THEREFORE FORGIVE THEM NOT The objective of this teaching is to reveal the prophetic relevance of Isaiah 2:9, showing that God draws a line of division between those who walk in the light of Christ and those who choose deception, pride, and evil. It emphasizes the urgent call for believers to walk as children of light, resist cultural and spiritual deception, and understand why God declares “forgive them not” to those who deliberately bow to falsehood and reject His truth in these end times. THEREFORE FORGIVE THEM NOT Minister Lisa Kane September 18, 2025 Objective: The objective of this teaching is to reveal the prophetic relevance of Isaiah 2:9, showing that God draws a line of division between those who walk in the light of Christ and those who choose deception, pride, and evil. It emphasizes the urgent call for believers to walk as children of light, resist cultural and spiritual deception, and understand why God declares “forgive them not” to those who deliberately bow to falsehood and reject His truth in these end times. Synopsis: In Therefore Forgive Them Not, Minister Lisa Kane explores the sobering message of Isaiah 2 and its direct application to today’s spiritual and cultural climate. Isaiah describes a world where people bow to idols, false ideologies, and pride, abandoning the truth of God. This mirrors our modern society where deception, pride, and the celebration of evil prevail. The message warns that those who choose darkness over light align themselves with destruction, echoing Paul’s admonition to “walk as children of light” (Ephesians 5:8) and Jesus’ warning against deception in the last days (Matthew 24:4). Through Scripture, Lisa shows that God’s command to “forgive them not” is not about personal bitterness but about divine judgment on those who willfully reject Him. This lesson urges believers to discern the times, avoid the snares of cultural falsehoods, and remain steadfast in Christ. Ultimately, it challenges Christians to live faithfully in the light of Jesus so that when the Day of the Lord arrives, they are found walking in truth and not among those marked for wrath. Inspired Teaching - Written and/or Transcribed from Video Above: Opening scripture: Isaiah 2:9 KJV 9 And the mean man boweth down, and the great man humbleth himself: therefore forgive them not. There is a clear line of division that exists in the world today. There are those on the left, who are simply mean. They celebrate death. They believe there ways are the best. I even heard one say that the world is better off because this person is dead. Ugh. Then there are those on the right who serve the Lord. Isaiah chapter 2 discusses this in division in chapter and even tells us when the time comes for us to ‘forgive them not’. Let’s start in verse 5. This is where Isaiah identifies who the mean people are. Isaiah 2:5 KJV 5 O house of Jacob, come ye, and let us walk in the light of the Lord. God starts off by calling Jacob to walk in the light of the Lord. This is important because this is what will keep us from the evils of our day just like it would keep Jacob from the evils of his day. First, to not be mean, we need to walk in the light. Who is the light? Jesus. We must walk in the ways of Jesus. Paul reiterates this in Ephesians. Ephesians 5:6-8 KJV 6 Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience. 7 Be not ye therefore partakers with them. 8 For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light: Paul clearly tells us that by not walking in the light, we could be deceived, and that is very dangerous to today’s spiritual climate. Jesus has warned us to not be deceived, and He expressly states that in End Time Prophecy. Matthew 24:4 KJV 4 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. Paul emphasizes it more in Galatians 6: Galatians 6:7 KJV 7 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. Let’s see what Isaiah identified as the things that deceived Jacob. Isaiah 2:6-8 KJV 6 Therefore thou hast forsaken thy people the house of Jacob, because they be replenished from the east, and are soothsayers like the Philistines, and they please themselves in the children of strangers. 7 Their land also is full of silver and gold, neither is there any end of their treasures; their land is also full of horses, neither is there any end of their chariots: 8 Their land also is full of idols; they worship the work of their own hands, that which their own fingers have made: Jacob followed after other cultures false ideologies and religions. They worshipped the created, and not the creation. It was an attraction to them because they saw how rich these cultures were. Well guess what, that’s what people are doing in today’s world. In today’s culture climate, people are caught up in wokeism, keeping the earth green, believing in aliens, and basically following after other cultures but not walking in the light, the Word of God – Jesus, Himself. There are the Abrahamic blessings and curses over Israel. So many people reject Israel by choosing Palestine. There are many people choosing to celebrate the dark, evil things in the world and not selecting to walk in the light. This is a blatant choice these people have made. As you can see, Isaiah 2 is for us today to see and be aware of this line of division. Let’s continue in Isaiah 2. Isaiah 2:9-12 KJV 9 And the mean man boweth down, and the great man humbleth himself: therefore forgive them not. 10 Enter into the rock, and hide thee in the dust, for fear of the Lord, and for the glory of his majesty. 11 The lofty looks of man shall be humbled, and the haughtiness of men shall be bowed down, and the Lord alone shall be exalted in that day. 12 For the day of the Lord of hosts shall be upon every one that is proud and lofty, and upon every one that is lifted up; and he shall be brought low: Well, look at that. In context, Isaiah 2 is talking about an event before the Day of the Lord. This puts Isaiah 2 in today’s timeline of end time events / prophecy. And by the way, we know that the Day of the Lord hasn’t happened yet. Remember, this is what the Day of the Lord is in Revelation 6. Revelation 6:15-17 KJV 15 And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains; 16 And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb: 17 For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand? Now, let’s go back to our opening scripture. Isaiah 2:9 KJV 9 And the mean man boweth down, and the great man humbleth himself: therefore forgive them not. It amazes me that God is telling us not to forgive the mean man who boweth down to the ideas of the world. Let me describe this in more detail for you. In essence, when the Bible says you’ve bowed down to something, you have made that your priority. You will follow it to the ends of the world if need be because that is what is important to you. For example, if you choose to be mean, like celebrating the death of anyone, then you’ve put yourself as the most important person and that your ideas, beliefs are the most important and everyone should follow that. You are full of pride. Reality check, no. You are not God, and you cannot believe that there is any justification to death. You have chosen to walk in darkness on purpose. You made the decision that your ways are the best and everyone should follow you; and that the world proves you right; hence why you celebrate death or choose to be mean over choosing good. You are blatantly making the decision for evil than good. Proverbs 16:18 KJV 18 Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall. You are putting evil, your pride ahead of good and because you’ve done that, God says through Isaiah, ‘forgive them not’. This is why you end up as one of those rejecting God during the seven year time period of God’s wrath. Isaiah 2:9 is revelation to me because I’ve been forgiving people left and right now for a few years knowing that forgiveness will end when the Day of the Lord arrives…but the Day of the Lord hasn’t arrived yet. Note, we can see this clear line of division. There are those celebrating death and choosing evil, and questioning whether prayer works. Don’t fall for this deception. Choose to walk in the light so that you are not counted as one who chooses evil. Let’s remember what Paul said in Romans 9: Romans 9:21-22 KJV 21 Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to make one vessel unto honour, and another unto dishonour? 22 What if God, willing to shew his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much longsuffering the vessels of wrath fitted to destruction: We see this line because God made some vessels for honor, and some for dishonor. Choose the light and choose to walk in the ways of Jesus. By taking that leap of faith, you won’t be deceived. Previous Next Home

THERE IS ONLY ONE GOD AND YOU WILL KNOW The objective of this message is to affirm and teach the biblical truth that there is only one true God, revealed as Creator, Redeemer, and King. The message seeks to help believers recognize false idols, false teachers, and deceptive ideologies by grounding themselves in Scripture. It emphasizes the importance of knowing God personally through His Word, so that believers are not deceived but remain steadfast in faith, transformed in heart and mind, and ready to witness His power and truth revealed in all generations. THERE IS ONLY ONE GOD AND YOU WILL KNOW Minister Lisa Kane September 4, 2024 Objective: The objective of this message is to affirm and teach the biblical truth that there is only one true God, revealed as Creator, Redeemer, and King. The message seeks to help believers recognize false idols, false teachers, and deceptive ideologies by grounding themselves in Scripture. It emphasizes the importance of knowing God personally through His Word, so that believers are not deceived but remain steadfast in faith, transformed in heart and mind, and ready to witness His power and truth revealed in all generations. Synopsis: In “There is Only One God and You Will Know”, Lisa Kane teaches from Isaiah 44 and supporting scriptures to highlight God’s declaration of His uniqueness and supremacy. Through a personal dream of idols collapsing, Lisa illustrates how false gods—whether physical idols or modern ideologies—are powerless and destined to fall. She stresses that transformation begins when we truly know who God is, as all Scripture is designed to reveal Him and confirm His sovereignty. The message warns against false prophets and counterfeit teachings, reminding believers to test everything against the Bible. By understanding God’s Word, Christians can discern truth from deception and avoid the traps of modern false ideologies. Lisa points to prophecies in Isaiah, Ezekiel, Jeremiah, and Revelation, showing how God continually declares that all people will ultimately know He is Lord. She also connects these prophecies to Christ as Redeemer and King, explaining how Jesus fulfills God’s promise to save, deliver, and reveal Himself to all flesh. Throughout, the teaching emphasizes the believer’s responsibility to study Scripture, walk in faith, and guard against deception. Lisa concludes with a call to transformation, urging believers to confess Christ, grow in relationship with Him, and stand firmly on the truth that there is only one God. The message closes in prayer, thanking God for His Word, His protection from false teaching, and His revelation of Himself as the only true and living God. Inspired Teaching - Written and/or Transcribed from Video Above: Hello and welcome to the House of Faith Ministries. I'm Lisa Kaine and I'm recording this on Wednesday, September 4th, 2024. Welcome. Let's open up in a word of prayer. Father God, we thank you for your word and we bless your word. We pray that your word does not return void. We also pray and ask that you prepare the listeners to hear your word and move me aside so that your holy spirit speaks directly to their spirit and not through Lisa, not of Lisa, but through your holy spirit. Let your voice be heard and thank you Lord for you are amazing, glorious, faithful, true and honorable. You are worthy, just full of loving kindness, mercy and grace. Thank you in the name of Jesus we pray. Amen. Amen. Amen. So this message is called There is only one God and you will know. So let's go to our opening scripture here in Isaiah 44:6. Thus sayeth the Lord, the King of Israel and his Redeemer, the Lord of hosts. I am the first and I am the last and beside me there is no God. Hallelujah. Now let me remind you of how I teach. What you're seeing is the scripture in King James version. So the bolded words are the words in scripture and then anything followed in parentheses that isn't in parenthesis in the scripture and I will note that if it is but there are additional words that those words could mean. So kind of giving you a broader perspective of the scripture so you get an indepth look at it. So now let me share a dream that I had that we're going to be discussing and dealing with here in um Isaiah as we look at false idols. So years ago I had this dream where I there was a like a a wall uh out in the wilderness in the desert and they were all different idols and they were like stacked next to each other and they were huge. They they were big and I'm on a bus. We're some distance away and we're driving. I'm a passenger in the bus. And as I'm looking back, I see one of these idols fall and it completely collapses and this sound starts coming toward us as we're running uh driving away in the bus and the um the ground shook. The the the rocks went everywhere of this idol. It it fell. It collapsed. And it collapsed hard cuz it was huge. It was so big. It was a It was an idol that was so big that it fell. And I'm telling the driver, you need to hurry up. So, we crossed this bridge. And of course, I wake up at that point. So, this dream is very interesting because it was a line of a wall of idols and one of them fell. Now I in my life and I am a walking testimony. I have overcome a lot of things in my life and what I teach now and what I pray and what I teach on prayer how to pray walking in Christ forgiveness and mercy. Most likely that dream impacted my life or it was showing me where I was going to end up going because I let go of some sort of false idol and I don't know what it was. All I know is that you can see it. It had face, had eyes, um mouth, nose, you know, it it was a like a visible thing. But the thing is is it was solid uh made out of the face of the the cliff and it was um you know, it was worthless. It was dead. There's no life in it, but it fell. And I was like, "All right, thank you, Lord." So, I share this because I want you to understand we're going to be talking about a a transformation that takes place in your life because once you know God, your life changes. And so, the purpose of this teaching is that in all scripture, and I mean all scripture, God makes a point that everything he does is to reveal himself to you and that you will know that he is God. And here's the thing is we need to know who is our God so that we're not deceived. I saw a video the other couple couple of different videos of people claiming to be Christ and it's getting a little more popular and um I one lady in particular she was saying you know if Christ was here he would say that abortion is okay and that you can be comforted and loved by him and she's talking as if she is Christ and she is uh impersonating Christ and that is false that is a deception because we know that Jesus is about life, not death. Abortion is about death. So, see, if you know who your God is, you know who your scripture is, you will see the false teaching and the the false ideology in there. Okay? So, I want you to see that. What we're going to do is we're going to get into Isaiah 44 here. So, I want you to go to Isaiah 44. We're going to start in verses four and five. And they shall spring up or sprout as among the grass as willows by the water courses. One shall say, "I am the Lord's," and another shall call himself by the name of Jacob, and another shall shall subscribe or write with his hand into unto the Lord and surname himself by the name of Israel. This is the he's identifying a future of false prophets through different methods. So, one is going to say, "I'm Christ himself." Another one's going to say, "Oh, well, I'm of the nationality of the Jews, and so I'm I'm the Messiah." One's going to say, "Hey, listen. I'm writing you this letter, and it's from God." And these are the things we have to be aware of. So, first, we have to know who God is. Who is our God? And the Bible tells us who he is, which means you need to be reading your Bible. There are people who don't want to read the Bible, but yet they want to know. Got to read the Bible. Well, it's not my cup of tea and I'm not a big reader. That's on you and you will be held accountable for those excuses. So, you have to get some self-control and sit down and say, "Okay, Lord, I don't really want to read this, but I'm going to read it anyways because I got to know." You see, once you do that, you move into his presence. So second, if we see anyone say or write anything that claims to be from God, we need to look and see if it's in the Bible. How are you going to know if it's in the Bible if you're not reading it? You see, you have to understand. So when somebody's prophesying something specific like such and such person will be president. I can tell you right now that's not in scripture because nowhere in the Bible does it prophesy other than like Cyrus back in his day. They prophesied Isaiah wrote about him two to 400 years earlier saying that he will be king. This is his name and that you're going to read the scripture to him. That was prophecy. That was a very specific prophecy. But I've not seen any prophecy come in and say, "Well, Trump will be president or Camala will be president." There's no scripture on that. And I've read the Bible through a handful of times. So, you're going to have to realize that. Now also if they're saying something it sounds really good, you have to look and see if it's in the Bible in context. What does the context around that scripture they're quoting or the the idea that they're quoting behind that? Important that you understand that because you're going to see that you need to know and recognize the false teachings and the ideology here. Okay, let's continue on. We're going to go to Isaiah uh verses uh it's we're still in chapter 44:es 6-8. Thus sayith the Lord King of Israel and his redeemer, the Lord of hosts. I love this. This is our opening scripture and notice what it says about redeemer to be the next of kin. You see Jesus was the word and the word became flesh. So he was already in spirit with God. He had to become the flesh to be the redeemer and he became the next of kin. That's very important because when we recognize who our Messiah is and when he says to Mary Magdalene on his way up to heaven with a whole bunch of souls and he says, "I'm going to my God, your God, my father, your father." He's saying to you, "You are the next of kin. You are a joint heir." This is mindblowing and it should just stop you in your tracks. I mean, the fact that he was he rose from the grave, he's on his way to his father. He tells Mary, "Don't touch me. I haven't ascended yet." He's got all these souls behind him. And he stops for us. You have to grasp the concept of who our redeemer is. See, once we know him and he it makes us salivate, thirst, hunger for him, makes us drive after him. Once we know him, it's so amazing that we can see what's going on and be aware. So, and his redeemer, the Lord of hosts, I am the first and I am the last, and beside me there is no God. And who is I shall call and shall declare it and set it in order for me since I appointed the ancient people. and the things are coming and shall come. Let them show unto them. Let's go to verse eight. Fear ye not. Fear ye not. Neither be afraid. Have not I told thee from that time and had declared it. Ye are even my witnesses. Is there a God beside me? Yeah, there is no God. I know not any. Look, he knows by observation and recognition because that's what that word means. Oh, this is so very very important. I want you to catch this. So, notice the distinction of what Isaiah said when he mentioned in verse six between the king of Israel and his redeemer. So, at the time Isaiah wrote this, Jesus had not been born yet. The role of Jesus was to be king and redeemer. We know in hindsight that Jesus came first as the redeemer and we know he's going to return second as king as you see in Revelation 191 11-21. Very important because see the Pharisees kept asking are you the king and and asking if he you know was the son of God and they had no faith. You see, God kept that hidden from them. One, to accomplish his goal, and two, so that they can walk in faith and become a believer. So, if Jesus straight out told you, I am the son of God, which by the way, he ended up doing, and he did it several times, they still didn't believe. They weren't going to believe. And Jesus knew this. Now, notice he's also calling himself as the first and the last, the beginning and the end, the alpha and omega. Where have we heard that? That's in Revelation 22:13. So Isaiah is talking about Jesus, the Messiah, the redeemer, who is coming. And he's saying there's no other God beside him. He said, "I've looked. I've observed. There's no one else. It's just me. I'm God." And he's not only declaring that he's the only God and that he's going to have a redeemer. He is prophesying it in Isaiah's time in the past so that those of us today can see and recognize who God is by declaring us witnesses today with the ancient people back then. Both generations are witnesses to it. And notice his observation as I've already stated, he doesn't know that there's any other God. I trust my God. There is no other God. Now we're going to go to Isaiah 49. Let's look at Isaiah 49. We're going to read verses 9- 11. They that make a graven image are all of them vanity, and their delectable things shall not profit, and they are their own witnesses. They see not, nor know that they may be ashamed. Who hath formed a god or moltant, a graven image that is profitable for nothing or failure of? Verse 11. Behold, all his fellows shall be ashamed, and the workmen they are of men. Let them all be gathered together. Let them stand up, yet they shall fear, and they shall be ashamed together. This is very important. As I mentioned in my dream, I saw these idols budded up against one another. Obviously, they were car carved out of the side of a cliff kind of like Mount Rushmore, but the difference is they were all next to each other. They all different faces, but this one particular one just dropped. It fell and it collapsed. And that is what's going to happen. Now, false idols is something um that we create in our minds or is even physical. We make a graven image out of it. Um, there was a point where the kings were drinking. Uh, I forget. I think it was Nebuchadnezzar. Anyways, I I'm going off the top of my head on this part. I wasn't planning on putting this in here, but he was drinking out of the the cups, the um the golden cups, and he was just so well pleased with him. And then the finger of God writes on the wall because he's bringing it down. And God says, you know, this is it. You're done for tonight. And he was killed that night. I don't think it was Nebuchadnezzar. Might have been his son. But anyways, whoever that was, it's there. You can go read it in um in the Bible. I don't think it's in Daniel. But anyways, you can find it. Just search uh for um gold cup, something like that, and you will find it. But this is what I'm talking about. See, when you know the scriptures, you know that persona. They're well pleased. They're drinking out of the cups from the temple. God's cup. These are things that were set aside for God by Israel. Israel made these and they're thinking they're so proud of themselves because they were overcomers, but the only reason God allowed them to overcome is because his people were sinning. So, in our minds, we create these images. Then, we also create them physically. Back in the day especially, you had these little idols that you would put in your home. Little goddess of Diana or any of those type of things. These are the things you took a look at the Paris Olympics here that we just recently experienced. They had a bowl in there, a golden calf. These are things that they brought up from the past. These are things that they should know better because they should know the scripture, but they don't know the scripture and they don't know God. So, Here's the thing is we expect these c certain images of what we think are good things. You know, I I remember a co-orker of mine would put a penny in the corner of her desk next to a frog or something something like that and she'd say, "Oh, this is for good luck. Think of a rabbit's foot. Somebody carrying a rabbit's foot." We expect these certain images of good things to bring us good things or good luck. No. Even the cross, if you you've got Jesus on the cross and you you're hanging him around your your neck, he's already risen. You should have a cross is empty because now you're declaring he's alive and he is off the cross. It is great to remember what he did on the cross because that's how we do holy communion. This we do in remembrance. See, if you know the scriptures, you will recognize who God is and how to deal with uh false teachings and the the things that are going on around the world. Now, I want to show you in scripture how much God says this throughout scripture is fascinating. When I did a word search on this um and the way the word search does it, it it groups these words together. So in other words, these are scriptures that compile with these words in it and it has usually the the the concept of what it's saying. So I am Lord or there is no other god. This kind of thing. It that phrase was 422 times and then I refined the phrase more and got down to 322 times in the Bible. So this phrase exist uh this this concept of there's no God, I'm God. And you will know that I'm God. That's the phrase, you will know that I'm God. That is in the Bible that many times. So, I want you to see this. We're going to go to Exodus 14:4. It's talking about Pharaoh. And I will harden Pharaoh's heart that he shall follow after them. And I will be honored upon and I will be honored upon Pharaoh up and upon all his host that the Egyptians may know that I am the Lord. And they did so. You see, the Egyptians followed so many gods. They had all these false gods. They had um frogs were their gods, flies, um snakes. They had all of these gods. And so all of those gods came back and were allowed to destroy Egypt by the Israelites coming out of the land of Egypt. And that was no small feat. I mean, we're talking this was a major thing, bringing out million plus people from Egypt into the wilderness. But God did it so that the Egyptians will know that he is Lord. That's incredible. You see, all those false gods they believed in were worthless. They were nothing. And they could not stop God. And they could not stand up against God. Oh, I hope you guys are seeing that there is a God. There is only one God. And we need to know who he is so that we can be prepared to not fall in the traps of deception that's coming our way that is already here. Let's read Isaiah 49:25 and 26. But thus sayith the Lord, even the captives and the mighty shall be taken away, and the prey of the terrible shall be delivered. For I will contend with him that contendeth with thee, and I will save thy children. And I will feed them that oppress thee with their own flesh, and they shall be drunken with their own blood, as with sweet wine, and all flesh shall know that I, the Lord, am thy savior and thy redeemer, the mighty one of Jacob. I hope you guys see this. You see, one of the things that Jesus did when he became redeemer is he set the captive free. Go to Daniel 9:24. It's like a list of all the things that Jesus did. And Jesus also read Isaiah in front of the Pharisees and the Sadducees saying this scripture is fulfilled today in your hearing. And it's about setting the captive free, the blind to see. So here, but I want you to also see what God did. He's saving his people because he sent his redeemer. That's Jesus. Now these people are drunken on their own blood. that is referring they're they're salivating. They are um they're so like I was mentioning that king drinking from the cup. They're so into their own selves and they're so satisfied. But that represents the blood of the lives that they killed for them to feel that way like I'm all powerful. They're drunken on that blood. Go to Revelation 17:6 in which the woman mystery Babylon is great drunk on the blood of the saints. So, and in Revelation and in this scripture here in Isaiah, everyone, all flesh will know that Jesus is the savior and the redeemer. Now, notice Jesus states this because he does what his father asks him. And if we know Jesus, we know the father. This is why he was telling the Pharisees, the Pharisees says, "What authority do you have to do this? Who is your father?" He says, "Well, if you knew me, you know my father." That's in John 8:19. That's just one of the scriptures. There's many more on that. Let's go to Ezekiel 39:28. And they, let's see. Then they shall know that I am the Lord their God, which caused them to be led into captivity among the heathen, but I have gathered them unto their own land, and have left none of them anymore there. Now, if you read Ezekiel 38 and39, you will find that uh this is prophecy has not happened yet. It's about the battle of Gog and Magog for the end times. This is going to trigger the day of the Lord. And again, here's God saying they will know he is Lord. Who are they? All flesh. So, he's been saying this throughout history. And then he's prophesying because it's going to be coming because this generation doesn't know who their God is. Remember, if you go back to Abraham and you look at Abraham's journey and you look at it through the book of Jasher, now the book of Jasher mimics the first several books of the Bible mostly, but it gives you a lot more insight as to what's going on. Yes, it's not in part of the cannon of the Bible, but it does add a little bit more. So, it's not for spiritual growth, but it is very interesting and there is some historical references in there. And the Bible does reference the book of Joshua. Well, one of the things it says about Abraham is that he went looking to find out who God is. He looked, he thought it was in the sun. Then the sun went down and he's like, "Well, no, I guess it can't be God. The moon." Same thing. And so then he heard the voice of God. Cuz see, he went to his father's house, tore down all those false idols. All of them. He He tore them down. His father was livid with him. Why'd you do that? All Abraham said, they couldn't defend themselves. They're not God. So Abraham got to hear the voice of God. And here we are joint hes with the promises given to Abraham. This is why we have to hear and know who our Lord is. Because all flesh will know. Every knee will bow. Every tongue confess that Jesus is Lord. It's going to happen. It's been prophesied. Jeremiah 24:7. And I will give them a heart to know which is ascertained by seeing me that I am the Lord, and they shall be my people, and I will be their God, for they shall return unto me with their whole heart. He's talking about the restoration of Israel. But at the same time, that's applying to us. This is incredible. You see, when we become a believer, our heart is transformed into a heart of intellect provided by God himself. Things change. This allows us to discern the things that are going on. We get to see the things that God wants us to see because he is our Lord and we are his people. We are having a relationship with him. Every time you open the Bible and you read it, you understand it. That's why there's no excuse. If you're making an excuse like, I just can't understand it. There are so many translations that exist that you can read the New International Version. It's not one I prefer and I don't use it. I use the King James version, but it will get you started in understanding it. When you finally want to delve into a deeper part of the scripture, then you can move on to learning Hebrew or Greek or going into the King James and doing literal word translations, which is what I do here in my teachings. This is allowing God to work in us because we're getting to know him in the relationship that we have with him because we are his people. Remember, we're joint hes. The moment that you confess as Romans 10:9 says, "Confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved." That mind changes immediately at that point. Now I want you to see something here's interesting. This is Isaiah 43 and5. This is talking about John the Baptist. The voice of him that crith in the wilderness. Prepare ye the way of the Lord. Make straight in the desert a highway for our God. Every valley shall be exalted and every mountain and hill shall be made low. And the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough places plain, and the glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh, there it is, shall see it together. For the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it. This was prophesied in Luke 3:4 and 4-6. Let's read that. As it is written in the book of the words of Isaiah, Isaias, the prophet, saying, the voice of one crying in the wilderness, prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his path straight. Every valley shall be filled. Every mountain shall and hill shall be brought low. And the crooked shall be made straight. And the rough ways shall be made smooth. And all flesh s shall see the salvation of God. I love that word salvation there means defender. And see is gaze. We can see and gaze on the defense that we have from our Christ. All flesh shall see the salvation of the Lord. And that's you and me. That includes you and me. So, have you confessed Jesus as your Lord and Savior? As Romans 10:9 says, says when we confess him, we become a believer and our heart changes. We begin to acknowledge that Jesus Christ is the son of God. And you see, that's how you test the spirit. That's how you know if someone's teaching from the word of God. I speak truth. I speak scripture. I'm not doing it out of context because Jesus is the son of God. He comes first. I'm not doing this for personal gain. I do this because I love you guys and I want you to understand what's going on. A lot of people ask, why does God do the things that he does? Part of it is so that you will know that he is God. He created all of this and decided to let it continue on. Remember, he did the flood. He brought in the flood, but he allowed eight people to survive, four couples, and three of them were able to repopulate the earth from the one couple. So, he allowed it. He decided, I'm going to let it go, and I'm going to send my son to die and redeem everyone. And so, his son now has a body. He is Jesus, the Messiah. The word became flesh. John 1:1. This is now who we serve, who we believe. And when you have your eyes on the word of God, you put the excuses aside and you say, "Okay, Lord, I'm going to get in your word. I'm going to study your word. I'm going to find out more about you." What's happening is you are avoiding uh you are protecting yourself from the deception of the world. So when there's a preacher that comes up behind the pulpit and says something to the effect like, "Well, Jesus would say this, is it in the Bible?" And if you find that that phrase is not in the Bible, that's a false teacher. That's a false teacher. You have to be able to designate what and who that person is. And then you can walk away. You can pray for them, forgive them, and ask the Holy Spirit to move in them because you never know. Maybe that's what it is. Is the Holy Spirit just needs to move in their life since they're wanting to be a teacher of the word of God. Maybe they'll be in there and they'll finally read it and know. And maybe they'll put their agenda aside because they obviously support abortion and they're trying to justify it through whatever scripture they can find by simply using the name of Jesus. He would say this. That's a false teaching, false ideology. And it is time that we pray for them. We forgive them and we give them to the Lord and ask the Lord to deal with them. And hopefully something clicks in their mind. Maybe the the delusion that they're under which is sent by God as Paul prophesied. If they're under that strong delusion, maybe he will reveal that off their eyes just so they can see a little bit and hopefully make the right choice. Now, I know how hard it is. You know, I I stand on the word of God. And when I hear somebody come in and teach a different way than what I'm used to, I criticize it big time. And sometimes I have to admit that was ingenious how you read that scripture, how you interpreted it, how it stood with you. That's how it works. But that's having that relationship with God is going to help me stand strong on his firm name, the foundation, the rock that I run to. He's my righteous tower. I run to him. And in that tower, in his word, I have a hedge of protection around me and my mind keeping me from the false ideologies, the false idols out there, helping me uh have the renewing and the transformation of my mind daily. That's where we need to be with Christ. Amen. Let's uh I want to close in a word of prayer. Let's close. Lord, Lord Jesus, we lift this word up to you. And I pray that we don't forget your word, that we apply your word, that we get into your word and put the excuses aside, that we get to know your word, so we can know who you are and recognize when there are false teachers and false um Christ out there, these antichrist, so that we can recognize what's going on and know where you're going and how your end is coming to be. Father God, you are mighty. You are amazing. You are God. You are the creator. And I thank you for revealing yourself to us. In the mighty name of Jesus, we pray. Amen. Amen. Amen. God bless you. And I will see you in the next message. Bye bye. Previous Next Home

