- UNDERSTANDING THE BOOK OF REVELATION PART 9 | House of Faith Ministries (HoFM)
UNDERSTANDING THE BOOK OF REVELATION PART 9 Written Teaching Pastor Marcos Marrero June 28, 2009 Objective Equip believers to understand the prophetic flow of Revelation—from the close of the Church Age to Christ’s return, the Millennium, and the Final Judgment—so we live ready, bold, and anchored in the finished work (the blood) of Jesus while urging others to repentance and hope. Synopsis The message opens in prayer, inviting the Holy Spirit’s blessing promised to those who read Revelation. The teaching then walks through a compressed timeline: Church Age & Rapture: The faithful (Philadelphia) are caught up; the lukewarm (Laodicea) face purification on earth. Two Witnesses (1,260 days): Identified as Elijah and Enoch; they prophesy, are killed, raised, and ascend—after which a representative vacuum on earth sets the stage for the Antichrist. Antichrist’s Unopposed Rule (1,290 days): Global control and coercion to receive the mark of the beast. An angel warns (Rev 14:9–11): taking the mark brings eternal judgment. Harvests & Martyrs: Christ reaps those who refused the mark; they appear on the sea of glass mixed with fire (Rev 15:2–3), singing the songs of Moses and the Lamb—Jews and Christians purified and rewarded before entering the temple presence. Seven Bowl Judgments (Rev 16): Targeted, righteous judgments mirror spiritual realities—incurable sores (uncleanness), waters to blood (corrupted life), scorching sun (judgment of sun-worship), darkness over the beast’s throne, culminating in a cataclysmic quake in which mountains vanish and Babylon is fully judged. Heavenly Scene (Rev 19:1–10): While earth is judged, heaven resounds with “Hallelujahs” and the Marriage of the Lamb; the Bride is clothed in righteous acts. Return of Christ (Rev 19:11–16): Jesus descends on a white horse; by the sword of His mouth He destroys gathered armies (the winepress of God’s wrath). The beast and false prophet are cast alive into the lake of fire. Millennial Kingdom (Rev 20:1–6): Satan is bound 1,000 years; survivors and preserved Israel repopulate the earth under Messiah’s rule of peace and longevity. Final Rebellion & White Throne (Rev 20:7–15): Satan’s brief release culminates in swift defeat. All the unrighteous dead face judgment; those not in the Book of Life are cast into the lake of fire. Call to Readiness: Believers are urged to keep short accounts with God (apply the blood at the “door”), stand as Christ’s ambassadors, reject dead religion, and shine with hope. As the world trends toward centralized control, the Church must proclaim: “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.” Key Themes: the seriousness of the mark, the mercy of God even in judgment, rewards by fire for believers, the certainty of Christ’s victory, and living now with courage, purity, and evangelistic urgency as we await His appearing. Written and/or Transcribed Teaching from Video Hallelujah. Father in heaven in Jesus name, we thank you for this opportunity to come together as your body, Father God, and partake of your precious word, which is our life, which is our sustenance, which is what lives in us and moves us, Father God, to love you with all of our hearts. We thank you that as uh we come together to partake of the word in the uh book of Revelation, there's a blessing. You said that those who read it and partake of this um teaching will be blessed and we open ourselves tonight to receive the blessing from the Holy Spirit. Jesus, you said that the Holy Spirit would come to you and take from you and bring it directly to us. Every single one of us here have needs, Father God. And we pray that under the blessing of the teaching of the book of Revelation that the Holy Spirit will take from your hands now that which each and every one of us needs tonight and that he will bring it and impart it to us, Father God, that your name, Lord Jesus, may be glorified for all of the goodness and kindness that you have shown to us because of the precious blood that was shed for us. In Jesus name we pray tonight, Lord. And we thank you for the mighty blessings in Jesus name. Amen. Amen. Amen. Praise God. Hallelujah. How many people are exciting here tonight? I am excited. Praise God. If you got the book, we're going to start on page 70. And uh if not, we're going to start in the Revelation 14 9:11. Revelation 14:911. Now what we have been uh dealing with um so far and I hope uh tonight I think it's going to be our last night. I hope I get to go and conclude all the way um uh to the new Jerusalem. But if you've been with us, you know that we completed, we started talking about the church age, the rapture of the church, the seven-year wrath of God. God is going to put an end to sin, put an end to suffering, put an end to everything in a period of time of seven years. Seven years is 255 days. And uh the final judgment against uh the antichrist takes place in 42 days. And at the end of those 45 days, God restores everything. So from the time that the rapture takes place to the time because when the rapture takes place, we're going to be taking up to the Lord to be with the Lord to meet the Lord in the clouds and be with him in the air. So we're going to be out there while the earth is being purified. uh 2600 days will take that's 7 years and 45 days from the time that we're raptured to the time that Jesus comes down from heaven. It says that uh he's coming on a white horse and and the armies of heaven are following and the saints all dressed in white. That will be a 2600 uh day period. We talked about that the resurrection of the church completes what the Bible calls the church age. There's going to be two types of churches at that time. One is a Philadelphia church who kept the word of God and and the the name of Jesus. That one is taken up. There's a church is called the Leodysa church. Revelation 3:10 I mean 3:20 says yeah 3:10. Behold I stand at the door and knock. If anybody if anybody hears my voice I will come in. That church does not have Jesus inside of there. She has denied Jesus. So that church gets left to go through this time of purification. Then we spoke about 1260 days. The two witnesses, these are Elijah and Enoch, two men who never died, come down from heaven. They lay down the law. They prophesy for 1,260 days. At the end of the 1,260 days, they are killed. Their bodies lay on Jerusalem on the Temple Mount probably for three and a half days. At the end of the three and a half days, the spirit from God comes into those dead bodies. They raise up and that is the the second res the the second part of the first resurrection with the rapture. There's a resurrection and then now these people are going to be resurrected. Now, at that time, the Bible says God enters into a covenant. And I think it's in Jeremiah, the scripture is in the book. Um, but God said to Jeremiah, "If you can break my covenant with David, that he will always have a descendant to sit on the throne, then you can break my covenant with day and night. The day and night will not come at their appointed time." And so uh uh through David as a son through Israel and then through the church God David has always had a descendant. That means somebody that is anointed by God to represent God here on the earth for the last 2,000 years. We the church have been the representative of God. As a matter of fact, Paul says that we are ambassadors. An ambassador is a person who represents another nation in another nation. you know, if I'm made an ambassador to Kuwait, you know, and I go over there, I I I go to the, you know, the president or or their their ministry and I show my credentials here. The United States is sending me as an ambassador. I become a representative of the United States to that nation. That's what we are. Because in reality, when we accepted Jesus Christ, we die and we're now seated at at the right hand of the father uh uh with Jesus. But we are kept here as ambassadors. And so as ambassadors, we represent God. Now when the rapture takes place, we're not here anymore. That's why the two witnesses come and seal 144,000 12,000 from a tribe of Israel. Now they're anointed to be the ambassadors to God. Now when the two witnesses are killed and they're removed, we found out that time stopped. When evening came, the sun refused to sit down. Why? Because the covenant with David has been broken. They from that time on there's now not one person representative uh representing God's interest here on the earth because the two witnesses have been killed. They have been resurrected. That's why Jesus said when you see the abomination that causes desolation. Desolation means vacated. That means there's there's no representative. Now, this is the time of the antichrist where we're going to be talking tonight. The antichrist at that time when the the time starts moving up again, the antichrist will take over control of everything that is in the world. That means that whatever nation is not going along with the program at that time, he will be the total and complete dictator. His rule will last on opposed for 1,290 days. By the time the 200 1,290 days comes to an end, he would have already forced everybody who is alive at that time to take a mark. And the angel, who's the one that's going to proclaim the gospel at that time, is going to come flying and it's going to tell everybody, "Whatever you do, don't take the mark of the beast." Because if you take the mark of the beast, you're going to be in hell for eternity. So at the end of those 1290 days, every person who has not taken the mark of the beast and that the antichrist was able to get a hold of will be beheaded. But that is a time, the end of 1290 days, when the judgments of God, and this is what we're dealing with tonight. We're going to go to the scriptures right now. That's when the judgment of God begins upon the antichrist. Third judgment is going to be 42 days. It's going to begin in a Sabbath and it's going to end on the Sabbath. So, it's going to be seven Sabbath. But since it begins on one, it's going to be uh six weeks, 6* 7 is 42. So, I just gave you an idea there as to where we're going to start. Now, let's go to the um uh let me see. I said Revelation 14 9:11, right? Okay. Then a third angel followed them saying with a loud voice, "If anyone worship the beast and his image and receive his mark on his forehead or on his hand, he himself shall also drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out full strength into the cup of his indignation. And he, whoever the person is that takes the mark of the beast, shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the lamb. And the smoke of their torment ascend forever and ever. And they have no rest day or night who worship the beast and his image. And whoever received the mark of his name. Now during this time uh that is just beginning right now. The the people that are left on the earth I believe are the people that were so demonized that were not able number one to receive the gospel like we do now and to be saved or during the ministry of the two witnesses. They were so demonized that they couldn't let other demons go and and do what the two witnesses said they had to do in order to be saved. What is going to take place in this time is that now Satan is when when Babylon the great, which is where all of the demons come from, is judged. Satan is the only entity that is going to be left. And then the people who were so demonpossessed or demonized, they were so great influence on their demons. When those demons are removed from them, now for the first time, they can see. And so these people that now repent and refuse to accept the mark of the beast are going to be killed. But the reason why I believe that they're able to now be saved after