CHRIST IS PREACHED The objective of this teaching is to demonstrate that the preaching of Christ, whether motivated by love or by contention, still serves to advance the gospel. By examining Paul’s letter to the Philippians alongside Jesus’ words in Matthew, the lesson encourages believers, teachers, and ministers to prioritize preaching with love while recognizing that God can still work through imperfect motives. Ultimately, the aim is to strengthen faith, inspire boldness, and emphasize that Christ is magnified both in life and in death. CHRIST IS PREACHED Minister Lisa Kane August 27, 2025 Objective: The objective of this teaching is to demonstrate that the preaching of Christ, whether motivated by love or by contention, still serves to advance the gospel. By examining Paul’s letter to the Philippians alongside Jesus’ words in Matthew, the lesson encourages believers, teachers, and ministers to prioritize preaching with love while recognizing that God can still work through imperfect motives. Ultimately, the aim is to strengthen faith, inspire boldness, and emphasize that Christ is magnified both in life and in death. Synopsis: In Christ is Preached, Lisa Kane explores Paul’s message to the Philippians, highlighting how his imprisonment not only spread the gospel to new places like the palace but also emboldened others to preach with greater confidence. Paul acknowledges that some preach Christ with motives of envy and strife, while others do so out of love. Yet, he rejoices regardless, affirming that the central truth remains—Christ is being preached. The teaching then bridges Paul’s perspective with Jesus’ words in Matthew 5:17-20, reminding listeners that Christ came not to destroy the law but to fulfill it. Ministers are urged to honor God’s commandments in their preaching, as those who teach and live by them will be called great in the kingdom of heaven. At the same time, Paul’s reassurance shows that even those who preach imperfectly are still within God’s plan. Drawing from both Old and New Testament commandments rooted in love (Deuteronomy 13:3, John 13:34-35), the message concludes that while God can use both fear-driven and love-driven preaching, it is far better to teach, preach, and evangelize with love. Love magnifies Christ, builds up the body of believers, and secures a greater reward in the kingdom of heaven. Inspired Teaching - Written and/or Transcribed from Video Above: There are some good points Paul makes to the Philippians in chapter 2 that I want to explore in this Bible Study. Objective: The objective of this teaching is to demonstrate that the preaching of Christ, whether motivated by love or by contention, still serves to advance the gospel. By examining Paul’s letter to the Philippians alongside Jesus’ words in Matthew, the lesson encourages believers, teachers, and ministers to prioritize preaching with love while recognizing that God can still work through imperfect motives. Ultimately, the aim is to strengthen faith, inspire boldness, and emphasize that Christ is magnified both in life and in death. Philippians 1:12-14 KJV 12 But I would ye should understand, brethren, that the things which happened unto me have fallen out rather unto the furtherance of the gospel; 13 So that my bonds in Christ are manifest in all the palace, and in all other places; 14 And many of the brethren in the Lord, waxing confident by my bonds, are much more bold to speak the word without fear. First off, it looks like the Philippians were asking Paul about the bonds that he was in, and he answered them by telling them that they’re turning out to be more for the gospel. That those bonds he is in are manifesting the gospel in places, such as the palace and elsewhere. And that it had a side-effect of causing people to speak with more confidence and boldness without fear. Then he goes on to explain that there are more ways to preach the gospel because of this. Philippians 1:15-18 KJV 15 Some indeed preach Christ even of envy and strife; and some also of good will: 16 The one preach Christ of contention, not sincerely, supposing to add affliction to my bonds: 17 But the other of love, knowing that I am set for the defence of the gospel. 18 What then? notwithstanding, every way, whether in pretence, or in truth, Christ is preached; and I therein do rejoice, yea, and will rejoice. Paul explains the motives behind some of these preachers. Some have the motive of envy and strife but others with good will. He explains that the ones preaching with contention are attempting to poor out more affliction, make you feel more guilty in hopes that will cause you to humble yourself before the Lord. But there are those who preach with love defending the gospel as it is as Paul does. Then Paul makes the mind-blowing statement that whether they preach in pretense or in truth, that Christ is preached, and that causes him to rejoice. I always wondered about this because I see people get saved fully knowing the teaching they heard was not out of love. And even in my own life, I realized that I would rather teach out of love than to bring someone to the Lord through fear. Philippians 1:19-22 KJV 19 For I know that this shall turn to my salvation through your prayer, and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ, 20 According to my earnest expectation and my hope, that in nothing I shall be ashamed, but that with all boldness, as always, so now also Christ shall be magnified in my body, whether it be by life, or by death. 21 For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain. 22 But if I live in the flesh, this is the fruit of my labour: yet what I shall choose I wot not. And here Paul tells us that yes, the Spirit of Christ is working here in salvation through prayer. He brings this back to his suffering and rejoices because people are being saved and Christ is magnified through his body in life and eventually through death. Then he explains that living is done through being in Christ and that dying is gaining Christ. He’s not ashamed of the gospel but stands with all boldness…and he does eventually die for Christ because of this boldness. Let’s look at this through Jesus in Matthew: Matthew 5:17-20 KJV 17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. 18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. 19 Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. 20 For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven. First, Jesus clearly states that He didn’t come to destroy the law but to fulfill it. This is a good reminder that to each of us, we don’t know the Word of God or the law in it’s fullness, as the scribes and Pharisees claimed to know. This missed the Messiah’s first coming. And Jesus boldly and confidently states that every prophecy will be fulfilled. Then He makes this bold statement in verse 19: 19 Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. When you are behind the pulpit as an evangelist, pastor, teacher etc, if you teach your followers to break the least of the commandments, then you are called least in the kingdom of heaven. Wait – what? You’re still in the kingdom of heaven? That’s right. Paul was confirming what Jesus demonstrated and stated in Matthew 5. But Jesus goes on to say that those that follow the commandments and teach, preach, evangelize them, then you shall be great in the kingdom of heaven. It’s great to see that Christ is still preached but as I speak to evangelists, preachers, pastors, teachers etc, know that when you preach by keeping His commandments, your status will be greater in the kingdom of heaven then those who preach with fear. What are the commandments? Deuteronomy 13:3 KJV 3 Thou shalt not hearken unto the words of that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams: for the Lord your God proveth you, to know whether ye love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul. John 13:34-35 KJV 34 A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. 35 By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another. Both the old and new commandments are based in love. Conclusion, preach, evangelize, teach in love for it is the better option for you, and don’t condemn those that preach through fear. The spirit of God is working on them and they still have the option of being in the kingdom of heaven. Previous Next Home

UNDERSTANDING THE BOOK OF REVELATION PART 5 Equip listeners to grasp the Revelation 7–9 timeline—how the church age closes, how the first half of the Tribulation unfolds through the seven trumpets and the first two “woes,” why God’s judgments fall on “one-third” of creation, and how these events aim to drive repentance while God preserves a sealed remnant of Israel. UNDERSTANDING THE BOOK OF REVELATION PART 5 Pastor Marcos Marrero May 31, 2009 Objective: Equip listeners to grasp the Revelation 7–9 timeline—how the church age closes, how the first half of the Tribulation unfolds through the seven trumpets and the first two “woes,” why God’s judgments fall on “one-third” of creation, and how these events aim to drive repentance while God preserves a sealed remnant of Israel. Synopsis: The message opens with prayer and spiritual warfare, declaring the gathering a “no-fly zone” for the enemy. The teacher then reviews a dispensational reading of Revelation: the church age (seven churches/seals) gives way to the Rapture, after which the Holy Spirit’s church-age anointing lifts. The Laodicean-type church is portrayed as remaining to face testing. The first six seals are recapped—especially wars, deception, famine, and cosmic disturbance—framed as forces that shaped church history and culminate in a visible unveiling of Christ at the sixth seal. Matthew 24 is woven in to show parallel signs and the call for believers to “look up.” Turning to Revelation 8–9, “about half an hour” of silence in heaven is interpreted as the first 1,260 days (three and a half years) of Tribulation. Seven angels receive seven trumpets, signaling swift, concentrated judgments that mingle heaven’s fire with “the prayers of the saints” (divine recompense). The first four trumpets strike one-third of earth, sea, rivers, and heavenly lights—read as spiritual forces now driving history toward three escalating “woes.” Woe 1 (fifth trumpet): a fallen “star” (Satan) opens the abyss; demonic “locusts” torment people for five months but cannot harm those sealed by God (Israel’s remnant). This visible collision of the spiritual and physical realms is presented as severe mercy—exposing the reality of demons so that many will repent. Woe 2 (sixth trumpet): four destroying angels bound at the Euphrates are released to kill a third of humanity, accompanied by a 200-million strong, terrifying cavalry. Despite judgments, many still refuse to repent of demon-worship, violence, sorcery, sexual immorality, and theft (Rev 9:20–21). The two witnesses (identified here as Enoch and Elijah) establish Temple worship and law, confront the rising Antichrist/false prophet, and are killed after 1,260 days; the world celebrates until God raises them, along with those martyred in faithful repentance. Throughout, the speaker emphasizes: God judges the Church first (escape via faithfulness to Jesus and His Word), then purifies Israel and the nations; judgments are purposeful—to reveal Christ, unmask Satan, and compel a choice. The message closes urging readiness, repentance, and reliance on the Holy Spirit to discern spiritual truth and endure faithfully. Inspired Teaching - Written and/or Transcribed from Video Above: [Music] Thank you Jesus. Hallelujah. Praise God. Praise the Lord. Father in heaven, in Jesus name, we take we take authority right now, Father God, over every principality, every power, every dominion, every spirit of wickedness, Father God, in the name of Jesus. And we bind them right now. We thank you, dear Lord Jesus, for we declare this uh service tonight a no-fly zone, Father God. uh where uh no works of the enemy can prosper, Father God. For we declare them dead tonight, Father God, we bind them so that they will not interfere with the word of God as it goes forth tonight. We thank you now that as we humble ourselves before you, Father God, come to praise and to worship you and honor your presence here tonight. Father God, we ask that you would give us ears to hear. That you would open our hearts to understand and to receive and that you would allow your word, Father God, to bring life and joy and peace into our spirit, soul, and body. Father God, to the glory of your son, Jesus, we pray. Amen. Praise God. Hallelujah. We um uh so far have gone through the first uh seven chapters of the uh book of Revelation. Today we're going to deal with the seventh chapter and then move on. But basically we said that God works through dispensations. And we said that the dispensation of grace which is the church age when Jesus came and said I will build my church and the gates of hell will not prevail against it up until the time when the church it is rapture that means that the anointing power of God which is the Holy Spirit who landed God himself landed upon the 120 uh disciples and it was manifested by tongues of fire upon their heads. that anointing will be removed at that time because we said 120 time 50 equals 6,000 or the end of the six day work weak. So basically when the church is removed the the Holy F is God is everywhere. He's not removed but the anointing that was upon the church is removed because there's a church that's going to be left the Leoa church that have to go through the through the testing. And that's how they earned their salvation. They're the ones that have Jesus on the outside in in Revelation 3:20 to the church of Leo. They say Jesus says, "I stand at the door and knock. If you open the door, I will come in." Meaning that that's the only church that doesn't have Jesus in it. And so that church has to go through the through the trials and tribulations that will be taking place uh uh during that time. But we know that the seven that the uh 2,000 years of church that we have right now were divided into seven. I I got water here, but thank you. I'll take it. I'm going to call I'll take it. The other one kind of water. Thank you. Anyway, so the that that was divided into seven and we saw that it was seven seals. In the physical revelation of the church age, God gave us seven churches. Jesus appeared to John and send the message to seven churches and you can go historically from the beginning. Uh a church that was very much on fire for God and you can follow it to where it comes to I think it's our to where it says you have a reputation of being alive but you're dead. you know the to the church history and then it comes up to the last two churches where one is is going to be taken away and the other one is going to be left. And then when we came to the spiritual side of that we saw that it was through seven seals and we saw by by the paper that we had that that the seven seals uh the first four seals were the horses. the white horse, the red horse, the black horse, the pale horse. And this symbolized the spirit or the force that was moving the church age. And we saw that through Hitler and through the wars and the different things that were going on, the one world power that was going, the spirit of Antichrist. As a matter of fact, as we move on, you will see that there's three spirits jump out of the Antichrist like three frogs. I believe that those three spirits is the spirits that that govern the world today. One is Freud as you know Sigman Freud introduced the um uh uh the psychology that affects so much today. The other one was Carl Marx who introduced to us socialism which is what's trying to unite the world today. And the um and the fourth was um and the third one was um uh Darwin with evolution. those three spirits uh uh Freud, Darwin and and and Marx are the three forces that are governing today. And you'll see those spirits come out like frogs in the middle of the of the tribulation. So we know that there are spiritual forces driving the thing. So that we found out then that uh uh the the fifth seal deals with bringing Israel back as a nation and and bringing the world as a as as a united uh world, the new world order, which is what they're talking today. And when the sixth seal was open, we know that that involves a war that will take place on 1/4th of the earth. And that's the Middle East. And this will be an army that comes from the north who many believe is Russia with with uh Bethtomga, that's where Turkey is today and Persia, that's where Iran is today. And he names the people that come and it will invade Israel. And God is going to use that opportunity to show himself holy. In other words, right now, everybody has a different God. When this sixth seal takes place, the physical realm that we live in is going to be tore open. It's like a scroll. The sky is going to rolled up. See, those say they didn't have books like we do. They had uh uh scrolls that were rolled and you open it to read it. But if you let it go, it it rolled up again. He says that's what the sky is going to do. The sky is going to rolled up and then all of a sudden we're going to see Jesus. We're going to see God. Everybody in the whole world is going to see it. And then that's when the wrath of God is about to begin. So there is a conjunction. Then the first three chapters one, two, and three give us the physical history of the church age. Uh verses four, chapters four, five and six give us a spiritual version of it. And then on chapter 7, we have a coming together. A coming together. Now, last week I kind of make a made a parenthesis in the fact that we had to deal with in Matthew 24 Jesus says no one knows the day nor the hour. And the thing is if we see that Russia or some power from the north is invading Israel and that Israel is about to fall, you know, then we know that Jesus is about to come. And that's what he said. Jesus told the disciples when he gave him all of the sign. He said, "When you see these things begin to happen, look out. This is not the time." What what did he say when we open the sixth seal? He says, "Men hid to the caves and into the rocks." And he said, "Hide us from the wrath of him who's coming." Jesus says the opposite for us Christian when we see those things begin to take place. He says, "Look out for your redemption is getting very, very close to the word to know." And so I told you and we got ahead a little bit of ourselves last week that when Jesus says no one knows the day nor the hour, he's talking about the middle of the wrath of God, the middle of the seven years. And we're probably going to get into that next week in great detail. But let's pick it up now. And if you have the book, we'll be on page um 35. And uh at the bottom of the page, Matthew 24, chapters 40 and 41. And this is in the middle. Jesus is giving us at the beginning of Matthew 24. The disciple asked him, when is going to be the end of the age? What is going to be the sign that you're coming? So Jesus goes through a great list of things that will take place. He said, "Be careful that no one deceive you." That's a white horse. He says because many antichrist will come and say I am he and they will deceive many. Then he says there will be wars and rumors of war. That's the second horse. And they said will be famines and and and all kinds of uh economic things. He says that's not the end yet. And then when the when the fourth comes in that's when you say when the son of man come to come the lightning that flashes from the east goes to the west. I don't know if you ever had a lot of lightning storms every every summer and when a real big lightning falls close to where you are and you see it not just far. It's almost like the light in a lightning is so bright. It's almost like a crack appear in the middle of reality and you can see through the other side. I don't know if you ever felt that when I seen lightning real close. That's what it looked like. And that's what it is. the the the spiritual realm where God is is so bright that it when that happen, it's going to be like a crack that opens. And that's what Jesus says. Before I come, it's going to be like lightning. It's going to flash from the east to the west and boom, the sky is going to roll up like a scroll and you're going to see the bright light. And the people who love darkness are going to be fleeing to the caves and going to be scared thinking the end of the world is there. But for us who believe, we're going to be rejoicing because we know that our salvation is very near. So that's why I dealt with that day known only to the Lord. That when he said there's a day that is known only to the Lord, that is in the middle of the seven years, the wrath of God, when God kind of brings all of the clocks together. We just have our first conjunction of the clock. We had the 144th generation from Adam to us. I believe the 144th generation was born when Israel was born as a nation. And they call the generation today the baby boomer generation. I mean it even had one of the few generations that was named, you know, the the the baby boomer generation. That's that's I believe that's the last generation. The Bible says that Jesus is going to come before that generation ends. If it's 1947 or 1948, that takes you to 2017 or 2018. So that means the seven years had to take place before that because the seven years happened. That means 2010 is as far as we can go. If if this is the case, that that's how close we are, guys. That's how close I believe we are, you know. Yeah, that's how close we are. I believe that we're not close because if that last generation is the generation that was born when Israel was born, those seven years have to take place because the seven years include all of the events that Jesus says is going to take place. And those he says this generation shall not pass away until all of those events pass. Those events are going to pass transpire through the seven-year period. That means that the seven year have to start no later than 2010. Now might interest some of you that the Mayan calendar uh that was there in Mexico and in Peru that they found they calculated that the end of the world will be in 2017 and they have a snake that's called or whatever the snake supposed to come on on on se no on December 24th of 2011. They figure that this snake is going to come from the sky. You know it says in Revelation chapter 13 there was a a a dragon in the sky and his tail drew a tear of the stars. These people knew this back then. You see these are spiritual things and those people were deep into the spiritual things except they were into the dark part of the spiritual things. But now let's begin. If you got the books page 35 or go to Matthew 24 verse 40 and 41. And this is the rapture. He says, "Then two men will be in the field." No, this is this is the middle of the tribulation. The two then two men will be in the field. One will be taken and the other one left. Two women will be grinding at the meal. One will be taken and the other one left. And and then uh and then it says that it will be a day that is truly a day known only to the Lord. Now what is happening there is uh during the middle of the tribulation everybody will be killed by what we're going to be beginning to study today. Everybody that's on the earth one-third of the earth is going to be killed. So if the Jews are going to inherited a physical land and are going to have physical bodies because when we're resurrected our bodies are changed. Jesus says that in the resurrection we will have bodies like the angels who neither marry nor are given in marriage. I mean when we get our new bodies we're not going to have husbands wife. Jesus is the husband. He's is our Lord and all of us belong to him. So we're not going to be able to reproduce. So basically God has to keep some Jewish people that will be able to reproduce. Now, amazingly enough, only God knows our genetic makeup. And when it says there that one will be taken and one will be left, this is the Assa. That's what the day of the Lord was about. That's what the day of atonement was about. When you brought the two goats, you cast lots. One was led into the wilderness and one was taken to the slaughter. That mean you if you're a Jew, because that's for the Jews. If you're a Jew and you're married and either you, the husband or the wife, don't have the right genes, when the day of atonement comes, one of them will be killed. The other one will be spared to go into the wilderness. And then they're the ones that are going to be taken into the the caves and they're going to reproduce after the seven years so that God will have a physical inheritance. This is why you see that at the end of the thousand years, Satan is loosened. He had to be loosened because none of those people has ever faced temptation because Satan is bound with a great chain and is throwing into into the great pit. So I just wanted to conclude that from last week which took us ahead but just to to bring it down uh to that a scripture that I failed to use last week also is Jeremiah 33 2021 which is on page 36 and the Lord says thus sayeth the Lord if you can break my covenant with the day and my covenant with the night so that there will be not so that there will not be a day and a night in their in my season in their season. Then my covenant may also be broken with David, my servant, so that he shall not have a son to reign on his throne and with the Levites, the priest, my minister. Notice how in Jeremiah, God says, I have a covenant with the day and with the night. That means God has a covenant where the sun has to go up and down or, you know, we see that it's going up and down, but where the earth has to go around. God says that covenant he made with David and he told David as long as day time and night time comes you will have a king to fall an anointed person to rule over you. You know many this is where the the uh uh many people believe that Jeremiah went wound up in in England. This is why so many of them are named Jeremy. And some people say that the stone that was underneath the the the throne back then is on the underneath the throne of England. There's all kinds of things that you can follow. But I believe the church today sits on the throne of David. And as soon as the throne of David is removed, uh the church is removed because if you look in Revelation chapter three when the Philadelphia church says, "I will open uh he will have the key of David and he will open that which cannot whatever he opens nobody can close and whatever he closes nobody can open." The key of David means the anointing that was upon David or upon Israel that's the anointing that is in the church. When the church is removed, that anointing is visited upon the Jews, 144,000 of them. But they rebel. Believe it or not, Israel rebels in the middle of the tribulation. As as they rebel, what happens is they will cease to have. See, when the antichrist takes over, they will not be one single entity on the earth to represent God's businesses here on earth. Right now, the church, the true church represent God's businesses. Israel represented it before that. Israel is going to represent it for the first 1260 days that we're going to cover now. But when they rebel and they are all killed and only a remnant is taken away and they're hidden some place, they will not be an agency on the earth that has to kill David. That's when the antichrist actually rises up and takes over. This is why the Bible says that during that time and if you got the book I got all of the scriptures there you can read it that then an angel from heaven comes and proclaimed the everlasting gospel. The gospel then has to be proclaimed by an angelic agency during that time. And you know what the angel says? If you accept the mark of the beast you'll go to hell forever and you will be beheaded for not accepting it. So I'm just kind of giving you a background of where we're getting into because this is a little bit more deeper. Now, what we're going to do, we're going to go to the uh the page 37. And if you got your book, we're going to go to Revelation chapter 8, verse one. If you want to follow through the Bible, this is what happens after the rapture. We are taken away. There was a war in Israel. Uh all of the sudden, as Israel is being surrounded by armies, the armies are surrounding Jerusalem. Jesus intervene when the sixth seal is open there's a great earthquake all of the foundations of the mountains all over the world will be moved the mean here in California all of those uh uh uh base of the mountains are all going to be shaken it says every wall is going to fall and then the sky is going to recede everybody's going to know that Jesus is coming as we're taken away now begins a period of time which is 1,260 days or the first half of the seven years. And God is going to concentrate his efforts or his focus on this first half is going to be Israel because he takes Israel and anoints them and the two witnesses that come who is uh Enoch and Elijah are going to establish the law and temple worship during that time and they're going to tell the world you have to fulfill the law. You have to live by the law. And it says that during that 1,260 days, any nation who does not follow the law that they laid down, rain is not going to come upon them. There's going to be famine. There's going to be all kinds of things. So now the law is given. Now, let's look at the spiritual side of the first 1,260 days after we're gone. Revelation 8:1. And when he had opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven about the space of a half an hour. Now if you remember you have the four which produce the two and the seventh always is the one that connects you into the next realm. Like when you have innocent conscience, human government promise out of those four things comes Israel and the church. And when Israel and the church combine comes the kingdom age. Then on the church age we had the white horse, the red horse, the black horse, the pale horse. Then we had the souls under the altar. We had the wrath of the lamb. And then when the church is raptured, that leads us into the seven years wrath of God. Now we're going to see the same principle over here. If you have this is the first, the second, the third, and the fourth trumpets that are going to be taking place. Now notice that it says about the space of a half an hour. Now what God is going to do here, he's already judged the church. How were we judged? If you kept his word and if you believe on the deity of Jesus, you're gone. He says, "Because you have kept my word and you have not deny my name, I will keep you from the hour." Listen to what Jesus says. The scripture is there. It this in Revelation chapter 3:10. Because you have kept my command to persevere, I also will keep you from the hour of trial which shall come upon the whole world to test those who dwell in the world. So the judgment of God begins with the church. You believe his word, you keep his name, he's going to keep you from the hour that's coming to test it. The church le say those believe the word, they get left. So that is the judgment of the church. One of them is gets gone. One gets left behind. Now we begin the judgment of Israel. Before you can judge Israel, you have to put him back in charge. Anointing. So 144,000 of them are are anointed. This is done through the two witnesses. to step when the cloud is open out of heaven. They send these two witnesses who have never died who were taken up to heaven and have to come to earth to die because the Bible says it is appointed of men once to die. Then comes the judgment since Elijah never died and see it cannot be Moses. Moses died and was buried. If Moses died twice, dying twice is the second death. That's them for eternity. You don't want to die a second time. You just want to die the natural death and that's it. And we're already dead in Christ. So we don't even die. The Bible says absent from the body, present with the Lord. Our body may die, but we just go straight up to heaven. So the idea here is now that God is going to deal with Israel and he's going to deal with him in this hour. Remember this hour uh I think it's in in Isaiah says, "For the day of the Lord is the year of retribution." That's 365 Sabbath. Jesus called this period of time the hour. He says that uh in in Revelation 3:10, I will keep you from the hour of trial. The fact that it says in Revelation chapter 81, there was in silence in heaven for about half an hour, meanings that we're going to be dealing with the first half of the seven-year period. So everything you see here now is going to is what's going to happen from day one when we get taken out to 1,260 days which is by the way three and a half years. Three and a half years. This is what's going to happen. Okay. And uh Revelation 8 2 through 6. And I saw seven angels who stand before God. And to them were given seven trumpets. Then another angel having a golden sensor came and stood at the altar. He was given much incense that he should offer it with the prayers of all of the saints upon the golden altar which was before the throne. And the smoke of the incense with the prayers of the saint ascended before God from the angel's hand. Then the angel took the sensor filled it with a fire from the earth the altar and threw it to the earth. And there were noises, thunderings, lightning, and an earthquake. So the seven angels who had the seven trumpers prepared themselves to sound. Here we see if if you remember when the fifth seal was open in Revelation chapter 6, when the fifth seal was open, he says, "I saw the souls under the altar of those who have been slaughtered for the sake uh of the word." He doesn't call them Christian. I believe that these are the Jews and the many people who believe the word but they were not Christian. And he saw them dressed in white. They were given harps and they asked God, "How long before you judge the world for what they did to us? How long before you judge Hitler and before you judge Staling and before you judge all of this tyrant that's been killing us and killing us and killing us and raping our children and killing our How long? Now notice that it says there that as the seventh seal is open in heaven, we see that there's lightnings and thunders and an angel takes like a some kind of a bowl or something. He the fire that's burning out of the altar of God. He fills it with that puts incense. Incense is like prayer. You know incense is a powder. You throw it in the fire and it goes up and the incense is mixed with the prayers of the saints. This is payback time, baby. That's what that mean. This is payback time. Every soul that got in heaven, every person got resurrected in heaven that was mistreated, that was beaten, that was whoever it was that did it. This is where nations are going to be judged. Nations, you know, when the Jews were were were being slaughtered, many nations did not want them. Cuba, they they had a big ship full of Jews and they turned him back. I believe that's why we had had 50 years of Fidel Castro, the mystery we had, you know, and this is how it's been. nations are going to be judged by how they treated not only Jews but the Christians who are now in heaven are saying to God yeah that guy over there he he killed 150,000 of us this is time so when this fire is released the prayers of the saint that's saying how long before you judge it is make and is throwing down onto the earth and it comes in the form of seven trumpets now the seals the first four seals where in the form of a horse that gallops