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

THE POWER OF THE TONGUE The objective of this teaching is to help believers recognize and apply the spiritual authority of their words. By aligning their speech with God’s Word, Christians can overcome negative influences such as depression, sickness, and fear, and instead walk in victory, joy, and confidence as more than conquerors through Christ. < Back THE POWER OF THE TONGUE Minister Lisa Kane Objective: The objective of this teaching is to help believers recognize and apply the spiritual authority of their words. By aligning their speech with God’s Word, Christians can overcome negative influences such as depression, sickness, and fear, and instead walk in victory, joy, and confidence as more than conquerors through Christ. Synopsis: The Power of the Tongue by Lisa Kane is a personal testimony and biblical teaching based on Proverbs 18:21: “Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruit.” Drawing from her own battle with depression, Lisa shares how she overcame through prayer and by boldly speaking against the spirit of depression. She recounts how declaring God’s truth aloud—commanding depression to leave and asking God for strength—brought freedom, joy, and lasting change in her life. The message emphasizes the power of words in shaping one’s reality, urging readers to consider what they are telling themselves daily. Negative confessions such as “I’m sick” or “I’m tired” reinforce defeat, while positive declarations rooted in God’s Word cultivate faith, healing, and strength. Lisa encourages believers to boldly use their tongue as a spiritual weapon, reminding them of Romans 8:37—“Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us.” This teaching calls Christians to rise up in faith, reject destructive self-talk, and speak life-giving words that align with God’s promises, knowing that through Christ they are equipped to overcome every challenge. Written teaching: Proverbs 18:21 New King James Version (NKJV) 21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue, And those who love it will eat its fruit. I used to battle depression many years ago, but I overcame it by using the power of the tongue. This is what I did: First, it took me a few weeks to figure out what was wrong with me because I didn’t know. All I knew is that I was mean to everyone around me and I didn’t want to do anything. It was so out of character for me that I began asking God what was wrong with me. Then it hit me. God showed me that I was dealing with a spirit of depression. Once I knew what was wrong, I told my husband I was going to spend time in prayer and went to my bedroom. And this is what I said out loud, “Depression, you’re not welcomed here. Go away and leave me alone.” And then I asked God to forgive me and to help me overcome this spirit. I kept praying and telling depression to get lost for several hours. I eventually went to bed that way. I kept up the words in my mind, but I laid down and finally fell asleep. The next morning, I woke up extremely achy, but I had a smile on my face. I realized that was the best I had felt in a while. Depression was gone and I began walking in joy from that day on. Every once a while depression would try to sneak up on me but guess what, I would remind it that it wasn’t welcomed as part of my life and it would go away. This tactic wasn’t something I read or heard about. It was just something I did as I was praying to God. However, Proverbs 18:21 is so true. The power of the tongue is mighty, and you need to ask yourself, ‘what am I telling myself daily’? Are you telling yourself you’re sick? Are you telling yourself you're tired? Are you telling yourself you’re poor? Are you telling yourself you’re in pain? If I were you, I suggest telling yourself what a great person you are in the Lord and begin acting on it. The sick, tired, poor, and pain will line up according to your words. And if you’re really dealing with some serious spirits, go spend time in God’s presence in your home and tell them to get lost. You have a mighty tongue and are more than a conqueror. Romans 8:37 New King James Version (NKJV) 37 Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. Previous Home Next

GOD IS GOOD To reaffirm the biblical truth that God alone is the source of all goodness, mercy, and forgiveness, while the devil is the source of all evil, deception, and destruction. This teaching seeks to strengthen believers’ discernment so they can distinguish between God’s loving discipline and the enemy’s attacks, stand firm in God’s promises, and respond in faith and trust when trials or end-time events unfold. GOD IS GOOD Pastor Marcos Marrero Objective: To reaffirm the biblical truth that God alone is the source of all goodness, mercy, and forgiveness, while the devil is the source of all evil, deception, and destruction. This teaching seeks to strengthen believers’ discernment so they can distinguish between God’s loving discipline and the enemy’s attacks, stand firm in God’s promises, and respond in faith and trust when trials or end-time events unfold. Synopsis: The lesson emphasizes the foundational truth that God is good and the devil is bad. Using Psalm 86:5 and John 10:10 as central texts, it explains that one of Satan’s greatest deceptions is convincing people to blame God for evil. Jesus clarified that abundant life flows only from God, while destruction originates from the enemy. The teaching highlights that simplicity is key: God, our Father, is the originator of all good, while Satan is the father of lies and evil. By discerning the “resources” from which works originate, believers can distinguish between the fruit of God and the works of the enemy. Trusting God’s goodness is essential, especially as end-time events approach, when fear and chaos will test hearts. Believers are urged to unite their hearts in faith, allowing the Spirit to perfect God’s love in them, which casts out fear. Salvation unites soul and spirit so that even when the soul feels fear, it can rest in the Spirit’s assurance of God’s promises. The teaching underscores that God’s will for His people is peace, hope, and a future, and that He is abundant in mercy toward all who call on Him. Ultimately, the response to God’s return—whether fear or joyful expectation—depends on whether we truly believe in His goodness. The call is to trust Him wholeheartedly, reject the deception of the world’s system, and anchor our lives in the unshakable truth that God is good, all the time. Inspired Teaching: Psalm 86:5 “For You, Lord, are good, and ready to forgive, and abundant in mercy to all those who call upon You.” The greatest accomplishment perpetrated against humanity by the devil, is getting people to blame God for the evil that the devil does. John 10:10 “The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.” Jesus makes it abundantly clear: God is good and the devil is bad. It sounds like a very simple preposition, but there is not a single one of us who have not thought at least once, that God was punishing us when something bad happened to us. We are living in a day when the line between good and evil is so blurry, that we need to return to the basics in order to understand what is going on all around us. Matthew 6:9 “In this manner, therefore, pray: Our Father in heaven…” Simplicity is the key that keeps us from getting confused: I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly. The word father means originator. God is our Father in heaven from whom all good things originate. John 8:44 “You are of your father the devil, and the desires of your father you want to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own resources, for he is a liar and the father of it.” Jesus uses the word resources to identify that which flows out of, and originates from the word father. That is why it's so critical that we understand that only God is good, and that He is the source of all good. And that the devil is the father of all lies, and the source of all evil. Mark 10:18 “So Jesus said to him, ‘Why do you call Me good? No one is good but One, that is God.’” The Jews of Jesus’ day knew the basic principle that only God is good, so when a man came and knelt before Jesus and called Him a good teacher, Jesus responded by saying to him, Are you calling Me God? Of course, the man witnesses the good works that Jesus was doing, so he called Him good. But Jesus wanted to make sure that His disciples understood this principle: that only God is the source of all good. We know that Jesus is the Son of God, so He is good also. It is only when we are able to identify who the sender is from the resources he is bringing, that we will be able to discern the difference between the work of God and the work of the devil. Matthew 7:15-16 “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves. You will know them by their fruits…” So far everything sounds very simple but is critical that we get the basics of this spiritual principal, that is, if we want to be able to discern the truth and keep ourselves from being trapped by the end-time deception that we are warned about—is coming— in the Word of God. Here is what I am talking about! Psalm 86:7 “In the day of my trouble I will call upon You, for You will answer me.” How can we know that God will deliver us when we call on Him, if deep within our heart we blame Him for our troubles? Although there is a personal application here, our focus in this lesson is about the soon return of Jesus to take us home. In our opening text we are told: Abundant in mercy to all those who call upon You. This is a reference to those who will call upon the Lord during the shaking of the heavens and the earth, as our Lord returns. Acts 2:20-21 “The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the coming of the great and awesome day of the Lord. And it shall come to pass that whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.” I often ask this question of my readers, In the midst of the sun turning into darkness and the moon turning red as blood, would you see Jesus coming to save you or to judge you? The answer depends on whether we see God as good and the only good, or whether we have doubts about His love and commitment toward us. In a time of crises our initial response is a reactive one. And it will reflect that which we firmly believe deep within our hearts. Do we run from or towards? If deep within our hearts we believe that Jesus is coming to rescue us, no matter how great the chaos all around us is, the more diligence we will employ in calling to Him, for we know that He is: Abundant in mercy to all those who call upon Him. But if we are not sure, our instincts will betray us, since His love and His goodness has not been perfected in us yet. 1 John 4:18 “There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love.” How do we get to the place where His perfect love casts out all my fears? For You, Lord, are good, and ready to forgive. In order to personally know that God is good, we need to know deep within our hearts that He has completely forgiven us all of our sins. No sin, no judgment, no torment, right? Jesus came to give us life, and abundant life! The devil does not come, except, to steal, to kill, and to destroy. If no evil resource can come from our Father who is in heaven, and if no goodness can come from the father of lies and murder, is there a way to know the difference between when I am being disciplined by God and when I am being attacked by the enemy? Psalm 86:11 “Teach me Your way, O Lord; I will walk in Your truth; unite (singleness of heart) my heart to fear Your name.” Salvation gives us access to our Father in Heaven, who gives us His Holy Spirit, in order for us to learn how to walk in His ways. His ways are simple, God is good and He wants to do good to us. Jeremiah 29:11-12 “For I know the thoughts that I think towards you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope. Then you will call upon Me and go and pray to Me, and I will listen to you.” Calling upon God and knowing that He will hear us, is based on our belief of this fact, that God wants to do us good and not harm. 1 John 5:14 “Now this is the confidence that we have in Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us.” What is His will for us? Thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope. All that is left is for us to unite our hearts to fear His name. How do we do that? We make a conscious choice to receive the things of God’s kingdom, and to reject the things of this world system. 2 Corinthians 4:4 “Whose minds the god of this age has blinded, who do not believe, lest the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine on them.” Since we all got saved out of this world system, we were all once blinded by the god of this age and mired in its corruption. Both our souls and our spirits make up the heart that needs to be united. Our spirit man was reborn the day that we got saved, and bears witness from the Spirit of God, that we have been delivered from fear of the torment of God’s final judgment. Our souls are still in the process of salvation, and will continue on that process until we die or the Lord returns to take us home. 1 Peter 1:9 “Receiving the end (goal) of your faith—the salvation (unification of soul and spirit) of your souls.” The idea is that our souls—which are still connected to our human senses—are so interwoven with our spirit-man, that when it perceives fear from the world around it, instead of fret, they turn to the rest in which our spirit-man resides, which is in the Holy Spirit who continuously reminds it of God’s faithfulness to His promises. Psalm 86:2 “Preserve my life, for I am holy; You are my God; save Your servant who trusts in You!” Notice how the spirit-man intercedes for the soul to which is firmly united: Preserve my life (soul), for I am (the spirit-man is) holy. What is it that connects the two? Save Your servant who trusts in You! Trust in the Word of God, in the goodness of God, and in the good promises of God to us. If the Lord returns this year, and according to Scripture before He appears, the sun will be turned into darkness and the moon into blood, how will you react to the coming cataclysm? How you react will depend on whether you have a united or divided heart when He returns. As long as it is called today, you can still do something about it. I hope this lesson helps you make the right choice. Hebrews 4:7 “Again He designates a certain day, saying in David, ‘Today,’ after such a long time, as it has been said: ‘Today, if you will hear His voice, do not harden your hearts.’” Previous Next Home

