:26-28 “And He has made from one blood every nation of men to dwell on all the face of the earth, and has determined their pre-appointed times and the boundaries of their dwellings, so that they should seek the Lord, in the hope that they might grope for Him and find Him, though He is not far from each one of us; for in Him we live and move and have our being...” Gates are all Over the Earth! Wherever men have settled on all the face of the earth, God has placed gates, and has determined their pre-appointed times, and according to His wisdom, He has set up the boundaries of their dwellings for the purpose of enticing men to seek the Lord, to seek His anointing, to seek His enlightenment, to grope for Him (if they have to, like a blind person would) and find Him, although He is never far from us. What Happens if we Find a Gate? Isaiah 28:6 “For a spirit of justice to him who sits in judgment, and for strength to those who turn back the battle at the gate.” God’s enlightenment will always lead us to make the right decisions. In other words, the spirit of justice allows us to make the right judgments. The anointing on the other hand, enables us with the strength needed to turn back the spiritual battle at the source, before it gets near to us. Isaiah 29:21 “Those who with a word make a man out to be guilty, who ensnare the defender in court (the gate) and with false testimony deprive the innocent of justice.” Where is it that Satan makes his accusations against us? Is it not before the heavenly court, which is just another name for gate or portal? Do we not have access to the same heavenly court with our very own advocate by our side, even Jesus? So here is a revelation, we just found an open gate, and is the name of Jesus that grants us access to God’s heavenly court, where we can silence our accusing enemy with the blood of Jesus and by the word of our testimony. Amos 7:13 “But never again prophesy at Bethel, for it is the king's sanctuary, and it is the royal residence.” Centuries later, at Bethel, a wicked king tried to silence one of God’s prophets from accessing the gate at the house of God. Read the response of the holy prophet. Amos 7:12-17 “Then Amaziah said to Amos: ‘Go, you seer! Flee to the land of Judah. There eat bread, and there prophesy. But never again prophesy at Bethel, For it is the king’s sanctuary, and it is the royal residence.’ Then Amos answered, and said to Amaziah: ‘I was no prophet, nor was I a son of a prophet, but I was a sheep-breeder and a tender of sycamore fruit. Then the LORD took me as I followed the flock, and the LORD said to me,’ ‘Go, prophesy to My people Israel.’ Now therefore, hear the word of the LORD: you say, ‘Do not prophesy against Israel, and do not spout against the house of Isaac.’ Therefore thus says the LORD: ‘Your wife shall be a harlot in the city; your sons and daughters shall fall by the sword; your land shall be divided by survey line; you shall die in a defiled land; and Israel shall surely be led away captive from his own land.’” Is that the way to talk to a priest or what? Amos, being a true prophet of the Living God, was under the anointing and enlightenment of God, as such, he understood the severity of the charges against him, by no less than the priest of Bethel, the very man who sat at the spiritual gate of the city, who was trying hard to silence him. The priest of Bethel was in violation of God’s Word according to Isaiah: those who with a word make a man out to be guilty. So that Amos rebuke and judgment against priest Amaziah was swift and harsh. I guess we can say that he nipped it on the bud, before it left the gate. Is it not what this lesson is all about? To silence the enemy and the avenger at the gate? 1 Corinthians 2:14-15 “But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. But he who is spiritual (battles at the gate) judges all things, yet he himself is rightly judged by no one.” Glory to God, in Jesus mighty name we thank you Lord for awesome is Your name, and awesome is Your presence at the gate.

