BEHOLD, THE LAMB OF GOD The objective of this message is to help believers gain a deeper understanding of Jesus as the Lamb of God, whose sacrificial death fulfills the Old Testament foreshadowing of the Passover lamb. It seeks to strengthen faith in the power of His blood to redeem, protect, and deliver from destruction, while encouraging believers to walk daily in the assurance of His covenant and covering. BEHOLD, THE LAMB OF GOD Minister Lisa Kane January 19, 2025 Objective: The objective of this message is to help believers gain a deeper understanding of Jesus as the Lamb of God, whose sacrificial death fulfills the Old Testament foreshadowing of the Passover lamb. It seeks to strengthen faith in the power of His blood to redeem, protect, and deliver from destruction, while encouraging believers to walk daily in the assurance of His covenant and covering. Synopsis: This teaching explores the meaning and significance of John’s proclamation, “Behold the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world” (John 1:29). It explains how Jesus’ role as the sacrificial Lamb was foreshadowed in the Passover account of Exodus, where the blood of the lamb marked the homes of Israel for protection from the destroyer. The message draws connections between the Old Testament shadow and the New Testament fulfillment, showing how Jesus’ crucifixion, His shed blood, and the Last Supper instituted the new covenant. Just as the Israelites were preserved by the lamb’s blood on their doorposts, believers today are covered by the blood of Christ, which speaks a better word than Abel’s blood and causes destruction, curses, and judgment to pass over. Through the cross, Jesus fulfilled the law, redeemed humanity, and provided believers with protection, pardon, and victory. Communion is presented as a continual reminder of His sacrifice and covenant, sealing believers under His covering. The message closes with a call to humility, repentance, and faith, urging listeners to stand firm in Christ’s redeeming blood and look forward to His return—not only as the Lamb but also as the coming King. Inspired Teaching - Written and/or Transcribed from Video Above: Hello and welcome to the House of Faith Ministries. I'm Lisa Kane and I'm recording this message on Sunday, January 19th, 2025. Welcome. Glad you can join us. Let's open up in a word of prayer. Father God, we thank you for your word and we bless your word. Let your word not return void. And Father God, I pray that we have a better understanding of the blood of the lamb. That we have a better understanding of your hedge of protection around us. that we can walk and believe in the anointing of your word and know that you've got our back and that we can speak your word and that we can walk away from destruction. Thank you, Lord, for opening our minds to this and bringing up our level of faith. Thank you, Lord, in the name of Jesus. Amen. Amen. I'm very excited about this message. This is called Behold the Lamb of God. Let's go to our opening scripture here. John 1:29. The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him and say, "Behold the lamb of God which taketh away the sin of the world." Ah, he takes away the sin of the world. I love that. So, let's stop for a minute though and think about this for a moment because John knew something that the Israelites should have known and they didn't know. You see, John saw him as the lamb of God and said, "He's coming to take away the sin of the world." But all the Israelites, I think all of them if not most of them were expecting a king. And Jesus said, "No, no, no. He he came as the lamb of God, but he took he came as a king as well, but he took the kingdom off for a moment. Went to the cross and died as the lamb of God, shedding his blood and redeeming us, taking away the sin of the world, which is what John prophesied because it had to be done. So what is the lamb of God? What why did that happen first? Because you know Jesus is coming back a second time and he's coming as king and he didn't the first time which perplexed the Israelites. They don't understand it but God he explains it and Jesus explained it and he's showing us what he is as the lamb of God. So, let's look at who the lamb of God is and what he did did for us because when you get it, oh my goodness gracious, you you're just you're going to understand that the destroyer can never ever touch you. Oh, this is good. So, let's go to Exodus. Let's look at the Passover because the lamb of God is Passover. So, we're going to start here in Exodus 12 3 and 6. Speak ye unto the congregation. Speak ye unto all the congregation of Israel. God is talking to Moses. So, he's telling Moses saying, "In the 10th day of this month, they shall take to them every man a lamb according to the house of their fathers a lamb for a house." Now, uh he explains more. You can go read the whole chapter. I don't have the whole time to to read the chapter here, but I would like to encourage you to do it. He's going to tell you how much of a lamb you may need. You may have to share with your neighbor. Let's say you're only two people in one house, so you know, you can't eat an entire lamb, but you're going to have to eat it all. So the whole point of having this lamb is to eat it all. So go down to verse six. And ye shall keep it until the 14th day of the same month. And the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel shall kill it in the evening. Wait, wait, wait, wait. So you tell Moses, I want you all to take a lamb into your house. They bring a lamb into their house and that lamb is there for four days and then you have to kill it. which is Jesus came down to the earth and he was here for a while. We kept him on the earth. He was here. He kept himself here and then he had to be crucified. Killed. Well, the lamb is killed in each household. Now, the Now, remember, let's let's do a little overall hierarchy stuff here for just a moment. The Old Testament is a shadow of where Jesus was coming. man going and going to do what he was going to do. It shadowed it. It foretold us but a mystery. Whereas the New Testament reveals all the mystery. But the other part of this is that on the earth, everything on the earth is a shadow of everything in heaven. So like uh Moses had to create or uh yeah make create uh the ark of the covenant which has a mercy seat on it. Well, in the heavens there is an ark of the covenant. There's an arc and on there is the mercy seat. And by the way, the blood of Jesus is on that mercy seat. It's also on the one on earth. So this is they they're interacted with one another. So going back to look at the lamb of God, the lamb that the Israelites had to use to come out of Egypt. This is very important. So let's read a little bit more about uh what's going on and why God is setting up this Passover. Uh verse 7. And they shall take of the blood and strike it on the two sideposts and on the upper doorpost of the house houses wherein they shall eat it. And they shall eat the flesh in that night. Roast with fire and unleaven bread and with bitter herbs they shall eat it. So he's saying need you to kill the lamb. Then I want you to take its blood, put it on each of the sidepost. And then I want you to put it on the lentil. And then I want you to eat it all. So we have Jesus who went to the cross. you know, he he went to the cross and he he died. Um, and his body was broken and he was he bled and we take holy communion where we take the unleaven bread or a cracker and we break it. It's bruising. It's got discoloration on it when you bake it. So, it looks like it's bruised. And then you partake of that. You eat it symbolically. you drink of the wine which is the symbol of his blood. This is what he did with the um the last supper. So, and he did it before he went to the cross. So, he was showing him what needed to be done. Well, keep in mind they were shown this at the Passover. So, let's continue on here in verse 12. For I will pass through the land of Egypt this night. What's going on here? Because let's look at this. Now, if you read everything, the the Egyptians had 10 plagues against them. So, we're talking about the 10th plague, the nine plagues, the lice, the frogs, and so forth. You can go read about the plagues. The 10th plague, God is coming in to take the firstborn son of all the people and of all the land. So firstborn cow, male cow, he was taken. Um if he but God who says he's going to do all this, he said, "I need to protect you, Israel." So he's giving Israel some protection because God says, "My spirit is coming to destroy." He's going to take the firstborn. Why? Why does the firstborn need to be taken? Do you remember what Pharaoh did? He told the midwives to kill all the maleborn children of Israel because they thought they were getting too great because they were slaves and they couldn't control them any longer. And so now God decides