COVERING OF THE BLOOD To reveal the divine power, purpose, and protection found in the sacrifice of Jesus’ blood, connecting the Old Testament Passover covering to the New Covenant finished work of Christ. This message equips believers to understand how the blood of Jesus shields them from the destroyer, empowers them to reject the voice of the thief, and positions them to walk in forgiveness, righteousness, and abundant life through faith in Christ. COVERING OF THE BLOOD Minister Lisa Kane December 4, 2025 Objective: To reveal the divine power, purpose, and protection found in the sacrifice of Jesus’ blood, connecting the Old Testament Passover covering to the New Covenant finished work of Christ. This message equips believers to understand how the blood of Jesus shields them from the destroyer, empowers them to reject the voice of the thief, and positions them to walk in forgiveness, righteousness, and abundant life through faith in Christ. Synopsis: In The Covering of the Blood, Minister Lisa walks us through God’s unchanging pattern of protection and redemption—from the lamb’s blood brushed on the doorposts in Exodus to the precious blood Jesus shed on the cross for every believer today. We begin with the first Passover, where God instructed Israel to cover their homes with the blood of an innocent lamb. That blood stopped the destroyer in his tracks. It was a visible, outward covering—declaring, “This house belongs to God.” John the beloved later reveals the deeper fulfillment: Jesus is the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world. His blood becomes our covering. His sacrifice—poured out outside the gate—mirrors the blood applied on the outside of Israel’s homes. The message is clear: the blood of Jesus covers, protects, sanctifies, and separates us from the reach of the destroyer. Scripture identifies this destroyer as the thief who comes to steal, kill, and destroy. His access into our lives often comes through agreement—when we repeat his lies with our words. But when we agree with God’s Word, we close the door to the enemy’s influence and step under divine protection. As Psalm 17 declares, the word of God keeps us from the path of the destroyer. Through Jesus’ sacrifice—His side pierced, His blood and water poured out—we are forgiven, covered, blessed, and made righteous. The believer who stands under the blood can boldly say, “Not today, Satan.” The destroyer cannot cross the boundary of the blood. This message concludes with an invitation to receive the covering of Jesus’ blood personally through prayer—opening the door to forgiveness, protection, and new life. And from that moment forward, the believer can confidently declare: “Jesus, today is Your day over my life. Keep me whole.” Inspired Teaching - Written and/or Transcribed from Video Above: Exodus 12:21-23 NKJV 21 Then Moses called for all the elders of Israel and said to them, “Pick out and take lambs for yourselves according to your families, and kill the Passover lamb. 22 And you shall take a bunch of hyssop, dip it in the blood that is in the basin, and strike the lintel and the two doorposts with the blood that is in the basin. And none of you shall go out of the door of his house until morning. 23 For the Lord will pass through to strike the Egyptians; and when He sees the blood on the [g]lintel and on the two doorposts, the Lord will pass over the door and not allow the destroyer to come into your houses to strike you. In the Old Testament, blood sacrifices were necessary because Jesus, the lamb of God had not been sacrificed yet. Notice what the blood does…it’s prevents the destroyer from entering. John 1:29 NKJV 29 The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him, and said, “Behold! The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world! Jesus represents the lamb of the Old Testament that used when Moses, following God’s leadership was leading the people out of Egypt. He died on the cross to cover us with His blood so that the destroyer will not destroy us. Hebrews 13:12-16 NKJV 12 Therefore Jesus also, that He might [c]sanctify the people with His own blood, suffered outside the gate. 13 Therefore let us go forth to Him, outside the camp, bearing His reproach. 14 For here we have no continuing city, but we seek the one to come. 15 Therefore by Him let us continually offer the sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of our lips, [d]giving thanks to His name. 16 But do not forget to do good and to share, for with such sacrifices God is well pleased. The author of Hebrews makes an interesting point here. He’s stating the sacrifice Jesus made was outside the gate. Remember, the blood that placed on the doorposts and lintels…the blood was sprinkled on the outside, not the inside. The blood becomes an outside covering over us keeping us from being destroyed. Exodus 12:23 NKJV 23 For the Lord will pass through to strike the Egyptians; and when He sees the blood on the [a]lintel and on the two doorposts, the Lord will pass over the door and not allow the destroyer to come into your houses to strike you. So, who is the destroyer? John 10:10 NKJV 10 The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly. The thief is. Psalm 50:16-23 NKJV 16 But to the wicked God says: “What right have you to declare My statutes, Or take My covenant in your mouth, 17 Seeing you hate instruction And cast My words behind you? 18 When you saw a thief, you consented[c] with him, And have been a partaker with adulterers. 19 You give your mouth to evil, And your tongue frames deceit. 20 You sit and speak against your brother; You slander your own mother’s son. 21 These things you have done, and I kept silent; You thought that I was altogether like you; But I will rebuke you, And set them in order before your eyes. 22 “Now consider this, you who forget God, Lest I tear you in pieces, And there be none to deliver: 23 Whoever offers praise glorifies Me; And to him who orders his conduct aright I will show the salvation of God.” The thief is sneaky and can sound like someone to listen to or be influenced by, but in order for him to succeed, we need to give him permission with our words. When you agree with his lies, you are against God. Psalm 17:4 NKJV 4 Concerning the works of men, By the word of Your lips, I have kept away from the paths of the destroyer. But when you agree with God, you are kept from the destroyer. This is what the sacrifice of blood did for you and me. John 19:34 NKJV 34 But one of the soldiers pierced His side with a spear, and immediately blood and water came out. Jesus poured out His blood and covered us. Psalm 32:1-2 NKJV Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, Whose sin is covered. 2 Blessed is the man to whom the Lord does not [b]impute iniquity, And in whose spirit there is no deceit. Romans 4:5-8 NKJV 5 But to him who does not work but believes on Him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is accounted for righteousness, 6 just as David also describes the blessedness of the man to whom God imputes righteousness apart from works: 7 “Blessed are those whose lawless deeds are forgiven, And whose sins are covered; 8 Blessed is the man to whom the Lord shall not impute sin.” Do you need the destroyer to stop interfering in your life? The time is now to ask Jesus to forgive you and to cover you with His blood. It’s easy. Say this prayer out loud: Dear Jesus, I’m sorry. I messed up and I ask You to forgive me of my sins and to cover me with Your blood. Keep the destroyer away from me. In Jesus’ Name Amen! Now, and from this day forward, you can say out loud – not today Satan, and he must flee! And after saying that, I would say too: Jesus, today is Your day over my life. Keep me whole.

LYDIA - WOMEN IN LEADERSHIP To examine the biblical account of Lydia as a model for women in leadership, demonstrating how God equips and uses women for ministry, business, and hospitality in the early church, and to explore the broader transformation of women’s roles in light of Christ’s redemption and New Testament teaching. LYDIA - WOMEN IN LEADERSHIP Minister Lisa Kane June 27, 2024 Objective: To examine the biblical account of Lydia as a model for women in leadership, demonstrating how God equips and uses women for ministry, business, and hospitality in the early church, and to explore the broader transformation of women’s roles in light of Christ’s redemption and New Testament teaching. Synopsis: In this teaching, Lisa Kane continues her series on Women in the Bible by focusing on Lydia, a successful businesswoman and devout worshiper of God introduced in Acts 16. The message begins with prayer, inviting God’s presence and guidance, then connects Lydia’s story with Jesus’ declaration in Luke 19:40 that even stones would cry out if His followers were silent—emphasizing that God uses whomever He wills, including women, to carry His word forward. The teaching outlines Lydia’s conversion under Paul’s ministry, her baptism with her household, and her role in hosting and supporting the apostles, providing a home large enough for gatherings that likely became the foundation of the church in Thyatira. Lisa highlights Lydia’s independence, her financial success in the trade of purple cloth, and her courage in housing Paul and Silas after their release from prison. The message then ties Lydia’s leadership to Revelation 2, where the church in Thyatira is addressed, underscoring both commendations for faith and love, and warnings against false teaching (symbolized by Jezebel). Lisa stresses the importance of discerning truth from false doctrine, walking in forgiveness, and relying on the power of the cross for healing and freedom from sickness. Finally, the teaching broadens the discussion to the transformation brought through Christ’s resurrection. By citing John 20 and Romans 8, Lisa emphasizes that believers—male and female—are no longer “lower than angels” but joint heirs with Christ, empowered to minister in His name. While affirming the biblical pattern of pastoral leadership through husbands and wives together, she reminds women not to discount themselves, since God uses anyone willing to serve Him. The message concludes with encouragement to hold fast to true doctrine, walk in forgiveness, and live in the authority of Christ’s redemption, bringing glory to God. Inspired Teaching - Written and/or Transcribed from Video Above: Hello and welcome to the House of Faith Ministries. I'm Lisa Kaine and I'm recording this on Thursday, June 27th, 20124. Welcome. Let us open up in a word of prayer. Father God, we thank you for your word. We thank you for the power and the authority of your name and your presence, Father God. And we thank you for making mighty men and women of God who have served you who has spoken your word and shared your word throughout all the generations and to the world. Thank you Lord. Thank you Lord. Prepare our hearts and minds as you work in us to do the same and to follow in the footsteps of your son Jesus. Thank you. and by the powerful mighty name of Jesus we pray. Amen. Amen. Amen. Welcome. I'm in uh a series called Women in the Bible. I've been doing this now for a handful of weeks. I will continue to do it. There are a lot of women in the Bible. Now, I'm not going in any particular order. No, I'm just letting the Holy Spirit direct me. And it was interesting the last I attend a Bible study on Tuesday nights and Wednesday nights. And uh both Bible studies were talking about the uh women's role in leadership in the church. And uh so here I've been in the women of the Bible series and for whatever reason I kept waking up and it was like the Lord kept telling me speak about Lydia, Lydia, Lydia. So I went and did some homework. And so we're going to be talking about women in the Bible and we're going to be talking focusing on Lydia, women in leadership. That's the title of this message. So let's go to this opening scripture. Luke 19:40. And he answered and said unto them, I tell you that if these should hold their peace or refuse to speak, the stones would immediately cry out, croak, scream, cry out. Now let me explain why I'm using this scripture for opening. I want the purpose of this particular teaching is to show you establish parameters in the past and the transformation of those parameters in the present time in scripture. So this is going to be really really neat. Now the reason I bring this scripture up and this scripture here talking about the stones would cry out. This is when this is Palm Sunday. Jesus is riding on a colt and they're laying down their clothes and palm frrons and all that and they are shouting praise to Jesus and the the Pharisees and the Sadducees are telling Jesus, "You need to tell these people to stop." And Jesus Jesus is the one who's talking. He's the one who says if they hold their peace and the stones would immediately cry out. In other words, God is going to use anyone and anything to speak to us. This is why he uses the stars to speak to us. See, he shows us in the different ways of how he can communicate with us. That is very important. And I want you to see that and I want you to understand that. So, we're going to be talking about Lydia and I'm going to be bringing you through a little bit of history through the word to show you how the transformation takes with what Jesus did through dying on the cross, rising from the grave, and redeeming us. Amen. So we're going to start here in Acts. Acts 16:14 and 15. And a certain woman named Lydia, seller of purple, a female traitor in purple cloth of the city Thotira, which worshiped, revered, adored God. And by the way, just to pause for a moment, when you see the scripture on the screen, and there's a bolded word with parentheses afterwards, the bolded word is the original text it was written in. The parentheses are other words that the author could have translated or the translators that uh translated the Bible into English and so forth, they could have used these other words to translate with. So, I'm just adding those extra words in because it gives us a bigger picture what we're looking at in scripture. So, anyways, uh which worship revered, adored God, heard us, whose heart, which is our thoughts or feelings, the Lord opened that she attended unto the things which were spoken of Paul. And when she was baptized or fully wet and her household, so her and her household were fully wet, she besought us, saying, "If ye have judged or distinguished, decide me to be faithful, trustworthy to the Lord, come into my house and abide, stay there." And she constrained or compelled us. So this is very interesting. So we have a woman of God. She became a believer. Uh she um heard the word taught to her by Paul. She's a successful businesswoman because she trades in purple cloth. Now, understand this. She's the one dying the cloth. She's got her team of workers. Purple cloth can only be afforded by the rich. So she had a very expensive commodity and was selling to the rich, meaning she was well off providing purple commodity or purple cloth and that expensive commodity. She knew how to run her business. She had been doing it fine and she was organized and successful. A successful businesswoman in the time of that Paul lived. Now I want you to see something here. When Paul brings other people up in the ministry that he's in and where he's at and what he's doing, he's always mentioning uh usually the male and sometimes the wife's name and only depends of how much of the role she's in. So like Priscilla and Aquilla, he worked with that couple. He mentioned both their names. So they were both heavily involved with Paul in the ministry. Well, here he mentions Lydia but no husband. I don't think she had a husband. And in fact, because she deals in purple cloth, she doesn't have a husband in another who had to take care of her in another job. So, she had to have a job in order to be successful. We don't know any other history about her. We just know that she is a successful businesswoman ministering or re um selling to the rich, which means she has money. She's she's got enough. So she has a large enough home where she can accommodate Paul and those with him. Now when you read the rest of that chapter in Acts, we're going to read the last verse here in just a moment. You will see that this is the time where Paul and Silas went to prison and they were worshiping the Lord and the prison cell shook. All the walls fell and the centurion thought he was they were all gone. He was going to kill himself. And Paul said, "Hey, no, no, no. We're right here. Don't don't do that." Well, the next day Paul and Silas were released. Then if we in fact let's go to verse 40 because I want you to see that um that when she they were released look who they went to says and they went out of the prison and entered into the house of Lydia and when they had seen the brethren they comforted her consolation exor prayed them and departed. So they went to Lydia's house. So, she has this successful business where she affords a big enough home to accommodate Paul and Silas and whomever else is there with him. Uh, and and let me point out another thing here. She wasn't afraid to have prisoners or ex-prisoners in her home. She had Paul and Silas in her home who just came out of being in jail. So here she's a very interesting woman, a very interesting businesswoman, one who has her heart on God. Now she lived in a city called Thotira. Don't know if I'm saying that right or not, but I'm going to run with it. And it's believed that she started the church of Thotira. So there is a letter written by Jesus in revelation that John wrote on behalf of Jesus to the le to the church of the doterans. So let's go look at that letter because now I want you to see something that's going to help us understand the role of a woman in the church. By the way, the role of the man in the church as well because you're going to see what Jesus is pointing out. This applies to everybody. Male, female, uh, Jew, Gentile, free, slave, black, white, Asian, Indian, doesn't matter. It applies to everybody. So, let's go to Revelation 2. We're going to be reading verses 18 through 29. And unto the angel or messenger of the church, by the way, a church is a calling out, a meeting, a congregation. So in other words, her home was big enough where people could come to it because that's how they established churches in those days. They were in people's homes. So she had a good amount of people showing up to church in her home in Thotir. So he's talking to the church of Thotir, right? These things sayeth the son of God, who hath his eyes like unto a flame of fire, and his feet are like fine brass. I know thy works and charity. That word charity means love, affection, benevolence, and your service or attendance. And your faith, that faith is persuasion, credence, reliance on Christ, and thy patience, which is cheerful endurance, and thy works, and the last to be more than the first. So, pause here for a moment. Jesus is saying, I know all the good things you've been doing. Excellent. Thank you. Those are good. Then let's see what else he has to say. Because no church, no person is perfect. We have to rely on forgiveness with each other and with each church. We have to move in forgiveness to stop the fruit of the evil that is going on from prospering. No weapon formed against us shall prosper. How do you stop it from prospering? You forgive something and it just stops it right in its tracks. So, you're going to see what Jesus is going to point out here now in verse 20. Notwithstanding, I have a few things against thee. Uhoh. See, there's always something. If you think you've made it, think again. Because you haven't. Jesus points out, "Ah, you got something else to work on. There always will be something else to do. Notwithstanding, I have a few things against thee. Because thou sufferest, or you let be that woman, by the way, that woman is a specifically a wife person, Jezebel, which is a false teacher, which calleth herself a prophetus or a female foreteller, to teach, and to seduce, roam astray, my servants, to commit fornication, to act the harlot, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols. I'm going to pause here for just a moment. I want you to see something here. This church is allowing a false teaching in here. Keep that in mind. We're going to get to this in just a little bit more. I give her space. I gave her space, time to repent, think differently, reconsider of her fornication, and she repented not. Okay? I want you to see something here with this false teaching. So, there's good teaching and there's false teaching. So, you got people that are in the word and you got people who are not in the word. I'm going to show you that here. Let's go to the next set of scriptures. Verse 22. Behold, I will cast her into a bed, a couch, bed for sickness, and them that commit adultery with her into great tribulation, which is affliction, burden, pressure, except they repent of their deeds. In other words, I'll stop doing it if they just repent. But I'm going to put them in their sick bed. Verse 23. And I will kill her children with death. And all the churches shall know that I am he which searches the res, the kidney, the inmost mind, and hearts. the thoughts or feelings and I will give unto every one of you according to your works. Okay? In the church today and in the past, you had people who got sick and died prematurely. And you have people that don't. There's many people who live to be old. There's many people who die prematurely. Now, why this scripture answers that if you can believe that he Jesus is saying, "Listen, I'm going to put you in your sick bed until you repent. If you go read my prayers in the empowering prayer under houseof faith ministries.org, you will find that those that are blaspheing the Lord, even though I forgive them and I ask the Lord to forgive them and I'm hoping to give them another chance to repent, but if they continue not to repent, I ask the Lord to put them in their sick bed. That's scriptural. That's what he does. He's telling us straight up he does this. So, if there's somebody in the church that has cancer, for example, they're believing in some sort of false teaching and they don't even know it's a false teaching. They don't. That's scary. But the you've got, let's say, Lydia who became a believer in Christ and knew what to do and was able to established the church. Now, keep in mind as the stat the church grew and she got older and eventually passed away, men took over the church because that's what had happened. Men became the dominant pastors. And keep in mind that Paul, Peter, James, Timothy, they were provided instruction on how to establish the office of pastor, the office of elders. And it always talked about pastor being married with his wife and their children under control. It talked about the elders the same principle where their household was in order with God. All of them were following God. And that's how you became a pastor or an elder. Now a pastor is someone who has to meet the needs of every individual in his church. So these mega churches, those pastors can't do it. So what they're doing is they're they're farming it out to others. That's not right. You're the pastor, not others. And maybe what you should do is make more pastors and split the church up into different congregations everywhere. And that those pastors will minister to th that little bit of congregation there. That way you're following scripture. Now, because they're talking about a role of a husband and a wife, and we know that Christ is head of the church, and husband is head of the church, we know that a pastor has to be a male. We know that because that is the established parameters. But keep in mind, look at Lydia here. She's a founder of a church. She had no husband. And yet, look at how much the Lord blessed her. God can use anyone. If he can use the rocks, he can use women, too. So, women, don't you give up. You stand strong because it's by the anointing of the Holy Spirit, by the fruit, that they're going to see your ministry. And they will know by your fruit who you are with Christ, not contaminated by false teaching. Because if you're always sick, you're, you know, when we moved out here to Missouri that first year, which we just had our yearly anniversary a few weeks ago, I we were sick. I think five or six times I finally went to the elders of this new church we're attending and I said, "I need you to pray over me," which is scriptural. See, I'm going back to the scripture. I'm not believing in whatever false teaching. And I believed it was an attack against me for doing what we did with the Lord because he opened the doors to do this for us. And next thing you know, I was fine. I haven't been sick since. You know what? I praise God and give him the glory and I'm taking holy communion regularly. This is awesome. That's how God works. That is how God works. Amen. Amen. Let's continue on to verse 24. But unto you, I say, and unto the rest, as many as have not this doctrine and instruction, and which have not known the depths of Satan, the accuser. And see, there's one clear um item that you can see in the church is the accuser. Who is the accuser? the devil. How many people want to get up and co gossip men and women alike in saying something in the way of did you see so and so? That's a form of accusation. He just took up the devil's role for him. He don't even have to do anything. You did it for him. By the way, that's false doctrine that you're walking in. And if you're wondering why you're sick, it could be your mouth that's in trouble. What is it that you need to do? Repent. Remember Jesus forgave you. Ask you forgive yourself. Go back to the power of the cross. What Jesus did because he forgave everybody on the cross by dying on the cross, redeeming us, raising from the dead. Then you go and take holy communion and that's going to remove your sickness and you won't be sick anymore. So if you, this is a tailtale sign. If you are walking in some sort of sickness on a regular ba basis, go back to the cross. The power of the cross. Amen. as they speak, lay forth. I will put upon you none other burden, weight, or load. So mean, if you're not following the accuser, you're not following, you're you're actually well and doing good, you're in the ministry and all's looking good, the Lord is not going to put on you any other burden. You won't be burdened anymore. So those that have a heavy burden, there's another tail sign. These are things that the Lord is showing you. I need you to get out of that doctrine. I'm putting this pressure on you so that you can realize what's happening so I can teach you to be right and get out of that. Amen. That's what Jesus is doing. Verse 25, but that which you have already hold fast seize retain till I come. He says, hold on to what you got. You're not sick. You're walking in goodness. You're walking in right. That's because you are going to God. Yes, you're walking in righteousness. Yes, you're walking in the word. You're looking at the word. You're living by the word and not by false doctrine. And because of such he tells you, hold on to it till I come. And he that overcomemeth and keepeth my works which were keepest to watch and guard it my works until the end. To him will I give power over the nations. And we're not done. He said, "And he shall rule them with a rod of iron as the vessels of a potter shall they be broken to shivers, even as I received of my father. and I will give him the morning star. He that hath an ear, let him hear what the spirit saith unto the churches. Tailtale signs here, my friends. Tailtale signs. These are signs that tell you whether you are walking correctly in the church. It has to be scriptural. This is why I don't believe personally that a woman should be a pastor. It needs to be a husband and a wife. But if the husband was a pastor and he has gone home to be with the Lord and the wife has left, she has every right and every authority to take the role of pastorship at that point and then she can divvy it out or she can just be there with the Lord and let the anointing be upon her because she should be equal with her husband because they both were in ministry unto the Lord and she followed the direction of her husband and through Christ. So she should have the knowledge there. You see how this works? depending on the circumstance and the history and where it's at. That is the power that we see God use in people in ministry. Amen. Now, to show you the transformation of things from old to new. This is why women don't count yourself out because you are a big important part of this. I'm going to go to Psalm 8 and four. uh 84 and5 What is man that thou art mindful of him and the son of man that thou visitest him? For thou has made him a little lower than the angels and has crowned him with glory and honor. Now look at this with the extra words. What is mortal that you're you remember you mention him by the way the word mindful means also full of mind. He's f God is fully con thinking of man of you and I at all times. He knows how much hair we have on our body at any given moment in time. He is so mindful of us. He says and you visit