THE MESSIAH AND THE KING To reveal the prophetic fulfillment of Jesus Christ as both Messiah and King, showing how His birth, life, crucifixion, resurrection, and promised return all align with Scripture. The message seeks to help believers understand the dual role of Christ—first as the humble Redeemer born in the flesh, and later as the victorious King returning in glory. It calls listeners to recognize the good news of salvation and to prepare their hearts for His return. < Back THE MESSIAH AND THE KING Minister Lisa Kane December 11, 2022 Objective: To reveal the prophetic fulfillment of Jesus Christ as both Messiah and King, showing how His birth, life, crucifixion, resurrection, and promised return all align with Scripture. The message seeks to help believers understand the dual role of Christ—first as the humble Redeemer born in the flesh, and later as the victorious King returning in glory. It calls listeners to recognize the good news of salvation and to prepare their hearts for His return. Synopsis: In this message, Lisa Kane presents a rich teaching on the prophetic foundations of Christ’s coming, beginning with Balaam’s prophecy in Numbers 24:17 that foretells a star rising out of Jacob and a scepter out of Israel. This imagery points to both the human birth of the Messiah and His divine kingship. The fulfillment is traced through the appearance of the star of Bethlehem, the wise men’s search, and prophecies from Daniel, Jacob’s blessings over his sons, and Micah’s foretelling of the Messiah’s birth in Bethlehem. Lisa explains that Israel largely missed the Messiah because they expected a ruling king, not a suffering Redeemer. Yet Christ willingly laid down His authority as the Lion of Judah, went to the cross, and fulfilled the law through His sacrificial death. His crucifixion tore the temple veil, giving direct access to God, and His blood fulfilled the priestly requirement on the mercy seat, redeeming humanity by grace alone. The message then turns to the hope of Christ’s return. Prophecies in Revelation describe His coming on a white horse as King of Kings and Lord of Lords, accompanied by the armies of heaven. While believers now live under grace, Lisa warns of the coming seven-year tribulation reserved for Israel and unbelievers, urging listeners to repent and receive salvation today. The teaching closes with the reminder that Christmas is not merely about exchanging gifts, but about celebrating the birth of the Savior who came to redeem the world. It points to the joy of His resurrection and the certainty of His return as the reigning King. Inspired Teaching: Hello and welcome to the House of Faith Ministries. I'm Lisa Kane. I'm recording this on Sunday, December 11th, 2022. And this message is called the Messiah and the King. Let's open up in a word of prayer. Father God, we bless this message and we thank you for your blessing. We thank you for the good news of the birth of Christ and the good news of his crucifixion. As sad as it it may be, it is what was needed and the excellent news of his return on a white horse. Oh, Father God, thank you. Thank you. Thank you for sending your son to redeem us. In the name of Jesus, we pray. Amen. This is a good message. We are going to be talking about the good news, the gospel right here, right in two weeks before Christmas. This is awesome. Here we go. Let's go to our opening scripture here. We're going to be starting in Numbers of all places. Numbers 24:17. I see him, but not now. I behold him, but not near. A star shall come out of Jacob. A scepter shall rise out of Israel and batter the brow of Moab and destroy all the sons of Tamalt. Okay, let me lay a little bit of groundwork here. The guy who's speaking this prophecy is a guy named Balam. He's hired by the king of Moab called Balak. Now, Balak's scared and he's like, "Here comes the nation of Israel. They're encamping basically around him, but they're at peace." You know, the Israelites have been coming more and more into the prom uh the promised land. They came out of the wilderness, but they've been conquering. And so this guy, they had a reputation that was preceding them. So this king gets scared. So he hires this guy, this prophet Balam, to place a curse on the Israelites. And he's like, I can't do it. I have to do what the Holy Spirit tell the word of God tells me. God tells me. He's a prophet. He's hearing the word from God. And he's speaking prophecy. So this is his fourth prophecy. And because there's scripture in there that tells you because he was following the word of God at this moment in his life and you can go check him out. He's an interesting prophet, but uh he's had his ups and downs. I'll put it that way. But anyways, here he is following the Lord gives him this prophecy. Now, I want you to see something here. Look at this prophet. It's powerful. And and this is perfect right here for Christmas. Okay? I want you to see this. A star shall come out of Jacob. Now notice it uses Jacob's name, his original born name. Now remember Jacob's name changed to Israel. He is the father of the 12 sons who become the 12 tribes of Israel. So he is the father. His name was Jacob and it changed to Israel. So now as a man before becoming a nation. So you see the difference here. He says a star shall come out of Jacob. meaning a star. It's going to come out of the man, the the the the worldly man, human man lineage. So now a male child is going to come out and he's going to have a star that is going to come out of him. Now that star, we know the wise men of the east found it. We're going to get into that a little bit more. Watch this. A scepter shall rise out of Israel. So now you also know that he's going to be king. So you've got two roles from the same person. But notice the name is now Israel, the nation of Israel, and it is now a spiritual thing because it is of God. So now you've got a clue here where you've got the king coming as a spiritual being and the son, a male child being born as a human being, male. Now, isn't that just cool? So, this is tucked in there. And and you got to read into it to get it. Now, did the wise men know this? I don't know. But what I do know is that they did find him. Let's go look at Matthew real quick. Let's discuss this. Matthew 2 1-2. Now, after Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea, in the days of Herod the king, behold, wise men from the east came to Jerusalem, saying, "Where is he who has been born king of the Jews? For we have seen his star in the east and have come to worship him. So, lots of questions here. Where do these wise men come from? So, I'm going to I I need to lay some groundwork here, okay? And I need you to to have an open mind here. It is possible that these guys come through Daniel and Daniel was placed head over the wise men of Babylon who were are the wise men from the east. So it is potentially because Daniel had such prophecies given to him for the future of the nation of Israel and the the return of Messiah when he'd be cut off and all that kind of good stuff. You will see that it is highly potential that he started the school and it just passed down because then all of a sudden these wise men find it. Now, you also know that there are heavenly signs that the scripture tells us to look for that tells us about the gospel and the good news. They're throughout scripture. Now, if I went into all of them, we'd be here forever. So, I cannot do that. Again, I encourage this is the time you're about to celebrate Christmas, the birth of our Messiah. Now, whether he was born on this day, when he was born, he was born, okay? And that's what counts. And this is the time where you're going to celebrate and you're going to exchange gifts. Well, this is the time to remember the good news of why he was born. He came as a man to redeem us. That is the most important thing. And he came with heavenly signs and all kinds of prophecies. So, to let you know a little bit more about these heavenly signs, let me give you a little background. And I'm going to go back to an older one that's not mentioned in the Bible, but it's mentioned in the book of Jasher. Now, the book of Joshua parallels Genesis quite a bit. It wasn't put in the Bible for whatever reason. Maybe because it it it it almost repeats itself. Maybe. I don't know. Don't know the reasoning behind it. Again, what we have in the physical Bible right now is the spiritual connotation of our spiritual growth. But these extra books here do provide um some historical context. And I like this particular one. And I it's been validated. This is a legitimate book. This is not a that's another thing is you have to be very careful if these things are um when they're written and the timing. You got to really look into this. But I do trust the book a jasher uh enough to know that when you look at the birth of Abram who becomes the father of many and nations, Abraham, you find that he had a very interesting birthday and there was a huge heavenly sign at his time. Now he was born when Nimrod was king and his father Tran or Terra he had been he was chief over the armies of Nimrod. So they the wise men came over to Tron's house and I I think I'm butchering his name but anyways they come over they're celebrating. He had a male child. His name is Abram. And as soon as they're done with the celebration, they walk out. They see like a shooting star or um a comet or an asteroid meteorite, something real fast. Eat at four stars is how they look at it. So some sort of celestial event that takes place. You can go look that up. Look it up in the book of Jasher. Just do search. I I did search the word star and that's how I found it. But you want to read about the birth of Abram. That is very interesting. So they knew as soon as they saw that that he would be the father of many nations and that a king would come out of his line. You want to talk about how upset Nimrod was? He ordered to because now his wise men went to him and says listen if we don't tell Nimrod this and he finds out he's going to kill us. We have to tell him because we want to live here. So they tell him. So they you know there there's a whole story there. You can see what Nimrod does in it. And Tron ends up getting um another child that was born the same day as Abram from one of his maid servants. And he gives that child and Iran kills that child. So Abram takes his the mother and Abram the son and they end up living in a cave for 10 years. And by the way, Abram was raised by Noah and Shem. And so now you understand how come Abram starts looking for God and then God takes him out of the land of the Calaldanss out of and brings him into what would end up being the the holy land for the nation of Israel. So a land filling flowing with milk and honey. So you can see this was all prophesied that was done there for them. So the same principle applies today for the star of Bethlehem. Now, I I'm not an astronomer and I'm not very good at that kind of stuff. So, I'm going to give you a reference point to check out. Check this out. There's a documentary called The Star Bethlehem. It was written uh pres uh I guess published in 2007. And uh here's the website for it. It's presented by a guy named Rick Larson. I highly recommend you watch it. You can uh buy it, rent it. Um and it's on YouTube if you search it. Anyways, get in there and check it out. He explains what Jupiter does coming in with Regulus, the star, coming in with Venus, brightens up and shows itself a lot lighter, and then goes into retrograde, which makes it looks like it stopped and made it look like it went backwards. And so, the men of the east saw this and and he explains how they could see it. By the way, when they go to talk to Herod and they set off a whole set of events here, Herod gets he feels threatened. So, he goes he he wants the wise men to come back and tell him where the child was born. He they never do the the either I don't remember it's an angel or um a dream, but they were told to get out of there and they did. So, they did not go back to Herod. But Herod went in, sent his men again like what Nimrod did. He wanted to kill the baby. Herod tried to kill every child, every male child under the age of two under at that time. So now they set off these series of events which means also the nation of see these wise men figured the king who is king of that land which meant he was king of Israel at that time because Israel was living there. He should have known about the star and he didn't. and these wise men are trying to figure out. So they set off this event and the nation of Israel missed it. And and and the worst part of all of this is that the nation of Israel didn't and even the wise men, did you see what the wise men said when they showed up? Look at this. Matthew 2 1-2. It says, "Where is he who has been born king of the Jews?" Now, you saw my opening scripture where he was going to become a man and then come back spiritually as a king. They missed it. They didn't realize. So, he had two roles to fulfill here and they put him all into one thinking he's going to be king. The nation of Israel, you know why they rejected uh Jesus Christ as the son of God, as their Messiah? Because they didn't fit the profile they thought of him. He should have been king and he wasn't because he couldn't be king yet. Now he will come back as king but he's not king yet. So this is very interesting. So I want you to see now another prophecy of old that is in the past and uh over the birth of Christ here and what he's coming because now it's not just this one prophecy by Balam that did this. There's a whole lot of prophecies here but I want to show you this one. This is now Jacob blessing his sons. So let's put it in context first. So we're going to look at Genesis 49:es 1-2. And Jacob called his sons and said, "Gather together that I may tell you what shall befall you in the last days." So now he's prophesying. And notice he says, "Gather together and hear you sons of Jacob and listen to Israel your father." He's talking as the man and he's talking as God. So he's prophesying. So now what we're going to do is we're going to skip to verse eight because we're going to just talk about Judah here. Not all the prophecies of all the sons. Again, you can go read that. It's very fascinating. So verse eight, Judah, you are he whom your brothers shall praise. The term Judah means praise. And we do praise our Lord Jesus. Amen. And Jesus comes out of Judah. Says, your hand shall be on the neck of your enemies. Your father's children shall bow down before you. Judah is a lion's welp. From the prey, my son, you have gone up. He bows down. He lies down as a lion. And as a lion, who shall rouse him? Before I continue on, I want you to understand something here. See that Jesus, a lion's welp, he has the authority of a lion. He can be the And by the way, he's he was 33 years old when he did this. So he was very young. Lion's well, very young. And as he go, he went and lied his life dead. laid his life down at the cross with every authority that he could have walked away from it if he wanted to, but he didn't. Hallelujah. This is our Messiah. He laid down his authority, his life. He says, "No, I got Lisa in the future. I'm going to be seeing her. She's going to be praising and worship me. I got to go save her." You see how what Jesus did as a man born a male child and then crucified as a man to redeem us as the son of God because he fulfilled the law. Let's continue on with the prophecy here. Now he says the scepter shall not depart from Judah. So even though he laid his authority down, it wasn't leaving him. So you see, Israel should have known. They should have seen that he was going to come as a man first and then as king because now you're seeing him lay down the authority. But now they're saying, you know, he's not going to lose it. He ain't let it go. Uh nor lawgiver from between his feet until Shiloh comes, and to him shall be the obedience of the people, binding his donkey to the vine, and his donkeyy's cold to the choice wine. He washed his garments in wine and his clothes in the blood of grapes. His eyes are darker than wine and his teeth whiter than milk. He came in on a cult. Remember Palm Sunday? And they got the palms that they're laying down and he's walk riding on a a cult. You can see the prophecy here. Him as a man laying down his authority to go get crucified. This the nation of Israel should have known. So here I've been talking about when Daniel had taught them when they would know when Messiah would be cut off, but they didn't fit the image because they only saw one part of the prophecy. They were only seeing him as a king and not as the redeemer, as the Messiah, as the son of God. Oh, let's go on. Look here in Matthew 25-6. they said to him. And now when this is going back to the wise men talking to King Herod because now they're going to try to find out where he came from. So again, this goes back to the knowledge that they had. Remember the wise men are approaching the king because they think he should know everything. So and the Israelites are there. His wise men are there. Watch this. They're having this conversation about finding the male child. Watch this says, "So they said to him, so the question had come up was, well, where is he? Where, you know, they want to know. Obviously, Herod had a motive for wanting to know, but the wise men wanted to know because and so the the Israelites, the Pharisees and Sadducees, the wise men of that area are now answering. They said, "Well, this is uh" he says, "In Bethlehem of Judea, for this is written by the prophet, but you Bethlehem in the land of Judah are not the least among the rulers of Judah. for out of you shall come a ruler who will shepherd my people. Again, they went to the kingship. And notice they find this specific uh prophecy by Micah. Let's go to Micah because I want you to see the the scripture here. Micah 5:2 says, "But you Bethlehem Ephere tha though you are little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of you shall come forth to me the one to be ruler in Israel whose goings forth are from of old from everlasting." So they just targeted him in Bethlehem and they told Herod Bethlehem. They they knew that he would be coming. He would be born in Bethlehem. And he was he was born in Bethlehem. They did. The wise men found him, but they found them already in their home. They did. You know, I mistaught in the last couple of messages that I taught because I said he found him lying uh wrapped in swaddling clothes lying in manger. Something you're taught by Christmas pageantss. You got to be careful with Christmas. Go to the scripture. don't get caught up in the stories that fit the scene because they want to fit the wise men in with the the shepherds and the angels singing. You got to go back to the scriptures and see it. And I fell for that hook, line, and sinker. And I humbly apologize. So now going back to scripture, you find that they found him in his home. So anywhere between 3 months old to two years old, they find him and they give him gold, frankincense, and myrr and they worship him. But they found him because of the star doing what it was doing in that time frame. Go read that or watch that documentary. He explains all that. It's fascinating. But that is how they found the Messiah, the son of God, born as a man, born as a male child. That is awesome. And that is very good news. This is why we celebrate Christmas. Amen. Now though, he had a purpose. He lived for 33 years. And the last three years of life his life he was in ministry and he you saw the prophecies he laid down his authority as a lion of the tribe of Judah and he went and got crucified. Now let's go look at the crucifixion real quick. So I want you to see something here. It's very powerful. Matthew 24:50-54. And Jesus cried out again with a loud voice and yielded up his spirit. Then behold the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. Pause. You got to see this. The veil is like a thick piece of carpet and it kept the Holy of Holies. It kept people from going in there because God was in there and man, flesh, woman, we cannot get into the Holy of Holies as this. We can't. So they had to put this veil up and they made it thick. So thick. So when Jesus now see they rejected Jesus as the son of God when they rejected him because they were expecting a ruler. This guy wasn't a ruler. In fact he was being crucified and it was embarrassing because it was like being a worm on the cross in his loin cloth. Embarrassing. This cannot be our Messiah. This can't be the son of God. So they rejected him. And the moment he gave up his spirit, that veil was torn into allowing now he tore the representation that the nation of Israel had of God. He tore it out of their hands and said, "Here, I put it on myself, Jesus Christ, because I am the son of God. And now I take it on myself and I will represent myself to the world and let the world know you can come direct to me. You don't have to go through the Holy of Holies. Oh, can you imagine the priest who saw that and discovered it? Or even if there were priests working around that area and heard it fall, the idea of looking in there, seeing that fall, and thinking you're about to die because now the Holy of Holies just came out. You could just imagine the look on their face, the fear turning pale white. Oh my goodness gracious, what an event. You have to look at that and see for what it is. But there's more. I want you to see this. This is awesome. Says, "And the earthquake and the rocks were split." Okay? Jesus had a purpose because he's redeeming us with his blood. And I want you so let's I'm going to come back to this part here. Let's finish reading the scriptures. And the graves were open and many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised. and coming out of the graves after his resurrection, they went into the holy city and appeared to many. So when the centurion and those with him who were guarding Jesus saw the earthquake and the things that had happened, they feared God greatly, saying, "Truly, this was the son of God." There's a lot that happened there. Okay, so it come out of the graves, by the way. And you got to understand this pe this is peacemeal into a moment but it it happens over the three days because Jesus is in the grave for three days and then he comes out of it. But these events so they see it. So this centurion by the way uh so he he acknowledges that he's the son of god and he realizes he just crucified the son of god. Do you even hear about a centurion going and committing suicide? No. You know why? Because he heard the teachings of what happened. He heard from Peter and the disciples of that time telling him this had to happen. He warned us this would happen. And now he is our Messiah. He's the redeemer. His blood redeemed us. But that centurion saw that blood go down and he got the whole thing put together and he believed. Now I want you to see what happened here. He says the earthquake and the rock split. Well, what took place here? Go to Ron Wyatt's ministry. Go check out his website. He found the ark of the covenant. Now he's gone on to be with the Lord. He's rested in peace with the heavenly father right now. But he finds this cave down there. He actually faints when he finds it. You can go read about his story. He's got video. Um but he he finds it and the angels help him and he gets blood off the mercy seat. But it's right under the cross. So when the rock split, the blood that came out from what the centurion stabbed him with, blood and water, it flowed and hit the ground, shaking it, splitting the rocks. and the blood lands right on the mercy seat. He fulfilled the law. He didn't He didn't rebuke it. He didn't stop it. He didn't end it. He fulfilled it. And then he said, "I give you grace. Just ask me. You don't have to do anything to be redeemed. You are saved by grace and grace alone because I forgive you of your sins." And that is what the blood on the mercy seat did. And Ron White had that blood tested. And these people, different agencies said, "Where did you get this blood? It was missing the male part." And it was perfect and it was still alive. Oh, and if you guys don't believe that, even if you don't believe that, you can believe that maybe an angel was there and he poured it on there, but that blood had to go on the mercy seat of the ark of the covenant. And it did. Hallelujah. And you could see even the centurion realize this is the son of god. So now you see him uh fulfill the priestly duty as the son of god as a male as a man a human man who went to the cross. He completed everything. And here's the best part. Remember Jesus is the embodiment of the words let there be light. He's the power of the new. He had wrote the scriptures from the beginning, working with Daniel, working with Jeremiah, working with Isaiah. He's been there from the beginning, giving them the right words to say, how to put it down, how to write it. He gave that to them. So when he was there, he knew, I got to fulfill what I had written here. I got to do this. I got He fulfilled prophecy. He fulfilled first being the man. And he did it as the son of God, holy, perfect, no sin on him. But he took the sin from each and every one of us. Took it on him and he took it with grace and he went to the cross and gave up his spirit. Laid down his authority. Remember how the devil tempted him. I can give you all. First of all, Jesus already had all that authority. But he laid it down at the cross. Says, I'll come back to get you. And we're going to talk about him returning as king. But he says, I'll come back to get you. I got to go save Lisa. I got to go save you. Put your name there. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. You see why you celebrate now? His birth. Now look at this. Psalm 45:6 and Hebrews 18 says the same thing. Your throne, oh God, is forever and ever. A scepter of righteousness is a scepter of your kingdom. Whoever wrote Hebrews, a lot of people think it's Paul. He he quoted it also and says, "But to the son, he says, your throne," and he's talking to the son of God there. This is your throne, oh God, is forever and ever. A scepter of righteousness is the scepter of your kingdom. So even though he laid down his authority, he had his kingdom forever and ever. A scepter of righteousness. So what did Jesus do then? He laid this down. And look, because he didn't come to condemn us. Look at this. Look at what he did on the cross. He says John 3:15 through18 that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that whoever believes in him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send his son into the world to condemn the world but that the world through him might be saved. He who believes in him is not condemned, but he who does not believe in him is condemned already because he has not believed in the name of the holy begotten son of God. This is what Jesus had to do as the son of God as a man. And he did it flawlessly. We can be saved today. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. But he's coming back because he laid his scepter down, his kingship down, his authority down. He picked it back up. So, by the way, he leaves. He He hands the representation to the bride of Christ now. He says, "You tell them I'm coming back. You tell them they can get grace. Get as many as you can." And that's what we've been doing from generation to generation. But he says, "I come back." Which means this grace period comes to an end. So, we can celebrate his birth and we can celebrate his death, but it it will end. Mercy and grace is here and now, but it is not in the seven-year tribulation. So, let's go look at that because we need to understand what's going on here because he's got to now put the he, you know, in Daniel, and I've been teaching on this, so I'm not going to go deeply into this because I've already taught on it. And Daniel says the nation of Israel has 490 years of punishment they got to give to God. Well, they only gave 483 years. They got seven years left. So now the nation of Israel has to come back into the picture. So God Jesus has to give them back their authority during that time to minister to the people at that time which is what the role of the 144,000 will be and the two witnesses which means it has to be taken away from the bride of Christ. Now he violently tore it away from the nation of Israel. What is he going to do for the bride of Christ? Well, there's two options. Let's go read first what's going on in Revelation here. 5:5 But one of the elders said to me, "Do not weep. Behold, the line of the tribe of Judah, the root of David has prepared to pre prevailed to open the scroll and to loose its seven seals." So that was the fulfillment of Jesus on the cross as a man. So now you're going to see in Revelation 19 him come back. Now, what I want you to see and understand here is that seven-year tribulation is a whole new set of rules. You see, we celebrate the birth of Christ and we celebrate his death right now because you can get grace right now and be saved now. Don't pass this opportunity up because there are two options here. You have the option to go up in the rapture, which will happen on the day of the Lord. And this is the day that starts day one of the seven-year tribulation. God pours his wrath out on that day. It's a huge earthquake. So, if you survive that day, you have the option. Now, if you're a believer in Christ, you've you ask Jesus to be your Lord and Savior. You call him the son of God, you will be saved, and you get to avoid the seven-year tribulation. But I'm going to tell you right now, the invitation to attend the seven-year tribulation has been placed for the nation of Israel. And they've accepted because they rejected Jesus on the cross as the son of God. They they uh they crucified him. So they accepted their invitation to the seven-year tribulation. That seven-year tribulation is for them. But anyone else alive on that day of the Lord who has not called Jesus the son of God, they now accept the invitation to attend that seven-year tribulation as well. Now, people will die through that time. A lot of people, in fact, by the time the seven years come to an end, it says men will be finer than gold. So, you can imagine how few people are going to be on the planet at that time. It's going to be nuts. Okay. I do not wish that on even an enemy. Okay? I don't wish it on anyone. Do not go through this time period. Now is the time to accept grace. But I will tell you at the end of that seven-year tribulation, we have the victory. Watch what Jesus does because now he's got to come back as king. Because the prophecy say he's going to come back as king. We know he came as son as the son of God as a male child here born on the earth. Now we can know he came he's going to come as king. Watch this. Revelation 19. We're going to read verses 11 through 16. Now I saw heaven opened and behold a white horse. And he who sat on him was called faithful and true and in righteousness he judges and makes war. His eyes were like a flame of fire and on his head were many crowns. He had a name written that no one knew except himself. He was clothed with the robe dipped in blood and his name is called the word of God. Remember I said he's the embodiment of let there be light. He is the word of God. He's been there the entire time and you can see that name is on him as he comes back. That name is on him. He is the son but he's the word of God. Now look and here it is what John now you got to realize something here. I want you to see this. Revelation is written by John as an old man and he's on the island of Patmos. He's writing this. But John as a younger version of himself already knew that he was the word of God. So now you can go back to John 1:1. Look at what he says. He says, "In the beginning was the word and the word was with God and the word was God." He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through him and without him nothing was made that was made. In him was life and the life was the light of men. So he's been here the entire time. This is all his his events. This is all about Jesus. Everything's about Jesus. You got to put him first and then you can have everything else. Oh, look at this though. And by the way, you won't want anything else. You know what? When you die to yourself and you die to sin, you want to spend time with the Lord. You know, I was in this this week studying the scripture. Really, this message has been one of the toughest ones I've had to teach in a while because the devil doesn't want the gospel, the good news to be shared. But you know, as buffeted as I was, I still got up here and I spent all day yesterday working on this message and all the interruption. It was like, wow. But the good news is that he was born and he died a man fulfilling the law, redeeming us, and he's coming back as king. And he is the word of God. And he's been here this whole time. And you know this, by the way, you know this in your spirit. You know, even an unbeliever knows this. They know this. They they could feel it. They sense it. Now watch this. Look at this. So, and the armies in heaven clothed him. Look, I'm finishing up Revelation here. And the armies in heaven clothed him fine linen, white and clean, followed him on white horses. That's us. Those of us who say Jesus is the son of God, we're going to be there with him because rapture already happened. We're coming back now. And and so many people have died up to this point. So, these are the people who have claimed Jesus as the son of God and put him in as their lordship. We're on the white horses behind him coming in to fight. Well, there is no fight, by the way. Yeah. Jesus just takes him alive, throws the the prophet in the beast into the lake of fire. This is incredible. This just so we're there. We don't need to be, but we're there. This is how much Jesus loves us. Look at this now. Says, "Now out of his mouth goes a sharp sword that with it he should strike the nations." Remember his mouth, let there be light, started this whole thing. So his word comes out and this is what defeats it all. This is he doesn't have to lift up a a real sword. He's got it coming out of his mouth. Let there be light and there was light and here we are today. Now out of his mouth goes a sharp sword that with it he should strike the nations and he himself will rule them with a rod of iron. He himself treads the wine press of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. He is putting an end to it all there. He is even ending the wrath of God. He's pressing it down. This is it. Now, now I want you to see what he is to fulfill all this. Look at this. And he has on his robe and on his thigh a name written, King of Kings and Lord of Lords. Oh, hallelujah. And he comes back as our King. That is what the nation of Israel was looking for. They're going to finally see it. Oh, they're going to finally see it and they're going to be like, "There's our Messiah. There's our God." And we're all going to be there. What an awesome message. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah.

