CONCERNING SPIRITUAL GIFTS Written Teaching Pastor Marcos Marrero April 18, 2008 Objective The purpose of this teaching is to help believers understand the true context and purpose of spiritual gifts. By examining 1 Corinthians 10–12, the message emphasizes that gifts are not isolated abilities but are rooted in fellowship with Christ and proper spiritual authority. The teaching aims to show how spiritual gifts deliver us from the influence of idols and demonic wisdom, positioning us rightly in the body of Christ so that each member functions effectively in unity under the headship of Jesus. Synopsis This message begins with prayer and thanksgiving for God’s presence and guidance, then moves into Paul’s instructions in 1 Corinthians 12:1: “Now concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I do not want you to be ignorant.” The teaching places this verse in the broader context of 1 Corinthians 10 and 11, which highlight two foundational truths: fellowship with Christ (communion) and proper alignment under spiritual authority. The message explains that spiritual gifts flow from this fellowship, placing believers in their unique positions within the body of Christ. Just as seating arrangements at a banquet reflected status in ancient customs, so too does our place in Christ give us authority and responsibility. Unlike worldly systems that exalt power and pride, the kingdom of God exalts humility—God resists the proud but lifts up the humble. Drawing on passages from James 3 and Psalm 115, the teaching contrasts the influence of demonic, sensual wisdom with the life-giving wisdom from above. Before salvation, believers were bound by “dumb idols” that dulled spiritual senses, leaving them unable to see, hear, or discern the things of God. Spiritual gifts, therefore, serve as God’s tools to free His people from these former influences and to equip them for service. The gifts are not given for self-exaltation but for building up the body, ensuring that each member—whether seen or unseen—functions in harmony. The message stresses that communion with Christ must not be taken lightly; failure to discern His body leads to weakness, sickness, or even death among believers. Conversely, rightly partaking of Christ’s fellowship brings healing, authority, and the power to overcome. Ultimately, the teaching shows that spiritual gifts are God’s weapons of deliverance, empowering His people to walk in their rightful position of fellowship and authority, and to minister under the guidance of the Holy Spirit for the edification of the entire body of Christ.

Concerning spiritual gift and it's our scriptures in 1 Corinthians chapter 12. And I was reading um the other morning sitting in Riverside there in my car while waiting and I opened to this chapter and the Lord gave me a neat revelation and it says in um 1 Corinthians 12 verse1 it says now concerning spiritual gift brethren I do not want you to be ignorant and then immediately was like the Lord uh just brought the revelation to my mind that um uh spiritual gift have a purpose and the purpose has to do what he has been talking about. In other words, when he said concerning spiritual gift, I do not want you to be ignorant. And if you look back to take into context uh as the Lord showed me in um uh for example in in first Corinthians um uh chapter 11, he's talking about spiritual authority. In in verse two, he said, "But I want you to know that the head of every man is Christ." And then he's talking about the man being the head of the woman, Christ being the head of the man, God being the head of Christ. So he's talking about spiritual authority. He's talking about uh the dangers of praying or ministering outside of the right proper spiritual authority. That's what he's talking about there. In other words, he's saying uh uh that when things kind of get out of line, uh we're not functioning under the proper anointing or under the proper covering. And if you go back even farther to put into context what he's talking about, he's talking about um he's talking about communion, having fellowship with God. For example, in 1 Corinthians 10 um verse 16, it says, "The cup of blessing which we bless is it not the communion of the blood of Christ, the bread which we break, is it not the communion of the body of Christ." So there's an understanding to be had here that when he says in in in 1 Corinthians chapter 12 verse 1 when he says concerning now spiritual gift brethren I do not want you to be ignorant he's taking into context two very major points that he just made in chapters 10 and chapter 11. In chapter 10, he's making the point that we as believers because of the blood of Jesus Christ, we have fellowship. You see, and as believers, we also are placed in a position of authority. Now, let's take this back to the time of of the apostles and so that we can grasp and understand. Remember how Sebedes, the sons of Zebedee, Zebedee's wife, the mother of John and Andrew, came to Jesus and said, "Jesus, when you come into the kingdom, why don't you let uh my uh my son sit at your right hand and at your left hand in your throne to rule." And then there's another occasion when Jesus comes in and says, "Listen, when you're invited to a feast, don't seek to sit closer to the head of the table to the master because he may come in and somebody more important than you may come in and he'll pluck you out of your chair and put that other person." He says, "Sit where the most humble people sit and then the master will see you and then he will sit you up." What he's talking about, he's talking about a custom. A custom in those day is fellowship. When you're in fellowship, the position that you sit in that place of fellowship determines what your ranking is. In other words, the higher ranking you are in that fellowship, the closer to the master you sit. The lower in ranking, the farther you are. Now, I want you to take these two principles here because this is what Paul is talking about. chapter 10 and chapter 11. In chapter 10, he says, "Hey, we're seated now with Christ in the heavenly places because we have fellowship with him." In other words, Jesus said, "Do this in remembrance of me." When we partake of communion, we are recognizing the fact that we are part of the body of Christ. Jesus sits at the head of the table like he did during the communion and the different disciples sit next to him on their positions that are given to him. So the fact that we are now part of the body of Christ places us in a position of authority with Christ. That's what it's talking about. 1 Corinthians chapter 10 1 Corinthians 11 is talking about fellowship and authority. That's what it's talking about. So when in 1 Corinthians 12:1 he says, "Now concerning spiritual gifts, I do not want you to be ignorant." We need to place it within the context is that in fellowship with Christ, we have position and we have ranking. Okay, we need to understand this because this is the whole framework of the gift. This is how they operate. As a matter of fact, if you read farther down, where we're not going to get to tonight, in in 1 Corinthians chapter 12, uh he makes the very statement that in Christ, we're all like part of a body. In other words, we're not all an eye. We're not all an ear. But imagine if you put the eye on the knee, you would have a hard time praying, getting in your knees to pray because your eyes can't handle that. So he is talking about here that no matter what position you have in the body, whatever position has been given to you, whether you're a male or a female as he's using it in in in in 11 when he talking about that the woman not to pray with her head on cover. And when he's talking about that a man cannot pray with his head uncovered, meaning that Christ is his head. And if he's going to do spiritual warfare, he better have Christ as his covering, just like a woman needs to have her husband as a covering or her pastor, he's talking about a position in Christ, a fellowship with him. And then he's talking about not only a position of authority, h a position that brings us to a place of authority. In other words, whether you're the little toe, whether you're the nail, whether you're the eye, whether you're the ear, it does not matter. You fit into that pattern. And to men, now remember, they asked Jesus right in the context of when uh Zebed's uh wife uh wanted one of her sons sitting at his right hand and as his left hand. Jesus says the kingdom of God is not like the gentile world. In the gentile world, you lorded over people. He said, you know, the one with the most drive, the one that can bribe more people or convince more people or lead more people, he takes a head seat. He said, no, in the kingdom of God, the more humble person a person is, the more he to be exalted. In other words, you want to be great in the kingdom of God, be a servant of them all. Now, why is that? Because God governs and rules through principles, spiritual principles. Just like gravity. If gravity was taken right now, we all go floating. And if we don't have nothing to grab on to, man, we're in trouble because we're just out there in space doing nothing. God works always through laws which are called spiritual principle. And God has a very simple spiritual principle which he governs everything by. He says that God resists the proud but yet he exalts the humble. So you want to be great in the kingdom of God, be humble. And God is going to come to your little seat where you're at and going to move you to a higher position of authority because why? Because he has to obey. He governs by the rules that he made. And that's the rule that he made. The humble he lifts up. And now the one that exalts himself, what is it? That God resists the proud. So we need to understand then that in 1 Corinthians chapter 12 when we read verse one when Paul says now brethren concerning spiritual gifts I do not want you to be ignorant. We need to take that into the context that Paul is speaking about as believers. We have fellowship with Christ. And because we have fellowship with Christ within the structure of the fellowship we are given a position. we are given a position of authority. That's what he's talking about in in in chapter 11 being in the right under the proper government uh government ruling uh spiritual ruling of God. So the spiritual gift have to do with placing us in the proper place of fellowship with God and in the proper place of authority with God. So if we start with that then we're going to be able to understand what it's talking about. Now I want you to read. We're going to read verse one and verse two. 1 Corinthians 12. He says, "Now concerning spiritual gift, brethren, I do not want you to be ignorant." Verse two, "You know that you were Gentiles carried away to these dumb idols, however you were led." Now Paul very purposely puts the word there d them. He's not putting down on an on idols. He is trying to bring a very very important point. And what he's saying over here is that when we were gentiles and the problem with the word gentile that's become a fancy word. Oh we're all gentiles. The word gentiles mean pagan means idoltor means an idol worshipper. That's what the word pagan means. It means that hey, when you were an idoltor, when you were a pagan, when you were in the world, before you came into the fellowship that you are now in with Christ, and before you came into the position in which God has placed you, you had an authority and you had a position because you were influenced. You were led by idols. You see, so the spiritual gift are designed to take as if it were our nature or carnality or the position that was given to us by these dumb idols by our pagan ways of walking and placing us within the proper framework and context of the purpose and plan that God has for us. That's what he's saying concerning spiritual gifts. Brethren, I do not want you to be ignorant. You need to understand that now that you're a believer, you're in Christ. You have fellowship with God in the house of God. There is a seat. There is a spot that is reserved for you on that. You occupy a place of authority. And when you're part of the body and you're exercising your full authority within your context of the place of authority, you're making the body work. Hallelujah. You're making the body work. Things are happening. But when you're not within your position and within the realm of your authority, you're hindering. And that's why we need the gift. The gifts are there to place us in the proper place. That's what he's talking about. Now first of all we need to understand that as Gentiles or pagans all of our ways that means the way we think was influenced by demonic stuff. Now I don't have it there in the notes but u uh uh I need you to to see this. I was thinking today as I was meditating is in James and I think it's chapter 3. Uh James chapter 3 if I can find James. Where are you James? There you go. I'm already there. James 3. And I spoke this many times is James 3 verse 12. Let's begin there. It says, "Can a fig tree, my brethren, bear olives, or a grape vine bear figs? Does no spring yield both salt water and fresh?" Believe it or not, this is the context into which Paul is talking about. We're going to read a scripture later to where it says, "Are you trying to make God jealous because you're partaking of the table of demons and you're partaking of the table of God?" So the context here is that now that we are situated or positioned in Christ, we need to assume or fulfill the responsibility of that office that has been given to us. And then he says um in verse 13 James 3:13 say who is wise and understanding among you. Remember I don't want you to be ignorant brethren. That's what 121 says. I don't want you concerning spiritual gifts. I do not want you to be ignorant. who is wise and under standing among you. Let him show by the conduct that his works are done in the meekness of wisdom. Remember wisdom is a spirit. He said, "But if you have bitter envy and self-seeking in your hearts, do not boast and lie against the truth because this wisdom or this spirit, this influence does not descend from above, but is earthly, is sensual, and is demonic." And I want you to to underline those two words, sensual and demonic. And then he says, "For where there's envy, self-seeking, there's confusion, and all kinds of evil are there." And then he contrasts that by the wisdom that come from above, he says, "But the wisdom that is from above is first of all pure, peaceable, gentle, willing to yield and and all kinds of things." So I want you to see that what Paul is trying to deal with here is our carnality