to demonstrate his power by hardening Pharaoh's heart. And so he sent these 10 plagues and the 10th one was the killer. This was the one. But see, God has to send his destroyer to everyone. The law is for everyone. Not just for Jesus to fulfill it and for us to let it go. Okay, let's read these scriptures. Let's keep that in the back of our mind as we read these scriptures. I really want you to get this. For I will pass through the land of Egypt this night and will smite all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man and beast. and against all the gods of Egypt, I will execute judgment. I am the Lord, and the blood shall be to you for a token upon the houses where ye are. And when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and the plague shall not be upon you to destroy you when I smite the land of Egypt." Okay? Want you to get this. So he's telling them, "Put the blood on your doorpost and on the lentil and you go inside your home. You stay there." So during the night, the spirit of the Lord, spirit of destruction, the destroyer comes and he takes all the firstborn sons that were in a home or out in the field that were not covered or in the doorway of the blood. Okay, let's look a little further about this because I want you to get it. In um Luke says, "Now the feast of unleven bread drew nigh which is called the Passover." So when God passed over these houses, his spirit passed over the houses, it became a feast, a celebration that they needed to celebrate. So the Israelites, they have the blood covering over them every year by putting the blood on their post and on their lentil. And the spirit of God passes over them. So Jesus is the lamb of God. He's the lamb that had to be killed. It was in their feast. But you know, remember the Old Testament is a mystery. So they didn't understand what was going on. So as Jesus came and he had the last supper with his disciples, he's the Passover. So he's becoming the Passover. Let's take a look at that last supper a little bit more. 22 Luke 22:es 1 and 2 and then verse 7. Now the feast of unleven bread drew nigh, which is called the Passover, and the chief priests and scribes sought how they might kill him, for they feared the people. Then came the day of unleven bread when the Passover must be killed. So Jesus is going to be killed on Passover because he is the Passover lamb. And keep in mind uh Caiaphas, he's the one who kind of prophesied we need to kill the one before it ruins the many. So this is if you go read all of that that's in John, you'll be able to see all the manipulation, everything that's going on, but not just like by the Pharisees and the priests, but by Jesus, too. He's manipulating the whole thing to make certain he gets to that cross. That was his agenda. You see, he came, yes, as a king, but he had to lay down his kingdom and stand up as the lamb of God and take away the sin of the world first, which is what he did. Luke 22:14. And when the hour was come, he sat down and the twel apostles with him. And he said unto them, with desire, I have desired to eat the Passover with you before I suffer. For I say unto you, I will not anymore eat thereof until it be fulfilled in the kingdom of God. And he took the cup and gave thanks and said, Take this and divide it among yourselves. For I say unto you, I will not drink of the fruit of the vine until the kingdom of God shall come. And he took bread and gave thanks and broke it and gave unto them saying this is my body which is given for you this do in remembrance of me. This or likewise also the cup after supper saying this cup is the new testament in my blood which is shed for you. Now we know that he just had holy communion with his disciples the last supper. So he says, "Break this is my body." And then he says, "Drink this is my blood." Now we know he got to the cross. We know he was crucified. He um had a crown of thorns placed on his head. He was scorged or whi whipped in his back, 39 lashes I believe it is, and he was torn up in his back. Uh they had nailed his hands and his feet to the cross, and he bled from those areas. But and and the whole point of the cross, by the way, is suffocation at its crulest, if you ask me. But basically, when they pin your feet down, there's a little um shelf for you to be able to push yourself up because when you are on the cross and you let you loosen your muscles, it compresses the lungs. You can't breathe. So, in order to breathe, you had to push yourself up, take a breath, and then collapse. And it got harder and harder because every time you push yourself up on a broken heel, bruised heel. If you go look at the curses against the Satan in Genesis, you will see that Jesus heel was bruised. Well, when he pushes himself up on that bruised heel that's hurting, it's in he's in pain. He's in a lot of pain. He has to take his breath in that pain and then come down. Now, what's going on in his body is a whole lot of things. He's suffocating, which his heart is working twice as fast, if not quadruple fast. You know, it's moving to try to get enough oxygen to the brain to keep the brain alive. So, the rest of the body starts shutting down. And it got to the point where the the um heart is pumping so fast, so hard that the water and the blood separate. So when the centurion came because they could not have people uh on the cross for Passover, he broke the legs of the two thieves and then he stabbed Jesus because he it looked like Jesus was already dead. So he is just going to make certain. So he stabs him in his side and blood and water flowed. And when that blood hit the ground, it shook the ground. And with that cross standing there, it split the ground. That blood went down into the ground and it landed on the mercy seat. The uh ark of the covenant on the earth is hidden underneath that cross and the mercy seat landed there. It was also placed on the mercy seat in heaven. And Jesus took away the sin of the world. Now what does that mean? What where does this go? Because I want you to see something here that I think is powerful. Let's read the next scripture first. Says Hebrews 4:12:24, "And to Jesus the mediator." He's the go-between of the new covenant contract and to the blood of sprinkling that speaketh better things than that of Abel. Abel is the when you are killed, your blood is on the ground and it is calling out to God for revenge. Avenge me. Avenge me. Well, that avenging needs to be met. So, God hears that. We don't, but he does. So here, he had to come and now shed his own blood. So what does this do? You see, God has his law. He can't take the law back. The law is the law, and someone had to meet that law. Well, no, none of us could. You can try as hard as you can to follow the Ten Commandments. I'm going tell you right now, you're going to fail. The Ten Commandments tells us we're failures. But Jesus says, "I'm not a failure. I'll fulfill it." And here's what he did. So when he, the lamb, the lamb of God, got up on the cross and shed his blood, he said, "I want you to put my blood on the post of your door of your heart and on the lentil of your heart. and I'm going to pass over you when it comes to judgment for sin. That's what the lamb of God is. We have the blood of the lamb over us. Now, how does this work? Let's let's look at this. remember uh Rahab and um the walls of Jericho coming down. Remember what the spies told her to do? Put a scarlet red thread out your window. And see when the Israelites, the priest, and they sh they blew the trumpet and they shouted and the walls came tumbling down. The only wall that did not come tumbling down was Rahab. And she had her whole father's household in there with her. They survived and they were able to come out cuz there's a spirit of destruction that went against the walls of Jericho and those walls had to fall. But because that destroying spirit had to go hit all the walls, the destroying spirit knows that if it sees the blood, it sees the red, it has to pass over. It's required by God because that's how the rule is set up. The rule is set up that if I deserve death against me because maybe I killed somebody and that death is supposed to come against me because it's a curse. It comes back at you. A lot of people don't understand the curses. But when that curse comes back at you, if you have the blood of Jesus over your heart, it has to pass over you because that is what the new covenant, the new contract is all about. So when we partake of holy communion and we take that bread and we re we do this in remembrance of what Jesus did on the cross. We're remembering him on the cross. We're seeing him on the cross. We're remembering everything he went to. That tells us he's going to pass over us. That's what holy communion is about. That's what the lamb of God is. This is what he had to do first. And this is a good thing because I'm going to tell you right now, there's so many curses that are coming against us. We are living in a land of sin. We are vexed by what's going on out here. But all those consequences have to pass over us because we have the blood of the lamb on us. Oh, this is awesome. Hebrews 10:12-17. But this man, after he offered one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down on the right hand of God, from henceforth, expecting till his enemies be made his foottool. For by one offering he hath perfected forever them that are sanctified, or to made made holy, made holy. We are made holy because of his one sacrifice. Continuing on in verse 15, whereof the Holy Ghost also is a witness to us. For after that he had said before, this is the covenant contract that I will make with them after those days, sayeth the Lord. I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them, and their sins or offense, and iniquities or illegality will I remember no more. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. He is the lamb of God and he passes over us and he doesn't remember our sins and illegalities anymore. We are legal. You see the blood of the lamb had to fulfill the law. So it had to go on the post had to go on the lentil of that gateway so that when the destruction was coming, woo, that destruction stopped and says there's blood here. I can't go that way. I have to pass over. Meaning, you cannot be destroyed. The gates of hell shall not prevail against the church. You are the church. By the way, your body is the temple of God. So now when you take holy communion, your heart's post has the blood on the left and the right and on the lentil and nothing can come against you. Nothing can break through. It has to pass over because these are God's destructions. God is the He's the spirit of the Lord is the Lord that comes in. The spirit that comes in to destroy. He's gonna destroy. He goes after, but you have protection against that because he says, "I give you my son and I give his blood to redeem you, to pardon you, to free you. You are covered with that blood and you do not have any more destruction against you." What is destruction? What is destroying? Cancer kills. Sickness kills. financial issues kill. But God says, "I will pass over you because behold the lamb of God. Jesus our redeemer came and he shed his blood for us, for you and me. He is the lamb of God. He fulfilled the law. He gave us a way out. He pardoned us. He redeemed us. Does this mean I go on continuing to sin? I do my best to stop. But I'm in the flesh. But here's the thing that I can take from this. When I know that the destroyer can't mess with me, that means I can't die from that. I love it when Paul says, "Oh, death or death were interesting." Which he's quoting the Old Testament. And I don't remember who he's quoting, but you can go look that up. When he says that, that's the most powerful thing because now we come to the realization as a believer in Christ, this stuff can't get me. Remember, what's on the earth is a shadow of what's in heaven. So when Jesus says, "I give you the keys to the kingdom of heaven. Whatever you bind on earth is bound in heaven. Whatever you loose on earth is loose in heaven." The two work together. And in the heaven, the blood of the redeemer of the lamb of God is already on the mercy seat. And that blood is over you, causing the destroyer to pass over you. You no longer have to deal with the corrupt. In fact, you can wake up every morning. His mercies are new every morning. And you can stand there and says, you know what? I'm going to have a great day. And I'm going to have this great day because the Lord has provided it. He's already blessed today. I'm on his side and he's got his covering protecting me. So, whoever's talking behind your back about you or who's ever trying to bring you down or who's ever trying to attack you mentally, physically, whatever the situation may be, guess what? You get to look up and say, "Behold the lamb of God. Jesus is my Lord and Savior. Jesus is the son of God. Jesus's blood is on the doorpost and the lentil of me. So I am inside the house because I'm a temple of God. I'm on the inside of the house and the doors are covered with the blood of Jesus and no destroyer. Nothing can get me. Nothing can touch me. I hope you get this. And if things happen, they're happening now for a reason. Meaning God is up to something with you. He's talking to you. He's trying to get your attention. And whatever the situation may be that you're dealing with, the first thing always, always, always the first thing, humble yourself before the Lord. Go before him and say, "I'm sorry. I messed up." You see, once you do that, that's where that destroyer has to back off. the attack has to back up. You know what? I had CO I had CO uh at Christmas time at the end of that year. And I remember I put up a Christmas tree and I the Lord clearly told me not to do it and I did it anyways. And uh I I was sick as a dog. I mean I was I was sick and those three days I and I was praying and humbling. Okay, let me just simply say I was praying and I couldn't really cry too hard because I couldn't breathe. That was my issue. I couldn't breathe. I don't know. I I I'm just like, Lord, you know, I I'm having to trust in you on this. I need you, but if you're going to take me, don't let me suffer. Just take me and send me home. And there I am repenting, humbling myself because that's what we're supposed to do. That's what the scriptures tells. I want you to come back. He says, "Come back. come back. So 3 days in and I remember I don't remember was that evening or the next morning but I think it was that evening I all of a sudden I was like breathing fine and it was almost like instantaneous and it was even weirder because it felt like in my lungs like I couldn't um get to because I was shallow breathing those three days. I couldn't breathe any it was like a there was a a barrier there. I couldn't get past this barrier. But three days, all of a sudden, I can get past this barrier. And then, of course, you have to retrain your lungs to get back to breathing. So, I was having to breathe deep, was taking that inhaler, try to get the medicine down into the bottom of my lungs, but I was it it it almost cleared up instantly. I was like, "Wow, thank you, Lord." And my life has changed drastically since then. You know, I am definitely being obedient to the word of God. And I was like, "Okay, Lord, you want me to be this way? I want to be this way too. He wants to bless me. I want his blessings. You see, I know that he is my creator. I know that he has made a way for me to come out of the consequences because I'm going to tell you right now, we were born and conceived in sin. So, I know that Jesus took care of that and it was a free gift. So now I get to come before him and humble myself before him and say thank you. And that's what I do. He's my redeemer. He's the lamb of God first. Now he's coming back as king. And boy, do I look forward to that day. I don't look forward to what's going to happen in between. But the end result is that God has a plan. And that end plan is drastic. So eventually all of us are going to end up on the other side. So the question is where do you want to end up on the other side? You want to end up in the presence of God in heaven or do you want to end up in hell? Do you want to blame all this on him and just you know it's his fault. That's between you and God. You have the right to do that if you want. You're angry with him. You hate him or whatever. You go talk to him. He wants to hear from you. But have an open mind when you find out the truth and you realize the truth and that he is your lord over your heart and so that your gate, your body is covered by the blood of Jesus. Make sure you take your holy communion too. Amen. Let's close in a word of prayer. Father God, we thank you for your word and we bless your word. Thank you. Your word will not return void. You are holy. You are the son of God. You're king of kings. You are lord of lords. And you have fulfilled your duty. Your father asked you to do. And it is such a simple matter. Your will is for us to believe. All we need to do is believe. And I believe. I believe that you are the son of God. I believe that you are my redeemer. and I believe that you're going to raise me from the dead when my turn comes. I believe in you and I look forward to meeting you face to face. In the name of Jesus, we pray. Amen. Amen. God bless you. I will see you in the next message. Bye-bye. Home Previous Next
- UNDERSTANDING THE BOOK OF REVELATION PART 9 | House of Faith Ministries (HoFM)
UNDERSTANDING THE BOOK OF REVELATION PART 9 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. UNDERSTANDING THE BOOK OF REVELATION PART 9 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. Inspired Teaching - Written and/or Transcribed from Video Above: 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. And what happens is Home Previous Next