WHAT ARE SOME CHARACTER TRAITS OF UNBELIEF The objective of this message, “What Are Some Character Traits of Unbelief” (House of Faith Ministries, January 11, 2024), is to help believers identify and confront areas in their lives where unbelief may still exist. Though one may profess faith in Christ, unbelief can surface in subtle ways—through lack of trust, embracing deception, or walking in disobedience. By examining scripture, the teaching aims to guide listeners in recognizing these traits, replacing them with faith, and strengthening their relationship with God through trust, truth, obedience, prayer, and worship. < Back WHAT ARE SOME CHARACTER TRAITS OF UNBELIEF Minister Lisa Kane January 11, 2024 Objective: The objective of this message, “What Are Some Character Traits of Unbelief” (House of Faith Ministries, January 11, 2024), is to help believers identify and confront areas in their lives where unbelief may still exist. Though one may profess faith in Christ, unbelief can surface in subtle ways—through lack of trust, embracing deception, or walking in disobedience. By examining scripture, the teaching aims to guide listeners in recognizing these traits, replacing them with faith, and strengthening their relationship with God through trust, truth, obedience, prayer, and worship. Synopsis: Lisa Kane opens the message with prayer, asking for God’s guidance, strength, and revelation as His word is applied to daily living. The central scripture is Matthew 17:20–21, where Jesus explains that the disciples could not cast out a demon because of their unbelief. From this foundation, the teaching highlights three key character traits of unbelief: Lack of Trust – Drawing from Proverbs 3:5–6, believers are reminded not to lean on their own understanding but to fully trust in the Lord’s wisdom and promises. Trusting God requires rejecting reliance on human reasoning or circumstances and embracing His guidance. Believing Lies Instead of Truth – Using 2 Thessalonians 2:11–3, Lisa emphasizes how deception can seduce believers into accepting falsehoods. She contrasts worldly teachings—such as evolution or cultural compromises—with the unchanging truth of Scripture. The lesson underscores that all spiritual discernment must be measured against the Bible. Disobedience – Disobedience is presented as both a symptom and a root of unbelief. Through Matthew 8:5–13, the faith of the centurion is contrasted with unbelief. His recognition of Jesus’ authority illustrates that true belief is tied to obedience and submission to Christ’s lordship. The message further explains how prayer, fasting, and personal worship outside of church walls deepen faith and provide authority over spiritual challenges. Believers are encouraged to repent daily, seek God’s presence, and strengthen their conviction by anchoring their reasoning in Scripture rather than in worldly voices. Lisa concludes by urging listeners to reflect: Are they struggling with trust? Are they deceived by lies? Are they resisting obedience? She exhorts them to recognize unbelief as sin, repent, and pursue the righteousness and faith that enable them to walk in victory and intimacy with Christ. Inspired Teaching: Hello and welcome to the House of Faith Ministries. I'm Lisa Kane and I'm recording this message on Thursday, January 11, 2024. Welcome. This message is called, What are some character traits of unbelief. This is going to be a good message. Let's open up in a word of prayer. Father God, we thank you for the anointing of your word and your presence. We thank you that your word does not return void. We give you the glory, the honor, the praise, and the strength. And we worship you, Father God. And we pray and ask for understanding in this word. We pray and ask for strength to apply it to our lives. For we are more than conquerors. And we pray and ask, Father God, that we recognize the deficiencies within ourselves. And that we press forward into your presence, improving in your holiness and righteousness. Thank you, Father God, in the name of Jesus. Amen. And amen. Okay, let's go to our opening scripture here. This is called, "What are some character traits of unbelief?" We're going to start here in Matthew 17:20-21. And Jesus said unto them, because of your unbelief or faithlessly, for verily I say unto you, if ye have faith, which is which means persuasion, credence, moral conviction, as a grain of a mustard seed or of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, a mountain rising, lifting itself, it's we'll get into that. remove or to change place hence to yonder place and it shall remove and nothing not even one shall be impossible or unable unto you. How be it this kind go out goeth not out by prayer but by prayer and fasting or prayers worship and fasting is absinence voluntary lack of food. My goal for this teaching is to help you recognize some areas that you may have unbelief in. There's areas we believe in, but there are areas we lack and we don't believe in. In other words, we can be a believer in Christ, but still believe a scientist talking about evolution. And I want to share this with you because I want you to understand there are areas within ourselves that we can change to better improve our lives and and help us get closer with God. And sometimes we need to recognize this. Now, to put context into this opening scripture here, just know that this is where the disciples were unable to cast out a demon. And so, they had to give this one over to Jesus. And they asked Jesus, "Why couldn't we cast out the demons?" And he says, "You have no belief. You're you're you're lacking belief. You you don't believe. If you have faith, which is the word faith there means to persuade, credence, moral conviction. You're going to see that in this message. How to convince God you got faith. So, this is a very good message and I want you to grasp a hold of this. Um, and that mountain because when you say this unto your mountain, and a mountain is rising, lifting itself, it's it's like a an issue or a situation that keeps getting bigger and bigger and looms right over you. you know, mountain versus a molehill. It's really a molehill or it isn't even a mountain for most people, but for you it is. Well, this is if you have faith, you can take that mountain and move it from here to there. And that's what Jesus is pointing out to the disciples. And of course, he had to go further because he wanted them to understand that this type of demon is cast out through prayer and fasting. Prayer is worship, meaning you got to worship the Lord. And fasting is abstinence or voluntary lack of food. And sometimes we need to fast. Sometimes we need to worship the Lord. And here's the thing is a lot of people worship the Lord at church, but you don't see them worshiping the Lord in their home. So part of your home activities with the Lord, not just staying in the secret place, but yes, being in the secret place, but you need to have your worship music on. you need to be worshiping because that's what's going to give you the authority and the power to overcome it. Also, there's something about worship and I I I want I've been wanting to teach on this for some time and maybe I'll get into it finally, but I'm not going to do it in this message. But there's something deep inside that happens when you're worshiping the Lord. Amen. All right. Now, there are three I'm going to identify three character traits here in this teaching. There are probably many more. I'm just going with three. I've got to watch my um time on my teaching. I don't want to get too too long. But look, I'm identifying three traits. So, one is no trust. Second, believe the lie instead of the truth. And the third is disobedience. So, these are three traits of unbelief that I'm going to talk about in this message. No trust. Okay, let's start with no trust. Hm. Let's see what the scripture has to say about it. And then we'll I'll go delve into this deeply. Let's start with Proverbs 3:5 and 6. Trust. And the word trust there is be confident, sure, and bold. And who do you trust? In the Lord. Who do you have your confidence in? In the Lord. Who are you sure of? Who do you boldly have confidencees? Is in the Lord. With all thine heart. Your heart is your feelings, your will, your intellect. and lean not unto thine own understanding or your own knowledge. Let's let's stop there for a moment because I want you to get a hold of what this is talking about. You know how you sometimes get a little scratchy throat? As you can tell, I got a little bit going on real right here. And sometimes you say, "Well, yeah, I think I'm coming down with cold. Um, yeah, I think I'm going to be sick." And here's the thing is you you don't have to be. And in fact, this is where I'm at right now. Uh we're we're being spiritually attacked right now. But you know what? I gave it to the Lord and I'm going to keep moving and doing my thing. So the devil's having no effect on me whatsoever. But here's the thing. When you think you're going to get sick, and you know you are. Here's the thing. He says, don't lean on your own knowledge. I remember one time um this is after CO uh this I had gotten CO in that December. So, this is a few months later, probably around May, give or take, and I needed to do a day travel to Los Angeles for my work. And I was going to be traveling on Tuesday. This was a Monday, and I was working from home that Monday. And I had a fever. And I remember taking a nap during my lunchtime. And I'm thinking, I don't have time to be sick because especially after the time of COVID, this is still that that point if you're running a fever, you're doing this. that I'm thinking, "Oh god, you know, I need to go on this day trip. I needed to do this. This was for my career." And I'm like, "I need to do this. I can't just wimp out and say, "Well, now I'm sick. Forget it." No, no, no. I had to go. So, I just told my body, I told the Lord, I told anyone who was willing to listen, I'm not sick. I don't have time to be sick. You know, I got up that next morning, had no fever, went and did my thing, and I moved on, and I never got sick. And that's what the scriptur is trying to teach us is that we don't have to accept what we think we know. We can actually change it. Well, that's part of trust. Do you trust in the Lord's healing, in the Lord's knowledge, in the Lord and the scriptures that he tells us, or do we trust in what we think we know? Because it it is a fact. We would get sick. But we don't have to. And there's the part that we don't know. And this is why the scripture clearly tells us, don't lean on our own knowledge. Don't lean on our own understanding. Verse six, in all thy ways, and that's your road, your course of life, acknowledge. And what that word acknowledge means to know, observe, care, recognize him and he shall direct or straighten even right thy path which is your welltrodden road or caravan. He's going to keep you on the right road. Keep you on the right straight path because you're acknowledging because you know, you observe, you care, you recognize him. You're putting him first. Seek ye first the kingdom of God and all the and his righteousness and all these things shall be added unto you. Matthew 6:33. Very, very important that we understand what the scriptur is telling us. These are different tactics than what we're used to. Because see, we walk in the flesh. We see the flesh. We know the flesh. But what we have to learn to know is the spirit. So, how do you know what the spirit is and what the spirit is going on? You've got to find out in the scriptures. And the more time you spend with God in the secret place, the more he teaches you how to overcome and fight this. You know, as you watch my teachings, and I've been doing this for now a handful of years, several years, and what you're seeing is my progressiveness, my progression in the Lord. You can see the strength improvement, the more overcoming and the more spiritual awareness I'm become, which is allowing me to teach better than what I had done in the past. Amen. So, how do you do? So, let's continue on with scripture to see what else it says. Romans 15:12, and again, Isaiah, which is Isaiah, saith, there shall be a root of Jesse, and he that shall rise to rain over to be first. That's what reign over. Be first seek ye first the kingdom of God. the Gentiles. In him shall the Gentiles trust or to expect and confide in him. So let's read this again and again. Isas saith there shall be a root of Jesse and he that shall rise to reign over the Gentiles. And he that shall rise to reign over the Gentiles. In him shall the Gentiles trust. That's what we are. If you're a believer in Christ and you were not born and raised in the Jewish community, you are adopted into the Jewish community because you became a believer in Christ. Christ is Jewish. Okay? Jesus is Jew. And so, we become adopted into that community. So, we're part of that, but we're called Gentiles because we're technically foreigners to we we weren't born in it, but we're adopted. And as far as God's concerned, we're part of that. Amen. So he's saying Paul as he's writing this in the Romans, he's saying that there's going to be a group of people that are going to trust the Lord. That's prophecy over you and me today. Trusting in the Lord with what we have. Hallelujah. Keep that in mind that this is what has been prophesied over us to trust. So do you want to fulfill prophecy and trust in the Lord? So you got to realize that you don't know everything. You don't understand everything. But if you trust in God, he will provide the everything that you're missing. Amen. Amen. So that's bullet number one. That's trust. Now let's look at a second character trait that I'm identifying as part of unbelief. And that's to believe the lie versus the truth. And that's kind of crazy. So let's look at this. We're going to go into 2 Thessalonians 2:11. And for this cause God shall send or dispatch them strong delusion, which is an energetic fraudulence that they should believe or have faith in a lie, a falsehood. There's a lot of people that currently believe a lie right now and they're not believing the truth and they can't understand how we're not believing with them. Seriously, just take a look at Trump. There are people that are so baffled by the people, you know, that support Trump. They just can't figure it out. They think that we're believing the lie when it's actually the opposite. And they just don't understand that. And so, what do you do? You know, these are people you've got to pray for because we need to pray for that. But this is why I'm trying to show you how to recognize that if you're under a strong delusion or not. So, let's continue on in scripture. We're going to break this down here. 2 Thessalonians 2:es 1-3. Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him, that ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter, as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand. Let no man deceive you by any means, for that day shall not come except there shall there come a falling away first. and that man of sin be revealed, the son of predition. Now, the reason I wanted to read it that way without the extra words is I wanted you guys to understand and see how this this um deception kind of works. The Thessalonians thought the rapture already happened. And so Paul is trying to explain to them, listen, it hasn't happened yet. You see, communication back then was very challenging and difficult and it could take months before you heard news of anything. So, they were confused in that moment. And so, Paul was writing to them to diffuse that. Well, even today, look at what our media is doing. Um, they're obstructing us. They're trying to keep things from us. This is why I added one of the new empowering prayers to pray for journalists and the media outlets and the media outputs because we need truth in this. And if you notice, there are some um news articles that are coming through that are saying, "Well, if you don't believe in God, I saw one journalist actually, cannot believe he said this." He goes, "You have to know there has to be a God." And I mean, he flat out said that in a a news story that he was talking about, but this is the deception that's going on. In other words, we should be able to see it. So, for example, using evolution again, I I don't know why I'm using that, but I think it's very pertinent. If you go see Ken Ham's ministry, uh, Gen Answers in Genesis, or you see the Creation Museum, or you go see the replica of the of Noah's Arc in Kentucky over there. Very powerful teachings that he's got coming through there to help you understand what the scientific community is doing and why they do what they do. Well, you know, some pastors fell for un because to them, you know, we trust our scientists. Here comes that trust factor of unbelief. This is where we have to be very careful. We think the scientists are doing their due diligence to be good for the world, to show how the world operates. But little do they know, when they don't have Christ in them, they're being manipulated by the demonic spiritual influences that are around in the world. Amen. So here they brought in the teaching of evolution been brought in um well well before Darwin but they've been bringing it in and it got popular at that time which there was a lot of people doing demonic stuff in the the 1800s there but anyways it's historical stuff if you want to go check it out but this teaching came out pastors tried to make it fit into the Bible into Genesis and into well maybe it took this long for God to get to Adam and Eve. No, the Bible has nothing. It says nothing about evolution. Your rock, your foundation should always be the Bible first. So if you hear a trusted scientist say something that just you you you have to stop and you go, "Well, is that in the Bible?" You need to think this way. You need to learn to say, "Wait a minute. Is it in the Bible?" If it's in the Bible, then maybe it's right. Let me see what the Bible says. And then you compare it to the Bible. But if the Bible says nothing about it, it ain't in the Bible. And that's where this deception comes in. And you have to be very careful. Especially like uh homosexuality. People are like, well, they love each other. Love trumps everything. It's got to be good. And the Bible clearly says it's not. It's it's an abomination to God. So whether you understand that or accept it, then what you have to do to say, "Lord, I don't understand what's going on, but I'm going to be obedient to you. You said it's bad. You said it's an abomination. I'm going to believe you and trust in you." But what a lot of Christians tend to do is, "Well, I think it's right. Forget what God says. I'm going to do what I think is right." Which by the way is where disobedience comes in which is another part of unbelief. But I need you to see how if you are not allowing uh the scripture to come in and be a part of your life and look how how Paul says it here in Romans. He's he's interrogating. He's requesting of the pe of the Thessalonians. He says, "Brethren, by coming of the Lord Jesus and by our gathering together," he's talking about the um rapture that ye be not briefly shaken. See, they were shaken, which is wavered or they agitated. Look, in their intellect intellectually they're thinking it happened because they seduced by that because it seemed convincing whatever they heard that was telling them this. It sounds seductive and truthful that evolution makes sense, but when you actually come down to the nitty-gritty of it, how many vessels go into the eye? If we had to evolve, you would have one vessel, maybe two, maybe three. There's like billions of vessels that come into the eye. One eye. That's one eye. And if oh you got all those vessels in there how did the eye survive with only five? It didn't because that's not how it happened. So we have to be very careful. So the intellect has to be settled with God or see and the intellect was shaken and troubled. Look at this. They they were wailing frightened. But look at this. He says that you not be uh uh shaken in mind or be troubled, neither by spirit nor by word. Oh, maybe that was Holy Spirit telling me something. Well, is it in the Bible? The Holy Spirit will always confirm the Bible. There's nothing new coming out of the word of God. If there's anyone like a prophet coming out saying, "Well, I have a word from the Lord that is timely." It should still be a scripture in the Bible because God's not talking anything new anymore. It's in the Bible. Now, he talks to us with dreams and visions, but everything he says has a root in the Bible. You have to believe that. You have to understand that. And then he says, "Nor by letter from us as that the day of Christ is at hand." And then he says, "Let no man deceive." Look at what the word deceive means. seduce, holy, beguile, which is what I was referring to a moment ago. You see, we cannot Oh, that sounds so appealing. Maybe that is right. Is it in the Bible? You have to be able to understand the Bible and uh seduce, holy, beg you by any means, any It could be an article. It could be them talking to you. For that day shall not come because I'm using this as an example. But look at what he's telling you. He's telling you boldly. There's going to be a fall away, a fall falling away, a defection from truth. Are you in that truth right now? Are or are you not believing that truth? Because see, if you're Look at this. It says, "For that day shall not come except there come a falling away, defection of truth." He's talking about the day of rapture. Don't be deceived and think it already happened if the falling away hasn't happened. And by the way, if you're taking a look at the unbelievers right now and people who are caught up in this deception, you will know that the falling away is beginning to happen. That's where we are in the timeline of end time events. Uh and verse and that man of sin be revealed. So uh take off the cover, disclose the son of predition. That is what's going to happen. So that's what's coming and that has not happened yet. This is that part of believing a lie versus the truth. So if you can get to the root of the word of God, you will always be in truth. You've got to stay at the root of the word of God. Now the third character trait that I'm identifying in this message is disobedience. By the way, having no faith is disobedience, which means you've got to have your belief. Unbelief is no faith. So, if you're going to have belief, you've got to have faith. Faith is what make makes things work. But let me show you in in an event that happened in Jesus day. We're going to read Matthew 8 5-10 and verse 13. And when Jesus was entered into Capernaum, there came unto him a a centurion, beseeching or calling near, inviting him, and saying,"Lord, my servant lith at home sick of the Pauly grieviously," which is terribly excessive, tormented. He's in torture and pain. And Jesus saith unto him, I will come and heal, which means adore, relieve, cure him. The centurion answered and said, 'Lord, I'm not worthy or competent, fit, or able that thou shouldest come under my roof. But speak, just say the word. The word meaning said, including your thought only. Just say the word and my servant shall be made whole. For I am under I am a man under authority. I have privilege, force, capacity, freedom. I have sold having soldiers under me. And I say to this man, go and he goeth. And to another, come and he cometh. and to my servant, do this, and he doeth it. When Jesus heard it, he marveled. He wondered. He admired this guy and said to them that followed, to the crowd around him, basically, "Verily, I say unto you, I have not found so great a vast faith." Look what that word faith means. Persuasion, credence, moral conviction. Know not in Israel. And then in verse 13 he says, "And Jesus said unto the centur, go thy way. And as and as thou hast believed, you had your faith, your credit, so be it done unto thee." And his servant was healed or made whole in the selfsame hour. Now, let's go back real quick. I want you to see something very powerful here. Says, "Faith, I did not go back far enough. Let's go back on my screen." Uh, let's see here. Oh my faith. Look at this right here. The word faith, persuasion, credence, moral conviction. That centurion told Jesus, "Listen, I understand you. You know, I have the servant of the sick. I I need him healed." And he's basically saying, "Listen, I know you're a man of authority and you have servants who work for you. And I have I'm a man of authority. I have to report to those higher than me, but I also have people who do my work for me. And basically, I understand the chain of command. And he says, when I tell my servants to do something, they do it. They have to. There's punishment when they don't do it. Same thing with Jesus. He's got his servants who work, they do whatever Jesus tells them to. All the angels will follow Jesus. Demons have to do what Jesus says. There's authority here. So, the the centurion is convincing Jesus, I know what you got. All you have to do is say the word and my servant's going to be healed because you don't have to come to my house. And that's what this word faith means. Persuade, credence, moral conviction. You need to convince Jesus why you think his word should come and and and heal like this centurion did. This is powerful because this tells you what faith is. Which is by the way, when you don't believe, you have no faith. So when you believe, you have faith. But you got to convince Jesus what your faith is made up of. Do you understand the authority he has? Do you believe the authority he has? Are you actually realizing how powerful Jesus is? Have you put aside your unbelief? Do you even recognize that you don't believe? There are things in the world we don't understand. I get that. There's things I don't understand. I don't know this whole Bible. I know very, very little. And that's just enough for me. And again, these teachings are more for me than they are for you. But I'm glad you're joining me in this journey of a lifetime to get to know Jesus and to have belief and to have faith and to be made whole. Hallelujah. This is Jesus. This is whom we serve. So, do we have that belief? Can you put that aside? Because what do you do to do that to help you with that? Let's go to Proverbs. Proverbs 18:10. The name of the Lord is a strong force security tower like a castle or a pulpit or a rostrom. If you don't know what a rostroom or rostroom is, at any platform stage for public speaking, the righteous runth rush run or to make haste run into it and is safe. They're lofty and inacceptable. This is why birds or squirrels, they put their nests so high because they're trying to keep things that can't climb from getting to their offspring. Eagles, they way up there. They put their nest way up there because these are things for safety purposes. So for your safety, for your belief to be strong, you need to be running into the tower, which is your secret place with the Lord. This is where you enter into his presence. You enter into his rightness. You start talking to God and say, "Lord, I need your help with this." There is another scripture that says the centurion came up to him says, "I I believe, but I need you to help me with my unbelief. it. All it takes is going to God and saying, "Lord, I don't understand it." You know, help me understand. And I promise you, if you truly are seeking an answer from the Lord, and you open up the Bible because you prayed about it, you open up the Bible because remember, there's no new words spoken. So, everything you need is in there. You open it up. It doesn't matter where you open it up. You It opens up to a page that you go, "Oh." And he answers what you just asked. And you're blown away. That's how God talks with us. One way of talking with us, he talks with us in many ways. Let's continue on in Ephesians. Ephesians 5 and 6 and verse 11. For this ye you know that no whoreonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man who is an idoltor hath any inheritance, he airship possession in the kingdom of Christ and of God. Let no man deceive, cheat you, or delude you with vain empty words. Remember we were showing how seductive and how you know it you reason it in your mind. You hear what they say, man. Yeah, that evolution seems to make sense, you know, but it's on the surface. You got to check it. You got to go to the Bible and check it. So, this is what Paul is telling us in the Ephesians. Let no man cheat you to lead you with vain empty words. For because of these things cometh the wrath, the violent passion of God upon the children of what? Disobedience. Look at this. Disbelief, unbelief, and have no fellowship. You do not co-articipate. Don't co-articipate with unfruitful, barren works of darkness, shadiness, obscurity, but rather reprove or prove to be false. Admonish them. It's like someone's trying to convince you about evolution and you say, "Well, what about the Bible says nothing about it and they say,"Well, you know, the Bible isn't been proven true. It's never been proven false." You can convincingly show them, hey, well, it doesn't make any sense. Especially when you know the medical anatomy, you know enough to say, hey, you know what? I'm an intellectual individual and I can reason within myself. Do you really think that a pool of drudge, whatever it is that got put together made me an intellectual being? No, no, no. There's something else that had to have made me. You see, now you're reasoning and you're putting it back on them to prove. And of course they can't prove it because it's not biblical. It's not real. This is what we do as righteous being. This is how we keep ourselves safe. This is how we enter in. So question I have for you is do you recognize any of these traits within yourself? Are you having trouble trusting? Are you having trouble believing the lie? Or are you just simply not being able to reason to Jesus, to God whom you're supposed to be praying to? Are you not able to reason in your prayer that I should be healed? You know, maybe you're living in so much sin that you can't even tell God, I I've been doing good, Lord. I shouldn't be sick. By the way, that's really non-scriptural. Look at Job the righteous man and what he went through. But it doesn't matter. See whether you're sick or you see when you are choosing God first, whatever happens at you, you just say I already know God's got it. See, I just taught enter into his rest. So I just enter into his rest now and say, "Ah, he's got it. I don't have to worry about it." This is the power of God. recognize what you're dealing with on the inside and pray and and start with forgiveness. Forgive yourself and ask God to forgive you. Always start with that. And you say, "Well, I' I've repented before. I I don't need to do it again. Job repented for his children every time they had a party." Trust me, if they if Job can do that, you and I can. You know, one of our nightly prayers before we go to bed, my husband and I always repent before the Lord. You just never know. I I want to be right standing with God and I don't want even anything. Go read the seven letters to the churches in Revelation. Jesus identified things they did that was good, but then he would say something like, "But I still have this against you." Well, I don't want God to find anything against me, but I'm in the flesh and I recognize that and I understand that I'm going to do stupid things because that's what we do as humans. But God gave us his salvation. And he says, "Seek ye first the kingdom of God and all these things and his righteousness and all these things shall be added. And his righteousness is to build your faith. Get yourself into obedience. That way you are operating in the status of belief and that you are not in unbelief because unbelief is sin." And if you didn't know that, you just learned something new today. I'm hoping this message will help you recognize things and I'm hoping it will help you pray through it and help you change those things that are within you so that you are walking in belief. Amen. Let's close in a word of prayer. Father God, we thank you for your word and we thank you for the anointing of your word. We thank you for your awesomeness and your gloriousness, for the power of your word and and for your amazing amazing grace. Thank you, Father God. May we learn from this and operate in belief. And may we start operating in faith and be able to convince you why we're operating in faith. Hallelujah. In the name of Jesus. Thank you, Father God. Amen and amen. God bless you. I will see you in the next message. Bye-bye. Previous Next Home

The teaching seeks to build boldness and confidence in approaching God, demonstrating how Jesus’ sacrifice tore the veil, granting direct access to the Holy of Holies. It aims to help listeners consciously understand their forgiveness, live in freedom from sin, and embrace their sanctification and justification through Christ. Synopsis: In “The Pardon,” Lisa Kane explains the profound significance of Jesus’ sacrifice as the ultimate high priest, sacrificial lamb, and returning king. Drawing primarily from Hebrews chapters 9 and 10, the message begins by comparing the Old Testament system of sacrifices—where priests offered the blood of animals once a year in the Holy of Holies—with the New Covenant established through Christ’s own blood. The tearing of the temple veil at Jesus’ crucifixion symbolizes believers’ direct access to God’s presence. Lisa highlights that the remission of sins, or pardon, is more than forgiveness—it is a complete cancellation of guilt, secured once for all through Christ’s blood. Unlike the temporary covering of sins in the old system, Jesus’ sacrifice brought eternal redemption, justification, and sanctification. Believers are encouraged to boldly enter God’s throne room, knowing that His pardon makes them righteous and grants authority to live transformed lives. The message also emphasizes the importance of allowing this truth to penetrate the conscience, leading to a deep awareness of being forgiven and loved. Through testimonies, scripture references, and practical applications, Lisa urges listeners to live as walking testimonies of God’s pardon—ministering His grace to others and boldly claiming His promises in every area of life. The teaching concludes with a call to embrace this covenant of love and approach God with confidence, trusting that He is faithful and His pardon is eternal. Inspired Teaching: Hello and welcome to the House of Faith Ministries. I'm Lisa Kane and I'm recording this on Sunday, May 28th, 2023. Welcome. This message is called the pardon. Let's open up a word of prayer. Father God, we thank you for your word. We thank you for your anointing. We thank you for your presence, Lord. I bless this word and I ask for your blessing on it. And I pray that it is spoken eloquently through your Holy Spirit, Father God. And I pray that people understand the boldness and the confidence that they can enter into the Holy of Holies with your pardon, Father God. That they can go boldly before you and just say, "Lord," and then whatever it is that they need, their needs will be met and they will be saved. Thank you, Father God, for showing them your word and showing them the boldness and the confidence that they can have entering into your Holy of Holies. In the name of Jesus, amen. Amen. Amen. Let's go into our opening scripture here. We're going to be in Hebrews mostly 9 and 10. Uh but this is going to be our final scripture as well as our opening scripture. Now where there is remission of these meaning remission of sins, there is no longer an offering for sin. Now the word remission there means pardon. It's like a governor pardoning someone who's been accused and has served some amount of time in jail. The the whole point of Jesus doing his remission, which is giving him his blood. We're going to talk about that here in a moment. He pardoned us. Pardon us. And he basically forgave us and we can be forgiven over and over and over and we're forgiven for a lifetime whether we choose to live for Christ or not. God blesses with healing. Sometimes he heals unbelievers and they will never believe. However, God knows the heart of men and he works with them. Amen. So, here we are. Look at this again. And I want to show it to you. Now, this is Hebrews 10:18. Now, where there is remission or pardon of these, there is no longer an offering of sin. So, let's talk about the offering. the temple. The um when Moses was given the directions of creating a tabernacle, he had been given specific instructions of what to make, even including all the utensils and everything that was part of the tabernacle. So basically, he built a moving tabernacle with a tent across the wilderness for 40 years. So that was built within that. Solomon built his temple later on. Um and then a second temple was built after Solomon. And then we had we're going to have a third temple built here. Now in this temple, it's kind of interesting how this was set up. There's a front room and a back room. When you walk in through the festival, the front room is right there and it had the lampstand which is the manora, the word which is the first five books of the Torah and uh the showbread that is what was in this room and this is where the normal daily priest would do their normal activities. That's how they operated was in this room. Well, next to that room was a veil and that veil was a very thick veil. Very, very thick. No one could cross it except the high priest once a year to ask mercy over the nation of Israel. And inside the holy of holies was the ark of the covenant. And the ark of the covenant is if you go read David and how he brought it to the to the city of David. One man touched it accidentally. He was killed. The ark of the covenant would bless whomever it laid whomever had it. So I think the city of Gan ended up having it for a while. They were blessed immensely as far as I can understand from scripture. So th this is how the holy of holies worked. That was the communication. This is God's spirit here in this box. So well and in those days too when a priest would make his daily sacrifice. He would sacrifice the rams and the bull blood and all that stuff. Well he had to take that in once a year to this holy of holies. And the ark of the covenant had a mercy seat sitting on it. So basically, he was putting the blood of bulls and the blood of rams on this mercy seat to ask for forgiveness, which God didn't really want that. He wanted his son's blood, which we're going to get to here in a moment. But here, he's laying the blood down. And as I understand it, he laid it on one side of the mercy seat and the other side was for the blood of the son of God, the Messiah that was coming. So they had kept it separate. But um this was such a I you know I want you to understand something here because we're going to be talking about going into boldness and the confidence with our pardon and going into that holy of holies. You see no one could enter that holy of holies until Jesus tore the veil. We're going to get to that. But when the high priest would go in once a year, they put bells on the bottom of his robes and they tied a rope around his ankle. Why? Because if he died in there, how else were they going to get his body out? And sometimes he would die and so they'd pull his body out. Either God rejected their their sacrifice or whatever the circumstance it was. It was between that priest, the nation of Israel and God at that time. But that's how this operated. So now let's go a little further because I want you to see how the pardon affected all of that which was all Old Testament and then it changed into the New Testament. So we're going to go to Hebrews. We're going to look in chapter 9 11-2. But Christ came as high priest of the good things to come. Let's pause here for a moment and understand, realize that Christ is the priest, the Messiah. He's the ultimate sacrifice. So in essence, he came for three roles. I always preach two roles, but I'm going to go here and go a little bolder here. So he came as a priest. He's the one who took his blood, his own blood, because he also came as a sacrifice to put on the holy of holies, the mercy seat or in the holy of holies on the mercy seat. And he's going to come back as king. So he had a threefold role that I know of just at at the time of this teaching. And so here that boldness, Jesus had to do all this. So look at what Paul is saying here in Hebrews. But Christ came as high priest of the good things to come. Because he's telling the Israelites, I know that you crucified him. You rejected him. But I'm letting you know that you can get salvation still and you can repent and have a pardon. This is what Paul is trying to teach the Hebrews. So as he's trying to teach us, he's letting them know, listen, he came as a priest first. He had to come as a priest first. So watch this. to come with the greater and more perfect tabernacle not made with hands that is not of this creation. He knew Jesus is the one who wrote the entire Bible and provided the right words to the authors at any time that they wrote throughout the years. So the Jesus is the author of the holy word of God. He's the one who engineered this all. He's the one who said, "Let there be light." And because he was doing that, he was preparing the old history. These are not stories. These are events that took place. He's preparing these old events as a foreshadow of what is to come. The Messiah himself. This is what Paul is uh referring to. He had a he had a tabernacle in heaven, not made with hands. It's not of this creation. And it's in another world, another dimension, the heavenly realm, not here on earth. But