PSALM 90 The objective of this lesson is to reveal the hidden prophetic depth within Psalm 90, showing how Moses encoded an overview of human history, time, and eternity. The study emphasizes the brevity of life, the inevitability of trials, and the hope of eternal glory for those who walk in faith. It aims to teach believers how to view time from God’s perspective, to number their days with wisdom, and to live passionately for God while leaving behind a legacy of faith and righteousness. PSALM 90 Pastor Marcos Marrero Objective: The objective of this lesson is to reveal the hidden prophetic depth within Psalm 90, showing how Moses encoded an overview of human history, time, and eternity. The study emphasizes the brevity of life, the inevitability of trials, and the hope of eternal glory for those who walk in faith. It aims to teach believers how to view time from God’s perspective, to number their days with wisdom, and to live passionately for God while leaving behind a legacy of faith and righteousness. Synopsis: In Psalm 90, Moses offers a sweeping vision of God’s eternal nature contrasted with man’s fleeting existence. The psalm begins by affirming the Lord as humanity’s dwelling place throughout all generations, pointing to a timeline of 144 generations culminating in the last days. Moses reveals that life is a cycle of turning and returning, where death precedes new life, and mortality is transformed into immortality through Christ. Verses 2–4 expand on the vastness of God’s eternity—time flowing from “everlasting to everlasting.” Human existence, by contrast, is fragile, like grass that flourishes in the morning but withers by evening. Yet within this frailty lies the promise of transcendence, where trials and afflictions are not meaningless but part of God’s refining work. The psalm underscores life’s brevity—seventy or eighty years—and the reality that without faith, it is filled only with labor and sorrow. But for the believer, life points to a glorious destiny: the rapture, resurrection, and eternal dwelling with Christ. Passion for God, rooted in reverence and dependence on His mercy, becomes the key to wisdom. The prayer of the psalmist becomes ours: to live joyfully under God’s mercy, to endure affliction knowing it brings greater glory, and to pass on faith to the next generation. The psalm closes with a plea for God to establish the work of our hands. True legacy is not found in earthly achievements but in works anchored in God, which He alone sustains into eternity. Thus, Psalm 90 teaches us to measure time not by fleeting days, but by eternal impact, living with heaven as our final home. Inspired Teaching: Psalm 90:1 "Lord, You have been our dwelling place in all generations." Moses wrote twelve psalms, songs that the children of Israel were to memorize and recall, in pretty much the same manner that we remember the lyrics of songs today that we learned in days past. Except that in the songs that Moses wrote he encoded messages that would reveal to those living in the end times the events that would befall them. Psalm 90 to 100 record eleven songs and Deuteronomy chapter thirty two records the other one. This is what Moses said about the songs that he wrote: Deuteronomy 32:46-47 "...Set your hearts on all the words which I testify among you today, which you shall command your children to be careful to observe—all the words of this law. For it is not a futile thing for you, (memorizing the words) because it is (the story of) your life, and by this word you shall prolong your days in the land which you cross over the Jordan to possess." Notice that Psalm 90 begins with the words our dwelling place in all generations, meaning that within this Psalm we should find encoded an abbreviated history of the human race from our first generation to the last one. Generations: A revolution of time, an age. From a root word that means; to gyrate (move in a circle). Strong's # 1755 & 1752 I believe that there are 144 generations from Adam and Eve to the last generation, out of which some will be rapture out of this world before that last generation comes to an end, and the rest, those who are left behind, will go through God's refining fire before their time for entering into God's Day of Rest comes to pass for all those who are qualified to enter it after going through His Day of Wrath. Psalm 90:2 "Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever You had formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, You are God." Everlasting to everlasting speaks of the time that existed before our present time began which I call Infinity Time, which is also the time place that we will be going to after our present time which I call Eternity Time ends. So that our present existence came out from infinity and it will return back to infinity, after the completion of a gyration of time which is measured as 144 generations. Everlasting: Concealed, the vanishing point, time out of mind (past or