- RENEW YOUR STRENGTH | House of Faith Ministries (HoFM)
RENEW YOUR STRENGTH To help believers understand that true strength is not found in self-reliance, worldly gain, or fleeting emotion, but in waiting upon the Lord. This teaching emphasizes how God renews the strength of those who trust in Him, demonstrating through Scripture that spiritual endurance and empowerment come from abiding in His presence and relying on His Word. RENEW YOUR STRENGTH Minister Lisa Kane November 12, 2025 Objective: To help believers understand that true strength is not found in self-reliance, worldly gain, or fleeting emotion, but in waiting upon the Lord. This teaching emphasizes how God renews the strength of those who trust in Him, demonstrating through Scripture that spiritual endurance and empowerment come from abiding in His presence and relying on His Word. Synopsis: “Renew Your Strength” encourages believers to draw their power and resilience from the Lord, as promised in Isaiah 40:31. Minister Lisa Kane explores how even the strongest grow weary, yet those who wait on the Lord experience divine renewal that lifts them above life’s challenges like eagles soaring on the wind. Through the examples of Paul, Daniel, the Levites, and the psalmists, this message reveals that strength is cultivated through prayer, obedience, and intimacy with God. It warns against trusting in worldly riches or self-sufficiency, urging believers to dwell continually in the “secret place” of God’s presence, where strength is restored and help is sent from above. Ultimately, this teaching reminds us that our ability to walk, run, and soar through life’s trials depends entirely on our willingness to wait, trust, and abide in the Lord. Inspired Teaching - Written and/or Transcribed from Video Above: Isaiah 40:27-31 NKJV 27 Why do you say, O Jacob, And speak, O Israel: “My way is hidden from the Lord, And my just claim is passed over by my God”? 28 Have you not known? Have you not heard? The everlasting God, the Lord, The Creator of the ends of the earth, Neither faints nor is weary. His understanding is unsearchable. 29 He gives power to the weak, And to those who have no might He increases strength. 30 Even the youths shall faint and be weary, And the young men shall utterly fall, 31 But those who wait on the Lord Shall renew their strength; They shall mount up with wings like eagles, They shall run and not be weary, They shall walk and not faint. Have you ever wondered where strength comes from? It seems that some days I have no strength and yet other days, I’m filled with so much strength. Then, sometimes I ponder, why hasn’t the Lord answered my prayers? I know my prayers are true and faithful, and yet it seems quiet. But in Isaiah 40, He gives power to the weak and to those who have no might, He increases strength. The big point I want to show in Isaiah 40, is verse 31: But those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength. That tells me that God isn’t ignoring me. He’s saying by not saying that I need to wait. 2 Timothy 4:14-18 NKJV 14 Alexander the coppersmith did me much harm. May the Lord repay him according to his works. 15 You also must beware of him, for he has greatly resisted our words. 16 At my first defense no one stood with me, but all forsook me. May it not be charged against them. 17 But the Lord stood with me and strengthened me, so that the message might be preached fully through me, and that all the Gentiles might hear. Also I was delivered out of the mouth of the lion. 18 And the Lord will deliver me from every evil work and preserve me for His heavenly kingdom. To Him be glory forever and ever. Amen! Paul understood this and brought it to light when writing to Timothy. The Lord stood with him to strengthen him, so that He could accomplish His calling by preaching the gospel to the gentiles. 2 Chronicles 11:16-17 NKJV 16 And [b]after the Levites left, those from all the tribes of Israel, such as set their heart to seek the Lord God of Israel, came to Jerusalem to sacrifice to the Lord God of their fathers. 17 So they strengthened the kingdom of Judah, and made Rehoboam the son of Solomon strong for three years, because they walked in the way of David and Solomon for three years. When Israel and Judah split after Solomon died, Jeroboam was wicked and set up false priests of his own to be priests instead of the Levites. The Levites knew they were rejected but they ‘set their heart’, that is their thoughts and feelings to seek the Lord God of Israel. This allowed Rehoboam to become strong for three years because they chose to walk like David and Solomon before them. Great examples to follow… Psalm 52:7 NKJV 7 “Here is the man who did not make God his strength, But trusted in the abundance of his riches, And strengthened himself in his [a]wickedness.” And you can strengthen yourself in things of this world or in God. In Psalm 52:7, you can see that this man trusted in riches and strengthened himself in wickedness. Here’s a good question, what or who do you want to be strong in? Do you want to be strong in God and face the world’s challenges with God or do you want to be strong in your own self, or in the wickedness of this world and face the world’s challenges without God? Daniel 10:19 NKJV 19 And he said, “O man greatly beloved, fear not! Peace be to you; be strong, yes, be strong!” So when he spoke to me I was strengthened, and said, “Let my lord speak, for you have strengthened me.” In Daniel’s writings, you will find that he received his strength back when the Angel of the Lord touched him. This shows that we need God to be strengthened. Remember our opening scripture: Isaiah 40:31 NKJV 31 But those who wait on the Lord Shall renew their strength; They shall mount up with wings like eagles, They shall run and not be weary, They shall walk and not faint. How do you choose to wait on the Lord? Psalm 91:1 NKJV He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. We, you and I take the initiative to ‘dwell’ / ‘abide’ before the Lord in the secret place. Do you set time aside just to speak with God and to hear (read) His Word? This is so important as a believer in Christ. This is where we gain our strength. This is what helps us stay strong. This is what helps us see what is coming, how to be prepared for it, and what to do when it happens. Everything, especially our help comes out of the Word of God. Psalm 121:1 NKJV I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help. Psalm 20:2 NKJV 2 Send thee help from the sanctuary, and strengthen thee out of Zion; Psalm 22:19 NKJV 19 But be not thou far from me, O Lord: O my strength, haste thee to help me. The psalmists recognize that strength comes from the Lord. And they cry out to the Lord. Another way to look at dwelling in the secret place is like a preventative way of action to ask for help from the Lord before you need that help. The Word of God and His presence is our strength. May He manifest that strength in you. Home Previous Next
- EXPERIENCE HIS LOVE | House of Faith Ministries (HoFM)
EXPERIENCE HIS LOVE The goal of this teaching is to help you not only understand but truly experience the love of God in a personal and life-transforming way. By exploring Scripture, you will see how God’s love goes beyond human definitions and becomes the very force that changes your heart, renews your mind, and empowers you to walk in faith, hope, and charity. EXPERIENCE HIS LOVE Minister Lisa Kane August 3, 2025 Objective: The goal of this teaching is to help you not only understand but truly experience the love of God in a personal and life-transforming way. By exploring Scripture, you will see how God’s love goes beyond human definitions and becomes the very force that changes your heart, renews your mind, and empowers you to walk in faith, hope, and charity. Synopsis: In this message, we reflect on what it means to experience His love—the love of God revealed through Christ. Beginning with John 3:16, we recognize that God’s love is not a vague idea but a powerful reality, rooted in His very nature and demonstrated through the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross. This love is not based on our human perceptions but defined by God Himself. Scripture shows us that love (agape) is more than emotion; it is action, benevolence, and selfless giving. As Paul describes in 1 Corinthians 13, without love, our gifts, knowledge, and even great acts of service amount to nothing. Love suffers long, is kind, rejoices in truth, and endures all things. Experiencing this love transforms how we think, how we treat others, and how we live out our faith. You are invited to pursue this love intentionally—by seeking God in prayer, allowing Him to renew your mind (Romans 12:1–2), and opening your heart to His Spirit. Experiencing His love leads to a deeper understanding of your value to God, a renewed