what we now he had to fulfill both. He had to fill the heavenly one, he had to fulfill the earthly one because Moses anointed the earthly one with blood and made a covenant and a covering over them. So he had to fulfill he Jesus was a very busy person at this time. Amen. Let's continue on. Now we're in verse 12. Not with the blood of goats and calves, which is what, by the way, I'm going to pause here. Which is what Moses sanctified the Holy of Holies, the Ark of the Covenant, the first five books of the Torah, the Bible, he had anointed it all with blood. All the utensils, the curtains, the walls. He anointed it with blood. Blood of what? Goats and calves. But now look at what Jesus does. Not with the blood of goats and calavs, but with his own blood, he entered the most holy place once for all, having obtained eternal redemption. So, here's Jesus. He's on the cross. He's about to die. He can't die. Why can't he die? He has no sin in him. There's no sin in the Messiah from birth to the point of death. What God had to do was pour sin out on top of him. And here's what's mo most amazing. Okay, so the need is met now for death because you got to have the blood sacrifice. We're going to see how death was a huge role in this. Why Jesus had to die because he could have just walked off that cross and kept going if he wanted to. He had the power and the authority to do it. He chose not to because he knew he had to give you a pardon. He came for the remission of sins. The word remission means pardon. He pardoned the sins. So understand because he pardoned them, he had to die. So when the sins was placed on his body, the blood saw it and cleansed it, but it allowed him to die. It allowed the blood go onto the mercy seat, and it allowed him to fulfill the promise, which is pardon of the sins, remission of the sins. That's what Jesus did. He had to do it and the blood had to be done for that. Let's continue on now. Look at So, oh, and so what happens here something remarkable. His blood comes out of his body, drips down, and either an angel collects it and takes it to the mercy seat, lays it on there, where you can also believe Ron Wyatt's story where he talks about finding the ark of the covenant underneath where the cross was and that his blood came down. Let's read the scripture because I want you to see how Ron Wyatt makes sense, but at the same time, the angel of God being there as well. Look at this. Matthew 27:51-53. Then behold, the veil of the temple was torn into from top to bottom, and the earthquake, and the rocks were split, and the graves were open, and many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised. And coming out of the graves after his resurrection, they went into the holy city and appeared to many. Your spirit should be jumping out of its skin right now because of what that moment did, which is what I was just talking about. So when his blood came down, the angel collects it, pours it on the mercy seat. Well, in the physical, what happened on the earth, which is what Ron Wyatt saw, the earthquake, it opened up a shaft or a big enough crack for the blood to flow through and land on the perfect part of the mercy seat, which was the other side of where the bulls and the rams were. Their blood, their dried blood was, but his blood basically anointed the mercy seat. And because it's so alive, did you see how many graves opened up around it? Oh my goodness. Just think of an aunt or an uncle that had been buried within days or weeks and they come out of their grave and they go into the people's houses and they start sharing the word of God. This man came, he saved me and he brought me back to life. Oh, it's amazing. But remember, Lazarus was brought back to life when Jesus was alive still and Lazarus had to die again later on. Death is a part of the mystery of this life of the blood of life. Life cannot stay dead. Now, I don't want to teach on that. I don't want to get caught up into all of that, but it was necessary. Look at what Hebrews uh 9:16-18 says. For where there is a testament, there must also of necessity be the death of the testator, that's Jesus. For a testament is in force after men are dead, since it has no power at all while the testator lives. Therefore, not even the first covenant was dedicated without blood. Uh he's referring to um Moses and anointing uh all of the things with blood. He had to do it in the past. Jesus had to do it here. The blood became the testimony. That is what the testament is. Jesus had to die. The man had to die. The man who knew no sin had to die by having sin poured on him. But his blood was so pure that it just purified that sin and created a pardon that you and I can have here and now today. This is incredible. Look at how he purifies this with his blood. Hebrews 9:22. And according to the law, almost all things are purified with blood. And with without shedding of blood, there is no remission, no pardon. So here, the blood had to come out of Jesus. And no, he couldn't just cut it and leave a little bit. He actually had to die. And he did because he became that walking testimony that you and I, the bride of Christ, now preaches to all the earth. We're called to preach and teach the word of God to everyone. Whether you're doing it like I am, whether you're doing it behind a pulpit or whether you're doing it in your daily life where you just smile at someone, listen to them, pray with them, show them how God ministers to you. You're a walking testimony and that pardon shows off to people because that's what the blood of Christ did. It minister. And by the way, if you don't do it, the rocks will. You can go read on that. I'm going to leave that to you, a mystery to you to go research. You got to get in the word of God and you got to understand how that blood changes you. You You see, you have this encounter with this perfect grace, perfection. That's what Jesus, you know, I understand that people love the earth and look at it and see it as beautiful. It was made extremely beautiful. This is ugly compared to what it was when Adam lived. That was perfect utopia then. And I understand people want to go back to that. But the next perfect thing because that got corrupted and and fell is Jesus. Jesus was the only perfect thing after that was it. And his blood had to cleanse all the sin in the world. Imagine you lied. You stole. You killed someone. Imagine having a pardon from the governor, from the almighty God himself, where the devil can't even bring up your past sins to you or anyone else anymore because Jesus says, "I don't see it. It's got blood on it. I see blood." And it's the blood that caused the remission of sins, the pardon to come into existence. Oh, you guys got to get that. Let's continue on here in verse 24. For Christ has not entered the holy places made with hands which are copies of the true, but into heaven itself now to appear in the presence of God for us. So Jesus is he had to ascend. We're going to see the witness of that in just a moment. So he shed his but he had to die because he became a testimony and he says here here's my pardon. Take it. Take it. I'm going to forgive you. Get as many as you can. and get as many as you can. He says, "I'm going to go up and I'm going to defend you and make a place. I'm going to prepare a place for you." And that is what Jesus is doing. So, he is up there. You've got to see how he did this. This pardon is for you and me today because look at what he did. He ascended. Acts 1:9. Now, when he has spoken these things while they watched, he was taken up and a cloud received him out of their sight. He was taken to heavenly father. He is the way, the truth, and the life. No man comes to the father except through him. So he left us his blood though. It got placed on the mercy seat in the earthly realm. He got placed in the heavenly temple tabernacle. So his blood physically is in both places. So you and I get to say Jesus and you grab hold of your your pardon. And the moment you do, because you believe, remember what 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 is how the pardon works. And boy, that gives you all kinds of things that you can do. But it has to affect the conscience. It has to you got to get it on the inside. Let's continue on in scripture. I want to show you more things here. Hebrews 9:26, he then would have had to suffer often since the foundation of the world. But now, once at the end of the ages, he has appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself. I understand that some of you are going to receive and believe and run with this. You're going to go through the greatest transformation you've ever had in your life. Because when you encounter the grace of God at this level and you realize that every one of your sins is forgi forgiven because of the pardon, you just will never be the same. I there's an acknowledgment in your conscience, in your soul that says Jesus saved me. And boy, it it just radic radically changes. It transforms you. I understand that some people are not going to understand. They're not going to believe. They're not going to be able to accept. They They don't get it. They want to say, "Well, I've got to do penance. I got to do so many Hail Marys. I got to get on my knees." When God says it's the grace of God, his pardon is what does it. And I'm sorry if you're hearing the pool. I've got the windows open. And that's the the pump in the pool cleaning the pool. And it sounds like a little monster. So, it's not a demonic thing. It's the pool. Sorry, should have closed the window before I started this. But you have this pardon and some people just can't grasp that. I mean, look at Now, I know the Philippines is interesting how they do Easter. They get uh they they sacrifice they they hang themselves to a cross to go through the experience of what Jesus went to. But you don't have to do that. Look at the thief on the cross. All he said was, um, "Hey, this guy's innocent. I'm the one who's guilty." And then he tells Jesus, "Remember me when you enter your kingdom." And that guy, Jesus says, "I promise you, you and I will be in paradise together tonight." So they got, you know, the salvation, that sanctification is so simple and yet it boggles and deceives some of the minds of the people because they think they have to work hard or, you know, look what they did with Trump. how much they hated him that they voted Biden. And we we're in our situation that we're in uh economically and politically. But look at what they did to Trump. They hated him so much that they rejected something good that would build the country back up. Imagine them rejecting Jesus because they hate him. You don't like my lifestyle. you don't like that I acknowledge as a male or a female or genderless or whatever it may be. But I promise you on the day of judgment and if you're there, God isn't going to acknowledge your gender. He's going to acknowledge you how he created you, which was perfect. And he's known you from the womb in absolute perfection. So, I'm letting you know here and now. Even though you may reject initially, I want you to hear this. I want you to understand this. Even though you may reject initially, that grace will be there until the day of the Lord, until his return. So, now is the time to continue and get back in there and grab that grace. And you may have already grabbed that grace. You've drifted off. You have your pardon, but you don't know how to use it. and you go to church, but you're you're suffering when you shouldn't be because Christians in Christ should not ever suffer. You should always have a peace and joy. It's a lack of understanding. So, it's now time to grow into the word and to live the word and begin to understand what that word means for you. So this once in a lifetime event that Christ did only once so powerful. He saved you from sin. And if you go the rest of your life, you you activated your pardon. You said Jesus and he saved you and you choose to walk another way. I do promise you this. Jesus will not lose one. He will find you and he will get you. You want to keep running. He's a perfect gentleman. He will honor your respect, your your u your choice. I promise you, you would never walk away from this kind of grace that is right in front of you. Especially if you're someone who's ever spent time in jail or someone you know is in jail, that pardon comes in handy. grab it and utilize it. Now, I'm going to show you how to utilize it here very shortly. Let's continue on. Hebrews 10. Now, we're in verses 12- 18. But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down at the right hand of God. Remember, he ascended. And because he ascended and he did it once, now he sits at the right hand of God. He's our lawyer. He defends us because Satan is still out there trying to defeat us, which he can't. Verse 13, from that time waiting till his enemies are made his footstool. He's going to keep doing this until the enemies are made his foot footstool. Let's continue on. Verse 14. For by one offering he has perfected forever those who are being sanctified. Notice he uses the word being. Let's go back. Let's double check that being. Sanctification is getting saved. It is separate from justification. But you need sanctification, saving in order to enter justification. But the man on the cross never ever got past the sanctification. He he died on the cross, saved, but he did not ever understand or nor did he ever use justific. He never had to to understand that he was justified, that he was right because he got saved. Every time you confess and repent, think of it like this. We're talking about the blood here. We're talking about the uh the remission of sim pardon. When you have holy communion, you eat of the cracker. You drink of the blood and it represents bo uh body of Christ. Anyways, as you drink that, that blood becomes that and and Paul tells you to make sure that you're worthy before that. How do you get worthy? You repent. I'm grabbing your pardon, Lord Jesus. I believe you and I ask you to save me. You grab that. That's your sanctification. And I'm promising you, you can never lose it. You might not understand it fully on your conscience. You may not live it right away because there's a transformation that takes place, which is what leads into your justification. Now, as you grow spiritually, you begin to understand that you're justified. You know, when COVID came and I was reading uh Psalm 91, I'm looking at the scripture and I'm reading it. I go, God, I should never have gotten CO. And I mean, I went boldly before the Lord because I know my sins were forgiven. I've been spending secret time in the Lord, which is what Psalm 91 tells you to do. And then sickness is supposed to flee. Well, then I got healed and I was fully healed with no ramifications or consequences to any of that. Why? because I went boldly to the throne with my pardon and I said I should not have to have any fruit coming out of that. That's a dead thing and I do not want it. I'm healed and I'm saved. And Jesus said, "Yeah, you're right." And he made it happen. That is justification now. Cuz see, in your conscience, you're finally understanding, wait a minute, I've got a pardon. I've got the blood of Jesus. I I can go to him and tell him what his word says because see, I'm choosing to dwell in that word. I'm choosing to let that word live in me. I'm choosing to read it and speak it whether I understand it or not. And there are things this message I didn't quite understand when the Lord started me on this journey. This was yesterday. Started in Ezekiel 44. Notice that's not in this message, but it was the start and it got me here. Talking about salvation, talking about the remission of sins, the blood, the pardon that we have, and the boldness and the confidence we can go into throne room with. It happened that way because I was spending time with the Lord, which gives me the justification. And by the way, if you're a new believer in Christ and you're not doing that yet, you're justified. Why? Because you have no sin on you. Because the blood covers you. And because you're covered by the blood. Hey Jesus, I don't need to have this guy on my back. I don't need to be on drugs. I don't need to be in sin anymore. I don't need this. I don't need that. I'm healed. And he says, "Yes, you are finally got you here. Let's get you." And he moves you forward. That's how this works. This is why I wanted to teach in the garden. I want you to understand once you grab a hold of this, you walk into that that forgiveness and and you grab it and you say, "I'm not letting go. This is the most important thing on the face of the universe is the blood of Jesus. [Music] By one offering, for by one offering he has perfected forever those who are being sanctified." Look at this. Verse 15. But the Holy Spirit also witnesses to us. For after he had said before, this is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, says the Lord. I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds I will write them. Then he adds, "Their sins and their lawless deeds I will remember no more. Now where there is remission, pardon of these, there is no longer an offering for sin." Oh, how beautiful. You see now this this is why I had to get in the conscience. This is why you have to understand when you speak and you say Lord Jesus and you have his pardon. You say, you know what, Lord, forgive me. He does because he will forgive you of anything. The you know there there's a scripture talks about an unforgivable sin, but that's when you die. Once you're dead, you cannot be saved after the fact. So you have to be saved before. Once you have your pardon, now you get to move forward with the Lord under that covenant that he made, which puts into your heart and your mind his laws. You see, the ten commandments were fulfilled. But what was the new commandment? Jesus said, "Let us love one another as you would yourself. Love your neighbor as yourself." These he's talking about love. And we know that here in the end times according to Matthew 24:25, love grows cold. That's what's happening here. So we have to understand that that pardon puts us into a covenant with God where we get to go into the Holy of Holies. Let's look at that tabernacle. Now Jesus tore the veil in two. Now it becomes one room where every priest, you're a priest, I'm a priestess. Every priest now operates in that room. And guess what? I get to walk right up to that throne room to the Holy of Holies with my pardon. It's on. I got it. Crown of salvation. That whatever you want to consider it to be. You just go up and say, "Lord Jesus, you're Lord over my life. You're Lord over my finances. You're Lord over my teachings. You are Lord over my body. You are Lord. You are Lord. You are Lord. And you see, you speak, you confess, you prophesy because consciously consciously you understand and know your pardon allows you to go into that Holy of Holies where remember in the Old Testament a high priest can only go in once a year and he didn't always make it out. But now we get to walk into his presence. Hey, daddy. Lord Jesus, father. I need some peace today. I'm going to need it. Lord, extra dose today, please. Whatever your situation is. If there's a beautiful plant that you love, Lord, take the plant to the Lord. Can you heal it for me? I a bird crashed into a window at work one time, and my boss thought it was it was on its body. He wasn't on his feet and it it hit hard and knocked itself out. And my boss walked away and I looked at that bird and this was a handful of years ago. I said, "Lord, heal this bird. He's part of your creation. He's part of what you got going on." And you know, five minutes go by, check on him. Now, he was standing up on his legs and one leg like he's sleeping, but he's uh he's hurt, but he's going through the healing process. And within 15 minutes, this bird woke up, looked around, and flew away. You see, the world will think it's dead. But you know that there's life in the blood because you have your part in that you get to go straight to the creator, the almighty. You get to boldly go to him. Look at this. Look at this. Hebrews 10:19-23. Therefore, brethren, having boldness to enter the holiest by the blood of Jesus, by a new and living way, which he consecrated for us through the veil, that is his flesh. Uh, let's pause there for a moment. There's so much in this teaching around around the temple, and I'm just touching the surface, but there's the temple's veil is torn in two. He just said that the flesh was Jesus. It was torn in two because the blood had to come out of him to cleanse the sin. Got to get that verse 20. By a new and living way which he consecrated for us through the veil that is his flesh. And having a high priest over the house of God, let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith. Having our hearts sprinkled sprinkled with what? Sprinkled with blood. The pardon is on us. We're covered. We have the helmet of salvation. The blood of Jesus has been sprinkled on us from an evil conscience. Now, you see how your conscience has to grab it and get a hold of it because you're changed all of a sudden. And you should be thinking, "Wow, that's it. I just had to ask him to forgive me. And now I can go to the greatest creator. I can ask him for better weather. I can ask him for better finances. I can ask him for a better new home. Yes. Yes. And yes, and yes to even more than that. Imagine, look at Solomon. He asked for wisdom. Imagine asking for wisdom. Imagine asking for knowledge. Imagine reading the word and finding out more about who God is because you're curious. Now, who is this guy? And who is this God? Well, you know, why is he interested in me? Why did he go through and give me this power and authority? I've I messed up and he's letting me do this. Yeah, that's the kind of God I serve. This is why I believe you can't lose your salvation because God is God. God is love. He for God so loved the world, he sent his only begotten son, Jesus, to do exactly what I'm talking about here. Since Jesus did it because Jesus was obedient. Now look it. We have life. We have a pardon. We have the blood on us. We're forgiven. And now we get to go to the greatest being ever, ever, ever, and boldly go talk to him. And sometimes, you know, if you're lonely in this earth, all it takes is just, "Hey, God, I got a few minutes and I'm kind of bored. I'm lonely. This isn't the only time I want to talk to you, but I'm going to sit here and talk to you because I don't want to be alone. I'm not alone. You're with me. You're always with me. Do you see now the transformation that takes place in the mind, the conscious, because now you're consciously thinking, I'm curious what God says about this. Let me go find out. And you get to finally get your answers. And for those of you who go asking the world for your answers, you're looking in the wrong place. The Bible has every answer. And if you think you're too stupid or too dumb to read or understand the Bible, I beg to differ. You are not. God made you perfect. He made you holy. He made you to be a child of the most high. You are his child. And you know what? He wants to teach you. And sometimes it's just spiritual things going in your mind and how much you said you were dumb. All of that is keeping you from understanding when all you have to go back is, "Lord, I make you Lord Jesus over my dumbness, over my stupidness, because I'm not going to be that anymore. I'm going to understand because of your word." Now, imagine the breakthrough, the mental breakthrough there. Imagine the breakthrough you will have in your life. Lord, I I lift my husband to you. I lift my children to you because you know what, Lord? You said to give them to you. I cast my cares. I care for them. I love them. I want to see them consciously come to you. And the spirit of God will move because that's more important than anything else in this world. Amen. Let's continue on here. Uh and having a high priest over the house of God. Verse 22, let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water. Pure water, by the way, is the living word of God. Start reading it. Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering. For he who promised is faithful. This is so important. He kept his promise. Jesus kept his promise. Jesus went to the cross for his son, for for his father, and he said, "I will do it. I'm going to save these people because I love them just like you love them. Jesus said, "If you know me, you know my father. Jesus is just like his father. If you know me, you know Jesus." Because I'm trying to emulate Jesus in all that I do. This is how it starts. It starts consciously. And it says, I say to my conscience, to my soul, "Hey, you got a way out. Here's the blood." And so I go and I boldly say it. And now I'm sanctified. How could I be considered sanct a saint? I was a sinner. But that is exactly what Jesus wants us to be like. But then he goes a little further and says, now that you're humbled, now that you've repented, now you're justified Previous Next Home

HEALING YOUR SOUL AND BODY The objective of this message is to teach believers how forgiveness, the power of their words, and a relationship with the Lord directly affect the healing of both soul and body. It aims to reveal the biblical principles that show how harboring unforgiveness and speaking curses can manifest in sickness, while releasing forgiveness, speaking blessings, and walking in the Spirit bring healing, restoration, and long life. < Back HEALING YOUR SOUL AND BODY Minister Lisa Kane October 6, 2023 Objective: The objective of this message is to teach believers how forgiveness, the power of their words, and a relationship with the Lord directly affect the healing of both soul and body. It aims to reveal the biblical principles that show how harboring unforgiveness and speaking curses can manifest in sickness, while releasing forgiveness, speaking blessings, and walking in the Spirit bring healing, restoration, and long life. Synopsis: In this teaching, Lisa Kane opens with Matthew 6:14–15 to establish the connection between forgiveness and healing. Forgiveness is not about securing eternal salvation—that comes by calling on the name of Jesus—but rather about releasing bitterness and letting go of offenses so the soul can be healed, which then manifests as health in the body. Holding onto unforgiveness leads to hardened hearts and even physical sickness, while forgiveness opens the door to freedom, peace, and healing. Lisa stresses that healing requires a choice: to let go of offenses, to bless instead of curse, and to replace negative words with the fruit of the Spirit—love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faith, humility, and self-control. Scriptures such as Psalm 91, Proverbs 18:14, and Isaiah 53 show that God promises long life, deliverance, and wholeness to those who walk in His presence. The message also highlights the importance of self-control over one’s words, for the spirit of a person can sustain or prolong infirmity by speaking curses. By walking in the Spirit, believers can overcome the lusts of the flesh, stop sending mixed messages to the spiritual realm, and live in alignment with God’s promises. The teaching closes with a powerful prayer of repentance, forgiveness, and declaration of healing, encouraging listeners to receive God’s benefits, walk in the fruit of the Spirit, and manifest divine health in their souls and bodies. Inspired Teaching: Hello and welcome to the House of Faith Ministries. I'm Lisa Kaine. I'm recording this on Friday, October 6, 2023. Welcome. This message is called Healing Your Soul and Body. Let's open up in a word of prayer. Father God, we thank you for your word. We ask that you open up our ears, eyes, hearts, and minds to see your word, to receive your word, to believe your word, and to trust your word, Father God, that we may live by your word, so that our souls are healed and that our bodies manifest that healing. Thank you, Father God, for the glory of your presence, your anointing, Holy Spirit. Thank you that you speak eloquently through these lips and uh move me out of the way if you need to, Lord, in the glorious name of Jesus. Thank you, Father God. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Let's open up in our opening scripture here. Let's go to our opening scripture. Healing your soul and body. We're going to start here in Matthew 6:14-15. For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly father will also forgive you. But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your father forgive your trespasses. This scripture tends to be taken into context that you would lose your salvation or that you can't get saved because you won't forgive someone. And the reality of this is that you have a choice to forgive or not to forgive with this scripture. Meaning, if you choose to forgive, you can heal your soul and you can heal your body. If you choose not to forgive, your your soul and your body is going to be in a lot of pain and you end up going to your death very painful and very early. Uh there's principles and scriptures that uh show this and this is what I'm going to be teaching on today so that your soul and your body could be healed. Uh because it is a choice and it's up to you of whether you want to forgive or not. But this is you don't have to forgive someone for your eternity. Anyone who calls upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. You'll see the scripture as we come into it later on in this teaching. So that has nothing to do with this. This has to do with you, the individual, and whether you're going to forgive others for your healing. Now, there's two parts to this, and it's very, very powerful, and I'm going to try to touch on both parts. I want you to see that you can do this for yourself, but you can also do this for those around you. I've taught before and it's it's probably been a year and a half, maybe a couple years now, uh where I taught that you're the priest or the priestess over your home, over your um family, co-workers, and such. This is another way to change the individuals around you by interceding for them and allowing the Holy Spirit to do his job. So, I'm going to uh take a moment here and I'm going to ask you a series of questions because this is where it changes you. And if you want it, this is for you. If you don't want it, click off this video and move on. Hit the pause or hit the X and get out because seriously, this is so powerful. It's going to change you. And and I'm going to show you how it works. So the question I have is, do you want to live a long life? Do you want to be healed? Do you know that there are some people who don't want to be healed? It's a conversation piece. It's a great conversation topic. They don't, you know, it's it's something to go talk to somebody about. Well, let me let you in on a little secret. There are other topics to talk about. So, do you want to be healed? For that matter, do you believe you can be healed? You see, we live in a generation where we were taught that we can call the doctor's office, go get a prescription, get a pill, and the symptom is taking place. And if you go long enough with it, all they do is double the pill, make it stronger. They're only dealing with the symptom. They're not dealing with the root. So, do you want to be healed? Do you believe you can be healed? Do you believe the word of God? Do you believe that Jesus Christ is the son of God? This is going to play a very important role here. I want you to understand that. So, let's go back to our opening scripture here. I want you to see something here. As you know, what I'm doing now is I'm teaching through the King James version. So, anything in parentheses and italicize is something I added, which is the definition of the word that's bolded. So, that's how I'm going to teach this. For if ye forgive. So that word forgive there means to send forth, let go, release. So if for if ye forgive men their trespasses, that word trespass means a side slip or something of a fault. A fault. Look at this. It's unintentional or willful. So for if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly father will also forgive you, release you. But if you forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your father forgive your trespasses. Notice the key word here. This is how I know it's different. Trespasses, a fault or a slip. So when you confess Jesus as your Lord and Savior, you're forgiven. Your eternity is set. It says anyone who calls upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. I will show you that in three different scriptures that I have found thus far. And you will see how powerful that is. Because anyone, a murderer, a liar, a thief, anyone, you committed adultery, anyone can call upon the name of the Lord and be saved. That's your eternity. Now, if you want your healing, you've got to forgive the faults of those who faulted you. Whether you're right or wrong, just because you're justified and you're right doesn't mean you don't forgive. You got to let it go. You see the meaning here? Let go. That's what forgiveness is. You got to let it go. What happens, and this is scientifically proven, is when you're harboring hate, bitterness, envy, because you're not forgiving, you're not letting go. What happens is you're holding on to it, and you it hardens your physical cells in your body. And those cells that tighten up and hold like that, and you continue to hold it like that for 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year, guess what happens? Those hardened cells turn into cancer. They manifest into that. So this is why we have to let go. And the word for let go is to forgive. So it doesn't matter whether someone's there or not. You just need to do it vocally. Let's continue on and and see how the scriptures show us this. We're in Psalm 91:15-16. This is the psalm where you dwell in the secret place with the Lord. So relationship is key here. says, "He shall this is all the benefits of of living in his shadow, if you will, because you're you're in a relationship with the Lord." He says, "He," talking about you, "shall call upon me, him, God, and I will answer him." By the way, the King James version does not put, God, uh, he, him in capital letters. It's the only downfall about using the King James version, but I do like getting to the root meaning that is closer to the intent of the original written context. He you shall call upon me God and I God will answer you him. I will be with him in trouble. I will deliver. Look at that word deliver means pull off or draw out him and honor him. We'll get to that in a minute. With long life will I satisfy have enough him and show him my salvation. You who have a relationship with the Lord should not ever be sick. You were given long life. Look at you can become an elder. You can become like King David. He was old, so old that he had to have a they brought in like a concubine, a virgin to lay with him at night to keep him warm. Her body heat kept him warm. But he was blessed living out a very old life. That is a promise. Meaning he didn't get sick. He didn't get cancer. He didn't get heart disease. He didn't get high cholesterol or diabetes. He lived a long life because he had a relationship with the Lord and because he let go. So, and you know, he went through a lot of troubles. You can read a lot of his psalms. You can read a lot of his life in um uh the the Kings and the Chronicles in Samuel. you can find out who this man is. And he lived to be a long life. That is the kind of life we should be living. So if you're living that life, here's the most amazing part. You never have to get sick. And I've been teaching on this. So I want to show you how to do this. Now, let's delve into this a little bit better, deeper. So you call upon him. He will answer you. He will help you in trouble. He will be with you in trouble. Look at this. He's going to deliver. He's going to draw you out. Honored. Look at that. Be rich. David was rich. Abraham was rich. Lot was rich. I'm telling you, God will prepare your heart and mind it to be rich. If that's the calling he has in your life, if he wants you to have money so that you're ministering and giving it in the right key places, he will make you rich. But I promise you, it's not rich for you to uh gorge on, if you will. He He's not going to make you rich to the point where you're hottie. He won't do that to you. He prepares your heart for it. But he honors you. And he rich that word honor there means be rich. Let's read it without the the extra meanings here. He shall call upon me and I will answer him. I will be with him in trouble. I will deliver him and honor him. Then he says, "With long life will I satisfy." That word satisfy. Satisfaction is having enough. So even if you're given all of that richness, all of God's money, he prepares your heart where you know you're satisfied and it doesn't matter in your mind, I'm going to give you a million dollars. I'm going to give you $10,000. He it doesn't matter. This is how he prepares your heart for his richness. satisfy him and show him my salvation saved deliverance. You see that is what God wants to do for us. That is the blessing we have. You go to that first verse in that Psalm 91 says and uh who you seek him and dwell in the secret place with the Lord. So this also continues on a relationship with the Lord. I've been teaching this for years now. So get into the presence of the Lord and find out who he is and receive those blessings. Meaning you should not be sick. You should not be suffering in the name of Jesus the son of God. Proverbs 18:14. Look at what we do to ourselves. The spirit of a man will sustain his infirmity, but a wounded spirit who can bear. Oh my word. This is so applicable. Remember I asked in the beginning, do you want to be healed? And some people it's a conversation piece and a topic. You want to be healed and what's happening is you want to be healed. You you have an okay relationship with God. You go to church. You actually went to the elders and got prayed over but nothing happened. Why? Because your spirit, your breath, your spoken words of a man, of you sustain, keep him in his infirmity. Every time you talk about it, you you come back to it, you go back into the infirmity. Oh, I got to go back to the doctor. I'm feeling it again. Oh, it's coming back. Oh, I ran out of my pills. I Oh, you keep yourself in your infirmity. You went to the elders to get prayed expecting a miracle, but because of your words, you're sending a double message to the heavenly realm and it freezes them. They cannot heal your soul. You do not get your healing because you're sending mixed messages because you're sustaining your infirmity with your spirit, your breath, with your words. And look at this. It says but a wounded spirit who can bear. You see the soul becomes wounded and you become weak. You can't even carry you barely pray but you continue to curse yourself and then you cannot carry which when you're that weak and you cannot carry who do you give it to? You got to release it so he carries it and bears it for you. Look at this in first Peter 1:9. receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls. This is what Jesus did on the cross. He saved our souls. So, how does this work? Look at this. Receiving, you have to take care of your end goal, your faith. You have to take care of it. You saw in the previous scripture, it is your spirit that is keeping you in the infirmity. So, you have to tend to your faith. You have to take the action into your faith. to your end goal to have your faith that moral conviction for the salvation which is the rescue and the safety of your souls. So you see what's happening here. You have to set up the end goal. What do you want? Do you really want to be healed? Because you're sending mixed messages because I'm and the church is doing this too. You see what's happening is you're not seeing the power of God moving in the church. And there's actually teachers, preachers that taught that, well, that was done 2,000 years ago. It doesn't happen anymore. I call hogwash on that. Seriously, we still have healings. And I am a walking testimony of healing. I'm telling you, I used to have heart palpitations. I don't have that anymore. I put down insulin. I don't take that anymore. I don't have heart disease or anything of that nature because I started blessing my body. I went to the Lord. I asked and I'm asking him to reveal because I'm also now interceding for others. So for me to become a very good intercessor under the anointing of the Holy Spirit. I have to let go. And then I have to do it on behalf of those around me, which is the second half of this. If you're wondering why your whole family has drama, guess what? You're the lynch pin of your entire family. That drama should be gone by you. Tend to your end goal, to your faith. You need to be doing this. You have to get that self-control, a gift of the Holy Spirit. We're going to be talking about that. Let's continue to see what Jesus says about this in Matthew 10:1. And when he had called unto him his 12 disciples, he gave them power against unclean spirits to cast them out and to heal all manner of sickness and all manner of disease. To heal he had to cast out demons, which means you are influenced by demonic activity, which is what is caus you're saying these words and you're being influenced by the demonic activity sending the mixed message. You're going to the elders. You're getting prayed, but nothing is happening. You prayed, nothing is happening because mixed messages. But look at what Jesus did. And by the way, we're all disciples of Jesus Christ. Says he gave them power. Look what that word power is. Privilege. You have the privilege to heal your soul, which