versus our spiritual position in fellowship and authority with Christ. Our carnality, the influences of the flesh are going to be in contrast with the position that we are in Christ in our fellowship with him and the authority that has been vested upon us as Christian. And so that if we don't see that the spiritual gift are tools that God has made available to pull us out or remove us from under the influence of the wisdom of this world which is demonic then we cannot come into the fullness of our position and fellowship that we have with Christ. This is why so many Christians fail. Now I want to take you in a journey as to why pagan when we were pagans that's before we were saved when we were pagan how much influence that demonic structure of this world that wisdom that we just read the self-seeking and sensual how detrimental that was to us because that DNA is deeply engraed saved in our human nature and that's what the gifts are for to remove that. Let's go first to Psalm 115 and let's read verses 2-8. Psalm 115 verses 2-8. He says, "Why should the Gentiles say, so where is their God?" Now notice he begins with a question. Why do do pagans say where is their God? How many of you know that now that's what the world says to Christians? Where is your God? How come you're dying of cancer the same way everybody else has got cancer? You're getting divorced the same way everybody gets divorced. you know, you're having to do the same things that we're having to do. So, where is your God? Now, watch what he says. He says, "But our God is in heaven, and he does whatever he pleases." Now, the pagans, verse four, their idols are silver and gold, the work of man's hands. And this is what I want you to see. This is very important. The idols, the works of manham, they have mouth but they do not speak. Eyes they have but they do not see. They have ears but they do not hear. Noses they have but they do not smell. They have hands but they do not handle. Feet they have but they do not walk. Nor do they mutter through their thro. And here's the kicker. Those who make them are like them, and so is everyone who trusts in them. Now, if you didn't catch it, he was talking about the five senses. He says they have eyes, they do not see, they have ears, they do not hear, they have noses, they cannot smell, they have mouth, they cannot taste, they have hands, they have feet, they can't do anything. And it says that those who make him, which is the wisdom of this world, the selfseeking that is embedded in all of us, we were under that influence as Gentiles, as pagans becau before we came into the commonwealth of Israel, which is the promise of God of Abraham according to the spirit where he said, "Your seed shall be like the stars of the heaven." That inheritance that we have before we enter into it, that's what we were under. We were this is so are the ones who make him and the ones who worship that lifestyle they become like them. Imagine that. What does it mean to become like an idol? It means you cannot hear the spirit of God. Means you cannot see the reality of spiritual things. Means you cannot does the Bible say come and taste and see that the that the Lord is good. You cannot taste the word of God. You speak it but it's not food. There's it's like eating cardboard, dry box, something like that. Why? The reason is because of the fact that idols are designed to keep men bound so that they cannot hear the spirit of God and be set free. Remember what Jesus said, lest they hear and be healed lest they hear. Isaiah says, you know, they they they hear uh they have ears, but they cannot hear. And and then he says, and and and unless they hear and be healed. So, we're talking about coming into the inheritance of God. But it says that we inherited all of that. You see, before I was born again, I could read the Bible and I could say, "Man, no wonder the world is so messed up." All you could see when I was reading in the Bible was wars and killings and murders and everything else. You see, my spirit was shut up. Could not see, could not hear, could not taste, could not smell. It wasn't until I experienced a rebirth. Born again, born of the spirit where that dumb idol. That's why Paul calls it the no matter why dumb. Because you don't hear and you don't speak, you're called dumb. That's why he called them. They don't have the ability to speak or to hear. We were led when we were pagans by dom idols. And these do idols kept us boxed in to where we could not see the fellowship the the seed of fellowship that we have with Christ. And we cannot understand the authority that comes with a sitting that we're now seated with Christ. That means that we need to be delivered. We need to be delivered. We need to be delivered from ears that cannot hear. We need to be delivered from eyes that cannot see. Have you ever been around a person that is negative all the time and and in every situation they see the worst and and and you're not involved in it and and immediately you perceive man that person will be so negative. He could see the blessing right there. Their attitude is what keeping them. I mean the person might be dying to hire them but they're doing everything in the world to keep the guy from hiring because of the attitude. You cannot see things like that and that's what he's talking about. So then what first Corinthians chapter 12 what he's talking about he's about God has made available for us spiritual gift because he said brethren concerning spiritual gift I do not want you to be ignorant those spiritual gift has been given to us for a purpose and the purpose is to deliver us from the demonic influences. that we have inherited from our old lifestyle when we were pagans. As a matter of fact, there's another scripture that I want to bring it more at home. And it's right there in 1 Corinthians chapter 10. If you're still in in 1 Corinthians 12, just back up just a little bit so that you can see that all of these things that Paul is doing, he's he's he's they're all chapter 10, chapter 11, they're all talking about. Look at ch 1 Corinthians chapter 10 uh verses 19 and 20. Look what Paul says what I am saying then that an idol is anything or what is offered to idols is anything. He's asking the question, but look what he says. The statement that he makes in 1 Corinthians 10:20. Rather, the things with the Gentiles or the pagans sacrifice, they sacrifice to demons and not to God. And because of that, Paul says to us, those who are believers, no, and I do not want you to have fellowship with demons. because you cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons. So he's saying as a believer now you cannot remain in your old lifestyle. You have been given a seat of fellowship at the Lord's table which is his body, the church. That's what 1 Corinthians 12, if you read it, he says uh uh this gift are given for the profit of all and we're like a body. There's just one head. See, a lot of people say, well, uh, uh, you know, to justify their stronghold in a church or in a group or fellowship, anything with more than one head is a monster, they say. And I agree with that. Jesus is the head. That's what they don't understand. They're not. Jesus is the only head and Jesus operates through the full body. Any healthy church will have different people manifesting and and and ministry through different gifts. As a matter of fact, you read 1 Corinthians 13, it it says there are many gifts, but there's one spirit. There's the same Holy Spirit. He works. And you know, the Holy Spirit loves working through multiplicity of people. Get a group and begin to minister and you'll see that he the Holy Spirit will jump from one person to the other one to the other one to the other. Why? Because God operates in principles. And what is another principle that God tries to keep us from? Pride comes before the fall. And God knows in our human nature, we're very much prone to pride. So if the Holy Spirit does everything through you and you become the big head, pretty soon you're going to fall over. So the Holy Spirit will just use you for for a part and then he'll move to somebody else. And then you said, "Wow, I can't believe the Lord gave him that." And the other person say, "Look at you. I can't believe the Lord gave him that." But the thing is the two parts work together and bring the deliverance to the to to the thing that you need. And so what? Nobody gets full up because everybody said, "Man, if pray had not been here, that would not happen or if this had not happened." So So the Holy Spirit loves working like that. So he says in 1 Corinthians 12, if you read part of there are many gift but one spirit. But then he goes on to say there are different ministries but just one Lord. I don't care whether you're a pastor or a prophet or whether you're an evangelist or whether you're a teacher or whether you're an apostle, whoever you are, Jesus still is ahead. Why? Because he is the chief cornerstone. He's the head of the church. He is he he he he occupies every main office of the church. He occupies he's king. He's high priest. He's prophet. He's the apostle of our faith. Everything that has a title that governs and rules the body, the church is Jesus. All of us are just somewhere in there. And it's amazing that when h as 70 son's mother asked Jesus, he says those position are reserved by God as to who sits to his right hand and to his left hand. Only God has got those position. And you know what? When we get to heaven and we see those seated up there, I can guarantee you we never heard of them. We never knew them. There's some place some place to where and they suffer endure and whatever God knows the heart. He says whatever you do in secret will be rewarded in public. So then in 1 Corinthians chapter 12, what Paul is talking about when he says, "Now, brethren, concerning spiritual gift, I do not want you to be ignorant." And it's not to be ignorant of the fact that we have fellowship through our communion with Jesus Christ. And because we're in that fellowship, we have been given a position of authority, a seat. See, when you're going to uh the feast, everybody sits at a special place. We all sit at a special place. And that sit is reserved for just us. And he says, "And I want you to understand this." And I also want you to understand that when you were pagan, you were led by do idols that blocked your ability to hear, that blocked your ability to see, that blocked your ability to smell and taste and touch. And so because of that, you need deliverance in some of these areas so that you can be set free. And if you're not set free and you say, "Hey, I don't need it." Then you're going to have a problem. And the problem is in the scripture uh before us. Uh look at 1 Corinthians uh 11 verse 27-30. In 1 Corinthians 11:27-30, talking about our fellowship and and what we're commanded to do, the communion, he says, "Therefore, whoever eats this bread or drinks this cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty of the body and the blood of the Lord." Now, it says that there's a proper way to take it in and there's a proper way and and and and and a a profane way of doing it. Verse 18, but let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of the bread, partake of the word of God, and drink of the cup, the blood that Jesus shed for us. For he who eats and drinks in an unworthy manner eats and drinks judgment to himself, not discerning the Lord's body. And then look what it says in verse 30. For this reason, what is he talking about? What is he talking about? For this reason, because of failure to understand the our nature that is corrupted, for this reason many of you are weak and sick among you and many have died. So meaning that in the Lord in our table of fellowship that we have with the Lord, the bread is for the healing and the blood is for forgiveness. I don't care what illness any Christian has, he has a right to come to the table of the Lord. Look at uh Psalm 23. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemy. this table, that bread of healing is the bread, the body of Christ. It says Peter quoting uh Isaiah says by the stripes of Jesus, you were healed. When we partake of the bread, it's not necessarily the communion that can happen on the communion, but when we take the word of God that says, "I am the Lord that heals you." And we're facing cancer or we're facing some kind of destructive disease and we can partake of that word. With eyes that see, hallelujah, with ears that hear, with the ability to taste and see that the Lord is good, the smell of the blood of Jesus that was shed for us, we're able to touch the hymn of his garment and immediately were healed. But he says many of you because you're failing to understand that your position of authority and fellowship in Christ cannot be handled in the natural way. You see cannot be handled in the natural rational way of thinking. This is the mistake that most Christians make. Their ministry is based on the human senses. That's what James 3 said. He says the wisdom that comes from here is is it is it it is demonic. It is sensual. It is based on the senses. It's based on what you see and what you hear. And the Bible tells us uh uh not to lean into our own understanding. That there's a way that seemed right to a man and that the end is destruction. So then what Paul is saying before you can handle your position of fellowship and authority you better understand what the spiritual gifts are there for because the spiritual gift concerning spiritual gift is what's going to set you free. Now look at verse three. This this can trouble many people for a long time. 1 Corinthians 12:3 in first he says now concerning spiritual gift verse one brethren I do not want you to be ignorant verse two you know that when you were pagans you were carried away to these dumb idols wherever you were led therefore I make known to you and you have to make sure you you pay attention here I make known to you that no one speaking by the spirit Spirit of God calls Jesus a curse and no one can say that Jesus is Lord except by the Holy Spirit. Now that doesn't seem to make sense, does it? It is in a place there and it's standing all by itself and you say, "Man, what is that all about?" Well, that confirmed the scripture that I read to you in James chapter 3 where it says that there's two wisdoms. There's a wisdom that comes from above, peaceful, pure, and then there's a wisdom that come from this world which is based on sensual and demonic. That means that there are only two fountains. That means that there are only two wells. That means that there are only two sources. This is