desire to walk in His ways, and the strength to show His love to others. Above all, it is love that never fails and remains the greatest gift we can live in and share with the world. Inspired Teaching - Written and/or Transcribed from Video Above: Hello and welcome to the House of Faith Ministries. I'm Lisa Kaine and I'm recording this teaching on Sunday, August 3rd, 2025. Welcome. Let's open up in a word of prayer. Father God, we thank you for your word and we bless your word. We pray that your word does not return void. And I pray that the hearts of the listeners will respond to this teaching by the anointing of your love in their hearts and minds. that they become to realize and experience your love, that they actually understand it, receive it, and walk in it. In the name of Jesus, we pray. Amen. Amen. Amen. God bless you. Thank you for being here today. This teaching, I'm calling it experience his love. So, we're going to be experiencing the love of Christ. We're going to start here in John 3:16. Probably the most famous quot of scripture of all time. For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that whosoever believeth in him should not perish but have everlasting life. So we're going to talk about his love, God's love, not what we think love is or love should be. We're going to go to the scriptures and we're going to see what his love is. Now uh as a reminder for those who are new and listening, every bolded word is the actual word in the King James version. That's what the King James translators use when translating from Hebrew or Greek into English. And then anything in parenthesis afterwards is uh other words that I found through the Hebrews the Strongs Hebrews Greek dictionary. So in this case, if you could take a look at the word love here, it's agapeo is how they pronounce it. Um it says it's um to love in a social or moral sense be loved. So social moral sense type of love and remember the word love covers a whole bunch of meanings in the scripture. So you have to go look at the original text to understand what it means. So in the original text is telling you uh in a social or moral sense what is that? Well, it's like a mother gives birth and it is now her obligation to take care of that child. Well, in a social moral sense, God is obligated to take care of us because he birthed us. He He's the one who created this world. So, he says here, and I want you to catch this. It says, "For God so loved the world." And some of us might look at this world and go, "Ah, really? Because sin has corrupted this world so much to the sense of that we don't know what his love is like. And until you experience it, until you realize it, when he went to the cross and he died for us, he shed his blood. He gave his blood. when it clicks in here, it's like he did that and all of a sudden something starts to happen. There's a transformation and a change that begins to happen. So, we're going to build that in scripture. Let's let's look at who Jesus Christ is in Revelation 15. And from Jesus Christ, this is John uh the beloved writing the book of Revelation. and from Jesus Christ who is the faithful witness and the first begotten of the dead and the prince of the kings of the earth unto him that loved and washed us from our sins in his own blood. Here's that same word, love. Social moral sense. He loved us. And John is saying, look, he's the one who lo loved us so much. He shed his blood. He washed us from our sins, our offenses through his blood. He had to shed blood. You know, think of it like this. When you get a paper cut and it hurts, it stings, and you're just like, "Oh." Or if you're a quilter or crafter like I am and you're using your pins and you poke your finger and you're just like, "Oh, and maybe a little pinch of blood come out, a little droplet, little tiny droplet is painful." But to Christ who experienced more than just pain on that cross for the first time. You know I if you go back to Genesis 1 and God says let there be light. John 1 says in the beginning was the word and the word was with God and the word was God. Paraphrase it. You can go look it up. Jesus was with God at that time. Jesus a part of God. So you had God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. They're all in one. Jesus was always a part of God. Then Jesus entered his own creation. And he did it so he could shed his blood, but he had to do it as a human being. So he became born as a man, came down here, and he experienced it on the cross. He experienced the pain and the suffering that we all went through. He's God. He's the creator. But he came down to do what he needed to do and to fulfill the law. God said, "Here's the ten commandments. I know you can't keep them. I want you to try your best." But basically, the ten commandments told us we're sinners. So when Jesus came, he says, "Now I give you a new commandment to love one another like he loves." So how can you love like this? What is love? What is his love? Surprisingly, and maybe not to some, but to those that aren't aware of the scriptures, Paul describes love. He describes what it's not and then he describes what it is. We're going to go through First Corinthians 13 here in detail and then I'm going to show you how you can work your mind to experience that love because it takes the anointing of the Holy Spirit. Lisa can't make you experience it. You can't even make yourself. But you can ask God, you can chase God. You can find God. And you can experience his love. And it will change you. It It will automatically change you. So let's start here in 1 Corinthians 13 1 and 2. He says, "Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels. Though I speak with the tongues of men and angels." So you speak like a man or a human being or a woman and you speak like I am speaking right now. And then it says also to speak with the tongues of angels. Speaking in tongues. So you've got an anointing on you if you can speak like that. But then all of a sudden it says and have not charity. That word charity is agape and it is love. Now notice what this love says that it's an affection or benevolence. Specifically a love feast charity says benevolence. Affection. This is the type of love that you want to help somebody. You want to bless them. You're there supporting them. uh you pray with them. This is like a ministry type of love if you will. And it's saying here listen if you talk with tongues of men and you talk with the tongues of angels but you don't have affection or benevolence I am become as a sounding brass or a tinkling symbol. It clashes because you're not showing the love with your actions. You see, your mind says, "Oh, I want to be a ministry. I want to do this. I want to help God. I want to get his word out there." But if you're not experiencing his love, you haven't experienced it yet. You kind of it clashes. You have to experience his love. And he continues to say in verse two, "And though I have the gift of prophecy." And you know, if you go back to look at King Saul, King Saul prophesied, but then he went and saw Medium. The Lord left him. He was tormented by demons at that point. But he prophesied at that time. It says here, "And though I have the gift of prophecy and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, what if I understand everything about the scriptures and I'm here to teach it all to you, which by the way, I don't and I can't. I have to just re rely on the Holy Spirit. It's all I can do. Can't do anything else." says uh and all knowledge and though I have all faith and even to walk in faith which by the way believing in Christ is walking in faith. You have all that faith, you do all this stuff, you have this knowledge, you understand all mysteries, you have the gift of prophecy, you can remove mountains, but you don't have charity, which is that same definition above agape, the affection or benevolence. I am nothing. I I'm nothing. You have to experience his love before you go walk into ministry is what Paul is saying here. You want to talk in tongues. You want to walk in the gift of prophecy. You want to minister to people. You want to help them. But if you're not doing it from a heart of love, and I'm not talking about an obligation love here. We're talking about a true benevolence. You want to bless them. No strings attached. You want to do this because you love God and he's changed you. It's like helping your enemy. Something that most humans can't do until they experience God's love and then it changes all changes everything. Let's go to verse three. And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor and though I give my body to be burned but have not charity. Look at there. Agape. We're talking about affection or benevolence. It profitth me nothing. Let's talk about profiting from Christ and his presence. You know, there's scripture that talks about where when you get up to heaven, all the