PSALM 90 The objective of this lesson is to reveal the hidden prophetic depth within Psalm 90, showing how Moses encoded an overview of human history, time, and eternity. The study emphasizes the brevity of life, the inevitability of trials, and the hope of eternal glory for those who walk in faith. It aims to teach believers how to view time from God’s perspective, to number their days with wisdom, and to live passionately for God while leaving behind a legacy of faith and righteousness. PSALM 90 Pastor Marcos Marrero Objective: The objective of this lesson is to reveal the hidden prophetic depth within Psalm 90, showing how Moses encoded an overview of human history, time, and eternity. The study emphasizes the brevity of life, the inevitability of trials, and the hope of eternal glory for those who walk in faith. It aims to teach believers how to view time from God’s perspective, to number their days with wisdom, and to live passionately for God while leaving behind a legacy of faith and righteousness. Synopsis: In Psalm 90, Moses offers a sweeping vision of God’s eternal nature contrasted with man’s fleeting existence. The psalm begins by affirming the Lord as humanity’s dwelling place throughout all generations, pointing to a timeline of 144 generations culminating in the last days. Moses reveals that life is a cycle of turning and returning, where death precedes new life, and mortality is transformed into immortality through Christ. Verses 2–4 expand on the vastness of God’s eternity—time flowing from “everlasting to everlasting.” Human existence, by contrast, is fragile, like grass that flourishes in the morning but withers by evening. Yet within this frailty lies the promise of transcendence, where trials and afflictions are not meaningless but part of God’s refining work. The psalm underscores life’s brevity—seventy or eighty years—and the reality that without faith, it is filled only with labor and sorrow. But for the believer, life points to a glorious destiny: the rapture, resurrection, and eternal dwelling with Christ. Passion for God, rooted in reverence and dependence on His mercy, becomes the key to wisdom. The prayer of the psalmist becomes ours: to live joyfully under God’s mercy, to endure affliction knowing it brings greater glory, and to pass on faith to the next generation. The psalm closes with a plea for God to establish the work of our hands. True legacy is not found in earthly achievements but in works anchored in God, which He alone sustains into eternity. Thus, Psalm 90 teaches us to measure time not by fleeting days, but by eternal impact, living with heaven as our final home. Inspired Teaching: Psalm 90:1 "Lord, You have been our dwelling place in all generations." Moses wrote twelve psalms, songs that the children of Israel were to memorize and recall, in pretty much the same manner that we remember the lyrics of songs today that we learned in days past. Except that in the songs that Moses wrote he encoded messages that would reveal to those living in the end times the events that would befall them. Psalm 90 to 100 record eleven songs and Deuteronomy chapter thirty two records the other one. This is what Moses said about the songs that he wrote: Deuteronomy 32:46-47 "...Set your hearts on all the words which I testify among you today, which you shall command your children to be careful to observe—all the words of this law. For it is not a futile thing for you, (memorizing the words) because it is (the story of) your life, and by this word you shall prolong your days in the land which you cross over the Jordan to possess." Notice that Psalm 90 begins with the words our dwelling place in all generations, meaning that within this Psalm we should find encoded an abbreviated history of the human race from our first generation to the last one. Generations: A revolution of time, an age. From a root word that means; to gyrate (move in a circle). Strong's # 1755 & 1752 I believe that there are 144 generations from Adam and Eve to the last generation, out of which some will be rapture out of this world before that last generation comes to an end, and the rest, those who are left behind, will go through God's refining fire before their time for entering into God's Day of Rest comes to pass for all those who are qualified to enter it after going through His Day of Wrath. Psalm 90:2 "Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever You had formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, You are God." Everlasting to everlasting speaks of the time that existed before our present time began which I call Infinity Time, which is also the time place that we will be going to after our present time which I call Eternity Time ends. So that our present existence came out from infinity and it will return back to infinity, after the completion of a gyration of time which is measured as 144 generations. Everlasting: Concealed, the vanishing point, time out of mind (past or future). From a root word that means; terminus, (by implication) duration, in the sense of advance or perpetuity. Strong's # 5769 & 5703 So that once our present time and space which I call Eternity Time reaches the vanishing point, all the present creation will be done away with by fervent heat, and a new heaven and a new earth will be created and advanced into Infinity Time for perpetuity, with all those humans who passed the test elevated into a new existence as jewels for the crown of our Lord and Savior Jesus the Christ, the son of man, the firstborn over all creation. Those human jewels being formed out of the trials of faith from of all seven dispensations. Psalm 90:3 "You turn man to destruction, and say, 'Return, O children of men.'" Verse three deals with the process of turning and returning. Before something can be constructed it first has to be destructed. Before man can be clothed in infinity he first has to experience the nakedness of death; one cannot ascend unless one first descends, that's the principle of creation. A seed cannot germinate unless it dies to self first, then and only then it can transcend. That is the duality of all the creation. So that within the first three verses of Psalm 90 we see the hidden mystery of time before and time after, the revolutions of time and the product of time. One hundred and forty four generations in seven dispensations of time turning and returning: 144 + 7 + 2 = 153. John 21:11 "Simon Peter went up and dragged the net to land, full of large fish, one hundred and fifty-three; and although there were so many, the net was not broken." The number one hundred and fifty-three symbolizes the final tally of all the souls that transcend from their mortality into life everlasting: out of every generation and out of every dispensation they were marked for destruction, the destruction of their mortality, into the immortality of their deliverer, the One who conquered death, hell and the grave. The One who has been given a name that is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee will bow and every tongue shall confess that He is Lord to the glory of God our Father. Psalm 90:4 "For a thousand years in Your sight are like yesterday when it is past, and like a watch in the night." In verse four we see the propagation of time from the spiritual vantage point. To us time is set because we are confined to the present, we live from day to day, one day at the time. Not so for the spiritual dwellers, one day for them can mean a thousand years or a fourth of one night. The idea here is for us to keep life within the proper perspective; life is a process of ebb and flow, starting and ending, waxing and waning. We have a tendency to succumb to the finality of things, when in reality nothing is final until we are finally in His glorious presence. For there the pain ends, the suffering is no more, the tears no longer flow, and in the knowledge of Him we transcend time itself. That is the lesson that we can learn from this Psalm, that we can live in His presence right now by faith and make that our final answer. Psalm 90:5-9 "You carry them away like a flood; they are like a sleep. In the morning they are like grass which grows up: In the morning it flourishes and grows up; in the evening it is cut down and withers. For we have been consumed by Your anger, and by Your wrath we are terrified. You have set our iniquities before You, our secret sins in the light of Your countenance. For all our days have passed away in Your wrath; we finish our years like a sigh." Verses five through nine describe the process of our turning and returning. Like a flood and like a dream and like the grass that grows up, here one moment and gone the next. Oh the futility that life is without faith that transcends a life of mortality. Though mortals in the human sense, though bound to the present tense, consumed and terrified as we see our days passing away, still we dare to raise our faith above the mundane. You see, when our spirit dares to believe that there is more to life than what we see with our mortal eyes; when we look at our afflictions through the spiritual perspective of time, infinite time, then life is a joyous journey. For the joy that was set before Him Christ endured the horrors of the cross. If we stay focus on the price we can overcome the pain and make our present life a spiritual Eden. Romans 8:18 "For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us." Don't you wish sometimes, when we find ourselves in the middle of a very difficult and unpleasant situation, that we could just fly away somewhere? There is such a place for the child of faith, a place that can only be reached through the wings of prayer and praise. It is called the place of sweet surrender; it is the place where we lay down our struggles, our fears and doubts, our lack of understanding and all our sorrows. There we just simply resign ourselves to His good and perfect will for us. Psalm 90:10 "The days of our lives are seventy years; and if by reason of strength they are eighty years, yet their boast is only labor and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away." For the joy that is set before us, if we can have but a taste of it, can make us do what no other non human creature could ever achieve: Belief. We could call it faith, or trust , or rapture, or complete abandonment to a cause, but real faith is rooted in the knowledge that we are loved, that we are accepted, that we transcend time and space, that we are very valuable to someone who is very special. Our destiny could never be fulfilled by the things of this world, for we are not made of things that go to waste; we are eternal! Every joint, every marrow, every bone and every sinew, every cell and every atom that our bodies are comprise of will someday be made eternal in the fashion of the resurrected body of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ who flew away, but according to His promises is soon coming back for us. John 14:1-3 "Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me. In My Father’s house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also." So that after the overall journey for all mankind is marked out in verses five through nine, the individual's journey is set as a brief one, marked with labor and sorrow but with the steadfast promise of soon being cut off and then we fly away. Psalm 90:11 "Who knows the power of Your anger? For as the fear of You, so is Your wrath." Here is the essence of the lesson that life teaches us: Passion is the human virtue that must be channeled in the right or godly direction. Our God is a passionate God, our Savior is a passionate Savior, our love and convictions for Him must as well be full of passion. A passion for life is a passion for God. The passionate does not quit just because the going gets a little hard. The fear of the righteous is the thought that they may fail to fulfill God's destiny for their lives. Psalm 90:12 "So teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom." Passion teaches patience, the patient learns the wisdom that says: the attainment of the goal is all that really matters. Is not how we get to heaven that's important, getting there that's the thing! Is not what we take to heaven that matters but who we take to heaven! The desire of the passionate is this: Psalm 90:13 "Return, O Lord! How long? And have compassion on Your servants." The worst thing that a believer could ever do is to fall in love with the world. Earthly desires must never trump our heavenly calling. The best way to stay focus is to be dependent and remain dependent of His Grace and Mercy at all times. Psalm 90:14 "Oh, satisfy us early with Your mercy, that we may rejoice and be glad all our days!" Misguided passion tends to lead us into worthless religion. The sooner we learn that within us nothing good dwells, the better we are. Because true passion will lead us to the cross road of total and complete dependence on Him. True brokenness can make us to be glad all of our days, because in true brokenness there is no fear, because perfect love casts out all fear! Psalm 90:15 "Make us glad according to the days in which You have afflicted us, the years in which we have seen evil." In verse fifteen we see the law of cause and effect at work; this law not only applies to the physical universe, but is one of those laws that transcends and has a spiritual application as well. Is the law of sowing and reaping, and it has to do with the fact that the more affliction a person endures, the greater the rewards. The more that we die (to self) the greater that our life experience will be. In the natural, the greater the pain, the greater the gain. In the spiritual, true life can best be experienced from our death bed. Where the emphasis is not placed in what we have lived, but rather, in what we have failed to live. In the spiritual realm perspective is everything. Psalm 90:16 "Let Your work appear to Your servants, and Your glory to their children." If our lives do not leave a legacy of glory, glory to the One who is faithful and by us being faithful and passing on our faithfulness to our children, then what that means is that we did not fully appreciate the work that was assigned to us in this life, for after all we are but one in one hundred and forty-four generations. Look at nature itself and it will tell you that existence without propagation is extinction of the species. Psalm 90:17 "And let the beauty of the Lord our God be upon us, and establish the work of our hands for us; Yes, establish the work of our hands." Only God can sustain and maintain the work of a person after they fly away, and it is only when we labor in His work that our labor will never be in vain! As it is written: Isaiah 61:3 "...To give them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they may be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, that He may be glorified."

