House of Faith Ministries (HoFM) says prayer works. Say this prayer out loud for Hamas, Hezbollah, hostages, and terrorists. Top of Page Top of Page PRAY FOR HAMAS, HEZBOLLAH, HOSTAGES, AND TERRORISM Written by Minister Lisa Kane 12.31.23 SAY THIS PRAYER OUT LOUD: Mighty Heavenly Father, I lift up Hamas, Hezbollah, hostages, and all terrorism around the world 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 Hamas, Hezbollah, hostages, and all terrorism around the world, 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 Hamas, Hezbollah, hostages, and all terrorism around the world 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 Hamas, Hezbollah, hostages, and all terrorism around the world 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 Hamas, Hezbollah, hostages, and all terrorism around the world 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 Hamas, Hezbollah, hostages, and all terrorism around the world 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 in terrorism or bound to terrorism as a hostage to forgive and reconcile their lives 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.” Hostages, be free from bondage going forth in the Name of Jesus, the Son of the living God. I pray that Hamas, Hezbollah, hostages, and all terrorism around the world 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 Hamas, Hezbollah, hostages, and all terrorism around the world. 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!

House of Faith Ministries (HoFM) shows the Kingdom of God relates to spiritual power or the spiritual warfare one deals with during the dispensation of grace. Top of Page THE KINGDOM OF GOD AND HIS POWER Written by Lisa Kane 4/8/2013 First know this. The actual phrases ‘Kingdom of God’ and ‘Kingdom of Heaven’ only exists in the New Testament. This tells me that this phrase belongs to the dispensation of grace, meaning the time we’re in now. Also know this, the Kingdom of God and the Kingdom of Heaven are used interchangeably throughout the New Testament. The Kingdom of God is found 69 times in the New Testament. The Kingdom of Heaven is found 31 times in the New Testament. So if this is for the dispensation of grace, what is it? Let’s break down the root of the statement. According to dictionary.com, kingdom means “a state or government having a king or queen as its head.” According to dictionary.com, God means “the one Supreme Being, the creator and ruler of the universe.” And according to dictionary.com, heaven means “the abode of God, the angels, and the spirits of the righteous after death; the place or state of existence of the blessed after the mortal life.” The reason God and Heaven are interchangeable is because God dwells in us and we in Him. God is spirit and heaven is a spiritual place. Wherever God is, there is heaven and if God dwells in us and we in Him, then we’ve already begun our journey towards heaven. Think of it like this: 2 Corinthians 5:8 We are confident, yes, well pleased rather to be absent from the body and to be present with the Lord.” We don’t have to wait for death to happen for us to begin experiencing heaven. We have heaven now. Another thing to think about here is that when Jesus died on the cross, the temple veil was torn in two. Matthew 27:51 Then, behold, the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom; This means that Jesus removed the separation between God and man thus bringing the Kingdom of God to Earth. So again, what is the Kingdom of God? This was so important that both of these phrases together were mentioned 100 times in the New Testament. Mark 4:11 And He said to them, “To you it has been given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God; but to those who are outside, all things come in parables, The Kingdom of God relates to spiritual power or the spiritual warfare one deals with during the dispensation of grace. Matthew 12:28 But if I cast out demons by the Spirit of God, surely the kingdom of God has come upon you. Look how specific Matthew 12:28 is. Jesus is clearly saying that by casting out demons by the Spirit of God then the Kingdom of God is upon you. So that reaffirms that the Kingdom of God is spiritual power in the dispensation of grace. Now how does this work? First, we know that to be with God is to believe in God or as Jesus put it in John 3:3, we must be born again. John 3:3 Jesus answered and said to him, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.” And right after that, Jesus was even more specific by saying: John 3:5 Jesus answered, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God. Entering the Kingdom of God means entering into God’s power. Now let me make something clear here. Entering the Kingdom of God is different than entering heaven. Remember above-mentioned scripture in Matthew 12:28 , that by casting out demons the Kingdom of God is upon you. Remember what Romans says which brings a distinct difference between spiritual warfare and going to heaven: Romans 10:13 For “whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.” Calling on God is different than entering the Kingdom of God. Entering the Kingdom of God deals with spiritual matters HERE ON EARTH and no one can just have any of God’s power; hence there are rules to follow. The person who decides to enter into this power with God must be ready to accept the responsibilities associated with this power. Casting out demons has nothing to do with going to heaven. Once you understand that, you understand why so many people become confused and get upset when they think they can’t go to heaven or someone tells them they won’t go to heaven unless they change their lifestyle because of the sin he or she is living in. Keep the Bible simple. Anyone who calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved; hence that person is going to heaven. And you only have to call on him once…Jesus only died once on the cross. But if you’re beyond just calling on the name of the Lord to be saved, then you’re ready to enter the Kingdom of God, which is the spiritual power God has for His people. That means separating you from this world and entering into this Kingdom that Jesus brought to Earth with Him when He ministered during His lifetime. And to obtain that power, one must ‘enter’ the Kingdom of God. How does one enter the Kingdom of God? Matthew 21:31 Which of the two did the will of his father?” They said to Him, “The first.” Jesus said to them, “Assuredly, I say to you that tax collectors and harlots enter the kingdom of God before you. Jesus is very specific to who enters this kingdom. As stated