him, you care for him, you avenge him, you bestow him, you oversee him. You made him a little lower than the angels. And these this word angels is gods on the ordinary sense difference and has crowned you encircled to protect from attack him with glory and honor. This is how we're established. Okay? A little lower than the angels. But I want you to see something very very important of what Jesus did. Watch this. I just taught on this recently. John 20:16-1 17. Jesus saith unto her, Mary. She turned herself and saith unto him, Raboni, which is the same master. She's at the tomb. And she sees that Jesus is not there. And so Jesus is now revealing himself, "Hey, Mary, this is me. I'm right here." And then he says this. Jesus saith unto her, "Touch me not, for I am not yet ascended to my father, but go to my brethren and say unto them, I ascend unto my father and your father, and to my God and your God." Do you see what just happened here? We're made a little lower than the angels, but Jesus is the son of God. Jesus is telling Mary and Magdalene here, "Hey, I'm going up." And by the way, check this out. He just rose from the grave. He's got a billion souls behind him that he took out of paradise. He's on his way to his father and he stops. We can make this very comical. Everybody bumping back like, "Whoa, why did Jesus just stop? We're going to the father." And Jesus stops to talk to Mary Magdalene, a woman. He stops everything he's doing to talk to her, to share this most important thing. We're no longer a little lower than the angels. Jesus, his father, is our father. Do you see that? He says, "My father, your father, my God, your God." Oh, something changed. Something changes. Go to Romans 8:14. For as many as as are led by the spirit of God, they are the sons of God. You see, we're no longer a little lower than the angels, my friend. A change from history to Jesus took place where now man is with Christ. Now understand this. Yes, we're still in our flesh. So the flesh isn't there yet, but our spirit which has died to this flesh is up there with Christ standing next to Christ as joint hes right before our heavenly father. Oh, let's look at this. For ye have not received to take the spirit of bondage again to fear, but ye have received the spirit of adoption, the whereby we cry, aba, father. The spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit that we are the children of God. And if children then hes of God and joint hes with Christ. So if so be that we suffer with him that we may also be glorified together. Oh hallelujah. I hope you guys are seeing this. We're no longer under the angels. We're next to Christ. Which means when he says go into all the world and preach the good news, who is he talking to? male, female, Jew, Gentile, free, slave, Greek, black, white, Asian, Indian, whoever you are, male, female, whoever you are, you're called to ministry. Look at me. I'm not a pastor, but I am called to teach and preach the word of God. And those that catch this, by the way, continue to watch because they know by the fruit and the manifestation of what's being taught to them and how it grows in them. That is what the calling is. I don't have to be a pastor of a church to teach. Pastors do teach, but really they have the office to minister to their their congregation. If a person in the church gets into the uh the emergency room, they go they go there to be with them. They're praying with them, but they're to keep the church on the doctrine of the word of God and not allow false doctrine in to pray with them and get them back right at the power of the cross. That's the role of a pastor. And he has to do it with his wife because the two work in tandem because they are completed in an image of God. We are created in his image. male and female. I taught that when I talked about Eve. So now, even though I believe that women can't be pastors or elders do the requirements established by Paul and Peter and them in scripture, I believe women are joint hes in the church with Christ just as much as men. And if men falter or fail or they go home to be with the Lord, then God will use woman or whomever is ready and willing that is listening to him speak. I hope you get this. Hallelujah. Be ready. This means you need to get back to the power of the cross. Remember the redemption. This do in remembrance of me. Take your holy communion. If you think you've been too sinful, ask God to forgive you. He will forgive you. And ask him and then say, "Lord, I forgive myself." You see, once you let go and realize the sinner and the wretched, decrepit person that you were, you got to let that go and move forward in the calling of the spirit of God in your spirit. So his spirit will rise in you and you transform, change, you renew your mind. You think differently. You turn back and say, "Wait a minute." But the word of God says, "I'm not supposed to be sick. Why am I sick?" So you begin to follow what scripture tells you. You look at James 5. You go get prayed over by the elders. You forgive yourself. You forgive those around you. Forgive you the history of your genealogies. You forgive your children, your your grandchildren. You forgive them all. You walk in the spirit of forgiveness. And once you do that, God has forgiven you. You are forgiven. Sickness must flee because Christ is rising up in you. And sin and Christ don't mix. Diseases, sickness, and Christ don't mix. They both cannot reside in your body. And if they are, you're in a church that where you're sick and you've been told you you have cancer or this or that. Well, guess what? That's when you say, "Nope. I believe in the true word of God. And if I messed up here, Lord, forgive me. I'm going to I want to get right with you. How do I do it?" And the first thing you do is you ask for forgiveness. You get in your word. You spend time with the Lord. and you begin to find out what the Bible says, not what others say, what the Bible says, because now you get back on the right track with God. Amen. That's how it's done, my friend. Let's close in a word of prayer. Father God, we thank you for your word. We thank you for the revelation. And I pray that the enemy does not take this word out of our hearts or minds. That we do not forget the power and the authority of your word, but that we apply it to our lives. that we get right back in right standing with you, Father God. And I thank you for showing us women that we can be more with you and that we know that your Holy Spirit can work through us. We can pray for the sick. We can minister online. We can minister at Bible studies. Father God, thank you. Help us be stronger in your word. And Lord, push us aside and let your Holy Spirit manifest within us, within the woman and within the man, so that we're serving you, giving you all the glory because you are King of glory. Hallelujah, Father God. In the name of Jesus, we pray. Amen. Amen. Amen. God bless you. Next week is Fourth of July on Thursday. I'm going to take the entire week off and enjoy my vacation week. So, there will not be a teaching next week, but will resume the following week. God bless you, and I'll see you in the next message. Bye-bye. Previous Next Home

FELLOW HEIRS The objective of this message is to teach believers their identity and inheritance as fellow heirs with Christ, showing how the mystery revealed to Paul confirms that Gentiles are now partakers of God’s promises through Jesus. The message aims to equip listeners to walk boldly in the authority, power, and love granted to them as co-heirs, living in the dispensation of grace with full access to the gifts and fruits of the Holy Spirit. FELLOW HEIRS Minister Lisa Kane September 20, 2024 Objective: The objective of this message is to teach believers their identity and inheritance as fellow heirs with Christ, showing how the mystery revealed to Paul confirms that Gentiles are now partakers of God’s promises through Jesus. The message aims to equip listeners to walk boldly in the authority, power, and love granted to them as co-heirs, living in the dispensation of grace with full access to the gifts and fruits of the Holy Spirit. Synopsis: In this teaching, Lisa Kane explores the profound truth that Gentiles, through the gospel, have become fellow heirs with Christ (Ephesians 3:6). She explains how Jesus, the Word made flesh, fulfilled God’s plan by temporarily setting Israel aside so that the good news could reach the Gentiles. Through Paul’s revelation, believers now understand the mystery hidden for ages: that we are joint heirs with Christ, empowered by grace to share in His promises and authority. Lisa highlights that this inheritance calls us not only to salvation but also to walk in the same power Jesus demonstrated, empowered by the Holy Spirit to do even greater works. She emphasizes the importance of humility, obedience, and being rooted in love, for love is the foundation of all spiritual fruit and gifts. Drawing from John 14:12 and Paul’s testimony, she illustrates how believers are called to live boldly, ministering in unity as the body of Christ, showing God’s love in action. The message closes with a call to abide in Christ through prayer, Scripture, and obedience, allowing His love to transform hearts and His Spirit to manifest through gifts and fruit. As fellow heirs, believers are encouraged to embrace their divine calling, walking in confidence, boldness, and love to bring salvation and transformation to the world. Inspired Teaching - Written and/or Transcribed from Video Above: Hello and welcome to the House of Faith Ministries. I'm Lisa Kaine and I am recording this teaching on Friday, September 20th, 2024. Welcome. Let's open up in a word of prayer. Father God, we thank you for your word and we pray that your word does not return void. We pray that your word penetrates deep within our soul in our spirit in our mind as knowledge where it manifests the anointing of your holy spirit. Thank you father god. You are precious and holy and in the name of Jesus we pray. Amen. Amen. Welcome. I don't know if you can hear but we've got like a thunderstorm coming over here. So you're going to hear thunder here and it is windy. So and it just came on out of nowhere. So anyways, moving on. This message is called Fellow Heirs. Very excited about this teaching. I hope that you are blessed by it. Let's go to our opening scripture here. Ephesians 3:6. That the Gentiles should be fellows and of the same body and partakers of his promise in Christ by the gospel. So, the way I teach, in case you're new to this uh platform here, I'd like for you to notice that in the King James version, that's the scriptures I use. And the bolded words are the words in the King James version that the translators chose to translate from Hebrew or Greek into English. Well, that word that I have bolded could also mean other things. So like fellow heirs is co-air co-air joint heir together partakers is co-articipants promise is the announcement or pledge and the gospel is a good message so those are the words that could have been used and anyways um I like to add that extra words because it brings a more deeper meaning to us in our spirit. Amen. It just started pouring. Okay. So what is this? So this message is called fellow heirs. So here I want to go into the purpose of what I'm talking about. Jesus came to us as a man even though he was a spirit in the beginning. If you go back to John 1 1 through3 let's let's read that. It says in the beginning was the word and the word was with God and the word was God. The same was in the beginning with God and all things were made by him and without him was not anything made that was made. And remember the word became flesh, which is what Jesus represented. So because that word became flesh, that's Jesus. He was there in the beginning. He was born a woman, grew up a man, died as the son of God, taking on all the sin of the world. He rose from the grave three days later, ascended to heaven just before the day of Pentecost. You can go read about that in Acts 1 and two. So what the coming of Jesus did, he did two things and and you're going to see us fellow heirs. You're going to see us as a participant in the acts of what Jesus did. You're going to see that what we can do today. So uh the coming of Jesus did two things. It put Israel on hold until the return as a nation which happened in 1948 and Jerusalem became the capital in 1967. And this is on hold or Israel's on hold until the day of the Lord takes place. That has not happened yet. Right now we are in the time of the Gentiles. So the second thing Jesus did is he brought the gospel gospel good news to the Gentiles causing us to become fellow heirs with him for those who believe. So he had to put Israel on the sidelines to accomplish this task. He did this by having them rejected. So remember this was all to the purpose of God. He did this on purpose. So to fulfill the purpose of this teaching, we're going to show you what it is to have those promises and the power that Jesus had to do the things that he did. Because if we're co-airs, if we're fellow heirs, we get to do the same thing he did. You're going to see that here in just a moment. So let's go to Ephesians. We're going to be focusing here in chapter 3. So we saw verse 6 is our opening scripture. So now we're going to read verses 2-7. If ye have heard of the dispensation or administration, stewardship, appointed order or age of the grace of God which is given to me to you word. I want to pause here and I I think it's important to address this. There's a lot of teaching out there that says dispensational teaching is not biblical. Well, I'm we are in the fullness of the Gentiles, the dispensation of grace. And you can see Paul clearly talking about that here. If you have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which is given to me to you word. What Jesus did is he redeemed us of our sins. When he died, his pure blood landed on the mercy seat. He rose from the grave in power. And because he did that, he wiped away the sin of the world. And you get to accept that. You get to be a part of that freedom that Jesus accomplished. And to be fellows, guess what? When Jesus died, he rose from the grave. When you die, you rise from the grave. Your joint hes, fellow hes. Okay, I want you to get this and I want you to understand this. Verse three, how that by revelation and notice what he said by the way in verse two of the grace of God which is given to me given me to you word if you heard of this disposition in other words if you believe you heard it you accepted it remember there's a choice here been emphasizing the choice factor over the last couple of teachings verse three how that by revelation or disclosure or manifestation he made known unto me the mystery which is a secret as I wrote a or in few words whereby when ye read ye may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ. There's a secret here that Paul is going to tell us. This is very interesting. I want you to get this. This see the let's continue on. Let's read uh verse five. Which in other ages was not made known unto the sons of men as it see the purpose of Jesus coming. There was prophecy written but the revelation of what he accomplished was not revealed in the past. So Paul is say see when Paul met Jesus on the road to Damascus. Remember Paul was Saul at that time and he was coming after the church big time. He was going because he believed in the Bible the great God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. He did not believe or accept that Jesus was the son of God. So he came after the Christians, but Jesus interveneed on that road to Damascus. And when he intervened, Saul became Paul. And so for the next three years, he went into the wilderness. You see, Paul was the biggest of the Pharisees. He knew the scriptures. But in that three-year time period, he went to see the revelation of what who Jesus is as a son of God through his teachings he grew up with. And so that mystery became revelation to him. He got it. And now he because he's called to teach to the Gentiles, he wants to reveal that message to you and I. And that's what he's saying here. So which in other ages was not made known unto the sons of men as it is now revealed unto his holy apostles and prophets by the spirit that and here's our opening scripture that the Gentiles should be fellow airs and of the same body and partakers of his promise in Christ by the gospel the good message. Verse seven, whereof I was made a minister which is attendant run errands according to the gift of the grace of God given unto me by the effectual working of his power. This is incredible the revelation that Paul is sharing here. So we are in this in between time of putting Israel on hold and before the day of the Lord comes. What we know about this time is that it is the time of the Gentiles. You and I, the the Israelites don't have sacrifices anymore. That's stopped. They didn't have a temple anymore to go into because the power of God wasn't there anymore. The veil's been ripped in two. And it was thick, too. It ripped. But they can walk into the temp. Anybody can walk into the temple now and be a part with God, have a relationship with God, be a partaker of what God and Jesus promised us. So, we're in this in between time, this pause of Israel, the dispensation of grace. And here we are, by the way, as Gentiles teaching and preaching to the world. That's our responsibility. So this mystery that Paul was given was kept from the pro prophets and anyone who lived before Jesus and it became manifested to Paul and he began to write and teach about it and not only to anyone who wanted to read it but to the Gentiles specifically. You see Paul didn't walk with the apostles or the disciples in Jesus day. He came after and yet the Lord used him to get the Gentiles. Cuz see the apostles, the disciples are all Jewish. Paul Jewish. But God said to Jesus said to Paul, "I want you to go teach to the Gentiles." So he did. So, as Paul is explaining, as we continue to read here in Ephesians chapter 3, we need to understand the knowledge, the mystery that was revealed to him, this teaching of the redemption of the blood of Jesus to the Gentiles for the sin. Because in our opening scripture, Paul clearly tells us that we're fellows of this of the same body. We're partakers of this promise that Christ gave to the Israelites and to us. And there's a power that comes with this teaching and it's a gift of the grace of God. So why do we need to know this? Because that's a very good question. Go to John 14:12. Verily, verily, I say unto you, he that believeth or has faith in me, on me, the works or the toil, the labor that I do, Jesus says, shall he, that's you and me, do also, and greater or larger works than these shall he do because I go unto my father. Oh, so see, Jesus isn't here anymore. He ascended into heaven. So, he left us the Holy Spirit. And when you saw the day of Pentecost in Acts chapter 1 and two, you will see the anointing and that power come forth. We have that power, the Gentiles, to minister to those and do greater things than what Jesus did. That's and it almost seems impossible, but let's remember something here. You know, Jesus, a one-man individual, he did a lot while he while he was here. If you remember the end of the last verse of John chapter of the gospel of John which is John 21:2 it tells us that there are also many other things which Jesus did the which they should be written everyone I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written. Amen. So let's understand something here. When Jesus rose from the grave he invited everyone to his grace. Remember, anyone who calls upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. Romans 10:13. Now, Israel rejected him as the son of God. So, they got put on pause. They will be dealt with in the seven-year time period of God's wrath. Go read Revelation and Daniel. But as Gentiles in the time of the Gentiles, we are partakers of this power, and we get to do things even greater than him because we're fellows. So, how is this done? Let's go back to Ephesians 3 and let's start in verse eight here. Unto me who am less than least of all saints. See, Paul is recognizing, listen, I didn't walk with Jesus on the earth. I'm the least of them all. And yet, he walked in power. He walked in authority. And he changed the world with his teaching to the Gentiles. Paul did magnificent things. He continued the ministry of what Jesus was doing, which is what we're called to do as fellow hes. Hope you're getting this. Is this grace given that I should preach among the Gentiles, the unsearchable riches of Christ? You see, everything that Christ has done is worthy, valuable. It's more valuable than money. It's more valuable than our lives because he's saving lives with his ministry. Amen. And to make all men see, this is Paul talking. I'm going to make all men see because this is what he's called to do. What is the fellowship? The mystery. The fellowship of the mystery which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God who created all things by Jesus Christ. Remember, God hid this on purpose. He did this with a purpose and a plan. He kept it hidden. He's revealing it. It's It's as if all of the Old Testament, which is true life events, were written for you and I today in today's generation because we I do believe we're in that last generation just before his return or we won't our generation won't end as he returns. Amen. Let's continue on in verse 10. To the intent that now unto the principalities, you've got these rules. That's what principalities are. And powers as privilege in heavenly places might be known by the church. That's you and I. The calling out the manifold wisdom of God according to the eternal purpose which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord. in whom we have boldness and access with confidence by the faith of him. Wherefore I desire that ye faint not at my tribulations for you which is your glory or honor. So what is he saying here? Let's let's break this down. We have access to these rules and these powers to be bold, to be confident in sharing of the good news. And Paul is encouraging us. He doesn't want us to be bad, weak, fail, weary. This message, we shouldn't get tired of sharing it. It is the most important thing in the world. So when we see tribulations, things that Jesus did, he died on the cross. Every one of the disciples all were martyed except for John. I think he died of natural causes. But either way, they were all martyed. This is a blessing. And I want you to see this is not something we should look at and go. No, what we should do is look at it and say, "Hallelujah." Because see, life and death is in the palm of the hand of God. And the moment we leave our bodies, we come into his presence, absent from the body, present with the Lord. Oh death, oh death, where is your sting? Hallelujah. You see, this is the honor that we have. We get to walk in this confidence, in this boldness, knowing that we are fellow airs with Christ and what his ministry stood for, what his power does. We are the church calling out. We should be walking in this. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Let's go back to Ephesians 3 and we're now in verse 14. For this cause, I bow my knees unto the father of our Lord Jesus Christ. I want you to see something here. Paul is showing us the access, the privilege that we have of getting this power. You see, there's a condition of the heart that makes this possible. And a lot of us aren't ready. I remember years ago, I'm going to share a testimony at our Wednesday night Bible study next week, but a little piece of it. I remember going to tell after hearing the voice of God tell me to go to church. I remember going to confront my husband and in that moment I felt like I had every power and authority that I could do that I could cause lightning to come down. Hey, my husband's still alive so all is well. But how I felt so anticlimatic and defeated when he said, "Okay, I'll go with you." I thought I was going to have to fight him to go to church. Well, the fight came later. But in that moment, I had every power and authority and I knew it. And the reason I teach this now is because I want you to know and understand that as fellow heirs, we have this power. We have this authority to come in and to make a difference and to show people the true power of God. Not witchcraft, not uh voodoo or any of that junk. No, we are looking at the true power and authority of God that we have access to. And he's showing us how to do it. He bowed his knees. So he humbled himself. And then look at what he says. Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named. We come through the descendant or lineage of Adam. Adam failed. But Jesus came through that same line. We come through that same line. We're brothers and sisters with Jesus. I hope you're getting that. In heaven and earth is named. Verse 16. that he would grant give you according to the riches the wealth of his glory to be strengthened. You're you're empowered increased in vigor with might which is that force or miraculous power by his spirit in the inner man. You should be able to feel this on the inside. You should be hearing the anointing of the Holy Spirit. So he started off with the humbling. Remember he humbled himself and now he's got this might. So what happens next? He this verse 17 that Christ may dwell. Oh, wait a second here. Have I been teaching on abiding in the secret place with the Lord? How many messages now? Here's Paul telling us by humbling him, getting that power, you're to dwell in the in your heart with by faith that ye being rooted and grounded in love. Here's love. I just taught on this last week. We need to have love. Without love, it's clanging symbols. It's nothing. And there's people who called out demons in the name of Jesus and did all this because demons know the name of Jesus is powerful. But when that person goes to face judgment with God and that person says, "Well, I cast out all those demons in your name. I did all this in your name." And Jesus says, "I don't know who you are." See the love is absolutely imperative that we have in our hearts. So let's read that again. Verse 17. That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith that ye you being rooted and grounded in love may be able to comprehend. Look at this word comprehend is to take eagerly seize possess with all things. Meaning we got to do this in unity. We do this as a body of Christ. We do this as the church. And look what he says. What is the breadth and length and depth and height? We're gonna continue on in a minute. That just means every part of Jesus. Every part. How high he is, how low he'll go, how far to the left or right he will go to get us. That is what he's telling us here. We can understand that completely by humbling ourselves, getting our love back in our heart, which is understanding the love of God. Jesus did the ultimate love sacrifice. He went to the cross and died for us. That's love. I don't care what anyone else says. It could be, "Oh, I got this feeling and emotion." No, no, no. It's the benevolence. It's the the obligation. Jesus had an obligation and he went and did his duty. That's the kind of love we're talking about. It It's a self-control emotional aspect, but it's a knowing in the mind. I got to go do this because I need so and so to be saved. I got to go tell him. I got to stay strong in the Lord. I got to get in my secret place because I need that love in me to keep moving me forward so that I have it purposed in my heart. I want so and so saved. I gotta get my brother, my sister, my love, my cousins, my parents, my children. This is what you're fighting for. This is what you're living for. Amen. And this is it. And look at this verse 19. And to know the love of Christ. There it is. The affection and benevolence which passes knowledge. It goes past beyond the knowledge of it that ye may be filled with fullness of God. Because that's how you're going to understand that. That's how you're going to know this. You see, by humbling ourselves and and understanding what Christ did on the cross. That's where love starts. Hey, he died for me. There's you don't even have to have an emotional experience to that. It's a start. It's a knowledge. And what happens is because you have that knowledge, you say, "Okay, well, I want to go find out more about who Jesus is." and you begin to spend time with him. What happens? You're abiding in him. That knowledge the the effective it begins goes beyond knowledge. It's now an emotional integral part of your being that when people see you, they get to know you. They know you by your fruits because you're walking in love. You are walking in that holiness with him. And they see that And it is strengthening your inner man because you're letting the word of God, remember that's Jesus Christ in the flesh, was the word and the word became flesh. That word you're allowing it to manifest, boil right out of you and it is splattering on everyone around you because love is what binds us all together. This is what brings us into that unity. Amen. You can go read 1 Corinthians chapters 12,13 and 14. You will see how love works especially in the gifts of the power of the Holy Spirit. And these are gifts that Christ gives us so that we can bring those we love to his holiness. So we but we have to understand comprehend the rules the powers that God has established for us as the church to use. We have to know how to use them. We don't want to be ignorant of that. This is why when he talks about the height, the width, the depth, the length, he's showing us a complete full understanding of how God sets things up, how he operates in that power through love and obedience. Because Paul was not only did he bow his knees, humble himself, get the love, and dwell in Christ, he was obedient to do that actionable item. That's what he did. Oh, that's incredible. Let's go read the last two verses in chapter 3, Ephesians. Now unto him that is able. Not everyone can do this, but he's talking to you and me. Watch this. Now unto him that is able possible to do exceeding abundantly over above all that we ask or think according to the power the miraculous power that workketh in us. Unto him be glory unto God be glor or actually unto us be the glory honor in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages world without end. Amen. Catch that he's talking about us. He's saying you know if you're able see possible it starts with knowledge you see something happen you see a miracle and you're just like okay I remember I've seen these things I mean my my young adulthood of life I grew up in the church but at that point in my life what God did to transform me was incredible. So, I got the knowledge of it then. But what the Lord has been working on me throughout my life since is building up his love in my heart because I'm coming to realize how much he loves others as much as he loves me. I shared this before. I'll share it again. I did not want to pray for Hamas who attacked Israel. I felt Israel should kick their behinds out of here. But I also felt very conflicted about that. The Holy Spirit was telling me, "You need to pray for them. I love them just as much as you." And when I was obedient to that and I prayed for them and I not only prayed, I prayed that I I forgave them. I had to forgive them. That's the act of obedience here. I forgave them. And then I asked God to forgive them. Remember Jesus says, "Whatever you forgive, I will forgive." So he becomes obligated to forgive and he forgave them. And then I asked for the Holy Spirit to move in their hearts and minds. And God sent them a vision of the same man in their dreams. Over 200 Hamas men had that dream. They went to the missionary which was nearby and they said, "What does this mean?" And the missionary was able to minister to them and they were harvested. They became believers in Christ. And I am very confident that my prayer is what pushed that over the edge. So I continue to pray today in obedience because he loves them just as much as he loves me. So all those people we see in the world that we don't like, he loves them just as much as he loves me. So who is able? Are you able? Are you able to believe? Are you able to dwell in the secret place with him? Are you able to go find out? Because you are fellow heirs. You are. When Jesus was ascending from heaven, he made a pit stop. He stopped at the garden of Gethsemane or excuse me at at where the stone was rolled away where he was buried. His body was buried and Mary Magdalene was there and he stops. So he's got like billions of souls behind him and he stops and he says to her, "My father, I go to my father, your father." uh my God, your God. That is him fulfilling the fact that we are fellow airs, joint hes that before we were made a little lower than the angels, we're now equal with Jesus. And I hope you understand that. And if Jesus can walk in the power and the authority to raise people from the dead, to heal people from the sick that and to let them see and no longer be blind. Guess what? we have the access and privilege to do because we are fellow heirs. We can do that. That is our calling and we should be doing that. And what do you do? Humble yourself before the Lord. Get on your knees. Dwell in the place. Read his scriptures. Ask him. Start talking with him. Let his word come back to you as you read it because that's his communication to you. And then you ask him and he will reveal to you as he did Paul. Paul is a fellow air as well. And we're fellow airs right there with Paul. Jesus. If he can reveal a mystery to Paul, he can reveal it to us. And he can answer every single one of your questions that you have because that's who we believe in and that's who we partner with. That's who we are co-artakers with. He has all the knowledge. He's the creator. Well, that means we get to know everything. Now we don't know everything but when we come together in unity and remember that love that he has for everyone that love that we begin to show and we abide in and we let that love manifest in us then Jesus can move through us and that allows the Holy Spirit to push through and let the gifts move through us. Let us become fruitful. It it shows us the fruit. We we begin to manifest the love, joy, peace, gentleness, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, meekness, temperance. That is the fruit. And then the gifts on above and beyond that where we get to talk to someone and and share something with them that they never told you. That's the Holy Spirit revealing something to you to get their attention. How did you know about that? That is the Holy Spirit manifesting. Amen. Let's close in a word of prayer. Father God, we thank you for your word and we bless your word. You are amazing and glorious and faithful and I thank you for your word. Lord, I pray that we hear your word that we take the action of it by humbling ourselves, getting to know the knowledge of what you have done on the cross and the rising of your from the grave, the rising of you from the grave. And we just pray that that penetrates our heart and that we actually abide in your word. We pray and ask that the gifts and the fruits of the Holy Spirit uh the fruits manifest in us and stay within us and we get to show that for the rest of our lives and that the gifts manifest so that we can minister to your body in the name of Jesus and to the souls that are lost out there right now Lord. Thank you father God in the name of Jesus we pray. Amen. Amen. Amen. God bless you. I will see you in the next message. Bye-bye. Previous Next Home