PRAYING THROUGH OBEDIENCE The objective of this message is to teach believers how to deepen their prayer life through obedience to God’s commandment of love, forgiveness, and humility. By understanding prayer as an act of obedience, rooted in the Word of God, Christians are equipped to intercede effectively for themselves, others, and even nations—breaking curses, binding evil, and releasing blessings under the authority of Jesus Christ. < Back PRAYING THROUGH OBEDIENCE Minister Lisa Kane October 28, 2025 Objective: The objective of this message is to teach believers how to deepen their prayer life through obedience to God’s commandment of love, forgiveness, and humility. By understanding prayer as an act of obedience, rooted in the Word of God, Christians are equipped to intercede effectively for themselves, others, and even nations—breaking curses, binding evil, and releasing blessings under the authority of Jesus Christ. Synopsis: In this message, Minister Lisa Kane explores the powerful connection between obedience and prayer, beginning with Christ’s commandment in John 13:34 to love one another in a moral and social sense—our duty and obligation as followers of Christ. Prayer through obedience requires believers to forgive others (Matthew 6:14–15), releasing bitterness, hurt, and unforgiveness that often manifest as spiritual and physical bondage. Minister Lisa emphasizes the importance of entering the secret place with God, where transformation occurs. From this place, believers are set apart, their desires change, and they are empowered to pray with authority. Spiritual warfare, she explains, always begins with praise and worship, which ushers in God’s presence and aligns the heart with His will. The teaching highlights the authority given to believers (Psalm 149), showing how to bind kings, governments, and demonic influences through prayer, while also interceding for repentance and transformation rather than destruction. Using Scripture as a two-edged sword (Hebrews 4:12), believers are instructed to pray strategically—beginning with forgiveness, casting out demonic influences, then replacing curses with biblical blessings and life-giving promises (Psalm 133:3; Psalm 5:12). The message provides a practical prayer model, applying these principles to personal struggles, families, governments, industries, and nations. Minister Lisa stresses the need for humility, self-control, and faithfulness when using the authority of Christ’s name. By praying in obedience, believers become effective spiritual warriors who can shift atmospheres, weaken the hold of evil, and prepare hearts for revival. Ultimately, “Praying Through Obedience” calls Christians to submit fully to God’s will, intercede in love, and walk in the authority and responsibility given by Jesus to bring transformation to individuals, communities, and the world. Inspired Teaching: Hello and welcome to the House of Faith Ministries. I'm Lisa Kane. I'm recording this on Saturday, October 28th, 2023. Welcome. This message is called Praying Through Obedience. This is a good message. You're going to be blessed by this one. Let's open up in a word of prayer. Father God, we thank you for your word. We thank you for teaching us how to pray. We thank you for teaching us how to be obedient to our calling to love one another with obedience and moral sense. Thank you, Father God, for your living word of God. And let your scriptures implant in our minds and our hearts that we know them and that we can just share them at the moment that we need to under the influence of the Holy Spirit. Thank you, heavenly father. In the glorious name of Jesus, we pray. Amen. Amen. Amen. Let's go to our opening scriptures here where this is called praying through obedience. We're going to start here in John 13:34. A new commandment I give unto you that ye love. That word love there means in a social moral sense, duty, obligation. This is G35 Strong's Hebrew Greek dictionary. So, let's read that again. A new commandment I give unto you, that ye love one another as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. All three loves in that scripture is the same love. So Jesus is saying, you know, you got to love me with a moral sense and an obligation duty. So before we dive into this beautiful message, this is an awesome message. I'm I'm going to teach you how to pray this, how to apply it to your life and all those around you, to America, to the world. Uh this is going to be amazing and I hope that you're blessed by it and truly truly blessed. But as you see, we're to love one another, which means we need to love our country. We need to love our governments. We need to love our neighbors, ourselves. But notice that word love. What is that word love? It is a moral sense. social moral sense. It is our duty, our obligation to do that. So, how do you love one another? Because this is where things get interesting now because you want to look at this and see, should I be praying for them? And that's the key right here because when you're praying for them in the spirit, things change. So this is where you're called to fulfill your commandment is here in the secret place praying. Boy, have I been talking about that secret place for a few years now. And I've been talking about this love now for the last few messages. So we're just now going to bring this to the act of obedience. And I'm going to show you who to pray for and what to pray. And I'm going to show you how to pray. So bear with me as we get to every scripture here. And it starts with the spirit of forgiveness. So, we're going to start here in Matthew 6:14 and 15. For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly father will also forgive you. But if you forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your father forgive your trespasses. Before I dive into that scripture, this is not about your salvation. Anyone who calls upon the upon the Lord shall be saved. Romans 10:13, Joel 2:32, and I believe it's Acts 2:21. Anyone who calls upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. This is different. Look at what this says. It says, "For if you forgive." You see, when you call upon the Lord, you're saved. Now, he's saying, "I want you to forgive." Look at this. What's the word forgive? You need to put away, send forth people, men, women, children, whatever. That trespass. Look at this. It's a sides slip, an offense, an unintentional error and or a willful sin. So he's telling you put it away. You need to forgive and let it go. And he's saying if you do that, your father will also forgive you. If you don't do that, your father won't forgive you. What happens is let's say you're harboring sickness, cancer, disease, whatever. likely it is from holding on to unforgiveness, hatred, bitterness, anger, hurt, suffering. Well, you need to let that go. To let that go, you've got to go to the root of why you have that and you're holding on to it. So, if you're upset with somebody, you've been holding on to it and you're like this, you're just really, really tight. What happens is your body never relaxes. Those cells never relax and they harden. They're so stressed. They're so tight. They never they don't hard or they don't soften. So they harden and when a hardened cell what it does it turns into cancer. It turns into some form of sickness or disease. So nine out of 10en times when you hear somebody who has uh was diagnosed with cancer, this prayer is going to help with that because it starts with the spirit of forgiveness. Why? Because the power and the authority you're about to find out in this message is so amazing that the Lord has to know that you are humble and you will be under humility as you pray this prayer because we got to realize what Moses did when he talked to the Lord about the nation of Israel like stop don't punish them hold on we got to have that heart for the beloved of the people that God loves just as much as he loves me he you know what I'm going to share bitter In reality, he loves Hitler just as much as he loves me. Got to get that concept in your mind. He loves the terrorists as much as he loves me. So, the act of forgiveness is that moment of humility that you have within you. And that's what the Lord is showing us with the concept of the scripture. Amen. John 3:34, for he whom God hath sent set apart, speaketh the words of God. For God giveth not the spare by measure unto him. Okay. So, we're going to be talking about being set apart for this. So, for the most part, anyone who's been following any of my teachings for several months now know that I've been talking about the secret place of the Lord. As you get into that secret place, your life transforms and it changes. Your prayer life changes. That's what's so amazing about this. That's what I love about this. God changes you. He transforms you. So he's going to take you now to that next level where he's going to teach you how to pray. Now what does he have to do first? He sets you apart because you purposed in your heart to put him first in your life. You said, "I'm going to go to the secret place and I'm going to give it to the Lord." Once you do that, guess what happens? He enters into your life. He changes you, but he sets you apart. It's like the desires of your heart changes. And let's say you're someone who used to like to watch horror films. Found out my sister-in-law like that up until this month. We're interceding and we're getting closer to the Lord. She's realizing I don't want to even do that. That's a testimony. Amen. So set apart. Look at and you're going to speak. So we have to know what words to speak. We have to know the word of God. This message is targeted to the people who spend time with the Lord in the secret place that is studying the word of God and getting to know the word of God. So this is going to be powerful going to teach you some good stuff and you're going to be blessed by this. I promise you that. So let's go to the authority we have. We're going to look at Psalm 149. Let's start with verse 1 through3. Praise ye the Lord. Sing unto the Lord a new song and his praise in the congregation of saints. Let Israel rejoice in him that made him. Let the children of Zion be joyful in their king. Let them praise his name in the dance. Let them sing praises unto him with the temporal and harp. Spiritual warfare always begins with praise and worship. And most of the time a lot of people tend to do praise and worship in the church or in the sanctuary. But YouTube has got a lot of praise and worship songs now. You can actually put it on in the background or even put it in on in your secret place while you're praising and praying to the Lord. You could be praising and worshiping him at the same time. Praise and worship is key. Find scriptures that praise the Lord. The mountains rejoice you Lord or or praise you, lift you up. There are many scriptures that praise the heavenly father. Praise him yourself. find something, you know. Um, wow, Lord, today's got a beautiful blue sky. Doesn't hear, but he you just say, "Man, Lord, you really know how to make the color blue. You know how to make the sky look great. You're praising him for what he accomplished in creation." This is key. You got to praise and you got to worship him. Worship is adoration, putting him first. When you go into the secret place and you open up the Bible and you say, "Okay, Lord, let's you and I talk." That's worship because you prioritized him and put him first. Now, I want you to see something here. He says, "Let Israel rejoice in him that made him. Let the children of Zion be joyful in their king. We're adopted into the nation of Israel. We are part of Jesus." When you accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior, he is Jewish. So, you are actually now part of the nation of Israel. So understand that they've got to rejoice in their king. You're rejoicing in King Jesus. Jesus hasn't come back as king yet, but he will. So get ready. And that's something also to acknowledge that he's your king. This is and all you're what you're doing here is is obedient. Because when you do these things and you're being obedient to it, you're saying to the king, I'm going to do what you commanded me to, which is to love one another. And how do you love in that social moral sense? with your duty and obligation. Amen. All right. Now, verses four and five. For the Lord taketh pleasure in his people. He will beautify the meek with salvation. So, see, this is why we start with spirit of forgiveness. We've got to get humbled before the Lord because of the power and the authority that he's giving us can do some serious damage. And so, we have to have the self-control of the Holy Spirit with the with our tongue. We've got to be able to speak appropriately with the Holy Spirit covering and guiding us and telling us what to pray for. I'm gonna show you how all that works here in just a moment. When you do that, you are obeying him because there's going to be times you don't want to pay pray for a person. I didn't want to pray for a terrorist. And then I went ahead and I did it anyways because the Lord told me to love one another. That's his commandment. I got to obey the commandment. I'm like, "All right, Lord. I'm going to go ahead and pray for him. I'm going to tell you right up front, I don't want to do it, but I'm going to do it anyways because you asked me to. And then what happens is he just he transforms you. Now I want to pray for them because I don't want them to go to hell. I don't want anyone to go to hell, you know. And let that sit in your mind, in your heart. Everybody has a choice out here. Yes. But imagine if we're praying for them. We can save them. We can save them. Oh, you got to get this message. It's awesome. Verse five, let the saints be joyful in glory. Let them sing aloud upon their beds. And I I'm going to tell you how this that scripture means to me personally. Uh I remember years ago we I had a long drive to and from work and I would take my daughter to school. It was about a two-hour drive one way and I turned off music. She was sleeping anyways. and I would put on preachers and I would listen to the word of God. And I did this for like three years. It was a good amount of time that I did this. So I had no music in my my spirit, my soul during that entire time. Well, now you know, I listen to music. I I love putting my headphones on and relaxing to some good Christian music that touches me on the inside. So, what I do now is I'll play this music and I don't do it every day. It's probably once a week or something like that, but I I have, you know, 10, 12, sometime maybe about 20 songs. But I rotate them out with newer things and stuff like that. But I will wake up in the morning now and my spirit is singing that song as I wake up in the morning in my bed. And that is because as I'm waking up, I'm I'm my spirit is still praising the Lord because I'm walking in godliness and righteousness. And I hope this is a testimony to you that I hope it changes you because you can be transformed. And if God can change me, he can change you. I promise you this. And that's what the scripture is saying. So he's identifying this group of people to do this kind of prayer. And I already fit the category and I started doing this. So as he's teaching me, I want to teach you. And that's why I'm doing this message today for this verse six. Let the high praises of God be in their mouth and a twoedges sword. And that is the word of God according to Hebrews 4:12 in their hand. So when we start to pray, we want to pray with scripture. And you are going to realize how much authority you have when you start applying scripture to your prayers. And it changes everything. So he's saying right here, let the high praises be of God be in their mouth. And and notice he said the mouth. And remember what Romans 10:9 says that if you confess with your mouth, your mouth is your key power, total authority here. It's what you say. So all of us who are in this place where the Lord has transformed us, this is what he's saying. Let the high praises of God be in your mouth as you're praising him because you're putting him first. The in the it goes in front of the battle when um you go look at Jericho and the way that the army was set up. The praisers were in front. They're the ones that go out to do the front battle lines because they're praising God, giving him the glory. Because when you put first God in your life when seek first the kingdom of God and then all these things will be added unto you. Catch that. Catch that. So he says, "Let the high praises of God be in