what it's talking about. And when we were pagans, guess what source we were drinking and flowing out of? Idolatry. And guess what? That idolatry brought dumb. Can see, can hear, can smell, can taste, can touch. You see? And so now he's saying here that you cannot say that Jesus Christ is Lord unless the spirit of God is saying that through you. And you cannot say Jesus occurs if you're born again because you see only the pagans can say that because the spirit of God is in you will not allow you to say anything bad about Jesus because the spirit testified about Jesus. That's all he does. He's here for the purpose of Jesus. The spirit of God will never ever put in a Christian to say something bad about Jesus. Never. It can't. the spirit of God and in the same way in our own nature we can never say Jesus is Lord unless the spirit of God truth you see we we were dumb our eyes our ears everything was blocked we could not see we could not hear it took the spirit of God to connect us see when Jesus send the disciples and gave him power they came back what Lord we spoke in your name and demons went out said don't rejoice in that rejoice that you had the password to heaven Yeah. And it's your name. Your name is written in heaven. When you say in the name of Jesus, your voice registers in heaven and immediately shows that's Marcos. Whoever it is you're born again, your name is in is written in the register just like a computer. Just type in your password and guess what? If you're not connected, you're not going to get in. Okay? You got to be signed up. You got to have a password. Your name is your password. You cannot say Jesus is Lord unless the spirit of God is in you. That's why he said rejoice that your name is written in heaven. That when you pray by the power of the Holy Spirit immediately it is answered. But now remember Jesus speaking about this he says my sheep know my voice. said, "But there are thieves that tried to come in through through the fence or through the back door, but they're not allowed in." See, here on earth, you can do that. You can fool a lot of people. You know, you wear the right clothes, say the right things and everything, and man, you can build a a great following. But that doesn't fool God. You see, you you cannot say Jesus is Lord. And and since we're dealing with demons because you see super personally sick, you know, and you can talk a good talk and play a good game and you can preach a great service, you say in the name of Jesus, if the spirit of God is not ended, that demon is just sitting over there laughing at you eating popcorn or lighting up one or whatever it is they do. You have no authority. You have no power. You see, the only power that we have is the gift that God gives us. Because the gifts are the tools. are the weapons. The gift concerning spiritual gift are the weapons that God gives us to defeat or destroy the power of these things that work with us. And so what he's saying here is in the spirit realm, in the natural you can fool a lot of people, but in the spiritual realm you're either connected to one or the other source. You're either connected to the wisdom that comes from above. Your name is written in heaven. When you speak, there's authority in your voice and demons have to obey. Or you just pulling a game and you're doing, you know what the thing does? You're you're you're in for self-seeking. You know, you just heard of this this pastor that just retired and the church is building him a $10 million church, a 10,000 um uh uh square feet living and stuff like that. And yet all of the years he's been preaching about the poor, all of the poor people and and and how does that um and and and you know, but people can't see nothing wrong with that. And then you know, and you see that in how many other congregations, people that have, you know, mega mega churches and have this uh big big mansions and all that stuff. You never see Jesus do that because when he said he cared about the poor, he really cared about the poor. He says the son of man doesn't have a nest for the birds have nest for he said son of man doesn't have a house doesn't have a place he has one goal and the goal is deliver the people the the people that are bound he saw the people like sheep without a shepherd who were hassle and and being destroyed by by the enemy. So then we get to the point now to where he says that there are diversity of gifts. Now we can understand how these gifts work. If you break them down and you have them there in your note, three of the gifts are called Ottoman's gift. And it is so important because the idols that we were under were dumb. They cannot speak. Okay. Order and gift. The every time you read in the book of Acts that the Holy Spirit fell on people, the first manifestation that came out of the people is they began to speak in other tongues. Now, why why is that? Why? Why is it that all of the sudden the Holy Spirit brought a prompting within the people to prophesy and to speak because before that you couldn't. It's just that simple. See, you were connected to a dead socket. It looked like a real one and everything and you were plugged in, but there was no juice flowing from there. You could not see, you could not hear, you could not smell, you could not taste. When you were plugged into the spirit of God, guess what? The light came on. Your mouth moved. You were able to speak Home Watch the Video Teaching

OPERATING IN THE MOTIVATIONAL GIFTS OF THE SPIRIT Written Teaching Minister Lisa Kane October 15, 2025 Objective The objective of this lesson is to help believers understand the motivational gifts as a divine calling empowered by love and the Holy Spirit. Through Scripture, this lesson will reveal how the gifts of the spirit flows from a pure heart, guided by the fruit of the Spirit, and distinguished from fleshly or self-driven knowledge. Believers will learn to discern between being inspired by the Spirit of God and that which is motivated by pride or worldly intellect, growing in wisdom to receive and share the Word of God in love. Synopsis This lesson examines the motivational gifts as described by the Apostle Paul in 1 Corinthians 12:28-31. It emphasizes that these gifts must be rooted in love—the “more excellent way” introduced in 1 Corinthians 13—for without love, even knowledge becomes empty noise. Minister Lisa Kane guides believers to discern whether someone or something is led by the Holy Spirit or by the flesh, using 1 Timothy 1:3-7 and Galatians 5:22-25 to contrast being born of love or driven by arrogance or self-interest. By exploring Scriptures such as 1 Corinthians 2:10-16 and 2 Timothy 3:14-17, this message reveals that walking in the motivational gifts brings godly edification, produces spiritual fruit, and equips believers for every good work. Through the Spirit, these gifts illuminate the deep things of God, leading others beyond intellectual understanding into revelation knowledge. The lesson concludes by showing that when believers walk in the Spirit—manifesting love, joy, peace, patience, and gentleness—their presence becomes a vessel through which others are inspired to live, learn, and walk in the Spirit as well. Written and/or Transcribed Teaching from Video 1 Corinthians 12:28-31 NKJV 28 And God has appointed these in the church: first apostles, second prophets, third teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, administrations, varieties of tongues. 29 Are all apostles? Are all prophets? Are all teachers? Are all workers of miracles? 30 Do all have gifts of healings? Do all speak with tongues? Do all interpret? 31 But earnestly desire the [i]best gifts. And yet I show you a more excellent way. Paul didn’t stop there. If you continue into 1 Corinthians 13, you will see what is needed to work in these motivational gifts. Remember, chapters and verses weren’t there when Paul originally wrote these epistles. 1 Corinthians 13:1-2 NKJV Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal. 2 And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. 1 Corinthians 13:13 NKJV 13 And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love. If you are not operating in love, these gifts won’t manifest out of you or they may manifest into false doctrine. 1 Timothy 1:3-7 NKJV 3 As I urged you when I went into Macedonia—remain in Ephesus that you may [a]charge some that they teach no other doctrine, 4 nor give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which cause disputes rather than godly edification which is in faith. 5 Now the purpose of the commandment is love from a pure heart, from a good conscience, and from [b]sincere faith, 6 from which some, having strayed, have turned aside to idle talk, 7 desiring to be teachers of the law, understanding neither what they say nor the things which they affirm. ‘Which causes disputes’: I know many of you know that there are many theologians out there that teach something and use that teaching to point out that someone is not teaching it correctly. That’s pretty arrogant of them, which isn’t love. It’s self-driven motivation. John 14:25-26 NKJV 25 “These things I have spoken to you while being present with you. 26 But the [g]Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you. How many theologians currently discuss end time prophecy or when the rapture will happen ‘pointing out’ that someone has it wrong? That’s not teaching through love or any of the fruit of the spirit. Let’s read and remind ourselves what that fruit is: Galatians 5:22-25 NKJV 22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 [g]gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law. 24 And those who are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. 25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. We need to manifest this fruit in order for people to see us walking in the spirit because you can’t see the spirit but you can see these fruit in action. This leads to the difference in teaching between the law / flesh or in the spirit. 1 Timothy 1:8-11 NKJV 8 But we know that the law is good if one uses it lawfully, 9 knowing this: that the law is not made for a righteous person, but for the lawless and insubordinate, for the ungodly and for sinners, for the unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers, 10 for fornicators, for sodomites, for kidnappers, for liars, for perjurers, and if there is any other thing that is [c]contrary to sound doctrine, 11 according to the glorious gospel of the blessed God which was committed to my trust. Notice the difference. The law does not apply to someone who is righteous. A righteous person already knows what is right and has chosen to walk that way. Whereas, a person who hasn’t made that decision yet, will be contrary and not in the spirit. We the audience, need to hear the Word of God through the spirit and discern if the teacher is teaching through love or not. 1 Corinthians 2:10-16 NKJV 10 But God has revealed them to us through His Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God. 11 For what man knows the things of a man except the spirit of the man which is in him? Even so no one knows the things of God except the Spirit of God. 12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might know the things that have been freely given to us by God. 13 These things we also speak, not in words which man’s wisdom teaches but which the [d]Holy Spirit teaches, comparing spiritual things with spiritual. 14 But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. 15 But he who is spiritual judges all things, yet he himself is rightly judged by no one. 16 For “who has known the mind of the Lord that he may instruct Him?” But we have the mind of Christ. Paul separates the two here in 1 Corinthians chapter 2. When we’re taught the Word of God through love, the holy spirit moves in our hearts and minds to understand the wisdom of God and not the wisdom of the world. Imagine if the doctor tells you there is something wrong with you. What do you do? It seems normal to ask the doctor questions, to obtain a second opinion, to take the medication they give you, but know this, that medicine will only take care of the symptoms not the root cause. But there is a choice here. You can choose to follow the doctors advice or you can go to God and tell Him that they’re telling you this false information but that you don’t accept it. You choose to walk in the spirit when you take this declaration before the Lord. How do you learn this? Through teachers teaching in love the Word of God so that you know the spirit of God. And you can measure this by identifying whether the teacher has the fruit of the spirit in him or her. 2 Timothy 3:14-17 NKJV 14 But you must continue in the things which you have learned and been assured of, knowing from whom you have learned them, 15 and that from childhood you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. 16 All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for [c]instruction in righteousness, 17 that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work. The teacher should be edifying and sharing the Word of God through love…so that you are inspired of God, profitable in biblical doctrine, not man’s doctrine, and walk in righteousness. This will make you complete. Since this is measurable, let’s look at what is not of the spirit so that we can make a distinct difference. Galatians 5:16-21 NKJV 16 I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh. 17 For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, so that you do not do the things that you wish. 18 But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law. 19 Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: [d]adultery, [e]fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, 20 idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, 21 envy, [f]murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God. The main thing to notice about this list is that each of these are self-desired, driven. Now, we can see a distinct difference between walking in the soul, influenced by the flesh verses walking in the spirit. The soul is where we have our thoughts and feelings. It’s who we are, and we measure by what we allow ourselves to be influenced by. For example, our experiences as we grew influences. A person who grew up without a parent will have a different view of God then a person who grew up with both parents. Psalm 139:13-16 NKJV 13 For You formed my inward parts; You [f]covered me in my mother’s womb. 14 I will praise You, for [g]I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Marvelous are Your works, And that my soul knows very well. 15 My [h]frame was not hidden from You, When I was made in secret, And skillfully wrought in the lowest parts of the earth. 16 Your eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed. And in Your book they all were written, The days fashioned for me, When as yet there were none of them. Here, we can see our soul created and that our flesh grows around that soul. God wrote a book about us before even our parents named us because He already saw the soul. As we grew, we allowed the flesh to influence our soul, desires. Our flesh told us when we’re hungry, when we need to sleep, when we go to the bathroom, etc. But the moment we confess Jesus as Lord, we become a believer and our spirit is born again. Romans 10:9 NKJV 9 that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. 1 John 1:9 NKJV 9 If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 1 Timothy 6:11-12 NKJV 11 But you, O man of God, flee these things and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, gentleness. 12 Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, to which you were also called and have confessed the good confession in the presence of many witnesses. John 3:3-8 NKJV 3 Jesus answered and said to him, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born [a]again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.” 4 Nicodemus said to Him, “How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter a second time into his mother’s womb and be born?” 5 Jesus answered, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God. 6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. 7 Do not marvel that I said to you, ‘You must be born again.’ 8 The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear the sound of it, but cannot tell where it comes from and where it goes. So is everyone who is born of the Spirit.” So, by walking in the spirit, we can teach, or use the motivational gifts to motivate and inspire those around us to walk in the spirit too. We can use these visual aids, the fruit of the spirit to see the spirit move in those we listen to and for ourselves to operate in the motivational gifts. Home Watch the Video Teaching