living through all of that other stuff is that now for the first time they can see. So in Revelation 14:14-16, now we see the the resurrection of those who were beheaded said, "Then I look and behold a white cloud and on the cloud sat one like the son of man having on his head a golden crown and in his hand a sharp sickle. And another angel came out of the temple crying with a loud voice to him who sat on the cloud. He says, "Trust in your sickle and reap, for the time has come for you to reap, for the harvest of the earth is ripe. So he who sat on the cloud trusted in his sickle of the earth and the earth was reaped." Now this is the people that were reaped. Look at Revelation 15. Just go ahead a little bit. Revelation 15, next chapter, verse 2, three, and verse 8. These are the people that were just reap or resurrected. He says, "And I saw something like a sea of glass mingle with fire, and those who have the victory over the beast, over his image, and over his mark, and over the number of his name, standing on the sea of glass, having harps of God." And listen what they do. They sing the song of Moses, the servant of God, and the song of the lamb. That means that these were Jews and Christians. Now you say, "Man, how come uh uh uh through all of that there were Christians that were not saved and there were Jews that were not saved?" Well, if you look at the the Revelation chapter 7 when the 12 tribes were sealed, we know that two of the tribes were cursed back in in in uh during the times of Moses and that Joseph's two sons became tribes to replace them. So when you look at the tribes that were sealed in revelation chapter 7, we find out that Dan and Ephraim wasn't there. Two tribes were not there. So it means these are still Jews. They're still under the covenant of the law, but they have not been sealed. And we also see that that layout they say a church, the church that says, I don't have a need of God. You know, she trusted on her religion and on her wealth and on her gold and silver, which is a type of selfishness, which is where the demon strength is at. Well, once these um demons were removed from these people because uh uh uh Babylon the great is judged during this 1290 days and all of these demons are locked up. He said Babylon becomes a cage to every foul bird and to every foul spirit. So now these people see this is how merciful God is. If you look at this, God is pleading with mankind today to get saved so that they can be spared. See, God is coming to the earth. Uh Jesus Christ is going to rule and reign on the earth for a thousand years. But the earth is contaminated. Everything that has breath is contaminated with demonic things. And just like the children of Israel, when they went into the promised land, they were told to kill every old man, every old woman, every man, every woman, every child, every uh goat, every everything that had breath of life had to be destroyed. Why? Because those Canaanites were so demonized that everything was infected with demonic things. And if the Israelites, like they did, refused to clean it all completely, one generation later, they were all demonized. They were all contaminated. So here we see that God comes in and he says, "My church has the power to bring deliverance. He that calls upon the name of the Lord shall be delivered, shall be saved." This is what the job of the church should be. The job of the church is to break the power of Satan over people so that their eyes can be open and they can see the salvation that God has given them. Okay? And and there's a church that Leo say church that they have taken out of their hymns and songs book the blood because it's offensive. Hello. Who do you think is offended by the blood of Jesus? The demons, they're the ones that don't want to hear about the blood. That's what gets them out. And so this church has had a reputation for centuries. And so this church now says, "Hey, we don't need God. We have our own traditions. We have everything. And so these people have to go through this time of of persecution and trials until finally the power, the demonic power that blinds him is removed. And then we see here through the mercy of God that even though they missed the gospel, even though they missed the the the witness of the two witnesses and miss what they had to do, here come the time where now Satan is going to be judged. And what God does? God locks up every foul demon spirit to give these people one more chance for salvation. And guess what? They receive it because they refuse to accept the mark of the beast. And in Revelation 15 uh 2 and three, we see that they have the they're mingled with fire. That means these people were saved through through hell, through trials. And and those who have the victory over the beast, over his image, and over his mark and over the number of his name. They're standing on this sea of glass, which is around the temple or outside of the court. They are given harps so that they can worship God. The Jews sing the song of Moses, a servant of God. The Christian sings the song of the lamb. And then on verse eight, the temple was filled with smoke from the glory of God and from his power. And no one was able to enter the temple till the seven plagues of the seven angels were completed. And we talked about last week about the mark of the beast and the 666, which is 666* 2 is 1,332 days. That's the whole period of time where the temple is vacated. In other words, there there's no um godly representative. That's the time of the antichrist. And then we said that the church was formed by the number 153. Songs of Elohim or children of life have a numerical value in Hebrew. The numerical value of 153. So these two here belong to that number 53 except they could not be saved until their strongholds were removed and now they're not able to enter into the temple. Why? Because 42 days have to take place where the plagues of the judgment of God come. So they are outside like on a sea of glass mingle with fire and that is where their judgment takes place. Remember the church has to go into a judgment of fire. Jes uh Paul says that all of us must appear before the judgment seat of Christ. The judgment seat of Christ is a a judgment of fire, but it's not of salvation because he says you you're going to go through this fire and and that you may lose everything, but you're still going to be saved even by the uh the the the skin of your thieves teeth that you don't have no skin there. But salvation is guaranteed in Jesus. But there had to be a a a a judgment because in heaven all of us are going to have a rank or a standing. And we're judged according to faith according to what we did with the salvation that God gave us. So when we died, before we're taken into the temple of God, we go into this labor where we're judged. And the judgment comes and and basically the question is going to be, did you build silver uh uh silver, gold, or precious stone? Or do you build with wood, hay, and stubble? Because it's fire. The fire is going to judge you. Everything you did with a good heart, with a good motive, and you did it for the Lord, all of that is going to survive. Jesus said you cannot give a cup of water to somebody in my name that you will not receive a reward for it. But everything you did for self vanity, you wanted to be the preacher, you wanted to be the double and and and it it was because of self that is wood s the fire is going to burn it. So we get our rankings at that time. Well, we saw that when the 144,000 uh were raised up along with the two witnesses and the people from the first half, they also had to appear before a fire to receive the rewards of the prophets and of the servants and of the different people that were there. Well, it's the same thing with these people. Now, they're going before this this sea uh that is mingle with fire and they're going to receive the uh uh their reward. Okay. Then um let me see where were we at. Okay, we're on Revelation 15. Now let's move to um uh Revelation 14. I want to get to the New Jerusalem. So I'm kind of rushing a little bit. Revelation 14:17-20. Revelation 14:17, 18, 19, 20. Then another angel came out of the temple which is in heaven. He also having a sharp sickle. And another angel came out of the altar who had power over the fire. And he cried out with a loud voice to him who had the sharp sickle, saying, "Trust in your sharp sicle, and gather the clusters of the vine of the earth, for the grapes are fully ripe." So the angel thrust his sickle into the earth and gathered the vine of the earth and threw threw it into the grain wine presses of the wrath of God. And the wine press was trampled outside the city and blood came out of the wine presses up to the horses bridles for 1,600 furongs. Now you see that this is the final judgment. At the end of the 1,290 days, he comes with a sickle first and reaps everybody that has not taken the mark of the beast, they're taken to the outside of the temple where there's a sea of glasses mingled with fire and that's where they do their judgment. They cannot go into the temple until this last plague is done. Then God says, "Now the angel takes the same sickle and is going to gather everybody that has the mark of the beast to a place where they're going to be judged." Now, we know that this is going to take place in Jerusalem. Once the antichrist takes complete power and he has all of the nations of the world under his control, his number one job is to keep Jesus from coming back down into the temple. So 200 million men said that will come from the east. The river Euphrates is right up. He's going to have armies march the what is called Israel today, the Judeian hills. That place is going to be filled with millions of soldier covering every square inch of the earth at that time and their job is going to be to prevent Jesus from coming down. Now we know that uh uh he's going to come through the eastern gate and so today because uh any Jewish high priest would defile himself if he would walk on a cemetery. So the Muslims had put a huge cemetery in front of the east gate. They blocked the gate three 400 years ago to keep this uh prophecy from being fulfilled. And then they put a huge cemetery and they've been burying people there for 800 900 years because they know that when Jesus come they're trying to stop him. So this is the idea here. the antichrist is going to bring everybody into there. And then as we will read later when Jesus comes down just the word that he speaks is going to happen that everybody I don't know how they're going to do it but it says the blood is going to fall down roll down those hills up to a horse's bridal. So you got to have a great amount of people all bleeding at the same time. And so the only thing that I can imagine is your jugular is God when he just sends word just like the angel of death or something and it happens and they are they are all destroyed. Everybody except for the antichrist and the false prophet who are taken alive. But I want to give you an insight into what the judgments of God are. Go to Revelation 16 and then this is where where the the judgment is going to happen to them. And I want to give you an insight into how this judgment goes. Revelation 16 verse one. Then I heard a loud voice from the temple saying to the seven angels, go and pour out the bowls of the wrath of God on the earth. Now this is going to complete the judgment of God. Verse two, the first uh angel went and poured out his bow upon the earth, and a power and losome sword came upon the man who had the mark of the beast and those who worship his image. Now, let me give you the insight here. In Bible days, leprosy was a type of sin. If you remember the woman that had the issue of blood, she was unclean. She couldn't come to Jesus. Any person who had any type of