DO YOU KNOW HIS LOVE The purpose of this teaching is to help believers grasp the depth of God’s love revealed through Christ’s sacrifice, understanding redemption as both a legal and spiritual restoration. By exploring Scripture, the message aims to show how Jesus’ blood fulfilled the law, paid the ransom for sin, and restored believers as children of God, leading to transformation of the heart, mind, and spirit. DO YOU KNOW HIS LOVE Minister Lisa Kane September 12, 2024 Objective: The purpose of this teaching is to help believers grasp the depth of God’s love revealed through Christ’s sacrifice, understanding redemption as both a legal and spiritual restoration. By exploring Scripture, the message aims to show how Jesus’ blood fulfilled the law, paid the ransom for sin, and restored believers as children of God, leading to transformation of the heart, mind, and spirit. Synopsis: In Do You Know His Love, Lisa Kane opens with Luke 23:46, reflecting on Jesus commending His spirit into the Father’s hands as the ultimate act of trust and love. The teaching examines redemption through passages in Psalms, Galatians, Titus, 1 Peter, and Romans, showing that Christ’s sacrifice was foretold, fulfilled, and remains the central act of God’s covenant love. The message highlights redemption as a ransom paid to release humanity from the dominion of sin, death, and the curse of the law. Through the imagery of Jubilee, Lisa explains how Jesus restored believers to their rightful inheritance as children and heirs of God. The teaching emphasizes that salvation is a gift—not earned by works—but received through confession and faith in Christ. Listeners are urged to let God’s love penetrate deeply, transforming their emotions, thoughts, and actions, producing zeal for good works and a testimony of His power. Lisa stresses the importance of speaking faith, confessing Christ openly, and remembering the cross as the supreme demonstration of divine love. The message closes with an invitation to salvation through the sinner’s prayer, calling all to embrace Christ’s redeeming love and to live watchfully in expectation of His return. Inspired Teaching - Written and/or Transcribed from Video Above: Hello and welcome to the House of Faith Ministries. I'm Lisa Kain and I'm recording this message on Thursday, September 12th, 2024. Welcome. Let's open up in a word of prayer. Father God, we lift you up and we bless your word. We bless you and we thank you for your word. Move me aside. Let your Holy Spirit do the talking here, Father God, and show us the love that you have demonstrated for us. Thank you, Father God. and let that love penetrate and let it transform us. So much so that as we walk in your word, everyone who sees us will know that it is your love that is the power behind everything that is happening in the name of Jesus we pray. Amen. Amen. Amen. God bless you. Welcome. I'm grateful that you are here. I hope that you are blessed by this content. Share it with anyone you like. Uh this is uh good teaching. Good teaching. So I hope you en enjoy it. Let's go to our opening scripture here. This message is called Do You Know His Love. And our opening scripture here is in Luke 23:46. And when Jesus had cried with a loud voice, he said, "Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit." And having said thus, he gave up the ghost. So, just to kind of reiterate a little bit of how I teach, what you're seeing here is the bolded words are the uh the original words that were used in the translation from the original to the King James in the English. And so that word could have other meanings. They could have used other words in that place. So what I do is when I bold the word in the screen that means that's the word in the Bible King James version but the ones after in the parentheses are other meanings of the word. So example here for father into thy hands I command I place alongside I present I deposit my spirit. In other words he's depositing his spirit into the hands of God. And having said thus he gave up the ghost or expired. So that's how I teach. That's how I present the scriptures to you and everything is done through the King James version. Now that's our opening scripture. So what I want to do is I want to share with you um an interesting teaching uh talking about the love of God. I'm asking you do you know his love? purpose I have for this teaching is I hope that by understanding through knowledge and what Christ did for us that it would change you by his love that the change the transformation would be emotional spiritual maybe even cause you on the inside to just break um I've been through that and I know that when you get this it penetrates deep into the heart where your thoughts and your feelings are and It transforms you. I am hoping beyond all hope that you grasp this and get it. Now remember, it's not by might nor by power. It is by his spirit. So I've been praying and asking the spirit to work through you, the listener, for this teaching. Okay? So be ready, be prepared, and listen to what the word of God is telling us today. Amen. So let's go to Psalm 49:15. But God will redeem my soul from the power of the grave. For he shall receive me. Saha. Now let's add those extra words in because I really want you to get this. But God will redeem or sever ransom, release, preserve my soul from the power or the hand and dominion of the grave which is Hades or the world of the dead. For he shall receive or take me. Sila sa not sure exactly how to pronounce sa and they don't really know what the word sa means but a lot of theologians take that as to pause and think on this but what I want you to see what the psalmist is saying here is redemption means to pay the ransom for whatever is being held captive in this case the world is what's been held by been held captive by the grave and death but by Jesus giving up his blood and life on the cross. He paid that ransom. And the psalmist in the Old Testament, thousand so years before Jesus went to the cross, he's talking about the redeemer because the redeemer has been prophesied to do this and Jesus did it. Let's go to Psalm 103:4. Who redeemth thy life from destruction? Who crowneth thee with loving kindness and tender mercies? Now let's read it with the extra words. Who redeemth? Look at this word next to kin by back thy life from destruction or the pit corruption grave. Who crowneth which means encircle compass thee with loving kindness. Favor and tender mercies compassion. Oh this is so good. So here I want you to notice something. Redeemer. Redeemth here means it has another flavor to it. Next of kin. You see what Jesus is doing when he redeems us. He's following the process Israel follows through the process of Jubilee. If you go look at Leviticus 20 and it's about verses 8 through13, you're going to find that the Jubilee is a year of rest and it happens every 50th year. And it's a not only a year of rest. So they do not eat their crops because it's already been provided. Everything was doubly provided in the 49th year. So that double portion comes out in the 49th year so that you can rest in the 50th year. But what happens is every slave, every person who had sold themselves in that 50th year is given back to the original owners. The land that was sold any time in that time frame was given back to the original owner. Jesus is paying this price as if a 50th year of Jubilee, giving us back the authority that we had with Adam and Eve before Adam and Eve disobeyed God and fell. So when this word here says next of kin, remember we are a child of God. We are joint hes with Christ. So this puts us back into eternity with Christ, not the grave, not death. The wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is life. And if you go follow that, you will see that through repentance, because of the redemption of what Jesus did, we have eternity with Christ and not death, not a dying at hell. And I love how he used the word crown there, that that word crown is placed on our heads, but it encompasses us with his favor and compassion. That's absolutely amazing. You have got to see what Christ did in this moment on the cross. He died that we might be saved. Let's go read Galatians 3:13-14. Christ hath redeemed by a ransom rescue us from the curse of the law being made a curse for us. For it is written, cursed is everyone that hangeth on a tree. That the blessing which is a fine speaking elegance of language of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ. that we might receive the promise, which is an announcement, a pledge of the spirit through faith or persuasion, moral conviction. So, what's happening here is you're seeing that Paul is reiterating what the psalmist said in in both Psalm 49:15 and Psalm 103:4. He's stating that Christ took the curse and paid it in full, buying us back from the law and placing us back into the promises or these announcements given to Abraham that we are joint hes in. So remember when he said next of kin, he is restoring us back to the state that Adam and Eve had before they fell, which is giving us the authority now to overcome. Because see, he didn't remove the law and he didn't um take away the law. You have to understand what the Lord did here. See, God is a God of rightness, justice. He established the law. So Jesus had to fulfill the law because none of us could do it. The law told us that we were sinners and we couldn't fulfill it. So, you had to have Christ do what he did because that was what God called for and he did it. But he has to leave it until he completes his entire plan that he has for us in this world. You can go look at that in Daniel 9:24. He's going to abolish sin. He's going to take care of all of this. But because we are in a justice system, we have to wait out the court system of what he's doing. Now, I want you to also notice something that Paul is uh saying here might be saved. It's a choice. You can receive this spirit, which is the spirit of Christ through faith by believing. And it is by this faith that we can know that our salvation is secure in Christ. But you can also walk away. That's incredible. So Christ not only did this to save the world, but he also did it knowing that some would not believe, some would not accept. And he still did it so that the rest of us who want to believe can get it. Oh, how precious, precious this is. This is so powerful. Let's go to Galatians now 4:es 4-6. But when the fullness or completion of the time was come, God sent forth or he sent him on a mission. He dispatched his son made of a woman made under the law to redeem, buy up, ransom us them that were under that law, that we might receive the adoption of sons. And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the spirit of his son into your hearts, which is where the thoughts or feelings are crying, "Aba, father." Oh, I hope you are getting this. What he has done, God purposely sent his son as a man born of a woman to pay the ransom and fulfilled that law that we couldn't do. You know, Satan deceived Adam and Eve and then ever since they fell, we've been born under this curse generation after generation. But it is by this law that we were held captive because we were accused of our sins by the devil in the court system. He accused us. But Jesus, part of his plan was to set the captives free. So he freed us those that choose to believe in Christ and and when you choose because you're choosing based off of knowledge. Yes, the Holy Spirit is moving through you, but he's planting this knowledge in your mind, in your heart, your thoughts, and your feelings. And he's telling you, "This is right." And you're sitting there listening to it going, "Yeah, that is right. I could tell it's right." And then you choose to believe. Now with that knowledge when we choose to believe our hearts are at a point where now we start expressing the thoughts and the feelings of what Christ did. And at that moment that's when we realize the impact of his love for us. He went to that cross. He wore a crown of thorns. He bled from the top of his head all the way to the bottom of his feet. The blood went on that cross on that piece of wood. That was a curse. Blood went on that. It traveled down because he had so much blood. When they pierced him inside that water and blood flowed. When that water went down that cross, it hit the ground. It shook the ground. And if you believe what Ron Wyatt said, he found the ark of the covenant right under that spot. The blood landed on the mercy seat, fulfilling the law that God established. That's love. Oh, I hope you're getting it. Because see, this is where we can know that we are free. We're no longer obligated to live under that law. We are free to live Christlike. We are free to live in the gift of God's life and what he did to us. Let's go look at Titus 2:14. Who gave himself for us that he might, here's that word might, redeem, ransom us from all iniquity. Look at what this word iniquity means. Illegality and purify unto himself a peculiar which were being beyond usual people zealous of good works. Oh, so what is that saying? The word iniquity means illegality. And that's what we're charged with is the iniquities of our sin. And that is where it's now we're realizing we are illegally here until we have a redemption or a redeemer or a pardon for our sins. It's like we're illegally here on this earth until we receive Christ. So this is the justice system that God has established and he works with. It means his son paid that ransom for anything we've done illegally against God. That redemption is what sets us free. That freedom causes our hearts and thoughts and feelings to change, transform. We become zealous for the goodness of things because we want to do good works. And it starts with Christ understanding what he did at the cross. That's the power of the cross. and what he did to our hearts and those good works follow. That's what we manifest once we get it. We manifest the good works because we're understanding. We have that knowledge of the love that he did for us. And we don't want to belittle it. We don't want to take it for granted. We don't want to treat it vain. This is precious that we can't be blas about it. We got to be zealous for the goodness of him. And when we do those good things, we show the world because we're sharing a testimony that God is the one who changed us on the inside. And that's where the power is. This is where the true power of God resides. It's within us because we got it. And so eventually people will get it and they'll be like, "Wow, Jesus did that for me. He did it for the whole world." Yes, but he did it for me. When you get it, oh, it's incredible. Let's go to First Peter. We're going to be in chapter 1 18- 21. For as much as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, and corruptable things are things that decay. They're perishable like or as silver and gold from your vain empty conversation received by tradition from your fathers. See, when your fathers teach you how to do things, they they tell you do it this way, do it that way. But if you don't have the love from Christ in there to do it is vain. It's empty. You can go read 1 Corinthians 13 on that verse uh 19. but with the precious which is valuable blood of Christ as of a lamb without blemish and without spot. who verily has fore ordained to know before him before the foundation or the conception of the world, but was manifest rendered apparent in these last times for you who by him do believe have faith in God that raised him up from the dead and gave him glory that your faith which is your persuasion, credence and hope, your expectation might be in God. Let's talk about that for a moment. Let's see what Peter's saying. Peter is establishing the value of God's love here. He's telling us that it isn't corruptible things that saves us. It's the blood of Jesus that paid the ransom. So many people want to do good things. They want to show God how worthy they are by their works. The thing is is it's a gift from God himself. He dispatched. He sent his son forth and said, "Go save them." And Jesus said, "I got you. I'm going to do this." And he went, "It's a gift. You don't have to do anything but believe." And yet, we want to go do works. I want to see how many people I can serve food to. I want to see how many services I can go to in a week. I want to see how much I can pray and be that better prayer and so on and so forth. And yet, it has nothing to do with that. Your salvation is of the Lord and it is a free gift. So we need to remember what the blood and the power of the cross of what Jesus did. This is why we take holy communion. This is one way to show that we remember Jesus on the cross because remember he commanded us this do in remembrance of me. Another way to acknowledge his love for us which is more important than anything else is that we shouldn't do things that are vain or empty that mean nothing. Don't take it for granted, but do those good things. And it it's something you want to do because you're portraying Christ through your actions. Your actions are being your testimony, fulfillment of the love of Christ in our hearts, but you're doing it without attitude, without complaint. You're doing it because you want to and you desire it. And you know, you're doing it for God. And this is the manifestation and the testifimmony that you're testifying through the knowledge that God designed this redemption long before the conception of the world. You are acting it out with a beautiful love and heart because that's what God does. He transforms us. And he made it, by the way, he made this apparent by prophesying it long ago through the psalmist and the prophets for us to know, to know his redemption and have this knowledge manifested in us to be the example that others can look to and be saved today. Because that's exactly what happened here. That the psalmist knew there was a redeemer, but he didn't know his name. He just knew God the father. Which remember what Jesus says, if you know me, you know the father. So that means if you knew the father, you knew Jesus. So the Old Testament had it just like the New Testament. And they can walk in that belief. They can walk in that faith. And they knew. And so God had separated those that died back then. You went to a place called paradise if you were a believer in God. And when Jesus was crucified on the cross, he descended and kicked out the gates of hell. And he grabbed those out of paradise. And by the way, on his way up, he stopped to talk to Mary Magdalene. You can go read this, and I just taught on this a few times now. But he stops with all those souls behind him, billions, and he he says to Mary Magdalene, "My God, your God, my father, your father, because Jesus restored us as the next of kin in the right standing with Christ, joint hes. We are brothers and sisters with Christ." Now, that's the power of what Jesus did on the cross. That's the love. Understand the word love in in the English language doesn't do it justice. It doesn't uh demonstrate the type of love that God is doing here. closest thing we have in our language is probably the the love of a mother to a child because um that mother she knows the child is so fragile she's holding the child in her hands who is fragile that child cannot do anything of its own she is morally obligated to take care of that child Jesus was morally obligated to come to our salvation to save us. And he did it. He did it. And he saved us. Now, I want you to see something here that's so powerful. Look at Romans 10:13. For whosoever, that is all whole. Everyone shall call upon, they're entitled. They can invoke the name, the authority of the Lord shall be saved, delivered, healed, preserved. That is what we have. We anyone who confesses who has who calls invokes on God, save me Jesus. I'm telling you, and if they're not doing it in vain, they're doing it in with the intention of God, I need you to save me. Whether they're calling on God the Father or Jesus the Son of God, either way, anyone who calls upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. You saw that happen here. In fact, it goes a little deeper. Let's see it in Romans 10. uh verses 9 and 10. We're going to go back a little bit in this this chapter says that if you if thou shalt confess or acknowledge with thy mouth your language the Lord who is supreme in authority Jesus and shalt believe you have faith in your heart the thoughts and the feelings because see it starts with knowledge thoughts and feelings that's where it starts so you're you're hearing you're feeling the thoughts and feelings that God raised awakened him from the dead, thou shalt be saved, delivered, protected, healed, preserved. Look what it says. For with the heart, that's your hearts and feelings. That's your thoughts and feelings. Man believeth unto righteousness, which is justification. You are just with your thoughts and feelings. You can have, you have the right to be just because you know that you called on the name of Jesus. And you know that when you did it, you had to have faith because you can't see that you're calling on him. I mean, you can't see him. He's not there. So, you're calling on him in faith, which is what activates God. This is so that manifests it. That pulls the thoughts and feelings. But look what else it says. And with the mouth, confession is made into salvation. So when you speak it, because everything is spoken by our mouths, this is what affects us. This is what takes us to that next level is when you speak scripture into your situation. When you speak the name of Jesus and you're calling on him whether you say anything or not, your thoughts, your hearts, your feeling is right there, it is manifesting inside of you through the anointing of the Holy Spirit. That is the Holy Spirit moving through you through his love of what he did on the cross. Even if you don't grasp it at that moment, that's what he did. So, we are saved by confession of our mouths, speaking out loud what Christ did to us because we're speaking to all the witnesses around us. Who's around us? God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Spirit, angels, demons, and the like. They're watching us. There are witnesses. So whether you have anybody else around you, whether you're in the bathroom, in the toilet, and you call on God, and no one else is around you, God is your witness. Oh, I hope you're getting that. And with that confession, that means you're using your language of faith, and you're manifesting salvation, healing, deliverance, and preservation within yourselves. And others can do this, too. Anyone can do this. Anyone could call upon the name of the Lord. And see, you don't have to just do it for salvation of eternal life. That's for even an immediate situation. If you walk into the bank and a bank robbery takes place, the name of Jesus has the authority there. He will save you, preserve you, heal you, deliver you of anything. Like I said, bank robbery, you're dealing with, you're you're worried about your soul or spirit on the inside, the just call on the name of Jesus. He saves you. That's what he did. Let's go look at the basics of what he did here in John 3 15-17. That whosoever believeth in him should not perish. Look at the word perish. It means destroy fully, lose, die, but have eternal or perpetual life. For God so loved, there's that word love. See, it's social, moral, sense, obligation. He was obligated. He loved the world. He obligated. He He kept his obligation to the world cuz you know what? God could have stopped everything long ago when Adam and Eve messed up. He could have said, "We're done. He almost did it with the flood, but he saw Noah. He saw something there." Maybe he was looking at the future from that moment. He saw Lisa, me, praising him, thanking him for saving me. Maybe he did the same for you. What a thought to think of. and to have in your heart to know that this is what he did because of his love. For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that whoever believes or has faith in him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God sent not his son into the world to condemn, decide, or punish the world, but that the world through him might be saved. There's that word saved. Save, deliver, protect, heal, preserve, and might because it is a choice. It is a choice. This is what we have based on what God did. This is what love is. The laying down of one's life to save another. Christ demonstrated that love. And we should not take it for rain or granted or empty. We should let that love fill our hearts, our thoughts, and our feelings. let it manifest us emotionally in him so that we're getting it. Because that is where the Holy Spirit does the most work because once the hardenness of your heart, your stiff neckness if you will, is broken, the Holy Spirit's in there and he's got you and he's going to continue to work in you and change you, transform you. And this helps us remember the power of the cross of what Jesus did. That Holy Spirit moving in us, transforming us. we remember and we know it. So even though we have down times or slow times or we're not in the word for a moment or two, Jesus is always there. The Holy Spirit is always there. This is how much God loves us. And I hope you get it because when you get it, you should be an emotional wreck. But you know that you're saved by his actions. Catch his love and his salvation now. Don't wait. We don't know when he will return. And he is returning. We need to be ready and watchful for his return. And there is no better time now than to get saved. Amen. Let's say the sinner's prayer together. I'm going to say it. I'll pause and allow you to speak it and let's close in this sinner's prayer. Amen. Dear Jesus, we ask you to come into our hearts where our thoughts and feelings are. And we ask you to forgive us of our sin, of our iniquity, of our illegal status. And we ask you to be our Lord and Savior and to help us be saved, delivered, healed, and preserved in anything we face. Thank you. In the name of Jesus we pray. Amen. Amen. Amen. God bless you. I hope you are blessed. Share this message with others who need to hear and need to know what God love God's love is. And I will see you in the next message. Bye-bye. Home Previous Next
- SEVEN SPIRITS OF GOD | House of Faith Ministries (HoFM)
SEVEN SPIRITS OF GOD 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. SEVEN SPIRITS OF GOD 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. Inspired Teaching - Written and/or Transcribed from Video Above: 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 Previous Next

LET YOUR HANDS BE STRONG The objective of this teaching is to encourage believers to strengthen their faith and hold firmly to the Word of God as revealed through prophecy. Drawing from Zechariah 8, the lesson emphasizes the importance of recognizing God’s promises for the future, understanding the prophetic scriptures concerning the millennial reign and end-time events, and preparing now by choosing salvation in Christ. The teaching aims to equip listeners with both hope for God’s future plan and urgency to live faithfully in the present age of grace. LET YOUR HANDS BE STRONG Minister Lisa Kane April 11, 2025 Objective: The objective of this teaching is to encourage believers to strengthen their faith and hold firmly to the Word of God as revealed through prophecy. Drawing from Zechariah 8, the lesson emphasizes the importance of recognizing God’s promises for the future, understanding the prophetic scriptures concerning the millennial reign and end-time events, and preparing now by choosing salvation in Christ. The teaching aims to equip listeners with both hope for God’s future plan and urgency to live faithfully in the present age of grace. Synopsis: Let Your Hands Be Strong is a prophetic teaching based on Zechariah chapter 8, where God calls His people to fasten their strength to His Word and promises. The message unfolds the prophetic vision of Jerusalem’s future restoration during the millennial reign, a time when peace, longevity, and righteousness will flourish under God’s rule. It highlights the difference between today’s age of grace, where salvation is freely offered through Christ, and the coming seven-year period of God’s wrath, known as the Great Tribulation. The teaching explains that Zechariah’s prophecy points to events that have not yet been fulfilled—such as Jerusalem being called the “city of truth” and children safely playing in its streets—revealing the hope of God’s future blessing after times of judgment. It warns that unbelievers who live through the tribulation will face severe trials, while those who now accept salvation in Christ will be spared. The lesson underscores God’s righteousness as Judge, His promise to Israel’s remnant, and His ultimate victory over Satan. Ultimately, the teaching challenges believers to let their hands be strong—seizing God’s Word with faith, proclaiming salvation boldly, and standing firm in preparation for Christ’s return. It is both a call to study prophecy with spiritual discernment and an urgent reminder that today is the day of salvation. Inspired Teaching - Written and/or Transcribed from Video Above: Hello and welcome to the House of Faith Ministries. I'm Lisa Kaine and I'm recording this teaching on Friday, April 11, 20125. Welcome. Glad you can join us. 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. Thank you for your prophetic word, Father God. Give us wisdom, knowledge, and understanding in understanding your prophecy. For you are the spirit of prophecy. and we come before you, Father God, and humble ourselves to hear your word and to know that your word is a part of our lives and let it manifest through our mouths. Let us hold on to it with strength and let us walk in the authority of your word. In the glorious name of Jesus, we pray. Thank you, Father God. Amen. Amen. Amen. Glad you can join me. This this teaching is going to be called Let Your Hands Be Strong. And we're going to be focusing here in Zechariah chapter 8. So our opening scripture here is thus saith or God appoints and calls. Thus sayith the Lord of hosts, let your hands or your power be strong or fastened upon seas ye that you hear like what you hear intelligently in these days these words by the mouth of the prophets which were in the day that the foundation of the house of the Lord of hosts was laid that the the temple might be built. So, Zechariah is one of the minor prophets in this um he prophesies about uh the end times. He is talking about latter days here. So, I am not God. I do not fully understand prophecy, but there's some very interesting things in this chapter that I do want to get across to you. Uh but I do believe based on my current understanding of end time prophecy here in the now um that this is actually futuristic prophecy because it hasn't happened yet uh of what Jerusalem will be like uh or the um the millennium reign, the 10,00ear millennium reign. I think this chapter is focusing on that time and we're going to get to that scripture and we're going to see it. So let's start at verse one again. And the word of the Lord of hosts came to me, saying, Thus sayeth the Lord of hosts, I was jealous or envious for Zion with great jealousy, and I was jealous for her with great fury. Thus sayith the Lord, I am returned unto Zion. And Zion is what's called a permanent capital. And of course, it becomes a name uh unto Zion, and will dwell or lodge or reside there in the midst of Jerusalem. Jerusalem is a founded peaceful city is the name of Jerusalem. And Jerusalem shall be called a city of truth and the mountain of the Lord of hosts, the holy mountain. As of right now, Jerusalem is not called the city of truth. So this is futuristic prophecy that we are talking about that has not happened yet. We are in the age of the church or grace, grace, dispensation of grace. This is where we the church teach on salvation. But we were given revelation of the future of prophecy of what's coming so that we can teach the unbeliever. You don't want to go through that. It's bad. When you know during that seven-year time period of God's wrath or the great tribulation, whatever you want to call it, I I believe it's called God's wrath in the scripture, but some people do refer to it as the great tribulation. You don't want to be living in that time frame. Let me just simply say that when the day of the Lord comes and the day of the Lord comes when the sixth seal is open. When that day happens, that's day one of this seven-year time period. Okay? If you're alive on that day and you are not a believer in Christ, then you are appointed to go through that seven year. Now, by the time you get to that end of that seven year, it says that man will be finer than over gold. Oh, wow. So most people will die by the end of that seven-year time period. The whole world is going to change drastically physically, mentally, spiritually. It's going to be a different world. And by the time that end of that seven-year time period comes, whoever the survivors are, they're going to repopulate the earth. My guess is going to be Israel. Israel and their offspring and whomever else happens to survive that time period. They're going to repopulate the earth for a thousand years. So during that time, the devil will be bound up. I if you take a look at prophecy like this, God is making a case against the devil. He's a lawyer, if you will. Now, he was the judge who appointed all the rules and regulations. So now he's testing. He's seeing what is the issue. Where is the problem? And the problem is sin. And as he gathers all of his data throughout the centuries, that's going to be used in the case to judge the devil permanently where he will end up in the lake of fire. And yeah, I I read at the end of the book of Revelation and we win. If you're on God's side, we win. And the devil will be permanently in the lake of fire. But for this thousand years, he's going to be locked up and then re-released to see is it really him that's doing this issue is causing people to sin. And you will find that even the people during this time that Zechariah is talking about that I believe is talking about when um he the people at that time they're going to be deceived again. So here they're going to know our history. They're going to see everything that has happened. They're going to be told the stories and at the end of that thousand years, devil's going to be re-released. And guess what? People are going to fall for him again and be deceived. Again, though, this is so that God can accumulate the data that he needs to judge because he's a righteous judge. He will not judge haphazardly. He doesn't do it out of emotion. He doesn't do it biasly. He does it righteously and faithfully because that's who our God is that we serve. Amen. Okay. Continuing on. Uh verse four. Thus sayith the Lord of hosts, there shall yet old men and old women dwell in the streets of Jerusalem and every man with his staff in his hand for very age. See very age. This is also people will live long again during this thousand year. My guess is all the people. It will be a rare thing for let's say a hundred year old dies. They will be that will be considered so rare and young. He will be he or she will be considered young if they die like that during that time period. I I don't know what the world is going to be like during that thousand years. I don't need to know it because I I'm not going to live through this. And if you know I'm working on a study right now about end time prophecy. So, we the church will not be here for that seven-year time period. Think of it like this, just for an analogy off the top of my head. When the two witnesses come down and they're casting out fire and plagues against people and killing people with it because they're judging those people who are attacking them at that moment, ask yourself this. Where's the church? Bible doesn't tell you. I'm going to tell you right now, if I saw those two witnesses there and I recognized it from the word of God, oh, you better believe I'm going to be on a plane and I'm going be there by their side because they're on God's side and I'm going to be on God's side and I'm going to follow that. But since the scripture doesn't say that the church will do that, it means the church will be gone during this time. So right now what you see is this prophecy is telling you that the old men and the old women are going to be in the streets of Jerusalem and they're going to be at they're going to be holding their staff for they're going to be very age and the streets of the city shall be full of boys and girls playing in the streets thereof. Right now that's not the case. So this is definitely all futuristic prophecy that has not come to pass yet. Now, does this mean it has to come to pass before the seven-year time period? No. Like I said, I'm thinking that this is part of that thousand-year millennium reign. Again, I'm not God. I could be wrong. I'm just based on the facts that I see uh in the scripture and what I know thus far. That's what I'm calling it to be. You do your homework, do your research, and let the Holy Spirit speak to you. I hope to motivate you to get involved with end time prophecy. Amen. Verse six, thus sayeth the Lord of hosts, if it be marvelous or distinguish in the eyes of the remnant. See, and here, okay, remnant. Let me finish reading the scripture. Rem remainder residual of this people in these days, should it also be marvelous in mine eyes? You see, it is going to be crazy that old men and old women with their staffs and the boys and girls running around on the streets of Jerusalem. Why? Because if you look at Jerusalem today, the there's so much anti-semitism out here. It's incredible. People just do not like the Jews. It's a spiritual thing. It does go back to Charles Darwin though and classifying them as animals and that cultures read that and believed it and believed in evolution. It's been cultivated in the cultures. So all these people who have been taught by parents, grandparents, great-grandparents for throughout the generations of their lives consider them dogs, animals, and that they're not human. And so they justify, hey, if you got to go kill a dog or a horse, you can go kill an Israeli. That's what they justify this to be. So to see old men and women and children playing, it's a very distinctive thing. And we know we know that that hasn't happened yet. So here we're looking at a particular prophecy that hasn't happened yet. And it's incredible. It's an incredible read. And remember what foresight is when you're looking at pro prophetic scripture. You don't know how everything you don't even know how that can be. I mean other than the fact that during the millennium range reign that the devil is locked up which means nobody is being influenced by demonic spirits telling you to hate, hurt, betray. No, this thousand years is going to be a peaceful time until Satan is released again. So this is a marvelous thing that's going to be done and people are going to see it. Let's continue on. Verse seven, thus sayeth the Lord of hosts, behold, I will save my people from the east country and from the west country. I don't know who those countries are. I just know that at the end of that seven-year time period and Armageddon tries to come and attack, they are saved by God. Jesus himself is going to come down on a white horse and his his pants are going to say faithful and true. And there's another name on there that we don't know. But he knows that's him coming down and he doesn't even have to do anything. He speaks a word to defeat those that are coming after. That's key here. So, as we look at this future prophecy, look at how Jesus handled Armageddon and how they came to attack Israel. Now, let's continue on. And I will bring them and they shall dwell in the midst of Jerusalem and they shall be my people and I will be their God in truth and in righteousness. So, here's something interesting. Let's look at that again. says, "And I will bring them and they shall dwell in the midst of Jerusalem." We know that there is a new Jerusalem coming. But this is even before the new Jerusalem. See, the new Jerusalem is going to come after. See, Jesus prophesied the heaven and earth shall pass away, but not his word. So, until that happens, you've got this city of Jerusalem that's still going to be residing. And so he is saying the people are going to be in Jerusalem coming and serving him. Uh they're going to be in the midst of Jerusalem. They're going to be my people. And it's a remnant. Remember in the previous scripture, it's a remnant. So these are the survivors of that time period. I remember in that seven-year time period, right after um I think it's in uh Revelation 7 or 8, you will see that the angel of the Lord will put a mark on the 144,000 male boys or Jewish men who have not been defiled by a woman and it'll be 12,000 of each tribe. So, it's 144,000 and then the two witnesses are going to come down. They're going to be sealed and they're going to be protected during this time. Somehow someway at the end of all of that, there will be survivors and they will repopulate the earth. And here they're going to be in Jerusalem in the city of Jerusalem hanging out together in the midst. Again, it's a marvelous thing. This is things that we cannot see or understand today. And the world is going to be completely different because there going to be some great earthquakes that are going to happen. And we know that the economy breaks right in right after the abomination of desolation. You've got Babylon falls. That's the entire economic situation of the world. That's all going to collapse. So this whole thousand years is a world we do not know or recognize. And this prophecy is saying it's marvelous. So why teach this? And I'm I'm going to read more