HEAVEN'S THRONE Written Teaching Minister Lisa Kane April 18, 2025 Objective The objective of this teaching is to reveal the significance of God’s heavenly throne as a place of divine covering, authority, and protection. It aims to help believers understand how God has set His throne as the foundation of His dominion, and how this serves as a model for us to establish spiritual coverings in our own lives. The teaching also seeks to encourage believers to walk under God’s protection, to discern truth beyond man-made traditions, and to prepare their hearts for the coming end-time events. Synopsis This message, titled “Heaven’s Throne,” explores the majesty and purpose of God’s throne in heaven as described in Psalm 103, Isaiah 66, and Revelation 4. The teaching explains that God has intentionally set up His throne as both a seat of power and a spiritual covering, reminding us that His dominion rules over all. By examining John’s vision in Revelation, the message describes the awe-inspiring details of the throne room—lightnings, thunderings, the rainbow, the 24 elders, the four living creatures, and the continual worship offered to God and the Lamb. The teaching emphasizes that this heavenly atmosphere of praise is not only God’s protection against corruption but also an example for believers to follow. Just as Job was hedged in by God’s protection, Christians are called to remain under God’s covering through faith, prayer, worship, and obedience, rather than relying solely on denominational traditions or man-made commandments. Practical applications are given on how to establish a hedge of protection in daily life, including worship, Scripture, and consistent fellowship with God. Finally, the message connects the throne room to end-time prophecy, reminding listeners that now is the time to be saved and walk faithfully with Christ. The throne of God assures believers of His ultimate plan to end sin, bring everlasting righteousness, and gather His people under His eternal protection. The teaching closes with a call to live in readiness, place oneself under God’s covering, and boldly share the good news before the final days unfold. 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 teaching on Friday, April 18th, 2025. Welcome. Let's open up in a word of prayer. Father God, we thank you for your word and we pray that your word does not return void. That your word fills our hearts and our minds, our soul, and our spirit. That we manifest your word and we share your word to others so that they learn of who you are and how you do things. so they can even better themselves and at least humble themselves before you, Father God, in the name of Jesus. Thank you, Lord. In Jesus, holy name we pray. Amen. Amen. Amen. Welcome. I'm glad you can join me. We're about to have resurrection day here on Sunday. And since I'm going to be with family, I'm going to teach on Friday. Did this the last two weeks uh because of busy family time over the weekend. This teaching is called heaven's throne. So, we're going to get into how God keeps himself protected, keeps himself from sin, keeps himself surrounded by the things he creates for his pleasure. So, I want to walk you through heaven's throne and partially about end times. I went into end times last time, end time prophecy. So, we're going to talk a little bit more about that, but this is called heaven's throne. So, let's dive in. Let's go to our first two scriptures here. Psalm 103:19, the Lord hath prepared or set up his throne, his covering in the heavens, and his kingdom dominion rule with power over all. Thus, and then Isaiah 66 verse1, thus sayith the Lord, the heaven is my throne or my covering, and the earth is my footstool. Where is the house that you build unto me, and where is the place of my rest? And he's talking to King David there about uh David wanted to build him a home, a temple. And David never had the opportunity to do that because we had of how much bloodshed he had on him. But Solomon, his son, was able to build the temple. And we know that the temple will be built the third time, which will be an end time prophecy. So notice here, I want you to see something. The Lord hath prepared. So the Lord took this action. And what action did he take? He set up his throne. Which that throne is a representation of your covering, of your protection. That's what he did. He has set up his covering in the heavens. And his kingdom is the dominion that's going to rule or with power over all. We are part of the kingdom of God for anyone who believes that Jesus Christ is the son of God. 1 John 4:1 tells us to test the spirits. If a person can't say, "I Jesus Christ is the son of God," then yeah, we got problems. But notice the covering part of this. This is his covering. You see, we can set ourselves up under a particular covering. Some people do it through a church. You follow that church's teaching. So you you place that covering of that church upon you. And it could be a denomination. There are many out there. Uh I mean a lot of denominations out there. You've got the Calvary Chapel, the Assemblies of God, 7th Day Adventist, Baptist, Methodist, and the list goes on. Okay? Now, I was not saying any of those in any particular order. But you can also place your covering upon you personally with the Lord which separates you from that. See, here's a key element that we need to understand about the heavenly throne room of God. This heavenly covering, it is a spiritual covering. We were talking about spiritual covering. When you have this covering upon you and you you establish it, see God established his own, when you do that through God and you avoid going through a denomination or a church or anything of that nature, what you end up doing is you're separating yourself from the things of the world. Now, is the church a thing of the world? Typically not. The church is part of the kingdom of God, part of the body of Christ. Well, here's the issue. What if that church has set up what's called commandments of men? They set up theological rules that you have to follow. Uh there are many churches who believe that in order for you to get saved, you not only have to confess, but you also have to get water baptized. And that's not scriptural. Remember the thief on the cross? So, the thief in the cross didn't get down off that cross to go get water baptized. Okay. So, here's where we're looking at it. We're going to be here in Revelation 4 verse, we're going to go through that whole chapter there. I want you to see and understand how God has established his covering upon him. And this is for your protection. So you can come into your secret place with the Lord, you and God, and you delve into the scriptures and you find out what kind of covering do you want to place upon yourself and it will be biblical. It would be scriptural just like a church does. Your body, your temple, you you have to be able to do this. And the heavenly throne room is set up as an example like this because then this teaches us how this is a foundation on teaching us how to deal with everything that comes up to the throne room. And part of it is also that you're putting God first. Remember Matthew 6:33, seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and then all these things are added unto you. Amen. So start here in Revelation 4, chapter uh chapter 4:es 1 and two. After this, I looked and behold. So, I'm going to pause here for a second. John the beloved is writing the book of Revelation. And he is about to be called up to heaven, not to die, but to be a witness and to write down the revelation of it. Now, you say, well, okay, he's going to write down the revelation of whatever is given to him. This is all future prophecy. Do we really need to know that? It's going to happen one way or another. Jesus told the church of Sardis in Revelation 3, and the church of Sardis is a dead church. He said, "If you had been praying and watching," which is what he told the church to do in Matthew 24, you would have known the hour that I was coming. And a lot of people teach that no one knows the day nor the hour. But yet, there's scripture that tells us we're to be watching and praying to be aware of. So, we're in this setting where John is going to be revealed or given revelation of what is to come. Now, I am not an end time prophecy expert by any means. And for that matter, anyone who is. They're not God. I'm not God. We're not God. We're not going to know or understand everything perfectly or completely. What happens is we're going to know a part. And when our parts are revealed to one another, we all share our little parts together, a bigger picture that we have. And that will help us understand end time prophecy. So what we're going to do is that's the setting, the higher uh the overall higher setting here that we're looking at. But we're looking at the throne room at God in his throne room and how it's set up and how John perceives it. So let's get into that. So after this I looked and behold a door. Uh another word for that door in the Strong's dictionary is portal was opened in heaven. You see we do not see heaven and we do not see God's throne. Yet you're going to see that thunderings and lightnings happen here. We get storms, we see thunder uh we see lightning and we hear thunder. So, we know that these things do come to the earth because that's up in the sky, the heavenly area. But we don't see what John is seeing here. This is fascinating. But in order for him to see it, a door had to be opened. You see, if you're going to want to understand end time prophecy, what do you need to do? You need to get into the word of God and ask the Lord to reveal to you, which is opening a door. So, first things first, a door is opened in heaven. And the first voice which I heard w was as it were of a trumpet. Now, let's let's prepare ourselves here for just a quick moment as we're going to look at the throne room. There are weird things in heaven. He's hearing a voice that sounds like a trumpet talking to him. Like a trumpet is talking to him is kind of what he's saying. He doesn't see the person. He hears this voice because remember he's still on the earth. He isn't in the spirit yet. So he hears so it's like um like a faded um it's a like a warped sound kind of a trumpet sound that's he's hearing through this door and it's telling him let's go and look at that says uh and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet or reverberation. That was another way to look at this is that he's hearing the vibrations and his mind is understanding what it's saying means it wasn't actually speaking through a mouth per se. It was speaking through the re uh reverberation talking with me which said come up hither and I will show thee things which must be hereafter. So there's also an invitation from heaven. John was given an invitation. So the door was open. An invitation was given him. He heard it through a reverberating kind of sound. And he and and he's realizing that he's being offered a chance to go up to heaven. Now he doesn't say nope, I don't want to go there. He says or he records and immediately I was in the spirit and behold a throne was set in heaven and one sat on the throne. Now it's interesting that the word throne the word throne is it represents dominion power and here is God seated on the throne in heaven and John sees this. This is incredible because we don't get to see these things, but John was given the ability to record it so that we can actually get an idea of what this heavenly throne looks like. So, let's go into that. And he and he that sat or dwell was to look upon like a jasper and a sardine stone. And there was a rainbow round about the throne in sight like unto an emerald. And round about the throne was four and 20 seats. And upon the seats I saw four and 20 elders sitting clothed in white raignment. And they had on their heads crowns of gold or symbols of honor. So the first thing he noticed is the lighting. It's light. It's bright. It's like jasper and sardine. These are colors and they're very vibrant. And then he's noticing he's got 24 elders around him. It's like his own personal counsel, but they do more than that. You're going to see that here in just a moment. Let's continue on to verse 5. And out of the throne proceeded lightnings and thunderings and voices. Let's pause there for a moment. Let's think about this. So lightning, thunderings, voices. Again, we don't see that here on earth. We see lightning. We hear the thunder and we don't recognize that the heavenly