WHEN HEZEKIAH TURNED HIS FACE TO THE WALL To illustrate how King Hezekiah’s prayerful response in a moment of crisis demonstrates the power of faith, humility, and personal relationship with God, showing believers today that sincere, heartfelt prayer can change outcomes and align us with God’s mercy and intervention. WHEN HEZEKIAH TURNED HIS FACE TO THE WALL Minister Lisa Kane March 22, 2025 Objective: To illustrate how King Hezekiah’s prayerful response in a moment of crisis demonstrates the power of faith, humility, and personal relationship with God, showing believers today that sincere, heartfelt prayer can change outcomes and align us with God’s mercy and intervention. Synopsis: In this teaching, “When Hezekiah Turned His Face to the Wall,” Lisa Kane explores the powerful account of King Hezekiah in Isaiah 38, 2 Kings 20, and 2 Chronicles 32. Hezekiah, a righteous king who restored the temple and led Judah back to honoring God, faced a prophetic word of death from Isaiah. Instead of accepting his fate, Hezekiah turned his face to the wall, prayed with sincerity, reminded God of his faithful walk, and wept bitterly. This heartfelt plea moved God to extend his life by fifteen years and grant deliverance from Assyria. The message emphasizes the importance of an intimate relationship with God, where prayer is not ritualistic but a genuine conversation that moves His heart. Lisa highlights that when we walk uprightly before the Lord and face adversity, we too can boldly approach Him, pour out our hearts, and expect His intervention. Yet, the story also serves as a reminder that pride can hinder gratitude and blessings, and that humility keeps us aligned with God’s will. Ultimately, this lesson encourages believers to reflect on their own walk with God—asking whether they are living faithfully, seeking His kingdom first, and ready to turn their face to the wall in prayer, trusting Him to move for His glory and for their good. Inspired Teaching - Written and/or Transcribed from Video Above: Hello and welcome to the House of Faith Ministries. I'm Lisa Kanan recording this teaching on Saturday, March 22nd, 2025. Welcome. Let's open up in a word of prayer. Father God, we thank you for your word. We pray that your word does not return void. We pray that your word penetrates our hearts and that we can walk in this belief knowing that you are there. We can have a relationship with you and that when we cry unto you, you hear us. and you intervene. Thank you, Lord. In the name of Jesus, we pray. Amen. Amen. Amen. Thank you for joining me today. I'm calling today's message when Hezekiah turned his face to the wall. Let's look at our opening scripture here in Isaiah 38:2 that Hezekiah turned his face toward the wall and prayed unto the Lord. Now when you look at the scripture on the screen here, I just want to explain how I teach. When the word is bolded, like the word turned is here, that's the original word in the translation from King James version. The words in parenthesis are other words that could have the the translators could have used to translate the word. So in this case to revolve, surround or border. So uh basically Hezekiah buried his face in the wall is what he did here. So why am I teaching especially on a very specific moment and I've been trying to teach in 30 minute increments. So we're going to try to keep this in 30 minutes but I want to focus on that moment because that moment had things that led up to it and things that came after it. And that moment was a very, it was such a huge change for Hezekiah. So, let's delve into the scripture. We're going to be across Isaiah, 2 Chronicles, and 2 Kings, and it's talking about the same event. And I'm going to show you each part so that you get a full complete clear picture. Let's talk about who Hezekiah is first. Let's start there. 2 Chronicles 29:es 1-5. Hezekiah began to reign when he was 5 and 20 years old. And he reigned 9 and 20 years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Abjah, the daughter of Zachchariah. And he did that which was right in the sight of the Lord according to all that David his father had done. He in the first year of his reign, in the first month, opened the doors of the house of the Lord and repaired them. And he brought in the priests and the Levites, and gathered them together into the east street, and said unto them, "Hear me, ye Levites. Sanctify yourself clean now yourselves, and sanctify to be clean. Clean the house of the Lord God of your fathers, and carry forth the filthiness out of the holy place." So Hezekiah is a king that did good in the sight of the Lord. He took some projects on where he brought the temple back into service for the Lord, back to uh practicing um killing uh the doing the sacrifices, the daily sacrifices. He brought all of that back into the house. He brought the the temple back into order. He repaired what needed to be repaired. He did what was good in his sight. You can continue to read that and find out what else he did. I just wanted to show you that he did something right in the presence of the Lord. He was a righteous man. So, my goal with this teaching is to show you what happens to a righteous person who ends up in a situation that happened and how you can change the course of it. I've taught a lot of this and I've showed you scripture throughout uh the New Testament and how, you know, Paul talks about uh we can change our hearts, change our lives, have faith. Jesus showed us that we can be healed by our faith. I want to show you an Old Testament way of how Hezekiah came to be with the Lord. And this had to do with he was right. He did right in the sight of the Lord. So now let's look at the situation of what happened because this is going to this is going to be the crux of the whole teaching. I want you to get this. So we're going to go to Isaiah 38 1 and 2. In those days was Hezekiah sick. That word sick there means to be rubbed, worn, weak, afflicted to grief. It doesn't say how he got sick. It just says that he was sick. Now, we'll see later that it was figs, a pus of figs that was placed on the boil. He had a a physical ailment, a boil on his body, and that pus went on there and he was healed uh through the figs. So, don't know what the sickness was, but he was sick unto death. Um and this word sick simply means it's to be worn out w weak afflicted grief. So he had to have been under a lot of stress. And if you look at our history, kings that are under a lot of stress don't live very long. Uh we see that in the UK with Queen Elizabeth's um uncle he and father who didn't live very long. So, and part of it was the stress of being a king. Okay, they, you know, they they this happened. So, he's sick and it's unto death. So, he's going to die. And Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amos, came unto him and said unto him, "Thus sayith the Lord, set thine house in order, for thou shalt die and not live." So, you just heard a word from the Lord. Hezekiah just heard a word from the Lord. And usually you hear the word from the Lord, anything that is founded in scripture, you hear a word from the Lord, you take it as, okay, this is what's going to happen. But something Hezekiah did here that I want to focus on which changes the whole outcome of everything. And this is what's so exciting about this. Thus Hezekiah turned his face toward the wall and prayed unto the Lord. He said, "Okay." And he's going to talk to the Lord and he's going to let's let's read what he says to the Lord because this is critical here. He says and said, this is Hezekiah talking to the Lord. Remember now, oh Lord, I beseech you. That that word beseech means oh now, oh Lord, I need you now. I beseech you now. And then he goes on to say, how have I how I have walked before thee in truth. That word truth there is stability, certainty, trustworthiness, and with a perfect or complete heart of feelings, the will, and have done that which is good in thy sight. He's telling God to remember these things. And then he says, and Hezekiah wept. That word wept there means to bewail, complain, make lamentations, mourn, and then soar. He did it greatly. He did it out loud. He did it overflowingly. He turned his face to the wall and he says to God, now you know God is our creator. He is our everything. And so if he says something, we're going to believe it. Hezekiah did something a little bit different. He went to the Lord directly. By the way, he didn't go through a prophet. He didn't go to the temple or an altar. He went well and he couldn't. So, he did what he could do best. He burrowed his face into the wall and says to the Lord and very bold, very confidently he says remember what I have done for you and I did it with the hearts and the thought through the heart of the thoughts and the feelings that are appropriate. Remember that. And then he he cries. So this is what I want to focus on in this moment. You see, we take the word of God literally. I believe it literally. There are probably some things in there that are written uh um in that language of metaphors and what have you. But I do take the word of God and everything it prophesies and everything it's talking about. I take it very serious and I take it very literally. And I go to the Lord and I try to understand the scriptures because I try to be a teacher of the word of God. You know, I'm not trying to justify anything because all of us have fallen short of the glory of God. Me included. So, there's things I don't know. But I love it when the Lord gives me a revelation about something. And there's a revelation here about what Hezekiah did that you and I can do as believers in Christ. Hezekiah said, "I want you to remember everything I did, and I did it with a complete heart. My thoughts and feelings, that's what the heart is. We're done with the purpose of I want to do this for you. I am going to do this for you." You see, there's something about the scriptures that tells us that when we're faced with adversity, affliction, sickness, when we face that, we do not have to accept death as a result of it. You know, we're all eventually going to die. Whether it's through the rapture or whether we just live out old age and natural causes, eventually we're all going to end up on the other side. Whether that's heaven the other side or hell the other side, that's between you and God. But as we walk with God and anyone who decides to choose Jesus as the son of God, as our Lord and Savior, the moment we accept that, take that, we have this right to live justifiably correct. We can live doing things we think is right in our minds. Whether it actually is or not is a whole different story. Keep this in mind. If you're going before the Lord, you've been and you think you're doing right. You chastised people to get them back into church. I disagree with that kind of chastisement. I kind of disagree with a little bit of the iron sharpens iron. I mean, it's okay. That's the things. I just there's feelings involved that hurt people that causes them to go away. But see, that has to deal with the Holy Spirit. But if you're in your mind and your heart and you know you have done right and like for me teaching the word of God, I can stand here boldly and confidently and say, "I have done right." Now analyze yourself. Say, "Have I been reading my Bible every day? Have I been praying? Have I been putting you first in my life?" Matthew 6:33, "Seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added unto you." So Hezekiah gets this bad word. By the way, it's not from the devil. It's not from the enemy. It's not a curse sent to him, a bow and arrow kind of thing. No, it's a word from the Lord. And he went to the Lord and says, "Remember what I've done." And he wept. when you're going before the Lord, you know, and I've said this before in past teachings, uh it's been quite a few teachings now, but I've always felt that after I became a believer or after I put God first in my life, I think I've been a believer since I was six because I called on his name when I was a six-year-old. But living my life for him has been different and it ages different and it it goes back differently. And when I did that, there was an emotional aspect. It was like everything inside of me broke and fell apart. It's like the rocks just came tumbling down inside of me. The hardness broke. So, I get very weepy and crying. You guys can testify to that because I tend to weep and cry. And this is why I always bring a trusty box of tissues with me to every teaching because I can feel the anointing of the Holy Spirit moving through me. That's what happened to Hezekiah. You see, you have to ask yourself when a word comes to you and now it doesn't matter who the word comes from, whether it's from God or whether it's from the devil. I love what one preacher said. He he uh was laying in bed one night, woke up in the middle of the night, heard voice, heard voices or someone talking and he leaned in. And by the way, this happened to me, although I didn't have the same reaction he did. But he leaned in, realized it was the devil cursing him out, and he says, "Oh, it's just you." And turned over and went to sleep. In my case, I said, "Get out of here." And then I turned over and went to sleep. But as a believer in Christ, this is the reaction that we have the right to. We have the right to go to God and say, "I've done the best I can. I've stood here and did this." It doesn't matter how anyone else judges us. when you have that right and that emotional factor with it because you know you've been broken. You know that God has put you back together the way he wants you put back together. And it it can be hard at times. But the moment you recognize that in the situation you're facing, it can change the entire outcome. And we're going to see that here. So it and it says here, "And it came to pass before Isaiah was gone out of the middle court." What that means is so Isaiah came in, he told Hezekiah the news and Isaiah turned around and started walking out of the temple or um the home of the king's house there. And Hezekiah is weeping to the Lord and he's crying which is that point where I think that every believer we should be able to come in. You know the other day I think it was um last Sunday morning. I forget what day it was but I had an issue that was going on. Uh yeah it would be Monday morning and I remember Sunday. It was it happened on Sunday and I I left it inside of me all Sunday and all Sunday evening and Monday morning. See, Monday mornings is my time where I pray for the body of Christ, the church, kingdom of God. I pray for my church that I'm going to. I pray for the leadership and all that. Monday mornings is my time for that. I held what I had going on inside of me. And I held that in and I waited till that moment because I know that's my I don't know it it was a moment of I'm going to meet God. And because of that it built up an anticipation. So when I got there Monday morning I just start balling my eyes out. Said Lord this situation I have to give it to you. And that weeping moment that Hezekiah had was his moment but he did it out of shock. Isaiah just told him the this news. So he does it out of shock. So while he's in this moment, so understand God heard him and decides to move immediately. So Isaiah hadn't even left the courtyard yet. And this is what he says. It came up pass came to pass before Isaiah was gone out into the middle court that the word of the Lord came to him saying turn again and tell Hezekiah the captain of my people. Thus sayeth the Lord the God of David thy father I have heard a word heard also could be attentively. You can get that out of the I've heard thy prayer your intercession supplication. You see that moment that you're weeping, God already heard everything. You're the human. You're still pouring it out of you. You're still getting it all out. And he's already moving things for you. Watch what he says to Hezekiah. Tells Isaiah to tell Hezekiah, "I have seen thy tears. Behold, I will heal thee. On the third day, thou shalt go up unto the house of the Lord. That's incredible. Here is a moment that Hezekiah is experiencing. And before Isaiah even gets out to the courtyard, he tells him, "Go back and tell him, I'm going to heal him." This is what he says he's going to do in 2 Kings 26 and 7. And he says, "And I will add into thy days 15 years, and I will deliver or snatch away thee and this city out of the hand of the king of Assyria, and I will defend or hedge about this city for my own sake and for my servant David's sake." All right, I got to pause here. There's a fact that we have to think about. Does God want to heal you or does he not want to heal you? How many times have we heard the saying, "If it be your will." Here, God is saying, "I'm going to do this for my own sake and for my servant David's sake." David is a righteous man who had a heart after God. And here's Hezekiah emulating that. That tells me that if you have that relationship with God like David did, God is going to answer your prayer like he did with David and like he did with Hezekiah for his own sake. Because see, he spoke these words over all of us. And he's given us blessings and benefits. Honor thy mother and father for long life. Go read Psalm 103. The benefits that we have. Psalm 91. There are so many promises that God has given us, but all of them are predicated on the relationship factor with the Lord. And I'm trying to show you here in scripture that when you have that res that relationship with God and God decides he's going to move for his own sake. He's going to move and he's going to make the situation right. And that's how God does this. He he he's focused on this. Says, "I will defend the city for my own sake and for my servant David say and here he says and Isaiah said take a lump of figs." And they took and laid it on the boil and he recovered. So uh now there's there's an interesting concept of knowing now you got 15 years left to live. You know how do you take that what what do you take that to be? Do you now be more brave, more bold? You think you can jump a few steps down extra without breaking anything? He didn't say he wouldn't break anything. He just said that you've got another 15 years. And then I have to wonder that when he got to that 15 year, how did Hezekiah behave? What did what happened at that point? So now there's more. There's a conversation that takes place here. Let's go to second Kings. I want you to see the other part of the 2 Kings 20:es 8-11. And Hezekiah said unto Isaiah, "What shall be the sign that the Lord will heal me and that I shall go up into the house of the Lord third day?" So remember I was telling you through Isaiah, 2 Kings and 2 Chronicles, this event uh takes place and each set of scriptures explains it a little bit more. So we saw in Isaiah now how God had healed him. Now there's conversation. So now Hezekiah is like, "Okay, what's the sign?" So we're coming back to that moment. He just finished