their mouth and a two-edged sword in their hand." And that see the the word of God is sharper than any two-edged sword. So he's saying, "Put this word in your hand. You're going to be speaking it and you're going to be speaking it in authority." This is how this works because it works with the mouth. This is why we speak to the mouth. We have a cloud of witnesses around us. God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Spirit. You've got the angels and the demons, and they're all listening to you. And you've got to determine what you're telling them. Because every time you go into prayer and you go in to do that battle, you start with your praise. But as you enter into the throne room, because you march in, you're marching in. You enter into the throne room. The first thing you're doing is you're addressing the heavenly God and Jesus, your savior. But there's a whole throne room there. And they're listening to your petition. And Jesus will go to God and interrogate him as to where's this going to go if we allow it to happen. You can get that from the last message or the one before it I taught. Either way, it's there. Okay, look at verse seven now here. Okay, you know what I really want to do? Hold on a moment. I want to go one more slide. I want to show you the authority you have. So, we're going to go to verse 9 first. To execute upon them the judgment, this honor have all his saints. Praise ye the Lord. So, you end with praise. So, he's saying what you're about to read because I I put I went to verse nine. What you're about to read in verse seven and 8 is the authority that you have all all well let's read again have all his saints this honor have all saints honor there means magnificent this is incredible this is what we get to do we get to do this we have the power and the authority to do this let this sink into your mind here you know uh what's that Spider-Man with great power comes great responsibility Well, this is what you're seeing it in action here in the scripture with you and me. I don't have to be a superhero, but I got the words to say of God that will penetrate and will release people from demons and will set them free, heal them, and deliver them. We have this power and the authorities. So, let I'm jumping in. Let's get into it. Verse seven, to execute. That word execute there means to do, to make, or accomplish. Vengeance. Wait a minute. We get to execute vengeance. That word vengeance. Revenge. Wait, wait a minute. I get to accomplish revenge. Get this. I know. Revenge from the Lord. Watch. Must show you how this works because this is very powerful. Upon the heathen. And by the way, heathen here, it's translated as foreign nation, gentile, unbeliever. You can add that in. I I should have typed it in there. Unbeliever. Any heathen, somebody who is under the influence of evil, and by the way, could be a believer in Christ, too, that is under the influence of the devil. Keep that in mind because there are people who claim to be Christian and they're claiming it and they might have said it salvation and repented unto the Lord, but they're not living. You see, you have a choice to live for Christ or not to live for Christ. You see, anyone who calls upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. That doesn't mean that you live for Christ. It simply means you're saved. You're saved. You go to heaven. Hallelujah. That's better than hell. Okay? And I rather you get there even if you choose not to live for Christ. The problem is is when you do not live for Christ, you are vulnerable to the spiritual influences around the demonic activity and things that way. This is why people get um confused about all this. We got to be very very careful. Okay. So let's get back to this. So to execute vengeance upon the heathen or unbelievers and punishments upon the people or chastisements or corrections. So hold on a minute. We can execute, we can accomplish revenge on the unbelievers, the heathen, the Gentiles, and that's a key word there and the chastisements correction upon the people. I I love watching Jonathan Khan teach. Rabbi Jonathan Khan, if you haven't um met his ministry or got aware of his ministry, he's very powerful teacher. He has gone boldly to send messages to Biden and to the government to let him know what you're doing and and what you need to stop doing. It's time to repent. So, he's he's been sending out the chastisement. Okay. So what we're going to do here is we're going to do it behind the scenes in the spirit. So look at verse eight and it says to bind, which means to yoke or hitch their kings with chains and their nobles with feathers of iron. Okay? Want you to pay attention to this scripture right here. You get to yoke the the king. If Biden's doing something evil, we have the right to yoke him. He's the king of America. Okay? He fulfills that role. The title is president. It means the same thing. You go a little further. You get to bind him with chains. Now, the word chains there is a leap forth word or a spark because it's really focused on fire. But when I see leaps forth, I see it grabbing him. See, you're now speaking action word into the spiritual realm. Remember, we can bind what we bind on earth is bound in heaven. What we loose on earth is loose in heaven. We get to bind the king. It grabs him. It it it sparks him and it it braids him. That word fetter there is braided twine. Um, in this case it's with twine or chains of iron, feathers of iron. And look at this. And then it says, "And their nobles," which means the word to be heavy. But because it's associated with the king, I'm adding the word government in here. Yes, I added this in. It was not in the Strong's dictionary, but it's very applicable. And I want you to see why. Oh, in fact, why is because when you are required to pay your taxes and it gets burdensome, it's hard because that's a thing on you that you're like, I don't want to pay those taxes. I know where they're going. They're going for evil or they're too much. Well, it's heavy. It burdens you. That is our government. So, that's why I'm applying this word here. So, look at this. So, you get to bind the king. You can yoke him, hitch him with a a chain that just leaps forth and grabs a hold of him. And the government with feathers of iron, you get to do that to execute upon them the judgment written. Now, what is the judgment written? Now, the word judgment there means verdict. The verdict written. Okay? The Bible is full of prophecy. I think you see where I'm going with this. Now, the word of God, you know, if you go read Jeremiah, Isaiah, and any of these prophets, and they come against certain kingdoms and nations, they are executing verdict, written judgment against them. When the Lord says this I have against you, remember Jesus did it to us. By the way, we are going to be doing Christlike things. So, we have to be like Christ. He did it when he wrote seven letters to the churches. But this I still have against you as you read through that. Oh, if you haven't read that, you haven't read any of this, you got to go in and read it. See how the written word judges. It's a verdict. Well, we get to make accomplish that written verdict on. Now, look at this. To execute, to do, make accomplish upon them the judgment written. This honor have all his saints. Praise ye the Lord. So, we get to do this to our kings, to our governments, and to ourselves, to those around us. And we get to speak these words of power and authority in the name of Jesus. Let's remember what Jesus said because it starts with spirit of forgiveness. Matthew 6:14 reiterating it here. For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly father will also forgive you. Okay. So starts with forgiveness. Now let's start with an example prayer here. So, we're going to start this for me. Okay? So, put yourself in my shoes right now and be me or you be yourself. This is you individual. You're praying for yourself. Okay? That's what this is about. Dear heavenly father, I ask you to forgive me. Now, look at what I put in parenthesis here. I'm going to give you a list of things you can pray for. But you can pray for governments, kingdoms, world industries, family members, any special request request, you put that here, right here in this spot. So you acknowledge, you're telling the demons, you're telling the angels, you're telling the heavenly father, you're telling Jesus in the courtroom, I'm praying for and then you tell them. In this case, for this example, we're going to do me. So I ask you to forgive me of my sins. Forgive the sins of the land I walk on. forgive the curses spoken against me and the curses I've spoken. I also ask you to forgive the iniquity found within me in the name of Jesus. And I forgive myself of these things too. So you start with yourself. Why do you do this here? Because you're the one who's going to be praying. So you need to be in godly righteousness because when you speak the words of authority and you are actually atoning and you're going to stand in. You have to make certain that the devil has nothing against you. And it starts here. So you start asking for forgiveness. And when you do that, this is where now because when you speak words, the devil has nothing against you to stop you and what your words say. Oh, you better grab a hold of that one. Oh. Oh, this is awesome. This is awesome. Let's continue on. So, now that everything is forgiven, what you do now is you go after the demonic activity because they think they still have authority because they have a contract. You see, what happens is us, me, or the government or whomever you're praying for goes into a binding contract with the devil and allow the devil to do what he's doing to us. It's a contract and he's legally right to be there because of something we said, something we did, we sinned, whatever it is, he has the right to be there. So now that we forgave it though, we nullify that contract. And guess what happens? He no longer has a right. Because see, when you're standing before the throne room and and you say, "Forgive me of my sins." Jesus says, "Well, I forgive her." And then he goes to God um and heavenly father says I forgive her too. Okay. And he clears off all the contracts. You're clear. You're clean. You are righteous. That is how then I say okay Lord. And watch what you do next. Demonic activity loose me now in the name of Jesus. I bind you with chains of iron preventing you from interfering in my physical and spiritual life again. Ever again. get below my feet where you belong in the name of Jesus. He has to let you go. So, let's say you have a loved one who's dealing with alcoholism or drugs um or is in jail for whatever reason or whatever. This is where you start. Forgive the curses against them. And notice I added the curses on the land because we're walking on the land. The land has been cursed. witchcraft, warlocks, and whatever they that's the they do everything they can to interrupt the land below your feet. So, you have to remove that curse. So, what I do, let's say I'm praying for a family member. Let's say it's my parents. I not only so when I put me in the spot of prayer, I'll put my parents there and I will say, "Okay, and any of their associates or family members with them because every one of us who associate with one another, we're cursing each other like it's no big deal because our language has gone that way. Oh, that food was too hot that they served or it was too cold. Why can't they serve hot food? Uh, this service here is lousy." These are curses that you're placing on whatever establishment you're speaking on. And the devil knows it and he's like, "Yep, that's what I'm doing. Anything to make your life miserable, that's a curse." This is why we have to forgive them. Because the moment you forgive them, wait a minute, God, how could you clear that? They did that. And he said, "Nope. Nope. They're forgiven. I don't see it." That is how God works. So let's let's continue on here. So you're going to now you're going to tell it demonic activity to loose you. And then look at this. Remember I told you you're going to apply scripture. Say I'm allowed to do this per Matthew 18:18. Verily I say unto you, whatsoever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven. And whatsoever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. I know the devil knows the scriptures, but it is our duty to say them when we're praying in the name of Jesus. Oh, hallelujah. So, now let's continue on because we cast out the demons, everything's forgiven. Here is Psalm 133:3. As the do of Hermon and as the do that descended upon the mountains of Zion, for there the Lord commanded the blessing, even life forever more. This is where you say, I bless my life as you have, heavenly father, life forever more. Oh, this is the part where you add whatever blessings that are in the Bible. I'm blessed to live a long life forever more. I have that right. When you bless your life with this, because remember the curses have been active in your life. You've just broken the curses. You got to replace the curses with something. You're bless you're replacing them with blessings. When you bless all the demonic activity going on around you where you might be in a place where it splatters on you, you're not involved with it, but it it's there. It could affect you where it kills you accidentally or something like this. But by you blessing your life or whomever you're praying, you're blessing them for that long life, which we're entitled. We're entitled to have that as you saw in that scripture. You can find other scriptures and put them in here. We're blessed with life as seek first the kingdom of God. All these things. Psalm 91. Find the scriptures. Put them in there. Speak them as you bless your life. Let's continue on. You know, and yeah. So, now that everything is forgiven, the demons are bound and whatever you're praying for. Now, here's Psalm 5:12. For thou, Lord, will bless the righteous with favor. Wil thou com compass him as with the shield? Here's another blessing. I bless my life with your righteousness and reaffirm your shield round about me. Look at what else you can add here. The fruit of the spirit, the gift of the spirit. Because if you're praying for somebody who's a non-believer, here's where things get very interesting. The gifts of the Holy Spirit works in a very interesting way. When you ask for the fruit of the spirit, you're asking for love, joy, peace, gentleness, kindness, goodness, meekness, faithfulness, and self-control. You're asking for those seeds to be planted in their lives. And what happens is you are asking them to be watered so that they grow and manifest in that individual to become a believer. Or let's say they are part-time church tenders go during Christmas or whatever. Now you can ask for the gifts of the Holy Spirit to start talking in their minds. Give them the gift of discernment, the gift of wisdom, knowledge, gift of speaking in tongues, the gift of interpreting tongues, what and you and you know what? Because the Holy Spirit is not limited to all these gifts that Paul wrote because there's more. Ask the Holy Spirit to give them the gift that is appropriate for them at their time in their life. Sometimes you just got to go walking around smiling at people and that makes a change in their lives. Amen. Now, same principle when you're praying for governments and kingdoms. When you add the your your United States of America or any nation, here is where you can say Psalm 149:7 to execute vengeance upon the heathen, which is what we're studying here, and punishments upon the people. Every per, this is what you pray. Every person in leadership out there in the world, if they choose evil versus good, bind them tight so they can't breathe. Heavenly Father, place them in their sick beds until they repent, they will not be fruitful with evil in the name of Jesus. You have the right and authority to judge them and put you see the Bible tells you that when you are living in curses and you're rejecting God, you get sick and you die early. You can't breathe. You can't breathe spiritually. Well, you have the right and the authority to do that here. Um, same thing with verses 8 and n. every king or person in charge of anything that affects the people of the world. If you do not choose good for the people, but choose to do evil, I bind you tight in the name of Jesus. Heavenly Father, bind them so hard that they can't breathe. Place them in their sick bed so they cannot move forward with evil until they repent. I'm not asking them to be dead. Now, they may die because they ch they don't choose repentance, but the Holy Spirit is working in them. But because you make them so tight with sickness, they cannot move forward in evil. And I can tell you right now, nobody's been praying this because evil is running rampid in our country. Look what else you get to do. I get to stand in their shoes. I can stand in Biden's shoes. I can stand in my loved ones shoes who don't believe. I put myself in their place. Look at how this works. And atone for them, heavenly father. I speak on their behalf. It's like this. Lord, I say I'm stand in in so and so's shoes and I say, "Jesus, save me on his behalf. Jesus, heal me on his behalf." You see, this is how you do that. You're now interceding, atoning for them. Jesus, deliver me. Jesus, help me. Thank you, heavenly father, for your grace, mercy, and salvation, and allowing your saint saints to walk in authority with your name in the Jesus name. Amen. This is now you interceding and atoning for those around you. And I would make sure not just to target the one person you're wanting to see change in, but get everybody around them. If it's one cousin, get their spouse, get their children, get their parents. You want to cover all of them and include them all in that group prayer. That way you are ministering to them. Look at what you get to pray for. You start with me and you can do the nations and their governments and look at the people within those nations and their enemies. When Hamas attacked Israel, I was all upset, man. Al and the Lord reminded me, this is why he's showing me this. And he says, "I want you to pray for them." And I was like, "Okay, I'm gonna do it, but I don't want to." But I did it because it's obedience. Notice the title of this message. Praying through obedience. We've got to be able to be obedient. Control our mouths or tongues. Self-control. I'm not going to curse those that are supporting terrorism. I'm not going to curse them. I choose not to. I'm going to bless them and I'm going to ask the Lord to forgive them. But I'm also going to bind them if they choose evil over good. And I'm going to bind them so hard that they can't breathe. and they're in their sick beds and can't do anything until they repent. Oh, I hope you're grabbing this. I hope you are. Look, you can pray for our Previous Next Home