future). From a root word that means; terminus, (by implication) duration, in the sense of advance or perpetuity. Strong's # 5769 & 5703 So that once our present time and space which I call Eternity Time reaches the vanishing point, all the present creation will be done away with by fervent heat, and a new heaven and a new earth will be created and advanced into Infinity Time for perpetuity, with all those humans who passed the test elevated into a new existence as jewels for the crown of our Lord and Savior Jesus the Christ, the son of man, the firstborn over all creation. Those human jewels being formed out of the trials of faith from of all seven dispensations. Psalm 90:3 "You turn man to destruction, and say, 'Return, O children of men.'" Verse three deals with the process of turning and returning. Before something can be constructed it first has to be destructed. Before man can be clothed in infinity he first has to experience the nakedness of death; one cannot ascend unless one first descends, that's the principle of creation. A seed cannot germinate unless it dies to self first, then and only then it can transcend. That is the duality of all the creation. So that within the first three verses of Psalm 90 we see the hidden mystery of time before and time after, the revolutions of time and the product of time. One hundred and forty four generations in seven dispensations of time turning and returning: 144 + 7 + 2 = 153. John 21:11 "Simon Peter went up and dragged the net to land, full of large fish, one hundred and fifty-three; and although there were so many, the net was not broken." The number one hundred and fifty-three symbolizes the final tally of all the souls that transcend from their mortality into life everlasting: out of every generation and out of every dispensation they were marked for destruction, the destruction of their mortality, into the immortality of their deliverer, the One who conquered death, hell and the grave. The One who has been given a name that is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee will bow and every tongue shall confess that He is Lord to the glory of God our Father. Psalm 90:4 "For a thousand years in Your sight are like yesterday when it is past, and like a watch in the night." In verse four we see the propagation of time from the spiritual vantage point. To us time is set because we are confined to the present, we live from day to day, one day at the time. Not so for the spiritual dwellers, one day for them can mean a thousand years or a fourth of one night. The idea here is for us to keep life within the proper perspective; life is a process of ebb and flow, starting and ending, waxing and waning. We have a tendency to succumb to the finality of things, when in reality nothing is final until we are finally in His glorious presence. For there the pain ends, the suffering is no more, the tears no longer flow, and in the knowledge of Him we transcend time itself. That is the lesson that we can learn from this Psalm, that we can live in His presence right now by faith and make that our final answer. Psalm 90:5-9 "You carry them away like a flood; they are like a sleep. In the morning they are like grass which grows up: In the morning it flourishes and grows up; in the evening it is cut down and withers. For we have been consumed by Your anger, and by Your wrath we are terrified. You have set our iniquities before You, our secret sins in the light of Your countenance. For all our days have passed away in Your wrath; we finish our years like a sigh." Verses five through nine describe the process of our turning and returning. Like a flood and like a dream and like the grass that grows up, here one moment and gone the next. Oh the futility that life is without faith that transcends a life of mortality. Though mortals in the human sense, though bound to the present tense, consumed and terrified as we see our days passing away, still we dare to raise our faith above the mundane. You see, when our spirit dares to believe that there is more to life than what we see with our mortal eyes; when we look at our afflictions through the spiritual perspective of time, infinite time, then life is a joyous journey. For the joy that was set before Him Christ endured the horrors of the cross. If we stay focus on the price we can overcome the pain and make our present life a spiritual Eden. Romans 8:18 "For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us." Don't you wish sometimes, when we find ourselves in the middle of a very difficult and unpleasant situation, that we could just fly away somewhere? There is such a place for the child of faith, a place that can only be reached through the wings of prayer and praise. It is called the place of sweet surrender; it is the place where we lay down our struggles, our fears and doubts, our lack of understanding and all our sorrows. There we just simply resign ourselves to His good and perfect will for us. Psalm 90:10 "The days of our lives are seventy years; and if by reason of strength they are eighty years, yet their boast is only labor and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away." For the joy that is set before us, if we can have but a taste of it, can make us do what no other non human creature could ever achieve: Belief. We could call it faith, or trust , or rapture, or complete abandonment to a cause, but real faith is rooted in the knowledge that we are loved, that we are accepted, that we transcend time and space, that we are very valuable to someone who is very special. Our destiny could never be fulfilled by the things of this world, for we are not made of things that go to waste; we are eternal! Every joint, every marrow, every bone and every sinew, every cell and every atom that our bodies are comprise of will someday be made eternal in the fashion of the resurrected body of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ who flew away, but according to His promises is soon coming back for us. John 14:1-3 "Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me. In My Father’s house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also." So that after the overall journey for all mankind is marked out in verses five through nine, the individual's journey is set as a brief one, marked with labor and sorrow but with the steadfast promise of soon being cut off and then we fly away. Psalm 90:11 "Who knows the power of Your anger? For as the fear of You, so is Your wrath." Here is the essence of the lesson that life teaches us: Passion is the human virtue that must be channeled in the right or godly direction. Our God is a passionate God, our Savior is a passionate Savior, our love and convictions for Him must as well be full of passion. A passion for life is a passion for God. The passionate does not quit just because the going gets a little hard. The fear of the righteous is the thought that they may fail to fulfill God's destiny for their lives. Psalm 90:12 "So teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom." Passion teaches patience, the patient learns the wisdom that says: the attainment of the goal is all that really matters. Is not how we get to heaven that's important, getting there that's the thing! Is not what we take to heaven that matters but who we take to heaven! The desire of the passionate is this: Psalm 90:13 "Return, O Lord! How long? And have compassion on Your servants." The worst thing that a believer could ever do is to fall in love with the world. Earthly desires must never trump our heavenly calling. The best way to stay focus is to be dependent and remain dependent of His Grace and Mercy at all times. Psalm 90:14 "Oh, satisfy us early with Your mercy, that we may rejoice and be glad all our days!" Misguided passion tends to lead us into worthless religion. The sooner we learn that within us nothing good dwells, the better we are. Because true passion will lead us to the cross road of total and complete dependence on Him. True brokenness can make us to be glad all of our days, because in true brokenness there is no fear, because perfect love casts out all fear! Psalm 90:15 "Make us glad according to the days in which You have afflicted us, the years in which we have seen evil." In verse fifteen we see the law of cause and effect at work; this law not only applies to the physical universe, but is one of those laws that transcends and has a spiritual application as well. Is the law of sowing and reaping, and it has to do with the fact that the more affliction a person endures, the greater the rewards. The more that we die (to self) the greater that our life experience will be. In the natural, the greater the pain, the greater the gain. In the spiritual, true life can best be experienced from our death bed. Where the emphasis is not placed in what we have lived, but rather, in what we have failed to live. In the spiritual realm perspective is everything. Psalm 90:16 "Let Your work appear to Your servants, and Your glory to their children." If our lives do not leave a legacy of glory, glory to the One who is faithful and by us being faithful and passing on our faithfulness to our children, then what that means is that we did not fully appreciate the work that was assigned to us in this life, for after all we are but one in one hundred and forty-four generations. Look at nature itself and it will tell you that existence without propagation is extinction of the species. Psalm 90:17 "And let the beauty of the Lord our God be upon us, and establish the work of our hands for us; Yes, establish the work of our hands." Only God can sustain and maintain the work of a person after they fly away, and it is only when we labor in His work that our labor will never be in vain! As it is written: Isaiah 61:3 "...To give them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they may be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, that He may be glorified."