and gallops and gallop takes forever. A trumpet is this is fast. This is not going to take a long time to take place. When the trumpet blows, this thing is going to begin. And so it it it as a reference you can look at Deuteronomy 32 34 and 35 where God says, "Is this not laid up in store with me? Seal upon my treasures. Vengeance is mine and recompense. Their foot shall slip in due time. For the day of their calamity is at hand, and the things to come hasten upon them." So this is the beginning now of the judgment of God upon the world. Now Revelation 8:7 says the first angel that's on next page 39 says the first angel sounded and hail and fire followed mingled with blood and they were thrown to the earth and a third of the trees were burned up and all green grass was burned up. Now I want you to see the symbolism here. During the third seal he says 14th 1/4 you need to understand four is a number for the physical creation. You have east, west, north and south square. Everything is square. You saw the four angels holding back the four winds on the corners of the earth. This is speaking about a judgment that was man against man. This is why Israel was invaded. Now we're coming to spiritual judgment. That's what number three is. Number three is the number of the spirit. God the father, God the son, God the holy spirit. So you see that the judgments here are based on onethird one-third of the trees. In in Revelation 8:7 it says, "And a third of the trees were burned out." Revelation 8:9, the second angel sounded like a great mountain burning with fire. A turn of the living a third of the living creatures in the sea died. Revelation 8:10 and 11. A third of the waters became warm wood and many men died from the water because he was made bitter. And the fourth trumpet and the fourth angel sounded. This is Revelation 8:12. And a third of the sun was struck and a third of the moon and a third of the stars. So a third of them were darkness and a third of the day did not shine likewise the night. So the night. So what we see here now is a spiritual judgment. First there was a physical judgment. The churches were judged in the physical. Whether we kept the word of God, whether we believe that Jesus is the son of God, whether we believe that the word of God is a real uh uh that the Bible is a real word of God. We deny we did not denied his name and we kept his word. And then there was a physical army, man against man. That was the first judgment or the end of the church age was the war, man versus man. People who hate the people of God. Did you know I was reading I just got my thing from the uh the Assemblies of God International. They send uh every three months they send the magazine. The most popular books that are out right now, three or four books, are all about atheists spouting their hate towards the children of God, towards the word of God. There's so much demand for the books that they're writing. They're having to do printings and printing and printing after that. This is spiritual sign that we're on the end time. Tremendous hate. Why? Because they're demonic. The stronger the demons in them, the more they hate the word of God, the more they hate the people of God. But here in this realm that we're starting right now, it is a spiritual versus the physical. One-third of the trees, one-third of the sea, one-third of the earth, one-third of the skies, the sun, the moon, and the star. What that means now, there's going to be a conflict or war between humans and spirits. And this is what we need to see. these four forces that you see. And remember, you have to keep in mind that these four things are like spirits or forces that are released. And those four things are the the power behind the 1,260 days. These three and a half years are going to be driven by spirits behind the earth, behind the rivers, behind the sea, and behind the stars. This force is going to drive everything to what is called three walls. And let's go to the next trumpet. And now you you'll see it how it makes sense. Revelation 8:13. And I look and I heard an angel flying through the midst of heaven. There is an angel now. This is spiritual. saying with a loud voice, "Woe, wo, wo to the inhabitants of the earth because of the remaining blast of the trump of the three trumpets or of the three angels that have the trumpet that are about to sound." These three wolves are the consequences of these four forces that were unleashed. They were unleashed upon the earth. Now remember for those of you that were here when we just finished our supernatural lesson in the supernatural realm, what did we dealt with? We dealt with the sea saying that's where the seed of Satan is. Then we dealt with the air. That's where the wicked spirit is where the principalities rule from. Then we dealt with the creeping things and we dealt with the cattle. Here's the same thing. This is the whole sphere uh spiritual fear where all these four different levels of demonic Christians are is going to be judged. There is a judgment that is taking place and it will happen when when the fifth when the sixth trumpets blow. Why? Because we saw that we we've been following that principle. The four horsemen were the fourth. Then when the fifth seal was open, we saw Israel being judged so that Israel could come back into the land. When the sixth seal is open, we see the church being judged. One gets left, one gets taken up. And then when we saw the seventh seal open up, that's what led us into the rapture. And that's what leds us into the beginning of the seven years of God's wrath. Now, let's go to the first wall. Revelation 9 verses 1-6. Then the fifth angel sounded and I saw a star falling from heaven to the earth. Now remember star represents spiritual things. In Revelation chapter one at the end of the chapter says here's the mystery of the stars and of the seven lampson. He says the stars are the pastors or the messengers or the force behind the church. The seven lampson represent the church. So here's the spirit. That's what it mean. the first spirit falls down. He says, "And when the fifth angel sounded the trumpet, I saw a star falling from heaven to the earth. To him was given the key to the bottomless pit, and he opened the bottomless pit." Now, how many of you know who this is? This is Satan. Jesus said, "I saw Satan fall down from heaven like lightning." This is Satan. Why? Because right now the third heaven is where Jesus and God are. This is when Jesus in the Lord's prayer says, "Our father who are in heaven, uh, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven." That heaven is the third heaven where God is, his will is done perfectly there. The second heaven, however, where Satan is, his will is not being done there. That's the real of Satan. What is called now the underworld. When Jesus comes, we are not taken to heaven. If you listen carefully, he says that Jesus is going to come to the clouds and that we're going to rise up to the clouds to meet the Lord where on the air. Where is Satan? The prince of what? He is the prince of the power of the air. Satan is on this in between the third heaven and earth right now. When Jesus comes in from the rapture, guess who he kicks out? Satan. Guess where he kicks him out from? The second heaven. And guess who he kicks out with him? All of the demons that are with him right now. So actually at the end of the church age, the second heaven is restored like it was originally. See, that's where Adam lived. Even though Adam was on the earth, it says that at the cool of the evening, they went, Adam and Eve went to fellowship with God. Where? In this in between, God would come down from it's like you having a house and having a garden. God lives in the house. They lived in the in in the outside and they met in the garden with God. The garden is a meeting place. That's where we're going to go. We're never going to go to heaven. People don't understand that. We don't uh if we die now, our spirit, we go to heaven. But during the rapture, if we're alive when the rapture takes place, we're not going to heaven. We're going to the air. That's where Jesus is coming to the clouds to be of the air. And we're going to be with him there forever. The Bible says and then Jesus during the seven years is going to purify the earth. And at the end of seven years, he going to come down to where? To the earth because this is our real. We're physic Previous Next Home

THE GOOD SEED The objective of this teaching is to help believers understand the meaning and significance of Jesus’ parable of the wheat and the tares in Matthew 13. The message aims to show why God allows good and evil to coexist in the world, how the final separation of righteousness and wickedness will occur, and how individuals must choose to walk as children of the kingdom—the “good seed.” The teaching also emphasizes the urgency of repentance, the responsibility of believers to share God’s Word, and the assurance of peace and salvation for those who remain in Christ. THE GOOD SEED Minister Lisa Kane July 10, 2025 Objective: The objective of this teaching is to help believers understand the meaning and significance of Jesus’ parable of the wheat and the tares in Matthew 13. The message aims to show why God allows good and evil to coexist in the world, how the final separation of righteousness and wickedness will occur, and how individuals must choose to walk as children of the kingdom—the “good seed.” The teaching also emphasizes the urgency of repentance, the responsibility of believers to share God’s Word, and the assurance of peace and salvation for those who remain in Christ. Synopsis: Lisa Kane, in her message “The Good Seed,” begins with prayer and frames the teaching around Matthew 13:24–30, where Jesus shares the parable of a man sowing good seed in his field, only for the enemy to sow tares among the wheat. She explains the distinction between historical events like Noah’s flood and symbolic parables meant to convey deeper truths. Breaking down Jesus’ interpretation of the parable (Matthew 13:37–43), she identifies the Son of Man (Jesus) as the sower of the good seed, which represents the children of the kingdom, while the tares represent the children of the wicked one, sown by the devil. The field is the world, and the harvest at the end of the age will bring separation by God’s angels: the wicked will be gathered and cast into the fire, while the righteous will shine in the kingdom of their Father. The teaching highlights God’s decision-making process throughout history, particularly His choice to preserve humanity after the flood and ultimately redeem mankind through Jesus Christ. It stresses that each person must decide whether to follow righteousness or remain in sin, with eternal consequences. Lisa calls on believers to urgently warn and intercede for unbelievers, as deception and confusion from the enemy run rampant. She underscores that choosing Christ makes one a child of the good seed, shining with God’s light and destined for eternal life. The message concludes by urging believers to seek first the kingdom of God, walk in righteousness, and continue sowing the Word to bring others into salvation. Inspired Teaching - Written and/or Transcribed from Video Above: Hello and welcome to the House of Faith Ministries. I'm Lisa Kaine. I'm recording this teaching on Thursday, July 10th, 2025. Welcome. Let's open up in a word of prayer. Father God, we thank you for your word and we bless your word. I pray, Father God, that we're ready to hear your word and that you set aside all the distractions and that you have us thirst and hunger for your word. That you do bring answers to questions that we have. uh the decision-making process, for example, of letting this world continue on in the condition that it's in after even after Noah's flood. I thank you for showing us your decision-making process. I thank you for showing us uh the answers that we have questions to. Thank you, Father God. And I pray that we do not forget your word. That your word is implanted in our word, in our bodies, in our minds, and that your word manifests that we can just share your word to others around that also have questions and that are thirsty and hungry. Thank you, Lord. In the name of Jesus, we pray. Amen. Amen. Amen. It's going to be a neat teaching. I I I like this word because it does answer some questions, you know, like why, Lord, why did you decide to not end this? I mean because we've got a lot of evil and evil is very rampant in this world right now today. But it's it it is a question that we have in the back of our minds sometimes. Why do you do this? So anyways, I'm calling this teaching the good seed. And let's start here. We're going to be in Matthew uh 13. And uh before we begin, if you're new, welcome. I appreciate you taking the time. I just teach supplemental teachings to the church. Uh we are just an online ministry. That's all we are. and I just teach what the Bible says and I'm just making certain that the word of God is getting out there because that is heavy on my heart and I want to make sure that the world hears the word of God. Obviously, not everyone is going to listen to me or anything of that nature, but I'm doing my part and I hope that you're doing your part with whatever Christ calls you to do. I'm called to be a teacher and an intercessor, prayer warrior. So, that's what my calling is and I just share that with you all online. Also, if you're new, you're going to see that I present the scriptures in the King James version. It's the closest version to the original text. Also, when you see on the screen uh the black bolded word there, like in this case, parable, that is the original word in the King James version that the translators chose to use when translating that scripture. The words after in parentheses are additional words from the Strong's Hebrew Greek dictionary. In other words, there more words that we could have used in lie of the bolded word if we wanted to. I bring those extra words in because it really brings a depth to the understanding of what the original text was. I rather teach from that perspective than let's say implied uh perspective. I don't want to just give you an an implied uh idea. I want to give you substance from the word of God. Amen. All right. So, we're in Matthew 13. Uh, another parable. Now, the word parable there means similitude, fictitious narrative. So, let's make sure that we understand what a parable is because this is very, very important. You see, Noah's flood is not a parable. That's an actual event that takes place. I know a lot of pastors, a lot of teachers will say, "Let's go to the story of Noah's flood, or let's go to the story of Daniel in the lion's den, uh, or Jonah and the whale." All of those are not stories. They're actual historical events that took place. Well, what Jesus is about to teach us though is a parable. It is something of a like. It's not a true story. It's not an event, but he's telling you something in this parable, and then he's giving the interpretation so that you have an understanding of what it means. So, we're going to go to this parable in verse 24. It says, "Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, now Jesus is talking. He says, the kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good, beautiful seed in his field." So, good seed is a beautiful seed. And that's what this message is about. We're talking about the good seed. But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tears or false grain among the wheat and went his way. But when the blade was sprung up and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tears also. So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, "Sir, not thou sew good seed in thy field? From whence then hath it tears?" You know, he's saying, "I saw I thought I saw you putting good seed. What happened here? where where this this bad false grain coming from? And so um he said unto them, "An enemy hath done this." The servant said unto him, "Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up?" But he said, "Nay, lest while ye gather up the tears, ye root up also the wheat with them." And then verse 30, "Let them let both grow together until the harvest. And in the time of harvest, I will say to the reapers, gather ye together first the tears, and bind them in bundles to burn them. but gather the wheat into my barn. So, this is a parable. Now, I didn't bring all the scriptures in here about all of this. But one of the thing you can do is go and read chapter 13 and get all of the in between stuff because it's going to kind of help you understand this a whole lot better. So, what you want to do is you want to look at uh what he's talking about. And he he goes into actually a few different parables that he's all all these parables are talking about the same thing the the same thing he's liking it to. He's saying this is what this is like and he's going to show you. So now I'm going to go start reading the scriptures where he's translating the parable to the disciples because the you know the disciples had asked him why are you speaking to them in parables and Jesus answers I give you the answer because to you is given the mystery the revelation of the word. Anytime that you and I are believers in the scripture we have the blessing of understanding what Jesus was trying to explain. Uh, I'll tell you this much. Theologians want to know. They can't know unless they got a relationship with Jesus. They won't understand this. It It's like there's a blinder in front of them and they can't understand it. But we're given the permission to understand. I have a relationship with the Lord. And in First John 4, it tells us to test the spirit. I declare that Jesus Christ is the son of God and that he came in the flesh and died on the cross for our sins and rose again three days later. That means I am of God. I walk with God. I work with God. I teach with God. So now that that is established, let us go and look at what Jesus was trying to explain here. Amen. So now the explanation comes because the disciples asked him to explain this parable. So now we're down in uh we're still in Matthew 13, but we're in verse 37. He answered and said to them, "He that sweth the good seed is the son of man." Now, I want you I'm going to break this down as we go scripture by scripture. Son of man. Who is the son of man? Jesus. Jesus is the son of God who entered into his creation and became a man. Now he is also the son of man. So Jesus has a body. He now died on the cross. He has a body. Before he became the son of man, he was the son of God and he was in spirit. He's the one who said, "Let there be light." And there was like back in Genesis, you can go read Genesis 1 1-4 and and John chapter 1:es 1 through 2 and it will tell you who Jesus was in the beginning and that he did become the son of man. So here he's saying that he's the one who's sewing the good seed. You see, he's the gospel. He is the embodiment of the word of God. Jesus is the word and he became the son of man, the light of the world. He brought us salvation. He's the one that chooses to forgive us because again, you know, when they when uh God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit got together and talked about the flood and deciding to use the flood, they found righteous man, one righteous man, Noah, and then his family was covered under that righteousness. God made a decision to continue and let the world continue to live on in spite of how bad sin got just before the flood because there was only one righteous man left when the flood happened and God called Noah righteous. So with that, he decided to keep going. That's amazing because in all reality there was so much sin. It was awful. It was bad. And he was down to one righteous man. Could he have converted anyone else? It sounds like no. So God had to make a decision here. You're going to see that decision made in this parable. I think this is fascinating because it's it's like, well, why did he decide to do that? Let's continue on. The field is the world. The good seed are the children of the kingdom. So the field is the world. That's every this whole wide world. Okay. And then the good seed are those of us who choose to believe in Jesus. We're the sons of the good seed. We are children of the kingdom. We are part of the kingdom of God. We're the one who walk with Christ in his authority by declaring the name of Jesus over whatever it is or declaring that Jesus is Lord over whatever the circumstance circumstances is are. I have done a lot of teaching on that. So he's identifying in this parable, you who are the good seed are the children of the kingdom. And then he says, but the tears are the children of the wicked one. There's a wicked one. And that means these are children who work wickedness, evil. They're just doing everything bad. They don't choose good, they choose bad. They're walking in unrighteousness. They are walking in sin. and to some deliberately walking that way. And he says the enemy that sowed them is the devil. So now you know that those that walk in wickedness are those who are children of the devil. They Jesus clearly is identifying who these people are. They are the children of the devil. Those of us that walk in truth, righteousness, and walk in with Christ, we're children of God. And big distinct difference between truth. You got two groups of people that are here. Says the harvest is the end of the world. So at the end of the world, we're going to be harvested. Righteous are going to be taken and separated. Evil is going to be taken and separated. And he goes into more detail about that. Look at this. The harvest is the end of the world and the reapers are the angels. So we know that the angels are going to come and they're going to reap. They're going to separate the tears, the evil from the good. Let's continue on. Verse 40. As therefore the tears are gathered and burned in the fire, so it shall be in the end of this world. Look at that. As therefore the tears are gathered and burned in the fire, so shall it be in the end of this world. Tears the evil ones. So once the the wheat grows, you can see a distinct difference between good wheat and bad wheat. Tears and wheat. The tears look different. They're going to be it it's an an uglier color. They're going to look older. They're weak. But Jesus had decided to let them both grow together. And they're here. So, the angels are going to come and separate them. Now, he didn't want to separate them right away. Watch. Let's let's continue reading because I want to get this all in here. The son of man shall send forth his angels. They shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend and them which do iniquity. So, they're going to come through and they're going to grab all the tears first. Uh they're going to grab all the the evil and they're going to separate. There is a separation that takes place here. You're going to have those that offend. Those are walking in sin. Sin is an offense. Also, sin is a separation from God. So, when you walk that way, you will be separated and you will be burned. You're going to see that here in just a moment. And the others are going to be separated and they're going to be light. Let's continue on. Says, "And shall cast them." And this is talking about the tears. The ones who have offended shall cast them into a furnace of fire. There shall be wailing and nashing of teeth. So let's pause here. So and remember this is a parable of a like of what God is saying is going to happen. Now he's saying there is a furnace that's going to burn up all of these evil people that are walking in offense. They did not turn their lives around. They did not repent. They did not choose good. They chose evil. If you're one of those that are watching this, it's now time to repent. And you need to do that and and turn your life around. You're going in the wrong direction. You're heading to a furnace. And it's very clear that this furnace exists. Hell is real. That is not a parable. It is a an actual location. And those who continue to sin will end up burning in hell lake of fire. It's not meant for you to go there. But you will go there because you're not choosing God. Because the only other choice you have is God. And if you're mad about that, too bad. He created you. He's your creator. And you need to humble yourself before him. Choose him because he is good. And if you choose goodness, you choose righteousness. you repent and say, "I rather walk with Jesus and acknowledge that he did come down on the cross and died for us, that he pardoned us, that he redeemed us, that he put his blood and paid for our sins." The moment you believe in that, your life changes and now you're on the good seed side. You are of good seed. So, you still have a chance to repent and become part of the good seed. I will tell you the end of the age is coming and it is coming very very quickly and there is a high probability and in fact I want to say 99.9% chance that this is going to happen in our lifetime. This is where we're headed. Uh as you can take a look at things that are going on in the world. You can take a look at what unbelievers and you can look at their the the way that they look at things. They're very um under a strong delusion and they choose to believe the lie over the truth. They're so confused. Satan does that. He's the author of confusion. So, he brings in all this confusion so that you wouldn't believe that God is God and that Jesus is the son of God. He does that to manipulate and lie to you. Well, Jesus is telling us this is what's going on. And he says, "There's an end that's coming and we're going to harvest and you're going to have to pull out the bad and you're going have to pull out the good and you're going to have to separate." The angels are going to do the separation. We're going to be separated. So the angels are going to have that's part of their job. Now might be not angels that come out and do messaging type of the word angel means messenger. Uh it's probably a heavenly creature that's very similar to what an angel is. uh we call them angels because that's the term we've used for them all these years because they are messengers from other worldly area the heavenly realm. Well, okay, now we're just we get to see that they have another job. Not just telling us a message, they're going to separate us. That's what Jesus is showing us in this parable. Let's continue on. Uh so there's going to be wailing and nashing of teeth. And look at verse 33. Then shall the righteous shine forth as the son in the kingdom of their father. Who hath ears to hear? Let him hear. Notice the sun. S U N. So this is a bright shining light. Then shall the righteous shine forth. So we're going to shine forth when we're separated. See the tears are darkness. They are a they darken everything around it. They mute everything. They dim everything around it. And right now, uh, where wheats and tears were muted, were dimmed. But the moment those tears are removed and separated from us, they're going to be burned in the fire, our light lights up even more. We become very bright, shining. This is those that are of the good seed. Now, this is a parable, but he's also explaining what's going to happen at the end of the age. Let's continue on and look at uh 1 John 3:7-10. Little children, let no man deceive or seduce you. He that doeth righteousness is righteous even as he is righteous, innocent, holy. You see, we have a decision to make. Do you want to be an evil tear or do you want to be a good seed of righteousness believing in the son of man, the son of God, Jesus, our holy savior? You have a choice. which way do you want to go? And for those of you who have been following for quite a while and you're a believer in Christ, we need to be urgent to let our loved ones, family members, friends who do not believe, we need to tell them what's coming. And if they continue to fight, that's between them. They're being deceived. They're being confused by the author of confusion, the devil, which I've already mentioned. He is confusing them. So they're deceived. So we the light need to keep exposing the lies. Continue to show them. Continue to pray for them and say, "Lord, save these people. Help them. Pray for them in the secret place." And what happens in the secret place? It gets shined or shown out in manifestation in the open. And that and and they know it. Your family will know when you're praying for them. They will know. I've seen it. I in my own family they know. So this is a time to humble yourself and get right with God. Spend some time with him. He is returning and he will be throwing those weed the excuse me the tears into the burning fire where there will be wailing and nashing of teeth. They're going to be so angry and in pain and they're going to think no we should not be. If you do not want to believe that Jesus Christ is our creator and son of God that came to die for us and pardon us, why should you be allowed into a place that you don't want to go to? See, your inside tells you you want to go there, but you don't want to follow the rules. It's like illegal immigration. You rather jump the wall and come into the goodness of everything. have the goodness but not pay the dues for the goodness. Did you know that heaven has walls? Yeah. So the nashing of teeth and wailing and the fire is outside of those walls. They can see in but they cannot touch. They cannot come in to get to heaven. Jesus says, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No man comes to the father except through me." You have to believe Jesus. Your name needs to be written in the the lamb's book of life. You have to have that. That's you paying your dues to say, "I rather enter into heaven and be there. I do not want to go to the lake of fire. I do not want to burn in the furnace. I'm not I don't want to be a wheat. I would ch I rather choose to be a child of righteousness." You know, Queen Victoria, she chose to be good. And she had a beautiful kingdom that lasted her a long time because she chose to do good. So when you choose to do good and you choose that you will have a beautiful life that the Lord will grant you. Yes, we know that the disciples and the apostles were all executed except for John um the beloved at the end. They were all beheaded or killed on the cross or you know they were martyed. But the here's the truth of the matter though. We have God's peace. You know, I've seen people walking uh through the news, just walking to go be martyed, singing hymns, praising the Lord. They're such a peace that is absolutely incredible. You see, it doesn't matter what happens in this world when you become a believer, when you choose to walk in righteousness, when you choose and finally understand the love of Jesus and what he did on the cross when he saved us. When you finally get that, it's nothing else matters. What matters is my eyes are fixed on my future where I'm going to be glorified in his presence at peace because I choose righteousness and I'm hoping to get as many tears converted to wheat as possible. This is why I do what I do. This is why I teach what I teach. Verse eight, he that committh sin offense is of the devil. For the devil sinnth from the beginning. For this purpose the son of God was manifested that he might destroy the works of the devil. You see, here's another point of what Jesus decided to do. You see, at the time of the flood, he could have stopped everything and said, "I'm done with man." But he loved us so much that he says, "You know what? I'm going to go be their redeemer and I'm going to get a human body male. And that's exactly what he did. He was born of a virgin and he came and he chose to do that to save. That was his choice. He decided to let us grow together and let every person have the choice like he did to decide which side do we want. Do we want to follow the devil or do we want to follow Jesus? That's what he decided. That was his decision at the time of destroy the world and just get rid of it and start over or do whatever else or shall he try to save it? He chose to save it. And I'm so grateful for that. Think of it. I wasn't born back then. I would not even be alive had he not made the decision to even wait 2,000 years after uh his crucifixion. I'm here because of him. Oh, hallelujah. Hallelujah. And it says here, "Whosoever is born," that word born there means procreate, regenerate of God, does not commit sin. For his seed remainth in him, and he cannot sin because he is born of God. You see the parable Jesus said, "The good seed is we're sons of the kingdom. We're children of his kingdom and we choose God." And that's the seed that remains in us. And we cannot sin because we are born of God now. We have changed. We are born of God. We're no longer a part of sin. Oh, hallelujah. Verse 10. In this, the children of God are manifest. We're shining. And notice, you know, here we are shining. We shine brighter than the tears that are around us. We're still muted. We're still dim, but we are shining brightly. And this is another thing is as soon as you start telling people about Jesus, they know the truth and they recognize it. Oh, hallelujah. In this, the children of God are manifest shining. And the children of the devil, whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother. You see, the fruit is going to tell us right away who you are. You don't love your brother. You want to hurt him. You're backstabbing him in whatever situation you can take. That tells us you don't believe in God. You're not a child of God at that point. As a child of God, we walk in good right standing. We do not want to hurt anyone. We want to save as many as we can. Oh, hallelujah. Let's go back to Matthew 13. Look at verses 51 and 52. Jesus saith unto them, "Have you understood all these things? Have you put it together? Have you comprehended?" They said unto him, "Yeah, Lord." This is very important to understand. Do you understand that there is an end of the age that is coming and there is going to be a separation of good and evil and that the evil is going to be put into a burning furnace and they're going to burn. There will be nashing and wailing of teeth and that the good is going to shine brightly because they've chosen Jesus as their son of God, as their believer, as their savior. That is very important that we understand. And if you understand it as a believer, you need to help others understand so that they're not deceived, uh, seduced by the devil, manipulated by the devil, not be, uh, under that strong delusion. We need to continue to one, pray in the spirit for them, and two, we need to be there for them to answer their questions because the Lord is working on them. They're thinking about it. Just we got to hope that they think about it quickly. Amen. And then look what he says here in verse 52. Then said he unto them, therefore every scribe which is instructed, that's a a pupil disciple unto the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is a householder which bringeth forth out of his treasure things new and old. Let me explain. That is like me taking up my calling to get as many saved as possible. I hope this word goes out there. I hope people listen to it, but I understand if they don't. I just pray and continue to pray and hope for these people to get saved. And I do my part of it. I try to teach it so that you understand. I try to explain it so that you know. And if you take a look at my life as an example and you go through the history of all the teaching, I got a lot of teachings in here from goes back from uh well I did uh written teaching back in 2013, but I started uh vlogging in 2017. So I've been doing this for a long time now. You can see the change the change that's happened within myself, the changes in my life. The Lord has blessed us richly. I choose God and I choose to walk with him and I hope that you do the same. I choose to put first God. You know, Matthew 6:33 says, "Seek first the kingdom of God." So, I'm seeking first by teaching. I want to make sure that uh you all hear the kingdom of God's message. You hear the word of God. You hear the pardon, the redemption because it's such treasure. Having Jesus is a beautiful treasure that I hold in my hands, but I don't want to keep it secret. I want to show you now. People are going to get jealous and angry because I'm holding on to this beautiful gem of redemption and it is blessing me because I am blessed richly because of it. Not just financial blessing, but at peace. I've got such a peace. I have such a solid rock of foundation on the name of Jesus and his salvation that I stand here and I can declare the name of Jesus and know that he is there with me in everything. I hold hands with him. I talk with him. He talks to me through his word. I hear it. This is a blessing. So seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness. I choose be right standing. I choose to walk in the goodness. I don't want to walk in evil. I don't want to be a wheat that or a tear that's pulled out and burned in a furnace. No, I choose God. I choose his righteousness. And then says Matthew 6:33 to finish the scripture. All these things will be added unto you. The whole scripture reads, "Seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added into you. This is why I can walk in peace. This is why I can stand here and know that I'm healed. know that I'm delivered and know that I have no enemies coming after me that will prevail because when they try to attack, I quote the scripture. No, the gates of hell will not prevail against the church and I'm part of the church. That's how I know where I stand. And I pray over myself every day. I pray over every person I am praying. I'm in constant prayer because I choose good righteousness. I am of the good seed and I hope that you are of the good seed as well and that you procreate. Let your seed, Jesus seed, continue to fall around you. Let that word manifest and let's grow and bring more fruit and bring more harvest in so that they're not going to the furnace. Amen. Amen. Let's close in a word of prayer. Father God, we thank you for your word and we bless your word. Lord Jesus, I just pray that people hear this word. Even read it. Just read it. They don't have to listen to my message. I just pray that they read it, understand it, and see and know that you are the son of God. That you have redeemed us. And I ch I pray that they choose to walk with you and that they choose to become part of the good seed that you have offered us. Lord, thank you. Thank you for your word. Let it not uh let us not forget it. Let us hold and cling on to it and let us have the urgency to share that word with others. 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