of Zechariah. We're going to get more into this end times. But I want you to know and understand that you do not you may not be one of the survivors in that seven-year time period. We don't know as teachers today of future prophecy. We don't know how you get saved during that seven-year time period. It says something like about beheading, but we're not 100% certain. We know that there's seven thunders that are going to speak, but God told John, "Don't write down what they say." Why? Because God doesn't want people to know that you can get saved through this other method at that time. If that is true, we don't know that. We don't know that. That's what they say. So, the church preaches today to get saved. Now, don't wait. Don't wait. You don't want to go through that time. Yes, it will be beautiful afterwards, but God is going to pour out his wrath. And I'm going to tell you right now, every unbelieving person, and that's Israel included, because he's only going to seal 144,000. Every unbelieving person during that time is going to suffer God's wrath. Oh, you don't want to go through that. In fact, the first five months and you can go read the scriptures, nobody can die because people are going to try to kill themselves thinking they can get out of it, face them on the other side. Guess what? Death is going to go on a vacation. What's going to happen to you at that that time? It's going to be crazy. Seriously crazy. Let's continue on with the prophecy. Verse nine. This is our opening scripture. Thus saith the Lord of hosts. So he's appointing a call. He's calling. He's pointing us. Says, "Let your hands, your power be strong, fast and upon seas. What you hear intelligently in these days, these words, by the mouth of the prophets, which were in the day that the foundation of the house of the Lord of hosts was laid, that the temple might be built." So they're talking about when the prophets wrote this, which is when the second uh temple was going to be laid. And and when they built that temple after the destruction of the first temple and they came back to it, it was there were people still alive who saw the first temple and when they saw the second temple, they just wept wept bitterly because it was nothing like the first temple. So look at this is what's key. This is what this message is all about. Says, "Let your power fasten on what you hear." You see, you we have to be hearing what the prophets are talking about because you and I are the church and we have to teach that we do not want people to go through God's wrath. Now is the time to get saved. Now is the time of grace. Now is the time to call upon the name of the Lord and be saved. Romans 10:13, anyone whosoever calls upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. That's you. That's me. All of us have the opportunity to be saved. Now, it's not true during that seven-year time period. And it's going to get worse in that time period when the abomination of desolation happens, which is this is all about Israel. The seven-year time period is about Israel and the unbelievers when the um this is the time by the way that evil you have the beast, you have the prophet uh the and Satan himself are the ones that are going to be in control of this time period and they're going to be misleading and deceiving Israel. So that first three and a half years in this sevenyear time period of peace. That first three and a half years is all about deception to Israel. They think, "Oh, we've got our f they think the Messiah came for the first time, but it's a deception." So they're starting to do their daily sacrifices again. And then in right in the middle, 3 and 1/2 years in the seven-year cycle, this demonic being tells Israel, stop the daily sacrifices. He sits on the throne because the temple will be built. So, he will sit on that temple and he's going to say, "Worship me." And that's when Jesus says in Matthew 24, "Run. You need to run. Don't even go back and get your things. Just run. And that's when all of a sudden, Israel is going to recognize we've been worshiping the wrong person, the wrong God. This is not our Messiah. And they're going to run. And that last three and a half years, you think that first half was bad. That last p last half is the worst. This is where the rest of the remaining human people on the face of the earth, a good chunk of them are going to die in that time period. And it's because of God pouring out his entire wrath on these people and what he allows to take place. This has to happen because of sin. because of what started off as perfect when creation was created. Now you have this and this is um this is coming. This is why we the church need to be teaching on salvation. Now is the time to get saved. It's most important to teach about salvation than anything else. Get saved. So be um apologetically aware of the word of God. You need to know your scripture. You need to be able to defend defeat. The people who are under a strong delusion right now have all kinds of weird questions. You need to be in prayer. You need to be fasting in prayer. This is the time where you need to set aside what yourself wants and put God first so you can save lives. That's what's most important and critical here and now. Amen. Verse 10. For before these days there was no hire for man. Look at that. payment of contract. See, now at the days of the prophets, because that's where we're at. You're seeing that there's nothing's been paid for. Jesus hadn't paid the price yet. Catch this. This is very important. For man, nor any hire for beast, neither was there any peace to him that went out or came in because of the affliction. For I set all men against everyone against his neighbor. You see, we do not trust people. And it is very challenging to trust people's trust trust our family members, our neighbors. Man, we have a hard time trusting. And this is because the Lord set this sign, this time of affliction. We're in what's called a narrow or tight place. We don't have peace, which is safety, happiness, health, and prosperity. These are the things that are fully not there. However, if you're a believer in Christ, you have his hedge of protection around you. But this is the time when this prophet wrote this and he's talking about that remnant. They didn't have that at that time. But he's prophesying it's going to be coming. But he's saying there was no payment. And see now there's payment. Says, "But now I will not be into the resid residue or the remainder of this people as in the former days, say the Lord." So, he's going to treat you differently in that thousand year than he does uh prior to that. See, uh Israel went into captivity at the time of Babylon and then they were out for 70 years or they were in captivity for 70 years. Daniel figured it out. The vision of the seven years comes to Daniel in that time period. And then we know the Persians and the Greeks and we know that Rome comes in and we know that there are these futuristic um events that are coming. The day of the Lord, the abomination of desolation, the seven-year time period, the millennial range reign, and then judgment day. We know these things are coming. So he says, I'm going to treat you differently. This is why I'm talking about the millennium uh millennium rain. Reign. Boy, that's a tough one to say. The thousand year reign says for the seed through prosperity prosperity shall be prosper safe happy prosperity peace the vine shall give her fruit and the ground shall give her increase and the heavens shall give their due and I will cause the remnant of this people to possess all these things the remnant of this people these are the ones who are going to survive and look they're going to have peace and prosperity they're going to be treated differently. They're going to have this time. God is going to give them give them this time and period to have this health, peace, prosperity. Let's continue on. Verse 13. It shall come to pass that as you were a curse among the heathen. Right now they're a curse. People are cursing them left and right. anti-semitisms big time says, "Oh house of Judah and house of Israel, so will I save you and ye shall be a blessing uh which is prosperity benediction. Fear not, but let your hands be strong." There it is again. Your power fasten or seize upon these words. We need to know the word of God. We need to let our hands, which is our strength, our power, grab hold and seize the word of God and understand it and not let go. Not let go. This is a time where we need to be giving precedence to the word of God. It should be a priority in our lives. We should be holding on to it. We should be praying it into others. We should be declaring it because the prophet back in that day, Zechariah, which is who we're reading today, is prophesying, you got to hold on to these things because this is what's going to get you through. I promise you. See, this is a promise from God. I'm going to bless Jerusalem. I'm going to bless you with peace and prosperity. But it is coming after the last seven years. They owe God in punishment. They were assigned 490 years. Daniel, you go read Daniel and they got seven years left. But this is to close out vision and prophecy to bring an end to sin, an end to transgression. Go read Daniel 9:24. Do a little homework and read that because I'm limited on time. I can't bring all this in into a 30-minute teaching. But know that God is going to bring them peace when all that time is done and passed. For thus sayaith the Lord of hosts, as I thought to punish you when your fathers provoked me to wrath. Now he is talking about them being in the wilderness, sayeth the Lord of hosts, and I repented. He he did a strong breath and he had pity on them. And he so he didn't he says I repented not, but you know he wanted to do this. He decided not to. This is why he did what he's doing now. He backed off at that point. Decided, let's let me do it this way. It's like a turning point, if you will, in the history of Israel. So again, have I thought in these days to do well unto Jerusalem and to the house of Judah, fear ye not. He's telling you, don't be afraid, Israel. I'm going to bless you. I'm going to take care of you. I've got your back. I'm your God and I'm going to be there with you. Hang in there. And then in verse 16, these are the things that ye shall do. You're going to speak ye every man the truth to his neighbor. You're going to execute the judgment or verdict of truth and peace in your gates. You see now when you talk about that time they're going to be walking in truth. They're going to be walking in the word of God and they're going to be executing judgment verdict at their gates which is their opening of their city. And let none of you fabricate or imagine evil in your hearts against his neighbor. and love no false oath that no curses, no uh sworn curses for all these things that I hate, sayeth the Lord. So the Lord is saying this is going to be different. I don't want you doing what you did before. I want you to speak truth and execute judgment verdict. This is what you're going to do in that thousand years. We know that the martyrs are going to be serving at that time with their new bodies, ruling and reigning over that thousand years. So you have that with Israel speaking truth and executing verdicts and judgment. That's what's going to be going on during this time. As to the details of that, I don't know. It's not revealed to us. But I know that God says, "Hang in there. Do not have any fear. I will take care of you. I am going to bless you. You are going to be a blessing. You read the rest of that chapter, you're going to find out that people are going to be coming to the Jews and grabbing on to them and saying, "I want to go to worship God with you." That will be the other people that will survive. See, there's going to be two groups of people that are going to survive the end of the seven years. You got Israel and you have whoever didn't take the mark. Which did they actually call Jesus the son of God? I don't know if that's how they get saved or not, but they will be a part of this thousand year reign. This is God's promise to Israel. This is his promise to those of us who will make it into that time frame or those of them that will make it into their that time frame. You and I that believe here and now, we're going up either in the rapture or absent from the body, present with the Lord. Either way, whatever death, I'm already dead to this world as it is. Doesn't matter at this point. My eternity already began because I choose to believe that Jesus Christ is the son of God. And I am encouraging you to say it. Say it out loud. First John 4, chapter uh chapter 4:1 tells you to test the spirits. And if the spirit can't say, which is a person talking through a spirit, can't say Jesus is the son of God, well, guess what? that they're not a believer in Christ. That's how you will know. And you will also know them by their fruit. What are they producing in fruit? God is making a distinguished difference here. I hope that you're blessed by this prophetic message. It is a foresight of scripture that I don't ordinarily stop to teach on, but I did this time because I wanted you to see that if you hold on to the scripture, which is the spoken word, you hear it. Don't let go. And make sure that you tell family and friends. They may shun you. They may hate you. You know, give them to the Lord and pray over them. But let them know that salvation is now. Now is the time to receive the grace that Jesus gave us through dying on the cross and paying the ultimate price. Amen. Let's close in a word of prayer. Father God, we thank you for your word and we bless your word. You are amazing, glorious, faithful, and true. And thank you for the evidence of what's coming so that we know and can be prepared for it and that we can share with others. You don't want to live during that time. So thank you, Father God, for helping us stand strong in your word, to have the courage and the faith to share your word and to share what Jesus did on the Christ, your salvation. In the name of Jesus, we pray. Amen. Amen. God bless you. I will see you in the next message. Bye-bye. Home Previous Next
- ALTERING THE OUTCOME | House of Faith Ministries (HoFM)
ALTERING THE OUTCOME The purpose of this teaching is to reveal the authority believers in Christ have through the spoken Word of God to alter the outcome of their circumstances. By understanding the power of faith-filled confession and the indwelling Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead, Christians can overcome fear, sickness, and adversity, walking in victory and freedom as children of God. ALTERING THE OUTCOME Minister Lisa Kane December 8, 2024 Objective: The purpose of this teaching is to reveal the authority believers in Christ have through the spoken Word of God to alter the outcome of their circumstances. By understanding the power of faith-filled confession and the indwelling Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead, Christians can overcome fear, sickness, and adversity, walking in victory and freedom as children of God. Synopsis: In “Altering the Outcome,” Lisa Kane teaches on the transformative power of God’s Word and the believer’s authority to change the course of life’s challenges. Drawing from John 1, Genesis 1, Romans 8, and key passages on Jesus’ miracles and resurrection, the message shows how the spoken Word of God carries creative and life-giving power. Lisa shares a personal testimony of standing in faith for her mother’s healing from cancer, demonstrating how prayer and declaring the name of Jesus bring peace and hope in the midst of trial. She explains that believers are not bound by the law of sin and death but live under the law of the Spirit of life, empowered by the same Spirit that raised Christ from the dead. Through examples such as Jesus walking on water, raising Lazarus, and altering natural laws, listeners are encouraged to recognize that faith and spoken declarations in Jesus’ name can shift circumstances—whether in health, finances, or any area of life. The teaching emphasizes that salvation is not only forgiveness of sins but also deliverance, healing, and preservation, all accessed through confession of Jesus as Lord. Ultimately, the message calls believers to live by the Spirit, speak God’s promises over their lives, and trust Him to alter outcomes according to His power and will. Inspired Teaching - Written and/or Transcribed from Video Above: Hello and welcome to the House of Faith Ministries. I'm Lisa Kaine and I'm recording this teaching on Sunday, December 8th, 2024. Welcome. Let's open up in a word of prayer. Father God, we thank you for your word and we bless your word. And Lord, we pray that your word does not return boy. But I pray that we understand what you're teaching us through your word. That we have authority and the power to alter the outcome of any of our situations. That is to the blessings that you have given us because we know how to come to you and cry out to you. Thank you Lord for making it uh a thing that we remember that we do in every circumstance that we face. In the name of Jesus we pray. Amen. Amen. Amen. I'm so glad you can join us today. Thank you. I am calling this teaching altering the outcome. H this is going to be a very good teaching. So stick with me. We're going to start here in John 1:14. And the word was made flesh and dwelt or occupied among us. And we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the father, full of grace and truth. And the word became flesh. Let's talk about the word, the spoken word, the authority that we have to alter the circumstances of what we're in. You know, right now, I'm literally experiencing this. As you know, my mom has been dealing with cancer. She's still in the hospital and I was pretty down earlier today. But praying with others and praying in the spirit, setting time aside just to talk with the Lord. Wow. you know, the peace that surpasses understanding is fulfilling my heart right now, and I'm grateful for that. So, I would like for you to understand that concept and then to trust in the Lord and watch him change things. I'm believing that my mom is going to be sharing a powerful testimony here about cancer and overcoming it. We're going to see if that is true. And I'm trusting in the Lord that that will happen because it is not her time to go home. Not her time to go home with the Lord. She if that was the case, she would have died the last time because she had so many blood clots and sizable ones that it should have hit a brain or her heart. She should have died. She did not. So here we are. We are the house of faith ministry. So I'm hoping to teach a message on faith that uh you realize that you have the authority to change the outcome. Now you do need to be a believer in Christ first. So make sure that you confess Jesus as your Lord and Savior. If you have not done so, do that first. Uh we can do it very quickly here. You can pause the video, but basically you pray this and you repeat after me. Dear Jesus, I ask you to forgive me of my sins. Come into my heart and be my Lord and Savior. Help me to understand your word and the authority that you have given us in the name of Jesus. Amen. is that if that's the first time you've say made that statement, make certain that you get a Bible. You can use the one on the internet, www.biblegateway.com . Excellent resource. You can go buy one on Amazon or go to any bookstore. You can find Bibles there. Um, and then start reading the Gospel of John and then find a home church somewhere that is preferably non-denominational and get in there, start connecting with other believers. Amen. Okay. Okay. So, we're going to be talking about altering the outcome of whatever situation you're facing. This could be health, this could be finances, this could be any situation you're facing. I've taught a lot on this throughout the years, but it's very interesting when you put these particular scriptures together, what it does to the mind and the spoken word, what happens here. And this is why you have a lot of teachers who teach on claim it kind of things. We're not claiming it, but we're declaring the name of Jesus over it or Jesus is Lord over it. And you're going to see the scriptures tell us to do that. So don't think that you're, you know, oh, this is one of those claim it type of teachings. No, I want you to see how the scriptures are applied in this situation. Amen. So, uh, we're going to start here in John chapter 1:es 1 and two. In the beginning was the word. That word, by the way, means something said because we're talking about the spoken word. Says, "In the beginning was the word and the word that something said was with God and the word was God. The same was in the beginning with God." Well, how interesting that the gospel of John starts that way because he's saying, "Go back to the beginning and see the spoken word." That's what that says. Let's go to the beginning and see the spoken word. So let's go to Genesis 1 1-4. In the beginning, God created the heaven and the earth. And the earth was without form and void, and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. And God said here he spoke it, "Let there be light or illumination, and there was light." And God saw the light that it was good. And God divided the light from the darkness. So John is telling us go back to the spoken word because that spoken word was there in the beginning and remember my opening scripture was and that word became flesh. So the spoken power word of God became flesh which we know as Jesus the the Christ the Messiah. He came as the son of God. He was with God. He was God. He was there in the beginning. He's the spoken word. He spoke the word and he came into his own universe if you will. Okay. So in let's continue on in John chapter 1 now verses 3 and 4. All things were made or caused to be by him and without him was not anything made that was made. In him was life and the life was the light luminescence of men. Oh. So we are here for a particular reason. Jesus created this universe and he has given us the authority to use his name because when he died, he rose from the grave. He redeemed us and he gave us the authority to speak in his name and to become adopted into his kingdom where we call father God our father, aba father. This is who we believe and trust in. So Jesus is the son of God. God is the father and God the father is the one who is allowing all this to happen. Jesus created the universe and he made it so we can come in. Now watch what Paul says here in Romans 8 11-15. But if the spirit of him that raised Jesus from the dead dwell in you pause. Jesus rose from the dead. And when he came out of that grave, he came out of that grave. We're going to see scripture here in just a moment of what happened when he came out of that grave because he's life. He is a light. It can't keep him down. You see, he created this universe that we're in and he altered the rules of this universe. And he did it multiple times, but I'm going to talk about the power of the cross and what he did on the cross. And then we're going to talk about the power of the little things he did while he walked here on the earth until it was his time to go. So Paul is saying, listen, you know, he he died and this power, the spirit of him that raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you. He that raised Christ from the dead, woke Christ from the dead, shall also quicken your mortal bodies. The mortal is liable to die bodies by his spirit that inhabits in you, dwells in you. Hold on a moment. Wait a minute. This mortal body can have life because what Christ did, the same power that's in Christ is in me and can do Whoa, hold on. Let's read that scripture one more time because I think it's worth it. Amen. But if the spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his spirit that dwelleth in you. Look at this verse 12. Therefore, brethren, we are not we are debtors, not to the flesh to live after the flesh. Let's continue on. Says, for if you live after the flesh, you you shall die. But if ye through the spirit do mortify or kill the deeds of the body, ye shall live. For as many as are led by the spirit of God, they are sons of God. For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear. But ye have received the spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, "Aba, Father." Understand there's a lot in the scripture, by the way. A lot. Understand this. This is very, very important. We have the same spirit in us that's in Jesus. Well, one, he breathed into our nostrils to bring us life, did he not? He made us in his image. Man was made in his image and then he made female from the ri which then she protects the man. The whole another teaching. I've done that. You can go check it out. Here's the thing is if we have that same spirit in us, this mortal body, if we kill it, and we're not talking physical killing, we are talking spiritual killing. When you do that, you live. What happens is the moment you confess Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, guess what? You kill this body because you're telling this body, you're dead because I believe in Jesus who has already been raised from the dead. He is raised from the dead. And that's the same spirit that's in us. Now, I want you to understand something here. Jesus altered the rules as he went along. I hope you get this. This is so neat. This revelation, you see, he altered the rules. If you died a sinner, you were supposed to stay dead. That's just the way it is. And hell was made for sinners. It's made for places like the devil. But you see, God sent his only begotten son and says, "I need you to go save the people." And Jesus says, "I will go do it." So when he died because he had to and his blood went on the mercy seat and he so powerful he made this universe. He popped right out of that grave as a man with a new body because in the beginning was the word. He was spirit but that spirit came into the universe. He created. So when he said, "Let there be light," there was light. Imagine when you were a child and you made forts and you had all the sheets and blankets all around like all over the living room and your mom comes and go or you do it all over your bedroom. You have your friends over, you guys are just crawling around. I mean, and it's just so much fun to spend time playing in forts. Uh I can see the joy of Jesus wanting to enter the creation he created because it is so much fun. You get into that fort and you get to live whatever way you want. So if you have you put the sheet over here and you blocked off this path, guess what? You're in control of your universe. You pick up the sheet and move it and change it around. Now you have a path to crawl through. Jesus did that. Wait, how did he do that? Well, he did it raising from the dead because he came out alive. And well, we're going to see more scripture on that. But I want to show you another incident of when he did it. This is so neat. Matthew 14:24-33 But the ship was now in the midst of the sea, tossed or tortured with waves, for the wind was contrary. And in the fourth watch of the night, Jesus went unto them walking on the sea. And when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, It is a spirit. And they cried out for fear. But straightway Jesus spake unto them, saying, "Be of good cheer, or have courage. It is I. Be not afraid." And Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it be thou, bid me come unto thee on the water. And he said, "Come." And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water to go to Jesus. But when he saw or he became, he perceived the wind boisterous around him. You know, he was afraid and beginning to sink, he cried out. He cried saying, "Lord, save me." That word save there means deliver, protect, heal, preserve. And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand and caught or seized him and said unto him, "Oh, thou little faith incredulous or lacking confidence, wherefore dust thou doubt?" You know, why did you doubt? Why did you waver is what he's saying? And when they were come unto the ship, the wind ceased. Then they that were in the ship came and worshiped or prostrate oneself adored him, saying, "Of a truth, thou art the son of God." And they became believers very, very quickly. But Jesus altered the rules. You see, he just finished preaching to a multitude. He sent the multitude away. He sent his disciples to go to the other side. And he decided to go up to the mountain to pray. I love that. He didn't care where he needed to go, what direction. He didn't care if he had somebody there or food. He stopped knowing that there's a storm and his men are in that boat that he told them to get into. And there he is on the top of the mountain praying. Now, let's get a visual of this for a moment because this is an image of what Jesus does today. He's in the high place sitting sitting at the right hand of God on the throne there and he's praying for us. He's interceding on our behalf always. That's what Jesus is doing. Well, Jesus was doing that and then he came down off that mountain and decided to go join his disciples by walking on the water to the ship. I'm pretty confident not one person in this world can walk on water. And so, the only person who could walk on water that day was who? Jesus. And then Peter said, "Well, if you're Jesus, call me to you." And Jesus said, "Come." Peter gets out of the boat and starts walking over like, "Hey, you are Jesus." And then all of a sudden he becomes aware that he's on water and he starts to sink and he says, "Jesus, save me." Spoken out loud word and immediately Jesus grabbed a hold of him and brought him up. So this is a type of what we can see Jesus and how he handles us today. We can see that Jesus altered his universe to do something he needed to do, which was to show us what it would be like when he's in heaven and we're still on earth. This was for us. I mean, I'm sure Peter was thrilled to be like the only other man that could ever walk on water. And then, you know, I'm sure he kind of didn't want to share the part where he almost sank. He's just sharing the part, woohoo, I walked with Jesus on the water. So, here you have a just one sample of the illustration of all the things that Jesus has altered on this universe. And by the way, that altering occurred afterwards. Philillip, great guy. Go look at him. Go read about him in Acts. you will find that he's suddenly there to minister to a unic who's reading Isaiah and he's curious who is this Isaiah talking about. So, Philip ministers to him, witnesses to him, ends up accepting Jesus as his Lord. He baptizes him. When he comes out of the water, Philip's gone. He's gone on to another town instantly. It's uh he's not there. And again, you're seeing the alteration of the universe. You see, sin came into the world. So, we're supposed to die, but Jesus said, "Nope, I'm going to change the rules." And he changed the rules, which means we don't have to live as fear or in fear that we're going to die any minute after now or any time because we have the authority in the name of Jesus. Every time we say Jesus save me or Jesus you are Lord and you speak that out. Jesus is in the midst of your situation and he's seizing you out of it, taking care of you or altering the things going on around you. So let's take a look at the death of him on the cross and what he did because again he altered the rules. He changed the rules. When you die you're supposed to stay dead. Remember he raised Lazarus from the dead. So he demonstrates when he is risen from the dead. And look what it says in Matthew 27:50-53. Jesus when he cried again with a loud voice. He's up on the cross yielded up or sent forth his ghost or the ghost and behold the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom and the earth did quake and the rocks rent and the graves were opened and many bodies of the saints which slept dead arose. That word slept means dead arose and it came out of the and came out of the graves after his resurrection and went into the holy se city and appeared unto many. I I laugh at that because imagine having Aunt Martha's funeral. you just had Aunt Martha's funeral and you know a few days later you're sitting there having um you know lunch or snack or you're working with your animals whatever here comes that Martha walking up to your home and just like the men were on the ship they saw Jesus and they were troubled or they were is that a ghost and you see Aunt Martha and you you're stunned Because see, that's not normal. That's not what this world or how this world operates. However, Jesus changed the rules. And by the way, the same spirit that's in Jesus that can change rules means that same spirit that is in us can change those rules, too. Now, let's go to Romans 8:1 and2. There is therefore now no condemnation, no verdict against us to them which are in Christ Jesus who walk not after the flesh but after the spirit. You see what happens the moment you confess Jesus as your Lord and Savior. You are spirit. You are no longer in this flesh. This flesh is dead. You crucified it and it's been crucified on the cross with Jesus. It's a goner. The flesh is dead. And because Ro uh Hebrews 9:27 or 9:23 says, you can go look it up which one it is. I think it's 9:27 says uh every man's appointed to die once. Well, guess what? If the rapture is going to happen in this generation, does that mean Paul's a liar with what he wrote in his Bible? Because we don't die, we go in the rapture. On the contrary, he speaks the truth. Because every believer out there has already died to this flesh, to the rules of this world, to the laws of this land. We're not obligated to that. I want you to catch this in your mind. I need you to understand that you have the right and the authority to alter the universe around you. You don't have to be sick. Seriously, you don't have to be in a financial s situation. Seriously, this is for reals. The Bible tells us that the same spirit that's in Jesus is going to raise us up out of that grave. So, I love it with Paul when he quoted, I think it's Joel, he quoted, he says, and I could be wrong about that. You go look it up. Oh, death, oh death, where is your sting? Yeah, where is your sting? I'm alive for eternity already here in this flesh. This is just my beginning footsteps because as a believer in Christ, I have the beginning of the power and the authority of the name of Jesus. I can alter my universe, which means I get to speak a spoken word over whatever the situation circumstance is. So, and we live by the spirit. We're choosing by the spirit. Verse two, for the law of the spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death. So you can see these two laws. Law of sin and death is what the law of this world came to be when Adam and Eve fell. So you had to die. Every generation dies. Everyone's dying. And eventually you do whether you do it at the age of two days old or at the age of 150 years old, everybody dies. But when you become a believer in Christ, Jesus says, "I altered the rules." Guess what? You're now living by the law of the spirit and you're already dead because you no longer have this flesh holding you back because you're walking in your spirit. Your spirit is manifesting. You see, when he says you have the keys to the kingdom of heaven, and he says, "Whatever you bound on earth is bound in heaven. Whatever you loose on earth is loose in heaven." He's showing us that heaven and earth, spirit and physical are related to each other. And what manifests in the spirit is going to manifest in the flesh. So if you're a bitter, hateful person who isn't walking with Christ because you're walking in the flesh because you're in anger, you're you're going to manifest the sicknesses and diseases related to hate and bitterness and anger. That's the concept of this. But if you being um in the spirit of Christ are calling out blessings and forgiveness and saying, "I'm going to forgive that. I choose to forgive that. I'm going to forgive myself because I'm already dead because the Lord has saved me. And because he saved me, none of that ever matters. Whether I was right or wrong, it doesn't matter. I'm forgiven. And because I'm forgiven, I get to alter the universe my body lives in. I get to walk in liberty, in freedom from sicknesses and diseases. I have that right because I'm in the spirit. That's what I hope you guys are catching here. Now, let's go to look at verse uh 11, going back to our opening scripture. But if the spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his spirit that dwells in you. You see, we have this ability to have the manifestation of the spoken word in us. We have a powerful tongue. And if we're confessing Jesus as our Lord, let's go read Romans 10:9. Says that if thou confess, acknowledge with my mouth, the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe or have faith in thine heart that God has raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved, delivered, protected, healed, preserved. So the moment you say, Jesus, save me, like Peter did in the water, Jesus is obligated to save you. He wants to save you. He loves you that much. He's going to save you. So, he's going to get you out of your circumstance and situation. And by the way, there are many, many, many testimonies that tell you how many people spoke the name of Jesus and their situation changed. And I just I love hearing some of these testimonies. There's a a former homosexual man who, you know, he he thought it was funny. He I love his testimony. When he was uh gay, he he kept saying, "It's not a sin. It's not a sin." And he went and looked it up in the Bible to find out. And when he found out what the Bible actually said, he confess Jesus as his Lord and Savior. He's a man now that ministers to the homosexual homosexual uh comm uh community. He's ministering to them. Why? because he's telling them, listen, I believe the way you believe that it's not a sin, but guess what? It is, and I didn't want to go to hell, and I know you don't want to go to hell. So, he's ministering to them. He altered the universe around him. He called on the name of Jesus, got saved, his life changed because it's a mental thing. You're dealing mentally with this kind of stuff. He altered the way he thought. He went from the flesh to the spirit and he's letting people know there is a God. He's real and he's coming back. Now, does that mean he's this perfect creation? No. But I know that after he got saved, he lost his job. Woke is all in its finest hour there. And he had to lose his apartment. But he called on Jesus. And all of a sudden, he got a podcast going. He got an apartment. People were donating to him. You see how the Lord moves just in that testimony. His name is Richard. You can go find him on Tik Tok and I'm sure you can find him. But I remember because I I've been praying for that community, the LGBTQ plus community. I pray for wokeism, Black Lives Matters. I pray for these. that I know that my prayers are altering the universe because it's allowing the spirit to move forward because see prayer works because what did he say? I confess with my mouth the Lord Jesus and believe that God raised him from the dead. How do you believe that God raised someone from the dead? Well, you start talking about Jesus and you can't see him. That's faith. Look at this. Says uh with thy mouth the Lord Jesus and shalt believe or have faith. And what is faith? Things hoped for that we can't see yet. That's how God operates. He operates with faith. So for me, I'm altering the universe. I pray over my mom and I declare the name of Jesus. This is why I believe there's a testimony coming out of here. Lord's not done with her. And you know, I'm not praying, by the way, asking that she live forever. I I want y'all to understand. I don't want her to die this way because cancer is from the devil. That is a sickness and a disease. That's an attack on the physical body. And it it's our faith that has to rise up so we can be healed. And remember, Jesus not only healed by healing people, by laying hands on them or or anything like that. He would say many times, "Your faith has made you whole." meaning we have the authority to be made whole through our faith. So we I'm trying to teach this is why we're called the house of faith ministries trying to show you that when you speak the Lord Jesus that's what he says the Lord Jesus and believe that God raised him from the dead what does it say there it says you will be saved that word saved has multiple um uh definitions delivered protect healed preserved that is our blessing by saying Jesus is Lord Lord. Jesus, you are Lord over my mind. Jesus, you are Lord over my body. Jesus, you are Lord over every ache and pain. Jesus, you are Lord over sickness and diseases because he rose from the dead and he came out. That same power of life and authority is in you. All you have to do to alter your universe is to say, "Jesus, you're Lord. I have to trust in you. I have to give this to you. I'm not going to worry about it. I'm not going to stand another minute in this. This is yours. I'm going to let you deal with it because it is not by might nor by power, but is by your spirit." Amen. Let's close in a word of prayer. Father God, we thank you for your word. I pray that this word is uplifting and encouraging to those who hear it, that they apply it, that they start calling the name of Jesus over all of their circumstances, and that they live by faith, knowing that they can alter their universe just like you altered the universe as you walked on this earth. Lord, we love you and honor you and praise you and bless you for you truly are mighty and faithful in the name of Jesus. Amen. Amen. God bless you and I will see you in the next message. Byebye.