crying. Here's Isaiah coming back telling him this is what's going to happen. And Isaiah asked him a question. Says, "And in verse 9, and and Isaiah said, "This sign shalt thou have of the Lord that the Lord will do the thing that he has spoken." And he goes, "Shall the shadow go forward 10 degrees or go back 10 degrees?" We're talking 10 minutes in time. Now, I want you to understand the 10 minutes here because this is this is that a little extra golden nugget we get out of this teaching. How long did it take Isaiah to walk in and tell Hezekiah his situation? Put your house in order. You're going to die. And how long did it take him to walk out of that chamber, get to that inner court before God told him turn around? So now Isaiah asks Hezekiah, you want the shadow on the degrees of uh the time to go forward or backwards. So Isaiah answers here in verse 10. And and Hezek, excuse me, Hezekiah answered, "And it is a light thing for the shadow to go down 10 degrees." Because see that happens every day. time is moving forward all the time. So that's normal. So then he says, "But let the shadow return backward 10 degrees." And Isaiah the prophet cried or to call he called out to God unto the Lord and he brought the shadow 10 degrees backwards by which it had gone down in the dial of Ahaz. Wait a second. Why? God's word spoke to Isaiah and to Hezekiah that he's going to die. God spoke the word. God keeps his promises. Hezekiah was supposed to die. God decides to undo his spoken word by repeating that 10 minutes of time. And by repeating that 10 minutes of time, a new spoken word came in where now he's going to bring Israel out of Assyria. He's going to uh save them from the attack. There's a a war going on in between all of this and Hezekiah because of what he did. God says, "I'm going to save the city and I'm going to save you." And he goes to do this. So, it's interesting. Let's read a little further because I want to get more into this. 2 Chronicles now in verse in chapter 32. We start here in verse 24 and this is now from and let me make sure that we understand how this works and how I'm putting all these scriptures together. So Isaiah is the prophet. Isaiah is the one who was used. So he wrote it in his book as to what God used him for. C uh second Kings is the books that were kept uh written by recorders of the kingdom at that time. Whoever was recording everything, they recorded everything the king did and what the king was. And that was written by a recorder. Chronicles is written by the Holy Spirit. This is God's perspective because there's things in Chronicles that the recorders had no idea to even record it. So you'll find elements in chronicles that is definitely not going to be in the kings. So we're going to elaborate a little further and let's look at it now all together. Now that especially now that we got a good chunk and idea of the story uh event. It's not a story. This is a true event that took place. So we're in 2 Chronicles 32. We're going to start here in verse 24. In those days Hezekiah was sick to the death and prayed unto the Lord and he spake unto him and he gave him a sign. But Hezekiah rendered not. So what you're now seeing, we know Hezekiah got healed. So now we're seeing the outcome because God saved the the saved Israel, saved Hezekiah, and now we're seeing what God says about all of that. It's very interesting. But Hezekiah rendered not again according to the benefit done unto him. For his heart was lifted up. Therefore, there was wrath upon him and upon Judah and Jerusalem. Did Hezekiah go back and say, "Thank you, Lord." That's what I get out of that. And so, God is now going to judge him. But watch, look what he says next. Notwithstanding, Hezekiah humbled himself. So, initially, Hezekiah didn't. But somewhere along the road of life here, the Holy Spirit talking to Hezekiah, maybe through Isaiah, I don't know. But he says, "Notwithstanding, Hezekiah humbled himself for the pride of his heart, both he and the inhabitants of Jerusalem." So he also had Jerusalem do it, not just himself, so that the wrath of the Lord came not upon them in the days of Hezekiah. Now what you'll find out is what he did is he ended up showing some strangers Babylon all that he had in his kingdom and Isaiah told him okay you're the whole thing is going to come away from you it's going to be taken away from you in your son's life and Hezekiah I it's here we'll see this uh we'll get into that scripture so um notwithstanding Hezekiah humbled himself for the pride of his heart both he and the inhabitants of Jerusale So that the wrath of the Lord came not upon them in the days of Hezekiah. And Hezekiah had exceeding much riches and honor. And he made himself treasuries for silver and for gold and for precious stones and for spices and for shields and for all manner of pleasant jewels. You know what? When you put God first in your life and you have a relationship, you are going to be blessed. You will have you will not want for anything. That's that's what you're seeing here with Hezekiah. And Hezekiah purposely humbled himself because he didn't want the wrath of God on him. Let's continue on. The storehouse is also for the increase of corn and wine and oil and all and stalls for all manner of beast and coats for flocks. Moreover, he provided him cities and possessions of flocks and herds in abundance. For God had given him substance very much. Why? Because he did what was right in the sight of God. He did and emulated like David. You and I have the opportunity to be rich beyond and not want or lack for anything because we put God first. We have a relationship and we can take all of our actions and do the actions for God. You know what Hezekiah did even above and beyond that. He didn't do it just for himself. Although there was self-preservation going on here. You kind of get that hint as you read these scriptures. I recommend you go and read them. But as he got uh he did all this rightfully, he had the claim when he turned his face to the wall to say, "I've done what you wanted me to do. I did what was right." And because he was doing what was right, he was blessed beyond measure. God never says that we have to be poor or that we have to be stupid or that we have to um live one way or another. But he will bless you because that's a promise because you put him first. You have a relationship with him first. That is your right to have that if you choose you want that. Let's continue on and read more about this verse 30. Then uh this same Hezekiah also stopped the other upper water course of Guehon and brought it straight down to the west side of the city of David. And Hezekiah prospered in all his works because he put God first. He had a He did right. He took rightable actions on behalf of the Lord. He says, "This is my God. I'm gonna fix that temple. This is his house. I'm gonna fix it." He did what David wanted done and he followed him. By the way, David is his great great great great great great there. He's several generations later. Now verse 31. How be it in the business of the ambassadors of the princes of Babylon. This is what I was referring to earlier where he showed the strangers princes of Babylon. Watch this. Who sent in him to inquire of the wonder that was done in the land. Because see, he was prospering so much and doing so well that these princes from Babylon show up, which you're going to find out that Israel, as you read about Israel, you probably already know it. Babylon took Israel captive, but not in Hezekiah's days. Even the the prophesied capture of Israel being scattered to the four winds didn't happen in Hezekiah's time because of having that relationship and he is the leader and he got Jerusalem all lined up with him and did what was right in the sight of the Lord and that gave him the ability that when the attack came not and it came and God healed him because of the humbleness and the crying out and reminding the Lord what he had done. But he also healed him because when all this was supposed to happen, he kept God kept the attack of Israel going into captivity from Hezekiah and Israel because they turned around. In other words, if Israel had stayed going right with God, they would not have ever gone scattered. And the prophecies, well, in this case, God prophesied because he knew it was going to happen and it did happen. But they could have turned around and there could have been I I believe in my heart that Ezekiel, Isaiah, Jeremiah would have written different things had there been the ability for them to turn around and come back from that edge. They just didn't do it. Look what it says here. Uh finishing at Babylon who sent him to inquire of the wonder that was done in the land. God left him. I mean, God left Hezekiah to try or test him that he might know all that was in his heart. Now, there's a price to pay when you have this type of relationship with the Lord. That price is God is going to test your heart. And that's exactly what happened here with Hezekiah. And so, when Isaiah came I, you know, I didn't bring all that scripture in here, but Isaiah comes later and says, "What did you show him?" And Hezekiah says, "I showed him everything." Oh, well, all that's going to go away now. And that's because he was testing his heart. And I don't know what he was expecting from there, but God was looking at his heart. Now, the rest of the acts of Hezekiah and his goodness, behold, they're written in the vision of Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amos, and in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel. And that is what happened to Hezekiah. And he had the right to turn his face to the wall and burrow himself in the chest of God in that moment and say, "Remember what I did." And God says, "Okay, I remember you. I'm going to heal you and I'm going to heal the city." And that's what God did because he stood up for God as a righteous man and did what was right in the sight of the Lord. Question I have for you is, do you want to do what's right for the Lord in your life, whatever that may be? Let's close in a word prayer. Father God, we thank you for your word and we bless your word. Thank you. We pray that your word never leaves our hearts and never leaves our minds, but that it uh impacts us so much that it reverberates our bones and that we remember and the Holy Spirit reminds us all the time so that every decision we make in life is so that we do it right unto you, Lord. Thank you for showing us how you move, how you move through Hezekiah and how you can move through us. In the name of Jesus, we pray. Thank you, Lord. Amen. God bless you. I will see you in the next message. Bye-bye. Previous Next Home

ALTERING THE OUTCOME The purpose of this teaching is to reveal the authority believers in Christ have through the spoken Word of God to alter the outcome of their circumstances. By understanding the power of faith-filled confession and the indwelling Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead, Christians can overcome fear, sickness, and adversity, walking in victory and freedom as children of God. ALTERING THE OUTCOME Minister Lisa Kane December 8, 2024 Objective: The purpose of this teaching is to reveal the authority believers in Christ have through the spoken Word of God to alter the outcome of their circumstances. By understanding the power of faith-filled confession and the indwelling Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead, Christians can overcome fear, sickness, and adversity, walking in victory and freedom as children of God. Synopsis: In “Altering the Outcome,” Lisa Kane teaches on the transformative power of God’s Word and the believer’s authority to change the course of life’s challenges. Drawing from John 1, Genesis 1, Romans 8, and key passages on Jesus’ miracles and resurrection, the message shows how the spoken Word of God carries creative and life-giving power. Lisa shares a personal testimony of standing in faith for her mother’s healing from cancer, demonstrating how prayer and declaring the name of Jesus bring peace and hope in the midst of trial. She explains that believers are not bound by the law of sin and death but live under the law of the Spirit of life, empowered by the same Spirit that raised Christ from the dead. Through examples such as Jesus walking on water, raising Lazarus, and altering natural laws, listeners are encouraged to recognize that faith and spoken declarations in Jesus’ name can shift circumstances—whether in health, finances, or any area of life. The teaching emphasizes that salvation is not only forgiveness of sins but also deliverance, healing, and preservation, all accessed through confession of Jesus as Lord. Ultimately, the message calls believers to live by the Spirit, speak God’s promises over their lives, and trust Him to alter outcomes according to His power and will.

But I pray that we understand what you're teaching us through your word. That we have authority and the power to alter the outcome of any of our situations. That is to the blessings that you have given us because we know how to come to you and cry out to you. Thank you Lord for making it uh a thing that we remember that we do in every circumstance that we face. In the name of Jesus we pray. Amen. Amen. Amen. I'm so glad you can join us today. Thank you. I am calling this teaching altering the outcome. H this is going to be a very good teaching. So stick with me. We're going to start here in John 1:14. And the word was made flesh and dwelt or occupied among us. And we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the father, full of grace and truth. And the word became flesh. Let's talk about the word, the spoken word, the authority that we have to alter the circumstances of what we're in. You know, right now, I'm literally experiencing this. As you know, my mom has been dealing with cancer. She's still in the hospital and I was pretty down earlier today. But praying with others and praying in the spirit, setting time aside just to talk with the Lord. Wow. you know, the peace that surpasses understanding is fulfilling my heart right now, and I'm grateful for that. So, I would like for you to understand that concept and then to trust in the Lord and watch him change things. I'm believing that my mom is going to be sharing a powerful testimony here about cancer and overcoming it. We're going to see if that is true. And I'm trusting in the Lord that that will happen because it is not her time to go home. Not her time to go home with the Lord. She if that was the case, she would have died the last time because she had so many blood clots and sizable ones that it should have hit a brain or her heart. She should have died. She did not. So here we are. We are the house of faith ministry. So I'm hoping to teach a message on faith that uh you realize that you have the authority to change the outcome. Now you do need to be a believer in Christ first. So make sure that you confess Jesus as your Lord and Savior. If you have not done so, do that first. Uh we can do it very quickly here. You can pause the video, but basically you pray this and you repeat after me. Dear Jesus, I ask you to forgive me of my sins. Come into my heart and be my Lord and Savior. Help me to understand your word and the authority that you have given us in the name of Jesus. Amen. is that if that's the first time you've say made that statement, make certain that you get a Bible. You can use the one on the internet, www.biblegateway.com . Excellent resource. You can go buy one on Amazon or go to any bookstore. You can find Bibles there. Um, and then start reading the Gospel of John and then find a home church somewhere that is preferably non-denominational and get in there, start connecting with other believers. Amen. Okay. Okay. So, we're going to be talking about altering the outcome of whatever situation you're facing. This could be health, this could be finances, this could be any situation you're facing. I've taught a lot on this throughout the years, but it's very interesting when you put these particular scriptures together, what it does to the mind and the spoken word, what happens here. And this is why you have a lot of teachers who teach on claim it kind of things. We're not claiming it, but we're declaring the name of Jesus over it or Jesus is Lord over it. And you're going to see the scriptures tell us to do that. So don't think that you're, you know, oh, this is one of those claim it type of teachings. No, I want you to see how the scriptures are applied in this situation. Amen. So, uh, we're going to start here in John chapter 1:es 1 and two. In the beginning was the word. That word, by the way, means something said because we're talking about the spoken word. Says, "In the beginning was the word and the word that something said was with God and the word was God. The same was in the beginning with God." Well, how interesting that the gospel of John starts that way because he's saying, "Go back to the beginning and see the spoken word." That's what that says. Let's go to the beginning and see the spoken word. So let's go to Genesis 1 1-4. In the beginning, God created the heaven and the earth. And the earth was without form and void, and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. And God said here he spoke it, "Let there be light or illumination, and there was light." And God saw the light that it was good. And God divided the light from the darkness. So John is telling us go back to the spoken word because that spoken word was there in the beginning and remember my opening scripture was and that word became flesh. So the spoken power word of God became flesh which we know as Jesus the the Christ the Messiah. He came as the son of God. He was with God. He was God. He was there in the beginning. He's the spoken word. He spoke the word and he came into his own universe if you will. Okay. So in let's continue on in John chapter 1 now verses 3 and 4. All things were made or caused to be by him and without him was not anything made that was made. In him was life and the life was the light luminescence of men. Oh. So we are here for a particular reason. Jesus created this universe and he has given us the authority to use his name because when he died, he rose from the grave. He redeemed us and he gave us the authority to speak in his name and to become adopted into his kingdom where we call father God our father, aba father. This is who we believe and trust in. So Jesus is the son of God. God is the father and God the father is the one who is allowing all this to happen. Jesus created the universe and he made it so we can come in. Now watch what Paul says here in Romans 8 11-15. But if the spirit of him that raised Jesus from the dead dwell in you pause. Jesus rose from the dead. And when he came out of that grave, he came out of that grave. We're going to see scripture here in just a moment of what happened when he came out of that grave because he's life. He is a