manifests to the healing of your body. Because once you deal with the unclean spirits, the demonic activity, it goes away and you start speaking blessings, your body manifests the healing because it now softens. You're in peace and you are under his covering in his safety. You are saved and that means sickness melts away. Oh, so powerful. So awesome. You have the privilege against look at this demonic spirits. Unclean spirits is um it's a it's like a swamp. It's dirty. It is diseasefested and you're letting it in with your words and you're sending mixed messages which is why you're not getting healed. You should be living to be 115 or 120 years old easily, but your words are what's aging you and killing you quickly. And look at this. He says, you have the privilege to cast them out. Look at what that word cast them out is. Eject, bring forth, pluck, pull, take out. Guess what? You can pluck it and pull it out of all of the drama in your family. You can pluck and pull it out of your own body. I'm no way am I going to say these words anymore. Repent. Renounce. Oh, now you're seeing the key to healing your soul, which then manifests into the healing of your body. And look, cuz see when you cast them out, it heals. What? Look. Oh, look at this word healing. Heal. Wait upon adore God. Reveal. I adore you, God. See, when you put God first and you're saying, God, I adore you, you're saying, heal my soul. And he does says all manner of sickness. Look at this word sickness. That means malady, infirmity. It also means disease. And then at the end of the scripture, and all manner of disease, this word disease means incapacity, weakness. Once you start saying the words we're going to say here very shortly, we're going to do a prayer together. I want you to see and know and understand that you will no longer be incapacitated and you will no longer be weak. Hallelujah. And you will be healed completely. So now we got to look at the fruits of the spirit because this is where things get very interesting because what we have to do now is replace those words with the words of the fruit of the spirit or with the spirit himself manifesting his gifts in us which is his fruit. Galatians 5, we're going to read verses 16- 23. I'll be breaking this up here in groups. This I say then, walk in the spirit and ye shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh. Pause. The walk. The word walk there is to live. Meaning every time you're in your home, you've got a few minutes. Lord, I love you. I praise you. I thank you. And I'm giving you the glory. And you also set aside tend to your end goal. You set aside a time where you say, I'm interceding on my behalf, Father God. I am praying over me. And we're going to get to the script uh the words we're going to pray. And you do this every time you go to the grocery store. Lord, I can't find something. I need your help. You see, you you're building a relationship with him. He's with you everywhere. You go to him first. Matthew 6:33. Seek first the kingdom of God and all these things will be added to you. You see, you have to establish the relationship, the the foundation, your tending to your goal in the in your life. And that's why he says you got to walk. You live in the spirit. And ye shall not fulfill complete the lust. What is that word lo l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l lust. It's a longing of the flesh. You long to be like a king and queen. You fantasize about it. You long to have all that money in the world. You long to have dominion and power over people. You long to bully them. you see you long. That's the flesh. So, we're clearly identifying the flesh. And he's saying if you walk, remember the the end tend to your end goal, have that relationship. You walk in the spirit, you live in the spirit, you can control that longing and you will not not have that. Let's go to verse 17. For the flesh lusted, look at it. to set the heart upon. What's more important to you? Your eternity, your healing. Do you really want to be healed? This is why I was asking the questions. You have to set your heart upon this. Do you really want to be healed? Then you've got to set your heart upon it. But your flesh is setting its heart upon against the spirit. It It's like you forget to set aside, tend to your end goal. You forget to spend time with the Lord. You got busy. you, everyone called you in your family. It was like you set this date. You go to do it and all hell breaks loose. All the disturbances come against you. That's when you have to say, "Satan, get below my feet in the name of Jesus because I'm tending to my end goal and I am moving forward and living by the spirit and I'm setting this time aside for him." You see, you have to take authority over that. You got to speak the words. So the flesh lust, it sets upon against the spirit and the spirit against the flesh. These are contrary. They're opposite the one to the other so that ye cannot do the things that you would. What was I saying earlier? You're sending mixed messages. You're letting your flesh I'm going to go to the elders and get prayed for. But if you keep bringing it up and keep talking about it, yeah, I have C. When you say these words, you're cursing your body further and further instead of saying something to the effect of, "I bless my body. I don't have cancer anymore." And you keep saying that and I promise you there will be a breakthrough in this because it is your words because you have to send the right message to the heavenly realm to have that broken through for the power and the anointing to move forward in your life, in those around you, in your church. because we got to bring back the the power of the Holy Spirit. Verse 18, but if you be led of the spirit, you're not under the law. The law, the ten commandments, no longer applies to us. Because see, that had to do with the flesh. Now we're dealing with the spirit. This is why it's very important that you go live in the spirit. Meaning, you need to set time aside. Just just because you don't kill anyone. If you said it in your mind, I'm man, I wish that guy was dead. Be so much easier. You already killed somebody. May not have done it physically, but you spoke the curse against him. That comes to haunt you because God holds you responsible for that. That's what you have to forgive. That's what you have to let go. It is those sayings that are cursing your body and manifesting into cancer, blood disease, diabetes, heart disease, high cholesterol. All of that stuff is coming in because of words you said. Thought or you may not even say you may have just thought God holds you responsible because we're not dealing with the law. We're dealing with the spirit. Now, this is to the healing of your soul and body. Do you want to be healed? then you're going to need some self-control. We're going to be showing that here in just a moment. Look at this. Now, the works of the flesh are manifest. The word manifest means shining or apparent. By the way, if I see you suffering with cancer, I now know that you are dealing with some sort of unforgiveness, some sort of curse that is against you, some sort of anger, envy, jealousy, anything like that is against you because you're dealing with that. You haven't let it go. So, it's apparent. It's shiny. I can see it. And and of course others can see it too, but some may not recognize what it is. But I recognize it only because I spend time with the Lord and I live in the Lord. You will do that too when you tend to your end goal and put God as your priority in your life and set apart time to live with him. Uh now the works of the flesh are manifest. Which are these? Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, that word variance means to quarrel, emulations, there's your jealousy, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, envys, drunkenness, rebelling, that's causing riots, and such like of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God. The kingdom of God is healing of the soul. You cannot be healed if you continue to walk in adultery, fornication, uncleanness. You see, you pleasure the self before you set a tithe and tend to your end goal with the spirit and live for God. Your priorities are mixed and that's why you're not getting healed. You're sending those mixed signals. Galatians five. Now we're in verse 22. But the fruit plucked. I love that. Of the spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, that's moral excellence, goodness, faith, meekness, humility, temperance, self-control. Against such there is no law. This is now the spirit. This is the things you should manifest in your spirit. one, you should be manifesting good health. You should be healthy all the way through. So, what you do is you're going to pluck out the fruit. You're going to pluck the fruit from the Holy Spirit. I'm going to get some love and I'm going to take a bite. I'm going to partake of the Holy Spirit's love, joy, peace. These are the words you say instead of, "Oh, have you heard about my cancer problem lately?" You see what I'm saying? You don't have cancer. You say, "Have you noticed how much the Lord has given me to love? He is building my love. He is building my joy. I'm not grieving anymore. I'm letting it go." And when you share the testimonies with others, you're speaking the words. You're telling the spirit realm, you're telling the spirit, you're telling God, you're telling angels, you're telling demons. You are manifesting the fruit of the spirit which is the healing to your soul and your body cuz there it's not the law. It's not part of the law. It's part of the spirit and it begins with the relationship with the Lord and living for him. Look it now Psalm 103 2 through3. Bless the Lord, oh my soul, and forget not all his benefits. Who forgiveth all thine iniquities? whose who health all who health all thy diseases. We'll read this here with the definitions in just a moment. But do you see the first word here? Bless that is kneel and adore. It starts with humbling yourself before the Lord and repent. Renounce you're putting the Lord first. You're making you're tending to your end goal. Your end goal is to be healed. You want to be healed. Your end goal is to have this body walk in good health. Well, it has to mean you have to take care of your soul and then it will manifest into the flesh. It starts with humbling. Kneel, adore. That's blessing God. Bless the Lord. Kneel before the Lord. Oh my soul. Your soul is your vitality, your consciousness. You see, even in your weakest moment, oh Lord, I bless you. You can even whisper. He hears you. He hears every word you say. And forget not all his benefits. Benefits are treatments. Do you see this? The word treatments is benefits. That's to the healing of your body. You get treatment from cancer. You can call it uh what do they call that? Radiation treatment. How about God treatment? I went and got some God treatment today. And boy, I adore him even more because he healed me. Do you see the manifestation of this? This is awesome. Who forgiveth, he pardons all thine iniquities. You see, your iniquities must be pardoned. Must be forgiven in order for the manifestation of your soul to be healed and your body to be walking in good health. Look at this. All thine iniquities in is perversity. You're sending mixed messages to God. You're living in the world and you're living in God. You're trying to do both. No, you have to set him first as a priority. Who? Health. I love that because the the King James version uses the word health here and it is to mend or by stitching. It's a cure. It's a physician like a doctor who the doctor god doctor all thine diseases which are malady grievous it's sorrow look at that he is sending the physician him to deal with your grief your sorrow any sicknesses any diseases that is the treatment that did you see that that's the benefits forget not all that's his benefit that's his treatment for you you get to have that when you humble yourself and you get into that forgiveness. Now, when you don't, watch this. Psalm 32:es 3-5. When I kept silence, my bones waxed old through my roaring all the day long. Stop. Oh, watch this. This is how this is what you're doing right now. You're not healed right now. You're going to be, but you're not. I want you to see this. You're going to be says, "When I kept silence, look at this. To be deaf, dumb." What is it that we die? Most of lack of knowledge. Hosea, you can go read this. I think it's 46 or 64. But you die from lack of knowledge because you're dumb. You're deaf. You're you're not hearing the word of God because you're not opening up the Bible to see the word. You're not putting aside. You're not living in him. You're not making him a priority. You're sending mixed messages. And I'm talking to the believer, the unbeliever. We just got to start with forgiveness and then we'll move on from there. But you got to live and put God first in your life. That's very important. But look what happens when you keep silent because you're you're being deaf. You're being dumb. Says, "My bones wax old. They get frail and they decay. They're aging, but they're aging faster." And this is why people die in their 30s, 40s, 50s, especially believers in Christ, because they're not letting go. And he says, "Through my roaring, your words grumbling." Oh man, I got to go back to that darn doctor. these bones. They just I hate these bones. I wish I had other B. You see what happens when you're speaking that against your body. You just cursed yourself and you've been doing it all this time. Well, I'm telling you, you can stop because forget not all his benefits, his treatments. You live with him first. You humble yourself. We're going to say some a prayer here all the day long because you do this all the time. all the day long. Verse four, for day and night thy hand was heavy upon me. My moisture is turned into the drought of summer. Look at the hand here. Hand is your power and direction. So God's power and direction was burdensome upon him because he couldn't do what God was asking him to do because he kept cursing himself, kept saying the words. And in fact, it was so it was manifesting so much that the moisture in his body dried up. That's um uh insulin, diabetes. That's diabetes. What happens to your skin? It gets real dry when you're not absorbing the insulin from your body from whatever the foods your cells are are not getting it through. By the way, take some Celtic salt. Seriously, just take a pinch of it three times a day and drink a lot of water with it. Your insulin and your um the magnesium in there goes into the cells. It opens it up and allows your cells to draw all that in and it just stabilizes. God gives us all the herbs of the earth, salt of the earth, everything he gives us to heal our bodies. Can you believe that? So, we can be healed and living already through the herbs. So here he's saying though moisture is turned into drought. It's because God is he's sending mixed messages and God is being heavy on him. He's telling him I can lift this off of you but you got to let it go. Oh that is absolutely powerful. Verse uh five now I acknowledge my sin. So here now he said I was dried I dried up had diabetes whatever it is because of what he was saying. He wasn't letting go. Now he's saying, "You were heavy on me, Lord. Listen. I'm going to acknowledge my sin unto thee, and mine iniquity have I not hid. I said, I will confess my transgressions unto the Lord. Thou forgavest the iniquity of my sins. Say li." Oh, this man, he's saying, "In my testimony, I gave it to God. I confess it." Look at how he says it. He knew by seeing. He saw the iniquity. He saw what his flesh was doing. He says, "Uhoh, I acknowledge. I see what's happening." So that's my sin. It's an offense. It's a habit I've had. And look what he says unto thee. I sinned against you, heavenly father. And I was habitually doing it. And mine iniquity, the perversity of what I had in me is what was called. I was sending mixed messages. I partially live for God or I wasn't living for God at all, but I was living in perversity, iniquity, and that was causing me to get sick. And he says, "But now I have not hid it." And look, I will confess. Look what that word confess means. This is Old Testament. Hold out revere or worship with extended hands. Oh heavenly father, I worship you. I confess my sins. Open hands. This is very powerful. Well, you guys got to get this. My transgressions, I'm rebelling against you, Father God. And I'm opening my hand saying, "I'm not going to do it anymore. I'm not hiding it from you. I'm letting go of the mixed messages. I'm letting go of the curses that I've been speaking uh my transgressions unto the Lord. I'm letting go, giving it to you, the Lord. and you forgave. You lifted you ease the iniquity of my sin. He's still aging, but he's no longer dry. He's in good health because see, the Bible says everyone's appointed to die once. That's Hebrews 9:27. Well, then we're going to die, but we don't have to die that early. We get to live a ripe old age because of his benefits, because we repent. Look at Romans 10:13, Acts 2:21, and Joel 2:32. This is what I was saying at the beginning of the message. For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. That word whosoever, anyone declining, that's anyone. You killed someone, you can call on the name of the Lord. You lied, you're cursing yourself, you can call upon the name of the Lord. Whatever sin, it doesn't matter. You live in sin. Everybody lives in sin. Everyone has fallen short of the glory of God. Well, here it says, "Anyone declining shall call upon." You're entitled to invoke. What? Are you entitled to invoke the name of the Lord? You're a sinner and you get to say, "I call on the name of Jesus, the son of God, and I will be saved. I'm safe and delivered." This is so powerful. It is said three times in the scripture. Acts 2:21, "And it shall come to pass that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved." Those words mean the exact same words in verse 13 of Romans 10. And look at Joel 2:32. This is the Old Testament. And it shall come to pass that whosoever, look at the whole, t Previous Next Home

RELEASING THE BLESSINGS The objective of this message is to teach believers the importance of self-control, love, and the power of their words in releasing blessings instead of curses. It encourages Christians to remain within God’s hedge of protection by walking in the Spirit, applying the fruit of the Spirit, and learning to bless others even in difficult circumstances. The ultimate goal is to show how releasing blessings activates God’s favor, shields believers from spiritual attacks, and produces joy and peace in their lives. < Back RELEASING THE BLESSINGS Minister Lisa Kane August 7, 2022 Objective: The objective of this message is to teach believers the importance of self-control, love, and the power of their words in releasing blessings instead of curses. It encourages Christians to remain within God’s hedge of protection by walking in the Spirit, applying the fruit of the Spirit, and learning to bless others even in difficult circumstances. The ultimate goal is to show how releasing blessings activates God’s favor, shields believers from spiritual attacks, and produces joy and peace in their lives. Synopsis: In “Releasing the Blessings” (August 7, 2022), Lisa Kane opens with Luke 6:27–31, where Jesus instructs us to love our enemies, bless those who curse us, and pray for those who mistreat us. She highlights how natural human reactions often lean toward retaliation when wronged—whether in personal conflicts, workplace challenges, or even simple road rage. Yet, Christ calls His followers to respond differently, guided by the Spirit rather than the flesh. Through the parable of the wheat and tares in Matthew 13:26–30, Lisa explains that both Christians and non-Christians face trials such as loss, injustice, and hardships. The difference lies in how believers handle them—with peace, faith, and endurance. Using examples from modern life, she illustrates how choosing to bless instead of curse disarms anger and opens the way for God’s blessings to return. Proverbs 18:21 reinforces this principle: life and death are in the power of the tongue. Lisa emphasizes the role of the Holy Spirit in producing self-control and other fruits (Galatians 5:23–26). In the secret place with God, believers can crucify the flesh, align with righteousness, and learn to speak blessings that transform both themselves and others. She reminds us that hatred from the world is often directed at God, not just us, and urges Christians to respond with love and blessing as representatives of Christ. The message closes by affirming God’s promises of protection and favor (Psalm 5:11–12, Isaiah 45:7–8). Lisa encourages believers to be intentional in releasing blessings over people, places, and circumstances, trusting that God has already secured the victory. The prayer at the end invites listeners to repent, receive self-control, and walk in the Spirit, blessing others as a testimony of God’s love. Inspired Teaching: Hello and welcome to the House of Faith Ministries. I'm Lisa Kane. I'm recording this on Sunday, August 7, 2022. Welcome. This message is called Releasing the Blessings. Amen. Let's open up in a word of prayer. Father God, we bless this message and we thank you for your blessing upon it. Let it feed our spirits. Let it nourish us. Let us run with it, walk with it, apply it, and let that seed just grow into a beautiful nurtured tree. Thank you, Father God, for giving us the character traits of self-control and to bless your name and to bless to release our blessings. In the name of Jesus, we pray. Thank you, Father God. Amen. All right, let's go to our opening scriptures here. We're going to be looking at Luke chapter 6 verses 27 through31. But I say to you who hear, love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, and pray for those who spitefully use you. To him who strikes you on one's cheek, offer the other also. And from him who takes away your cloak, do not withhold your tunic either. Give to everyone who asks of you. And from him who takes away your goods, do not ask them back. and just as you want men to do to you, you also do to them likewise. Okay, so we've got a very interesting set of scriptures here that we want to talk about. So what I want to show you is something that has to do with not only a character trait and in a physical sense, meaning somebody slaps you, what do you do when you do when you get slapped? But at the same time, I want to talk about what's in the spiritual part of this because I think the unknown factor might be holding things back for you. So, I want I want to show you some things here. So, one of the things I want you to realize here is, you know, we saw the recent um Will Smith slap on Chris Rock. And Chris, I think, was more shocked than anything and didn't do anything. Okay, I get that. Uh but at the same time, what is the one thing you want to do when somebody hurts you? You want to attack back and hurt them. You want them to hurt as much as they hurt you. So, let's say you're driving, you get cut off by somebody, but that person is oblivious. They have no idea that they cut you off. You want to make sure that they know, but in reality, they'll never know because one, unless you guys confront each other and pull over and deal with it that way, no matter how much you get in front of them, hit your brakes, stop, do whatever you're going to do, they're thinking you're weird because they have no idea what happened. So, there's a disconnect here. But the one thing that is solid is your emotions. Oh, now we're getting somewhere. You know what? H how do you deal with something like that? And and there there's a a a powerful principle here that I want to show you that involves your words that's going to change the dynamics of that kind of stuff attacking you that they're oblivious to but you're not. Oh, this is very, very good. Okay. So, what I want to show you next is some scriptures that's going to make things hopefully a little more open and understanding here. So, watch this. We're we're in Matthew. We're going to read verses 13, chapter 13:es 26-30. But when the grain had sprouted and produced a crop, then the tears also appeared. So, the servants of the owner came and said to him, "Sir, did you not sew good seed in your field? How then does it have tears?" He said to them, "An enemy has done this." The servant said to him, "Do you want us to go and gather them up?" But he said, "No, lest while you gather up the tears, you also uproot the wheat with them. Let both grow together until the harvest, and at the time of harvest, I will say to the reapers, first gather together the tears, and bind them in bundles to burn them, but gather the wheat into my barn." Okay, so here is where things get very interesting. Christians and non-Christians all deal with the same thing. We all deal with loss of life. We all deal with loss of jobs. We all deal with no food. We all deal with high prices, bad economy. We are all dealing with the same situation. Bad bosses, bad co-workers, family members who aren't the best. You deal with these things. and how do you deal with them? So, that's the key here. That's what makes the difference between a Christian and a non-Christian because a Christian is going to deal with it differently. In fact, there's going to be people out there. I mean, look at martyrs. You know, when there were a whole bunch that were being martyed over there in the Middle East just recently, they were singing songs, standing in line, and just walking to their death. It just blows my mind away. I sit there sometimes wondering, "Wow, I hope if I ever face that situation that I can do the honor of doing that." Uh, not all of us are called to be martyrs. But you can only hope that you would have some spirit that just takes hold of you that is like that and you're at peace about the whole thing. And in in an instance, that's what kind of this message is about is grabbing hold of that peace and that joy that when someone cuts you off, Amen. may the Lord bless you. Here's the thing. It comes down to love. And we're going to be talking about the power of the tongue here, but it all comes down to the root of love. And even in the last message, I talked about being in the hedge of protection. Uh, and it came down to the root of love because what Jesus did was love. And he keeps us in there. Now, the door can open and close, and as sheep, we can wander out, but when you wander out, you wander out into territory that is unknown to you. You do not know what the enemy is doing to you out there. So what do you do? You stay within the hedge of protection, which means you give it to God. And that takes a lot of self-control. So I want to elaborate further on that last message I taught and go into this one where we're going to talk about the power of your words. And we're going to speak into that blessing. So here you are dealing with the same thing. You people get cut off all the time. There is road rage that makes the news almost daily. So you you can imagine these people are so upset. They want to hurt you. They want to kill you. They want to do this because that spirit of anger got in them and it raged them, enraged them. They just went nuts. So, what I want to do is I want to teach you how to not let that get a hold of you, but teach you how to have that self-control and how to use your words. Because think of it this way, we already know how the end is going to happen, right? So, we know that revelation is coming. We know that there is a seven-year tribulation period. That's horrible. We do not want anyone to live through that. It is really unfortunate because that's what's going to happen for those that reject Jesus. They're going to be stuck here. They're already going to deal with hell on earth and then an eternity of hell if they don't repent. That's just simple fact of the matter. So in essence, if you stay inside that hedge of protection and let God deal with them, he's got a better fitting punishment for them than anything you could ever do. And that kind of if you put that into your front mind when you're dealing with the situation, that helps you. It helps you deal with the situation because it helps you say, "All right, I got to just bless this person." Because see, when you release a blessing, the blessings come back. Look at the power of the tongue. Look at what happens here. Proverbs 18:21, "Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruit." Now, it could be good fruit or bad fruit. Notice it didn't say because it all comes down to death and life how much you want to kill that person. You see, the moment you change it up, the moment you suddenly open up a you open up a door either way, but whether you're going to open up the door for a curse, if you're after them because you want to hurt them as much as you're just going to put more hurt on you, it just comes right back at you. Because God is in control and God loves people and he loves even the ones that make mistakes. That includes you and me. You see how the love of God plays a role in here? So, how do we do this? Because we're angry, we're hurt, we want to hurt these people, but no, we got to let it go. And the moment you bless them, you see what happens is there's a scenario at my work that I'm dealing with right now and I want to go deal with it myself. This is actually one of the reasons why it led to the message of hedge of protection last uh two weeks ago when I taught that message and it really was a very big eye opener because I thought I could deal with the situation myself. But as I got more aware of what was going on, it's just the weirdest things. It it and anytime you have to use the word weird in the situation, it's spiritual always. That's that's a red flag right there. It's a spiritual matter, you know. It has to do with our air conditioning and and we're I mean it's 12:28 here on Sunday, August 7, 2022 and it's 103 degrees outside. When it was 10:00 this morning, it hit 97. I was like, uhoh. So, we got all the fans and air conditioners running right now. So, but at work, you walk into the building and half the building is 10 degrees warmer than the other half. But I'm told adamantly it's working. And then They open the doors to let air in. Why would you do that if it's working? Do you see what I'm saying? So once it dawned on me that I'm dealing with a spiritual matter, now I go into the secret place with the Lord and I start telling on them basically. But what I have learned that if I bless them, you know what's going to happen is that blessing is going to come back on me. It opens the door. So in essence, here's a great example. I'm blessing them. I'm just like, Lord, bless them. Let them get a promotion. Let them get this. Let them get that. What happens is either they move on and they go away and somebody new comes in, actually fixes it. Splatters on me. I get it fixed eventually. Whenever, however that happens, it's all in God's timing. But see, I'm letting the Lord deal with it. But I'm doing my part by releasing the blessings. You got to capture this. Now, I know it's difficult. So, what you have to do is in that secret place when you're spending time with the Lord, because now we're talking about righteous living, this is challenging. And unless you're living in the secret place with the Lord, you're probably not even understanding anything I'm saying. And you're probably not even getting how to even apply it to yourself. Well, in that secret place, you need to do something. Look at what the Holy Spirit will give you if you ask. Galatians 5, look at we're going to read verses 23 through 26. But the fruit of the spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law. I'll get back to the rest of the scriptures here. There's no law. The law has been fulfilled by those principles. They can't put a law in place that tells you you must be nice. It is something that comes within. And unless you ask the Holy Spirit for for it, your morals have no meaning. If you think that, well, if I just treat this person good and I treat that person good, I can't treat that person good. He's evil. You see, your moral compass doesn't cover things. Especially when you're judging on the surface. Oh, look at him. He's got to be evil. You know, he's got tattoos, long beard. He's got to be mean, ugly, evil. No. Don't ever judge a book by its cover. So here you are now operating in the spirit not in the law. So in that secret place you ask the Holy Spirit to say I need more love because I need to love your people. You love that guy. You love that guy. I don't know how but I'm going to ask you to help me love them too. I'm going to ask you to help me have some self-control because I got people hurting me. And here's the thing is you got people cursing you. You don't even know it. In fact, sometimes it's just your neness because you're a believer in Christ and you're pleasant and all hell is breaking loose. You're fully aware of it. But the one thing you are not aware of is that person's looking at you going that she must be sick. She must be wrong because how could she be nice in a situation like this, you see? And that's a curse. So here in the secret place with the Lord is when you start asking the Lord, come bring me some self-control. Help me control my tongue. Let's continue on here. Look what it says in verse 24. And those who are Christ have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. You see in that secret place, that's what you're doing as you're crucifying your flesh, saying you're not in control flesh, but the spirit is. Holy Spirit, have your will with me. Come into my mind. And see, you're speaking the words. This is the power of the tongue. You're blessing your spirit with the Holy Spirit. You're saying, "Lord, I need the Holy Spirit self-control. I bless myself with self-control. I receive self-control. I bless myself with joy. I bless myself with love. Do you see what's happening here? Because now you're changing yourself in the secret place with the Lord and initiating that righteousness which you've already done because you've got into the secret place with the Lord with his word. Soon as you open up the Bible and you're in his presence with the word, you are activating righteousness. And as soon as you're repenting and you're getting right with God, here's how to build your your seed to germinate into that beautiful tree that you could be. Well, this is how you do it. You start asking for these things because you know what? I'm going to tell you right now, the world has no self-control. They hate you because you're nice. They hate you because you're mean. They just hate you. They will hate you no matter what. Especially if you're better than them at things, they will hate you. You know why? Because they hate God and you represent God and they are going to hate and hate, it doesn't matter. They're just going to hate. Do you see that? So if they're going to hate God and you're representing God, they're going to hate you. So you might as well say, "Okay, well then in that case, I'm going to have self-control and I'm going to bless you." Because see, here's the thing. God, that person's life matters to God just as much as your life matters to God. He loves him. He wants him just as much as he wanted you. So, you have to go in and say, "All right, Lord. I'm going to bless him. Bless him with a better job. Bless him uh to do his job and to do it well. Thank you, Lord." You see, it's hard. I'm going tell you right now, it's hard. Look at the rest of those scriptures, though. Uh verse 25. If we live in the spirit, let us also walk in the spirit. And you see now as you spend time with God, now God is spirit. So when you spend time with God, you start letting the spirit mature, grow, strengthen, and the flesh weakens. It gets subdued. And it it's awesome because yeah, when all hell's breaking loose, you can say, "Yeah, I got a piece." and it does surpass all understanding. Amen. Look at the rest of this verse 26. Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another. Look at envying. And that's exactly what I'm talking about. These people hate you because they're envious of what you have, who you are. And they're hating God, not you per se. You just happen to represent God at that moment. And when you represent God, Yeah. They're going to hate you because they hate God. So, this is where you come in with your self-control and have it in the forefront of your mind that you are in a spiritual matter. You cannot see them cursing. You don't hear, you know, they're in the secret. They're they're in that darkness and they're like, "Man, that woman, oh, she's so I wish." Yeah. You see, those are the curses. But they're saying that to themselves out loud to the spirit. And the spirit tries to attack God's anointed. And guess what? You don't mess with God's anointed because guess what? It tries to hit and bounces right off and goes right back on you. And you deal with curse. So as a believer in Christ, if you're wondering why all hell is breaking loose, have you checked your words lately? might be something you're saying that you shouldn't be saying. And that goes for everybody. Everybody, a believer, non-believer, a pastor. We're all flesh and blood. And until we enter the eternity in our spirit, we have to deal with that. These are things we have to deal with. So, the best way to do it is to be in the secret place with the Lord. And once you're there, ask the spirit to give you self-control, to give you the right words to say how to bless these people. Amen. And you know what? I'm more preaching to myself than you guys. I'm going tell you that right now. And I'm receiving. Hallelujah. Psalm 5 11 and 12. But let all those rejoice who put their trust in you. And this is where things get very interesting. I used the scripture in the last message as well. Trust. How do you trust in the Lord? Well, remember his prophecies are true. His word is true. It's been around for centuries and it is powerful. The moment you become a believer, that that awareness comes into place. It is hard. If you're a non-believer, once you ask Jesus to forgive you of your sins, the the eyes open up and all of a sudden you're realizing, you know what, God is real. Okay? And and and you have this understanding that he is truly there. And it it gets difficult because as you've been raised, maybe you haven't been raised in a Christian home. And even if in a Christian home, there's trust issues that take place, abuses that take place. And oh, it's hard to trust. But when you get in the secret place with the Lord, and I'm not talking church, I'm talking you and God time. And it's not just a daily devotional. It it is that time where you you pour out everything to God and you read his word. And in fact, as you're reading the word throughout the week, whatever it is you're dealing with, you're going to find everywhere you open the word, God is talking to you. And every scripture heals you. Oh, that's beautiful, beautiful, beautiful. But let all those rejoice who put their trust in you. Let them ever shout for joy because you defend them. Now that's another thing is as you curse these people, God's defending them because he loves them just as much as he loves you. And he's defending you as much as he is them. But he will release those curses on you. And you will be dealing with all hell breaking loose on earth. Especially, it could be one day you just wake up and it is bad. You're on the wrong, it was the wrong side of the bed. Maybe you should have stayed home. Who knows? But you've got you get a flat tire. You break down or you your boss starts yelling at you. It wasn't even you. It was somebody else. Just all hell breaks loose. Somebody breaks into your checking account, steals a few hundred bucks. uh all hell breaks and that's usually a spiritual manner and that is because the Lord's trying to get your attention and that's when you tell the devil get below my feet and then you go to God and repent and say I'm sorry Lord help me see what I'm doing and it's usually the words are you blessing or are you cursing and in order to correct yourself need some self-control which means you need the Holy Spirit how do you get the Holy Spirit spirit. Spend time with God. God is spirit. And the more you're spending time with him and in the word, you're receiving the spirit. Amen. Let those also who love your name be joyful in you. And that's another thing as as you see this and you're dealing with everything that is going on, you get to have a joy because all of a sudden you're realizing, well, God loves him just as much as he loves me. And it's like he could be in heaven with me. And yeah, that's a wakeup call for some people. Imagine if Hitler had asked God to forgive him before he went. Jesus is so merciful. You might walk into heaven. Hitler might be there. This is why we don't think of these things or can't think of them. But what we can do is say God loves that person just as much as me and that person has a right to get to heaven just as much as me. Which means I better bless that person if I want blessings on me. Simple truth of the matter, right? All fact truth. Verse 12. For you, oh Lord, will bless the righteous with favor. You will surround him as with a shield. There it is. You're when you're spending time with God in that secret place and you've activated righteousness, he defends you. He's that shield, that hedge of protection around you because you don't know what the enemy is saying in the dark. You don't know what curses are coming at you. I mean, even Chris Rock, when Will Smith walked up to him and slapped him, he didn't think he was going to do that. So, you see, you don't know when you're getting slapped in the spirit. I mean, in today's world, we don't really have people coming up and slapping people. And I mean, you see on the news occasionally that people are attacking people, but at the same time, you spend time in that secret place, you've got this hedge of protection around you, both physically and spiritually, and these things won't be happening to you because you're spending time in righteousness with the Lord. But that's a choice you have to make. You have to decide if that's something you want to do or not. And you know, part of it is, do you even know who God is? You know, sometimes we don't get into that secret place with the Lord and activate that righteousness cuz do I really believe he's God? Do I really believe he's real? Look what he says in Isaiah. This is God talking. This is very powerful. Isaiah 45:7 and 8. I form the light, create darkness. I make peace and create calamity. I the Lord do all these things. Rain down you heavens from above and let the skies pour down righteousness. Let the earth open. Let them bring forth salvation and let righteousness spring up together. I the Lord have created it. The Lord created righteousness. Now if you read that entire chapter and here I am. I'm not giving it all to you. I'm not going to spoon feed you these scriptures. You need to go do some homework. read that whole chapter. It is about a guy named Cyrus, but it was written like a thousand years before Cy I and I could be wrong. A thousand years, 100 years, I don't remember the exact time, but it was well before Cyrus was born. And I think it was a thousand years, but you can Google that. You can look it up, research it, figure it out because I want you to start getting to know the word of God. Cyrus was a king of Babylon. I don't remember the the country. again. I want you to go and do your homework. But he is approaching Israel to conquer it. Priest comes out and he starts reading that very chapter talking to this guy whose name is Cyrus. And Cyrus just kind of chuckles like, "Did I just hear from God?" Yes, he did. So God is talking to Cyrus, but he's also talking to the world. To know him is to realize he not only created light, he created darkness, he created righteousness. And remember what he's doing, his whole purpose, his whole plan is to deal with sin and put an end to it. And that's in Daniel, that's in Isaiah, that's in some of the smaller prophets. you. Again, these are scriptures that if you were spending time with the Lord, you would know this because he would show it to you. So, this takes a matter of effort on your part, which then also takes a matter of effort on your part to have that self-control because the first thing you want to do is spew out a curse. Well, it's time to start spewing out blessings. Amen. Let us bless one another. Let us bless one another. I'm going to tell you right now, you start blessing the the buildings. You start blessing the weather. You start blessing your co-workers, your family members, and you start spreading blessings. And imagine if the whole world was blessing one another. Oh my goodness. We wouldn't be having it the situations we have right now. I'm telling you. And that's a guarantee. But people don't want to bless again. They hate they hate you because you represent God. So we do have an active enemy in the world and they are going after God. So if you represent God, they will hate you and that's the end of that. But I'm going to tell you right now, you can stand with God and know that he already won because you know the end. He has the victory. Amen. Amen. Amen. All right, let us close in prayer. And I want you to say this prayer out loud with me because I want you to bring in that self-control into your heart. Dear Jesus, I ask you to forgive me of my sins. Come into my heart and be my Lord and Savior. I ask you to fill my heart with joy, with self-control, with loving kindness, with goodness, with peace. Thank you, Father God, for filling me up and and I ask you to give me the right words to bless those around me and to bless the atmosphere around me. Father God, thank you for that strength and thank you for teaching me how to bless and to live a life where I'm blessing others in the name of Jesus. Amen. Amen. God bless you. Uh we won't be bringing out another message until September. And that is because we're going on vacation. So we'll be gone for a couple of weeks here in August. And August 27th, I believe it is, is uh the youth the next youth service. Yeah, August 27th. And that will be at the mission church in downtown LA. If you're welcome to join us there starts 700 p.m. And uh that will be the next live teaching that my dad will do. I'll probably get that up on the 28th. So that will be the the next message that we bring in, but my next message will be in September. God bless you and enjoy and I'll see you in the next message. Bye-bye. Previous Next Home

