THE NINETY-NINE To strengthen believers in their identity as the ninety-nine — those who remain steadfast in Christ — by revealing how God both rejoices over the one who returns and trusts the faithful to endure through the power of the Holy Spirit. This teaching will clarify how believers stray, how they remain secure, and how knowledge of the Word keeps us grounded, focused, and victorious until Christ returns. < Back THE NINETY-NINE Minister Lisa Kane March 4, 2026 Objective: To strengthen believers in their identity as the ninety-nine — those who remain steadfast in Christ — by revealing how God both rejoices over the one who returns and trusts the faithful to endure through the power of the Holy Spirit. This teaching will clarify how believers stray, how they remain secure, and how knowledge of the Word keeps us grounded, focused, and victorious until Christ returns. Synopsis: In The Ninety-Nine, Minister Lisa Kane explores the parable of the lost sheep in Luke 15 and Matthew 18, shifting the focus from the one who strays to the ninety-nine who remain. While heaven rejoices over the one who repents, this teaching highlights a powerful truth: the ninety-nine represent faithful believers who keep their eyes fixed on Christ and continue running the race. How does one stray? By taking their eyes off God and neglecting the knowledge of His Word. But those who remain grounded in Scripture, strengthened by the Holy Spirit, and anchored in faith are trusted by God to stand firm while He seeks the lost. Through scriptures such as 2 Timothy 4:7, Galatians 6:9, John 14–17, Colossians 3:1-3, and 1 John 4:4, this message reveals that believers are not abandoned. Jesus prepared a place for us, left us His Helper and peace, and prayed prophetically that none would be lost. This teaching calls believers to remember who they are — the ninety-nine — secure, equipped, and empowered. Stand on the knowledge of God. Keep your eyes on Him. Do not stray. And rest in the assurance that even if you stumble, the Good Shepherd will pursue you with rejoicing. You are kept. You are trusted. You are His. Inspired Teaching: Luke 15:2-7 NKJV 2 And the Pharisees and scribes complained, saying, “This Man [a]receives sinners and eats with them.” 3 So He spoke this parable to them, saying: 4 “What man of you, having a hundred sheep, if he loses one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the wilderness, and go after the one which is lost until he finds it? 5 And when he has found it, he lays it on his shoulders, rejoicing. 6 And when he comes home, he calls together his friends and neighbors, saying to them, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep which was lost!’ 7 I say to you that likewise there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine [b]just persons who need no repentance. This parable is talking about salvation. I published a teaching called Lost and Found on January 9, 2026, pointing out salvation through these parables taught in Luke 15. That teaching focused on what salvation is and how it differs between the different moments in life all of face. And just like the coin that the woman lost in Luke 15:8, (taught in Lost and Found), here one strays from the group, in essence becomes lost. The coin symbolizes losing the value of the benefits that we receive as believers in Christ. You can check this out in Lost and Found. Let’s read this further in Matthew 18. Matthew 18:10-14 NKJV 10 “Take heed that you do not despise one of these little ones, for I say to you that in heaven their angels always see the face of My Father who is in heaven. 11 For[c] the Son of Man has come to save that which was lost. 12 “What do you think? If a man has a hundred sheep, and one of them goes astray, does he not leave the ninety-nine and go to the mountains to seek the one that is straying? 13 And if he should find it, assuredly, I say to you, he rejoices more over that sheep than over the ninety-nine that did not go astray. 14 Even so it is not the will of your Father who is in heaven that one of these little ones should perish. In this teaching, I want to focus on the ninety-nine. So, who are the ninety-nine, and how does one become separated from the whole? The ninety-nine are the saved believers in Christ. In Matthew’s version, we read that the one ‘strayed’ from the ninety-nine. How does a believer stray? By taking his/her eyes off of God and not recognizing the knowledge of the Word of God in us. The ninety-nine keep the race. They do not take their eyes off of God. They remain focused staying on the Word of God through the knowledge we receive every time we read His word. 2 Timothy 4:7 NKJV 7 I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Galatians 6:9 NKJV 9 And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart. And yet, God and His angels celebrate greatly when the one that strayed, became lost is once again found, brought back to the fold. But what about the ninety-nine? God doesn’t rejoice over us keeping the faith. He TRUSTS us to maintain while He leaves to go get the lost. John 14:1-4 NKJV “Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me. 2 In My Father’s house are many [a]mansions; if it were not so, [b]I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. 3 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. 4 And where I go you know, and the way you know.” God is trusting us to keep the faith but He won’t let us get too far away. Jesus goes to prepare a place for us, but didn’t leave us alone. He left us the Helper, Comforter, the Holy Spirit, and a peace in which we do not fear while He is away getting the lost and establishing a place for us. John 14:25-28 NKJV 25 “These things I have spoken to you while being present with you. 26 But the [g]Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you. 27 Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. 28 You have heard Me say to you, ‘I am going away and coming back to you.’ If you loved Me, you would rejoice because [h]I said, ‘I am going to the Father,’ for My Father is greater than I. Jesus leaves the ninety-nine and leaves us prepared with His comforter, and His peace. Meaning, we have everything we need to get through our life here on earth. He expects the ninety-nine to walk with the Helper, Comforter, Holy Spirit until He returns. John 17:12 NKJV 12 While I was with them [e]in the world, I kept them in [f]Your name. Those whom You gave Me I have kept; and none of them is [g]lost except the son of [h]perdition, that the Scripture might be fulfilled. Jesus prayed to God that He will not lose one. So, He will always go after the one who strayed, while the rest who do not stray are safe and secured under His prophecy prayer in John 17 and under the Helper, Comforter, the Holy Spirit. John 17:1-5 NKJV Jesus spoke these words, lifted up His eyes to heaven, and said: “Father, the hour has come. Glorify Your Son, that Your Son also may glorify You, 2 as You have given Him authority over all flesh, that He [a]should give eternal life to as many as You have given Him. 3 And this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent. 4 I have glorified You on the earth. I have finished the work which You have given Me to do. 5 And now, O Father, glorify Me together [b]with Yourself, with the glory which I had with You before the world was. Take the time and read the rest of John 17. Jesus is praying and prophesying over each of us. This is knowledge that we need to stand strongly on. Hosea 4:6a NKJV 6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Because you have rejected knowledge,… Let’s not forget who we are. We are the ninety-nine that God has placed us under the Helper, Comforter, Holy Sprit who will keep us and walk us through anything we face. Colossians 3:1-3 NKJV If then you were raised with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ is, sitting at the right hand of God. 2 Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth. 3 For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. 1 John 4:4 NKJV 4 You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world. And remember, the parable of the one going astray in Matthew 18 is written in the context of the little ones, children. Matthew 18:6 NKJV 6 “But whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to sin, it would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck, and he were drowned in the depth of the sea. Matthew 18:10-11 NKJV 10 “Take heed that you do not despise one of these little ones, for I say to you that in heaven their angels always see the face of My Father who is in heaven. 11 For[c] the Son of Man has come to save that which was lost. Be a child of God and stand on His Word. You are saved by Him going to the cross redeeming you. Keep the race. Keep your eyes on Him, and don’t stray but know that Jesus will always bring you back and rejoice over it. Previous Next Home

House of Faith Ministries (HoFM) highlights past messages reminding you that those messages still apply to today. BLAST FROM THE PAST HOW TO DISCERN A SPIRITUAL TRAP Pastor Marcos Marrero Objective: The objective of How to Discern a Spiritual Trap is to equip believers with biblical understanding and spiritual sensitivity so that they can recognize and avoid the snares of the enemy. By examining Jesus’ rebuke of James and John, this teaching highlights the danger of allowing anger, vengeance, or misplaced zeal to dictate our actions, reminding us to remain aligned with Christ’s mission to save lives, not destroy them. Synopsis: In this lesson, Pastor Marcos Marrero unpacks the story in Luke 9 where a Samaritan village rejects Jesus and His disciples, leading James and John to suggest calling down fire from heaven as Elijah once did. Jesus rebukes them, revealing that they had not discerned the spirit behind their reaction. The teaching draws parallels between Elijah’s encounter with King Ahaziah’s men and Jesus’ final journey to Jerusalem, showing how Satan often tries to derail God’s servants by tempting them to deviate from their true calling. The “trap” is in allowing righteous anger, offense, or hostility to replace Christ’s Spirit of mercy, compassion, and salvation. Pastor Marcos explains that the enemy seeks to disarm Christians by causing them to respond to hatred with hatred, thereby rendering them unfit for Kingdom service. Instead, believers must remain steadfast in Jesus’ mission: to heal the brokenhearted, set captives free, and save the lost. The true fire from heaven is not for destruction but for bringing light, conviction, and revelation. Ultimately, discerning a spiritual trap means recognizing when we are being lured away from Christ’s nature and into the enemy’s agenda. Victory comes by keeping our hearts aligned with Jesus’ Spirit of love and mercy, trusting God’s timing for judgment, and staying faithful to the calling of the Gospel. Inspired Teaching - Written and/or Transcribed from Video Above: Luke 9:55-56 “But He turned and rebuked them, and said, ‘You do not know what manner of spirit you are of. For the Son of Man did not come to destroy men’s lives but to save them.’ And they went to another village.” The context for the above verses have to do with the fact that Jesus knew that this was His last ministry trip as He was going up to Jerusalem to be crucified. Jesus sent messengers ahead of His ministry team to prepare the people of the villages that He was passing through on His way to Jerusalem, for He wanted to do as much ministry work as possible on behalf of those who needed His ministry before His crucifixion. A Samaritan village upon hearing from the messengers, that Jesus wanted to minister to them before going up to Jerusalem, did not receive them because of the fact that He was going to Jerusalem, and the Samaritans of that village did not want anything to do with the Jews of Jerusalem. The Jews of that day did not consider the Samaritans to be Jewish enough to worship in Jerusalem, so the Samaritans had to worship God in Samaria instead, and there was a rivalry between them as to where the proper place to worship God was. James and John upon hearing from the messengers that the village that they were about to enter did not welcome them, said this: Luke 9:54 “...Lord, do You want us to command fire to come down from heaven and consume them, just as Elijah did?” Jesus rebuked them for not having the same spirit in their hearts for ministry that He had; and this is the part that I want our focus to be for this lesson. We need to consider what type of spirit is it that rules in our hearts as we engage in our pursuit of preaching the Gospel that Jesus preached to the masses. There are so many really bad things going on right now, everywhere, that if at some point you don’t feel like James and John felt at that time and wished that you could call fire down from heaven, then you better check your pulse. I know, we know better than that, thank God for hindsight; but not everybody is aware of this spirit of rage that can just rise up at any minute, even within holy apostles, and we need to learn how to discern and how to stay away from their hidden traps. Jesus rebuked against James and John had to do more with their failure to recognize this spirit for what it was, a spirit of antichrist, than for the foolishness of what they wanted to do. Luke 4:18-19 “The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me, because He has anointed Me to preach the gospel (good news, not bad news) to the poor; He has sent Me to heal (not to kill) the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who are oppressed; to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord.” Nowhere in our Lord’s mission statement do we see the words, to bring fire down from heaven. Now isn’t He God? Yes He is! Does He have the power to bring down fire from heaven upon anyone He chooses? Yes He does! But if you are called by God to the ministry, then you better find out quick which type of ministry you are called to fulfill on God’s behalf before you start vaporizing people. It is true that Elijah had called fire down from heaven after prophesying that the injured king of Israel that ruled from Samaria was going to die. 2 Kings 1:2-4 “Now Ahaziah fell through the lattice of his upper room in Samaria, and was injured; so he sent messengers and said to them, ‘Go, inquire of Baal-Zebub, the god of Ekron, whether I shall recover from this injury.’ But the angel of the Lord said to Elijah the Tishbite, ‘Arise, go up to meet the messengers of the king of Samaria, and say to them, “Is it because there is no God in Israel that you are going to inquire of Baal-Zebub, the god of Akron?” Now therefore, thus says the Lord: “You shall not come down from the bed to which you have gone up, but you shall surely die.”’ So Elijah departed.” When we read our opening Scripture within the greater historical context we can see the trap that the spirit of antichrist was trying to set up against Jesus’ ministry team. It was from Samaria the capitol of Israel at that time, that the king of Israel highly insulted the Lord by trying to bypass God’s duly instituted Elijah’s prophetic ministry, and instead sent seeking for the counsel of Satan himself, the representative of everything that is in opposition to God and His goodness, just like antichrist is the total opposite of who Christ is and His goodness. So that we have messengers, Samaritans, the spirit of antichrist and Satan, all involved in an intricate spiritual plot to try and derail the ministry of Jesus who has been anointed to preach the Gospel of good news to the poor by the Spirit of the Living God. What is troubling about this story is that the two disciples fell for it. Now when the king of Israel saw that his messengers return so quickly, he asked them why had they disobeyed his orders and returned without accomplishing what he had commanded them, to seek the counsel of Satan on behalf of the nation of Israel. He was told that a man had ordered them to return to the king. So the king asked them who was the man that had spoken to them with such authority. 2 Kings 1:8 “So they answered him, ‘A hairy man wearing a leather belt around his waist.’ And he (the king) said, ‘It is Elijah the Tishbite.’” So that the king knew that Elijah was a prophet of God, called to speak on God’s behalf as it concerned the nation of Israel and its kings. Angry at Elijah for prophesying that he would not recover from his injuries, he sent a garrison of fifty soldiers to fetch Elijah. 2 Kings 1:10 “So Elijah answered and said to the captain of fifty, ‘If I am a man of God, then let fire come down from heaven and consume you and your fifty men.’ And fire came down from heaven and consumed him and his fifty.” Now keep in mind that all of this is taking place during the time when Elijah was being prepared to be taken up to heaven, just like Jesus was. 2 Kings 2:1 “And it came to pass, when the Lord was about to take up Elijah into heaven by a whirlwind…” Luke 9:51 “Now it came to pass, when the time had come for Him (Jesus) to be received up, that He steadfastly set His face to go to Jerusalem.” And now we see that when the time had come for Jesus to be received up, as He is headed for Jerusalem trying to minister to as many people as He can before He goes back to heaven, how the devil tried to derail the ministry of Jesus in the same manner that he tried to derail the ministry of Elijah before He was taken up. The way to derail a ministry is by causing it to deviate from its original calling. Jesus ministry was that of: For the Son of Man did not come to destroy men’s lives but to save them. So the devil by his craftiness tried to use a historical instance recorded in Scripture, along with fanning the flames of anti-Samaritan feelings that were so prevalent among the Jewish people of that day, to change the course of Jesus’ ministry from that of saving peoples lives into destroying them. And if he is able to do that right before Jesus the leader of the ministry is taken away, so that while He is gone the deviation cannot be corrected, then the whole purpose of the ministry is forever altered, from that of being a ministry that aims to save people, to one that ends up destroying them. Although I am using the word ministry as an example, my aim here is more into the personal side of things. Let me explain: Luke 9:62 “...No one, having put his hand to the plow, and looking back, is fit for the Kingdom of God.” Satan is not so stupid as to think that he can derail that which the Lord has established, but if he can disarm as many of the Lord’s servants as he can, then the kingdom of God is hindered. A Christian is disarmed when he/she looks at the circumstances, that is what looking back means, instead of focusing on the foundational principles of our calling. We need to stay away from the frustrations that our present day evil brings; there is so much perversion going on, there is a total disregard for the truth, there is so much hate emanating from people that do not even have a clue as to what Christianity is. We need to understand that people have been blinded by the lies of this present age, and that Jesus came to bring recovery of sight to the blind. The fire that we call from heaven upon them is not for their destruction but for their enlightenment. If we fall into the trap of hating back those who hate us, then we are not in the same manner of spirit that Jesus is and become disqualified, not fit for the Kingdom of God. I know, it is so hard to pray for a world that murders innocent children by the millions and then calls it a choice, but let us keep in mind that God does not rejoice in their destruction, for He is not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. So let us not fall into the temptations of hate and vengeance for in due time God will deal with all the treachery, and when He does it will not be pretty. Luke 10:10-11 “But whatever city you enter, and they do not receive you, go out into the streets and say, ‘The very dust of your city which clings to us we wipe off against you. Nevertheless know this, that the Kingdom of God has come near you.’” If it helps, know that the ministry of the Kingdom of God is two fold, the main and present purpose is to convert those who live in darkness into the liberty of God’s enlightenment, our part in this present ministry is simple, staying true to the fact that Jesus came not to destroy lives but to save them. John 3:17 “For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.” As long as we keep the same reference of mind with the mind of Jesus, that is how we know that we are of the same manner of Spirit with Him, no matter how much the evil perpetrated by the world keeps pushing us into repaying evil with evil, we will not budge. Now the second part of the two fold ministry of the Kingdom of God is reserved for the day of the great judgment. I guess that we could say that God is not judging the world as much for the evil that it did, but rather for the fact that it refused the opportunity to receive the freedom that it was offered by the demonstration of God’s great love. Luke 10:12-13 “But I say to you that it will be more tolerable in that Day for Sodom than for that city (the city that refused to receive the Kingdom of God). Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the mighty works which were done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago, sitting in sackcloth and ashes.” But how can the judgment of God be rendered to them if the Kingdom of God has not been clearly demonstrated to them. In a sense we could say that the devil, by drawing us into the trap of repaying evil with evil, is trying to lessen the very judgment that will befall all those who have rejected the Gospel of Jesus the Anointed One. After Elijah had called down fire from heaven to fall consequently upon the two captains and their fifty men squads that were sent to arrest him, the third captain fell down before Elijah and pleaded for mercy. If he disobeyed the king he would have been killed instantly, and going to arrest Elijah meant certain death as well for him and his fifty men. But he trusted in the God of mercy to deliver him out of an unwinnable situation, and God answered him with mercy. 2 Kings 1:13-15 “Again, he sent a third captain of fifty with his fifty men. And the third captain of fifty went up, and came and fell on his knees before Elijah, and pleaded with him, and said to him: ‘Man of God, please let my life and the life of these fifty servants of yours be precious in your sight. Look, fire has come down from heaven and burned up the first two captains of fifties with their fifties. But let my life now be precious in your sight.’ And the angel of the Lord said to Elijah, ‘Go down with him…’” So that the fire was never really in Elijah’s hand, it was always in the hands of the angel of the Lord. Notice that the wise captain’s plead was two fold, he said, we were sent here to arrest you but we are now your servants, and since we are now God’s servants, ready to do His will, our lives are now precious to the Lord, and he made that fact the second part of his plead. By doing it that way the spiritual trap that was set before Elijah was disarmed and God was able to show them mercy; and at the same time God’s conviction of their horrible sin of seeking Satan’s advice over God’s counsel was never weakened nor compromised. Justice and love prevailed! Home

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

UNDERSTANDING THE BOOK OF REVELATION PART 9 Equip believers to understand the prophetic flow of Revelation—from the close of the Church Age to Christ’s return, the Millennium, and the Final Judgment—so we live ready, bold, and anchored in the finished work (the blood) of Jesus while urging others to repentance and hope. UNDERSTANDING THE BOOK OF REVELATION PART 9 Pastor Marcos Marrero June 28, 2009 Objective: Equip believers to understand the prophetic flow of Revelation—from the close of the Church Age to Christ’s return, the Millennium, and the Final Judgment—so we live ready, bold, and anchored in the finished work (the blood) of Jesus while urging others to repentance and hope. Synopsis: The message opens in prayer, inviting the Holy Spirit’s blessing promised to those who read Revelation. The teaching then walks through a compressed timeline: Church Age & Rapture: The faithful (Philadelphia) are caught up; the lukewarm (Laodicea) face purification on earth. Two Witnesses (1,260 days): Identified as Elijah and Enoch; they prophesy, are killed, raised, and ascend—after which a representative vacuum on earth sets the stage for the Antichrist. Antichrist’s Unopposed Rule (1,290 days): Global control and coercion to receive the mark of the beast. An angel warns (Rev 14:9–11): taking the mark brings eternal judgment. Harvests & Martyrs: Christ reaps those who refused the mark; they appear on the sea of glass mixed with fire (Rev 15:2–3), singing the songs of Moses and the Lamb—Jews and Christians purified and rewarded before entering the temple presence. Seven Bowl Judgments (Rev 16): Targeted, righteous judgments mirror spiritual realities—incurable sores (uncleanness), waters to blood (corrupted life), scorching sun (judgment of sun-worship), darkness over the beast’s throne, culminating in a cataclysmic quake in which mountains vanish and Babylon is fully judged. Heavenly Scene (Rev 19:1–10): While earth is judged, heaven resounds with “Hallelujahs” and the Marriage of the Lamb; the Bride is clothed in righteous acts. Return of Christ (Rev 19:11–16): Jesus descends on a white horse; by the sword of His mouth He destroys gathered armies (the winepress of God’s wrath). The beast and false prophet are cast alive into the lake of fire. Millennial Kingdom (Rev 20:1–6): Satan is bound 1,000 years; survivors and preserved Israel repopulate the earth under Messiah’s rule of peace and longevity. Final Rebellion & White Throne (Rev 20:7–15): Satan’s brief release culminates in swift defeat. All the unrighteous dead face judgment; those not in the Book of Life are cast into the lake of fire. Call to Readiness: Believers are urged to keep short accounts with God (apply the blood at the “door”), stand as Christ’s ambassadors, reject dead religion, and shine with hope. As the world trends toward centralized control, the Church must proclaim: “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.” Key Themes: the seriousness of the mark, the mercy of God even in judgment, rewards by fire for believers, the certainty of Christ’s victory, and living now with courage, purity, and evangelistic urgency as we await His appearing. Inspired Teaching - Written and/or Transcribed from Video Above: Hallelujah. Father in heaven in Jesus name, we thank you for this opportunity to come together as your body, Father God, and partake of your precious word, which is our life, which is our sustenance, which is what lives in us and moves us, Father God, to love you with all of our hearts. We thank you that as uh we come together to partake of the word in the uh book of Revelation, there's a blessing. You said that those who read it and partake of this um teaching will be blessed and we open ourselves tonight to receive the blessing from the Holy Spirit. Jesus, you said that the Holy Spirit would come to you and take from you and bring it directly to us. Every single one of us here have needs, Father God. And we pray that under the blessing of the teaching of the book of Revelation that the Holy Spirit will take from your hands now that which each and every one of us needs tonight and that he will bring it and impart it to us, Father God, that your name, Lord Jesus, may be glorified for all of the goodness and kindness that you have shown to us because of the precious blood that was shed for us. In Jesus name we pray tonight, Lord. And we thank you for the mighty blessings in Jesus name. Amen. Amen. Amen. Praise God. Hallelujah. How many people are exciting here tonight? I am excited. Praise God. If you got the book, we're going to start on page 70. And uh if not, we're going to start in the Revelation 14 9:11. Revelation 14:911. Now what we have been uh dealing with um so far and I hope uh tonight I think it's going to be our last night. I hope I get to go and conclude all the way um uh to the new Jerusalem. But if you've been with us, you know that we completed, we started talking about the church age, the rapture of the church, the seven-year wrath of God. God is going to put an end to sin, put an end to suffering, put an end to everything in a period of time of seven years. Seven years is 255 days. And uh the final judgment against uh the antichrist takes place in 42 days. And at the end of those 45 days, God restores everything. So from the time that the rapture takes place to the time because when the rapture takes place, we're going to be taking up to the Lord to be with the Lord to meet the Lord in the clouds and be with him in the air. So we're going to be out there while the earth is being purified. uh 2600 days will take that's 7 years and 45 days from the time that we're raptured to the time that Jesus comes down from heaven. It says that uh he's coming on a white horse and and the armies of heaven are following and the saints all dressed in white. That will be a 2600 uh day period. We talked about that the resurrection of the church completes what the Bible calls the church age. There's going to be two types of churches at that time. One is a Philadelphia church who kept the word of God and and the the name of Jesus. That one is taken up. There's a church is called the Leodysa church. Revelation 3:10 I mean 3:20 says yeah 3:10. Behold I stand at the door and knock. If anybody if anybody hears my voice I will come in. That church does not have Jesus inside of there. She has denied Jesus. So that church gets left to go through this time of purification. Then we spoke about 1260 days. The two witnesses, these are Elijah and Enoch, two men who never died, come down from heaven. They lay down the law. They prophesy for 1,260 days. At the end of the 1,260 days, they are killed. Their bodies lay on Jerusalem on the Temple Mount probably for three and a half days. At the end of the three and a half days, the spirit from God comes into those dead bodies. They raise up and that is the the second res the the second part of the first resurrection with the rapture. There's a resurrection and then now these people are going to be resurrected. Now, at that time, the Bible says God enters into a covenant. And I think it's in Jeremiah, the scripture is in the book. Um, but God said to Jeremiah, "If you can break my covenant with David, that he will always have a descendant to sit on the throne, then you can break my covenant with day and night. The day and night will not come at their appointed time." And so uh uh through David as a son through Israel and then through the church God David has always had a descendant. That means somebody that is anointed by God to represent God here on the earth for the last 2,000 years. We the church have been the representative of God. As a matter of fact, Paul says that we are ambassadors. An ambassador is a person who represents another nation in another nation. you know, if I'm made an ambassador to Kuwait, you know, and I go over there, I I I go to the, you know, the president or or their their ministry and I show my credentials here. The United States is sending me as an ambassador. I become a representative of the United States to that nation. That's what we are. Because in reality, when we accepted Jesus Christ, we die and we're now seated at at the right hand of the father uh uh with Jesus. But we are kept here as ambassadors. And so as ambassadors, we represent God. Now when the rapture takes place, we're not here anymore. That's why the two witnesses come and seal 144,000 12,000 from a tribe of Israel. Now they're anointed to be the ambassadors to God. Now when the two witnesses are killed and they're removed, we found out that time stopped. When evening came, the sun refused to sit