  • SEVEN SPIRITS OF GOD | House of Faith Ministries (HoFM)

    SEVEN SPIRITS OF GOD Written Teaching Minister Lisa Kane December 29, 2024 Objective The objective of this teaching is to help believers understand the significance of the seven spirits of God described in Revelation, how they are connected to the authority and victory of Christ, and how this same spiritual empowerment is available to every believer today. It encourages Christians to walk fully in their identity, to be watchful, diligent, and steadfast in faith, so they may conquer spiritual battles, overcome dual living, and operate in the authority given through Jesus Christ. Synopsis In this teaching, Lisa Kane examines the meaning of the seven spirits of God as revealed in Revelation 4:5 and 5:6, highlighting how Jesus, the Lamb of God, possessed them and through His victory has made them available to all believers. She connects this reality to the church of Sardis in Revelation 3, showing how Christians can appear alive yet spiritually dead when distracted by the world, living with one foot in the Lord and one in the world. Believers are exhorted to be watchful, strengthen what remains of their faith, repent, and remember the authority given to them in Christ. Through the example of Joshua and the priests at Jericho, Lisa illustrates how the seven spirits symbolize divine power and intercession, equipping believers to stand firm, blow the trumpet of warning, intercede for others, and bring down spiritual walls through the name of Jesus. The message emphasizes that even if a believer feels unworthy or distant, the authority of Christ remains within them through the Holy Spirit. By confession, repentance, faith, and speaking the Word, Christians can walk in deliverance, healing, and victory. Ultimately, this teaching calls believers to embrace their role as priests, live watchfully, and operate in the fullness of the seven spirits of God, remembering always that they are more than conquerors through Christ. Written and/or Transcribed Teaching from Video Hello and welcome to the House of Faith Ministries. I'm Lisa Kain and I'm recording this teaching on Sunday, December 29th, 2024. Welcome. Let's open up in a word of prayer. Father God, we thank you for your word. Oh Lord, your word is so good, so filling. Let it be planted in our hearts and minds. Let our hearts and minds be prepared to hear your word that we receive it and it does not leave us. that we speak your word, that we apply your word, that we live by your word, and that your word encompass us through and through. Thank you for your word, and thank you for the power of your anointing and the name of Jesus and teaching us how to be more than a conqueror. In Jesus name we pray. Amen. Amen. I'm so glad you are here. I can't believe it's December 29, 2024, but it is. This will be my last teaching for 2024. We have so many teachings on our website. I hope you're blessed by the material. You know, if there's something that really touched you, communicate. Send me a message. Let's talk. And if there's questions you have, ask. Amen. All right. This teaching is going to be very cool, very interesting. And oh, I'm so excited about it. It's called the seven spirits of God. Let's go to our opening scripture here in Revelation 4:5 and Revelation 56. uh verse five in chapter four. And out of the throne proceeded lightnings and thunderings and voices and there were seven lamps of fire burning before the throne which are the seven spirits of God. And then in chapter 5 verse six and I beheld and lo in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts and in the midst of the elders stood a lamb as they had been slain having seven horns and seven eyes which are the seven spirits of God sent forth into all the earth. What are the seven spirits of God? This is very interesting because the lamb Jesus had has them. He has the seven eyes. He has the seven horns and he has this um thing that Jesus did which is to redeem us which he overcame. He conquered Satan. He conquered this world. He died. It may look like he didn't conquer it. You know, he was crucified. And at the time of his crucifixion when he was buried, he rose from the grave three days later, conquering it and having victory. Amen. That is what Jesus had. Now we the same spirit that was in Christ that raised him from the dead is going to raise us from the dead too. We have this opportunity of these seven spirits of God to be within us because we are co-join hes with Christ. We're adopted into the family as believers in Christ. So as a result, we have these seven spirits. So if Jesus had it, we have it. And that means we are more than conquerors because Jesus had the seven spirits of God and he conquered Do you want to conquer? But we're talking I'm going to be talking to a specific audience today. We're going to go talk about the church of Sardis. Let's go to Revelation 3:es 1-6. Says, "Unto the angel of the church in Sardis, write these things he that hath the seven spirits of God." Seven spirits of God. Look at this. And the seven stars. I know thy works. Wait a minute. So, we have the seven spirits of God and the stars. Yes, we do. Because we're believers in Christ. The moment that you confess Jesus as your Lord and Savior, that's what you have. Well, look at this. I know thy works that thou hast name that thou livest and are dead or a corpse. How could you have the seven spirits of God and be alive and dead at the same time? Isn't that very interesting? Who's he talking to? So, he's talking about believers who are alive and dead at the same time. Let's continue on. I want you to see. He's telling you to be watchful and strengthen the things which remain that are ready to die off. This is the audience he's talking to. You have a foot in the world and a foot in the Lord. You have asked the Lord to be your Lord and Savior. And if you recall my testimony that I've shared many times here, there were times I'd be on fire for God, months or years at a time, and then all of a sudden months would go by. God was a I I never thought of him. Never even prayed, nothing. That was my early days as a young woman. And I'm going to tell you, you don't realize it. It's happening, but you're you're living two worlds. And so what he's saying here, he's telling you that you have the seven stars, the seven spirits and the seven stars. You have this is yours. So he's telling you to be watchful. There are many people I know, believers and unbelievers, who want to put their head in the sand and don't want to watch the news. They don't want to know what's going on in the world. Well, guess what? Jesus says you need to be watchful. One of the reasons why you're not alive as a believer in Christ, which you ought to be, which you still have the authority, you just don't know it yet, is because you're not watching. Now, this is not an end times teaching video. We're actually going to be talking about deliverance here. But I want you to see that he's telling believers you need to be watchful. That's first thing you need to be doing because how can you understand what the Holy Spirit is telling you if you don't know what it's going to be applied for. He's, you know, this is one of the ways that the Lord communicates with us is through the acts of the world. We're to watch the unbelievers. Watch the unbelievers and watch what they're doing. That tells you a whole lot about where we are in end time events. So, he's telling you to be watchful. And then he says to strengthen the things which remain that are ready to die off. What does that mean? Now strengthen means to be resolute, confirm, establish, and then it's the remnant. There are things that you have like the authority that you have in Jesus that you're not using. And he's saying it's about ready to die off. And he's telling you to strengthen it. Which what does that word strengthen mean? to turn resolutely, confirm, establish. How can you establish the authority of the name of Jesus if you haven't been practicing it in the secret place with the Lord or you haven't been reading the scripture? You don't even know what scripture to quote because you're not watching it. You're not watching. You're not letting it fill you up because you're living two lives. Yes, you're a believer in Christ, but you're going to lose your resolute that that um yearning in you that you want something and you're going to fight for it. You know, there are some people who have this mind. They know absolutely no. I'm never getting cancer. I'm never going to get sick. And there are people who have never been sick in their entire life. They just don't get sick because in their mind, they don't get sick. You have that authority, by the way. You're just not using it. And he's telling you to shrink these strengthen these things off. They're about to die. That's what he says. Says, "For I have not found thy works perfect or leveled up satisfied before God." Your works are they're actually what's holding you back. You're not working for him or you're doing the minimal that you could and you're about to lose this. Watch this in verse three. Remember therefore how thou hast received and heard and hold fast and repent. He's telling you, go back to the day that you repented. Remember what you did. You were excited about the Lord. You came to the Lord and you were thrilled. You got water baptized. You were flying high on cloud nine. You were just way up there. And that word repent there means to think differently. All of a sudden, you're thinking differently because the Holy Spirit is now working in your mind, but the busyiness of the world has come in and distracted you or for some reason you're just not spending time with the Lord. You're not watching, you're not being diligent. You're one foot in, one foot out. And he's telling you to get out of this funk of being dual, you know, serving the devil and serving God. And by the way, Christians do serve the devil. just don't realize it. Anytime you complain or you judge somebody, that's doing the devil's job for him. Let him do his own job. We can we can do it's hard enough to do our own job without doing his job, too, right? So, let him do his own job. Says, "If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come on thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I come upon thee." By the way, you will know the hour of when the Lord returns. The scripture in Matthew 24 where it says, "No one knows the day nor the hour." Let me tell you, heard great teaching on that the other day. I wasn't going to share this, but I'm going to share it. Uh he was teaching how it's it's an Israeli thing. And when they're looking for the new moon, which is just right after sunset and dusk is is settling in, the sliver of the new moon will come up on the horizon. You have to be up high on a wall to see this, by the way. So when you become a believer, you are lifted up and you're like a light on the city, uh the city, the hill of the city. You are up there. Well, you the priests get up there and they're looking for that sliver of that new moon, but if they don't see it that day, they have to come back the next day. They don't know the day nor the hour because they don't know when the lunar calendar will begin. That's very interesting, isn't it? Let's continue on. So, you are a priest as someone who's in Christ. And if you're only doing stuff for yourself and you're not watching, you're not interceding, you still have authority in him. You still have his authority. Look at this. Let me show you that. But you you will be unaware of things going on because let's finish verse three. If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come on thee as a thief and thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee. Verse four, thou hast a few names, authority, character, even in Sardis, which have not defiled or soiled their garments. Whoa, wait a second here. You still have authority because you're a believer in Christ. You have the seven spirits of God in you. You have the stars in you. This is your gift that Christ gave you when you became a believer. you're just not practicing it. So, he's telling you, I want you to watch. I want you to pay attention. I want you to be that priest that's up on that hill. I want you to intercede for people because I want you to speak on your behalf and the authority that I've given you. And then I want you to speak on their behalf and the authority I've given you because you need to intercede for people. That's our responsibility by the way as believers in Christ. And then to not defile our garments. See, there are people even even if you're distracted, you're you're not living for Christ. You're not going after de uh devilish things. You're not going after um evil things. You're trying to be as good as you possibly can. So, you're not defiling your garments. You're not going after false gods and so so forth. They shall walk with me in white, for they are worthy. You see, you are worthy still. Sometimes we just have to remember and repent before the Lord and think differently. See, a lot of us too as believers, what's the first thing we do? We hear the doctor tell you something bad news. You believe it. When hey, wait a minute. I got the authority and the seven spirits of God is in me and was in Christ who raised the same spirit in Christ that was in Christ that raised him from the dead is going to do the same thing for me. Well then in that particular case I had the authority still even if I haven't been walking with him. So I have the chance to turn my mind from not listening to the doctor and listening to God. I still have that ability. And that is who I'm talking to is that particular audience today. You're you're not sure. You're like I I'm bad. I've been unworthy. I I can't do any. Yes, you can. You have that authority and you are more than a conqueror. We'll get to that. Says, "He that overcomemeth, subdue, conquer, the same shall be clothed in white raignment." See, you can overcome. Imagine, you know, uh there's things that the human body does is remarkable. Uh you're in a car accident, a car pins somebody down, that person can lift that car up and get that person out. That adrenaline, it's something that goes in our mind where, oh, I just got to lift this car and you do it. You don't even think twice. You don't think about a as yourself as a weak person or you just like, uh-uh, I got to save this person. And you're so focused on saving that person that you don't even realize you're lifting a car. Like Peter when he got out of the boat and he's walking on the water, he's like, "Hey." And then he realizes he