WHAT A CHRISTIAN FIGHTS AGAINST - PART 2 The objective of this lesson is to help believers understand the deeper realities of the Christian battle described in Ephesians 6:12, moving beyond the struggle against flesh and blood to confront powers, rulers of darkness, and spiritual wickedness in high places. By examining Scripture, we will learn who these powers are, their limitations under God’s authority, and how Jesus Christ has already triumphed over them through the cross. This teaching aims to equip Christians with the knowledge that light always overcomes darkness, that spiritual authority is found in Christ, and that victory is secured by putting on the whole armor of God, seeking His kingdom first, and standing firm in prayer and faith. WHAT A CHRISTIAN FIGHTS AGAINST - PART 2 Minister Lisa Kane October 1, 2025 Objective: The objective of this lesson is to help believers understand the deeper realities of the Christian battle described in Ephesians 6:12, moving beyond the struggle against flesh and blood to confront powers, rulers of darkness, and spiritual wickedness in high places. By examining Scripture, we will learn who these powers are, their limitations under God’s authority, and how Jesus Christ has already triumphed over them through the cross. This teaching aims to equip Christians with the knowledge that light always overcomes darkness, that spiritual authority is found in Christ, and that victory is secured by putting on the whole armor of God, seeking His kingdom first, and standing firm in prayer and faith. Synopsis: In What a Christian Fights Against – Part 2, Minister Lisa Kane continues unpacking Ephesians 6:12 by exploring the believer’s struggle against powers, rulers of darkness, and spiritual wickedness in high places. Through passages in Romans, Colossians, and the Gospels, this teaching shows that while earthly and spiritual authorities exist, their power is limited under God and cannot separate us from His love. Jesus Christ has already disarmed principalities and powers, triumphing over them at the cross, and through Him we are made complete and victorious. Darkness is overcome by walking in the light, and spiritual wickedness is defeated by seeking God first, guarding our hearts, and putting on the whole armor of God. This message calls believers to prayer, perseverance, and steadfast faith in Christ, knowing that through Him, we overcome. Inspired Teaching - Written and/or Transcribed from Video Above: Ephesians 6:12 KJV 12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. In part 1, I spoke on how we don’t fight against flesh and blood but that we do fight against principalities. Now, let’s continue in Ephesians 6:12 – ‘against powers’. We fight against powers. I have some questions…who and what are these powers, and how do we fight against them? Romans 13:1 KJV Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God. According to Strong’s Hebrew/Greek Dictionary – Power (exousia / ex-oo-see'-ah in Greek) in Romans 13:1 means: From G1832 (in the sense of ability); privilege, that is, (subjectively) force, capacity, competency, freedom, or (objectively) mastery (concretely magistrate, superhuman, potentate, token of control), delegated influence: - authority, jurisdiction, liberty, power, right, strength. Powers are those in authority, and according to Romans 13:1, the powers that be are ordained by God. Even though they are in authority under God, they have limitations. For example, they do not have authority to separate us from the love of God. Romans 8:38-39 KJV 38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, 39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. Colossians 2:9-15 KJV 9 For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. 10 And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power: 11 In whom also ye are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ: 12 Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead. 13 And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses; 14 Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross; 15 And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it. Did you see in verse 2 of Colossians chapter 2? We are complete in Him, and He is the head of all principality and powers. In verse 12 and 13, we’re buried with Him in His baptism and we’re dead to sin. He took all of the principalities and powers and nailed them to His cross according to verse 14, in essence nullifying these principalities and powers. So, through Jesus, we overcome the principalities and powers that are subject to God. Continuing in Ephesians 6:12 KJV 12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Next, we fight against rulers of the darkness of this world. John 1:5 KJV 5 And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not. Darkness consist of the things that are against God but the moment we accept Jesus as our Lord and savior, we overcome the darkness, just like we overcome the principalities and powers. 1 John 1:7 KJV 7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin. Colossians 1:12-14 KJV 12 Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light: 13 Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son: 14 In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins: Light exposes the darkness. We fight against darkness by shining our light into the world. Matthew 5:14 KJV 14 Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. We stand with Jesus, and we defeat the darkness. Continuing in Ephesians 6:12 KJV 12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. The last item in Ephesians 6:12 that we fight against are spiritual wickedness in high places. A high place, lofty or haughty is the center of your being. What is most important to you? Money, prestige, self? How do you fight against this? Ephesians 6:10-11 KJV 10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. 11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. Psalm 51:10 KJV 10 Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me. Romans 10:9 KJV 9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. The theme throughout Ephesians 6:12 is to put Jesus in our lives first and then we overcome. We overcome by simply aligning ourselves with Jesus. Matthew 6:33 KJV 33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. As you can see from Romans 10:9 and Matthew 6:33, speak Jesus as Lord over your soul, spirit, and body. Seek His Kingdom first and His Righteousness second, and you will overcome. Ask God to change your heart and be clean like David did. Take that armor, pray and stand. Ephesians 6:10-18 KJV 10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. 11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. 13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. 14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; 15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; 16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. 17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: 18 Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints; Pray. Pray fervently. Keep our eyes fixed on Jesus and we overcome through Him. Colossians 3:2 KJV 2 Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. Colossians 3:17 KJV 17 And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him. Philippians 2:10 KJV 10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; Place Jesus first in your life and you overcome through Jesus, and this is what and how we fight as believers in Christ. The question I have for you is ‘do you believe’? When we believe, we overcome. Previous Next Home

SEARCHING FOR THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOD To teach believers how to diligently seek, receive, and apply the Word of God as their greatest treasure, so they may understand the fear of the Lord, walk in His wisdom, and obtain the knowledge that guards, directs, and transforms their lives. SEARCHING FOR THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOD Minister Lisa Kane September 3, 2025 Objective: To teach believers how to diligently seek, receive, and apply the Word of God as their greatest treasure, so they may understand the fear of the Lord, walk in His wisdom, and obtain the knowledge that guards, directs, and transforms their lives. Synopsis: This message, based on Proverbs 2:1–12, unpacks the biblical process of discovering the knowledge of God. It begins with receiving and confessing God’s Word, as Romans 10:9 affirms, and continues by treasuring His commands within the heart. Believers are called to incline their ears to wisdom, apply their hearts to understanding, and cry out for knowledge with the same passion as one who seeks hidden treasures. The teaching emphasizes that when God’s Word is sought and hidden like precious silver, it brings divine covering and separation from the world’s snares (Psalm 91:1). This pursuit leads to understanding the fear of the Lord and finding His knowledge, which becomes a lamp to our path (Psalm 119:105). With wisdom entering the heart, discretion and understanding preserve the believer, delivering them from evil influences and guiding them in righteousness, judgment, and every good path. Ultimately, the message calls believers to make God’s Word their highest priority—treating it as a treasure—so they may walk under His covering, avoid the traps of the enemy, and live in the awareness and authority of God’s presence. Inspired Teaching - Written and/or Transcribed from Video Above: Opening scripture: Proverbs 2:5 KJV 5 Then shalt thou understand the fear of the Lord, and find the knowledge of God. Notice the first word in this verse, ‘then’. What must we do to understand the fear of the Lord and to find His knowledge. Let’s start at verse 1: Proverbs 2:1 My son, if thou wilt receive my words, and hide (hoard, reserve) my commandments with thee; The Holy Bible is the Words of God. In order to understand them, you need to receive them. How do you receive them? By confessing and acknowledging them as Romans 10:9 tells us. Romans 10:9 KJV 9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. We can see a pattern in Proverbs 2. First, receive, then hide or hoard/reserve those words. How do you hide or hoard/reserve the words in the Bible? By spending time reading the Words of God asking God out loud what do they mean. Proverbs 2:2 KJV 2 So that thou incline (to prick the ears, hearken, attend) thine ear unto wisdom, and apply (stretching or spreading out) thine heart (feelings, intellect) to understanding; When we receive, confess His Words, then hide them, we are inclining or paying attention to those words and applying (stretching or spreading out) to our heart or feelings and thoughts that lean towards understanding. He continues in Proverbs 2:3-4 KJV 3 Yea, if thou criest after knowledge (understanding), and liftest up thy voice for understanding (intelligence, reason); 4 If thou seekest (strive after) her as silver, and searchest (hide self) for her as for hid treasures; The author of this proverb tells us more about how to cry out and seek after His Words. He tells us to ‘strive after her as silver’. If you found a hoard of silver, the first thing you do is don’t tell anyone. The next thing is that you start to sell it quietly. And you do this with silver, gold or any special treasure you find. You hide it from others because others will then become jealous and possibly try to kill you. His Word is like a treasure that we need to seek, find, and hide in our hearts. THEN… Proverbs 2:5 KJV 5 Then shalt thou understand (separate mentally) the fear (morally reverence) of the Lord, and find (attain) the knowledge (awareness) of God. Here, back at our opening scripture, this is where we find understanding of God. We separate ourselves from the way the world operates and operate through His Words spiritually. To do this, we do this by faith with works. Psalm 91:1 KJV He that dwelleth in the secret place (covering) of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. The way to show faith is by action. Action is when you take time to read His Words. Get to know His Words and apply His Words. And you do this in the secret place or another way to say this, this is where you put on God’s covering over yourself. Once the separation from the world takes place and you are under His covering, then you become aware of God. You obtain His knowledge over you. Yes, His knowledge. You start to see things differently and He keeps you from fall for the pitfalls laid as a trap for you. Proverbs 28:10 KJV 10 Whoso causeth the righteous to go astray in an evil way, he shall fall himself into his own pit: but the upright shall have good things in possession. In essence, His Word is: Psalm 119:105 KJV 105 Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path. As you continue in Proverbs 2:9-12 KJV: 9 Then shalt thou understand righteousness, and judgment, and equity; yea, every good path. 10 When wisdom entereth into thine heart, and knowledge is pleasant unto thy soul; 11 Discretion shall preserve thee, understanding shall keep thee: 12 To deliver thee from the way of the evil man, from the man that speaketh froward things; You become delivered from the way of the evil man. The way the world operates, which is done through manipulation and sin you avoid because His Words are your treasure. Seek His Word as the priority of your life because then you become aware of God in your life and you will know He is Lord. Previous Next Home

JUDGEMENT: BELIEVER VS UNBELIEVER The objective of this teaching is to explain the biblical doctrine of judgment, contrasting how believers and unbelievers will be judged by God according to Scripture. The message seeks to clarify misunderstandings regarding death, the rapture, and the final judgment, while encouraging believers to cultivate a true relationship with Christ and invest in their eternal future through faith and works. JUDGEMENT: BELIEVER VS UNBELIEVER Minister Lisa Kane August 28, 2024 Objective: The objective of this teaching is to explain the biblical doctrine of judgment, contrasting how believers and unbelievers will be judged by God according to Scripture. The message seeks to clarify misunderstandings regarding death, the rapture, and the final judgment, while encouraging believers to cultivate a true relationship with Christ and invest in their eternal future through faith and works. Synopsis: In this teaching, Lisa Kaine opens with Revelation 20:15, emphasizing the eternal consequences for those whose names are not written in the Book of Life. She explains the concept of judgment after death, distinguishing between the believer’s judgment at the Bema Seat of Christ and the unbeliever’s judgment at the Great White Throne. Drawing from Hebrews 9:27–28, she addresses the apparent contradiction of individuals like Enoch and Elijah who never died, connecting them to prophetic roles in Revelation as potential witnesses. The teaching explores how rapture, though instantaneous, can also be understood as a form of death, aligning with Paul’s declaration that all are appointed to die once. For believers, judgment is not about salvation but about works—the quality of their lives tested by fire (1 Corinthians 3). Precious works will endure as jewels and rewards, while empty deeds will be burned away. Believers are urged to live as God’s temple, maintaining a true relationship with Him rather than settling for superficial devotion. In contrast, unbelievers will face the Great White Throne judgment (Revelation 20:11–15). Their names not found in the Book of Life will result in condemnation and eternal separation from God in the lake of fire. Even those who considered Jesus merely a prophet or lived by “good works” apart from faith will be judged according to what was engraved in the books. The message closes with a call to salvation through Jesus Christ, affirming His atoning work on the cross and offering the sinner’s prayer as a step toward eternal life. The overarching theme is God’s mercy and grace, urging listeners to secure their eternal future by faith in Christ and by living in obedience and service to Him. Inspired Teaching - Written and/or Transcribed from Video Above: Hello and welcome to the House of Faith Ministries. I'm Lisa Kaine. I'm recording this message on Wednesday, August 28th, 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 and that we hear your word, apply your word and that you just move aside any um any offense to this word or any issues that is keeping us from applying this word and living it the way that you showed us in scripture. How to apply it, how to live it, how to know where we're going to go in our eternity, how we're going to be judged. And I thank you for the knowledge and your word that you've given us for this. We can look at our future. We can invest in our future. Thank you in the name of Jesus. Amen. Amen. God bless you. Welcome. Glad you are here. Let's go to our opening scripture. The title of this message is called judgment, believer versus unbeliever. Our opening scripture will be found in Revelation 20:15. And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire. Now, as a reminder, when I teach, and I put the scripture up on the screen here, the bolded words are the original words the King James translators used when they translated into English back in the I think as early as 1400s. Then the words in parentheses are not in scripture, but they are in the Hebrews Greek Strong dictionary as other words this word could have meant. So, I add those extra words in there for us to see a bigger, deeper picture of what the translators were working with. It really kind of opens up the scriptures. Take a look at it again. And whosoever was not written or engraved. I love it. It now the king um strong says engraved, but it means engraving. It's an engraving u like a uh you engrave glass and it's kind of permanent. See how when you look at a different meaning of it, it gives you a better understanding of that scripture. Engraved in the book of life was cast or thrown into the lake of fire. You ever see those TVs where they're kicking the guy out and they just throw him out the door? Well, that's the visual that we get from that. So, judgment um judgment has a to do with after death. Once you die, you will be judged. And that's what I'm going to be talking about today. The purpose of this teaching is to show you how you will be judged by God as a believer or judged by God as an unbeliever. And so we're going to see the difference of the two. And I'm going to take an interesting different appro approach to this because we're dealing with death once after you die. And a lot of people have issues because when you have the scriptures telling you about um after death and then there's certain people that didn't die, they have issues. So, I want to reveal a mystery that I have already taught on before, but I'm going to add it on to this teaching because I think it's very applicable and I'm hoping to diffuse um this false teaching of, you know, um especially a concept about the rapture stuff. So, I really want to deal with that. So, let's go to Hebrews. Hebrews 9 27 and 28. And as it is appointed or to be reserved, you're waiting unto men once to die. They see as you live your life, you're waiting to die because eventually you're going to die. Everybody has to die. Watch this. But after this, the judgment, which that word judgment there means tribunal, accusation, condemnation, damnation. You're you're dealing with the accusations. You're being judged. And that's what that word judgment means. Verse 28. So Christ anointed once was once offered to bear or to take up the sins of many. And unto them that look for him shall he appear the second or again time without sin unto salvation. The word salvation there is rescue safety deliver health. Now let's go back to the beginning in verse 27. And as it is appointed unto men wants to die. Paul makes a very bold statement understanding that he is very well taught in the Torah. He had spent three years in the wilderness researching, spending time with God, in order to understand grace for the um Gentiles, you and I, non-Jewish people. And so God gave him that ministry to establish the New Testament in general. So that's what Paul had done. So for him to say, "For all men are appointed to die once," he had to have known Enoch never died. Elijah never died. they, you know, let's go look at everyone who has who hasn't died because I think that's very important. Now, I'm not going to mention MelkiseDC as one of these. He has no beginning, he has no end. So, some people think, well, there's a person who never died. Well, since he has no beginning, he has no end. He actually represents God. There is and and God is infinity. He's always been there and he will always be there. So you cannot apply Melkisedc as to well he never died because he was never born either. So you have to look at it from that perspective. Okay. So but there are four people who have never died that are written in the scripture. Some of you probably thought I was going to say two. Let's go through all four of them. We have Enoch. You can go to Genesis 5:24. We have Elijah. You can go look at 2 Kings 2:11. You have Dayan and Abberam. And they're in number 1633. So now because Paul is clearly saying that everyone's appointed to die once if these men had never died then what? Very interesting right? This is why I wanted to come in at this approach to deal with judgment. So now Enoch and Elijah are two people who never died. Now there are two witnesses that are not named. We don't know who they are, but they're mentioned in Revelation, and they come and appear at the beginning of the seven-year time period of God's wrath. They are there with 144,000. They're calling fire down from heaven, plagues on the men. They're killing people who attack them. They will die after three and a half years, and their bodies will lay in um the ground for three and a half days. You can go see that in Revelation. So, all right. Is it possible that Enoch and Elijah could be those two? Some say it's Moses. But remember, Jude talks about an argument or a dispute, not an argument, a dispute between Michael the Archangel and the devil over the body of Moses. Well, that means Moses died because it's his body that they're dealing with. So, we are definitely seeing um something interesting. So those two witnesses, if you want to go find find out about them dying, they're in Revelation 11:9 in essence fulfilling Hebrews 9:27. Now remember, there's two others, Dayan and Abber. Now you can go find them in number 16. And there's something very interesting about this. Moses is is so what Nate Nathan and Abarim are doing. They're calling out Moses for being the leader. They want to be the leader. They they're like, "You're not being the leader." So Moses says, "Come up here. We're going to talk about it before God." They said, "No, they actually rebelled against." So Moses and everybody else in the camp went to their tent, um Nathan and Abraham's tent, and Moses says, "Well, if I do something uh different here, or if God does something different here, like kill them but not kill them in a way." In other words, um they don't die of what's the norm to die, then um I'm for God and I am here because of God. So that's exactly what happened. The earth swallowed up. Day and Abraham, them and their family were taken to the pit alive. Now we have what's called the prophet and the beast. You can go see them in Revelation 16 and 17. Now I want you to notice something. They're cast alive into the lake of fire. Revelation 19:20. But I thought everyone needed to die. When you die, you are judged by fire. So, we're going to see that Dayan and Abberam were judged already by fire by being swallowed up by the pit. So, they were already judged. And in because they were already judged, they were thrown into the lake of fire alive. Thus fulfilling what Paul said that all men are appointed to die at least once. But then what about the rapture? Rapture, is that a death? You'll find content about the rapture in 1 Thessalonians 4:17. It says those that are alive are going to c be caught up to meet the Lord in the clouds. So, and of course, the dead rises first and then those alive are uh changed in a twinkling of an eye. Well, Paul talks about absent from the body, present with the Lord. We're going to see that scripture here in 2 Corinthians very soon. But I want you to see that as you're you're out of your body, you're in the presence of the Lord as a believer. And rapture is for the believers. So that is also a form of death. It just happens instantaneously. I doubt we even feel it. Isn't that lovely? So Paul's telling the truth here and that's what I wanted to make sure that we understood as we're looking at these scriptures so that there is no misconception or understand or misunderstanding about God's judgment. Okay. So let's go to Revelation or excuse me Romans 14:10 and 11. But why doesust thou judge? That word judge there is to distinguish, decide, try, condemn, punish thy brother. or why dust thou set at not or contemptable despise thy brother? For we shall all stand before the judgment seat. That word judgment seat in the Greek word is beimma. You're going to hear a lot of theologians talk about the beimma judgment seat. And you'll hear that term. Well, that's what this word means. Beimma. It's a Greek word in the Greek. It means beimma. And it's just simply a step a foot breath. Tribunal of Christ is what it is. Verse 11. For it is written, there it is engraved again. As I live, sayaith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me and every tongue shall confess to God. And and that confess means to acknowledge and agree with. So here we now know everybody's going to be judged. Very simple, very truthful. That's what's happening here. Everybody is going to stand before God and face judgment. Now let's see how this is work because now we are looking at a believer and a non-believer and how does God distinguish between the two. So let's talk about a believer's judgment. So let's go to 2 Corinthians 5 6-10. Therefore we are always confident knowing that whilst we are at home in the body we are absent from the Lord. Earlier I was talking about it. when you are absent from the body, you are present in the Lord as a believer. So, we're talking about a believer's judgment. Verse seven, for we walk by faith, not by sight. And I really want to address this here for a moment because as a believer in Christ, you take what the scripture says in Romans 10:13, anyone who calls upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. And then you have Romans 10:9 says that if you confess with your mouth Jesus is Lord and believe with your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. That makes you a believer. That's where you become a believer. You don't even have to be baptized. Remember the thief on the cross? You don't have to be baptized. You become a believer at that very moment. Which means now you're going to be judged. Not be whether you believe or not because you've already called on his name. You're going to be judged by the works that you do as a believer. And I'm gonna tell you right now, there's a lot of casual Christians out there. And if you're a casual Christian, you may find the results not to your liking. So, let's continue on. Let's look at it. Verse eight. We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent or vacate or quit from the body to be present with the Lord. Let's continue on here to verse nine. Wherefore we labor, that whether present or absent, we may be accepted of him. For we must all appear before the judgment, sea, there's that beimma again, of Christ, that everyone may receive the things done in his body according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad. So now we're we're beginning to understand something here. We're seeing that we're going to be judged by what is in our body. Now remember and what we do with our body as a believer of Christ, our bodies are the temple of God. Let's go look at 1 Corinthians 3:11-17. For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ. Now if any man build upon his foundation, gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble, every man's work shall be made manifest. For the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire, and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is. If any man's work abide, which he hath built there upon, he shall receive a reward or be paid for service. If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss, but he himself shall be saved. Yet so as by fire, or that word fire there means lightning also. Verse 16, know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the spirit of God dwelleth in you? If any man defile, look at this, that word defile means to pine or waste the temple of God, him shall God destroy, shrivel, wither, ruin, for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are. So, I want you to understand something that's going on here as a believer of Christ. So your body is a temple and God is expecting you to enter your temple and have that temple be there for him to be there. So you and him have a relationship with one another. And when you have your relationship, what happens? You begin to hear God and you begin to understand God's agenda, what he's doing. and you begin to change your life in such a way because change happens to you. He's perfect. We're not. So, as you spend more time with God, his perfection begins to work and transform and change you. And suddenly, you're going to find yourself doing things you ordinarily wouldn't do because you're aware. It's like, you know what? I God wants me to talk to that person over there. Let me go do that. and and especially when you do it under obedience and under humility. Remember Moses getting the Ten Commandments. He brought the people to the temple because God told him to bring them. And then God says, "Don't let them cross the line." But Moses was the example. God spoke to Moses and Aaron directly. He didn't speak to the people directly because they didn't have a relationship with God. But they could have. Moses and Aaron did. Now, God called them to be, but I'm sure somebody was asking to speak to the Lord or to come up to him and or even to say, "Hey, Lord, I just want to shake your hand because I'm grateful for who you are and what you do." My hunch is that God would have met that and that person would have had a great relationship. You can look at David as an example who is a who had the heart after God. Oh, you see this is where this relationship now gets to be judged, measured. Did you notice what it said? It's going to it's like you're once you're absent from the body and you're going to be standing there. I don't know when this happens, by the way. I just know that it does. You're going to have a pile of stuff right there in front of you. It's going to have precious stone, silver, gold, the helmet of salvation, gold, all that is going to be there. See, you got saved. You already have a crown and it's priceless and it will not be burned by fire. Everything, stubble, hay, that's all going to be burned fire by fire. See, the fire is what's going to get you through. And when you get to the other side, what's left of your pile, you know, gossiping, all that will be burned away because that's considered hay, stubble. But when you instead of gossip, you call up somebody and say, "I'm here to pray with you. Can we pray? Let's pray. And do you need help? Let me go to your house. I'll help you. I will do this for you. Let me go get you a bag of groceries. Let me go do this. Let me bring you a meal. Let me you see that is now where you're earning your service, your payment for service that you will get as a believer when you're judged and everything is burned down. That's what's left is what transformed you, what you changed into. That's and you're going to change into this precious stone. I think it's Malachi where God says, "I will wear you like a gem, a jewel on my clothing." That is going to be awesome. But we have to get there. So what we do now is going to affect them. We have to invest in our eternal future. This is why it's so important to have the relationship. You know, just doing a simple daily devotional is not the same as having a relationship with God because there's things you need to hear and be