WHEN HEZEKIAH TURNED HIS FACE TO THE WALL To illustrate how King Hezekiah’s prayerful response in a moment of crisis demonstrates the power of faith, humility, and personal relationship with God, showing believers today that sincere, heartfelt prayer can change outcomes and align us with God’s mercy and intervention. WHEN HEZEKIAH TURNED HIS FACE TO THE WALL Minister Lisa Kane March 22, 2025 Objective: To illustrate how King Hezekiah’s prayerful response in a moment of crisis demonstrates the power of faith, humility, and personal relationship with God, showing believers today that sincere, heartfelt prayer can change outcomes and align us with God’s mercy and intervention. Synopsis: In this teaching, “When Hezekiah Turned His Face to the Wall,” Lisa Kane explores the powerful account of King Hezekiah in Isaiah 38, 2 Kings 20, and 2 Chronicles 32. Hezekiah, a righteous king who restored the temple and led Judah back to honoring God, faced a prophetic word of death from Isaiah. Instead of accepting his fate, Hezekiah turned his face to the wall, prayed with sincerity, reminded God of his faithful walk, and wept bitterly. This heartfelt plea moved God to extend his life by fifteen years and grant deliverance from Assyria. The message emphasizes the importance of an intimate relationship with God, where prayer is not ritualistic but a genuine conversation that moves His heart. Lisa highlights that when we walk uprightly before the Lord and face adversity, we too can boldly approach Him, pour out our hearts, and expect His intervention. Yet, the story also serves as a reminder that pride can hinder gratitude and blessings, and that humility keeps us aligned with God’s will. Ultimately, this lesson encourages believers to reflect on their own walk with God—asking whether they are living faithfully, seeking His kingdom first, and ready to turn their face to the wall in prayer, trusting Him to move for His glory and for their good. Inspired Teaching - Written and/or Transcribed from Video Above: Hello and welcome to the House of Faith Ministries. I'm Lisa Kanan recording this teaching on Saturday, March 22nd, 2025. Welcome. Let's open up in a word of prayer. Father God, we thank you for your word. We pray that your word does not return void. We pray that your word penetrates our hearts and that we can walk in this belief knowing that you are there. We can have a relationship with you and that when we cry unto you, you hear us. and you intervene. Thank you, Lord. In the name of Jesus, we pray. Amen. Amen. Amen. Thank you for joining me today. I'm calling today's message when Hezekiah turned his face to the wall. Let's look at our opening scripture here in Isaiah 38:2 that Hezekiah turned his face toward the wall and prayed unto the Lord. Now when you look at the scripture on the screen here, I just want to explain how I teach. When the word is bolded, like the word turned is here, that's the original word in the translation from King James version. The words in parenthesis are other words that could have the the translators could have used to translate the word. So in this case to revolve, surround or border. So uh basically Hezekiah buried his face in the wall is what he did here. So why am I teaching especially on a very specific moment and I've been trying to teach in 30 minute increments. So we're going to try to keep this in 30 minutes but I want to focus on that moment because that moment had things that led up to it and things that came after it. And that moment was a very, it was such a huge change for Hezekiah. So, let's delve into the scripture. We're going to be across Isaiah, 2 Chronicles, and 2 Kings, and it's talking about the same event. And I'm going to show you each part so that you get a full complete clear picture. Let's talk about who Hezekiah is first. Let's start there. 2 Chronicles 29:es 1-5. Hezekiah began to reign when he was 5 and 20 years old. And he reigned 9 and 20 years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Abjah, the daughter of Zachchariah. And he did that which was right in the sight of the Lord according to all that David his father had done. He in the first year of his reign, in the first month, opened the doors of the house of the Lord and repaired them. And he brought in the priests and the Levites, and gathered them together into the east street, and said unto them, "Hear me, ye Levites. Sanctify yourself clean now yourselves, and sanctify to be clean. Clean the house of the Lord God of your fathers, and carry forth the filthiness out of the holy place." So Hezekiah is a king that did good in the sight of the Lord. He took some projects on where he brought the temple back into service for the Lord, back to uh practicing um killing uh the doing the sacrifices, the daily sacrifices. He brought all of that back into the house. He brought the the temple back into order. He repaired what needed to be repaired. He did what was good in his sight. You can continue to read that and find out what else he did. I just wanted to show you that he did something right in the presence of the Lord. He was a righteous man. So, my goal with this teaching is to show you what happens to a righteous person who ends up in a situation that happened and how you can change the course of it. I've taught a lot of this and I've showed you scripture throughout uh the New Testament and how, you know, Paul talks about uh we can change our hearts, change our lives, have faith. Jesus showed us that we can be healed by our faith. I want to show you an Old Testament way of how Hezekiah came to be with the Lord. And this had to do with he was right. He did right in the sight of the Lord. So now let's look at the situation of what happened because this is going to this is going to be the crux of the whole teaching. I want you to get this. So we're going to go to Isaiah 38 1 and 2. In those days was Hezekiah sick. That word sick there means to be rubbed, worn, weak, afflicted to grief. It doesn't say how he got sick. It just says that he was sick. Now, we'll see later that it was figs, a pus of figs that was placed on the boil. He had a a physical ailment, a boil on his body, and that pus went on there and he was healed uh through the figs. So, don't know what the sickness was, but he was sick unto death. Um and this word sick simply means it's to be worn out w weak afflicted grief. So he had to have been under a lot of stress. And if you look at our history, kings that are under a lot of stress don't live very long. Uh we see that in the UK with Queen Elizabeth's um uncle he and father who didn't live very long. So, and part of it was the stress of being a king. Okay, they, you know, they they this happened. So, he's sick and it's unto death. So, he's going to die. And Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amos, came unto him and said unto him, "Thus sayith the Lord, set thine house in order, for thou shalt die and not live." So, you just heard a word from the Lord. Hezekiah just heard a word from the Lord. And usually you hear the word from the Lord, anything that is founded in scripture, you hear a word from the Lord, you take it as, okay, this is what's going to happen. But something Hezekiah did here that I want to focus on which changes the whole outcome of everything. And this is what's so exciting about this. Thus Hezekiah turned his face toward the wall and prayed unto the Lord. He said, "Okay." And he's going to talk to the Lord and he's going to let's let's read what he says to the Lord because this is critical here. He says and said, this is Hezekiah talking to the Lord. Remember now, oh Lord, I beseech you. That that word beseech means oh now, oh Lord, I need you now. I beseech you now. And then he goes on to say, how have I how I have walked before thee in truth. That word truth there is stability, certainty, trustworthiness, and with a perfect or complete heart of feelings, the will, and have done that which is good in thy sight. He's telling God to remember these things. And then he says, and Hezekiah wept. That word wept there means to bewail, complain, make lamentations, mourn, and then soar. He did it greatly. He did it out loud. He did it overflowingly. He turned his face to the wall and he says to God, now you know God is our creator. He is our everything. And so if he says something, we're going to believe it. Hezekiah did something a little bit different. He went to the Lord directly. By the way, he didn't go through a prophet. He didn't go to the temple or an altar. He went well and he couldn't. So, he did what he could do best. He burrowed his face into the wall and says to the Lord and very bold, very confidently he says remember what I have done for you and I did it with the hearts and the thought through the heart of the thoughts and the feelings that are appropriate. Remember that. And then he he cries. So this is what I want to focus on in this moment. You see, we take the word of God literally. I believe it literally. There are probably some things in there that are written uh um in that language of metaphors and what have you. But I do take the word of God and everything it prophesies and everything it's talking about. I take it very serious and I take it very literally. And I go to the Lord and I try to understand the scriptures because I try to be a teacher of the word of God. You know, I'm not trying to justify anything because all of us have fallen short of the glory of God. Me included. So, there's things I don't know. But I love it when the Lord gives me a revelation about something. And there's a revelation here about what Hezekiah did that you and I can do as believers in Christ. Hezekiah said, "I want you to remember everything I did, and I did it with a complete heart. My thoughts and feelings, that's what the heart is. We're done with the purpose of I want to do this for you. I am going to do this for you." You see, there's something about the scriptures that tells us that when we're faced with adversity, affliction, sickness, when we face that, we do not have to accept death as a result of it. You know, we're all eventually going to die. Whether it's through the rapture or whether we just live out old age and natural causes, eventually we're all going to end up on the other side. Whether that's heaven the other side or hell the other side, that's between you and God. But as we walk with God and anyone who decides to choose Jesus as the son of God, as our Lord and Savior, the moment we accept that, take that, we have this right to live justifiably correct. We can live doing things we think is right in our minds. Whether it actually is or not is a whole different story. Keep this in mind. If you're going before the Lord, you've been and you think you're doing right. You chastised people to get them back into church. I disagree with that kind of chastisement. I kind of disagree with a little bit of the iron sharpens iron. I mean, it's okay. That's the things. I just there's feelings involved that hurt people that causes them to go away. But see, that has to deal with the Holy Spirit. But if you're in your mind and your heart and you know you have done right and like for me teaching the word of God, I can stand here boldly and confidently and say, "I have done right." Now analyze yourself. Say, "Have I been reading my Bible every day? Have I been praying? Have I been putting you first in my life?" Matthew 6:33, "Seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added unto you." So Hezekiah gets this bad word. By the way, it's not from the devil. It's not from the enemy. It's not a curse sent to him, a bow and arrow kind of thing. No, it's a word from the Lord. And he went to the Lord and says, "Remember what I've done." And he wept. when you're going before the Lord, you know, and I've said this before in past teachings, uh it's been quite a few teachings now, but I've always felt that after I became a believer or after I put God first in my life, I think I've been a believer since I was six because I called on his name when I was a six-year-old. But living my life for him has been different and it ages different and it it goes back differently. And when I did that, there was an emotional aspect. It was like everything inside of me broke and fell apart. It's like the rocks just came tumbling down inside of me. The hardness broke. So, I get very weepy and crying. You guys can testify to that because I tend to weep and cry. And this is why I always bring a trusty box of tissues with me to every teaching because I can feel the anointing of the Holy Spirit moving through me. That's what happened to Hezekiah. You see, you have to ask yourself when a word comes to you and now it doesn't matter who the word comes from, whether it's from God or whether it's from the devil. I love what one preacher said. He he uh was laying in bed one night, woke up in the middle of the night, heard voice, heard voices or someone talking and he leaned in. And by the way, this happened to me, although I didn't have the same reaction he did. But he leaned in, realized it was the devil cursing him out, and he says, "Oh, it's just you." And turned over and went to sleep. In my case, I said, "Get out of here." And then I turned over and went to sleep. But as a believer in Christ, this is the reaction that we have the right to. We have the right to go to God and say, "I've done the best I can. I've stood here and did this." It doesn't matter how anyone else judges us. when you have that right and that emotional factor with it because you know you've been broken. You know that God has put you back together the way he wants you put back together. And it it can be hard at times. But the moment you recognize that in the situation you're facing, it can change the entire outcome. And we're going to see that here. So it and it says here, "And it came to pass before Isaiah was gone out of the middle court." What that means is so Isaiah came in, he told Hezekiah the news and Isaiah turned around and started walking out of the temple or um the home of the king's house there. And Hezekiah is weeping to the Lord and he's crying which is that point where I think that every believer we should be able to come in. You know the other day I think it was um last Sunday morning. I forget what day it was