things around you that you did on the earth that is either equal to hay or wood. Um, some of it could be gold, some of it could be silver, but all of that stuff gets burned. What doesn't melt or what doesn't burn away would be your silvers and gold and all that kind of stuff. So, you want to profit that. What is that? Well, a crown of salvation. Let's say you get saved. You put on a crown of salvation that goes through that fire. It lasts. It still will come out of that fire in whatever material it's made out of for gold or silver. If it was made out of wood, stubble, hay, it's going to burn. It profitth you nothing unless it's made of gold and silver. By the way, his love is pure gold. You want to experience is not just for personal growth, but it's for you to minister to others and to help them. And when you do it out of love, profit goes into your account in heaven. That's what this is about. He's profited you nothing. But you can get profit from it in your heavenly bank account. That's how that works. That's what this is about. You know, and experiencing this love can just be for personal growth. But when you're given a talent and God is requiring you, he's going to you're the steward of that talent. He's going to ask you, "What did you do with the talent I gave you?" I just taught about being a good steward in the last teaching. You can go check that out. I telling you, as you humble yourself before the Lord and you let that love transform you, you become a different person and your profit goes to your heavenly bank account which is for eternity here on the earth. It's not eternal. Verse four, charity ser now. Okay, so we just finished talking about what love isn't. You see, I can help feed the poor. I can do all that. That's not love. It profitth you nothing because you don't have his love in you. So now he's going to describe what love is. Look at this. Charity suffereth long. This is that affection, benevolence, agape love suffer suffereth long. It doesn't get mad. In other words, it puts up it tolerates over and over and over again. And I can tell you right now, there are many Christians who just can't even handle somebody cutting them off on the freeway without displaying and making sure that the other knows. And I'm guilty of that. So, I'm not just preaching to you and preaching to myself here, okay? But this is what he says. Charity suffereth long and is kind. Now, what is kindness? Because if you're feeding the poor, you think, "Oh, that's just being kind." No, that's making a life saved to live another day, to have another chance to accept Christ in their heart if they're a non-believer. That's kindness is giving somebody who has who deserves no kindness, who deserves no love. You're giving it to them. You're showing it to them. You're showing it through your emotion. You're showing it by your actions. You don't even have to say a word. You're just in their presence. You're listening to them. You're holding their hands. You're putting your arms around them. There's there's something about that. And this is being identified here. And it's kind charity. Envyth not. Hey, I'm glad you got that. I'm glad you're blessed. Do you know how many people are not truly glad that you either bought a house or you got a bonus? They're jealous. They're trying to think, "How come they got it and I didn't?" That's the first thought they got. That's not love. Love is being well pleased with your brethren to say, "Hey, look. Congratulations. I'm so glad that you got that." And there's no envy, no jealousy there. That's love. Charity vaunteth not itself. Is not puffed up. It's not full of vain. It's not about me me. Look what I did. I fed the poor. That's not love. That's not even kindness. That's self vanity. And that is puffing yourself up. And as the the scriptures telling you, that's not what love is. Doesn't do that. And this is where we need to have a transformation and a change. Let's finish chapter 13 because I really want you to see how this this works. doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinkketh no evil. There's no evil agenda when you go to do something good. You're just doing it out of the goodness of your heart because you love God and you just you're just saying, "Lord, I love you so much that I want to help these people. I can see they need help." And you pray. You pray in the secret place. And you go help them. And God exposes that in the open. what you did in secret, he exposes in the open. That's scriptural. You can go look that up. Says it rejoices not in iniquity. Do you know you know um there's been things that have happened to people. I'm not going to name anything specific, but people are glad and they put it in writing rejoicing. You know, like when Hamas killed all those people, there's a classic example. They were joyful and singing in the streets for somebody's pain and suffering. Look, it says here, "Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but they were so happy for the sin and the pain and the killings that they did. They were rejoicing." That is not love. That is not love. That's not what charity does. But rejoicth in the truth. So when the truth comes out, and we're talking not your perception of truth, we're actually talking about truth itself. When it comes out, if you love God and God loves you, you have experienced his love, you're going to rejoice in that. You're going to say, "Finally, the the truth is coming out. It's being exposed." And you're very glad about that. there may not be any consequences or if somebody did sin, hey, let me pray for them. Lord, I'm gonna pray for them. I'm going to forgive them. I'm going to ask you to forgive them there. See, there's a difference. This is experiences. Love beareth all things, believeth all things, hope all things, endureth all things. You see, love will get you through everything. When you experience his love, it will get you through everything. That is key right here. That is understanding this love. Understand that. Know that you're moving in a different light. Your motives have changed. The inside of you has changed. You're not the same person you were one year ago, 5 years ago, 10 years ago, 25 years ago. Look at verse eight. Charity. Here it is. Agape never faileth. But whether there be prophecies, they shall fail. Whether there be tongues, they shall cease. Whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away. For we know in part, we prophesy in part. But when that which is perfect or complete is come, then that which is in part shall be done away. So, he's telling us straight off the bat, you know, you can walk in all the holiness you want to walk, but I'm going to tell you right now, if you don't have the attitude of love, if there wasn't that transformation that took place, you're not walking in the right path with God. Now, does that mean anything's wrong with you? It just means you're not profiting from it. It means that you're sounding like a clanging symbol because everybody around you can sense it. know it, hear it in their spirit. You're playing church or you know, and a lot of people go to church thinking that's, hey, I got my love. God loves me. I got a preaching in today or or I got I learned something new from the Bible today. Woohoo. I'm going to tell you right now, that's not allowing love to transform you. You need to experience this. Finish off chapter 13, uh, verse 11. When I was a child, I spake as a child. I understood as a child, I thought as a child. But when I became a man, I put away childish things. You see, he's telling you the process here, you became a believer. And when you became a believer, it's childlike, very simple. You got simple faith, your understanding. But as you grow and as you become mature in Christ, as you begin to walk in prophecy, speaking in tongues, as you begin to do that, something changes. He's telling you, you're putting away childish things. Then he says here in verse 12, for now we see through a glass darkly, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then shall I know even as also I am known. Knowledge plays a huge role in understanding God's love. When we started off with John 3:16, you become aware and have the knowledge that God came. For God so loved the world, this is why he came. You immediately know that knowledge. You immediately have that knowledge. This is where you begin to experience it. You may not comprehend, but you know it down inside. And what begins to happen is you try to go into ministry, you try to talk in tongues, you try to do all this, but without the love transforming you without the experience, without that knowledge, you can't make the transformation that you need. You're wondering and you know when you don't have the love of God he by the way he loves you you just don't understand and you have not received it. This is on you putting up a shield keeping yourself away from the pressure