- SALVATION OVERCOMES | House of Faith Ministries (HoFM)
SALVATION OVERCOMES To reveal that true salvation, found only in Jesus Christ, empowers believers to overcome sin, adversity, and the deception of evil. Through faith, confession, and trust in the Lord, salvation becomes not only the key to eternal life but also the strength, peace, and victory that sustain us in this present world. SALVATION OVERCOMES Minister Lisa Kane November 5, 2025 Objective: To reveal that true salvation, found only in Jesus Christ, empowers believers to overcome sin, adversity, and the deception of evil. Through faith, confession, and trust in the Lord, salvation becomes not only the key to eternal life but also the strength, peace, and victory that sustain us in this present world. Synopsis: Salvation Overcomes draws from Psalm 37 and other key scriptures to show that the distinguishing mark of the righteous is their trust in the Lord’s salvation. While the wicked may appear to prosper, their end is destruction; the salvation of the upright, however, brings peace and divine strength. Minister Lisa Kane teaches that the experience of salvation walk of confession, partnership with Christ, and faith in Christ causes the believer to overcome in any situation including death. Through passages such as Romans 10, 2 Corinthians 6, and Ephesians 1, she reveals that believers are sealed by the Holy Spirit, strengthened in times of trouble, and called to live lives worthy of the gospel. By declaring and living in the reality that “salvation is of the Lord,” we rise above adversity, reflect God’s glory, and demonstrate that through Christ we are more than conquerors—for truly, Salvation Overcomes. Inspired Teaching - Written and/or Transcribed from Video Above: Psalm 37:37-40 NKJV 37 Mark the blameless man, and observe the upright; For the future of that man is peace. 38 But the transgressors shall be destroyed together; The future of the wicked shall be cut off. 39 But the salvation of the righteous is from the Lord; He is their strength in the time of trouble. 40 And the Lord shall help them and deliver them; He shall deliver them from the wicked, And save them, Because they trust in Him. Ahhh…to be saved. Salvation makes the difference between a person living and walking in evil ways to a person living and walking in salvation. Salvation is from the Lord and we can choose to live by that salvation by choosing good. This decision allows us to be strong when it seems like evil is winning. I encourage you to read all of Psalm 37 as it makes a distinct difference between walking in salvation or being an evildoer. Acts 4:12 NKJV 12 Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.” Salvation comes from our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. He died on the cross to redeem us of our sins. Without that, we cannot be saved. With this salvation, we can choose to live godly lives and with that decision we overcome. Remember our opening scriptures: Psalm 37:37-38 NKJV 37 Mark the blameless man, and observe the upright; For the future of that man is peace. 38 But the transgressors shall be destroyed together; The future of the wicked shall be cut off. Those choosing Christ salvation lives in peace and the wicked shall be cut off. It is an understanding frustration when we see the wicked prosper and seem successful but remember, we have something much better and lasting throughout the ages – salvation from the Lord. Romans 10:10 NKJV 10 For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. And it takes speaking with our mouth, confession made unto salvation. I’ve taught this before that it is our mouth that makes the difference in how we walk in salvation, or deliverance over anything we face. We can declare Jesus is Lord over anything by reading verse 9: Romans 10:9 NKJV 9 that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. This is what saves us. We need to speak out loud. 2 Corinthians 6:1-2 NKJV We then, as workers together with Him also plead with you not to receive the grace of God in vain. 2 For He says: “In an acceptable time I have heard you, And in the day of salvation I have helped you.” Behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation. You can see from 2 Corinthians 6:1 that we work together – we speak God’s word and partner with our heavenly Father to not walk in vain, pride, or anything opposite salvation from the Lord. Today is the day of salvation. Ephesians 1:13-14 NKJV 13 In Him you also trusted, after you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation; in whom also, having believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise, 14 who[d] is the [e]guarantee of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, to the praise of His glory. This salvation places a seal over our lives guaranteeing our inheritance, in which we overcome. THANK YOU HEAVENLY FATHER! Jonah 2:9 NKJV 9 But I will sacrifice to You With the voice of thanksgiving; I will pay what I have vowed. Salvation is of the Lord.” While Jonah was in the belly of the fish, he cried out declaring salvation is of the Lord. It’s important to remember that in times of trouble, where it seems like there is nothing else we can do, we cry out to the Lord and declare salvation over that situation. Psalm 3:8 NKJV 8 Salvation belongs to the Lord. Your blessing is upon Your people. Selah Psalm 37:38 NKJV 39 But the salvation of the righteous is from the Lord; He is their strength in the time of trouble. Remembering salvation becomes a strength we draw on. Psalm 68:20 KJV 20 He that is our God is the God of salvation; and unto GOD the Lord belong the issues from death. You see salvation isn’t just overcoming death, it overcomes anything we face. We walk in peace…remember our opening scripture: Psalm 37:37 37 Mark the blameless man, and observe the upright; For the future of that man is peace. So, yes, our eternity in heaven is something to always look forward to but we can see God overcome current issues we face in the now. Philippians 1:27-30 NKJV 27 Only let your conduct be worthy of the gospel of Christ, so that whether I come and see you or am absent, I may hear of your affairs, that you stand fast in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel, 28 and not in any way terrified by your adversaries, which is to them a proof of perdition, but [f]to you of salvation, and that from God. 29 For to you it has been granted on behalf of Christ, not only to believe in Him, but also to suffer for His sake, 30 having the same conflict which you saw in me and now hear is in me. Knowing our salvation is from the Lord and choosing to walk in it, that becomes worthy of the gospel of Christ. This causes us to be a demonstration of what salvation can do for us. People will see the difference between evildoers and believers in Christ, and which one you represent. 1 Thessalonians 5:8-9 NKJV 8 But let us who are of the day be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love, and as a helmet the hope of salvation. 9 For God did not appoint us to wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ, God made salvation for us. Let’s choose to walk in that salvation and avoid the upcoming wrath set for the evildoers. Romans 8:37 NKJV 37 Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. After all, we are more than conquerors because Salvation overcomes. Home Previous Next
- JUDGEMENT: BELIEVER VS UNBELIEVER | House of Faith Ministries (HoFM)
JUDGEMENT: BELIEVER VS UNBELIEVER The objective of this teaching is to explain the biblical doctrine of judgment, contrasting how believers and unbelievers will be judged by God according to Scripture. The message seeks to clarify misunderstandings regarding death, the rapture, and the final judgment, while encouraging believers to cultivate a true relationship with Christ and invest in their eternal future through faith and works. JUDGEMENT: BELIEVER VS UNBELIEVER Minister Lisa Kane August 28, 2024 Objective: The objective of this teaching is to explain the biblical doctrine of judgment, contrasting how believers and unbelievers will be judged by God according to Scripture. The message seeks to clarify misunderstandings regarding death, the rapture, and the final judgment, while encouraging believers to cultivate a true relationship with Christ and invest in their eternal future through faith and works. Synopsis: In this teaching, Lisa Kaine opens with Revelation 20:15, emphasizing the eternal consequences for those whose names are not written in the Book of Life. She explains the concept of judgment after death, distinguishing between the believer’s judgment at the Bema Seat of Christ and the unbeliever’s judgment at the Great White Throne. Drawing from Hebrews 9:27–28, she addresses the apparent contradiction of individuals like Enoch and Elijah who never died, connecting them to prophetic roles in Revelation as potential witnesses. The teaching explores how rapture, though instantaneous, can also be understood as a form of death, aligning with Paul’s declaration that all are appointed to die once. For believers, judgment is not about salvation but about works—the quality of their lives tested by fire (1 Corinthians 3). Precious works will endure as jewels and rewards, while empty deeds will be burned away. Believers are urged to live as God’s temple, maintaining a true relationship with Him rather than settling for superficial devotion. In contrast, unbelievers will face the Great White Throne judgment (Revelation 20:11–15). Their names not found in the Book of Life will result in condemnation and eternal separation from God in the lake of fire. Even those who considered Jesus merely a prophet or lived by “good works” apart from faith will be judged according to what was engraved in the books. The message closes with a call to salvation through Jesus Christ, affirming His atoning work on the cross and offering the sinner’s prayer as a step toward eternal life. The overarching theme is God’s mercy and grace, urging listeners to secure their eternal future by faith in Christ and by living in obedience and service to Him. Inspired Teaching - Written and/or Transcribed from Video Above: Hello and welcome to the House of Faith Ministries. I'm Lisa Kaine. I'm recording this message on Wednesday, August 28th, 2024. Welcome. Let's open up in a word of prayer. Father God, we thank you for your word, and we bless your word. We pray that your word does not return void and that we hear your word, apply your word and that you just move aside any um any offense to this word or any issues that is keeping us from applying this word and living it the way that you showed us in scripture. How to apply it, how to live it, how to know where we're going to go in our eternity, how we're going to be judged. And I thank you for the knowledge and your word that you've given us for this. We can look at our future. We can invest in our future. Thank you in the name of Jesus. Amen. Amen. God bless you. Welcome. Glad you are here. Let's go to our opening scripture. The title of this message is called judgment, believer versus unbeliever. Our opening scripture will be found in Revelation 20:15. And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire. Now, as a reminder, when I teach, and I put the scripture up on the screen here, the bolded words are the original words the King James translators used when they translated into English back in the I think as early as 1400s. Then the words in parentheses are not in scripture, but they are in the Hebrews Greek Strong dictionary as other words this word could have meant. So, I add those extra words in there for us to see a bigger, deeper picture of what the translators were working with. It really kind of opens up the scriptures. Take a look at it again. And whosoever was not written or engraved. I love it. It now the king um strong says engraved, but it means engraving. It's an engraving u like a uh you engrave glass and it's kind of permanent. See how when you look at a different meaning of it, it gives you a better understanding of that scripture. Engraved in the book of life was cast or thrown into the lake of fire. You ever see those TVs where they're kicking the guy out and they just throw him out the door? Well, that's the visual that we get from that. So, judgment um judgment has a to do with after death. Once you die, you will be judged. And that's what I'm going to be talking about today. The purpose of this teaching is to show you how you will be judged by God as a believer or judged by God as an unbeliever. And so we're going to see the difference of the two. And I'm going to take an interesting different appro approach to this because we're dealing with death once after you die. And a lot of people have issues because when you have the scriptures telling you about um after death and then there's certain people that didn't die, they have issues. So, I want to reveal a mystery that I have already taught on before, but I'm going to add it on to this teaching because I think it's very applicable and I'm hoping to diffuse um this false teaching of, you know, um especially a concept about the rapture stuff. So, I really want to deal with that. So, let's go to Hebrews. Hebrews 9 27 and 28. And as it is appointed or to be reserved, you're waiting unto men once to die. They see as you live your life, you're waiting to die because eventually you're going to die. Everybody has to die. Watch this. But after this, the judgment, which that word judgment there means tribunal, accusation, condemnation, damnation. You're you're dealing with the accusations. You're being judged. And that's what that word judgment means. Verse 28. So Christ anointed once was once offered to bear or to take up the sins of many. And unto them that look for him shall he appear the second or again time without sin unto salvation. The word salvation there is rescue safety deliver health. Now let's go back to the beginning in verse 27. And as it is appointed unto men wants to die. Paul makes a very bold statement understanding that he is very well taught in the Torah. He had spent three years in the wilderness researching, spending time with God, in order to understand grace for the um Gentiles, you and I, non-Jewish people. And so God gave him that ministry to establish the New Testament in general. So that's what Paul had done. So for him to say, "For all men are appointed to die once," he had to have known Enoch never died. Elijah never died. they, you know, let's go look at everyone who has who hasn't died because I think that's very important. Now, I'm not going to mention MelkiseDC as one of these. He has no beginning, he has no end. So, some people think, well, there's a person who never died. Well, since he has no beginning, he has no end. He actually represents God. There is and and God is infinity. He's always been there and he will always be there. So you cannot apply Melkisedc as to well he never died because he was never born either. So you have to look at it from that perspective. Okay. So but there are four people who have never died that are written in the scripture. Some of you probably thought I was going to say two. Let's go through all four of them. We have Enoch. You can go to Genesis 5:24. We have Elijah. You can go look at 2 Kings 2:11. You have Dayan and Abberam. And they're in number 1633. So now because Paul is clearly saying that everyone's appointed to die once if these men had never died then what? Very interesting right? This is why I wanted to come in at this approach to deal with judgment. So now Enoch and Elijah are two people who never died. Now there are two witnesses that are not named. We don't know who they are, but they're mentioned in Revelation, and they come and appear at the beginning of the seven-year time period of God's wrath. They are there with 144,000. They're calling fire down from heaven, plagues on the men. They're killing people who attack them. They will die after three and a half years, and their bodies will lay in um the ground for three and a half days. You can go see that in Revelation. So, all right. Is it possible that Enoch and Elijah could be those two? Some say it's Moses. But remember, Jude talks about an argument or a dispute, not an argument, a dispute between Michael the Archangel and the devil over the body of Moses. Well, that means Moses died because it's his body that they're dealing with. So, we are definitely seeing um something interesting. So those two witnesses, if you want to go find find out about them dying, they're in Revelation 11:9 in essence fulfilling Hebrews 9:27. Now remember, there's two others, Dayan and Abber. Now you can go find them in number 16. And there's something very interesting about this. Moses is is so what Nate Nathan and Abarim are doing. They're calling out Moses for being the leader. They want to be the leader. They they're like, "You're not being the leader." So Moses says, "Come up here. We're going to talk about it before God." They said, "No, they actually rebelled against." So Moses and everybody else in the camp went to their tent, um Nathan and Abraham's tent, and Moses says, "Well, if I do something uh different here, or if God does something different here, like kill them but not kill them in a way." In other words, um they don't die of what's the norm to die, then um I'm for God and I am here because of God. So that's exactly what happened. The earth swallowed up. Day and Abraham, them and their family were taken to the pit alive. Now we have what's called the prophet and the beast. You can go see them in Revelation 16 and 17. Now I want you to notice something. They're cast alive into the lake of fire. Revelation 19:20. But I thought everyone needed to die. When you die, you are judged by fire. So, we're going to see that Dayan and Abberam were judged already by fire by being swallowed up by the pit. So, they were already judged. And in because they were already judged, they were thrown into the lake of fire alive. Thus fulfilling what Paul said that all men are appointed to die at least once. But then what about the rapture? Rapture, is that a death? You'll find content about the rapture in 1 Thessalonians 4:17. It says those that are alive are going to c be caught up to meet the Lord in the clouds. So, and of course, the dead rises first and then those alive are uh changed in a twinkling of an eye. Well, Paul talks about absent from the body, present with the Lord. We're going to see that scripture here in 2 Corinthians very soon. But I want you to see that as you're you're out of your body, you're in the presence of the Lord as a believer. And rapture is for the believers. So that is also a form of death. It just happens instantaneously. I doubt we even feel it. Isn't that lovely? So Paul's telling the truth here and that's what I wanted to make sure that we understood as we're looking at these scriptures so that there is no misconception or understand or misunderstanding about God's judgment. Okay. So let's go to Revelation or excuse me Romans 14:10 and 11. But why doesust thou judge? That word judge there is to distinguish, decide, try, condemn, punish thy brother. or why dust thou set at not or contemptable despise thy brother? For we shall all stand before the judgment seat. That word judgment seat in the Greek word is beimma. You're going to hear a lot of theologians talk about the beimma judgment seat. And you'll hear that term. Well, that's what this word means. Beimma. It's a Greek word in the Greek. It means beimma. And it's just simply a step a foot breath. Tribunal of Christ is what it is. Verse 11. For it is written, there it is engraved again. As I live, sayaith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me and every tongue shall confess to God. And and that confess means to acknowledge and agree with. So here we now know everybody's going to be judged. Very simple, very truthful. That's what's happening here. Everybody is going to stand before God and face judgment. Now let's see how this is work because now we are looking at a believer and a non-believer and how does God distinguish between the two. So let's talk about a believer's judgment. So let's go to 2 Corinthians 5 6-10. Therefore we are always confident knowing that whilst we are at home in the body we are absent from the Lord. Earlier I was talking about it. when you are absent from the body, you are present in the Lord as a believer. So, we're talking about a believer's judgment. Verse seven, for we walk by faith, not by sight. And I really want to address this here for a moment because as a believer in Christ, you take what the scripture says in Romans 10:13, anyone who calls upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. And then you have Romans 10:9 says that if you confess with your mouth Jesus is Lord and believe with your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. That makes you a believer. That's where you become a believer. You don't even have to be baptized. Remember the thief on the cross? You don't have to be baptized. You become a believer at that very moment. Which means now you're going to be judged. Not be whether you believe or not because you've already called on his name. You're going to be judged by the works that you do as a believer. And I'm gonna tell you right now, there's a lot of casual Christians out there. And if you're a casual Christian, you may find the results not to your liking. So, let's continue on. Let's look at it. Verse eight. We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent or vacate or quit from the body to be present with the Lord. Let's continue on here to verse nine. Wherefore we labor, that whether present or absent, we may be accepted of him. For we must all appear before the judgment, sea, there's that beimma again, of Christ, that everyone may receive the things done in his body according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad. So now we're we're beginning to understand something here. We're seeing that we're going to be judged by what is in our body. Now remember and what we do with our body as a believer of Christ, our bodies are the temple of God. Let's go look at 1 Corinthians 3:11-17. For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ. Now if any man build upon his foundation, gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble, every man's work shall be made manifest. For the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire, and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is. If any man's work abide, which he hath built there upon, he shall receive a reward or be paid for service. If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss, but he himself shall be saved. Yet so as by fire, or that word fire there means lightning also. Verse 16, know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the spirit of God dwelleth in you? If any man defile, look at this, that word defile means to pine or waste the temple of God, him shall God destroy, shrivel, wither, ruin, for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are. So, I want you to understand something that's going on here as a believer of Christ. So your body is a temple and God is expecting you to enter your temple and have that temple be there for him to be there. So you and him have a relationship with one another. And when you have your relationship, what happens? You begin to hear God and you begin to understand God's agenda, what he's doing. and you begin to change your life in such a way because change happens to you. He's perfect. We're not. So, as you spend more time with God, his perfection begins to work and transform and change you. And suddenly, you're going to find yourself doing things you ordinarily wouldn't do because you're aware. It's like, you know what? I God wants me to talk to that person over there. Let me go do that. and and especially when you do it under obedience and under humility. Remember Moses getting the Ten Commandments. He brought the people to the temple because God told him to bring them. And then God says, "Don't let them cross the line." But Moses was the example. God spoke to Moses and Aaron directly. He didn't speak to the people directly because they didn't have a relationship with God. But they could have. Moses and Aaron did. Now, God called them to be, but I'm sure somebody was asking to speak to the Lord or to come up to him and or even to say, "Hey, Lord, I just want to shake your hand because I'm grateful for who you are and what you do." My hunch is that God would have met that and that person would have had a great relationship. You can look at David as an example who is a who had the heart after God. Oh, you see this is where this relationship now gets to be judged, measured. Did you notice what it said? It's going to it's like you're once you're absent from the body and you're going to be standing there. I don't know when this happens, by the way. I just know that it does. You're going to have a pile of stuff right there in front of you. It's going to have precious stone, silver, gold, the helmet of salvation, gold, all that is going to be there. See, you got saved. You already have a crown and it's priceless and it will not be burned by fire. Everything, stubble, hay, that's all going to be burned fire by fire. See, the fire is what's going to get you through. And when you get to the other side, what's left of your pile, you know, gossiping, all that will be burned away because that's considered hay, stubble. But when you instead of gossip, you call up somebody and say, "I'm here to pray with you. Can we pray? Let's pray. And do you need help? Let me go to your house. I'll help you. I will do this for you. Let me go get you a bag of groceries. Let me go do this. Let me bring you a meal. Let me you see that is now where you're earning your service, your payment for service that you will get as a believer when you're judged and everything is burned down. That's what's left is what transformed you, what you changed into. That's and you're going to change into this precious stone. I think it's Malachi where God says, "I will wear you like a gem, a jewel on my clothing." That is going to be awesome. But we have to get there. So what we do now is going to affect them. We have to invest in our eternal future. This is why it's so important to have the relationship. You know, just doing a simple daily devotional is not the same as having a relationship with God because there's things you need to hear and be attentive to. End time prophecy, for example, Jesus says to watch. Well, how can you watch if he says you're not going to know the day nor the hour? But see, when you are watching, because you're being obedient to him, whether you understand it or not, he begins to reveal little things to you, and you begin to understand a little more as each day goes by. That's what is in us. So, our works as a believer are going to be judged against fire. Whatever is not consumed by the fire is what we will receive payment for. That is incredible. So, let's continue on. I want you to see now we're going to go to Revelation uh 20 11 through 12. And I saw a great white throne. So, let me put this into perspective of where we're at at this great white throne. This is after a thousand years. So, as we know, there's a day coming called the day of the Lord. And that's going to trigger a seven-year time period of God's wrath. He's going to pour out the the seven seals, the trumpets, the BS. Those are going to pour out. Uh it's his wrath. It's going to pour out on that generation, those people. Now, I believe that generation is us. I don't know when it's going to happen, but I do know that it's coming. It's been prophesied. And I do know that you need to receive grace now. Don't wait to get there because we don't know how you have to believe in Christ. I do know that there are seven thunders that are going to speak. They're going to tell the world how to get saved. So, you're going to have to face that when you get there. Now, at the end of that seven-year time period, it says that men will be finer than o for gold. Okay? I don't know what o for gold is, but it must be very rare. And if you go back and you look in the days of Noah, which Jesus said it' be like the days of Noah, you will find that only four couples survived the flood. And God repopulated the earth with those three couples. You had Noah and his wife. They already had their three sons. They came across survived in the ark. And then the three sons had wives and they begin to have children. And they repopulated the earth from that point on. Well, at the seven-year time period, whoever survives that, again, it could be just three couples, who knows? But that that those people are going to repopulate the earth. Now, God is going to lock the devil up for that thousand years. The devil cannot interfere in that uh thousand-year reign. So, for a thousand years, there's going to be repopulated. Those that were martyed in in the name of Christ are going to be the ones judging this people, uh managing them, ruling over them. They're going to be the um the rulership over them. And these are the people that be risen with their uh new bodies. This is the first resurrection. They're going to cover this thousand-y year millennium. Well, at the end of that thousand year, God is going to release the devil again. And once he's loosed, he's going to gather everybody. He's going to deceive as many people as he can. They're going to gather again and Gog and Magog. And here comes Jesus doing the exact same thing. And he's going to just pull out the devil. He's going to throw him into the lake of fire. And then this white throne judgment takes place. Now, this white throne judgment is for the non-believers. Let's go take a look at this. Says, "And I saw a great white throne and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away, and there was no there was found no place for them. Heaven and earth is gone." Understand this. This is just a little extra golden nugget I'm going to throw out here. Heaven and earth is going to pass away. You can do all the recycling you want. You can plant all the trees you want. I promise you it's not going to change the prophecy. It is prophetic. Heaven and earth shall pass away. Now, it doesn't mean you don't need to do your part. Pick up your trash, throw your trash away, but it does mean you don't have to follow this green earth agenda. We got to save the earth because it's going to pass away. Understand? See? See? If you're spending time with the Lord in a relationship with the Lord, you would know this and you would not fall for that kind of teaching. That's a false ideology. Amen. Verse 12. And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God, and the books were opened, and another book was open, which is the book of life. And the dead were judged. Now, see, remember, we're absent from the body, present with the Lord, were alive in Christ. Everybody who dies without their without having their name written in the book of life, they died. They're going straight to hell because they did not make it. They come back out of hell, though. And you saw right here in verse 11, um, no, I have the scripture for it, but we're going to see that in just a moment where Hades and hell is going to give up their dead. We're going to see them give it up. That's the people that died without Christ. So, what you're seeing here is the dead. Take a look at this. and the dead were judged, distinguish, decide, tried, condemn, punish out of those things which were written, engraved in the books, according to their works, toil, and act. This is pretty incredible now. And I really want you to see how this works. You are now seeing how God is showing that I'm going to judge you. This is scriptural. He is here to judge. So even if you're evil and and let me give you an idea of how this is going to look like and we'll read the additional scriptures here in just a moment. Let's say somebody says, "Well, I never heard that and nobody ever told me that." You see the those of us alive, we're with Christ. We will be there in that white throne judgment. And then all these people that are dead and they're saying to God, "I never told." Guess what? The people that are alive, the ones that did tell that person, they're going to speak up. They're gonna say, "Hey, I I told them about that on such and such day." And the Lord will have all of it written in the books there. It will be validated. So, these dead are now being judged. They were in hell. They brought back out. They're being judged. And they're going to now go back into the cast uh into the lake of fire. They're going to be cast into that lake of fire because now he's showing them the proof of why you end up where you did. And for those that went all dramatic and crazy and cursed God and blaspheming him, well, they're probably not going to be shocked. The ones that are going to be shocked are the ones that, oh yeah, that Jesus, he's a good guy. I think he's a good guy. I mean, he's okay. Um, I think he was just a prophet, though. I don't think he's the son of God. That's the people that are going to be shocked because they're going to be standing there going, "I don't deserve this. I did the best I could. I was as good as I could be." Jesus says, "But I don't know who you are." That's what this judgment is about. Let's go on to verse uh 13, 14, and 15. And the sea gave up the dead which were in it. This is what I was referring to earlier. And death and hell delivered gave up the dead which were in them. And they were judged, every man according to the works. and death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. So death and hell is now gone. They're the ones who's been holding all of these people in hell all this time. They're gone cuz God put them in hell. They're there. So, uh, however they were holding them, whether it was a lake of fire or someplace else, and now they're going in a lake of fire, that's probably what it is. And I don't know the difference of all of that, but that's okay. We're following the scripture, just letting the Lord reveal to us what's going on. So death and hell are cast in the lake of fire. This is the second death. And who and here's our opening scripture. Whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire. So after they were judged, what is the ultimate thing is their names were not found in the written? They were not found written or engraved in the book of life because they didn't believe that Jesus is the son of God. You see, earlier we went to the scripture where it showed us that Jesus died for us and what he did. And I really like that because I want you to see how he did this. See if I can find the scripture again off the top of my head. What Jesus did. Let's see here. Ah, yes. Yes. Yes. Here we are. Here we are. Go to Hebrews again in verse 28. So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many. You see Jesus Christ is the son of God. He's the perfection. He came down as a man. He went to the cross. He took our sins on his behalf. Died carrying them and then rose from the grave three days later. That's our Jesus. That's what he did. He is the son of God. And because he did that and those of us that choose to believe, he saved us. So, we get to go be in eternal heaven with God and Jesus because we choose to believe what he did. He pardoned us. Do I deserve it? No. But since Jesus paid the price, I can accept it. That is what you can do too. That's what this is all about. And by accepting him, what are you doing? You're investing in your eternal life. Now, once you accept him, go serve. Have the relationship. Let the relationship be established. And he's going to call you to do things. And guess what? Every time you go to do something for Christ and a little of you get poured out and you feel like you're getting weary, you come back in your relationship with Christ and guess what? You refreshed, renewed. Your cup fillth over again. That is your relationship with Christ. That is where you're going to be judged by your works. Now, remember though, if you decide not to do anything, at least you will be saved by fire. What's the saying? You're you're saved by the little hair on your chinny chin chin or by the skin of your teeth. You made it by fire. You made it. You got the crown of salvation. Why? But this is how merciful God is. This is He's so merciful. He said, "Anyone who calls upon the name of the Lord shall be saved." Anyone. And he says that a minimum of three times. I think it's four times, but you got Romans 10:13, Joel 2:32, and Acts 2:21. You can go look it up. Amen. Let's close in a word of prayer. And uh why don't you repeat this prayer with me? Let's do the sinner's prayer. Let's pray it and let's just establish the firm foundation of Jesus so that we can start having that relationship and move forward in that relationship with Christ. Amen. Repeat after me. Dear Jesus, I ask you to come into my heart and forgive me of my sins. I messed up and I need your help. I need your redemption because I know you're going to judge me. And I hope that what survives of the fire is worthy, not just getting saved by the fire. Thank you, Lord. I love you in the name of Jesus. Amen. Amen. Amen. God bless you. I will see you in the next message. Bye-bye. Home Previous Next