attentive to. End time prophecy, for example, Jesus says to watch. Well, how can you watch if he says you're not going to know the day nor the hour? But see, when you are watching, because you're being obedient to him, whether you understand it or not, he begins to reveal little things to you, and you begin to understand a little more as each day goes by. That's what is in us. So, our works as a believer are going to be judged against fire. Whatever is not consumed by the fire is what we will receive payment for. That is incredible. So, let's continue on. I want you to see now we're going to go to Revelation uh 20 11 through 12. And I saw a great white throne. So, let me put this into perspective of where we're at at this great white throne. This is after a thousand years. So, as we know, there's a day coming called the day of the Lord. And that's going to trigger a seven-year time period of God's wrath. He's going to pour out the the seven seals, the trumpets, the BS. Those are going to pour out. Uh it's his wrath. It's going to pour out on that generation, those people. Now, I believe that generation is us. I don't know when it's going to happen, but I do know that it's coming. It's been prophesied. And I do know that you need to receive grace now. Don't wait to get there because we don't know how you have to believe in Christ. I do know that there are seven thunders that are going to speak. They're going to tell the world how to get saved. So, you're going to have to face that when you get there. Now, at the end of that seven-year time period, it says that men will be finer than o for gold. Okay? I don't know what o for gold is, but it must be very rare. And if you go back and you look in the days of Noah, which Jesus said it' be like the days of Noah, you will find that only four couples survived the flood. And God repopulated the earth with those three couples. You had Noah and his wife. They already had their three sons. They came across survived in the ark. And then the three sons had wives and they begin to have children. And they repopulated the earth from that point on. Well, at the seven-year time period, whoever survives that, again, it could be just three couples, who knows? But that that those people are going to repopulate the earth. Now, God is going to lock the devil up for that thousand years. The devil cannot interfere in that uh thousand-year reign. So, for a thousand years, there's going to be repopulated. Those that were martyed in in the name of Christ are going to be the ones judging this people, uh managing them, ruling over them. They're going to be the um the rulership over them. And these are the people that be risen with their uh new bodies. This is the first resurrection. They're going to cover this thousand-y year millennium. Well, at the end of that thousand year, God is going to release the devil again. And once he's loosed, he's going to gather everybody. He's going to deceive as many people as he can. They're going to gather again and Gog and Magog. And here comes Jesus doing the exact same thing. And he's going to just pull out the devil. He's going to throw him into the lake of fire. And then this white throne judgment takes place. Now, this white throne judgment is for the non-believers. Let's go take a look at this. Says, "And I saw a great white throne and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away, and there was no there was found no place for them. Heaven and earth is gone." Understand this. This is just a little extra golden nugget I'm going to throw out here. Heaven and earth is going to pass away. You can do all the recycling you want. You can plant all the trees you want. I promise you it's not going to change the prophecy. It is prophetic. Heaven and earth shall pass away. Now, it doesn't mean you don't need to do your part. Pick up your trash, throw your trash away, but it does mean you don't have to follow this green earth agenda. We got to save the earth because it's going to pass away. Understand? See? See? If you're spending time with the Lord in a relationship with the Lord, you would know this and you would not fall for that kind of teaching. That's a false ideology. Amen. Verse 12. And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God, and the books were opened, and another book was open, which is the book of life. And the dead were judged. Now, see, remember, we're absent from the body, present with the Lord, were alive in Christ. Everybody who dies without their without having their name written in the book of life, they died. They're going straight to hell because they did not make it. They come back out of hell, though. And you saw right here in verse 11, um, no, I have the scripture for it, but we're going to see that in just a moment where Hades and hell is going to give up their dead. We're going to see them give it up. That's the people that died without Christ. So, what you're seeing here is the dead. Take a look at this. and the dead were judged, distinguish, decide, tried, condemn, punish out of those things which were written, engraved in the books, according to their works, toil, and act. This is pretty incredible now. And I really want you to see how this works. You are now seeing how God is showing that I'm going to judge you. This is scriptural. He is here to judge. So even if you're evil and and let me give you an idea of how this is going to look like and we'll read the additional scriptures here in just a moment. Let's say somebody says, "Well, I never heard that and nobody ever told me that." You see the those of us alive, we're with Christ. We will be there in that white throne judgment. And then all these people that are dead and they're saying to God, "I never told." Guess what? The people that are alive, the ones that did tell that person, they're going to speak up. They're gonna say, "Hey, I I told them about that on such and such day." And the Lord will have all of it written in the books there. It will be validated. So, these dead are now being judged. They were in hell. They brought back out. They're being judged. And they're going to now go back into the cast uh into the lake of fire. They're going to be cast into that lake of fire because now he's showing them the proof of why you end up where you did. And for those that went all dramatic and crazy and cursed God and blaspheming him, well, they're probably not going to be shocked. The ones that are going to be shocked are the ones that, oh yeah, that Jesus, he's a good guy. I think he's a good guy. I mean, he's okay. Um, I think he was just a prophet, though. I don't think he's the son of God. That's the people that are going to be shocked because they're going to be standing there going, "I don't deserve this. I did the best I could. I was as good as I could be." Jesus says, "But I don't know who you are." That's what this judgment is about. Let's go on to verse uh 13, 14, and 15. And the sea gave up the dead which were in it. This is what I was referring to earlier. And death and hell delivered gave up the dead which were in them. And they were judged, every man according to the works. and death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. So death and hell is now gone. They're the ones who's been holding all of these people in hell all this time. They're gone cuz God put them in hell. They're there. So, uh, however they were holding them, whether it was a lake of fire or someplace else, and now they're going in a lake of fire, that's probably what it is. And I don't know the difference of all of that, but that's okay. We're following the scripture, just letting the Lord reveal to us what's going on. So death and hell are cast in the lake of fire. This is the second death. And who and here's our opening scripture. Whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire. So after they were judged, what is the ultimate thing is their names were not found in the written? They were not found written or engraved in the book of life because they didn't believe that Jesus is the son of God. You see, earlier we went to the scripture where it showed us that Jesus died for us and what he did. And I really like that because I want you to see how he did this. See if I can find the scripture again off the top of my head. What Jesus did. Let's see here. Ah, yes. Yes. Yes. Here we are. Here we are. Go to Hebrews again in verse 28. So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many. You see Jesus Christ is the son of God. He's the perfection. He came down as a man. He went to the cross. He took our sins on his behalf. Died carrying them and then rose from the grave three days later. That's our Jesus. That's what he did. He is the son of God. And because he did that and those of us that choose to believe, he saved us. So, we get to go be in eternal heaven with God and Jesus because we choose to believe what he did. He pardoned us. Do I deserve it? No. But since Jesus paid the price, I can accept it. That is what you can do too. That's what this is all about. And by accepting him, what are you doing? You're investing in your eternal life. Now, once you accept him, go serve. Have the relationship. Let the relationship be established. And he's going to call you to do things. And guess what? Every time you go to do something for Christ and a little of you get poured out and you feel like you're getting weary, you come back in your relationship with Christ and guess what? You refreshed, renewed. Your cup fillth over again. That is your relationship with Christ. That is where you're going to be judged by your works. Now, remember though, if you decide not to do anything, at least you will be saved by fire. What's the saying? You're you're saved by the little hair on your chinny chin chin or by the skin of your teeth. You made it by fire. You made it. You got the crown of salvation. Why? But this is how merciful God is. This is He's so merciful. He said, "Anyone who calls upon the name of the Lord shall be saved." Anyone. And he says that a minimum of three times. I think it's four times, but you got Romans 10:13, Joel 2:32, and Acts 2:21. You can go look it up. Amen. Let's close in a word of prayer. And uh why don't you repeat this prayer with me? Let's do the sinner's prayer. Let's pray it and let's just establish the firm foundation of Jesus so that we can start having that relationship and move forward in that relationship with Christ. Amen. Repeat after me. Dear Jesus, I ask you to come into my heart and forgive me of my sins. I messed up and I need your help. I need your redemption because I know you're going to judge me. And I hope that what survives of the fire is worthy, not just getting saved by the fire. Thank you, Lord. I love you in the name of Jesus. Amen. Amen. Amen. God bless you. I will see you in the next message. Bye-bye. Previous Next Home

PRE, MID, POST TRIBULATION RAPTURE: DOES IT MATTER? The purpose of this teaching is to explore the biblical question of the pre-, mid-, or post-tribulation rapture and determine whether the timing truly matters. More importantly, it emphasizes the urgency of salvation, encouraging believers to proclaim the gospel so that others may avoid the seven-year period of God’s wrath described in the book of Revelation. PRE, MID, POST TRIBULATION RAPTURE: DOES IT MATTER? Minister Lisa Kane May 17, 2025 Objective: The purpose of this teaching is to explore the biblical question of the pre-, mid-, or post-tribulation rapture and determine whether the timing truly matters. More importantly, it emphasizes the urgency of salvation, encouraging believers to proclaim the gospel so that others may avoid the seven-year period of God’s wrath described in the book of Revelation. Synopsis: Lisa Kane, speaking for House of Faith Ministries, opens with prayer and introduces the teaching titled “Pre-Mid-Post-Tribulation Rapture: Does It Matter?” (1 Thessalonians 5:9). She stresses that while debates about rapture timing continue, the central truth is that believers are not appointed to God’s wrath and should focus on spreading the message of salvation. The teaching examines prophetic passages in Revelation, highlighting the severity of the tribulation—such as demonic torment during the trumpet judgments—and contrasts this with God’s consistent pattern of delivering the righteous before judgment, as seen in the days of Noah and Lot. Drawing from Abraham’s intercession in Genesis and Paul’s “mystery” of transformation in 1 Corinthians 15, the lesson argues for a pre-tribulation rapture, underscoring God’s justice and mercy. Ultimately, the message insists that speculation over timing should not overshadow the greater call: to share the gospel urgently. Salvation is free now, and those who call on the name of Jesus Christ will be saved (Romans 10:9, 13). The teaching closes with a sinner’s prayer, inviting listeners to accept Christ today rather than risk facing the horrors of God’s wrath. Inspired Teaching - Written and/or Transcribed from Video Above: Hello and welcome to the House of Faith Ministries. I'm Lisa Kane and I'm recording this teaching on Saturday, May 17, 2025. Welcome. Let's open up in a word of prayer. Father God, we thank you for your word. We thank you for your revelation and we pray that the audience who is listening, their hearts and minds are receiving what the Holy Spirit is showing them. And I pray that they grab a hold of this teaching and don't let it go and show their family, show their friends, show their neighbors why we need to get saved quickly here and now because we don't want to live during that seven-year time period of your wrath when you pour it out on this earth. So, Father God, I thank you for teaching us and bringing this revelation here. In the name of Jesus, we pray. Amen. Oh, we got a very interesting teaching today, don't we? Let's go to our title. I'm calling this pre-mid posttribulation rapture. Does it matter? Let's go to opening scripture. 1 Thessalonians 5:9. For God has not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ. Okay, we're going to talk a little bit about end time prophecy. But if you notice the question, does it matter? I'm going to show you some interesting revelation here. First and foremost, we're not God. And it's foresight. So, and God can change anything and work anything because he he's the creator of it all. Now, he will keep his word though. He will keep his word. So, whatever he's prophesied, he will complete it. Here is the thing though. He's going to complete it whether you or you or I are right or wrong about end time prophecy. So, does it matter? We have to ask the question, why did God give us the book of Revelation? Oh, I know why. Because he's telling us believers, go into all the world and preach the good news and let them know they can get salvation for free so they don't have to go through that hell on earth. Because the book of Revelation is about a seven-year time period of God's wrath being poured on on the earth. And as you just saw in the scripture, believers are not appointed to that time frame. I'm going to show you, I will answer the question whether the rapture happens before that time period or during that time period or at the end of that time period. I will answer that question. But right now, the most important aspect of this teaching is that you go into all the world and tell them you don't want to live during that time frame time time frame. Get saved now while the saving is free and good and easy. And I will do I will talk about salvation, how to get saved at the end of this teaching. So let's go back to this first scripture so we can understand what's going on here. For Godath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ. So right now, future prophecy is there. He's showing us how bad it's going to be. And it's going to be bad. I'm going to take a couple snippets here from Revelation. We're going to talk about how bad it gets because I want you to see this so that you and I who believe that Jesus Christ is the son of God can go into the world out there and let them know you don't want to go through that. You do not want to go through that. Now's the time to get saved. Get it while it's free, while it's easy. We don't know how you're going to get saved or what you even have to do to be saved. A lot of theologians says you have to be beheaded. Well, wait a minute. Um, what if they somebody decides to kill you just by shooting you in the head? Do you get saved still? If See, we cannot. It's foresight. We're not God. We truly don't know. Even though the Bible is very specific about that time frame and gives us a lot of information which I'm about to show you, at the same time we do not know how people will get saved and salvation will be different. Remember he John went to write down what the seven thunders had spoke and God said don't write that down. And I have a feeling that has to do with how to get saved. And the reason God didn't reveal that to us is so that you're not sitting here going, "Well, I'll just wait for that time frame." You don't want to live during that time frame. So, let's get into this. So, this is kind of about end time prophecy, but at the same time, it's more importantly that we get people saved now while the saving is free. So, here in Revelation 9 1-6, again, I'm just showing you a snippet. The fifth angel sounded. So there are six seals and then there are seven or excuse me seven seals and seven trumpets and they're kind of like back to back. And in the midst of the seven trumpets the last three trumpets which would be the fifth, sixth and seventh which is one of them are three woes. So this is going to be woe number one that we're reading. So this is how bad things are going to be. So this by the way and see I'm going to answer the question whether there the rapture happens before middle or after this time period and I'm going to tell you right now it happens before I will show you a different approach to how to look at this. This is revelation from God. This is the Holy Spirit. You're here listening to this for a particular reason. So stay stay with us and see. But I want to show you how bad this time frame gets. What you're about to see is the first or a fivemonth time period, which is at the beginning of this seven-year time period, and it's hell on earth. Watch this. So, and the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star fall from heaven unto the earth, and to him was given the key of the bottomless pit. And he opened the bottomless pit, and there arose a smoke out of the pit, as the smoke of a great furnace, and the sun and the air were darkened by reason of the smoke of the pit. And there came out of the smoke locust upon the earth. And unto them was given power, privilege as the scorpions uh the word scorpion is piercing. So scorpions of the earth have power. And it was commanded to them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree, but only those men which have not the seal of protection of God on their foreheads. And to them it was given that they should not kill them, but that they should be tormented five months. And their torment was as the torment of a scorpion when he striketh a man. And in those days shall men seek death and shall not find it and shall desire to die and death shall flee or run away from them. Okay. So first of all let's talk about the seal of the Lord in Revelation 7. 12,000 of 12 tribes of Israel are sealed with God's seal. Male Jews that have not uh been touched by a woman, virgins. They're all virgins. So, these 144,000 are sealed. So after that is when a whole bunch of people show up in heaven and then all of a sudden you have this where a star is fallen and this uh demon which is in charge of the pit. He opens up the gates and he releases these locust things. They're they're like there's more description in there. I didn't bring all that description in here. It's not good reading. If you want to know more, go read it. Uh but basically these things are released on the earth and they can sting anyone who hasn't got the seal of God on them which means it's anybody who's alive at that time. Now the two witnesses can draw any fire down from heaven and plagues and all that kind of stuff. So my guess is that anything tries to come after them, they're just going to kill it until their time is to die, which is in the middle of the seven-year time period. Again, you can go read all this. you can pick it up and figure it out. So you have to ask yourself the question which I asked earlier why was the book of revelation written because see we know that prophecies throughout scriptures we know that all the prophecies about Jesus first coming was fulfilled. Now prophecy here in this second uh for Jesus second return is going to be fulfilled as well. So Jesus is coming back a second time. Why give us this if it just needs salvation? One, I believe that the Lord is showing us what the people are going to go through during that time period. One, they cannot die. Did you see that? Death flees from them. Think about that for just a moment here. They they realize and a lot of people are going to realize that they missed the boat. these this is a group of people that have already rejected that Jesus Christ is the son of God. So you've got your 144,000 sales, you've got your two witnesses, and then you've got the unbelievers here. By the way, go read Revelation. You will not find any believers walking in there through there. Where is the church? I'm going to tell you right now, when the two witnesses show up and they're down there in Jerusalem calling fire down from heaven, it's going to be on the news. Guess where Lisa will be? If Lisa was here during that time, and for that matter, any other believer that truly puts God first in their life, they're going to be right there with those two witnesses. But the Bible doesn't tell us that. This is fascinating. Where are the believers? It's just like a sore thumb that sticks out. Now, again, I told I'm going to answer the question whe the rapture happens before, which I believe it does, and I'm going to show you another way of how scripture from the Old Testament tells us it's going to be. So, there's going to be some neat revelation here, and I want you to pick up on that. But at the same time, we need to know what's going to happen. So, these unbelievers are going to be running around and facing what I'm just calling it, demonlike creatures that are going to sting them. And that sting is going to hurt, but it won't kill them. But it's going to hurt and they're going to be in pain. I'm going tell you right now, I had hurt my knee a few weeks ago, and it's rough. I tore my meniscus and I have to walk on it still. It hurts. I don't like the pain. I can tell you right now, nobody is going to like that pain. And if you're a believer and you're hearing this for the first time and you were not aware of what's and again, this is just a snippet of the suffering that people are going to go through. You can go read more if you want. You should have a tug pulled on your heart that tells you, "I better tell my family. I better tell my friends because you want to get saved now. You don't want to miss the boat and you don't want to be in you don't want to be living during that time frame. And for anybody that's teaching that Christians will be there during this time period, let me let you in on a little secret. They don't know the love of God. And I'm going to show you how God had answered this question from the Old Testament. So let's go let's go look at the Old Testament because I want you to see and and I you know and before I go there one more point I want to make here. If you think and you've gone in the other direction like how could God just torture people like that? Let me let you in on something here. These are people who rejected God. God is trying to get their attention. One, they're still alive. Which means if they come to be a believer, they still have a chance to get saved. This is the love of God being poured out on them. Even though it's wrath, it's letting them have a chance to get back with God. Repent. Now, if you read it carefully, you will find out they continue to reject God even after all of that. But God is trying to get their attention. He's saying, "Listen, I'm in control. You need to believe in me so you can get saved." And then some people are going to think, "Well, that's just not right. That that's the only choice here. Hey, you know what? God is the one who created this world. He can do and and save us however way he wants because salvation is of the Lord." And I will tell you this much. Even though we don't know how people will get saved during the seven-year time period, I know that God is still working on people during that time, and there will be some who will be saved. Whether that is through beheading, some theologians think it's through beheading. What happens if you're shot point blank? Can you still get saved if you're calling on Jesus and rejecting the mark of the beast and rejecting um everything else? Yeah, you can still be saved that way, too. So, you can't just limit because they they tell you you have to be beheaded to be saved. That's what a lot of theologians teach about this time frame. Beheading is spoken of. I just don't think it's the only way. So, let's let's not limit God and what he is capable of doing. He can do anything he wants, but he keeps to his word. If he prophesied it, it's going to happen. So now the question is where do you want to spend eternity? Do you really want to go through all of this because you think that God is being a big bad God? No. You need to repent here and now. He created you and he didn't have to. But that's how much he loves you. And Jesus went to the cross whether you accept him or not. Jesus died on the cross for our salvation. This is why today Today scripture talks about today that we should teachers, evangelists, pastors, preachers, any one of us need to be going into the world and letting the world know, get saved now. It's so easy. Call upon the name of the Lord Jesus and be saved. He is the son of God and he sacrificed himself on the cross so that we could be saved. Not everybody's going to be saved, but we're hoping for the best. So, we want to get as many as we can now because in this generation, you're seeing prophecy unfold. Go to Matthew 24 and just start reading right off the top about great earthquakes, pestilences, COVID. uh all of these things are unfolding in our in our eyes. We're seeing it and that's just the beginning of the birth panges of this season that we're entering. So, we have entered this season and it is about to burst. So, get ready, get saved, and save as many as you can. Put salvation as a priority in your mind. If you're getting gas, if you're at the grocery store, hey, do you know about Jesus? I just want you to know you can get saved now. Let's just get as many as we can before they for the first five months they can't even kill themselves, which they think is a merciful thing, but God is trying to get them to be saved so that he can bring as many home as possible. And I bet you there's going to be quite a few that get saved during that time period. So now what I want to do is talk about the debate of the premid or posttribulation rapture. Let's look at the Old Testament and see what Abraham and God had to say about it. This is how this is powerful. This is interesting. We're in Genesis 18 verses 20- 26. And the Lord said, "Because the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great, because their sin is very grievous, I will go down now and see whether they have done altogether according to the cry of it or the shriek of it which is come unto me, and if not, I will know." And the men turned their faces from dens and went towards Sodom, but Abraham stood yet before the Lord. Okay, so Luke and Matthew, Matthew 24 says it'd be like the days of Noah. I think it's Luke 21 or I think it's Luke 21 that tells you if it's not you can go look it up. Luke tells us it'll be like the days of Lot. So in order to understand end time prophecy Jesus is telling us to go to the past to understand it. So here's one snippet of you know remember end time prophecy is a big big picture but I want to show you this conversation that Abraham had with God about going to Lot. Now, I'm going to also show you the days of Noah. But right now, let's look at the days of Lot. So, Lot was they were sinning greatly against God. So much so that God is going to pay them a visit to see if it is really true that what's going on. And Abraham kind of knows this. So, Abraham's like, "Wait a second, God, before you go." And this is what he says to God in verse 23. And Abraham drew ne near and said, "Wilt thou also destroy the righteous with the wicked?" I want to pause there. How many people think the rapture is going to happen in the middle of God's wrath or at the end of God's wrath? So, do you think that God pouring out his wrath on the earth where and by the way, the prophecy clearly says that those scorpions will touch anyone except for those that have the seal of God. And it doesn't talk about sealing the church. Doesn't talk about sealing the believers. It talks about sealing the Israelites, 144,000 Jews. Which means those scorpions are going to be loose all over the earth going after anybody alive during that time that doesn't have God's seal. you. So in essence that would if the righteous and the wicked would have to be tormented at the same time according to scripture and Abraham here many thousands years earlier is saying wait a minute God what about the righteous he's he sees what I think a lot of theologians are seeing where you're going to do that what about us who love you. And some are coming to a conclusion. I don't know how they're coming to this conclusion. I mean, there's scripture in there that if you if you're not putting it in the right context can look misleading where it tells you, "Oh, these you're all going to be suffering the same." No, no, no, no, no. Now, remember, if you miss the boat and you're in there during that time and you get saved while you're in that time frame, that's a different story. So, you might become righteous in the middle. And actually, I don't know because maybe you have to die to become righteous. See, we don't know enough about that time frame because we live in a time of grace and our hearts are being biased when we read scripture. We're saying, "Oh, you can be filled with grace during that time." What if you can't? God's wrath is being poured out and and water and oil don't mix. Wrath and grace don't mix. So Abraham is bringing up the conversation with God. Let's go back. So Abraham asks a very interesting question here in verse 24. He says, "Per adventure there be 50 righteous within the city. Wilt thou also destroy and not spare the place for the 50 righteous that are therein?" So he's asking God point blank, tell me what if you find 50 righteous people, what then? So God answers him. And in fact, Abraham's still talking in verse 25 where he says, "That be far from thee to do after this manner to slay the righteous with the wicked, and that the righteous shall be as the wicked." That be far from the you. He's saying that's far from you. You're not that. See, he understands the love of God. He understands who his God is. And his God says he won't suffer his wrath. See, you and I who believe in God and know his love and accept his love will know that God's not going to pour his wrath on us. Hallelujah. Such good news. And look at this. That be far from me. He says, "Shall not the judge of all the earth do right?" See, God is a righteous judge. And I've taught on this before. He is currently building his case so that when he gets to judgment day, he has enough evidence against the devil to make the devil suffer for eternity. That's how God works. That's what he's doing. But for those that choose God and believe in him, he loves us. Watch his answer. Now, this is God answering Abraham. And the Lord said, "If I find in Sodom 50 righteous within the city, then I will spare or lift all the place for their sake." He won't destroy the city if there are 50 righteous people. Now, we know that he did destroy the city because this conversation occurs before the destruction, which means there weren't 50. In fact, the conversation continues on verse 32. And he said, "Oh, let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak yet, but this one." This is Abraham talking. He says, "Perventure 10 shall be found there." And he said, "I will not destroy it for 10 sake." And the Lord went his way as soon as he had left communing with Abraham. And Abraham returned his place. So I skipped some scriptures in there because of time. So Abraham asked, "What if there's 50, 45, 30, 20?" And then he got all the way to 10. What if there's 10 righteous? Did you see that? I will not destroy it for 10's sake. So using that, in fact, let's go look at Noah's day. I I want you to see Noah's day at the same time. Something happens here that's very interesting. Uh in um Oh, and let's finish up here. Sodom. He says, "And Abraham got up early in the morning to the place where he stood before her, and he looked and toward looked toward Sodom and Gomorrah and toward all the land of the plain, and beheld, and lo, the smoke of the country went up as the smoke of the furnace. The city was destroyed." Abraham saw it. And I wanted to bring that scripture in there because I want those that are looking and watching this to know what the scriptures tell us. Yes, the cities were destroyed because of their evil. And the only three that survived was Lot and his two daughters, which we can see this in Genesis um 19 29 and 30. And it came to pass when God destroyed the cities of the plain that God remembered Abra Abraham and sent Lot out of the midst of the overthrow when he overthrew the cities in which Lot dwelt. And Lot went up out of Zor and dwelt in the mountain and his two daughters with him. For he feared to dwell Zor and he dwelt in the cave, he and his two daughters. So when Lot came out of the city, he w Let's pause. I I want to get this right. I so want to get this right. God knew there weren't 10 righteous people. So he had to destroy the city because he has a threshold. You see the 10, it's actually below 10. So he takes what righteous there was out of Sodom and Gomorrah and the only three who survived was Lot and his two daughters. Now his wife did come out with him. Now I'm sure you've heard the story. She turned around longing for it and she turned into a pillar of salt died. That's what happened in Lot's day. And Jesus says it'll be like that. What happened in Noah's day? Because Noah's flood took place. Something else happened here. I want you to see this. And this is Genesis 6:5. And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth. That every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. God didn't destroy the earth because of the giants. And I wanted to clarify that popular belief. He did it because there was every man was thinking wickedness. uh continually uh I do know uh Methuselah it says here in uh Genesis 5:27 and all the days of Methusela were 960 nine years and he died and Methusela he it's not in the scripture in that second bullet point but he died the same year Noah turned 600 which is the same year of the flood so a lot of preachers preach out there that once Methuselah died if you talk about his name here comes destruction um and here comes you know God's going to destroy the earth at that time. So they they teach that that's when once he died