throne is set up in this manner. It's got to be loud. But John is not just seeing the the bright lightnings. He's also seeing the the the coloring of God on this throne. And then he's seeing uh these 24 elders that are surrounding. And he's he's I would imagine he's got to be in a state of shock. was like, you know, the the jaw drop kind of thing, you know. And there were seven lamps of fire burning or kindling before the throne, which are the seven spirits of God. So, we get a little bit of insight as to who God is or what encompasses or makes God who he is. He is seven spirits. Now, we know him as God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. See, we don't know but just a little bit of who God is. We know he's omnipotent. He's always been. He will always be. And he created us. He's powerful. But for that part of it, we know he's forgiving. We know he's merciful. We know so little of God. It's like, you know, we're gonna find out when we get to heaven and we're on the other side of this world. We're going to finally get to see more of who God is and find out more of who he is. What makes him work? Why did he do all this? These kind of things. These type of questions are going to be asked and answered. This is how we're going to see it. So now verse six, and before the throne there was a sea of glass like under crystal. In the midst of the throne and round about the throne were four beasts. Beasts are a live animal full of eyes before and behind. Beast live animals. Four of them. We need more information. Let me go to verse seven. And the first beast was like a lion, and the second beast was like, The second beast like a calf, and the third beast had a face as a man, and the fourth beast was like a flying eagle, and the four beasts had each of them six wings or feathers about him. And they were full of eyes or vision within. In other words, they can see. And they rest not day and night. They don't take break. They don't have intermissions. And they say, "Holy, holy, holy Lord God Almighty, which was and is and is to come. These are holy beasts." Now I I don't want to belittle it. They're beasts. Let's continue on real quick in verse 9. And when those beasts give glory or praise and honor, the the honor is the value or the money pays. They're giving honor to who? Jesus. Because Jesus is sitting at the right hand of God. They're giving honor to both God and Jesus for what they're doing acknowledging the paid amount uh to redeem us. And they think and and when these let's start from verse nine at the beginning. When those beasts give glory and honor and thanks to him that sat on the throne, who liveth forever and ever, the four and 20 elders fall down before him that sat on the throne and worship. They kiss and fawn him that liveth forever and ever, casting and cast their crowns before the throne, saying, Thou art worthy, deserving, oh Lord, to receive glory and honor and praise, for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created. Pause. So these four beasts who can see everything because they got eyes all over the place. Praise the Lord. And when they do that, the 24 elders just drop everything. They throw everything back at God. They give them back the crowns and the the glory that they had earned for themselves and they throw it back to God and they say, "Here you go, Lord, and we praise you for you are holy, holy, holy, who is, who was, and who is to come." So he's got this atmosphere around himself that is constantly giving him glory, praise, and honor. Why does God do that? Well, we have to pause and think about that for a moment. God is omnipotent and he knows of how much power that he has that if he were to become corrupt, it would be bad. I'm just going to leave that there. It it would be bad. So what he has to do and what he does is he sets himself up an atmosphere of protection reminding him who he is, who he was, who he will become or be because he's always he'll never change. So he is being in the future as he's being in the now that he was in in the past. That is our beloved Jesus Christ. See, let's look at this from an interesting perspective. So, before all of creation took place, you had God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit that we're aware of. We see that there are seven spirits. So, there's more. But let's just talk about these three that we're taught and know about. We call them the Trinity. Even though that word is not in the Bible, that's what we call them because the three work as one that so much so that even though they're each individuals, we can't tell them apart. But before creation happened, they were all three. The spirit in the spirit Jesus left that son that he was in the spirit left that was pure powerful holiness. And he he left that to become a man to save you and me to redeem us to pay a price. He obvious obviously thought we were valuable to save. That's what Jesus did to the point that he's no longer spirit when he rose from the dead. He rose with a body. He now has a body. God the Father and the Holy Spirit are still spirit, but Jesus now has a body who now sits at the right hand of God in the throne. They share that um power, which is what the throne room represents. It's their covering and they and in that covering they've got praise and worship going on. Now, let's take this to our level. Let's bring us to to this level where what if we walked into the throne room of God. And you know in the spirit we do all the time whether we know it or not. We do. I when I start praying and I'm praying and I I'm actually entering into the and you want to know how I'm entering into it. I can't do it with my flesh but my prayers are in an incense type of form and that it's smoke and it's in the spirit going up to God and he hears the prayers and he moves. Now, we have opposition in the heavenlies where God sends the healing down. It's on its way, but it could take weeks before we get it. Why? Because we have an enemy that's opposing us. Part of that, by the way, is approved by God because God is also interested to know who you are. Where are you going to go with this healing? What do you, you know, are you going to thank me for that healing? Because nine out of 10en times many people do not thank God after they get their healing or after they get a particular revelation. You know, Paul when he was dealing with the thorn in the flesh didn't say what that thorn in the flesh was, but he asked God three times to to remove it. And God says, "My grace is sufficient for You know, the closer you get to God, the more you get to learn about him, the more you realize it is, he has made you understand and realize that you earn um what you do puts you in a position that the more you sacrifice under the hardship conditions, better off you're going to be when you get into heaven, when you get to that throne room, when you get to that element. Now, what about our walk? Because, see, I've seen questions like, "I'm a believer in Christ, but I still sin." Or, "I'm a believer, but I fall and I mess up again and again and again." What then? See, God has a hedge of protection around himself as an example for you and me to realize we need to put ourselves in an atmosphere where we place a hedge of protection around us. the name of Jesus as the son of God around us where we play the praise and worship music whether we're in church or at home especially if we're ministering we miss a service and we had to go do something else which comes up then these are the things you need to be prepared for you need to be prepared to go into ministry this is that next level calling and you have to put your protection around yourself which is the name of Jesus the son of the living God He's our Lord and Savior. And so if you don't want to sin anymore, you have to purpose in your heart that this is what I want to do. I want to give God the glory. I want to praise him. Well, then do that. Stay in that. Even though you have to step out, you have to go to sleep, you have to take a shower, you have to go to work, you have to do these things, you can always have God on your tongue speaking the name of Jesus, praising him, worshiping him because that's what's going to keep you from tripping and falling. And the Lord will show you, he's a lamp into your feet, a light into your path. He will show you, reveal to you the things that are coming up. This is the hedge of protection that we have been granted and we can have that. Let's look a little further. Um, Job is an interesting book. Job 1:10. Hast not thou made a hedge? This is the devil talking to God about Job? Look at what he says here. Hast not thou made a hedge in twin or shut in about him and about his house and about all that he hath on every side? Thou hast blessed the work of his hands. because you've kneed at the work of his hands. In other words, you approve the work of his hands. The transaction and his substance you bought. You you paid the price for him is increased in the land. You see, the devil's acknowledging. See, God is bragging about Job right now. And he's saying, "Have you seen my servant Job?" And um the devil's like, "Yeah, you got him so shut in and protected I can't do anything to him. That was God that placed the hedge of protection around Job. Job had God's covering on him because of the acts that Job that Job did. Even when his kids had a party, the very first thing when sunlight came up, he was over there um sacrificing animals just in case they cursed while they were under the influence of a drink. He didn't know if they did it or not, but he was praying on their behalf, interceding for them just in case. This is the kind of righteousness that Job had. And that place God's covering upon him, God approved it. And everything about Job, he was righteous and protected. And yet, God bragged about him and allowed the enemy to do what he did to him. But not once did Job complain or curse God. He talked and he said things like, you know, I believe him. He's my Lord. Hey, I came into this world naked. I'm going to leave this world naked. He confessed these things. But he never once cursed God. And then the devil had to leave him alone after that because God shut him in and protected and placed his covering over him. And wouldn't you rather have God's covering on you versus man's covering? See, when you rely on man and you rely on what man can do, you can rely on what a doctor can do. They're taking guesses as to what your problem is medically. They don't know who is your creator, who knows your body best, our God in heaven, who knows your heart. If you're truly interested in wanting to be in the ministry of the the word of God and you're really wanting to go forth and save people's lives, now is the time to go into all the world and preach the good news. This is why I do what I do. I'm trying to tell you guys, get saved now. Because when you see these seven years that are coming that's been prophesied and spoken of in Daniel and Revelation through John the beloved, when you see that coming where at the first 50 days, nobody could die. It's hell on earth. You don't want to live in that time period. Don't make it to that time period. Get saved now because the righteous will be removed before that time. Look at the conversation Abraham had with God before God went and destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah. Abraham was very concerned about the righteous being mixed with the wicked. And here the righteous stood up and said no. Uh my humble apologies. My grandson came in and just uh uh got me all Abraham had a conversation with God and as God was tell he revealed to Abraham what he was going to do. who's going to destroy Sodom and Gomorrah. But see, Lot lived in Sodom. And so God Abraham was like, "Wait a second. There's righteous and wicked." The two are entwined together. And so God Abraham asked him, "What if there's 50 righteous people?" And God says, "I won't destroy the city." What about there's 45? No. Won't destroy. How about 40? No. 30? No. 20? No. 10? No. When God destroyed Sodom, it was only Lot and his two daughters who were rescued. His wife turned around and turned into a pillar of salt. That's all that survived that because that was all that was left of righteousness. Same with Noah's day. Methuselah was number nine. He was the ninth righteous. Noah and his family were eight. When Methuselah died, that was it. There were no other righteous people. This allowed God to destroy the earth with the flood. Well, he's gonna do the same thing when he brings wrath and he pours it on the world, which is what that seven-year time period is all about. So, now's the time for you and me as teachers of the word of God to one, place that hedge of protection around us, and two, to go into all the world and tell people, you don't want to live in that time frame. Get saved now while the getting is good. Amen. That's what we need to do. And look at what else um in Job chapter 3 uh verse 23. Why is light given to a man whose way is hid and whom God hath hedged or fenced in? You see the light of the world is through us and in us when we stand with God. Even though we still fall, God has forgiven us and we're declared righteous. Look at Ecclesiastes 10:8. He that digth the pit shall fall into it. And who so breakth a hedge, a serpent shall bite him. When you don't have your covering, you're going to get bit by the devil because remember, he was the serpent in the Garden of Eden. And so, he's going to come bite you. You need to be in a place where you have God's hedge of protection around you. You need to enter it. Go to him. Start a relationship with him. Start talking with him and say, "Lord, I need you." And then spend that quality time with him. Don't just do a daily devotional that's anywhere between 5 to 15 minutes. Let it mean something. Purpose it in your heart and mind. Let your heart talk to God and say, "I really, really want more of you." And by the way, he tests the hearts of men. So, he's going to know. What else is he going to do? He is going to answer your calling. He's going to answer your prayer and he will be there and he will place his covering upon you and he will conceal you and hide you in his arms and nothing can touch you unless the Lord allows it. And then at that point if that's the case, something does touch you or something happens do what Job did. I came into the world naked. I'm going leave this world naked. I just give you the glory. Because see, God has an ultimate plan. Amen. He has his end goal. Read Daniel 9:27 gives you the ultimate plan. He's going to bring an end to sin, an end to iniquity, an end to transgression. He's going to close up vision and prophecy. He's going to bring an end to that. All of that's coming to an end. So, in the meantime, we as believers need to let the world know it's time to get saved. time to get saved and place ourselves into under his covering so that we're walking under his anointing and we are not convoluted or mixed up with commandments of men or polluted by theology that they can't get it and they'll never get it. Not until they humble themselves before the Lord and call upon the name of the Lord Jesus and are saved. Amen. So that's just how it works. Let's close in a word of prayer. Father God, we thank you for your word and we bless your word and we honor your word. You are precious and holy and worthy and honorable and we thank you that your word does not return void. Let your word fill our hearts, Father God, and let us manifest your presence and let us tell the world. Open the doors for us to tell the world now is the time to get saved. Thank you for showing us how you set up your throne room. Thank you for giving us the idea of how to hedge ourselves in under your holy protection. Thank you, Lord. In the name of Jesus, we pray. Amen. Amen. Happy resurrection day and I will see you next week. Bye-bye. Home Watch the Video Teaching