he all of a sudden becomes aware, I'm walking the water. and he starts to sink. It's when you focus on Christ and you're going to stay above the water because you are an a conqueror. You are conquering the situation, whatever it may be. And I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my father and before his angels. He that hath an ear, let him hear what the spirit saith unto the churches. So Jesus is very clearly telling us we have this ability even if you're half and half in the word and uh not walking quite 100% with the Lord, you have the authority to stand forth in his word. And I hope that you get that because the fact that you're coming and searching me out to even listen to a message online outside of the church as an additional teaching, you're seeking, you're looking for something. understand that you have the authority to overcome. And if you have never confessed Jesus as your Lord and Savior and now you're interested, it's very easy to do. You just simply you can pause the video. You just say, "Jesus, I'm sorry." Because you know what? We have to acknowledge that we messed up and and we have. You just say, "Jesus, I'm sorry." and you just say, "I want to become a believer in you." And I'm speaking out to you because I I'm believing that you're alive. And as soon as you do that, your name is written in the Lamb's book of life. And then you can choose to be water baptized and then go walk in the anointing of the Holy Spirit. Take that and do it. He says to be watchful. And you need to be watching and aware of what's coming. You've got to be up on that city hill and be watching. Why? Because as a priest, what do priests do when you're watching? They'll blow the trumpet. Let's let's go see this principle in action because I think this is so fascinating seeing the seven spirits of God work. That's what this teaching is about. So, watch this. We're going to go to Joshua chapter 3, excuse me, chapter 6:es 3 and 4. And ye shall compass the city, all ye men of war. He's talking to the nation of Israel. And go round about the city once. Now, he's talking about Jericho. So he's coming in and he's going to be marching around the city. So he's telling, let me break it, let me finish reading scripture. I'll break it down. Thus shalt thou do six days. Verse four, and seven priests, the word priest, their sacred full one. So when you make a commitment with the Lord and you're not walking half and half, even though half and half, you still have your authority. But the moment you come together as one, now you're not just praying on your behalf and trying to take care of yourself and keep yourself from the enemy. you're also praying for others. That's when everything shifts, changes. Watch this. Says, "And the seven priests shall bear before the ark, seven trumpets of ram's horns, and the seventh day ye shall compass revolve surround the city seven times, and the priest shall blow with the trumpets." So, what's going on here? So, Joshua has crossed over the Jordan River. He's there. The whole nation of Israel is now in the promised land. God has given them the promised land. So at this point, God says, "I'm going to give you the city of Jericho. This the way you're going to take this city is you're going to march around the city once per day. Nobody can speak a word. Trumpets will blow." Let's let's let's digress a little bit and let's talk about trumpets. There's a feast called Rashashana or the feast of trumpets. Not very much spoken about this. the priests will blow the trumpet hundred times and um that's really the the priests the the Israeli priests have their thing with that but in all reality that has to do with the rapture that has to do with end times but what is the point of blowing a trumpet why do you have to blow a trumpet well if you're that priest and you're up on that wall and you're watching and you see the enemy coming, you blow the trumpet, you're telling the people, "Get ready for battle." So, when that trumpet is blown for the day, the rapture, the day of the Lord that comes, and he's going to blow seven trumpets in that that time period, seven-year time period where all that's going on. I'm not going to teach on that right now. But what's going to happen is he removes the church because God says, "I'm doing the battle. I'm going to battle. So the trumpet is just for us to be watching and be aware of that he's coming. So now these priests are told to march around the city once blow the trumpet and they do that for six days. So the seventh day now Joshua told him, I don't want you to say a word and until I tell you to shout. You don't do anything until I tell you to shout. So down in verse 20 in in chapter 6 he tells them to shout and this is what happens when they shout. This is on the seventh day after the seventh time they walked around the wall. So the people shouted or this means to mar split the ears when the priests blew with the trumpets. And it came to pass when the people heard the sound of the trumpet and the people shouted with a great great shout shout that the wall fell down flat. So that the people went up into the city, every man straight before him, and they took the city. What is the seven spirits of God? The seven priests who represented the seven spirits of God blew the trumpet. They are the ones who alerted. Jesus was blowing the trumpet and letting us know what's going on. And that trumpet is going, the last trump is going to blow. And when it does, we're going to go. But look what happened here. The walls fell down. Watch this in deliverance. Now imagine you are dealing with a spiritual matter. Somebody has cancer in your family or something. This is something we're dealing with here personally in our personal testimony dealing with my mom and this cancer. Well, one of the things that we have the opportunity to do is we are priest priestesses where we are interceding on behalf of others. We can march around that wall that issue could be finances. We had the name of Jesus who is who has the seven spirits of God. And so when you practice bringing in the the seven spirits of God, the name of Jesus, you come in and you apply the name of Jesus on that situation. And what happens is you come to the I thank you, Lord. Psalm 107 tells you when you go to come back from a troubled situation, you're coming back and you're saying, Lord, I'm sorry. Then you say, "I thank you for getting me out of the situation I'm in." The moment that you do that, the walls fall down. Your mountain, whatever it may be, falls down. And I'm not kidding you. Sicknesses, diseases, everything has to run from the name of Jesus. You have to get that in your mind and understand that the power and the authority you have, even if you're only living one foot in the world and one foot out, you can say in the name of Jesus, and every demon has to run, every sickness has to run, every wall must fall down. The people shouted, "This is when you get to shout. Shout your victory." and those walls come tumbling down because it's already done. Who fights your battles for you? Christ. He's fighting the battles for you. So when that rapture happens, we come home in our perfect new bodies. We're the bride of Christ. We come in and we are complete in him. and he takes care of the battle down on the earth. And we already know he he sends a small angel to go take care of the devil and and we'll be standing there looking at the devil going that small thing is what bugged us all this time. You get this thinking in your mind where you are, I'm going to walk in the authority that I have. I'm not going to believe what's in the world. I'm going to believe what God has. What a change this does. Look at 1 John 4:4. Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome you, conquered, you prevail them because greater is he that is in you than he that is in the world. Oh, we have this authority and we have the seven spirits of God in us that will teach us and show us how to battle, praise, and worship. the trumpets as a musical instrument went first. Imagine learning the principles of singing a song and praising the Lord and then coming in with the name of Jesus. And remember what he said, I give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven. Whatever you bind on earth is bound in heaven. Whatever you loose on earth is loosed in heaven. Now imagine taking that key and you are applying it here on earth. And what you do here on earth when you're shouting and you have your trumpet blown, you're acting that priest. You have both feet in the Lord. You're not only keeping yourself protected, but you're also interceding on those behind you, but uh around you that couldn't do it for themselves, but they can if they wanted to. But you can intercede on their behalf. And when you do, you can actually see the Holy Spirit move through them. change them, transform them. And you can see how God shows us we are more than conquerors. And all it takes is think differently. Repent, which is think differently. Don't think on the world, think on the Lord. And and it comes with confession, too. Romans 10:9 that if you confess if thou if thou confess if thou shalt confess let me read it correctly which means a covenant or acknowledge with thy mouth the Lord Jesus you're saying all right Lord Jesus I'm confessing that you are Lord over cancer you are Lord over my finance I've taught this many times you are Lord over this body as soon as you start doing that and believe and shalt believe or have faith in thy heart where Their thoughts and feelings are that God has raised or awakened him from the dead. You see, Jesus came out of the grave and he's alive. And a lot of people think, "No, no, no. That man's already dead. He was a good prophet. He did good things." But no, you have to believe that God woke him up, got him out of the grave. So, as you confess Jesus, you're saying, "All right, Jesus. So, you're alive. All right. If this is real, I I'm calling on you. I'm going to be genuine here and I don't know what I'm doing, but I'm going to trust in you because I I have nowhere else to go. I have no what else to I can do. And when you do that, Jesus will show himself to you and be revealed. And look what he says. He says, "Raised him from the dead. Thou shalt be saved." That word saved there means delivered, protected, healed, preserved. That's what God does for you. That's the seven spirits of God. You have that authority. Even if you don't think that you do, if you've called on Jesus, you have his name. You have his authority. These seven spirits, the same spirit that was in Christ that raised Christ from the dead is in you to raise you from the dead. The church of Sardis was alive and dead at the same time. They're walking on this earth, but they're dead because they're not watching. They're not paying attention. They're not acting the name of Jesus. They're not applying it. They're not in scripture. But you still have the authority. You have the authority because God didn't leave you. He's working with you. In fact, the fact that you're listening to this teaching tells me he's working in you. And he brought you to this teaching to encourage you and to lift you up and to let you know he's not forgotten you, that he's not let go of you. You tried to move away from him, but he's been there with you the entire time. And by the way, you know this. You're just being reminded of it. How amazing is it to have God not leave us? He keeps us. This is what power and authority that we have is to stay in his presence. And every time you spend time in his presence, in his word, just absorbing it and you you try to and you start expressing, you start quoting scripture. I mean, before you know it, you'll be quoting scriptures. I promise you that. But as you do that, you begin to take your authority. You begin to be that priest who's not only taking care of yourself, you're taking care of those around you. And you're on the wall watching and waiting. You're diligent. You're looking what's going on, Lord. You're just watching. You're waiting. You're spending time in the spirit where you are hearing him and he's showing you things in dreams and visions. That's what this is about. Because remember, his plan is still in the works, not about our plan. His plan, he has his perfect thoughts for us. And his will for us is just to believe in him. That's all you you you keep wondering what what's your what what do you want me to do, Lord? He says, I just want you to believe. You know what the word believe means is to have faith. He does say we can have faith even as small as a mustard seed. And with that faith, we can stand in the name of Jesus and walk in that authority. Let's close in a word of prayer. Father God, we thank you for your word. Thank you for reminding us of the authority that we have. Thank you for reminding us how to be watchful and diligent. Thank you for reminding us to get both our feet in you. Thank you for reminding us of who you are, what you have done. Thank you for reminding us that we have the ability to walk free of sickness and diseases, free of conflict of of being torn apart. We have your healing and protection around us because you are our deliverer and you have taught us how to be more than conquerors. And I pray, Father God, that we begin walking with the seven spirits of you. That we begin naming the name of Jesus and the authority that we have over our situations and calling out the name of Jesus for you are great and you are greater in than this world. So we acknowledge that. We pull you into our hearts and we want you in here, Father God, walking and changing us and helping us walk in that change, helping us talk to you, helping us have that relationship with you. Thank you, Lord. Thank you, Lord. In the name of Jesus, we pray. Amen. Amen. God bless you and I will see you next year. Bye. Home Watch the Video Teaching

  • PRAY FOR HOLLYWOOD | House of Faith Ministries (HoFM)