in Matthew 21:30 & 31 in a parable He spoke to the Pharisees, He mentions that tax collectors and harlots enter before them. That’s not to say the Pharisees wouldn’t have but the Pharisees had some internal heart issues they needed to take care of before they could enter the Kingdom of God. Another way He mentioned it: Matthew 19:24 And again I say to you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.” Mark 10:15 Assuredly, I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God as a little child will by no means enter it.” Luke 6:20 [ The Beatitudes ] Then He lifted up His eyes toward His disciples, and said: “Blessed are you poor, For yours is the kingdom of God. Also remember above, Jesus in John 3 mentioned being born again and baptized or born of water and spirit. (John 3:3 and 3:5). Again, let’s keep in mind that baptizing isn’t to enter heaven, but it is to enter into the power of the Kingdom of God. And when do we need this power? Not when we get to heaven but while we’re here on Earth. Remember, Jesus’ ministry did not begin until He was baptized. This is very important. By the way, how does one become born again? Here’s how: Romans 10:9 New King James Version (NKJV) 9 that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. Speak up. That’s right. Speak with your mouth to God, believing that Jesus is real because God raised Him from the dead, and simply say, “I confess Lord that You are God and I ask You to forgive me of my sins. I believe You are Lord and I ask You to be Lord of my life. Thank You!” Then get baptized. Now you’ve just entered the Kingdom of God. The Kingdom of God is power. Power to save, heal, and deliver. Key here is to LET THE HOLY SPIRIT TEACH YOU about His power. This is a personal journey you’re ready to live. Start reading the gospels and Acts in the New Testament. This will help you understand the power Jesus and His disciples demonstrated that you’re ready to begin using too. While you’re going through this journey, you’re going to find yourself faced with some serious decisions to make here. For example, God will lead you on a journey to separate yourself from the world. Here’s a list of items Paul clearly makes that you can’t participate in if you want to be a part of the Kingdom of God or a part of demonstrating His power here on Earth: 1 Corinthians 6:9-10 New King James Version (NKJV) 9 Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, 10 nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God. As you can see, one must separate oneself from these items to operate in the Kingdom of God. That doesn’t mean you can hate or hurt those that choose to live his or her life as a fornicator, idolater, etc. Everybody has a choice on how he or she wants to live his or her life. You yourself are looking at a change, which is why you’re reading this. How can you live moving in the power of God if you’re heart isn’t right on viewing those who need God? I’ll end with this. Show love and compassion with the above scripture. By doing this, you demonstrate and establish the Kingdom of God in you and everything around you. 1 Corinthians 13 New King James Version (NKJV) The Greatest Gift 13 Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal. 2 And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. 3 And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, but have not love, it profits me nothing. 4 Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; 5 does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; 6 does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; 7 bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. 8 Love never fails. But whether there are prophecies, they will fail; whether there are tongues, they will cease; whether there is knowledge, it will vanish away. 9 For we know in part and we prophesy in part. 10 But when that which is perfect has come, then that which is in part will be done away. 11 When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child; but when I became a man, I put away childish things. 12 For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I shall know just as I also am known. 13 And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love.

PRAYING THROUGH OBEDIENCE Recorded by Lisa Kane Published on 10/28/23 Top of Page Top of Page More teachings found here: Deliverance Ministry End Times Teachings Other Teachings

House of Faith Ministries (HoFM) presents a teaching on Genesis 2:15 “Then the Lord God took the man and put him in the garden of Eden to tend and keep it.” Top of Page THE KEEPER Genesis 2:15 “Then the Lord God took the man and put him in the garden of Eden to tend and keep it.” Keep: Shamar, in the original Hebrew text, and it means, To hedge about as with thorns (barb wire), to guard, to protect, as a watchman lying in wait for the enemy to try to come in and ambush him. Adam was commissioned by God to tend and to keep the garden of Eden. To Tend means to work by serving. Adam was to work while serving in the garden, and at the same time he was to keep it safe, by protecting the garden that he had been given dominion over—from demonic intruders, since there were at that time, no other humans besides Adam and Eve. We see two principles here that deal with our abilities to produce spiritual fruit from God: First, we need to work out our own salvation by serving God in order to produce spiritual fruit, since spiritual fruit does not happen by itself. Philippians 2:12-13 “Therefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling; for it is God who works in you both to will and to do (to tend and to keep) for His good pleasure.” We are to seek after the things of God which are spiritual in order to produce spiritual fruit. Matthew 6:33 “But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.” Secondly, we need to watch out for thieves whose aim is to rob us of the blessings that come as a result of our serving the Living God with a true heart. Proverbs 27:18 “Whoever keeps (protects and/or tends) the fig tree will eat its fruit; so he who waits on his master will be honored.” Sadly, too many Christians who serve God faithfully, do not get to partake of the spiritual fruit that their true labor of love produces, because they are not aware of the thief who is robbing them blind. 