THE PEACE THAT SURPASSES ALL UNDERSTANDING To teach believers how to experience and walk in the supernatural peace of God that transcends human understanding, especially in turbulent and uncertain times. The message aims to equip listeners with scriptural truths, historical examples, and practical application, so they may remain steadfast, confident, and at rest in Christ while recognizing God’s sovereign plan unfolding in the world. < Back THE PEACE THAT SURPASSES ALL UNDERSTANDING Minister Lisa Kane November 13, 2022 Objective: To teach believers how to experience and walk in the supernatural peace of God that transcends human understanding, especially in turbulent and uncertain times. The message aims to equip listeners with scriptural truths, historical examples, and practical application, so they may remain steadfast, confident, and at rest in Christ while recognizing God’s sovereign plan unfolding in the world. Synopsis: In this teaching, Lisa Kane explores Philippians 4:7–9 as the foundation for understanding God’s peace. She highlights Paul’s example of living free in spirit despite physical bondage, showing that true peace is rooted in Christ rather than circumstances. Drawing parallels from biblical history—such as Israel’s deliverance from Egypt and the rejection of Christ in His day—Lisa emphasizes that God often works through the separation of two groups: those who trust Him and those who resist Him. She connects these truths to current world events, including political upheaval, prophetic fulfillment in Israel, and end-time signs foretold by Jesus in Matthew 24, Luke 21, and Mark 13. Despite troubling circumstances, believers are called to focus on eternity, walk in righteousness, and live in confidence that God’s plan is advancing. The message explains the mystery of death, the rapture, and the power of baptism as symbolic of dying to sin and living in newness of life. Lisa stresses the importance of nourishing the Word of God like a seed, so it grows into spiritual maturity and peace. She also addresses the vital role of confession and the spoken word in aligning with God’s promises, binding and loosing in spiritual authority, and casting burdens onto the Lord. Through personal testimony, biblical teaching, and prophetic insight, the message reassures listeners that God’s peace is available and powerful. By humbling themselves, casting cares on Him, and standing in faith, believers can overcome fear, frustration, and deception, setting a testimony of peace for the world to witness in these last days. Inspired Teaching: Hello and welcome to the House of Faith Ministries. I'm Lisa Kane. I'm recording this on Sunday, November 13, 2022. And this message is called the peace that surpasses all understanding. Let's open up in a word of prayer. Father God, we bless this word and we thank you for your blessing on it. Oh, let it penetrate our hearts and minds. Let us believe, receive, apply, and live your word. Thank you for the power of your word. And thank you, Jesus, for coming and dying on the cross for our sins and showing us this powerful peace that we have in spite of your return that we can be here in peace and know that our eyes are focused on you and have that confidence in you, Lord. Thank you, Father God. In the glorious name of Jesus, we pray. Amen. Amen. Amen. Let's go into our opening scripture here in Philippians 4:es 7 and 9. And the peace of God which surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. The things which you learned and received and heard and saw in me these do and the God of peace will be with you. Paul wrote those words and Paul was a very determined man of God. He set an example for us and you can see what he says here. He clearly says it. Look at you know the things you which you learned and received and heard and saw in me these do. So he said, I set an example here. You know, he came to the point in his life where he was content even in bondage because he wasn't in bondage. He was always free in his mind and in his heart. And that is what I'm going to teach you today because we are in some very interesting times. And I want to show you some mystery in relation to these times because you know I have been telling everyone look at our current US election results here and I've been telling everyone around me there isn't going to be a red wave and the demons are going to win everything back because we need evil in power for the return of the Lord. And because we saw Matthew 24's beginning scriptures, Luke 21, Mark 13, the beginning set of scriptures that Jesus prophesied about, rumors of wars, wars, large earthquakes in various places, famines, pestilences, COVID that those prophecies came fulfilled in our lifetime, in our we saw it. I'm a I witnessed that and I testified to that. Amen. And each person who saw that knows. Now, in that context, Jesus said, "This generation shall not pass away." So, for all you folks out there that says, "Well, one, there's no rapture. And two, it hasn't happened in the last 2,000 years." Well, because that prophecy took place, it's going to be in our generation. And because the everything's in place for it as well, you know, the nation of Israel is the nation of Israel again. So, you can see everything played out. it I mean it's prophesied to the minute detail in such a way that you can see it and you know there is no doubt here. Okay. So I want to show you some scriptures because you need to know this and you need to have a piece about it because I'm going to tell you it gets extremely frustrating knowing that you did what you were supposed to do. You prayed, you fasted, you said, "Lord, this there's evil in in our leadership. What Lord intervene, intervene." And then there's others that just want to take action with their own hands. And it gets extremely frustrating. But let's remember Bible. Let's remember the history here. Egypt, God hardened Pharaoh's heart. Moses and Aaron were in the presence of the Pharaoh and tell and showing signs and wonders and this man still refused to let his people go because God interveneed. And then and notice there were two groups of people. We have two groups of people today. So you had the Egyptians who did not believe in God. You had the Israelites, the nation of Israel, who did believe in God and God separated them. God pulled the nation of Israel out into the wilderness. And the Egyptians because they rejected God, which you know, this was God's purpose. God said, "I harden Pharaoh's heart." He did it on purpose. He killed them all with the water in the uh Red Sea and that separated the nation of Israel and Egypt permanently because we know that the nation of Israel wanted to go back. We also know that in Jesus' day you had two groups of people and that was very interesting because you had the group that was crucifying Jesus, the nation of Israel rejecting him and then you had his followers and you saw the the change take place. the the veil was torn in two and you saw the one group get rejected and you know they went into like the nation of Israel kind of just shut down. I mean they they have their seven years still left. Remember revelation is coming that is for the nation of Israel that is not for the bride of Christ. So but God created two things. He he took the representation of God from himself, from the nation of Israel, put it on Jesus, and Jesus said, "Here, bride, you do this." So, I've been teaching on this now for several messages. So, this has happened, and that's what we're living in right now, where we have mercy and grace because of what Jesus did. He redeemed us. And again, two groups of people. So that generation that uh rejected Messiah, that generation that rejected God and letting his people go, well, they're known for that. What do you think this generation's going to be known for? They're going to be known for missing the boat because they're going to go into the seven-year tribulation because they did not repent. So you've got again the two groups of people here and one group can't control the other group because God is doing this. So how do you get your mind wrapped around that? Because I'm telling you these are very odd times. So, and and to reaffirm the word of God and its truth because, you know, when I was putting this message together, this part was so strongly in me. It's like I need to share it. So, let's look at this because this is going to build our confidence and assurance in the word of God in what's coming. Okay, that's what this is about. Watch the scriptures here. Look at this. Uh, I did not change a scripture. Let's go here. Here we go. Hebrews 9:27. And as it is appointed for men to die once, but after this the judgment. Okay, so one of the things that people struggle with and this remember I talked about a healthy theological debate about who the two witnesses are and stuff like this. Well, there's a mystery behind death. Okay. So, for those of you who still think that the rapture is not going to happen, that the word rapture is not in the Bible, the word caught up is, and in context is caught up with Jesus in the clouds, very very clearly spoken and very easy words to understand in the translations from Latin from Greek to Latin. Uh that's where the rapura Latin means caught up. Now, the Greek word is harpo, and it is a more powerful word because it says in the nick of time. It really is very applicable to what's going on. But the key here is, okay, if everyone's appointed to die once, and you're about to build your faith, watch, learn, look at, listen to this revelation. What about the people that change in the twinkling of an eye? They don't die. What about Enoch and Elijah who didn't die? Oh, let's reveal the mystery because I want you to have your faith built up here and see the return of Christ and have that knowledge because you need the confidence and assurance to have this peace that surpasses all understanding. Look at this scripture about believers in Christ. These are the ones that are going to get caught up with the Lord. Watch this. Romans 6, we're going to read verse 4 and verse 11. Therefore, we were buried with him through baptism into death, that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. Likewise, you also reckon yourselves to be dead indeed to sin, but alive to c to God in Christ Jesus our Lord. I want you to see something there. As soon as you are in the ministry with the Lord, okay, so this is what happens when you get saved. Remember, we're made from dirt, the soil. God formed man out of the dirt of the earth. And when we receive the word of God and that seed is planted in us because we're dirt, it gets planted in us. When we go to get baptized, we go down under the water. We come up, we germinate or we uh water the seed to germinate and start to grow. Now, what happens here is a couple of things. You know, you've seen plants make it and some don't. If you ever been a gardener of any kind, you will know that some make it, some don't. So, the key here is that you need to nourish the seed. You need to let it grow. And in order to do that, you have to expand your mind, get the revelation of the scripture, and let it grow into the tree of life because that is what you are. You represent life in Christ, which means you're dead to sin. So those that live righteously, which is going to lead to peace, and we're going to see that connect here. When you live righteously, you're called to go up in the rapture because the return of Christ is coming and you're going to change in the twinkling of an eye. And you're already dead. Your eternity already begins now. Just because you're still in the flesh doesn't mean anything. You're already on God's side in the heavenly realm. Amen. Oh, hallelujah. So now, because we can be in this times and we see all these things that are going on, you see how this all applies. Now, I want you to understand something. You know, uh, baptism is not necessary for salvation. And I know that a lot of people take it as this is your acknowledgement that you're a Christian. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. Remember what the word of God says. The confession of your mouth is your salvation. Remember Jesus on the cross and he had two thieves on each side of him. One thief was thief was mocking him. The other thief says don't mock him. He's truly innocent here. Jesus said to the one guy who defended him, I assure you I will see you in paradise in a few hours. Was that thief baptized? No. So what happened when Jesus was baptized? Because remember, we need to follow his example just like we're following Paul's example. We got to follow their examples. They set the parameters for us today because we need that. We need to see it. We need to follow it because we need to be in our peace to go through these end times because we're a generation that's going to be well known for futures to come, for ages to come. Okay? Because we let it happen. Did we? No. But we were there trying our best and our hardest. But the outcome is evil will rule until and then the whole thing happens when Jesus comes on Armagand Armageddon. So this is very very powerful, very important that you need to know. You need to see that as you get baptized, what did Jesus do when he got baptized? He came up, he went into the wilderness and he dealt with the devil and then he went into ministry. So he dealt with the strong man and then he went and laid hands on people. That's what baptism is all about is laying hands on the sick and entering the kingdom of God. Let's let's look at that a little more specifically. Romans 14:17, for the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit. So you see, you enter the kingdom of God as soon as you are baptized. You start to germinate the seed. You turn into a new creation. You change and you enter into this realm that is so extraordinary that people look at you and and you do set the example because see let's say uh suffering happens. You're you're in a situation where there's suffering going on and you just pray and you're at peace and you continue to be at peace. People look at you and go, "How come you're not more stressed out about this?" And here's the thing is when you're walking in that peace and when they see all hell break loose because they're going to see it. That day of the Lord is coming. They're going to try to call you because they're going to see what you know. That's your testimony. That's what you need to be showing here and now. Colossians 3:15. and let the peace of God rule in your hearts to which also you were called in one body and be thankful. You see when you are standing in that peace, it is setting a testimony and it is ruling your heart so that people see and know and again this is building your confidence that we know that the Lord is returning. We saw that every man was appointed to die. They see that in the twinkling of the eye, these people that die, they're already dead in Christ. So, they don't have to die. God's going to take them. Enoch was righteous. God took him. Now, he hasn't died yet. Uh Elijah, he went up in a chariot of fire. God took him, too. He He's not dead either. We know that there's two witnesses that's not identified in Revelation. They will die three and a half years in. It's good chance of Enoch and Elijah because that is to fulfill scripture. And we know of the two evil antichrist men in Moses day that the earth swallowed up that I taught on last week. Dayan and Aberon as probably the prophet and the beast. So there was two other people who hadn't died. They've been judged though already. I the scriptures will fulfill itself. You have to realize this. This is why when you see this movement like in our US elections here, we everyone kept saying red wave, red wave. I'm like, you guys got to know scripture. If you know scripture, you will know that they're not going to win. Now, the Old Testament talked about this too in detail. And I want to show you some scripture there because I think you're going to see how applicable this is and how even the Old Testament and New Testament just connect and join together. It's really awesome. Watch this. Isaiah 32:16-20. Then justice will dwell in the wilderness and righteousness remain in the fruitful field. The work of righteousness will be peace and the effect of righteousness uh quietness and and assurance forever. The work of righteousness will be peace and the effect of righteousness quietness and assurance forever. Verse 18, my people will dwell in a peaceful habitation in secure dwellings and in quiet resting places. Though hail comes down on the forest and the city is brought low in humiliation. Blessed are you who sow beside all waters, who send out freely the feet of the ox and the donkey. I want the reason I added those last two scriptures into that grouping there is I wanted you to see about the hail. I taught on this already. Scripture clearly tells us about the day of the Lord, the invasion of Gog and Magog and um the hail so bad that men curse God because of it. So, do you think that message of peace in that scripture was applicable to us today? Oh, you better believe it. Let's look at that again because I kind of stumbled over reading it. Watch this. Then justice will dwell in the wilderness and righteousness remain in the fruitful field. The work of righteousness will be peace. Remember I just talked about being in the right standing with God, having his word nourished, feeding it with his word, watering it so that you grow into this tree of life. To do that, you have to spend time in the word. And it's not enough to be in church once, two, three times a week. You have to spend the alone time with the Holy Spirit in order to get revelation. in order for you to rightly judge judge to rightly judge the teachings you're hearing. You can't do that unless you're in the scripture. And if you're just going to be that little old little sheep that just, you know, takes everything in and just follows what everybody does, you would have fell for this red wave. You see how this works? Now look at that. So the work of righteousness will be peace and the effect of righteousness, quietness and assurance forever. You see that confidence and assurance has built within you. You see, I already have that assurance because I've been spending time in the word and I knew what was going to happen. And look, the outcome is is that it happened. I'm telling you folks, it is absolutely imperative that you spend time in the word because you will be at peace and have that confidence. Now, let me show you how it works. Having this piece and applying it because I'm going to tell you right now, you can easily trip and fall. I almost did. Yeah, I was very upset. I'll get to that testimony here in a bit. I want you to see the scripture. This scripture I probably have in almost every message I teach, but is my favorite of all time. Look at this. Romans 10:9-10. 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. For with the heart one believes under righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made into salvation. Okay? You see that? With the mouth salvation is made. Look at that. Uh with the mouth confession is made into salvation. So the confession of the spoken word remember and I taught on this last time was let there be light that spoken word the power of the numa. Okay. So to have that peace. So sharing a little testimony here without the details. I just know that I was very upset at work a couple Fridays ago and uh I remember just sitting there in the bathroom. I was mad there. you know, something should have happened, didn't happen. Anyways, and you know, that goes to show where your heart and mind is, by the way. So, I'm using myself as a testimony here. So, I'm in the bathroom. I'm just crying out to God cuz I'm mad. And he says, "Well, what's more important? What I was mad about or his return?" And it put me in perspective very quickly. and all that emotion. But see, I had gone to God and I said, "Lord, I am mad about this." And he got me back on the right track. And because I spoke the situation to him, I gave it to him. Remember what Moses had to do with them birthe? They were the spirit of antichrist. They're in the wilderness for 40 years and they had been there for some time. And these two guys with their families and whomever sided with them went to Moses and said, "Who made you prince over us? You know, where's my uh land flowing with milk and honey? Where, you know, I should be laying here and people should be putting grapes into my mouth." And Moses like, I didn't do this because of me. I did it because of God. So, uh, Moses goes to God and says, "What's this all about?" God tells Moses, "Tell him to come see me." So, Moses tells him to come. And they said, "No." Do you see the selfishness behind these two guys? It's all about me. I want to make my life better. That is the spirit of Antichrist. And that's what a lot of people have. I want to make the elections right. We need these people in power, not these. You see what's going on here? I'm trying to teach you something here. So, you know, God dealt with these two men. I believe that's going to be the prophet and the beast. Who knows? You know, the scriptures don't identify who the two witnesses are, who the prophet is and the beast. But I would not be surprised because God completes his word. That is God. But the moment that you give it to the Lord and even if you don't even know, you know, for years I remember telling the Lord, I don't want to miss your rapture. Whatever it is I got to do, teach me. And here I am today dwelling in the secret. But he did teach me. It took some time, but I learned. So I want you to understand the power of the spoken word. Now, Moses spoke over those two guys and he spoke the word of God. He told the the camp to back off. Now, you can go read this in Numbers. I already taught on it, so I'm not bringing all of that element in, but because he spoke the word of God. You just had your confession. You had your situation. You see what's going on. Lord, I'm concerned about the elections. And God puts it back in your mind. What's more important? Eternity with me and my return for the moment for righteous goodness to overcome evil. Don't you know that evil needs to be in place? The whole world has to reject the nation of Israel for this. That means America has to do it too. So the spoken word has an active element here that moves things. Jesus explained it best. Let's go look at a couple scriptures here. Matthew 16 18- 19. And I also say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it. And I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven. Whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven. Remember I talked about the kingdom of God and entering the kingdom of God. And that is when you get baptized and you enter the kingdom of God, your spoken word changes things. It changes it for whatever you say. You know, it's like that saying, you think you're coming down with a cold and you say, "No, I think I'm coming down with a cold and by because you said it a few days later or within hours you're well because you spoke it." You know, I I was pretty confident I was coming down with CO a second time. And I remember that day I had a fever and I was like, "Lord, no, no, no, no, no, no. I don't have time for this." I said, "Nope. I'm not sick." And I refused to be sick. Now, I did have a fever that day. Don't get me wrong. The physical was still there, but by the next day, everything was gone and I was back to normal. The spoken word makes a huge difference. It does. It's so powerful that that Jesus said it twice. We just saw it in Matthew 16. Look at this. Now we're in Matthew 18 15 and 20. And watch how he applies this here because now this applies. Remember, we have a clear dividing line in our nation. It is 50/50. You've got a group of people that want abortion that want to sin and have God bless them for it. You got that group of people. They reject God. Then you have the other group of people that are no, no, no, you can't do that. I mean, and you know what? They're under strong delusion. One of the things that's going on right now, I don't know if you guys saw this, but the interfaith group, I don't remember the full title of their name. And either next week or the week after, they're going to they're they're calling all religious leaders to join them on Mount Si so that they can write a new ten commandments. Yes, you heard me correctly. To write a new ten commandments to save the earth. Now, I'm going to tell you right now because there this is all about, you know, climate change and the earth and all that kind of stuff and people fall for this. Remember Jesus said, "Heaven and earth shall pass away, but not my word." So, we already know the earth is going to die. Go read the end of Revelation and see how it ends. We have the victory. God has the victory. I'm on God's side. In case you haven't figured that out yet, you should. So, these people are falling for that. So, they think this is a good thing. You know, I want to tell you right now, set a new ten commandments against God's word. No, no, no, no. You don't do that. But God is saying, Jesus said it twice about the power of the spoken word. And I want you to see the ministry that you have here in the kingdom of God. Look at this. This is now watch how he applies this too. It's very, very powerful. So that we can apply it to this group of people that are following you for all this stuff. Watch this. Moreover, if your brother sins against you, go and tell him his fault between you and him alone. If he hears you, you've gained your brother. But if he will not hear, take with you one or two more that by the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established. And if he refuses to hear them, tell it to the church. But if he refuses even to hear the church, let him be to you like a heathen and a tax collector. Assuredly I say to you, whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever loose you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven. Again, I say to you that if two of you agree on earth concerning anything that they ask, it will be done for them by my father in heaven. For where two or three are gathered together in my name, I am there in the midst in them. You see the power of the spoken word and what it does. You have to wonder, you know, where we are today. You know, I understand the Lord has been moving. So, he's caused all this. But I wonder if there were enough determined people who were like Paul who wanted to change the world and he Paul's like, "You got to let me do this, Lord." And he had a thorn in the flesh and he asked God three times to remove it. And God says, "No, my grace is sufficient for you." Because Paul was buffeted. He tried to go places and the devil fought him hard, knocked him down. Paul got back up, got knocked down again. He got back up. He dealt with principalities. He was knocking him down. He had this walk with God. And God's like, "Hold on, my son. Slow you down because we got to we got a few more generations here that need to take place." You see, God's plan is to get to the end of his scripture to fulfill prophecy. And that's the side we need to be on. So, how do you apply the spoken word to keep your peace? Oh, watch this. Watch this. Ecclesiastes 11:1-2. Cast your bread upon the waters. What does bread represent besides life? It's your most important element. You need bread to survive. I know we got a lot of vegans and stuff out there, but you you're actually a little sickly on the inside when you choose not to have bread. It just needs to be moderation, folks. But anyways, that is the most important thing. Whatever is important to you at that moment, the US elections. Cast your important bread. Cast the US elections, look at that, upon the waters, for you will find it after many days. give a serving to seven and also to a for you do not know what evil will be on the earth. You see what's going on here? Because that's applying to evil here. And we know that we've got an evil uh leadership in place right now that we have to cast out. It doesn't even just go there. There's even further. We're going to go to Peter here in just a moment, but I want you to see that Lord, I give you the elections because that's important to me. But your word is more important. Your plan is more important. And I'm h asking you to get my mindset straight. So I cast it to you. You see how you do that? You speak that word and it changes everything on the inside. The dynamics change. Watch what Peter says here. This is 1 Peter 5:6-11. Therefore, humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God. And that's exactly what you're doing the moment you speaking that word because you're mad. You think this should go right. You think righteousness should be here and you feel like you're letting evil in. But he says, "Humble yourself." Look at the scripture. These are powerful. Humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God that he may exalt you in due time. Casting all your care upon him, for he cares for you. Be sober. Be vigilant. Because your adversary, the devil, walks about like a roaring lion, seeking seeking whom he may desire to put that into perspective. How many people are going to be upset with this election and do something stupid? But because if you had already been spending time with the word of God, even though you're upset about it, you had cast it, you can at least say, "I know God's work is going on here. He's up to something. I know he is. He's coming back. So, I'm just going to get my mind back on my eternity with him." You see how applicable that is? And when you miss that, because you haven't missed many time, you can easily get caught up here in the anger. And once you get angry, the devil pushes your buttons and causes you to do something stupid where like January 6, these people did this minor invasion and now they spend years in jail whereas murderers are getting out less time than them. You see the the hypocrisy here? It it should be frustrating but at the same time you just give it to the Lord and you say this I cast to you Lord. Amen. Let's go back to the scripture here. Because your adversary, the devil, walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. Verse nine, resist him, steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same sufferings are experienced by your brotherhood in the world. But may the God of all grace, who called us to his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a while, perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you. Oh, how awesome is that word? To him be the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen. God comes first, my friend. You need to humble yourselves. And I will tell you this, like Moses dealt with Dayam and Aberon because he went to God and God dealt with them by opening the earth and swallowing them whole. When you put God first and you cast that care to him, you speak the word, look what happens. Romans 16:20, "And the God of peace will crush Satan under your feet shortly." When Satan's been nitpicking you and he's been doing all this stuff and you tell him to get below your feet, he runs, but all you know, he he affects the whole atmosphere and people come, people do God do Satan's job for him on a regular basis. Really unfortunate, but that's exactly what happens. And is his friends and family, okay? So, it just happens. That's that's the way he works because we all have our emotions. We all are having to humble ourselves and that is very challenging. But the moment you do and the moment you cast it out, he runs. It effectively stops Satan from being fruitful in your mind and in your heart. That is the God of peace ruling in you. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. That is a great word. Apply it, use it, speak it, and live it. Hallelujah. Let's close in a word of prayer. Father God, we bless this message. Oh Lord, let us receive, walk and live by your word and to have the the gumption to speak your word and to speak our cares to you so that we can humble ourselves before you and give you this so that we could see our eternity with you and be excited about your return. Father God, oh we love you, we praise you, glorify you and honor you and in the name of Jesus. Amen. God bless you. I will see you in the next message. Bye-bye. Previous Next Home