    Say this prayer out loud: Mighty Heavenly Father, I lift up the entertainment industry, the music industry, and Hollywood to Your throne room and I forgive them of their iniquities, the sins they have committed, the curses against them, the curses spoken from them, and the sins of the land they walk on; and I ask You heavenly Father to forgive as them well per Matthew 6:14 KJV “14 For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you:” Demons, loose the entertainment, music industry, and Hollywood: the Lord rebuke you per Jude 1:9 “9 Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil he disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing accusation, but said, The Lord rebuke thee.” I bind you with fetters of iron to the iron below my feet here on earth preventing you from interfering in the entertainment, music industry and Hollywood ever again per Matthew 16:19 KJV “19 And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.” And per Psalm 149:6-9 KJV “6 Let the high praises of God be in their mouth, and a two-edged sword in their hand; 7 To execute vengeance upon the heathen, and punishments upon the people; 8 To bind their kings with chains, and their nobles with fetters of iron; 9 To execute upon them the judgment written: this honour have all his saints. Praise ye the Lord.” Father God, I bless the entertainment, music industry and Hollywood with open ears, eyes, hearts, and minds to see, hear, receive, and believe the living Word of God because you state in Mark 4:12 KJV “12 That seeing they may see, and not perceive; and hearing they may hear, and not understand; lest at any time they should be converted, and their sins should be forgiven them.” I pray in hope that they see and perceive, hear and understand so they would believe in Jesus the Son of the living God! And Heavenly Father, I bless the entertainment, music industry and Hollywood with softened hearts to be able to perceive and live by Your Word because even you showed the disciples how hard their hearts were when they didn’t believe when You rose from the dead: Mark 16:14 KJV “14 Afterward he appeared unto the eleven as they sat at meat, and upbraided them with their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they believed not them which had seen him after he was risen.” I also bless the entertainment, music industry and Hollywood with a spirit of reconciliation because that is the ministry You have given us. Let the spirit of God move forth in the hearts of the people working in the entertainment industry, the music industry, and Hollywood to forgive and reconcile the nation back to Jesus, the Son of God as Paul states in 2 Corinthians 5:18-19 KJV “18 And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation; 19 To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.” I pray that the entertainment, music industry and Hollywood are restored into the joy of salvation, and to the paths of righteousness as the following scriptures state: Psalm 23:3 KJV “He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.” Psalm 51:12 KJV “Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free spirit.” I pray that the fruit of the spirit stated in Galatians 5:22-23 KJV “22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, 23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.” manifests within the hearts of the entertainment industry and Hollywood. We take back the entertainment, music industry and Hollywood declaring godliness and righteousness to be portrayed through this medium; that they bring the Bible to life showing the world a true visible representation of the Bible in love. I pray that the gifts of the holy spirit stated in 1 Corinthians 12:7-12 KJV “7 But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal. 8 For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit; 9 To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit; 10 To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues: 11 But all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will. 12 For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ.” would unite the body of Christ under one leadership, the Holy Spirit and that the Spirit of God moves through each of us so that we know what to pray, how to pray, when to pray, and praise the living God in all that we do. And gracious Heavenly Father, we praise You as Psalm 150:1-6 KJV says “150 Praise ye the Lord. Praise God in his sanctuary: praise him in the firmament of his power. 2 Praise him for his mighty acts: praise him according to his excellent greatness. 3 Praise him with the sound of the trumpet: praise him with the psaltery and harp. 4 Praise him with the timbrel and dance: praise him with stringed instruments and organs. 5 Praise him upon the loud cymbals: praise him upon the high sounding cymbals. 6 Let every thing that hath breath praise the Lord. Praise ye the Lord.” You are praised because You are. We now walk forward in peace knowing that You and Your angels are moving behind the scenes doing what You need to do to accomplish Your will as Psalm 103:20 KJV says “20 Bless the Lord, ye his angels, that excel in strength, that do his commandments, hearkening unto the voice of his word.” In the Name of Jesus, the Son of the living God we pray in unity, Amen!PRAY FOR HOLLYWOOD PRAY FOR HOLLYWOOD PRAY FOR HOLLYWOOD Say this prayer out loud: Mighty Heavenly Father, I lift up the entertainment industry, the music industry, and Hollywood to Your throne room and I forgive them of their iniquities, the sins they have committed, the curses against them, the curses spoken from them, and the sins of the land they walk on; and I ask You heavenly Father to forgive as them well per Matthew 6:14 KJV “14 For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you:” Demons, loose the entertainment, music industry, and Hollywood: the Lord rebuke you per Jude 1:9 “9 Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil he disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing accusation, but said, The Lord rebuke thee.” I bind you with fetters of iron to the iron below my feet here on earth preventing you from interfering in the entertainment, music industry and Hollywood ever again per Matthew 16:19 KJV “19 And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.” And per Psalm 149:6-9 KJV “6 Let the high praises of God be in their mouth, and a two-edged sword in their hand; 7 To execute vengeance upon the heathen, and punishments upon the people; 8 To bind their kings with chains, and their nobles with fetters of iron; 9 To execute upon them the judgment written: this honour have all his saints. Praise ye the Lord.” Father God, I bless the entertainment, music industry and Hollywood with open ears, eyes, hearts, and minds to see, hear, receive, and believe the living Word of God because you state in Mark 4:12 KJV “12 That seeing they may see, and not perceive; and hearing they may hear, and not understand; lest at any time they should be converted, and their sins should be forgiven them.” I pray in hope that they see and perceive, hear and understand so they would believe in Jesus the Son of the living God! And Heavenly Father, I bless the entertainment, music industry and Hollywood with softened hearts to be able to perceive and live by Your Word because even you showed the disciples how hard their hearts were when they didn’t believe when You rose from the dead: Mark 16:14 KJV “14 Afterward he appeared unto the eleven as they sat at meat, and upbraided them with their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they believed not them which had seen him after he was risen.” I also bless the entertainment, music industry and Hollywood with a spirit of reconciliation because that is the ministry You have given us.

  • ESTHER FREEDOM BEYOND THE LAW | House of Faith Ministries (HoFM)

    ESTHER FREEDOM BEYOND THE LAW Written Teaching Minister Lisa Kane June 20, 2024 Objective The objective of this message is to reveal the biblical principle of freedom in Christ by comparing the unchangeable proclamations in Esther’s time with God’s eternal law, and to show that while the law exposes sin, true liberty and victory are found in the redemptive work of Jesus Christ. Synopsis In this continuation of the Women of the Bible series, Lisa Kane teaches her second message on Esther, titled Freedom Beyond the Law. Beginning with Esther 3:13, the lesson examines Haman’s decree to destroy the Jews and Esther’s courageous intercession before the king. Though the king could not revoke the decree, he authorized a counter-proclamation empowering the Jews to defend themselves. This parallel illustrates how God’s law, while holy, cannot be undone; instead, Christ fulfilled the law and established a new covenant that sets believers free. Lisa then moves to the Ten Commandments in Exodus 20, explaining how the law identifies sin and reveals human inability to remain righteous in their own strength. She highlights the generational consequences of sin, the danger of idolatry, and the tendency to place routines, possessions, or desires above God. The message emphasizes that the law brings bondage, but Christ’s sacrifice—His blood upon the mercy seat—redeems believers and breaks curses, granting freedom from condemnation. Drawing on Colossians 2, 1 Corinthians 6 and 15, and Galatians 3, Lisa underscores that believers are new creations, no longer bound by ordinances or human doctrines. Instead, they are called to walk in the Spirit, stand on God’s promises, and exercise faith for healing, provision, and victory. Through testimonies and scriptural application, she shows how living in Christ’s freedom transforms mindsets, renews strength, and empowers a life of joy and spiritual authority. The message concludes with an exhortation to embrace liberty in Christ, seek first God’s kingdom, and reject the weight of man’s traditions and the law’s condemnation. By choosing to walk in the Spirit, believers can live in the fullness of God’s promises and testify of His power. Written and/or Transcribed Teaching from Video Hello and welcome to the House of Faith Ministries. I'm Lisa Kaine. I'm recording this message on Thursday, June 20th, 2024. Welcome. Let us open up in a word of prayer. Father God, we thank you for your word. We thank you for the freedom that your word has given us and what you have done on the cross to save us. Thank you, Father God. I pray that the audience listening to this message hears your Holy Spirit. Move me aside. Let the Holy Spirit speak to their ears and their heart and let them listen and act upon your word and apply that word to their lives. In the glorious name of Jesus, we pray. Amen. Amen. All right. I'm still in the Women of the Bible series. We're going to be here for a long time. So, this is going to be my second teaching on Esther. So, this one's going to be called Freedom Beyond the Law. Let's go to our opening scripture. This is in Esther 3:13. And the letters were sent by post into all the king's provinces to destroy, to kill, and to cause to perish all Jews, both young and old, little children and women, in one day, even upon the 13th day of the 12th month, which is the month of Adar, and to take the spoil of them for a prey. So, when I taught on Esther last week, I went in and I showed you where she was in the timeline of events. And at the end of the teaching, because I didn't get into the proclamations that Hmon, a demon-possessed Agatite who hated the Jews and was an the was an enemy of the Jews. Um, I didn't get into the proclamations and I I hinted at the end of it the freedom that we have from this. So, I thought let's go into that a little bit more this week. And um, it was so fascinating because when I got up Sunday morning, this is a Thursday and I got up Sunday morning and it was Saturday night as I was thinking and dwelling on this message, I had the confirmation there and it was such a beautiful time. So, praising the Lord. So what you just read, this is the proclamation that Hmon was able to trick the king with. The king gave him his signate ring and said, "Go write whatever proclamation you want against his people. He lied to these people." So I taught on that last week. You can go check that out. Uh it's not a precursor for this. You will understand this message without it. But if you want more information, it is there. So when he writes his proclamation, this is what he's telling. He says, "Everybody who isn't a Jew in all the provinces of the king, you are allowed to destroy to kill." Who destroys and kills? Satan. He is the thief, the killer, the destroyer, the liar. And Hmon took that role here and played the devils and and played being the devil. And he had this proclamation written in the king's signant. and and it looks and to cause to perish all Jews both young and old little children and women on one day even upon the 13th day of the 12th month which is the month Adar and to take the spoil of them for a prey. Now what happened is Esther being a Jew they didn't know she was a Jew she's the one who had to go to the king and beg for her people to live. Hmon was exposed for who he was. He was hung on gallows that was supposed to hang Morai, Esther's uncle. Go read the book of Esther. It is a fascinating quick read and it will give you an idea of what's going on here. So now that Hmon is dead, this proclamation exists. Esther asks the king to reverse it. But the king cannot, whatever is created as a proclamation cannot be reversed. That's fascinating. So now what happened is the king said to Mori and his counsel, "Go write a new proclamation." This is good. I hope you guys get this message. This is this is a good one. Okay. So here it is in Esther 8 11 and 12. Wherein the king granted the Jews which were in every city too. So this is the proclamation the Jews wrote to gather themselves together and to stand for their life to destroy to slay and to cause to perish all the power of the people and province that would assault them both little ones and women and to take the spoil of them for a prey upon one day in all the provinces of King Ahasheras namely upon the 13th day of the 12th month which is the month of Adar. So now on this 13th day of this 12th month, there are two live king proclamations acting and they are against one another, if you will. So you have this um proclamation that says if you're non-Jewish, you can go kill every Jew, old, young, male, female, doesn't matter. You kill anyone and you take their spoils on this day. Well, then the Jews wrote an anti- proclamation in the sense of if you're a Jew, you can defend yourself. And when you defend yourself, what you're going to do is you can kill anyone who assaults you and you take their spoil. So now the outcome is, and I I didn't bring the scriptures in here due to time, but the outcome is that this day came and pass. And when it came in pass, um, not one Jew was killed. However, 75,000 non-Jewish people were killed in the outer provinces and it was either 300 or 500 um, uh, non-Jewish that were killed in the Shushon Palace, which is where the king reside and where Queen Esther and Morai lived. So what does that mean? So, how can the king write a province and it not be reversed? What where does this come from? Let's go take a look at the ten commandments because they're commandments and they're the law. Are they still