- THE BATTLE IS NOT YOURS: PERSONAL TESTIMONY | House of Faith Ministries (HoFM)
THE BATTLE IS NOT YOURS: PERSONAL TESTIMONY The objective of this message is to encourage believers to place their trust in God when facing overwhelming battles, both personal and global. Drawing from 2 Chronicles 20:15 and supported by personal testimony, the message emphasizes that the struggles we encounter—whether sickness, family trials, or natural disasters—do not belong to us but to God. Through prayer, humility, and steadfast faith, Christians are reminded to stand firm, knowing that victory has already been secured through the Lord. THE BATTLE IS NOT YOURS: PERSONAL TESTIMONY Minister Lisa Kane October 10, 2024 Objective: The objective of this message is to encourage believers to place their trust in God when facing overwhelming battles, both personal and global. Drawing from 2 Chronicles 20:15 and supported by personal testimony, the message emphasizes that the struggles we encounter—whether sickness, family trials, or natural disasters—do not belong to us but to God. Through prayer, humility, and steadfast faith, Christians are reminded to stand firm, knowing that victory has already been secured through the Lord. Synopsis: Lisa Kane opens the message with prayer, acknowledging God’s power and faithfulness. The central scripture is taken from 2 Chronicles 20:15, where God tells King Jehoshaphat, “Be not afraid nor dismayed by reason of this great multitude, for the battle is not yours, but God’s.” This biblical foundation demonstrates how God prepared victories for His people even from generations prior, showing His sovereignty over history and present struggles. Lisa weaves this teaching into a personal testimony concerning her mother’s ongoing battle with cancer and recent medical complications. Despite devastating news and multiple delays in treatment, she testifies to God’s sustaining hand through visions, dreams, and the unwavering faith of her family. These experiences parallel Jehoshaphat’s reliance on God, revealing how the Lord still intervenes on behalf of His people today. The message also extends outward to the global stage, reflecting on recent natural disasters such as Hurricane Milton, and how prayer played a role in lessening its impact. Lisa stresses the importance of preventive prayer—praying ahead of time against storms, hardships, and attacks of the enemy. She calls believers to pray fervently for Israel, for their families, and against the schemes of the adversary, reminding them that no weapon formed against God’s people shall prosper. In closing, she reassures listeners that while battles may rage, the ultimate victory is already secured. The war is won through Christ, and God Himself is our shield, buckler, and King of Glory. The message ends with prayer, lifting up personal and collective needs, while declaring confidence in God’s faithfulness and peace. Inspired Teaching - Written and/or Transcribed from Video Above: Hello and welcome to the House of Faith Ministries. I'm Lisa Kaine and I'm recording this message on Thursday, October 10th, 2024. Welcome. Let's open up in a word of prayer. Father God, we lift you up, bless you for you are mighty, you are faithful, you are true and glorious. And we thank you, Father God, for who you are. And we thank you for revealing and showing us who you are. And I thank you, Father God, that we can trust in you to take care of our battles because we already know we won the war. Thank you, Lord, in the name of Jesus. Amen. Amen. Amen. God bless you. Welcome. I'm glad that you're here. Hey, listen. I'm going to do something a little different today. Now, I'm called to teach and preach the living word of God. Now ordinarily I focus on teaching and that's what I do today. We're going to preach um and I want to share personal testimony with you. So this this uh preaching is called the battle is not yours and it's a personal testimony that I'm going to share here. So let's go to our opening scripture here at 2 Chronicles 20:15. And he said hearken ye all Judah, ye inhabitants of Jerusalem, thou king Jehoshaphat. Thus saith the Lord unto you, be not afraid, nor dispa, nor dismayed by reason of this great multitude, for the battle is not yours, but God's. Okay. So, what I'm going to do is I'm going to explain the context of that scripture and uh I'm going to preach it and then what we're going to do is I'm going to share a personal testimony of what's going on right now uh not only in our lives but in the world and kind of show you how God is moving because this is incredible. So, today is the day after Hurricane Milton hit Florida. So there's a lot going on and I want to share that with you. So let's get into the scripture here. So we have a foundation because everything God does is through his scriptures. So when he reveals visions or dreams to you, they will always always line up with the word of God. So let's get into why God said this to Jehoshaphat. So it says here in 2 Chronicles 21 20:1 and we're going to be primarily in chapter 20 here in 2 Chronicles. It came to pass after this also that the children of Moab and the children of Ammon and with them other beside the Ammonites came against Jehoshaphat to battle. So Jehoshaphat's a king. We have this uh this group of people that are coming to attack him. Now I want you to see something here because see God connected all this for me. I'm in the book of de Deuteronomy. Started reading it a few days ago and I read little chunks of it. I don't usually go by chapters. I just read chunks of it and I study and and stick with that part of it. So, as I was reading that, so Tuesday night, the revelation of the battle is not yours. And then Wednesday morning with this personal testimony I'm going to share with you, uh you're going to see how this is very accurate and appropriate, how God plans things in advance. So now I want to go to Deuteronomy because we're going to come back to 2 Chronicles here. But look in Deuteronomy 2 chapter uh chapter 2:es 4 and 5. This is Moses. He's saying he the book of Deuteronomy is like um a retelling of everything and summarizing it and showing what the Lord did. Okay. So Moses is writing this is chapter 2:es 4 and 5. and command thou the people, this is the Lord telling Moses, command thou the people, saying, Ye are to pass through the coast of your brethren, the children of Esau, which dwell in Seir, and they shall be afraid of you. Take ye good heed unto yourselves. Therefore, meddle not with them, for I will not give you of their land, know not so much as a footreath, because I have given Mount Seir unto Esau for a possession. So now when you come back to 2 Chronicles, you see that Ammon and them are coming back to attack Israel. Jehoshaphat. So it says here, "And the children of Moab, the children of Ammon, and with them other beside the Ammonites came against Jehoshaphat to Bal." So this remnant that didn't get taken care of by Moses and Joshua back when they came in for the land, all of a sudden here they are now coming after Israel many, many years later. So look what Jehoshaphat does. So whenever you see the enemy coming after you, remember this because I'm going to show you how we're going to apply the scripture here. So, he is a teaching as well, but you're going to see the excitement part of the preaching here. Look at what he does. This is verse three in 2 Chronicles 20. We're going to read all the way to verse 15 because I want you to get the whole uh gist of it. And Jehoshaphat feared and set himself to seek the Lord and proclaimed a fast throughout all Judah. And Judah gathered themselves together to ask help of the Lord. Even out of all the cities of Judah, they came to seek the Lord. And Jehoshaphat stood in the congregation of Judah and Jerusalem in the house of the Lord before the new court and said, "Oh Lord God our fathers of our fathers, art not thou God in heaven, and rulest not thou over all the kingdoms of the heathen and in thine hand? Is there not power and might, so that none is able to withstand thee? Art not thou our God who distrive out the inhabitants of this land before thy people Israel and gavest to the gavest it to the seed of the Abra of Abraham thy friend forever and they dwelt therein and have built thee a sanctuary therein for for thy name saying if when evil cometh upon us as the sword judgment or pestilence or famine we stand before this house and in thy presence for thy name is in this house and cry unto thee in our affliction. Then thou wilt here and help. Verse 10. And now behold the children of Ammon and Moab and Mount Seir, whom thou wouldest not let Israel invade when they came out of the land of Egypt. Remember Deuteronomy, that's what I just read. But they turned from them and destroyed them not. Behold, I say, how they reward us to come to cast us out of thy possession which thou hast given us to inherit. Oh our God, wilt thou not judge them? For we have no might against this great company that cometh against us, neither know we what to do, but our eyes are upon thee. And all Judah stood before the Lord with their little ones, their wives, and their children. Then upon Jehaziel, the son of Zechariah, the son of Beniah, the son of Jiel, the son of Mataniah, a Levite of the sons of Asaf, came the spirit of the Lord, in the midst of the congregation. And the spirit said, "Hearken ye all Judah, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem, and thou, King Jehoshaphat, thus saeth the Lord unto you, be not afraid, nor dismayed by reason of this great multitude, for the battle is not yours, but God." Oh, this is awesome. I want you to see this. I want you to understand that Jehoshaphat became aware th this group of people that was not taken care of back in the days when they came out of the wilderness that they are now having to deal with them. And Jehoshaphat says we don't have the strength to do this. But God said this battle is not yours. I want you to see something. God preset. He set this up back in the day of Moses for Jehoshaphat to show this miracle in his day and his time so it can be recorded so that you and I know how to go before the Lord when the enemy comes attacking us. Now let's go to verse 17 and 18. Ye shall because we got to continue on with what what the Lord is saying. Ye shall not need to fight in this battle. Set yourselves stand ye still and see the salvation of the Lord with you, oh Judah and Jerusalem. Fear not, nor be dismayed. Tomorrow go out against him, for the Lord will be with you. And Jehoshaphat bowed his head with his face to the ground. And all Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem fell before the Lord worshiping the Lord. Oh, okay. So now here comes the preaching. I've just read the scriptures. That's all the scriptures I have. I might quote more. You can go do your homework and go check them and and fact check me. I I truly encourage you to do that. So here now notice um Jehoshaphat still is going to go to war with him. He's still going to have to battle. But he's saying the Lord's telling you have this. This is yours. I've given them to you. Don't be afraid. Now go do it. Go take them. They're yours. Now, what I want to do is I want to take uh the rest of this time to really share testimony and show you what is going on in the land because what you just saw in scripture is what is to be applied to what's going on. So, we have a personal attack on our family right now. My mom is in the hospital. She has been fighting cancer now for the last couple of years on and off. Had been cleared. Then it came back. She's had a a a hyerectomy. She's had radiation treat. In fact, her last radiation treatment was the day before we left California and moved to the state of Missouri. So, it the timing and then that that drive here. She never got sick, never had any issues. She's been doing fantastic. And then uh a couple of months ago, they noticed her lymph nodes were a little swollen. So they had to do a biopsy which took two three months. There was the paperwork wasn't written right. So there I want you to see there's a battle going on here. So the paperwork wasn't right. The doctor sent it back. He said it needs to not say ultrasound. Has to say a cat scan. Anyways, so she had the um biopsy done and we've been waiting for the results. I kept telling her October 14th. I kept telling her calling. In the meantime, shortly after having this biopsy, her legs started cramping and she was having some serious issues. So, um, she finally ended up in the emergency room. This was, so today is, uh, Thursday the 10th. Last Thursday, she went into the emergency room and the local hospital here that she was at, um, discovered she had a blood clot, a large one, in her leg. they would have to do surgery to remove it. Now, one of the side effects of this cancer is that you get blood clots. On top of it all, the emergency room doctor had no idea she did not know the results of her test yet and told her the results and felt bad because he didn't know she knew. So in that moment, my mom finding out that she had cancer again, uh the emotional waterworks went off and it was like a you you got these uh blood clots and then this cancer announcement and talk about a onetwo punch, you know, and and I stand in faith, but you know, you still get knocked down and I was knocked down. And it was interesting to see my daughter and my husband actually stand up with faith. And it was so awesome to see them stand up with faith. So that day was tough, but we got over there about I I got to the emergency room about 3:00 that afternoon, visited with mom and got past the waterworks and just saying, "Okay, Lord, this is yours. we have and we started, you know, one of the things that we one of the ways that we cope with these types of things is we actually kind of goof off and joke around, laugh, um remember funny things, which is very good. This is healthy. You want your spirit to be laughing and and be full of joy. You do not want to be down and depressed here. You you've got to really overcome and it is challenging. So, actually, I left because we were much better spirit at that time. I did my shopping, went out to dinner that night. They end up airlifting my mom to Tulsa, Oklahoma. By the way, my mom was born in Tulsa, Oklahoma. So, talk about a full complete circle here cycle. So, they airlifted her in a helicopter there. She got to have special privilege treatment. So, she was supposed to have surgery on the blood clot and that kept getting pushed out. Was supposed to be done on that Friday. The doctor had to leave for an emergency. Then, it was supposed to be done Sunday. Then it was supposed to be done Monday, but it got done Tuesday halfway. Apparently, there were so many people who needed this type of service and some were worse in worse condition than my than my mom. My mom was still able to uh get up and walk a little bit. She was still able to move. Uh she did they did find a blood clot in her lung um but it was very uh small. It wasn't impacting her breathing. She was not in a critical but she was stable. So because she was stable, her surgery kept getting pushed out because all these emergencies were coming in. So then she has the surgery uh she had it on Tuesday. They came in and they said uh where the aort splits there, the main aort. That's where they went in. They come in from the right moving their way to the left. The the blood clot, the large one is in her left leg. in that little bit of space. They pulled out so many blood clots that they had to stop the surgery and u because it was too much. And they said that they they're going to resume and do another surgery because she um you know they don't want to lose all her blood and uh you know be a life-threatening situation. So they stop the surgery. They still have not got to the large blood clot. Now I want you to see something here. You see how many blood clots she has? So many. So so much so that this surgery had to be stopped and it's going to be done again. They're scheduling it for Friday. We're now hearing if anyways I don't know if it's going to happen Friday or not. So this was Tuesday and I'm thinking in my mind, wow, that's a lot of blood clots. It didn't go to her heart. I said to my mom before I left Tuesday, we were there at the hospital with her. I told her, I go, "You know what? God's not done with you." I said, "Uh, with that many blood clots, they it's bound to hit her heart." And it didn't. So, that night, Tuesday night, I'm in a Bible study with my old church and uh she's the one who said, "The battle's not yours." And uh we prayed. And while we were praying, and this is actually even praying before she prayed for her, it was just she started praying at the end of the the thing, but it really wasn't the closing prayer, but it was was weird weird. Just this prayer pops out and I have my eyes closed and I'm speaking in tongues and I'm praying and I have this vision and I see arrows. Well, I see my mom's face first and I see these arrows shooting at her. And I see God stand in front of her, taking the arrows, and then I see him lifting her up and holding her, covering her, kissing her, loving on her, letting, you know, just being there comforting her. And I was like, "Wow." You know, so Wednesday morning, I call my mom to tell her that. Well, my daughter Tuesday night had a dream. She wakes up about 3:00 in the morning and she has a dream where we're praying over her and touching her legs and her arms and that everything's being pushed to her stomach and she's vomiting it out and I'm like, "Oh, wow. This, you know, my daughter's telling me this. This is" and she woke up vomiting or, you know, gagging to vomit. So, it's incredible what we just heard from the Lord, which is Psalm 91. So again, anything you hear from the word of God uh in your mind or through a dream or a vision, it always has to land uh line up with the word of God. And I know the prayer that I put in on Tuesday was the same uh scriptures. I I use a scripture and a prayer uh for a quick moment with God here at the House of Faith Ministries. It's something that you can look at every day. I do this because it started that way in my life where I did little small popcorn prayers with scriptures and then my life my faith grew and it changed. So I I put this in here for new believers for uh people who just want to just start off. You just start small with the Lord and that's why I do this. But anyways, that scripture I put up was on um biblegateway.com. My dad happened to read that scripture and he was quoting it to me when we were on our way to go see her on Tuesday. So all of these things were going on. So Wednesday morning, we get up and I'm like I just flat out told I I get over there, we we get to um the hospital room on Wednesday or the Yeah, she's she's admitted she's in a hospital room and we were talking her sharing her with us. We had holy communion. We prayed and I just told her straight up, you are coming home with us. You're it's not your time. You're not done. And and the the battle is not ours. God has already dealt with it. So, we pray and we're continuing to pray and the power of prayer is working. So, I know she's going to come home. It's the same time when my dad was having back problems. I had a dream of him hopping from one side to the other. And I knew he would be healed. Same way I know my mom is coming home with us. It's not her time. In the meantime, the other thing I want to show you on this because I know we're still battling with my mom. pray. I encourage you to pray for her. Pray for the House of Faith Ministries. Pray for each of us because this is a battle, but at the same time, we're at peace now. And I really want you to see, in fact, when I was sharing it Tuesday night, one of the ladies there was shocked at how calm I was sharing this. She said she'd be just in a curled up ball crying. Well, that's how I felt initially. But see, I know somebody who's bigger, better, and stronger than anyone else, and that is God, my father. And by his son, no weapon formed against us shall prosper. By his son, his stripes, we were made whole. This is scriptural. And this is a a spiritual battle that's taking place. So, even though surgeries aren't happening when they're supposed to, even though we know that she has all this, God has her just sitting there waiting for her, holding her together. She's having to lay there. She's walking very little, but God, I know he's going to bring her back. So, now I want to show you all the other things that was going on all at the same time. So like when uh Satan decides to attack, he he attacks in bulk. So just before my mom and this situation happen, my daughter loses her job. My youngest grandson now needs to be homeschooled. It's a whole another story there. But uh lots of things are changing there. My husband, they almost laid him off at work. They had laid off over 700 people from his work. He was not one of them. And uh I told him, I said, "They they value you. You're a very important person there." So it was like we just but these were the things that were going on and now I want you to see some of the physical things around the world that's going on while Hurricane Helen hit over there and hit North Carolina really bad over there. Hurricane John was hitting Aapoco. So you can see both these areas had got hit hard. Then you had this hurricane Milton that hit last night coming in and it was just shy of a category 6 hurricane. You have meteorologists that were crying on TV. One who said that if you do not leave, you will die. But it's weird that that's become spiritual. So I know that I went before the Lord and I said, "Lord, I'm praying for this situation and I'm I'm giving it to you." And I didn't realize how many people had been praying. But that category five, Hurricane Milton dropped to a category three when it hit only shy a little bit of time as a three and it went down to a two. But and in the meantime, it had record 120 plus tornadoes hit. That's incredible. But I want you to see the power of prayer. We may have came to the game a little late with the hurricanes and didn't pray and do the preventive stuff early on, but we got there. And the moment God heard us call to him, he dropped that. And now today, they have blue skies. They're going to have a lot of debris. They got to clean up. And I know that I believe there's loss of life there with the tornadoes. So, I'm just saying though, we can see the hand of God moving here. So, now what I'd like to do is encourage you to begin to pray and do what's called preventive prayer. You see, we have coming up. Understand this. This is just the beginning of sorrows. You can go read Matthew 24. This is just the beginning. We're I don't think the rapture is happening at this time. I know we're past Rashashana, but the we're up to Yam Kapor, the days of atonement. You can see how during this time the devil is attacking because people are repenting. People are coming back to the Lord. I have been praying for different groups of people, the LGBTQ and others, other groups, and I'm seeing through my social media people repenting and coming back to the Lord saying, "I don't want to go to hell." That's I mean, they're just straight out saying it. This is incredible. And then people seeing this weird, and anytime I use the word weird, I think it's spiritual attack of hurricanes. No, no, no. That's the devil. But God says the battle's not yours, but he does want you to pray. What did Jehoshaphat Jehoshaphat do first? He humbled himself before the Lord. Went to the congregation where he knew God resided. And he says, "I know you're the God of Abraham. I know you're real. I know you're here. I'm coming to you." See, you are dealing with whatever battles you're dealing with. And then of course, especially for people in Florida having to recover from being hit by two hurricanes back to back and uh loss of possessions, these sort of things are taking place. But God, see, this is where you go up and say, you know what, Lord, I know you're God and I'm going to be at peace because you have won these battles. We need to keep praying and we need to do preventive prayer. We have to start praying for things that might come. Pray for hurricanes and tornadoes that might come or flooding that might come. We need to be in prayer against that before it gets here. So, it doesn't get here. And we don't have the loss of life and loved ones and that pain and suffering that comes along with the with the devastation or feeling of devastation. and feeling devastated, feeling lonely, feeling depressed. This is the time where we need to pray against all of that. And then we need to be praying, you know, go to the empowering prayer section of the House of Faith Ministries. There's things in there that we pray. We need to be praying for Israel. We need to be praying for Jerusalem. We need to be praying still for the hostages. It's been a year anniversary now since the 7th. So we they and they still hostage after a year. It's incredible. And they have released other hostages. You hear their testimonies. This is a time where like Jehoshaphat, we go before the Lord and say, "Lord, look what the enemy is doing." And when we humble ourselves before the Lord, we need to ask him to forgive us because we mess up all the time, guys. I'm telling you, we need forgiveness. So, just go to him. Ask for forgiveness even for the things you don't even know. Just say, "Lord, forgive me for everything." And then ask him to help you turn your life around so that you are praying effectively, fervently. As you see right up in here, pray fervently. Pray without ceasing. Ceizing. 1 Thessalonians 5:17. We need to be praying. Praying and praying. I can't emphasize this enough. And how do you pray? You can pray anywhere at any time. I think this is one of the reasons why God makes us go to the bathroom. So, we have a moment or two to stop, do what we have to do, and pray. I am I can't stress this enough. You need to be in your secret place. You need to be putting God first. And and the moment you see an attack coming on, you say, "No, no, no, no. This stops here. This stops now." Like Jehoshaphat, he went before the Lord. I don't know what to do, Lord. I'm I'm at I don't know what to do. And the Lord says, "The battle does not belong to you. I've taken care of it. So, I want you to know that the b the battle does not belong to you. For that matter, the war doesn't belong to you. And for that matter, we've already won the war. Go read the end of Revelation. You will find that the devil, in fact, those of you who are believers, catch us. You can go read it in Revelation. We're going to look, we're going to see the devil being uh arrested and thrown into lake of fire or put chains on him and put away or something like that. H I don't remember if it's before the millennia or after, but you we're going to be looking at him and we're going to be like that little thing and it's going to be a little angel that's going to come deal with him. We have massive big strong angels on our side also who is fighting our fights for us. He is our shield. He is our buckler. He is the king of glory. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Oh, anyways, let me close in prayer. We're going to pray. I want to pray for my mom. I want you to agree with me in prayer. Let us pray because we have the victory already. That's what dreams and visions are for are to encourage us in those moments where we know he's moved and it's it's scriptural. So, we see the scripture. So, sometimes he just gives us the scripture, but I'm glad for the extra that we got this time. It just builds my faith up. And I'm hoping to give that faithb building love to you. Amen. Amen. Let's close. Father God, Lord, first of all, we lift up every one of our needs before you. And we pray preventively because we are weak. You are strong. And Father God, we pray that we know that you're moving on our behalf. You are our shield and buckler. You are standing in front of us. And so Lord, we give you the glory, the honor, the praise, and the strength for you take care of the battles. You are mighty and you are strong, and we're going to trust in you. So we place all of our needs before you. Whether we're a victim of a hurricane or something else, battle of cancer, whatever it is, we know that you have this, Lord, and the battle belongs to you. So we place it here and we will stand and walk in peace with the anointing of the Holy Spirit because you are God. You are righteous and you have let us know who you are. So we are reminded and we come before you, praising you, honoring you, worshiping you, lifting you up for you are truly king of glory and you have the battle. You have the war and we walk in peace and in comfort. We are filled up with joy, love and peace. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. In the name of Jesus we pray. Amen. Amen. God bless you. I will see you in the next message. Bye-bye. Home Previous Next
- SPIRIT OF LEVIATHAN | House of Faith Ministries (HoFM)
SPIRIT OF LEVIATHAN To reveal God’s prophetic timeline and emphasize the importance of recognizing and defeating the spiritual stronghold of Leviathan in preparation for the Third Great Awakening and end-time revival. SPIRIT OF LEVIATHAN Pastor Marcos Marrero July 8, 2024 Objective: To reveal God’s prophetic timeline and emphasize the importance of recognizing and defeating the spiritual stronghold of Leviathan in preparation for the Third Great Awakening and end-time revival. Synopsis: The speaker shares a powerful testimony of divine encounters beginning with a dream on September 2nd, in which repeated numbers and visions pointed to a prophetic countdown of Jubilee and restoration. This led to a series of life shifts, including a move on December 31st, and culminated with a fresh word from the Lord on September 25th declaring, “The new has begun.” He connects these experiences to a larger prophetic framework, including Chuck Pierce’s timeline, identifying this season as the doorway into what may be the Third Great Awakening. Drawing from Isaiah 26–27, the teaching warns of the Leviathan spirit—a serpent-like force that blinds believers, manipulates human DNA, and hinders true worship and revival. Scriptural parallels with Job and the tabernacle illustrate how Leviathan entwines itself within humanity, blocking spiritual illumination and breeding pride. The message emphasizes that God is raising up His people, armed with His mighty sword, to expose and defeat Leviathan. This will unlock unprecedented deliverance, healing, and restoration in preparation for the end-time harvest. The call is urgent: believers must reject fear, pride, and unbelief, embrace their new creation identity in Christ, and step boldly into the season of awakening and revival that God has initiated. Inspired Teaching - Written and/or Transcribed from Video Above: There's been such an anointing. Oh my god. I can't even talk to my wife about the Lord without crying all these couple of weeks. It's just been It just been uh awesome. Uh I'm excited. The reason why I'm so excited is uh September 2nd, I think it was of last year. I was laying down in in my bed and I was dreaming seven times 749 and then count 50. And it just went on all night long. One of the things that just bugs you, bugs you, bugs you all night long. That's all my mind could do. And then right right when the sun was rising up or it was morning, it was like a big old light just flashed with my eyes closed and it was a big old flash card and it said day two. And I had no idea what that was. But then I knew that I was supposed to start counting from the day before, which was either September 7 or September 2nd. 50 50 is Jubilee. By the way, when Jesus came, he says um I came that set the captives free to open the eyes of the blind. And he says, "And to proclaim the year of Jubilee." Jubilee means when everything that has been taken away from you, that has been stalling from you is restored. And then after that, then the Lord says, "Okay, now you wait 70 days." And then I added up and 70 days came out to December 31st. and he wanted me to disengage from everything. And little did we know that in December 24th we found out we were moving and we were out within six days we were out that December 31st we moved. Then all of this year has been a year of of just waiting and waiting and waiting. And then uh on September 25th of this year I'm driving and the Lord says the new has begun. And I got all excited. I didn't know why. And then there was a prophecy that Chuck Pierce gave that began the time set for this year's and it's from September 5th to October 12 which it was yesterday there was a new positioning in the heavens. God is moving things. And then all of a sudden today, the Lord said, you know, remember when I when I told you day two, he says, well, when I told you the new has begun, meaning it's day three or the third awakening, in case you you don't know the history, this nation in the last 500 years have experienced two major revivals which are were called the first awakening and the sec second awakening. So what I believe is going on in the spirit right now, we're ready to enter. I mean, today the 13th, beginning yesterday, the 12th and and it is no coincidence. He had asked me to teach two weeks ago and before even knowing that I'm just getting ready to teach and and the Lord has just given me this revelation that in the spirit at least the door has been open. Now remember when the uh Israelites came into the promised land to go through God had already removed the protection of the enemy, but they did not enter into it because of a bad report. 