light. It can't keep him down. You see, he created this universe that we're in and he altered the rules of this universe. And he did it multiple times, but I'm going to talk about the power of the cross and what he did on the cross. And then we're going to talk about the power of the little things he did while he walked here on the earth until it was his time to go. So Paul is saying, listen, you know, he he died and this power, the spirit of him that raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you. He that raised Christ from the dead, woke Christ from the dead, shall also quicken your mortal bodies. The mortal is liable to die bodies by his spirit that inhabits in you, dwells in you. Hold on a moment. Wait a minute. This mortal body can have life because what Christ did, the same power that's in Christ is in me and can do Whoa, hold on. Let's read that scripture one more time because I think it's worth it. Amen. But if the spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his spirit that dwelleth in you. Look at this verse 12. Therefore, brethren, we are not we are debtors, not to the flesh to live after the flesh. Let's continue on. Says, for if you live after the flesh, you you shall die. But if ye through the spirit do mortify or kill the deeds of the body, ye shall live. For as many as are led by the spirit of God, they are sons of God. For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear. But ye have received the spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, "Aba, Father." Understand there's a lot in the scripture, by the way. A lot. Understand this. This is very, very important. We have the same spirit in us that's in Jesus. Well, one, he breathed into our nostrils to bring us life, did he not? He made us in his image. Man was made in his image and then he made female from the ri which then she protects the man. The whole another teaching. I've done that. You can go check it out. Here's the thing is if we have that same spirit in us, this mortal body, if we kill it, and we're not talking physical killing, we are talking spiritual killing. When you do that, you live. What happens is the moment you confess Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, guess what? You kill this body because you're telling this body, you're dead because I believe in Jesus who has already been raised from the dead. He is raised from the dead. And that's the same spirit that's in us. Now, I want you to understand something here. Jesus altered the rules as he went along. I hope you get this. This is so neat. This revelation, you see, he altered the rules. If you died a sinner, you were supposed to stay dead. That's just the way it is. And hell was made for sinners. It's made for places like the devil. But you see, God sent his only begotten son and says, "I need you to go save the people." And Jesus says, "I will go do it." So when he died because he had to and his blood went on the mercy seat and he so powerful he made this universe. He popped right out of that grave as a man with a new body because in the beginning was the word. He was spirit but that spirit came into the universe. He created. So when he said, "Let there be light," there was light. Imagine when you were a child and you made forts and you had all the sheets and blankets all around like all over the living room and your mom comes and go or you do it all over your bedroom. You have your friends over, you guys are just crawling around. I mean, and it's just so much fun to spend time playing in forts. Uh I can see the joy of Jesus wanting to enter the creation he created because it is so much fun. You get into that fort and you get to live whatever way you want. So if you have you put the sheet over here and you blocked off this path, guess what? You're in control of your universe. You pick up the sheet and move it and change it around. Now you have a path to crawl through. Jesus did that. Wait, how did he do that? Well, he did it raising from the dead because he came out alive. And well, we're going to see more scripture on that. But I want to show you another incident of when he did it. This is so neat. Matthew 14:24-33 But the ship was now in the midst of the sea, tossed or tortured with waves, for the wind was contrary. And in the fourth watch of the night, Jesus went unto them walking on the sea. And when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, It is a spirit. And they cried out for fear. But straightway Jesus spake unto them, saying, "Be of good cheer, or have courage. It is I. Be not afraid." And Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it be thou, bid me come unto thee on the water. And he said, "Come." And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water to go to Jesus. But when he saw or he became, he perceived the wind boisterous around him. You know, he was afraid and beginning to sink, he cried out. He cried saying, "Lord, save me." That word save there means deliver, protect, heal, preserve. And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand and caught or seized him and said unto him, "Oh, thou little faith incredulous or lacking confidence, wherefore dust thou doubt?" You know, why did you doubt? Why did you waver is what he's saying? And when they were come unto the ship, the wind ceased. Then they that were in the ship came and worshiped or prostrate oneself adored him, saying, "Of a truth, thou art the son of God." And they became believers very, very quickly. But Jesus altered the rules. You see, he just finished preaching to a multitude. He sent the multitude away. He sent his disciples to go to the other side. And he decided to go up to the mountain to pray. I love that. He didn't care where he needed to go, what direction. He didn't care if he had somebody there or food. He stopped knowing that there's a storm and his men are in that boat that he told them to get into. And there he is on the top of the mountain praying. Now, let's get a visual of this for a moment because this is an image of what Jesus does today. He's in the high place sitting sitting at the right hand of God on the throne there and he's praying for us. He's interceding on our behalf always. That's what Jesus is doing. Well, Jesus was doing that and then he came down off that mountain and decided to go join his disciples by walking on the water to the ship. I'm pretty confident not one person in this world can walk on water. And so, the only person who could walk on water that day was who? Jesus. And then Peter said, "Well, if you're Jesus, call me to you." And Jesus said, "Come." Peter gets out of the boat and starts walking over like, "Hey, you are Jesus." And then all of a sudden he becomes aware that he's on water and he starts to sink and he says, "Jesus, save me." Spoken out loud word and immediately Jesus grabbed a hold of him and brought him up. So this is a type of what we can see Jesus and how he handles us today. We can see that Jesus altered his universe to do something he needed to do, which was to show us what it would be like when he's in heaven and we're still on earth. This was for us. I mean, I'm sure Peter was thrilled to be like the only other man that could ever walk on water. And then, you know, I'm sure he kind of didn't want to share the part where he almost sank. He's just sharing the part, woohoo, I walked with Jesus on the water. So, here you have a just one sample of the illustration of all the things that Jesus has altered on this universe. And by the way, that altering occurred afterwards. Philillip, great guy. Go look at him. Go read about him in Acts. you will find that he's suddenly there to minister to a unic who's reading Isaiah and he's curious who is this Isaiah talking about. So, Philip ministers to him, witnesses to him, ends up accepting Jesus as his Lord. He baptizes him. When he comes out of the water, Philip's gone. He's gone on to another town instantly. It's uh he's not there. And again, you're seeing the alteration of the universe. You see, sin came into the world. So, we're supposed to die, but Jesus said, "Nope, I'm going to change the rules." And he changed the rules, which means we don't have to live as fear or in fear that we're going to die any minute after now or any time because we have the authority in the name of Jesus. Every time we say Jesus save me or Jesus you are Lord and you speak that out. Jesus is in the midst of your situation and he's seizing you out of it, taking care of you or altering the things going on around you. So let's take a look at the death of him on the cross and what he did because again he altered the rules. He changed the rules. When you die you're supposed to stay dead. Remember he raised Lazarus from the dead. So he demonstrates when he is risen from the dead. And look what it says in Matthew 27:50-53. Jesus when he cried again with a loud voice. He's up on the cross yielded up or sent forth his ghost or the ghost and behold the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom and the earth did quake and the rocks rent and the graves were opened and many bodies of the saints which slept dead arose. That word slept means dead arose and it came out of the and came out of the graves after his resurrection and went into the holy se city and appeared unto many. I I laugh at that because imagine having Aunt Martha's funeral. you just had Aunt Martha's funeral and you know a few days later you're sitting there having um you know lunch or snack or you're working with your animals whatever here comes that Martha walking up to your home and just like the men were on the ship they saw Jesus and they were troubled or they were is that a ghost and you see Aunt Martha and you you're stunned Because see, that's not normal. That's not what this world or how this world operates. However, Jesus changed the rules. And by the way, the same spirit that's in Jesus that can change rules means that same spirit that is in us can change those rules, too. Now, let's go to Romans 8:1 and2. There is therefore now no condemnation, no verdict against us to them which are in Christ Jesus who walk not after the flesh but after the spirit. You see what happens the moment you confess Jesus as your Lord and Savior. You are spirit. You are no longer in this flesh. This flesh is dead. You crucified it and it's been crucified on the cross with Jesus. It's a goner. The flesh is dead. And because Ro uh Hebrews 9:27 or 9:23 says, you can go look it up which one it is. I think it's 9:27 says uh every man's appointed to die once. Well, guess what? If the rapture is going to happen in this generation, does that mean Paul's a liar with what he wrote in his Bible? Because we don't die, we go in the rapture. On the contrary, he speaks the truth. Because every believer out there has already died to this flesh, to the rules of this world, to the laws of this land. We're not obligated to that. I want you to catch this in your mind. I need you to understand that you have the right and the authority to alter the universe around you. You don't have to be sick. Seriously, you don't have to be in a financial s situation. Seriously, this is for reals. The Bible tells us that the same spirit that's in Jesus is going to raise us up out of that grave. So, I love it with Paul when he quoted, I think it's Joel, he quoted, he says, and I could be wrong about that. You go look it up. Oh, death, oh death, where is your sting? Yeah, where is your sting? I'm alive for eternity already here in this flesh. This is just my beginning footsteps because as a believer in Christ, I have the beginning of the power and the authority of the name of Jesus. I can alter my universe, which means I get to speak a spoken word over whatever the situation circumstance is. So, and we live by the spirit. We're choosing by the spirit. Verse two, for the law of the spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death. So you can see these two laws. Law of sin and death is what the law of this world came to be when Adam and Eve fell. So you had to die. Every generation dies. Everyone's dying. And eventually you do whether you do it at the age of two days old or at the age of 150 years old, everybody dies. But when you become a believer in Christ, Jesus says, "I altered the rules." Guess what? You're now living by the law of the spirit and you're already dead because you no longer have this flesh holding you back because you're walking in your spirit. Your spirit is manifesting. You see, when he says you have the keys to the kingdom of heaven, and he says, "Whatever you bound on earth is bound in heaven. Whatever you loose on earth is loose in heaven." He's showing us that heaven and earth, spirit and physical are related to each other. And what manifests in the spirit is going to manifest in the flesh. So if you're a bitter, hateful person who isn't walking with Christ because you're walking in the flesh because you're in anger, you're you're going to manifest the sicknesses and diseases related to hate and bitterness and anger. That's the concept of this. But if you being um in the spirit of Christ are calling out blessings and forgiveness and saying, "I'm going to forgive that. I choose to forgive that. I'm going to forgive myself because I'm already dead because the Lord has saved me. And because he saved me, none of that ever matters. Whether I was right or wrong, it doesn't matter. I'm forgiven. And because I'm forgiven, I get to alter the universe my body lives in. I get to walk in liberty, in freedom from sicknesses and diseases. I have that right because I'm in the spirit. That's what I hope you guys are catching here. Now, let's go to look at verse uh 11, going back to our opening scripture. But if the spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his spirit that dwells in you. You see, we have this ability to have the manifestation of the spoken word in us. We have a powerful tongue. And if we're confessing Jesus as our Lord, let's go read Romans 10:9. Says that if thou confess, acknowledge with my mouth, the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe or have faith in thine heart that God has raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved, delivered, protected, healed, preserved. So the moment you say, Jesus, save me, like Peter did in the water, Jesus is obligated to save you. He wants to save you. He loves you that much. He's going to save you. So, he's going to get you out of your circumstance and situation. And by the way, there are many, many, many testimonies that tell you how many people spoke the name of Jesus and their situation changed. And I just I love hearing some of these testimonies. There's a a former homosexual man who, you know, he he thought it was funny. He I love his testimony. When he was uh gay, he he kept saying, "It's not a sin. It's not a sin." And he went and looked it up in the Bible to find out. And when he found out what the Bible actually said, he confess Jesus as his Lord and Savior. He's a man now that ministers to the homosexual homosexual uh comm uh community. He's ministering to them. Why? because he's telling them, listen, I believe the way you believe that it's not a sin, but guess what? It is, and I didn't want to go to hell, and I know you don't want to go to hell. So, he's ministering to them. He altered the universe around him. He called on the name of Jesus, got saved, his life changed because it's a mental thing. You're dealing mentally with this kind of stuff. He altered the way he thought. He went from the flesh to the spirit and he's letting people know there is a God. He's real and he's coming back. Now, does that mean he's this perfect creation? No. But I know that after he got saved, he lost his job. Woke is all in its finest hour there. And he had to lose his apartment. But he called on Jesus. And all of a sudden, he got a podcast going. He got an apartment. People were donating to him. You see how the Lord moves just in that testimony. His name is Richard. You can go find him on Tik Tok and I'm sure you can find him. But I remember because I I've been praying for that community, the LGBTQ plus community. I pray for wokeism, Black Lives Matters. I pray for these. that I know that my prayers are altering the universe because it's allowing the spirit to move forward because see prayer works because what did he say? I confess with my mouth the Lord Jesus and believe that God raised him from the dead. How do you believe that God raised someone from the dead? Well, you start talking about Jesus and you can't see him. That's faith. Look at this. Says uh with thy mouth the Lord Jesus and shalt believe or have faith. And what is faith? Things hoped for that we can't see yet. That's how God operates. He operates with faith. So for me, I'm altering the universe. I pray over my mom and I declare the name of Jesus. This is why I believe there's a testimony coming out of here. Lord's not done with her. And you know, I'm not praying, by the way, asking that she live forever. I I want y'all to understand. I don't want her to die this way because cancer is from the devil. That is a sickness and a disease. That's an attack on the physical body. And it it's our faith that has to rise up so we can be healed. And remember, Jesus not only healed by healing people, by laying hands on them or or anything like that. He would say many times, "Your faith has made you whole." meaning we have the authority to be made whole through our faith. So we I'm trying to teach this is why we're called the house of faith ministries trying to show you that when you speak the Lord Jesus that's what he says the Lord Jesus and believe that God raised him from the dead what does it say there it says you will be saved that word saved has multiple um uh definitions delivered protect healed preserved that is our blessing by saying Jesus is Lord Lord. Jesus, you are Lord over my mind. Jesus, you are Lord over my body. Jesus, you are Lord over every ache and pain. Jesus, you are Lord over sickness and diseases because he rose from the dead and he came out. That same power of life and authority is in you. All you have to do to alter your universe is to say, "Jesus, you're Lord. I have to trust in you. I have to give this to you. I'm not going to worry about it. I'm not going to stand another minute in this. This is yours. I'm going to let you deal with it because it is not by might nor by power, but is by your spirit." Amen. Let's close in a word of prayer. Father God, we thank you for your word. I pray that this word is uplifting and encouraging to those who hear it, that they apply it, that they start calling the name of Jesus over all of their circumstances, and that they live by faith, knowing that they can alter their universe just like you altered the universe as you walked on this earth. Lord, we love you and honor you and praise you and bless you for you truly are mighty and faithful in the name of Jesus. Amen. Amen. God bless you and I will see you in the next message. Byebye.