UNDERSTANDING THE BOOK OF REVELATION PART 7 Written Teaching Pastor Marcos Marrero June 14, 2009 Objective Prepare listeners to receive God’s Word with faith, repentance, and spiritual alertness. Explain a prophetic timeline of Revelation, highlighting the Church age’s close, the rapture, and the two halves of the seven-year judgment (1,260 + 1,290 days). Contrast faithful and nominal churches (Philadelphia vs. Laodicea) and center salvation on Jesus’ deity and atoning blood. Unpack the roles of the two witnesses, the beast from the abyss, the seventh trumpet, and the judgment/reward of saints. Describe Israel’s preservation in the wilderness during Satan’s intensified persecution and connect it to the Day of Atonement patterns. Call believers to live their God-given purpose, overcome by the blood of the Lamb and the word of their testimony. Synopsis After an opening prayer of spiritual warfare and consecration, the message lays a foundation: Scripture never returns void, salvation rests solely on Jesus’ sinless blood, and religion without Christ’s deity and atonement cannot save. Using the ark and mercy seat as a picture, the sermon emphasizes forgiveness through Christ’s blood rather than human effort. A prophetic overview follows: the Church age (~2,000 years) ends with a visible heavenly unveiling and the rapture of believers who love Christ’s appearing. The first half of the seven-year period (1,260 days) features the release of tormenting demonic powers and the ministry of two witnesses (identified here as Enoch and Elijah) who prophesy until the beast from the abyss kills them; after 3½ days they rise and ascend, accompanied by a great earthquake that kills 7,000. The seventh trumpet then announces that the kingdoms of this world belong to Christ. Believers appear before Christ’s judgment seat—not for condemnation, but for rewards based on faithfulness to their God-given purpose (gold/precious stones vs. wood/hay/stubble). Revelation 12’s “war in heaven” is expounded: Michael expels Satan to earth, triggering fierce persecution of Israel (“the woman”). God supernaturally preserves a remnant in the wilderness for “a time, times, and half a time” (linked to the Day of Atonement pattern of two goats—one taken, one left—and to passages about fleeing through split mountains and sheltering in caves). Typological connections (e.g., “wings of an eagle,” honey and oil from the rock) illustrate God’s provision while the world faces the mark of the beast and martyrdom of those who refuse it. The message closes with a grace-filled appeal: now is the age of mercy. Believers are urged to anchor their identity in Christ’s love, overcome by His blood and their testimony, and walk through the “right door” of destiny for God’s pleasure and glory. Written and/or Transcribed Teaching from Video Hallelujah. Gloria. [Music] What? No Spanish speaking people here. Praise God. Father in heaven, in Jesus name, I come in agreement now with my brother Fred, Father God, as to binding, Father God, every demonic influence that uh will try to hinder, Father God, us from receiving the word of God tonight. Your word declares that your word does not return to you void, Father, but every time we quote or speak it or talk about it, it goes forth and accomplishes the purpose for which you send it. We declare that we are vessels ready to receive your word, Father God, like water to our spirit and to our soul for nourishment, Father God, for deliverance, for healing, and for restoration, Father God, that we may receive spiritual vision, Father God. The vision of life and hope and liberty and the grace and mercy that you have bestowed upon us, Father God. also that we may have ears to hear what the Holy Spirit says to us, Father God, that we may walk in the path of righteousness for your name's sake. And that you will empower us, Father God, to choose the right door. And we pray, Father, that you would close every door that is not our destiny in you. And that the Holy Spirit will lead us and guide us through that door, no matter how difficult it may be, that we may walk through it by the power of the Holy Spirit, that we may fulfill the purpose for which you created us. that we may fulfill the destiny. For you created us for a purpose and the purpose is to give joy to you. It says that for your pleasure we were created that the things that we do may give pleasure to you, Lord Jesus. Thank you for empowering us tonight to receive it and bless a vision for women ministries. Father God, I pray your blessing upon Fred and Tony and the many that support this ministry, Father God, that it will be a vibrant, Father God, place where life and liberty and all of these things that the Holy Spirit has come to give us, Father God, that may be received. But those who come here, Father, in Jesus name, we thank you, Lord. Amen. Amen. Amen. Hallelujah. Glory to God. If you got the book, we're going to use a lot of the scriptures that we have in the book. Uh we're going to start on page 49. And uh but if you have your Bible, I'm going to be quoting from um from the Bible. And I'm going to start where we finished last week. And that was in Revelation 11 uh Revelation 11 7-10. And then uh we're talking about the end of the um the first half of the wrath of God. For for those of you that that may not be here for the other classes, just get let me give you a brief recount. The church age lasts about 2,000 years. At the end of the church age, there will be an invasion upon the land of Israel. It will be a confederacy that comes from the north. It will involve a lot of the the nations. right now Iran will be one of them by the way that says that the uh the destruction of Israel is very close and that the United States the destruction of the United States will follow that's what he said in the United Nation this madman uh is going to be part very probably of this invasion against Israel so what will happen is God will allow this invasion to take place for one very simple reason most people on the world today don't know who who the real god is. You know there are many gods been preached. You have Buddha, you have Hinduism, you have new age. Even in Christianity, you have many definitions of that. The Bible says in Ezekiel uh 38 and 39 that God is going to show himself holy. That means God is going to choose to reveal to the entire world who the real God is. We read in Revelation chapter 6 when the sixth seal was opened that the sky receded as a scroll and that the people were able to see God in the throne and and the lamb of God Jesus next to him and they said the great day of his wrath has come and everybody ran and hid for their lives because the judgment was coming. So this judgment that God is and basically the judgment is purification. If we look at it from this point of view, it's easier to understand. The earth is contaminated with demons. This is alien, foreign creatures that were never intended to be here on the earth. These are the demons. They're called principalities, powers, a wicked spirit in the high places. These things contaminate mankind today to where mankind is at war against each other and against itself. People kill each other. People hate each other. People do vile things. All of the things are uh uh driven by demons which are under the control of Satan who led a rebellion against God. And one-third of these demonic angels are infesting the earth today. Now the Bible tells us uh in in Romans 8 um 9 in Romans 7:20 uh speaking as a Christian it says if I do the things that I do not want to do it is no longer I who do it but sin that's living in me. So Paul even speaks about a power of loneliness a power that it is within our very uh fiber that drives us to do things we know are wrong. You know we're bound. And it's just like this force is driving. What God is doing during this seven-year period is cleansing the earth. At the end of the seven-year period, an angel comes down with a great chain bind Satan and locks him up in the bottomless pit with every demon that has been uh bound there from that time. So, we saw that there were two types of churches at the time of this trumpet blowing when this uh uh when the heavens are going to part. One is called the Philadelphia church. The Philadelphia church has two qualities. And because of those two qualities, God says, "I will keep you from the hour that is coming to test all of the inhabitants of the earth." The quality was is that we believe in the word of God and that we did not deny his name. See, there are many people today that quote the Bible but don't really believe it. They they they say, "Yeah, we believe Jesus was a good man, but demons, h there's no such thing. Yeah, we believe that Jesus was a good man, but healing people that were blind." No, that was just they were peasants. What did they know? They wasn't really blind when they got there. This is what they'll tell you. They teach you this in in liberal theology. And when it comes about the deity, ah uh no, you know, Joseph messed around with Mary and so Jesus was born out of that. So Jesus is a good man in their eyes. He did good thing but he's not either God nor savior because see if he was born of Joseph he's infected with sin just as we are because the reason why we sin is because we inherited. Guess what? Your parents sin. David said in sin my mother did conceive me when he was repenting of of a sin of lust and and and adultery and all the things said in he says I was conceiving sin. And so as you can see this sinful nature that we have God is going to remove it by simply people who believe in the word of God and in the blood of Jesus to cleanse. You see the only thing that can take away our sins is the blood of Jesus. That's why Jesus had to die. When Jesus died on the cross you you see God when he gave the law he said the soul that sinnth shall surely die. And God says that the life is in the blood. So death meaning your blood has to be shed. That's that's what what a criminal does when when when they kill him. The blood is where the life is at. So the blood is run out of it. So when Jesus died on the cross and he was bleeding from the head because he had thorns on the head. He was bleeding from the wrist because they have pierced his hand. He was bleeding from his uh feet because they have pierced his feet. He was bleeding from his back because they beaten and had all kinds of stripes on the back. And then he was uh uh bleeding from the pierce. They pierced his heart with a spear. When Jesus was bleeding from every extremity, every part of the body, torso, head, extremity, when he was bleeding, his blood, which is pure blood, was sufficient before God to take away all of the sin. So when we accept Jesus as our savior, you see in in the ark of the covenant which is a picture up in there in the middle in the ark of a covenant the law that says the short that the soul that sin is shall surely be cut off was placed in here. This is a box made of gold and had the little top and this law was placed in there the books of Moses. This up here is called the mercy seat. So when you would apply blood to the mercy seat, the angels here represent God looking down, the God could see through the top and could see the sins. The law says you shall die. But when the blood was poured out, the blood covered the law. It says that blood already uh h uh paid for the sin. So the people in the Old Testament had to offer a sacrifice, a lamb that was spotless, that had no no no blemishes on it. And that blood pointed out to when the lamb of God would take away the sins of the world. So that when Jesus came and he died on the cross, now when I come to the mercy sinner, I said, "Lord, forgive me for I have sinned." The law says to all the sinner shall surely die. So I am to be killed. But then the blood of Jesus who was taken by the eternal spirit when he was on the cross, it was placed in the heavenly ark and was placed up in there. The blood of Jesus now covers me. When I throw myself in the mercy seat of God, I come before the mercy seat of God. God looks and instead of seeing me and seeing the law, he sees the blood. Amen. You see, and if I believe that, if I fall to that, I am not righteous because anything I have done, but by the grace of God and I believe his word, and I believe his atonement, and I believe that Jesus had to be pure and holy, the son of God, conceived by the spirit of God, human, because he was placed in the in in the womb. And now we know today that you can take a a female egg and you can fertilize it with a sperm. That's what God did. Except instead of injecting a Joseph or any man thing, it was God. The very same breath that he spoke in the Garden of Eden when he created Adam, he placed that breath in in in in the ovary of Mary. And that which was conceived was totally human. But his blood was pure because a fetus does not get any blood from the mother at all. The blood of a spirit fetus come from the father. Being that his father wasn't Joseph, that his father was God. His blood was pure. And so when he shed his blood, guess what? Boom. I am saved. Why? Because his blood is my life now. Okay. Now there's another church we're told. And the church of the church of Leo and the sin of this church is that in Revelation 3:20, Jesus stands the at the door of this church. He says, "I stand at the door and knock." Means this church, Jesus is out. And you know why Jesus is out? Because that type of church doesn't believe there's demons. Doesn't believe there's Satan. Doesn't believe that Jesus is really the son of God. They just have religion. And see, religion cannot save. Religion cannot save because sin is deep inside of each and every one of us. And the only way that can remove away that sin is the blood of Jesus. So then we saw that uh before the seven years wrath of God begins on the earth that the true church those who love his appearing. Paul talks about Jesus's return. Those who love his appearing meaning when the uh when the heavens are open and we can see the throne of God and we can see the lamb of God ready to judge all of those of us who have that blessed hope. We're going to get excited. We got to start jumping up on that. What's up? That's what rejoice says. And we got to start shouting. He kept his prophet. He kept his here Jesus here. I'm over here women. And we got to be w just waiting for the angel to come by and pick us up. But you see, the people have been trusting in religion. The people have been denying that Jesus is the son of God and that yeah, no, he his blood really don't take away sin. He doesn't do this or that. those people are going to be left behind because they don't know the real Jesus. And so they're going to have to go through the judgment. And we found out that this seven-year period is divided into two parts. The first half and the second half. The first half 7 years by the way is 2555 days. That is if you multiply 365* 7. 