down. Why? Because the covenant with David has been broken. They from that time on there's now not one person representative uh representing God's interest here on the earth because the two witnesses have been killed. They have been resurrected. That's why Jesus said when you see the abomination that causes desolation. Desolation means vacated. That means there's there's no representative. Now, this is the time of the antichrist where we're going to be talking tonight. The antichrist at that time when the the time starts moving up again, the antichrist will take over control of everything that is in the world. That means that whatever nation is not going along with the program at that time, he will be the total and complete dictator. His rule will last on opposed for 1,290 days. By the time the 200 1,290 days comes to an end, he would have already forced everybody who is alive at that time to take a mark. And the angel, who's the one that's going to proclaim the gospel at that time, is going to come flying and it's going to tell everybody, "Whatever you do, don't take the mark of the beast." Because if you take the mark of the beast, you're going to be in hell for eternity. So at the end of those 1290 days, every person who has not taken the mark of the beast and that the antichrist was able to get a hold of will be beheaded. But that is a time, the end of 1290 days, when the judgments of God, and this is what we're dealing with tonight. We're going to go to the scriptures right now. That's when the judgment of God begins upon the antichrist. Third judgment is going to be 42 days. It's going to begin in a Sabbath and it's going to end on the Sabbath. So, it's going to be seven Sabbath. But since it begins on one, it's going to be uh six weeks, 6* 7 is 42. So, I just gave you an idea there as to where we're going to start. Now, let's go to the um uh let me see. I said Revelation 14 9:11, right? Okay. Then a third angel followed them saying with a loud voice, "If anyone worship the beast and his image and receive his mark on his forehead or on his hand, he himself shall also drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out full strength into the cup of his indignation. And he, whoever the person is that takes the mark of the beast, shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the lamb. And the smoke of their torment ascend forever and ever. And they have no rest day or night who worship the beast and his image. And whoever received the mark of his name. Now during this time uh that is just beginning right now. The the people that are left on the earth I believe are the people that were so demonized that were not able number one to receive the gospel like we do now and to be saved or during the ministry of the two witnesses. They were so demonized that they couldn't let other demons go and and do what the two witnesses said they had to do in order to be saved. What is going to take place in this time is that now Satan is when when Babylon the great, which is where all of the demons come from, is judged. Satan is the only entity that is going to be left. And then the people who were so demonpossessed or demonized, they were so great influence on their demons. When those demons are removed from them, now for the first time, they can see. And so these people that now repent and refuse to accept the mark of the beast are going to be killed. But the reason why I believe that they're able to now be saved after living through all of that other stuff is that now for the first time they can see. So in Revelation 14:14-16, now we see the the resurrection of those who were beheaded said, "Then I look and behold a white cloud and on the cloud sat one like the son of man having on his head a golden crown and in his hand a sharp sickle. And another angel came out of the temple crying with a loud voice to him who sat on the cloud. He says, "Trust in your sickle and reap, for the time has come for you to reap, for the harvest of the earth is ripe. So he who sat on the cloud trusted in his sickle of the earth and the earth was reaped." Now this is the people that were reaped. Look at Revelation 15. Just go ahead a little bit. Revelation 15, next chapter, verse 2, three, and verse 8. These are the people that were just reap or resurrected. He says, "And I saw something like a sea of glass mingle with fire, and those who have the victory over the beast, over his image, and over his mark, and over the number of his name, standing on the sea of glass, having harps of God." And listen what they do. They sing the song of Moses, the servant of God, and the song of the lamb. That means that these were Jews and Christians. Now you say, "Man, how come uh uh uh through all of that there were Christians that were not saved and there were Jews that were not saved?" Well, if you look at the the Revelation chapter 7 when the 12 tribes were sealed, we know that two of the tribes were cursed back in in in uh during the times of Moses and that Joseph's two sons became tribes to replace them. So when you look at the tribes that were sealed in revelation chapter 7, we find out that Dan and Ephraim wasn't there. Two tribes were not there. So it means these are still Jews. They're still under the covenant of the law, but they have not been sealed. And we also see that that layout they say a church, the church that says, I don't have a need of God. You know, she trusted on her religion and on her wealth and on her gold and silver, which is a type of selfishness, which is where the demon strength is at. Well, once these um demons were removed from these people because uh uh uh Babylon the great is judged during this 1290 days and all of these demons are locked up. He said Babylon becomes a cage to every foul bird and to every foul spirit. So now these people see this is how merciful God is. If you look at this, God is pleading with mankind today to get saved so that they can be spared. See, God is coming to the earth. Uh Jesus Christ is going to rule and reign on the earth for a thousand years. But the earth is contaminated. Everything that has breath is contaminated with demonic things. And just like the children of Israel, when they went into the promised land, they were told to kill every old man, every old woman, every man, every woman, every child, every uh goat, every everything that had breath of life had to be destroyed. Why? Because those Canaanites were so demonized that everything was infected with demonic things. And if the Israelites, like they did, refused to clean it all completely, one generation later, they were all demonized. They were all contaminated. So here we see that God comes in and he says, "My church has the power to bring deliverance. He that calls upon the name of the Lord shall be delivered, shall be saved." This is what the job of the church should be. The job of the church is to break the power of Satan over people so that their eyes can be open and they can see the salvation that God has given them. Okay? And and there's a church that Leo say church that they have taken out of their hymns and songs book the blood because it's offensive. Hello. Who do you think is offended by the blood of Jesus? The demons, they're the ones that don't want to hear about the blood. That's what gets them out. And so this church has had a reputation for centuries. And so this church now says, "Hey, we don't need God. We have our own traditions. We have everything. And so these people have to go through this time of of persecution and trials until finally the power, the demonic power that blinds him is removed. And then we see here through the mercy of God that even though they missed the gospel, even though they missed the the the witness of the two witnesses and miss what they had to do, here come the time where now Satan is going to be judged. And what God does? God locks up every foul demon spirit to give these people one more chance for salvation. And guess what? They receive it because they refuse to accept the mark of the beast. And in Revelation 15 uh 2 and three, we see that they have the they're mingled with fire. That means these people were saved through through hell, through trials. And and those who have the victory over the beast, over his image, and over his mark and over the number of his name. They're standing on this sea of glass, which is around the temple or outside of the court. They are given harps so that they can worship God. The Jews sing the song of Moses, a servant of God. The Christian sings the song of the lamb. And then on verse eight, the temple was filled with smoke from the glory of God and from his power. And no one was able to enter the temple till the seven plagues of the seven angels were completed. And we talked about last week about the mark of the beast and the 666, which is 666* 2 is 1,332 days. That's the whole period of time where the temple is vacated. In other words, there there's no um godly representative. That's the time of the antichrist. And then we said that the church was formed by the number 153. Songs of Elohim or children of life have a numerical value in Hebrew. The numerical value of 153. So these two here belong to that number 53 except they could not be saved until their strongholds were removed and now they're not able to enter into the temple. Why? Because 42 days have to take place where the plagues of the judgment of God come. So they are outside like on a sea of glass mingle with fire and that is where their judgment takes place. Remember the church has to go into a judgment of fire. Jes uh Paul says that all of us must appear before the judgment seat of Christ. The judgment seat of Christ is a a judgment of fire, but it's not of salvation because he says you you're going to go through this fire and and that you may lose everything, but you're still going to be saved even by the uh the the the skin of your thieves teeth that you don't have no skin there. But salvation is guaranteed in Jesus. But there had to be a a a a judgment because in heaven all of us are going to have a rank or a standing. And we're judged according to faith according to what we did with the salvation that God gave us. So when we died, before we're taken into the temple of God, we go into this labor where we're judged. And the judgment comes and and basically the question is going to be, did you build silver uh uh silver, gold, or precious stone? Or do you build with wood, hay, and stubble? Because it's fire. The fire is going to judge you. Everything you did with a good heart, with a good motive, and you did it for the Lord, all of that is going to survive. Jesus said you cannot give a cup of water to somebody in my name that you will not