UNDERSTANDING THE BOOK OF REVELATION PART 8 Equip listeners with a clear, faith-building understanding of the second half of the Tribulation in Revelation—how global government, Israel, and the Church converge under Christ’s ultimate judgment—so believers are reassured of their hope in Jesus while discerning the mark of the beast, the role of the two witnesses, the end-time timeline, and the call to steadfast obedience. UNDERSTANDING THE BOOK OF REVELATION PART 8 Pastor Marcos Marrero June 21, 2009 Objective: Equip listeners with a clear, faith-building understanding of the second half of the Tribulation in Revelation—how global government, Israel, and the Church converge under Christ’s ultimate judgment—so believers are reassured of their hope in Jesus while discerning the mark of the beast, the role of the two witnesses, the end-time timeline, and the call to steadfast obedience. Synopsis: Opening & posture: A prayer of consecration and readiness to receive God’s Word, seeking protection from hindrances and an outpouring of blessing, peace, joy, power, healing, deliverance, and restoration. End-time framework (three converging “dispensations”): Nations/New World Order moving toward one world government and economy; Israel restored as a nation (yet “without the Spirit” in Ezekiel’s dry bones sense); The Church restored to apostolic foundations; a faithful Philadelphia remnant contrasted with a Laodicean church left behind. Seals & historical momentum: The spirit of antichrist, wars, and a demonic door of deception associated with 20th-century upheavals set the stage for present global consolidation and control. Rapture & mid-point shift (Rev 11): The faithful Church is caught up; the two witnesses minister for 1,260 days, are killed, then raised and called up. Their departure signals the “abomination that causes desolation”—the removal of anointed restraint on earth and a transfer of God’s dealing back to Israel. Economic control & the mark (Rev 13:15–18): The beast enforces worship through total commerce control—no buying or selling without the mark, name, or number (666). This marks the period when Satan rules globally through a man, unopposed by remaining spiritual restraint. Number symbolism & tabernacle typology: 153 as “sons of Elohim/children of light” (linked to John 21:11) → a picture of the completed people of God: Church (7 lampstands), Israel (12×12=144 showbread), plus the two witnesses = 153. Tabernacle layout illustrates the rapture, cleansing, reward, and entry into God’s presence; the two witnesses as olive trees alongside the lampstand. Second-half timeline (Daniel & Revelation): Post-midpoint period described with 1,290 days to judgment; overall antichrist ascendancy framed with 666 (interpreted here as a span of conquest) and a terminal 1,332 days culminating in Christ’s intervention. A seven-Sabbath (6×7=42 days) cadence of final bowl judgments completes God’s wrath. Three angelic proclamations (Rev 14): Everlasting gospel preached worldwide; Babylon (false religion) falls, demonic deception caged; Warning: worshiping the beast/receiving the mark brings irrevocable judgment. Martyr harvest & vindication (Rev 14–15): Those who refuse the mark are martyred, then gathered by the Son of Man and seen on the sea of glass singing the Song of Moses and the Song of the Lamb—law and grace united—awaiting temple access until the seven bowls finish. Final bowls (Rev 16) in weekly cadence: Targeted judgments (beginning with grievous sores on the marked) unfold over 42 days, demonstrating the incurable nature of allegiance to the beast. Second Coming & defeat of evil (Rev 19): Jesus descends on a white horse; the beast and false prophet are seized alive and cast into the lake of fire; the gathered armies are destroyed by the word of His mouth. Millennial horizon: Resurrected saints reign with Christ, serving as His administrators among long-lived, earth-bound survivors in a restored creation order. Appeal & assurance: Believers rest in Christ’s finished work—kept from the hour of testing—while those not yet in Christ are urged to call on His name today for salvation and peace. Inspired Teaching - Written and/or Transcribed from Video Above: Very good. Thanks be to Jesus. Let me know if it's too loud. Hallelujah. Gloria. If you got the book, we're going to start on page 62. 62. 62. [Music] I got me new pair of glasses, so they work good. Father in heaven in Jesus name, we thank you for this opportunity to come and uh to partake of your word. Father God, we bind each and every spirit that would come to uh block or to hinder the flow of your anointing here tonight. Father God, in the name of Jesus, we come in agreement that we are servants and as servants, we need to be fed by the master. And we come to the master's table, our Lord Jesus Christ and his word, the bread that came down from heaven to partake of it. And there's a promise that as we partake from the bread that is presented uh in the book and through the book of Revelation, that it will be a blessing for us. And so we open oursel up to receive the blessing tonight, Father God. The blessing of peace, the blessing of joy, the blessing of power in the Holy Ghost, the blessing that brings healing, deliverance, and restoration to our spirit, to our souls, and to our bodies. Father, in Jesus name we thank you, Lord. Amen. Amen. Praise God. Thank God for his mighty mighty blessings. Hallelujah. Anyway, we are coming to the second half of the seven-year uh uh wrath of God. And so, I just want to give a brief description of of where we're going tonight. Uh I said that um God is bringing three entities or three dispensations uh together at the end time and he's bringing them together to deal with them or to judge them. Remember Jesus Christ the first time he came he came as a savior. The second time he comes as a judge. God has given to him the authority to deal with everything on earth. He is the last Adam. The dominion that God had originally given to Adam that Adam forfeited has been bestowed upon Jesus. Jesus says, "I have authority in heaven on earth and on the earth beneath and on the waters below." He's king of kings is lower lord. So he uh the reason why we know we're living in the last uh days is because this generation is the only generation that have seen these three dispensations come to place at the same time. We have the nations of the world now becoming into what is called the new world order. This new world order means that the earth for the first time since when Nimrod led a rebellion against God will come into one world government. We're living through that right now. You cannot have one world government without one world economy. Remember the biggest problem of getting uh uh Europe together was getting one currency. They finally got a constitution. They finally got one currency. England is the only one that's still holding to the pound and but that will be gone. The euro is becoming the center of that. So you cannot have one world government without one world economy. Then the uh nation of Israel which is a dispensation uh had to be brought back into place because God had to judge the nation of Israel not the Jews. The nation of Israel had to be judged. So that means that God had to bring Israel. Now, Israel is the only nation in the history of the whole world that ceased to exist for a large amount of time. In their case, almost 2,000 years. Actually, they were kicked out of the land in 65 AD by Titus, a Roman general, who destroyed the temple where Jesus was baptized in and uh in Jerusalem. They have been as a nation nonexistent for almost 2,000 years. Then out of the blue, according to the prophets, Israel was born as a nation in 1948. And as you know, there's been six wars to try to eliminate him and they still can. Okay. So, we have the nations of the world becoming one. We have the nation of Israel being established. But according to Ezekiel, without the spirit, if you read Ezekiel, Ezekiel looks at the valley of dry bones and God asked Ezekiel, "Can these bones live?" Ezekiel said, "I don't know." And then he said, "Well, prophesy." And then he says that as he prophesied, the bones came together, a whole army came out, but they didn't have a spirit. And that's what Israel has done. They have combination, but they still don't have the anointing. Why? Because the anointing has been given to the church. Now the church is another one dispensation that God is dealing with and the church dispensation had to be judged according to the apostolic foundations on which the church was founded. Ephesian Paul tells us that the church was founded upon the apostles being Jesus Christ the chief apostle of the chief cornerstone. Now we know that the church lost all of that through the middle ages and this year or this this this this last century. So the revival of the church and believe me very very few people that believe what do you call it the uh the uh the apostolic ship of the church. Very few of us believe on that. So the church but the apostolic has been restored. many prophecies. Uh um the guy that precided over the 1906 uh uh outpouring of the Holy Spirit, Seymour, he prophesied that it would be an outpouring again in 2006. He prophesied that there would be an upping but that this time would be worldwide. So the reason why we know we're living in the last generation because this is the only generation that has witnessed the restoration of of Israel as a nation according to the scripture, the restoration of the one world government and the restoration of the church to its apostolic roots. Why? Because when the church is judged, there's going to be a church that's left behind. The one that doesn't need Christ, that doesn't need the blood, that doesn't need those things. And there's a one that's true that's kept his name and that kept his his he his his word. You kept my word and you did not deny my name. That is the the church that is going to be raptured. Okay. So those three entities are in place. Now today we hear about this economic crisis that that is befalling everything. When we deal with the seals, I told you that the seals is the spirit or the force that drives the church age. And I told you that the first seal the antichrist was the antichrist going to conquer and conquering and to conquer that represents the spirit of antichrist that denies that Jesus Christ is the son of god. The second seal was wars and rumors of war but then out of those wars would come in one that would have a large sword and this is Hitler. Hitler opened a big spiritual door. I was watching something yesterday. It just blew me away how Hitler was. This guy was on a seance in 1913 or 14 and and uh a demon came in and told this guy, "You're going to meet the Messiah and you're going to groom the Messiah for his place." Three years later, this guy saw Hitler and the spirit said, "That's the one." And he began to groom Hitler. He lay hands on Hitler. 1923, the guy died of cancer. Another psychic came in and began to to move through Hitler telling happened to be a Jew, a Bulgarian Jew that when Hitler found out he was Jew, he killed him. All of this demonic roots of that guy is what opened everything we have today. All of the knowledge that is in the world today came through Hitler. Believe it or not, this was a door, a demonic door that was open. All this surgery, all of this uh uh uh uh heart transplant li all of that knowledge came through the human experiment that Hitler did, all kinds of doctor, all of the space rays, all of these rockets, all of the jet engine, all of these things. And and then on this towards the end it says now that when Hitler died that many believe that he went underground that he got into a submarine because Hitler the whole time that he was there he was searching for the hole that would lead to the center of the earth because they believe that the earth is hollow and that there was a superior race of beings locked up underneath the earth and he was looking for an access to that. And I've been telling you that the antichrist is a beast that rises out of the abyss and this happened when when we get to the trumpet judgment. So I mean it's just so much going on that it is just incredible how we are living in the end times. We are definitely living on the end times to where we're seeing right now an a world economy and whoever controls the economy controls the world. And that's what the antichrist does. He controls the world. Now we said that when the sixth trumpet blew the church was judged that Leo the church got left because they had Jesus on the outside. Behold I send them the door and knock. If anybody hears my voice and open the doors I will come in. That church get left behind. The Philadelphia church the one that keeps his word and the one that does not deny his name his deity that church is gone. That begins this seven-year period. We said that dur during the first 1260 days, God released the first five months called the first wool. All of the demons that are in hell. Why? Because Jesus comes to the air and that's where Satan is now. He's the chief ruler principality that is on the air opposing our prayers and and everything. Everything that comes from heaven has to travel through that. That's why when Daniel was praying, Gabriel was held up. When Jesus comes in, he dislodges Satan out of there. It says there was war in heaven. Michael and his angels fought against the dragon and his angels and the dragon and the angels could not prevail and they were cast to the earth. They were removed out of that uh demonic realm. And that's where we go meet Jesus. That's where the rapture when he said we we're not going to heaven. We're going to be caught up with the Lord in the air to meet him in the clouds and the air. So when Satan gets thrown out of that place, that's where we were taken out to that place. And while we're there, these demons are now on earth. And for five months, they're given power to torment everybody, but they cannot kill anybody. So God in his grace allows this to happen. Then four angels are released from the river Euphrates that have been locked there. And then these are the ones like the executioners and they deal with this. And at the end of this, which is where we finished last week, the two witnesses are killed and then they are raised up to life. At the end, they prophesy for 1,260 days, which is uh uh uh 42 months. They are killed. Their bodies lay in Jerusalem for three and a half days. After that, the meaning towards the evening, the spirit of God come upon him, raises them up, and says, "Come up here." And then we saw that that was the the second uh resurrection or the second stage of the first resurrection. You have the resurrection of the church which includes a rapture. You have the resurrection of the saint of the first half of the tribulation which includes God taking people to the earth to protect them. And we read that last week. In other words, uh when you are resurrected, you becomes like the angels of heaven. you're not human anymore in the sense that you can reproduce. So because of that, God has to keep humans uh uh uh on the earth for Israel to reproduce. These people we read last week as they go into the holes and into the caves, their idols, which is the demons are going to be left to the bath and to the bowls. they go through that, God is going to do a a a purification to where when they go into the earth, they're delivered of every demonic thing. They are not released until when Jesus Christ comes back and he brings them up. Now, what I want to deal with tonight is what happens in that middle and in the second half. And um we're going to start in Revelation chapter 13. If you got the book, it's at the very bottom of the page 62. That's where it start. Revelation 13 15-8 it says he was granted power to give breath to the image of the beast that the image of the beast should both speak and cause as many as would not worship the image of the beast to be killed. He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hands or on their foreheads, and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man. His number is 666. Now notice that the power of this beast has to do with the ability to buy or to sell an economic thing. Back in the days when everybody was farmer, you didn't have to buy anything. You could grow your own tomatoes and stuff you could do with everything. Now today, very few people could do that. So now here's what happened. Uh at the end of the 1260 days, the two witnesses are killed. They're laying in the mount. The world is rejoicing because to them, these people were men from outer space. Aliens were tormented them. We the humans finally figure out how to kill them. They're laying there at the end of this three and a half days. Their bodies come back alive and they're taken. Now, Daniel says that when you see that happen, when you see the desolation, the abomination that causes desolation, it tells to all of the Jews, flee to the mountains. If you're in Judea, flee to the mountains. We have a scripture over here. Uh, let me see if I can find it. Okay, it's a little further down the road. Let me not get ahead of myself. But anyway, what happens is these uh Jews have to flee to the grounds to the caves because God is going to use them to restore the nation of Israel physical. We remember we're in heaven. Everybody that's resurrected goes to heaven. So now as soon as the two witnesses are removed, the anointed authority on the earth is removed for the first time ever. From the time that God created Adam, the dominion was given to Adam. Even though Adam's sin, still his clothes, the clothes that God gave him from the animals that he killed represented the men who had the authority that was passed down to Noah, that was passed down to Shem. And all through I don't care how many darkness has been in the church age has been the church even when the church was in the medieval days corrupted even today when the church corrupted still the church is God's representative on the earth it's not until the church is removed the anointed the the remnant God always has a remnant remember when Elisha was fighting uh uh uh uh Elisha said to God they kill everybody and they're after me and the only one left and God said to Elijah I got 7,000 who have not bowed their knees to bail. God always has a remnant which Satan doesn't know where they're at, otherwise Satan will get them. But God always has a remnant. Okay? So this church when it is removed, the anointing is placed back upon Israel. Why? Because Israel is the one that now has to be dealt with. There's seven years left for God to deal with Israel. At the end of these three and a half years when the two witnesses are resurrected on the second part of the first resurrection takes place it Daniel says that it becomes desolate. The abomination that causes the desolation. Desolation means that the anointed authority from God upon the earth is removed. That means there is no power of prayer anymore. See, right now you could see an evil coming and just one little old lady that nobody's heard about it gets on their knees and praise to God. Paul puts it in Thessalonian. He says, "The spirit of antichrist is already at work. But there's something that's hindering him from coming on. But when that one that hinders him is removed, then he will be revealed." So this power of evil cannot be removed as long as there's an anointed person upon the earth that has power to pray because Jesus said, "I give you authority over all the power of the enemy." The enemy means Satan. Satan, the word Satan means enemy, adversary. That's what Satan mean. So every Christian, I don't care how