of that. Okay from his love. When you are doing that it doesn't there's a lot of things that don't make sense to you still. It's not that you're not a believer. It's the fact that you just don't you haven't opened up your heart to receive and experience his love yet. Because see, once you understand his love, you understand how much he puts you first. You begin to understand the scriptures in a whole new way because these scriptures are for your benefit. And then you begin to absorb the transformation begins to change. You get hungry for the Lord and it it changes you. And look what Paul says here. The last verse of 1 Corinthians 13. He says, "Now abidth faith, hope, charity, there's that agape, affection, or benevolence." These three, but the greatest of these is charity. You see, as the believer in Christ, you walk in faith because it takes faith to walk with God. Then it says you have hope because you're hoping he's returning to get you out of this mess because sometimes this world is bad. But he says, what's the most important? Charity is the greatest. Love is the greatest because that's what transforms you. That's what makes the change. Look at what it says here in Psalm 51:10. Create in me a clean heart, oh God, and renew a right spirit within me. It says to be new, rebuild. You see, you've been a part of this world, but you haven't experienced this love. You got to have that experience which rebuilds your heart. What's your heart? Your thoughts, your emotions. That's your heart. And it rebuilds it. It changes it. You and you're allowing God to do you open up the door because see, you need to experience it. You need to want it. You need to make the change and the effort to understand it. You got to have the knowledge of what his love, you know, when he says, "For God so loved the world." What does that mean to you? Do you just take it? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Like for granted. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. He loved me. You have not experienced love if that's how you see that scripture. That scripture should resonate in your heart. For God so loved the world. Oh, that includes me. When you start to think like that, that transforms your mind. Look at what it says here. Romans 12:1 and2. I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God. You see, God moved by love. He loves so much that he gave his only begotten son to redeem us. That's his mercies. says, "I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service." He's saying, "Let the love come into your heart." It is your reasonable service because this is what's going to transform you. Look what he says in verse two. And be not conformed to this world, but be transformed. You got to experience the love to let it transform you. Otherwise, it means something. Blah blah blah blah. Yeah, it's like you not being a good steward with the talents that God gave you that I just finished teaching last week. And then it says, uh, but being transformed by the renewing, the renovation of your mind. This has to change. Stinking thinking has to go away. This comes now down to I'm going to think what scripture tells me. I'm going to put God first. I choose God first. I walk in goodness first. I'm not going to choose to do things evil. And when you make that decision, a mental decision in your mind, you speak it out. By the way, if you go back and look at the history of Queen Victoria, she chose says, "I'm going to be good. I choose to be a good queen. She verbally spoke it. It is documented. And she ended up having such a beautiful kingdom." This is what God is trying to teach us. You choose to in your mind decide to be good. decide to experience his love. You know, Lord, I want to understand your love. Ask him. Go to him and say, "Help me understand this love. Show me this love." Says, "Then he renews your mind." He's going to renovate it so that you don't think the old way. You're going to think the new way. And look what he says. The goal of this is that ye may prove or test what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God. You can't experience it or understand it or know it without having the experience of his love. That love is what that knowledge of that love is one going to manifest in you in a way where you begin to speak the words. Lord create in me a new heart. Cleanse me. Help me not have that stinking thinking. I don't want to think that way anymore, Lord. I want to think positive. I want to think good thoughts. I want to have that faith and that hope, but I really want to show and demonstrate your love. How do I do this? Psalm 91 tells us to dwell in the secret place with the Lord. Right now, I'm going to tell you right now, getting into the secret place with the Lord is where you're the most likely going to experience his love. of God can demonstrate his love wherever and and you may just experience in whatever setting the Lord sets for you something that you needed to see something that you something in your heart something in your mind in your spirit knew it needed to see that and you're going to be like that was God and he demonstrated his love for me that and that is where you begin to experience it you begin to realize for God so loved the world and he loved so much through his obligation. He could have finished things off at Noah's flood even earlier than that. He could have said, "You know what? This went this was a bad idea and just checked it all out the window and decided to stop the whole thing." But you know what kept him from doing that? his obligation, his social moral sense, his love. He he said to himself, "I love this world so much." And in that moment as he said that, you know, he he saw Adam, he saw Eve, he saw sin, but he saw his son, he saw his salvation, he saw Lisa, and he said, "I got to save this world. This is worth saving. This is how valuable we are." You see, to experience that love is to realize how valuable you are. This is why the devil attacks so much. He is trying to lie to you. He's trying to steal from you the love of God. This is why it is important that you take action by creating an environment where it's just you and God and say, "Lord, I want to experience your love. I want you to change me because one, I want to repay back to you what you've done for me. But most importantly, I want to get as many people saved because I don't want anyone to go to hell. Just like God doesn't want anyone to go hell to hell. He transform you. He changes you. That's what God does. Ah, so awesome. Let's close in a word of prayer. Father God, we love you and we thank you for your word. I pray that each and every one of us who heard this message will take that time to go and experience your love. That you will show us the love and that we would understand it. Understand what Christ did on the cross. Experience that. Live by it and then show the world what you meant when you said you loved us. Thank you Lord for your word. In the name of Jesus we pray. Amen. Amen. Amen. God bless you and I'll see you in the next teaching. Home Previous Next
- EVE - RESTORING DYSFUNCTIONAL RELATIONSHIPS | House of Faith Ministries (HoFM)
EVE - RESTORING DYSFUNCTIONAL RELATIONSHIPS To teach how God’s design for relationships can be restored when dysfunction arises, using the biblical accounts of Adam, Eve, Cain, and Abel. The message emphasizes the authority believers have through Christ to overcome sin, heal brokenness, and walk in self-control by applying confession, forgiveness, and communion with God. EVE - RESTORING DYSFUNCTIONAL RELATIONSHIPS Minister Lisa Kane May 23, 2024 Objective: To teach how God’s design for relationships can be restored when dysfunction arises, using the biblical accounts of Adam, Eve, Cain, and Abel. The message emphasizes the authority believers have through Christ to overcome sin, heal brokenness, and walk in self-control by applying confession, forgiveness, and communion with God. Synopsis: In this third teaching on Eve within the Women in the Bible series, Lisa Kane explores the theme of Restoring Dysfunctional Relationships. She begins with a review of God’s perfect design for relationships in creation, showing how Adam and Eve’s formation reflects divine order, covering, and mutual submission under Christ. This pattern extends to all areas of life—marriage, family, friendships, and even workplace connections. The message then shifts to the account of Cain and Abel as an example of dysfunction. Cain’s rejection of God’s requirement for a blood sacrifice led to offense, anger, and ultimately murder. Lisa highlights how God warned Cain that sin was at the door, but also gave him the authority to rule over it. The teaching shows that dysfunction often begins within the individual when hurt and anger go unchecked, but restoration is possible through Christ. Key steps are outlined: Confession of Jesus as Lord brings deliverance, healing, and