I AM THE WAY The objective of this teaching is to lead believers into a deeper understanding of Jesus Christ as the way, the truth, and the life (John 14:6). It emphasizes that Jesus not only provides the path to salvation but also offers continual progress, deliverance, healing, and restoration for those who follow Him. The goal is to encourage listeners to walk in the authority, prescriptions, and commandments of Christ, applying His word and promises to every area of their lives. I AM THE WAY Minister Lisa Kane November 10, 2024 Objective: The objective of this teaching is to lead believers into a deeper understanding of Jesus Christ as the way, the truth, and the life (John 14:6). It emphasizes that Jesus not only provides the path to salvation but also offers continual progress, deliverance, healing, and restoration for those who follow Him. The goal is to encourage listeners to walk in the authority, prescriptions, and commandments of Christ, applying His word and promises to every area of their lives. Synopsis: In this message, Lisa Kane unpacks the powerful declaration of Jesus in John 14:6: “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No man cometh unto the Father but by me.” The teaching highlights that Jesus is more than just the access point to God—He is our ongoing progress, the truth that sets us free, and the life that sustains us. Through His obedience to the Father and His completed work on the cross, believers are redeemed, reconciled, and empowered to walk in the same authority He carried. Lisa explains how trials, persecution, and daily struggles can weigh on the soul, but the prescription Jesus gives—faith, obedience, repentance, and reliance on His name—brings victory and deliverance. Scriptures such as Psalm 35:3 and Romans 10:9 are used to show how confession and declaration of Jesus as Lord establish healing, freedom, and breakthrough. She also reminds believers of the importance of holy communion, dwelling in God’s presence, and obeying Christ’s commandments as the ongoing prescription for health and wholeness. The message weaves together biblical teaching, personal testimony, and practical application. It encourages believers to call on the name of Jesus in every area—health, finances, relationships, and spiritual growth—knowing that His Spirit dwells within us. Lisa urges listeners to embrace their identity as joint-heirs with Christ, walk in deliverance from sin and sickness, and live abundantly as a testimony to God’s glory. Ultimately, this teaching stirs faith, awakens revival, and calls for a renewed commitment to Jesus as the only way, the eternal truth, and the source of everlasting life. Inspired Teaching - Written and/or Transcribed from Video Above: Hello and welcome to the House of Faith Ministries. I'm Lisa Kaine and I'm recording this teaching on Sunday, November 10th, 2024. Welcome. 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 I pray that what we receive today in your word just ministers to our heart that it never leaves. that we know what your presence is. That we know what you have done for us. That we recognize it and honor and respect respect who you are and the prescriptions that you've given us to stand in good health with you to stand in good faith with you. to have faith, Father God, to lift you up, to bless you, to march as a saint of your army and to take back what belongs to us in the name of Jesus. Because you are a God who restores, who reconciles and we know this, Father God, and we are asking for your reconciliation. We are asking for a spirit of revival. We are asking for a spirit of repentance. We are asking for the spirit of truth to be within us, Father God, to manifest out of us. and manifest into all those around us. In the name of Jesus, we pray that your word go forth. Jesus name. Amen. Amen. Amen. Oh, I'm very excited about this teaching. Actually, I haven't even practiced it or or rehearsed it, but I know this is from the Holy Spirit, and so good. Okay, so we're going to call this I am the way. Let's go to our opening scripture here in John 14:6. Jesus saith unto him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No man cometh unto the Father but by me." Now, as a reminder, when I teach, I teach using the King James version scripture. So, when you see a word in bold, that's the word that the King James version translators chose. The words in uh parentheses come from the Strong's Hebrew or Greek dictionary. And there are other words that could have been used in lie of the bolded word. So, so I am the way. Oh, look at what the word way means. Word way is another way to look at it is your road or your progress. As you make progress in your relationship with the Lord, Jesus is saying, I am that way. I am your progress. And if you are truthful with yourself, you can look at yourself and know that he has made great progress in each of us. statement. Some more than others, but that's okay. Still making progress in this. That's what's incredible. And he says, "The truth and the life, no man comes or to go or comes to come or go unto the father but by me." So Jesus is talking to his disciples in in this section of of scripture. So let's put it in context. He is speaking to his disciples about who the father is. And they're asking, you know, well, who is the father? So he's saying if you see me and you see what I do, you will know the father. Because Jesus did everything his father asked him to do. His father asked him to go and redeem us. And Jesus said, "I have no problem with this. I'm going to go redeem them, redeem the lost." He went to the cross in full knowledge of what he was going to accomplish, knowing that he could not step away from it. He went through with it. He could have called down legions of angels and changed the whole outcome. He could have changed anything anywhere. But he went through with it. And that's very important for us to understand what Jesus says, I am the way or when he says, "I am the way." You see, when Jesus went to the cross and he did exactly what he wanted to do and he went through with it, I can't emphasize that enough. When he got to the other side, he says, "Here, I'm giving you this." We're going to get into scripture. We're going to see more of this. So, he is saying, "I'm not leaving you comfortless. I'm not leaving you without a way. I am leaving you to go to my father, but I'm making you an equal to me where you would do greater things than even I. How do I know this? We're going to see this in scripture. The other thing is when you look at when Jesus was on his way out of death because he died and he was buried for three days and he's out of that. He's ascending from that on his way up. And I've said this numerous times through several teachings and actually did a teaching on it um called my father my god. Jesus says to Mary Magdalene on the way up I go to my father your father my god your your god. So we know that if Jesus is going to imitate his father and we imitate Jesus, we can imitate God in the relationship that he's given us because he's given us a way. I'm not saying we're going to be gods. We're not. But we are adopted joint hes meaning the same authority that Jesus has ha has because he still has it. The same authority we have today. And I'm hoping to be able to teach this to you so that you can come out of whatever you're dealing with and walk in his anointing, in his freedom, in his liberty because you don't have to walk the same way the world walks. So, let's continue on in John or excuse me, look at Psalm Psalm 35:3. Draw or pour out also the spear or the lance javelin and stop the way against. Now, that way against is encountering against friendly or hostile them that persecute or run after chase me. Say unto my soul, which is my breathing creature vitality, I am thy salvation, which means something saved, delivered. Let's talk about this for a moment. When Jesus says, "I am the way," he's your progress. He's the one who's going to get you going. This psalmist is saying, "Look, I need you to stop what's coming against me, whether it's friendly or hostile. In this case, it's hostile." They're persecuting him. They're chasing him. And he's saying unto his soul, I am thy salvation. Because he's saying Jesus, he's referring to the salvation of God. And he's telling it to his soul. Remember what Romans 10:9 says that if you confess with your mouth, Jesus is Lord and believe that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. This is very, very important that we're dealing with the mouth here. And you can see the psalmist is telling you, listen, there's things that are coming after you. They're persecuting you. It could be you. You could be persecuting yourself, not getting enough sleep, irritated by everything and anything around you. It could be the world against you. We just had the election and Trump became the victory. He's going to be the 47th president of the United States of America. And I see these people throwing themselves down on the ground like they're demonic. Actually, it reminds me of a demonic situation uh or even a 2-year-old temper tantrum. I saw one girl throw herself down, get up and run and miss the door and just face planted the edge of the door and collapsed. She she knocked herself out. the see to her in her mind using her as an example she didn't get the outcome she wanted. So she is being persecuted. You have things that are on your plate at work or you have your children or your finances or your health, whatever it may be. These are things that are on your mind that are important to you that are persecuting you. I don't have enough money for this. I don't know why my health is doing this. And these are the things that persecute. They chase after us. Look at what he's saying here. But then he says, "Say unto my soul, I am thy salvation." Because remember, Jesus lifted us up and we're equals with him. And what authority he has, we have. I know that you're probably thinking, "No, no, no. I'm not like Jesus or I cannot be like Jesus." It could be at the moment in your life, the way you're living your life, especially if you're thinking that you're thinking and you're possibly living in sin. Well, guess what? The purpose of Jesus going to the cross was to redeem you of all sin. He's done that. Now, now that you're redeemed, what do you think of that? How do you think of that? What should you do? Maybe show some respect and say, "I'm going to turn my life around. I don't want to think like that. I don't want to be like a sinner. I don't want to do that anymore. I want to say to my soul that I am saved. I am delivered." You see, the thing about deliverance ministry, let's let's get the the basics of this for just a brief moment. It's taking your thinking from thinking what is against you, focusing on the issues against you and challenging or changing that thinking to the thinking of Jesus is my Lord and Savior. So, for example, if you've gotten some rough news from the doctor, cancer, you're going through chemotherapy or anything, my mom is having to go through this and it is rough and it is rough. However, she has the right to change her thinking, saying, "I don't need to go through this. I've got the name of Jesus, and I declare the name of Jesus over my life." If you have somebody who's persecuting, your finances are persecuting you, which are based on decisions you made, but or out maybe out of circumstances, out of your hands, maybe. What you can do though is you say in the name of Jesus, I'm delivered. I'm healed. I'm set apart from that. That's what I am. The way, the truth, and the life is. You're declaring the name of Jesus with the progress report of goodness of Jesus' name of his authority over your circumstance. Now it might not happen in that moment or even two weeks but I will tell you there is a shift and sometimes it happens immediately where everything suddenly shifts for you because you declared the name of Jesus over it. Now I believe that it happens right away. Let's remember though what happened to Daniel when he went to the Lord and started fasting. The angel told him, it took him 21 days to get there. And the angel told him, I started getting here that first day when the Lord told me to come here, but I had opposition. So now we're understanding there is a spiritual opposition atmosphere going on around us. But when we declare the name of Jesus, we are free. We are no longer under the oppressive enemy pulling us down. We can be delivered, set free, healed, walk out of it. We can finally say, "I've had enough. I'm not going to take any more medications. I'm sick and tired of this. I want my stomach to be normal. I do not want to have issues with my appetite. I'm gonna live to the life fully because no matter how much medication you take, no matter how much of whatever you do, you're not going to add one extra second on your life because you will go home with the Lord when the Lord wants you to go home. The question is now, do you want to live your life now while you're in the flesh for Christ and live it fully, comfortably, pleasant, or do you want to live it in pain and suffering the way the world thinks it needs to be lived? Oh, you got cancer, you have to do the chemotherapy. Or, oh, you got diabetes, you're going to have to take those drugs. Let me let me let you in on a little secret here, my friends. God has provided the authority of his name Jesus. He has provided the herbs of the earth and he has provided a mechanism of where our bodies heal themselves. We should not be in the condition we're in. And that goes for the entire world. We should not have the health crisis we see today. And you want to know why we shouldn't see it? Is because we need more teachers and more preachers that are getting up and standing up in faith. We are the house of faith ministries. We're about faith where we stand up in faith and declare faith and atone for one another, forgive one another, love one another, love his commandments. That is the prescription that Jesus gives us to live life to its fullest, without pain, without discomfort, without hurt. That's the gift of life we have. Romans 6:23 says, "The wages of sin is death." So if we're dying, it's because we've sinned. But if you ask Jesus to forgive you, guess what? Sin's gone. Now you're living life. You should not be living the consequences of what your sin did. And it should be forgiven and nullified where it doesn't even go to your children or your grandchildren or your great-grandchildren. Do you know that we're living today this we are part of the consequences of what our greatgrandparents lived before us. So whatever sin that they were inherent upon or uh susceptible to they that influences us today. I don't even know my great-grandparents. They I knew them as a little child but I did not know them know them as an adult. So I have no idea what their life was about, but I prayed and forgave them, which breaks the chain of the consequences. So now I pray and forgive me and Jesus forgives me. So it breaks the chain so that my children, my daughter, my grandsons, and my great grandchildren that I don't have yet, if the Lord carries, they are covered and protected. Now they've got righteousness on them, a blessing of righteousness. So ask yourself, do you not just want to be better physically, but do you want your children to be better physically? Because that's important. Let's continue on and get into this. I know we're 15 minutes in. I haven't even got to the meat of it. John 14:es 12-8. Verily, verily, I say unto you, he that believeth or has faith on me, the works that I do shall he do also, and greater works than these shall he do, because I go to my father. Jesus says basically if I stay longer with you I might have beat you on the works but because I have to go to my father because I have to build there's gonna be mansions for you. If you read the scriptures in this chapter he talks about mansion. He says I wouldn't tell you if they weren't there. They're there. He's building a home for you. So he had to go to his father. So he says, "I need you to walk in my authority and I need you to do even greater things than I did because I want my way to go forth, which is that road, that progress report of salvation building and building and suddenly manifesting itself out onto others where you're in the grocery store and somebody asks you, "Hey, What is it that you have that I don't? There's there's something about you. You're full of life and light. I like it. What is it that you That's when you say, "I have Jesus." And they see the difference. And they know you get to witness to them. Verse 13. And he continues on. And whatsoever ye shall ask, that word ask is beg, call, desire, crave in my name, that will I do, that the father may be glorified or magnified in the son. You got to ask for what it is that you want. You want to be cancer free, ask to be cancer free. And I suggest doing it with somebody at your church who is either an elder or on the prayer team who is covered by the eldership. As James 5 says, get anointed by oil. And where two or three are gathered in his name, there Jesus is in the midst. And then you ask, I want to be cancer free. And he will show you that way to get there. Whether you start feeling better immediately or it takes time. Sometimes it's a progress a progress. You know, me getting clean and out of that diabetic realm. It took about three months. I had been on that stuff for I don't know several years because I believed what the doctor said. I mean, I just h I'm I'm so glad that the Lord showed me how to get out of that because I was entwined in that. And it's like, how can I be in ministry and and how could I stand in faith and represent faith, especially in this ministry and not walking myself? You see, it's an oxymoron, you know, and and half the time when I'm preaching, I'm preaching to myself. But I'm urging you, call on the name of Jesus. He is the way. He's going to make that way through your life a way where you're going to get to the desire. You're going to get to where it is you want. But he might change your desire. He might transform your mind, the way you think. Instead of just praying for me, me, me, me, myself, and I, he's going to have you praying for those around you. and he's going to minister to uh through that path. So go to verse 14. If ye ask, if if ye shall ask, which is at call, crave, desire, anything in my name, I will do it. Then look what he does. He adds something extra here. He says, if ye love me, keep my commandments. That word love means social moral sense. It's like an obligation. That word commandment is prescription. He's telling you this is the prescription to stay healed. Do you see this? I hope you are love out of social moral sense obligation. So in other words, when you are obligated to God, especially for what Jesus did on the cross, you you you recognize, you say, "Wow, Jesus, you did this on the cross." And it gets on the inside of you. It changes you. And when you sense that change, suddenly you're obligated. You feel the obligation, the moral sense, the right thing to do. Right thing is to go to church. The right thing is to read the Bible. The right thing is to call on Jesus. And notice what he says. If you keep my commandments, his commandments, the prescription, what are his commandments? keep the social moral sense obligation. That's love. That's the definition of the love used in this scripture. And he's telling you if you keep if you love me, you're obligated to him. You you're you have your sense, your moral sense for him. Keep the commandments, your prescription. Now, a lot of prescription deals with making sure you keep calling on the name of Jesus, making sure that you keep taking holy communion, making sure that you are in church, making sure that you are reading your Bible. Psalm 91 says to dwell in the presence with the Lord in the secret place. There's all kinds of things the Bible tells us to do. And they're not hard. They're very simple, easy things. Jesus says, "My yoke is not heavy." And it isn't. We're to go do these things. And then he says further verse 16, "And I will pray." Jesus will pray, interrogate, request, beseech, desire the father. He's going to go to the father and he will give you another comforter, which means intercessor, consoler, advocate that he may abide with you forever. You see, you have the spirit of God, the Holy Spirit within you that when you say in the name of Jesus, guess what? The Holy Spirit and his strong angels move on your behalf. And especially if you're putting in the word of God with it, no weapon formed against me shall prosper. By his stripes, I was healed. Guess what? The Holy Spirit, the spirit of life, these strong angels are obligated because they obey God, because they love God, they're obligated to move on your behalf. And guess who runs? The devil. Let's keep going. Even the spirit, this is verse 17, even the spirit of truth whom the world cannot receive because it seeth him not. Neither know it. They don't, they don't know him. They don't know the spirit of truth. They don't know Jesus. But ye talking to us who believe. Ye know him for he dwells. He Jesus is staying. He's relating with us. He's enduring with us and shall be in you. He says, "I will not leave you comfortless or bereie, fatherless, perilous. I will come to you even to this day. The Holy Spirit comes to us because he is within us. But keeping his commandments, verse 21, he that keep that hath my commandments, the prescription, you have it. You see, you already know the prescription. And the prescription is in the name of Jesus. You get a headache instead of taking a pill. In the name of Jesus, I'm whole healed. I don't have a headache. Take the holy communion because it reminds you to go back to the power of the cross. It says, "Here I am at the cross, Lord. I remember what you did, Jesus. By your stripes, I'm healed. By the crown, the thorns that you had in your head. By the blood that came down your body, I am redeemed. I have no sin left in me because it has fleeed because your blood flows through my veins." And as you say that, as you walk in that authority, I promise you, and Jesus keeps his promises that he will be with you, it will not bother you, you can have life and life abundantly. Amen. Verse 21. He that hath my commandments, prescripture, prescription, and keeps it, you watch, you guard, you keep an eye on those commandments. You keep an eye on it. Oh man, we didn't go to church on Sunday. I need to have holy communion. Let me have holy community. Let's do it now. I'm learning that holy communion is a very powerful tool in keeping healed and whole. I urge you to take holy communion at minimum a week. We do it every Sunday at the church. And if we happen to miss that service for whatever particular reason, we're here at home and we have holy communion. It is very imperative that we take that holy communion. That's one. That's an obligation that shows love to Jesus because you're remembering him on the cross. And that activates the power of the cross by his stripes. He was whipped on the back for us. And that was for our healing so that we could be healed and live in our healing. We don't have to live in sickness and disease. Amen. And watch you have See, you got to keep guard over that. I just emphasize that them he it is that loveth me. Let's start from that scripture at the top of that scripture. He that hath my commandments and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me. You see, by you demonstrating keeping those commandments, you're showing your love to him. And he that loveth me shall be loved of my father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him. Jesus will glorify himself out of your body, and he will show you off to the world. That's how much he wants to be there. He's going to tell the world, "Look, she's not going to age as much as someone who's in sin all the time. She's going to look beautiful and you're going to see that peace and that faith and that love and that joy come out of her because he's demonstrating his will, his way out of you which will minister to hundreds of thousands if not millions of people. Amen. Because you will do greater things than he did. Verse 22, Judas saith unto him not a scariot, Lord, how is it that thou will manifest thyself and not unto the world? Jesus answered and said unto him, "If a man love me, he will keep my words, and my father will love him, and we will come unto him and make our abode with him." See, Jesus is going to come and reside in you, reside in you. He's going to be there in you because you're the holy temple. Your body is a holy temple. He wants to abode in you. The father with him and the comforter. So all three, the trinity wants to abide in you. Verse 24. He that loveth me not keepeth my not my sayings, and the word which ye hear is not mine, but the father's which sent me. These things have I spoken unto you, being yet present with you. But the comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance whatsoever I have said unto you. Do you think the disciples remembered everything that they spoke about or what Jesus spoke about to them during the three years? No. But the Holy Spirit came and told them, reminded brought to remembrance me getting delivered. It took a three-month progress of getting rid of that diabetic medicine, cholesterol medicine, all that junk. It took about three months. But the Lord, the Holy Spirit kept bringing to remembrance conversations I had with doctors and then showing me the red flags. And I was like, "Oh, I don't want to live like this. They've been lying to me. I don't have diabetes." And I had never had I tried casting it out. And by the way, I had casted out depression 30 plus years ago and I was successful at that because that was a real spirit. Diabetes isn't. But the name of Jesus is real and he resides in me. So every time you confess with your mouth, Jesus is Lord. Jesus is Lord over my finances. Jesus is Lord over my head. Jesus is Lord over my heart. Jesus is Lord over my blood. Jesus is Lord over my finances. Jesus is Lord over my household. Jesus is Lord over my children. Jesus is Lord over my grandchildren. Jesus is Lord over my parents. Jesus is Lord over my siblings. You keep claiming the name of Jesus over everything. Jesus says that's you're obligated. You're doing that out of love. Because you're doing it out of love. You're keeping my commandments. You're dwelling in me because you keep remembering to say his name. I will dwell with you. And by the way, where God is, where Jesus is, where the Holy Spirit is, sin cannot be. It cannot reside. It cannot be any powerful at all. It is dead. It dies. Sin goes. And therefore the consequences go as well which means aging slows down for us because we're spending more time with the Lord which means we have more strength in our bodies. We have more strength in our minds. You see understand the spiritual aspect and consequences and don't be limited by what I'm teaching either. Go to the Holy Spirit. Go to the father. Ask him to express show and explain to you what he's doing. because he will reveal it to you and he will teach it to you. And perhaps, who knows, you might have part of the teaching that the rest of the world is missing. All because you're obedient, keeping his commandments, getting it back to the cross, dwelling in him, and letting him dwell in you. that liberty that you get to have from sin, from sickness, from diseases, from financial destitution because that's how good our God is. Amen. Let's close in a word of prayer. Father God, we thank you for your word. We bless your word. I pray that faith builds up in each and every one of our hearts and minds. Father God, I pray that we do not lose this teaching that it stays permanently in our minds where we're calling on the name of Jesus in everything that we do. But we're dwelling with you and you're dwelling with us because we love you. We do it yes out of a moral sense and obligation. But at the same time there is that empathic emotional love that is there that we say Lord Lord Lord Jesus you're Jesus over my skin. You're Jesus over my mind. You're Jesus over my heart. Oh Lord, I pray that this catches on, that there's a spirit of the name of Jesus that manifests in all of us and throughout the body of Christ, the church, and the kingdom of God. Thank you, Lord. Thank you, Lord. In the name of Jesus, we pray. Amen. Amen. God bless you. I'll see you in the next teaching. Bye-bye. Previous Next Home