simple or how weak or how imperfect you are, you believe the word of God. You believe that Jesus is the son of God, that he is the deity, that he was born of God, the the bloodline of, you have authority with God. Your name is written in heaven. As long as your name is written in heaven, you have authority. And the Antichrist cannot take over anything as long as we're there. This is how powerful we are. That's what Jesus said. But you see, once that anointing, we're removed, that anointing is passed through the Jews. The two witnesses are killed. They're removed. Where's that anointing goes? It's gone. That's why Daniel prophecy said the abomination that causes desolation. Now, the mark of the beast that we just read is the time that this Satan basically through this man rules over the earth without any opposition. This is the time. See, it says it is the number of a man. Notice what it says there. Uh it says um he the image of the beast that uh is able to speak and cause as many as would not worship the image of the beast to be killed. He causes all both small and great, rich and poor. That means the richest or the poorest, free slave. If you're in prison, there all have to receive a mark on their right hand and on their foreheads. And no one may buy or sell except the one who has the mark or the name of the beast or the number of his name. Notice is a mark that represents the name or the number of his name. This is important that you understand the number of his name. And then he says here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast for it is the number of a man. His number is 666. Now you say, "Well, how can I calculate or figure the number of the bees?" Well, uh, if you're on the book, uh, it's on page 63 at the bottom. If you got your Bible, you can go to Deuteronomy 32. Look at verses 7 and 8. In Deuteronomy 32:es 7 and 8, Moses, by the way, wrote 12 psalms. He dedicated one psalm to each tribe of Israel. Psalms 90 to 100, that's 11 psalms of Moses are there. Deuteronomy, this is this area we're reading now in Deuteronomy 32 is called the song of Moses. And the song of Moses is a prophetic. All 12 psalms of Moses are prophetic and they're rich in meaning. As a matter of fact, in in Psalm 90, Moses says uh the the teach us to number our days. teach us to count and then that's when he says that the days like a thousand years and a year is like a thousand day and then he says the lifespan of men remember when Moses live 120 years Joshua lived anotherund and some years when Moses's day people still a lot longer but yet in Psalm 90 Moses says the days the lifespan of a human is 70 years and then it's 80 if you have the strength now The Jesus said that the last generation shall not pass away until all other things take place. And what is we the the the Philadelphia church told in Revelation chapter 3? You have little strength. That's the key word that tells you that the last generation is going to be a 70-year generation because according to Moses, it lasts 80 years if you have the strength. our generation the last generation Jesus says you have little strength that means that that is a 70 year generation and that's a code word the 70 year okay now Moses is given as a code word over here in Deuteronomy 327 and8 and he tells the children of Israel said remember the days of old consider the years of many generations ask your father and he will show you ask your elders and they will tell you. When the Most High divided to the nations their inheritance, when he separated the sons of Adam, he said, "Bounds of the people according to the number of the children of Israel." All Jews see the world through a very simple light. You're either a son of Elohim or a son of Adam. You're either a Jew, light, law, enlightenment, or you're a gentile, which them is means like sinners. So in that verse over there, if you read it in in the original Hebrew, the sons of Adam means the humans, the unregenerated humans. The sons of Israel means sons of Elohim. Now you go to Psalm 82. I mean Psalm chap chap Psalm 8 I think it is and beginning at verse two it talks about the sons of Elohim what what are the uh what are we the children of men that you have given us power and it's talking about the sons of Elohim now why is that so important you mean because the phrase sons of Elohim has a numerical value in Hebrew and you see if we're going to figure out the mark of a beast it says that it's a number of a man and you need to calculate the number of a man. So the sons of Elohim, the letter sons of Elohim, Elohim means God. The sons of Elohim or the children of light or the enlightened children. That's why Jesus says you are children of the light. Don't hide your light under the butcher. We're sons of Elohim. We're children of light. Jesus said don't hide your light. We have a light. So the sons of Elohim has a numerical value of 153. Now, that is very important because when you get to John 21:11, and John is a spiritual version of of the gospel, it says there in John 21:11, Simon Peter went up and dragged the net to land full of large fish, 153. And although there were so many, the net was not broken. Imagine that. I I was a fisherman. I I fish a lot in Cuba. I used to catch shrimp, octopus, I I catch all time. One thing you never do is you count the fish when they're more than 20. If you catch five or six, you remember how many you caught, but once you get up to 153 fish, you know that that's a lot of fish. The Bible is giving us something. Why is that happening? This is the last time that Peter cast the net. that is speaking about spiritually a symbol of this is the the collection of all the saints. This is the collection of all the children of light. This is a completion of law and grace because God gave a promise to Abraham. He said, "Your seed will be like the sand uh uh uh the sand of the seashore and like the stars of heaven." The promise to Abraham was physical and spiritual. They'll have children. Abraham is going to produce children that are going to inherit the physical kingdom of God. During the kingdom age, there's going to be two kinds of people. When Jesus rules and reigns on the earth, those of us who are resurrected and have the new body, we're going to be like Jesus. We're going to be totally physical, able to eat, stake, able to run, able to do all of things. But yet, we like Jesus going to be able to travel through walls and we're going to be able to travel at the speed of thought. I want to be in Cuba and I'm there because that's how Jesus's body is. That's the type of body we're going to have. And during a thousand years, it says that we're going to rule and reign with Christ. Well, how do you rule and reign with Christ? There probably not going to be no cars because there's not going to be pollution during the kingdom age. The kingdom age is going to be a rural kind of to where horses and and and ships with sales and stuff like that. How do the people that will be living in America at that time know what Jesus wants them to do when Jesus is ruling out of Jerusalem? Us. We're going to rule and reign with Christ. we're going to be able to pop over there. The Lord says, "Marcos, there I am. I want you to go tell Joe over there and that so and so that he needs to plant his this type of plant this time because that's what I'm going to bless." And I'm over here and say, "Hey Joe, why?" Because Joe doesn't have a new body yet. See, the people who survive this tribulation are going to come into a kingdom like it was before the days of Noah to where people live lives over a 900 years. Isaiah speaking about this. He says that during the kingdom age, a person who dies at the age of 100 will be like a baby dying. So these people all of this toxic and and and and son that kills all of that is going to be barred by the time we enter into the kingdom age. The people to survive and and and the people's going to be there, they're going to reproduce like crazy. There's not going to be no war. There's not going to be no devil. There's not going to be no death. So in a hundred years, I mean imagine when they came when Columbus came here to America 500 years ago, there were just a few hands of people, the whole continent of America right now has billions of people. This is how fast we multiply in just two 300 years. And yet all of those people died. Imagine if Columbus would still be alive. if all those people still be alive and reproducing because you know they they go to to a woman's ovary and they know that she's able she's had thousands and thousands of eggs they can figure out well if a woman reaches a place where she can reproduce no more why is it that in her DNA she has all of this thing because we were never designed to die and during this thousand-year reign of Christ we are going to fulfill the destiny for the entire human race both spiritual and physical so as we rule and reign with Christ there's is going to be people that's going to be earthbound. So that's what our job is that we are going to be able to go in front of Jesus in Jerusalem and go back. And it tells us that the nations that don't offer up the the right offerings to the Lord will not be blessed with rain. They will not have no rain. And so this is the system. So once you understand that, now you realize that God is taking because the Jewish race has to inherit the earth. They were given a physical promise. They were told that they were going to inherit the land all the way from the Euphrates all the way to the Mediterranean. They have never ruled that. Even during David and Solomon, they only rule onethird of the promise. During the kingdom age, that will be all their lot. Okay? And so now the antichrist, and we read this last week, the devil possesses him, goes after the woman, but she goes into the ground where she's protected. And then so he makes war against her offspring, those who believe in the law and those who believe in in in in in Jesus. And during this time now, this guy is going to control the whole earth. And his number is 666, meaning that that has to do with what he's going to control. Now, Satan is always an imitator. And everything that God does, Satan imitates. So the question that I want to ask you now is how did God arrive at the number 153? Why does the children of Elohim? Why is there a numerical value 153? To do that you need to understand what Moses did. Moses built uh the tabernacle which is a type. This is different uh things that went into the tabernacle. And in that he copied it from heaven. He gave us a picture of how God counts the children of Israel. When you went into the the u the holy place, let's say that this is the holy place and that this will be the door here. Let's say that from here to there this is hold the holy place. The holy place there was a curtain right here a very thick curtain and that part there was completely blocked and nobody could go into that side of the holy place except once a year on the day of atonement which is going to be next week by the way day of atonement. The only furniture that was on that side of the curtain was the ark of the covenant. The ark of the covenant was solid gold. You took this lid out, which was all one piece for the two angels. And inside of there was the ten commandments that God gave to Moses. There was a rod of h the rod of Aaron, a piece of dead wood that bought it and there was a jar of mana and that was placed in there that was into this holy place. Now in into the holy of holies in the holy place where the priest went in every day as you came in through the curtain on this side of it there was a minora which represents the church. You see revelation chapter one it says that Jesus was moving in between the church which is seven. So the church is seven sealed seven uh churches is on this side of the place. Now on the opposite side facing that it was what they call the table of showbread. And in this table there were 12 loaves of bread that were made fresh every Monday. They were put in there until the Sabbath day. At the end of Sabbath day that bread would be taken out and a new loaf would put in. You probably read about David when he was fleeing and they were starving and he came to a place and asked the priest, "You guys got anything to eat? The enemies is in our hill. we haven't eaten anything for two, three days. And the priest told him, "All we got is the table that's there." And and so they ate. When they asked Jesus about violating the law and stuff like that, said, "Haven't you read when David was fleeing and how he was fed from that bread?" Okay, now remember all of this represents something. Then in the middle facing the curtain where you couldn't open or go in there except once a year was this item. This is called the uh the altar of incense. Only a very special mix of 11 herbs and spices can be used there. And that was like this is placed in the front. No, now watch what this symbolize. The table of showbread symbolizes Israel. The minora represents the church. This represents the holy of holies, heaven, the presence of God. And here represents the the table where the incense is brought on. Incense represents prayer. You read that into revelation. Now before you came into the holy place and the rest of the thing, there was a big altar over here which is a big altar that you see u let me see uh if you can see it is right here. You see the smoke rising out of it. That was called the brace and altar. All the altar of great sacrifice. A priest came in through the door that was on the east. The very first thing he met was this huge altar where the sacrifice were offered. And then next to it was what called a labor. And there there's a picture is during the days of Solomon was a huge labor that was set on top of 12 boos. Now look what happened in Revelation chapter 7. We're told that the angel comes from the east. Why the east? Because in this place there were only one entrance and the entrance was on the east. The Bible tells us that God gives us beauty for ashes. Why? Because the altar of great sacrifice, when you offer a burnt offering, all that was left is the ashes that were in the bottom. When you live and you serve God and you die, your body is nothing but ashes. When the rapture comes, those ashes are put together, brought up. Now Paul says that during the the the resurrection and the rapture, those of us who are alive and remain are going to be caught up. So look at the picture. The angel comes from the east, comes through the door, comes right to the altar and every person who died in Christ, woo, rises up. And as he go up the stair, like the high priest used to go up the stair, every person who's still up here in the fire because we're in tribulation. That's why the the church go through tribulation. As we're going through this tribulation, we get caught up and we're taken. Now, where did we go to? Well, see, our goal is the Holy of Holies. That's where God is. That's where Jesus is. That's where the blood of Jesus is. So, the Bible says that we have wrinkles that have to be cleaned up. It's called the judgment seat of Christ. It's a judgment of reward. We're already been cut up. We're already been saved. is now we're going to give him uh clean clothes and we're going to give an assignment. Okay? Because God does everything right. So we're brought to this labor which represents the word of God that washes us. We all appear before the judgment seat of Christ. Once we're cleansed, the angel goes into the holy place. And what's the first thing he goes? He goes to where the manora is. That represents the church. That mean that our physical body now that has been resurrected will be united with our soul and our spirit which are now already seated at the right hand of God. Every person that has died with Christ is there is in the temple of God right now waiting. They cannot physically go into the presence of God yet until they're get their new body like Jesus. Remember Jesus said to to uh Martha or Mary said don't touch me. I haven't ascended yet. My physical body hasn't gone through into the presence of God yet. Okay. So then the angel comes in, grabs the church. That's when our bodies, our souls, our spirit, we're put one together just like Jesus. We become now like Jesus. We have a physical eternal body, but hallelujah, we're like him, eternal. Then we're taken up into the place of prayer. And we saw that there the angel was given mush incense to burn and that was the prayers of the saint. And as this is throwing up into the altar, we are taken into the presence of God almighty. But we see in Zechariah that next to the manura there were two olive trees. We know that these two olive trees are the two witnesses because we read that in revelation chapter 11 chapter 12. It says the two olive trees that you saw are the two that stand witness before the presenc Previous Next Home

THE GOD WHO FORMED YOU The purpose of this teaching is to reveal the truth that God is the One who has personally formed, sanctified, and ordained each of us from the very beginning—even before birth. Drawing from Jeremiah 1:4–10, Psalm 139, and other supporting scriptures, the lesson emphasizes God’s intimate knowledge of us, His divine calling on our lives, and His continuing presence and authority through His Word. The teaching aims to encourage believers to embrace their identity in Christ, walk boldly in their calling, and trust the God who created and prepared them with love and purpose. THE GOD WHO FORMED YOU Minister Lisa Kane June 22, 2025 Objective: The purpose of this teaching is to reveal the truth that God is the One who has personally formed, sanctified, and ordained each of us from the very beginning—even before birth. Drawing from Jeremiah 1:4–10, Psalm 139, and other supporting scriptures, the lesson emphasizes God’s intimate knowledge of us, His divine calling on our lives, and His continuing presence and authority through His Word. The teaching aims to encourage believers to embrace their identity in Christ, walk boldly in their calling, and trust the God who created and prepared them with love and purpose. Synopsis: This message, “The God Who Formed You,” begins with Jeremiah’s calling, where God tells the prophet, “Before I formed thee in the belly, I knew thee.” From this passage, the teaching highlights how God is not only the Creator of life but the One who molds, sanctifies, and ordains individuals for His purposes before they are even born. The lesson underscores that every believer has a divine calling, and God equips them with His Word and Spirit to fulfill it. Lisa explains how Jeremiah’s experience demonstrates God’s authority to appoint, prepare, and protect those He calls, even in the face of fear and opposition. She connects this truth to the life of every believer—affirming that God has written our names, our design, and our destinies in His book from the moment of conception. Psalm 139 reinforces that we are “fearfully and wonderfully made” and continuously in God’s thoughts. The teaching also stresses the power of God’s Word placed in our mouths—just as He touched Jeremiah’s lips—enabling us to speak life, truth, healing, and authority over nations, circumstances, and personal struggles. Testimonies and reflections illustrate God’s personal involvement and protection in everyday life, reminding listeners that He is always near. Ultimately, the lesson calls believers to recognize their identity in the God who formed them, seek His kingdom first, and boldly proclaim His Word to others. By knowing that God has overcome the world, we can live with peace, confidence, and purpose, trusting in the One who knew us before we were born and continues to walk with us daily.