skin disease, uh, leprosy was considered unclean. As a matter of fact, the person who had that disease as he was walking, wherever he was walking, had to cry out real loud when anybody was around, unclean, unclean, so that people would stay as far away from them as possible. This is why the the lepous guy uh uh Jesus went and touched him. He violated every rule that you could think of as a high priest. He was contaminating himself. But you see Jesus, he he he uh he's the antidote. You know, when when the woman, they were bringing the widow's son and everybody was crying. He was going into the I think it was um Mahanea. He was going into the the town and he wouldn't have been able to minister in the Sabbath place in in in the synagogue in the Sabbath place by touching a dead body. As a matter of fact, every priest on the town there could not be involved. Uh the law only allow for either the husband of the wife or the father or a brother if a child or if a woman died to be touched by a male because a male will be uh uh unclean. So the law allowed the the the the man of the house to do this and so that um uh he would be unclean for a week or two whatever the period of cleansing was. So this woman being a widow that means she didn't have a husband that means that there was nobody in the town that was take willing to take and defile themsself by wrapping up the dead body of her son. You have to see this. Jesus comes in, sees the multitude coming out. They're all crying and weeping. Here's this woman that probably had to have another woman or somebody else get involved and inbalm in the body. And Jesus goes up in there and reaches and touches the boy. You see, if that boy doesn't come back to life, Jesus cannot meditate anymore until he goes through the purification ritual according to the law of Moses. And this is what we have to see. the the the God is willing to touch no matter how contaminated we are to bring it. But something different has happened here. When you receive the mark of the beast, you get this sword which smells as leprosy. And so that is an incurable disease because watch what it says here. Uh it says that when the uh uh this came uh the the sword came so the people let me read from you Leviticus 13 4 and 5. Leviticus 13:4 and5 says then the priest shall isolate the one who has the sword for seven days and the priest shall examine him on the seventh day. And this is what this is a type of the first uh bowl is poured out on humankind. All of the people had the mark of the beast now have leprosy sword the smell and God waits seven days. See after seven days God the priest would come in to see the condition of the sword. Then what happening over here is because they have received the mark of the vast. Let me give you a secret. During this time that just started guess what's going on? We are being married to the lamb during this time. See the the whole church had to wait until be completed. Had to wait until the church until low until since the end of the 1290 days. All of the saints are finally up. We are being married to the lamb of God. We're becoming one with Jesus. He's becoming our husband and we are the bride of Christ. Guess what? All of the people that accepts the mark of the beast are now the bride of Satan. And they are now becoming the bride of Satan. This is why there's no wiggle room over here. So, while we're up there in heaven, these people are now receiving the judgment. Now, bowl number two in Revelation 16:3. Then the second angel poured out his bowl on the sea, and it became blood as of a dead man, and every living creature in the sea died. Now, here uh it talking about the contamination of the blood. Remember the Bible says that the life is in the blood. These people now have the blood of a dead man. They have the blood of Satan. Basically, they have become one with Satan. So, the seven days pass and other seven days pass. Revelation um uh 16:4-7. Then the third angel poured out his bowl on the rivers and the springs of waters. They became blood. And I heard the angel of the waters saying, "You are righteous, O Lord, the one who is and who was and who is to come, because you have judged these things, for they have shed the blood of saints and prophets, and you have given them blood to drink, for it is their just due." And I heard another uh from the altar say, "Even so, Lord God Almighty, true and righteous are your judgment." Now see how everything it relates to the sore and to the blood and to become in the blood. What what give life to the body to the physical body is blood. You cannot live without blood. You need a certain amount of blood. When Jesus Christ hung on the cross okay because the Bible says the flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God. When Jesus Christ hung on a cross, he was bleeding from the crown of his head because of the thorns that they were driven into his uh face. He was bleeding from his face because he was struck. They hit him on the face. He was uh bleeding from the face. They pulled his beard. He was bleeding from the back because they hit him with 39 lashes that tore uh his back and his shoulder. He was bleeding from his wrist where he was nailed to the cross. He was bleeding from his feet where where he was nailed to the cross. And finally they they took a lance a spear and they pierced his side to where water and blood just flushed out from him. The body of Jesus when he was in the cross was drained of the blood. The Bible tells us that through the eternal spirit that's the Holy Spirit that blood was cut. the life that was in the blood, not the blood itself because the life was in the blood. The spirit of a man is in the is in the blood. So that that life is what was taken up to heaven by the Holy Spirit and it was taken to the ark of the covenant and he was anointing the mercy seat on the ark of the covenant. So when Jesus rose up and went to heaven, the life that Jesus had his new body, because flesh, remember Jesus went up to to Thomas, it says, "Touch me. I'm not a ghost. I have flesh and I have bones." You see, flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, but flesh and bones will. So the question is, what power the the body of Jesus Christ? That's the word of God, the light, the energy. The word of God is lifegiving energy. Hebrews 4:12, for the word of God is alive and powerful. That means the word of God is lifegiving energy. The word became life. And that life is what gives us now life. When we go to heaven, when people think that when you go in the rapture, you don't die. I got news for you. I experienced the rapture. I have it on the beginning of the book there. And when you see Jesus in his holiness in this corrupted body, believe me, you die. Your body shakes and trembles when when Isaiah said, "So the glory of the Lord says, "Oh, oh wo, it's me. I'm undone." That's exactly what happens to your body. Your physical body, the blood that is in it just falls apart continuously. But immediately we're transformed because the spirit man which is connected to the holy spirit because the bible says that the spirit the holy spirit is like a deposit that is in our spirit and when Jesus come that holy spirit that is in us as a deposit shines forth like a light like a bright light and that's what energizes a new body that's what causes the body to become alive and energized. The blood we don't have except for the blood, hallelujah, that is on the ark that speaks of the life of God. That is the energy out of here. And there was a light that would shine all the way through the through through the through the temple. That's called the shakina glory. The visible light of the glory of God. Okay. That blood now is what gives us life. Okay. Now these people who are dead, what is it that is giving them death? the blood, the blood of the saints, the blood of the martyrs, the corrupted blood, the file blood. So you can see the opposite. While we are in heaven being married to the lamb, we don't have blood in us. Our bodies, physical bodies is going to have the life of the energy of the spirit. These people are dead. They're in corrupted polluted blood. Then he goes on to the fourth bowl. Revelation 16 verse 8 and 9. And we read there uh then the fourth angel poured out his bowl on the sun and power was given to him to scorch men with fire and men were scorched with great heat and they blasphemed the name of God who has power over these plagues and they did not repent and give him glory. So why is it that the sun is turning out on all these people? Well, guess what? at the root of all idol worship. It's called Baal worship or sun worship. All of the the people that have worshiped the sun for all of these years are now being judged by the sun. It's it's tremendous heat. It's scorches that they blasphe God. Okay. Move on to the Revelation 16:10. The fifth bowl. Then the fifth angel poured out his ball on the throne of the beast and his kingdom became full of darkness and they know their tongues because of the pain. They blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores and did not repent of their sin. So this is the the continued judgment. Notice that bright darkness. Now what I believe is taking place here. I'll just take a little side trip here. Is uh when when uh Noah's flood took place, the earth was a total and complete different earth that we have today. I believe that um that during the days of Noah, this is why people live 960 years and and those lifespan. Most of the water that we have on the earth today was around the earth. It was like a huge canopy of water. So the earth was like a greenhouse. We had this thick band. Uh Job speaks about it. Swaddling band it's called. And it was clear. So you could see light. You could see it. I believe that this is how the ancients knew the stars. See the stars even though they're very very far away. The water if you put water in a glass it magnifies things. I believe that this water canopy that was over the earth allowed the stars to be view a lot closer. So like a huge magnifying like a huge glass. So that's why they could see the constellation and they they could read what the constellations meant because a constellation from Virgo that speaks about the virgin birth all the way to Leo which talks about Jesus the the lion of the tribe of Judah coming at the end. That's why they could see all of that. This is why they could also uh we know that the Peruvian peoples they uh in and and in in the hills they drove animals that were so far apart that from the earth you cannot even see it that was there. You have to go in a plane very high to see them. Well, they could do that because probably this water canopy uh before the days of Noah reflected. You could actually if the angle was just right, it became like a mirror when the light is shining at an angle and you could see actually the earth where you was. And I think that this is how a lot of these people did that and knew that certain lakes look like a rabbit. Uh there's a lake there that if you look at it from out of space looks like the head of a rabbit. And guess what the name meant on the original uh name? A rabbit. How could these people know that this lake look like a rabbit when the only way that you could see it not even from a plane you had to go almost into outer space? Well, I believe that this was the case. Okay. when uh uh the flood of Noah says that the springs of the of the deep were broken that means the seams of the earth. Okay. When that was open since the earth is is fire on the inside was melted a lot of heat reach out which caused the water to condense and fall into the earth. This is what happened in the days of Noah. Now when since the earth at that time had very few mountains maybe 2,000 3,000 feet highest. Okay. So this water all fell down on the earth in 40 days.