it doesn't say that he was a righteous man just says that once he died. So his name meant that destruction comes after his death. So then after he died Noah was 600 years old when the flood of waters was upon the earth. This is Genesis 7 6 and 7. And Noah went in and his sons and his wife and his son's wives with him into the ark because of the waters of the flood. Now that's eight people. So you've got eight people who came again. God took eight people out of the wickedness so he could destroy the wicked and he saved the eight people because there wasn't enough people to bring the city around from destruction. there was not 10 righteous. So he eight survived there, three survived out of Sodom and Gomorrah. So God has a type here. And I want you to see Paul saw this, you know, after Paul uh after Jesus intervened in his life on the road to Damascus and and his name he started calling himself Paul and he was no longer Saul. He went into the wilderness for three years and remember Paul or Saul was a Pharisee of the Pharisees. He knew the scriptures. But during that three-year time period where he waved back in to see it now through Jesus' eyes, he saw a mystery. And look what he says in 1 Corinthians 15:51 and 52. Behold, I show you a mystery. We shall not all sleep or be dead, but we shall all be changed in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump. For the trumpet shall sound and the dead shall be raised incorruptible and we shall be changed or made different. So God has a type. If he is going to destroy something like he did Sodom and Gomorrah, he brings out what righteous is left. If he's going to destroy the earth, he brought out what righteous with was left. If he's going to pour out his wrath, he has to remove the righteous first. That's what Paul saw. That's why he says, "Listen, I'm telling you a mystery. We're not all going to be dead. We're not all going to die the same way." You want to know why? I'll tell you why. Because the spirit of salvation is active and moving and saving people. You need to grasp the spirit of salvation. You need to start one praying in the secret place with the Lord. Praying over your loved ones, your family, your friends, co-workers, whomever you want to be saved. And by the way, you ought to be forgiving them as well. And if you're forgiving them, God is obligated to forgive them, which means they will get saved because the spirit of salvation through the Holy Spirit, they're working in tandem to come and save them. And so people are getting saved day after day. This is awesome. Great. Which means there's going to be a lot of people on the earth when God decides to pour out his wrath. When he's good and ready for the day of the Lord to arrive at his time, when he wants to come in and do that, he has to remove the righteous because he spoke the word to Abraham already where the righteous and the wicked will not be judged together on the earth because that is not who God is. Abraham declared it. It is prophesied. We will be removed from the earth. And then God will pour out his wrath. And in that time frame, somehow someway, people are going to get saved. And when they do, they're going to be beheaded. They're going to be killed for their belief. Whatever way, however way it happens, they're going to get saved through death. Most likely. Most likely through death. We don't know the details of that. So now though is the time to get saved. Now is the time to tell people get saved while it's free. And by the way, salvation is free. Look at what Romans 10:9 says that if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. And then verse 13, whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. you all you have to do is say Lord Jesus and talk to him like he's a real person because when you do that it's like you're believing that he he was raised from the dead which is what our heart needs to believe it is not complicated it is not difficult it is that you believe that Jesus Christ is the son of God as the moment you start calling on him the moment you say I'm going to repent this is you getting saved and You will be pulled out when that time frame comes up unless the Lord should tar. And I just don't think he's going to. He's coming. He's coming quickly and he's coming in this generation now. Whether that's two years, 10 years, another 50 years. I could possibly live another 50 years. Uh the way I am. Uh I don't think so. But that my generation I think it's my generation because it was at the generation of when Jerusalem became the capital of Israel and that was in 1967. I was born in 1969 right in that time frame and very close to that generation. So yes. So let's pray the sinner's prayer together because I want you to get saved. Amen. Amen. You've been listening to this this entire time. Get a Bible. Go check it out. And if you can't get a Bible, you have internet access because you're watching this. Go to www.biblegateway.com . Look up the book of Revelation and start a relationship with God and read the book of John, the Gospel of John. It's free. You can read it online. Amen. Let's uh repeat after me. Dear Jesus, I ask you to forgive me. Come into my heart and be my Lord and Savior. I don't want to live in that time period when you pour out your wrath in the name of Jesus. Thank you for saving me. Amen. Amen. Amen. God bless you and I will see you in the next message. Byebye. Previous Next Home

EVE - RESTORING DYSFUNCTIONAL RELATIONSHIPS To teach how God’s design for relationships can be restored when dysfunction arises, using the biblical accounts of Adam, Eve, Cain, and Abel. The message emphasizes the authority believers have through Christ to overcome sin, heal brokenness, and walk in self-control by applying confession, forgiveness, and communion with God. EVE - RESTORING DYSFUNCTIONAL RELATIONSHIPS Minister Lisa Kane May 23, 2024 Objective: To teach how God’s design for relationships can be restored when dysfunction arises, using the biblical accounts of Adam, Eve, Cain, and Abel. The message emphasizes the authority believers have through Christ to overcome sin, heal brokenness, and walk in self-control by applying confession, forgiveness, and communion with God. Synopsis: In this third teaching on Eve within the Women in the Bible series, Lisa Kane explores the theme of Restoring Dysfunctional Relationships. She begins with a review of God’s perfect design for relationships in creation, showing how Adam and Eve’s formation reflects divine order, covering, and mutual submission under Christ. This pattern extends to all areas of life—marriage, family, friendships, and even workplace connections. The message then shifts to the account of Cain and Abel as an example of dysfunction. Cain’s rejection of God’s requirement for a blood sacrifice led to offense, anger, and ultimately murder. Lisa highlights how God warned Cain that sin was at the door, but also gave him the authority to rule over it. The teaching shows that dysfunction often begins within the individual when hurt and anger go unchecked, but restoration is possible through Christ. Key steps are outlined: Confession of Jesus as Lord brings deliverance, healing, and salvation. Holy Communion reminds believers of Christ’s sacrifice, applying the broken body for healing and the blood for cleansing. Forgiveness and letting go of anger stop sin in its tracks. Self-control (temperance), a fruit of the Spirit, empowers believers to walk in love, peace, and restoration. Lisa emphasizes that relationships—whether with family, spouses, coworkers, or oneself—can be healed by bringing them back under Christ’s covering. Through prayer, confession, and reliance on the Spirit, dysfunctional patterns are broken, sin is defeated, and God’s perfect design for relationships is restored. 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 on Thursday, May 23rd, 2024. Welcome. I'm still in the Women of Bible, Women in the Bible series, and I'm still in Eve. This will be the third message regarding Eve. But wow, the power and all the revelation coming out of this is incredible. This one is called Restoring Dysfunctional Relationships. Let's open up in a word of prayer. Father God, we thank you for your word and we bless your word that your word does not return void. We pray that your word is so powerful and strong that it impacts our lives and we apply it to our lives and live your word and have great relationships with one another, with ourselves and with you in the name of Jesus. Amen. So to recap, the first message I taught about Eve was being born again, showing you how Jesus set up the born again process beginning with her very neat revelation. You might want to go check that out. The last message or second message that I taught regarding Eve was the perfect relationship that God established with us, which I'm going to do a quick recap here. And then this one is about dysfunctional relationships, restoring that dysfunctional relationship. So, let's go to our opening scripture because I want to do a quick recap here. Uh, Genesis 1:27. So, God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him. Male and female created he them. So male and female make up the image of God. Now how they were formed, Adam and Eve, how they were created teaches us what the perfect relationship is. So Adam was formed in Genesis 2:7. And the Lord God formed man of the dust and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life and man became a living soul. So that's how Adam was created. And then Eve in Genesis 2:21-24, the Lord God caused the deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept, and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof. And the rib which the Lord God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto man. And Adam said, "This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh. She shall be called woman, because she was taken out of man. And therefore shall a man leave his father and and his mother and shall cleave unto his wife and they shall be one flesh. So basically what you're seeing here is Adam's covering goes upon her. So it's like his arm is over her shoulders and then she is tucked right in next to his heart which is protected by the rib cage. Since she's made from the rib, she's part of protector over him. She protects his vitals on the inside. She prays for him. And I showed you in last week's message of teaching how to have the perfect relationship, how to submit to one another. So you'll see that Adam leaves his parents. He's going to cleave to his wife. But both male and female have to look to Christ. Christ is who we follow. So we let go of the traditions of our parents. We cling to Christ. Christ is head of the church. Christ is head of the man. Man is head of the woman. It is a hierarchy power of authority that goes on him. But in that perfect relationship, she submits unto him. She submits unto God. He submits unto God. He loves her and covers her. So you have this established perfect relationship that God has set for us to follow. And this applies to siblings, parents, grandparents, to one another, between you and your boss, between you and your best friend, between you and yourself, and between you and God. This is a relationship that he has established. And how do you have a relationship? You talk with one another. You work it out. You open up the word of God and apply the scriptures. So, for instance, if you do what we taught last week, you need to have a relationship with God first. That means you got to set a time aside for him. Set time aside for him. You need to be praying and you need to be opening up the word of God and you need to be learning it, speaking it and let it just manifest out of you. Now that's between now you apply that in every one of your relationships, mother, daughter, father, daughter, uh siblings and so forth. Well, unfortunately, we have what's called dysfunctional relationships. And it always starts with you, me, the individual, because we sabotage our relationships either knowingly or unknowingly. So, I'm going to show you the perfect dysfunctional relationship where God shows us we have authority over fixing that and correcting it. This is awesome. Talk about the revelation that came out of Eve. This is absolutely incredible. So, let's go see Cain and Abel. Perfect dysfunctional relationship if there ever was one. Genesis 4:4-7. And Abel, he also brought of the first lanes of his flock and of the fat thereof. And the Lord had respect unto Abel and to his offering. Now, that word respect there means to regard, spare, turn. Abel brought a blood sacrifice to God. He took his firstborn of his cattle, whatever animals that he had, he brought that to God and he did a burnt offering to God and he sacrificed them. He shed blood and God was like, "Yeah, I like this. This is what needs to be done." Well, Cain brought he went out and harvested his fruits and vegetables and he brought baskets, however many, but he brought those to God representing his work. He toiled the ground and he worked hard for that. He sweated and God said, "Nope." Because God, what God is saying here is, "I don't want your works. Your works are not going to save you." Do you see the salvation message still through here? Being born again, this all connects together. I hope you guys watch all three messages together. This is incredible. So here God is telling Cain, you cannot save yourself with your works. You have to do what your brother did. Bring the blood sacrifice. But something happens here that causes a relationship to fall. Let's go look at that because Cain is very offended here. Uh verse five, but Cain but unto Cain and to his offer he had not respect and Cain was very wroth and his countenance fell. And the Lord said unto Cain, "Why art thou wroth?" And that word wroth there means glow, grow, warm anger. In other words, he was angry inside so much that his blood pressure is rising and his shade of color is changing. He's now glowing. He's angry. God rejected him. Now, in a dysfunctional relationship, a lot of things goes on. A lot of things take place and happen here where uh you're hurt. It usually starts with you're getting hurt. Somebody didn't like something you said or did. You didn't mean it that way. And and it usually starts with some little spark like that. And instead of showing the authority and dealing with it, which I'm going to show you here what God says, you get angry. Now, we can get angry. The issue is after you get angry, you need to have some self-control and bring that anger back unto God. We're going to see how Cain did not do that. So look at this and I'm going to show you how to bring it back. So why are thou So the Lord said unto Cain, "Why are thou wroth and why is thy countenance fallen?" So verse seven, this is God talking to Cain still. If thou doest well, happy, successful, right? See, if you did the right thing, you're going to be successful. You're going to be in the right standing. It's going to be good. It's going to be well. But you see, we don't always do the right thing. This is us trying to sabotage things because it's the sin that is waring inside of us doing this. So he says, "And if thou doest not well, sin lith at the door, and unto thee shall be his desire." That's sin desiring stretching out, trying to reach through the door to get you, and thou shalt rule over him. You have rule and dominion over sin on the other side of the door is what God is saying here. So in other words, as soon as you get angry, you open the door and sin is right there on the other side, but sin is pulling its arm through the door and is trying to grab you. So you're in this moment, this heated moment of anger, and you are in a state of mind where you need to get some self-control. And we're going to talk about getting some self-control here in a moment. Somebody didn't like something you said. They don't like the way you look. They're in a bad mood today. So, they don't want to have anything to do with you and your happiness. You see, there are all kinds of things that set off or trigger a person. Now, if you're the one being triggered, then it's a demonic. It is sin at the door. And it is sin you need to deal with. And what takes care of sin? Abel established that by the sacrifice of the blood because life is in the blood. Leviticus, let's go there. Look at Leviticus 17:11. For the life of the flesh is in the blood, and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement to cover or cancel for your souls. For it is the blood that maketh an atonement for the soul. So you see, you can get angry, but you got to come back to the blood. You got to go back to Abel. So in other words, do all the works that you want to do, but it ain't going to do you anything. You can try so hard to speak the right words. You can try so hard to bury that anger. You can try so hard to not be a trigger. You can drink as many cups of coffee as you want, thinking that might make you a little happier and give you the energy that you need. But it comes back to the blood. And what do you do with the blood? You have to come back to the cross to holy communion. Now, it starts with confession. And I want you to remember this because now I'm going to take you through some steps of how to get back into the right relationship with God or with yourself or with your lover or with your spouse or with your brother or sister with your parent, your grandparent or with businesses or with your life with you yourself. If you argue with yourself, I typically don't argue with myself, but I do have conversations with myself. I talk to myself all the time. But I give it to the Lord and I just I look and it helps me bounce off the thoughts and ideas with the word of God. That's what I use that for. But however you want to have your relationships, it's going to come back to you need to make a sacrifice of blood. Well, hold on. Christ made the sacrifice of blood. So it takes back going to the cross. And it starts with confession. And remember, salvation is through the confession of the mouth. This is what delivers. This is what heals. This is what saves. Now I want you to see this. Romans 10:9 says that if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus. He's saying you got to speak it out loud. Jesus. So if Cain, he could have, you know what Cain could have done was, I'm sorry, Lord, I did this wrong. Please forgive me. And you know what? God would have done it and it would have been established. Would have been able to go on. Abel Abel would not have been killed. You see, Cain was so angry and sin came through the door, grabbed a hold of him. He could not let it go because he did not confess, he ends up murdering Abel. And because now Abel's blood is crying out to God, avenge me. God knew exactly what happened. God told Cain exactly. You see, Adam and Eve had been teaching Cain and Abel the ways of God. They're raising their children up in the ways of God. Abel was doing it right. Abel got the message. He knew it was blood. Cain said, "Well, you know what? I'm going to one up him and I'm going to work hard for this and God's going to love it." But he was wrong. And instead of confessing, he just got angry and and notice he was angry at God. But he couldn't do anything to God. So, he went after Abel. This is when you're in anger, you lash out at anyone who didn't even have anything to do with why you're angry. You just lash at them. You're a mean, ugly person on the inside. This is why I said it starts with you on the inside. So, if somebody's lashing out at you, you're the one in the self-control, hopefully, or you're the one that's lashing out. Whatever role you're in, it starts with confession. Let's go back to the scripture that if thou shalt confess with confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus and shall believe in thine heart that God raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. Look at the word saved. Delivered, protected, healed, preserved, whole. Cain could have come back and had forgiveness and mercy. Instead, he chose not to. So now once you confess Jesus over your life and you can confess Jesus over your anger, your hatred, and and the hurt you're feeling, you're hurt. Most people are lashing out because somebody hurt them for one reason or another. Um attacked them, rejected them, rejected their kind of love, uh didn't like the, you know, they were in love with you initially, got what they wanted, and then left you in the wind. There's lots of relationships like that. Uh if your family, money becomes an issue, you guys are fighting against that. Um but it's sin that's come in and it starts with confessing Jesus Lord as Lord of your s of your soul. Jesus over your soul. Jesus over your mouth. Jesus over your hate. Jesus over your unforgiveness. You see, part of the relationship is to forgive. And in order to forgive, you need to have self-control. So, we're going to get into that here in just a moment, but I want you to see how holy communion takes us back to the cross to restore us. And I want you to catch this is very powerful. 1 Corinthians 11:24 and 25. And when he had given thanks, he broke it and said, "Take, eat. This is my body which is broken for you. This do in remembrance of me." He's talking about the bread. So, he's taking bread. He's breaking pieces of of it off and he shares it at the table there with his apostles uh and his disciples and they are taking the bread and they're eating it in remembrance of what Christ is going to do on the cross. So Jesus is telling us and Paul's reiterating here when you do this, you do this in remembrance of Christ. So you confess Jesus as your Lord and Savior, but you're going to recognize that Christ went to the cross for your healing, your deliverance. See, you are healed spiritually and physically by the broken bread. You're healed physically because of the stripes. By his stripes, you were healed. You're also healed because of spiritually. If you're in anger, you can let go of the anger by partaking and taking the bread, the bread. Taking Christ, bringing Christ back into you. You're saying, "Jesus, I remember you in the cross. Jesus, I'm taking your bread into my body to restore and heal me spiritually and physically because I need it because I'm angry. I'm hurt. Somebody's hurt me and I'm upset about it. I need your help. This is how you take your dysfunctional relationship back to Christ. Now look what he says about the blood. Verse 25. After the same manner also he took the cup when he as saying, "This cup is the new testament covenant in my blood. This do ye as often as you drink it in remembrance of me. Covenant. You see, Jesus came and made a new covenant with mankind. Now remember back in the days before the flood, they were dealing with innocence and God judged them with the flood. So that part was already taken. But the new covenant is Christ through his blood. God has been asking for blood this entire time. Now the blood is where life is and Christ is life. And remember, I proved in the first teaching that Christ is the one who said, "Let there be light." He's the one who's forming man and manifesting life in them because Christ is life. The word became flesh and the word was with God in the beginning. John 1:1. This is Christ manifesting life. So what you do when you take the holy communion, you're saying, "Christ the life, come back into me. heal me, restore me physically, spiritually, and let the blood cleanse me because that's what the blood does. Now remember, and let's go look at how the principle works here. I want you to see this. Romans 7:21-25. And I find then a law, a principle that when I would do good, evil is present with me. For I delight or rejoice in the law of God after the inward man. I think I hit that too many times. Let's go back. There you go. But I see another law principle in my members waring against or attacking destroying the law of my mind and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members. Remember sin is at the door. The door opened because of the anger. So there's a war going on because we were born into sin. You see Cain hadn't sinned yet. But we were born on the other side of the door. Sin was let in when Adam and Eve sinned. So the door was open and Cain had an opportunity to avoid it and he didn't. Again, we have an opportunity to avoid a dysfunctional relationship if we choose to walk away from sin, which means confess Jesus as our Lord and Savior. Take of the cup, the broken bread, and the blood. bring life back into our bodies. Forgive. We have to let it go. That's what the word forgive means, by the way, is to let go of the anger. You could be all right and justify it all you want, but I'm going to tell you right now, that don't mean a thing. You let the sin in. And you have to deal with the sin. Doesn't matter if you're right. You got angry and you felt justified. You still let in sin. You have to deal with that sin. And to do that, you have to do this battle. Look what Paul's describing it as. I want you to see this. This is so very powerful. He says, "But I see another law in my members, waring against the law of my mind and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members. Oh wretched man that I am. Who shall deliver rescue me from the body of this death? I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord." So then with the mind, the intellect, I myself serve the law of God, but with the flesh, the law of sin. So you see, there's a battle going on. You've got sin that you have to deal with that's in the flesh. But your mind can shut that door by calling, confessing Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior because Jesus is the one who fulfilled all of this. He's the one who applied the perfect blood to the mercy seat in the ark of the covenant. So because of that the satisfaction, God had satisfaction with the blood of Jesus. It met the law. It fulfilled it. It was done. So now all we have is grace, confession of Jesus as our Lord and Savior and letting it go. We have the authority. You saw that God gave the authority to Cain to dominion and to have dominion over sin. And the best part of it is is after you do this, even though you're still fighting in that flesh and you're still struggling, because we struggle every day with the attacks on our mind, we can sometimes fantasize about things that happen in relationships that don't. This is why some of us, I'm certain my man is cheating on me or doing this or doing that. You have no proof. You think it. You got to capture your mind and get it under self-control. Look at what he says though. As soon as you confess Jesus, because that was Romans 7, the last end of the verse of Romans 7. Now we're in Romans 8:1 and2. It says, "There is therefore now no condemnation. There's no verdict to them which are in Christ Jesus." You see, sin is the devil going to the courtroom of God and saying, "See, he did this. He did this. He did this." Christ is saying, "I forgive. I forgive. I forgive." And if you're going to be Christlike, you need to forgive yourself of these hatred, sinful uh relationships that you're sabotaging. You have to forgive yourself. You've got to for let Christ forgive you. And then you have to have this mindset. Look, it says, "Now there is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the spirit." See, you confess Jesus. Now you walk in the spirit. Because when you get water baptized, you're watered. You go under in the water, you come up in the spirit. So you can see how being born again, confessing Jesus, getting baptized, having holy communion, and coming up in the spirit, walking in the spirit, this is you having a perfect relationship with Christ. Your mind can say, "Now there is no condemnation because I'm in Christ Jesus and I'm walking after the spirit." Verse two, for the law of the spirit of life in Christ Jesus, For the law of the spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death. Death. You are liberated from sin and death. Cain wandered the rest of his life wandered the wilderness and was never satisfied and never was able to get what he needed out of the ground. He wandered and he was destroyed. That was his life. You do not want that kind of life. You do not live in the wilderness. You are now liberated because there is no more condemnation. Oh death. Oh death, where is your sting? You see, you're saved the moment you confess Jesus. You're saved spiritually, eternally in heaven. But you're also saved out of those dysfunctional relationships. You're saved out of the sickness that comes from it in your flesh. You are saved because you confess Jesus. You confess Jesus. You confess Jesus and you forgive and you let it go. And you've taken the Holy Communion, which is what restores you every time because it reminds you to go back to the cross every single time. Now, here's the key. Because you want to have that self-control. Look, Galatians 5:22 and 23. But the fruit of the spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance. Against such against such there is no law. Temperance is self-control. All of these fruits should be manifesting out of you. You see, you should be able to confess Jesus and ask God to come into your heart and ask for the gift, the fruits of the spirit. Say, "Lord, I need some self-control. Help me not get angry. Help my mind stay focused on you. I don't want to be fantasizing about what someone could be doing behind my back or someone's lying and cheating behind my back." Or if I think that, then I should be praying for them, forgiving them and giving them to Christ and then forgive myself. That is the type of relationship that Christ has for us today. So if you are the one that's acting out, you need to confess and bring it back to the Lord. If you're the one confessing, then when someone lashes out to you, you need to pray for them and give them to Christ and let it go. And it stops sin in its tracks. But the self-control is what you need so you don't lash out in anger. Because if you're lashing out in anger, all you're doing is just feeding the sin with fire and it's just gonna because that's what it does. But remember, let's go back to Cain. Let's go back to what God said. He says, "If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted? And if thou doest not well, sin lith at the door. And unto thee shall be his desire." See, sin wants to get us. and thou shalt rule over him. You have dominion over sin. You have the authority. All you got to do is say, "Jesus, help me. Jesus, help me have self-control. Jesus, keep me from temptation." The Lord's Prayer. Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. and forgive us our debts as we forgive those uh forgive us our as we forgive those the debtors against us keep us from evil and deliver us keep us from the temptations and deliver us I'm paraphrasing that you can go look it up I just it's an impromptu thing I did here so I don't have the scripture here but I encourage you to go read that prayer talk to God establish your relationship with him so he works in you a good work and you're helping him because confessing Jesus over your anger, your hatred, your your unforgiveness, even the right thinking. You think you're right. Hey, God's always going to find something wrong with you. We're we're in the flesh. We're human. But what we can do is confess Jesus, praise him, worship him, walk with him, have that holy communion so that we stay reminded of what he did on the cross, reminded of the dominion over sin that he has given us. We have the right to fight sin off. And it's an ongoing battle. Which means though, we can have a right to the perfect relationship that God designed for us. The man's covering over us. He's not beating us because we're in the crook of his arm. He loves us. We're protecting his vitals by praying and keeping sin out. praying for our man, praying for our woman. Because we go to God with our issues. We go to God with our relationships. We say, "In Jesus, I pray for my husband. In the name of Jesus, I pray for my wife. In the name of Jesus, I pray for my children. In the name of Jesus, I pray for my parents. In the name of Jesus, I pray for my siblings." And what's happening is you're looking to God, which is what the image of God, ma, male and female, have been created to do for that perfect relationship. So you can take the anger, the hatred, the the dysfunctional, sabotaged relationships around you and bring them right back to Jesus. Take your holy community to have that relationship with Christ. stand with Christ and put Christ first in your heart and in your mouth. Let Christ be spoken out first in your mouth because it's what you have a cloud of witnesses that are around you. So, I I wasn't going to go into this, but that cloud of witness is God. It's Jesus, the Holy Spirit, angels, demons. They're out there watching you and they take advantage of you. Especially demons, they're looking for the words that you're going to say that's going to let them have that door open for them so that sin can reach its hand out and grab you. Well, I'm shutting that door. I don't want sin there. Yeah, I'm I'm right about this relationship, but you know what? Uh-uh. Shutting the door. I'm going to go to Christ and just pray. I'm gonna let the spirit handle it because it's not my by works. It's by the blood and the spirit is came from the blood. Jesus established the church with water and blood and then he sent the spirit for the day of Pentecost right after that. That's how this works. This is the perfect relationship that you can have and bring it back to that perfect relationship. And I hope that you do that. Amen. Let's uh close in a word of prayer. Father God, we thank you for your word and we bless your word. You are mighty and holy. And I pray that we call upon the name of the Lord and are saved from anger, from hatred, from unforgiveness. And I pray that we have self-control to be able to confess Jesus over our relationships and that we can walk in that perfect relationship with you, Father God. For you truly are amazing, glorious, and faithful and wonderful. Oh Lord, we love you. Thank you, Lord. Let this message not be stolen by the devil. Let it stay in our minds and hearts and let us apply it in our lives in the name of Jesus. Amen. Amen. God bless you. I'll see you in the next message. Bye-bye. Previous Next Home