12 spies went out, 10 gave a bad report, and because of that, they had to wait another 40 years. Well, I don't want to wait another 40 years. I ain't got 40 years. I'm 59. That'll be a be 99. I can't afford 40 years. I want to go now. And and so I believe that that's been my heart. And so, that is what's going on. Now, what I'm going to be teaching on tonight is about the spirit of Leviathan. And I think it goes with what we're talking about. Because Leviathan is a spirit in the Bible, which is what keeps the church blinded. And you know who's the church? Us, the believers. It keeps us blinded. And because of that, then we suffer loss. I got notes. I have I made 10 notes. I I don't know if there's any. If everybody got one, I hope you did. You can follow along. Okay. Isaiah 27:1. And I want to see if I can get through all four pages. So, I'm going to go in in Isaiah 27:1. It says in that day the Lord with his sword and great and strong sword shall punish Leviathan the piercing serpent even Leviathan that crooked serpent and he shall slay the dragon that is in the sea. Now I want you to open your uh uh your Bible to Isaiah 26 and I want you to see the context of this prophecy. In Isaiah 27:1, God says, "In that day, the Lord will punish uh in the NIV says, "In that day, the Lord will punish with his sword, his fierce great and powerful sword, Leviathan, the gliding serpent, Leviathan, the coiling serpent, and he will slay the monster of the sea." Father in heaven, in the name of Jesus, as we come into your presence right now, Father God, I pray your covering over us, Father God, I pray that with the sword of the spirit, which is your great a mighty sword that you will cut down right now, Father God, the course, the whole darkness and blindness and and that keep us bound, Father God, to the old ways. I pray that you will bring revelation that your light will shine into our souls tonight, Father God, and drive away every spirit of fear, every spirit of contentment, every spirit of disbelief and unbelief, and every spirit that will hinder us from receiving the revelation that you have for us in this last day in Jesus name. Amen. Now if you look at uh in Isaiah 26 verse 19 it says but your dead will live their bodies will rise. What is that talking about? The rapture. It's talking about the rapture. The the this chapter 26 is talking about uh when Jesus will will come. It says but your dead will live. Their bodies will rise. You who dwell in the dust mean those who have been dead and buried or being cremated and their dust is some place. He says wake up and shout for joy. Your due is like the dw of the morning the earth will give birth to her death. Speaking about the resurrection. So when Isaiah 27:1 says in that day he's talking about the end times. He's talking about today the heading for this uh uh uh for this chapter is deliverance of Israel. Okay. Was too loud? Oh, okay. Anyway, he's talking about in in in in Isaiah 27 the deliverance of Israel. So, what I believe is that with the end time, right before the rapture comes, God is going to bring the greatest revival that has ever been seen. Because, you know, there's a lot of people that love God and and they want to be with God, but they're so bound by sin. They're so oppressed. Some believers, their minds is so cast down. Their souls are so oppressed and cast down, they cannot even worship or praise God. So God in the end time is going to bring a revelation, a a a lighting up to where we're going to be able to worship God in spirit and in truth and with power. And the word of the Lord will go forth with such power and authority that there's going to be deliverance that people are going to be walking around like Peter and their shadows is going to fall on derelicts that are their mind has been gone and God will bring restoration. Why? Because Leviathan is the spirit that God says, I am raising up a large sword. Hallelujah. And that sword is going to be of my saints and they're going to bring judgment upon this serpent. Okay? Now, who is Leviathan? And and you know, uh uh Leviathan is mentioned in the Bible, I think, six times because he's the number of men. Leviathan represents the strongest demonic spirits that has ever been unleashed against all of humanity. All of the infirmities that we humans suffer and cause other humans to suffer are the direct result of this demons this demon's influence on humankind. This is I believe the the power that messes up all humanity because as we will read on he resides in the waters or in the sea and the sea is always symbolic of humanity. The sea of humanity. All humans are affected by this awful creature. And I believe that the end time revival will begin by God judging him. And look at if if if you see there, Isaiah calls him a dragon and a serpent. Both of those names are applied to Satan directly. He's a serpent. He's a serpent that beguile Eve. By the way, that's where we that's where he came in. Leviathan came in into Eve like he was coil around the tree. her genetic tree uh Eve has passed down that vile creature to every human that's alive today. The only one that wasn't affected by that was Jesus. And that's because Jesus even though it was conceived by a woman, the blood that that that con which is in the semen that the blood that bring conception, it was the Holy Spirit. So that's why when Satan was coming or or Judas was coming had betrayed Jesus, Jesus could say uh the enemy is coming but Satan has nothing in me. But we do know that Satan has something in us. And that is what God wants to deliver out of us this spirit that causes everything that brings troubles into us. So he calls the spirit a dragon and a serpent. And then he calls him the dragon that is in the sea, meaning he's in humanity and he's hidden from the natural view. He affects everybody, but nobody knows uh about it. Notice what it says. The piercing serpent and the crooked serpent is talking about his nature and his working. Uh a serpent, what does a serpent does? Serpent coils itself around. But that is magic. We all know that. But what about the piercing? What does it mean by piercing? Piercing it if I is when you uh let's say like uh uh the female egg when she's about to get fertilized, there's a piercing that breaks into that egg. And as soon as the piercing goes in, it crystallizes and the egg become fertile and it begins to to multiply and give life. Basically what he's talking about this serpent because you see the uh our genetic code when they began to figure out the DNA system they could see the parts but they couldn't match they didn't understand how they could make sense of and it took years and years and years and then finally somebody came with a revelation that if you take the genetic code instead of just trying to put it lineal like that that if you coil it then it makes sense. See, in order for the parts to fit, you got to follow a coal coil or like a wreath. That's what the genetic code is. So, what does a snake take shape of? Of a coil. So, that means that Leviathan gets not just into our soul and not just into a different part. He become the very part of our genetic makeup by coming and piercing himself or his influence into our genetic code. This is why there's birth defects because any genes that he can can transform or pollute becomes deformed becomes faulty. As a matter of fact, the reason why many many many especially Christian can overcome their sins is because their genetic code is predisposed to that certain thing. I mean it is in your genes. It is there and there's nothing that we can seem to do about it. You work hard and you try to do all of these things but the thing is wrap itself around or it coil itself around you to where you just h have been transformed. Basically what it says is you become the person that God never intended for you to be. And so this is why I believe that in this end time God is going to deal with a serpent because you cannot deal with humanity until you deal with a serpent. because the serpent is in the sea. It's in the humanity. Now this uh snake is so terrible as if we could call it that that in Job 41, God spends the whole chapter 40 34 verses from Job chapter uh uh Job 41 from verse one to verse 34 God spends 34 verses telling about him. But I want you to see this because this is the key. In verse one, he says, "Can you pull in the Leviathan with a fish hook or tie him down his thong with a rope?" In other words, God brey by the way, Job is the oldest and most complete manual on deliverance. If you look at the um uh the human soul is made of nine compartments as if it were nine nine uh divisions or nine is one soul but it's like a complex it has different parts in it and I believe it has nine parts. This is why in in in uh Galatians 5:22 and 23 there are nine fruit one but nine different manifestations of that fruit. Love, joy, peace, uh long longsuffering, gentleness, kindness, self-control, faith, and um and what's the last one? Meekness. So our soul is designed to have each one of those spirit fruit operating in it which is what Leviathan does. He takes away the peace. He takes away the joy. He takes away love from us. He takes away the ability to wait patiently on the Lord. He changes our personality. The spirit of God that was breathed into uh uh Adam made him a good and gentle and kind person. And today we see wrath and anger and fear and all of the things. Why? Because the genetic code has been transformed. By the way, that's what Satan was up before the flood. That's why God destroyed all of humankind because of the genetic messing up with the genetic system. But then God gives revelation to Job. Uh the reason why I was talking about that is there's nine fruit of the spirit. There are nine gifts of the spirit and there are nine spiritual blessing. There are 27 books in the New Testament. Three times 9 is 27. That means that everything that we need is in the New Testament. It the the Old Testament is fulfilled in the New Testament. That's why our souls can now be set free because we have this revelation from God. But uh uh the uh um the soul has been so perverted. And so the oldest book of the Bible when God is dealing with Job, what happens to Job? Nine times is Job confronted. First it comes to one friend and he says you sin. It's your fault. That's why God is judgment. The next friend come in, no your children sin and they're the ones. So that's why God got judgment. And then the third spirit comes up which represents itself speaking through Job's friend. And there's nine direct attack on soul. The last one, the ninth one is a new person that comes in that wasn't there Elihoo. And he represents Satan himself. He sounds like God. Everything he said is just like God. That is, I believe, Leviathan himself who actually replaces God in the human soul. So we have a God in our soul which is not the God. And even when we're born again and our spirit is born again, our soul now is controlled or manipulated because his spirit hinders what God wants to do. And so in the book of Job where Job, a righteous man, because this is for Christians, the minute that you accepted the Lord Jesus Christ as your savior, you became righteous. You became holy. You became a saint. Immediately you were saved because God knows our condition and he doesn't judge us in our sins anymore. Romans uh 7:20 says if I do the things that I don't want to do, it's not me who do it but sin that lives in me. So God understand that there our genetic code has been messed up and we've been predisposed to sin and God is saying let me have a hold of you and I'll bring a revelation. I'll bring Lord into your soul and I'm going to drive that spirit that has replaced me in the parts of your soul. And that's what God is dealing with Job. God brought Job through all of those suffering and these men suffered tremendously. And then he God asked him this question. He says, "Can you pull in the Leviathan with a fish hook or tie him down?" God was saying, "Can you get him out or at least shut him up?" Job, since you're so righteous and so holy, you're bragging how you've been uh uh uh you know, attacked and all the things, can you get Leviathan out? and you get rid of that nature that is in your soul or at least shut it up so it doesn't bugs you no more. So God is speaking about deliverance and as we just read it is during our day the day of the resurrection the day of the rapture when God is going to unleash his mighty and fierce attack uh against him. Leviathan on the Strong's concordance means a wreath, animal or a serpent. It means to twine, to unite, to remain, to cleave or to join. And then he is also called uh the constellation of Orion is is named after him. In other words, he's his he's his name that uh since he's a dragon and a serpent, the dragon in the sky. There's a constellation is the constellation of Orion, which usually goes by the name the constellation of the dragon or Draco. And so this is what what God wants us to see. And then like I said in in the uh in the sea everything represents the humanity. Now, one of the stars, the constellation of Orion, has seven major stars. And one of those stars, each each star represents a demon, by the way, because remember, the dragon has seven heads. We'll get that towards the end. But Leviathan has seven heads. So, in the constellation of Orion, there are seven major stars, and that represents the seven heads of Leviathan or the seven manifestations. And God asked Job in Job 38:31, it says, "Can thou bind the sweet influences of the plagus?" And this is in the original King James translation, or lose the bands of Orion, which is Leviathan. And what I want you to see here is that the way the Leviathan comes in is by influence. The piercing that he's talking about, he pierces right into that area of our soul where our mind and our will and our emotions and he begins to exert because to twine. See, his nature is to entwine. And untwin means the two become one. Like when a man and a woman get married, God says the two become one flesh. They are coiled around. They are wrapped around their own twine. And so by coiling himself around our our our nature, our DNA, he begins to exert pressure, but it's not forcible. It's well, one of the one of the heads is not it's an influence. He begins to influence. That's what he did with Eve. Well, doesn't it look good? Wouldn't it be good for food? He begins to influence her way of thinking to where she said, "Wow, yeah, that's right." How many of us got some revelation at some time? Oh yeah, man. That's great. He left the keys on the car. He probably wanted me to take it for a ride. Why not? You were influenced to get into that car and before you know it, you know, you're on the back of it, then put a handcuff on you and you got to do a couple of years. A lot of us are influenced like that. And it didn't begin with evil. We didn't intend to do evil. It was a sweet influence. Oh yeah, man. She looks fine. I won't go there. But he is a spirit that wraps himself around our soul, our very DNA, our very nature. And then he begins to exert influence since he's stronger than us because God asked Job, "Can you pull him out?" Job definitely couldn't pull him out, but God did because Job said, "I heard, but now I seen." And when Job saw it, that's when he got delivered. I know that that thing is big and strong, but God, you're a lot bigger than he is. Glory to God. You are able to deliver me from this. And then when Job went in and prayed for his friends, he was restored. And the three daughters, Jamaima, Karen, Capush, and I don't remember the name of the other one. Each one have a meaning. And the names of the daughter of Job, the only three that are named of the 10 children that God gives them, one means is being stripped off like down, taking all of the bark off your tree. Talking about deliverance, being stripped off. Then he's talking about God bringing restoration. God took Job's DNA strand that had been polluted. God strip it off of that coiling thing that was around him and ripped it out. And it all came when Job was able to see. I heard of you, but now I sing. And God is calling his church in this end time to see. To see that I don't care how big that enemy is, how strong he is, and how bound he's had you or messed you up. That God is stronger. God is bigger. God is more powerful. He is the one that is able to strip that from you. Amen. Now, how can we do it? I mean, if Job, a righteous man that was so blessed in Ephesians 2:6, we're told, "And God raised us up with Christ and seated us up with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus." What that means is that Leviathan operates in the second heaven. He is that one that sets himself to block our prayers from coming up to God. He is in the way to hinder. But when Jesus Christ went onto the cross and he took every sin, every every wrong thing that we humans have ever done because of that sweet influence, because of this genetic uh uh makeup that that has corrupted us. That's why God said there is not one righteous. No, not one single one. There's no one who does good. Why? Because our nature has been transformed. This thing has coiled itself around our very own DNA to where we're predisposed to do wrong. That's our predisposition. But he can only operate on the second realm. But Jesus Christ when he went into the cross, and by the way, the cross represented a connection between heaven and earth or between the second heaven and the physical he the physical earth that we're in. And it was right in that middle that Jesus Christ defeated every foe, every principality and power, stripped them all of all of their power. And then Jesus was able to take a man, a physical man, even Abraham and and and all of those righteous peoples of the Bible, they were down in in in paradise, which was at the center of the earth at that time. And it wasn't until Jesus died on the cross that he went down. He preached to the spirits down there. Ephesians tells us then he led captivity captive. He took the train of all the souls that were in that paradise. They could go now go to heaven. Why could they go to heaven? Because Jesus Christ took the accuser of the brethren, shattered his teeth. He when when he rose up, he kicked him in the mouth. And and uh I think it's Psalm three, he says, "The Lord shatters the teeth of the wicked." He just destroyed his power. And so now we by being born again are on the third heaven. And from down here, we cannot fight him. But from up there we can because you see we're seated. Seated means a place of authority. I am seated now on a place of authority. Jesus says I give you power over I give you authority over all the power of Satan. And he says and and you going to be able to to to trample on snakes that's Leviathan and on scorpions. And he says nothing shall by any means harm you or hurt you. Why? because we have been seated far above principalities and power. And then you say, "Well, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, wait, wait. I still have my my human nature." Well, look at 2 Corinthians 5:17. Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. That means that Jesus Christ changed your DNA. Hallelujah. He gave us a brand new strand of DNA. I don't have to be predisposition to the old things anymore. He has changed my nature. As a matter of fact, read on. He says, "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. Old things have passed away. Behold, take a look. Look." Like Job said, "I heard of you, but now I seen." Behold means look. He says, "Look, look. All things have become new." Anyway, the word for new creation in the Greek means original formation. Our DNA was originally formed to do the will of God. Hallelujah. Our DNA originally was designed to worship God. When when when the cool evening, it would come, Adam and Eve will go like little kids running to daddy God, and they would have a great big old time with him. They were still human. They were still naked, but there was no lie that worked his way into their DNA until the coiling snake on the tree came in and perverted the word of God. And that is when he came in. But when Jesus Christ climb up on that tree and he was nailed himself to that tree, he took our old nature. He took that old Leviathan and he destroyed him. And now we have the new nature. But we need to understand that that new nature is in the spirit. Man has to be brought into the place of everything. See this is why Leviathan is so dangerous because Leviathan blocks blocks our entrance to the holy place. Let me look at my notes. I I don't want to lose anything here. I don't want to get ahead of myself. But let me go. I tried to put as much as as as we could there so that if I don't get through the whole thing at least you can have the notes. Uh I want to read Psalm 425-7. He says why are you cast down oh my soul and why are you disqued within me? Now remember our soul is the part that responds to our physical nature. Our soul uh uh we have spirit, soul, and we're in a body. The soul is connected to our physical body through these senses. Our eyes, our ears, our nose, our mouth, our sense of touch. All of those are connected to the soul. Our soul, that's our personality, gets this information of this physical world. Because the soul and the spirit are both spirit through the human senses. But our soul in his upper part is connected to the spirit of a man and and the spirit of a man is the one that is born again and that is seated in the right hand of the father with Christ Jesus. And the way that our soul connects to the spirit is through intuition and through worship. And so a Leviathan can come in and block our worship to where we cannot come to God. Then our spirit can have everything that God has for us, our healing, our provision, our protection, the plan, the future, the wisdom of God. But yet, if there's something blocking it, and that's what Leviathan does. Uh uh what do you call a uh you know, Roman uh what do you call it? Mythology. In mythology, Leviathodan went by different name. Neptune, Poseidon, different names. He was always involved with with with the sea. And in mythology says that every time there was an eclipse of the sun is because he would wrap himself around and block the sun. And you see the sun or the light for us is our spirit. the the the scripture that you quoted when you were praying. Proverbs 20:27, the spirit of a man, that's our human spirit, is a candle of the Lord and he searched all of the inward parts of the heart. He looks inside. So in order for me to know what is it that is in me that predisposes me to do certain things that I don't want to do, I need to have a time with God. My spirit needs to worship God, needs to come in communion to God, needs to get the revelation from God. And then my soul has to have a good connection with my spirit. In other words, God takes my spirit which lives in the same place where the soul lives in the heart and like a flashlight he begins to search. H I see something dark over here in this corner. And then in our soul there's no knobs any of the doors. All of the knobs are on the inside. Revelation 3 uh 20 Jesus says, "Behold, I stand at the door and knock." So he comes in who's there? He wants to know because what's in that dark room is affecting your life. It's affecting your walk. And that's what deliverance is all about. Bringing light because the Lord is light. Where the spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. The spirit of the Lord brings light. And the light makes all of the creatures of darkness flee because darkness cannot comprehend or overcome the spirit of the living God. So we have to have a good communication with God through our spirit and there had to be a connection between our soul and God in order for this thing to be exposed for us to be deliver of this thing. And uh so that our human makeup as if it were can be brought into um be set free from the influence of this demonic creature in Psalm 42:57. Now remember the soul is the one that's in the middle. This is the spirit man speaking to the soul. Why are you cast down, oh my soul, and why are you disqued within me? Hoping God, for I shall yet praise him for the help of his countenance. Oh my God, my soul is cast down within me. This is a spirit of the Psalms of Kora, I believe, who's writing this psalm. And his spirit is crying out to God, there's something wrong with my soul here. I'm alive with you. I'm praising you, but there's something wrong with this soul. All you giving me, Lord, it's all messed up. But then he said, "Therefore, I will remember you from the land of the Jordan." That's the river Jordan where you get baptized and from the highest of Hermon. That's your spiritual high and from the hill of Miser. That's our lower part. And then he says this mystery. He says, "Deep calls unto deep at the noise of your waterfalls. All your waves and billows have gone over me." The deep calling into deep is the spirit of God speaking to your spirit. God is saying Leviathan is a monster of the sea. That means he's in your humanity. He's signing into that. But God says, "I got a few tornadoes of my own. I got a few water spouts. I can come up in there and vacuum that thing right off of your heart. I can just go in there and go and pull all that out." That's what God is saying. But how did it happen? Deep. called onto deep. The spirit of God in in capital letters speaks to our spirit. And as he begins to speak to our spirit, the revelation becames to to be made known. And uh I have some notes there as to being baptized. What is it that is commanded? Two things Christians are commanded to do. Take communion. It means the bread and the wine represents the blood and and the broken body of Jesus Christ. And the other thing is to be baptized. What does baptismal means? Death by water. Where does Leviathan dwell? In the water. When you're baptized into you. See, you cannot get saved until you're baptized into the Holy Spirit. The the baptismal of the Holy Spirit is different. I'm not talking about that. He says we the way that we have said we have all been baptized into one spirit. Baptismal simply means let's say that I'm a drop of water and I go and I take that drop of water to the Pacific Ocean and I dropped it. Can you ever again find that drop of water? No. It becomes part of the whole ocean. That's what God is saying. You were a little piece of water someplace. And when you were baptized in Christ, you were placed into See, we were all baptized by Adam and Eve. We're all descendants of them. Everything they they had, good or bad, has come down our way. And then Satan has done his best to mess it up so that I'm sure Adam and Eve will be surprised to see what their children look like because boy, they we should mess it up. But the same way that we're all baptized into this waters, the deep waters where Leviathan dwells, God has called us from the that deep. He was called us out of that deep into his deep deeper. That's his spirit. You see, when you were baptized, when you went into the water, you declared that you were self dead. Death to sin, dead to the world, death to Leviathan. And therefore when you rose up now your spirit is seated in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus. And then now God wants to bring changes in our life. Now Job 41 15 and 16. And this thing is so so big I could have went uh verse by verse but I knew that I wouldn't have that much time. So I condense it to four pages. And then tonight I'm condensing it even more so that I can get to the end of it. Uh Job 41:15 and 16 says, "His rose of scales are his pride. Shut up tightly as with a seal. No one I mean one is on air to another that no air can come between them." You know what that means? This demonic spirit that formed this alliance of Leviathan. He's a seven-headed monster. He's the king of all of the children of pride. By the way, anybody that is operating in pride is is a servant to that because Job says that. You can read in that chapter two. He's he's the uh the father. Everybody who seems to pride, he controls him. I don't care how godly the person is or how great he thinks is in the Lord. Pride comes before the fall because Leviathan is destined to fall and so will all that are proud. But what he's talking about here is that his scales or his demonic shields are so tightly connected to one another that no air can come through. Well, the word for air in both the Hebrew and the Greek in which the old and the New Testament are written speak about spirit, wind, speak about breath. So if he's able to encamp himself between you and God, nothing from your spirit can penetrate him. That's what he's talking about. And that's what he does. Wherever Leviathan comes in, you did you know uh many people, especially the guy that was writing the book that that actually Fred gave me copies of all of that the stuff that I was reading. I've been going through my garage and I got everything so organized. finally opened all the boxes from our move and I know where everything is at so I've been able I've been reading a lot but uh uh he that that snake comes in so tightly that nothing can penetrate and he says that when there are revivals many revival that have started in churches as soon as pride comes up he comes in and he blocks he has destroyed many many many revival working through the people that God was moving through to through the anointing that God was moving through bringing pride. Wow, look at myself. Look what I did. I lay hands and they came to life or I did this and and and you know and that spirit of pride is what terminates and churches go through this. the Holy Spirit will come in because of some prayer or because of some fasting or because something that some of the leaders did and then the Holy Spir Home Previous Next

LACKING Equip believers to walk in “the work of faith with power” (2 Thes 1:11) by inviting God’s light into hidden places of the heart, entering a true covenant with Him, and yielding to His cleansing so His glory can dwell within and flow outward for deliverance and awakening. LACKING Pastor Marcos Marrero June 17, 2024 Objective: Equip believers to walk in “the work of faith with power” (2 Thes 1:11) by inviting God’s light into hidden places of the heart, entering a true covenant with Him, and yielding to His cleansing so His glory can dwell within and flow outward for deliverance and awakening. Synopsis: The message opens with authoritative prayer over the city—declaring Jesus’ Lordship and the end of demonic rule—and sets the theme: faith that truly works in power. From 2 Thessalonians 1:11, believers are called to be found worthy through faith that moves mountains—not by hype, but by knowing God and refusing inner doubt. Daniel 2:22 shows why mountains don’t move: divided hearts hide “deep and secret things” where doubt lives. God, who is light, reveals these dark places when invited. Jeremiah 33:3 issues the invitation: “Call to Me”—God alone can retrieve what we cannot, including early wounds, rejections, and generational injuries that still sabotage trust. Entering covenant (pictured in Abraham’s sacrifices) means letting the Word cut between spirit and soul (Heb 4:12), guarding the promise from “birds of prey,” and staying through the “dreadful darkness” until God’s fire passes through and gifts faith. Ezekiel 44:4 portrays the result: once the inner gate is opened and cleansed, the glory of the Lord fills the temple—we are that temple. Job’s journey models deliverance by stripping and restoration; his daughters’ names picture the process: the Dove (Spirit) comes, the bark is stripped, then inner strength and beauty are bestowed (Job 42). This requires the cross: laying down Adam’s old coverings so we’re clothed with Christ’s glory, which intimidates darkness and empowers ministry. Practical applications include: ask God to reveal unsearchable things; forgive ancestral/offending voices; submit to the Spirit’s surgical work; persevere through fire; and live from the intimacy Jesus offers (Rev 3:20). The warning from John 6:66—turning back when the word feels “too hard”—is answered by a call to courageous surrender. The message closes by blessing the congregation and prophesying a fountain of living water rising in the house, flowing to the city with end-time deliverance and awakening. Inspired Teaching - Written and/or Transcribed from Video Above: Thank you Jesus. Hallelujah. Amen. Father in heaven in Jesus name we take authority right now. Father God, your word declares that we overcame Satan by the blood of the lamb and by the word of our testimony. And we testify, Father God, that we have authority in the name of Jesus. And Father, and that authority that Jesus has been given to us is to trample on the snakes and the scorpions, Father God, and that nothing shall by any mean harm us. So we declare that authority to the uh city of Wington tonight, Father God, and as we proclaim the word of the Lord tonight. We declare to the principalities and powers, to every creeping thing that creepeth on this city, every demonic spirit, every foul bird of the air, we declare that Jesus Christ is Lord over the city of Wington. We declare that Jesus Christ is Lord over every uh single member of this church of this body. And father in the name of Jesus we also declare that your time has come to an end. Uh spirits of darkness that rule over this city. Your time has come to an end. We prophesy tonight in the name of Jesus that the door for the uh victorious deliverance ministry of the end time. The awakening, the trumpet calling out for the people to awake is being ready to be released, Father God. And we serve notice to all of the u uh ruling spirits of this area that your time has come to an end. for the Lord will drive you up by the power of his glory and majesty in Jesus name. Amen. Praise God. Open your Bible to uh 2 Thessalonians 1:11. And I want my my wife to read it from that translation that she has is better than than the NIV. And tonight's message is real simple. If you look at it, the scriptures are going to be 111 2222 3333 444556667778899. 