- FULLY PERSUADED IN YOUR MIND | House of Faith Ministries (HoFM)
FULLY PERSUADED IN YOUR MIND Written Teaching Minister Lisa Kane March 1, 2025 Objective The objective of this teaching is to encourage believers to develop a strong, unwavering faith rooted in God’s Word and to be fully persuaded in their minds concerning the truth of Scripture. It aims to show that while Christians may differ in personal convictions and levels of faith, we are called not to judge one another but to walk in love, humility, and prayer. By anchoring our thoughts and beliefs in God’s Word, we can overcome fear, grow spiritually, and live confidently in alignment with His will. Synopsis This teaching, based on Romans 14, explores what it means to be fully persuaded in your mind. It emphasizes that faith is both a heart and a mind issue, requiring believers to be confident and assured in what they believe, while also showing grace to others whose faith may be stronger or weaker in different areas. Examples from Scripture and real life—such as differing convictions about food, holy days, or health—illustrate how personal persuasion shapes behavior and outcomes. The message warns against judging others for their level of faith or their practices, reminding listeners that each believer ultimately belongs to the Lord and will give an account to Him. At its core, the teaching calls Christians to maturity: to hold firmly to their own convictions while respecting the journey of others, to pray rather than condemn, and to allow God to unify and strengthen His people. By being fully persuaded in our minds, we align our thoughts with God’s truth, experience greater peace, and live out our faith with confidence and love. Written and/or Transcribed Teaching from Video Hello and welcome to the House of Faith Ministries. I'm Lisa Kaine and I'm recording this message on March 1st, 2025. Welcome. Let's open up in a word of prayer. Father God, we thank you for your word. We bless your word that it does not return void. Thank you, Father God, for teaching us how to have faith and to te trust in your word and to know it in our mind to be fully persuaded by your word in the name of Jesus. To be confident in your strength and in what you can do, Father God, in the name of Jesus. Amen. Amen. Welcome. So glad you can join us now. Thank you for all of the kind words and support, prayer uh for as we grieve uh for the loss of my mom. Thank you guys for being with us. Uh the the flowers, the plants, and especially the prayers. Thank you. We really needed it. So, we are going to resume and I'm going to move forward with this new teaching. It is called Fully Persuaded in Your Mind. So let's go to our opening scripture. Romans 14:5. Uh, one man esteemth or decide one day above another, another esteemth every day alike. Let every man be fully persuaded, completely assured in his own mind or intellect understanding. So when you look and see when I teach, you see the word in bold there. That word is the original word in the King James version that the the translators used when they translated from the original language into King James. When I put the word in parenthesis after it after it, it is another word that could have been used as a translation or I could add a lot more words just kind of give you full flavor of what we're looking at. So here, let's read that again. One man esteemth one day above another, another esteemth every day alike, and let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind. So being fully persuaded in our own mind is what we're going to be talking about. We will be focusing here in Romans 14. And uh I want to my goal here is to teach you your faith that you can have in your mind as to what you stand for without judging others. Meaning, if you see them a little weaker than what you are, then let's not judge them. And if you think somebody is stronger than you are, then maybe that's the Holy Spirit speaking to you on what you can do with your faith. So, let's start here in Romans 14. We're going to start in verse one. Him that is weak. That word weak there uh could also mean feeble, disease, sick in the faith. Pause. weak in the faith. How many people, you know, I I consider myself a very strong person in faith. Uh but I see that there are others that are not. They're just not that strong. Um and I'll see pastors, preachers, you know, when COVID came about, I was like, "That thing ain't touching me." By the way, it did touch me. But after three rough days, the Lord, I mean, it was almost like it was instantly cleared. So, we're something it is it when you're dealing with uh sicknesses, it is a spiritual battle you're dealing with. But anyways, so I've seen preachers who are afraid of a sickness or disease. Not remembering Psalm 91 that a thousand would die to your left, 10,000 to your right. It won't touch you. But see, we walk in this fear and so we get weak in our mind. And this is what this chapter is talking about where it it's measuring all of us out comparatively to one another. It's interesting. Let's look at this. Says him that is weak in the faith receive ye but not to doubtful disputation. And so for example, uh it was a preacher I heard one time talking about being fearful of sicknesses and diseases and is a strong uh man of God in my personal opinion. And to find him at this level thinking that I I thought this was odd. Where's his faith? Because I know he has it and yet he didn't in that area. So now we have another component here. So, some of us could be very strong in some areas and some of us weaker in other areas. So, we're going to be talking about our mind in comparison and how to receive this person. So, when I saw that pastor weak in that area, what was my first reaction? One, I prayed for him. And two, I I I continue to listen to him. Why? because he's a good teacher of the word of God. You know, just because he's weak in that area doesn't mean I just need to shuck him out the window and be done. No. See, this is where we need to get a mindset that's a little different for um right now, Gathered 2025 is going on while I'm recording this here on March 1st. It started last night for those of you who have been watching and it's been um a round the world event of Christians. So, I watched a bit of it at my church last night and a gentleman came out, um, Mark Comr or something like that. But as he he starts speaking and and I'm looking at him and he's young, he's from Southern California. And so all of my judgment comes up and I said, "No, because here he is a man trying to teach the word of God." So again, I prayed for him. Does that mean I reject him? No. Now, if he was teaching something against what the Bible says, that's a different matter. But to we judge and that's what we do. We judge ourselves and measure us against all of these others. So, how do we deal with that? So, here he's saying, for one, verse two, for one believeth or have faith that he may eat all things, another who is weak eateth herbs. Oh my goodness, this is very interesting. So there's a culture back in the day of Paul and what it was is that the meat market would cut up the meat but they would take it to the temple and sacrifice it to the temple there. And so there are a lot of people are like you can't eat that meat. It was sacrificed to all these false gods. So Paul had to come in and talk about that and say, you know what, um he he tried he he wanted us all to know that we can be equal. And if there's a weak person in that area who is not believing to be able to eat that food, then you know he's saying you don't eat the food with him. You bring your measure to his level. This way you guys are on equal playing field. This way that person doesn't feel lost, rejected or maybe in a hypocritical type of situation. So here now what he's saying is okay I don't want you to receive these people to doubtful disputations. See there are different levels of faith. So some believe absolutely in vegetarianism. They only want to eat the herbs of the earth. They don't want to have any meats. But we see all kinds of fads and phenomenons that go on about food and diet and diet restrictions. Uh some people are like, "I just can't eat that. That will upset my stomach." Because in their mind they believe that to be true. What if that true that you believe the truth you believe can be overcome and changed? That's a very interesting question. Paul talks about it more detail. Let's let him continue and get it from the word of God. We're in verse three. Let not him that eateth despise him that eateth not. And let not him which eateth not judge, distinguish, or decide him that eateth. for God hath received him. He's taking that. He's taking both of you to himself. So, he's telling you, the reader, let's say you're the side that is strong on the meat side versus the vegetarian side. He's telling you, "Hey, don't judge him and reject him for what he's doing because I'm going to receive him to myself just like I receive you to myself." And you're sitting here like, "Wait a second here." Um wait what that that's so in other words uh Paul is saying there's an equality here in the end when we come into the presence of the Lord the Lord is going to bring us all to himself. We're going to see that here very shortly. Verse four. Who art thou that judges another man's servant? I want to pause there too. Servant. That person who's eating vegetarian is a servant of God. Well, you know, they may not be a believer today, let's say, and maybe they're rejecting God today. However, God has his eyes on him. He says, "I'm going to bring them to myself one day." So, yes, God has his vessels made, and that is not for us to to judge or condemn. He's telling us, you're to receive him as if he's work as servant for God, who he's going to receive for himself. This is where we start to mature up in our Christian walk because we're beginning to realize it doesn't matter because it all has to do with where we are in the mind. Now, I've done a teaching on the mind and I've done um and it's called the mind and you can go search for it and it deals with overcoming and working through the mind. Now this is just showing you what you believe in and how not to judge with others. So but being fully persuaded in your mind. See you might be fully persuaded I got to have meat if I don't have meat. Well let's use another analogy here I think is very applicable. Look at how many denominations there are in the Christian faith. Now you have Catholicism which takes they claim leadership as the Christian faith. So they take that. So then you have all of these subdivisions which is a denomination which is Assemblies of God, Calvary Chapel, Baptist, Lutheran, Methodist and so on. There are a lot. Which ones are right and which ones are wrong? You see, a Methodist will be fully persuaded in his mind, these are the commandments I need to follow. These came from scripture. This is what I stand on. The Baptist will be saying the same thing. And here's what the world is hearing though, and I really want you to catch this because I've talked about this in other teachings. The world hears, well, which one is right or wrong? And if you're standing there saying, hey, I got the best ones. you. I will make sure you get to heaven through through our denomination. Now, is that correct? Do we have the right to judge or condemn that? No. Because God is going to bring them to himself anyways. Which means the Holy Spirit is working in their lives. Let's continue on. And I said, "So who so and he's asking us, who are thou to judge another man's service? Who are you?" I mean, let let's come down to what do we believe in in our mind? And is it fully correct and right? This should be a great example for us to look at ourselves here because we may believe it to be true, but that doesn't mean it was true or accurate. Imagine being taught all these years, raised in a church, raised in a school, and they gave you all this information, and then you come back and you find out later about somebody or something that wasn't the way you were taught, which way is right. This is when you have to go to the Holy Spirit. This is when you have to say, "Okay, I need help, Lord, because I don't know who to believe in anymore. I don't know. I I had my trust in this. This was my truth. This was my foundation. This is what I believe in. He believes something different. Is it right? Is it wrong? What this ought to do to each and every one of us is convince us to go into the word and look at it more thoroughly and to ask the Holy Spirit, ask God, help us to understand this because yeah, who are we? We're definitely not the creator. And if you're somebody who thinks you've written so uh a study Bible even or you've done deep teachings, you don't know everything. And that's okay. Hey, none of us know everything. This is why who are we to judge? We shouldn't be judging. We should be accepting and just try to maintain the peace, which is what a Christian ought to be doing. So to his own master he standeth or falleth. You see, when we stand before God in our walk, some of us are going to fall, some of us are going to fail, but we get back up and we stand before Christ. Then there's some of us who it may take a lot longer to fall, but either way, we all have fallen short of the glory of God. We all have messed up, not just to people in our lives around in the world, but to our father in heaven. And that is when we have to come to realize, yeah, who am I? Should I be judging? No, I'm just a human little being with God living in my heart. Amen. And I should just be trusting in him. Which then comes back to what I've been standing on for years now. Pray for them and pray for yourself. Amen. Hallelujah. So he says to his own master he standeth their folly. Yeah. He shall be whole enough for God is able to make him stand. Did you