UNDERSTANDING THE BOOK OF REVELATION PART 4 Equip listeners to understand Revelation 6–7 as the convergence point of God’s “physical” and “spiritual” timelines—clarifying the roles of the seals, the rapture, Israel’s sealing (144,000), and Jesus’ teaching in Matthew 24—so they can watch, persevere, and minister with confidence as end-time signs intensify. UNDERSTANDING THE BOOK OF REVELATION PART 4 Pastor Marcos Marrero May 24, 2009 Objective: Equip listeners to understand Revelation 6–7 as the convergence point of God’s “physical” and “spiritual” timelines—clarifying the roles of the seals, the rapture, Israel’s sealing (144,000), and Jesus’ teaching in Matthew 24—so they can watch, persevere, and minister with confidence as end-time signs intensify. Synopsis: Opening prayer & posture: A call to lay aside tradition and flesh, receive “rivers of living water,” and be strengthened for spiritual battle. Twofold structure of Revelation: Chapters 1–3 present the physical, linear church age (seven churches); chapters 4–6 unveil the spiritual dynamics behind that history (throne, Lamb, seals). Four horsemen as four forces: Antichrist deception, war, economic upheaval, and death operate to bring Israel (law) and the Church (grace) back into the same prophetic moment, culminating in Revelation 6. Fifth & sixth seals: The fifth seal highlights sacrificial witnesses (“under the altar”); the sixth seal pulls back the sky—heaven and earth meet, signaling imminent divine wrath and triggering end-time transitions. Transfer of anointing & the 144,000 (Rev 7:1–8): Before wrath falls, an angel “from the east” halts judgment; the Church is removed (Philadelphia kept from the hour of trial) and Israel is sealed (12,000 from each tribe) to carry the covenant witness. Great multitude (Rev 7:9–17): An innumerable company from every nation, tribe, people, and language appears before the throne—identified as those coming out of many tribulations who washed their robes in the Lamb’s blood (the raptured Church across the ages). Clocks and convergences: Physical clock: Six thousand years (six “days”) leading to the millennial Sabbath; 144 generations picture completion. Spiritual clock: 120 Jubilees (Noah motif) also converge near the end; both clocks meet at the sixth seal. Tribulation vs. wrath: Tribulation = persecution by men throughout the church age; wrath = God’s seven-year judgment. Confusing these leads to timing errors about the rapture. “No one knows the day or hour” (Mt 24): Read in context of the midpoint events (abomination of desolation). As in Noah’s day, God revealed the year and even a seven-day window; Zechariah 14 suggests a unique day when normal time is suspended to allow Israel’s flight on a Sabbath/winter. Midpoint details & flight: After the two witnesses’ 1,260 days, their death/resurrection coincides with Israel’s flight to refuge (Azal/“scapegoat” imagery from the Day of Atonement). God preserves a remnant for 1,290 days while others seal their testimony in martyrdom. Pastoral charge: Do not neglect Revelation or end-time preaching. Watch the signs (globalism, Israel, wars, upheavals), stay sober and ready, and lead others to Christ with boldness when the world is shaken—rejoicing at His appearing. Inspired Teaching - Written and/or Transcribed from Video Above: Indeed, Father in heaven, we ask that you grant us now ears to hear and a heart to understand, Father God. And I uh submit myself now, Father God, to the leading of the Holy Spirit. And I pray that I myself may have ears to hear, a heart to understand, and a mouth to speak the revelation that the Holy Spirit will want to bring to us tonight. Father uh in heaven in Jesus name. I agree with Fred as we bind the enemy right now. Father God as we declare the anointing of God in this place from above, beneath all around us, within us and through us, Father God, that the rivers of living waters that are attached to us through the Holy Spirit that is within us may be loose open today, Father God. Let all of the hindrances, all of the resistance, all of the failures, all of the garbage of the past, let it be washed away by the rivers of living waters, Father God. We don't want religion. We don't want no dead men's tradition. We don't want nothing, Father God, that has to do with the flesh of the world. We pant, Father God, for the rivers of living waters that flow from the heaven above, the door that Jesus has opened for us by writing our names in heaven. We come, Father God, and we thirst. And like Zechariah says that in the day of the latter rains, ask the Lord for rain. We ask for the rain now, Father God. In this day of the latter rain that we may be fed, nourished, and Father God, strengthened for the battle that lies ahead in Jesus name, we thank you, Lord. Amen. Amen. Praise God. Hallelujah. I'm ready to fight. I'm ready to fight. Praise God. Hallelujah. We um uh concluded uh last week and that um um the sixth seal and of course as we have been studying I said that the the first three chapters of the book of revelation chapter 1 2 and three gives us the physical timeline of the church age from the time that it was born to the time that it will be taken away. the Philadelphia church will be taken away, but the uh Leodysa church will have to go through the time of testing that's coming to test the entire world. And so that is a lineal and you can follow it from the letter to the the first church all the way to to the letters of the seven churches. And then I made the point that chapters four, five, and six are now the spiritual revelation of the same events that were given to us during the church age. And then I show by using this paper how the spiritual timelines work. And we see here that um in the whole seven years that God created uh I mean 7,000 years from Adam until the this present physical realm that we know of is done away with when the new Jerusalem comes down from heaven and God comes to dwell with us. uh that there are seven dispensation and we saw that innocent, conscience, human government and promise are the four forces that drive the whole of humanity. So when God enter into the covenant which was the promise that he gave to Abraham out of Abraham came two uh dispensations. One was the law or Israel came through Moses and it was given to Israel and grace the church which God made it through the known through the apostles and especially through Paul as he brought it to us. Now out of the Israel and the church when they two come together out of that time we're going to go into the kingdom age or entering into the rest seventh always means completion or rest. So we also notice that the first part of it deals with the whole 7-year period, the the condition of man, how God had to intervene by giving him a promise and then God introduced the law, his grace and from there to those who respond, we go to the kingdom age. Now the church age was given to us as a seven because God in in God's uh timing seven means a completion of something. God divides things into seven like the week. We have Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and then Sabbath the the seventh, that's when it rests, and then there's a new cycle. It begins again. So, we saw that we were given a message to seven churches. In chapters two and three, we have a physical revelation of the church age. So, since it's physical, it follows one, two, three, four, five, six, and seven because that's how we understand. But in the spiritual realm, following the the way that God does the seven, we can see that when we got to Revelation chapter 6, that God introduced four horses, a white horse, a red horse, a black horse, and a pale horse. And that symbolized the four spirits or the four winds or the four forces that are at work. And what are these forces working for in the spiritual realm? They are working to number one bring Israel which is represented by the law back as a nation and to bring the church which is the grace of God back into the same time to bring them together once again. See the church was born out of Israel. It were all all the apostles were uh Jews who were preaching the gospel. Jesus elected all 12 of them. And so then there was a separation to where the the Jews and were scattered. And so all of these forces have been working together to bring the church back. When John wrote the book of Revelation, Israel had already been out of the land for at least 30 or 40 years because it was in 60 AD that Titus invaded Jerusalem and destroyed the temple, destroyed everything. uh John wrote it probably 90 to 95 AD. So that was 35 years later when John is given this revelation. And so these four horsemen which is the antichrist wars one world economy and then one war that is going to involve oneth of the earth right around where Israel is at. Out of that is going to come two things. Number one, the souls that are under the altar. And we said that the uh under the altar is the blood and the ashes. When you brought a sacrifice, they had an altar. They had a a a a grill on the altar. They brought the sacrifice alive. They slaughter it. The blood ran down and then they burned it. If it was a burnt offering, the whole carcass of the animal was burned. So the ashes went down. So the term under the altar means something that was sacrificed to God completely and it was burned to ashes. Now we know that the Jews what they went through in in in in Europe was called a holocaust. Holocaust means burnt offering. Read the Spanish Bible and you see it. The word that they use for for burnt offering right here is holocaust. Holocaust mean to be burnt. And the reason why they call it the Holocaust is because Hitler burned most of the Jews. Their bodies had to be burned. How do you dispose of six million people? I mean that is that is hard to do. So they bury they had huge masses of of grave but it's too many. So they would burn them. So we see that out of these four horses the antichrist war this came out. And and so we see that because of at the end of World War II, Israel was born as a nation. So Israel was brought into the scene. And then we we saw that in Revelation chap uh I mean on Revelation chapter 6 when the uh fifth seal was open. Then when the sixth seal is open, which has not happened yet, we see that all of a sudden the skies roll back and now we have the spiritual and the physical in the same realm. There's no more wall or sky as where it says the sky receded as a scroll and everybody on the earth now we know that the earth is round and if we're here you go all the way to the other side of the earth there's people there when the sky rolls back it rolls back as much here as it does in China why because this is spiritual that's the spiritual realm so everybody wherever you happen to be on the earth you get to see that the lamb of god the wrath of god and the and the and the wrath of the lamb as it says when the sixth seal is open is ready to take place. And so we, this is what we see here. The wrath of the lamb happens on the sixth seal. And when we get to the uh uh first half of the wrath of God, which is uh uh 1,240, you see the same example. You see that one/ird of the earth, one-third of the sea, one-third of the rivers, one-third of the sun, moon, and stars. And then you see that the result of that is for the first five months tormenting demons are released. God allows all of the demons that are in hell to coexist with the humans here on the earth. And you say, "Well, why would God do that?" Because you tell people about hell, they don't believe it. And people died right now went up to hell and they want to come back and at least warn their families. That's what Jesus told us about Lazarus. Said, "Let me go warn my brothers and sisters." Well, see these people have refused to believe the gospel that has been preached to the whole world. So what God does is for five months he does not allow anybody to die. Nobody can die for five month. Imagine that. You can have somebody that gets beheaded. And I can imagine the the the head can actually still see and guide the body to pick crap and maybe hold it back up in there or something. You can't die. It says that it says and I'm I believe literal as much as I can on the word of God. It says that for five months nobody can die. And what happens is during those five months the demons, all of the demons of hell are released and torment everybody in the earth for five months. It says they tells you what they look like. They got long hair like woman, teeth like lion. And it says they have tails like scorpion. And when they sting you, it's like when a scorpion stings person. This is going to take place for five months. Then at the end of five months which is the uh uh uh uh the sixth trumpet or world two then four destroying angels are released and then everybody now that has repented and that says okay Lord I I know the hell is real I I believe I repent then their death will allow them to enter now into the rest of God. So these angels will come in and kill onethird of all of the humans are on the earth. This is how many people are going to believe. So we see the same principle whether you see it in the 7,000 year period of human history or whether you see it in the 2,000 year of the church you see the seven whether you see it on the 1260 days of the first week of re uh first half of the wrath of God you see it. So this is a spiritual principle which if we understand will help us to understand how things work. So here we have the first three chapters give us the literal or the physical revelation of the church age. We can go through history and we can see it. We can see that in the spirit realm. Chapter 4 showed us heaven before Jesus became flesh. Chapter 5 showed us the word of God coming flesh becoming a man then being worshiped and a and a claimed by everybody in heaven. Then he has now authority to open the seven seals. And as he unleashes the seven seals, we see that he's working on the church age. Now when the sixth seal was open, all of a sudden the sky was removed and now you have the spiritual world that we cannot see now and the physical world that we're in collide at one time. It all becomes one. So this is where we're going to start. If you have the book, we're going to start at page u um was it 29? I said 28. Page 28. This is uh the rapture of the church. And we're going to go to Revelation 7. And we're going to read verses 1-4. If you have your Bible, Revelation is the last book. And it says, beginning on verse one of Revelation chapter 7, after these things, I saw four angels. Now after these things meaning after the six seal was open and everybody saw that the throne of God and everybody saw the lamb and everybody was hiding in the bomb shelters and and told the rocks fall on us and hide us from the wrath of of God and of the lamb which is about to take place. So all of a sudden in Revelation 5:1 it says that four angels were standing at the four corners of the earth holding the four winds of the earth. Now what are the fourth wind? what I just show you in the paper, the the first seal, the second seal, the third seal, the fourth seal, the four horsemen of the apocalypse are like four winds or four influence or four forces that are at work to bring what this time when heaven and earth meet. Now, heaven and earth just met the skies were re uh receded. The judgment of God is about to happen. And then all of a sudden, an angel comes in from the east. He says uh uh after these things I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth holding the four winds of the earth that the wind should not blow on the earth on the sea or on any three. Then I saw another angel ascending from the east having the seal of the living God. And he cried out with a loud voice to the four angels to whom it was granted to harm the earth and the sea, saying, "Do not harm the earth, the sea, or the trees until we have what? seal the servants of our God on their foreheads. And I heard the number of those who were sealed. 144,000 of all of the tribes of the children of Israel were sealed. Now, what is taking place over here is simply this. The church is about to be removed. Why? Because in in in in the message to the church of Philadelphia, uh uh Jesus told John to write, "Because you have kept my word and because you have not deny my name, I'm going to keep you from the hour that's coming to test everybody who lives on the earth." So we keep faith. We believe the word of God. We do not deny the the deity of Jesus Christ. That is our ticket out of here when it comes. So what happens is as the uh uh because we saw that when Peter is quoting Joel that uh the mountains were removed that there was uh billows of smoke and earthquake there was all kinds of things taking place and as this thing frightful things were taking place which are natural events that are taking place and everybody knows that the wrath of God is about to come this angel that comes from the east he said wait a minute we can't begin the judgment yet? Well, why? Well, because we were not appointed unto wrath. Paul says in the letter to the Thessalonians, you have not been appointed unto wrath. So, if the wrath of the land is coming, we have to be taken out. That's what the angel from the east does. Remember, Jesus says that in in his coming, he's going to be like lightning that flashes from the east to the west. He's talking about the rapture. But see, the church cannot be raptured because the church is the anointed entity of God here on the earth. We have been anointed to rule and to reign. That we are the only spiritual authority. Just like Israel was the only authority before that. That doesn't mean that you have to be Jew to be saved. We're not talking about salvation. We're talking about an entity that is in charge of as an ambassador to to bring God's gospel or or whatever the the law for the dispensation is to the world. And so before the church gets taken out, that anointing which is the seal of the living God, when did the seal of the living God come? In the day of Pentecost when the Holy Spirit came and empowered the church, gave it the authority to carry out the work of God. Now that church is going to be removed, Israel has to be sealed. And so Israel responds by offering to God 12,000 young men who have never been with a woman. They're virgin. They're young. They're pure. 12,000 from each tribe. 144,000 are going to be offered to God and they're all will die by the time of the of the 1260 day and the two witnesses will die. So as they are offered to God, the anointing seal, God accepts their offering and their seal on their foreheads. And so here's what's happening. The sixth seal is open. The sky is removed. The world is screaming and crying because the earth is shaking. There's smoke. There's there's all kinds of things going on. The angel that come from the east, that's the rapture. The angel of the rapture says, "Hold everything. We have to transfer the authority from the church before we take it." Because when the church is gone, it's gone. And and the Leo, they say church don't have no authority. They deny Jesus is not it. Revelation 3:20, Jesus said, "Behold, I stand on the door and knock. If you open the door, I'll come in." Obviously, they never open the door. If they would open the door, they go up in the rapture. So, they're left. So, then the authorities transferred to the Jews. Now, who does this transferring? And of course, these are the two witnesses. The two witnesses while this guy is receding and it's back, not not just the angels coming in. The two witnesses come in. They will know what Jewish from what tribe and they will know exactly them to seal. But now here I'm going to give you a key and the key is that there are two clocks. There is a physical clock and there is a spiritual clock and the physical clock is governed by the times and the seasons. For example, uh uh uh uh the the earth takes 365 days to go around the sun. So that's a year. The earth takes 24 hours to go around on itself and within a circle. And that's called a day. And that is the what governs us. Our clock is governed by the position of the earth in relation to the sun. But when God introduced his spiritual clock, his spiritual clock was never dependent upon any physical thing. God just created everything on six days. And he says, "Okay, the seventh day is holy. We're going to rest on it. The seventh day can happen in winter. The seventh day can happen in summer. The seventh day can happen in spring. The seventh day represents God's spiritual clock." So now listen to this. Moses in Psalm 90 and and second Peter tells us that a day is like a year unto the Lord. And now I mean it's like a thousand years. A day is like a thousand years unto the Lord. Of course we have six dispensation. The seventh is when we enter into the day of rest. Revelation six different time says that Christ will reign on the earth for a thousand years. So, we do know that the last day is a Sabbath and it lasts a thousand years. So, that means that the first six days lasted 6,000 years. Okay? That's why when you add the the the calendar from the Bible, you come up that we're about the year 6,000 because we're about to enter into the day of rest. Now, look at this. The day symbolizes a thousand years. Now, if a day symbolizes a thousand years, what does the hour symbolize? Because we know that an a day has 24 hours. Well, guess what? The hour represents a generation. So, you see, out of every thousand years, God counts 24 generations. So, six working days is 144 hours. So when you come to the day of rest, the last hour, the 144th has to be the last one because that then you enter into the day of rest. So that tells us that this event is happening right at the end of 6,000 years because God except from Israel who's going to be now sealed 144,000. What that means is the 100th and 144th generation is the generation that will end time and then we'll go into the transition period of where we go a thousand years and it's physical. Moses says a day is like a thousand years and and and then by implication I know that an hour represents a generation. So there's 104. Adam was the first generation. Jesus says about the generation that will witness the signs on the sky when all of these things begin to happen. Jesus says this generation shall not pass away until all of these words are fulfilled. So the first generation was Adam and Eve. The last generation is the one that gets taken up. But there's more. There's the other time. The other time is the Sabbath time. God comes in through the law, through Moses, says, "Now, I want you to do this." He says, "When you go into the land, I want you to work the land for six years." In other words, you're going to plow the ground. You're going to put the seeds. You're going to take the weeds out. You're going to harvest. You're going to do this for six years. But the seventh year is holy. The land needs to rest. Nobody works on the seventh year. God told him, "Well, that's a problem. If you don't get paid for a whole year, you were in trouble, right?" So God says, "In the sixth year, I will bless you and your crops will produce double and then you put it in your barn." Man, I wish I had that deal today. I like to have every seventh year off without having to work. I have all my needs met, right? So this was idea. Then he says, "You do that is called a sbatical. You do that for a a cycle of seven. In other words, you do it the the first seven, the fourth thing, the 21, and then when you get to the 49th year, this is seven cycles of seven, seven weeks of seven. Then the 50th year is the year of jubilee. Now remember Jesus came, he said, I came to proclaim the year of jubilee, the year, the acceptable day of the Lord. That mean that's the year that you enter into rest. Now if you were an Israelite and you were in the 30th year of the cycle and you fell into death, in other words, you borrow money and you couldn't pay it, you will become a slave, but you have to be released on the 50th year because the 50th meant all of the debts were cancelled, ended. No more death. So if you had a land because all of the Jews inherited a a plot of land, you had a land. It always belongs to you and to your children to your children. After this, you could sell it, but whoever bought it had to figure out, okay, this is the 30th year. We got 20 years until Jubilee. Uh and they'll pay you for those 20 years because on the 50th year, they had to give you the land back. It's a jubilee. You enter into the rest. All of the maps are cancelled. See that is God sabatical clock. Now God comes in during the days of of Noah and he says I am going to bring judgment upon the earth and everything is going to be destroyed and I'm going to do it in 120 years. Now why would God select 120 years? Well, see the 120 years is spiritual and it applies to the church because there were 120 people on the upper room when the Holy Spirit fell upon them. So the 144 represents Israel physical the physical clock the spiritual clock is uh 120. Why 120? Well, God said I'm going to destroy the earth in 120 years. And 120 years exactly the judgment came. the you know in the 120th year the the the gates of the heaven were open the springs were open the water came in everybody was killed now Jesus comes in and says like it was in the days of Noah is going to be at the end time what does it mean well 120 time 50 which is a jubilee leads us exactly to 6,000 so you see what's happening over here like I've been teaching There's a spiritual clock. There's a physical clock. And boom, they're converging 144 generations later from Adam and 120 Jubilees from the day that Adam was created into to go into the garden and go into the rest are all converging at the end of chapter 6. And so here in chapter 7, now we're going to see the result. And the result is first 144,000 are sealed for for Israel. And then uh uh Revelation 7 9 and 10 says after these things I look and behold a great multitude which no one could number of all of the nations, the tribes, peoples and tongues that were standing before the throne and before the Lamb. They were clothed with white robe with palm branches in their hands. And they were crying out with a lou voice saying, "Salvation belongs to our God who sits on the throne and unto the lamb." This is the rapture. Notice that it is people from all nations. Now, notice that this it's not just all nations today because since this is the resurrection, this is all nations that ever existed. out of all tribes, wherever people were, out of all people and all tongues. That means that God is in the business of saving people and he saves people not just through Israel. Because if Israel uh uh failed to proclaim the gospel of God, then nobody got saved on the 1500 years that Israel was a nation. If the church has failed to proclaim the gospel like so so many places have pro uh failed to proclaim, then there will be people from tribes that were lost. But you see, Paul tells us in Romans chapter 1 that God has put within the creation and within the heart of man eternity to where men are convicted by the very creation itself. So out of every tribe, out of every tongue, out of every revelation, even when there was no gospel and and there's plenty of of of uh uh things has been said about that, Buddhist people that were praying to whatever and and had Jesus appear to them. All kinds of things that happened through the ages. And so what happens is this is when all of those people who die believing the word of God, the gospel, whether it was preached through a preacher, whether it was preached through the law or whether it was preached by nature or whether it's preached by your heart. Paul says this and as a matter of fact, let me go there. I want to make sure that I get this point. It's Romans chapter 1, the end of Romans chapter 1. Because I want to make sure that that we understand this is still Jesus, the one who does it is in Romans chapter 1 and uh and verses um let's begin with 17. He says, "For in it," talking about the gospel, he says, "I'm not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it's the power of God unto salvation." Verse 16 and 17 says, "For in this gospel that is a righteousness, the righteousness of God is revealed that goes from faith to faith. And as it is written, the just shall live by faith. For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men who suppress the truth and unrighteousness." And look at verse 19. Because what may be known of God is manifest in them. For God has shown it to them. Meaning that the gospel has been preached to every creature. Look at the next one. For since the creation of the world, see remember from every nation, from every tribe, from every tongue, since the creation of the world, God's invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and godhead, so that they are without excuse. And then he goes on to say that all of this is done through the sacrifice that Jesus gave. So that means that if you live somewhere way out there 3,000 years ago and never heard the gospel of Jesus Christ, yet the gospel was preached to you by the things that were great. God speaks to you. God can speak to you through a song. God can speak to you. I remember when I was young, the first time I got drunk, I walk home, our house was on top of the water and I couldn't go into the house because man, I was moving and I sit there on the edge of on the dock on the water and my head was just going around and then all of a sudden this bright meteorite, whatever it was, just went by. It was 2 3:00 in the morning. Our town hardly had any lights. So, was you could see every star in the Milky Way and the thing just flushed so big in the sky. And I I was just felt so little seeing that. And of course, I was drunk. So this voice spoke to me and it was Satan. He says, "This is what your life is going to be like. Nothing. Nobody's going to see it. Everybody's going to miss whatever it is. Why don't you just end it? It is not worth it." I was saying to myself, "I don't know who you're talking to. I listen to you. I ain't that drunk. I know that for sure." I said, "I I went in and got in the bed and puke all over the place, but man, I wasn't going to jump in the water. you know, I don't care what you say. So, there is a a spiritual battle that takes place even before you're saved. You know, even in the middle of sin, how many people have told you that in the middle of their worst sin, God comes in and speaks to them. So, this is what I say. So, we see then in in Revelation 7 that out of every uh uh tongue all of the nations uh uh are there. Now, look at Revelation 11. 7:11 and uh let me go there real quick and to show you the the same principle. Revelation chapter 7 11 it says and all of the angels stood around the throne and the elders and the four living creatures they all fell to their faces before the throne of God worshiping God saying amen. Amen means this is the end of of of this this concludes the church age. Amen. blessing and glory and wisdom, thanksgiving and honor and power and might. Sevenfold worship of God is given. Then in verse 13, one of the elders comes and asked John, who are this who are clothed with his white robes, and where did they come from? And he said, and I said to him, sir, you know, so he said to me, these are the one who come out of the great tribulation and have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the lamb. See this is the church age because they have made their they have washed it in the blood of the lamb. Now the word there and this is where so many people get confused. The word uh that came out of great tribulation for some reason uh uh uh Bible teachers of the end time. They're telling you that the great tribulation is seven years. And if you were here in lessons past, I explained to you the difference between tribulation and wrath. Tribulation is when God, I mean when people persecute you for your faith in God. The church, if you look at the letter to the churches, they all undergo great tribulation. And one of them says, "You will have tribulation from 10 days." That was the it is historical fact. 10 different emperors persecuted the church that was a span of 200 and some years. So the church have gone through tribulation and has always been going through tribulation. Jesus said in this world you will have tribulation but be of good cheer because I have overcome the world. Wrath is when God judges the earth for persecuting those who trust in his word. See that's the difference. The wrath of God is seven years. The tribulation endures a whole church age. And if you want to look it up, look at the word where it says these are they that came out of great tribulation. The word great is mega. The the word that we use is a Greek word to mean big, but it's plural meaning megas, many. These are they that came out of many tribulation, not one tribulation. And so this will help you to understand that the these are the church because they want to tell you that this happened in the middle of the tribulation. And to explain that they tell you that the 144,000 are evangelists that go out and evangelize the whole world. Nowhere in the Bible is that you see you have to make that up to explain why the rapture takes place in chapter 7 when you're thinking that chapter 4 is when he said come up here. That's that's when the rapture happened. That's if you don't understand the full twofold meaning of it. If you know that the first three chapters are physical and you know that the the that the next three chapters four, five and six are spiritual. They converge and when they converge that's when the rapture happens and then you don't have no problem explain it. That's why he says the these are they that came out of many mega tribulation. Now this possesses a problem. Go with me to Matthew 24 and let's look at verse 36 and 37. In Matthew 24:36 and 37, Jesus says, "But of that day and hour, no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, but my father only." Let me stop there. We're going to deal with with that scripture, some more of that scripture there. But did you know that that is what has made me cele where in the word of God have you ever read God telling you don't read my word you don't need it have you ever read that anywhere is nowhere the opposite right God's always want us to study study to show yourself approved here men have taken the scriptures and they say no one knows the day nor the hour so because of that this Sunday when preachers preach all over the United States probably less than one half of 1% of the messages will be on the book of revelation. Now what is the most important event in the Bible? The Bible is about Jesus and the two most important events is his first coming and his second coming. That's it. The first and the second coming of Jesus. That's the most important of all of the events. The first event already took place 2,000 years ago. The next big event is when he comes back. How many preachers are going to be preaching on the book of Revelation telling you to get ready because Jesus is about to come this Sunday? I bet not too many. And you know why? Oh, no one knows the day nor the hour. So, let's not bother. No one knows. No one knows the day nor the hour. So, let's not bother. So because of this, so many Christians and their teachers and their pastor ignore the book of Revelation and the greatest event that we need to get ready for, which is when Jesus comes back. They don't want to bother with it. But you see what I've been teaching is that the sky is going to recede. It's going to open. There's going to be fire and smoke and all kinds of things before the great day of the Lord. That's what the church was birthed in. Remember Peter quoted Joel Previous Next Home