7 years is 2555 days. We found out that the first half has 1,260 days and the second half has 1,290 days. That makes it 2550. So there's five days in between. We found out that when the church gets taken away, not only those of us who are alive and are looking for his appearing are taken out, but every righteous person, every person that died hoping on that blood that come from heaven will be raised at that time. So we have the first part of the resurrection. All of those dead people, Adam will his body will rise then. Abraham, Sarah, David, all of those saints, every person who believe the word of God as it was given to them back then will be raised up at the beginning of this 1,260 days. And God in his mercy for the first five months, that's 150 days. Of those 1,260 days, he's going to release all the demons that are in hell. In other words, this second heaven or the second realm where all of these demonic things that we see their influences today because they're not seen at the time they're going to be revealed. And it says that these demons were given power to torment all of the inhabitants of the earth for five months, but they couldn't kill him. He says nobody's going to be able to die on those five months, which is it really boggles your mind. Can you imagine a whole world with so much stuff and nobody can die? The angel of death is going to be blocked away or something. God is not going to let anybody that. So for five months we or not me I won't be here but the people that remain here on the earth are going to find out that hell is real. And you know why? Because a lot of people 75 or 80% of the people acc believe that there's a heaven up to 90 95%. But very few people believe that there's a hell. And you see, you're going to have God and and no devil. Just like you're going to have no devil and and a God because it's good and evil. That's what Adam and Eve parttook of. They ate of the tree of the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. There's good and there's evil. There's God and there's the devil. And they have an influence of where we're going. So because those people did not believe. In other words, they might have believed in God, but they said, "You know what? There's really no hell I don't have to worry about. I just going to live for myself. So what God is going to do during those five months, he's going to allow every human that is on the earth to get acquainted with their demons. Those demons that entice people to do the bad things been all this time. All the time you thought it might have been you, the one that was doing it. Well, if you miss that the rapture, they're going to be released and and you're going to be able to see them. And this is in God's mercy to show you, listen, this is what's real. So then the two witnesses come in and they will be prophesying for those 1,260 days. Now prophesying meaning declaring what the people of that time have to do in order to go to heaven. Right now we know what we need to do to go to heaven. That if you confess that Jesus died for your sin, you confess you're a sinner and that Jesus died for you and you believe that in your heart and accept him as your savior, you're saved. Guaranteed. There's no requirement. You don't have to be a PhD on nothing. All you have to do is believe. God has given everybody this a a seed of faith to believe on that. Now, these people are going to be told what they need to do. And this is the message of the two witnesses. And when the two witnesses are given the message, it comes from the voice of seven thunders. As the seven thunders utter their voices, John is told not to write what they say. That means that we don't know. So if you say now, well, if I miss a rapture, I'll do such and such. Why would you want to meet your demon for five months? I'm not that crazy, you know. Leave him here. I'm going to go up on the boat. But anyway, if somebody would think like that, uh, we're not told what they need to do at that time to get saved. This is sealed. This is not going to be revealed until after we are taken out. Now this this uh uh uh people are going to have good news and bad news. He says, "I took the scroll." This is what they were the message. When I took it in my mouth was sweet as honey, but when it got to my stomach, it was bitter. It was sour. This is a a type of to saying good news and bad news. The two witnesses are going to come in and says, "I got good news and I got bad news." The good news is you can still make it to heaven. And everybody said, "Hallelujah." And they said, "The bad news is you got to die." Why? Because you missed it. You You missed the grace of God. The grace ends when the trumpet blows and we're taken up. So the second half, God is now dealing with the law. So at the end of the 1,260 days, this is when the law ends. And this is what we're going to pick up. So I just kind of gave you an abbreviated version of what we've been teaching so far. Revelation 11 verse 7-10. And if you got the book, we're on page 49. It says, "When they finish their testimony, the beast that ascends out of the bottomless pit will make war against them, overcome them, and kill them, and their dead bodies will lie in the street of the great city, which is spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified. Then those from the peoples, tribes, tongs, and nations will see their dead bodies for three and a half days and not allow their dead bodies to be put into graves. And those who dwell on the earth will rejoice over them, make merry, and send gifts to one another because these two prophets tormented those who dwell on the earth. They blamed these two prophets for releasing the demons and and for doing all of the things that they were do, trying to convince them that they can still make it. Now notice that the person that kills them is called a beast that ascended out of the bottomless pit. Everybody know it's the antichrist, but you hear a lot of stuff today about the antichrist is Henry Kissinger or they're always looking for a guy somewhere in the world that would fit, you know, maybe is uh Obama or McCain or Bush. They're always looking for for some world leader that's going to fit that. He comes out of the pit. How much more clear can you get than that? This guy comes out of the pit. What pit are you talking about? The pit of hell. That's where he comes out of. He is, you see here, I got to identify who are the two witnesses. Well, the two witnesses is Enoch and Elijah. Now, why are this the two witnesses? Well, Enoch never die and Elisha never die. And the word of God says very clearly that it is appointed unto men once to die. Then comes the judgment. These two were taken up to heaven and never die. That violates the law of God. So they had to come back down to the earth to do what? To die. We just read. That's what they did. Well, in the same way, you know how long Enoch has been in heaven? He was taken up there about 700 years after Adam. So, Adam uh so we have a uh let me see two to three is one to four five six he's been up in there about 4,300 years you know and he won't be a second older when he comes down because in heaven he's at the center of time Jesus says I am the I am the I am is at the center of time everything moves around him but it's he's ever present so you're next to Jesus and you're ever present as a matter of fact in in in in the temple where the ark is there's a manora like this and you see this in Zechariah and there's another olive tree and another olive tree which is who the two witnesses are standing right next to the spirit of God that's the spirit that burns eternal they're standing in eternity and they're there for a purpose and they come in for this purpose this purpose is for them to preach the word of God to the world for 1,260 days now Satan is an imitator everything that God does. Satan does. See, Satan is not an originator. He's not a creator. He is just the opposite of everything that God is. He has no new thing of his own. The same thing Satan is tempting you with now. He tempted your parents, your grandparents, your great-grandparents. Go all the way back up to Adam. He still had the same lure. Getting old, but you know, this is what it does. He had nothing new. It's the same thing. So, he led a rebellion against Moses. That's uh 3,500 years ago. He led a rebellion against Moses and and and we'll get to the scripture tonight. And Moses says, "If these two guys die a natural death, then I'm not from God." But if God does something totally new, he takes these two guys alive to the pit to hell, then you know that I'm from God. So here these two guys uh uh Alberam and uh Avatar, who's the other? We'll we'll get to their names. Anyway, these two guys is been down in hell while the two witnesses have been there. When the heavens rent open and the rapture takes place, the two witnesses come down, the earth open up and the two demonic guys open up. So, what you have during this first, 1260 days is a battle between four what you would say immortals. I mean, we know that the witnesses are going to die, but they're brought back alive again. But this this is going to be what's happening during this 1,260 days. There's a battle between heaven and hell. The antichrist was called destroyer, Abdom. We saw him come up when the fifth trumpet came out. Uh the angel that came down had the key to the to the abyss. And as he opened the abyss, all of this came down. And there was one that was leading him. His name was Abdom or destroyer. That's what Judas was the type of just like Elijah was a type John the Baptist was a type of Elijah. Judas was a type of the Antichrist. Okay. Now he comes up and for 1,260 days they're making war against the two witnesses. But the two witnesses have power to bring fire down from heaven and to torment the people. And they cannot be killed until the end of the days of their prophecy. 1,260 days, which is what we just read. We just read in Revelation 11 verse 17-10 that uh as soon as their their testimony when they finish their testimony the beast that ascends out of the bottomless pit is going to make war against them is going to overcome them and kill them because they have never died. They cannot go back to heaven until they die. It is appointed onto men wants to die. When we when the rapture takes place, we don't die. You said, "Well, why not?" Did you know that if you're a Christian, you're already dead? Because when you accept Jesus Christ as your savior, God sees you as condemned. Because all the sin is to surely be cut off. So when you come to the altar and say, "Lord, forgive me all of my sins." You just admit it before God, your judgment day, death. Except God has a lawyer. He's an advocate. He's Jesus. And immediately as you throw yourself on the altar and said, "God, I'm a sinner." And the Lord requires that you be killed. Jesus steps in said, "Father, I die for this person. My blood, which is on the mercy seat," speaks out on their behalf. And even though you're dead, you remain alive. That's why Paul says, "I am dead in Christ. I am crucified with Christ. The life that I now live is not I who lives it, but the spirit of God that is on me." So you see, we go in the rapture because in reality, we're already dead. Jesus said, "He that believeth in me shall never die." And then he said, "Can you believe this?" He said, "Wait a minute. This body is going to die in the No, I'm not the body. This is just a a a tent that you need to operate here on the earth. The body may die, but you're not. The minute you accepted Jesus Christ as your savior, the Holy Spirit was given to you as a deposit, as a guarantee to make your spirit alive. So when the trumpet blows, we're taken up again. So then the two witnesses are killed. Now go down to uh next page 50 and uh look at Revelation 11, 12, and 13. This is following uh from what we were just reading. Now after the three and a half days that these bodies lay up in there on the temple, the breath of life from God entered them, and they stood on their feet, and great fear fell on those who saw them. And they heard a loud voice from heaven, saying to them, "Come up here." This is the resurrection. Come up here. And they ascended to heaven in a cloud. That's what the resurrection is. They ascended to heaven in a cloud and their enemies saw them. It says in that same hour there was a great earthquake and a tenth of the city fell. This is important that you see there's a collapse physical collapse of the earth that takes place. In the earthquake 7,000 people were killed and the rest were afraid and gave glory to God. Now what happens over here is everybody that died trusting in the word of God from Adam all the way until when the trumpet blows and heavens is rent open. They even though they're dead, their bodies are going to be resurrected. In other words, you have a a spiritual body in heaven. Your soul is in heaven with Jesus, but you don't have a physical body. Since Jesus is coming back to the earth, you need to have an eternal and immortal body like Jesus has. So wherever the molecules or the atom that your body were made of, wherever they