see that? God is able to take care of them. So when you partner with God, because that's what Christianity is all about. You having a relationship with God, you start reading these scriptures and you start working in and diving in and you start finding out how can I deal with this, Lord? How can I fix this? What can be done? And he says start with you and pray for him or her. And this way God heals the differences between us. That's what this whole chapter is about is bringing a healing in. But realize who the healing is coming from. God. So it mean it means we have to humble ourselves to God. I I mean seriously uh I don't have all the answers. You know, our teaching here is a supplemental teaching for you to get from what you already get from your pastor in your own church and who you follow and listen to. We're hoping that by teaching you the word of God in depth uh from the perspective that the Lord has revealed to us that it would just open your eyes a little bit more. You see, you know a part, I know a part. And when we put our two parts together, we know a bigger part. We still don't know the full picture, though. So back to our opening scripture in verse five, one man decides one day above another, another esteemth every day alike. What that simply means is let's say today's my birthday. It's not, but I make today a good day because it's my birthday. Whereas another person, it doesn't care what holidays, what birthdays come up every day is the same for him or her. So he's saying whatever day he says let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind. So if somebody doesn't want to celebrate birthdays, let them. If somebody doesn't want to celebrate holidays, let them. That's between them and God and they're fully persuaded. Another way to look at this, another analogy that I think is is very applicable is what do you believe in in the the sense, you know, like uh let's use the Hispanic culture, the Mexican culture to be more specific. They strong they strongly believe that when you go from a cold atmosphere to a hot atmosphere, you're going to get sick. And they do every time because they believe it. You know, there was a man who uh this was years ago in the news, and I don't have all the details, maybe you can Google it, but he he uh purposely went into the Arctic Ocean and swam there for 30 minutes. He did a mind over matter where his core temperature would not drop and it didn't and he was perfectly fine when he got out of it. There's a lot of people who teach on uh cold water immersion theories or whatever, but yet the Hispanic culture, excuse me, the Mexican culture, they're the ones who are absolutely saying, "No, no, you're going to get sick because that's what they believe in." But then you look at both and both are true. You'll see that happen with the Mexicans. They get sick. I used to work with several and when it got hot to cold back to hot, they always got sick because that's what they believed in. And yet you can have a mind over matter in a s because our mind is made this way. Think of it like this another analogy. There's a car accident and somebody's pinned and you know, hey, if I can just lift this vehicle up, they can get out of from being pinned. And so you just go and do it and you just can't figure out how you couldn't do it because you were in the heat of the moment. The adrenaline was flying or flowing through your body and you just knew that if you can lift that car and you did it like the woman with the issue of blood. She just knew that she can touch the hem of Jesus garment she would be healed. And he said your faith made you whole. This is being fully persuaded in your mind. Your mind is what's going to make a reality of your physical body. If you believe in veganism, you believe in eating all meat, you you believe, you will fall under the construct of that belief, whatever it may be. But if you're one of those who I'm not going to get sick, you won't get sick. Now, there are other things that go around on all of this, but where your mind is, you need to be fully persuaded in your mind. Read that again. Verse five. Oh, I already moved on. I'll go back. I think it's worth it. Let's go back. Says, "One man esteemth one day above another, another esteemth every day alike. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind." So when you take the scriptures and you want to believe in them, have the faith to believe them in them and ask God to help you with your unbelief. The centurion asked God one time to help him with his unbelief. That's how God works. And he's going to get you fully persuaded in your mind. You know, when I stepped away from all of the diabetic drugs and all that stuff before we moved here to Missouri, I taught on this. uh shared it before in other teachings. There were videos I was watching of all the stuff the Lord was bringing across my my social media feed um books with titles and I would read and I would be like wait a second is this true what the doctors are saying or not. So talking about cholesterol used to be that number 300 was good. I range about 236 but they wanted me under 200. Then they wanted me under 190, but then there's that side effect of dementia or Alzheimer's and then you find out your brain needs a coding of cholesterol. Anyways, as you go through the process of realizing the truth, you become fully persuaded in your mind. And that's exactly what happened to me. I'm being fully persuaded that no, those drugs are not for me. That's how God works in us. So to get out of it, you've got to go through your process so that you can walk in your faith and be fully persuaded. Verse six, he that regardeth which is exercising the mind or you're having an opinion which is my opinion is I don't agree with the cholesterol drugs because I've seen the other side and I know what it was doing to my own body and I would get dizzy from it and it was like no I and then they would tell me well you just can't stop taking and I'd be like well I did and I'm fine in fact I feel better now than I ever did because I became fully persuaded in my mind and there was nothing they can do to convince me otherwise. And by the way, I'm still feeling the best I've ever felt. Hallelujah. Thank you, Jesus, for my healing. So, exercise my have an opinion the day. So, he that regarded that day regarded it unto the Lord. And he that regardeth not the day to the Lord, he didn't regard it to the Lord. He that eateth eateth to the Lord, for he giveth God thanks. And he that eateth not to the Lord, he eateth not and giveth God thanks. For none of us liveth to himself, and no man dieth to himself. So see when let's say blessing your food. I am a big big person on blessing food. I believe you got to bless the food. And to do it, by the way, to get myself into that new habit, it took some effort. There were days, I mean, I wrote notes, big notes, put it on my plate of food or right in front of it, mind me, bless the food because I had to learn a new habit because I did not grow up blessing the food. And I wanted to bless all my food because I believe that if I ate it and it was blessed, it's going to go through my stomach like it's supposed to. That's I'm fully persuaded by that. But look, there are many who don't bless their food and nothing happens to them because it hasn't come across that and and you haven't you know you're fine. Who am I to judge that person or who are you to judge me in blessing the food? And I'm telling you there were days I spit the food out because I realized I didn't pray. Had I seen this scripture, my my whole eating would be totally different. But you see, we live and we die to what we believe in. If you believe the doctors, you were given a bad um you know, my mom was given a cancer uh that she had cancer and here she just passed away. I have to wonder, had she just believed, see, who am I? Who am I? But I know that God is in control and that God took care of my mom and I know that he met her needs and that she was comforted. And you know what? She's home with him now. She's not suffering. Praise the Lord. Amen. Verse eight. For whether we live, we live unto the Lord. And whether we die, we die unto the Lord. Whether we live, therefore, or die, we are the Lords. One of the things that really got me more onto this side was when Hamas had attacked Israel and the church I'm attending right now, they had a meeting, uh, a prayer meeting. We all met to pray. And there I am, very excited. Pray for Israel. Woohoo. and they wanted to pray for the terrorists, the Hamas terrorists. And I was like, and I've already taught on that before, but I remember coming home being convicted by the Holy Spirit. And it the thing that got me, God clearly telling me, I love them just as much as I love you. So, we are the Lord's, even the evil ones. Verse nine, for to this end Christ both died and rose and revived that he might be Lord both of the dead and the living. How many of us are walking dead on this earth? Because we don't believe. And how many of us are walking alive in this world? Because we do believe. We all belong to the Lord. Verse 10. But why thou judge thy brother? Why thou said and not thy brother? For we shall all stand before the judgment or the bema tribunal seat of Christ. For it is written, as I live, sayeth the Lord, every knee shall bow or bend to me, and every tongue shall confess, agree fully to God. That is where it all comes out. That is the conclusion of the matter. It comes down to we belong to the Lord. We're all going to bow down to the Lord. We have to go through Christ. He says, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No man comes to the father except through me. But if you decide not to do that, you're still going to bow because everybody bows before the Lord. Everybody is going to convince uh confess Jesus as Lord because that's the scriptures been prophesied. Verse 12. So then every one of us shall give an account of himself to God. Let us not therefore judge one another anymore, but judge this rather that no man put a stumbling block or an occasion to fall in his brother's way. I do not want anyone to trip or fail because of anything I say or believe. And I am hoping that you understand that when I teach something, I am teaching from faith that the Lord has revealed to me and I stand in that and I am blessed by that because I am fully persuaded by that in my mind. I do encourage you to get into the presence of the Lord and find out more about him and become fully persuaded as well because that is who our God is. He wants us to believe and believe to the full maturation of his word to that uh word to magnify and come out of us absolutely and totally so that in 1 John 5:20 and we know we're aware that the son of God has come and hath given us an understanding deep thought that we may know absolutely know him that is true and we are in him that is true even in his son Jesus Christ. This is the true God and eternal life. And this is what I'm encourage encouraging everybody to do. Get right with God. Stand with him. And his teaching is let's not judge the others, but let's pray for them. And imagine taking your prayer life to a whole new level with Christ because he's calling you to do that so that you love them just as much as he loves them and you love yourself just as much as he loves you. Amen. Let's close in a word of prayer. Father God, we thank you for your word and we bless your word, that your word does not return void. And I pray that in our hearts and minds that we decide to put that judgment aside and that we decide to pray for others, that we decide to pray for ourselves, that we decide to open the door for you to come in and change the way we think and do things. That you come in and that you make us help us understand that your word is true. make us help us understand. You know what I'm trying to say, Father God. And I thank you for what you're doing in our hearts and in our minds, helping us to stand strong in your faith and not uh hurt anyone or put a stumbling block in anyone, but that we are there fully persuaded that you are our God and whatever we do, we do in your name. Thank you, Lord. In Jesus name we pray. Amen. Amen. Amen. God bless you and I will see you in the next message. Home Watch the Video Teaching

- THE CONFORMED DOES NOT TRANSFORM | House of Faith Ministries (HoFM)