2 Thessalonians 1:11. If my translation, the NIV doesn't do what u what it comes out. 2 Thessalonians 1:11. Yeah. Therefore, we also pray always for you that our Gods would count you worthy of this calling and fulfill all the good pleasures of his goodness and the work of faith and power. Okay? That you may be found worthy of God's calling. And what is God's calling? That you would would have the work of faith with power. Remember what Jesus says? He says, "If you speak to the mountain," he says, "Mountain, in the name of Jesus, lift yourself up and throw yourself into the sea." Every single one of us here would understand that that would be a work of faith with power. Because there wouldn't be no shovel or no tow truck or anything doing it. It would have to be God actually raising up the mountain and throwing it onto the sea. But you see, Jesus says, "If you doubt not in your heart, that which you're saying will come to pass, then that which you're saying will be done for you." In one of the Old Testament scriptures, the prayer is, "Lord, give me an undivided heart." We know the heart is talking about the spirit and the soul. We know that the spirit is willing, but the flesh, which is connected to the soul, is weak. So Paul is saying, I'm praying for those people in Wington that are going to believe the gospel that I'm preaching to the Gentiles 1970 years from now. I'm praying for you guys that God will say when he looks at you and women to there are some people that are worthy or of my calling. And how do we make oursel worthy of God calling? We have the work of faith with power. Now, obviously, we do not have the work of of faith with power right now. So, we're lacking something, and that's what we're going to talk about. So, we went from 2 Thessalonians 1:11. Now, we're going to go to Daniel 2:22. Daniel 2:22. And Rod, if you want to go ahead and read that one. The Lord's going to have us all participate tonight, I guess. Daniel 2:22. Daniel is towards the uh the end of Jeremiah. Just just go to the big prophecies, the first small after Jeremiah, Isaiah, Jeremiah, and then Daniel. Lamentations and then Daniel. Ezekiel. I mean, after Ezekiel, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, and then there. Don't they love when you put somebody on the spot like that? After Ezekiel, find Ezekiel. Jeremiah, I'm sorry. Yeah. Daniel 2:22. Okay. God reveals the deep and the secret things because he's light and the light is able to illuminate what's in the darkness. Now, if I say to the mountain, let's let's let's bring it down home. Let's say the mountain is not Paul's birdies or idol wild or or baker. Let's say the mountain is a difficulty that you have in your life. Let's say that the mountain is a problem that you have with relationships. Let's say that the mountain is your marriage, your spouse. Let's say that the mountain is your job. Let's say that the mountain is your Christian walk. You do have a desire to do what the word of God says, but you can't do it no matter how hard you try. So let's say that because of division within your heart, you have an undivided heart. Because of division within your heart, you can tell to the mountain in the name of Jesus, but it doesn't come to pass because there's doubt. You see, that's what darkness is. Darkness is doubt. You see, people believe that faith is somehow uh something that you conjure up or or something that you, you know, bring it up for some reason. That that is our our what we believe that faith is. But there's nothing mystic about faith. Faith is knowing something. You see, I know that when I put my keys in the car and I turn the keys, I know that it's going to start. You know how many parts are involved in actually getting the car to start? There's a whole bunch of parts. You have electrical, you have all kinds of things, but yet I don't worry about none of those things. I know that if I put the key on it, that that darn thing is going to start when I turn the key. So you see faith is knowing something and you're so sure. People people say let's use a biblical example this will be better. People think that Abraham somehow was such a superhuman that was able to believe. But the Bible says that God told Abraham, I want you to take your son and I want you to take him to a certain place. I'm going to take you and I want you to sacrifice him there for me. And when he brought him and he tied him up and he was about to sacrifice his son says that the angel of the Lord says Abraham Abraham and stopped him. And it says that at that time Abraham looked beyond the mountain where he was and he saw a ram that was God and the thickets. If you study that Abraham might have been drawn to the attention of a real ram because the ram was sacrificed in the place of Isaac. But he looked beyond the ram. If you if you read, it says he had a vision. And in that vision, he saw Jesus because that mountain where he was is the same mountain where the temple was later built. And it's the same mountain where later Jesus was crucified. So Abraham actually saw Jesus being crucified. You say, "Well, how do you know that?" Well, Jesus said to them, Abraham saw my day and rejoice on it. How did Abraham saw Jesus's day? He had a vision. He visualized in what he was doing with his son. He said, "God, you're not a god of human sacrifice. Those are those idols over there that require that. I don't understand. That's what faith is. I don't understand, but I'm going to follow what you say." And when he was willing to go all the way with God regardless of what it was, then a vision was given to him and he saw Jesus the lamb of God caught in the thicket in the cross. That was the faith that Abraham had. You said Moses, how do you know Moses had so much faith on everything he wrote? Hey, Moses stepped into the mountain with God and come out on the other side and he was in the mount of transfiguration with Jesus. Did you know that Moses was with Jesus on the mount of transfiguration? He said that the Jesus was so radiant in the mount of transfiguration that that he shone brighter than the noonday sun. And yet we see Moses 1500 years earlier come down the mountain with his face shining from being in the in the place of Jesus. So you see faith is not something that you huff and puff for. Faith is being taken by the spirit of God to the place of your victory. You see, faith is taking God taking you ahead of time. You may be going through the most difficult time right now. You may be tormented. You may be in darkness. But Daniel 2:22 says that God reveals. Let's read it again. It says uh he reveals deep and hidden things. He knows what lies in darkness and light dwells with him. You see, there are deep and hidden things in the darkness areas of our soul that keep us from speaking the word and having it come to pass because it have to do with doubt. Doubt comes in. But the Bible says if we understand that God 2 Thessalonians 1:11 that God wants to find me worthy of his calling and in order for me to be found worthy of God's calling, I need to have the work of faith with power. Paul's praying for us. Paul was praying for us. He says, "I'm praying that the work of faith with power will be in you." Well, I cannot have faith with power when there are things hidden within me that are in the darkness. That's what he's saying. You see, Moses had to be brought. Remember when when the cloud came to the mountains that appear, the people were so frightening and so trembling, the people said to Moses, "We cannot bear it. You go talk to God, Moses. will hide back over here away from the mountain. You come back and tell us what God's saying to you. So Moses had to step into the darkness. There was a dark, dreadful darkness that he had to step through before he was able to come into the top of the mountain. And who was in the top of the mountain? Jesus. 1500 years later, Jesus takes James, John, and and and the other disciple. He takes him up. I mean there Peter, James, and Joan. And he takes them up in there. And then all of a sudden, Elisha and uh Moses were there. And what does that tell you? That there's a place in God that transcend time and space. That is the place where faith dwells. You see in time and space right now, I may be sick. I may be under oppression. I may be bound. I may be having all of these problems in this present time and space. But in God, there is a place of time and space where I can go into. And everything that pertains to my life and my godlin is just already there. Jesus is there and Paul is there, I'm pretty sure, because he's the one that's praying for us in this in this thing. He's praying for it. They're there. And all I have to do, I have to allow the darkness that is within me to be dispelled by the light. He says he is light. When you invite God into the area of darkness, darkness please. Did you know that you can take go to the darkest darkest deepest cave take a little box with you while in this dark place you can't see nothing. open the uh the box and allow the darkness to get in there. Then seal the box completely and then bring it out. Then open it and the darkness is gone. But now you can go to the to the to the smallest place. You take a little light, a little candle. Okay? Take a little candle, put in a little box, hide it the tiniest, littlest light, and you can go to the darkest place on the deep of the earth and you open that little light and it will illuminate the whole thing. See, darkness could not comprehend or overcome the light. And we have to realize that there are darkness, areas of darkness in our soul that divide us, that separate us from faith that works. And so we see the problem. We see the problem and we cannot have faith to come into the solution. And God says, "But I want you to have faith that works. I want you to have power when you pray. I want to found you worthy. And without faith, it is impossible to please me, says God. So I need you to come into a place to where you allow me into the dark recesses of your soul. Did you know that Abraham uh was with God? God takes him out and said, "Look, Abraham, see that many stars? If you could count them, you can't, right?" Well, that's how many. See, Abraham didn't have children at that time. And God says, "That's how many descendants you're going to have." The Bible says that Abraham believed, and so God says, "You're righteous because you believe. And if you believe, you're saved. you're delivered. You're righteous. But then Abraham comes back in and says, "Okay, God, now how am I going to know that what you just promised me, what you just revealed to me, that I'm really going to get it?" You see, that's what faith does. Faith, God says, "I am the Lord that heals you and I'm sick. I need to say, "Oh, I'm healed." No, no, I don't say that because it's a lie. I'm not. I'm sick. I'm tormented. Whatever it is, what we say is, "Okay, Lord, you said that I am healed. Now I need to take the light of your word and I need to bring it to my time and space. How do I do that? How can I come into that? What does uh God said to Abraham? Take a three-year-old ram, a goat, and a lamb or or a a bull. Cut them in half. Take two birds. One one of the birds uh is a John fishing and the other one is a a dove. do that means term and deer. This is how God signs a covenant. And the young fleshing uh fleshling means that uh just just a little mustard seed of faith that we have. Those were not cut. Those were put on the end. But the the ram, the goat, uh uh the bull were cut in half and spread in between. And then he says that after Abraham did, you know what that symbolizes? spirit, soul and body being cut in half. You see the word meismos, the word uh Hebrews 4:12, the word of God is lifegiving energy, and it is able to divide a sunder between spirit and soul, between joints and marrows, and between your heart and the your thoughts and the attitudes of your heart. They had to be Abraham had to say, "God, I'm going to open myself up. I know that I've been hurt so many times in the past. I know that I've been disappointed so many times in the past. I know that I have so many promises that didn't come for me in the past. But God, I am willing to open myself up to your promise. I am willing to allow your light, Lord, to come into that area of darkness that is deep within me." You know what it says? that as soon as Abraham did that, the birds of prey came, the crawls and the buzzers came in to go and Abraham had to fight him away. You see, whenever you make a try to make a covenant with God, okay, God, you promise me, I believe, so you say I'm righteous, but I need to know how can I receive deliverance? How can I be set free, Lord? And God says, okay, open up your soul. As soon as you open up your soul, Satan is going to come in and he's going to try to get in there. He's going to try to steal. Jesus says, "My word is like the seed that falls by the road and by the different places and the enemy comes in and pecks at it, takes it away." So, you need to guard that word. Satan is going to say, "You're getting worse. You're getting worse. You're not a That's when you take that word and and you fight those buzzers off." And then all of a sudden a deep and dreadful darkness came. I think that's on Genesis 12 or 17. I think it's probably 12. But anyway, as you read on it, a deep and dreadful darkness comes over Abraham. And then in the midst of the deepest darkness to where he couldn't see anything, a fire pot appears out of the heaven and comes in and it goes right into the pieces. And you know what he was doing? It was consuming, putting everything back together. That's what the word meismos is. When it says the word of God is lifegiving energy that is able to divide, the same word appears on Hebrews 2:4 where it says and God by sign. So the Holy Spirit gave gift. The word metismos mean been cut apart so that God can gift you. Faith is a gift. Faith is a fruit of the spirit and faith is a gift. The faith that move mountain is a gift from God. And that gift can only be imparted into your heart when you're willing to allow the darkness of our heart. We're willing to allow to be cut open as if it were. God, I'm going to trust you with my heart. I know that every time I trusted in the past, I was hurt. I know that every time I open myself up, I was wounded. I know that every time that I done that, Lord, I've been kicked. But I'm going to trust you now because I I want to be found worthy. I want to have faith in my life. I want to have faith with power that works in me. So Lord, I am going to trust you. I'm going to enter into a covenant with you. I'm going to cut myself. I'm going to let your word cut me open. I'm going to let your word undress me. I'm going to let your word really expose everything that is within me. Lord, I'm going to open up myself to you because I want that light that Daniel 2:22 says. It says there that and light dwells with him. He knows what lies in darkness and light dwells with him. Okay. Our next scripture is 333. Maybe Fred, you can read this one. It's on uh uh let's see uh Jeremiah uh 33. Jeremiah 33:3. It's two books to the left of where we were. Yep. Praise God. Call me. Now you hear that. God says, "Call upon me." Now what we're were saying in Daniel 2:22, God knows what lies in the darkness. He knows what lies on the secret place. So now God is saying, "Call to me and I will answer you." And look what in my translation it says, "And I will tell you great and uncarchable things you do not know." That sounds like deliverance to me. That sounds like deliverance to me. I'm going to I call unto me. You know, in in the Bible, it tells us in the Old Testament and the New Testament, they that call upon the Lord shall be saved. And of course, the word saved means deliver, heal, restore. They that call upon the Lord shall be fixed. They that call upon the Lord shall be made new be will be made renewed. So what does Jeremiah say? Call upon me and I'm going to show you things about you that you have no idea. See, God is able to go into that place of darkness. God, did you know that God can go all the way to the womb? Did you know that when you were conceived, I think it's six weeks? Six weeks, we're already pumping our own blood and we're able to receive sense of things. Did you know that the first thing that you sense when you're in the womb, that's our world. The the womb is our world where we're conceived and we're actually developed. that when we come out, we come out with everything that we need put together. But the very first thing that we feel in the womb is whether we were rejected or accepted. The very first thing that we feel in the womb is whether there's love or whether there's rejection. The first thing that we feel in the womb is whether there are curses upon us because that's where the demons ride. If you were conceived out of wordlock, if you were conceived by lust, if you were conceived unwanted, you know, all of those things can go all the way to there. And did you know that it's amazing, especially now that I'm 59 years old, my recollections of when I was a kid get less and less and less. You know, when I was younger, I could remember a lot of my youth. I remember things, but it seems like it's like a computer just gets to the end and then you have to bump delete some things out so that you can still put new stuff on. And usually the stuff that you get rid of is stuff from when you went back there. But you know, those things that go way to the back affect my personality today. You see, if I've experienced disappointment in the past when God says to me, speak and you will have what you ask for. Ask me and whatever you ask for, I will give it to you. If I had disappointment in in my heart and it's hidden in the dark part of my heart when I speak, there's a part of me that say, no, it's not going to happen because you ask your dad when you were two years old, dad, can you pick me up? And that was too busy with something else. Says, "Not now, son." And he just puts you to the side. Dad put a a a cut, a little cut up in there to where dad is not always going to pick you up. And you see, and when you said, "Mom, can I have this?" And mom was too busy and ignored you and rejected you in some kind of way. You see, all of those things build up in there. And then when daddy God, you come to him and and you say, "I have a need." And and you're moved by the word. You hear Fred preaching and and you find one of the promises and you say, "Daddy God, I need this." Immediately, there's a part of you way in there that is in darkness that you don't know, that you don't remember that's going to say, "Oh, you're going to be rejected. Don't you remember when your dad said no? When your mom said no? When your teacher said you were stupid? Did you know that all those words stupid, moronum, uh uh all of the things that had to do with with what you were talking about uh arrested development, all of those words arrest or hinder your being developed. So that by the time we grow up, we may be mature on the outside, but our maturity, our spiritual maturity has been hindered so much that we're just like kids. We have no understanding. But yet God says, "Call me. Call on me and I will show you things that you cannot retrieve by your own natural power." You see, God is in the business of computers. I believe God is is great at computers. Our mind, you know, computers are our pattern after our minds. You know, they have retrieval system. If you want to be good at remembering things, you have to associate them with something. You associate things with different things. So you associate uh uh things just like a computer and you're able to click. Well, guess what? God has your secret code to your computer. And God is able to bring things up that you need to settle in your heart. And that can only happen when you're well willing to go into a covenant with God. See, a covenant with God is different than just believing God. It's different than serving God. Uh it it's just like having a boyfriend or a g girlfriend. It's different than being married to them. Okay? You can do everything that married people do, but you can walk out anytime. In marriage, you can't do that. Marriage is a covenant that is witness by witnesses and that is sention by God. You see, and so you need to understand in the spiritual realm that God is not going to go to bed with us as if it were going to the intimacy of the bedroom of our heart unless we mean business with him. And unfortunately, there's too much of that child of Christianity today. We want to date God and we want to do all the things, but we're not willing to go all the way with him. And to go all the way with God, you have to allow him to cut you deep inside. You have to say, "God, okay." And you know, one of my prayers is, "Oh Lord, I always asking for the fire of God." But I said, "Lord, please give me the strength to endure the fire because the fire is not fun, man. Fire is hard." But you know, it's amazing how God, see, God has different priorities that we have. He said, "My thoughts are not your thoughts and my ways are not your way." We might think that the worst thing in us is our tattoo or our earrings or our hairdo or stuff like that. God might say, "You know what? I want to start with this little thing that happened to you when you were three years old." And he'll bring that to my my wife had a dream just the other day just so real to her. Uh she has a a brother I'm an uncle, Uncle Bob. And then uh he's older than your mom, right? in this dream that she had her uncle Bob just had what his 70th or 50th wedding anniversary something a big 60th 60th wedding a big family reunion so he's getting close to go home uh to go with the Lord well the Lord showed her in a dream I mean she's never heard this or anything this just revelation from God that he said some words to her mom because her mom was a lot younger when her mom was either a teenager yeah when she was very young she was real young when she was teenager that's what I And she called her what? I don't know what he said, but there were words that hurt her real deeply. Hurt it real deep. Now, her mom is already dead and going with the Lord. But you see, those words had an effect not only on her mom, but it passed out to all of her generation forces and stuff like that. And then the cleansing that the Lord is doing, he says, "You need to deal with this thing that was never dealt with in your family." Can you imagine that? Forgive. Yeah. To forgive him. She has to speak the words to forgive her uncle Bob for what her uncle Bob did to her mother. Now see, we have no idea what all of that entails. But God says, "You girls are being affected by what Uncle Bob said to your mom 60, 40, 50 years ago, whatever it was." And yet God was able to say to my wife through a dream. He said, "You need to He took her there. God actually took her there and said, "You don't need to know the words. You don't need what's going on. You just know that what he did offended your mom and your mom probably never got over that. And that was a notch in her heart that was passed down to you guys. You didn't even know it's affecting you. But I'm working deliverance on you. So here, forgive Uncle Bob. Once Uncle Bob is forgiven, whatever demons was attached to that are gone. Not only that, Uncle Bob is released. He can go down to the grave whenever his time comes to go. He's he's released from that. See, that's how God works. God works like that. But God has to be asked. If we read again in in in Jeremiah 33:33, he says, "Call to me. Call to me. Call to me and I will answer you and I will tell you great and uncarchable things that you do not know." Unsearchable things. Unsearchable things to us. We cannot retrieve it. How can she retrieve something that she wasn't even there when this happened 50, 60 years ago? She wasn't even born yet. How can you? Well, God does. He knows your garbage. God knows your garbage. God reads your mail. God knows everything that's there. But God says, "Okay, call unto me." So, here we have 2 Thessalonians 1:11. God says, "I want you to have faith that works. I want I I I want you to be found worthy of my calling. I have a call upon your life." Remember, many are called, but few are chosen. Who are the ones that are chosen? The ones that have faith that works. It's that simple. Without faith, it's impossible to please God. So, your call, God wants you to be worthy of that calling. And in order for you to be worthy of that calling, you got to have faith that works. And in order for have to have faith that works, we need a heart that is not divided. We need an undivided heart. And in order to get an univarted undivided heart, you got to go to Daniel 2:22 and allow the God of light to come in into the place of darkness and to reveal those deep and secret things that are in there. And God is not going to come in there unless you call him to come in because Revelation 3:20 says, "Behold, I stand at the door and knock. And if anybody answers the door, opens the door, I will come in and I'm going to have fellowship. I'm going to sit and have dinner with you." See, back in those days, the more intimate thing that you could do with people was sitting at the table and having dinner with them. That's where the new covenant was made. That's where that's where the old covenant was made. People were supposed to gather and kill the lamb, put the blood. That's what the covenant was. So God is saying, "I want to be intimate with you. But you got to call me in. You have to invite me. And you have to be willing to allow me to cut you because you see faith is not going to work for you. You're not going to have no power in your faith unless I shine my light in your heart." Hebrews uh 20:27, the spirit of the man is the candle of the Lord searching all all the inward parts of the belly or the heart. This is where the different compartment that are in there. Listen, my friend, when you tell God, Lord, I want to expose whatever is in me that is not right, it's not going to be pretty. Okay? If you ever go into a closet that hasn't been open for a long time, going to be a lot of garbage there. Had a dream not that long ago going through this deliverance process that I've been going. It was um after I preach here two weeks ago about Leviathan and I was going through a bucket. I was cleaning and it was in my house back in Cuba, my my patio. And in this bucket there was all kinds of different cans of paint that were all and I was taking them and throwing them away. And then there was one that was still full that could be used and I saved that. And when I got to the bottom there was a can that had split open somehow and there was paint all over thick paint all the bottom. In other words, it was a mess and it was a mess to get into that. And then all of a sudden as I got into that I looked at the floor and right there was mud. the bottom of the thing became mud and all of a sudden in that mud there was the form of some kind of an animal. I said, "Man," because I was standing there and so I picked up a root that was in there and I poked the thing and it was this big giant alligator and I had been sitting there this whole time next to this alligator. You see, I was digging deep into my my pelite back into where Cuba was. That's what that symbolized. And you know what the thing I had in my hand? It was a root. It was a root partially like a bamboo root type of thing. And it had three stems on it. One was longer. That's what I poked the thing with. I got up and I read 11 uh Isaiah 11:1 where it says the root of Jesse, the root of Jesse, which is Jesus. The branch. He says the branch. The root of Jesse. That's what I poked this alligator with. This is a Leviathan that was hidden inside of me. This is part of my past that was in the mud that was there. And then I run to the house to get my wife and say, "Honey, you can't believe it. The place where we've been sitting, I'm ministering all this time. There's this big thing that was buried there. And by the time I get back with that root in my hand to get the thing, it was nothing but clear water. All the mud had clear out. And there was this alligator. You know, alligator is is another uh translation for Leviathan. Is the Lord showing me that if you go into a covenant, you begin to dig deep into the things that are there, the fountain. Zechariah says, "In that day, I will open up a fountain for for the cleansing from sin." That's what Jesus has done for us. He He is our fountain. In Isaiah said, "All of my fountains are in you, Lord." And he has given us the weapon. The weapon is the root of Jesse. And in that one, it talks about the the manifold wisdom of God, the seven spirit, the wisdom, the knowledge, the power. So you see, there's a step that I'm trying to put here. If we need it, we need the work of faith with power so that we can be found worthy, then we need to allow the God of light to come into our soul and reveal those deep hidden things. And it's not going to happen unless we ask God to give us those things that are unsearchable to us, but that God is able to expose. Now, let's go to 444. I don't know this. I I wrote this a week ago and I haven't done anything, but the Lord says chair and and don't even prepare. Just look him up. Ezekiel 44:4. Who wants to read that? Rich, can you do it over there? Ezekiel 44:4. This is so neat. The Lord gave me this revelation when I was laying down and I just went and look for scriptures and look for the numbers. 3:44. Do you get it? Do you get it? We are the temple. We're the temple of God. Where's the temple of the Holy Spirit? And what does 4:44 says? God brought me in through a gate. He brought me in through a door. And when I got there, the glory of the Lord came into the temple. You You got to see this. The glory of the Lord came after the light was brought into the darkness. After we ask the Lord to bring revelation, after we ask the Lord to expose what was in darkness, after we asked the Lord, Lord, I want you to cut me. I want to enter a co I want to enter into a covenant with you. I want you, Lord, to expose what to expose whatever is in me that will hinder the work of faith with power. I don't want to have a divided heart, Lord. I want your God to your word to cut me, to do the mismo, to expose, to heal, to strip me so that I can then have your glory. See, the Holy Spirit is not going to come when there's filth in there. You know, you you I I did a house for a doctor once. He was German, but he made his money in Venezuela. He developed a drug company or whatever and this guy made tons and tons of money and his wife this was many many years ago. She smoked like a like a shim. I mean continuous. She had this long long cigarette. She I don't know if they were called Virginia Slims or whatever. The cigarettes were like tw Home Previous Next
- WHEN YOU PUT JESUS FIRST | House of Faith Ministries (HoFM)
WHEN YOU PUT JESUS FIRST The objective of this teaching is to encourage believers to prioritize Jesus Christ above all else, recognizing that putting Him first transforms every area of life. By confessing Christ before others, living without fear of men, and walking daily in faith and obedience, Christians experience the revelation of God’s truth, the empowerment of the Holy Spirit, and the assurance of their eternal value in God’s eyes. WHEN YOU PUT JESUS FIRST Minister Lisa Kane June 8, 2025 Objective: The objective of this teaching is to encourage believers to prioritize Jesus Christ above all else, recognizing that putting Him first transforms every area of life. By confessing Christ before others, living without fear of men, and walking daily in faith and obedience, Christians experience the revelation of God’s truth, the empowerment of the Holy Spirit, and the assurance of their eternal value in God’s eyes. Synopsis: In this lesson, Lisa Kane explores Matthew 10, highlighting the call to boldly confess Jesus before men and the blessings that follow when believers put Him first. The teaching emphasizes that fear of people and circumstances must be replaced by fear of God, who alone holds eternal authority over body and soul. Through examples from personal life, scripture, and ministry, Lisa illustrates how God reveals hidden truths, gives direction through His Spirit, and confirms His presence in moments of obedience. Believers are reminded that confessing Christ publicly stems from the intimacy of the “secret place” with God, where prayer and devotion cultivate strength for witness. Prioritizing Jesus above family ties, personal desires, or worldly concerns may bring division, but it also secures the believer’s eternal standing before the Father. The message concludes by affirming that Jesus’ sacrifice on the cross proves our immense value to Him, and in response, we are called to love Him above all, walking daily in boldness, faithfulness, and love. Inspired Teaching - Written and/or Transcribed from Video Above: Hello and welcome to the House of Faith Ministries. I'm Lisa Kaine and I'm teaching this lesson today on Sunday, June 8th, 2025. Welcome. Let's open up in a word of prayer. Father God, we thank you for your word. Lord, I pray over the listeners to hear your word, to receive your word, that their hearts and minds, ears and eyes are prepped and ready, and that they not only receive, but apply it to their hearts and minds, to their lives, that they walk in your word in confidence, in boldness, in faithfulness. And I thank you Lord that your Holy Spirit is imparting upon the listeners here and now to have a change of life and be bold in com uh confessing you before men and not to be afraid of men. Thank you Lord. In the name of Jesus we pray. Amen. Amen. Welcome. Glad you can join me today. Uh this uh teaching is called when you put Jesus first. Let's go to our opening scripture here. uh Matthew 10:32. We'll be focusing on Matthew uh 10 quite a bit today. Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my father which is in heaven. So we're going to be talking about confessing. We are going to be talking about how when you put Jesus first and he becomes a priority in your life, what happens next? And you're going to see that here. Now, as a reminder for those who are new, when you see a w a word here that's in bold, that's the word in the King James version. And the word in parentheses afterwards is another translation of that word from um esord. That's where I get it from. And I put those extra words in there. It really helps us to see the meaning behind what the translation was from the original. In this case, we're in the New Testament. So, it's the original Greek to English. And so, we're going to be uh looking at that. So, let's talk about confessing. What happens when you put Jesus first in your life? What does that do to you? Let's start here in Matthew 10 uh verse 26. It says, "Fear them not." And that word fear is be alarmed not. So, basically, don't be alarmed. Fear them not, therefore, or do not be alarmed of them. For there is nothing covered or hidden that shall not be revealed and hid that shall not be known or concealed not be known. So we as believers have a right to know the mystery behind the scriptures and behind what God is doing. He is sharing that to those of us who get closer to God and put God first. So, one of the first things that happens, and there's no particular order of these at all. This is just a transformation of what happens to our minds and our hearts and our bodies. I hope I didn't make that sound too loud. Um, when we put Jesus first and he's saying that first of all, don't fear anyone else. And we're going to talk more about this fear in just a moment, but he says, "Do not fear them, for there's nothing covered that shall not be revealed." In other words, everything that goes on, even behind the scenes in the dark places where people think they're doing secret sin, guess what? As a believer in Christ, we know because there's a little birdie telling us. And his name is the Holy Spirit. He's showing us that it's going to be revealed, meaning the cover, the darkness is going to come out of that. It's going to be off of that. And then he's saying that um whatever is concealed that shall not be known. So let's read that again just straight through. Fear them not therefore for there is nothing covered that shall not be revealed and he that shall not be known. So we will know these things as believers in Christ. Okay, that's good. Let's continue on because we are talking about what happens when you put Jesus first. You know how uh Matthew 6 uh 333 says uh seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness and then all these things will be added unto you. Well, part of seek first the kingdom of God, that's the ministry and then seek first the uh and his righteousness. That's personal change that takes place and then all these things will be added unto you. So, this is a gift that you're seeing that the Holy Spirit will reveal the things that are going on behind the scenes. And I'm gonna tell you right now, I've had some revelations given to me that I was like, "Oh." So, you know, for those that don't believe, they're not going to understand this, but those of us who put Jesus first in our lives, we're we've got a gift that the Holy Spirit is going to talk through us. So, let's continue on. Verse 27. What I tell you in darkness or dimness, obscurity, that's speaking in light. And let me focus a little bit on this. Sometimes we don't understand why or what God asks us to do. Uh for example, I was in praise and worship this morning uh at church and wow, the anointing was so strong and I was just weeping, but there's a person that came to mind and I texted her a word from the Lord. I don't know what's going on there, but I know if I'm obedient to the Lord, he's speaking to her. And she responded in kind. So you can see that he says, "So what I tell you in darkness, uh, and sometimes dimness, obscurity, like sometimes in a dream, you might get something from the Lord and you'll be like, "What was that?" And it was interesting because I've had a couple of dreams over this past week and um maybe a week and a half. And what is just so interesting, I got a word from the Lord through scripture and a sister had given me a word from the Lord from another scripture. put those scriptures together and everything I experienced, not just the dreams, but everything I was doing in real life was spoken in those scriptures. And I was like, "Oh, that's the Lord speaking to me." Which he was telling me not to fear them. I went um yesterday, uh, excuse me, Friday to see an aunt and uncle. Uh, he had just gotten out of the hospital, been through a lot. We basically witnessed and prayed over them and anointed them with oil. And was interesting is my aunt confessed Jesus Christ as her Lord and Savior. And she just she got touched. So very excited about that. But that was the word that the Lord was giving me again through dimness and obscurity or darkness. And he says, "Speak that in light." So when we got there, I wasn't afraid. I just spoke the truth. Here, I bought you a Bible. We want to pray with you. We want to put the anointing on the Lord. And they were accepting of it. There's nothing to be ashamed about that because you'll be surprised how much people want this. In fact, I remember days of my youth many many years ago like 30ome years ago as a young woman of God and we went door to door and I kept thinking this is just oh people are not going to you know you're invading their privacy basically. But every door we went to and knocked on and we asked do you just need prayer? You want us to pray with you? They all said yes. So you'll be surprised what the Holy Spirit is doing behind the scenes when you walk out in faith like that. Amen. So he says um and what ye hear in the ear that preach ye upon the housetops. Now I hear from the Lord every day because I spend time in the word. I am constantly putting God first. He is my priority. So he start I start them off every day and I end them off every night. And when you do that, you're going to hear the word of God speak to you. And this is why I wanted to kind of teach on this because this is one of the scriptures that the Lord