THE RIB To reveal God’s divine design for the woman as “the helper,” formed from the rib, reflecting God’s own role as Helper. This lesson aims to show how women are uniquely created to protect, strengthen, and pray over their husbands—just as God protects, strengthens, and intercedes for His children. Through Scripture, we explore how the role of “helper” mirrors God’s nature, how the rib symbolizes covering and safeguarding, and how prayer becomes the woman’s spiritual expression of this calling. Whether married or single, every believer can commit to God as their ultimate Helper and walk in the order, strength, and blessing He designed. THE RIB Minister Lisa Kane November 19, 2025 Objective: To reveal God’s divine design for the woman as “the helper,” formed from the rib, reflecting God’s own role as Helper. This lesson aims to show how women are uniquely created to protect, strengthen, and pray over their husbands—just as God protects, strengthens, and intercedes for His children. Through Scripture, we explore how the role of “helper” mirrors God’s nature, how the rib symbolizes covering and safeguarding, and how prayer becomes the woman’s spiritual expression of this calling. Whether married or single, every believer can commit to God as their ultimate Helper and walk in the order, strength, and blessing He designed. Synopsis: Beloved, God did not pull the woman from Adam’s head or his feet—He drew her from the rib, the place of protection, covering, and strength. From the beginning, God revealed His heart: to be a Helper, and to place His helping nature inside the woman. Scripture shows that God Himself is called “Helper” again and again—defending the fatherless, strengthening the weak, and answering the helpless. When God created woman as “a helper comparable to him,” He was sharing His own attribute with her. This lesson walks through Genesis, Psalms, Hosea, the Gospels, and the New Testament to uncover the beauty and responsibility of that role. The enemy seeks the “helpless,” but women were not made helpless—we were made helpers, protectors, intercessors, spiritual rib-cages around our husbands. Through prayer, we guard our households, shield our husbands from attack, and stand in the gap like Jesus did when He prayed for Peter that his faith would not fail. We look at the rib as a symbol of spiritual covering, the unity of becoming one flesh, and the order God established in marriage—wives aligning under God to pray for their husbands, and husbands loving like Christ who gave Himself for the church. This divine order brings transformation to both husband and wife. Finally, the lesson embraces the single believer: God Himself becomes your Helper. The same God who defends the fatherless, strengthens the weak, and stands against every weapon formed is the One who covers you. As you commit yourself to Him, He shapes you into a vessel of love, prayer, and spiritual strength. In all things, we learn that to be “the rib” is not a position of weakness—but a position of divine power, prayer, and purpose, patterned after the very heart of God Himself. Inspired Teaching - Written and/or Transcribed from Video Above: Did you know that God is our helper? Did you know that women made of the rib are made to be helpers in our relationship with our husbands? Genesis 1:26-27 NKJV 26 Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over [g]all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.” 27 So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them. Genesis 2:20-22 NKJV 20 So Adam gave names to all cattle, to the birds of the air, and to every beast of the field. But for Adam there was not found a helper comparable to him. 21 And the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall on Adam, and he slept; and He took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh in its place. 22 Then the rib which the Lord God had taken from man He [h]made into a woman, and He brought her to the man. The term ‘help’ is found 28 times alone in the book of Psalms NKJV. What is the role of the ‘helper’? Psalm 10:8 NKJV 8 He sits in the lurking places of the villages; In the secret places he murders the innocent; His eyes are secretly fixed on the helpless. Our enemy is looking for the ‘helpless’ but us women were made to be helpers of our man. Psalm 10:14 NKJV 14 But You have seen, for You observe trouble and grief, To repay it by Your hand. The helpless commits[a] himself to You; You are the helper of the fatherless. Here we see the Psalmist saying that God is the ‘helper’ to the fatherless. God takes the role of ‘helper’ when needed, and anyone who feels ‘helpless’ can commit his or her self to God. With this, we can see the role of ‘helper’ comes from God and comes from women. Psalm 12:1 NKJV Help,[b] Lord, for the godly man ceases! For the faithful disappear from among the sons of men. Here we see David calling out on God’s ‘help’ because the godly man ceases. God is our helper and will answer our cry for help. Psalm 37:40 NKJV 40 And the Lord shall help them and deliver them; He shall deliver them from the wicked, And save them, Because they trust in Him. So, woman was made from the rib of the man as a ‘helper’ to her man. And as a man and woman, both are made in the image of Him – male and female. Remember Genesis 1:27 we read earlier: 27 So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them. As a man and woman, we complete the image of God but as you also saw, men without a mate, the fatherless, and women without a mate can call on God’s help and God will be our help, completing the image that He created us to be. Hosea 13:7-9 NKJV 7 “So I will be to them like a lion; Like a leopard by the road I will lurk; 8 I will meet them like a bear deprived of her cubs; I will tear open their rib cage, And there I will devour them like a lion. The [e]wild beast shall tear them. 9 “O Israel, [f]you are destroyed, But [g]your help is from Me. There are two important points to grab from Hosea 13:7-9: First, it takes a wild beast that is strong to tear open the rib cage and second, God says the help we have is from Him. That means God has to approve the wild beast to destroy / tear us apart…as long as we’re calling on the Lord, we have God’s help. As we read earlier in Psalms: Psalm 10:14 NKJV 14 But You have seen, for You observe trouble and grief, To repay it by Your hand. The helpless commits[a] himself to You; You are the helper of the fatherless. The helpless commits his or herself to God and God helps. If only Israel had listened… But we can. We can commit ourselves to the Lord and have His help. Now, here is the best part of this teaching, in my opinion. Women were made from the rib. The rib cage protects vital organs inside of us. When we have our mate, we are extension of that rib cage. We can pray for our mate and keep him protected because we represent the help of the Lord. Jesus is our help and He’s praying for us. Luke 22:31-32 NKJV 31 [d]And the Lord said, “Simon, Simon! Indeed, Satan has asked for you, that he may sift you as wheat. 32 But I have prayed for you, that your faith should not fail; and when you have returned to Me, strengthen your brethren.” Women, as we are the helper, we pray like Jesus being the ‘helper’ that we’re made to be. We pray. Mark 10:7-9 NKJV 7 ‘For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, 8 and the two shall become one flesh’; so then they are no longer two, but one flesh. 9 Therefore what God has joined together, let not man separate.” 1 Peter 2:24 NKJV 24 who Himself bore our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live for righteousness—by whose [a]stripes you were healed. Isaiah 54:17 NKJV 17 No weapon formed against you shall prosper, And every tongue which rises against you in judgment You shall condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, And their righteousness is from Me,” Says the Lord. The above scriptures is just a few examples of what we can pray over our man. We pray for our man that ‘no weapon formed against him shall prosper’. We pray ‘that by His stripes we are and were healed’. We pray that no man will separate us because what God brought together, no one will separate’. This is committing and applying God to our relationship as man and woman. This is why Paul says in Ephesians: Ephesians 5:22-28 NKJV 22 Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord. 23 For the husband is head of the wife, as also Christ is head of the church; and He is the Savior of the body. 24 Therefore, just as the church is subject to Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in everything. 25 Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for her, 26 that He might [g]sanctify and cleanse her with the washing of water by the word, 27 that He might present her to Himself a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but that she should be holy and without blemish. 28 So husbands ought to love their own wives as their own bodies; he who loves his wife loves himself. Women, by submitting to God, you are submitting to your husband by praying over him and giving him to God. That prayer causes you to align with God and God moves through your man, changing him to ‘love’ you as Christ loves the church. He also works change in you helping you to be a better woman of God. God is a God of order. He placed this order for us to obey. Obedience is an act of commitment, and this is how we women pray for our man as the ‘helper’ God called us to be. Start praying for your man and your relationship, and watch God make changes in both of you. If you are single, know this: God is your helper. He’s praying for you. Commit yourself to Him and pray over yourself. With you and God praying over yourself, He will change you into a better person demonstrating love and all the fruit of the spirit. Previous Next Home

IN HIS PRESENCE To teach believers the importance of intentionally entering into the presence of the Lord, not just during church gatherings but in personal, daily life. The teaching draws from Psalm 16 to show how God’s presence brings joy, protection, renewal, and healing, and emphasizes the power of speaking God’s Word in faith to invite His presence into every circumstance. IN HIS PRESENCE Minister Lisa Kane December 15, 2024 Objective: To teach believers the importance of intentionally entering into the presence of the Lord, not just during church gatherings but in personal, daily life. The teaching draws from Psalm 16 to show how God’s presence brings joy, protection, renewal, and healing, and emphasizes the power of speaking God’s Word in faith to invite His presence into every circumstance. Synopsis: In this teaching, Lisa Kane shares a heartfelt message on the power and necessity of dwelling in His presence. Beginning with Psalm 16:11, Lisa explains that life in God’s presence is fresh, alive, and filled with fullness of joy. The psalmist demonstrates how to speak to God, to one’s own soul, and to others, acknowledging that true strength comes not from our own goodness but from God’s mercy, grace, and redemption. Lisa emphasizes that entering God’s presence is an intentional act—one that requires stopping, speaking His Word, and putting Him first, regardless of circumstances. She teaches that God’s presence is not limited to church, but is available anywhere: at home, in the car, or in quiet moments of prayer and worship. Through verses in Psalm 16, she highlights how God provides protection, counsel, and stability, holding us together even in seasons of adversity. The message also warns against relying on “other gods”—whether people, doctors, or distractions—reminding believers that faith and trust must be placed solely in the Lord. Lisa explains that healing and renewal flow naturally from being in God’s presence, where sin and its consequences cannot stand. Drawing from both Old and New Testament scriptures, she shows that calling upon the name of the Lord brings salvation, deliverance, and preservation in every situation. Ultimately, In His Presence encourages believers to seek God first, to call on His name, and to delight in Him above all else. The result is joy, peace, strength, and renewal—benefits that far surpass anything the world can offer. 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, December 15, 2024. Welcome. Let's open up in a word of prayer. Father God, we thank you for your word and we know that your word shall not return void. We pray that the hearers and the listeners to this teaching will have hearts prepared to receive you to be in your presence and to feel that anointing of who you are as you touch our hearts and our minds. Thank you, Father God. We love you and praise you and uh thank you that your word does not return void. In the name of Jesus, we pray. Amen. Amen. Okay. Okay. So, the anointing is pretty strong here. So, I'm a little on the emotional side, but we'll get this out. Amen. So, this teaching is called in his presence. So, let's go to our opening scripture here in Psalm 16:11. And we're going to be in Psalm 16 for most of the part of this teaching. Verse 11, thou wilt show me the path of life. The word life means a or another word that you can place in the word of life is alive or fresh. In thy presence or your face is fullness of joy, glee, pleasure, mirth. At thy right hand there are pleasures delightful, sweet for ever more. Well, I'm glad you can join us today here at House of Faith Ministries. Let me show you how I do my teachings. I'm going to present the scripture to you here through the King James version. The bolded words are the words that are in the King James version. But the the translators could have used other words to um express that word if they wanted to. In the case of like word life there is alive or fresh that also just elaborates a little further. So what I'm doing is taking those other words that it could have meant and adding it in because it kind of gives you a bigger picture. Amen. Amen. So, we're going to be talking about in his presence. And there's something about being in the presence of the Lord. And I'm not talking about church. Church is wonderful. I think we need to be at church. Uh we get to um socialize. You you get a second family there. And um you get to pray with one another and you get to um rejoice in praise reports and weep with one another when you're hurting or in pain. Well, here in this teaching in this what I'm talking about in this teaching is in his presence. I'm talking about entering into his presence on your own time. Yeah. Doing it on purpose. I have been teaching for years now about the secret place of the Lord. And in a way, I'm kind of leaning towards that. But as you can see, being in his presence takes purpose. So, we're going to look at what the psalmist says here in Psalm 16 about the purpose of being in his presence and what it does. Now, there are many, many scriptures I can teach on and have taught on about uh being in that secret place with the Lord, but there's something about being in that presence of him. Even when all everything else is going on, you stop and you purposely put him first. Makes a world of difference. Let's go to Psalm 16. We're going to read verses 1 through3. Let's start with verse one. Preserve me, oh God, for in thee do I put my trust. Preserve is hedge about or guard me. And then it says, for in thee do I put my trust. So first I want you to notice uh something. He's talking to God and he's speaking a word. The spoken word is the power that we have in the authority of Jesus Christ. So in the beginning was the word and then if you go down to verse 14 in John chapter 1, you will find out that the word became flesh. Well, in the beginning was the word. Genesis 1 1-4 says, "Let there be light." And there was light and God said saw that it was good. That spoken word is the authority that we have. So this psalmist speaks to his situation. He speaks to God first. Says, "You need to put your hedge around me. You need to guard me. And as I'm fleeing for protection, I'm going to confide in you because that's what that word trust there means." So this is what he's doing. He puts God first. So he's in a circumstance. Whatever it is, it he doesn't say what it is. He's simply saying, "Put your hedge of protection around me and I will trust in you." Okay. Now, verse two, he starts he changes. He He's not talking to God anymore. He's talking to himself. And he says, "Oh my soul, thou has said unto the Lord, thou art my Lord." Now, and thou art my Lord. Again, his soul speaks to God, but he's telling his soul, "I know that you've spoken to God because I know you said, "Thou art my Lord." And when you get to Romans 10:9, it says that if you confess with your mouth, you're speaking a word. says that if you confess with your mouth Jesus is Lord and believe that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved, healed, delivered, preserved. We're going to see more of that here at the end of the teaching. So, here he's saying to his soul, "Thou art my Lord." And then he's acknowledging something here. He says, "My goodness extended not to thee." We can be as good as you think you can be. By the way, how you think and what you believe is what makes you strong. So if you think you're strong and you think you're that good and you got the goods, you know, you're the one who's been in the presence of the Lord, you've been doing all this. Uh-uh. Even though this psalmist has been in the presence of the Lord and he's acknowledged that he's spoken to the Lord, he's also acknowledging that his goodness is worthless. that hasn't he hasn't my goodness extended not to thee there's nothing I can do on this earth in the name of goodness that's going to get to God because God doesn't work that way. God works through redemption. God works through forgiveness and mercy and grace. That's how God works. And and he works by faith. He does not work by how hard or how strong you can handle the situation on your own. It doesn't work that way. Now, let's go to verse three. But to the saints that are on earth, now he has shifted. He's talked to God directly. Then he talked to a soul acknowledging that his soul has talked to God directly. Now he's saying, "But to the saints that are on that are in the earth and to the excellent in whom is all my delight." In other words, into the powerful Savior we have, the powerful Lord we have in whom is all my delight, a valuable thing. Now he's saying, look it, look it. He's saying, I am talking to you saints and to God. I want you to see that I have a delight in my Lord. Even though all this is going on, I delight in him and I put him first by acknowledging and speaking that word. And it's so powerful because he's saying this is my this is what I value. This is what's valuable to me. That's where desire desire is. You value it. Do you desire a new car or do you desire God? God himself and his blessings or just God himself sometimes and that's what this teaching is all about is doesn't matter whether we get healed or not. Sometimes just coming into his presence is enough. It's just what I needed. Even uh people who are non-believers or have one foot in the world and one foot in uh the word even they will acknowledge going to a counselor speaking to someone because they get it off their chest. They go into the presence of this counselor. Well, you have the greatest counselor ever, our heavenly father. He is so valuable. We desire him and his presence. And when you do that, things happen. You get it off your chest. This is someone you can confide in. This is someone who you can trust that this is someone you can call and have him place his heads of protection around you. He's got you. And understand when I talk about being in his presence and and we're not talking about being in church. I've already addressed that. We're talking about stopping wherever you are. It can be in your car. So, we're not talking about a physical place. We're talking about a mental place, a place in the mind that we know we can go before our God, that we can trust in him, that we can know that he's got his hedge of protection around us, and that we take our mouth and acknowledge it. Hallelujah. Verse four, their sorrows shall be multiplied that hasten after another God. Remember he's talking to the saints of the earth and he's saying their sorrows which is idols pain wound shall be multiplied that hast another god their drink offerings of blood will I not offer nor take up their names into my lips. Now I want to pause here and I want to address something because this is going to bring to light hopefully the understanding of this entire teaching. Who do you believe? And I've taught on this before. Do you believe the doctor or do you believe God? And he's clearly mentioning this here. I want you to see that anybody who goes after another god is your doctor your god is your music your god is running away your god. Oh, see the moment you don't put God first, you're doing the opposite. You're going after another God. And whatever sorrow, whatever pain, whatever wound, whatever idol you're looking at is going to multiply and it's not going to help you. So if you've been asking God to heal you, do this, do that, but you do it on Sunday service and the rest of the week you you're just a healing that nobody in your world knows that you even believe in a God. Well, then you're sending mixed messages to God. You know, why should he heal you? I just asked that question. Now, keep in mind, he's going to heal whomever he wants and he has healed unbelievers. So, you know, God can do whatever he wants to do. I'm just trying to get you to understand that when Jesus says your faith has made you whole, your your faith made you healed, you can be healed through your faith. It's up to you if you want to stop and spend some time with the Lord. Now, here's the thing is that it doesn't matter if you get healed or not because just being in his presence is the healing that heals your soul. heals your spirit, heals everything inside, helps you change things and turn things around. It gives you the confidence. It re uh reinvigorates you, gives you energy, strength because that's who God is. He's life. So you become alive, fresh in his presence. Verse five, the Lord is a portion of mine inheritance and of my cup. Which that word cup represents the words to hold together. Let me let me see if I can address this in a way there. Sometimes you get to a line and you are barely holding it together and you know that if that line got crossed, you're going to lose everything in your mind. you're going to lose everything that you you you think it's going to just be all lost at this point because you reach that point, that point where your cup breaks because it's no longer being held together. So it says, "The Lord is the portion of my inheritance and of my cup that hold he's the one that holds it together. Thou maintainest my lot." You see, still the psalmist is saying, "You're holding me together." That's because he's entering into his presence. The psalmist is talking about being in the presence because he spoke into the Lord. He invoked the Lord's by calling on his name, which we're going to see scripture here in just a moment about that. So, he's saying, "The Lord is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup that holds it together." See, God is the one who's going to hold you together. He's the one who's going to keep you from crossing the line. He's the one who's going to show you that that mountain is a molehill, that it's not as big as you think it is, that it is simpler, that life is a joy. Let's continue to see what the psalmist says. Verse six, the lines or your district or the inheritance that that God draws out, that's what this is referring to, are fallen unto me in pleasant places. Yeah, I have a goodly heritage. He's acknowledging life's good for him. So there is now no problem that he was started talking about in verse one. All of a sudden he says, "The Lord has given me my lines, my portions, and they're good." Why? Because he called on the Lord. He's in the presence of the Lord. Have you ever gone into the presence of the Lord and just cried? Man, that's a refreshing thing. I'll tell you what, I I cry a lot. I'm sure you guys are aware of that. And as a result it I mean it just takes it gets comes out of you and you feel really good. You feel very healthy. You feel very strong and you know that God has it. He's taking care of it. So you have a trust that you can rely upon because you went to him and cried it out or you went to him and talked to him about it even just before teaching this. You know, I I'm dealing with a little scheduling issue here with with getting these teachings out and the desire of how much I want to teach you and how much I want to delve into the word of God. And so there I was just crying it out to the Lord, making the inside of me feel vulnerable and having to, you know, address that to the Lord. Yeah, I'm not strong and everything and I'm not holier than that. I make mistakes all the time, but I know who my God is and I choose to be in his presence. It's a choice. It's an action. You have to speak the word and you get into that presence with him. And let me just simply say that there are no describable words for it. But more happens in that moment than any good or a thousand good preachers can preach. You know, don't even, you know, I I know you're you're hearing this message. You're listening, but don't take my word for it. Go try it. Get into the presence of the Lord. Let his Holy Spirit manifest in you and change the way you are on the inside because that's what this is all about. Spending time in his presence. I will bless the Lord who has given me counsel. And that's another thing is that the Lord will give you counsel. Just even reading the word of God here, we're given counsel to come into his presence because we know we're going to get more out of that than we going and seeing a pastor or going and seeing a counselor or going and seeing someone. If you need to be prayed with with someone, go up and be prayed with them. But remember to come into his presence and say, "Lord, I need you. Lord, I I need you." whatever it may be. This is where now you get to come before him. And I love how a lot of the psalmists and David was saying, "Give ear to my word." Call, they're actually tugging on the Lord's ear. Come here. I need you to hear what I'm saying. That's being in the presence of the Lord. Some people think, "No, no, no. That's too holy. I I I'm not worthy to do that. Hey, let me let you in on a little secret." Jesus has redeemed you. And because you're redeemed, God calls you righteous. And he will let you tug on his ear. Hallelujah. You have his attention. Every time you come into his presence, Lord, doesn't matter what. In this case, the psalmist says, "Place your head to protect me, headed your hedge around me to protect me, and then I will trust in you." that's what his need is here in this circumstance. But imagine, Lord, look at my finances. I've got a problem. Or Lord, hey, this doctor is saying something that I disagree with. What can we do to get out of this because I don't want to follow that path. I choose you. And the moment you press in, the moment you're into his presence, the moment you speak your word, things change because that's who God is. He transforms the circumstance and the situation which is what we need. And look at this. So I will bless the Lord who has given me counsel. Talking about what the Lord is doing to him. So he's going to bless him. He says, "But my reigns," by the way that's kidneys or figuratively the mind. It's from the inside. My reigns also instruct me in the adversity seasons or the night seasons. My reigns, we want to do things our way. And when we're in that night season, that dark time, that pain wounded moment when we are in that situation, he is telling us he's going to bless the Lord no matter what. See, he can't sleep at night. Whatever the circumstances, it is bothering him. It is hurting him. And he's saying, "I'm going to bless the Lord. Even with my mind, which is telling me to worry about it, never mind. I'm going to choose to bless the Lord. I'm going to choose to enter his presence. I'm going to choose to call upon the name of the Lord Jesus and be saved, healed, delivered, preserved." We're going to see that here shortly. And notice he's making um active decisions in this. He's deciding to do this. Verse eight, I have set the Lord always before me. Always before me. There's moments where we're in full joy, but he's saying, "I love you, Lord. I bless you, Lord. I thank you, Lord." There's moments though that he's he's in a circumstance. Well, Lord, I'm going to call on you anyways because you're my inheritance and I bless your name and I call on your name and I know you are there and I will trust and confide in you. So, he says, "Always before me, because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved or wavered." Meaning, he's going to continue to do that. The devil can't touch him. If you're in a situation where you're dealing with circumstances, a lot of it might be because you're not spending time in the presence of the Lord. But when you get there, he can't even touch you because you're so busy saying, "Lord, I bless you. Lord, I love you. Lord, I give you glory. Lord, I know you got this situation taken care of." That is what we're talking about. This is the type of moment we should be in at all times. Ready for it because life will throw us curve balls. Curveballs. We know that. We've all experienced those things. But God, he intervenes because where is he? I have said the Lord always. He is at my right hand. He's right here holding on to my hand. Amen. I shall not be moved, wavered. And then verse nine, therefore my heart is glad and my glory rejoice rejoicth. My flesh also shall rest in hope, a place of refuge because he knows. Give it a little bit more time and the circumstance is going to turn around. You see, prayer works. And when you pray, you speak the spoken word and you're in his presence because you blessing him. you're calling on him, everything turns around for the better. Look at verse 10. For thou will not leave my soul in hell. Hallelujah. Cuz see, the spirit that I just taught on this last week, the spirit that is in me is the same spirit that's in Christ. And that spirit rose Christ from the dead is going to raise me up from the dead as well. And the psalmist knew this. And he hadn't even met Jesus, but he knew who God is, the father. and who that's who he's acknowledging in his presence. He's coming into his presence. For thou wil not leave my soul in hell, neither wil thou suffer appoint thine holy one to see corruption or destruction. You see, God doesn't want to see us destroyed. He doesn't want to see us lose, but he's trying to teach us how to come to him first and how to be in his presence, how to call on his name, how to put him into the circumstance because unbelievers and believers alike all face the same circumstances. How do you face yours? Are you calling on the name of the Lord? Are you spending time in his presence so that you know to call on the name of the Lord? be encouraged as you spend more time in the presence of the Lord, the more you're going to be calling on him. And that's the way it ought to be. Amen. And then coming back to our opening scripture here, thou wil show me the path of life. Oh, see these are the results of pushing in, talking to him, acknowledging to your soul and acknowledging to the Lord that you will bless him and that I'm not going to move because you're at my right hand. Here he's saying, you're going to show me the path of life and in your presence is the fullness of joy. At thy right hand there are pleasures for e forever more. This is what we have gi been given and we ought to call him on it. And by the way, all of us should do that because we all have that right to it. Romans 10:13, for whosoever shall call. See, the psalmist spoke. Jesus spoke. And here Romans is telling us, call, speak, invoke, worship, decide, appeal upon the name of the Lord, and you'll be saved, delivered, protected, healed, preserved. Not just from eternal death and hell, but for eternal life and every situation you face. It's almost like being at a bank and and bank robbers rob uh walking in. Call upon the name of the Lord. He will save you out of that situation immediately. Immediately. Please understand this. This is He's there. He, you know, when Peter saw Jesus walking on the water, I talked about this last week. Peter, you know, said, "If you are the Lord, call me out to you." And and the Lord said, "Come out here." And he did until the moment he realized he he perceived all of a sudden, "I'm doing something I'm not supposed to be doing. I'm walking on water." And he starts to sink. And he says, "Jesus, save me." Call and puts his arm out. And Jesus immediately was right there and saved him. Jesus will save us immediately. You need to invoke him. Worship. Even before I talked to him about this, I was worshiping the Lord. As I was preparing for this, folding my laundry, putting away just worshiping the Lord and just telling him how holy he is because I didn't know what to teach on today. and and I just have to trust in the Lord of what he's going to do. And it is so wonderful because he's showing me and as I was standing there being in his presence, how wonderful. I mean, it it does so much to what's going on on the inside. And he's saving me, delivering me, healing me, preserving me. Oh, hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. I didn't go to the next scripture. Let's go to Psalm 103 and look at the blessings we have here. These are uh the blessings that this psalmist wrote. And he says in verse 10, "He hath not dealt with us after our sins, nor rewarded us according to our iniquities." Very important to understand here. You're saved. Don't let the devil tell you otherwise. God doesn't deal with you based on your sin. And that's exactly what he's saying here. He's not rewarding us for that either. He says, "For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is his mercy toward them that fear him." That is so very important that we understand his mercy. We can come into his presence every single time and be saved every single time. come out of our circumstance and situation every time we can call on his name, invoke his name, declare his name. That's the right we've been given. Go back. Let's go further back into Psalm 103. Let's read verses 2 through5. Bless the Lord, oh my soul, and forgot forget not all his benefits. You see, you've been redeemed and you ought to be walking in it, which means being in his presence, which is better than going to a movie, better than going out with friends. Better than this or that. You can go out with friends. There's nothing wrong with that. But make sure that you also put your time in into his presence. Amen. Who forgiveth all thine iniquities. He pardoned us. Who healed health men, all thy diseases. He's healed us. He's healed us from our sicknesses and diseases. Every time you spend time in the Lord, I've been teaching on this for years as well. You sin and the consequence of sin cannot stand in the presence of the Lord. So when you press into his presence, sin has to flee. Which means the consequence of sin has to flee. cancer, sickness, diseases, they're gone. They're healed because he pardoned our iniquities and he healed all of our diseases. Who redeemed us. He bought us back. He bought us life from destruction. He crowns us with loving kindness and tender mercies. And he satisfies our mouth with good things so that our youth is renewed like the eagles. I'm 55 years old now. I could use some renewing of the youth like the eagles. I'm going to tell you this is what we ought to do as believers in Christ. Come into his presence. Get these benefits. And if you have to remind yourself, print, type up these scriptures, print them out, put them up on your wall. Every time you see them, you declare it. You speak it because you invoke the name of Jesus. You're reminding your soul. You're reminding your body. You're reminding your flesh. You're reminding your life that he comes first. Amen. Let's close in a word of prayer. Father God, we thank you for your word and we bless your word. We pray that we apply your word and that it does not leave our minds and our hearts that we live it and give you the glory, the honor, the praise, and the strength. Thank you, Father God, for be our being our savior, our redeemer, and our healer. In Jesus name we pray. Amen. Amen. God bless. Have a great week. I'll see you in the next video. Bye-bye.