THE CONFORMED DOES NOT TRANSFORM To reveal the dangers of conforming to the present world system, expose how the manipulation of information undermines moral reasoning, and call believers to renew their minds through God’s Word so they may live transformed lives in alignment with His perfect will. THE CONFORMED DOES NOT TRANSFORM Pastor Marcos Marrero Objective: To reveal the dangers of conforming to the present world system, expose how the manipulation of information undermines moral reasoning, and call believers to renew their minds through God’s Word so they may live transformed lives in alignment with His perfect will. Synopsis: This teaching begins with Paul’s admonition in Romans 12:2, contrasting conformity to the world with transformation through the renewing of the mind. The author observes that modern society, particularly in America, suffers from contradictions and irrational behavior—not due to a lack of knowledge, but because of a deep spiritual problem. While past generations developed moral values through family, faith, and community experience, today’s culture is artificially manufactured through centralized control of information and media. The rise of global information systems and ideologies such as socialism has eroded individuality and encouraged a herd mentality. This manufactured culture disconnects people from heritage, reason, and truth, conditioning them to accept shifting standards of morality and knowledge as absolute. Yet, unlike the fleeting and unreliable wisdom of man, the Word of God remains unchanged and trustworthy across all generations. The message emphasizes that transformation requires rejecting the false narratives of this age and choosing the eternal truth of Scripture. By renewing the mind in God’s Word, believers can escape the deception of conformity, discern rightly, and prove what is good, acceptable, and perfect in God’s will. Ultimately, the teaching warns against the peril of blind conformity and exhorts believers to hold fast to the unshakable truth of God’s Word in preparation for the return of Christ. Inspired Teaching: Romans 12:2 “And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.” If you ask any reasonable person today to explain the disconnect that so many have with reality, they would be hard pressed to explain it, for truly everything that is going on today in all levels of society does not make any sense whatsoever. Here in the US for example, polls tell us that a majority of Americans want to get rid of their elected officials at any given time, yet every two years we have elections, and by a margin of over ninety percent the same incumbents get reelected, how do you explain that? A majority here complain that the government is too big, and that its spending is out of control, and that for the money they get from us we are not well served by our government. Yet a majority always complains when efforts are made to reduce the government and the power that it now has to control every aspect of our lives. How do we explain such contradictions? The world at large and the United States in particular, do not have a physical problem, and by that I mean that we do not lack the ability to receive information and the knowledge that allows us to make sense of what is going on all around us if we are rational, but we are not. In reality what we are facing is a spiritual problem! Some will say that we have lost our moral compass, and we have, but that is not the root of it, for there has always been immoral behavior in every nation that ever existed, including the US. In our opening text, the relationship is made between our ability to reason, the renewing of our minds, and our conforming to this world system. The more that we become one with our present world system, the less capable that we are in making sound judgments that are based in simple human reasoning; that is the point of our opening text. What is the difference then, between our present day generation and past generations that knew exactly what it was that was required of them? The dissemination of information! In the past, our world was a limited world, the rules that governed the areas where people lived back then, had been developed through generations of families that through trial and error had developed the moral concepts that they handed down to their children, good or bad, but that only applied to the very specific areas where they lived. So that there was back then a diversity of thought and many different applications of faith, that allowed reasonable people to make a determination as to whether what they believed was right or wrong based on the behavior of others when compared to their own, and with it the ability to improve their belief system where it was needed. So that there was not a worldwide uniform code that compelled others to conform to a narrow standard of moral thinking. Daniel 12:4 “But you, Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book until the time of the end; many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall increase.” The dawn of the twentieth century was a pivotal point for all mankind, for with the industrial revolution came the reality that, knowledge shall increase, and those early visionaries did not want the Gospel of Jesus Christ to be the standard by which the world became one. For in the Gospel of Jesus Christ, individuals are free to choose for themselves and their families the kind of world, or community, they wanted to be a part of, for they were given individual rights to life and liberty and for the pursuit of happiness from their Creator Himself. Socialism, however, offered a better system for those whose aim was always to rule the world, for socialism debases the individual for the sake of empowering the state. The culture of today is not our grandfather’s culture. It did not evolve out of individual societies that through trial and error had chosen to pass to their children in what they thought would be the best for them, what they commonly called, the moral values of their faith. The culture of today has been manufactured by those illuminated ones who think of us humans as a commodity that they must somehow manage through force and coercion. But we humans present a different problem for their methods of how they manage the world through the herd mentality, for we have the ability to reason and the capacity for sound understanding. In the information age, he who controls the output of information, also controls the behavior of the herd. If what our children learn in school about culture today is the same thing that they learn at home through nationwide television shows that sometimes reach the entire world, before long, they lose the connection to their heritage that is not being portrayed on these shows, especially if they are able to relate more to the belief system of a fictional family on television than to their own heritage. And as we see these things played out in television shows that deal with relationships and morality, as well as in the news and in social media, as to what is good and who is bad being reinforced daily in every facet of our society, eventually our capacity to compare and to choose between the present system and something else that disappeared or has been disparaged, is lost. That is why society is where it is today, unable to make decisions that are based on sound judgment. But be transformed by the renewing of your mind! How can you choose if you have no choice? Information is presented today by this world wide information conglomerate, as if what they believe is right and what everybody else believes, or believed, is wrong, for they see themselves as the gate keepers of information. They ridicule anything and everything that does not conform to what they present as knowledge; knowledge that is biased and based on laughable theories. But we do have a choice. Next time when some know it all tells you what happened one billion years ago, ask him to show you the video, lol. Let me show you what is more real than any empirical evidence that you have ever witnessed: The end time prophecies found in the Word of God! For they are the pages of history written in advance for all to see. Isaiah 46:9-10 “Remember the former things of old, for I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is none like Me, declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times things that are not yet done, saying, ‘My counsel shall stand, and I will do all My pleasure.’” It is not until you say no to the nonsense of this world, for this world is passing away along with the knowledge it professes, and say yes to the eternal Word of God, that you will be able to renew your mind and finally find a real choice that is evidently clear. That you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God. Every time I see a contest between human knowledge and the wisdom of God, I cannot help but laugh. I picture in my mind natives aiming their primitive bows and shooting their arrows at a 747 airliner at 40,000 feet, trying hard to bring it down and I can almost hear them saying, Oh, shoot another arrow, you almost got it with the last one! I know that for some who might be reading this, because you have been fed so much bull that passed for knowledge all your life that it might be difficult for you to see it from my perspective. So let me run a little scenario pass you that might help you understand the preeminence of the Word of God in all things. I was born in 1947 and let’s say that someone gets all the curriculum that was used that year to graduate students from the highest places of learning back then. Let them study those books and pass all the tests. Will they get a diploma from those prestigious universities today? Of course not! What they learned back then is old knowledge today. Okay, let me ask you this, will the knowledge that all the graduates learned this year be up to date for future graduates, let’s say sixty six years from now? Of course not; new year, new books, new knowledge. Let me see if I get this right, they want me to put my trust in knowledge that by their own reasoning will not be trustworthy tomorrow? Now go and get a Bible that was printed in 1947, open it to Genesis 1:1 and read it. I do not know if out of the many Bibles that I own, if any of them was printed in 1947, but I can tell you this, Genesis 1:1 in those Bibles that were printed in 1947 read like this: In the Beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Get a Bible that was just printed and I guarantee you that it says the same thing, just as it will sixty six years from now in the Bibles that are yet to be printed, just like it read when Moses first wrote it 3500 years ago. Do you want to put your trust on fallible knowledge that is here today and gone tomorrow? Is this what you want your epithet to read: He trusted a fallacy, and what he knew came to naught? Life is a learning experience that has many twists and turns, but if we are not careful, the devil in his cunningness is able to rob humans of their God giving ability to reason properly and to make the right choices for their lives and their families lives, as we can see many today that simply do not have a clue. Don’t get caught up with this world that you end up conforming to it. For if you do, your mind will not be able to receive the transformation that allows you to think and reason as an individual. Matthew 24:38-39 “For as in the days before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, and did not know until the flood came and took them all away, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be.” Do not be hoodwinked by the present deception that is taking place all around us. Wise up! We are living in perilous times and the only thing that we can ever fully trust is the Word of God. Previous Next Home

- HEALING FOR THE BROKENHEARTED part 1 | House of Faith Ministries (HoFM)
HEALING FOR THE BROKENHEARTED part 1 Written Teaching Pastor Marcos Marrero July 1, 2004 Objective The objective of this teaching is to reveal how Jesus Christ restores the authority that was lost in the Garden of Eden and how that authority directly relates to healing the brokenhearted. By examining Scripture, the lesson seeks to expose Satan’s deceptive “programming” and “conditioning” that keep believers bound, and to equip Christians to walk in the fullness of Christ’s authority, free from rejection, fear, and destructive patterns. Synopsis This teaching explores the authority of Jesus Christ and how it brings healing to the brokenhearted. From the beginning, humanity was given dominion by God, but that authority was stolen by Satan through disobedience in the Garden of Eden. Jesus came to restore what was lost, granting believers the power to overcome every work of the enemy. The lesson highlights how religious leaders in Matthew 21 questioned Jesus’ authority, exposing a common tactic of Satan—causing people to doubt the authority of God’s Word. This same doubt weakens believers today, preventing them from walking in victory. Scripture makes clear that while Satan’s program is to steal, kill, and destroy, Jesus came to give abundant life. Yet many Christians remain bound because of Satan’s “programming” and “conditioning” in their hearts, whether through rejection, false teaching, generational patterns, or personal wounds. These hidden influences can produce double-mindedness, fear, and even self-destruction, blocking the flow of God’s blessings. Biblical examples such as Balaam and Balak (Revelation 2:14) show how compromise with false doctrine removes spiritual authority, while Paul’s warnings in 2 Timothy 3 remind us that not all who appear godly truly walk in God’s power. Ultimately, this teaching calls believers to recognize and break free from the enemy’s conditioning, to anchor their faith in the unshakable authority of Christ, and to receive the wholeness and peace Jesus provides. Written and/or Transcribed Teaching from Video We long for that day, dear Lord Jesus, when we'll finally meet you face to face and we'll be able to bow down before you, Father God, and personally give you h praise and glory for all that you have done for us. Thank you, Lord, in advance. Thank you for opening our ears to hear this morning. Thank you for granting us a heart that has understanding. Anoint your word this morning, Father God, that it may become food for our spirit, for our soul, and for our body. In Jesus name, I pray your blessing upon each and every person in this class this morning. Father, thank you for meeting every need of their heart. Father, in Jesus name we pray. Amen. Amen. Praise God. We're going to talk uh this morning in the concerning the authority of Jesus Christ, how it relates to healing of the broken heart. Our first lesson that we did, we dealt with the mechanics of what Jesus came to do. Jesus says, "I came to heal the brokenhearted." This is part of what Jesus came to do. That was lesson number one. In lesson number two, we dealt with the spirit of rejection. We found out that one of the tools that Satan uses the most against believers is rejection. And that goes all the way back to the garden when men was rejected because of his and her disobedient men and women disobeyed the word of God. Now today in this series of healing the brokenhearted or dealing with a broken heart, I want to focus into how Jesus uh uh