gave me this week in regards to visiting my aunt and uncle and walking in the gifts and walking in faith which I just been talking about walking in the gifts. So we need to seek first our God have that relationship with him and you see all these things are going to be given unto us which are these gifts that the Holy Spirit gives to us. So as you can see here he says teach it, preach it, get it out on the housetops. let everybody know what's going on because you have a light that's inside of you that's manifesting out of you and yeah, they want to see that and they, you know what, they respond to that. Like I said, my aunt, I spoke to her the week before and told her we were coming out because it's it's a bit of a drive to get to her. She's in another state, but it was just interesting to see how she responded. And it was, I'm just coming out in faith. I'm going to put the Lord first and then I'm going to come over here and pray for you because I love you. And when that love Oh my goodness. Her and I were crying on the phone. Anyways, the Lord moves. And that is the anointing there. And I love that. So, we want to teach it. You want to get it out there. You want to tell people about it. And it says, "Fear." Here it goes again about fear. And fear not them which kill the body but are not able to kill the soul, but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell. Now, there's a very interesting scripture. It's not one I hear uh spoken on quite often, but there are killers out there, and it's more than just a person. And we're talking there's a spirit of killing that is out there. That's for another teaching. I can teach on that another time. There's a an avenger there. All of these spiritual things are going on in the background. Well, here's what's so interesting is there are other things that are killing us every day. It could be the sun rays. It could be the medications we're taking. There's consequences to all of this cuz see our flesh is just that. It's flesh. It's dying. Every day we get up, we age another day. Doesn't start over. We don't go back to our youth. At least not in the physical without God. When you put God first in your life, here is another thing that happens. When you put Jesus first, you wake up renewed, refreshed. His uh joy is his mercies are new every day. You have that opportunity to start a new day over with him. Again, this is why I start with him first every morning. Pull out my scripture. We pray and I've got my set I'm an intercessory prayer warrior. So, I pray every I have a set set of prayers that I do for each day of the week. And this is because I give God glory. I put him first in my life and then all the rest of the things. Now I I will tell you, am I aging still? Yes. Am I aging better than some? Yes. Am I aging a little slower or something? Yes. And it's not because of my bathroom routine or the soaps I use. It's because I spend time with Jesus first. He's the oh, I don't want to use the term magic elixir for the youth or the fountain of youth, but he is our life. And when you put him first, you have life. You see, Romans 6:23 says, "The wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is life." We have life and life abundantly when we put Jesus first in our lives. Amen. Continuing on to verse 29. Now I want you to get this and and understand. He says, "Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? And one of them shall not fall on the ground without your father, but the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear ye not, therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows." You see, God takes care of the sparrows. He takes care of all the birds out there. They are wellfed. They die when he says they're to die. He does all and he then he comes out and says, "But how much more valuable are you than them?" He even knows how many hairs you have on your body at any given time. And that changes by the second. I mean, because especially the older you get, your hair thins out, you're losing hair, and then you end up and then you end up with extra hair in places you're not supposed to. That's okay because this is how God knows us at every moment of every day. You see, he's out of time. He's not aging. He's the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow. Whereas you and I are outside of him. We're in time. So, we change. I'm not the same person I was 20 years ago. For that matter, I'm not the same person I was five years ago. It it is amazing to see even after being a Christian since I was six how my relationship with the Lord transformed and changed throughout the ages of all these years of the decades you know I am going on 56 years old no I'm 56 going on 57 something like that but I know this I know that the Lord is first in my life and because I put him first my entire being transformed. I'm not the same. I am not going to be the same either because I don't want to go back that way. I want to go forward and be closer to the Lord, especially now that I know how valuable I am to him. This is why Jesus went to the cross and died for me and for you. It was the most difficult thing to do and there's so much he did in that moment. But he did it because he loves us. He considers us valuable. He paid the ransom for you and I because we were taken captive and he set us free with his act on the cross. And it's it's incredible. And and when you get that suddenly it now the reverse happens. He's more valuable to me than anything else in this world or that what this world can offer. I mean, I just love the fact that I have breath in my lungs. Yeah. I I'm also getting aches and pains as I age. Um I also seeing the as I age, you know, more wrinkles, but I'm walking more in wisdom now. And I wouldn't change it for a thing. I love the way the knowledge I have today with my Lord. And I don't want to go back. My eternity actually has already begun. And part of that was when I accepted Christ into my heart when I was six. I was waterbaptized when I was nine. And the Lord has transformed my life. And he continues to do it every day. My relationship has grown exponentially. And it continues to grow because I put him first. It is an action on my part and I encourage you to act on that too. Make him a priority because he's more valuable than all the money in the world. And I promise you that. Amen. Continuing on now, we're in verse 32. This is our opening scripture. Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my father which is in heaven. Now see, when you enter into the world, so you spent secret time with the Lord, you were in hidden because you put him first. You you said, "I'm going to read this morning." That was just you and him in that quiet, private moment. And you decided to open up that word and you read it. Well, then he talks to you through that word and he says, "Go confess it to those out there." And so what you did in secret becomes public because of God. You see this is why when you do secret things, secret sin, it will become public. Now you have to confess that before the Lord and say, I do not want to live like that. So the question to ask here now and to ask yourself this is am I doing something in secret in with the Lord and is it possible that he could reveal that and it's like he can do anything. So if he's going to reveal that eventually, then maybe you ought to confess, repent, and turn your life around so that what you're doing in the darkness, which is I praise the Lord in the darkness. And when you're doing that, it comes out in the forefront, especially, you know, as you are confessing before men, you're acknowledging Jesus before men. He's going to acknowledge you before his father, our father who art in heaven. And then verse 33 says, "But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my father which is in heaven." And denial there means to contradict or disavow. You go against what God is doing. And I can there's a lot of examples I can use and the one that comes to my mind right now is which I think is a classic example is the hatred of our president Trump. People hate him. They have their reasons and they're probably justified. But see, God asks you to forgive. And if you're not going to do that, see, God has forgiven. And if you're supposed to be Christlike, then you need to line up with him and forgive. If you're not going to do that, now you're just portraying anger and hatred out against him to the world. Well, guess what God is going to do to you? See, that comes back to you because of the choice in the decision that you decided to make on that. And this is where we have to realize even if we disagree and there, you know, we're we bigly or majorly disagree, that still means God is still in control and he's all about mercy. So, we need to line up and have mercy with him. Give him that mer give the mercy to the Lord and give the hatred to the Lord. Have mercy and say, "You know what, Lord? I'm going to take my eyes off of him. Take my eyes off of the hatred. I'm going to put my eyes on you. I'm gonna fix my eyes on you. And that is where the change begins in your life because you put Jesus first in your life. This is another thing that all of this section of scripture just talks about what happens when you put Jesus first in your life. This is why I entitled this message the way I did. Look at this now. Uh verse 34. Think not that I am come to send peace and on earth by the way the word peace there is also means prosperity says I came not to sense peace but a sword or war punishment you see a lot of people think that when you become a Christian you're all at peace and the God of peace is upon us but that doesn't mean he doesn't change the actions of the world. War still takes place. Racism is still out there. Hatred is still out there. And by the way, people who believe in Christ can also hate. So you have all of this activity still going on because Jesus didn't come to bring peace. What did he come to do? says in verse 35, "For I am come to set a man at variance, or to make a part against his father, and the daughter against his mother, and the daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law. And a man's foes to hate shall be they of his own household." Those that are going to hate you are your own household. This is why one of the things I was worried about going to visit my aunt uncle to pray over them was what they believe in versus what I believe in. I thought maybe this is going to turn into a clash of religion talk or you know politic talk at at the dinner table for your loved ones like at Thanksgiving or Christmas. But it didn't turn into that. One of the reasons is I went to the Lord, gave it to the Lord. I had people calling and texting me saying what's going on because the spirit was doing a rally call to those around me saying pray for her. pray for her family and the Lord was moving and he moved in that area and that's why it happened the way it did. I put Jesus first. Do you want your loved ones saved? If so, that you got to put Jesus first. Cuz see, one of the things that I know was one of the key factors here was when I was talking to her on the phone over several conversations, I would tell her, "I love you and I love Uncle so and so trying to keep this uh private for them. I would confess the love over them and you know what that resonated with them. See, I'm not here to force anything on anyone. You don't like this, turn it off. Walk away. But if you're really somebody who wants to put Jesus first in your life, there are consequences to putting Jesus first in your life, that's saving your family, that's saving your neighbors, that's ministering at church, but it's mostly being in the secret place with the Lord. Psalm 91. And I've taught a lot on Psalm 91 throughout the years. You can go see a whole I think one year I think almost every single message I taught that entire year had to do with get into the secret place of the Lord because what he does in secret he what you do in secret is going to be revealed. Now continuing on, he says um he that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me. And he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. And he that taketh not his cross followeth after me is not worthy of me. What he's saying here is what is your priority? Are you trying to be better than your parents? Maybe at a certain age you the rebellion you had is kind of still secretly there as you got older and now you know they're getting up there in age and you've seen them change but you're like I remember them the way they were. Well, see this is where you have to let the Lord change you too. And we are in a season right now where I see it happening on a personal level for a lot of people, but there's still a lot of people out there that are full of hate. And the anti-semitism right now is just absolutely incredible. I I if you would asked me 10 years ago that this was even possible, I I would have said, "Well, maybe some, but this is at a level where it's on a corporate level, on a national level, on a city level, on a the hatred and the anger is really, really bad towards um the Jewish community. I mean, to the point where they're just shooting them in the back, which is what happened a couple weeks ago to a beautiful uh couple that he was about to propose to her. And you know, but they're hopefully with the Lord right now, just resting in peace. And right now our job is to be in the secret confessing Jesus asking him to remove that hatred from us. Asking him to remove the hurt from us because a lot of hatred is driven by hurt. So we just have to say, "Lord, I want to be healed by you and I'm going to let this go." And and you just give it to the Lord. And notice it says here in love. Look at that. It says in love. Says he that love. So he's talking about love. So if your active love is towards your family, towards uh other things, you might even love the hatred you have towards President Trump. You might love that more. That's an act of love because you're spending and dwelling so much time on it. That's your act of love. So how do you get your act of love to change? You have to put Jesus first in your life. And to do that is to come into your secret place. This is what I do in here. And when I again, it's first thing I do in the morning. It's the last thing I do at night. I pray and I read the word of God because he's more valuable to me. And I love him more than any other thing out in the world. In fact, this world has nothing to offer me anymore. I choose Christ and I look forward to being in his presence. Now, I'm not going to jump the gun or do anything stupid. I have a job here to do. I'm going to do it and I'm going to do it out of love because one of the things that he revealed to me in the last couple years of my life is that he loves everybody else just as much as he loves me. And if I'm gonna line myself up with him and I'm gonna be like Jesus, then I'm going to love them like he loves them. Now, I may not be able to do it to the full extent like he went to the cross. I can't do that. But what I can do is I can pray, intercede, and just say, "Lord, I forgive them." And when I forgive, he's obligated to forgive. And that's found in Matthew 6. So this is a time and a season where we want to humble ourselves before the Lord and show him our love by spending time with him. Now it is prophesied in Matthew 24 that love will grow cold. Well, let me tell you something. It might be cold. Maybe I'm not doing it to the full extent of of generations like the disciples did after they saw what Jesus went through. I'm sure they believed and love God so much so that they went to the cross for him. I don't know that I could ever do that, but I know this. My eyes are fixed on him. I choose him first in my life. And because I do that, all of these things happen in my life. Amen. Let's close in a word of prayer. Father God, we thank you for your word. We thank you for touching our hearts and allowing love to grow in our hearts. So that we show our appreciation and love for you in the secret place that is revealed in the public. that we are interceding and praying for those and that what you reveal to us in our secret place, we preach it out on the housetops or the rooftops to the world and we let them know that you're our priority. And because that we love you and now that I know you love the others, I am hoping and praying for them that not one soul is lost, which Jesus said they would not lose one. And I thank you for that, Father God. We love you and we praise you. We put you first in our lives in the name of Jesus. Amen. And amen. Thank you. God bless you and I will see you in the next teaching. Bye-bye. Home Previous Next
- THERE IS ONLY ONE GOD AND YOU WILL KNOW | House of Faith Ministries (HoFM)
THERE IS ONLY ONE GOD AND YOU WILL KNOW The objective of this message is to affirm and teach the biblical truth that there is only one true God, revealed as Creator, Redeemer, and King. The message seeks to help believers recognize false idols, false teachers, and deceptive ideologies by grounding themselves in Scripture. It emphasizes the importance of knowing God personally through His Word, so that believers are not deceived but remain steadfast in faith, transformed in heart and mind, and ready to witness His power and truth revealed in all generations. THERE IS ONLY ONE GOD AND YOU WILL KNOW Minister Lisa Kane September 4, 2024 Objective: The objective of this message is to affirm and teach the biblical truth that there is only one true God, revealed as Creator, Redeemer, and King. The message seeks to help believers recognize false idols, false teachers, and deceptive ideologies by grounding themselves in Scripture. It emphasizes the importance of knowing God personally through His Word, so that believers are not deceived but remain steadfast in faith, transformed in heart and mind, and ready to witness His power and truth revealed in all generations. Synopsis: In “There is Only One God and You Will Know”, Lisa Kane teaches from Isaiah 44 and supporting scriptures to highlight God’s declaration of His uniqueness and supremacy. Through a personal dream of idols collapsing, Lisa illustrates how false gods—whether physical idols or modern ideologies—are powerless and destined to fall. She stresses that transformation begins when we truly know who God is, as all Scripture is designed to reveal Him and confirm His sovereignty. The message warns against false prophets and counterfeit teachings, reminding believers to test everything against the Bible. By understanding God’s Word, Christians can discern truth from deception and avoid the traps of modern false ideologies. Lisa points to prophecies in Isaiah, Ezekiel, Jeremiah, and Revelation, showing how God continually declares that all people will ultimately know He is Lord. She also connects these prophecies to Christ as Redeemer and King, explaining how Jesus fulfills God’s promise to save, deliver, and reveal Himself to all flesh. Throughout, the teaching emphasizes the believer’s responsibility to study Scripture, walk in faith, and guard against deception. Lisa concludes with a call to transformation, urging believers to confess Christ, grow in relationship with Him, and stand firmly on the truth that there is only one God. The message closes in prayer, thanking God for His Word, His protection from false teaching, and His revelation of Himself as the only true and living God. Inspired Teaching - Written and/or Transcribed from Video Above: Hello and welcome to the House of Faith Ministries. I'm Lisa Kaine and I'm recording this on Wednesday, September 4th, 2024. Welcome. Let's open up in a word of prayer. Father God, we thank you for your word and we bless your word. We pray that your word does not return void. We also pray and ask that you prepare the listeners to hear your word and move me aside so that your holy spirit speaks directly to their spirit and not through Lisa, not of Lisa, but through your holy spirit. Let your voice be heard and thank you Lord for you are amazing, glorious, faithful, true and honorable. You are worthy, just full of loving kindness, mercy and grace. Thank you in the name of Jesus we pray. Amen. Amen. Amen. So this message is called There is only one God and you will know. So let's go to our opening scripture here in Isaiah 44:6. Thus sayeth the Lord, the King of Israel and his Redeemer, the Lord of hosts. I am the first and I am the last and beside me there is no God. Hallelujah. Now let me remind you of how I teach. What you're seeing is the scripture in King James version. So the bolded words are the words in scripture and then anything followed in parentheses that isn't in parenthesis in the scripture and I will note that if it is but there are additional words that those words could mean. So kind of giving you a broader perspective of the scripture so you get an indepth look at it. So now let me share a dream that I had that we're going to be discussing and dealing with here in um Isaiah as we look at false idols. So years ago I had this dream where I there was a like a a wall uh out in the wilderness in the desert and they were all different idols and they were like stacked next to each other and they were huge. They they were big and I'm on a bus. We're some distance away and we're driving. I'm a passenger in the bus. And as I'm looking back, I see one of these idols fall and it completely collapses and this sound starts coming toward us as we're running uh driving away in the bus and the um the ground shook. The the the rocks went everywhere of this idol. It it fell. It collapsed. And it collapsed hard cuz it was huge. It was so big. It was a It was an idol that was so big that it fell. And I'm telling the driver, you need to hurry up. So, we crossed this bridge. And of course, I wake up at that point. So, this dream is very interesting because it was a line of a wall of idols and one of them fell. Now I in my life and I am a walking testimony. I have overcome a lot of things in my life and what I teach now and what I pray and what I teach on prayer how to pray walking in Christ forgiveness and mercy. Most likely that dream impacted my life or it was showing me where I was going to end up going because I let go of some sort of false idol and I don't know what it was. All I know is that you can see it. It had face, had eyes, um mouth, nose, you know, it it was a like a visible thing. But the thing is is it was solid uh made out of the face of the the cliff and it was um you know, it was worthless. It was dead. There's no life in it, but it fell. And I was like, "All right, thank you, Lord." So, I share this because I want you to understand we're going to be talking about a a transformation that takes place in your life because once you know God, your life changes. And so, the purpose of this teaching is that in all scripture, and I mean all scripture, God makes a point that everything he does is to reveal himself to you and that you will know that he is God. And here's the thing is we need to know who is our God so that we're not deceived. I saw a video the other couple couple of different videos of people claiming to be Christ and it's getting a little more popular and um I one lady in particular she was saying you know if Christ was here he would say that abortion is okay and that you can be comforted and loved by him and she's talking as if she is Christ and she is uh impersonating Christ and that is false that is a deception because we know that Jesus is about life, not death. Abortion is about death. So, see, if you know who your God is, you know who your scripture is, you will see the false teaching and the the false ideology in there. Okay? So, I want you to see that. What we're going to do is we're going to get into Isaiah 44 here. So, I want you to go to Isaiah 44. We're going to start in verses four and five. And they shall spring up or sprout as among the grass as willows by the water courses. One shall say, "I am the Lord's," and another shall call himself by the name of Jacob, and another shall shall subscribe or write with his hand into unto the Lord and surname himself by the name of Israel. This is the he's identifying a future of false prophets through different methods. So, one is going to say, "I'm Christ himself." Another one's going to say, "Oh, well, I'm of the nationality of the Jews, and so I'm I'm the Messiah." One's going to say, "Hey, listen. I'm writing you this letter, and it's from God." And these are the things we have to be aware of. So, first, we have to know who God is. Who is our God? And the Bible tells us who he is, which means you need to be reading your Bible. There are people who don't want to read the Bible, but yet they want to know. Got to read the Bible. Well, it's not my cup of tea and I'm not a big reader. That's on you and you will be held accountable for those excuses. So, you have to get some self-control and sit down and say, "Okay, Lord, I don't really want to read this, but I'm going to read it anyways because I got to know." You see, once you do that, you move into his presence. So second, if we see anyone say or write anything that claims to be from God, we need to look and see if it's in the Bible. How are you going to know if it's in the Bible if you're not reading it? You see, you have to understand. So when somebody's prophesying something specific like such and such person will be president. I can tell you right now that's not in scripture because nowhere in the Bible does it prophesy other than like Cyrus back in his day. They prophesied Isaiah wrote about him two to 400 years earlier saying that he will be king. This is his name and that you're going to read the scripture to him. That was prophecy. That was a very specific prophecy. But I've not seen any prophecy come in and say, "Well, Trump will be president or Camala will be president." There's no scripture on that. And I've read the Bible through a handful of times. So, you're going to have to realize that. Now also if they're saying something it sounds really good, you have to look and see if it's in the Bible in context. What does the context around that scripture they're quoting or the the idea that they're quoting behind that? Important that you understand that because you're going to see that you need to know and recognize the false teachings and the ideology here. Okay, let's continue on. We're going to go to Isaiah uh verses uh it's we're still in chapter 44:es 6-8. Thus sayith the Lord King of Israel and his redeemer, the Lord of hosts. I love this. This is our opening scripture and notice what it says about redeemer to be the next of kin. You see Jesus was the word and the word became flesh. So he was already in spirit with God. He had to become the flesh to be the redeemer and he became the next of kin. That's very important because when we recognize who our Messiah is and when he says to Mary Magdalene on his way up to heaven with a whole bunch of souls and he says, "I'm going to my God, your God, my father, your father." He's saying to you, "You are the next of kin. You are a joint heir." This is mindblowing and it should just stop you in your tracks. I mean, the fact that he was he rose from the grave, he's on his way to his father. He tells Mary, "Don't touch me. I haven't ascended yet." He's got all these souls behind him. And he stops for us. You have to grasp the concept of who our redeemer is. See, once we know him and he it makes us salivate, thirst, hunger for him, makes us drive after him. Once we know him, it's so amazing that we can see what's going on and be aware. So, and his redeemer, the Lord of hosts, I am the first and I am the last, and beside me there is no God. And who is I shall call and shall declare it and set it in order for me since I appointed the ancient people. and the things are coming and shall come. Let them show unto them. Let's go to verse eight. Fear ye not. Fear ye not. Neither be afraid. Have not I told thee from that time and had declared it. Ye are even my witnesses. Is there a God beside me? Yeah, there is no God. I know not any. Look, he knows by observation and recognition because that's what that word means. Oh, this is so very very important. I want you to catch this. So, notice the distinction of what Isaiah said when he mentioned in verse six between the king of Israel and his redeemer. So, at the time Isaiah wrote this, Jesus had not been born yet. The role of Jesus was to be king and redeemer. We know in hindsight that Jesus came first as the redeemer and we know he's going to return second as king as you see in Revelation 191 11-21. Very important because see the Pharisees kept asking are you the king and and asking if he you know was the son of God and they had no faith. You see, God kept that hidden from them. One, to accomplish his goal, and two, so that they can walk in faith and become a believer. So, if Jesus straight out told you, I am the son of God, which by the way, he ended up doing, and he did it several times, they still didn't believe. They weren't going to believe. And Jesus knew this. Now, notice he's also calling himself as the first and the last, the beginning and the end, the alpha and omega. Where have we heard that? That's in Revelation 22:13. So Isaiah is talking about Jesus, the Messiah, the redeemer, who is coming. And he's saying there's no other God beside him. He said, "I've looked. I've observed. There's no one else. It's just me. I'm God." And he's not only declaring that he's the only God and that he's going to have a redeemer. He is prophesying it in Isaiah's time in the past so that those of us today can see and recognize who God is by declaring us witnesses today with the ancient people back then. Both generations are witnesses to it. And notice his observation as I've already stated, he doesn't know that there's any other God. I trust my God. There is no other God. Now we're going to go to Isaiah 49. Let's look at Isaiah 49. We're going to read verses 9- 11. They that make a graven image are all of them vanity, and their delectable things shall not profit, and they are their own witnesses. They see not, nor know that they may be ashamed. Who hath formed a god or moltant, a graven image that is profitable for nothing or failure of? Verse 11. Behold, all his fellows shall be ashamed, and the workmen they are of men. Let them all be gathered together. Let them stand up, yet they shall fear, and they shall be ashamed together. This is very important. As I mentioned in my dream, I saw these idols budded up against one another. Obviously, they were car carved out of the side of a cliff kind of like Mount Rushmore, but the difference is they were all next to each other. They all different faces, but this one particular one just dropped. It fell and it collapsed. And that is what's going to happen. Now, false idols is something um that we create in our minds or is even physical. We make a graven image out of it. Um, there was a point where the kings were drinking. Uh, I forget. I think it was Nebuchadnezzar. Anyways, I I'm going off the top of my head on this part. I wasn't planning on putting this in here, but he was drinking out of the the cups, the um the golden cups, and he was just so well pleased with him. And then the finger of God writes on the wall because he's bringing it down. And God says, you know, this is it. You're done for tonight. And he was killed that night. I don't think it was Nebuchadnezzar. Might have been his son. But anyways, whoever that was, it's there. You can go read it in um in the Bible. I don't think it's in Daniel. But anyways, you can find it. Just search uh for um gold cup, something like that, and you will find it. But this is what I'm talking about. See, when you know the scriptures, you know that persona. They're well pleased. They're drinking out of the cups from the temple. God's cup. These are things that were set aside for God by Israel. Israel made these and they're thinking they're so proud of themselves because they were overcomers, but the only reason God allowed them to overcome is because his people were sinning. So, in our minds, we create these images. Then, we also create them physically. Back in the day especially, you had these little idols that you would put in your home. Little goddess of Diana or any of those type of things. These are the things you took a look at the Paris Olympics here that we just recently experienced. They had a bowl in there, a golden calf. These are things that they brought up from the past. These are things that they should know better because they should know the scripture, but they don't know the scripture and they don't know God. So, Here's the thing is we expect these c certain images of what we think are good things. You know, I I remember a co-orker of mine would put a penny in the corner of her desk next to a frog or something something like that and she'd say, "Oh, this is for good luck. Think of a rabbit's foot. Somebody carrying a rabbit's foot." We expect these certain images of good things to bring us good things or good luck. No. Even the cross, if you you've got Jesus on the cross and you you're hanging him around your your neck, he's already risen. You should have a cross is empty because now you're declaring he's alive and he is off the cross. It is great to remember what he did on the cross because that's how we do holy communion. This we do in remembrance. See, if you know the scriptures, you will recognize who God is and how to deal with uh false teachings and the the things that are going on around the world. Now, I want to show you in scripture how much God says this throughout scripture is fascinating. When I did a word search on this um and the way the word search does it, it it groups these words together. So in other words, these are scriptures that compile with these words in it and it has usually the the the concept of what it's saying. So I am Lord or there is no other god. This kind of thing. It that phrase was 422 times and then I refined the phrase more and got down to 322 times in the Bible. So this phrase exist uh this this concept of there's no God, I'm God. And you will know that I'm God. That's the phrase, you will know that I'm God. That is in the Bible that many times. So, I want you to see this. We're going to go to Exodus 14:4. It's talking about Pharaoh. And I will harden Pharaoh's heart that he shall follow after them. And I will be honored upon and I will be honored upon Pharaoh up and upon all his host that the Egyptians may know that I am the Lord. And they did so. You see, the Egyptians followed so many gods. They had all these false gods. They had um frogs were their gods, flies, um snakes. They had all of these gods. And so all of those gods came back and were allowed to destroy Egypt by the Israelites coming out of the land of Egypt. And that was no small feat. I mean, we're talking this was a major thing, bringing out million plus people from Egypt into the wilderness. But God did it so that the Egyptians will know that he is Lord. That's incredible. You see, all those false gods they believed in were worthless. They were nothing. And they could not stop God. And they could not stand up against God. Oh, I hope you guys are seeing that there is a God. There is only one God. And we need to know who he is so that we can be prepared to not fall in the traps of deception that's coming our way that is already here. Let's read Isaiah 49:25 and 26. But thus sayith the Lord, even the captives and the mighty shall be taken away, and the prey of the terrible shall be delivered. For I will contend with him that contendeth with thee, and I will save thy children. And I will feed them that oppress thee with their own flesh, and they shall be drunken with their own blood, as with sweet wine, and all flesh shall know that I, the Lord, am thy savior and thy redeemer, the mighty one of Jacob. I hope you guys see this. You see, one of the things that Jesus did when he became redeemer is he set the captive free. Go to Daniel 9:24. It's like a list of all the things that Jesus did. And Jesus also read Isaiah in front of the Pharisees and the Sadducees saying this scripture is fulfilled today in your hearing. And it's about setting the captive free, the blind to see. So here, but I want you to also see what God did. He's saving his people because he