THE BATTLE IS NOT YOURS: PERSONAL TESTIMONY The objective of this message is to encourage believers to place their trust in God when facing overwhelming battles, both personal and global. Drawing from 2 Chronicles 20:15 and supported by personal testimony, the message emphasizes that the struggles we encounter—whether sickness, family trials, or natural disasters—do not belong to us but to God. Through prayer, humility, and steadfast faith, Christians are reminded to stand firm, knowing that victory has already been secured through the Lord. THE BATTLE IS NOT YOURS: PERSONAL TESTIMONY Minister Lisa Kane October 10, 2024 Objective: The objective of this message is to encourage believers to place their trust in God when facing overwhelming battles, both personal and global. Drawing from 2 Chronicles 20:15 and supported by personal testimony, the message emphasizes that the struggles we encounter—whether sickness, family trials, or natural disasters—do not belong to us but to God. Through prayer, humility, and steadfast faith, Christians are reminded to stand firm, knowing that victory has already been secured through the Lord. Synopsis: Lisa Kane opens the message with prayer, acknowledging God’s power and faithfulness. The central scripture is taken from 2 Chronicles 20:15, where God tells King Jehoshaphat, “Be not afraid nor dismayed by reason of this great multitude, for the battle is not yours, but God’s.” This biblical foundation demonstrates how God prepared victories for His people even from generations prior, showing His sovereignty over history and present struggles. Lisa weaves this teaching into a personal testimony concerning her mother’s ongoing battle with cancer and recent medical complications. Despite devastating news and multiple delays in treatment, she testifies to God’s sustaining hand through visions, dreams, and the unwavering faith of her family. These experiences parallel Jehoshaphat’s reliance on God, revealing how the Lord still intervenes on behalf of His people today. The message also extends outward to the global stage, reflecting on recent natural disasters such as Hurricane Milton, and how prayer played a role in lessening its impact. Lisa stresses the importance of preventive prayer—praying ahead of time against storms, hardships, and attacks of the enemy. She calls believers to pray fervently for Israel, for their families, and against the schemes of the adversary, reminding them that no weapon formed against God’s people shall prosper. In closing, she reassures listeners that while battles may rage, the ultimate victory is already secured. The war is won through Christ, and God Himself is our shield, buckler, and King of Glory. The message ends with prayer, lifting up personal and collective needs, while declaring confidence in God’s faithfulness and peace. 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 message on Thursday, October 10th, 2024. Welcome. Let's open up in a word of prayer. Father God, we lift you up, bless you for you are mighty, you are faithful, you are true and glorious. And we thank you, Father God, for who you are. And we thank you for revealing and showing us who you are. And I thank you, Father God, that we can trust in you to take care of our battles because we already know we won the war. Thank you, Lord, in the name of Jesus. Amen. Amen. Amen. God bless you. Welcome. I'm glad that you're here. Hey, listen. I'm going to do something a little different today. Now, I'm called to teach and preach the living word of God. Now ordinarily I focus on teaching and that's what I do today. We're going to preach um and I want to share personal testimony with you. So this this uh preaching is called the battle is not yours and it's a personal testimony that I'm going to share here. So let's go to our opening scripture here at 2 Chronicles 20:15. And he said hearken ye all Judah, ye inhabitants of Jerusalem, thou king Jehoshaphat. Thus saith the Lord unto you, be not afraid, nor dispa, nor dismayed by reason of this great multitude, for the battle is not yours, but God's. Okay. So, what I'm going to do is I'm going to explain the context of that scripture and uh I'm going to preach it and then what we're going to do is I'm going to share a personal testimony of what's going on right now uh not only in our lives but in the world and kind of show you how God is moving because this is incredible. So, today is the day after Hurricane Milton hit Florida. So there's a lot going on and I want to share that with you. So let's get into the scripture here. So we have a foundation because everything God does is through his scriptures. So when he reveals visions or dreams to you, they will always always line up with the word of God. So let's get into why God said this to Jehoshaphat. So it says here in 2 Chronicles 21 20:1 and we're going to be primarily in chapter 20 here in 2 Chronicles. It came to pass after this also that the children of Moab and the children of Ammon and with them other beside the Ammonites came against Jehoshaphat to battle. So Jehoshaphat's a king. We have this uh this group of people that are coming to attack him. Now I want you to see something here because see God connected all this for me. I'm in the book of de Deuteronomy. Started reading it a few days ago and I read little chunks of it. I don't usually go by chapters. I just read chunks of it and I study and and stick with that part of it. So, as I was reading that, so Tuesday night, the revelation of the battle is not yours. And then Wednesday morning with this personal testimony I'm going to share with you, uh you're going to see how this is very accurate and appropriate, how God plans things in advance. So now I want to go to Deuteronomy because we're going to come back to 2 Chronicles here. But look in Deuteronomy 2 chapter uh chapter 2:es 4 and 5. This is Moses. He's saying he the book of Deuteronomy is like um a retelling of everything and summarizing it and showing what the Lord did. Okay. So Moses is writing this is chapter 2:es 4 and 5. and command thou the people, this is the Lord telling Moses, command thou the people, saying, Ye are to pass through the coast of your brethren, the children of Esau, which dwell in Seir, and they shall be afraid of you. Take ye good heed unto yourselves. Therefore, meddle not with them, for I will not give you of their land, know not so much as a footreath, because I have given Mount Seir unto Esau for a possession. So now when you come back to 2 Chronicles, you see that Ammon and them are coming back to attack Israel. Jehoshaphat. So it says here, "And the children of Moab, the children of Ammon, and with them other beside the Ammonites came against Jehoshaphat to Bal." So this remnant that didn't get taken care of by Moses and Joshua back when they came in for the land, all of a sudden here they are now coming after Israel many, many years later. So look what Jehoshaphat does. So whenever you see the enemy coming after you, remember this because I'm going to show you how we're going to apply the scripture here. So, he is a teaching as well, but you're going to see the excitement part of the preaching here. Look at what he does. This is verse three in 2 Chronicles 20. We're going to read all the way to verse 15 because I want you to get the whole uh gist of it. And Jehoshaphat feared and set himself to seek the Lord and proclaimed a fast throughout all Judah. And Judah gathered themselves together to ask help of the Lord. Even out of all the cities of Judah, they came to seek the Lord. And Jehoshaphat stood in the congregation of Judah and Jerusalem in the house of the Lord before the new court and said, "Oh Lord God our fathers of our fathers, art not thou God in heaven, and rulest not thou over all the kingdoms of the heathen and in thine hand? Is there not power and might, so that none is able to withstand thee? Art not thou our God who distrive out the inhabitants of this land before thy people Israel and gavest to the gavest it to the seed of the Abra of Abraham thy friend forever and they dwelt therein and have built thee a sanctuary therein for for thy name saying if when evil cometh upon us as the sword judgment or pestilence or famine we stand before this house and in thy presence for thy name is in this house and cry unto thee in our affliction. Then thou wilt here and help. Verse 10. And now behold the children of Ammon and Moab and Mount Seir, whom thou wouldest not let Israel invade when they came out of the land of Egypt. Remember Deuteronomy, that's what I just read. But they turned from them and destroyed them not. Behold, I say, how they reward us to come to cast us out of thy possession which thou hast given us to inherit. Oh our God, wilt thou not judge them? For we have no might against this great company that cometh against us, neither know we what to do, but our eyes are upon thee. And all Judah stood before the Lord with their little ones, their wives, and their children. Then upon Jehaziel, the son of Zechariah, the son of Beniah, the son of Jiel, the son of Mataniah, a Levite of the sons of Asaf, came the spirit of the Lord, in the midst of the congregation. And the spirit said, "Hearken ye all Judah, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem, and thou, King Jehoshaphat, thus saeth the Lord unto you, be not afraid, nor dismayed by reason of this great multitude, for the battle is not yours, but God." Oh, this is awesome. I want you to see this. I want you to understand that Jehoshaphat became aware th this group of people that was not taken care of back in the days when they came out of the wilderness that they are now having to deal with them. And Jehoshaphat says we don't have the strength to do this. But God said this battle is not yours. I want you to see something. God preset. He set this up back in the day of Moses for Jehoshaphat to show this miracle in his day and his time so it can be recorded so that you and I know how to go before the Lord when the enemy comes attacking us. Now let's go to verse 17 and 18. Ye shall because we got to continue on with what what the Lord is saying. Ye shall not need to fight in this battle. Set yourselves stand ye still and see the salvation of the Lord with you, oh Judah and Jerusalem. Fear not, nor be dismayed. Tomorrow go out against him, for the Lord will be with you. And Jehoshaphat bowed his head with his face to the ground. And all Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem fell before the Lord worshiping the Lord. Oh, okay. So now here comes the preaching. I've just read the scriptures. That's all the scriptures I have. I might quote more. You can go do your homework and go check them and and fact check me. I I truly encourage you to do that. So here now notice um Jehoshaphat still is going to go to war with him. He's still going to have to battle. But he's saying the Lord's telling you have this. This is yours. I've given them to you. Don't be afraid. Now go do it. Go take them. They're yours. Now, what I want to do is I want to take uh the rest of this time to really share testimony and show you what is going on in the land because what you just saw in scripture is what is to be applied to what's going on. So, we have a personal attack on our family right now. My mom is in the hospital. She has been fighting cancer now for the last couple of years on and off. Had been cleared. Then it came back. She's had a a a hyerectomy. She's had radiation treat. In fact, her last radiation treatment was the day before we left California and moved to the state of Missouri. So, it the timing and then that that drive here. She never got sick, never had any issues. She's been doing fantastic. And then uh a couple of months ago, they noticed her lymph nodes were a little swollen. So they had to do a biopsy which took two three months. There was the paperwork wasn't written right. So there I want you to see there's a battle going on here. So the paperwork wasn't right. The doctor sent it back. He said it needs to not say ultrasound. Has to say a cat scan. Anyways, so she had the um biopsy done and we've been waiting for the results. I kept telling her October 14th. I kept telling her calling. In the meantime, shortly after having this biopsy, her legs started cramping and she was having some serious issues. So, um, she finally ended up in the emergency room. This was, so today is, uh, Thursday the 10th. Last Thursday, she went into the emergency room and the local hospital here that she was at, um, discovered she had a blood clot, a large one, in her leg. they would have to do surgery to remove it. Now, one of the side effects of this cancer is that you get blood clots. On top of it all, the emergency room doctor had no idea she did not know the results of her test yet and told her the results and felt bad because he didn't know she knew. So in that moment, my mom finding out that she had cancer again, uh the emotional waterworks went off and it was like a you you got these uh blood clots and then this cancer announcement and talk about a onetwo punch, you know, and and I stand in faith, but you know, you still get knocked down and I was knocked down. And it was interesting to see my daughter and my husband actually stand up with faith. And it was so awesome to see them stand up with faith. So that day was tough, but we got over there about I I got to the emergency room about 3:00 that afternoon, visited with mom and got past the waterworks and just saying, "Okay, Lord, this is yours. we have and we started, you know, one of the things that we one of the ways that we cope with these types of things is we actually kind of goof off and joke around, laugh, um remember funny things, which is very good. This is healthy. You want your spirit to be laughing and and be full of joy. You do not want to be down and depressed here. You you've got to really overcome and it is challenging. So, actually, I left because we were much better spirit at that time. I did my shopping, went out to dinner that night. They end up airlifting my mom to Tulsa, Oklahoma. By the way, my mom was born in Tulsa, Oklahoma. So, talk about a full complete circle here cycle. So, they airlifted her in a helicopter there. She got to have special privilege treatment. So, she was supposed to have surgery on the blood clot and that kept getting pushed out. Was supposed to be done on that Friday. The doctor had to leave for an emergency. Then, it was supposed to be done Sunday. Then it was supposed to be done Monday, but it got done Tuesday halfway. Apparently, there were so many people who needed this type of service and some were worse in worse condition than my than my mom. My mom was still able to uh get up and walk a little bit. She was still able to move. Uh she did they did find a blood clot in her lung um but it was very uh small. It wasn't impacting her breathing. She was not in a critical but she was stable. So because she was stable, her surgery kept getting pushed out because all these emergencies were coming in. So then she has the surgery uh she had it on Tuesday. They came in and they said uh where the aort splits there, the main aort. That's where they went in. They come in from the right moving their way to the left. The the blood clot, the large one is in her left leg. in that little bit of space. They pulled out so many blood clots that they had to stop the surgery and u because it was too much. And they said that they they're going to resume and do another surgery because she um you know they don't want to lose all her blood and uh you know be a life-threatening situation. So they stop the surgery. They still have not got to the large blood clot. Now I want you to see something here. You see how many blood clots she has? So many. So so much so that this surgery had to be stopped and it's going to be done again. They're scheduling it for Friday. We're now hearing if anyways I don't know if it's going to happen Friday or not. So this was Tuesday and I'm thinking in my mind, wow, that's a lot of blood clots. It didn't go to her heart. I said to my mom before I left Tuesday, we were there at the hospital with her. I told her, I go, "You know what? God's not done with you." I said, "Uh, with that many blood clots, they it's bound to hit her heart." And it didn't. So, that night, Tuesday night, I'm in a Bible study with my old church and uh she's the one who said, "The battle's not yours." And uh we prayed. And while we were praying, and this is actually even praying before she prayed for her, it was just she started praying at the end of the the thing, but it really wasn't the closing prayer, but it was was weird weird. Just this prayer pops out and I have my eyes closed and I'm speaking in tongues and I'm praying and I have this vision and I see arrows. Well, I see my mom's face first and I see these arrows shooting at her. And I see God stand in front of her, taking the arrows, and then I see him lifting her up and holding her, covering her, kissing her, loving on her, letting, you know, just being there comforting her. And I was like, "Wow." You know, so Wednesday morning, I call my mom to tell her that. Well, my daughter Tuesday night had a dream. She wakes up about 3:00 in the morning and she has a dream where we're praying over her and touching her legs and her arms and that everything's being pushed to her stomach and she's vomiting it out and I'm like, "Oh, wow. This, you know, my daughter's telling me this. This is" and she woke up vomiting or, you know, gagging to vomit. So, it's incredible what we just heard from the Lord, which is Psalm 91. So again, anything you hear from the word of God uh in your mind or through a dream or a vision, it always has to land uh line up with the word of God. And I know the prayer that I put in on Tuesday was the same uh scriptures. I I use a scripture and a prayer uh for a quick moment with God here at the House of Faith Ministries. It's something that you can look at every day. I do this because it started that way in my life where I did little small popcorn prayers with scriptures and then my life my faith grew and it changed. So I I put this in here for new believers for uh people who just want to just start off. You just start small with the Lord and that's why I do this. But anyways, that scripture I put up was on um biblegateway.com. My dad happened to read that scripture and he was quoting it to me when we were on our way to go see her on Tuesday. So all of these things were going on. So Wednesday morning, we get up and I'm like I just flat out told I I get over there, we we get to um the hospital room on Wednesday or the Yeah, she's she's admitted she's in a hospital room and we were talking her sharing her with us. We had holy communion. We prayed and I just told her straight up, you are coming home with us. You're it's not your time. You're not done. And and the the battle is not ours. God has already dealt with it. So, we pray and we're continuing to pray and the power of prayer is working. So, I know she's going to come home. It's the same time when my dad was having back problems. I had a dream of him hopping from one side to the other. And I knew he would be healed. Same way I know my mom is coming home with us. It's not her time. In the meantime, the other thing I want to show you on this because I know we're still battling with my mom. pray. I encourage you to pray for her. Pray for the House of Faith Ministries. Pray for each of us because this is a battle, but at the same time, we're at peace now. And I really want you to see, in fact, when I was sharing it Tuesday night, one of the ladies there was shocked at how calm I was sharing this. She said she'd be just in a curled up ball crying. Well, that's how I felt initially. But see, I know somebody who's bigger, better, and stronger than anyone else, and that is God, my father. And by his son, no weapon formed against us shall prosper. By his son, his stripes, we were made whole. This is scriptural. And this is a a spiritual battle that's taking place. So, even though surgeries aren't happening when they're supposed to, even though we know that she has all this, God has her just sitting there waiting for her, holding her together. She's having to lay there. She's walking very little, but God, I know he's going to bring her back. So, now I want to show you all the other things that was going on all at the same time. So like when uh Satan decides to attack, he he attacks in bulk. So just before my mom and this situation happen, my daughter loses her job. My youngest grandson now needs to be homeschooled. It's a whole another story there. But uh lots of things are changing there. My husband, they almost laid him off at work. They had laid off over 700 people from his work. He was not one of them. And uh I told him, I said, "They they value you. You're a very important person there." So it was like we just but these were the things that were going on and now I want you to see some of the physical things around the world that's going on while Hurricane Helen hit over there and hit North Carolina really bad over there. Hurricane John was hitting Aapoco. So you can see both these areas had got hit hard. Then you had this hurricane Milton that hit last night coming in and it was just shy of a category 6 hurricane. You have meteorologists that were crying on TV. One who said that if you do not leave, you will die. But it's weird that that's become spiritual. So I know that I went before the Lord and I said, "Lord, I'm praying for this situation and I'm I'm giving it to you." And I didn't realize how many people had been praying. But that category five, Hurricane Milton dropped to a category three when it hit only shy a little bit of time as a three and it went down to a two. But and in the meantime, it had record 120 plus tornadoes hit. That's incredible. But I want you to see the power of prayer. We may have came to the game a little late with the hurricanes and didn't pray and do the preventive stuff early on, but we got there. And the moment God heard us call to him, he dropped that. And now today, they have blue skies. They're going to have a lot of debris. They got to clean up. And I know that I believe there's loss of life there with the tornadoes. So, I'm just saying though, we can see the hand of God moving here. So, now what I'd like to do is encourage you to begin to pray and do what's called preventive prayer. You see, we have coming up. Understand this. This is just the beginning of sorrows. You can go read Matthew 24. This is just the beginning. We're I don't think the rapture is happening at this time. I know we're past Rashashana, but the we're up to Yam Kapor, the days of atonement. You can see how during this time the devil is attacking because people are repenting. People are coming back to the Lord. I have been praying for different groups of people, the LGBTQ and others, other groups, and I'm seeing through my social media people repenting and coming back to the Lord saying, "I don't want to go to hell." That's I mean, they're just straight out saying it. This is incredible. And then people seeing this weird, and anytime I use the word weird, I think it's spiritual attack of hurricanes. No, no, no. That's the devil. But God says the battle's not yours, but he does want you to pray. What did Jehoshaphat Jehoshaphat do first? He humbled himself before the Lord. Went to the congregation where he knew God resided. And he says, "I know you're the God of Abraham. I know you're real. I know you're here. I'm coming to you." See, you are dealing with whatever battles you're dealing with. And then of course, especially for people in Florida having to recover from being hit by two hurricanes back to back and uh loss of possessions, these sort of things are taking place. But God, see, this is where you go up and say, you know what, Lord, I know you're God and I'm going to be at peace because you have won these battles. We need to keep praying and we need to do preventive prayer. We have to start praying for things that might come. Pray for hurricanes and tornadoes that might come or flooding that might come. We need to be in prayer against that before it gets here. So, it doesn't get here. And we don't have the loss of life and loved ones and that pain and suffering that comes along with the with the devastation or feeling of devastation. and feeling devastated, feeling lonely, feeling depressed. This is the time where we need to pray against all of that. And then we need to be praying, you know, go to the empowering prayer section of the House of Faith Ministries. There's things in there that we pray. We need to be praying for Israel. We need to be praying for Jerusalem. We need to be praying still for the hostages. It's been a year anniversary now since the 7th. So we they and they still hostage after a year. It's incredible. And they have released other hostages. You hear their testimonies. This is a time where like Jehoshaphat, we go before the Lord and say, "Lord, look what the enemy is doing." And when we humble ourselves before the Lord, we need to ask him to forgive us because we mess up all the time, guys. I'm telling you, we need forgiveness. So, just go to him. Ask for forgiveness even for the things you don't even know. Just say, "Lord, forgive me for everything." And then ask him to help you turn your life around so that you are praying effectively, fervently. As you see right up in here, pray fervently. Pray without ceasing. Ceizing. 1 Thessalonians 5:17. We need to be praying. Praying and praying. I can't emphasize this enough. And how do you pray? You can pray anywhere at any time. I think this is one of the reasons why God makes us go to the bathroom. So, we have a moment or two to stop, do what we have to do, and pray. I am I can't stress this enough. You need to be in your secret place. You need to be putting God first. And and the moment you see an attack coming on, you say, "No, no, no, no. This stops here. This stops now." Like Jehoshaphat, he went before the Lord. I don't know what to do, Lord. I'm I'm at I don't know what to do. And the Lord says, "The battle does not belong to you. I've taken care of it. So, I want you to know that the b the battle does not belong to you. For that matter, the war doesn't belong to you. And for that matter, we've already won the war. Go read the end of Revelation. You will find that the devil, in fact, those of you who are believers, catch us. You can go read it in Revelation. We're going to look, we're going to see the devil being uh arrested and thrown into lake of fire or put chains on him and put away or something like that. H I don't remember if it's before the millennia or after, but you we're going to be looking at him and we're going to be like that little thing and it's going to be a little angel that's going to come deal with him. We have massive big strong angels on our side also who is fighting our fights for us. He is our shield. He is our buckler. He is the king of glory. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Oh, anyways, let me close in prayer. We're going to pray. I want to pray for my mom. I want you to agree with me in prayer. Let us pray because we have the victory already. That's what dreams and visions are for are to encourage us in those moments where we know he's moved and it's it's scriptural. So, we see the scripture. So, sometimes he just gives us the scripture, but I'm glad for the extra that we got this time. It just builds my faith up. And I'm hoping to give that faithb building love to you. Amen. Amen. Let's close. Father God, Lord, first of all, we lift up every one of our needs before you. And we pray preventively because we are weak. You are strong. And Father God, we pray that we know that you're moving on our behalf. You are our shield and buckler. You are standing in front of us. And so Lord, we give you the glory, the honor, the praise, and the strength for you take care of the battles. You are mighty and you are strong, and we're going to trust in you. So we place all of our needs before you. Whether we're a victim of a hurricane or something else, battle of cancer, whatever it is, we know that you have this, Lord, and the battle belongs to you. So we place it here and we will stand and walk in peace with the anointing of the Holy Spirit because you are God. You are righteous and you have let us know who you are. So we are reminded and we come before you, praising you, honoring you, worshiping you, lifting you up for you are truly king of glory and you have the battle. You have the war and we walk in peace and in comfort. We are filled up with joy, love and peace. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. 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