has given us authority over all of the power of the enemy. And Satan uses everything that he can to keep us from exercising that authority. How many do you know that if you have authority to do something and that authority can be removed or taken from you then you you may have authority but it's no good to you if you cannot use it. I want to start with Matthew 21 verse 23. And I want you to see something from uh what happened to the children of Israel in Matthew 21:23. We read now when he Jesus came into the temple, the chief priests and the elders of the people confronted him as he was teaching and said, "By what authority are you doing these things? And who gave you these this authority?" Now notice that it's the chief priests and the elders of the people. Now we need to understand that the children of Israel were programmed as if it were all the way from the beginning of time to accept the Messiah. Last week when we're dealing with the spirit of rejection as men and women were being kicked out of the garden just from their disobedience to the word, God said to Eve, "Your seed will crush the head of the serpent." So, ever since that time, mankind has been waiting for the seed of the woman or a son of a woman that would come up and would become like Adam was, but instead of failing like Adam would crush or defeat the enemy, would have the authority of God because what was lost in the garden was authority. God said to Adam and Eve, I give you dominion. and Satan stole that dominion. Okay? So, God promised, "I will res restore dominion to man." So, here comes Jesus. And I want you to put this into perspective. We know from John chapter 3 that Jesus was doing things that only God could do. We know that Nicodemus came to Jesus by night. Why? Because he was afraid of the chief priests and the elders. He came by night. And he says, "Rabbi, nobody, nobody can do the things that you do unless God be with him. Nobody can make bones grow. Nobody can take open eyes and and h, you know, blind eyes and open. Nobody can do that unless God is with him." And I want you to see that the chief elders and the and the priests saw the same thing that Nicodemus saw. But what happened? They questioned the authority. Why did they question the authority? Because Satan was able to program them to question the God, the authority of God. How many of us when we see a move of the Holy Spirit, immediately we begin to question, I wonder if this is really God or not? I mean, have you been there? You see something taking place? That's the first thing that comes into our mind. And it's a good thing because we need to to judge. We need to make decisions. But we need to understand that this is at the root of the problem. Now look what happens if you go down to right there in Matthew 21:23. Go 20 verses later 43. Jesus says, "Therefore I say to you, the kingdom of God will be taken from you and given to a nation bearing the fruits of it." Now what happened? because they questioned the authority of the very person that God had promised them that he would send them. God says, "I can't use you. So, I'm going to remove you and I'm going to give that to somebody else, which is us." Now, the reason why I put this into prospect into perspective is because now we're in the same boat. What if we begin to question the authority of God? Will Jesus come and said the kingdom is taken from you and given to somebody else? And you see and today uh a religious leader chief elders question that all the time. They question whether God really created the heavens and the earth in six days. They go through long dissertations about how we evolve or how the things were evolved. And there's all kinds of human rationing to question the authority of God. Because you see, if you can bring the authority of God in question, then our authority is questioned because we have no authority but that which God has given to us. Jesus said whatever you ask in my name will be gi will be done for you. So if we even have a question on the authority of Jesus, then the kingdom is not ours. You see kingdom is operating in power. That's that's what it is. Now, in your paper there, if everybody has a paper, I'd look up the dictionary, two words, two very simple words, and you will see how these words fit so perfectly into the the real that we're fighting with. The first word is program. We're all familiar with the word program. Here's there's four meanings that I got from the uh Webster's dictionary. Program. the first minute a brief statement or written outline of something. You know, when you go to uh uh to the church, you get a bulletin. That's basically your program as to what's going on, what's going to be happening. Number two, performance. There's always a program has built into it a performance, something that has to be done. Then number three, a plan of action. In other words, to accomplish what the program says. And number four, it's a sequence of coded instructions for a computer. And so the Bible says that Satan is the accuser of the brethren. So what I want you to say to see here is that Satan has a program against you, against your family, against your church, against your community, against the nation that you live in. You know what Satan's program is against you? Jesus uh uh briefly stated what the program is. I think it's John 10:10. The thief comes but to steal, to kill, and to destroy. Satan has a short program against each and every one of us. And that program says, I want to steal everything you have. I want to kill everything you have. I want to destroy everything that you have. in that program, he has a performance. He needs to perform on that. In other words, you can desire to steal somebody something that somebody has, but you can't have that unless you act upon it. So, Satan is actively acting upon you and me to steal and to kill and to destroy everything that God has given us. And we need to know that. We need to know that Satan does not take vacations. He doesn't rest in the Sabbath. He doesn't have pity or mercy. He's like the uh Terminator. He's bent, hellbent on destroying you every single moment of the day. That's all he thinks about how to activate the plan against you so that the plan of action so that he can steal. But the part that I want you to see here is a a sequence of coded instruction because this is where we get now to the human heart. You see, Satan knows knows without a doubt that when a person hears the gospel of Jesus Christ, he will accept the Lord. So he has a set of coded instruction that he's been passing down from generation to generation to generation that when you come into the place to where you're going to be blossom as if it were into the reality of the blessing because Jesus says Jesus short program for us is but I came that you may have life and have it in abundance. That's that's God's plan of action. That's what Jesus wants to perform on us. He wants us to have life and have it in abundance. This is the plan of action. This is what Jesus wants to perform of us. So when we accept the Lord Jesus Christ, Jesus sets in motion the blessings of love, joy, peace, longsuffering, goodness, gentleness, all of the good things of the spirit of God are set in motion. So Satan has a set of coded instruction that he has placed deep within each and every human heart. And as soon as we begin to be blessed, he begins to come against that push the button that would keep us from entering into the blessing. So if we do not have our broken hearts healed, we can never enter into the blessings of God. Because you see a broken heart like we deal uh uh is a heart that has been split. In in other words, the scripture there where where James James 1:7 and8 for let not that man suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord for he is a double-minded man. Satan's plan is to get you to be double-minded because if you're doubleminded, God's plan of action for your life cannot be brought into place. So you see the double-mindedness is simply two spirit, two personalities or two things motivating you. Remember how Jesus said to the disciples when he was telling them to pray, watch and pray. Jesus says the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak. Why? Because there is a imprinted coded program that Satan has in each and every one of each and every one of us heart that he is working on to bring about. And we need to understand unless we get that part of our heart healed, we can never receive or implement God's plan for our life. This is why Jesus says, "I came to heal the broken heart." The broken heart uh uh in in in James 17 and8 means a duplicate and we dealt with this on the last uh two lesson. When God created I need to repeat this for emphasis so that we understand when God created the human soul God made man out of a lump of clay. Then God who is a spirit breathe out of his spirit. breath came out of God's mouth. And as that breath came out, it went into the nostrils of of of of this lump of clay. And the Bible says that he became a living soul. Okay? This soul was a duplicate of God because soul and spirit are the same thing except soul has to do with the lives with the self life or with the personality. So that God created us to be a duplicate of himself. Let us make man in our image and after our likeness. So Satan and how did God created that duplication? By his word. See you cannot speak words without breath coming out of your mouth. So it was the very breath of God when God says let us make man man became a living soul. But Satan come in and say no. Did God say? Did God really say to Jesus is if you are the son of God? What? Questioning the authority of the word of God. So whenever we question the authority of the word of God, there's a split. There's a duplicate. Now there's one of us that lives in doubt and fear and there's one of us, the spirit that is willing. Okay. Now that leads me to the second word, condition. Remember program. It's a brief statement or written outline of something something to be performed performance to be activated with a plan of action or a sequence condition. Listen to put into a proper or desired condition. Now notice number two to adapt modify or mold to respond in a particular way. Many Christians live in so much grief and so much shame because they have been conditioned. They have been adopted. They have been modified to respond in a particular way. And I don't care how good you are, how much you bless God, how much Bible scripture you you you memorize, how much you read, how how much church attendance you go to. If you have been conditioned to respond in a particular way to a certain situation, all that Satan has to do is activate that against you and boom, you're there. Boom. Actually, you're there. If it's anger, you can have the nicest person in the world. You push that right button that says condition anger and you push that button and out goes that fuse and there went your testimony. It's the same way with every condition whether it's loss, whether it's fear, whether all of the things are there. Why? Because Satan somewhere along the line came in and adapted the plan that had God for you. He began to modify it by getting some people in your life. Oh, you're be a loser just like your dad or you'll never be. You'll be this or you'll be that or you'll be the other. And this begin to condition you to respond. See, this is why some people have a spirit of self-destruction upon them. They get blessed. They get the best job in the world. They buy a house and everything and there's something in there that is so miserable that condition that you'll never profit. You'll never be anything and they'll do everything that they can in the world to selfdestruct. Same way with marriage. Some people uh uh find the perfect man and woman that God has for them on their life and they do everything in the world to destroy that relationship. Why? Because they have been conditioned. They have been pre-programmed. They have been molded to respond. You'll never be a nobody. You don't deserve it. How many of us? Well, see, Jesus says, "I came to heal that part of your heart. So, you can't enjoy the blessings." When the woman got a hold of the of the hymn of his garment, Jesus could have just let it go and they kept going. Nobody needs to know. The Bible says Jesus did so many things. If it were written in the books, there wouldn't be enough room in the whole world to put it. Why did Jesus stop and say, "Hey, wait a minute." because he wanted that woman not only to have the healing but to have the peace that goes with the healing. He said, "My daughter, your faith has made you heal." That coin peace. We need to know that that God wants us to have that peace. Now Romans 7:20 is one that we used on the last section where we did says now if I do what I will not to do it is no longer I who do it but sin living in me. Okay. How many of you have seen a a movie or or show where here's the person and then he's got this little replica of himself here and it's got a halo and a is a little angel and then a replica of himself here with a bunch couple of horns and a and a pitchfork. And this is the angel Jew and the devil Jew. And and the angel Jew say, "Oh, no, no, no. You better don't do that. You know, that's not right." And they, "Oh, come on. let's do it, you know, and there's this this this struggle, you know, there is a duplicate of ourselves. And the Bible says very clearly that if when we're born again and we truly have a desire not to sin, if we continue to do, God is saying, you are programmed, you have been conditioned to do something by something that is within you. The Bible calls it sin. Sin that lives in us. that is just a duplicate of oursel who has been adapted or modified to sin, to hate, to lust, to fear, to all of these different spirits that are there. And God says it's not