receive a reward for it. But everything you did for self vanity, you wanted to be the preacher, you wanted to be the double and and and it it was because of self that is wood s the fire is going to burn it. So we get our rankings at that time. Well, we saw that when the 144,000 uh were raised up along with the two witnesses and the people from the first half, they also had to appear before a fire to receive the rewards of the prophets and of the servants and of the different people that were there. Well, it's the same thing with these people. Now, they're going before this this sea uh that is mingle with fire and they're going to receive the uh uh their reward. Okay. Then um let me see where were we at. Okay, we're on Revelation 15. Now let's move to um uh Revelation 14. I want to get to the New Jerusalem. So I'm kind of rushing a little bit. Revelation 14:17-20. Revelation 14:17, 18, 19, 20. Then another angel came out of the temple which is in heaven. He also having a sharp sickle. And another angel came out of the altar who had power over the fire. And he cried out with a loud voice to him who had the sharp sickle, saying, "Trust in your sharp sicle, and gather the clusters of the vine of the earth, for the grapes are fully ripe." So the angel thrust his sickle into the earth and gathered the vine of the earth and threw threw it into the grain wine presses of the wrath of God. And the wine press was trampled outside the city and blood came out of the wine presses up to the horses bridles for 1,600 furongs. Now you see that this is the final judgment. At the end of the 1,290 days, he comes with a sickle first and reaps everybody that has not taken the mark of the beast, they're taken to the outside of the temple where there's a sea of glasses mingled with fire and that's where they do their judgment. They cannot go into the temple until this last plague is done. Then God says, "Now the angel takes the same sickle and is going to gather everybody that has the mark of the beast to a place where they're going to be judged." Now, we know that this is going to take place in Jerusalem. Once the antichrist takes complete power and he has all of the nations of the world under his control, his number one job is to keep Jesus from coming back down into the temple. So 200 million men said that will come from the east. The river Euphrates is right up. He's going to have armies march the what is called Israel today, the Judeian hills. That place is going to be filled with millions of soldier covering every square inch of the earth at that time and their job is going to be to prevent Jesus from coming down. Now we know that uh uh he's going to come through the eastern gate and so today because uh any Jewish high priest would defile himself if he would walk on a cemetery. So the Muslims had put a huge cemetery in front of the east gate. They blocked the gate three 400 years ago to keep this uh prophecy from being fulfilled. And then they put a huge cemetery and they've been burying people there for 800 900 years because they know that when Jesus come they're trying to stop him. So this is the idea here. the antichrist is going to bring everybody into there. And then as we will read later when Jesus comes down just the word that he speaks is going to happen that everybody I don't know how they're going to do it but it says the blood is going to fall down roll down those hills up to a horse's bridal. So you got to have a great amount of people all bleeding at the same time. And so the only thing that I can imagine is your jugular is God when he just sends word just like the angel of death or something and it happens and they are they are all destroyed. Everybody except for the antichrist and the false prophet who are taken alive. But I want to give you an insight into what the judgments of God are. Go to Revelation 16 and then this is where where the the judgment is going to happen to them. And I want to give you an insight into how this judgment goes. Revelation 16 verse one. Then I heard a loud voice from the temple saying to the seven angels, go and pour out the bowls of the wrath of God on the earth. Now this is going to complete the judgment of God. Verse two, the first uh angel went and poured out his bow upon the earth, and a power and losome sword came upon the man who had the mark of the beast and those who worship his image. Now, let me give you the insight here. In Bible days, leprosy was a type of sin. If you remember the woman that had the issue of blood, she was unclean. She couldn't come to Jesus. Any person who had any type of skin disease, uh, leprosy was considered unclean. As a matter of fact, the person who had that disease as he was walking, wherever he was walking, had to cry out real loud when anybody was around, unclean, unclean, so that people would stay as far away from them as possible. This is why the the lepous guy uh uh Jesus went and touched him. He violated every rule that you could think of as a high priest. He was contaminating himself. But you see Jesus, he he he uh he's the antidote. You know, when when the woman, they were bringing the widow's son and everybody was crying. He was going into the I think it was um Mahanea. He was going into the the town and he wouldn't have been able to minister in the Sabbath place in in in the synagogue in the Sabbath place by touching a dead body. As a matter of fact, every priest on the town there could not be involved. Uh the law only allow for either the husband of the wife or the father or a brother if a child or if a woman died to be touched by a male because a male will be uh uh unclean. So the law allowed the the the the man of the house to do this and so that um uh he would be unclean for a week or two whatever the period of cleansing was. So this woman being a widow that means she didn't have a husband that means that there was nobody in the town that was take willing to take and defile themsself by wrapping up the dead body of her son. You have to see this. Jesus comes in, sees the multitude coming out. They're all crying and weeping. Here's this woman that probably had to have another woman or somebody else get involved and inbalm in the body. And Jesus goes up in there and reaches and touches the boy. You see, if that boy doesn't come back to life, Jesus cannot meditate anymore until he goes through the purification ritual according to the law of Moses. And this is what we have to see. the the the God is willing to touch no matter how contaminated we are to bring it. But something different has happened here. When you receive the mark of the beast, you get this sword which smells as leprosy. And so that is an incurable disease because watch what it says here. Uh it says that when the uh uh this came uh the the sword came so the people let me read from you Leviticus 13 4 and 5. Leviticus 13:4 and5 says then the priest shall isolate the one who has the sword for seven days and the priest shall examine him on the seventh day. And this is what this is a type of the first uh bowl is poured out on humankind. All of the people had the mark of the beast now have leprosy sword the smell and God waits seven days. See after seven days God the priest would come in to see the condition of the sword. Then what happening over here is because they have received the mark of the vast. Let me give you a secret. During this time that just started guess what's going on? We are being married to the lamb during this time. See the the whole church had to wait until be completed. Had to wait until the church until low until since the end of the 1290 days. All of the saints are finally up. We are being married to the lamb of God. We're becoming one with Jesus. He's becoming our husband and we are the bride of Christ. Guess what? All of the people that accepts the mark of the beast are now the bride of Satan. And they are now becoming the bride of Satan. This is why there's no wiggle room over here. So, while we're up there in heaven, these people are now receiving the judgment. Now, bowl number two in Revelation 16:3. Then the second angel poured out his bowl on the sea, and it became blood as of a dead man, and every living creature in the sea died. Now, here uh it talking about the contamination of the blood. Remember the Bible says that the life is in the blood. These people now have the blood of a dead man. They have the blood of Satan. Basically, they have become one with Satan. So, the seven days pass and other seven days pass. Revelation um uh 16:4-7. Then the third angel poured out his bowl on the rivers and the springs of waters. They became blood. And I heard the angel of the waters saying, "You are righteous, O Lord, the one who is and who was and who is to come, because you have judged these things, for they have shed the blood of saints and prophets, and you have given them blood to drink, for it is their just due." And I heard another uh from the altar say, "Even so, Lord God Almighty, true and righteous are your judgment." Now see how everything it relates to the sore and to the blood and to become in the blood. What what give life to the body to the physical body is blood. You cannot live without blood. You need a certain amount of blood. When Jesus Christ hung on the cross okay because the Bible says the flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God. When Jesus Christ hung on a cross, he was bleeding from the crown of his head because of the thorns that they were driven into his uh face. He was bleeding from his face because he was struck. They hit him on the face. He was uh bleeding from the face. They pulled his beard. He was bleeding from the back because they hit him with 39 lashes that tore uh his back and his shoulder. He was bleeding from his wrist where he was nailed to the cross. He was bleeding from his feet where where he was nailed to the cross. And finally they they took a lance a spear and they pierced his side to where water and blood just flushed out from him. The body of Jesus when he was in the cross was drained of the blood. The Bible tells us that through the eternal spirit that's the Holy Spirit that blood was cut. the life that was in the blood, not the blood itself because the life was in the blood. The spirit of a man is in the is in the blood. So that that life is what was taken up to heaven by the Holy Spirit and it was taken to the ark of the covenant and he was anointing the mercy seat on the ark of the covenant. So when Jesus rose up and went to heaven, the life that Jesus had his new body, because flesh, remember Jesus went up to to Thomas, it says, "Touch me. I'm not a ghost. I have flesh and I have bones." You see, flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, but