UNDERSTANDING THE BOOK OF REVELATION PART 6 Equip listeners to see how the entire Bible converges in Revelation, strengthening faith amid cultural pushback; explain God’s redemptive timeline (from the dispensations through Daniel’s 70 weeks to the Tribulation); and urge believers to trust God’s daily mercy, live with the mind of Christ, and proclaim the gospel while there is time. UNDERSTANDING THE BOOK OF REVELATION PART 6 Pastor Marcos Marrero June 7, 2009 Objective: Equip listeners to see how the entire Bible converges in Revelation, strengthening faith amid cultural pushback; explain God’s redemptive timeline (from the dispensations through Daniel’s 70 weeks to the Tribulation); and urge believers to trust God’s daily mercy, live with the mind of Christ, and proclaim the gospel while there is time. Synopsis: The message opens in praise and prayer, anchoring hope in Lamentations 3:22–23—God’s mercies are new every morning. We thank God for adoption, sealing by the Spirit, and the commission to take the gospel to all nations. The speaker frames Revelation as the capstone where the preceding 65 books find fulfillment, arguing its coherence across 1,500 years of inspiration and encouraging confidence in Scripture despite modern skepticism. A sweeping overview of dispensations follows: Innocence (Adam and Eve) → Conscience (post-Fall self-awareness and the battle between God’s word and the serpent’s lies) → widespread corruption leading to the Flood at year 1,656 from Adam. Human Government begins at ~1,657 (Noahic covenant), continues to today, and will be judged when the “kingdoms of this world” become Christ’s. Promise (Abraham ~year 2000) establishes an eternal, twofold covenant (physical and spiritual seed). Law (Moses ~year 2500) given at Sinai; still awaiting judgment. Grace/Church Age (Christ at ~year 4000; Pentecost) fulfills Passover, Unleavened Bread, Firstfruits, and inaugurates global gospel mission. The sermon contrasts the fallen human mind—at enmity with God—with the mind of Christ given to believers, illustrated by a dream showing supernatural peace in the face of death. Babel and Nimrod exemplify rebellion; today’s global systems (language/technology) foreshadow end-time centralization. Daniel 9’s “70 weeks” is unpacked: 490 years are decreed for Israel and Jerusalem. After 483 years “Messiah is cut off,” creating a pause in which grace goes to the nations. The final 7 years resume when Antichrist confirms a covenant: First half (1,260 days): Two Witnesses minister with miraculous authority; trumpet judgments include a five-month demonic torment and a massive mortality event; this period culminates in their martyrdom and the abomination of desolation. A brief midpoint pause is noted (their bodies lie unburied ~3.5 days), aligning time markers. Second half (1,290 days + 45 days): Great Tribulation against Israel escalates; days are “shortened for the elect.” Post-Tribulation, a 45-day window completes judgments of the nations. Satan is bound for the Millennium, ending open transgression and inaugurating righteousness. The message ties prophetic timing to Sabbaths and Jubilees (Israel’s failure to give the land rest; the Church at the 120th Jubilee), to the fall festivals (trumpets/Rosh Hashanah as the day of gathering), and to the covenant with David (explaining a period of “desolation” with no earthly representative after the Two Witnesses, during which an angel proclaims the everlasting gospel from the sky; Rev 14). Revelation 10’s seven thunders are sealed, underscoring that God withholds some details so people won’t postpone repentance. Throughout, believers are urged to reject the accuser’s voice and believe God’s verdict of righteousness in Christ, to rest in His mercy each morning, and to be doers of the Word. The sermon closes with prayer, inviting hearers to belong to Jesus now—sealed for the day of redemption and spared from the coming wrath. Inspired Teaching - Written and/or Transcribed from Video Above: Praise God. Hallelujah. Thank you, Jesus. How many are glad you know Jesus? Amen. You know, one thing about Jesus, he's so full of mercy. Thank you, Jesus. Hallelujah. It says uh I think in Lamentation 3:23 or 22 that his mercies are new every morning. [Music] Sometimes I go to sleep and say, "Oh man, I'm glad this day is over. Then I wake up in the morning and praise God, it's a new beginning." I tell you, so glad to have a a God that has put the past behind his back as far as the east is from the west and we can come to him every morning, brand new day. I got a brand new opportunity to start every morning when I wake up. Every single one of us does. No matter how bad it got yesterday or how bad it got today, we're as close to heaven as our knees are to the floor. Hallelujah. Our knees hit the floor and immediately he's there. Father in heaven, in Jesus name, we thank you for this opportunity to come together as a family tonight and to worship you, Father God. For you are King of Kings and Lord of Lords. You have given Jesus a name that is above every name. That at the name of Jesus, every knee shall bow. Of things in heaven above, on the earth beneath or in the waters below. We thank you that we have the spirit of uh adoption, that we have been sealed with the spirit of promise, Father God, and that we're waiting for the redemption of our bodies to take place. But meanwhile, we have been commissioned to proclaim the gospel to every creature. Wherever the there's breath, wherever there's air, let us proclaim that precious gospel, Father God, from all the ways to Thailand, all the way to South America, all the way to the north and to the south and to the east and to the west. Let this gospel of the kingdom be proclaimed, Father God. and let the anointing of the Holy Spirit back it up, Father God, so that people will know that Jesus is King of Kings and Lord of Lords, that he loves them and that they will repent and come to him. Bless uh tonight, Fred and Tony Harour and Vision for Women Ministries and the family that worships and fellowships here, Father God. And as we get together now to partake of your bread, the word of life, we ask, Father God, like Fred said, that you would bind any hindrances, any spirit that will somehow keep us from hearing. We pray that you bind it. And we ask by the spirit of grace that you grant us ears to hear that you open our hearts to understand and that you anoint now the words by the god that the spirit that the holy spirit will bring forth that we may be able to learn from them and be fed and nourished and transformed that we may be doers of the word and not just hearers only in Jesus name we love you lord. Amen. Praise God. But as you notice, I got you a couple of uh pages that are note and always when I start, I start try to give a rundown to keep things into context because you have to understand that the book of Revelation is where everything is completed. So here you have 65 books of the Bible. Okay? and everything that's been written on those 65 books of the Bible has to find a fulfillment in that 22 chapters that we have in in the book of revelation. So uh my faith when I began to understand the book of revelation was just so tremendously uplifted because I know that the Bible was written in the span of 1500 years from the first time that Moses wrote uh uh and Job was written like 1500 years before Christ to the gospels and that big span of time and so many different writers and to have all of uh come together so precisely in in the book that proclaims to be the end of God. My faith just shut up because you know we face our our our um what we believe is being challenged every day. You listen to music, your faith is being challenged. You watch TV, your faith is being challenged. You know, uh you speak in tongues, they think you're crazy. You know, you believe the word of God. We believe that actually the earth was created 6,000 years ago. A man, you're stupid. You're radical. You're all these things. So, we are being challenged. And you know, all I simply do is when I see some uh dumb dumb uh talking head on TV saying, "How could you know this be like that?" I said, "Well, you know what? I'm I'm old. I'm I was born in 47. I challenge any of those guys to take their books that they had in school in the 1950s and get the theories that they were teaching over there and look at the books that they have now and they totally change. Everything they said back then was proven wrong. They have some new theories now. And I can take my Bible and tell them, guess what? It hasn't changed. It hasn't changed. And the more and the more that they study and dig into it, the more they're finding out. You know, God said that when he made man, he took dirt out of the ground. Lo and behold, they come to find out that we're dirt. All of the chemicals that form our body are found in the dirt. You know, you just mix it with 80% 90% water and guess what? You have a body. So, this is what's so exciting about the book of Revelation. So I I try I'm trying to get you to to so that at least you can see it coming together if for anything more than to establish your faith. Because if I can believe that everything that Moses wrote is coming, you know, 2500 years ago is coming to pass right now. I know that Moses saw ahead of time what was coming, was able to write about it. Then I can trust what he says. You know, they make a big thing about this Nostradamus guy, some guy that lived 500 years ago because he makes certain prophecies and riddles and stuff like that. John in Revelation says that a mark of the beast that every single person in the world will have to receive a mark and that without that mark you can buy or sell. This would never ever make sense until the computer age came into being. And yet you never hear them talking about that. Why? Because if if that is right, then Jesus coming soon is right as well. They don't want to hear that part. So they will tell you right talking about Nostradamus, some uh uh uh uh I don't know what he was into, but it had to do a lot with divination. Let's put it this way. Some guy that pe into the darkness and saw a few things. I'd rather get the guy that went up to heaven and saw the one that was sitting in heaven and saw the lamb of God and got it directly from the God and said, "Write this." And told him, "Don't write this." So that's why I'm trying to to kind of give you a sense of what is going. Now the two pages are like a review because last week we got into the first half of what is called the tribulation period or the wrath of God. And I want to show you how that comes about because a lot of times we that teach in in in things of revelation take it for granted that everybody else knows. So when we say the 70th week of Daniel or the seven last years, a lot of people that are new to Christianity or have never studied uh prophecy may not know it. So in your dispensational charge, innocence, and I know I put paradise on there, I corrected on mine, but innocence was where the first dispensation. Adam and Eve were innocent and they were in paradise. And that was the beginning of time. There was no evolution. Men didn't come from a soupy thing or whatever. God just simply made an earth and then he took the dirt of the earth. He blew his breath into it. The spirit of God enter into a a a physical thing and the body became a human soul. Conscience is when Adam became self-aware. It's very important that we understand this because when Adam became self-aware, their faith was challenged. Their faith was challenged because a third party, in this case the snake or the serpent or the devil comes in and say, "Don't you guys know that you're naked? You know, here you think you're looking real cool and then somebody comes in all of a sudden tells you, you know, hey, you know, your hair or you're messed up or whatever, then all of a sudden you man, all your confidence just crumble." So they were told that they were naked. And of course, what God intended was that men would say, "Yeah, I am naked." But God says I am good. And as long as God says I'm good, I'm good. I don't care what you say. God says the standard, not the devil. And believe it or not, that's the circumstance we're in now. God says we're the righteousness of God of Christ Jesus. And yet I can guarantee that every single day the devil talks to each every one of us and say you're nothing but a lousy loser or this or that or the other. And we have to make a choice. And that choice is do I believe God or do I believe the devil? Thank God for a man like Joshua who said as for me in my house we will serve the Lord. We want to believe what the word of God says. And because of that I can stand up every morning. I don't care how messed up I messed up. I can get up every morning and said God says I'm good and as long as I hear you say otherwise Jesus I'm going to believe you and not going to believe the rest of it. So he became self-aware. And so because of that, now this period of time, innocent, nobody knows how long innocent lasted. When Adam and Eve were created and were in the garden and name all of the animals and everything, there's no time reference on that because this is a time that they spent with God. So time really began when uh men became self-aware. As men became self-aware, their conscience, the Bible says by the time we get to Noah in in Revelation, I mean in Genesis chapter 6, that men's conscience were so polluted that men's thoughts were constantly evil all the time. In other words, the consciences of men were seared up so bad that h God had to destroy everything that had the breath of life in it. this happened. And and this is important that you see this this calendar because I'm not counting by our years that we count here. I want you to see it from God's calendar from the beginning of time from from the time that Adam was created. And you can add it up. I added it up and a bunch of people added it up. We all come up with the same thing. 1,656 years. 1,656 years after Adam was created, God destroyed the world. He brought a worldwide flood that covered the entire earth and everything that had the breath of life was destroyed except for Adam, his wife, I mean Noah, his wife, his three sons, and their wives. Eight people were on the ark. This happened on the year 1,656 from the time that Adam was created. Now, we know that it'll only rain for a day, for 40 days and 49. They were actually on the ark about a year. So the from the time that they were drifting until they landed and all of that, they were in the ark a year. So they came out of the ark in the year 1,657. At that time, God had to reestablish the covenant. Remember, God is the God of covenant. Every dispensation that God makes has laws. For Adam and Eve in conscience, their law was you can eat of anything you want to. You can do whatever you want to. You can do cartwheels. live, serve, whatever you want to do, you do it. Just stay away from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. That was the only law that applied to them and it only applied to those two people. Uh over here in the in in in conscience, what applied was uh the word of God versus the word of Satan because that's the heritage that Adam and Eve gave to their children. They partake of the tree of the knowledge of the good and evil. So they um passed to us this conscience that we're battling all the time, good and evil, having to go with good and evil. We know that Enoch, who was the seventh from Adam, was a preacher of righteousness. We know that Noah also was a preacher of righteousness. So they had the word of God preached in those days but it got so bad that the people's consciences were seared and so God judge conscience. He says men's conscience from now on cannot be trusted. This is why the Bible says that your mind is at war with God. For us believer Paul makes this point in Romans chapter uh through many of the chapters chapter 7 chapter 8 he says our mind is enmity with God. It's at war with God. So you say, "How can we be saved?" The mind of Christ. When you get born again, the spirit of God comes into you. And now you have the mind of Christ. You're able to reason by virtue of the word of God. I can say, "I am what God says." And I can tell Satan, "Shut up." When he tells me I'm not. They may still be a battle, but I have peace. And I have peace with God. As a matter of fact, I had a dream last night. It was so weird. I'm not going to tell you the the four dreams that, but in one, I was in a plane. And it was weird. There was like one of those old planes where you're sitting with your back to the uh the side and there were people sitting on the front and uh there was a group of of men in the plane I think and I don't know we're going to a mission or whatever but it was had to do with church and as I'm going the plane is banking to land and we're just having a good time and then all of a sudden something happened the plane something went wrong with the plane and it flipped and as it flipped started going head first into the ground. I mean, this is a such a vivid dream. I mean, it's just so incredible. And as I'm going, I know this is it. And I just raise up my hands and began to worship the Lord and thank him. And I'm saying, man, I'm going to see you in just like I I know the plane was just about to crash, but I was just getting excited. I'm going to see Jesus. Then all of a sudden, he was able to level the plane and they landed. I said, "Man, I can't believe that." And I said to myself, uh, how could I even dream that being so sure that I was going to die? But even in my dream, I was so sure I was about to see Jesus. Why? Because that's the mind of Christ. See, the old mind, the doubting mind, that mind has been superimposed by the word of God and by me trusting and believing what the word of God said. So it has become part of me. Hallelujah. That even and and I believe that if that were to happen, that's exactly how we react. Why? because that's that's what is in my spirit. So then conscience was judged. Innocence was judged. Men can never go back to innocent. Conscience was judged at the end of 1,656 years. And then the human government started on the year 1,657. Noah came out. He took two of every paris except for the clean animals. The clean animals that could be offered a sacrifice. He took seven. So what does Noah does? He brings a clean animal is offer he offers a sacrifice to God. God smells the sweet offering of the sacrifice and he enter into a covenant with Noah. So now we have what is called the dispensation of human government. Human government started in the year 1,657 from the time that Adam was created and has never ended yet. This is why we have government because the the government of man is still here. If you remember, God said to Noah, have your children spread all over the earth and cover the whole earth. A guy rises up whose name is Nimrod, who was the son of Kush. Kush. Kush means confusion. He's pretty confused guy. He raises up his own. He goes into rebellion and they say, "We don't want to be scattered and nobody will know who we are. We want to make a name for ourselves. So he builds up a tower. This tower has the physical and spiritual meaning. The spiritual meaning is they're opening the the gates to self which is what the tree of knowledge of good and evil is. Self made self manmade knowledge it to worship that and he allows a whole bunch of demons in. Now God did not judge them. Horses with chariots of fire didn't come from heaven and judge these people that rebelled. No, God confused their language and forced them to scatter because you go to a group and they don't understand, you don't understand them. You get frustrated. So, you go to another. Finally, you find somebody you can talk to and that's who you go with. And this is where the people that went to Africa and the people that went to Asia and Europe and the people that came to America, they all scatter because that's what God has told them to do with. But God has not deal with that yet. So here we have a dispensation of manmade governments that Jesus is going to judge. Why is he going to judge? Because he's king of king and lord of lord. All government has to answer to him. Okay. Why is this important? Because the judgment of what the bible calls in revelation the kingdoms of this world are now the kingdoms of our lord is going to happen during this seven-year period. So I want you to see this. Now Jesus said one of the spiritual principles that Jesus taught is that the first shall be last and the last shall be first. Meaning this is the first dispensation that hasn't been judged yet will be judged last. When is the kingdoms of this world going to be judged? They are going to be judged in the second half of the wrath of God. The first half is 1,260 days. You have five days in between. And the second half is 1,290 days, which by the way is 7 years. 2555 days. At the end of 2555 days, the seven years exactly, God is going to begin the judgment of the kingdoms of this world. At that time, the head of the kingdoms of the world is going to be the antichrist. And he's going to mount an army with huge amounts of men to try to fight the Lord when he's coming. The Bible tells us, and when we get to this part of it, we'll see it, that this judgment of God is going to take place in 42 days. Daniel 12:11 tells you this, for uh 1,290 days. And they said, "Blessed is he who waits for and makes it to the 1,335 days." That means after the 2,290 days, God has 45 days. 42 days, that's seven time six. That means seven Sabbaths or seven weeks with beginning of a Sabbath and the end of the Sabbath, God is going to judge the kingdoms of this world. So before God can judge the kingdoms of this world, he has to bring the kingdoms of this world together. That's what we're experiencing today in our generation. For the first time since the days of Nimro when everybody spoke the same language, men from every nation on the world, I think there's 180 some nations in the world now. they can go into the United Nations and whoever the head of state is or whoever the representative is can go ahead and speak and every other member that's over there with their earphones on can hear everything that person is saying because the United Nations has an army of interpreters of every language that there is more than that we're living in a time to where you can have a body on the internet in China he doesn't know a thing of English and you don't don't know anything or Chinese, your computer can translate for you and you can type whatever you want to. It's translated to Chinese. He can send it back to you. And that is going on today. We're living in the day to when God is bringing the the kingdoms of this world into a time. That's why it's so important to see that. Then since man could not save himself in innocence and in conscience and in government, God introduced the promise. God took uh this guy named Abraham. Abraham was born and I have added the numbers and everything is locked up in in my garage so I couldn't have access so I'm going by memory which thank God is still pretty good. Abraham was born somewhere in 1990 1995. So I round it off to the year 2000. Abraham was born and and you'll see it at the bottom. I put it for you so you can have a graphic in your mind of the uh Bible timeline. Abraham was born around the year 2000 when he was about 70 years old. That's why I put there 2007 and these are approximate time except for the 1656. That was a set time. You can actually count the years from Adam to the time that the flood took place. But God calls his men named Abraham out of where Iraq is today. He calls him out into where Israel is today. And God enters into a covenant with this man. the covenant with of promise. Now the promise of God are eternal. The Bible says that the word of God is forever settled in heaven. I think Psalm 119 uh the word of God is forever settle in heaven. So when God gives you a promise is eternal because God is not bound by time. He's saying yesterday, today and forever. So if he promised you something today, it's just as good forever. So when God introduced the promise to Abraham, it was a two-fold promise. He says, "Out of your seed, I'm going to bring sand of the seashore." That's a physical promise. And as numerous as the stars in the sky, that is a key for a spiritual promise. So out of Abraham comes law and grace. Now the promise of God in the covenant was given about the year 2017. Now you read Paul in Romans and he says that we are joint hes with Abraham. We're part when he's discussing Israel and I think it's Romans 9:101 11 that area there he's discussing Israel and the church he says we're part of it because the promise was given to the man of faith Abraham. See when the woman that wasn't a Jew had a child that was demonp possessed and brings it to Jesus. Jesus says I can't heal him. God call me to the house of Israel first. So the woman says, "Yeah, but even the dogs get to eat the crumbs that fall out of the the table that the children the the bread the children's bread that falls out of the table." See, what she did is she bypassed Moses the law and she reached all the way to Abraham. Abraham is a man of faith. So when she says, "Yeah, I know that that you're coming to fulfill the law and that you're giving the bread to the children of Israel, but according to Abraham, I'm an heir, too, and I can partake of that bread." And Jesus said, "Your faith got you what you wanted." See, faith elevates above law or grace. Why? Because faith comes through Abraham, the man of faith, the friend of God. That's the covenant. That's the covenant that God honors. Even Noah, I mean, even Noah and Adam, when they went into paradise, they were under Abraham. Abraham is the one that was in charge of paradise. Why? Because paradise was a holding place until the true blood was shed. And who's the one that believe that? Abraham. And how did he believe that? He took three animals. He took two birds. He cut them on half. And he kept the verse of pray. And when evening came, God came like a torch and it passed through it. Back in the days of of of of Bible days, you enter into a covenant with a person. You took an animal. You cut the animal in half. You split the parts. It was a bloody mess in the middle. You would hold the hand of the person you were entering into a covenant with. And you walk through the blood and you say, "May the same thing happened to me if I don't keep my word." And your shoes got all bloody. That was a testimony. You have entered into a covenant. Well, Abraham didn't walk in there. This covenant was God who made it. He's the one that walked between the pieces. And he says, and and you know, did you know that the the the animals each represent a dispensation of time? There were three animals, uh, a goat, uh, a bull, and a ram. And they were cut in half. One, two, three, four, five, six. Each one of them represented the six years. Then you have a bird on each side, a fleshling bird and a dog. And the bird, remember, the kingdom is represented as an eagle. So that tells you the the first bird indicated the beginning of man in the spirit and the ending of man after the rapture he goes into the kingdom. So God was making a covenant for the whole 7,000 years when he enter into that. So we're part of the covenant that God made with Abraham. Now out of Abraham came the law. The law came first. And so the law came through Moses about 430 years after Abraham the year 2070. You add 430 years to 2070 and you come to about the year 2500. Like I said these are are all approximate numbers about 2500. This is 1500 years before Jesus Christ because remember now they count the time backwards. That's why it's easier for me to count it forward. From the time that Adam was created to the time that God entered into a covenant with Moses or revealed the law to Moses was two 2500 years. Now in the law God said to Moses tell the Israelites to purify themselves because in three days I'm going to come and show myself to them. They all purify themselves. God actually descends. This is not in physical body in his glory. He comes God covered himself in darkness like a huge dark cloud. This cloud came in and rested on Mount Si. Mount Sinai is in Saudi Arabia and to this burn up. The whole top is burned up. The Saudi Arabians know what happened there. So they have a big fence. There's many Christians try to sneak in there. They go to jail and everything because that's that is the place where God descended. See when they cross the Red Sea, they cross it from that big channel where where um Saudi Arabia is the Gulf of Aquabad. I I don't remember what they call that part there, but I mean this is no junky little thing. This thing is a huge place and they have a video to where their share wheels and everything down there. They came up with with a more they went back and and redid it again and got more pictures. I just got advertisement on it. So anyway, God comes into the mountain is thundering and shaking so bad. Moses says, "My knees are trembling." And the people say to Moses, "You know what? We can't handle this, God. We're going to go away. You talk to God and whatever God tells you, we'll do." And so that's how the covenant of the law came. Now, the covenant of law started in the year 2500. And the covenant law has not been judged yet. So the jud the law will be judged in the middle of the tribulation or in the day of of atonement. We'll get to that in a minute. So here remember we're talking about the last seven years. The last seven years 2555 days. That's seven years. At the end of the 200 2555 days, the kingdoms of this world are going to be judged. Then Jesus Christ is going to come and set up this kingdom of a thousand years. In the middle of it, after the 1,260 days, the first half, the law is going to be judged. We talked about this last week when we said that first for the first five months, the first war, which is the sixth trumpet, uh God releases all of the demons that are in hell into the earth. And people are tormented for five months. Five whole month they cannot die. Nobody can die at that time. But so that humans will know that hell is real. God does that. Then at the end of the five months, God releases the four angels that are bound to the river Euphrates. And they will kill onethird of all of the humans that are at that time. And this is fulfilled at the end of the 1,260th day. That's when the two witnesses are killed. That is a day of atonement for the Jews. So that means that law is going to be judged in the middle of this dispensation. Now the other thing that got introduced was grace. Grace begins with the word of God. The promise when the promise the word of God became flesh in the wood of in the womb of the woman. He was born. He lived fulfilled the law. He died our sacrificial death which is the Passover as the lamb of God. Remember when John saw him, John says, "Behold the lamb of God that takes the sin of the world." The sin of the world was represented by the feast of unleaven bread. And uh the Jews follow a lunar calendar and their year begins in March uh or April depending on their calendar. This is why Passover is different all the time. the 14th day of the first Jewish month which is a full moon because the 28 day cycle the full is moon the moon is full at the 14th day on the 14th day you're to celebrate the Passover in the evening it says as evening begins on the 15th day you are to celebrate the feast of unleaven bread and then on the Sunday after the next the first day of the week after the Sabbath you are supposed to celebrate the feast of first fruit. This is in Leviticus 23 if you want reference. So here we see that in grace, the dispensation of grace, the sixth dispensation, God fulfills all of this. Jesus is the word that became flesh in the seat of the woman, fulfilled the law, died the sacrificial death on the day of Passover as the lamb of God. That evening when they put his body before the sunset, remember the the the rich guy, Joseph, the rich guy came in and said, "We don't want to leave the bodies there." Pilate gave him permission. They took the body of Jesus, stopped it in the tomb before the sun said. That is when uh the feast of unleaven bread began. Jesus is the broken the body the bread that was broken for us to take away sin. This is what communion mean. The broken body when you take it takes away your sin away. He took away the sin of the world at that time by becoming our leaven bread. Then on the third day which will be uh Saturday night as Sunday begins in the evening. He rose up. He's the first born from the dead, the first fruit, the first human that is complete like God intended. He is totally physical yet totally spiritual because the spirit of God lives in him. That means he can walk through walls. He can take this physical body and disassemble every atom and walk through there because if you know air fills most of everything. You know they discover now you can magnify to the tiniest tiniest tin. Everything no matter how hard it is has air in between. Things are just hold together. Atoms are held together by some kind of a glue or whatever. And so Jesus can actually deotize his body and walk through walls. He can think I'm going I want to be in the moon and he can be there. You in the spirit you travel at the speed of thought. So this is what Jesus did. He rose up and and became our first fruit. Then he comes up shows himself to his disciples after appearing in the room where everything locked and says here fill me. A a ghost doesn't have a body like I have. You can feel it. And then he says, "Now you go preach the gospel to of the kingdom to the whole world, but first go to Jerusalem and wait until you're do endued with power." So 50 days later, 50 is 7* 7 which is 49. And then the 50th is the jubilee. The Holy Spirit comes and it falls upon the church. Now, we taught that when the sixth seal takes place, there's earthquakes and there's all kinds of things. That is the fulfillment of the second part of the promise that Peter read on the day of Pentecost when the church was filled with power because he said, "Your men and your sons and your daughters, they will prophesy. They will see vision. They will dream dreams." And all of that was fulfilled on the day of Pentecost. But he keeps quoting Joel and he says, "And there will be h a clouds and billows of smoke and there will be signs on the earth on the heaven above and on the earth beneath and all of the things going to happen when before the great day of the Lord and everyone who calls upon the name of the Lord shall be saved." So we can see now that Pentecost is the key pin that ties the first fruits or the first lot the the former reign as the Bible calls the first coming of Jesus to the latter reign the second coming of Jesus. So when the trumpet blows after the sixth seal is open and we can see in in in in Revelation chapter 7, people from every tribe and from every kindred and from every in there that is the fulfillment of the promise of God on when on the day of the blowing of trumpets or in the new year. See, because the Jews don't celebrate New Year's on the first day of their year, which is March or April. God says you work for six months, the seventh month, the first day of the seventh month. That is your new year. Why? Because that's when you enter into your rest. That is when you enter into your rest. So the Jews blow the trumpet, the chauffeur, on the first day of the seventh month. Guess what? The sixth chapter, the sixth seal, the 6,000 year, six, six, everything is six there. So, it takes you to the day of rest. So, the church then is rapture first. That's why Jesus says, "The first shall be last and the last shall be first." So, when the church is taken away, the seven years begin in the middle of the seven years, God is in and the age of and the age of grace concludes at the time. By the way, the age of grace will last 2,000 years because, as you can see, grace came in uh about 4,000 years after the creation of Adam. It it began Jesus was born on the on the on the beginning or on the end of the 4,000 years, the beginning of the fifth. And if you look at Genesis, that's when the physical sun was created. If you look at it in the creation, it says that there was light. Before the sun was created, there was light on the first day. There was light on the second day. There was light on the third day and the sun was created on the fourth day. This is why many people say, "Oh, the Bible, t Previous Next Home