until Proverbs 11:9, until you know what you're up against. See, the reason why I taught last week on on on uh and I didn't even know it was going to be Father's Day uh uh that lesson. I didn't even think about it, but uh uh rejection because that is the key to everything. Rejection. If we can truly understand that God loves us, that when we sin, God sees that duplicate that is in the image of Satan. The duplicate that has been created in us is the one that's doing all those things. And that God truly in his heart is saying, "If you just give me a shot of your heart, I will break that thing off of you and I will recreate that duplicate that I've already placed in your born again spirit, I will make it to come alive in you." Okay. Now, let's go to Revelation 2:14. And I want to put it now into action to the church to where we are today. Remember in the book of Revelation, Jesus appears to John and he is dictating to John seven letters, two different seven churches. And everybody that knows anything about Scathology, uh that's the study of the things of the end. They know that this is the condition of the churches on the end times, the time that we're living in today. Each letter represents the condition of the church. And I want you to see in in verse 14 what Jesus says. But I have a few things against you because you have there those who hold the doctrine of Balum who taught Bailac to put a stumbling block before the children of Israel to eat things sacrificed to idols and to commit sexual immorality. What is the doctrine of Balor? The doctrine of balance is probably one of the greatest tools that Satan uses to take away the authority that Jesus has given to each and every one of us. The if if you read this the story of Balum, Balum was a prophet. Now, let me say this and and please listen. The fact that a person has a gift from God doesn't make that person uh uh right with God. Okay? I I I don't know which other way to put it. What I'm trying to say is that for example a a person that has given the gift of a good voice is a great singer or a person that's very talented of the arts. You can use that gift for good or for bad. Yes. Okay. You have a good voice, you can sing real good bad music or you can real good good music. You see? So there are gift. Balam was definitely a man who was gifted. Balam is a man who could see into the spirit realm and everybody knew it when the children of Israel are coming and remember God has promised a promised land to them. They're coming. So Bailo who is the king over there wants to destroy them. But Balac who is a very demonic individual knows that without a written program an act something that a plan of action he cannot destroy the children of Israel. He says now they are blessed of God. So they are blessed in the spirit realm. So I cannot take I cannot take them on on the physical realm because they have a spiritual backing. So I need to neutralize that spiritual authority that they have before I can take them on. Now why am I saying this? Because you have a spiritual backing. You have as a born again believer your name is written in heaven and Satan's plan of action is not going to work against you. Okay, if it if it confronts you here in the natural. So Bala says to Balam, "Okay, I need a a short program, something that I can act on. Since you're a man of God, since you look into the spirit, I want you to curse them. And as soon as you curse him, I'll take him on." So he says, "Okay, let me see." So Balon goes over there, he starts open his mouth, and nothing but blessings come on. What are you doing? Three times this is repeated. So Bailo could not take on the children of Israel because he didn't have a program or have an action. So what did Bailac do? He offered enough to Balam and Balam finally said, "You know what? You can't fight these people in the physical realm. They have the spiritual backing of God. You have to get them. You have to have their authority removed from them. And the way to do that is you go into the spirit realm and you get them to do something that will challenge the very authority that God has given them. And then you can take him on. Now notice what I said. It says uh Revelation 2:14, Balon who taught Bailo to put a stumbling block before the children of Israel. He taught him. He taught this guy. He said, "I can't curse him for you, but I can show you how you can take their authority away from them." What's the stumbling block? Eat food sacrifice to idol. You know what that means to us today? That means taking heed or paying attention to demonic doctrine. You see, this is why it's so important, my friend, that even what you watch on TVN, that even what you what you watch in Christian television, that even what you hear, because if there's a Bum over there who is really gifted of God and is sold out for the the the great uh castles and palace and their fame and all this fortune, these people are going to come in and they are going to present you a gospel that is not the true gospel of Jesus Christ. And when that gets you into a position where you begin to doubt the authority of Christ, then Satan had you here in the realm, his program against you is going to begin to work. But we have to be very careful because of look at second Timothy. Uh let's go there real quick. Second Timothy uh 3 and we'll read one to five. This is Paul warning us way ahead of time. But know this that in the last days perilous times will come. I want you to to to hold on to the word in your mind there. Perilous uh uh uh means times of stress. Okay? For men will be lovers of themselves. Now Balam can be put in that category. Balam was offered an awful lot of money and fame and fortune. He was later killed, by the way, by the Israelites. But he was offered lots and lots of things. And unfortunately many maybe not many I won't judge but I know for a fact that there are leaders within the realm of of the church within here the United States people that we look up to and stuff like that that I have no doubt have sold themselves to uh this you know the the fame and the fortune and the things to where you know you cannot even get close to these guys when they come around you know they're like superstars. charge uh and and and because of that lovers of money, boasters, proud blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiven, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, hotty, lovers of pleasure rather than loving of lovers of God. And look what it says in verse 5. This is what I want you to see. Having a form of godliness. This is not talking about the the rock stars, my friend. I don't think any of you here ever uh will associate the the the punk or or or the rappers or these people as having a form of godliness. You know, Madona doesn't have a form of governance and Britney Spears and all these other people. So, he's talking about religious leaders. Had to be. Yes. He cannot be talking about anybody else. It had to be talking about somebody who is giving you a word, you know, somebody who is influence or chaping what is going on in the churches today because you know uh uh if we all feed from the same trough uh uh uh you poison the water, everybody's going to get poisoned. This is why it's so important sometimes you need to fast certain things like that. allow only God to speak to you through his word and through your prayer and through your meditation. Sometimes you need to cleanse your mind from from the influences going around and stuff like that. Okay? I'm in a form of godliness by den remember we're talking about the precondition program because what happens is if I can bring it down a little bit here to earth when the doctor says to you you may have cancer and if it's there on that part it may be inoperable you may die right then and there the authority of Jesus Christ and says you are the Lord who heals me if it is not safely secured Satan will steal that healing from you the minute that you die. So, we need to have that that that that program of God in our hearts is what I'm trying to say. Instead of the program of the devil, we need to be preconditioned by God instead of being preconditioned by by by the devil. You know, when your car gets hit at 70 miles an hour and all of a sudden you're spinning around, what comes out of your mouth is something that have to be there. You don't have time to think it's going to be all right. We're going to be okay. We're going to be fine. Nothing's going to happen. See, that only comes out if it's already been put in there. Thank God that he put it there. But we need to do that for every aspect of our lives. That means we need to and and as the weeks come, uh I I want to make sure I'm going to give you all of the tools that you need to have the Lord do a really selfch check of your soul so that you can whatever demonic program is there. You know, many of us is generational divorce is a generational curse. Uh today people will come and say oh there's no such a thing as generational curses. How Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law. That's bail right there. You know if read what the curses of the law is. Sicknesses is part of the curse of the law. If we have been redeemed from the curse of the law automatically without without us doing anything. Why do Christians get sick? Why do the New Testament said if you get sick go to the elders have anoint you with oil. Haven't break the curse. That's right. Okay. The curses have to be broken. The program of Satan within us have to be broken. And I don't know, you know, we don't know when we minister to people, the hardest thing is to know what to do. But we do know that the principles of the word of God work. And if we put the principles of the word of God and if we do the prayers and things, God works. God makes it work. You know, if we're submitted, if we're willing, and sometimes it takes a while. Satan may have been working in that program within your family for a thousand years. They might if you could go back a thousand generation I mean a 100 generation uh in your life you could find out that this has been in your line all the way through and it might take some revelation from God. It may take certain things you need to do but we the good thing is that Jesus says I came to heal the broken heart. I came to take the two things that are divided and to make him one again. God wants to make us whole in every area. uh 2 Thessalonians 5 I think it says that that that your whole spirit that your soul and that your body may be kept blameless may be made all one. That is what God is wanting to do. And then he says and from such people turn away. Turn away. He says turn away from such people. What such people? People who are acting out of the flesh or selfish motivation. Let me tell you the soul has power. Psychics that operate in the you know psychic and soul is the same thing. Okay. Psychic that's a word for selfife. Okay. There is power in the supernatural realm and you can operate in that realm. You can go to a psychic or you can uh uh get new age uh uh books. You can get all the things with incantation and you will find out this is why wikah has so many bowlers especially young people because young people want to see power. Young people want to see something that's real. So they go for this stuff. They put a curse on somebody and that curse works. I heard of people that told us, I couldn't believe it when I put a curse on this person for her hair to fall out because they were jealous and envious of her and her hair begin to falling out, man. They were like, "Woo, this stuff it works. There's power there." But the problem with the the power in the psychic or or in the solish realm is that that is the supernatural realm where Satan operates. And Satan has stuff in you. And you get into that thinking, "Well, I can just use this power for good." Guess what? Satan is going to get your button and he's going to bound you more than ever before because this is how it works. That's how he does. So, we need to elevate ourselves. Get out of the psychic or the supernatural or the solish realm and only trust in the spirit realm or the the the Holy Spirit. Jesus said you will not need nobody to teach you. But when the Holy Spirit, the spirit of truth comes upon you, you will know what to do. When we separate ourself by what makes sense to the eyes, we will know what to do. That's what he's saying. Now, I'll close here. Hebrews 12:26-29 talks about that God wants to remove everything that is not eternal. 1 Corinthians 13:13. Uh uh but these things remain, faith, hope, and love. And the greater is love. when you say to God and this will move on into tonight. Uh I won't be here next week but there will be a class Fred is going to be covering uh for me and he's dealing uh with one of the areas that I have taught him that we're dealing. So he'll be here so please be here. I got to feel for a pastor that's having a a bypass thing done next week and tonight. I got to go there tonight too but I won't be here next week. But the week after that, when I get back, I'm going to get with the areas that as you begin to ask the Lord to remove that satanic programming and conditioning that we have all been brought up to, there's going to be a fire. There's going to be because our our God is a consuming fire. So, I want you to meditate on that scripture because we're going to deal with the scripture next time. Okay? Father, in the name of Jesus, I pray your blessing upon each and every one of your children here. I thank you for loving them, for keeping them. Thank you, Father God, for teaching us how to be set free from any control that the enemy may have over us. That we may truly and in all things glorify Jesus, the name that is above every name, the name of the only begotten son who died to deliver us from our sins. In Jesus name we thank you Lord. Amen.