RELENT OR RESIST The objective of this teaching is to help believers discern whether to resist or endure adversity by aligning their decision-making with the Word of God. It aims to provide spiritual clarity on the difference between trials permitted by God for the testing of faith and attacks from the enemy, guiding Christians to walk in obedience to God’s will without allowing carnality or generational resistance to cloud their judgment. RELENT OR RESIST Pastor Marcos Marrero January 1, 1900 Objective: The objective of this teaching is to help believers discern whether to resist or endure adversity by aligning their decision-making with the Word of God. It aims to provide spiritual clarity on the difference between trials permitted by God for the testing of faith and attacks from the enemy, guiding Christians to walk in obedience to God’s will without allowing carnality or generational resistance to cloud their judgment. Synopsis: In Relent or Resist, Pastor Marcos Marrero addresses the vital question of how Christians should respond to adversity: should they endure it as a test from God or resist it as an attack from the enemy? Using Romans 9:19 and other Scriptures, he explains that resisting the Holy Spirit results in opposing God’s will, while discernment comes from a circumcised heart and ear—removing carnality and listening to God’s Word rather than focusing solely on the pain of trials. He highlights the generational struggle of resisting God, tracing it back to Adam and Eve’s fall, and contrasts that with the redemptive work of Christ, the Tree of Life, who restores access to God’s promises. Pastor Marcos teaches that true spiritual circumcision occurs when believers are fully persuaded they belong to Christ, holding fast to His promises even when discernment falters. Through biblical examples and practical application, the teaching stresses that trials and deliverance often work hand in hand. Adversities may arise from the corruption of fleshly choices or from persecution due to living faithfully in Christ. The key is honest self-examination: are hardships the result of losing spiritual “saltiness,” or are they a sign of faithful witness against a corrupt world? Ultimately, Pastor Marcos reminds believers that when their hearts are surrendered and their ears attuned to the Spirit, they will know whether to resist with the sword of the Spirit or relent and endure with steadfast faith. In both paths, God’s promises remain sure, and His purposes will be fulfilled in the lives of His children. Inspired Teaching: Romans 9:19 “You will say to me then, ‘Why does He still find fault? For who has resisted His will?’” How do we know, when an adverse circumstance rises against us, if we are to resist it, or just accept it and endure it? Here is what I mean, if the adversity is a trial sent to us from God for the testing of our faith, we would not want to fail the test by resisting the adverse circumstance to the point where we renege our faith on His promise that if we endure trials faithfully, He will see us through them. But if it is an attack from the enemy, we want to come against it head on and defeat it, for we are told that if we submit to God and resist the devil that he will flee from us. Acts 7:51 “You stiff-necked and uncircumcised in heart and ears! You always resist the Holy Spirit; as your fathers did, so do you.” The Scripture in Acts gives us a tremendous insight into how vital it is for our wellbeing to be able to know when we are to resist adversity, and when we are to relent and endure them. Because if we are resisting the Holy Spirit we are fighting against the will of God for our lives, and that is not going to be good for anybody. Uncircumcised in heart and ears. Circumcision is a type for the removal of the flesh from the life-giving ordinances of God, in other words, we need to remove our carnality from the decision making process. That resolves the first part of the problem. An uncircumcised ear is one that focuses on the adversity alone, and by doing so, the heart, where the decision-making process takes place, is compromised, for it cannot make an informed decision since it is only receiving one side of the adversity, we are facing, which is the pain it causes, and not what the potential benefits, if any, might be. As your fathers did, so do you. The second part of the problem is generational; resisting the will of God for our lives is embedded within our human genes, courtesy of the fall of Adam and Eve from the Garden of Eden, the Paradise of God for us. Adam and Eve were kicked out of the Garden to prevent them from partaking of the fruit of the Tree of Life, for had they eaten from it in their rebelliously carnal state, they would have become like the fallen angels, unredeemable and eternally dammed forever. In God’s plan of redemption for humanity, Jesus who is the Tree of Life, hung naked on the cross to cover our nakedness with His holiness, and opened the door for us back into the Paradise of God where we can freely partake of the fruit of the Tree of Life, which is His Word/Promises. John 6:63 “It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life.” So that our decision-making process, concerning anything, has to be based on the Word of God instead of what the flesh is experiencing! How do we circumcise our hearts and ears? Romans 9:9 “For this is the word of promise…” We have to begin at the point of our salvation. Our salvation is the