1 Peter 5:8 “Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.” If the devil did not have the ability to deprive us of our spiritual blessings, we would not be commanded to be sober and be vigilant. I believe that the reason so many Christians are swindled by the devil out of their spiritual blessings, is because so many churches do not embrace the teachings of the ministry of deliverance, which is all about spiritual warfare and keeping watch: to guard, to protect, as a watchman laying in wait for the enemy to try to come in and ambush him. Matthew 24:43 “But know this, that if the master of the house had known what hour the thief would come, he would have watched and not allowed his house to be broken into.” From the days of the garden of Eden, humans have let down their guard by failing to keep their garden safe and allowed the enemy to rob them of the fruits of their labor. Zechariah 13:7 “‘Awake, O sword, against My Shepherd, against the Man who is My Companion,’ says the Lord of hosts. ‘Strike the Shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered; then I will turn My hand against the little ones.’” Behind Zechariah’s Messianic prophecy we see the spiritual principle that the enemy uses to steal our spiritual blessings from us. While the prophecy applies to Jesus dying on the cross and the scattering of His disciples, the principle works the same; if the devil can get to the shepherds of the church he can also scatter the sheep and turn his hand against them. Spiritual warfare is not a Christian accessory, it is a vital part of everyday Christianity. We are not guarding against flesh and blood enemies; we are protecting against principalities and powers. Ephesians 6:12 “For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.” In the face of the fact that not too many Christians are taught about spiritual warfare in their local churches—since way too many shepherds have been intimidated by the enemy—we are going to deal with the personal aspect of tending and keeping our own gardens. The number one, and must important thing that we need to know is that we have a personal—a one and one relationship with Jesus, and no natural family, or church family, or a shepherd who is the leader of the church of which we are members, is ever to come between us and our personal relationship that we have with Jesus, and our responsibility to tend and to keep watch over our own personal gardens. Matthew 10:37 “He who loves father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me. And he who loves son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me.” This ensures that if the shepherd fails in his responsibility to properly keep his congregation safe—if he fails to tend it properly—these church members are still guarded and protected by the Great Shepherd under whose wing they have taken refuge. That is why we take the Word of God to church with us, because our covenant is with the Word who became flesh and died for us, and not with mere mortal men. Where other men will fail us, Jesus is the Man that will never fail us. The second thing then, is that we are personally responsible to tend and to keep safe our own garden. What is our own garden? Joshua 24:15 “...But as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.” Joshua and Caleb were part of the twelve spies, ten of which gave a bad report and caused the rest of the people to turn back from their inheritance. Although Joshua and Caleb gave a good report, it was not accepted because of the fear that the report of the other ten spies brought into the camp. Although the possessing of their inheritance was delayed by forty years due to the false report of the other ten leaders, Joshua and Caleb entered into their inheritance because of their faith, while none of the others did, for they all died in the desert. While they were still part of the whole, they were able to keep the enemy from stealing what was their personal inheritance. Acts 16:31 “So they said, ‘Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved, you and your household.’” Our own garden is that which belongs to us in accordance with God’s promises, and it is our own personal responsibility to guard it and to keep it safe no matter what. If a church leader is pressured into compromising the promises given to the body of Christ—they do so at their own risk—we do not have to compromise our own personal promises, we can take a stand like Joshua and Caleb did. The third thing is, How do we guard our own personal garden? 1 John 4:1 “Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world.” Keep in mind that it is spiritual fruit that we are trying to guard. Also that our real enemies are spirits masking behind flesh and blood. Ephesians 6:13-17 “Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.” If one draws a picture of a human body standing at attention, with both arms completely extended horizontally to the sides, it forms a cross. Now if we draw a line from the helmet of salvation through the breastplate of righteousness, on through the belt of truth where it ties with the buckle, and unto the feet which are shod with the gospel of peace. Then draw a separate line from the right hand which is holding the sword of the Spirit, to the left hand which is holding the shield of faith, the cross is complete. Galatians 2:20 “I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.” The goal of spiritual fruit is self-control; the enemy of self-control is selfish-ambitions. Death to our self-life for the sake of Christ’s life always produces spiritual fruit, for such fruit emanates from the Anointed One Himself who dwells within those of us who believe in Him. But most importantly, those who die to themselves for the sake of living Christ’s life, clothe themselves with an impenetrable armor that not only protects them, but that also protects all that belongs to them. Matthew 6:19-20 “Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal; but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal.” In spiritual warfare all that we surrender to Jesus is kept safe, for we may not always be able to keep the enemy with all his cunning out of our garden. But if all that is within our garden is marked with the sign of the cross, the devil cannot touch it; for it is holy to the Lord and consecrated to God and for the glory of His only begotten Son, the Anointed One. 1 Chronicles 16:22 “Saying, ‘Do not touch My anointed ones, and do My prophets no harm.’” Let us not forget that the armor of God is also the armor of light which completely covers us with His anointing. Romans 13:12, 14 “The night is far spent, the day is at hand. Therefore let us cast off the works of darkness (selfish ambitions), and let us put on the armor of light...But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to fulfill its lusts.” More teachings found here: Deliverance Ministry End Times Teachings Other Teachings