but I had an issue that was going on. Uh yeah it would be Monday morning and I remember Sunday. It was it happened on Sunday and I I left it inside of me all Sunday and all Sunday evening and Monday morning. See, Monday mornings is my time where I pray for the body of Christ, the church, kingdom of God. I pray for my church that I'm going to. I pray for the leadership and all that. Monday mornings is my time for that. I held what I had going on inside of me. And I held that in and I waited till that moment because I know that's my I don't know it it was a moment of I'm going to meet God. And because of that it built up an anticipation. So when I got there Monday morning I just start balling my eyes out. Said Lord this situation I have to give it to you. And that weeping moment that Hezekiah had was his moment but he did it out of shock. Isaiah just told him the this news. So he does it out of shock. So while he's in this moment, so understand God heard him and decides to move immediately. So Isaiah hadn't even left the courtyard yet. And this is what he says. It came up pass came to pass before Isaiah was gone out into the middle court that the word of the Lord came to him saying turn again and tell Hezekiah the captain of my people. Thus sayeth the Lord the God of David thy father I have heard a word heard also could be attentively. You can get that out of the I've heard thy prayer your intercession supplication. You see that moment that you're weeping, God already heard everything. You're the human. You're still pouring it out of you. You're still getting it all out. And he's already moving things for you. Watch what he says to Hezekiah. Tells Isaiah to tell Hezekiah, "I have seen thy tears. Behold, I will heal thee. On the third day, thou shalt go up unto the house of the Lord. That's incredible. Here is a moment that Hezekiah is experiencing. And before Isaiah even gets out to the courtyard, he tells him, "Go back and tell him, I'm going to heal him." This is what he says he's going to do in 2 Kings 26 and 7. And he says, "And I will add into thy days 15 years, and I will deliver or snatch away thee and this city out of the hand of the king of Assyria, and I will defend or hedge about this city for my own sake and for my servant David's sake." All right, I got to pause here. There's a fact that we have to think about. Does God want to heal you or does he not want to heal you? How many times have we heard the saying, "If it be your will." Here, God is saying, "I'm going to do this for my own sake and for my servant David's sake." David is a righteous man who had a heart after God. And here's Hezekiah emulating that. That tells me that if you have that relationship with God like David did, God is going to answer your prayer like he did with David and like he did with Hezekiah for his own sake. Because see, he spoke these words over all of us. And he's given us blessings and benefits. Honor thy mother and father for long life. Go read Psalm 103. The benefits that we have. Psalm 91. There are so many promises that God has given us, but all of them are predicated on the relationship factor with the Lord. And I'm trying to show you here in scripture that when you have that res that relationship with God and God decides he's going to move for his own sake. He's going to move and he's going to make the situation right. And that's how God does this. He he he's focused on this. Says, "I will defend the city for my own sake and for my servant David say and here he says and Isaiah said take a lump of figs." And they took and laid it on the boil and he recovered. So uh now there's there's an interesting concept of knowing now you got 15 years left to live. You know how do you take that what what do you take that to be? Do you now be more brave, more bold? You think you can jump a few steps down extra without breaking anything? He didn't say he wouldn't break anything. He just said that you've got another 15 years. And then I have to wonder that when he got to that 15 year, how did Hezekiah behave? What did what happened at that point? So now there's more. There's a conversation that takes place here. Let's go to second Kings. I want you to see the other part of the 2 Kings 20:es 8-11. And Hezekiah said unto Isaiah, "What shall be the sign that the Lord will heal me and that I shall go up into the house of the Lord third day?" So remember I was telling you through Isaiah, 2 Kings and 2 Chronicles, this event uh takes place and each set of scriptures explains it a little bit more. So we saw in Isaiah now how God had healed him. Now there's conversation. So now Hezekiah is like, "Okay, what's the sign?" So we're coming back to that moment. He just finished crying. Here's Isaiah coming back telling him this is what's going to happen. And Isaiah asked him a question. Says, "And in verse 9, and and Isaiah said, "This sign shalt thou have of the Lord that the Lord will do the thing that he has spoken." And he goes, "Shall the shadow go forward 10 degrees or go back 10 degrees?" We're talking 10 minutes in time. Now, I want you to understand the 10 minutes here because this is this is that a little extra golden nugget we get out of this teaching. How long did it take Isaiah to walk in and tell Hezekiah his situation? Put your house in order. You're going to die. And how long did it take him to walk out of that chamber, get to that inner court before God told him turn around? So now Isaiah asks Hezekiah, you want the shadow on the degrees of uh the time to go forward or backwards. So Isaiah answers here in verse 10. And and Hezek, excuse me, Hezekiah answered, "And it is a light thing for the shadow to go down 10 degrees." Because see that happens every day. time is moving forward all the time. So that's normal. So then he says, "But let the shadow return backward 10 degrees." And Isaiah the prophet cried or to call he called out to God unto the Lord and he brought the shadow 10 degrees backwards by which it had gone down in the dial of Ahaz. Wait a second. Why? God's word spoke to Isaiah and to Hezekiah that he's going to die. God spoke the word. God keeps his promises. Hezekiah was supposed to die. God decides to undo his spoken word by repeating that 10 minutes of time. And by repeating that 10 minutes of time, a new spoken word came in where now he's going to bring Israel out of Assyria. He's going to uh save them from the attack. There's a a war going on in between all of this and Hezekiah because of what he did. God says, "I'm going to save the city and I'm going to save you." And he goes to do this. So, it's interesting. Let's read a little further because I want to get more into this. 2 Chronicles now in verse in chapter 32. We start here in verse 24 and this is now from and let me make sure that we understand how this works and how I'm putting all these scriptures together. So Isaiah is the prophet. Isaiah is the one who was used. So he wrote it in his book as to what God used him for. C uh second Kings is the books that were kept uh written by recorders of the kingdom at that time. Whoever was recording everything, they recorded everything the king did and what the king was. And that was written by a recorder. Chronicles is written by the Holy Spirit. This is God's perspective because there's things in Chronicles that the recorders had no idea to even record it. So you'll find elements in chronicles that is definitely not going to be in the kings. So we're going to elaborate a little further and let's look at it now all together. Now that especially now that we got a good chunk and idea of the story uh event. It's not a story. This is a true event that took place. So we're in 2 Chronicles 32. We're going to start here in verse 24. In those days Hezekiah was sick to the death and prayed unto the Lord and he spake unto him and he gave him a sign. But Hezekiah rendered not. So what you're now seeing, we know Hezekiah got healed. So now we're seeing the outcome because God saved the the saved Israel, saved Hezekiah, and now we're seeing what God says about all of that. It's very interesting. But Hezekiah rendered not again according to the benefit done unto him. For his heart was lifted up. Therefore, there was wrath upon him and upon Judah and Jerusalem. Did Hezekiah go back and say, "Thank you, Lord." That's what I get out of that. And so, God is now going to judge him. But watch, look what he says next. Notwithstanding, Hezekiah humbled himself. So, initially, Hezekiah didn't. But somewhere along the road of life here, the Holy Spirit talking to Hezekiah, maybe through Isaiah, I don't know. But he says, "Notwithstanding, Hezekiah humbled himself for the pride of his heart, both he and the inhabitants of Jerusalem." So he also had Jerusalem do it, not just himself, so that the wrath of the Lord came not upon them in the days of Hezekiah. Now what you'll find out is what he did is he ended up showing some strangers Babylon all that he had in his kingdom and Isaiah told him okay you're the whole thing is going to come away from you it's going to be taken away from you in your son's life and Hezekiah I it's here we'll see this uh we'll get into that scripture so um notwithstanding Hezekiah humbled himself for the pride of his heart both he and the inhabitants of Jerusale So that the wrath of the Lord came not upon them in the days of Hezekiah. And Hezekiah had exceeding much riches and honor. And he made himself treasuries for silver and for gold and for precious stones and for spices and for shields and for all manner of pleasant jewels. You know what? When you put God first in your life and you have a relationship, you are going to be blessed. You will have you will not want for anything. That's that's what you're seeing here with Hezekiah. And Hezekiah purposely humbled himself because he didn't want the wrath of God on him. Let's continue on. The storehouse is also for the increase of corn and wine and oil and all and stalls for all manner of beast and coats for flocks. Moreover, he provided him cities and possessions of flocks and herds in abundance. For God had given him substance very much. Why? Because he did what was right in the sight of God. He did and emulated like David. You and I have the opportunity to be rich beyond and not want or lack for anything because we put God first. We have a relationship and we can take all of our actions and do the actions for God. You know what Hezekiah did even above and beyond that. He didn't do it just for himself. Although there was self-preservation going on here. You kind of get that hint as you read these scriptures. I recommend you go and read them. But as he got uh he did all this rightfully, he had the claim when he turned his face to the wall to say, "I've done what you wanted me to do. I did what was right." And because he was doing what was right, he was blessed beyond measure. God never says that we have to be poor or that we have to be stupid or that we have to um live one way or another. But he will bless you because that's a promise because you put him first. You have a relationship with him first. That is your right to have that if you choose you want that. Let's continue on and read more about this verse 30. Then uh this same Hezekiah also stopped the other upper water course of Guehon and brought it straight down to the west side of the city of David. And Hezekiah prospered in all his works because he put God first. He had a He did right. He took rightable actions on behalf of the Lord. He says, "This is my God. I'm gonna fix that temple. This is his house. I'm gonna fix it." He did what David wanted done and he followed him. By the way, David is his great great great great great great there. He's several generations later. Now verse 31. How be it in the business of the ambassadors of the princes of Babylon. This is what I was referring to earlier where he showed the strangers princes of Babylon. Watch this. Who sent in him to inquire of the wonder that was done in the land. Because see, he was prospering so much and doing so well that these princes from Babylon show up, which you're going to find out that Israel, as you read about Israel, you probably already know it. Babylon took Israel captive, but not in Hezekiah's days. Even the the prophesied capture of Israel being scattered to the four winds didn't happen in Hezekiah's time because of having that relationship and he is the leader and he got Jerusalem all lined up with him and did what was right in the sight of the Lord and that gave him the ability that when the attack came not and it came and God healed him because of the humbleness and the crying out and reminding the Lord what he had done. But he also healed him because when all this was supposed to happen, he kept God kept the attack of Israel going into captivity from Hezekiah and Israel because they turned around. In other words, if Israel had stayed going right with God, they would not have ever gone scattered. And the prophecies, well, in this case, God prophesied because he knew it was going to happen and it did happen. But they could have turned around and there could have been I I believe in my heart that Ezekiel, Isaiah, Jeremiah would have written different things had there been the ability for them to turn around and come back from that edge. They just didn't do it. Look what it says here. Uh finishing at Babylon who sent him to inquire of the wonder that was done in the land. God left him. I mean, God left Hezekiah to try or test him that he might know all that was in his heart. Now, there's a price to pay when you have this type of relationship with the Lord. That price is God is going to test your heart. And that's exactly what happened here with Hezekiah. And so, when Isaiah came I, you know, I didn't bring all that scripture in here, but Isaiah comes later and says, "What did you show him?" And Hezekiah says, "I showed him everything." Oh, well, all that's going to go away now. And that's because he was testing his heart. And I don't know what he was expecting from there, but God was looking at his heart. Now, the rest of the acts of Hezekiah and his goodness, behold, they're written in the vision of Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amos, and in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel. And that is what happened to Hezekiah. And he had the right to turn his face to the wall and burrow himself in the chest of God in that moment and say, "Remember what I did." And God says, "Okay, I remember you. I'm going to heal you and I'm going to heal the city." And that's what God did because he stood up for God as a righteous man and did what was right in the sight of the Lord. Question I have for you is, do you want to do what's right for the Lord in your life, whatever that may be? Let's close in a word prayer. Father God, we thank you for your word and we bless your word. Thank you. We pray that your word never leaves our hearts and never leaves our minds, but that it uh impacts us so much that it reverberates our bones and that we remember and the Holy Spirit reminds us all the time so that every decision we make in life is so that we do it right unto you, Lord. Thank you for showing us how you move, how you move through Hezekiah and how you can move through us. In the name of Jesus, we pray. Thank you, Lord. Amen. God bless you. I will see you in the next message. Bye-bye. Home Previous Next