HEALING FOR THE BROKENHEARTED part 2 The objective of this teaching is to help believers understand the spiritual power and significance of the anointing oil as revealed in Scripture. It aims to show that through the anointing of the Holy Spirit, the yokes of bondage, generational conditioning, and satanic programming over our lives can be destroyed. The lesson encourages Christians to move beyond mere knowledge into experiencing true deliverance and walking in the freedom, authority, and calling that God has ordained. < Back HEALING FOR THE BROKENHEARTED part 2 Pastor Marcos Marrero July 1, 2004 Objective: The objective of this teaching is to help believers understand the spiritual power and significance of the anointing oil as revealed in Scripture. It aims to show that through the anointing of the Holy Spirit, the yokes of bondage, generational conditioning, and satanic programming over our lives can be destroyed. The lesson encourages Christians to move beyond mere knowledge into experiencing true deliverance and walking in the freedom, authority, and calling that God has ordained. Synopsis: This lesson explores the biblical principle found in Isaiah 10:27—“the yoke will be destroyed because of the anointing oil.” It teaches that Satan enslaves people through conditioning and programming, leading them to respond to situations in ways that keep them bound by fear, sin, and generational curses. Just as oxen are yoked together and unable to move independently, believers often find themselves spiritually yoked to destructive patterns, duplications of personality, and burdens of sin. The anointing oil, symbolic of the Holy Spirit, breaks these bondages and brings freedom. Through examples such as David’s anointing in 1 Samuel 16 and the ministry of the disciples in Mark 6, the lesson highlights that when the Spirit comes upon a person, He empowers them to cast out demons, break yokes, and heal the sick. Furthermore, the teaching outlines three progressive levels of receiving God’s anointing: Asking – receiving personal provision and assurance that God meets our needs. Seeking – pursuing identity, heritage, and ministry, breaking free from generational curses. Knocking – pressing deeper into revelation and purpose, entering into God’s destiny. Ultimately, this message emphasizes that the cross of Christ has already borne the ultimate yoke and burden for us. Through the anointing of the Holy Spirit, believers are empowered to break free from satanic conditioning, intercede for their families, and walk in the victory and authority that comes only through Jesus Christ. Inspired Teaching: you glory and honor. We thank you for your faithfulness, your grace, your mercy. Thank you for your grace, your mercy. Thank you for your anointing here this morning. Father God, I pray that you will grant each and every one of us ears to hear, a heart to understand, and your favor. Father God, let your face uh uh uh shine upon us today, Father God, with your love and your compassion. Thank you, Father, for blessing each and every person that is here today. Blessing every family that is represented here today. Thank you for blessing our pastor, his wife, and their family, and blessing Harvard Christian Center, Father God. And thank you for this great door that you've opened for us here in the Wington area, Father God, to be ministers of the gospel of peace to the people of this community. In Jesus name, we thank you, Lord. Amen. Amen. Amen. Praise God. Hallelujah. As you know, we uh we gone in a path to where we uh uh begin uh uh with the lesson as to what Jesus came to do. He said, "The spirit of the Lord is upon me because he did anoint anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. Uh he came to heal the brokenhearted at the heart of this class." Then we dealt with the spirit of rejection because rejection is the u uh you know, at the heart of of the malfunction of of every soul. And we got lessons one and two on faith there if you want to get those. Then uh lesson number three, which we did two weeks ago, and today's will be on the tape for next week. Then we were talking about lesson number three, how Satan uh the way that that he gets away with what he gets away with is through pro a program of conditioning. he has the human race program uh to do his plan and then and then there is the conditioning that he has to where we respond to situations or circumstances in the way that we're programmed. How many of you here that are married have said, "I'm going home today and I'm not going to argue with my wife or with my husband." And how many do you know that there's a button that can be pushed? There's a circumstance that can take place and you're programmed to react in a way that you don't want to. Now, we're going to talk today about the anointing or the anointing oil. The Bible says that the anointing oil is what breaks this programming and conditioning of Satan. Very important that we understand this. So, uh, pay attention today. Make sure that that we get the understanding. Our scripture, which is one of the ones that I put on the flyer when the class first started, is in Isaiah 10:27. And I want to expound on this a little bit. In Isaiah 10:27, we read, "It shall come to pass in that day that his burden," this is talking about the enemies of Israel at that time, which was Assyria, who was taking uh the Israelites uh captive. It shall come to pass in that day that his burden will be taken away from your shoulder and his yoke from your neck and the yoke will be destroyed because of the anointing oil. I want you to see this because this is very very important. Christianity has a lot of symbolism. God uses symbols to to show us a a spiritual principles because we humans are not conditioned to to accept spiritual principles. This is why Jesus spoke in parables. This why Jesus the things are designed to condition us in the good way to receive and to understand the plans and purposes of God. Here let's say that the burden represents the demonic load that the devil places on God's children by way of his programming of his conditioning. in the little illustration that I used earlier when you say I'm not going to do this and then you are programmed uh or condition to respond to a certain situation. It says that in that day this burden will be taken away from your shoulders. I want you to see this. We are living in the day when Jesus ca said I came to take your burden away from your shoulders. That's what Jesus says in the first lesson in Luke 4:18. The spirit of the Lord is upon me because he has anointed me for a purpose. God has placed his anointing oil upon me so so that I can remove the burden of conditioning and programming the Satan has placed upon your life. Yes. Jesus said, "That's why I came." And I want you to see this that we're living in that day. We do not have lessons, my friend. We do not have to respond to the way that we have been conditioned or programmed to respond to anymore. As a believer of Jesus Christ, we do not have to respond to temptation the way that we have been conditioned to respond to temptation. This is what the idea is here. Jesus says, "I Jesus said hay bring your burdens or your cares upon him because he cares for you." There's a burden of sin. See, we have been conditioned or programmed to fear. Did you know that we we fear supernatural things and yet God has given us dominion over the fish of the sea and over the fowl of the air. We have been given dominion over supernatural things. As a matter of fact, we're far above supernatural se uh things. The Bible says that we're now seated at the at the at the side of Jesus in heaven. We are seated far above principalities, power, the supernatural reality. Yes. Yet we Christians fear the supernatural when we have been authorized to rule over the supernatural. See, that's where the conditioning come from. The conditioning comes through the supernatural reality. This is why you watch cartoons today and I remember when my kids were little and all the cartoons are talking about a sorcery and and all kinds of things. This is why her Harry Potter is so popular. This is why all these demonic things are so popular for the kids because our kids have been conditioned and programmed to respond to certain things so that when WA and and and Satanist and and all these demonic things comes in, they're already acceptable to it. Okay, that programming, that conditioning, it is broken. Hallelujah. By the anointing oil. By the anointing oil, it is broken. Now, the conditioning, the burden represents that. What does a yoke represents? The yoke represents a duplicated personality that the devil is able to manipulate. In our last lesson, we read in James 1:7 and8 says, "For let not that man suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord because he is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways." And we talked that the word double-minded means a duplicate personality. Now, I'm I was born and raised in Cuba, and we didn't have big tractors. We didn't have all of the things, the biggest industry. When I was growing up, I live in a port city, so we ship a lot of uh uh sugar. And the way that they would transport in the fields, they they cut the sugar cane and then they pile it on this huge carts. They would take a a a what do they call it? Oxen or the bulls, a a team of oxen. And what they would do, they take this huge piece and then they put a yolk. A yolk is a huge heavy piece of wood like and what it does is they put it on the neck of this bull and they put on the neck of this bull and now they're yolked together. They cannot move independent of one another. What what what one does the other one does and the burden is the thing that they were trailing and they were going and then somebody was able to drive these animals and was able to lead them without being independent of one another. How many of us here can truly say today that many a time we walk as Christians but we have been under a yoke of sin to where we're led to do things that we don't want to do. That's what Paul writes in Romans 7:20. He says, "If I do the things that I will not to do, then it is no longer I who do it, but that duplicate or that personality that is yoke to me." We are yolked. We're bound to a programming system of the world that leads us astray against the will of God so that then Satan can come in and and and pour out his guilt and his shame and his condemnation. And because of that, many of us then just give up on Christianity. We begin to the fire that one that at one time led us. We begin to get farther and far back to where we just don't want to get involved. We're just on the peripheral. We're we're we're saved enough that we can't go completely back to the world because we're miserable over there. But but we're we're still bound to this yoke that that that we don't want to do anything when it comes to the things of God. We don't have the joy. We don't have the thing anymore. We're dragging this burden. Well, the good news says that the anointing oil is supposed to take care of that. the anointing. No, you see the the the bull or the beast cannot be set free until somebody comes in and pow rips that piece of wood out of an egg and set you free. This is the duplicate personality. You see, just like God created you in his image. Satan has a duplicate of you. a duplicate that is bound to sin and and to lie and to sheep and to mistrust and to have all kinds of apprehensions within it. Jesus says the anointing oil will break you free from that past from the personality from the thing that dragged you down and it will set you into the into the road of freedom. Now you know I'm heavy into spiritual principles. So let's let's look at the first spiritual principle that had to do with the anointing oil. And we'll find out on 1st Samuel 16:13. What is it about the anointing oil? And this is why I like to always every every chance I get to pray for somebody, I like to use the oil because it's the the symbolism that it has. 1st Samuel 16:13. Then Samuel took the horn of oil and anointed him David in the midst of his brothers. And watch what happened when that horn of oil was poured upon David's head. And the spirit of the Lord came upon David from that day forward. So Samuel arose and went to run. What happened when the anointing oil fell on the head of David? What does it say? Spirit of the Lord. The spirit of the Lord. What did the spirit of the Lord do? He came upon who? David. And he did not leave. I want you to see that. It says, "And the spirit of the Lord came upon David." From when? From that day forward. I want you to know that David committed a lot of bad deeds from that time. The yoke had not been broken yet. But I want you to see is that now this man was in a position to where the authority or the anointing of God was upon him. Why? Why is the anointing so so so important in see in the spirit realm things work different than than they do in in in the natural. And we need to to understand that the anointing once you have been anointed by God there is a a trail or there is a mark. There is something that we leave that in the supernatural realm is very visible and is very real. When you go walking and praying when you go anything that you do there's a trail. I was sitting back there in the corner where the chair is up by the telephone uh praying and meditating while I was waiting for for the glass to start. There's two hands. There was there were like three tile spaces away. I mean, one probably couldn't see the other one where it was if they could see. And when I saw them, they were going someplace and and it was amazing. I began to notice the lead end, the one that was here was going and it would walk on this side of the tile, would go across, would cross over here, would go like that. Then what I noticed is that the other end when it got to the point where I first saw the first end without knowing where that end had gone or being able to see it, it followed the exact trail of that end. It when it was on this side, it was here, it was here. Every time it tried went to deviate. No. So that like the end that was in the back knew that there was somebody in front and every area where that ant went, it went. Now I want you to see that the conditioner or the programming of Satan has left as if it were a trail for us to follow. I believe the are called generational curses. The trails that your great great grandparents that your grandparents that your parents have traveled we seem instinctively or naturally just follow that same area whether we like it or not. We go and we go and we go. What the anointing oil does is put you into the trail of following what the footsteps of great men and women of God that have gone before us for us to follow in their path. Isn't it amazing that at the time that that happened I was meditating on the very first time that I was called to teach. I was in the mountains pastor HW which his name is right on the sign and I didn't put the thing together until afterwards. And then I was thinking how my knees were trembling, how scared I was. And that when it came to stand because the Lord was calling 10 people to speak at nine had spoken and and they were waiting for one and nobody was getting up and I knew it was me, but I didn't have the the guts to get up and teach. And so I finally I said in my heart, "Oh man, I can't do it. This this is not for me, you know." And then as soon as in my mind with that pastor said, "Hey, listen. we're not gonna have no breakfast until whoever you are gets up in here and teach us. Okay. So, I kind of felt guilty holding everybody back. So, I got up and I remember my my niece shaking and everything. But anyway, and I realized how the anointing that was in that man's life unknowingly is the same path that in the same way I've been following. You you see what I'm saying? So what I'm saying is that what the anointing oil does is when you accept the Lord Jesus Christ, now you have the ability to break the yoke of the past, to break the yoke of the conditioning and the programming that has been set in our lives and our family's life for destruction. And we can start on a trail of blessings and victory that God has given because that's how God has set it up. Uh now look at how the principle work. 1st Samuel verse chapter 2 verse 10. Now this this is what happened when the anointing oil gets set get set up. In other words, the day that you accepted the Lord Jesus Christ, God placed his spirit upon you and that now has given you the opportunity to come under this anointing. 1st Samuel 2:10, the adversaries of the Lord shall be broken in pieces. Now, remember, keep keep in mind the yoke. The yoke is a very very heavy instrument. I mean, it's a piece of wood that is solid. It's it's something that they can place upon the neck of of of the animal. And once the thing is locked up, I don't care how strong that bull is that can pull tons and tons of stuff. He can't break off of it. I want you to see this because that is the burden of sin that each individual comes to comes with when he comes to the Lord. When you came to the Lord Jesus Christ, all of the sin nature was still there. You are a new creation in the spirit. That's where the anointing takes place. But that yoke is still there. But the principle of God says it is the anointing oil of the Lord that breaks to pieces the the the the yoke of the adversary. The adversary is Satan. Satan is the one that has causes to do that. But this is a principle work 1 Samuel 2:10. The adversaries of the Lord shall be broken in pieces from heaven. He will sder against him because the things that we are bound by are spiritual, are demonic, are from the supernatural realm and they can only be broken from heaven, the third heaven where God is. And notice that it says thunder, thunder can split a a huge tree in half. Thunder can disintegrate to ashes anything. He says God is going to speak from heaven. a a and thunder against this demonic yoke that is upon this the people of the Lord. Says the Lord will judge the ends of the earth. And look what it says. And he will give strength to his king and exalt the horn of his anointed. Of course, that is prophetic of Jesus Christ. But Jesus Christ has made us kings and priests. So that means that when we begin to understand or to apply this anointing that we're talking about today to break the yoke, the voice of God is going to speak from heaven is going to thunder against that yoke that has been placed upon your family and the anointing of God because of the king that we have. He's going to break it. See, there had to be somebody leading the trail. Did you know that when Jesus was going to the cross, he had a joke upon his neck and a burden upon his shoulder? It was called a wooden cross and he bore that thing all the way up that hill. He took that burden, that yoke that was destined for us, and he carried it all the way up to the hill and he was nailed to it. And the Bible says that he was high between heaven and earth on that burden. But I want you to know that when Jesus our king, he says that even heaven silence, everything went dark. But Jesus says it is finished. And when Jesus says it is finished, now Paul looking into the spiritual realm says that Jesus put to shame every principality and every power. He ripped them out of their power because Jesus brought the joke. Hallelujah. with the anointing that have been placed upon his life. But Jesus said, "Now if you take my cross and follow me, I will also break that anointing from your that that anointing that has been placed. Did you know that Satan has a yoke upon your family? Satan has a yoke upon your family? Satan has a a yoke upon your yourself individually. Satan has a plan and a programming against your community, against your church. Satan is very organized and all of the things are set into motion. And unless these things are broken by the anointing power of the living God, then we will be led to drag this burden of sin that has been placed upon us. Now Jesus who is our king, let's go to Mark 6:63. The scripture that we just read in 1st Samuel 2:10 is talking about Jesus. He will give strength to his king. Now I want you to see how Jesus used that strength. Mark 6:13, Jesus sends out the disciples. Verse 12. So they went out and preached that the people should repent. And look at verse 13. the the disciples that Jesus had sent out and they cast out many demons and anointed with oil many who were sick and healed them. Now see 1 Samuel uh 2:10 says he will give strength to the king and exalt the horn of his anointed. Jesus says God said of Jesus you are my king. I have anointed you. I have given you strength. Jesus says, "Go in my name. I give you authority. I give you power over all the power of the enemy. I give you authority." Jesus said. Now, his anointed ones went out and what do they do? They cast out the demon. Now, let's let's stick to the uh uh principles that I'm trying to teach you here. What does the demons represent here? Now, the people that they were preaching to were believers. They were preaching to the Israelites. As a matter of fact, Jesus said, "Go to the Jew first and then the Gentiles afterward." So they were going to the house of God. They were preaching in synagogues. So the demons here represented the yoke of bondage that the people were under. The sin, the Romans 7:20, where it says, "If I do the things that I will not to do, then it is no longer I who do it, but sin that dwells in me." the woman who was caught in adultery. Uh uh uh uh the people that that that were bound by all kinds of different things. All of the things represented the yoke of Satan upon the nation of Israel and that is represented today in the body of Christ. This is why Christianity today has such a bad reputation because so many people uh uh uh uh uh Christians are doing so many bad things. Why? because the yoke has not been broken. The anointing oil has not been applied to the situation. But it says that when the disciples went out, they dealt first with the supernatural. See, demons operate in the supernatural reality. So they dealt first with the supernatural. He says that they cast out the demon. Now the Bible says that we have been given authority uh uh to pull down strongholds. You see, when you say to yourself, okay, I'm going to meditate on the word of God and I'm going to identify what the yoke is that Satan has upon my life and upon my family's life. What is it? What has Satan programmed and conditioned my family to do? Think about your aunt. Think about your uncle. Think about your uh uh uh you know grandparents and talk to if you have parents or grandparents that are still well ask how was my your great your grandmother you know talk talk about them and you will find out if you take a little list and you begin to know that in some places it's divorce you will see that divorce is rampant in other words gangs you know administered to people who they're in gangs and their parents were in gangs and their grandparents were in gangs in other ones you know, it was perversion. In other one, there's all kinds of things. And what you need to do is to realize that this demons, as if it were the the the spirits are operating in a precondition or programming, a program is an order of thing. Satan has an order of things set up against us. And it is only through the uh anointing oil that you can break free yourself from that preconditioning and pre-programming and also become an intercessor for your family. Now notice that it says that once they dealt with the spiritual things of it that then immediately those who were sick healed them. You will find out that in many families you have spirits of infirmity that get handed. I mean doctors believe in in generational curses. You go to a doctor and the first thing he's going to do, he's want to know what your daddy, what your mommy, what your brothers, what your sisters, what kind of maladies they have because he knows that if grandma and grandpa and uncle, if they have this thing that you you are in a 70 80% more a higher bracket to get it than somebody who didn't have it because there's an assignment, there's a programming. Your family has been preconditioned to deal with it. you know, whether it's breast cancer, whether it's uh uh uh prostrate cancer, whether it's all kinds of different things is programmed. And I want you to know that the anointing oil and and I'm going to deal with this now in the last half of it. The anointing oil breaks breaks the authority, breaks the programming, breaks the conditioning that you have been set up to to to to give that fruit of. Breaks it off. and he's able to set you into the footsteps of the king to where now you're following what God says about you and about your family and not what the devil says. It's so important that we understand it. But the the question now we want to deal with it and and and if we have time we'll have time for some questions. Uh, how do we receive God's anointing oil that breaks off this programming and the conditioning of the enemy? Let's go to Luke 11. I want to show you something that is new to me, something that that I just come into Revelation. Luke 11:es 9-12 Jesus is talking about a principle that we all understand. He says, "So I say to you, ask and it will be given to you. Seek and you will find. Knock and it will be open to you. For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be open." If a son asks for bread from any father among you, will he give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will he give him a serpent instead of a fish? Or if he asks for an egg, will he offer him a scorpion? If you then being evil know how to give good gift to your children, how much more will your heavenly father give you the Holy Spirit to those who ask him? Now what is the Holy Spirit represent? The Holy Spirit represented by the anointing oil. So I want you to see this here that Jesus is bringing us into a place to where he's saying let me give you an understanding of how the anointing oil works because the anointing oil is represented by the Holy Spirit. Remember when the disciples were given the commission go into all the world change the world but they said wait until the holy spirit has come upon you and induce you with power or authority. So this is what we're dealing with. So I came up to the conclusion that there are three levels to the anointing that praise the first level is the level of asking. I believe that we all here today are on the first level asking how do you get saved? You ask God to forgive you of your sins. You cannot be saved unless you are baptized into the body of Christ by the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is the baptizer. When you confess your sin, the Bible says that the spirit of the living God baptizes us into the body. And this is as simple as level of anointing that put you into a position to where now you can go into the deeper area of the anointing to break off the things that are hidden behind be behind the the things that we don't know. So the first level is asking. Now I want to since Jesus put it in there in the context I want to use the symbols that Jesus uses on the first symbol is the bread versus a stone. You know he says if a son asks for bread uh for bread from any father among you will he give him a stone. Now isn't it amazing that this is what the very first thing that Satan tempted Jesus with. Remember Jesus had fasted for 40 days. He had not eaten anything for 40 days. So I'm sure there was a nice smooth rock that had just the right texture and the right look that look just like a loaf of bread. And Satan use that opportunity. He says, "Now if you if you are the son of God, command this stone to become a loaf of bread." Which by the way God can do. That's no problem with that. But I want you to see that the very first level of the anointing when we become born again, the level that we're all in has to do with personal provision. This has to do with personal provision. And and I want to bring it down to to the level. You will never get out of this level of anointing, the the one of asking until you know for certainty that God will give you what you asking. Amen. That what God God will meet your need. Because see, Hebrews says, "He that comes to God must believe that God is and he is the rewarder of those who diligently seek him." We need to see see without getting out of that first level, you're not going to have an impact in your generations. You need we need to understand it. Is God really able to break the yoke of my neck? Now, when you ask God to set you free, God always answers prayer. By the way, there's there isn't a single prayer that we ever pray that goes unanswered. God answers prayer. But when you ask that, God will now begin to control the circumstances around your life. God brought the Israelites out of Egypt. Then he wanted to take Egypt out of the hearts of the Israelites. And God did something. They were in the desert and for three days they had no food and they have no water and they were about to die. And God was saying, "I want to expose what's in your heart." What was in their heart? Murmuring, complaining. Why did God bring us out? He's going to let us out to die in the desert. And God makes this this statement to Moses. I withheld your food and your water so that you would learn that man does not live on bread alone but on every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God. Until we get through that lesson, we will never get into any other level of anointing that the word of God is more to you. I made that statement before and I'll make it again. I can be dying with cancer oozing out of my ears and out of my mouth and I'm still will be saved. He is the Lord who heals me. Because my healing is not dependent on what I can see or what I can taste or what I can feel. The healing is dependent upon what God says. Because if I die then I win. Hallelujah. Because cancer cannot go to heaven with me. Hallelujah. Cancer is of the devil and it goes back to the pit of hell where it came from. You see? So, is that first level of anointing? Is that heater? Is is uh uh the thing on back in there still? Can somebody check? Maybe I think the arrow went on. But anyway, that first level of anointing comes to where you settle not only who gives you the bread, but who butters it. Like pastor Cindy used to say it's not just knowing who who gives you the bread but who puts the butter on it. He used to say that remember that's level number. Level number two of the anointing has to do with seeking. You see lesson my friend. Oh please understand this. If you're not yoke to the devil anymore, you got to be yoke to someone else because you cannot do it alone. See, there's an anointing ahead of us. There's a trail that has been set. It's either going to be the devil's scent or trail that we're going to follow or God sent the trail that we're going to follow. There's no other option. We are destined to be led by somebody that is that that goes the spirit of rejection has such a stronghold on people because of that. It is not until we realize that we belong to something and that now we need to seek that heritage. What does a person that was adopted does when they found out they've been adopted? You 17 18 you found out you've been adopted. you had good good parents and everything, but now all of a sudden you realize that those parents that raise you up are not your blood. And then you begin there's something within you that that just drives you. Who am I? Where did I come from? Why did this happen? And there's a seeking now that that that stares up at first. We need to realize that you see the next level of the anointing. If I am not what what I thought I was all of these years, then what am I? What am I? What is my destiny? If I'm not a loser like Satan program meant to be, then what am I? What kind of a winner? What kind of a victorious person am I? What kind? You see, that is what sets in motion the next level of seeking. And Jesus said if you seek and you're going to find you get out there and you begin to seek you're going to find we you you see God is not going to just drop it in your lap one day. You got to seek if you want to find it. God says I I hid myself on purpose just like a father playing hide and seek. God has been hiding and we haven't been looking for so long. That level of anointing will never be achieved that we seek God into that level. Okay. And then the last one and and this one is is is showed here of a serpent versus a fish. Now I want to use the symbols over here. What is a fish represent of? It's amazing. I went fishing yesterday. We got a lot of fish. But what does a fish represent? represents ministry. ministry. That's what the fish all the disciples of were fishers. He says, "I will make you fishers of men." And what does Satan give? What is the ministry that that Satan gives to to us human? Remember what Jesus said to the to to the Jews? He says, "Your your your vipers, your serpent." He said you go to the end of the world to make a comfort and they can make him a greater son of hell than you are. He says you snakes, you vipers, you brood of vipers. See, a serpent always h uh represents the the ministry of Satan. He's into biting people, killing people, destroying people. Fish always represents the ministry of God. So we have to realize that once the anointing has been placed upon us to break the yoke then we need to realize the seeking part. What is my ministry and the first ministry because the Bible says he who uh who does not provide for his family first is worse than an infidel. That's right. So your ministry right off the bat, like I said, once once you know who gives you the bread and who butters it, now it's your turn to get into that family line. Did you know that there's only one person in the whole Bible that knew who Jesus was? Even John the Baptist, John the Baptist doubted when he was in jail. He doubted, "Are you really the one or should you respect somebody else?" Remember John the Baptist said that? But the Bible shows you one person who knew who Jesus was and his name was Nathaniel, which means gift of God. Nathaniel before Jesus even did the wedding in Canaan, I think it's in John chapter 2, but Nathaniel says that he was underneath the tree. What does a tree represent? The family tree, the generation. Nathaniel was underneath the tree. Jesus comes into Nathaniel. Oh, you know they tell Nathaniel, here comes a Messiah. Oh, he's from Galilee. Nothing good ever comes from Galilee. What are you guys talking about? Then Jesus comes, takes a look at Nathaniel said, "There's an Israelite in whom there is no co, no deceit, no decoy, no duplicate. Here's a man who have broken the duplicate of." And Nathaniel goes and say, "Lord, how do you know me?" He says, "Before Philip call you, I saw you under the tree." I believe, my personal belief is that this man was underneath the tree and the gift of God came upon him and gave him revelation of his uh all of the things that that he was was because of the sins that have been transferred to him to the father. I believe that he probably prayed Previous Next Home

THE GIFT OF LIFE The objective of this message is to reveal the divine origin and meaning of life as a gift from God, examining how sin altered the natural order of creation and introduced aging, death, and brokenness into the world. It aims to connect the Genesis account with the New Testament teaching on eternal life through Christ, encouraging believers to repent, walk with God, and embrace His gift of life both now and in eternity. < Back THE GIFT OF LIFE Minister Lisa Kane June 26, 2022 Objective: The objective of this message is to reveal the divine origin and meaning of life as a gift from God, examining how sin altered the natural order of creation and introduced aging, death, and brokenness into the world. It aims to connect the Genesis account with the New Testament teaching on eternal life through Christ, encouraging believers to repent, walk with God, and embrace His gift of life both now and in eternity. Synopsis: In this teaching, Lisa Kane explores the biblical truth that life itself is God’s gift, rooted in His original creation. Opening with Romans 6:23, she contrasts the wages of sin—death—with God’s gift of eternal life through Jesus Christ. Drawing from Genesis, Lisa explains how the patriarchs experienced longevity before sin corrupted creation, noting that aging began only after the fall when Adam and Eve disobeyed God. She walks through the progression of sin in humanity: the disobedience of Eve, Cain’s murder of Abel, and Lamech’s violence, showing how sin accelerated corruption in the earth. Historical events such as the flood, the Tower of Babel, and the division of the continents are tied to the destructive weight of sin. Yet, amid judgment, God preserved the righteous, such as Noah, as examples of His sustaining gift of life. Lisa emphasizes that while sin shortens lifespans and accelerates aging, repentance and relationship with God bring renewal, blessing, and spiritual vitality. She draws parallels to today’s society, pointing out the moral decay that mirrors the wickedness of ancient times. The message culminates with the hope of eternal life through Christ (John 3:15–17), reminding listeners that true life is only found in Him. Ultimately, “The Gift of Life” calls believers to turn away from sin, embrace God’s righteousness, and live with the eternal perspective of salvation, knowing that Jesus has redeemed humanity from the curse of death. Inspired Teaching: Hello and welcome to the House of Faith Ministries. I'm Lisa Kane and I'm recording this on Sunday, June 26, 2022. This message is called the gift of life. Let's open up in a word of prayer. Father God, we bless this message and we thank you for your blessing on it. Let us receive, apply it to our lives, believe it, walk it, live it, and share it with others. Father God, we thank you. We thank you for your word, your nourishment for us. spiritually. We thank you in the glorious name of Jesus. Amen. Amen. Let's open up in our opening scripture here. We're going to be looking at Romans 6:23. For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. Okay. So, I'm going to be talking about aging today, which is kind of an unusual topic, but I've done a lot of in-depth studies and teachings on Genesis. I did a a study on evolution. You can go look at my past messages on there showing you proof that Genesis is real. And this is a factual text, uh, a historical factual text. This is not storyland. These are not stories. These are real events that took place. So, I'm going to address the aging of the patriarchs during the Genesis time and why sin plays a role in it and why we age differently today than we did back then. So, it's going to be one of those interesting messages here that we're going to be talking about. So, as you can see here, Paul is the one that really kind of puts it together in the New Testament when he says the wages of sin is death. What is sin? Sin is dying. So, let's take a look at what happened in Genesis and what caused us to start aging. Okay? Uh because I'm going to show you when it wasn't aging and then I'm going to show you when it started aging and what happened. And I do apologize, you're going to hear my fans and air conditioner running. Uh it is currently 99 degrees here. I live in the desert here in Southern California. And uh the high I think it's supposed to be 104, but if it's 99 right now and it's 11:41, I guess it's going to be a little hotter, but no problem. So, sorry for the sound quality, but that's the way it's going to be today. So, let's go to our next scripture here in Genesis. So, in Genesis 2:19-20, we're going to see something very interesting here. Out of the ground, the Lord God formed every beast of the field and every bird of the air and brought them to Adam to see what he would call them. And whatever Adam called each living creature, that was its name. So Adam gave names to all cattle, to the birds of the air, and to every beast of the field. But for Adam, there was not found a helper comparable to him. Okay? So it's a very interesting scripture. Now, keep in mind, I've already done an in-depth study on Genesis, chapters 1, 2, 3, and four. You're more than welcome to go check all that out. So chapter one is a planning phase. It's like creating the blueprints for the world. So in in essence, you can look at it as God assembling all the materials that he needs for the world that he was making. So in essence, he's in his workshop. He's got his workbench. He's got a bowl here filled with water. That's going to be the ocean. A bowl here filled with earth. That's going to be the earth. So it's a planning phase. And when you read Genesis 2:1, you'll see the application in movement like the earth is now operating and and in motion and God is putting in all the elements as it functions more very clear when you look at it from that perspective. That's what Genesis 1 and 2 is talking about. So here and in Genesis 1, you know, he talks about forming man out of earth uh and forming warm man in his image. So you hear him talk about that, but you don't see him applied yet. So here in chapter 2, he's applied, but notice Eve is not there because God talks about he needs a helper comparable to him. So let's go look at that that last part of the scripture there. But for Adam, there was not found a helper comparable to him. So Eve is not in the picture yet. So Adam is naming all these animals. Adam and God are bonding. They're having they're relating to one another. They're getting to know one another. God is getting to know his beloved because this is his offspring. In his image were made. And that is incredible because you know God did something. You guys have no idea. You got to really think this through. We are such a complex being that um we can't create that out of anything else we try. Look at my study on evolution. You will see that we cannot do that. So we have offspring and then the gift of life, the breath of life goes into the newborn and then becomes a person in his image. So this is it's very interesting how God created all of this. Okay. So, but there's something interesting here. There's a mystery here. So, he's naming all these animals. Now, you have to understand that every animal that God has ever created was alive at this time. There was no death because there's no sin. Remember, the wages of sin is death. Nobody's died. No animal has died. There's a interesting mystery here. So, Adam being the only human being on the planet in his little world here, God is bringing all these animals. How long did it take Adam to name all the animals when every one of them existed? Now, granted, he's only naming, let's see here, um the beast of the field and the bird of the air, all the cattle and uh so birds, cattle, beast of the field. So that's basically what he was naming. But you're talking dinosaurs, you're talking dogs, cows, horses, zebras, you know, or maybe a zebra came later because it is kind of in the horse kind, if you will. So he's naming kinds. And a kind is its own species, if you will. So he doesn't name poodles and German shepherds. He names a dog. So male and female dog, male and female elephant, male and female giraffe. These are all animals in their own kind. So, there's a lot of them, just not as many as you think. But how long do you think it took him to do that? Days, weeks, months, years, and sin hasn't happened. The sun goes up, the sun comes down. In fact, it doesn't even mention that Adam sleeps. Did he need to sleep? You got to wonder about how the world was then. So, you're looking at this and you're thinking, "Okay, uh, he named him. Don't know how long that took." So, he's not aging because there's no sin in the land. So, if you know, one way to think of it is when the morning came and if Adam did go to sleep and he woke up, he woke up the same person he was the day before. He did not age. He did not uh grow. He is the same the yesterday, that day, and the next day until sin came. Interesting concept, right? So, let's look at what happened when sin came because you're now seeing the earth wasn't aging. You're seeing animals weren't dying. You know that there is no rain on the earth because when we talk about the flood, you're going to see that there was no rain at that time up until the flood. So this is fascinating. The world then was different. God made the world perfect, whole, complete. This is the place for us to be and where we want to be today really. But we live in sin now. And sin changed everything. So let's look at what happened when sin entered the world. So, we're now in Genesis 3:es 4-5. Then the serpent said to the woman, "You will not surely die. For God knows that in the day you eat of it, your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil." The devil lied to Eve. Okay, I'm not going to give you every scripture here. I want you to go and study it for yourself. Look at what happened here. Look at the scene between Adam and Eve and what happened when the serpent came in. So God placed Eve in the garden and then God left. He gave them time for their little honeymoon. So the serpent comes along and he's standing there by that tree of knowledge that God told him not to eat of. And he's convincing Eve, you're not going to die. you're going to be like God. And she's tempted. Now, I want you to realize something. Adam is sitting right next to her. So, she takes the fruit. She takes a bite. He hands it to him. He takes a bite, too. Now, I want you to think about this for a moment because when you really think this through, there is some powerful elements going on here. What if Adam in his conversations with God while naming the animals knew what was going to happen? I would imagine that Adam had a lot of questions. We're curious creatures. We want to know what's going on. So when Eve did that, Adam was in La La Land. He's in his honeymoon. He's as happy as a clam. He's probably not thinking thoroughly through. But when she goes to grab the fruit, either he didn't react fast enough to tell her, "No, no, no, don't do it." Or the fact that he didn't say anything, wonder, I have to wonder. Did already God tell him what was going to happen? And he let it happen. And he could have, he had a choice not to take that bite, but she's his wife. They were a whole the two together. They're not uh they're a half now because they're married. So he's half, she's half, and that's the way that works. So he took that by two. But I want you to see when you go look at those curses because they were cursed. The serpent was cursed, the e Eve was cursed, woman was cursed, and then the earth was cursed, not Adam. Adam didn't sin. You got to understand that. So this is very very interesting because now all of a sudden things look a little bit different when you look at this transaction that takes place. Now something did happen you know and if you take a look at some scientists today and ancient aliens even they are acknowledging this is that they think it's an evolution and that somewhere along the lines something came along and changed the concept of mankind from you know being cavemen to today but it this change did take place. Eve and Adam knew they were naked. They knew. So they actually had a change, a physical change in the mental sense. They became aware that they are naked beings and that they sinned and they have shame. Now this was a concept that didn't come in until that very very moment. Now the devil did lie because he said you won't die. Well hold on a second. Let's look at the physical evidence here. Remember this is factual historical evidence. Genesis 5:5. So all the days that Adam lived were 930 years and he died. Wait a second. Okay. So he did die. Eve eventually died too. I It doesn't document her age when she died. So he lived 930 years. That's a long time. He didn't sin. He wasn't living in sin. But the moment they took that fruit and they ate of it, that was day one. and sin aging began. But prior to that moment, there was no aging on the earth. Okay. Now, I want to show you the first document. Well, the second document of sin. Eve is the first document. Here's the second document of sin in Genesis. Watch this. Genesis 4:8. Now Cain talked with Abel his brother and it came to pass when they were in the field that Cain rose up against Abel his brother and killed him. Now you can go again read the story the event. It's not a story the event in total to see what was going on between Cain and Abel. Cain got pretty jealous and bitter because God rejected his offering and he accepted Cain's and so he got mad at him and he killed him and he let it bubble up. Well, that's sin number two documented in Genesis. Now, that's very interesting because what's going on here is if Adam lives 930 years and now the earth is starting to get populated, death comes in the picture quicker. We've got a murder that takes place. Now, let's continue on. Now all the patriarchs that lived during that time 10 generations they lived 800 900 plus years and these are not um uh uh these are true years 365 days a year. This is not uh an analogy. This is these are actual years. The the root word in Genesis applies this as a year. So please understand again this is factual evidence and sin changed the element of our aging. This is why evolution can't happen. This is another reason why evolution can't happen. They they're still looking at it as we've just evolved. No, no, no. There was an actual change in mankind that took place and it happened at the moment that Adam and Eve partake of the fruit that they weren't supposed to. So let's go look at the next documented sin again. Here we are at another murder. Genesis 4:23. Then Lamech said to his wives, Ada Azilla, hear my voice. Wives of Lamech, listen to my speech for I've killed a man for wounding me, even a young man for hurting me. Now he he's acknowledging he killed this guy and it sounds like he did it out of revenge for hurting him and not giving forgiveness. So you've got another documented sin here. Now the world is populating. So you've got murder taking place. So animals have got to be dying in this time frame because God had killed an animal to clothe Adam and Eve. So now they're killing animals to eat. So they're eating of the earth and they're eating of the meat. So this is now the new earth that is in play and things are happening rapidly. Eve is having children and as she's having children, her great great grandchildren are having children at the same time she's having children. So, who knows how many kids she ended up having because it does not document it. But it had to be a lot boys and girls and then they started mating as they became adults. 