flesh and bones will. So the question is, what power the the body of Jesus Christ? That's the word of God, the light, the energy. The word of God is lifegiving energy. Hebrews 4:12, for the word of God is alive and powerful. That means the word of God is lifegiving energy. The word became life. And that life is what gives us now life. When we go to heaven, when people think that when you go in the rapture, you don't die. I got news for you. I experienced the rapture. I have it on the beginning of the book there. And when you see Jesus in his holiness in this corrupted body, believe me, you die. Your body shakes and trembles when when Isaiah said, "So the glory of the Lord says, "Oh, oh wo, it's me. I'm undone." That's exactly what happens to your body. Your physical body, the blood that is in it just falls apart continuously. But immediately we're transformed because the spirit man which is connected to the holy spirit because the bible says that the spirit the holy spirit is like a deposit that is in our spirit and when Jesus come that holy spirit that is in us as a deposit shines forth like a light like a bright light and that's what energizes a new body that's what causes the body to become alive and energized. The blood we don't have except for the blood, hallelujah, that is on the ark that speaks of the life of God. That is the energy out of here. And there was a light that would shine all the way through the through through the through the temple. That's called the shakina glory. The visible light of the glory of God. Okay. That blood now is what gives us life. Okay. Now these people who are dead, what is it that is giving them death? the blood, the blood of the saints, the blood of the martyrs, the corrupted blood, the file blood. So you can see the opposite. While we are in heaven being married to the lamb, we don't have blood in us. Our bodies, physical bodies is going to have the life of the energy of the spirit. These people are dead. They're in corrupted polluted blood. Then he goes on to the fourth bowl. Revelation 16 verse 8 and 9. And we read there uh then the fourth angel poured out his bowl on the sun and power was given to him to scorch men with fire and men were scorched with great heat and they blasphemed the name of God who has power over these plagues and they did not repent and give him glory. So why is it that the sun is turning out on all these people? Well, guess what? at the root of all idol worship. It's called Baal worship or sun worship. All of the the people that have worshiped the sun for all of these years are now being judged by the sun. It's it's tremendous heat. It's scorches that they blasphe God. Okay. Move on to the Revelation 16:10. The fifth bowl. Then the fifth angel poured out his ball on the throne of the beast and his kingdom became full of darkness and they know their tongues because of the pain. They blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores and did not repent of their sin. So this is the the continued judgment. Notice that bright darkness. Now what I believe is taking place here. I'll just take a little side trip here. Is uh when when uh Noah's flood took place, the earth was a total and complete different earth that we have today. I believe that um that during the days of Noah, this is why people live 960 years and and those lifespan. Most of the water that we have on the earth today was around the earth. It was like a huge canopy of water. So the earth was like a greenhouse. We had this thick band. Uh Job speaks about it. Swaddling band it's called. And it was clear. So you could see light. You could see it. I believe that this is how the ancients knew the stars. See the stars even though they're very very far away. The water if you put water in a glass it magnifies things. I believe that this water canopy that was over the earth allowed the stars to be view a lot closer. So like a huge magnifying like a huge glass. So that's why they could see the constellation and they they could read what the constellations meant because a constellation from Virgo that speaks about the virgin birth all the way to Leo which talks about Jesus the the lion of the tribe of Judah coming at the end. That's why they could see all of that. This is why they could also uh we know that the Peruvian peoples they uh in and and in in the hills they drove animals that were so far apart that from the earth you cannot even see it that was there. You have to go in a plane very high to see them. Well, they could do that because probably this water canopy uh before the days of Noah reflected. You could actually if the angle was just right, it became like a mirror when the light is shining at an angle and you could see actually the earth where you was. And I think that this is how a lot of these people did that and knew that certain lakes look like a rabbit. Uh there's a lake there that if you look at it from out of space looks like the head of a rabbit. And guess what the name meant on the original uh name? A rabbit. How could these people know that this lake look like a rabbit when the only way that you could see it not even from a plane you had to go almost into outer space? Well, I believe that this was the case. Okay. when uh uh the flood of Noah says that the springs of the of the deep were broken that means the seams of the earth. Okay. When that was open since the earth is is fire on the inside was melted a lot of heat reach out which caused the water to condense and fall into the earth. This is what happened in the days of Noah. Now when since the earth at that time had very few mountains maybe 2,000 3,000 feet highest. Okay. So this water all fell down on the earth in 40 days. And what happens is Home Previous Next

BEHOLD, THE LAMB OF GOD The objective of this message is to help believers gain a deeper understanding of Jesus as the Lamb of God, whose sacrificial death fulfills the Old Testament foreshadowing of the Passover lamb. It seeks to strengthen faith in the power of His blood to redeem, protect, and deliver from destruction, while encouraging believers to walk daily in the assurance of His covenant and covering. BEHOLD, THE LAMB OF GOD Minister Lisa Kane January 19, 2025 Objective: The objective of this message is to help believers gain a deeper understanding of Jesus as the Lamb of God, whose sacrificial death fulfills the Old Testament foreshadowing of the Passover lamb. It seeks to strengthen faith in the power of His blood to redeem, protect, and deliver from destruction, while encouraging believers to walk daily in the assurance of His covenant and covering. Synopsis: This teaching explores the meaning and significance of John’s proclamation, “Behold the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world” (John 1:29). It explains how Jesus’ role as the sacrificial Lamb was foreshadowed in the Passover account of Exodus, where the blood of the lamb marked the homes of Israel for protection from the destroyer. The message draws connections between the Old Testament shadow and the New Testament fulfillment, showing how Jesus’ crucifixion, His shed blood, and the Last Supper instituted the new covenant. Just as the Israelites were preserved by the lamb’s blood on their doorposts, believers today are covered by the blood of Christ, which speaks a better word than Abel’s blood and causes destruction, curses, and judgment to pass over. Through the cross, Jesus fulfilled the law, redeemed humanity, and provided believers with protection, pardon, and victory. Communion is presented as a continual reminder of His sacrifice and covenant, sealing believers under His covering. The message closes with a call to humility, repentance, and faith, urging listeners to stand firm in Christ’s redeeming blood and look forward to His return—not only as the Lamb but also as the coming King. Inspired Teaching - Written and/or Transcribed from Video Above: Hello and welcome to the House of Faith Ministries. I'm Lisa Kane and I'm recording this message on Sunday, January 19th, 2025. Welcome. Glad you can join us. Let's open up in a word of prayer. Father God, we thank you for your word and we bless your word. Let your word not return void. And Father God, I pray that we have a better understanding of the blood of the lamb. That we have a better understanding of your hedge of protection around us. that we can walk and believe in the anointing of your word and know that you've got our back and that we can speak your word and that we can walk away from destruction. Thank you, Lord, for opening our minds to this and bringing up our level of faith. Thank you, Lord, in the name of Jesus. Amen. Amen. I'm very excited about this message. This is called Behold the Lamb of God. Let's go to our opening scripture here. John 1:29. The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him and say, "Behold the lamb of God which taketh away the sin of the world." Ah, he takes away the sin of the world. I love that. So, let's stop for a minute though and think about this for a moment because John knew something that the Israelites should have known and they didn't know. You see, John saw him as the lamb of God and said, "He's coming to take away the sin of the world." But all the Israelites, I think all of them if not most of them were expecting a king. And Jesus said, "No, no, no. He he came as the lamb of God, but he took he came as a king as well, but he took the kingdom off for a moment. Went to the cross and died as the lamb of God, shedding his blood and redeeming us, taking away the sin of the world, which is what John prophesied because it had to be done. So what is the lamb of God? What why did that happen first? Because you know Jesus is coming back a second time and he's coming as king and he didn't the first time which perplexed the Israelites. They don't understand it but God he explains it and Jesus explained it and he's showing us what he is as the lamb of God. So, let's look at who the lamb of God is and what he did did for us because when you get it, oh my goodness gracious, you you're just you're going to understand that the destroyer can never ever touch you. Oh, this is good. So, let's go to Exodus. Let's look at the Passover because the lamb of God is Passover. So, we're going to start here in Exodus 12 3 and 6. Speak ye unto the congregation. Speak ye unto all the congregation of Israel. God is talking to Moses. So, he's telling Moses saying, "In the 10th day of this month, they shall take to them every man a lamb according to the house of their fathers a lamb for a house." Now, uh he explains more. You can go read the whole chapter. I don't have the whole time to to read the chapter here, but