This teaching is called the God who formed you. So, let's start off here in Jeremiah 1:4-10. Then the word of the Lord came unto me, saying, So, I'm going to stop here. This is Jeremiah. He is uh about to start the book of Jeremiah, and you can go read the whole thing on your own time. I'm going to just talk about these uh up to verse 10. The way I teach is I present to you the the word in the King James version. And if you see a bolded word in there with italicized words after it, the bolded word is the original word that the translators used in the King James version. And the italicized words are other words that the the translators could have used. And I get those other words from the Strong's Hebrew Greek dictionary. So, and I all I do is I add those extra words in that parenthesis is just to show you where the original author was going with this because we are talking through uh translation. So, I just want to clarify that. Okay. So, says then the word of the Lord came unto me saying, so now God is talking to Jeremiah and Jeremiah is recording this. We're in verse 5. Before I formed thee in the belly, I knew thee. And before thou camest forth out of the womb, I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations. Okay, so we're going to stop really quick here. One of the things is I'm going to be talking about the God who formed me, the God who formed you. We are formed by God. The word formed, as you can see here, means to mold, squeeze, or determined. So he has determined us. He has molded us. He has prepared. He gave us a calling right at the outset here. There is just no uh holding back here. He's saying this is what I've called you. Now, he's telling this to Jeremiah. Now, I'm going to show you other scriptures here in a bit that's going to show you where the scriptures tell us that God is doing that to us, too. It's not just to be a prophet. But I wanted to show this to you because Jeremiah is a very interesting person. And he went through, for lack of a better phrase, hell on earth in speaking the words of God to the nation of Israel and then getting it written down and getting it preserved and his life ending. Jeremiah was called as a youth. And this is very, very interesting. He's saying straight up. This is God telling him before I formed you, before I even made the determination of you in the belly, he says, I knew, I recognized you. So, it's as if God had been sitting there waiting. I'm waiting for a prophet. Where is he? Oh, there he is. So, at the moment of conception, it was like, there he is. I knew you. This is the God that we serve. God is so powerful that even at the moment of conception, he writes a book about us. I'm going to get into that a little bit here. It's something I've taught on before, but I wanted to show and elaborate to you who this God is. He's the one who has formed us. He has prepared us. And here he's saying uh in the belly, I knew you. I recognized you. And then before you even came out of the womb, he says, I sanctified you. I made you clean. Now, I want to pause here and think about that for a moment. Why would a newborn need to be clean or a baby that hasn't even been born? Because a baby is conceived in sin. You see, Adam and Eve fell in the beginning and Jesus came back to redeem us and he's the one who had to clean us and sanctify us. So God is saying, "Listen, while you were in the womb and I knew you, I I mold before I even molded you. Before I even I determined you. I deter that's a word there in recognized. He determined. He formed. He recognized." Then he says, "I sanctified. I cleaned you." He did that to Jeremiah in order for Jeremiah to be the prophet. And look what else he says. And I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations. I've placed you. I've called you to be I've given you to be a prophet over the nations. That's your calling. That's what I put on you. Question I have is what's the calling he put in your life? And and you know what? It's okay. God loves you so much that even if you didn't do what he called you to do or be, he knew. And he's just been waiting for you to come see him and talk to him. He knew it already while you were in the belly of your mother. He knew that already. He's just waiting for you to come to him. humble yourself and ask him to forgive you. By the way, he will he will always forgive you. And don't get tripped up about, oh well, there's the uh the son of predition that won't or not the son of predition that there's a sin that is not forgivable. Trust me, that's because that's on the son of predition. That's not on you. You are not the son of predition. You're not Satan. You are not part of that world. And even if you were like dedicated or committed or a curse was placed on your life, God already knew you. He looked at you in the beginning and he saw you already and he knew you. you know, to share a little testimony. My dad and and my husband and I were out to lunch after church this morning, uh, this afternoon, and we were talking about, um, how God has protected our family and kept us, and I remember one time, this is when we were living in Lake Elsenor, California. I remember sitting there, it's 3:00 in the morning, actually. I was laying there and it was 3:00 in the morning and I in California you always keep your windows open pretty much but I had a slider door there for the deck and I'm on the second floor. It is open but I remember laying there and aware that God was there. He was like right outside the window a little ways away but it was like and and I'm not talking just God. I'm saying God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Spirit. I was aware and in my mind to this day it still affects me in a way that he came to me at that point. Didn't have to say anything. I just knew he was there and that how that has impacted my life because I I sit here going, man, I must have got his attention somewhere in the future. Who am I that he came to visit me? But let me tell you something. He already knew. And he wanted me to know that he knew and that he was preparing me for whatever is to come. He's done the same for you. He knows you. He's written a book. Now look at Jeremiah's response. It's it's valid in and it's point on. He says, "Then said I, ah, Lord God, behold, I cannot speak, for I am a child." You know, it's funny. Jesus, he said, "Bring the little ones. Let them be here. If you do not bring the little ones in, then you know, you're not part of God." See, God loves children. God is a family man. Isn't that just incredible? Now your impression of family might not be beautiful because you know depending how you were raised and and whether you were orphaned or whatever has happened to you but God is a family man and then he provides you a family you know when you become a believer you become adopted into God's family which is his chosen nation of Israel and it's the church the body of Christ that is your family and sometimes it's really good and sometimes it's challenging But when you have a relationship with God, the God who formed you, he's the one that has prepared you and you you're at peace about everything. No matter someone, a loved one dies, because you know your father, you know who formed you. You know he has them. As it says in Hebrews 9:27, all are appointed to die once. Well, we're all eventually going to die. We're all going to end up on that other side right here though, right now, knowing that he formed us. What's the most important part? Share his word. Share our testimony. Share our lives. Let the people see that we have a peace upon us simply because we know he formed us. We know he has called us. That is the most important part of this. Now look at uh what God says to Jeremiah after he says that. Verse 7. But the Lord said unto me, "Say not, I am a child, for thou shalt to go to all that I shall send appoint thee, and whatsoever I command thee, thou shalt speak." And then be not afraid of those of their faces, for I am with thee to deliver thee, saith the Lord. He says, I don't want you to be afraid. And don't say that just because you're a youth. He he says very clearly, I'm going to send you. You're going to be a voice and you're going to speak my words. And then I love how he says, "Don't even be afraid or revere their faces." See, when you're afraid of a bully or you're afraid of what people are going to say, you're giving them more power and authority than they actually have. They don't have that power and authority. So, what it is, you're revering them. You're like, "Oh, look at how much power. Oh, I got to be afraid of them." No, no, no. You need to be afraid of the God who can send them straight to hell for an eternity versus sending you straight to heaven with him as an etern eternity. This is where we have to finally humble ourselves before the Lord and realize I'd rather rever God and be afraid of him than be afraid of anything else in the world. And he's telling Jeremiah this because see Jeremiah is going to go through some hardships. You can go read the book of Jeremiah. You can go find out all the things he had to do and some of it was bad. You that's your homework. You go read that. Take you about I don't know a month maybe to read. The book of Jeremiah is a long book in the Bible. And uh just know that God is with him and God is very clearly saying I am with thee. I'm near thee and I'm going to snatch you away from them. I'm going to deliver you out of them. I want to snatch you away. So Jeremiah still lived to be a lengthy time, but it was a hard life. But God knew this and he had formed him and that's where he was going with him. So he's telling him, "Don't be afraid." Then he continues on in verse 9. Then the Lord put forth his hand and touched my mouth. You see, here is a God who has created everything. He created the universe we're in. He created the the air, our bodies, how to adapt and adjust and live in this world. We're in such a way that if you had so much faith that you can never be sick, you will never be sick. You can live like that. If you believe everything, you know, then you might believe who is telling you you're going to be sick or this or culture tells you, oh, if you go from hot to cold or cold to hot, you're going to get sick. No, you don't have to live like this. See, God gave you the ability to live in healing, to live in peace, no matter what circumstance has taken place. I I do know some people that I sit there and I get mad for them for what they had to go through and they're just like, well, you know, and they they don't even they hardly talk about it or it's uh just a as a casual bygone. That is how God has transformed their lives and he gave them that ability. So here he is doing the same for Jeremiah. He put his he touched his word into his mouth. See Jesus is the author of the word of God. Jesus is the word of God. He's the embodiment of it. So here he says, "Okay, let me touch your lips." He touches Jeremiah's lips. And when he touched his lips, he put his word. He put Jesus into the lips of Jeremiah. So every time Jeremiah spoke the word of God, he was speaking what Jesus was speaking to the nation of Israel and warning them and warning them and warning them because that's what Jeremiah is all about is all the warnings. Don't stray away from God. And they wouldn't believe. And they were stubborn, so stiff necked. But that was how the Israelites were at that time. And God was working with them. He they Jesus spoke his word through Jeremiah. Continuing on, it says, "The Lord said unto me, behold, I have put my words, my cause in your mouth." See now the cause, Jesus cause of salvation, healing, mercy, redemption. He put all that into the mouth of Jeremiah. Says, "I want you to tell these words to the nation of Israel." See, Jesus loves. Jesus is forgiving. He is the merciful, graceful God that there is. And he's telling the nation of Israel through Jeremiah, I want you to repent. Come back to me. Stop following false idols. And this is where Jeremiah became that word and had to go speak that because God called him to do that because he knew him. God formed Jeremiah. God formed Lisa. I'm gonna make her a teacher of the word of God. and I'm going to make her an intercessory prayer warrior. She's going to pray into the situations the name of Jesus. And then you begin to see how God moves. But it's because he formed me. He knew me. And he is doing the same. He has done the same for you. Amen. Continuing on, see this verse 10. God is still talking. See, I have this day set thee over the nations and over the kingdoms. So he Jeremiah is overseeing the kingdoms and the dominions and the powers because he's got the word of Jesus in his mouth and the word of Jesus has always had the kingdoms and dominions. You know Satan lied to him in the 40 days of wilderness when Jesus was fasting. You know the the devil tempted him says listen you bow down to me I will give you all these kingdoms they'll worship you. No, they the devil never has the kingdoms because the saints, Jeremiah being one of them, and if you go read Isaiah 49, we 149, we have the ability to pray over our kings and dominions and cause effective change. One of the reasons why Trump is president now is because of prayer from the church. The church said, "You know what? We see the difference between Kamla and Trump and Lord we are putting this at your throne and we speak the word of God and we pray the word of God over it and what happens Trump got voted in. That's because God already knew the situation. He had already formed Trump. He prepared Trump for this time. He prepared Kamla at for her time at this season. But she has gone a different route. Who knows? She could have been all powerful and could have been the first black American president if she had been a believer in God and God had taken her down that route. But her actions clearly say that she does not support Israel. She So I, you know, don't know if she's an actual believer, but she didn't have that blessing on her. Trump did. But remember, God makes people for and then he makes other things. He made the devil. He formed the light, but he created darkness. That's Isaiah 45:7. You can go read how he did that. So God can do anything and prepare anyone at any time for any of this. Uh to root out. Now listen, this is the authority Jeremiah's given. So he says, "See, I've set this day. I've I have this day set thee over the nations and over the kingdoms to root out." That's to tear away, to pull down, to tear down, and to destroy, lose or perish, to throw down, break in pieces, to build, repair, and to plant or fasten. Jeremiah was given that authority. So when he would speak a word, the word of God, Jesus, it would be to tear down, to tear apart, to break into pieces, or to repair, and to plant. You see, that was God's plan for Jeremiah. And this is where we have to realize that he has given us authority as the body of Christ to do the same. Amen. Let's go to Psalm 139. I want you to see something here in u the Psalms. Verse 13. For thou hast possessed my reigns, purchased me is what that means. Thou has covered or fenced in me in my mother's womb. I love that word purchased me. I love that extra translation that could be in there because Jesus is our redeemer and he paid the price for our sins. He has set us apart from the world. And he did it where? In our mother's womb. He covered us. He fenced us in. He put us in there. He's already got us covered. Even though we were conceived in sin, this is what redemption and mercy is about. God who formed us, you know, he could have ended everything and stopped back then and restarted and who knows could have hoped that Adam and Eve wouldn't do it a second time, whatever. But instead, he decided to continue on with it and send his only begotten son to redeem the people and decided to do that because he loves us so much. He wanted to get to know us. He formed us in the womb. Even before we lived our life, even before we made the decision to call on his name, he knew us. This is the God who formed us. Verse 14, I will praise thee, or throw my hands up to thee, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Marvelous are thy works, and that my soul knoweth right well. You see his word, he put his word in Jeremiah and Jeremiah spoke his word, but he put his word, the name of Jesus. He put Jesus into us in the womb for right to for us to recognize and know right from wrong. We know the difference. This is why we were able to come in and pray and see Trump become the victor over Kamla. We were able to see that because we know right from wrong by the fruit of their actions. I love it how Trump, you know, they just bombed the nuclear plants in Iran. I love it how Trump came out and says, "God, I love you. Thank you." You see, he's putting God first in his life. You can't ask for anything more than that. Now, whatever God ends up doing with Trump and how he uses him, maybe he sets him up for his return, whatever ends up happening there, one thing I know is based on right and wrong, based on what was placed in my heart while I was in my mother's womb, I know that we're in the right right now because of the fruit of what I can see and what the Lord has caused me to know in my heart. Amen. My substance or power was not hid from thee when I was made in secret and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth. You see, when you have intimate relations with someone and you get someone pregnant, that's usually in darkness or it's, you know, a very intimate time. It's a very private time. It's enclosed. This is what how it happens normally. But you see, God knew us there. We were still known by God even in that moment. He knew. He knew us because he formed us. He prepared us. He called us. Verse 16. Thine eyes did see my substance. Yet being imperfect, listen, we weren't we were in conceived in sin, we were already imperfect in the womb. And he saw us. And in Jeremiah's case, he called Jeremiah. Oh, look at this. So then he says, "Yet being imperfect, and in thy book all my members were written, described, which in continuence were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them." He didn't even have his members yet. you know, he was conceived and at the point of conception, you're just a little mass, a little, you know, it's an egg and a sperm and it starts to form inside there, but there are no legs, there's no head, there's no brain, there's no eyes, there's nothing yet. You're just a little seed in there. And he says, "And in thy book, all my members were written, described." At the moment of conception, God writes a book about you. It's entitled with your name. He knows your name. He knows whether you're male or female. He knows what your members are going to look like. He's already written your description in there. He knows at this moment when it hasn't even happened. This is the God of whom we serve. This is our God. This is how powerful he is. This is why the grave couldn't hold back Jesus. Oh, hallelujah. And uh which in continuence were fashion when as yet there was none of them. How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, oh God. How great is the sum of them. He thinks about us all the time. We are mindful. He is mindful of us. He thinks of us all the time. They are continuous thoughts that he has and they're good. They're precious. If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand. When I awake, I am still with thee. God doesn't leave us. He's still there. We go to sleep. We go off into dreamland. We go into wherever place we go. Our body needs that rest, but our mind still goes somewhere else. God is with us when we wake up. And his thoughts are good over us. He's got plans and thoughts for us. And all it is is just stopping and saying, "Thank you, Lord." And asking him to lead us. He will take us there. He will open doors. He will close doors. He will protect us. He will because he's the God who formed us. Oh, hallelujah. This is awesome. Then it says here in Matthew 28, look at what Jesus says. Because again, Jesus is the word of God that was placed in Jeremiah. And then Jesus right and wrong is what's placed in our heart. Look at what Jesus says here in Matthew 28. And Jesus came and spake unto them saying, "All power is given unto me in heaven and earth." Jesus has all the power and authority. He's the one who said, "Let there be light." And there was light and it was good. This he's he's the all powerful. He's the power. He's the one who did it. He's the one who made it happen. And it was by spoken word. Says, "Go ye therefore and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost." You see, now it's a little different here. He told Jeremiah, "I'm going to put my word in you. what you speak, you're going to tear down, pull around, pull up, uh, break into pieces, repair and build up and plant. That now he says, I want you to go to everyone, teach them, baptize them, teach them to observe all things whatsoever I've commanded you, and lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen. Still, he is with us every day, and he has overcome the world. That is so amazing. In fact, let's read that last scripture there. Verse 33 or John 16:33. These things I have spoken unto you that in me might have peace in the world. You have tribulation, but be of good cheer. I've overcome the world. See, God created this world. Jesus created it all. So, he has placed it his word in our hearts. And he tells you, I want you to do these things and I want you to go do what you need to do. This is what I'm calling you to do. I formed you to do this. And he says, "And don't be afraid of them. I overcame I overcame the world." I love that. That is so awesome. This is the God who formed us. He's the one who has established us. So if you want to know what your will in God is, first seek first the kingdom of God. Matthew uh 6:33, seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added unto you. How do you seek the king seek seek the kingdom of God? You seek him by putting him first in your lives. Have a relationship with him in the morning, in the evening. Read the word. Pray. Ask him questions and look. He will answer you. Then he tells you to go into all the world. That is also letting people know the relationship you have with Jesus because they can have it too because he formed them in the womb just like he formed me and Jeremiah in the womb. Like you, he formed you. He prepared you. And he's telling you to go into all the world and preach the good news. Telling you that I am the good news. I came and redeemed you. I paid the price for your sins. I'm the one who knew you. You know me because you know the right I have placed in you in the womb. This is who I am. This is who you are. Let us partner up together and go show the world the testimony of what I have done for you. This is Jesus calling us into that anointing, into that walk, into that relationship with him so that we can say, "Hey, look what I have. I've got Jesus. Do you want to have peace in your life, too? Let me introduce you to Jesus." He knew you when you were conceived. What? Before you even had a body, he knew what you would look like. And he knows he has good thoughts of you. He thinks wonderful things about you. He is mindful of you. He wants to know everything about your life. What's going on? Where are you going? What are you doing? This is the God who formed you and he placed right in your heart and you can speak his words just like Jeremiah did by taking the scripture, reading it, saying it out lou out out loud and applying it to whatever situation you're in. No weapon formed against us shall prosper. By his stripes I was healed. Let no man take apart what you have brought together. These are just some of the verses that we have that take us to making an effective change with our prayers. Amen. Let's close in a word of prayer. Father God, we thank you for your word and we bless your word. Your word is powerful. Your presence is powerful and we know in our heart what is right and what is wrong. Thank you, Father God, for placing your word in our mouths and helping us to know you because you know us so much more than we know you. And I pray that we begin to have that relationship with you where we know what is right and we can stay away and pray against that wrong that is out there. Father God, thank you for your paying the price and redeeming us and saving us. In the name of Jesus, we pray. Amen. Amen. God bless you. I will see you in the next message. Bye-bye.