LET YOUR HANDS BE STRONG The objective of this teaching is to encourage believers to strengthen their faith and hold firmly to the Word of God as revealed through prophecy. Drawing from Zechariah 8, the lesson emphasizes the importance of recognizing God’s promises for the future, understanding the prophetic scriptures concerning the millennial reign and end-time events, and preparing now by choosing salvation in Christ. The teaching aims to equip listeners with both hope for God’s future plan and urgency to live faithfully in the present age of grace. LET YOUR HANDS BE STRONG Minister Lisa Kane April 11, 2025 Objective: The objective of this teaching is to encourage believers to strengthen their faith and hold firmly to the Word of God as revealed through prophecy. Drawing from Zechariah 8, the lesson emphasizes the importance of recognizing God’s promises for the future, understanding the prophetic scriptures concerning the millennial reign and end-time events, and preparing now by choosing salvation in Christ. The teaching aims to equip listeners with both hope for God’s future plan and urgency to live faithfully in the present age of grace. Synopsis: Let Your Hands Be Strong is a prophetic teaching based on Zechariah chapter 8, where God calls His people to fasten their strength to His Word and promises. The message unfolds the prophetic vision of Jerusalem’s future restoration during the millennial reign, a time when peace, longevity, and righteousness will flourish under God’s rule. It highlights the difference between today’s age of grace, where salvation is freely offered through Christ, and the coming seven-year period of God’s wrath, known as the Great Tribulation. The teaching explains that Zechariah’s prophecy points to events that have not yet been fulfilled—such as Jerusalem being called the “city of truth” and children safely playing in its streets—revealing the hope of God’s future blessing after times of judgment. It warns that unbelievers who live through the tribulation will face severe trials, while those who now accept salvation in Christ will be spared. The lesson underscores God’s righteousness as Judge, His promise to Israel’s remnant, and His ultimate victory over Satan. Ultimately, the teaching challenges believers to let their hands be strong—seizing God’s Word with faith, proclaiming salvation boldly, and standing firm in preparation for Christ’s return. It is both a call to study prophecy with spiritual discernment and an urgent reminder that today is the day of salvation. Inspired Teaching - Written and/or Transcribed from Video Above: Hello and welcome to the House of Faith Ministries. I'm Lisa Kaine and I'm recording this teaching on Friday, April 11, 20125. 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 that it does not return void. Thank you for your prophetic word, Father God. Give us wisdom, knowledge, and understanding in understanding your prophecy. For you are the spirit of prophecy. and we come before you, Father God, and humble ourselves to hear your word and to know that your word is a part of our lives and let it manifest through our mouths. Let us hold on to it with strength and let us walk in the authority of your word. In the glorious name of Jesus, we pray. Thank you, Father God. Amen. Amen. Amen. Glad you can join me. This this teaching is going to be called Let Your Hands Be Strong. And we're going to be focusing here in Zechariah chapter 8. So our opening scripture here is thus saith or God appoints and calls. Thus sayith the Lord of hosts, let your hands or your power be strong or fastened upon seas ye that you hear like what you hear intelligently in these days these words by the mouth of the prophets which were in the day that the foundation of the house of the Lord of hosts was laid that the the temple might be built. So, Zechariah is one of the minor prophets in this um he prophesies about uh the end times. He is talking about latter days here. So, I am not God. I do not fully understand prophecy, but there's some very interesting things in this chapter that I do want to get across to you. Uh but I do believe based on my current understanding of end time prophecy here in the now um that this is actually futuristic prophecy because it hasn't happened yet uh of what Jerusalem will be like uh or the um the millennium reign, the 10,00ear millennium reign. I think this chapter is focusing on that time and we're going to get to that scripture and we're going to see it. So let's start at verse one again. And the word of the Lord of hosts came to me, saying, Thus sayeth the Lord of hosts, I was jealous or envious for Zion with great jealousy, and I was jealous for her with great fury. Thus sayith the Lord, I am returned unto Zion. And Zion is what's called a permanent capital. And of course, it becomes a name uh unto Zion, and will dwell or lodge or reside there in the midst of Jerusalem. Jerusalem is a founded peaceful city is the name of Jerusalem. And Jerusalem shall be called a city of truth and the mountain of the Lord of hosts, the holy mountain. As of right now, Jerusalem is not called the city of truth. So this is futuristic prophecy that we are talking about that has not happened yet. We are in the age of the church or grace, grace, dispensation of grace. This is where we the church teach on salvation. But we were given revelation of the future of prophecy of what's coming so that we can teach the unbeliever. You don't want to go through that. It's bad. When you know during that seven-year time period of God's wrath or the great tribulation, whatever you want to call it, I I believe it's called God's wrath in the scripture, but some people do refer to it as the great tribulation. You don't want to be living in that time frame. Let me just simply say that when the day of the Lord comes and the day of the Lord comes when the sixth seal is open. When that day happens, that's day one of this seven-year time period. Okay? If you're alive on that day and you are not a believer in Christ, then you are appointed to go through that seven year. Now, by the time you get to that end of that seven year, it says that man will be finer than over gold. Oh, wow. So most people will die by the end of that seven-year time period. The whole world is going to change drastically physically, mentally, spiritually. It's going to be a different world. And by the time that end of that seven-year time period comes, whoever the survivors are, they're going to repopulate the earth. My guess is going to be Israel. Israel and their offspring and whomever else happens to survive that time period. They're going to repopulate the earth for a thousand years. So during that time, the devil will be bound up. I if you take a look at prophecy like this, God is making a case against the devil. He's a lawyer, if you will. Now, he was the judge who appointed all the rules and regulations. So now he's testing. He's seeing what is the issue. Where is the problem? And the problem is sin. And as he gathers all of his data throughout the centuries, that's going to be used in the case to judge the devil permanently where he will end up in the lake of fire. And yeah, I I read at the end of the book of Revelation and we win. If you're on God's side, we win. And the devil will be permanently in the lake of fire. But for this thousand years, he's going to be locked up and then re-released to see is it really him that's doing this issue is causing people to sin. And you will find that even the people during this time that Zechariah is talking about that I believe is talking about when um he the people at that time they're going to be deceived again. So here they're going to know our history. They're going to see everything that has happened. They're going to be told the stories and at the end of that thousand years, devil's going to be re-released. And guess what? People are going to fall for him again and be deceived. Again, though, this is so that God can accumulate the data that he needs to judge because he's a righteous judge. He will not judge haphazardly. He doesn't do it out of emotion. He doesn't do it biasly. He does it righteously and faithfully because that's who our God is that we serve. Amen. Okay. Continuing on. Uh verse four. Thus sayith the Lord of hosts, there shall yet old men and old women dwell in the streets of Jerusalem and every man with his staff in his hand for very age. See very age. This is also people will live long again during this thousand year. My guess is all the people. It will be a rare thing for let's say a hundred year old dies. They will be that will be considered so rare and young. He will be he or she will be considered young if they die like that during that time period. I I don't know what the world is going to be like during that thousand years. I don't need to know it because I I'm not going to live through this. And if you know I'm working on a study right now about end time prophecy. So, we the church will not be here for that seven-year time period. Think of it like this, just for an analogy off the top of my head. When the two witnesses come down and they're casting out fire and plagues against people and killing people with it because they're judging those people who are attacking them at that moment, ask yourself this. Where's the church? Bible doesn't tell you. I'm going to tell you right now, if I saw those two witnesses there and I recognized it from the word of God, oh, you better believe I'm going to be on a plane and I'm going be there by their side because they're on God's side and I'm going to be on God's side and I'm going to follow that. But since the scripture doesn't say that the church will do that, it means the church will be gone during this time. So right now what you see is this prophecy is telling you that the old men and the old women are going to be in the streets of Jerusalem and they're going to be at they're going to be holding their staff for they're going to be very age and the streets of the city shall be full of boys and girls playing in the streets thereof. Right now that's not the case. So this is definitely all futuristic prophecy that has not come to pass yet. Now, does this mean it has to come to pass before the seven-year time period? No. Like I said, I'm thinking that this is part of that thousand-year millennium reign. Again, I'm not God. I could be wrong. I'm just based on the facts that I see uh in the scripture and what I know thus far. That's what I'm calling it to be. You do your homework, do your research, and let the Holy Spirit speak to you. I hope to motivate you to get involved with end time prophecy. Amen. Verse six, thus sayeth the Lord of hosts, if it be marvelous or distinguish in the eyes of the remnant. See, and here, okay, remnant. Let me finish reading the scripture. Rem remainder residual of this people in these days, should it also be marvelous in mine eyes? You see, it is going to be crazy that old men and old women with their staffs and the boys and girls running around on the streets of Jerusalem. Why? Because if you look at Jerusalem today, the there's so much anti-semitism out here. It's incredible. People just do not like the Jews. It's a spiritual thing. It does go back to Charles Darwin though and classifying them as animals and that cultures read that and believed it and believed in evolution. It's been cultivated in the cultures. So all these people who have been taught by parents, grandparents, great-grandparents for throughout the generations of their lives consider them dogs, animals, and that they're not human. And so they justify, hey, if you got to go kill a dog or a horse, you can go kill an Israeli. That's what they justify this to be. So to see old men and women and children playing, it's a very distinctive thing. And we know we know that that hasn't happened yet. So here we're looking at a particular prophecy that hasn't happened yet. And it's incredible. It's an incredible read. And remember what foresight is when you're looking at pro prophetic scripture. You don't know how everything you don't even know how that can be. I mean other than the fact that during the millennium range reign that the devil is locked up which means nobody is being influenced by demonic spirits telling you to hate, hurt, betray. No, this thousand years is going to be a peaceful time until Satan is released again. So this is a marvelous thing that's going to be done and people are going to see it. Let's continue on. Verse seven, thus sayeth the Lord of hosts, behold, I will save my people from the east country and from the west country. I don't know who those countries are. I just know that at the end of that seven-year time period and Armageddon tries to come and attack, they are saved by God. Jesus himself is going to come down on a white horse and his his pants are going to say faithful and true. And there's another name on there that we don't know. But he knows that's him coming down and he doesn't even have to do anything. He speaks a word to defeat those that are coming after. That's key here. So, as we look at this future prophecy, look at how Jesus handled Armageddon and how they came to attack Israel. Now, let's continue on. And I will bring them and they shall dwell in the midst of Jerusalem and they shall be my people and I will be their God in truth and in righteousness. So, here's something interesting. Let's look at that again. says, "And I will bring them and they shall dwell in the midst of Jerusalem." We know that there is a new Jerusalem coming. But this is even before the new Jerusalem. See, the new Jerusalem is going to come after. See, Jesus prophesied the heaven and earth shall pass away, but not his word. So, until that happens, you've got this city of Jerusalem that's still going to be residing. And so he is saying the people are going to be in Jerusalem coming and serving him. Uh they're going to be in the midst of Jerusalem. They're going to be my people. And it's a remnant. Remember in the previous scripture, it's a remnant. So these are the survivors of that time period. I remember in that seven-year time period, right after um I think it's in uh Revelation 7 or 8, you will see that the angel of the Lord will put a mark on the 144,000 male boys or Jewish men who have not been defiled by a woman and it'll be 12,000 of each tribe. So, it's 144,000 and then the two witnesses are going to come down. They're going to be sealed and they're going to be protected during this time. Somehow someway at the end of all of that, there will be survivors and they will repopulate the earth. And here they're going to be in Jerusalem in the city of Jerusalem hanging out together in the midst. Again, it's a marvelous thing. This is things that we cannot see or understand today. And the world is going to be completely different because there going to be some great earthquakes that are going to happen. And we know that the economy breaks right in right after the abomination of desolation. You've got Babylon falls. That's the entire economic situation of the world. That's all going to collapse. So this whole thousand years is a world we do not know or recognize. And this prophecy is saying it's marvelous. So why teach this? And I'm I'm going to read more of Zechariah. We're going to get more into this end times. But I want you to know and understand that you do not you may not be one of the survivors in that seven-year time period. We don't know as teachers today of future prophecy. We don't know how you get saved during that seven-year time period. It says something like about beheading, but we're not 100% certain. We know that there's seven thunders that are going to speak, but God told John, "Don't write down what they say." Why? Because God doesn't want people to know that you can get saved through this other method at that time. If that is true, we don't know that. We don't know that. That's what they say. So, the church preaches today to get saved. Now, don't wait. Don't wait. You don't want to go through that time. Yes, it will be beautiful afterwards, but God is going to pour out his wrath. And I'm going to tell you right now, every unbelieving person, and that's Israel included, because he's only going to seal 144,000. Every unbelieving person during that time is going to suffer God's wrath. Oh, you don't want to go through that. In fact, the first five months and you can go read the scriptures, nobody can die because people are going to try to kill themselves thinking they can get out of it, face them on the other side. Guess what? Death is going to go on a vacation. What's going to happen to you at that that time? It's going to be crazy. Seriously crazy. Let's continue on with the prophecy. Verse nine. This is our opening scripture. Thus saith the Lord of hosts. So he's appointing a call. He's calling. He's pointing us. Says, "Let your hands, your power be strong, fast and upon seas. What you hear intelligently in these days, these words, by the mouth of the prophets, which were in the day that the foundation of the house of the Lord of hosts was laid, that the temple might be built." So they're talking about when the prophets wrote this, which is when the second uh temple was going to be laid. And and when they built that temple after the destruction of the first temple and they came back to it, it was there were people still alive who saw the first temple and when they saw the second temple, they just wept wept bitterly because it was nothing like the first temple. So look at this is what's key. This is what this message is all about. Says, "Let your power fasten on what you hear." You see, you we have to be hearing what the prophets are talking about because you and I are the church and we have to teach that we do not want people to go through God's wrath. Now is the time to get saved. Now is the time of grace. Now is the time to call upon the name of the Lord and be saved. Romans 10:13, anyone whosoever calls upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. That's you. That's me. All of us have the opportunity to be saved. Now, it's not true during that seven-year time period. And it's going to get worse in that time period when the abomination of desolation happens, which is this is all about Israel. The seven-year time period is about Israel and the unbelievers when the um this is the time by the way that evil you have the beast, you have the prophet uh the and Satan himself are the ones that are going to be in control of this time period and they're going to be misleading and deceiving Israel. So that first three and a half years in this sevenyear time period of peace. That first three and a half years is all about deception to Israel. They think, "Oh, we've got our f they think the Messiah came for the first time, but it's a deception." So they're starting to do their daily sacrifices again. And then in right in the middle, 3 and 1/2 years in the seven-year cycle, this demonic being tells Israel, stop the daily sacrifices. He sits on the throne because the temple will be built. So, he will sit on that temple and he's going to say, "Worship me." And that's when Jesus says in Matthew 24, "Run. You need to run. Don't even go back and get your things. Just run. And that's when all of a sudden, Israel is going to recognize we've been worshiping the wrong person, the wrong God. This is not our Messiah. And they're going to run. And that last three and a half years, you think that first half was bad. That last p last half is the worst. This is where the rest of the remaining human people on the face of the earth, a good chunk of them are going to die in that time period. And it's because of God pouring out his entire wrath on these people and what he allows to take place. This has to happen because of sin. because of what started off as perfect when creation was created. Now you have this and this is um this is coming. This is why we the church need to be teaching on salvation. Now is the time to get saved. It's most important to teach about salvation than anything else. Get saved. So be um apologetically aware of the word of God. You need to know your scripture. You need to be able to defend defeat. The people who are under a strong delusion right now have all kinds of weird questions. You need to be in prayer. You need to be fasting in prayer. This is the time where you need to set aside what yourself wants and put God first so you can save lives. That's what's most important and critical here and now. Amen. Verse 10. For before these days there was no hire for man. Look at that. payment of contract. See, now at the days of the prophets, because that's where we're at. You're seeing that there's nothing's been paid for. Jesus hadn't paid the price yet. Catch this. This is very important. For man, nor any hire for beast, neither was there any peace to him that went out or came in because of the affliction. For I set all men against everyone against his neighbor. You see, we do not trust people. And it is very challenging to trust people's trust trust our family members, our neighbors. Man, we have a hard time trusting. And this is because the Lord set this sign, this time of affliction. We're in what's called a narrow or tight place. We don't have peace, which is safety, happiness, health, and prosperity. These are the things that are fully not there. However, if you're a believer in Christ, you have his hedge of protection around you. But this is the time when this prophet wrote this and he's talking about that remnant. They didn't have that at that time. But he's prophesying it's going to be coming. But he's saying there was no payment. And see now there's payment. Says, "But now I will not be into the resid residue or the remainder of this people as in the former days, say the Lord." So, he's going to treat you differently in that thousand year than he does uh prior to that. See, uh Israel went into captivity at the time of Babylon and then they were out for 70 years or they were in captivity for 70 years. Daniel figured it out. The vision of the seven years comes to Daniel in that time period. And then we know the Persians and the Greeks and we know that Rome comes in and we know that there are these futuristic um events that are coming. The day of the Lord, the abomination of desolation, the seven-year time period, the millennial range reign, and then judgment day. We know these things are coming. So he says, I'm going to treat you differently. This is why I'm talking about the millennium uh millennium rain. Reign. Boy, that's a tough one to say. The thousand year reign says for the seed through prosperity prosperity shall be prosper safe happy prosperity peace the vine shall give her fruit and the ground shall give her increase and the heavens shall give their due and I will cause the remnant of this people to possess all these things the remnant of this people these are the ones who are going to survive and look they're going to have peace and prosperity they're going to be treated differently. They're going to have this time. God is going to give them give them this time and period to have this health, peace, prosperity. Let's continue on. Verse 13. It shall come to pass that as you were a curse among the heathen. Right now they're a curse. People are cursing them left and right. anti-semitisms big time says, "Oh house of Judah and house of Israel, so will I save you and ye shall be a blessing uh which is prosperity benediction. Fear not, but let your hands be strong." There it is again. Your power fasten or seize upon these words. We need to know the word of God. We need to let our hands, which is our strength, our power, grab hold and seize the word of God and understand it and not let go. Not let go. This is a time where we need to be giving precedence to the word of God. It should be a priority in our lives. We should be holding on to it. We should be praying it into others. We should be declaring it because the prophet back in that day, Zechariah, which is who we're reading today, is prophesying, you got to hold on to these things because this is what's going to get you through. I promise you. See, this is a promise from God. I'm going to bless Jerusalem. I'm going to bless you with peace and prosperity. But it is coming after the last seven years. They owe God in punishment. They were assigned 490 years. Daniel, you go read Daniel and they got seven years left. But this is to close out vision and prophecy to bring an end to sin, an end to transgression. Go read Daniel 9:24. Do a little homework and read that because I'm limited on time. I can't bring all this in into a 30-minute teaching. But know that God is going to bring them peace when all that time is done and passed. For thus sayaith the Lord of hosts, as I thought to punish you when your fathers provoked me to wrath. Now he is talking about them being in the wilderness, sayeth the Lord of hosts, and I repented. He he did a strong breath and he had pity on them. And he so he didn't he says I repented not, but you know he wanted to do this. He decided not to. This is why he did what he's doing now. He backed off at that point. Decided, let's let me do it this way. It's like a turning point, if you will, in the history of Israel. So again, have I thought in these days to do well unto Jerusalem and to the house of Judah, fear ye not. He's telling you, don't be afraid, Israel. I'm going to bless you. I'm going to take care of you. I've got your back. I'm your God and I'm going to be there with you. Hang in there. And then in verse 16, these are the things that ye shall do. You're going to speak ye every man the truth to his neighbor. You're going to execute the judgment or verdict of truth and peace in your gates. You see now when you talk about that time they're going to be walking in truth. They're going to be walking in the word of God and they're going to be executing judgment verdict at their gates which is their opening of their city. And let none of you fabricate or imagine evil in your hearts against his neighbor. and love no false oath that no curses, no uh sworn curses for all these things that I hate, sayeth the Lord. So the Lord is saying this is going to be different. I don't want you doing what you did before. I want you to speak truth and execute judgment verdict. This is what you're going to do in that thousand years. We know that the martyrs are going to be serving at that time with their new bodies, ruling and reigning over that thousand years. So you have that with Israel speaking truth and executing verdicts and judgment. That's what's going to be going on during this time. As to the details of that, I don't know. It's not revealed to us. But I know that God says, "Hang in there. Do not have any fear. I will take care of you. I am going to bless you. You are going to be a blessing. You read the rest of that chapter, you're going to find out that people are going to be coming to the Jews and grabbing on to them and saying, "I want to go to worship God with you." That will be the other people that will survive. See, there's going to be two groups of people that are going to survive the end of the seven years. You got Israel and you have whoever didn't take the mark. Which did they actually call Jesus the son of God? I don't know if that's how they get saved or not, but they will be a part of this thousand year reign. This is God's promise to Israel. This is his promise to those of us who will make it into that time frame or those of them that will make it into their that time frame. You and I that believe here and now, we're going up either in the rapture or absent from the body, present with the Lord. Either way, whatever death, I'm already dead to this world as it is. Doesn't matter at this point. My eternity already began because I choose to believe that Jesus Christ is the son of God. And I am encouraging you to say it. Say it out loud. First John 4, chapter uh chapter 4:1 tells you to test the spirits. And if the spirit can't say, which is a person talking through a spirit, can't say Jesus is the son of God, well, guess what? that they're not a believer in Christ. That's how you will know. And you will also know them by their fruit. What are they producing in fruit? God is making a distinguished difference here. I hope that you're blessed by this prophetic message. It is a foresight of scripture that I don't ordinarily stop to teach on, but I did this time because I wanted you to see that if you hold on to the scripture, which is the spoken word, you hear it. Don't let go. And make sure that you tell family and friends. They may shun you. They may hate you. You know, give them to the Lord and pray over them. But let them know that salvation is now. Now is the time to receive the grace that Jesus gave us through dying on the cross and paying the ultimate price. Amen. Let's close in a word of prayer. Father God, we thank you for your word and we bless your word. You are amazing, glorious, faithful, and true. And thank you for the evidence of what's coming so that we know and can be prepared for it and that we can share with others. You don't want to live during that time. So thank you, Father God, for helping us stand strong in your word, to have the courage and the faith to share your word and to share what Jesus did on the Christ, your salvation. In the name of Jesus, we pray. Amen. Amen. God bless you. I will see you in the next message. Bye-bye. Previous Next Home