OBEDIENCE IN YOUR CALLING To encourage believers to walk faithfully in their God-given callings with humility and obedience, understanding that every follower of Christ is commissioned to share the gospel, serve others, and operate in the power of the Holy Spirit. < Back OBEDIENCE IN YOUR CALLING Minister Lisa Kane November 18, 2023 Objective: To encourage believers to walk faithfully in their God-given callings with humility and obedience, understanding that every follower of Christ is commissioned to share the gospel, serve others, and operate in the power of the Holy Spirit. Synopsis: In “Obedience in Calling” (Mark 16:15), Minister Lisa Kane teaches the importance of recognizing and submitting to the calling God has placed on every believer’s life. The message begins with the general commission to go into all the world and preach the gospel, reminding us that our mission extends beyond the church walls into everyday encounters—whether at the grocery store, workplace, or neighborhood. Drawing from scripture, Lisa shows how Jesus lived His calling (Luke 4:18–19), how Jonah initially resisted his call, and how Saul misunderstood his anointing, contrasting their responses with David’s servant-hearted obedience. Believers are urged to understand that being called is not limited to preaching—it includes gifts of service, healing, prayer, and leadership. The teaching emphasizes that the Holy Spirit empowers us through baptism, anointing, and prayer to walk in these assignments. Each act of obedience carries eternal weight: not only bringing deliverance and healing to others but also establishing believers as future witnesses in God’s judgment. Ultimately, the message calls Christians to servant leadership, daily obedience, and prayerful intercession—living as Christ’s hands and feet in the world. By humbly yielding to God’s direction, we bring glory to Him and fulfill our role in the harvest of souls. Inspired Teaching: Hello and welcome to the House of Faith Ministries. I'm Lisa Kaine and I'm recording this on Saturday, November 18th, 2023. Welcome. This message is called Obedience in Calling. Let's open up in a word of prayer. Father God, we thank you for the anointing of your presence and we thank you for the living word of God to be alive and to superimpose itself upon us, Father God, that we may walk in your calling, that we may deliver your word, that we may preach the gospel, share the good news to all around us, so that each and every person can hear and be saved. Father God, we glorify you and honor you. We thank you for calling us to the callings that you have in our lives. In the glorious name of Jesus, we pray. Amen. And amen. Amen. Amen. Let's go to uh our opening scripture here. That's obedience in your calling. We're going to start here in Mark 16:15, the King James version. And he said unto them, "Go ye into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature." I get it. Sometimes we wonder, "What is our calling in life?" So, what I'm going to do is I'm going to show you the general calling that the scriptures tell us to follow. We do have special gifts that we will be anointed with and blessed with those that are walking in those gifts by the Holy Spirit. We're also going to see in the scriptures what Jesus calling was. We're going to see uh different people and how they reacted with their calling that was that they should have followed and obeyed. So, I'm going to bring all that here because I really want you to see the different reactions that are out there is kind of interesting, but at the same time, I'm hoping to encourage you to be attentive to what you're hearing around you. You should be listening to other preachers and pastors teaching as well. And if you are, you're going to find that there is a general consensus like with what we've been praying and teaching on um you know uh deliverance within ourselves. This has been a thing going on and and like Lance Wallnau uh his prophecy prophetic summit here in 2024 that he got to speak at, you know, he's one of the teachers there. He shared and we need to go out into the world. He's talking about his uh seven mountains. You can go check him out. That's Lance Wall now. W A L L N AU's I I was blessed by his message and I hope that you are too. that you should be listening to others because what you find is that they're teaching similar to what you're teaching or what the low Holy Spirit is showing you in the secret place. So if you've been reading his scriptures, which is what I've been preaching, you will find pastors and preaching pastors and teachers preaching the same thing and you'll be like, "Oh, the Holy Spirit is speaking to me." And that's how this works. So let's start here. Mark 16:15, he says, "Go." Which means, you know, get out. get out of the the church. You see, most people that attend a church attend it once, twice, maybe three times a week. You do have your occasional Easter and Christmas service attendees as well, but for the most part, most people tend to go about two, three times a week. Well, the issue is what about the rest of the week? You see, we need to be outside the walls of the church ministering the word of God out there. The church is already in the presence of the Lord in our secret place. The body of Christ is already there. What we need to do is go out there because the harvest is out there. So, we have to go reap the harvest or water it, whatever. We're called to tend the garden as Adam was called to do. Well, that's what you're saying here. He's telling you to go. you need to travel, depart, whatever it is, you know, and when you walk into like your grocery store, your gas station, when you start speaking to the people and you interact with people, God bless you. Have a wonderful day. How are you? You know, interact and have that conversation because you'll be surprised how many lives you will impact just from doing that. And there you don't even have to have any scripture. When Paul was talking to I forget what church it was, but as he's talking to that particular area, he met them at their area of being knowledgeable or they thought they were knowledgeable. He b he used their gods and their messages and turned it around on them. He didn't have to use the word of God there. But the Holy Spirit will give us what to say, when to say, and how to say it. So, we got to get out into the world. And that world there means orderly arrangement. Let me remind everybody the way I teach this is the word word in bold is the word in the scripture. What's in italicized in parentheses is other words that could have been translated in that world in in that word. All right. So we got go which means travel depart. We have world orderly arrangement just things that are set up in arrangement. And to preach and what does that word preach mean? to herald divine truth, herald divine truth, proclaim, publish. So with when you can do it multiple ways, do it with your body language. Do it with your mouth. God bless you. Hey, how you doing? You don't even have to say God bless you. Just smile and are you doing okay? Is everything okay with you? It's great to see you. How's everything going? And even if this is strangers, you simply say, hey, you look nice. or hey, you know, I hope you're having a great day cuz God is with you or the L the Holy Spirit will give you the right thing to say at the right time. Amen. So, we're told to go into the world. We're told to herald the divine truth, which is the gospel, the good news, and that gospel there's good message to every creature. That word creature, there's building, creation, ordinance. You see what I'm doing now? I'm called to teach and preach the living word of God, but I'm not in a church. I'm with the house of faith ministries. And that is the covering I have over me. That's what I'm called. House of Faith Ministries is an ordinance, a building. That is what this is talking about when it says every creature. It's like going and preaching to uh Elon M Musk and X or going to Walmart because see all of these buildings are part in part we all walk in part of that system that's in place. I'm working on getting the prayers written up so we can place them here on in the section in the website called empowering prayers. As I get the prayers broken up, we'll be praying for businesses. So, as you're praying for them behind the scenes, when you walk into them, you want to make your presence known by you smile because the people will sense it and they will know. Amen. Let's look at Luke 4:18 and 19. This is Jesus speaking. This is the calling Jesus had on his life. The spirit of the Lord is upon me because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor. He hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, to preach the acceptable year of the Lord. Okay, so this is what Jesus had. Now, we can always go back to Psalm 149 and realize that through his blood and his redemption, we're to be Christlike and we've been given authorities, which is what those prayers. And I just finished teaching on this in the last couple of weeks. So, you can get into that and go check it out. I'm just going to get it up on the website so that it's written down so we can follow it. But, I want you to see the things that Jesus were tasked to do. It wasn't just to die on the cross. He had things to accomplish in his ministry. Now remember, he is the word of God, the living word of God. He's the embodiment of it, personification of it. He's the one that came to life out of that because he wrote it. So he knew every word in the entire scriptures but written by all authors. He knew them all and he knew what he had to fulfill while he was walking here on the earth. So he says, "The spirit of the Lord upon is upon me." Now, if we're to be Christlike, we need the spirit of the Lord upon us. To do that, you get water baptized. When Jesus was baptized, the dove came upon him. Now, you when you get baptized and this the spirit of the Lord comes upon you, that's when you're ready to go into ministry. Now, you could always go look at the day of Pentecost where Peter stands up in Acts and prior to that there were flames coming out of his head or all of their it was 120 of them. They're speaking in tongues and people heard them in their own language. So, there was a manifestation of the spirit there and that spirit is something we can be giving out to others and praying over. Elders should be praying the Holy Spirit anointing upon their congregation, people that are ready to walk into their calling. So, this is a couple of ways that you walk in. One, you get baptized, and two, have the elders pray the anointing over you. Get the spirit of the Lord upon you. Now, if you're being called to, let's say, be a pastor, they will pray over you. They will anoint you with oil. So when you have a special calling, be a king, a senator, uh whatever calling, the leadership of your company, whatever it is that has, you can do that in the name of Jesus, have someone pray over you and anoint you with oil. This solidifies the contract and lets the enemy and the heavenly realm know that you are covered and called in this area. This is how this works. Okay. Now, the spirit of the Lord is upon me because he hath anointed. There was contact with oil made to preach the gospel, the good news to who? The poor. What is the churches supposed to do? You need to have food for the poor. Do you have money? You should be buying groceries for your neighbors that you know that don't have any. You should be buying groceries for your church and not outdated things. It should be current fresh food that you can hand out to your followers. This is very important. This is that's another part of a calling in our lives. He has sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to make whole. You see that word heals, cure, make whole, and the brokenhearted is crushed and shattered. How many people do you hear in this service or in a Bible study where they're sharing in confidence things that are going on around them? They're in really bad shape. They're broken and you can see it. And it's like, wow. Well, if Jesus came to heal them, guess what you are called to do? To heal them, too. to preach deliverance, freedom, pardon to the captives because there's people in bondage. They have no idea how to get out of it. But if you are listening to this message and have been following this message, you are in the secret place with the Lord. You are filled with the anointing of the Holy Spirit. You can go pray for them and know exactly what to pray, which is what I've been teaching. That's why I want to put it in writing and get it on the website to the captives which captives are prisoners of war. There's a war you know you're born automatically into a war the moment of conception your mother conceived you in sin and now you are sin. So immediately you have to repent. So it takes a few years because you grow up and as you grow up you finally say, you know, Lord, I need you to be lord my lord of me, be my savior because I have sinned and I messed up. And see, now you get on your path with God and you start growing with him. Start learning and recovering of sight to the blind, restoring the blind's eyes. They can't see. There's people out here who are under a strong delusion right now. They can't see what's going on. They're blinded. They're It's just opaque to them. And in fact, they think that you're nuts. Well, guess what? They're the ones that are blinded. It's not us. To set out liberty, them that are bruised. So, we can also take these people that have been buffeted and hurt by the devil and proclaim liberty and pardon them. We get to pardon them. This is the atonement and the priest and the priestly acts that is our responsibility a calling in our lives. These are little things that we should be doing. Jesus was doing watch what he says here to preach the acceptable year of the Lord. Look at that. So we get to proclaim an acceptable or approved favored year. We get to do that just as much as Jesus did. He did it. I'll show you the scripture here regarding that. Watch it here in a moment. So, and then the Lord is the authority. So, we get to set this year apart. We have a new year coming up here very shortly. We get to proclaim it as an acceptable year of the Lord placing God's favor on it because we, the church, the body of Christ, taking back what the enemy had stolen from us because that is the prayer, the calling we have in our lives. This is awesome. what the Lord is doing. Now look at this in John 14:12. Verily, verily, I say unto you, he that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also, and greater works than these shall he do, because I go unto my father. You see, Jesus was in the flesh, and he walked the earth for 33 years. He healed the sick. He showed he healed the blind. He let people be delivered. He cast out demons. These are the things we should do because we're in the flesh. He had to go to the father. He's now in the spirit. So now in the flesh, we have to take up his duty. And it was Did you see the the extra part there? And greater. I've got to do more than Jesus. I'm going to tell you when Peter cru was crucified, martyed, upside down on the cross, he did it willingly. He went up there and says, "I did what I was told to do. I've been waiting for this day because I knew I was going to die for Christ." And I taught on this a few weeks ago. So when you see the calling in your life, these are the things you're going to do which is greater than what Jesus did here on the earth. And if you don't think that you can do that, you better get the Holy Spirit because this is biblical and this is what Jesus is saying to us. get it. I'm reading it right off the living word of God right here in front of you. But notice, look at he says he he that believeth that believeth means to have faith and the works, the toil, the deeds, the labor that Jesus did greater, larger, the elder of those works shall we do. And what is that word do? To make, agree, appoint, band together, cast out. because we're still in the flesh while he's gone on to the Holy Spirit. You see how we had to come in agreement there? This is interesting. Okay, we have to come into agreement and we have to walk and choose to walk in this. Now, you may think, well, I can't do any of that. That's exactly what you should be thinking. Not by might nor by power, but by his spirit, says the Lord. So all you're doing is saying, "Okay, Lord, in obedience, I'm going to go lay hands on this person." Now look at what Jonah did because I want you to see Jonah, his calling. Now the word, so this is Jonah chapter 1 1-3. Now the word of the Lord came unto Jonah, the son of Amiti, saying, "Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and cry, call out against it, for your wickedness has come up before me." But Jonah rose up to flee into unto Tarses for the presence of the Lord and went down to Japa and he found a ship going to Tarses. So he paid the fair thereof and went down into it to go with him into Tarses from the presence of the Lord. He was supposed to go to Nineveh and because that's his calling. But he got mad because he felt that Nineveh did not deserve grace. He knew they would repent. See, Jonah knew the moment he spoke, they're going to re receive and believe. And he took off because he was mad. And he told God straight up. See, God understands relationships. He understands your hurt. He wants to hear you tell him these things. Now, in the case of Jonah, he went running and God sent a great fish after him. And he ends up staying in this fish for three days because it took him that long to come to the conclusion that God was in control. Yeah. And and then he repented. He humbled himself. He went to Nineveh and they got saved and he was all happy about it, but they repented. And