930 years is a long time. So, just talking from Adam's age perspective. So, up to the flood, you're talking about 1500 years. So this is very very interesting that you're seeing something here totally different of the way the world was at that time because now God says something different. Okay? So you've got the documented sin of Eve, the documented sin of Cain, and the documented sin of Lamech. But the world is populating. Look what God says next about sin. Genesis 6:5. Then the Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth and that every intent of his of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. Oh now if you really want to know what this is implying and this is actually fascinating what he says here is uh the book of Jasher and the book of Enoch and it could be just one or the other and I'm don't remember off the top of my head but you can go look those up. They may not be part of the Bible, but they have historical records that align with the Bible. So, they're very good information to have. Uh, but they talk about the neighborhood and what it was like. And people were living in such a way that they were trying to well, people didn't sleep or did very little sleep because they were guarding their home because they knew their neighbor was after their goods or even their lives. So, it was a, you know, I got to protect myself because I know that neighbor is creepy and he's coming after me if I let my guard down. That's the idea of how that was. Uh, and of course, it was also the idea of what can I make myself feel good with? Well, if I kill you, I'll feel good. it. So that mentality was going on. And you can see that mentality creeping into society today. I mean, look at what the the women who are protesting about having a pro-choice. They're walking around with blood between their legs and baby dolls between their legs and hitting them. And it's like, you just murdered a baby. And in their mind, no, I have the right to do that. And it's like, whoa, whoa. You don't have the right to murder someone. You have the right to not get into bed with unprotected sex, but you don't have the right to murder a baby. It's got blood. The blood of life. You can't live without blood flowing through your veins. And this is why they're showing you the blood all over themselves. We want to remove that life. That's the mentality. That's the demonic activity behind all of this. So, you've got this concept that comes into the time of Noah and the flood. Now, we all know in science that they did prove the flood took place. So, let's look at what the Bible says about the flood because I really want to apply some scriptures here about it. So, I don't want you just to assume what the story is. At the same time, I do want you to go look at the scriptures and learn of them and study them for yourselves because you'll get more out of it from when you read it. versus somebody interpreting it for you. Amen. Genesis 7:10 through11. It came to pass after seven days that the waters of the flood of of the flood were on the earth. In the 600th year of Noah's life, the patriarchs were living long lives. There was now Noah like Lot was living in a time where there was sin around him, but he was not sinning. He was considered a righteous man is what God called him. And notice he's already 600 years old when the flood is coming. So here in the 600 year of Noah's life in the second month, the 17th day of the month, on that day all the fountains of the great deep were broken up and the windows of heaven were open and the rain was on the earth 40 days and 40 nights. Now I want you to see something here. That is what this message is all about. every person living in sin and the righteous that were not going to make it through the flood which was Methuselah. He was the last uh patriarch and righteous man there. He died. His name actually meant that when he died this flood was coming that um all of them had their lives shortened because they lived in sin. They did not have the right to live past the 600, 700, 800, 900 year because they lived in sin. Oh, sin and aging are they go hand in hand. And so now I want you to see how long Noah actually lived. And this was even after the flood. Again, though, they're repopulating the earth. So there's not a lot of people. They are sinning. We're going to get to that in a minute. And you're going to see the dynamics change here. and shift because God had to make some big changes at this moment. But look how long Noah lived. Says here in Genesis 9:29, so all the days of Noah were 950 years and he died. He outlived Adam and he went through the flood. Oh hallelujah. So God takes righteous people and he will let you live. You have the blessing of life to live. Amen. That is the gift of life from God. God is the gift of life. And when you spend time with God, you have life. Oh, this message is awesome. And I really want you to grab it. Now, again, I'm not going to go into all the scriptures after the flood, but you can go and look at this. Genesis, the book of Jasher, the book of Jasher and Genesis are very similar books. Um, Jasher goes into a little more detail. You'll find out about Abraham as a young man where you don't see that in Genesis. So, it's very interesting how Abraham discovers who God is. It's a really fascinating story. You might want to get in there and take it out. Take a look at it. So, what happens is after the flood takes place, Noah and his family repopulate the earth. So, children are having children, they're marrying, they're having children. So, uh Noah's sons are having children and then their children children are all marrying. And anyways, so about the fourth, third to fifth generation, somewhere's right around there was a guy named Nimrod. And uh now God had told mankind, go populate the earth, be fruitful and multiply. So go out. That's what he told them to do. They stayed. And not only did they stay, they followed this guy Nimrod and decided to build a tower because Nimrod had it in his mind. I'm going to get as tall as God so I can kick his butt. I'm going tell you right now, I don't know what this man was thinking, but it he was way off the mark because God's looking going, "Yeah, really? You're gonna do that? Go for it. Let's see how far you get." So something happens here because I I want you to understand something. So God destroys the earth. He didn't end mankind. He let Noah and his family survive knowing full well what mankind was going to do again. They've already done it once. They're going to do it again. But you know what God was thinking? And I'm pretty confident of this. may not be biblical scripture, but I'm pretty confident of this. He knew that Lisa and any other righteous person living today was going to call on him and believe. He already said though scripturally that he was going to send his son to redeem us. He already had that in the plan. He knew what he was doing. He was going into that plan. So Jesus was coming. So he allowed this to happen and he allowed it to continue on because he knew about those of us still who hadn't been born yet who would believe. And he says they're going to love me and I want to give them that chance. Incredible. I just love the Lord so much. So the tower of babel takes place a great earthquake happens at this time and the tower of babel and the earthquake are documented in Genesis. You will see uh there's more information in the book of Jasher but look at this very interesting scripture and I got to show this to you because I want you to understand how the world was then and how it is now. which is why science is struggling with this. Okay, so look at this interesting scripture out of the blue. Genesis 10:25. To Eber were born two sons. The name of one was Palele. For in his days the earth was divided and his brother's name was Jckton. In his days the earth was divided. Wait, all the continents weren't all one or weren't separate pieces? That's interesting. So basically what he's saying here is that after the Tower of Babel and that earthquake takes place, this kid pale is born and by the way that's a root root word and it means shaking and rushing of water coming up. Okay. So basically when this great earthquake happened, by the way, Nimrod documents the statement at that time because he survived the earthquake and he said, "Oh, God saved me from my enemies." I hope he called on God to believe at the end, but I don't think he did. But anyways, whatever the case was, this guy survives. He documents that the earth did have a great shaking at this time and that's when the continents pulled apart. So let's understand what happened here. Sin sin caused the flood. You know God brought in the flood. Now God made the earth perfect. So all the earth was one piece of land. And you know what? Most scientists actually agree with that. They just think it was billions of years ago. But they all agree that Panga, which is all the contents put together, all existed as one in the past. And that is actually a true statement. They did exist as one. It's when Paleleg was born, when that great earthquake happened, that's when they broke. And this was after the flood. And this was after the Tower of Babel. So, and in fact, they have this also documented. This is where all the cultures came into be because when the Tower of Babel was broken, language was broken. And so you had all these people split apart. So you had Asians over here, Hispanics over here, Indians over here, uh, Europeans over here. So you had all of these different cultures. And when the land broke apart, those cultures were on their own piece of land. And now all of a sudden, you've got cultures in existence, different culture, and they all came into existence at the same time. And in fact, they all talk about the flood, every single one of them. And they all talk about eight people surviving. It's a a factual event that took place and it's because of sin. So sin when the water God broke the fountains of the deep and they became weak. So when mankind started sinning again and going building this tower following this guy and not spreading out and populating the earth being fruitful multiplying no instead God says okay this is weak. I'm going to break I'm going to cause a shaking. And he shook the ground and it was the weight of sin that broke it further. And and if you take a look, you drive through a mountain, look at the mountains and how everything it's broken. Everything is broken. I mean, it's beautiful. We live in it today. We live in this brokenness. And in fact that's when age started slowing uh excuse me increasing in speed meaning they got they died at a younger age. So this is when all of this change took place because now sin is prominent in the world. It is a major factor in the world. People are living in sin and they're born in it and they just go with it. And it took the redemption of Jesus Christ to come to change that and to give us the element of that. So now and in fact just kind of show you how God is still talking about this. This is very very important. I want you to understand you do not have the gift of life if you're living in sin. He will end your life prematurely. Look what he did here to Sodom and Gomorrah. Genesis 19:24-25. Then the Lord rained brimstone and fire on Sodom and Gomorrah from the Lord out of the heavens. And so he overthrew those cities, all the plain, all the inhabitants of the cities, and what grew on the ground. He said, "You're going to live in sin. This is what I'm going to do to you." And sin is pleasurable. You know, people get hooked up to, but you got to break free from it and make a stand and say, "God, I choose you." And and I will tell you right now, you keep looking back at sin, you got a problem. Lot's wife here, go back, read these scriptures. She she desired it so much and was missing it that, you know, she turned into a pillar of salt. She just dried up. How many people do you look at today that are dried up, been on drugs, had a rough life really, and they could be 50 years old, but they look like they're 70. I'm telling you, sin and age go right hand in hand. And if you there is no magical bottle of illusion that you can take that's going to help you look younger or feel younger on the inside. You know, you've got to repent and you got to spend time with God because when you spend time with God, there's no sin there and that means the aging slows. We're still living in an earth surrounded by sin. Lot didn't live that long either, but you know, he was able to live past the destruction of those two cities. In fact, God refused to destroy those two cities until Lot was removed. And read the conversation that God had with Abraham. Abraham's like, "Is it 50 people, 30 people, 20 righteous people living in the city? Would you destroy it?" He said, "No, all the way to 10 people." Meaning, there was less than 10 people in the city that was righteous. And the less than 10, God says, "I'm taking you out." Which was Lot, his wife, and two daughters. And uh the wife didn't make it. So sin is what does this to you? What destroys things? Our government looks like they're trying to destroy the it's sin. They're living in sin. They're accepting sin. Those that approach choice are accepting sin. When living as a homosexual is sin because God calls it, you're not being fruitful and multiply. You cannot be fruitful man on man or woman on woman. So, you're sinning. Lying is sinning. Murder is sinning. You want to sin? Hey, go for it. I'm just telling you, your life will be cut short. That's one of the consequences. And two, not only will you be aging faster, but you're missing out on the blessings that God has for you here and now. And just because we have eternity with him, your eternity can begin now. And no matter what hell is going on out here, you're still at peace and have a joy within you. And you get to look young and free. And people people come up to me all the time and say, "I can't believe you have grandchildren." Yeah, I have grandchildren. Yes, I do. I I I'm grateful that I look as young as I am, but I know that I'm aging. I know I live in sin, but I repented because Jesus came back and did something for us. Look at this. John 3:15 through17. that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that whoever believes in him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send his son into the world to condemn the world but that through the world through him might be saved. He wants to save you on top of it all. He wants to save you. And you know, I I want you guys to realize that we're coming into a very serious time or well, we're in a serious time. Uh Matthew 24, Luke 21, Mark 13 are being fulfilled right in front of us. And it does talk about this generation shall not pass away. So interesting enough how this is fulfilling. Now we are on the tail end of things. So, Genesis is the beginning. It's what started it. And all of this time, we've been living in sin because that's how things change. That's how things were moved. So, now something is getting revealed. And I want you to see what's coming because you've got to be able to repent and know that you're repenting for something that's better. Okay? And we don't have better here on this earth because this earth is sin. Okay? Understand that. Look at what Paul says here in 2 Thessalonians 2:8-12. And then the lawless lawless one will be revealed whom the Lord will consume with the breath of his mouth and destroy with the brightness of his coming. The coming of the lawless one is according to the working of Satan with all power signs and lying wonders and with all unrighteous deception among those who perish because they did not receive the love of the truth that they might be saved. And for this reason God will send them strong delusion that they should believe the lie that they all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but have pleasure in unrighteousness. That's what's happening now. People have this delusion. Talking about women with pro-choice. They have a delusion. Look at this. He says, "With all unrighteous deception among those who perish, you are dying with unrighteousness." And as long as you're doing that, you did not receive the love of the truth that you might be saved. When you reject Jesus, you reject God, you live in unrighteousness, you live in sin, your life is cut short. You do not have the gift of life which is God. God is the gift of life. Very first scripture that I read. Understand what's happening here. And if you take a look at that scripture, go back to the beginning part of it. He says, "Look what the the Lord's going to do to this uh individual here. Look at this. This lawless one. He's going to consume with the breath of his mouth and destroy with the brightness of his coming. This guy's destined for destruction. Don't follow him. You need to repent. You need to repent. Remember what Romans 10:9 says 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. You have to repent. And I'm telling you, if you really want to look younger, so even though we don't live the lifespans of what it was like prior to sin being a a dominant element here in the earth today, we still can look young in our age. Amen. And that means spending time with God. That means repenting. That means giving him the glory, living for him. And I'm going to tell you right now, eternity with God is what you want. You do not want to be left here during this strong after this strong delusion is gone that you know this generation is not going to pass away. God takes people. Look at all my previous messages. He did the rapture. He's he took Enoch. He took Elijah. He's going to take the righteous next. That's what's coming. So all this stuff is being fulfilled and that's what's coming. And then you don't want to be left here. being left here is I'll give you just a sample. The first five months you cannot die and there's going to be these horselike scorpion things coming to sting you and you're thinking God is a loving God. When you reject him, he's he's got feelings. He got rejected. So, he's trying to get your attention to wake you up. You're going to be stuck here going through that pain and suffering and then you're going to have to die for him. That's even worse. go in the rapture. It's just so much easier, better. But you got to be righteous. That means you got to repent and you got to live for God. Romans 10:9, confess. Go to God. And if you're angry with him, you know what? It's okay to be angry with God. You know, he's a big guy. He can't handle it. But go to him and talk to him about it. Tell him you're upset. Tell him you, you know, love should be love. Love is love. God. Let him talk to you back though. You need to open up the Bible and find out what he says and get an understanding of it so that your heart and mind lines up with God and you have the established blessings and promises that are written in the word of God. The rapture being one of them. Amen. All right, let's close in a word of prayer. Father God, we bless this message and we thank you for your blessing on it. We thank you for the revelation Previous Next Home

THE NINETY-NINE To strengthen believers in their identity as the ninety-nine — those who remain steadfast in Christ — by revealing how God both rejoices over the one who returns and trusts the faithful to endure through the power of the Holy Spirit. This teaching will clarify how believers stray, how they remain secure, and how knowledge of the Word keeps us grounded, focused, and victorious until Christ returns. < Back THE NINETY-NINE Minister Lisa Kane March 4, 2026 Objective: To strengthen believers in their identity as the ninety-nine — those who remain steadfast in Christ — by revealing how God both rejoices over the one who returns and trusts the faithful to endure through the power of the Holy Spirit. This teaching will clarify how believers stray, how they remain secure, and how knowledge of the Word keeps us grounded, focused, and victorious until Christ returns. Synopsis: In The Ninety-Nine, Minister Lisa Kane explores the parable of the lost sheep in Luke 15 and Matthew 18, shifting the focus from the one who strays to the ninety-nine who remain. While heaven rejoices over the one who repents, this teaching highlights a powerful truth: the ninety-nine represent faithful believers who keep their eyes fixed on Christ and continue running the race. How does one stray? By taking their eyes off God and neglecting the knowledge of His Word. But those who remain grounded in Scripture, strengthened by the Holy Spirit, and anchored in faith are trusted by God to stand firm while He seeks the lost. Through scriptures such as 2 Timothy 4:7, Galatians 6:9, John 14–17, Colossians 3:1-3, and 1 John 4:4, this message reveals that believers are not abandoned. Jesus prepared a place for us, left us His Helper and peace, and prayed prophetically that none would be lost. This teaching calls believers to remember who they are — the ninety-nine — secure, equipped, and empowered. Stand on the knowledge of God. Keep your eyes on Him. Do not stray. And rest in the assurance that even if you stumble, the Good Shepherd will pursue you with rejoicing. You are kept. You are trusted. You are His. Inspired Teaching: Luke 15:2-7 NKJV 2 And the Pharisees and scribes complained, saying, “This Man [a]receives sinners and eats with them.” 3 So He spoke this parable to them, saying: 4 “What man of you, having a hundred sheep, if he loses one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the wilderness, and go after the one which is lost until he finds it? 5 And when he has found it, he lays it on his shoulders, rejoicing. 6 And when he comes home, he calls together his friends and neighbors, saying to them, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep which was lost!’ 7 I say to you that likewise there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine [b]just persons who need no repentance. This parable is talking about salvation. I published a teaching called Lost and Found on January 9, 2026, pointing out salvation through these parables taught in Luke 15. That teaching focused on what salvation is and how it differs between the different moments in life all of face. And just like the coin that the woman lost in Luke 15:8, (taught in Lost and Found), here one strays from the group, in essence becomes lost. The coin symbolizes losing the value of the benefits that we receive as believers in Christ. You can check this out in Lost and Found. Let’s read this further in Matthew 18. Matthew 18:10-14 NKJV 10 “Take heed that you do not despise one of these little ones, for I say to you that in heaven their angels always see the face of My Father who is in heaven. 11 For[c] the Son of Man has come to save that which was lost. 12 “What do you think? If a man has a hundred sheep, and one of them goes astray, does he not leave the ninety-nine and go to the mountains to seek the one that is straying? 13 And if he should find it, assuredly, I say to you, he rejoices more over that sheep than over the ninety-nine that did not go astray. 14 Even so it is not the will of your Father who is in heaven that one of these little ones should perish. In this teaching, I want to focus on the ninety-nine. So, who are the ninety-nine, and how does one become separated from the whole? The ninety-nine are the saved believers in Christ. In Matthew’s version, we read that the one ‘strayed’ from the ninety-nine. How does a believer stray? By taking his/her eyes off of God and not recognizing the knowledge of the Word of God in us. The ninety-nine keep the race. They do not take their eyes off of God. They remain focused staying on the Word of God through the knowledge we receive every time we read His word. 2 Timothy 4:7 NKJV 7 I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Galatians 6:9 NKJV 9 And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart. And yet, God and His angels celebrate greatly when the one that strayed, became lost is once again found, brought back to the fold. But what about the ninety-nine? God doesn’t rejoice over us keeping the faith. He TRUSTS us to maintain while He leaves to go get the lost. John 14:1-4 NKJV “Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me. 2 In My Father’s house are many [a]mansions; if it were not so, [b]I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also. 4 And where I go you know, and the way you know.” God is trusting us to keep the faith but He won’t let us get too far away. Jesus goes to prepare a place for us, but didn’t leave us alone. He left us the Helper, Comforter, the Holy Spirit, and a peace in which we do not fear while He is away getting the lost and establishing a place for us. John 14:25-28 NKJV 25 “These things I have spoken to you while being present with you. 26 But the [g]Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you. 27 Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. 28 You have heard Me say to you, ‘I am going away and coming back to you.’ If you loved Me, you would rejoice because [h]I said, ‘I am going to the Father,’ for My Father is greater than I. Jesus leaves the ninety-nine and leaves us prepared with His comforter, and His peace. Meaning, we have everything we need to get through our life here on earth. He expects the ninety-nine to walk with the Helper, Comforter, Holy Spirit until He returns. John 17:12 NKJV 12 While I was with them [e]in the world, I kept them in [f]Your name. Those whom You gave Me I have kept; and none of them is [g]lost except the son of [h]perdition, that the Scripture might be fulfilled. Jesus prayed to God that He will not lose one. So, He will always go after the one who strayed, while the rest who do not stray are safe and secured under His prophecy prayer in John 17 and under the Helper, Comforter, the Holy Spirit. John 17:1-5 NKJV Jesus spoke these words, lifted up His eyes to heaven, and said: “Father, the hour has come. Glorify Your Son, that Your Son also may glorify You, 2 as You have given Him authority over all flesh, that He [a]should give eternal life to as many as You have given Him. 3 And this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent. 4 I have glorified You on the earth. I have finished the work which You have given Me to do. 5 And now, O Father, glorify Me together [b]with Yourself, with the glory which I had with You before the world was. Take the time and read the rest of John 17. Jesus is praying and prophesying over each of us. This is knowledge that we need to stand strongly on. Hosea 4:6a NKJV 6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Because you have rejected knowledge,… Let’s not forget who we are. We are the ninety-nine that God has placed us under the Helper, Comforter, Holy Sprit who will keep us and walk us through anything we face. Colossians 3:1-3 NKJV If then you were raised with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ is, sitting at the right hand of God. 2 Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth. 3 For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. 1 John 4:4 NKJV 4 You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world. And remember, the parable of the one going astray in Matthew 18 is written in the context of the little ones, children. Matthew 18:6 NKJV 6 “But whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to sin, it would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck, and he were drowned in the depth of the sea. Matthew 18:10-11 NKJV 10 “Take heed that you do not despise one of these little ones, for I say to you that in heaven their angels always see the face of My Father who is in heaven. 11 For[c] the Son of Man has come to save that which was lost. Be a child of God and stand on His Word. You are saved by Him going to the cross redeeming you. Keep the race. Keep your eyes on Him, and don’t stray but know that Jesus will always bring you back and rejoice over it. Previous Next Home

GODS GIFT TO THE WORLD DO YOU BELIEVE The objective of this message is to highlight Jesus Christ as the greatest gift ever given to humanity by God. The teaching encourages listeners to reflect on the true meaning of Christmas—the birth of the Savior—and challenges them to personally consider their faith: Do you believe? The purpose is to inspire believers to receive and share the gift of salvation with others through faith in Jesus Christ. < Back GODS GIFT TO THE WORLD DO YOU BELIEVE Minister Lisa Kane December 22, 2023 Objective: The objective of this message is to highlight Jesus Christ as the greatest gift ever given to humanity by God. The teaching encourages listeners to reflect on the true meaning of Christmas—the birth of the Savior—and challenges them to personally consider their faith: Do you believe? The purpose is to inspire believers to receive and share the gift of salvation with others through faith in Jesus Christ. Synopsis: In this Christmas message, Lisa focuses on the profound truth that Jesus Christ is God’s ultimate gift to the world. Beginning with 1 Peter 4:10–11, the teaching reminds us that as we have received this gift, we are called to be good stewards of it by sharing God’s grace with others. The birth of Jesus, described humbly in Luke 2, demonstrates how the Son of God left the riches of heaven to enter the world in simplicity, becoming the Savior for all. Lisa emphasizes that the angelic proclamation to the shepherds was not just a story, but a true historical event testifying to Christ’s arrival. Scriptures such as 1 John 5:20, John 1:12–14, and John 3:15–17 confirm that through belief in Jesus, we are given eternal life and the right to become children of God. The message asks a pressing question: Do you believe? Salvation is not based on rituals or works but on faith, as seen with the thief on the cross. Romans 10:9 makes it clear that confessing Jesus as Lord and believing in His resurrection brings salvation. As Christmas is celebrated, Lisa encourages everyone to remember and share this ultimate gift—the name of Jesus. The message closes with a prayer of thanksgiving, urging believers to glorify God for sending His Son and to carry the gift of salvation into the lives of others. Inspired Teaching: Hello and welcome to the House of Faith Ministries. I'm Lisa Kaine. I'm recording this on Friday, December 22nd, 2023. Welcome. This message is called God's Gift to the World. Do you believe? Let's open up in a word of prayer. Father God, we thank you for your word. We thank you for your presence and we thank you for the greatest gift that we could ever receive, Father God. And that G gift is your son, the name of Jesus. And I thank you, Jesus, for going to the cross and dying for me and for everyone else so that we our sins are redeemed and pardoned. Thank you, Father God. In the glorious name of Jesus, we pray. Amen. And amen. Amen. Well, merry Christmas to all. We are This is the last message I'll be teaching before Christmas. I'll do one more before New Year's, but this is called God's Gift to the World. Do you believe? Our opening scripture here is 1 Peter 4:10 and 11. As every man hath received the gift, even so minister the same one to another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God. If any man speak, let him speak as the oracles of God. If any man minister, let him do it as if as of the ability which God giveth, that God in all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be praise and dominion forever and ever. Amen. Jesus Christ is the son of God and he is the gift the only gift that we can ever ever look at and and receive and truly believe and I the question I have for you um just before this Christmas do you believe do you believe let's go look at the testimony of what happened this is going to be just a simple easy message just giving God the glory and thanking his son for what he's done. Amen. Luke 2:7. And she bought forth she brought forth her firstborn son and wrapped him in swaddling clothes and laid him in a manger because there was no room for them in the end. Mary and Joseph. So neat to see how the son of God came. So humbled. I mean it is so believable for the fact alone that they acknowledge that they put him in swaddling clothes and in a manger. He wasn't born to richness. He came from richness. He came from glory. He came from honor. He descended from heaven to become a man. And here the scriptures tell us that he was born verses uh 8-16 in that same Luke chapter 2. Let's continue on. And there were in the same country country shepherds abiding in the field keeping watch over their flock by night. Now, I'm not going to go into this entire event that took place, but I want to show you the scriptures so that you know that this is true because the Bible is true. And u as these shepherds are out here, they're just doing their job, but they testify to the son of God being born. Amen. And lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them, and they were sore afraid. And the angel said unto them, "Fear not, for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people." Oh, what did God do here? Because God did something for you and I. the greatest ultimate gift that we could ever receive and believe in. Amen. Verse 11, for unto you is born this day in the city of David, a Savior, which is Christ the Lord. And this shall be a sign unto you, ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger. And suddenly there was the angel, a multitude of heavenly hosts. And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly hosts praising God and saying, "Glory to God in the highest and on earth peace, good will toward men. And it came to pass as the angels were gone away from them into heaven." The shepherd said one to another, "Let us now go even unto Bethlehem, and see this thing which is come to pass, which the Lord hath made known unto us." and they came with haste and found Mary and Joseph and the babe lying in a manger. You know, a lot of people would like to get semantic about this, but the re the reality of it is let's just put aside all the little details here. The Lord showed himself through angels to the shepherds so that they can go find this baby wrapped in swaddling clothes. And what did he say was for unto you is born this day in the city of David a savior which is Christ the Lord. Why do we need a savior? Well, we all messed up. We've all fallen short of the glory of God. The moment we were born, the the moment we were conceived, we automatically fell because we were born in sin. But God God said to his son Jesus, "Go do this thing for me." Jesus said, "I will do it." And he did. First John 5:20. And we know that the The son of God has come and hath given us an understanding that we may know him that is true and we are in him that is true even in his son Jesus Christ. This is the true God and eternal life. Do you believe? Are you sharing your gift with others? It's the ultimate best gift that you could ever have. You just got to look into your hands and see and say, "Jesus, forgive me. Come into my heart and be my Lord and Savior." John 1:12-14. But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name, which were born not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. And the word was made flesh, and dwelt 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 was made flesh. The word's been there from the beginning. and he came down to his creation in a book and he became alive. And this book is real. These are true events. I do apologize for every teacher and pastor and preacher out there who has called any of this a story because the reality is these are not Sunday school stories. This is not a story. This is true events. Do you believe? Do you believe that Jesus the Christ, the savior, that these shepherds witnessed because of God? Do you believe that he is the son of God for the the walk he did in his life? He walked this earth very simply, healing people, delivering people, saving people. The the thief on the cross never was water baptized. never went door todo, never shared the gospel with anyone, but he knew and he called on Jesus and Jesus accepted him. Do you believe? John 3:15-17 that whosoever believeth in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that whosoever believeth in him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God sent not his son into the world to condemn the world but that the world through him might be saved. Do you believe that you have a way out of all this? You should. His name is Jesus. He saved you and he saved me. Question is, do you believe? And how do I know that? I just have to confess that he's Jesus. Look at this. Romans 10:9. That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God has raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. Do you believe? Do you believe in this gift from heaven that God sent us his son so that we are redeemed and pardoned from our sins? Put aside everything else and just remember that gift as you celebrate the holiday weekend. Remember the ultimate gift, the name of Jesus and share that gift with someone. God bless you. Let's close in a word of prayer. Father God, we thank you for your word and we bless this word and uh thank you for the anointing as you move through my heart, my spirit. I pray that people receive your word and call your name and glorify you in the name of Jesus. Amen and amen. God bless you. Merry Christmas. I'll see you in the next message. Bye bye.