GOD'S COVENANT WITH DAY AND NIGHT To explain the unbreakable nature of God’s covenant with day and night as a symbol of His eternal promises to Abraham, David, and their descendants, showing how these covenants are fulfilled in Jesus Christ as both King and Priest. The lesson emphasizes God’s faithfulness despite human failure, the duality of conditional and unconditional aspects within His covenant, and the ultimate fulfillment of His plan of redemption and restoration through Christ. GOD'S COVENANT WITH DAY AND NIGHT Pastor Marcos Marrero Objective: To explain the unbreakable nature of God’s covenant with day and night as a symbol of His eternal promises to Abraham, David, and their descendants, showing how these covenants are fulfilled in Jesus Christ as both King and Priest. The lesson emphasizes God’s faithfulness despite human failure, the duality of conditional and unconditional aspects within His covenant, and the ultimate fulfillment of His plan of redemption and restoration through Christ. Synopsis: In Jeremiah 33:20–21, God declares His covenant with day and night as a parallel to His covenant with David, affirming that just as the natural order cannot be broken, neither can His promises. The day represents the unconditional aspect of God’s covenant—fulfilled solely by Him—while the night represents the conditional aspect, requiring obedience from David’s descendants. Even though Israel questioned God’s commitment during Jerusalem’s destruction, He reaffirmed that His covenant with Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and David was eternal and unshakable. The teaching traces how God’s covenant extends to two families—Abraham’s (priesthood) and David’s (kingship)—which find ultimate fulfillment in Jesus Christ. Abraham demonstrated his priestly calling through his encounter with Melchizedek, choosing spiritual authority over earthly kingship. David was promised an eternal throne, even though his descendants often failed. Jesus unites both offices as King and Priest, confirmed at His baptism and through His eternal priesthood after the order of Melchizedek. The covenant also included the Levites, pointing to God’s ultimate design of a kingdom of priests (Revelation 1:6). Though Israel’s disobedience led to judgment and exile, God’s covenant was never nullified; He promised restoration and mercy. This covenantal framework culminates in the end-times prophecy where the Two Witnesses represent Israel and the Church. Their death signals the temporary suspension of earthly representation, aligning with the “abomination of desolation” and a disruption of God’s covenant with day and night. Yet, this only precedes Christ’s return to reign for a thousand years, restoring His kingdom in fullness. Ultimately, the lesson shows how God’s covenants are perfectly interconnected across Scripture, affirming His faithfulness, sovereignty, and commitment to redemption. No matter human failure, His promises remain sure, culminating in Christ’s eternal reign as both Priest and King. Inspired Teaching: Jeremiah 33:20-21 “Thus says the Lord: ‘If you can break My covenant with the day and My covenant with the night, so that there will not be day and night 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 priests, My ministers.’” God’s covenant with the day and God’s covenant with the night are symbolic of the duality of God’s covenant with David and with his descendants forever. What I mean is that one part of the covenant is unconditional, that is what the light of day stands for, and is God’s part to fulfill in the and is God’s part to fulfill in the covenant; the other part is conditional, and that is what the darkness of night stand for, and that is David’s descendants part to fulfill. In other words, the one covenant is extended to cover two family lines; Abraham’s and David’s. Jeremiah 33:24 “Have you not considered what these people have spoken, saying, ‘The two families which the Lord has chosen, He has also cast them off’? Thus they have despised My people, as if they should no more be a nation before them.” What prompted God to mention that His obligation to the covenant was unbreakable was that they were questioning God’s commitment to His part of the covenant, because Jeremiah was prophesying the demise of the city of Jerusalem to the Babylonians. In their thinking, if there is no kingdom then there is no king. They failed to understand that God still reigns even after David’s descendants failed to keep their part of the covenant and suffered the consequences of their rebellion. Jeremiah 33:25-26 “Thus says the Lord: ‘If My covenant is not with day and night, and if I have not appointed the ordinances of heaven and earth, then I will cast away the descendants of Jacob and David My servant, so that I will not take any of his descendants to be rulers over the descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. For I will cause their captives to return, and will have mercy on them.’” Here God is establishing once more that His covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob is unbreakable, and that His choice of David and his family line to be rulers over the patriarchs descendants forever, is just as unbreakable. Then He adds, that they will be a nation again, for I will have mercy on them. “And with the Levites, the priests, My ministers.” Also notice that God’s covenant with David included the Levites and the priests that minister before God. God’s ultimate goal was to create a kingdom of priests, of which both Abraham and David are types! Revelation 1:6 “And has made us kings and priests to His God and Father, to Him be glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen.” Abraham had a choice being the first. In Genesis 14:16-24 we find that after defeating king Chedorlaomer to rescue Lot who had been taken captive, Abraham arrived in the King’s Valley and was met by Melchizedek king of Salem, who offered him bread and wine, for he was priest of God Most High. Those verses are full of types that we need to understand if we want to understand the nature of God’s covenant. In the original creation of man, Adam was both king and priest. A king as defined by my biblical understanding is one who exercises authority over the physical realm, and a priest as one who exercises authority over the spiritual realm. Because of the rebellion at the tower of Babel, God separated those powers when He confused the languages, and from that time on, rulers (kings) had to depend on priests for spiritual counsel and understanding. King Saul was immediately rejected by God according to the prophet Samuel, when Saul took it upon himself to offer sacrifices, which is the assignment and ministry of the priesthood and not the king. Abraham understood this principle and when he arrived in the Kings Valley he understood the significance. He had just defeated a consortium of kings and had now become as one of the kings. He was met by none other than God’s King-Priest Melchizedek and offered a choice. A this time Abraham owned all the spoils that were taken from Sodom where Lot lived, plus the spoils that belonged to the other kings. The future of Abraham’s ministry hanged in the balance, would he become ruler of man or priest of God? Genesis 14:18-20 “Then Melchizedek king of Salem brought out bread and wine; he was the priest of God Most High. And he blessed him and said: ‘Blessed be Abram of God Most High, Possessor of heaven and earth; and blessed be God Most High, who has delivered your enemies into your hand.’ And he (Abraham) gave him (Melchizedek) a tithe of all.” Immediately Abraham proceeded to renounce any association with the kings of the valley, even refusing to take any of the goods that he had captured, except for the offering that he gave as a tithe to God Most High. In essence the actions of Abraham were to reject the physical benefits of kingship, for the more enduring qualities of the priesthood and God’s favor in spiritual matters. So it is that in the next chapter God enters into an unbreakable covenant with Abraham and the priesthood to which he is called, where eventually Abraham is required to offer God Isaac his son of promise as a burnt offering, that act of faith establishes Abraham as the father of all the faithful, as he uttered those immortal words: God will provide for Himself a Lamb. 1 Kings 9:5 “Then I will establish the throne of your kingdom over Israel forever, as I promised David your father, saying, ‘You shall not fail to have a man on the throne of Israel.’” The two families, Abraham’s and David’s, symbolized the two components of the covenant, Priest and King, of which Jesus’ ministry is the fulfillment thereof. Matthew’s genealogy makes it clear that Jesus is a direct descendant of Abraham who offered tithes to Melchizedek, and His claim to the throne of David comes through His mother, Mary’s line, since Joseph’s line had been cursed. Hebrews 5:5-6 “So also Christ did not glorify Himself to become High Priest, but it was said to Him: ‘You are My Son, today I have begotten You.’ As He also says in another place: ‘You are a priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek.’” After Jesus came out of the water, from His baptism, God’s voice spoke from heaven saying: This is My beloved Son...Matthew 3:17 confirming that Jesus fulfills both ministries, He is King and Priest. 1 Kings 9:6-7 “But if you or your sons at all turn from following Me, and do no keep My commandments and My statutes which I have set before you, but go and serve other gods and worship them, then I will cut off Israel from the land which I have given them; and this house which I have consecrated for My name I will cast out of My sight…” So that even if the descendants of David that sat on the throne failed to meet the conditions required of them in the covenant, to keep God’s commandments and statutes, and because of that, the nation of Israel being removed and cut off from the land, God’s covenant is not nullified. Jeremiah 33:11 “The voice of joy and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride, the voice of those who will say: ‘Praise the Lord of Hosts, for the Lord is good, for His mercy endures forever—and of those who will bring the sacrifice of praise into the house of the Lord. For I will cause the captives of the land to return as at the first,’ says the Lord.” Jesus our High Priest offers the sacrifice of praise into the house of our Lord day and night in our behalf, while Jesus our King and Redeemer builds His church and rebuilds the nation of Israel by His mighty power to be established forever according to the covenant. Now there is another mystery attached to God’s covenant with the day and the night which takes place in the middle of the seven years wrath of God, when the abomination that causes desolation is revealed. Matthew 24:15-16 “Therefore when you see the abomination of desolation spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place (whoever reads, let him understand), then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains.” God’s Two Witnesses in Revelation represent the two families in God’s covenant, Israel and the church. And since the days of David either or both have not failed to have representation here on the earth as God’s ambassadors to the world, even during the dispersion of Israel or during the dark days of the church age, there has always been a faithful remnant to represent them. But when these Two Witnesses are killed, it means that the dispensations of Grace and Law are completed, as far as their physical responsibilities here on earth is concerned. So there will not be a representative from either one left on the earth at that time. That is what the abomination of desolation means, the throne of David is vacated until Jesus returns to the earth three and one half years later to begin His one thousand years reign. Zechariah 14:5/7 “Then you shall flee (when you see the abomination of desolation taking place)...It shall be one day which is known to the Lord—neither day nor night. But at evening time it shall happen that it will be light.” Isn’t it amazing! As the antichrist, who has just killed the Two Witnesses, begins to take control over the earth, and the throne of David is empty since God’s promised to have one of his descendants rule over it has been completed, immediately God’s covenant with the day and night in their season is abrogated as evening fails to come at its appointed time. Daniel 11:31 “And forces shall be mustered by him (the antichrist), and they shall defile the sanctuary fortress; then they shall take away the daily sacrifices, and place there the abomination of desolation.” Not only is the covenant with David completed for the present time, but also the covenant with the Levites and priests that minister before the Lord as they take the daily sacrifices away. I wrote this lesson in the hope that the readers will come to appreciate how awesome and how perfect the Word of God is! How everything in the Bible is powerfully connected, and how trustworthy God’s covenant with us is. There should be no doubt in our minds as to the commitment of God to bring about our full redemption in His time. Amen!