sent his redeemer. That's Jesus. Now these people are drunken on their own blood. that is referring they're they're salivating. They are um they're so like I was mentioning that king drinking from the cup. They're so into their own selves and they're so satisfied. But that represents the blood of the lives that they killed for them to feel that way like I'm all powerful. They're drunken on that blood. Go to Revelation 17:6 in which the woman mystery Babylon is great drunk on the blood of the saints. So, and in Revelation and in this scripture here in Isaiah, everyone, all flesh will know that Jesus is the savior and the redeemer. Now, notice Jesus states this because he does what his father asks him. And if we know Jesus, we know the father. This is why he was telling the Pharisees, the Pharisees says, "What authority do you have to do this? Who is your father?" He says, "Well, if you knew me, you know my father." That's in John 8:19. That's just one of the scriptures. There's many more on that. Let's go to Ezekiel 39:28. And they, let's see. Then they shall know that I am the Lord their God, which caused them to be led into captivity among the heathen, but I have gathered them unto their own land, and have left none of them anymore there. Now, if you read Ezekiel 38 and39, you will find that uh this is prophecy has not happened yet. It's about the battle of Gog and Magog for the end times. This is going to trigger the day of the Lord. And again, here's God saying they will know he is Lord. Who are they? All flesh. So, he's been saying this throughout history. And then he's prophesying because it's going to be coming because this generation doesn't know who their God is. Remember, if you go back to Abraham and you look at Abraham's journey and you look at it through the book of Jasher, now the book of Jasher mimics the first several books of the Bible mostly, but it gives you a lot more insight as to what's going on. Yes, it's not in part of the cannon of the Bible, but it does add a little bit more. So, it's not for spiritual growth, but it is very interesting and there is some historical references in there. And the Bible does reference the book of Joshua. Well, one of the things it says about Abraham is that he went looking to find out who God is. He looked, he thought it was in the sun. Then the sun went down and he's like, "Well, no, I guess it can't be God. The moon." Same thing. And so then he heard the voice of God. Cuz see, he went to his father's house, tore down all those false idols. All of them. He He tore them down. His father was livid with him. Why'd you do that? All Abraham said, they couldn't defend themselves. They're not God. So Abraham got to hear the voice of God. And here we are joint hes with the promises given to Abraham. This is why we have to hear and know who our Lord is. Because all flesh will know. Every knee will bow. Every tongue confess that Jesus is Lord. It's going to happen. It's been prophesied. Jeremiah 24:7. And I will give them a heart to know which is ascertained by seeing me that I am the Lord, and they shall be my people, and I will be their God, for they shall return unto me with their whole heart. He's talking about the restoration of Israel. But at the same time, that's applying to us. This is incredible. You see, when we become a believer, our heart is transformed into a heart of intellect provided by God himself. Things change. This allows us to discern the things that are going on. We get to see the things that God wants us to see because he is our Lord and we are his people. We are having a relationship with him. Every time you open the Bible and you read it, you understand it. That's why there's no excuse. If you're making an excuse like, I just can't understand it. There are so many translations that exist that you can read the New International Version. It's not one I prefer and I don't use it. I use the King James version, but it will get you started in understanding it. When you finally want to delve into a deeper part of the scripture, then you can move on to learning Hebrew or Greek or going into the King James and doing literal word translations, which is what I do here in my teachings. This is allowing God to work in us because we're getting to know him in the relationship that we have with him because we are his people. Remember, we're joint hes. The moment that you confess as Romans 10:9 says, "Confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved." That mind changes immediately at that point. Now I want you to see something here's interesting. This is Isaiah 43 and5. This is talking about John the Baptist. The voice of him that crith in the wilderness. Prepare ye the way of the Lord. Make straight in the desert a highway for our God. Every valley shall be exalted and every mountain and hill shall be made low. And the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough places plain, and the glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh, there it is, shall see it together. For the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it. This was prophesied in Luke 3:4 and 4-6. Let's read that. As it is written in the book of the words of Isaiah, Isaias, the prophet, saying, the voice of one crying in the wilderness, prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his path straight. Every valley shall be filled. Every mountain shall and hill shall be brought low. And the crooked shall be made straight. And the rough ways shall be made smooth. And all flesh s shall see the salvation of God. I love that word salvation there means defender. And see is gaze. We can see and gaze on the defense that we have from our Christ. All flesh shall see the salvation of the Lord. And that's you and me. That includes you and me. So, have you confessed Jesus as your Lord and Savior? As Romans 10:9 says, says when we confess him, we become a believer and our heart changes. We begin to acknowledge that Jesus Christ is the son of God. And you see, that's how you test the spirit. That's how you know if someone's teaching from the word of God. I speak truth. I speak scripture. I'm not doing it out of context because Jesus is the son of God. He comes first. I'm not doing this for personal gain. I do this because I love you guys and I want you to understand what's going on. A lot of people ask, why does God do the things that he does? Part of it is so that you will know that he is God. He created all of this and decided to let it continue on. Remember, he did the flood. He brought in the flood, but he allowed eight people to survive, four couples, and three of them were able to repopulate the earth from the one couple. So, he allowed it. He decided, I'm going to let it go, and I'm going to send my son to die and redeem everyone. And so, his son now has a body. He is Jesus, the Messiah. The word became flesh. John 1:1. This is now who we serve, who we believe. And when you have your eyes on the word of God, you put the excuses aside and you say, "Okay, Lord, I'm going to get in your word. I'm going to study your word. I'm going to find out more about you." What's happening is you are avoiding uh you are protecting yourself from the deception of the world. So when there's a preacher that comes up behind the pulpit and says something to the effect like, "Well, Jesus would say this, is it in the Bible?" And if you find that that phrase is not in the Bible, that's a false teacher. That's a false teacher. You have to be able to designate what and who that person is. And then you can walk away. You can pray for them, forgive them, and ask the Holy Spirit to move in them because you never know. Maybe that's what it is. Is the Holy Spirit just needs to move in their life since they're wanting to be a teacher of the word of God. Maybe they'll be in there and they'll finally read it and know. And maybe they'll put their agenda aside because they obviously support abortion and they're trying to justify it through whatever scripture they can find by simply using the name of Jesus. He would say this. That's a false teaching, false ideology. And it is time that we pray for them. We forgive them and we give them to the Lord and ask the Lord to deal with them. And hopefully something clicks in their mind. Maybe the the delusion that they're under which is sent by God as Paul prophesied. If they're under that strong delusion, maybe he will reveal that off their eyes just so they can see a little bit and hopefully make the right choice. Now, I know how hard it is. You know, I I stand on the word of God. And when I hear somebody come in and teach a different way than what I'm used to, I criticize it big time. And sometimes I have to admit that was ingenious how you read that scripture, how you interpreted it, how it stood with you. That's how it works. But that's having that relationship with God is going to help me stand strong on his firm name, the foundation, the rock that I run to. He's my righteous tower. I run to him. And in that tower, in his word, I have a hedge of protection around me and my mind keeping me from the false ideologies, the false idols out there, helping me uh have the renewing and the transformation of my mind daily. That's where we need to be with Christ. Amen. Let's uh I want to close in a word of prayer. Let's close. Lord, Lord Jesus, we lift this word up to you. And I pray that we don't forget your word, that we apply your word, that we get into your word and put the excuses aside, that we get to know your word, so we can know who you are and recognize when there are false teachers and false um Christ out there, these antichrist, so that we can recognize what's going on and know where you're going and how your end is coming to be. Father God, you are mighty. You are amazing. You are God. You are the creator. And I thank you for revealing yourself to us. In the mighty name of Jesus, we pray. Amen. Amen. Amen. God bless you. And I will see you in the next message. Bye bye. Home Previous Next
- BEHOLD, THE LAMB OF GOD | House of Faith Ministries (HoFM)
BEHOLD, THE LAMB OF GOD The objective of this message is to help believers gain a deeper understanding of Jesus as the Lamb of God, whose sacrificial death fulfills the Old Testament foreshadowing of the Passover lamb. It seeks to strengthen faith in the power of His blood to redeem, protect, and deliver from destruction, while encouraging believers to walk daily in the assurance of His covenant and covering. BEHOLD, THE LAMB OF GOD Minister Lisa Kane January 19, 2025 Objective: The objective of this message is to help believers gain a deeper understanding of Jesus as the Lamb of God, whose sacrificial death fulfills the Old Testament foreshadowing of the Passover lamb. It seeks to strengthen faith in the power of His blood to redeem, protect, and deliver from destruction, while encouraging believers to walk daily in the assurance of His covenant and covering. Synopsis: This teaching explores the meaning and significance of John’s proclamation, “Behold the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world” (John 1:29). It explains how Jesus’ role as the sacrificial Lamb was foreshadowed in the Passover account of Exodus, where the blood of the lamb marked the homes of Israel for protection from the destroyer. The message draws connections between the Old Testament shadow and the New Testament fulfillment, showing how Jesus’ crucifixion, His shed blood, and the Last Supper instituted the new covenant. Just as the Israelites were preserved by the lamb’s blood on their doorposts, believers today are covered by the blood of Christ, which speaks a better word than Abel’s blood and causes destruction, curses, and judgment to pass over. Through the cross, Jesus fulfilled the law, redeemed humanity, and provided believers with protection, pardon, and victory. Communion is presented as a continual reminder of His sacrifice and covenant, sealing believers under His covering. The message closes with a call to humility, repentance, and faith, urging listeners to stand firm in Christ’s redeeming blood and look forward to His return—not only as the Lamb but also as the coming King. Inspired Teaching - Written and/or Transcribed from Video Above: Hello and welcome to the House of Faith Ministries. I'm Lisa Kane and I'm recording this message on Sunday, January 19th, 2025. Welcome. Glad you can join us. Let's open up in a word of prayer. Father God, we thank you for your word and we bless your word. Let your word not return void. And Father God, I pray that we have a better understanding of the blood of the lamb. That we have a better understanding of your hedge of protection around us. that we can walk and believe in the anointing of your word and know that you've got our back and that we can speak your word and that we can walk away from destruction. Thank you, Lord, for opening our minds to this and bringing up our level of faith. Thank you, Lord, in the name of Jesus. Amen. Amen. I'm very excited about this message. This is called Behold the Lamb of God. Let's go to our opening scripture here. John 1:29. The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him and say, "Behold the lamb of God which taketh away the sin of the world." Ah, he takes away the sin of the world. I love that. So, let's stop for a minute though and think about this for a moment because John knew something that the Israelites should have known and they didn't know. You see, John saw him as the lamb of God and said, "He's coming to take away the sin of the world." But all the Israelites, I think all of them if not most of them were expecting a king. And Jesus said, "No, no, no. He he came as the lamb of God, but he took he came as a king as well, but he took the kingdom off for a moment. Went to the cross and died as the lamb of God, shedding his blood and redeeming us, taking away the sin of the world, which is what John prophesied because it had to be done. So what is the lamb of God? What why did that happen first? Because you know Jesus is coming back a second time and he's coming as king and he didn't the first time which perplexed the Israelites. They don't understand it but God he explains it and Jesus explained it and he's showing us what he is as the lamb of God. So, let's look at who the lamb of God is and what he did did for us because when you get it, oh my goodness gracious, you you're just you're going to understand that the destroyer can never ever touch you. Oh, this is good. So, let's go to Exodus. Let's look at the Passover because the lamb of God is Passover. So, we're going to start here in Exodus 12 3 and 6. Speak ye unto the congregation. Speak ye unto all the congregation of Israel. God is talking to Moses. So, he's telling Moses saying, "In the 10th day of this month, they shall take to them every man a lamb according to the house of their fathers a lamb for a house." Now, uh he explains more. You can go read the whole chapter. I don't have the whole time to to read the chapter here, but I would like to encourage you to do it. He's going to tell you how much of a lamb you may need. You may have to share with your neighbor. Let's say you're only two people in one house, so you know, you can't eat an entire lamb, but you're going to have to eat it all. So the whole point of having this lamb is to eat it all. So go down to verse six. And ye shall keep it until the 14th day of the same month. And the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel shall kill it in the evening. Wait, wait, wait, wait. So you tell Moses, I want you all to take a lamb into your house. They bring a lamb into their house and that lamb is there for four days and then you have to kill it. which is Jesus came down to the earth and he was here for a while. We kept him on the earth. He was here. He kept himself here and then he had to be crucified. Killed. Well, the lamb is killed in each household. Now, the Now, remember, let's let's do a little overall hierarchy stuff here for just a moment. The Old Testament is a shadow of where Jesus was coming. man going and going to do what he was going to do. It shadowed it. It foretold us but a mystery. Whereas the New Testament reveals all the mystery. But the other part of this is that on the earth, everything on the earth is a shadow of everything in heaven. So like uh Moses had to create or uh yeah make create uh the ark of the covenant which has a mercy seat on it. Well, in the heavens there is an ark of the covenant. There's an arc and on there is the mercy seat. And by the way, the blood of Jesus is on that mercy seat. It's also on the one on earth. So this is they they're interacted with one another. So going back to look at the lamb of God, the lamb that the Israelites had to use to come out of Egypt. This is very important. So let's read a little bit more about uh what's going on and why God is setting up this Passover. Uh verse 7. And they shall take of the blood and strike it on the two sideposts and on the upper doorpost of the house houses wherein they shall eat it. And they shall eat the flesh in that night. Roast with fire and unleaven bread and with bitter herbs they shall eat it. So he's saying need you to kill the lamb. Then I want you to take its blood, put it on each of the sidepost. And then I want you to put it on the lentil. And then I want you to eat it all. So we have Jesus who went to the cross. you know, he he went to the cross and he he died. Um, and his body was broken and he was he bled and we take holy communion where we take the unleaven bread or a cracker and we break it. It's bruising. It's got discoloration on it when you bake it. So, it looks like it's bruised. And then you partake of that. You eat it symbolically. you drink of the wine which is the symbol of his blood. This is what he did with the um the last supper. So, and he did it before he went to the cross. So, he was showing him what needed to be done. Well, keep in mind they were shown this at the Passover. So, let's continue on here in verse 12. For I will pass through the land of Egypt this night. What's going on here? Because let's look at this. Now, if you read everything, the the Egyptians had 10 plagues against them. So, we're talking about the 10th plague, the nine plagues, the lice, the frogs, and so forth. You can go read about the plagues. The 10th plague, God is coming in to take the firstborn son of all the people and of all the land. So firstborn cow, male cow, he was taken. Um if he but God who says he's going to do all this, he said, "I need to protect you, Israel." So he's giving Israel some protection because God says, "My spirit is coming to destroy." He's going to take the firstborn. Why? Why does the firstborn need to be taken? Do you remember what Pharaoh did? He told the midwives to kill all the maleborn children of Israel because they thought they were getting too great because they were slaves and they couldn't control them any longer. And so now God decides to demonstrate his power by hardening Pharaoh's heart. And so he sent these 10 plagues and the 10th one was the killer. This was the one. But see, God has to send his destroyer to everyone. The law is for everyone. Not just for Jesus to fulfill it and for us to let it go. Okay, let's read these scriptures. Let's keep that in the back of our mind as we read these scriptures. I really want you to get this. For I will pass through the land of Egypt this night and will smite all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man and beast. and against all the gods of Egypt, I will execute judgment. I am the Lord, and the blood shall be to you for a token upon the houses where ye are. And when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and the plague shall not be upon you to destroy you when I smite the land of Egypt." Okay? Want you to get this. So he's telling them, "Put the blood on your doorpost and on the lentil and you go inside your home. You stay there." So during the night, the spirit of the Lord, spirit of destruction, the destroyer comes and he takes all the firstborn sons that were in a home or out in the field that were not covered or in the doorway of the blood. Okay, let's look a little further about this because I want you to get it. In um Luke says, "Now the feast of unleven bread drew nigh which is called the Passover." So when God passed over these houses, his spirit passed over the houses, it became a feast, a celebration that they needed to celebrate. So the Israelites, they have the blood covering over them every year by putting the blood on their post and on their lentil. And the spirit of God passes over them. So Jesus is the lamb of God. He's the lamb that had to be killed. It was in their feast. But you know, remember the Old Testament is a mystery. So they didn't understand what was going on. So as Jesus came and he had the last supper with his disciples, he's the Passover. So he's becoming the Passover. Let's take a look at that last supper a little bit more. 22 Luke 22:es 1 and 2 and then verse 7. Now the feast of unleven bread drew nigh, which is called the Passover, and the chief priests and scribes sought how they might kill him, for they feared the people. Then came the day of unleven bread when the Passover must be killed. So Jesus is going to be killed on Passover because he is the Passover lamb. And keep in mind uh Caiaphas, he's the one who kind of prophesied we need to kill the one before it ruins the many. So this is if you go read all of that that's in John, you'll be able to see all the manipulation, everything that's going on, but not just like by the Pharisees and the priests, but by Jesus, too. He's manipulating the whole thing to make certain he gets to that cross. That was his agenda. You see, he came, yes, as a king, but he had to lay down his kingdom and stand up as the lamb of God and take away the sin of the world first, which is what he did. Luke 22:14. And when the hour was come, he sat down and the twel apostles with him. And he said unto them, with desire, I have desired to eat the Passover with you before I suffer. For I say unto you, I will not anymore eat thereof until it be fulfilled in the kingdom of God. And he took the cup and gave thanks and said, Take this and divide it among yourselves. For I say unto you, I will not drink of the fruit of the vine until the kingdom of God shall come. And he took bread and gave thanks and broke it and gave unto them saying this is my body which is given for you this do in remembrance of me. This or likewise also the cup after supper saying this cup is the new testament in my blood which is shed for you. Now we know that he just had holy communion with his disciples the last supper. So he says, "Break this is my body." And then he says, "Drink this is my blood." Now we know he got to the cross. We know he was crucified. He um had a crown of thorns placed on his head. He was scorged or whi whipped in his back, 39 lashes I believe it is, and he was torn up in his back. Uh they had nailed his hands and his feet to the cross, and he bled from those areas. But and and the whole point of the cross, by the way, is suffocation at its crulest, if you ask me. But basically, when they pin your feet down, there's a little um shelf for you to be able to push yourself up because when you are on the cross and you let you loosen your muscles, it compresses the lungs. You can't breathe. So, in order to breathe, you had to push yourself up, take a breath, and then collapse. And it got harder and harder because every time you push yourself up on a broken heel, bruised heel. If you go look at the curses against the Satan in Genesis, you will see that Jesus heel was bruised. Well, when he pushes himself up on that bruised heel that's hurting, it's in he's in pain. He's in a lot of pain. He has to take his breath in that pain and then come down. Now, what's going on in his body is a whole lot of things. He's suffocating, which his heart is working twice as fast, if not quadruple fast. You know, it's moving to try to get enough oxygen to the brain to keep the brain alive. So, the rest of the body starts shutting down. And it got to the point where the the um heart is pumping so fast, so hard that the water and the blood separate. So when the centurion came because they could not have people uh on the cross for Passover, he broke the legs of the two thieves and then he stabbed Jesus because he it looked like Jesus was already dead. So he is just going to make certain. So he stabs him in his side and blood and water flowed. And when that blood hit the ground, it shook the ground. And with that cross standing there, it split the ground. That blood went down into the ground and it landed on the mercy seat. The uh ark of the covenant on the earth is hidden underneath that cross and the mercy seat landed there. It was also placed on the mercy seat in heaven. And Jesus took away the sin of the world. Now what does that mean? What where does this go? Because I want you to see something here that I think is powerful. Let's read the next scripture first. Says Hebrews 4:12:24, "And to Jesus the mediator." He's the go-between of the new covenant contract and to the blood of sprinkling that speaketh better things than that of Abel. Abel is the when you are killed, your blood is on the ground and it is calling out to God for revenge. Avenge me. Avenge me. Well, that avenging needs to be met. So, God hears that. We don't, but he does. So here, he had to come and now shed his own blood. So what does this do? You see, God has his law. He can't take the law back. The law is the law, and someone had to meet that law. Well, no, none of us could. You can try as hard as you can to follow the Ten Commandments. I'm going tell you right now, you're going to fail. The Ten Commandments tells us we're failures. But Jesus says, "I'm not a failure. I'll fulfill it." And here's what he did. So when he, the lamb, the lamb of God, got up on the cross and shed his blood, he said, "I want you to put my blood on the post of your door of your heart and on the lentil of your heart. and I'm going to pass over you when it comes to judgment for sin. That's what the lamb of God is. We have the blood of the lamb over us. Now, how does this work? Let's let's look at this. remember uh Rahab and um the walls of Jericho coming down. Remember what the spies told her to do? Put a scarlet red thread out your window. And see when the Israelites, the priest, and they sh they blew the trumpet and they shouted and the walls came tumbling down. The only wall that did not come tumbling down was Rahab. And she had her whole father's household in there with her. They survived and they were able to come out cuz there's a spirit of destruction that went against the walls of Jericho and those walls had to fall. But because that destroying spirit had to go hit all the walls, the destroying spirit knows that if it sees the blood, it sees the red, it has to pass over. It's required by God because that's how the rule is set up. The rule is set up that if I deserve death against me because maybe I killed somebody and that death is supposed to come against me because it's a curse. It comes back at you. A lot of people don't understand the curses. But when that curse comes back at you, if you have the blood of Jesus over your heart, it has to pass over you because that is what the new covenant, the new contract is all about. So when we partake of holy communion and we take that bread and we re we do this in remembrance of what Jesus did on the cross. We're remembering him on the cross. We're seeing him on the cross. We're remembering everything he went to. That tells us he's going to pass over us. That's what holy communion is about. That's what the lamb of God is. This is what he had to do first. And this is a good thing because I'm going to tell you right now, there's so many curses that are coming against us. We are living in a land of sin. We are vexed by what's going on out here. But all those consequences have to pass over us because we have the blood of the lamb on us. Oh, this is awesome. Hebrews 10:12-17. But this man, after he offered one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down on the right hand of God, from henceforth, expecting till his enemies be made his foottool. For by one offering he hath perfected forever them that are sanctified, or to made made holy, made holy. We are made holy because of his one sacrifice. Continuing on in verse 15, whereof the Holy Ghost also is a witness to us. For after that he had said before, this is the covenant contract that I will make with them after those days, sayeth the Lord. I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them, and their sins or offense, and iniquities or illegality will I remember no more. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. He is the lamb of God and he passes over us and he doesn't remember our sins and illegalities anymore. We are legal. You see the blood of the lamb had to fulfill the law. So it had to go on the post had to go on the lentil of that gateway so that when the destruction was coming, woo, that destruction stopped and says there's blood here. I can't go that way. I have to pass over. Meaning, you cannot be destroyed. The gates of hell shall not prevail against the church. You are the church. By the way, your body is the temple of God. So now when you take holy communion, your heart's post has the blood on the left and the right and on the lentil and nothing can come against you. Nothing can break through. It has to pass over because these are God's destructions. God is the He's the spirit of the Lord is the Lord that comes in. The spirit that comes in to destroy. He's gonna destroy. He goes after, but you have protection against that because he says, "I give you my son and I give his blood to redeem you, to pardon you, to free you. You are covered with that blood and you do not have any more destruction against you." What is destruction? What is destroying? Cancer kills. Sickness kills. financial issues kill. But God says, "I will pass over you because behold the lamb of God. Jesus our redeemer came and he shed his blood for us, for you and me. He is the lamb of God. He fulfilled the law. He gave us a way out. He pardoned us. He redeemed us. Does this mean I go on continuing to sin? I do my best to stop. But I'm in the flesh. But here's the thing that I can take from this. When I know that the destroyer can't mess with me, that means I can't die from that. I love it when Paul says, "Oh, death or death were interesting." Which he's quoting the Old Testament. And I don't remember who he's quoting, but you can go look that up. When he says that, that's the most powerful thing because now we come to the realization as a believer in Christ, this stuff can't get me. Remember, what's on the earth is a shadow of what's in heaven. So when Jesus says, "I give you the keys to the kingdom of heaven. Whatever you bind on earth is bound in heaven. Whatever you loose on earth is loose in heaven." The two work together. And in the heaven, the blood of the redeemer of the lamb of God is already on the mercy seat. And that blood is over you, causing the destroyer to pass over you. You no longer have to deal with the corrupt. In fact, you can wake up every morning. His mercies are new every morning. And you can stand there and says, you know what? I'm going to have a great day. And I'm going to have this great day because the Lord has provided it. He's already blessed today. I'm on his side and he's got his covering protecting me. So, whoever's talking behind your back about you or who's ever trying to bring you down or who's ever trying to attack you mentally, physically, whatever the situation may be, guess what? You get to look up and say, "Behold the lamb of God. Jesus is my Lord and Savior. Jesus is the son of God. Jesus's blood is on the doorpost and the lentil of me. So I am inside the house because I'm a temple of God. I'm on the inside of the house and the doors are covered with the blood of Jesus and no destroyer. Nothing can get me. Nothing can touch me. I hope you get this. And if things happen, they're happening now for a reason. Meaning God is up to something with you. He's talking to you. He's trying to get your attention. And whatever the situation may be that you're dealing with, the first thing always, always, always the first thing, humble yourself before the Lord. Go before him and say, "I'm sorry. I messed up." You see, once you do that, that's where that destroyer has to back off. the attack has to back up. You know what? I had CO I had CO uh at Christmas time at the end of that year. And I remember I put up a Christmas tree and I the Lord clearly told me not to do it and I did it anyways. And uh I I was sick as a dog. I mean I was I was sick and those three days I and I was praying and humbling. Okay, let me just simply say I was praying and I couldn't really cry too hard because I couldn't breathe. That was my issue. I couldn't breathe. I don't know. I I I'm just like, Lord, you know, I I'm having to trust in you on this. I need you, but if you're going to take me, don't let me suffer. Just take me and send me home. And there I am repenting, humbling myself because that's what we're supposed to do. That's what the scriptures tells. I want you to come back. He says, "Come back. come back. So 3 days in and I remember I don't remember was that evening or the next morning but I think it was that evening I all of a sudden I was like breathing fine and it was almost like instantaneous and it was even weirder because it felt like in my lungs like I couldn't um get to because I was shallow breathing those three days. I couldn't breathe any it was like a there was a a barrier there. I couldn't get past this barrier. But three days, all of a sudden, I can get past this barrier. And then, of course, you have to retrain your lungs to get back to breathing. So, I was having to breathe deep, was taking that inhaler, try to get the medicine down into the bottom of my lungs, but I was it it it almost cleared up instantly. I was like, "Wow, thank you, Lord." And my life has changed drastically since then. You know, I am definitely being obedient to the word of God. And I was like, "Okay, Lord, you want me to be this way? I want to be this way too. He wants to bless me. I want his blessings. You see, I know that he is my creator. I know that he has made a way for me to come out of the consequences because I'm going to tell you right now, we were born and conceived in sin. So, I know that Jesus took care of that and it was a free gift. So now I get to come before him and humble myself before him and say thank you. And that's what I do. He's my redeemer. He's the lamb of God first. Now he's coming back as king. And boy, do I look forward to that day. I don't look forward to what's going to happen in between. But the end result is that God has a plan. And that end plan is drastic. So eventually all of us are going to end up on the other side. So the question is where do you want to end up on the other side? You want to end up in the presence of God in heaven or do you want to end up in hell? Do you want to blame all this on him and just you know it's his fault. That's between you and God. You have the right to do that if you want. You're angry with him. You hate him or whatever. You go talk to him. He wants to hear from you. But have an open mind when you find out the truth and you realize the truth and that he is your lord over your heart and so that your gate, your body is covered by the blood of Jesus. Make sure you take your holy communion too. Amen. Let's close in a word of prayer. Father God, we thank you for your word and we bless your word. Thank you. Your word will not return void. You are holy. You are the son of God. You're king of kings. You are lord of lords. And you have fulfilled your duty. Your father asked you to do. And it is such a simple matter. Your will is for us to believe. All we need to do is believe. And I believe. I believe that you are the son of God. I believe that you are my redeemer. and I believe that you're going to raise me from the dead when my turn comes. I believe in you and I look forward to meeting you face to face. In the name of Jesus, we pray. Amen. Amen. God bless you. I will see you in the next message. Bye-bye. Home Previous Next