profitable today? What does the law do for us? So, this teaching is called freedom beyond the law. And I want to show you. So I have to show you the law here and then we can take the principle that Esther and King Aasheras did and apply it to what Jesus is doing. This is why the book of Esther is in the Bible. A lot of theologians don't even know this or understand it. So let's get into this and watch how this works. So we're going to the Ten Commandments. We're going to start here in Exodus 20. We're going to go through verses 3 through 17. Verse three, thou shalt have no other gods before me. Okay. So, if you think you don't have a God before you, Christian or non-Christian, whoever you are watching this, let me just simply ask you this. When the TV isn't on, um, you're not doing it. You're just sitting there. What do you do? You pick up your cell phone and you go to Instagram, Tik Tok, YouTube, and you watch what entertains you. That's a form of a God because at that moment, you didn't put God first. At that moment, you are dwelling in your own world. Now, that's not to say you have to have God in your life 24/7 as an active thing. You do have your rest period. This is why God has uh created the Sabbath day, which we're going to show that here in just a minute. But had you read your Bible that day, had you prayed that day, had you put God first when you woke up, did you put God first when you went to bed? You see, a lot of people don't do that. Or how about even just pressing in? Lord, I want to find out more about this. I'm going to go take an active approach and study it. Nine out of ten times we don't do that. Why? Because our lives are in a routine. And when you follow that routine, that becomes a godlike thing. Either way, whether you're doing that or you're not, this is just one commandment out of 10. So, it could be that you have a god before you. I had a dream years ago going down the sidetrack rabbit trail here. Um there were all these uh images carved out of a mountain and I mean they were huge and there were several of them. I I don't know the number of them but one fell. It was coming to a car and I remember we were be in this bus and I was looking out the back window. I go you need to drive faster. It's coming. It was the impact of it hitting the ground, the ground shaking and rock flying everywhere. And I had this dream and we had passed this bridge, got on the other side and we were fine. But I do believe that meant deliverance of whatever image I was dealing with at the time. This was many, many, many years ago. But even so, that's something I have to be forgiven of, right? Because I had a god before me. Now look at verse four. For thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. How many times do we have a picture of Jesus either on the cross hanging around our neck or up on the wall? H thou shalt not bow down thyself to them. And by the way, this particular commandment is very important. It's talking about not making any graving images and bowing down to them. Remember in Esther when Hmon was promoted as second in command, one of the things that he liked was everyone bowing down to him and he took it as a law, a commandment. And Morortei said, I'm not bowing down to you. And Mori didn't. So this is why Mori didn't. Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them. These are those graven images. Nor serve them. For I, the Lord thy God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me, and showing mercy unto thousands of them that love me and keep my commandments. So, in other words, when you sin, you especially when you're putting another God as a more important factor in your life or your job or whatever it may be. It's more important than God himself. He's going to visit the iniquities that you have to your children, your grandchildren, and your great-grandchildren. And which means you are in a position where your great grandparents sinned, your grandparents send, your parents sin is on you. So there is a generational factor behind you older than you and to your future that hasn't happened. This is where sicknesses and diseases come in from because nobody gets nobody is or many are not going forward to be forgiven of these generational curses. You need to be forgiven of that. Go to the houseof faith ministries.org. Go to the empowering prayers section. It's in the menu bar there. And you will find there's a prayer. You scroll down regarding generational curses. Say that prayer. will break you of these curses. But this is one of the commandments that we have. And it's because we put something above God in our lives. That's an iniquity. And I'm going to tell you right now, everybody does it. What? So, what is this telling me? What's this law telling me? It's telling me I'm a sinner and I cannot prevent myself from doing that. I'll try. It's like dieting. You try, you try, you fail. You have to do it with Jesus. Oh, we're going to get into that here in just a moment. Verse seven, thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain, for the Lord will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain. How many, you know, in our youth, I'm sure we've done that. Or gee, damn it. You know, these are the things that we've spoken and we need to be forgiven of them. And what is the law showing us? We are sinners. We have sinned. Verse eight, remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy. How many of us work ourselves unto the ground? God rested. He set a pre principle, a precedent for us to rest on the seventh day. So, we're to work six days and rest the seventh day. And we don't do that. Or a lot of people don't do that. They become workaholics. And you're killing yourself slowly but surely. And then uh verse 9 goes into that sixth day shalt thou labor and do all thy work. Verse 10, but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord thy God. In it thou shalt not do any work, thou or thy son, nor thy daughter, thy man's servant, nor thy maid servant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates. For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day. Wherefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day, and hallowed it. So, we are to rest, you know, and to give you an example, we work several months in a row. We have our weekends, but we have to work on our weekends to do all of the chores around the house. But then we go on a vacation, take a two week vacation. That's not honoring the Sabbath day. That is not resting. Now, going to church, is that a Sabbath day? You go to church, you you receive more of the Holy Spirit, hear the word of God. The Sabbath day is above and beyond that. I hope you get that. As for another teaching on verse 12, honor thy father and thy mother, that thy days may be long upon the land which the Lord God giveth thee. There's a big one. A lot of people hate their parents and don't want to be like their parents and don't want to have anything to do with their parents or are determined not to be like their parents. And that's okay. You can be you you don't have to be like your parents, but you need to honor them. And even if you know that they're wrong, you honor them. And what happens is they will see what's going on. But it gives you it you have the freedom to a long life. Otherwise, you cut your life short if you're you're not honoring your parents. Uh verse 13, thou shalt not kill. Verse 14, thou shalt not commit adultery. Verse 15, thou shalt not steal. These are part of all of the ten commandments. Thou shalt, Verse 16, thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor. Thou shalt not coveret thy neighbor's house. Thou shalt not cover thy neighbor's wife wife, nor his man's servant, nor his maid servant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor anything that is thy neighbors. Those are the ten commandments. That's what we're told. And what is the first thing we do? We break them. We may not break all of them, but we do break a good portion of them because we're conceived and born in sin. So, every time you go back to the law, you put yourself in bondage because the law tells you you are a sinner. The only one who can redeem you of sin is Christ the Messiah. Let's go to Colossians 2:es 20- 22. Wherefore, if ye be dead with Christ, now the moment you become a believer, you become a new creation, which means you die to yourself. You die to all those generational curses. You die to the law. You You're dead from the law. You are separated from it. I hope you get this message. Look at this. Wherefore, if ye be dead with Christ from the rudiments of the world, the law talks to the world. The law talks to the sinner. The law tells you you're a sinner. That is to the world. So from the rudiments of the world, why as though living in the world are ye subject to ordinances. Look at this. touch not, taste not, hand, handle not, which all are to perish with the using after the commandments and doctrines of many. How many times do we follow somebody who says, well, if you drink a little w or water with your lemon juice in the morning, your liver's going to love it. Or, you know, why go to the commandments of men? because they're not teaching you the freedom that Christ gave you from the law. You are not part of that anymore. You do not need to touch that. Oh, I hope you get this. Think of it like this. The law tells you you're a sinner. Thou shalt not kill. But in your mind, if you hate somebody, you're killing that person. You're committing murder. whether you know it or not. And by the way, you're not given a reprieve due to ignorance that you are held responsible for that. So now we're talking about the thoughts and the inward man who cannot keep the law. Only Jesus was the one that can do it. And it was his blood that had to fall on the mercy seat which is on the ark of the covenant which is where the ten commandments were housed. His blood was placed on that mercy seat and he redeemed us. He saved us. He acqui we were acquitted. He gave us the pardon that we needed. And now if you stay away from all those things, you get to walk spiritually. Your eternity has already begun spiritually. You are free to do whatever you want. It may not benefit the people around you, but you're free to do it. If you want to smoke a cigarette and you're a Christian, go for it. Now, if you're doing it in front of others, oh, that's a shameful thing. You have the freedom to do it. They just haven't learned yet that they have that same freedom. And by the way, that cigarette won't have any consequence to you. If you were a smoker 20 years ago and you became a Christian five years ago and you've had that cigarette smoke growing in your lungs, let me tell you the freedom you have. Your lungs are pink and brand new because you are a new creature in Christ because by his stripes you were healed. I had a tumble the other day. I face planted or it was more of a bo a belly flop on the concrete if you will. It's a it was a hard fall. Got my knee injured and my hands a little scraped up. I got up and when I got up I stood up and said, "No weapon formed against me shall prosper." Then I went on to say, "By his stripes, I was healed." Do you know I didn't have to take a single thing? I was a little tender, a little sore, but other than that, and when I first looked at my knee, especially, it was really red. The redness was gone. By the time I got to a bathroom, I fell at the school uh church parking lot. By the time I got to a restroom to clean it up and everything, it was gone. That's the power we walk in now in the spiritual realm. I hope you guys are getting this. Look at um 1 Corinthians 6:11-12. And such were some of you, but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the spirit of our God. All things are lawful unto me. Smoking a cigarette's lawful, but all things are not expedient. All things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any. Now, what happens when you smoke a cigarette? your body depends on it or alcohol it becomes dependent. So it is not beneficial in the long term of things. And let me also tell you this when you do have a serious transformation with Christ yes your insides change. You become a new creation but it changes the way you think. You have no more desires for any of that because it's built within. It's spiritual. Now, look at what he says here in 1 Corinthians 15:56. The sting of death is sin, and the strength of sin is the law. See, I'm free from the law. I'm I don't have to live by that law anymore. I get to say scripture, quote it over my body, and walk in freedom. I don't have to worry about any ten commandments or anything because the love of God is now within me and I'm walking with the spirit of God quoting scripture and my life is transformed as a result. 