PROACTIVE PRAYING The objective is to teach believers how to move from reactive praying to proactive praying by using the Lord’s Prayer as a spiritual guideline for confession, forgiveness, and faith-filled declaration. This lesson equips believers to pray ahead of future challenges—temptation, loss, sickness, danger, and grief—by confessing Christ, forgiving others, and prophesying God’s Word over their lives, establishing spiritual protection, healing, and peace. < Back PROACTIVE PRAYING Minister Lisa Kane January 2, 2026 Objective: The objective is to teach believers how to move from reactive praying to proactive praying by using the Lord’s Prayer as a spiritual guideline for confession, forgiveness, and faith-filled declaration. This lesson equips believers to pray ahead of future challenges—temptation, loss, sickness, danger, and grief—by confessing Christ, forgiving others, and prophesying God’s Word over their lives, establishing spiritual protection, healing, and peace. Synopsis: In Proactive Praying, Minister Lisa Kane reveals that the Lord’s Prayer is more than a familiar recitation—it is a divine pattern for preparing our hearts and our futures. Drawing from Matthew 6:9–15, this teaching emphasizes that praying “deliver us from the evil one” is an act of praying ahead, asking God to guard us before temptation, hardship, or danger arises. Rather than praying only after something goes wrong, believers are encouraged to pray proactively over their health, relationships, travel, grief, and life seasons yet to come. This lesson highlights confession and forgiveness as the foundation of prayer, supported by Romans 10 and James 2, showing that faith must be spoken and acted upon. Through personal testimony and Scripture, Minister Lisa demonstrates how spoken prayer and forgiveness release healing, protection, and freedom. By praying God’s Word preventatively, believers prophesy peace, establish spiritual authority, and walk confidently into the future with Jesus leading the way. Inspired Teaching: Matthew 6:9-15 NKJV 9 In this manner, therefore, pray: Our Father in heaven, Hallowed be Your name. 10 Your kingdom come. Your will be done On earth as it is in heaven. 11 Give us this day our daily bread. 12 And forgive us our debts, As we forgive our debtors. 13 And do not lead us into temptation, But deliver us from the evil one. [d]For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen. 14 “For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. 15 But if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses. This is called the Lord’s prayer but in reality, it’s more of a guideline to help you pray with a good and healthy spiritual attitude, and it’s even more than that. Did you notice ‘do not lead us into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one’. That is praying for your future. In essence, you’re praying in advance not to be tempted into sin. We need to learn to pray for our future as a preventative measure. I noticed in today’s society that we pray ‘reactively’. We pray when something goes wrong but in reality, we can also pray preventively. If you take a look around your life, you will see elderly people having serious issues. People who are sick. People who have serious issues. People dealing with serious grief and loss of life, etc. If they’re going through it, there’s a good chance you will too. But you have Jesus. In all honesty, I don’t know how people go through these serious issues without Jesus. It’s mind boggling to me. So, what if I told you that you can pray for your future self? Eventually, you know that your grandparents and parents will die. You can start praying now to ask God to help you deal with that. That simply means you will be better prepared…it will still hurt and be a shock, but you know Jesus is helping you through it. The same goes for your health. We see so many people reach their 50’s, 60’s and older have medical issues. You can start praying now asking the Lord to help you stay healthy longer. I learned long ago that if I pray before driving on the road, car accidents are prevented because I gave it to God. Prayer is the center of our walk with God, and it starts with forgiveness. Matthew 6:14-15 NKJV 14 “For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. 15 But if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses. Romans 10:5-10 NKJV 5 For Moses writes about the righteousness which is of the law, “The man who does those things shall live by them.” 6 But the righteousness of faith speaks in this way, “Do not say in your heart, ‘Who will ascend into heaven?’ ” (that is, to bring Christ down from above) 7 or, “ ‘Who will descend into the abyss?’ ” (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead). 8 But what does it say? “The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart” (that is, the word of faith which we preach): 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. 10 For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. Confession and forgiveness are the foundation of prayer. It establishes our relationship with the Lord. Both Matthew and Romans tells us this. Another way to say this is that when we forgive and confess we are prophesying a new future over ourselves. We’re speaking the Word of God over our situation. Earlier, I stated that I pray before going driving. I had to because over 30 years ago, I had a really bad day. I day I know that I was under attack. My 3-year-old daughter fell out of a second story window, and on the way to the ER, we were rear ended by a drunk driver. While we were exchanging information with the other driver, I stood in that parking lot and said “No weapon formed against me will prosper. Devil get lost. This ends here and now.” After that day, I pray this before driving: Dear Jesus, let this be a safe and quick drive to ‘wherever’ with no tickets and no accidents. In Jesus’ Name Amen’. We haven’t been in an accident since. In essence, I’m prophesying over that drive…and I do this whether it’s a short trip to the grocery store, or a long road trip. I apply this prayer always whenever I’m getting in a car, and whether I’m driving or not. I know this works because there have been some close calls. You see, confession puts God first. You confess to become saved and you confess stating outright what you believe. Then the scriptures tells us to forgive. In essence, you’re taking it another step forward. You’re saying to God, ‘listen Lord, I need You. I need You as Lord over my life, soul, body, etc, and I will forgive those around me too letting You know I mean business.’ This is you acting on your faith. Remember, James 2:20 NKJV 20 But do you want to know, O foolish man, that faith without works is [a]dead? James 2:26 NKJV 26 For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also. You see, it takes a confession of faith to talk with Jesus when you can’t see Him. That’s faith working on your behalf toward salvation. When you verbally, speak out loud to God that you choose to forgive someone, that’s another act of faith. Your saying, “here you go God. This is Your problem now. I’d rather let it go and be free.” When you forgive, you heal yourself. It’s no longer bottled up hardening your cells. This is another form of healing. You’re being healed on the inside of your soul and body. So confession leads toward salvation, deliverance, and healing. Forgiveness follows the footsteps of our savior, Jesus Christ. He forgives all who want forgiveness by what He did on the cross. When you pray preventatively, you’re following in the footsteps of Jesus. Here are scriptures that you can always pray over yourself and your future: Matthew 6:14-15 NKJV 14 “For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. 15 But if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses. Isaiah 54:17 NKJV 17 No weapon formed against you shall prosper, And every tongue which rises against you in judgment You shall condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, And their righteousness is from Me,” Says the Lord. 1 Peter 2:24 NKJV 24 who Himself bore our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live for righteousness—by whose [a]stripes you were healed. Dear Jesus, I forgive myself of my sins, iniquities, and transgressions asking You to forgive as well. Thank You. This also means that no weapon formed against me will prosper. The curses, sicknesses, and diseases against my body stop now. By Your stripes Jesus, I was healed. I accept my healing and pray now for today and all my days going forward that I am healed. In Jesus’ Name Amen! John 16:20 NKJV 20 Most assuredly, I say to you that you will weep and lament, but the world will rejoice; and you will be sorrowful, but your sorrow will be turned into joy. Psalm 30:10-12 NKJV 10 Hear, O LORD, and have mercy on me; LORD, be my helper!” 11 You have turned for me my mourning into dancing; You have put off [e]my sackcloth and clothed me with gladness, 12 To the end that my [f]glory may sing praise to You and not be silent. O LORD my God, I will give thanks to You forever. Lamentations 3:32 NKJV 32 Though He causes grief, Yet He will show compassion According to the multitude of His mercies. If you are suffering with grief, say the above prayer using the above 3 scriptures. You can find scriptures for whatever you are facing and pray those words over your life. Pray preventively with confession and forgiveness today and prophesy the Word of God over yourself and you will see a peaceful future in your life. Previous Next Home

MANIFESTING THE GREAT AND PRECIOUS PROMISES To teach believers how to manifest the great and precious promises of God by gaining true knowledge of His Word, living a life of godliness, and walking in the authority and power of the Holy Spirit through repentance, renouncement, and active faith. < Back MANIFESTING THE GREAT AND PRECIOUS PROMISES Minister Lisa Kane September 28, 2023 Objective: To teach believers how to manifest the great and precious promises of God by gaining true knowledge of His Word, living a life of godliness, and walking in the authority and power of the Holy Spirit through repentance, renouncement, and active faith. Synopsis: In this message, Lisa Kane emphasizes the importance of building faith upon the Word of God as revealed in 2 Peter 1. She begins by committing to teach using the King James Version along with Hebrew and Greek root word studies from Strong’s Concordance, to ensure accuracy and deeper understanding of scripture. The teaching underscores that no prophecy is of private interpretation but is inspired by the Holy Spirit, making God’s Word self-validating across the writings of the prophets and apostles. Knowledge of the Word is revealed as one of the key promises believers must manifest—without it, as Hosea 4:6 warns, God’s people are destroyed. This knowledge leads to life and godliness, producing a chain of growth: diligence → faith → virtue → knowledge → self-control → patience → godliness → kindness → love. Lisa explains that manifesting God’s promises means living actively and fruitfully, not passively or barren. Believers are called to walk in excellence, discernment, and holiness, avoiding corruption and longing for worldly things. By living in this way, Christians can walk without error or stumbling, contrary to the common belief that falling into sin is inevitable. The message also highlights the practical steps of repentance and renouncement. Repentance restores safety, deliverance, and cleansing, while renouncement disowns sinful patterns, declaring to heaven and earth a decisive break from dishonesty and craftiness. Manifesting God’s truth allows believers to live as walking testimonies, visibly transformed and empowered by the Holy Spirit. Finally, Lisa assures that when believers walk in God’s promises, they enter into His everlasting kingdom, partaking in the divine nature and reflecting His glory. This life of godliness is both a present testimony and an eternal inheritance, rooted in Christ’s grace, truth, and authority. Inspired Teaching: Hello and welcome to the House of Faith Ministries. I'm Lisa Kaine and I'm recording this on Thursday, September 28th, 2023. Welcome. This message is called Manifesting the Great and Precious Promises. Let's open up in a word of prayer. Father God, we thank you for your word. We thank you for your anointing. We thank you for your knowledge. And we thank you that we have an understanding of your scriptures that we can manifest those promises that you've given us and live by those promises. Father God, thank you in the glorious name of Jesus. Amen. Amen. So before I delve into here, I want to explain a change I'm going to start doing going forward from this day on in this teaching. I am going to start using the King James version of the Bible versus the New King James Version, which is what I've been using simply because I want to get the scripture in its original text. The original interpretation of the Hebrew and the Greek was the King James version into English and it is the closest meaning. On top of that, I'm also going to take key words in every scripture and I'm going to show you the root word in the Hebrew, what it also could mean. Meaning, if there's a word that says power, I'm going to give you some other uh words in the Hebrew or the Greek of what that word means. All of that is going to come from the Strong's dictionary. Okay? Hebrew and Greek. Now also the way I'm going to do it on my slides when I present scripture parentheses and the words italicized within those parentheses will be those extra words. The bold word will be the original word that was used in the King James version. Okay? And I'm going to try to read the scripture as without it with without those extra words and then with those extra words so that you can get the full complete message out of this. Amen. And reminder, judge me. Judge my teachings. Am I teaching from the scripture? Am I taking it out of context? Am I manipulating it? Am I biased? You judge. You look at it. And you know what? Whether you accept it or reject it, always go to God and always ask him for his uh for his wisdom and his understanding. He will show you that his knowledge. Amen. And then pray for me, please. I could always use the prayer. Amen. All right, let's go to our opening scripture here. We're going to focus a lot on second Peter 1 today. Um, but let's go to the end of what second Peter said. This is our opening scriptures. Knowing this verse that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man, but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost. What I want you to see here is the word of God and its truth. It is knowledge. And the knowledge is one of the promises that we have to being active and manifesting the Holy Spirit's promises, God's promises to us. So, let's delve a little further into the scripture, the word knowing there. And I just did a teaching on this a handful of weeks ago, a a deep teaching the word k n o w simply to show you that there are many there's like five six different interpretations of the word know in the Greek alom well here this one simply means knowing it's to absolutely know so you will know beyond a shadow of a doubt you know you know you know says here you know that first knowing this first that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private it. Look at that. Pertaining to self interpretation or an interpretation just simply means explanation. Self-interpretation. That's not what the Bible is about. It Peter is clearly telling us this because see, we're going to be dealing with knowledge. So, he's telling us straight up, no prophecy of the scripture is of any self-interpretation. meaning that everything that you read in the Bible will interpret itself in one place or another between the different authors that wrote. And these different authors were men. Look at this. For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man, but holy men of God spake as they were moved. That word moved is they they they bared the word that was given to them. They could feel it and they carried it and they carried it to paper to the papyrus to really write it down and it was filled with the anointing of the Holy Ghost or holy means sacred and ghost means air or spirit. So the sacred spirit, sacred air, I would go with Holy Ghost because that is Christianity. If you if you get into more of the air, the the sacred air, the sacred spirit, it can be interpreted into many different other ways and you got to be very very careful and cautious with that. But the reason I wanted to show you the scripture is because we're going to be talking about knowledge. It's one of the promises and it's through that knowledge that we will be manifesting these promises that God has given us. Amen. So, let's go to second Peter. Uh we're going to start here in verse three in chapter one. according to his as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain pertain unto life and godliness through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue. Okay, let's pause here in verse three. I want you to see something here is very very neat and very powerful. This is why I wanted to change my teaching technique to this this methodology says according as his divine power. Look at that word power means force and another word is miracles. God performs miracles, right? So according as his divine miracles, see how you can bring this in in that way. Hath given uh unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness. His power, the force of God, his miracles is what gives us life and godliness. question is whether you believe those miracles, whether you believe that force that that power. That's what it is. And and you know, and don't fall for the force is with you kind of starter wars kind of thing here, but simply to put that there is the Holy Ghost who is moving and he he manifest in us his anointing and we will under we will recognize it and know it as a believer in Christ. When Jesus was baptized and he came up and the dove landed on him, the anointing landed on him. That dove manifested, it it showed everyone around John specifically the one writing that in the Bible showed that this is what I was supposed to see. I see it. I saw he is an eyewitness to it. And that goes to show that the Holy Ghost came Jesus at this time. And the two of them work together. So, and notice this is until life in godliness. How should you live your life? Life, it should be a long life of blessings and godliness. You should be living a godly life. And I know what a lot of churches would teach you is that we're still human. So, we're going to still air. We're still going to fall. We're going to still um mess up because we're in the flesh. Well, I'm going to show you here that we can manifest this godliness and not air or fall. That's what's so powerful about this. But notice it says through the knowledge of him. We got to go look at Hosea real quick because I want you to see something here. Hosea's 4 and6. My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge because thou hast rejected knowledge. I will also reject thee that thou shalt be no priest to me. seen. Thou hast forgotten the law of thy God. I will also forget thy children. This is how important this is. Knowledge. Now, let's let's break it down. Says, "My people are destroyed." Look at that. To be dumb or silent. If you're not manifesting godliness in your life, you are silent or dumb because you're not in knowledge of the word of God in which you should be walking in life and godliness. You catching this? This is very very powerful. For lack of knowledge, look at what this word knowledge. This is Old Testament. It's Hebrew. Cunning aware. Every Christian believer out there should be very cunning. You should know exactly what to pray for. You should be aware of your surroundings and you should know what word of God you should be applying to that situation. What scripture this is something you should know. This is your knowledge that you have. This is what gives you life and life abundantly is the knowledge of the Holy Spirit because thou hast rejected knowledge. Spurn. Did you say spurn or refuse? You're refusing the knowledge. you're refusing to go read the Bible or here's another way to look at this. I and I'm not trying to bring in a self-interpretation. This is an actual fact. People go to church to the pastor or they call up a renowned pastor and they rather hear his interpretation instead of opening the Bible and reading the scriptures for themselves. And what's happening a lot in in the churches right now is you can have your Bible on your phone device or device, whatever device you have and they will put the scriptures up there on the screen for you and it is so lovely. However, is that the scripture? Is it appropriate? You need to be the judge and you need to be learning and thinking am I learning correctly what is being interpret interpretated here or am I being misled. You see that is your responsibility as a recipient of listening to the word of God being taught. The same here this is why I told you to judge me. you know, are you getting the scripture presented to you properly or has it been, how should I say, uh, more like a a rundown version of it. We do need to watch out for Bible versions. NIV is a great example. How many scriptures are missing in that version? And people are missing out on that. So, we have to be aware of this. We have to be knowledgeable because that's what we need to manifest. And as a teacher of the word of God, I need to be manifesting this. This is one of the reasons why I'm choosing to change my format here. But it's just so interesting that you would be dumb or silent because you don't have your canning awareness because you're refusing the knowledge because you're you and then oh and the consequences of that is you won't be a priest. So I've taught that we are priests over over our households, over our children, over our workplace and everything. And to be that priest, you have to have knowledge of the word of God. But look, he says, I will reject ye thee that thou shalt be no priest to me. You know what is a priest? It says here it's from or out of meaning you're you're separated from the world and you mediate in religious services. So you cannot manifest that godliness life and godliness that second Peter talked about if you're rejecting the word of God or you're interpreting it your own way and not having validation within scripture. And then there's even further consequence since you're now because you're being oblivious to this, oblivious to the law of God, to his word, you he says, "I will forget thy children." There's a consequence to your children for you not having this knowledge and not living this godliness because they're going to see you in who you truly are of the world. You see, you can put on your face when you get to church and be, "Oh, I am being godly." But when you get home, your children see the truth and there's a consequence to that. So going back to um second Peter, let's go on to verse four. So knowledge, life and godliness through knowledge, which is the knowing of him that hath called us to glory and virtue. Excellence. We should be excellent in what we stand for with life and godliness. It's a manifestation of his promise, virtue. This is what we should be living as. Go to verse four. Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises. I don't need to interpret that and I didn't put any extra words, but great and precious promises, which is what this message is about. That by these by these great and precious promises, ye might be partakers of the divine. Guess what that word divine translates to? Godhead, the divine nature having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust. You got to see this. Watch the explanation of this. This is awesome. Partakers of the godhead growing, having escaped the corruption that is in this world or the orderly arrangement of things. You see, things are corrupt. Now, this world belongs to the devil. We know that and we live separate from the world. They need to be separate from the world. The world is longing. Look at this. They're through lust. They're longing. Remember Lot's wife coming out of Sodom and Gomorrah. She longed and looked back and she was turned into a pillar of salt. The world is in that corruption. And we should not be in that lust or that longful, that longing for that stuff. We should be separate. Meaning, it shouldn't be impacting you at all. You should be manifesting life and godliness, not longing. Big difference. And this is going to also show you how to this is going to talk to the conscience of the minds of men. We're going to see that in scripture here. Let's continue on in second Peter in chapter 1. We're in verse 5 now. And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith, reliance upon Christ for salvation, virtue, excellence, and to virtue knowledge. Okay, there's like a chain reaction of life and godliness of these great and precious promises that we have. So one, giving all diligence. This is something we need to do. We need to be eager. Eager is another word for giving of all diligence. Giving of all eagerness. Add to your faith. What's faith? Relying upon Christ for salvation. Jesus is the son of God. So I should be eager to rely with to add it to my faith. my eagerness should be adding to my faith, giving me that excellent uh understanding of the word and to knowledge. So the excellence should lead to knowledge. So there's this there's like a map that takes us right to it. Says diligence to faith to virtue to knowledge. Then it goes further. says, "Now, and to knowledge, temperance, which is self-control, and to temperance, patience, which is hopeful endurance, and to patience." There's your godliness. Do you see the path to get to godliness starts with you being eager? It starts with you having faith. It starts with you having the excellence of the knowledge. And it starts and then it goes with self-control. And it looks like you got patience. You're hoping. You can't see it, but you got patience. You're hoping. And then you have that godliness, that pause. All hell's breaking loose, but you can just say, "Peace." And and that's the authority and the power you have. And you get to manifest that through his great promises that are given to us. Then it goes even further because when you start walking in your godliness, this is verse seven. You have kindness. You love the people around you. Now you want to save them. You have a heart for them. And you want them to see God the same way you do. Oh my goodness, this is awesome. And to brotherly kindness. Look at this. Charity, affection, or benevolence, desire to do good. In other words, uh you see somebody like a widow who's in a situation and you realize they need groceries or they need their lawn mowed or their house painted or some things worked on. You desire to do good. It transforms you when you walk in the promises that are given here, these great and precious promises, because now you're walking in godliness and it is manifesting itself around you in all the acts that you do. Look at what else uh Peter says. This is uh second Peter 1:8. For if these things be in you, so that was that whole list we just talked about, and abound, meaning they're manifesting. They're coming out more now. They make you that ye shall neither be what? Barren. Look at that word barren means inactive. Meaning, so now you are actively involved in ministry as you're pouring out the godliness from within. You're not even, look at this, nor unfruitful in the knowledge. Look at what the word, this word knowledge means, recognition, full discernment of our Lord Jesus Christ. So now in this godliness, let's read that again because I think it's powerful. You're abounding more. You are not inactive. You are active. You have more of this manifestation coming out of the knowledge. You're recognizing Jesus Christ. You're discerning Jesus Christ, the son of God, in your life, and he's coming out and he's leading you, and you are walking in his steps. In case you're wondering, I knocked over my box of tissues. But continuing on, look at verse nine. But he that lackth these things is blind. What's that word mean? Opaque, as if smoke, and cannot see a far off. and hath forgotten to take. That's what that word forgotten means. That he was purged, washed off, cleansed from his old sins. That he forgot that he was saved. He was cleansed from his old sins. You see, when you are not entering to finding the secret place with the Lord, the entrance of that, to find the knowledge, guess what? You're forgetting. What is the word forgotten? To take. You're not taking your part in living life and godliness, the manifestation of that to those around you. This is why it's so important that you go learn about God, the secret place. You need to be opening up the Bible. You need to be re uh reading it, interpreting it with the Holy Spirit so that and interpreting it against scripture against scripture so that you can manifest this godliness so people can see what desire of good you have and that you're living it. It's a walking testimony is what it is. And it and then you're not blind. You're seeing you see you're being cunning. You're being aware of everything around you. That's very, very powerful. Look at verse 10. Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence, speed, effort. Now, that's a different diligence than the one before. If we want, we can go back. Let's go. Let let me take the scriptures back with you. Let's go look at the diligence from the beginning. Speed and eagerness. You see that? And then diligence, speed, and effort. This is why we want to look at the word speed and eagerness. We were eager earlier. Now look, he says effort. Our effort in the word of God. Our effort. You see this? Are you getting that? Give effort to make your calling. You are giving the effort. You're opening the Bible. You're taking action. You're not inactive. You are going to in you're going into the knowledge of the word of God to make your calling and I love the word calling. The other word is invitation. You are invited to teach the word of God. You are invited to share your testimony with everyone. You are invited. This is your calling. You are invited. and election. Divine selection chosen. That's what this election. We're selected. We are elected. Chosen. Sure. For if you do these things, ye shall never fall, trip, or error. There's the scripture that tells us we can't mess up when we're walking godliness. Yet, you've got preachers teaching you we're flesh. We're going to mess up. Now, we if you're going to mess up, of course, you just start again. You're going to repent. I'm going to show you how to fix all this and how to make sure this manifests. But if it is manifesting within you and you're living this life, you should not be erring and you should not be tripping because you should be giving it to the Lord. Now, let's read the scripture without the extra words in there because I really want to make sure it's clear for you. Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure. For if you do these things, you ye shall never fall. So now let's read it with the extra words. Wherefore the rather brethren give speed and effort to make your invitation and divine selection your choseness sure for if you do these things you shall never trip or air. So do you see how you should never Peter says the Bible says you should never trip or air. You should never fall. Hallelujah. Because the manifestation of the knowledge of the word of God is coming out of you in all that you do. And it is witnessing to everyone because they're seeing you not fail. They're seeing the genu. That's another thing. They see you genuine. They trust now what you are, who you are because your actions are going to be proving factual and worthy. They're going to see, hey, you went and helped that lady. I need your help. And they will be there. What can I do for you? I want to make things easier for you. I have a desire to do good for you, to do good for God, but I'm going to do it manifested in your life. You see how that works? This is how that works. Look at verse 11. For so an entrance shall be ministered unto you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Now, I know Paul talks about rewards and a lot of the scriptures talk about reward. This is alluding to that. I'm not and I'm not going to go into all of that because that's another teaching very long term. But look at how be minister unto you copiously, richly into perpetual kingdom, your royalty of our Lord Savior Jesus Christ. Let's read that right now. I'm going to read it with the extra words right now. For so an entrance shall be ministered unto you copiously, richly into the perpetual royalty of our Lord Savior Jesus Christ. Now let's read without the extra words. For so an entrance shall be ministered unto you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord Savior Jesus Christ. It takes you all the way into the heavenly realm, your royalty because you are part of the royalty line now. You are adopted into grafted into the holy line, the holy lineage of Israel from David on down. You are through Christ a brother and a sister in the Lord. And now you have, look, it for so an entrance shall be ministered unto you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord Savior. It it goes on for When you live in your life in godliness like this, it pays off for eternity is one way of looking at that. Verse 12, wherefore I will not be negligent to put you always in remembrance. So Peter, I want to get the scripture. Peter is reminding us of this. This is something that we should already be doing and living. Obviously, I'm teaching this. We're not. So this is why he's saying I wherefore I will not be negligent to put you always in remembrance of these things. In other words, he's saying you need to be reminded of these things though you know though ye know them and be established in the present truth. See he knows you already know them. You've already was when you it's like remembering your first love when you first got saved. The manifestation of his holiness was powerful and awesome and your life changed and then it got rooted. Then all hell breaks loose. And you know, we go through that as a Christian in Christ because we have an enemy prowling like a a de lion trying to devour devour us and to destroy us. But because we know this now because we're sure we're firm in his foundation of his word, in his knowledge that look at it this way. Wherefore I will not be negligent to put you always in remembrance of these things, though ye to see them and be confirmed in the at hand or to be near truth. The at hand truth. Ain't that awesome? God God is word. The word of God is absolutely amazing. You should thirst and hunger for it. And I promise you, delving into the word description and definition of each of these words makes it that much more better. Amen. Look at verse 16 and we're still in second Peter chapter 1. For we have not followed cunningly devised fables. Now, the reason I'm bringing these three scriptures in, I want you to see something here. Peter is sharing his witness testimony. Because he's a witness, we can believe his word. And that's what he's saying here. For we have not followed cunningly devised fables when we made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of his majesty. For he received from God the Father honor and glory. When there came such a voice to him from the excellent glory, this is my beloved son. whom I am well pleased and this voice which came from heaven we heard when we were with him in the holy mount. He is testifying to this event. So in essence the scripture is asking you do you believe or not? Do you reject this message or do you accept it? Can you live a life in godliness? Absolutely. Now how because let's go to the how and see the manifestation of godliness in your life where you will not trip and fall. You will not error. You will not fall because the Holy Spirit is what's going to be leading you and guiding you and directing you in this. Amen. Starting with Romans 11:6. And if by grace then it is no more of works. Otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it be of works, then it is no more grace. Otherwise, work is no more work. Now, let's read it with the extra words. And if by grace or gratitude, divine influence upon the heart, we know the word divine means the Godhead. So, this is God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Spirit influencing our heart. This is grace. Because see, grace comes from God. Understand salvation is from the Lord. It's not us. We can't work for it. So he says it comes from God. It's coming from the divine, the Godhead influence on our heart. It's not of works. What does that word works mean? Toil. You do not have to toil. You do not have to work for your grace. God gave it to you already. It is given. Otherwise, grace is no more grace. But if it be were of works, then it is no more grace. Otherwise, work is no more work. You see, we don't have to work for it. And we don't boast for our working. to see if it was work, then some of us can be better at it than others. But it is all equal and fair as grace for everyone. Look at what it says here now in Romans 10. We're going to read verses 12 and 13. For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek. For the same Lord overall is rich unto all that call upon him. Verse 13, for whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. Now, what I want you to see here is very, very powerful. Call upon. You need to call upon. You You're the one that's opening the Bible. You're the one who needs to call upon Jesus Christ, the son of God. You speak it. This is reaffirming it. Says, let's read it with the extra words now. For the same Lord over all is become wealthy. God becomes wealthy. Did you know that if you go to Malachi and I'll let you do some homework as I like to teach you, we are a jewelry that he's forming us into a piece of jewel that he wants to wear us. We're precious. When you look at a diamond and you want to wear your rings, your necklaces is precious. It is refined. It is beautiful. Well, that is what God is doing to us and preparing us for that. And that is what life and godliness is all about. So take a look at this. Uh he becomes wealthy. God becomes wealthy unto all that call upon him. Look what that call upon to entitle to invoke him. You invoke the name of Jesus. You call on the name of Jesus. Look at what it says. Now let's look at the extras. For whosoever invokes the name of the Lord shall be remember that word saved means safe delivered. I have a lot of people who email me on a almost daily basis now in where they're saying they're not safe. They've got things being thrown at them. Their mind is under torment. They can't sleep. They're being tortured. Well, guess what? This message is for you because look at what it says. When you invoke the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, the son of God, you shall be safe, delivered. You see, saved also implies eternity. Wonderful. But safe implies the here and now in whatever situation you're feeling or being tormented about. And delivered means from the inside out. Now the manifestation of his godliness that he places in you is what comes out. That is amazing. So where am I going with this? Because now I want you to see we are talking about repentance and renouncement. Now I'm going to say something here very boldly. I've noticed this in the people I've been ministering to uh through email with the the House of Faith Ministries. Um I think all of them have always said I've repented already. I want you to understand something about repentance. Yes, repentance is wonderful. That sets your salvation in in motion. But repentance leads to salvation, leads to deliverance, leads to being safe. So when you repent again, it sets everything safe. I want you to see that. I want you to get that. This is why. Go to Job chapter one. Every time, and I I share this usually when I'm talking to someone who says that they've already repented. What Job did is when his kids would have these parties, they would forget or he he was worried. He'd be there the next morning and he'd be um sacrificing the bulls, rams, what have you. And he said, "And just in case they cursed God while they were partying," he would do that because that's how much he loved them. But it was repentance for them over again. Look at repentance. First John 1:9, if we confess, look at covenant. And it's another word. If we co covenant our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sin, lay aside and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness, injustice. If you think you're being treated unjustly or you know, you've you've got something going against you, it's probably because you're walking in unrighteousness, which is what injustice means. you're not walking right. You have something going against you. You're not manifesting life and godliness. So here he's saying if we confess our sins, we ascent. We realize we had a covenant with these sins. He God is faithful. Look at this. Trustworthy and just to forgive us our sins. Look at verse uh Romans 10:9 as I always use this verse. that if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus and shalt believe to have faith in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. There's that safe and delivered. It starts with confession, repentance. So you want to live the life of life and godliness that second Peter is talking about. You want to manifest those great and precious promises from God where you do not trip. You do not air. You do not fall. You walk a life that everyone looks around you and says, "What are you doing? How did you do that?" It starts with confession. And it says you will be safe. Thou shalt be safe. Thou shalt be delivered. All that stuff comes out of you. He lay aside. He forgives you. He lay aides. He is faithful. You can trust him to do this. Do you trust him? How many people think they can lose their salvation? If they think that, they don't trust God. Next is don't do it again. You got to renounce. Look at 2 Corinthians 4:2. But have renounced. You got to disown your sins. Disown them. And I'm not going to do it anymore, Lord. This is what renouncement is all about. You are effectively saying to God's throne room, to every angel and to every demon that is listening, you are telling him, "I'm not doing it anymore." In the name of Jesus, the son of God, when you renounce, you disown that sin. You let it go. That is your action. It is a confession of the mouth. Look what it says here. But have renounced, disowned the hidden things of dishonesty. Dishonesty is a ser God hates lying. So there are levels of lying and he hates them. You have to be very cautious. If you're letting little white lies slip out to make your life easier, I promise you, you start a cycle where your life will not be easy because of the lie that you said. Not walking in craftiness. See, you're disowning this now. But have renounced, disowned the hidden things of dishonesty. not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully. Remember earlier when I said in Hosea, we're talking about being cunning and aware, not walking in craftiness. Have renounced, disowned the hidden things of dishonesty, having renounced, disowned, not walking in craftiness. Meaning, you should be walking in your cunning awareness of the word of God. You should be able to see the enemy and fully disarm him with scripture because the knowledge is one of the blessings, one of the benefits that you get to manifest in godliness. Amen. Handling the word of God deceitfully. That goes to teachers and preachers or those theologians that are writing the original like NIV version. These people, they've got a problem. They handled the word of God deceitfully. But he says when you renounce it, you let it go. You disown it. But by manifestation of the truth, commending ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God. You see, now this is where we do it. We renounce it. We let it go. We don't fail. We don't fall. We don't tr trip. We don't air. But we manifest. What's that word manifest mean? We exhibit. We express of the truth. approving ourselves to every man's conscience or their perception in the sight of God. Meaning, even men will see you holy as in the sight of God and acknowledge you Previous Next Home