result of God’s promises to mankind. In Jesus, the Seed of the woman, all the promises of God given to us can be attained. For there is no other name under heaven whereby we must be saved and delivered. Acts 4:12 “Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.” Spiritually speaking, what I am trying to say is that if we are fully persuaded that we belong to Jesus Christ, and we know for a fact that His Holy Spirit is within us, and we are convinced that He has a plan and a purpose for our lives, and that His plan and purpose is the very best for us, then nothing else really matters does it? What I’m saying is that as long as we are fully committed to His good will and great and precious promises for us, the result can never be in doubt, even if our discernment fails us at times, for as it is written: Hebrews 10:23 “Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful.” What that does for us is that it takes the pressure off from our decision-making process. Hey, I don’t want to suffer a minute longer than I have to in order to obtain God’s promises for my life, for I do not enjoy suffering. But I know that if I somehow miss a turn and have to go around the block one extra time or two, it is not going to stop God from getting me there, for this is what He promised me: Philippians 1:6 “Being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ.” True deliverance, or circumcision of the heart begins, when we finally cross a threshold in our hearts that says: I belong to God, and I am fully committed to His will for my life, therefore nothing is going to keep me from fulfilling His will and purpose for my life. When adversity comes our way, and our hearts are in tune with the words that Jesus speaks to us, which are spirit and truth—spiritual truth—we will know instantly if we are to resist the adversity with the sword of the spirit which is the Word of God, or if we are to relent and let the work of adversity work its way through, in the meanwhile we strengthen our faith while the persecution is crossing our path. John 16:33 “These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.” We need to remember that often times deliverance and tribulation go hand in hand. Now why is that? In the circumcision typology, the life-giving male semen gets corrupted as it comes in contact with the flesh, the foreskin, as it is spread abroad. The two-fold covenant of circumcision with Abraham was given as a type for those who were entrusted with the propagation of God’s Word, that they were to keep it from contamination. For the Jews who are the heirs of the physical promise—the Holy Land, the ritual was a physical act to be performed on every newborn Jewish boy on the eighth day. Paul infuses into the church the spiritual implication of the two-fold circumcision covenant that God made with Abraham. Colossians 2:10-13 “And you are complete in Him, who is the head of all principality and power. In Him you were also circumcised with the circumcision made without hands (spiritual circumcision), by putting off the body of the sins of the flesh, by the circumcision of Christ, buried with Him in baptism, in which you also were raised with Him through faith in the working of God, who raised Him from the dead. And you, being dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, He has made alive together with Him, having forgiven you all trespasses.” What Paul is saying is that for those of us who are saved, being buried with Jesus in baptism at the moment of our spiritual rebirth, eight being the number that represents a new beginning, we were spiritually circumcised, as babes in Christ. We are His body here on earth, the church, and it falls upon us to broadcast or propagate His Life-giving Word to a world that is barren. But if that Life-giving Word is contaminated by the dead works of the flesh, it loses its power to raise those who are dead back to the spiritual life that was once promised to those who would believe. Matthew 5:13 “You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt loses its flavor, how shall it be seasoned? It is then good for nothing but to be thrown out and trampled underfoot by men.” So, going back to our opening do we relent or resist question; the adversities and tribulations we are suffering, are they caused by our losing our saltiness or is it because of our saltiness that we bear then? Your honest answer to that question will guide you into which path you need to take. If you are being trampled underfoot by men, then it is time for you to let go of the flesh that is contaminating the promises of God for your life, and keeping them from coming to full fruition in you. On the other hand, if you are being persecuted for taking a firm stand on the Word of God in this corrupt world, for salt is the antidote to corruption, then you should bear the tribulations gladly, for they are a sign of the effectiveness of your walk with Jesus Christ. 1 Peter 4:12-14 “Beloved, do not think it strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened to you; but rejoice to the extent that you partake of Christ’s sufferings, that when His glory is revealed, you may also be glad with exceeding joy. If you are reproached for the name of Christ, blessed are you, for the Spirit of glory (your spiritual walk) and of God rests upon you. On their part He is blasphemed, but on your part He is glorified.” Previous Next Home

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