1 Corinthians 7:23-24. You're bought with a price. You see, every time you go back to the law, you negate the price Jesus prayed for you. He's on the cross. He died for you. Rose from the grave. Don't put him back on the cross. Nail the sin to the cross. Amen. Ye are bought with a price, but ye but not ye the servants of men. Brethren, let every man wherein he is called therein abide with God. You see, the reason I get to walk in the benefits of the Lord is because Matthew 6:33 says, "Seek first the kingdom of God." I go and I minister to people. I teach here, ministering to you, the listener. I go and I lay hands on people and pray because I'm expecting the Holy Spirit to move in and meet their need. I also seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness. I choose to walk in godliness. I choose to walk in freedom, not the law. I just choose to be good and do things that are good because that is the calling that Christ has on my life. Seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness and then all these things will be added unto me. That is scriptural. And because I walk in scripture, I'm blessed. And people get jealous and envious of it. Well, you can have this, too. You're free from the law. The moment you confess Jesus as your Lord and Savior, you're free from the law. And every time you face a situation, quote the name of Jesus. Jesus, you're over for my finances. Jesus, you're over this doctor's report of cancer. Guess what? You don't even have to go back to the doctors ever again. You're free from the law. You see, the doctors tell you you've got cholesterol because of this number or you have type 2 diabetes because of this number. God is the one who controls my death. I'm going to die when he wants me to die. I'm not going to listen to the doctrines of men and what they think is true. especially since they keep changing the numbers over and over again to get more and more people on the drugs and the pills that are related to it. But you get to have freedom from that. I just wouldn't listen to the doctor. I remember hearing a story years ago, years, this is 30 plus years ago of a woman who was diagnosed with cancer. Basically, the doctor told her, "Go home, set your your house in order. You're going to die." She got home and and she was very embarrassed. So, she had shut her windows, but she went before the Lord, covered, put her shades up, and said, "Lord, I I I don't know what this is. I I don't want to have this. I'm going to just choose to come to you and praise you and worship you." And he told her to dance, and the scriptures do tell you to dance. She read about David and she got up and started dancing. And every day she started dancing. And before you know it, she forgot to put the shades down because she was just praising the Lord. Didn't matter who saw her. Six weeks later, she goes in and doctor tells her, "Whatever you're doing, keep doing it because it's working." That's the freedom you have. And I hope you're grasping this. 1 Corinthians 12:13, "For by one spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free, and have been made and have been all made to drink into one spirit." You see, it's the spirit of God now that moves in your life. He's the predominant one. He's the one that sets you free from the law. This is the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit came down on the day of Pentecost. We are filled with that same Holy Spirit. We get to walk in the freedom from the law. Yes. Get that. Get that. We have the spirit. Galatians 3:27-29. For as many of you as been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek. There is neither bond nor free. There is neither male nor female. For ye are all one in Christ Jesus. And if ye be Christ, then are ye Abraham's seeds seed and hes according to the promise. Oh, I just taught on Sarah and the promise with Abraham a few weeks ago. You can go check out those messages. Let me tell you, you are free from the law. Don't go back to men telling you how to live, men telling you what to do. Go be free and let Christ renew the transformation of you every single day as you grow closer to him. Stand in his word. Press into his word. Memorize those scriptures and quote them when you need to. Because I'm telling you, even though that enemy is out to steal, kill, and destroy, and he's prowling around you like a lion, guess what? Jesus is the lion of the tribe of Judah. And he is my Lord and my Savior. He is my friend, and he is King of glory. And I give him all the glory, praise, and honor, and strength for I walk with him. I choose to walk in the spirit. I choose to see things spiritually, not physically. I choose to walk in Christ and not the law, not the doctrines of men. I'm not going to listen to the world tell me how to live, how much water to drink, how much I should be moving or walking. No, I choose to walk in Christ. And as a result, I'm hoping that the Holy Spirit just bubbles out of me everywhere and splashes on everybody. And that is what my hope and expectation is walking with Christ. So when I quote his scripture and I pray over people, I pray in faith. I activate things in faith because God likes to work by faith. Very well. You want to work by faith. This is what your word said. No weapon formed against me shall prosper. My youth is renewed like the eagle. Psalm 103. Get in there and get that. I don't have to. Yeah, I'm going to turn 55 this year. I don't have to act like a 55year-old or be a 55year-old because my youth is renewed like the eagles. So when I do a belly flop on the concrete, guess what? I stand up because as a kid I fell on the ground then too and I healed rapidly. That's the faith we're talking about. Friends, I hope that you choose to walk in the freedom that you have with the spirit of God. Choose that, my friend. Let's close in a word of prayer. Father God, we thank you for your word. We thank you for building up our faith and our strength in you, Father God. We thank you for your glory because you did this. And I pray that you continue to manifest and move through us. We have a revival in you that we transform inside and walk by faith. You are precious and glorious. I pray that we do not forget this message, but that we apply it to our lives. speak your word over our bodies and walk in the spirit in the name of Jesus. Amen. Amen. Amen. God bless you. I will see you in the next message. Bye-bye. Home Watch the Video Teaching

  • RIZPAH: BLOOD CURSE | House of Faith Ministries (HoFM)

    RIZPAH: BLOOD CURSE Written Teaching Minister Lisa Kane July 18, 2024 Objective The objective of this message is to teach believers the importance of understanding both blessings and curses, how they affect individuals, families, and entire nations, and how forgiveness and intercession can break cycles of judgment. By examining the story of Rizpah, King Saul, the Gibeonites, and King David, the message emphasizes the consequences of covenant-breaking, the inheritance of curses, and the role of prayer and mercy in restoring God’s blessing and rain upon the land. Synopsis In this teaching, Lisa Kane continues her series on women in the Bible, focusing on Rizpah, a concubine of King Saul and the mother of two of his sons. The message begins with 2 Samuel 21:1, where a three-year famine during King David’s reign is revealed to be a result of Saul’s violation of Israel’s covenant with the Gibeonites. Saul’s act of bloodshed against a protected people brought a generational curse upon the land. Lisa explains the history of the Gibeonites, tracing their covenant with Israel back to Joshua 9, where they used trickery to secure protection but nonetheless became bound under Israel’s oath before God. Because Saul broke this covenant, the famine was a direct judgment from God. David, seeking atonement, delivers seven descendants of Saul—including Rizpah’s two sons—to the Gibeonites, who hang them to satisfy justice. The message highlights Rizpah’s grief and perseverance as she guarded the bodies of her sons from birds and beasts until the rains returned. Her vigil displayed both mourning and a desperate connection to the consequences of sin and covenant-breaking. David, moved by her devotion, later gathers the bones of Saul, Jonathan, and the executed sons, burying them with honor. Only then does the curse lift, and God restores rain to the land. Lisa draws out the principle that curses can affect entire generations, but forgiveness, repentance, and mercy can restore blessing. She warns against the spiritual dangers of covenant-breaking, murder, and bitterness—contrasting Rizpah’s suffering with David’s merciful actions. The teaching concludes with an exhortation for believers today to intercede for their families, churches, and lands, forgiving sins, nullifying curses, and claiming God’s inheritance of rain and restoration. Written and/or Transcribed Teaching from Video Hello and welcome to the House of Faith Ministries. I'm Lisa Kaine. I'm recording this message on Thursday, July 18th, 2024. Welcome. Let's open up in a word of prayer. Father God, we thank you for your word and we bless your word that it does not return void. And we pray and ask that our ears are open to listen to your word. That we hear it and that we listen to it. apply it, obey it, and uh realize what curses and blessings do and take it upon ourselves to see those curses and blessings in our lives and to recognize it and to know what to do with them, Father God. And I thank you for your word in the name of Jesus. Amen. Amen. Amen. I've been talking about women in the Bible and we're going to continue to do so. And we're going to be talking about a gal named Rispa. And I'm titling this message Risbot blood curse. All right, let's go to our opening scripture here in 2 Samuel 21:1. Then there was a famine or a hunger in the days of David three years, year after year, and David inquired. That word inquired says, "Search out the face that turns." So he inquired of the Lord. You see, the Lord is the one who can make things change. And the Lord answered, "It is for Saul," this is talking about King Saul, and for his bloody bloodshed that causes death. house because he slew the Gibeonites. So bloody there means the bloodshed that causes death. So he stabbed, used a sword, killed someone causing their blood to shed out of their body and they died as a result because we can't live without the blood in our body. Well, he also not just killed anyone, he killed the Gibeonites. We got to find out who the Gibeonites are because you're finding out here as we're going to find out who Rizba is here in just a moment. We got to find out what King Saul did. Because see, I'm gonna let you in on a little secret. Rispa is a concubine of King Saul and had two of his sons. So, we need to go find out what King Saul had done because of what he did. He caused a curse to come on the land and there was a famine year after year, three years in a row. and David because King at this point in scripture, what we just read, King Saul is dead. So, what we just read is King David is realizing, wait a second, why is the land cursed? What's going on, Lord? But he's already dead. Saul's dead, but the curse is still alive. I hope you're catching this because I want you to see what curses and blessings do. Rispa is gonna show us and we're gonna see that in what her actions are. But remember, as a concubine of King Saul, she is part of that covering of King Saul. So, she's got a curse on her. This we're going to get to that. All right. What we need to do is we need to find out who the Gibeonites are because obviously they've got a protection on them and somehow they got killed by Saul and that brought this curse on. So let's go look at how there was a covenant made with the Gibeonites that secured the Gibeonites in the nation of Israel. Amen. So we're going to start in Joshua 9:es 2-7 that they gathered themselves together to fight with Joshua and Israel with one accord, which is one mind, one mouth. And when the inhabitants of Gibian, which is a hilly area called Gibbon, heard what Joshua, which Joshua means Jehovah saved, had done unto Jericho. And Ai, I'mma pause there real quick. Oh, the rumors have gone through the land. You see, Israel has come out of the wilderness under the leadership of Joshua, and they defeated Ai, and they defeated Jericho. Remember, the walls came tumbling down at Jericho. So these Gibeonites heard about it. Let's continue reading. I want you to see what they say. They did work willy liilly trickery and went out and made as if they had been ambassadors and took old sacks upon their asses and wine bottles old and rent and bound up and old shoes and clouded upon their feet and old garments upon them. And all the bread of their provision was dry and moldy. And they went to Joshua into the camp of Gilgal and said unto him and to the man of Israel, we become from a far country. Now therefore make ye a league or a covenant with us. And the men of Israel said unto the Hivites, per adventure ye dwell with us or among us. Uh what if you dwell among us is what they're saying. How shall we make a league with you? If you continue to read on, you will find that they convince them with their old clothes that they have been traveling a long ways. And here our bread was fresh when we left, but it's moldy now. They're lying through their teeth. But Israel didn't inquire of the Lord. Joshua didn't go to the Lord. They didn't check it out. So the princes or the leadership of the congregation got together and they made a covenant with the Gibeonites and said, "Okay, we got you covered. We're not going to kill you." Well, then Israel starts traveling. They're defeating the cities and they come to Gibbon, the Gibbeonites. Let's continue. Let's go to verse 17 now. And in chapter nine, and the and the children of Israel journeyed and came into their cities on the third day. Now their cities were there's Gibian and then Shafara, Beera, and Kirum. I know I'm butchering those names. And the children of Israel went to smoke or strike them. But realize they can't. The children of Israel smoke them not because the princes of the congregation has sworn unto them by the Lord God of Israel. And all the congregation now murmured against the princes. But all the princes said unto all the congregation, we have sworn unto them by the Lord God of Israel, now therefore we may not touch them. This we will do to them, and we will even let them live, lest wrath be upon us, because of the oath which we swear unto them. And all the princes said unto them, let them live, but let them be hewers of wood and drawers of water unto all the congregation, as the princes had promised. So Joshua calls them over, the Gibeonites, and he spake unto them, saying, "Wherefore have ye beguiled us, saying, we're from a very far country, yet you dwell among us." This is what Joshua is complaining about. So he says to them, "Now therefore ye are cursed, and there shall none of you be freed from being bondmen and heers of wood and drawers of water for the house of my God." They answered Joshua and said, "Because it was certainly told thy servants, how that the Lord thy God commanded his servant Moses to give you all the land, and to destroy all the inhabitants of the land from before you, therefore we were so afraid of our lives because of you, and have done the same." And now, behold, we are in thine hand, as it seemth good, and right unto thee to do unto us do. And so did he unto them, and deliver them out of the hand of the children of Israel, that they slew them not. And Joshua made them that day heers of wood, and drawers of water for the congregation, and for the altar of the Lord, even unto this day, in the place which he should choose. Okay. The Gibeonites actually become a part of the tribe of Benjamin. You can go read that. They are now sacred. They have a covenant upon them and they are protected. Well, when God tells David about the famine, he says to him, "Well, he killed the Gibeonites. He had killed many of them. He didn't kill them all. We're going to find that out here shortly. But he goes and kills them." And he's a murderer because he's killed before. He causes people to die by draining their blood. He stabs them or does whatever. That's what King Saul was doing. You know, leaders can have a reputation of murder surrounding them. I'll just leave it at that. But that's what happened with King Saul here. But as a result of that, it caused a curse, a famine to come into the land. That