I would like to encourage you to do it. He's going to tell you how much of a lamb you may need. You may have to share with your neighbor. Let's say you're only two people in one house, so you know, you can't eat an entire lamb, but you're going to have to eat it all. So the whole point of having this lamb is to eat it all. So go down to verse six. And ye shall keep it until the 14th day of the same month. And the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel shall kill it in the evening. Wait, wait, wait, wait. So you tell Moses, I want you all to take a lamb into your house. They bring a lamb into their house and that lamb is there for four days and then you have to kill it. which is Jesus came down to the earth and he was here for a while. We kept him on the earth. He was here. He kept himself here and then he had to be crucified. Killed. Well, the lamb is killed in each household. Now, the Now, remember, let's let's do a little overall hierarchy stuff here for just a moment. The Old Testament is a shadow of where Jesus was coming. man going and going to do what he was going to do. It shadowed it. It foretold us but a mystery. Whereas the New Testament reveals all the mystery. But the other part of this is that on the earth, everything on the earth is a shadow of everything in heaven. So like uh Moses had to create or uh yeah make create uh the ark of the covenant which has a mercy seat on it. Well, in the heavens there is an ark of the covenant. There's an arc and on there is the mercy seat. And by the way, the blood of Jesus is on that mercy seat. It's also on the one on earth. So this is they they're interacted with one another. So going back to look at the lamb of God, the lamb that the Israelites had to use to come out of Egypt. This is very important. So let's read a little bit more about uh what's going on and why God is setting up this Passover. Uh verse 7. And they shall take of the blood and strike it on the two sideposts and on the upper doorpost of the house houses wherein they shall eat it. And they shall eat the flesh in that night. Roast with fire and unleaven bread and with bitter herbs they shall eat it. So he's saying need you to kill the lamb. Then I want you to take its blood, put it on each of the sidepost. And then I want you to put it on the lentil. And then I want you to eat it all. So we have Jesus who went to the cross. you know, he he went to the cross and he he died. Um, and his body was broken and he was he bled and we take holy communion where we take the unleaven bread or a cracker and we break it. It's bruising. It's got discoloration on it when you bake it. So, it looks like it's bruised. And then you partake of that. You eat it symbolically. you drink of the wine which is the symbol of his blood. This is what he did with the um the last supper. So, and he did it before he went to the cross. So, he was showing him what needed to be done. Well, keep in mind they were shown this at the Passover. So, let's continue on here in verse 12. For I will pass through the land of Egypt this night. What's going on here? Because let's look at this. Now, if you read everything, the the Egyptians had 10 plagues against them. So, we're talking about the 10th plague, the nine plagues, the lice, the frogs, and so forth. You can go read about the plagues. The 10th plague, God is coming in to take the firstborn son of all the people and of all the land. So firstborn cow, male cow, he was taken. Um if he but God who says he's going to do all this, he said, "I need to protect you, Israel." So he's giving Israel some protection because God says, "My spirit is coming to destroy." He's going to take the firstborn. Why? Why does the firstborn need to be taken? Do you remember what Pharaoh did? He told the midwives to kill all the maleborn children of Israel because they thought they were getting too great because they were slaves and they couldn't control them any longer. And so now God decides to demonstrate his power by hardening Pharaoh's heart. And so he sent these 10 plagues and the 10th one was the killer. This was the one. But see, God has to send his destroyer to everyone. The law is for everyone. Not just for Jesus to fulfill it and for us to let it go. Okay, let's read these scriptures. Let's keep that in the back of our mind as we read these scriptures. I really want you to get this. For I will pass through the land of Egypt this night and will smite all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man and beast. and against all the gods of Egypt, I will execute judgment. I am the Lord, and the blood shall be to you for a token upon the houses where ye are. And when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and the plague shall not be upon you to destroy you when I smite the land of Egypt." Okay? Want you to get this. So he's telling them, "Put the blood on your doorpost and on the lentil and you go inside your home. You stay there." So during the night, the spirit of the Lord, spirit of destruction, the destroyer comes and he takes all the firstborn sons that were in a home or out in the field that were not covered or in the doorway of the blood. Okay, let's look a little further about this because I want you to get it. In um Luke says, "Now the feast of unleven bread drew nigh which is called the Passover." So when God passed over these houses, his spirit passed over the houses, it became a feast, a celebration that they needed to celebrate. So the Israelites, they have the blood covering over them every year by putting the blood on their post and on their lentil. And the spirit of God passes over them. So Jesus is the lamb of God. He's the lamb that had to be killed. It was in their feast. But you know, remember the Old Testament is a mystery. So they didn't understand what was going on. So as Jesus came and he had the last supper with his disciples, he's the Passover. So he's becoming the Passover. Let's take a look at that last supper a little bit more. 22 Luke 22:es 1 and 2 and then verse 7. Now the feast of unleven bread drew nigh, which is called the Passover, and the chief priests and scribes sought how they might kill him, for they feared the people. Then came the day of unleven bread when the Passover must be killed. So Jesus is going to be killed on Passover because he is the Passover lamb. And keep in mind uh Caiaphas, he's the one who kind of prophesied we need to kill the one before it ruins the many. So this is if you go read all of that that's in John, you'll be able to see all the manipulation, everything that's going on, but not just like by the Pharisees and the priests, but by Jesus, too. He's manipulating the whole thing to make certain he gets to that cross. That was his agenda. You see, he came, yes, as a king, but he had to lay down his kingdom and stand up as the lamb of God and take away the sin of the world first, which is what he did. Luke 22:14. And when the hour was come, he sat down and the twel apostles with him. And he said unto them, with desire, I have desired to eat the Passover with you before I suffer. For I say unto you, I will not anymore eat thereof until it be fulfilled in the kingdom of God. And he took the cup and gave thanks and said, Take this and divide it among yourselves. For I say unto you, I will not drink of the fruit of the vine until the kingdom of God shall come. And he took bread and gave thanks and broke it and gave unto them saying this is my body which is given for you this do in remembrance of me. This or likewise also the cup after supper saying this cup is the new testament in my blood which is shed for you. Now we know that he just had holy communion with his disciples the last supper. So he says, "Break this is my body." And then he says, "Drink this is my blood." Now we know he got to the cross. We know he was crucified. He um had a crown of thorns placed on his head. He was scorged or whi whipped in his back, 39 lashes I believe it is, and he was torn up in his back. Uh they had nailed his hands and his feet to the cross, and he bled from those areas. But and and the whole point of the cross, by the way, is suffocation at its crulest, if you ask me. But basically, when they pin your feet down, there's a little um shelf for you to be able to push yourself up because when you are on the cross and you let you loosen your muscles, it compresses the lungs. You can't breathe. So, in order to breathe, you had to push yourself up, take a breath, and then collapse. And it got harder and harder because every time you push yourself up on a broken heel, bruised heel. If you go look at the curses against the Satan in Genesis, you will see that Jesus heel was bruised. Well, when he pushes himself up on that bruised heel that's hurting, it's in he's in pain. He's in a lot of pain. He has to take his breath in that pain and then come down. Now, what's going on in his body is a whole lot of things. He's suffocating, which his heart is working twice as fast, if not quadruple fast. You know, it's moving to try to get enough oxygen to the brain to keep the brain alive. So, the rest of the body starts shutting down. And it got to the point where the the um heart is pumping so fast, so hard that the water and the blood separate. So when the centurion came because they could not have people uh on the cross for Passover, he broke the legs of the two thieves and then he stabbed Jesus because he it looked like Jesus was already dead. So he is just going to make certain. So he stabs him in his side and blood and water flowed. And when that blood hit the ground, it shook the ground. And with that cross standing there, it split the ground. That blood went down into the ground and it landed on the mercy seat. The uh ark of the covenant on the earth is hidden underneath that cross and the mercy seat landed there. It was also placed on the mercy seat in heaven. And Jesus took away the sin of the world. Now what does that mean? What where does this go? Because I want you to see something here that I think is powerful. Let's read the next scripture first. Says Hebrews 4:12:24, "And to Jesus the mediator." He's the go-between of the new covenant contract and to the blood of sprinkling that speaketh better things than that of Abel. Abel is the when you are killed, your blood is on the ground and it is calling out to God for revenge. Avenge me. Avenge me. Well, that avenging needs to be met. So, God hears that. We don't, but he does. So here, he had to come and now shed his own blood. So what does this do? You see, God has his law. He can't take the law back. The law is the law, and someone had to meet that law. Well, no, none of us could. You can try as hard as you can to follow