I wanted you to see that because he disobeyed his calling. We have to obey our calling. Where are you? Did you run? Are you the one running? Or are you in a situation where you are praying? You're going to church, but you don't know what to do. This is where you have to purpose yourself to get the knowledge of the living word of God in you, which means you spend time, quality time with the Lord and his word. Amen. Now, I want you to look at Saul. This is a man that was going to become King Saul. Watch what happens here. So in 1st Samuel 9:16, "Tomorrow about this time," so God is talking to Samuel. He says, "Tomorrow about this time, I will send thee a man out of the land of Benjamin, and thou shalt anoint him to be what? Captain, commander." Did he say king? I want you to see some revelation here. This is awesome. Over my people Israel. that he may save free safe entity my people out of the hand of the Philistines for I have looked upon my people because their cry is come unto me. Saul was not called to be king. The people asked for a king and God says to Samuel, I'm going to give them what they want. He gives them a commander to rule over them to help them defeat the Philistines. So he's a captain. He's a commander, but his calling was to save the people out of the hand of the Philistines. That's what his calling was to do. That's all Saul was called to do. And yet, he went a little step further. Now, Samuel prophesies and he tells him everything that's going to go happen. But in the meantime, Samuel took a vial of oil. This is now Samuel 10:1. And poured it on his head, and kissed him, and said, "Is it not because the Lord hath anointed thee to be captain commander over his inheritance?" I want you to see something. You notice he anointed him with oil. If you're called to be an elder of a church or a pastor of a church, they got to anoint you with oil to be able to do that. You can't do it without having the calling and the anointing on you. And there's specific words. And look at the specific words. He's called to be the captain, a commander over Israel, which is the inheritance. They're going to occupy that land. This is their heirloom. This is their possession. This is what's been given to Saul. And by the way, if he defeats the Philistines, his kingdom now will be establish. His captain, his commandership. He's got blessings ahead of him. Oh, but let's look at what happened because this is very important because now Samuel prophesies over Saul and says this is exactly what you're going to do. Verse six of chapter 10, the spirit of the Lord come upon thee and thou shalt prophesy with him and shalt be turned into another man. So Saul is not a spiritual kind of man, but he's going to have an encounter that is spiritual, and it's going to make him think like he's a prophet or a seer himself. So he is going to be turned into another man. He and verse seven, and let it be when these signs are come unto thee that thou do as occasion serve thee, for God is with thee. So see, God gave him his calling. He got anointed. So now God and Saul are joined together to defeat the Philistines. That's what Saul's calling is. When you're called and you're anointed, you and God joined together and you need to do exactly what your calling is. Now watch this. Verse nine. And it was so that when he had turned his back to go from Samuel, God gave him another heart. Look at that word though. It means hinder next and other. And all those things came to pass that day. God already purposed. He knew exactly what Saul was going to do. So now Saul was going to become a hindrance to David. Because see the people wanted Saul and Saul ran ahead from it but pulled him out, anointed him with oil and then simply gave him a captainship, a a commander. They didn't give him kingship and he gave him a new heart. He had a new heart. He now had a covenant with God. But part through there, instead of going after the Philistines and serving God, he decided to put a crown on his head and serve as king to the people because that's what the people wanted. But that word heart meant hindrance. And then comes David, the apple of his eye. Look at Psalm 89:3 and4. I have made a covenant with my chosen. This is God talking. I have sworn unto David my servant. Thy seed will I establish forever and build up thy throne to all generations. You see now, God, he God's the one handling all this. So you're you if you're obedient to your calling, how little or how great it is. If it's just a smile unto people, because there's not everybody's made to be a preacher, not everybody is made to walk in wisdom, knowledge, understanding, but there are tongues, there are gifts of healings, there's gifts of administration, there are all kinds of gifts from the Holy Spirit that you can have a calling on. So don't limit yourself and don't limit God. But look, if Saul had continued obeying God, do you think that his seed would have been the one that was established and Jesus would have came through his seed? See, God chooses you. You're his elect, and he will swear unto you. And look at what David is, though. He's a servant. You see, to be a king, you need to be a servant. The best commanders, captains, kings, leadership. The best ones are the ones who serve the people. So your calling is servantthood. Be humbled before the Lord as you share the living word of God. As it per person personifies itself, it comes out of you. That is walking with God. Now let's go to Acts 18. Now this is Jesus talking to the 120 or to the disciples. But ye shall receive power after the Holy Ghost has come upon you and ye shall be witnesses upon me unto me both in Jerusalem and in all Judea and in Samaria and unto the uttermost part of the earth. Look at that. You shall receive you're going to take get hold of force a miraculous power when the Holy Ghost comes upon you. superimposes himself on you and you'll be witnesses. Look at that word witness. It means to martyr, record. You see, there's two parts to your calling. It's not just being obedient and going out and doing what you're told to do. You're serving that. You're obedient. You do that. But when you do that, you're doing it to a recipient. And whether that recipient receives or not, you're going to judge that recipient in the future. That's how this works. So let's go take a look at that because this is very important because this is part of your calling. Matthew 12:40 through42 Jesus is talking. For as Jonas was, this is Jonah, but the King James version translates it and said Jonas. For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly or the fish's belly, so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth. The men of Nineveh shall rise in judgment with this generation. And what was Jonah? What did he do? He had to go to the city of Nineveh, preach to them so they would get saved. He ended up doing it because he didn't want to, but they got saved. So what Jesus is saying, that generation that got saved is going to stand up in judgment with this generation that Jesus is currently walking and ministering to and shall condemn it. the folks of Nineveh that got saved in the time of Jonah, they're going to stand up and they're going to condemn this generation. And the reason they get that right to do it because they repented at the preaching of Jonah and behold, a greater than Jonah is here. Do you see the power and the authority of the calling now you have? Because it's twofold. It's not just you being obedient going there. that's in the flesh, but in the spirit, you're going to come back and you're going to judge because this is how this works. This is how God has established it and set it up. Verse 42, the queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with this generation and shall condemn it because why would she do it? For she came from the innermost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon and behold a greater than Solomon is here. See, they went out of their way to believe in God and they didn't even have the Messiah there. But now that the Messiah is there, this generation is rejecting him. But he's he's saying, "Okay, well, you know what? I'm going to the these generations are going to rise up and judge you because they rejected the Messiah." Oh. So even though you're preaching and you're sharing the gospel, you smile. If somebody goes h and just walks away from you, guess what? You're the one who's going to judge them if they go to the afterlife life and never repent. That's your calling. So if you're obedient, you're the one sharing the good news. You're not the one on the other side supposed to be receiving it but rejecting it. There's a lot of people who are rejecting. We have to be very careful and cautious of this because when we're teaching, when we're sharing the spirit of God when we're saying the right words that the Holy Spirit gives us to that person in the grocery store or at the gas station or the laundromat, wherever you're at, I promise you that the Holy Spirit's going to give you those right words. and they're either going to accept or reject. Either you're part of the watering line that goes on on top of a person because people get saved weird ways. It the reaping of the harvest for that individual can happen after 20 different people God sent to them telling them the same thing over and over again. you. Sometimes it takes that kind of thing to happen from God to make that happen to get that person to realize maybe there is a God and he is talking to me. What do I do to get saved? And then the doors open. But this is our calling. This is what we do. Let's go back to John 14:12 because now I want you to see this with all of that knowledge behind you. Verily, verily, I say unto you, he that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also, and greater works than these shall he do, because I go unto my father. So Jesus clearly telling us we're going to be doing greater works than he did, which is healing, casting out demons, and being obedient to what his word is, and confessing Jesus as the son of God, sharing that to all those around us. Amen. Go back to Mark 16:15, our opening scripture. And he said unto them, "Go ye into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature." That's your calling because you are going to judge those people on the aftermath if they choose to reject. Now, if they choose to receive, hallelujah, whether, like I said, you either watered them, nourished them, you're part of that line of people that came and talked to them and they eventually get saved. Whether it's 20 people, 10 people, 50 people, whatever it is, they finally get saved. Woo! Well, then after that, if they choose to reject, you're one of the ones that are come forward in the afterlife and going to judge them because that's just the way things are. So in this obedience that we need to have, the best thing we need to do is be a servant unto that and be obedient to that. So we're going to say a prayer here. I'm going bring it up on the screen. Let's say it together so that we can let the spirit of servantthood come upon our hearts and minds so that we can walk in the obedience that we're called to do. This is called prayer of servantthood the servants covenant and you can find this in the empowering prayer section of the house of faithministries.org website and this is a prayer that's a petition to become a humble servant. This is founded in John 12:26. Whoever serves me must follow me and where I am my servant also will be. My father will honor the one who serves me. So let's pray. Dear Jesus, let's let's do it straight on the screen. Just repeat after me. Father in heaven, I surrender all positions in life to you in order to become Jesus's faithful servant and to follow him. This body is not my own, but it has been purchased with the blood of Jesus. I want to be in your perfect will, Lord Jesus. Let everything that I do bring glory and honor to you, dear Lord. Teach me to be humble. Train me to be your faithful servant. Amen. Of course, if you need to repeat this or you didn't get it all, you can pause the video and go back and say it out loud. You need to say it out loud because what's going on around you is the kingdom of God is there. So, you have the throne room where God is judge. He's righteous and he's up there. And then you have D uh the devil over here accusing you of whatever it is that you've done. You have Jesus standing next to you because you repented and you said, "Okay, Lord, I'm going to be obedient. I call on the name of the Jes the son of God, Jesus, and I repent and I ask him to be my Lord and Savior." So Jesus now is covering you. So here's the devil accusing you of whatever it is. And you repented. And so Jesus is saying to God, I accept hers or his repentance and those things are no longer active. So God's up there in the throne room looking at what you did. He crosses it out with the blood of Jesus says, "Yep, you're clean, saved, and whole." And the devil is frustrated because he can't do anything. And now you get to move forward like Jesus under his obedience. And every time you move forward, you do it in prayer. It starts in the secret place with the Lord. When you're in the secret place with the Lord, you are praying behind the scenes for those folks at your grocery store, for your neighbors, for your government, for your teachers and the education system, for the entertainment system, for your life, for your family and friends. And what you're doing is you say, "Lord, I atone for them. I stand in their shoes and I lift up my hands with them and I say on their behalf, Lord, forgive me. Be my Lord and Savior. Come into my heart and forgive me and help me walk in the living word of God." You see, when you are praying on their behalf, the strong angels now move forward to those people. They start fighting the demons off and the demons are saying no no no no no I have a contract here and see the first thing you do is because you say Lord forgive me of my sins the contract becomes nullified and so they have the demons have to let go in fact you could even go further and say demons get below my feet I bind you with feathers of iron preventing you from interfering in my family's life my workplace co-workers my neighborhood You say all of that. You bind that devil. You put him below your feet. And you can go one step further and say, "Lord, rebuke you." And here's the best part because you get to execute judgment. And like Psalm 149 said, I've already taught on this. You get to tell you because you're starting with forgiveness. You're actually asking God to open their ears and eyes, hearts and minds to he to see, hear, and and receive and believe the living word of God. because you're asking them to do that. There's forgiveness there. So, you're asking God, give them the opportunity to receive repentance because God will give them that opportunity. But I promise you, there are going to be some that are still rebelling, rejecting, and blasphemy the Holy Spirit because you're dealing with people that the devil has gotten into so bad. They're stuck there. And whether they're going to stay there or not, that's between God and them. But what you get to do is you give them that opportunity and then you go to the Lord and said Lord if they continue to reject you then Lord rebuke them and God will take care of them. This is why we have the consequences of sin which is uh cancer diseases people dying before their time should be. You see, these are the things that unbelievers or people rejecting God blatantly and rejecting the Holy Spirit, those are the things they have to deal with until they repent. And then your life turns around remarkably. You won't have those curses upon you because that's the way God works. I encourage each and every one of you to get into the secret place with the Lord and one, open the Bible and read what God is telling you. to pray. You have a calling. Every believer has a calling of prayer in their lives. God may take you further up to your calling, but I promise you, you need to be obedient to the heavenly father and the calling he has in your life because he needs you in place in lie of Jesus who had to go home in spirit. We're the ones still in the flesh and we're the ones that need to serve in the name of Jesus. Hallelujah. Let's close in a word of prayer. Father God, we thank you for your word. We thank you for showing us how to live your word, how to pray, how to submit and humble ourselves before you, how to be a servant, how to call on you and to be obedient to the calling you have in our lives and wh Previous Next Home