was our opening scripture that we read. So, now we're going to find out about who Ryzbah is, and we're going to find out what's going on up to this time frame of David seeking the Lord because it's in that transitional period of King Saul being dead and David being alive and taking over the kingdom as the king of all of Israel and Judah. Well, at that time, we're going to find out who Ryba is. So let's go look at this transitional phase. We're going to be in 2 Samuel chapter 3. We're going to read verses 6-14. It came to pass while there was a war between the house of Saul and the house of David that Abner, which means father of light, made himself strong for the house of Saul. And Saul had a concubine whose name was Rizpah, the daughter of Aia. And Ishbasheth said to Abnner, "Wherefore wherefore hast thou gone into my father's concubine." Then was Abner very wroth. He he had a glow or grow warm. His face turned red. He He's embarrassed and angry and upset all at the same time. And it shows on the face. You You've seen that happen to people. for the words of Ishbasheth, and said, "Am I a dog's head, which against Judah, do show kindness this day unto the house of Saul thy father, to his brother, and to his friends, and have not delivered thee into the hand of David, that thou chargeth me today with a fault concerning this woman?" See, he took the concubine in. Didn't marry her or anything. He just made her his lover, if you will. This is who Ryz is. So, she's now she was under the covenant of Saul. This guy has favor for Saul, which means he's probably a murderer, too. Or he has that kind of spirit over him. And here Risba is living in this mess. Okay, she's in this mess. And this guy is accusing him. You know, hey, where's your morals? He doesn't have any. But watch what happens next. Uh verse 9. This is Abnner still outraged. So do God to Abnner. more also except as the Lord had Lord hath sworn to David even so I do to him to translate the kingdom from the house of Saul and to set so he's saying he's in the process of translating the kingdom from the house of Saul to set up the throne of David over Israel and over Judah from Dan even to Beersa and he now this Ishbasheth could not answer he says and he could not answer Abnner a word again because he feared him and then here now you hear Abnner sent messengers to David on his behalf. You see, he's coming to the realization, uh, I'm not going to have this kingdom by myself. He's not going to be king. And he knows that the favor of the Lord is on David. But yet, he still has this ugly covering over him because they're all about killers, murderers, and what have you. So, Havner sent messengers to David on his behalf, saying, "Who's is the land? and saying also, "Make thy league or a covenant with me, and behold, my hand shall be with thee to bring about all Israel unto thee." Now, David is a very merciful man of God. He knows what's going on. He's not dumb. He's got part of the kingdom, and now he needs to bring the other kingdom in. And this guy is saying he can do it. So he's going to go ahead and make a covenant. Let's read what David says. He says to him in verse 13, he said, 'Well, I will make a league with thee, but one thing I require of thee, that is that thou shalt not see my face, except thou first bring Mikall Saul's daughter, when thou comest to see my face. And then look what David does here in verse 14. And David sent messengers to Ishbasheth, Saul's son, saying, deliver me my wife McCall, which I espouseed to me for 100 skins of the Philistines. In other words, David didn't trust Abnner. So, he sent messengers both ways. He agreed to Abnner and then he sent to Ishbasheth saying, "I want my wife back and he's going to make this covenant with him." So, now you see this is where Rizpa is. She's right in the middle and this transitional period is taking place. So, David is in this famine. Three years go by. It's year after year not a drop of rain has come in the land and David seeks it out. Now let's go read what happens after that. Okay. 2 Samuel 21. We start in verse one. Then there was a famine in the days of David three years year after year is our opening scripture. And David inquired of the Lord and the Lord answered it is for Saul for his bloody house because he slew the Gibeonites in. So, King David, he and the king called the Gibeonites, and said unto them, now these are the Gibeonites were not of the children of Israel, but of the remnant of the Amorites, and the children of Israel has sworn unto them, and Saul sought to slay them in his zeal to the children of Israel and Judah. So, I went looking for that campaign as I uh mentioned earlier, and I could not find it. The Lord did not put that campaign in scripture, his zeal, and he went after. And maybe he did, and I'm missing it. It could be that it was termed under the Amorites. But anyways, God is saying it straight up here. Saul got a little crazy with his campaign and went after and went after the Gibeonites who were part of they had become part of the tribe of Benjamin. and they had a covering, a covenant that Saul knew, because Saul is from the tribe of Benjamin. Let's continue on. Verse three. So wherefore David said unto the Gibonites, "What shall I do for you? And wherewith shall I make the atonement?" The word atonement means to cover, cancel, appease. Because he's got to atone for this curse here. That ye may bless the inheritance of the Lord. Reign is the inheritance of the Lord. You're going to find that out here in at the last scripture I have in this teaching. Rain is an inheritance of the Lord. And David is trying to restore the inheritances. And notice it's on everybody. It's on David on the good side. And it's on the Gibeonites. It's on Abnner. It's on Rispah. It's on the evil and it's on the good. It's on the entire land. The whole land is affected by what Saul did. one man who broke a covenant and caused a curse to come on the land. All it takes is one person to do something. And this is a blood curse that is affected the land. And how many droughts have we been going through in the last 25 years? Let's continue on. Verse four. And the Gibeonites said unto him, we will have no silver nor gold of Saul, nor of his house, neither for us shalt thou kill any man in Israel. And he said, What ye shall say, that will I do for you. But the Gibeonites continued, "And they answered the king, the man that consumed us," talking about Saul, "and that devised against us that we should be destroyed from remaining in any of the coast of Israel." Now, you get a little bit more of a an understanding here of what's going on. Saul tried to wipe them out. What happened to Go read the book of Esther. They tried to wipe out the Israelites and God protected the Israelites and they celebrate PUM today that Hmon I just taught on this. He tried to wipe them out. Well, you see when you try to wipe out somebody who is covered by God, you bring a curse upon yourself. Oh, I'm seeing the Abrahamic uh blessings and cursings activated here. Look at this. So, he tried to wipe them out. And so he says, this is Gibian still talking verse six. Let seven men of his sons be delivered unto us and we will hang them up unto the Lord in Giba of Saul whom the Lord did choose and the king said I will give them. I'm going pause here again. Remember the Gibeonites come from the Amorites, but they've been covered by Israel because they tricked Israel into covering. So they've been chopping wood and getting water to the Israelites all these years. They have taken now on the God of Israel. That is who they serve now. So they're saying, "Okay, we're going to give us seven sons of this man who tried to kill us and we're going to hang them and that will appease and take care of the curse." And David says, "Okay, I will do that." Let's continue now to see what David does. Verse seven. But the king spared Mephishbasheth, the son of Jonathan, the son of Saul, because of the Lord's oath that was between them, between David and Jonathan, the son of Saul. David and Jonathan had a very special relationship. Jonathan loved David more than a brother, more than a best friend, more than anything. He would give his life for David. So, David is protecting Jonathan. Jonathan has passed away. He died the same time King Saul did. He was fighting with his father again. Even though he loved David, he had every he had the covering of his father on him and that murdering curse caused him to die. Well, David atoned for that by saving his son. So, Jonathan's line can continue because see, Jonathan still loved David, which is the good of he represents God. Now, look at what happens here. Verse eight. But the king took the two sons of Risba, the daughter of Ai, whom she bare unto Saul, Armonia and Mephishbasheth. Now Jonathan had a son named Mafishbasheth. Risbah had a son named Mafishbasheth. There's two of them. I hope you get that here. And then and the five sons of Mikll, the daughter of Saul, whom she brought up for Adriel, the son of Barzeli, the Maheli. Let's stop and pause for a moment. McCall had no children. McCall is David's wife that he we saw him tell Abnner and Ishbasheth to bring me my wife McCall. I want her back. Well, she never had children. She was married to another man after David had left. Well, David wants her back. He ends up getting her back. I don't know if they ever sleep together again or not, but she has no children. However, remember David had killed um 100 Philistines and gave the four skins for her. He paid the price for her, but he was supposed to get Mebaha, McCall's older sister, but Meabbah was married off to someone else. So, McCall was the replacement. Well, Mebah is the one who had these children or was married into Adriel, the son of Barzeli, the Maheli. That's Mebba. So apparently Merba has died and McCall has taken over raising her children. That's very interesting. See the dynamics here of how this is. So Rispa who is under the covering of Saul murderer killer who cursed the land and caused the drought to take place for three years. And McCall who ends up hating David remember he comes in with the ark of the covenant and he's dancing and praising the Lord in his loin cloth and she was so embarrassed and bitter. She never got to have she was so bitter. That was it. She ends up dying a bitter old lady. Well, the children she raised for her sister, she loses them. It's just bitterness upon bitterness upon bitterness on her because she hated David for what he was doing to the Lord. And then Rispa because she was under the curse of her mate because it wasn't a husband, she was a concubine. And so this when you are not on God's side, you have the curse of death upon you. So Rispa is going to lose her two children and MCL's going to lose their her five children. And now seven men are going to die and be hanged because of what one man did to kill what the covenant of the Lord was upon. I hope you guys are getting this. Let's continue on. And this is David. And he delivered them into the hands of the Gibeonites, and they hang them in the hill before the Lord. And they fell all seven together and were put to death in the days of harvest in the first days in the beginning of barley harvest. And Rispa, the daughter of Aiiah, took sackcloth and spread it for her upon the rock, from the beginning of harvest until water dropped upon them out of heaven, and suffered neither the birds of the air to rest on them by day, nor the beasts of the field by night. And it was told David that what Ryzah, the daughter of Aiah, the concubine of Saul, had done. And David went and took the bones of Saul and the bones of Jonathan his son from the men of Jabish Gilead which had stolen them from the street of Bethon where the Philistines had hanged them when the Philistines had slain Saul in Galboa Gilboa. And he brought up he brought up from thence the bones of Saul and the bones of Jonathan's son and they gathered the bones of them that were hanged. So that includes the seven sons there. and the bones of Saul and Jonathan his son buried they in the country of Benjamin and Zilah in the seulture of Kish his father and they performed all that the king commanded and after that God was entreated for the land. Okay. So Rispa loses her two sons and when she does she goes to where they were hung. She puts herself a place there where she can sit down and she's keeping the birds of the air away from their bodies. She's not letting the animals get to their bodies. So this is what she does. And she stays there until rain comes back. So even though David, he finds out about it. And by the way, now they're bones. They're no longer flesh in here. She sat she was there for a very long time. He takes all the bones. He decides to get Saul, Jonathan, and these seven men there because they're all one family. This is how much mercy David has. He hears what she does. She's grieving. See, she should know better who the God of Israel is. And yet, she was under. She being part of King Saul's family and he had that spirit on him where he listened to the Lord a little bit but not much. how much of an influencer her was she to him. So it cost her it cost her her two sons and David's line almost if it wasn't for um David having mercy on Jonathan's son that his line would have ended at that point because that's he's a killer he's a murderer he has a curse on him which then she takes that on as well so Rizbah suffer that but because of what she did David sees mercy he buries those bones and And as soon as those bones are all buried and the mercy, his mercy nullifies, the curse is now broken because these seven men were what had to be hung to undo the curse. When they did that, the rain fell on the land. Now again, what is the rain falls on everybody the same, whether you're good or bad? Don't mess with the rain by killing somebody who has the covenant of the Lord upon them. Now, let's go read about the rain a little bit more. 2 Chronicles 6:26-27. When the heaven, the sky is shut up, hold back. Now, this is Solomon, by the way. He's This is now years later. David's dead. He's built the temple. He's dedicating the temple. This is what Solomon says. So this is now many years later. Watch this. When the heaven, the sky is shut up or holds back and there's no rain because they have sinned against thee. Yet if they pray to judge, intercede, intreat toward this place, and confess literally to use thy name, confess the name, and turn from their sin when thou dost afflict them. Then here he's telling God, "Hear intelligently, intention, obediently, thou from heaven, and forgive, pardon, spare the sin of thy servants