BAPTIZED INTO JESUS' DEATH - RISEN TO LIFE The objective of this teaching is to help believers understand the spiritual reality of water baptism as described in Romans 6. Baptism is more than an outward declaration of faith; it is a participation in Christ’s death and resurrection. Through this knowledge, believers are equipped to overcome sin, walk in newness of life, and live as overcomers in the righteousness of Christ. BAPTIZED INTO JESUS' DEATH - RISEN TO LIFE Minister Lisa Kane May 25, 2025 Objective: The objective of this teaching is to help believers understand the spiritual reality of water baptism as described in Romans 6. Baptism is more than an outward declaration of faith; it is a participation in Christ’s death and resurrection. Through this knowledge, believers are equipped to overcome sin, walk in newness of life, and live as overcomers in the righteousness of Christ. Synopsis: This teaching explores the profound meaning of water baptism through Romans 6. Paul’s message makes clear that believers are not merely symbolically washed, but spiritually united with Christ in His death, burial, and resurrection. Going under the water signifies dying to sin, while rising out of it represents new life in Christ. The lesson emphasizes that this truth provides both knowledge and power: knowledge that sin has no dominion over the believer, and power to choose righteousness over sin. By grasping this reality, Christians can resist temptation, walk in freedom, and bear fruit that reflects their new identity in Christ. Through scriptural teaching and practical insights, the message highlights baptism as the moment of transformation—death to the old self and resurrection into life with Christ. The believer’s journey from bondage to freedom is a gift of grace, empowering them to live boldly, free from fear, and filled with the hope of eternal life in Jesus. Inspired Teaching - Written and/or Transcribed from Video Above: Hello and welcome to the House of Faith Ministries. I'm Lisa Kane. I'm recording this teaching on Sunday, May 25th, 2025. Welcome. Let's open up in a word of prayer. Father God, we thank you for your word and we bless your word that it does not return void. I also pray for all the listeners who are hearing your word that this word ministers to them deep within their spirit and that they hold on to your word and realize that they're more than conqueror that they're overcomers and that they are strong in you. Thank you Lord in the name of Jesus. Amen. Amen. Amen. Welcome. I'm glad you can join me. The teaching today is called baptized into Jesus death risen to life. Let's go to our opening scripture here in Romans 6:3. Know ye not that so many of us were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death? Well, now isn't that an interesting question? Don't you know that you were baptized into his death, which is being made wet fully and completely? It's what water baptism is. Water baptism, a lot of churches say that it proclaims you're acknowledging Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior to all of the witnesses around. Not just those physically attending, but those spiritually attending. And there is a truth to that. There is more than that though with water baptism. Remember when Jesus was waterbaptized and the Holy Spirit landed on him in the form of a dove, he went immediately into the wilderness and dealt with the devil. So he goes into spiritual warfare immediately after water baptism. But it's interesting that Paul is making the claim here in Romans that you are baptized into his death. So let's take a look at Romans 6 uh more complete. I want to go through this because I want you to realize that this is to help you mentally overcome the things that you are facing. And uh this is really really good. You're going to like this teaching. So let's start with verse one. So we're going to be in Romans 6 and we're going to start with verse uh one here. What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound? So Paul is coming out and he's saying, "Okay, we got grace. This is awesome. So should we keep sinning so that grace keeps working?" And then he answers his question in verse two. Says, "God forbid." Wait a second. Wait a second. But we want grace to keep going forward and we want grace to stand strengthened in us. Yes. But not through sin. And that's what Paul is pointing out here. So verse two, God forbid, how shall we that are dead to sin live any longer therein? That's it's a very interesting question. When we became a believer, we and we became waterbaptized. Now, water baptism and being a believer are two separate things. Remember the man on the cross, the thief on the cross, he had protected Jesus while he was up there. And Jesus he he said Jesus when you enter your kingdom remember me. And Jesus promised him you will be with me in paradise today. So he didn't get off the cross and get water baptized. He wasn't water bapti or even baptized by the Holy Spirit. He didn't go knocking door to door winning souls. In fact he never had that opportunity to do any of that. He died on the cross just like Jesus. But he ended up in paradise and I like to say by the skin of his teeth or by the hair on his chinny chin chin because he barely made it but he was saved. So water baptism takes us a little deeper. This is now dealing with and I've taught on water baptism in belief letting the seed take hold, germinating the seed and coming out of that. Now we're going to look at what water baptism does in the spirit. how it keeps us from sin. Because see now, you know, you have a lot of people who question like, "Yeah, I'm a believer, but I still sin. I still mess up." Well, this chapter deals with that to help you overcome that. So, let's continue on here and look at that. It says, uh, let's read verse two again. God forbid, how shall we that are dead to sin live any longer in sin? Basically, how how can we? You died the moment you became water baptized. You went under the water. You got fully wet. This isn't a sprinkling. This is a fully wetness. And you come out of it. You died with Jesus on that cross. You're no longer that sinner. And I call you that sinner. Not by your name. I call you by that sinner. Yes, we're born. We have a name. We have a personality. We have a book that God has written about us. I've taught on that before. And so what happens next is that person died immediately when he or she went under the water. I died when I was water baptized. I was water baptized at the age of nine and I went under and I came up alive in Christ which means I should not go back into sin. However, I have gone back into sin. But the Lord has changed me in these last few years in a remarkable way that that I keep pursuing more and more. I try to get closer and closer to God because I really want to overcome this and be done with sin. Amen. Isn't that something a worthy goal to have? Look at this in verse three. He says, "Know ye not that so many of us were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into our his death." That's our opening scripture. We were baptized into his death. So, as Jesus was baptized, three years later, he died on the cross. But then three days later, he rose to life. And I love that. Three years and three days. You see, the moment you die, you've got your ministry ahead of you. Whether that's three years, 10 years, 33 years, 55 years, 88 years, it doesn't matter. That ministry is before you. But the moment you die, Paul says we're absent from the body, present with the Lord. See, when Jesus went down to the grave for three days, he went down there to deal with hell. He went down there to deal with those in paradise. And when he came out, they came with him. And on his way to heaven, he stopped to talk to Mary Magdalene. What did he tell? She said, "Don't touch me yet. I haven't ascended." He says, "I go to my God, your God, my father, your father." You see, there's revelation in that. Jesus, the creator of this world, he's the the power, the spoken word. He entered his own creation as a man. Now when we create things, we cannot enter it. But he did. So when he went through death and he died, he came up out of that grave alive with a body that we're to get. He did everything that we're expected to do. He went through it himself. and he went through it horribly because God turned his back on him when he was right there on the cross when all that sin was on him because he wasn't used to that. That was probably more painful than the physical pain he was suffering on that cross that moment. So now that we see that we're baptized because remember Jesus also said that we would do greater things than him. How? Well, that's overcoming sin. See, we died and and the knowledge here. See, here's the key. If you can get the knowledge and the fact that you're dead, sin can't touch you. Let's continue on and read more of chapter 6 verse4. Therefore, we are buried or assimilated spiritually with him by baptism into death. That like as Christ was raised, he was waken up from the dead by the glory of the father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. So we come up. He again ministered for 30 or for three more years. He lived to be 33. They approximate that. But here's the thing is now we walk in life, not death. Death has no dominion over us. You're going to see that as he gets to it here in just a moment. Verse five. For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall also be in the likeness of his resurrection. Now, this goes back to my other teaching where the if you remember the parable of the sewer, he's sewing seeds on good soil, hard soil, rocks, thistles, they're all all over the place. See, not every plant germinates in easy condition. Some require special condition to germinate or get saved for them to receive that seed to grow and manifest in us. It takes special condition. But for most of us, we hear the word of God when that seed is planted. And see, remember, Adam was made from earth. So the word of God is a seed that gets planted in the dirt that we were. And what happens is when you get water baptized and you come up, you just water the seed and it should begin to germinate. Especially as you continue to receive the water which is the word of God, living waters just keep coming over. You keep reading it and you get hit the sun, the son of God, not just the su but the s o n. As you get that seed is germinating and it's planting, the sun is causing it to grow and mature. That's our three years of ministry, 10 years, 88 years, whatever it may be. We are in that ministry and the Lord continues to work through us. So now we have a knowledge. We can understand that we died with him when we were water baptized. That's knowledge. But there's also we came out of that water. Let's look at this further as we go together. We're planted together in the likeness of him and in the likeness of his resurrection. Same thing. We are resurrected into a new creation. See Jesus, same spirit, but he is a new creation because he has a body now where he didn't have a body before this all started. Now he's in a physical body who sits next to his father, a spirit, the divine holiness of God, the father himself. And so Jesus is now part of us, which is where we come in as a bride. So we die with him when we're water baptized and we are resurrected to life. Let's continue on in verse six. knowing this. See, this is where we get the knowledge and this is what the knowledge does. Every time you are tempted or you think of sin or there's something there that you know it's going to take you away from the Lord or you're struggling with something, remember the knowledge of being waterbaptized and to death and rising from that water into life. Knowing this, this is knowledge, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin. It's very interesting where Paul goes with this because now he's talking about servantthood. And you're going to see that the second half of chapter 6 is all about who you serve, which means you take that knowledge and you make a choice. Are you going to serve righteousness or are you going to serve sin? Who do you choose to be a slave to? Righteousness or sin? It's a choice. Now, spiritually, you're dead. You went under the water. You died. Spiritually, you rose from that grave just like Jesus. and you're alive in him. So now when you have that knowledge, you can say, I'm going to choose to serve righteousness because I have the right to it because Jesus has forgiven me. He redeemed me by what he did on the cross through his blood. He poured out his blood and he paid that price and we were resurrected from that with him. We're resurrected with him. So now verse seven, for he that is dead is freed from sin. You died. Sin no longer has a hold of you. And when you get that mentally and you sit here and it becomes a revelation because you like all of a sudden like wait a second, I I'm I'm not bound to sin. I don't have to serve that. You know, when I became aware of the medical system and I was diagnosed with a type two diabetes and all that kind of stuff, when I became aware of that's not how God made me to live. I'm not here to live in bondage of some medical condition. He made this earth for me to live on healthy and free. And it became a knowledge, a knowing. And when I got it, I got rid of all those drugs and I'm in better health now today than I ever have been. And that's because I chose to walk in the righteousness. I chose to believe that I was freed from all that. It's a choice. You can choose to believe you're still a part of sin or you can choose to believe that you've been freed from sin. Paul is talking about this in Romans 6. Let's go to verse seven now. I mean verse eight. Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him. There's that word belief. We believe. So now we're talking about how do you believe? Do you believe you're saved? And do you know a lot of Christians struggle with that? Let me give let me let you in on a little secret here. If you're struggling with that, it means you're consciously aware of an attack against your mind, but you don't know what to believe. You're still believing the liar, the devil, who's telling you, "You messed up bad." Well, let me tell you something. Jesus says, "I will forgive anything and anyone of anything." That is the freedom we have. And you get to choose to believe that freedom because if you believe you're free from sin, you will walk sin free. You will walk liberated. You will walk in the life that Christ has called you to live by. What a blessing. What a powerful revelation that we can have in our minds simply because we choose to believe. Which by the way, choosing to believe is a step of faith. You're activating faith in God, which is how he operates. He wants to operate through faith. So, you have to take a leap of faith and say, "All right, Jesus, you said I'm freed from sin. I don't know how you can say that, but I'm going to choose to believe that." And you plant the seed and the spirit begins to change things in your mind. Changes the way you think. You know, when I got off that type two diabetes, all the drugs, the insulin, I was in all I was in all those pills plus other things. It took about eight weeks. It's a process, but I kept saying, "No, I'm gonna choose to believe in you, God." And it was like it broke through. And I was like, "Thank you, Jesus. I don't want to live in bondage to that." And you don't have to live in bondage to that either. You're free from sin because you died when you were waterbaptized and came up. Now all of us who become believers ought to get water baptized if we could because that's going to let us walk liberated. It is going to let us walk liberated but at the same time also be prepared and aware of spiritual aspects we have to deal with every day. We are in spiritual warfare every day. You wonder why some days you feel like you want to do the anything. You like you can just overcome the world and there are other days that you're so down you're just like you could barely barely even pray. That's because you're dealing with spiritual warfare. There are things that are attacking you. And these are those things where you finally again with the knowledge of your mind and your spoken word. Remember what Romans 10:9 says that if you confess with your mouth Jesus is Lord. The moment you say Jesus is Lord, and you believe that God raised him from the dead, you're saved, delivered, healed, not just for salvation of eternity, but liberated to walk in freedom while on this earth before we get our heavenly bodies. We can walk liberated. That's so powerful. I hope you guys are getting this. Verse nine, knowing here's that knowing again to know. Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead die dieth no more. Death has no death hath no dominion over him. We death has no dominion over us because we died with him. And the moment we died with him, we're done with death. Hebrews 9:27 says that every man is appointed to die once. Well, guess what? That's where my death was. So, either I'm just going to instantly change. twinkling of an eye in the rapture or I'm gonna be doing whatever or asleep and I'm gonna instantly change. I'm not going to experience any more death because I've already died to my flesh. I've already died to this world and death has no dominion over me. My eternity has already begun. Simply put, I'm going to come out of the flesh. this flesh is just going to come right off of me and my spirit is going to enter into the presence of the Lord. That's how it works for believers in Christ. This is what Christianity is. And it's about the relationship factor where you finally get to know the truth of what the word is telling us. The word is telling us, I don't have to live to death. I don't have to live by death's rules. I'm not obligated to that to that law. I walk supernaturally in the spirit above and beyond death. I have no fear of it. I don't need to have fear. I wasn't given a spirit of fear. Do you know how many times it says do not fear in the Bible? Like over 365 times. And that's just that one phrase. That's not counting all the other phrases of don't be afraid or anything like that and all the different version of Bibles out there. I'm going to tell you right now, we are freed from death. And we don't have to live by those rules. See, we're we're Christlike. And if Jesus can walk on the water and break the rules of how water operates, you know, water is liquid and water, you're supposed to sink into it. Well, Jesus said, "I'm the creator and I'm going to break that rule and make it solid." And so, he walked on water. And every time somebody had a need or somebody had an issue, whether their faith healed them or whether he healed them, either way, he broke the rules because he was already he had already died and he had already risen. He was just in ministry during that time and then he went to the cross and that was so that he can pay that price for us to be able to do the same thing that he does. So here we have the opportunity and the privilege to be above and beyond that. Do we deserve it? No. But this is where the knowledge comes in. I believe Jesus healed me and I believe he saved me and I believe I'm I'm righteous because of his covering over me and I get to have the right to stand in that and the right to claim it. That's my privilege. This is a blessing that the Lord has given us and we ought to be walking in that. For in that he died, he died unto sin once, but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God. Now notice he doesn't say live once because see you live out your life here in the physical but then you live out your eternity in his presence. You're actually living twice. Once in the physical flesh and once in the spiritual flesh and they overlap. And that's where we're at. For those of us that get the knowledge of this, we're in that overlapping field where we're still stuck with our flesh, but we are living our spirit life already. And we're living unto God. Because again, we have that knowledge and we choose to put him first. Seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness. All these things will be added unto you. That's Matthew 6:33. These are the promises that we have that have been given to us where we can manifest that and live and surprise people. People are going to look going, "How can you do that?" Well, guess what? So verse 11 like it like likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord. This is very very powerful. You see the moment sin tries to do something or take over or you know try to act try to take dominion that's when you say no no no no nope I dead to sin. I died to sin. It it has no pull on me. It has no longing. It has no um it has no dominion over me at all. It is gone. Can look at it and say, you know what? Bye-bye. And that's what you do. So here now we have the opportunity to say well I choose to live unto God and I choose to walk in his knowledge that he has given me which means I'm liberated and I don't have to live or feel like I'm going back into sin or doing sin again because I'm free. I'm already dead to that. And the moment you get that knowledge and you start speaking that word over your body, over your mind, you're prophesying over yourself, I'm not going to live in sin anymore because I choose to live unto life. Your life radically changes spiritually and physically. And I am I I guarantee that. That is a promise of God that he has given to each and every one of us. And I have experienced it at least a little bit. I don't know where your faith is and I don't know what everybody else's faith. Some faith is just really small like a pinhole. But others faith, some people see a bigger picture. I don't see that whole big picture. I just saw a part that I know I get to live free. And as soon as I got that, my life changed and I wish I could apply it to everything else. So I keep saying it over and over again because I know my God and I know what he's doing in my life. That transformation is at work. Amen. Verse 12. Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body that ye should obey it in the l lust or the longings thereof. You see, we don't have to obey it. It may tempt us. But I promise you, the moment you say, "Nope, I choose life and I choose living for God." That sin has to run away. It has to flee. It has to go away. Verse 13, neither yield your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin. I love this. Unrighteousness is legal injustice. You see what happens? A lot of us, especially as believers in Christ, we may not blatantly go out and sin. Um, you know, take drugs or, you know, do something like a murder or anything like that. But I will tell you what we do is we speak words. And the issue is we might be cursing instead of blessing. And if you're doing that, that's where your sin is. And that's when you say, "Nope, I'm not going to speak those words over so and so. I choose God. I choose righteousness. And Lord, I'm going to bless him and I bless me because I don't want that curse on them. And I don't want that curse on me because I'm not bound by sin anymore. I'm liberated." Hallelujah. But yield yourselves unto God as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God. You see, here's the thing is you're a walking miracle. You are a walking miracle because you know you have the knowledge of what God has done for you and you claimed it. You spoke it. You attributed it to you. You prophesied it over yourself with your spoken word and you said sin is no longer part of my life. I am liberated. And by the way, the word sin there means offense. So you're not offending. You should be offending people actually uh with your walk with the Lord. It should be offending a whole bunch of people because they don't like the fact that you're healed. You know, I I've got family members that I know that are um still dealing with type 2 diabetes, stuff like this, and I'm sure they're questioning in the back of their mind, how is it she could be free from it, but he or she can't? Well, let me let you in on a little secret. I chose God and to walk in his knowledge. And guess what? You can do the same. It took me two months to finally get liberated from it, but you do see the light at the end of the tunnel and you do get free from it because it does not have dominion over you. Hallelujah. Verse 14, for sin shall not have dominion over you, for ye are not under the law, but under grace. We have the grace factor. Jesus forgave us. And it's hard to understand because we want it. There's a desire there to want to work and prove to God that we can do it. Here's the thing. Every time we try to do it our own way, we're going to fail every single time. And this is when we finally say, "You know what, Lord? I give up. I'm just going to have to trust in your grace, in your freedom, and that's just what I'm going to have to do because I don't know what else to do here." And that's when God says, "I got you in the right place where I need you to be." And he starts working in you. He starts changing the way you think. And he starts pouring his word into you. And again, you're liberating you. The knowledge, it revitalizes you. It changes your whole perspective. Oh, this is so good. Let's go to verse 15. What then? Shall we sin? Which this sin means miss the mark because we are not under the law, but under grace. God forbid. No. So now we don't do we don't keep going and sinning. We have to make a conscious effort to stop it and say no more. And guess what? Sin has to flee. It all has to work. The devil has to run away. That's how this works. So know ye not that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey, whether of sin unto death or of obedience and to righteousness. So you have a choice. You can continue to live into sin and and what does it say? Sin unto death or you can be obedient unto righteousness. Actionable items on your shoulders. You choose. You decide which direction you want to go. Then verse 17, but God be thanked that ye are the servants of sin, but you have obeyed the heart that for that form of doctrine which was delivered to you. Once you believe, and here comes that word believe. The word believe means to have faith. You believe that God has raised you up. You came out of that water. You are a new creation, a new creation, a new creature. You are transformed. And you are no longer obedient to sin. You're obedient unto righteousness by your spoken word. And as you stand on that, believe because you are free. Being then made free from sin, you became the servants of righteousness or justification. Now you're a servant to righteous. So everything you do is going to be under right standing. You're going to pray for somebody. Right standing. You're going to love your enemies. Right standing. These are the things that you've been blessed with because you chose knowing righteousness through God. You chose to walk in that and walk away from sin. You made a conscious choice spiritually. Everything took place when you were baptized and you came up. Spiritually, it's done. Now you get to stand in that freedom and you get to walk in the right stand. You are justified by faith because your faith made you whole because you believed. I speak after the manner of men because of the affirmity of your flesh, feebleness, weakness. For as ye have yielded your member servants to uncleanness and to iniquity, or illegality, unto iniquity, even so now yield your member servants to righteousness and to holiness. See, now you can submit yourself holy. You get to go in and spend time with Christ. No matter how much everyone's trying to distract you, turn your phone off, put it down, open up the Bible, and say, "Lord, I'm gonna spend time with you because this time is between you and me." And by the way, every time you do it every day, you get closer and closer to him. Oh, hallelujah. For we For when ye were the servants of sin, ye were free from righteousness. You couldn't do that if you were a sinner. You cannot go into righteousness. The law tells us we will fail every single time, but grace tells us we're already saved. Amen. Oh, hallelujah. What fruit have ye then in those things where ye are now ashamed? For the end of those things is death. You see, we don't have death over us anymore. There is no dominion of death. We are free. So, if you choose to walk in sin, you're going to be walking into death all over again when you have the right to be free from it as a believer in Christ. Verse 22. But now being made free from sin and become servants to God, you have your fruit unto holiness in the end of everlasting. Notice this fruit. Fruit has to mature. Fruit has to grow. Means it comes from a seed. You are buried in the water. It is now watered. You come up alive. It's germinating. It is alive. May not even see the leaves yet, but it's coming out. And before you know it, the leaves come out. The branch comes out. You're a new creation. And the fruit starts to appear, meaning you start demonstrating rightness with God. Oh, hallelujah. And that's the fruit. And people can come up to you and see that, know it, they will grab your fruit and take a a bite of it and know what is it that you do to do this because I want to live like that. Oh, that's how we sit. That's how we stand in his will, manifesting his will to the world. Hallelujah. And the last but most important verse in this chapter is for the wages of sin is death but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. It's a gift. This is all a free gift. We don't have to work at it. We just have to make a choice and choose righteousness. And that way you choose life and life more abundantly. Hallelujah. Let's close in a word of prayer. Father God, we thank you for your word. We bless your word that it manifests in us and it sticks with us and that we produce that fruit that you have given us, Father God. As every action we take, it'll be unto righteousness and justification that we choose no more sin, but we choose life and the gift of life in you. Thank you, Lord. In the name of Jesus, we pray. Amen. Amen. God bless you. I'll see you in the next teaching. Bye-bye. Previous Next Home

YOUR RESPONSIBILITY AS A LISTENER OF THE WORD OF GOD The objective of this teaching, Your Responsibility as a Listener of the Word of God, is to equip believers with the ability to discern, evaluate, and respond rightly to the Word of God as it is preached, taught, prayed, or prophesied. It emphasizes the responsibility of each listener to test teachings against Scripture, make godly choices, and walk in love, forgiveness, and truth, ensuring they are not deceived by false or non-biblical words. YOUR RESPONSIBILITY AS A LISTENER OF THE WORD OF GOD Minister Lisa Kane April 26, 2024 Objective: The objective of this teaching, Your Responsibility as a Listener of the Word of God, is to equip believers with the ability to discern, evaluate, and respond rightly to the Word of God as it is preached, taught, prayed, or prophesied. It emphasizes the responsibility of each listener to test teachings against Scripture, make godly choices, and walk in love, forgiveness, and truth, ensuring they are not deceived by false or non-biblical words. Synopsis: In this message, Lisa Kane highlights the believer’s responsibility when receiving the Word of God. Using 1 Corinthians 13:9 as a foundation, she explains that since we only “know in part,” we must be careful to measure every teaching and prophecy by the truth of Scripture. Listeners are urged to accept what aligns with the Bible and to reject anything false or misleading. Lisa shows from passages like Joshua 24:15 and Deuteronomy 30:19 that God has always given His people the power of choice—life or death, blessing or cursing. Likewise, when prayers or teachings contradict God’s Word, believers have the authority to reject them. Discernment, rooted in knowledge of the Word (Hebrews 4:12; 5:14), is key to avoiding deception. The message stresses that discernment must be exercised in the spirit of love, as described in 1 Corinthians 13, and never in condemnation. Since Jesus came not to condemn but to save (John 3:17), believers are called to walk in forgiveness and mercy, avoiding the role of the accuser which belongs to Satan (Revelation 12:10). Instead, they are to handle error with humility, prayer, and grace, leaving judgment in God’s hands. Finally, Lisa reminds listeners to continually seek God’s Spirit in the “secret place,” rely on His Word, and let their actions of love and forgiveness confirm their faith. True discernment flows from knowing Scripture, walking in love, and yielding to the Holy Spirit. The message closes with a call for believers to take responsibility for guarding their hearts and minds, choosing to serve the Lord faithfully, and allowing the Spirit of God to lead them in truth. Inspired Teaching - Written and/or Transcribed from Video Above: Hello and welcome to the House of Faith Ministries. I am Lisa Kaine and I'm recording this message on Friday, April 26, 2024. Welcome. This message is entitled Your Responsibility as a Listener of the Word of God. Yes, you have a responsibility. So, let's dive into that. Let's open up in our word of prayer first. Father God, we thank you for your word that your word does not return void. But we pray that your Holy Spirit is involved in this word and that it manifests within us, Father God, so that we live by your word, hear your word, learn your word appropriately, and know how to discern going forward from here, Lord. In the name of Jesus, we pray. Amen. Amen. All right. So, let's go to our opening scripture here. So, this is entitled, Your Responsibility as a Listener of the Word of God. That's kind of a long title, but that's what it is. 1 Corinthians 13:9, for we know in part and we prophesy in part. So, the goal of this teaching is to help you understand how to discern a very good teaching of the word of God. Maybe parts of it is good, but parts of it is non-biblical. You need to know whether you need to accept that word that is either taught or prayed over you or prophesied over you or you need to reject th those uh words because it could be non-biblical words and it could go against what you've been working with the Lord on. This impacts you big time in your life. And because of that, I want to teach you how to manage that here and in your heart so that the spirit of God moves through your life and you stand firm in the word and you are not set apart or um distracted or deceived from a false teaching. Think of it like this. If you're in a um an event somewhere, it's a biblical uh Bible event or you're in the church service, everyone's shouting amen and clapping their hands, but you're sitting there going there's red flags in your mind, their alarm bells are going off like, did I hear him correctly or her correctly? That's what you need to be able to do. You need to judge that person's teaching. And remember, I used to, if you go back to all of my early teachings, first thing I told you is don't take my word for it. Go dive into the word of God and do your homework. And I still talk about you having homework. But I haven't done this in a while. And then I thought, well, let's do a full teaching on this, okay? Because this is very, very important. Right here in our opening scripture in 1 Corinthians 13:9, Paul is saying, "For we know, we absolutely know in part a division or a share and then we prophesy in part." This is the chapter of love. 1 Corinthians 13 is the love chapter. So, he's going into some detail here. We're going to get into uh love here in just a moment because that's one of the factors that's going to help you discern uh a good teaching or biblical teaching versus a non-biblical teaching. kind of help you discern um what you need to do or what your actions are after the fact. Okay, so that's what we're going to do. So he says you know in part. Why do we only know in part? Because we're not God. If you are standing on something so strong, vehemently strong that so and so is wrong, you are in the wrong as well. Why? Because if you are Christlike and you are walking with Jesus, you're in the business of forgiveness. So whether your brother or sister is wrong, what you do is you go through Jesus and you follow his process. So we're going to get into that here in just a bit. I want you to see and understand that you have the right to accept a word or teaching and you have the right to reject a word or teaching. Because see, the Bible's all about choices. There's many scriptures that talk about choice. So, you have to choose whether you want to believe the words that were placed over you or not. That's very important. Let's say somebody prays something, but that prayer doesn't line up with the word of God. It feels good. It sounds good. You know, when I was growing up, I grew up in the church. And when I knew I had a calling of teaching on my life, I remember taking some of the things we used to quote and run around saying all the time. I went to go put it into one of my teachings and I could not find scripture on it. I couldn't even find conceptual uh scriptures to go with it. Context scriptures. I was like, "Wow, made me think twice." And I, by the way, I can't even remember any of those now. I've been doing this for so long. But what I do now is all of my teaching come from the word of God. I am not going to um I'm not going to vary off of that. I if I bring in outside sources, yes, but it is to reaffirm the word of God. That is what I do. I'm called to teach the word of God, not Lisa's teachings. I'm not God. In fact, everybody you hear is not a God. It's not God himself. Yes, the Holy Spirit moves through us, but the Holy Spirit, Jesus has already spoken all the words through the Bible. We need to stand firm by the Bible. So you have the right to choose. Now let's get a few scriptures of choice that you can choose to live by because these are choice scriptures. So I want you to understand the choice you have ahead of you. So go look at Joshua 24:15. And if it seem evil, this is Joshua speaking to the congregation of Israel when um right either right before they go uh past the Jordan and go into the promised land or right after. He's right there and he says, "And if it seem evil unto you to serve the Lord, choose." The word choose means to try, select, acceptable. Choose you this day whom ye will serve, whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwelt. But as for me in my house, we will serve the Lord. And if you follow that, Joshua is their leader. Israel ends up following them. They go and fight Jericho right after that. And as they marched around doing something that seems so weird. They end up having victory, but they all chose to follow God. Now, when you choose to follow God, you're going to find that God is going to have you do weird things. He's going to have he he wants to teach you how not to limit him. So he wants to solve things that you're praying for, asking for in ways that um you probably will never ever think of. So he wants that freedom to be able to move with you. So this is the choice. But you have to make a choice to get there first. Me and my house shall serve the Lord or me and my family shall serve the Lord. So Joshua starts with that. Let's go to Deuteronomy because God also gave the nation of Israel choice. He says,"I call on," and this is Deuteronomy 30:19, "I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing. Therefore, choose life that both thou and thy seed may live." Now, what's so fascinating about this is that you see if somebody prays over you a prayer that's going to end up in death, that's not what you want. You want choice. So, if you're hearing somebody praying over you, prophesying over you, you can stop them immediately. Say, "I don't accept that. That's not biblical. That's not scriptural. That's not what God has for me. He has life for me." You see the difference? There's something here. Now, look at what this means. Life is being alive, fresh. Uh that word fresh also means like freshly plants and watered plants. It's really alive and fresh. Death means to be in ruined. How many people are living in ruin? Because somebody spoke a curse over them and they believed it. I hope you're getting this. You don't have to believe that. You do not have to accept something that somebody says over you. I remember years ago getting my ears pierced. The lady spoke about my loaves. Oh, you're one of those. You're going to have a heart attack and you're I said, "No, I'm not. I reject that." Yeah. See, you have to protect yourself against these words that people speak that they don't even realize that they're speaking. We're going to talk about that more here in a moment. Blessing means to have the benediction or prosper prosperity. you can be blessed financially. There's a lot of teaching right now that they said the church just went too far. They're just only calling on blessings and prosperity. We know that the disciples and the apostles were uh martyed. We know that they went to their deaths that they did not have uh over an abundance of blessings. They had every need met. Yes, that is scriptural. But God wants to bless you. Look at Abraham. Abraham had so much. It was incredible. Lot and Abraham had to separate because of the blessings of God that was placed upon him. King David, King Solomon, the volume. God wants to bless you. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. Now, if you're going to take your life to be like an apostle or a disciple, then you're going to want your daily bread ma ma met, as the Lord's prayer says, and you're going to want to realize that the sacrifices you're making for the word of God is going to follow the path of a disciple or an apostle. But you might not be called to be an apostle. Maybe a disciple, but not an apostle. There are different callings, different teachings. That is for another teaching. But understand the Lord wants you prosperous. He truly does. And then of course cursing which is the vilification. You can curse somebody. We see it on the news all the time especially when you come to like um courtroom for Trump and whatever. All these people saying he deserve what that's a curse. You just cursed him. Aren't you a believer in Christ? And aren't you supposed to be forgiving one another? That's what Christ does. He didn't come to judge this world. We're going to get into that here in just a moment. I want you to see Proverbs 28:4 and5. This is the choices and the consequences of the choices you make. They that forsake, they chose, they let go, relinquish, loosened the law. Now remember, the law is what was first. Jesus fulfilled the law. Now we walk in forgiveness. So uh the author here is teaching us when you forsake God's law and you praise the wicked or the morally wrong but such as keep a hedge but he's telling you but instead keep hedge about protect your mind the law within your heart contend with him let's read this without the extra words remember when I teach here the bolded word is the original word in the King James version the words in parenthesis are other words that the word could be translated into. Okay. So, they that forook forsake the law praise the wicked. But such as keep the law, those that keep the law contend with them that are wicked. And that word contend means anger metal. In other words, if I choose to keep the law, I'm making them angry. Good. Maybe it'll shake them up, but you will have an enemy who will be angry with you and upset with you because you choose God first. They don't like that because it exposes them for the darkness that they're in. It exposes them for the choice that they made that they're happy and content with the choice that they made. Again, we're starting here with a choice. You have a choice. Do you want to choose to be morally wrong, evil, or would you like to choose to walk with God in goodness? Most people want to say, why choose goodness? They don't choose God. They'll choose goodness. But remember, God encompasses everything about that is good. Let's continue on. Verse five, evil men understand not judgment or the verdict. You see, when you choose evil, there is a consequence, a judgment, a verdict against you already. You are already condemned when you do not choose Jesus. As simple as that. Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life. No man comes to the father except through Jesus. The moment you do not choose Jesus and you reject him, you are already judged and verdictked. The verdict is in. You are not saved. You have to go to Jesus to get saved. That this is scriptural. This is a foundation. Says, "But they that seek or search out strive after the Lord understand all things." And that word understand means to separate mentally. You're cunning. You discern. You see, your mind has to be able to discern discern what's going on. The little little things that take place, that little line that can easily be crossed. You should have red flags, bells going off when you hear something that don't sound right to you because you made the choice to walk with God. You made a choice to walk in his law or in the name of Jesus, which is the time frame we're in right now. You choose to walk that way. And because of such, you have the ability to discern, understand what someone is teaching you. Now, you're better off understanding it once you know the word of God and you're in it. You have to do your homework here. If a preacher's preaching something, he's just reading scriptures here and there. You have to pause, think about it, take it home, read those scriptures, see if it's within context, see if it meets the measure of what the Lord is trying to teach you and then accept or reject. And sometimes we just get caught up in the feeling and the emotions behind a very good teaching pastor who builds us up. Oh, it sounds good. They all applaud. Yeah, he misspoke something. That's how the devil does it. He sneaks in like the little sneaky thing. Now, look what Jesus does there. So, this is uh something I want you to see that we can walk with that helps us. John 3:17, for God sent not his son into the world to condemn, distinguish, desise, judge the world, but that the world through him might be saved, delivered, protected. First, that is the rock and the foundation we stand upon. We stand upon the name of Jesus. And the name of Jesus came not to condemn. We already have an accuser who condemns. I'm going to show you that here in just a moment. Jesus didn't come to condemn. He didn't judge anyone. He doesn't judge anyone. He came that the world would be delivered, protected, saved. Look at what John 8:15 says. Ye judge after the flesh. I judge no man. The word judge is to distinguish, decide, condemn. Jesus says, "I judge no man." So a preacher gets up to you gets up there on the preaching stand, he preaches, she preaches, you're judging that preacher. So if you're Christlike and you're going to be like Christ and you're going to walk with Jesus, you judge no one. Okay? So what I want to show you is that as you judge it, because we've been given a gift to judge, we know how to measure something. The the whole point of that gift is not to condemn, but that they might be saved. So there's a tactful way to handle someone who makes a mistake. You made a mistake. All of us have fallen short of the glory of God. We have all made mistakes. None of us is perfect. None of us is God. Which means we need to be walking in forgiveness. Going to show this here a little bit more. But I want to show you about the word of God. Remember John 1:1. In the beginning was the word and the word was God and the word was with God. Okay. Now let's go to Hebrews 4:12. For the word of God is quick life and powerful. It's active. It's operative. It's sharper than any two edges or piercing. It reaches through even to the dividing of sunder of soul and spirit and of the joints and marrow and is a discerner, decisive, discriminative of the thoughts and intents of the heart. So now, if you're going to judge, you got to judge through the word of God because that is what's going to help you discern. Look what it says here, the thoughts and intents of the heart, your heart, and whoever you're listening to their heart. You need to be able to discern. Now, let's go to Hebrews. I want you to see something here. Hebrews 5:14. But strong meat belongth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised in discern, judicial estimation, disputation, both good, which is beautiful, valuable, virtuous, and evil, worthless, depraved, injurious. You see, we have been given the ability to discern and we need to use our discernment appropriately to accept or to reject what we're listening to. Not just listening to a preacher or a teacher or an evangelist or even if we're reading the Bible, we're listening to God. Sometimes what happens is we take it one way and God did not mean it that way. And we have to be able to discern because there's a way we have to say, "Hey Lord, I don't get this. How do I understand this? Show me the way." And you wait on the Lord and he will show you the way. This is how we understand things. This is how we discern things. Now, so we have basis number one. Know your word. Okay? Many of us don't know our word. Uh we die through the lack of knowledge. We're actually destroyed. That word destroyed uh means that we are made dumb and stupid. And that's true because we don't know the word of God. We don't know the blessings and the strengths that the Lord has placed upon us. We don't understand it because we're not doing it ourselves. And for those that do do it for ourselves, the problem we have is we get a little hottier and hotter and the Lord has to remind us to become humbled before him because we only know in part. We don't know the whole thing. We're not God. We're where we are weak. He is strong. So he brings out our weaknesses to expose his strength. This is how God operates. Now, so you need to know your word. That's the foundation number one. Foundation number two is you have to know the emotion behind the teaching you're receiving. Whether it's through a teacher or what you're learning about the word of God or anything else around you, look at the motivation, the emotional motivation, it needs to be done in love. 1 Corinthians 13:1, though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, men and of angels, meaning if you can speak in tongues and you have that gift, you speak to angels. Well, even if you can do that, almighty one, look at this. and have not charity or love. The word there is affection or benevolence. I am become a sounding brass or a tinkling symbol. I don't make sense anymore because I'm not doing it out of love. Now, why do I teach a message like this of this magnitude? One, I'm doing it because I love you and I want you to find the word of God and walk with the word of God in truth and not be deceived by this world. So, I'm coming through with love, gentleness, kindness. These are the things that I'm speaking the word of God through. You don't do that, it's you you're not you're clinging. You're you're not making sense. You're going to set off red flags and alarms in the people who are following the love of God. Look at verse uh 13 now in the same chapter. And now abide in faith which is your persuasion, your credence, hope, anticipate, expectation, charity, affection, benevolence. These three, but the greatest of these is charity. Your affection and benevolence needs to speak for yourself. You see, your actions are going to speak more than whatever words you speak. That means your body language needs to be showing the love of God. You need to be walking in the love of God. That means helping people. You've got to be there for them. Let me pray for you. Let me help you. Let me walk you through this. Let me show you where this is in scripture. You have to be able to want to do that. That is part of discerning. Okay? That is how we discern. So, we have to know our word. And when we don't, here's the thing. The Holy Spirit will show you. He will and and you will know it in your heart. But he's going to show you through a scripture. He wants you to understand it through him directly. For the record, God doesn't need any preachers or pastors or teachers. I mean, he's established his church, but the Holy Spirit could have fulfilled all those roles. Instead, he calls you and I to be in these positions so that we can teach through him for people who need to see and can only see the physical. They don't see the spiritual atmosphere. They can't understand it. It's beyond them. So, we have to be there for them. But we have to also remember we're not God and we fall and fail. Which means we don't want to lose our loved ones. These ones that we're trying to save and keep in the line of God. Amen. Look here in 1 Corinthians chapter 2 10-14. But God hath prevailed. He took off the cover them unto us by his spirit. For the spirit teacheth all things. Yeah. The deep things of God. The spirit's going to teach you. He's going to You're going to open up your Bible and you start reading, you're going to be like, "Wow, that's the answer for what I was facing and needed to hear." Lord, thank you. That's how it works through his spirit. For what man knoweth or is aware the things of a man, save the spirit of a man which is in him? Even so, the things of God knoweth no man, but the spirit of God. The spirit of God is what's going to do everything and move through everything. Not by us, not by strength, not by power, not by I call it down in the name of Jesus. It doesn't work like that. It's by the spirit of God. Amen. It's by the spirit of God. He is moving. Verse 12. Now we have received or we take we get hold of it. Not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God. You see, you want to hear that word of God. It's being given to you freely. I freely preach here, by the way. And what I do is I give this to you freely because this is what the Holy Spirit has shown me. I'm not perfect. I'm just going to have to just set aside and let that go in the name of Jesus. I have to ask the Lord's Holy Spirit to come and speak through me because it is done by spirit. Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth, comparing spiritual things or divine things with divi uh with spiritual. This is how we discern. So now verse 14, but the natural man receiveth not the things of the spirit of God, for they are foolishness. Remember what I talked about Jericho? The Lord had him march around the city six times, once each day for six days, and then seven times on the seventh day. And they shouted, and the walls came tumbling down. That's not usually how battle is done, but God chose to do it that way. Amen. for for they are foolishness or silliness, absurdity unto him. Neither can he know. Absolutely no. Or allow them because they are spiritually divinely discerned. You have to be able to discern, scrutinize, investigate, examine, judge. That's what discernment is all about. And to have that discernment, we're going to have to judge. But Jesus taught us that he does not judge or he does not condemn. So what does Jesus do? Let's go to Matthew 6:14-15. For if ye forgive, you send forth, you leave men their trespasses, a slid slip, offense, or sin, your heavenly father will also forgive you. But if you forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your father forgive your trespasses. That's not talking about eternity as walking in your daily life with God. You see, if you're going to judge, you've got to judge in forgiveness. Now what you do after that is you take it to the Lord and you say Lord what you do is you say Lord either I'm misunderstanding this and always always always take yourself to the Lord first you know it could be that you're misunderstanding something you don't know everything yet you only know in part so somebody teach you something that seems so radical way out here in left field you're going to be wondering well Lord what is this So he says, "I will show you." So you go to him and you say, "Lord, I judge this, but I see it and I don't think I have enough information to understand it. So I'm here pausing. What is it that I'm missing? What did I misunderstand?" Or, "Lord, are they false teaching? Is this a false teaching that's taking place?" Because I need to know if this is, then I don't want to accept it. And the Lord will reveal it to you through his word and through his spirit. Hallelujah. And remember, we are in the times of the Gentiles. This is the time of fullness of Gentiles, which means we walk in forgiveness. I'm going to show you something here. Look at Luke 21:24. And they shall fall by the edge of the sword and shall be led away captive into all nations, and Jerusalem shall be trotten down of the Gentiles until the times, that's an occasion or set or proper time of the Gentiles be fulfilled. This is the time we're in. as prophesied. By the way, the Gentiles are not filled yet. We're not done. We keep preaching Jesus and we need to continue to preach Jesus, which is forgiveness, salvation, the good news. He came and redeemed each and every one of us. So in Matthew 18, if you read the whole thing, it talks about do not de deceive or lead astray the little children. And then he said, Peter says towards the end of the chapter, well, how many times am I supposed to forgive seven times? Jesus says, I'll take it further. 70* 7. You can take that scripture one of two ways. You can take it as meaning well forever. You have to forgive them forever. That is true because we're not God. If you take it literal and you do 490 times, you would have to write down that one sin and see if that person committed it 490 times, are you going to be over that person's life that many times for that one sin? And now, by the way, that's just one sin. That's not counting all the sins we commit. You'd have to keep a book in record. The only one who can do that is God himself. This is why you and I who are not God have to humble ourselves and forgive our brothers. Forgive our sisters. Forgive. Walk in the mercy and the grace of what Jesus stands for because we are Christlike Christians in the name of Jesus. Walking in Christianity with Jesus through salvation. Oh hallelujah. And remember everything is done by the mouth. Romans 10:9 says that if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus and shall believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. You have to confess your forgiveness. You have to say it out loud because you have a cloud of witnesses watching around you. The devil is watching you. Angels are watching you. God is watching you. Use your mouth, which is the foundation of using the word of God. Speak forgiveness. Speak love. This is what we're supposed to call on. I'm not calling on a million dollars. I'm calling on the name of Jesus who is over my finances because he's above money and better than money. Hallelujah. Now, if we choose to accuse the person that we think did wrong, we have a couple of issues we have to be very careful of. One, they these people have an anointing on their lives. Now, David, King David, who murdered a man, God didn't remove him from his kingdom. God forgave him, but took his son that he had with Basheba that God took the son but David remained king. He was wrong. Should have been removed but he wasn't. So now what do you do? You do not take up the the accusers's position. We're not accusers. The devil is. Go to Revelation 12:9 and 10. And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent called the devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world. He was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him. And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, "Now is come salvation and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ. For the accuser against one in the assembly of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night." The devil's accusing everybody all the time before God day and night. Don't do his job for him because you identified an error or mistake or a sin. No. Matthew 18 tells you what to do. But first, first first take it to God. Pray about it. Let the Lord lead you. You know, I'm I have no right to judge or condemn you. I'm not God. I messed up myself. And because of that, we have to humble ourselves before the Lord and realize we're not the accusers. We have to walk in mercy and grace. Look at Galatians 3:26. For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. That's who you are. So what your job and your responsibility is is you have to know your word. So get into it and start studying if you're not already doing start memorizing it. Let it penetrate your soul. You have to walk in love in the charity that God has given us the benevolence and your actions of love. Your actions need to speak louder than your words. Let your actions speak for themselves. Get groceries for your neighbor. Help them get to church. Pray for people. Lay your hands on them so they stop being sick because that is what we're called to do. Forgive one another is another one. We need to humble ourselves and forgive. And another part of discernment. Zechariah 4:6. Then he answered and spake unto me, saying, "This is not the word of the or excuse me, this is the word of the Lord unto Zerubbabel, saying, not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, says the Lord of hosts." It is the spirit of God that is going to move and do everything. You have no right to accuse, so don't do it. You're not the accuser. You have the gift to judge. Judge with love and give it to the Lord. Let the Lord, let the spirit of God move and handle the whole situation. Walk in mercy. Walk in forgiveness. Walk in that love because that is what we're called to do. And again, get to know the word of God and let it penetrate so you recognize immediately what's going on so you can go right into prayer at that very moment. And you should be praying in advance in your secret place with the Lord at all times. You know, I couldn't do a teaching without talking about the secret place of the Lord. Amen. Amen. Let's close in a word of prayer. Father God, we thank you for your word and we bless your word that it does not return void. We bless your word that the enemy does not take it from us, but that we retain it, remember it, apply it to our lives, and live it. In the holy name of Jesus, we pray. Amen. God bless each and every one of you. I will see you in the next message. Bye-bye. Previous Next Home

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

A BELIEVER'S UNBELIEF To expose the subtle yet crippling impact of unbelief in the lives of believers and to lead them into spiritual awareness, repentance, and transformation through the power of confession, prayer, fasting, and faith in Jesus Christ. A BELIEVER'S UNBELIEF Minister Lisa Kane October 22, 2025 Objective: To expose the subtle yet crippling impact of unbelief in the lives of believers and to lead them into spiritual awareness, repentance, and transformation through the power of confession, prayer, fasting, and faith in Jesus Christ. Synopsis: In A Believer’s Unbelief, Minister Lisa Kane delivers a powerful teaching on how unbelief silently hinders the lives of believers, keeping them from walking in the fullness of God’s power and promises. Drawing from key scriptures in Hebrews, Romans, Mark, and Matthew, she illustrates that unbelief is more than doubt—it is spiritual hardness that blocks us from experiencing the supernatural life Jesus intended. The message challenges listeners to recognize the areas in their lives where unbelief persists, even while professing faith. Minister Lisa explores the spiritual implications of unbelief through the failure of the disciples to cast out a demon, the cry of a desperate father for help with his unbelief, and even how Jesus Himself was limited by the unbelief of others. She emphasizes that confession is the gateway to overcoming unbelief—confession as humility, alignment with truth, and a declaration of faith in Jesus' lordship. Prayer and fasting are highlighted as necessary disciplines to combat unbelief and grow in spiritual authority. Through biblical insight and practical reflection, A Believer’s Unbelief calls believers to a deeper faith—one that not only acknowledges Jesus as Savior but also embraces the power of His resurrection, healing, and deliverance. The message ends with a personal call: ask God to reveal where unbelief resides, confess Jesus over those areas, and begin to walk in the full measure of faith and power promised to every believer. Inspired Teaching - Written and/or Transcribed from Video Above: Unbelief hinders us greatly, and many who are believers don’t realize it. Unbelief keeps us from walking in the power of God and it makes us blind to everything around us. In fact, unbelief causes our heart, (soul – thoughts and feelings) to become hardened. Hebrews 3:7-8 NKJV 7 Therefore, as the Holy Spirit says: “Today, if you will hear His voice, 8 Do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion, In the day of trial in the wilderness, Notice earlier in the chapter, we read: Hebrews 3:1-2 NKJV Therefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our confession, Christ Jesus, 2 who was faithful to Him who appointed Him, as Moses also was faithful in all His house. Confession is what helps us with unbelief. When we confess, it is an act of humility before the Lord. It is our spirit saying we were wrong and we need forgiveness, healing, deliverance, etc. Hebrews 3:16-19 NKJV 16 For who, having heard, rebelled? Indeed, was it not all who came out of Egypt, led by Moses? 17 Now with whom was He angry forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, whose corpses fell in the wilderness? 18 And to whom did He swear that they would not enter His rest, but to those who did not obey? 19 So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief. When we walk in unbelief, we stay in the dry desert, wilderness and don’t reach the promise land. So, how do we confess? Romans 10:9 NKJV 9 that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. 1 John 1:9 NKJV 9 If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. Jesus promised us that He will forgive and cleanse us of all unrighteousness. Another way to say this is that when we confess, we are called righteous. Once in that righteous state of mind, we walk in the power of God. Jesus demonstrated to us in scripture what unbelief did to His disciples. Mark 9:17-29 NKJV 17 Then one of the crowd answered and said, “Teacher, I brought You my son, who has a mute spirit. 18 And wherever it seizes him, it throws him down; he foams at the mouth, gnashes his teeth, and becomes rigid. So I spoke to Your disciples, that they should cast it out, but they could not.” 19 He answered him and said, “O faithless[b] generation, how long shall I be with you? How long shall I [c]bear with you? Bring him to Me.” 20 Then they brought him to Him. And when he saw Him, immediately the spirit convulsed him, and he fell on the ground and wallowed, foaming at the mouth. 21 So He asked his father, “How long has this been happening to him?” And he said, “From childhood. 22 And often he has thrown him both into the fire and into the water to destroy him. But if You can do anything, have compassion on us and help us.” 23 Jesus said to him, “If[d] you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes.” 24 Immediately the father of the child cried out and said with tears, “Lord, I believe; help my unbelief!” 25 When Jesus saw that the people came running together, He rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to it, “Deaf and dumb spirit, I command you, come out of him and enter him no more!” 26 Then the spirit cried out, convulsed him greatly, and came out of him. And he became as one dead, so that many said, “He is dead.” 27 But Jesus took him by the hand and lifted him up, and he arose. 28 And when He had come into the house, His disciples asked Him privately, “Why could we not cast it out?” 29 So He said to them, “This kind can come out by nothing but prayer [e]and fasting.” Let’s read the same event in Matthew: Matthew 17:14-21 NKJV 14 And when they had come to the multitude, a man came to Him, kneeling down to Him and saying, 15 “Lord, have mercy on my son, for he is [c]an epileptic and suffers severely; for he often falls into the fire and often into the water. 16 So I brought him to Your disciples, but they could not cure him.” 17 Then Jesus answered and said, “O [d]faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you? How long shall I bear with you? Bring him here to Me.” 18 And Jesus rebuked the demon, and it came out of him; and the child was cured from that very hour. 19 Then the disciples came to Jesus privately and said, “Why could we not cast it out?” 20 So Jesus said to them, “Because of your [e]unbelief; for assuredly, I say to you, if you have faith as a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you. 21 [f]However, this kind does not go out except by prayer and fasting.” The disciples were unable to cast out this demon. Now notice, the disciples had already been casting out demons and knew how to do so. This wasn’t because they didn’t know what they were doing. Jesus explained to His disciples that unbelief played a role in this, as well as not being prepared through prayer and fasting. But look how Jesus handled the situation. He told the man that brought his son to him that if you believe, all things are possible. The man responded saying I believe but help me with my unbelief. He, the man, the father of this demon possessed child acknowledged that he could not help his son because he had no power. Since he had no power, he reached out to Jesus’ disciples and imagine what he thought when he saw that even the disciples could not cast out the demon. He came to the disciples because he believed but his belief was shaken. So Jesus reminded him but he said I believe but I need help with my unbelief. Because at this point, what else could be done when the disciples could not cast out the demon? Then Jesus cast the demon out and healed the boy. The disciples knew something wasn’t right here, which caused their belief to shaken. At this point, Jesus needed to restore their belief explaining that when you are shaken like this, you need to go back to the scripture, to Jesus and find out what’s going on. You need to bring your belief back up and Jesus did that by explaining that to cast out this kind of demon you need to be in prayer and fasting. Based on the outcome, the disciples weren’t praying and fasting like Jesus. Even Jesus was limited on what He could do when unbelief was present. Mark 6:5-6 NKJV 5 Now He could do no mighty work there, except that He laid His hands on a few sick people and healed them. 6 And He marveled because of their unbelief. Then He went about the villages in a circuit, teaching. Here we are today, where unbelief is rampant here in America. This level of unbelief prevents the spirit from moving. Even the disciples didn’t believe those who told them Jesus had risen and Jesus rebuked them for their unbelief. Mark 16:14-18 NKJV 14 Later He appeared to the eleven as they sat at the table; and He rebuked their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they did not believe those who had seen Him after He had risen. 15 And He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. 16 He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned. 17 And these signs will follow those who [d]believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues; 18 they[e] will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.” Unbelief keeps us from walking in the power of the Holy Spirit. The question you should ask yourself is what areas in your life where unbelief is true. Many believe in Jesus but don’t believe in the power of Jesus. For example, do you believe that Jesus saved you or are you hoping that He will save you? Do you believe Jesus heals? Do you believe Jesus delivers? Ask yourself what you believe and ask God to help you see the areas of unbelief in your life like the father of the son demon possessed. Then confess Jesus is Lord over that area in your life and watch God move over that area so that your unbelief is turned to belief. Previous Next Home