the Ten Commandments. I'm going tell you right now, you're going to fail. The Ten Commandments tells us we're failures. But Jesus says, "I'm not a failure. I'll fulfill it." And here's what he did. So when he, the lamb, the lamb of God, got up on the cross and shed his blood, he said, "I want you to put my blood on the post of your door of your heart and on the lentil of your heart. and I'm going to pass over you when it comes to judgment for sin. That's what the lamb of God is. We have the blood of the lamb over us. Now, how does this work? Let's let's look at this. remember uh Rahab and um the walls of Jericho coming down. Remember what the spies told her to do? Put a scarlet red thread out your window. And see when the Israelites, the priest, and they sh they blew the trumpet and they shouted and the walls came tumbling down. The only wall that did not come tumbling down was Rahab. And she had her whole father's household in there with her. They survived and they were able to come out cuz there's a spirit of destruction that went against the walls of Jericho and those walls had to fall. But because that destroying spirit had to go hit all the walls, the destroying spirit knows that if it sees the blood, it sees the red, it has to pass over. It's required by God because that's how the rule is set up. The rule is set up that if I deserve death against me because maybe I killed somebody and that death is supposed to come against me because it's a curse. It comes back at you. A lot of people don't understand the curses. But when that curse comes back at you, if you have the blood of Jesus over your heart, it has to pass over you because that is what the new covenant, the new contract is all about. So when we partake of holy communion and we take that bread and we re we do this in remembrance of what Jesus did on the cross. We're remembering him on the cross. We're seeing him on the cross. We're remembering everything he went to. That tells us he's going to pass over us. That's what holy communion is about. That's what the lamb of God is. This is what he had to do first. And this is a good thing because I'm going to tell you right now, there's so many curses that are coming against us. We are living in a land of sin. We are vexed by what's going on out here. But all those consequences have to pass over us because we have the blood of the lamb on us. Oh, this is awesome. Hebrews 10:12-17. But this man, after he offered one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down on the right hand of God, from henceforth, expecting till his enemies be made his foottool. For by one offering he hath perfected forever them that are sanctified, or to made made holy, made holy. We are made holy because of his one sacrifice. Continuing on in verse 15, whereof the Holy Ghost also is a witness to us. For after that he had said before, this is the covenant contract that I will make with them after those days, sayeth the Lord. I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them, and their sins or offense, and iniquities or illegality will I remember no more. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. He is the lamb of God and he passes over us and he doesn't remember our sins and illegalities anymore. We are legal. You see the blood of the lamb had to fulfill the law. So it had to go on the post had to go on the lentil of that gateway so that when the destruction was coming, woo, that destruction stopped and says there's blood here. I can't go that way. I have to pass over. Meaning, you cannot be destroyed. The gates of hell shall not prevail against the church. You are the church. By the way, your body is the temple of God. So now when you take holy communion, your heart's post has the blood on the left and the right and on the lentil and nothing can come against you. Nothing can break through. It has to pass over because these are God's destructions. God is the He's the spirit of the Lord is the Lord that comes in. The spirit that comes in to destroy. He's gonna destroy. He goes after, but you have protection against that because he says, "I give you my son and I give his blood to redeem you, to pardon you, to free you. You are covered with that blood and you do not have any more destruction against you." What is destruction? What is destroying? Cancer kills. Sickness kills. financial issues kill. But God says, "I will pass over you because behold the lamb of God. Jesus our redeemer came and he shed his blood for us, for you and me. He is the lamb of God. He fulfilled the law. He gave us a way out. He pardoned us. He redeemed us. Does this mean I go on continuing to sin? I do my best to stop. But I'm in the flesh. But here's the thing that I can take from this. When I know that the destroyer can't mess with me, that means I can't die from that. I love it when Paul says, "Oh, death or death were interesting." Which he's quoting the Old Testament. And I don't remember who he's quoting, but you can go look that up. When he says that, that's the most powerful thing because now we come to the realization as a believer in Christ, this stuff can't get me. Remember, what's on the earth is a shadow of what's in heaven. So when Jesus says, "I give you the keys to the kingdom of heaven. Whatever you bind on earth is bound in heaven. Whatever you loose on earth is loose in heaven." The two work together. And in the heaven, the blood of the redeemer of the lamb of God is already on the mercy seat. And that blood is over you, causing the destroyer to pass over you. You no longer have to deal with the corrupt. In fact, you can wake up every morning. His mercies are new every morning. And you can stand there and says, you know what? I'm going to have a great day. And I'm going to have this great day because the Lord has provided it. He's already blessed today. I'm on his side and he's got his covering protecting me. So, whoever's talking behind your back about you or who's ever trying to bring you down or who's ever trying to attack you mentally, physically, whatever the situation may be, guess what? You get to look up and say, "Behold the lamb of God. Jesus is my Lord and Savior. Jesus is the son of God. Jesus's blood is on the doorpost and the lentil of me. So I am inside the house because I'm a temple of God. I'm on the inside of the house and the doors are covered with the blood of Jesus and no destroyer. Nothing can get me. Nothing can touch me. I hope you get this. And if things happen, they're happening now for a reason. Meaning God is up to something with you. He's talking to you. He's trying to get your attention. And whatever the situation may be that you're dealing with, the first thing always, always, always the first thing, humble yourself before the Lord. Go before him and say, "I'm sorry. I messed up." You see, once you do that, that's where that destroyer has to back off. the attack has to back up. You know what? I had CO I had CO uh at Christmas time at the end of that year. And I remember I put up a Christmas tree and I the Lord clearly told me not to do it and I did it anyways. And uh I I was sick as a dog. I mean I was I was sick and those three days I and I was praying and humbling. Okay, let me just simply say I was praying and I couldn't really cry too hard because I couldn't breathe. That was my issue. I couldn't breathe. I don't know. I I I'm just like, Lord, you know, I I'm having to trust in you on this. I need you, but if you're going to take me, don't let me suffer. Just take me and send me home. And there I am repenting, humbling myself because that's what we're supposed to do. That's what the scriptures tells. I want you to come back. He says, "Come back. come back. So 3 days in and I remember I don't remember was that evening or the next morning but I think it was that evening I all of a sudden I was like breathing fine and it was almost like instantaneous and it was even weirder because it felt like in my lungs like I couldn't um get to because I was shallow breathing those three days. I couldn't breathe any it was like a there was a a barrier there. I couldn't get past this barrier. But three days, all of a sudden, I can get past this barrier. And then, of course, you have to retrain your lungs to get back to breathing. So, I was having to breathe deep, was taking that inhaler, try to get the medicine down into the bottom of my lungs, but I was it it it almost cleared up instantly. I was like, "Wow, thank you, Lord." And my life has changed drastically since then. You know, I am definitely being obedient to the word of God. And I was like, "Okay, Lord, you want me to be this way? I want to be this way too. He wants to bless me. I want his blessings. You see, I know that he is my creator. I know that he has made a way for me to come out of the consequences because I'm going to tell you right now, we were born and conceived in sin. So, I know that Jesus took care of that and it was a free gift. So now I get to come before him and humble myself before him and say thank you. And that's what I do. He's my redeemer. He's the lamb of God first. Now he's coming back as king. And boy, do I look forward to that day. I don't look forward to what's going to happen in between. But the end result is that God has a plan. And that end plan is drastic. So eventually all of us are going to end up on the other side. So the question is where do you want to end up on the other side? You want to end up in the presence of God in heaven or do you want to end up in hell? Do you want to blame all this on him and just you know it's his fault. That's between you and God. You have the right to do that if you want. You're angry with him. You hate him or whatever. You go talk to him. He wants to hear from you. But have an open mind when you find out the truth and you realize the truth and that he is your lord over your heart and so that your gate, your body is covered by the blood of Jesus. Make sure you take your holy communion too. Amen. Let's close in a word of prayer. Father God, we thank you for your word and we bless your word. Thank you. Your word will not return void. You are holy. You are the son of God. You're king of kings. You are lord of lords. And you have fulfilled your duty. Your father asked you to do. And it is such a simple matter. Your will is for us to believe. All we need to do is believe. And I believe. I believe that you are the son of God. I believe that you are my redeemer. and I believe that you're going to raise me from the dead when my turn comes. I believe in you and I look forward to meeting you face to face. In the name of Jesus, we pray. Amen. Amen. God bless you. I will see you in the next message. Bye-bye. Home Previous Next