AS IN THE DAYS OF NOAH To exhort believers to remain vigilant, faithful, and fruitful in anticipation of Christ’s imminent return, avoiding the dangers of neglect and complacency. The teaching highlights Jesus’ warning that His coming will mirror the days of Noah—marked by ordinary living yet sudden judgment—and emphasizes personal accountability through the parable of the talents. The goal is to prepare hearts to live faithfully, shine their light, and multiply the gifts God has entrusted to them so they may be found ready at His appearing. AS IN THE DAYS OF NOAH Pastor Marcos Marrero Objective: To exhort believers to remain vigilant, faithful, and fruitful in anticipation of Christ’s imminent return, avoiding the dangers of neglect and complacency. The teaching highlights Jesus’ warning that His coming will mirror the days of Noah—marked by ordinary living yet sudden judgment—and emphasizes personal accountability through the parable of the talents. The goal is to prepare hearts to live faithfully, shine their light, and multiply the gifts God has entrusted to them so they may be found ready at His appearing. Synopsis: This teaching begins with the sobering reminder that neglect and complacency are hidden enemies that rob believers of their destiny. Drawing from Matthew 24, Jesus’ comparison of His return to the days of Noah underscores how people will be consumed with daily life, unprepared for sudden judgment. Using personal reflections from officiating funerals, the message illustrates how easily life can pass by without fulfilling God’s call. The parable of the talents (Matthew 25) is then explored to stress that believers will be judged not by what they started with, but by their faithfulness in multiplying what was entrusted to them. While the faithful receive eternal rewards, the fearful and unfruitful are rebuked as “wicked and lazy,” showing that even believers can face discipline if they fail to act on God’s gifts. Fear, torment, and complacency are depicted as forces God uses to strip away self-sufficiency and perfect His children in love. Jesus’ expectation at His return is for His followers to watch—to live with expectation, readiness, and devotion. Watching means not treating His coming casually but preparing both ourselves and others, feeding His sheep with God’s Word. The teaching closes by urging believers to transcend earthly living by uniting their lives with Christ’s, shining their light through faith, love, and active witness, so that when He comes, they will joyfully enter into His eternal joy. Inspired Teaching: Matthew 24:37 “But as the days of Noah were, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be.” If there is a mortal enemy to man of whom man is not aware of, it would have to be Neglect; and if that enemy had a partner in crime, it would have to be Complacency; and if they were headlining a Hollywood movie the title would be The Twin Killers. Someone once said that the road to hell is paved with good intentions. After officiating at a gravesite funeral for a deceased person that I did not know, as I walked by the grave markers I wondered how many of those buried there had died before fulfilling what God had destined them to be while on this earth. I guess what prompted my query was the fact that there were only a handful of people there as they laid her to rest, and I did not have much of a clue as to the life history of the elderly person we had just buried. Out of all the funerals that I officiated, that particular one always reminds me of the rapture for some reason. For as I was walking by the many gravesites the Lord revealed to me the reality of how many of us while on this earth neglect our fiduciary duties to life and become complacent about our many responsibilities to the Creator. Matthew 24:38-39 “For as in the days before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, and did not know until the flood came and took them all away, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be.” In life we quickly learn that our actions always incur reactions, but the one lesson that it is harder to learn is that our inactions also have reactions, and usually they are unwanted negative reactions, but many a times we come to that realization just a little too late. Jesus makes very clear in His teachings that life is full of uncertainties. But the one area of life that I want to focus on today is in our responsibility before Him at His soon return. What does Jesus expect from us at His return? Matthew 25:14 “For the kingdom of heaven is like a man traveling to a far country, who called his own servants and delivered his goods to them.” In the parable of the talents Jesus is clearly teaching about the responsibilities of those who have been saved and gifted with God’s many goods and their having to give an accounting before the Master upon His return. In the parable Jesus puts the emphasis in the multiplication of the talents and not on how many talents each of the servants were given originally. For those who multiplied their talents received the same reward regardless of how many talents they started with. Matthew 25:21, 23 “His lord said to him (the one who had received five talents), ‘Well done, good and faithful servant; you were faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things. Enter into the joy of your lord’...His lord said to him (the one who had received two talents), ‘Well done, good and faithful servant; you have been faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things. Enter into the joy of your lord.’” The only difference between the two is that the ones that were faithful are the ones that had been dead and were bodily resurrected at our Lord’s return, and the ones that have been faithful are the ones that are alive and rapture when our Lord returns, for they are still in the salvation process. But look at the fate of the one who failed to multiply, or at least increase the talent that he was given, for it was a horrible fate. Matthew 25:25-27 “‘And I was afraid, and went and hid your talent in the ground. Look, there you have what is yours.’ But his lord answered and said to him, ‘You wicked and lazy servant, you knew that I reap where I have not sown, and gather where I have not scattered seed. So you ought to have deposited my money with the bankers, and at my coming I would have received back my own with interest.’” Jesus uses currency as an example for the lives of those who are His, remember how the parable began? The master called his own servants and delivered his goods to them, so that Jesus is not dealing here with unbelievers, but rather He is dealing with the believers at His return. Now the word wicked that Jesus uses for the servant that failed the master when He called him you wicked and lazy servant, is the same that He used earlier in reference to a believer that failed to forgive. Matthew 18:32-34 “Then his master, after he had called him, said to him, ‘You wicked servant! I forgave you all that debt because you begged me. Should you not also have had compassion on your fellow servant, just as I had pity on you?’ And his master was angry, and delivered him to the torturers until he should pay all that was due to him.” Who are the torturers? The demons of fear and torment. 1 John 4:18 “There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love.” What was it that Jesus told us that the wicked servant first said to the master? And I was afraid, and went and hid your talent in the ground. This may come as a shock to some, but not all believers will be rapture! They will all be saved but not all will be taken up to be with Jesus when He first returns, some believers, if not many, will be turned over to the tormenting demons that will be released during the first five months of the Wrath of God upon the earth. Psalm 78:49 “He unleashed against them his hot anger, his wrath, indignation and hostility—a band of destroying angels.” So that in both cases, the servant that refused to forgive as he had been forgiven and the one who feared being accountable to the Master, neither of them had been made perfect in love, so that fear and torment will be the catalysts that God uses to perfect them into the kingdom. Fear and Torment will drive Neglect and Complacency out of the believers that refuse to be perfected in love! What is it then that Jesus expects from us at His return? Matthew 25:13 “Watch therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour in which the Son of Man is coming.” What does it mean to watch? I think it has to do with expectation; what are your expectations of Jesus as He returns? Is He coming to save you, or is He coming to judge you? What will His return be like? If you are complacent and neglectful about someone’s imminent visit, it would seem that you really do not care much about them. Your attitude may be that of, Well if I am not home when they happen to come, too bad. If the house is a mess when they come, who cares. That type of attitude implies that you own the house and that He is only a visitor, but if you are a believer you need to realize that He owns you and that He has invested into your life the gift of His life. He is not coming back to sit down and chit chat with you, He is coming back to claim the rewards from the gifts that He has invested in you and in your life. Matthew 5:16 “Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.” Let me ask you this, if I may; Does your life transcend this life? Matthew 16:25 “For whosoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it.” What light am I suppose to shine? What does it mean to lose our lives for His sake? What is transcendence? Jesus invested His life into our lives so that our lives can transcend and become one with His life. And just like He gave up His natural life to obtain a higher physical/spiritual eternal life, so must we. There is no hope in this life of death outside of the resurrection from the dead into eternal physical and spiritual life. Now if the return of Christ completes the natural life that is totally surrendered to Him, a life that is dead to the things of this world and alive in the hope of the resurrection from the dead, then His return is the most important event in all of life, and just a hint that it may be nearer should cause us to focus more closely into His possible return in our day. What is the engine that drives you? What are the predominant thoughts that preoccupy your mind as you fall asleep every night? Do you think about those love ones that may not be ready when our Lord returns? Are you planning your strategy for when the skies turn dark and the unbelievers fear? Are you prepared to tell them that Jesus is coming and that if they call on His name they will be saved? Psalm 116:10 “I believed, therefore I spoke…” A light shines through us as the result of a fire that is burning within us. If the Lord is our passion, if His Word is our compass, and if we make our lives His life, living for that wonderful moment when He appears to take us away with Him that we may be like Him, then we have already transcended this present life and are more than ready to be rescued. John 21:15 “So when they had eaten breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, ‘Simon, son of Jonah, do you love Me more than these?’ He said to Him, ‘Yes, Lord; You know that I love You.’ He said to him, ‘Feed My lambs.’” The only thing outside of our preoccupation with His soon return, should be our preoccupation with feeding His sheep with the sincere milk of the Word of God, preparing them for our Lord’s soon return. Is not the grandeur of our destiny that we should be eager to attain, but rather, in the grandeur of His coming that we should be eager to not only participate, but also to prepare as many as we possible can to participate in it as well? 2 Corinthians 4:11 “For we who live are always delivered to death for Jesus’ sake, that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our mortal flesh.” Previous Next Home

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

PREPARE YOURSELVES FOR THE END IS NEAR The objective of Prepare Yourselves for the End is Near is to exhort believers to sanctify Christ in their hearts, remain steadfast in hope, and prepare spiritually for the imminent return of the Lord. It aims to equip Christians to discern the times, resist worldly deception, and remain faithful witnesses of God’s promises while awaiting the fulfillment of His kingdom. PREPARE YOURSELVES FOR THE END IS NEAR Pastor Marcos Marrero Objective: The objective of Prepare Yourselves for the End is Near is to exhort believers to sanctify Christ in their hearts, remain steadfast in hope, and prepare spiritually for the imminent return of the Lord. It aims to equip Christians to discern the times, resist worldly deception, and remain faithful witnesses of God’s promises while awaiting the fulfillment of His kingdom. Synopsis: This teaching, rooted in 1 Peter 3:15, emphasizes the urgency of preparing for the nearing end of the age by sanctifying the Lord in our hearts and being ready to defend our faith with meekness. The author reflects on prophetic signs and world conditions, highlighting how powerful worldly leaders are preparing for global control rather than God’s kingdom, anticipating opportunities to consolidate power in a one-world government aligned with Revelation’s warnings. The message contrasts the agendas of earthly rulers with the hope of believers, who are not of this world but belong to a heavenly country prepared by God. Christians are called to shift their focus from temporal struggles to eternal promises, holding firm in faith and shining as beacons of truth amid growing lawlessness and deception. Like Noah preparing an ark, believers are urged to prepare their hearts, detach from worldly entrapments, and boldly share the message of salvation with others before judgment falls. Though nations and systems may collapse, the faithful will inherit God’s eternal city, where righteousness and justice reign. The teaching closes with the encouragement of 2 Peter 1:19, reminding believers to cling to the prophetic word as a guiding light until Christ returns. Inspired Teaching: 1 Peter 3:15 “But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts, and always be ready to give a defense to everyone who asks you a reason for the hope that is in you, with meekness and fear.” But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: Prepare a room in your hearts for the Lord, for His return is imminent. As many of you who follow my teachings about the end times know, every year I make an honest assessment of what is going on around the world as to how it fits within the prophetic scenario. I call it an honest assessment because I try very hard not to let my inner desires for the Lord’s return to interfere with the reality of what is transpiring. One of the tools that I use to gauge the prophetic condition of the world is how it prepares itself for what’s coming. I believe that those who are in the know have no doubt that an end is coming. These self-proclaimed guardians of the world, who are very rich and powerful have an invested interest in knowing that which lies ahead, for that is how they have become powerful and wealthy, and it is through foreknowledge of future events that they remain powerful and wealthy. Luke 16:8 “...For the sons of this world are more shrewd in their generation than the sons of light.” They have a lot more to lose. Think of it, we just believe in the Lord and put our trust in His Word and boom, we are gone as soon as He returns, but they get left behind, because they love the world and belong to it. That is the reason why they prepare themselves, they are not planning to leave this world, but rather to rule it. I also believe that they see it as an opportunity if suddenly many of us are removed instantly from this earth in what would be a worldwide population shifting event, for that would create an opening for them to redesign the world government in a way that offers them the abilities of having greater control over the populate and their resources. Although this way of thinking has been around for centuries, we are now living during the technological age that allows them for the first time a real shot at a one world governmental system that could in theory be easily manageable. Revelation 17:12-13 “The ten horns (powers) which you saw are ten kings who have received no kingdom as yet, but they receive authority for one hour as kings with the beast. These are of one mind, and they will give their power and authority to the beast.” John saw how these agents of deceit await for the beast to be revealed to the world so that they can come out of the closet, if you will, and rearrange the world’s governmental structures into ten regions, that are governed by ten leaders, who give all their allegiance to the beast for the purpose of fighting against the Lamb who came and took away His children with Him, to prevent Him from coming back to the earth. A massive data collection complex is being built in Utah, USA, for the purpose of analyzing all of the information that we now know the governments of the world have been gathering for many years now, from people like you and me. Information is power, if you can predict human behavior and how people would react to authoritative change, then you can manipulate their behavior, like cattle driven to the slaughter house. What makes this year so different is that the powers that be are not even trying to hide their agenda from us anymore, that is how close to the end they believe we are, that they can flaunt their manipulative corrupt ways and get away with it without impunity, knowing that the end is near. How do we prepare ourselves against such a power grab? We are not of this world! Let them choke on it. But as Peter said in our opening Scripture: Always be ready to give a defense to everyone who asks you a reason for the hope that is in you. We need to prepare our hearts and fill them with God’s promises to us so that we faint not in these last hours before our redemption takes place. If we are not of this world, then where do we belong? Hebrews 11:16 “But now they desire a better, that is, a heavenly country. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God, for He has prepared a city for them.” We cannot change the destiny of the nations, nor can we stop the coming judgment of God upon an unbelieving world, but we can take encouragement in the fact that we belong to a heavenly country which they can never pervert, for righteousness and justice is the foundation of God’s throne, so we may lose our country here to godless unbelievers, but only to gain a heavenly city that God has prepared for those of us who love Him. 1 Corinthians 2:9 “But as it is written: ‘Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor have entered into the heart of man the things which God has prepared for those who love Him.’” The hardest thing for me to understand is the reality that there are people who know that all these things are coming and instead of preparing themselves to become part of the kingdom of light once our Lord is revealed, they think somehow in the futility of their minds, that they can overthrow God and His kingdom and usurp the earth that the Lord created for the delight of His children who love Him. Our next Scripture sheds light into how this is possible. Romans 9:22-24 “What if God, wanting to show His wrath and to make His power known, endured with much longsuffering the vessels of wrath prepared for destruction, and that He might make known the riches of His glory on the vessels of mercy, which He had prepared beforehand for glory, even us whom He called, not of the Jews only, but also of the Gentiles?” Truth is the antidote for the deception that is being perpetrated right now upon the unbelieving world, we need to know, (make room) deep within our hearts that the end of this age is about to close, and with this in mind we need to prepare ourselves by changing our way of thinking from that of this present age, and begin to put our focus upon the age to come, we do this by disassociating ourselves from the entrapments that this world has to offer, through its lusts and passions, and its for’s and against’. Do not misunderstand me, we need to occupy and to do so fervently, and so we continue to expose their corruption, but we only occupy until He comes, and then we need to be ready to let go in an instant. And with this in mind we also need to make as many converts as possible, those who laughed at our past warnings, who are now witnessing the progression of lawlessness as it becomes exposed, need to know that there is a way out, for salvation is of the Lord. Hebrews 11:7 “By faith Noah, being divinely warned of things not yet seen, moved with godly fear, prepared an ark for the saving of his household, by which he condemned the world and became heir of the righteousness which is according to faith.” If our mindset is corralled by our inabilities to change our present condition, then we become hopeless, for nothing that is going on in our present social evolving, is good for us the children of faith. But if our mindset is one of remaining unapologetically faithful to our Lord’s promises, as a beacon to the disillusioned masses, our uncompromising will be rewarded, for the Light of God’s truth will finally shine on those who waver with unbelief, if we faint not. 2 Peter 1:19 “And so we have the prophetic word confirmed, which you do well to heed as a light that shines in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts.” Previous Next Home