and of thy people Israel, when thou hast taught them the good way wherein they should walk and send rain upon the land and which thou hast given unto thy people for an inheritance." Solomon just simply told you how to bring the rain back to the land, and we saw David do it physically. after what Saul did. So we know what causes drought and we know what causes the rain to come back. So next time we face a drought situation and remember I have testified that in California when I used to live there I prayed over that area and it took a couple of years but the breakthrough finally came because people kept cursing the land and making it drier and drier and I was like Lord we're trying to bless it. They're cursing, shut their mouths. And it did happen. And now they've got rain and a lot of rain and a lot more rain in the last few years. They've been getting more and more rain, which is incredible because the land has been restored and we're doing the same here. We're seeing the cycle come back where rain is an inheritance is coming back. So now let's take a look at what Ryz put. She was grieving. She did not pray for Saul. Remember I taught on Adam and Eve when Eve was created. She was made from the rib of Adam. She's part of his rib cage. Now, she may be a Rispa may be a concubine to Saul, but here's the thing. She had the responsibility to pray for him, and she did not. Remember now, Saul started off as a man of God. He prophesied in the Lord's name. Remember what Jesus said? You may have prophesied in my name, but I don't know who you are. Well, you see what happened to Saul as he got further and further from God to the point where he didn't even talk to God because God wasn't answering him. He went to a meeting to go try to talk to Samuel who had died. And that was that was the done deal. His kingdom was torn from him and that was it. If Risba had been praying for him for that matter, if any of the women there had been praying for him, we would have a different lineage today. Like God knew what was going on. And this is why Jesus comes through the line of David. But we are taught if you want restoration in the land and you want the rain to come, you have to void and nullify the curse. One way to do it is to forgive it. Forgive it and let it go. Say, "Lord, we we're experiencing a drought. We need more rain. That is your inheritance. So, I'm asking for your inheritance. So, Lord, I forgive the sins of the land. I forgive the curses over the land. I forgive the curses against the land. And I forgive the iniquities that you find in the land." Because see, when there's a murder and the blood goes into the land into the ground, the ground is crying up to God saying, "Avenge me." So, there's an avenger of blood or a spiritual avenger that is going to be coming out against us, which holds the rain back. So, then what do you do? You forgive it. And then you tell those demons to get lost. You say, "Get out of the land. Get below my feet. I bind you with feathers of iron to the iron below my feet." Remember, we stand on the name of Jesus and he is going to rule with an iron fist. So, he's full of iron. Tell those demons that they are bound to that iron. And then what you do is you bless the land. Say, "Lord, it is now forgiven. I forgave it." And the Lord said, "If you forgive it, I will forgive it." So, if I'm forgiving it, he's obligated to forgive it. which then the rain comes and it is our inheritance. Oh, I hope you guys see the principle that is here that is given to us so that we can stand and enjoy the land that the Lord has given us. We should never have to have allergies or sicknesses and diseases. That's all a result of sin. But the moment you have mercy from God and you asked him to forgive you, that sin is gone. Those curses are gone, the curses are gone, and we can live in the promises that he has given us. Amen. Let's close in a word of prayer. Father God, we thank you for your word. And we thank you that your word does not return void. Lord, I pray that more people get this message, hear it, and become prayers of forgiveness over the their land, over their families, over their households, over their churches, so that we can start seeing this mercy and forgiveness spread through the land. Thank you, Lord, for showing us our inheritance because it is beautiful and wonderful to have rain over the land, for everything to be lush and nourished. Thank you Lord. You are the blessing and you are king of glory and we give you the glory, the honor and the praise for all of this. In the name of Jesus we pray. Amen. Amen. God bless you. I will see you in the next message. Bye-bye. Home Watch the Video Teaching

  • DAWN OF THE END TIMES | House of Faith Ministries (HoFM)

    DAWN OF THE END TIMES The purpose of Dawn of the End Times is to present a vivid and faith-centered account of the final moments leading to Christ’s return. Pastor Marcos Marrero seeks to awaken urgency in believers, affirm the fulfillment of biblical prophecy, and inspire unwavering faith in Jesus amid global chaos and judgment. The message emphasizes both the sobering reality of judgment for unbelievers and the glorious hope of redemption for those who remain steadfast in Christ. DAWN OF THE END TIMES Pastor Marcos Marrero July 27, 1997 Objective: The purpose of Dawn of the End Times is to present a vivid and faith-centered account of the final moments leading to Christ’s return. Pastor Marcos Marrero seeks to awaken urgency in believers, affirm the fulfillment of biblical prophecy, and inspire unwavering faith in Jesus amid global chaos and judgment. The message emphasizes both the sobering reality of judgment for unbelievers and the glorious hope of redemption for those who remain steadfast in Christ. Synopsis: Written on July 27, 1997, Dawn of the End Times describes in gripping detail the apocalyptic events that mark the beginning of the end. The narrative opens in the early morning hours, when the world awakens to the devastating destruction of a massive army invading Israel—a defeat so sudden and absolute that it can only be attributed to divine intervention. The collapse of world powers leaves humanity stunned, and the imminent return of Christ becomes undeniable. For believers, these hours are filled with anticipation, reverent fear, and quiet prayer as they prepare to meet their Redeemer. Yet for the majority of the world, panic, violence, and rebellion erupt, as mobs reject God’s authority and vent their anger on those of “the Way.” Pastor Marrero highlights the stark division: while unbelievers cling to disbelief and deception, Christians recognize the fulfillment of Scripture with clarity and hope. As dawn breaks, the imagery shifts from despair to triumph. Believers, gathered together, sense the call of God: “Arise my children, your hard service has been rendered.” The trumpet is about to sound, and eternity is dawning. The climax arrives with the appearance of Jesus Himself, clothed in glory, descending swiftly to claim His own. The narrator experiences the awe-filled transformation into a new, glorified body, overwhelmed with the cry: “Hallelujah, He kept His promise!” Ultimately, the message captures both the terror of judgment and the breathtaking hope of salvation, reminding readers of the urgency of faith and the certainty of Christ’s return. Inspired Teaching: In the early hours of the morning of that day, we knew that something awesome was about to happen. It was one of those things that cannot be explained yet, you know it is real. In a way it did not seem any different than any other morning if you just concentrated on the elements rather than the happenings around you, for this definitely was not like any other morning; this was the last morning on earth for millions of people around the world. By the time that the next evening would come, life would never be the same for the billions left behind. You see this was the dawn of the end times. At long last, after many words had been written on the subject and an endless parade of predictions, it was here, it had arrived, and it was real. The evening before had started with great apprehension, as people beheld in utter disbelief the news that a great vast army led by Russian troops and a formidable coalition of forces from three continents had been totally wiped out as with the stroke of a pen in an instant and their bodies litter the Israeli countryside. The bright flash of light that had consumed them could not be explained in any other terms than divine intervention. The world leaders and politicians at large were dumbfounded with a lack of an explanation, which was the norm for those in charge of reporting the news. There was no doubt in all quarters that the returned of Jesus Christ was now eminent and that the time of judgment was now here, and there was no way of escaping it. For those of us who had been waiting for this blessed event since the day of our conversion it seem to come upon us with mixed feelings, for in the chill of the early morning hours and as we realized that the hour of our redemption was almost upon us, we would soon be meeting face to face the one who had paid the full price of our redemption. We also realized that the majority of the people of the earth had been deceived and had rejected the creators’ offer of peace, and now only the awful expectation of judgment was all that was left for the peoples of the world. They tremble before the mighty signs but yet lacked the faith to repent and call upon the name that would save them, the name of Jesus. Panic has broken out in many places and mobs of people everywhere had gone into a rampage destroying, looting, burning and killing all who would get in their way; since this is the end they reasoned, they did not have to be accountable to any authorities here on earth, and utter rebellion to all forms of authority was their final act of defiance before God. For the people of the way this were apprehensive hours to say the least, for the undercurrent theme throughout the multitudes was that we were the ones to blame for the current occurrences, and vengeance against them seems to be the purest form of retribution. We had all come from different areas of the city, like drawn by an invisible force. We could tell just by looking at each other’s faces what we had in common in the middle of chaos, there was this peace and assurance, and a very reverent holy fear gripped us all. There wasn’t much talking among us, just a great deal of silent praying as we all had in our minds someone who we were not sure if they would have the strength to call on the name of Jesus amid their confusion. As I huddled with my family I glanced at the starry night and memories of days gone by flooded my mind. Life then just seemed so brief; It seemed like just yesterday I was a little boy, up in the early morning fishing with my dad. Feeling the early morning chill as I crawled towards the back of the boat to keep warm, enduring those hardships in the hope that the day would bring lots of fish and a great time with my dad. Hoping that I will catch that big one so that I will have something great to brag about to my friends. The glow of the fires illuminating the distant horizon brought me back to the reality of the moment. It was so real. How many times in our walk we felt like just giving up, without realizing how much was really at stake. And now there was no doubt as to what hangs on the balance of faith, for to deny Christ at this point in time is the greatest of all mistakes and one that would be regretted for eternity. How can something that seems so simple as exercising one’s faith be so hard? But there they were, multitudes in the valley of decision; since they had given themselves to believe the assurances of the world, that there is no God and that we humans had evolved, how can all of the sudden one give oneself to change one’s mind and belief? Just because of a few great signs, there must be a logical explanation for all these happenings. The greatest fear of all humanity at this point in time was that nobody had risen [yet] to the task of assuring the peoples of the world otherwise. In the other hand, for the people of the way all those years of reading and studying the bible trying to make sense of it all had paid off. All the events that were happening had such clarity to them, all those hidden things now made perfect sense. The breeze had changed direction as dawn approached and one could smell the burnt ashes of what used to be the hopes and dreams of mankind. The darkest hour of the night was nearly over and if one looked intensely towards the eastern skies, one could see the dawning of eternity for those whose hearts were filled with hope. But only the deepest of darkness remained for those who placed their hopes on the abilities of man, what they had trusted upon had betrayed them. If only there was another lie that they could believe, another reprieve to postpone the inevitable. We all as one got on our feet and began to gaze intensely towards the dawn. It was like an unheard voice was calling to each of us, “ARISE MY CHILDREN, YOUR HARD SERVICE HAS BEEN RENDERED.” It was finally over! As we stood there in the flesh, with the early morning breeze refreshing our souls for the last time in this body here on earth we knew that the trumpet was about to sound, and there was no going back. Oh, what a feeling! This would be the last time here on earth for us, in this body of sin. As I began to ponder as to how the transfer would take place, I saw HIM. He was dressed in a long white robe and was moving towards me rapidly. He was walking in the air at a very fast pace and yet He was moving at the same time, and it seemed at the speed of light. As he very rapidly approached me, I could see his face, and my eyes locked into his blazing eye. I could feel myself dying, for every fiber in my body trembled at his holy presence. My heart pounded loudly and out of control. I was so scared I could not keep from shaking, but as my flesh panted for air that it could not find, I found that from deep within me a new man was rising, and in a deep and clear voice it shouted “HALLELUJAH, HE KEPT HIS PROMISE”. As the struggle between the two was ending I felt a violent collision. JESUS had grabbed me right at the middle of the heart without slowing down and I suddenly moved at the speed of light through the air. I could feel my new body forming out of the old. My tongue which was plastered to the roof of my mouth because of the great speed at which we were traveling, could feel the missing teeth growing and my spirit could not stop shouting “HALLELUJAH, HE KEPT HIS PROMISE”.

  • THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS | House of Faith Ministries (HoFM)

    THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS To help believers understand the covenant name of Jesus—The Lord Our Righteousness—as the guarantee of God’s covenant with humanity. The lesson aims to show how Jesus, as the Faithful and True executor of the covenant sealed by His blood, alone provides righteousness for mankind. It also emphasizes the certainty of His soon return and urges believers to hold fast to the promises of the covenant without being swayed by doubt or false teachings. THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS Pastor Marcos Marrero Objective: To help believers understand the covenant name of Jesus—The Lord Our Righteousness—as the guarantee of God’s covenant with humanity. The lesson aims to show how Jesus, as the Faithful and True executor of the covenant sealed by His blood, alone provides righteousness for mankind. It also emphasizes the certainty of His soon return and urges believers to hold fast to the promises of the covenant without being swayed by doubt or false teachings. Synopsis: Jeremiah 23:6 reveals Jesus’ covenant name, The Lord Our Righteousness, which points to His role as the righteous executor of God’s covenant. Unlike humanity, which has continually broken the covenant, Jesus fulfilled every requirement perfectly through His blood sacrifice, ensuring the forgiveness of sins and right standing with God. Scripture portrays Him as Faithful and True, bound to the Word of God and faithful to bring every promise to completion—including His return to establish His Kingdom. The teaching stresses that many voices today deny the reality of Christ’s physical return, but the covenant leaves no room for spiritualized or metaphorical interpretations. Just as He ascended, He will return visibly in the clouds, and every eye will see Him. Believers are reminded not to be deceived but to cling to the covenant, for not one word of it will fail. In the last days, scoffers will question His coming, yet this itself is a sign of His nearness. Ultimately, The Lord Our Righteousness is our guarantee: He has taken away our sins, given us His righteousness, and will soon return to reign as King of kings and Lord of lords. This truth should inspire reverence for God’s covenant, faith in His promises, and hope in the certainty of Christ’s imminent return. Inspired Teaching: Jeremiah 23:6 “In His days Judah will be saved, and Israel will dwell safely; now this is His name by which He will be called: THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS.” Jeremiah inspired by the Holy Spirit gives us insight into the reign of the Lord during the Kingdom Age, and through the inspiration of the Holy Spirit he reveals to us the name by which Jesus will be called during His glorious reign. THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS is Jesus’ covenant name. A covenant is a legal document that guarantees the execution of those things which are stipulated within the covenant. What that means is that the executor of the covenant has to meet all of the requirements of the covenant in order to bring about their fulfillment. Revelation 19:11 “Now I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse. And He who sat on him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and makes war.” God is God, and in His dealings with men He can do to men whatever He wants to do, and whenever He wants to do it, good or bad, for after all we are His creation and we are all subject to Him. But notice the name that precedes the righteousness of Jesus actions, we read that He is also called Faithful and True. Which means that God follows a carefully laid out plan in His dealings with men, a covenant if you will, to which God swears Himself to uphold. Where is that covenant found? Revelation 19:13 “He was clothed with a robe dipped in blood, and His name is called The Word of God.” Keep in mind that a biblical covenant requires the shedding of blood as a seal of its surety. So we see that THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS is Faithful and True to The Word of God, the covenant, and as a guarantee of His ability to implement all the provisions of the covenant He is clothed with a robe dipped in blood. How beautiful and how perfect is The Word of God! Revelation 19:16 “And He has on His robe and on His thigh a name written: KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.” He is KING ALMIGHTY GOD, and He is LORD OVER ALL THE CREATION, and still He follows the carefully crafted plan laid out in God’s Word, what He calls His covenant with men. Since God has such great respect towards the covenant that He instituted with Adam and his seed, should we not, the seed of Adam, have as much respect and a desire to understand the counsel that God Himself follows: the covenant that God made with man as written in His Word? Human history, in regards as to how good we humans are at keeping God’s covenant, is not a good one. Hosea 6:7 “Like Adam, they have broken the covenant—they were unfaithful to me there.” NIV Not only does the human race in general have a history of breaking the covenant—the Word of God—but also those through whom the words of the covenant were supposed to be lived out—Israel and Judah—have a history themselves of forsaking God’s covenant. Jeremiah 22:8-9 “And many nations will pass by this city; and everyone will say to his neighbor, ‘Why has the Lord done so to this great city?’ Then they will answer, ‘Because they have forsaken the covenant of the Lord their God, and worshipped other gods and served them.’” If there is one thing that we humans lack is the ability to do the right thing. Romans 3:10 “As it is written: There is none righteous, no, not one.” So that the executor of the covenant had to be righteous and a descendant of Adam, a human, who Himself would be able to impute of His own righteousness to His human brethren who lacked it, and in accordance with God’s covenant as stipulated in His Word. Romans 11:27 “For this is My covenant with them, when I take away their sins.” This is why He is called THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS, for our righteousness, or right standing before God, comes from Him and Him alone, our kinsman redeemer. Hebrews 2:12-13 “Saying: ‘I will declare Your name to My brethren; in the midst of the assembly I will sing praise to You.’ And again: ‘I will put My trust in Him.’ And again: ‘Here am I and the children whom God has given Me.’” Hebrews 8:12 “For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their lawless deeds I will remember no more.” Now why am I emphasizing that which should be very clear to all of us who believe? I want us to focus afresh on the covenant, especially as it relates to His soon return. For there are many voices out there that are trying to persuade true believers that the parts of the covenant that deal with His soon return and the setting up of His Kingdom Age, that they are not relevant anymore. Let me ask you, which part of the covenant did Jesus leave unfulfilled? Or is there any of you who believe that the covenant does not apply to the Kingdom Age as in regards to us His saints, ruling and reigning with him during the Kingdom Age? Revelation 1:6-7 “And has made us kings and priests to His God and Father, to Him be glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen. Behold, He is coming with clouds, and every eye will see Him, even they who pierced Him. And all the tribes of the earth will mourn because of Him. Even so, Amen.” What part of He is coming with clouds don’t they understand? Some say that His return is a metaphor and that His church is already here on earth ruling and reigning over the affairs of men. Then tell me, if you know, where is the One who will be called THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS when His kingdom is set up? Is He here in the earth right now, if He is, then why are we still in our sins? John 14:2-3 “In My Father’s house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And If I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also.” Acts 1:11 “...Men of Galilee, why do you stand gazing up into heaven? This same Jesus, who was taken up from you into heaven, will so come in like manner as you saw Him go into heaven.” Revelation tells us that every eye will see Him when He returns in the clouds of glory, I have eyes, mine eyes have not seen Him return yet, and neither have yours. Jesus told us that when He physically returns, He will receive us unto Himself, we are not with Jesus yet, so that He has not returned as of this writing. Do not be cheated out of your portion of the covenant my friends. Not one jot or tittle of His covenant Word will be omitted or left unfulfilled. Matthew 5:18 “For assuredly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one tittle will by no means pass from the law (covenant) till all is fulfilled.” In one of the epistles it tells us about the inquiries of those who lacked faith, as they asked, where is this coming that we heard so much about? 2 Peter 3:3-4 “Knowing this first: that scoffers will come in the last days, walking according to their own lusts, and saying, ‘Where is the promise of His coming? For since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of creation.’” In the last days they will be scoffing at His promised return which is a sign, according to God’s Word, that we are living in the days of Jesus’ soon return to set up His kingdom. Jeremiah 23:20 “The anger of the Lord will not turn back until He has executed and performed the thoughts of His heart (the contents of His covenant). In the latter days you will understand it perfectly.” I laid out to you the basics of the covenant, and how important it is from God’s perspective, that we understand the rigidity of the covenant. And since we are living in the latter days where we have the ability to comprehend the entirety and surety of the covenant, by the things which God has already fulfilled, then we should not have any problem understanding perfectly about the soon return of Christ to complete those things that are yet to be resolved. How do you see God? Does He feel near to you or is He far from you? Jeremiah 23:23-24 “‘Am I a God near at hand,’ says the Lord, ‘and not a God afar off? Can anyone hide himself in secret places, so I shall not see him?’ Says the Lord; ‘Do I not fill heaven and earth?’ Says the Lord.” Previous Next Home

    Equip believers to discern false teachings by anchoring themselves in the gospel’s “righteousness of faith,” testing teachings and spirits by Scripture, and responding with prayerful integrity. Clarify the difference between destructive error and healthy theological debate, so Christians can recognize bad fruit, protect their minds, and keep their eyes on Jesus.

  • UNDERSTANDING THE BOOK OF REVELATION PART 7 | House of Faith Ministries (HoFM)

    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.