may be, God reconstitute them and makes a brand new body come up. And that body then is the house for the spirit and the soul to come in. And then we're going to be like Jesus because that's what Jesus has. Jesus not only has his soul and his spirit, he has a physical body that's been in heaven for 2,000 years since he rose up physically. So at that time, those who us those of us who are alive and still believe, we're going to be transformed. Paul says that in the twinkling of an eye when the trumpet blows that we're going to be raised up. the corrupt the corruptible is going to put in corruption and and we're going to be transformed in an instant. Now, since that is a resurrection, now during the 1,260 days, a lot of people die. Says onethird of all of the earth is killed. Okay? Every person that dies during the 1,260 days, if they die believe in the testimony of the two witnesses, they have to be resurrected as well. These are the ones that are under the law. Now, this is what happens when the when we just read there, it says a voice, the spirit of God came upon them. They became alive and a voice from heaven says come up here. That is the second uh uh the second stage of the first resurrection. See, God resurrected everybody by grace. Now he gave u the the law and now everybody that died in there is resurrected. So that includes the two witnesses who were faithful to their calling and that includes the the 144,000 as you will see uh uh later. Now, uh, continue on. Revelation 11:14-16. It says, "The second wool is passed. Behold, the third woe is coming quickly." We told you that the 1,260 days were divided into two woes. The first five months was called the first wall, which was the fifth trumpet. The second wall was the rest of the time. So right here, that completes the second world. That means we're coming into the seventh trumpet now. And the seventh trumpet is going to lead us into what we're going in tonight, the second half of the seven years wrath of God, which will encompass 1,290 days. Now, Revelation uh 11:14-16. Then the seventh angel sounded, and there were loud voices in heaven, saying, "The kingdoms of this world have become the kingdoms of our Lord and of his Christ, and he shall reign forever and ever. And the 24 elders who sat before God on their thrones fell on their faces and worship God." Now, here is God making a declaration. Remember there are three things that God is judging during these seven years. He's judging the church. We found there was one that was faithful and there was one that was lacking. He's he's judging the Jews who have seven years remaining on their allotted time of judgment. According to Daniel, 490 years were uh decreed to judge him. At the at the end of 483 Jesus Messiah came and was cut off. So these seven years are allotted for the Jews. And here the only thing now that is left to be judged is the kingdoms of this world. So God judges the church first, then he judges Israel second, and then third he's going to judge the kingdoms of this world. Now in in in uh the resurrection and rapture of the church, the remember there are seven feasts. you have Passover uh unleaven bread and and uh first fruit. All of those three feasts that were celebrated at the beginning of the year represented the uh uh Jesus dying on the cross is our Passover. He's the lamb that has to be killed. The blood that was put on the lentil and uh and the lamb that they ate to be healed. That's what Jesus fulfilled Passover. When he was buried in the tomb, he fulfilled the feast of unleaven bread. Leaven is a type of sin. Bread without leaven means a body that has no sin. He was dead, but yet he never had no sin. So he had to rise. Then on the third day after the Sabbath, then you celebrated first fruit. First fruit symbolized the resurrection. So all those three feasts were filled by Jesus. Then Jesus told his disciple, go to Jerusalem and wait until you're end with power. And in 50 days from that feast, the Holy Spirit came down and 120 uh disciples that were in the upper room praying were full with the Holy Spirit. They began to prophesy and they're the ones that preach the gospel to all the world. Now, in the second coming of Jesus Christ, the last three feasts are going to be fulfilled. The first one is called the feast of trumpets. Guess what? The rapture takes place when the blowing of the trumpet. And that takes place that feast is fulfilled at the very first day at the end of the church when the church gets taken away. That's when the feast of trumpets is fulfilled. Then after the feast of trumpet, you have the most holy of all of the feast for the Jews is called the day of atonement when the sins of the nation of Israel have to be dealt with. That is what's happening over here in this middle time. God is judging Israel. This is Israel's day of atonement when the two witnesses are killed. And then uh and then the blood has to be shed. Now uh look at revelation 11 17-19. They saying we give you thanks oh Lord God Almighty the one who is and who was and who is to come because you have taken your great power and reign. The nations were angry, and your wrath has come. And the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that you should reward your servants, the prophets, and the saints, and those who fear your name, small and great, and should destroy those who destroy the earth. Then the temple of God was open in heaven. And the ark, that's the ark I just showed you there, and the ark of his covenant was seen in the temple. And there were lightning, noises, thunderous, earthquake, and great hell. Now see, the Bible says that every believer who has already died in Christ must appear before the judgment seat of Christ. Paul says, "Don't you know that you're not your own? That you've been bought with a price? Don't you know that you got to give an account for everything you done in the body after you were saved, whether good or bad?" See, this is not Christians believe that, oh, we're we're good. No. This life that we live now belongs to Jesus. God has a plan and a destiny for your life. And your judgment is not going to be whether you sin or whether you lie or whether you drink or whether you committed sexual immorality. Those those those things already being judged in the cross. What God is going to judge us for is for whether we fulfill our purpose, whether we fulfill our destiny, whether we live up to the reason why he created us. That's the purpose of this reward. He says that everything that we done after we got saved is going to be uh typified in sixth item. He call it wood, hay and straw. And then he calls it precious stones, silver and gold. Now as you know precious stones, silver and gold cannot be destroyed by fire. They can be refined but they cannot be destroyed. But wood, hay and stubble they are burnt. So basically when the rapture takes place, every single one of us must appear before the judgment seat of Christ. And then the books are going to be open. I was born again in June 2nd, 1976. Everything from the time I was born to June 2nd, 1976. I was 29 years old. It's not there in the books. You know why it's not there? Because Jesus forgave it all. Amen. Then every sin that I committed since then up until the time of the rapture is not there either because in the New Testament sin Home Watch the Video Teaching

It emphasizes that God not only evaluates our actions but also the motives behind them. By examining Scripture, the teaching encourages Christians to use their God-given gifts, talents, and opportunities with faithfulness, love, and humility so that their lives may bear fruit that glorifies Christ and withstands God’s judgment.

SALVATION OVERCOMES Written Teaching Minister Lisa Kane November 5, 2025 Objective To reveal that true salvation, found only in Jesus Christ, empowers believers to overcome sin, adversity, and the deception of evil. Through faith, confession, and trust in the Lord, salvation becomes not only the key to eternal life but also the strength, peace, and victory that sustain us in this present world. Synopsis Salvation Overcomes draws from Psalm 37 and other key scriptures to show that the distinguishing mark of the righteous is their trust in the Lord’s salvation. While the wicked may appear to prosper, their end is destruction; the salvation of the upright, however, brings peace and divine strength. Minister Lisa Kane teaches that the experience of salvation walk of confession, partnership with Christ, and faith in Christ causes the believer to overcome in any situation including death. Through passages such as Romans 10, 2 Corinthians 6, and Ephesians 1, she reveals that believers are sealed by the Holy Spirit, strengthened in times of trouble, and called to live lives worthy of the gospel. By declaring and living in the reality that “salvation is of the Lord,” we rise above adversity, reflect God’s glory, and demonstrate that through Christ we are more than conquerors—for truly, Salvation Overcomes. Written and/or Transcribed Teaching from Video Psalm 37:37-40 NKJV 37 Mark the blameless man, and observe the upright; For the future of that man is peace. 38 But the transgressors shall be destroyed together; The future of the wicked shall be cut off. 39 But the salvation of the righteous is from the Lord; He is their strength in the time of trouble. 40 And the Lord shall help them and deliver them; He shall deliver them from the wicked, And save them, Because they trust in Him. Ahhh…to be saved. Salvation makes the difference between a person living and walking in evil ways to a person living and walking in salvation. Salvation is from the Lord and we can choose to live by that salvation by choosing good. This decision allows us to be strong when it seems like evil is winning. I encourage you to read all of Psalm 37 as it makes a distinct difference between walking in salvation or being an evildoer. Acts 4:12 NKJV 12 Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.” Salvation comes from our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. He died on the cross to redeem us of our sins. Without that, we cannot be saved. With this salvation, we can choose to live godly lives and with that decision we overcome. Remember our opening scriptures: Psalm 37:37-38 NKJV 37 Mark the blameless man, and observe the upright; For the future of that man is peace. 38 But the transgressors shall be destroyed together; The future of the wicked shall be cut off. Those choosing Christ salvation lives in peace and the wicked shall be cut off. It is an understanding frustration when we see the wicked prosper and seem successful but remember, we have something much better and lasting throughout the ages – salvation from the Lord. Romans 10:10 NKJV 10 For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. And it takes speaking with our mouth, confession made unto salvation. I’ve taught this before that it is our mouth that makes the difference in how we walk in salvation, or deliverance over anything we face. We can declare Jesus is Lord over anything by reading verse 9: Romans 10:9 NKJV 9 that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. This is what saves us. We need to speak out loud. 2 Corinthians 6:1-2 NKJV We then, as workers together with Him also plead with you not to receive the grace of God in vain. 2 For He says: “In an acceptable time I have heard you, And in the day of salvation I have helped you.” Behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation. You can see from 2 Corinthians 6:1 that we work together – we speak God’s word and partner with our heavenly Father to not walk in vain, pride, or anything opposite salvation from the Lord. Today is the day of salvation. Ephesians 1:13-14 NKJV 13 In Him you also trusted, after you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation; in whom also, having believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise, 14 who[d] is the [e]guarantee of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, to the praise of His glory. This salvation places a seal over our lives guaranteeing our inheritance, in which we overcome. THANK YOU HEAVENLY FATHER! Jonah 2:9 NKJV 9 But I will sacrifice to You With the voice of thanksgiving; I will pay what I have vowed. Salvation is of the Lord.” While Jonah was in the belly of the fish, he cried out declaring salvation is of the Lord. It’s important to remember that in times of trouble, where it seems like there is nothing else we can do, we cry out to the Lord and declare salvation over that situation. Psalm 3:8 NKJV 8 Salvation belongs to the Lord. Your blessing is upon Your people. Selah Psalm 37:38 NKJV 39 But the salvation of the righteous is from the Lord; He is their strength in the time of trouble. Remembering salvation becomes a strength we draw on. Psalm 68:20 KJV 20 He that is our God is the God of salvation; and unto GOD the Lord belong the issues from death. You see salvation isn’t just overcoming death, it overcomes anything we face. We walk in peace…remember our opening scripture: Psalm 37:37 37 Mark the blameless man, and observe the upright; For the future of that man is peace. So, yes, our eternity in heaven is something to always look forward to but we can see God overcome current issues we face in the now. Philippians 1:27-30 NKJV 27 Only let your conduct be worthy of the gospel of Christ, so that whether I come and see you or am absent, I may hear of your affairs, that you stand fast in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel, 28 and not in any way terrified by your adversaries, which is to them a proof of perdition, but [f]to you of salvation, and that from God. 29 For to you it has been granted on behalf of Christ, not only to believe in Him, but also to suffer for His sake, 30 having the same conflict which you saw in me and now hear is in me. Knowing our salvation is from the Lord and choosing to walk in it, that becomes worthy of the gospel of Christ. This causes us to be a demonstration of what salvation can do for us. People will see the difference between evildoers and believers in Christ, and which one you represent. 1 Thessalonians 5:8-9 NKJV 8 But let us who are of the day be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love, and as a helmet the hope of salvation. 9 For God did not appoint us to wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ, God made salvation for us. Let’s choose to walk in that salvation and avoid the upcoming wrath set for the evildoers. Romans 8:37 NKJV 37 Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. After all, we are more than conquerors because Salvation overcomes. Home Watch the Video Teaching