salvation. Holy Communion reminds believers of Christ’s sacrifice, applying the broken body for healing and the blood for cleansing. Forgiveness and letting go of anger stop sin in its tracks. Self-control (temperance), a fruit of the Spirit, empowers believers to walk in love, peace, and restoration. Lisa emphasizes that relationships—whether with family, spouses, coworkers, or oneself—can be healed by bringing them back under Christ’s covering. Through prayer, confession, and reliance on the Spirit, dysfunctional patterns are broken, sin is defeated, and God’s perfect design for relationships is restored. Inspired Teaching - Written and/or Transcribed from Video Above: Hello and welcome to the House of Faith Ministries. I'm Lisa Kane. I'm recording this on Thursday, May 23rd, 2024. Welcome. I'm still in the Women of Bible, Women in the Bible series, and I'm still in Eve. This will be the third message regarding Eve. But wow, the power and all the revelation coming out of this is incredible. This one is called Restoring Dysfunctional Relationships. Let's open up 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. We pray that your word is so powerful and strong that it impacts our lives and we apply it to our lives and live your word and have great relationships with one another, with ourselves and with you in the name of Jesus. Amen. So to recap, the first message I taught about Eve was being born again, showing you how Jesus set up the born again process beginning with her very neat revelation. You might want to go check that out. The last message or second message that I taught regarding Eve was the perfect relationship that God established with us, which I'm going to do a quick recap here. And then this one is about dysfunctional relationships, restoring that dysfunctional relationship. So, let's go to our opening scripture because I want to do a quick recap here. Uh, Genesis 1:27. So, God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him. Male and female created he them. So male and female make up the image of God. Now how they were formed, Adam and Eve, how they were created teaches us what the perfect relationship is. So Adam was formed in Genesis 2:7. And the Lord God formed man of the dust and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life and man became a living soul. So that's how Adam was created. And then Eve in Genesis 2:21-24, the Lord God caused the deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept, and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof. And the rib which the Lord God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto man. And Adam said, "This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh. She shall be called woman, because she was taken out of man. And therefore shall a man leave his father and and his mother and shall cleave unto his wife and they shall be one flesh. So basically what you're seeing here is Adam's covering goes upon her. So it's like his arm is over her shoulders and then she is tucked right in next to his heart which is protected by the rib cage. Since she's made from the rib, she's part of protector over him. She protects his vitals on the inside. She prays for him. And I showed you in last week's message of teaching how to have the perfect relationship, how to submit to one another. So you'll see that Adam leaves his parents. He's going to cleave to his wife. But both male and female have to look to Christ. Christ is who we follow. So we let go of the traditions of our parents. We cling to Christ. Christ is head of the church. Christ is head of the man. Man is head of the woman. It is a hierarchy power of authority that goes on him. But in that perfect relationship, she submits unto him. She submits unto God. He submits unto God. He loves her and covers her. So you have this established perfect relationship that God has set for us to follow. And this applies to siblings, parents, grandparents, to one another, between you and your boss, between you and your best friend, between you and yourself, and between you and God. This is a relationship that he has established. And how do you have a relationship? You talk with one another. You work it out. You open up the word of God and apply the scriptures. So, for instance, if you do what we taught last week, you need to have a relationship with God first. That means you got to set a time aside for him. Set time aside for him. You need to be praying and you need to be opening up the word of God and you need to be learning it, speaking it and let it just manifest out of you. Now that's between now you apply that in every one of your relationships, mother, daughter, father, daughter, uh siblings and so forth. Well, unfortunately, we have what's called dysfunctional relationships. And it always starts with you, me, the individual, because we sabotage our relationships either knowingly or unknowingly. So, I'm going to show you the perfect dysfunctional relationship where God shows us we have authority over fixing that and correcting it. This is awesome. Talk about the revelation that came out of Eve. This is absolutely incredible. So, let's go see Cain and Abel. Perfect dysfunctional relationship if there ever was one. Genesis 4:4-7. And Abel, he also brought of the first lanes of his flock and of the fat thereof. And the Lord had respect unto Abel and to his offering. Now, that word respect there means to regard, spare, turn. Abel brought a blood sacrifice to God. He took his firstborn of his cattle, whatever animals that he had, he brought that to God and he did a burnt offering to God and he sacrificed them. He shed blood and God was like, "Yeah, I like this. This is what needs to be done." Well, Cain brought he went out and harvested his fruits and vegetables and he brought baskets, however many, but he brought those to God representing his work. He toiled the ground and he worked hard for that. He sweated and God said, "Nope." Because God, what God is saying here is, "I don't want your works. Your works are not going to save you." Do you see the salvation message still through here? Being born again, this all connects together. I hope you guys watch all three messages together. This is incredible. So here God is telling Cain, you cannot save yourself with your works. You have to do what your brother did. Bring the blood sacrifice. But something happens here that causes a relationship to fall. Let's go look at that because Cain is very offended here. Uh verse five, but Cain but unto Cain and to his offer he had not respect and Cain was very wroth and his countenance fell. And the Lord said unto Cain, "Why art thou wroth?" And that word wroth there means glow, grow, warm anger. In other words, he was angry inside so much that his blood pressure is rising and his shade of color is changing. He's now glowing. He's angry. God rejected him. Now, in a dysfunctional relationship, a lot of things goes on. A lot of things take place and happen here where uh you're hurt. It usually starts with you're getting hurt. Somebody didn't like something you said or did. You didn't mean it that way. And and it usually starts with some little spark like that. And instead of showing the authority and dealing with it, which I'm going to show you here what God says, you get angry. Now, we can get angry. The issue is after you get angry, you need to have some self-control and bring that anger back unto God. We're going to see how Cain did not do that. So look at this and I'm going to show you how to bring it back. So why are thou So the Lord said unto Cain, "Why are thou wroth and why is thy countenance fallen?" So verse seven, this is God talking to Cain still. If thou doest well, happy, successful, right? See, if you did the right thing, you're going to be successful. You're going to be in the right standing. It's going to be good. It's going to be well. But you see, we don't always do the right thing. This is us trying to sabotage things because it's the sin that is waring inside of us doing this. So he says, "And if thou doest not well, sin lith at the door, and unto thee shall be his desire." That's sin desiring stretching out, trying to reach through the door to get you, and thou shalt rule over him. You have rule and dominion over sin on the other side of the door is what God is saying here. So in other words, as soon as you get angry, you open the door and sin is right there on the other side, but sin is pulling its arm through the door and is trying to grab you. So you're in this moment, this heated moment of anger, and you are in a state of mind where you need to get some self-control. And we're going to talk about getting some self-control here in a moment. Somebody didn't like something you said. They don't like the way you look. They're in a bad mood today. So, they don't want to have anything to do with you and your happiness. You see, there are all kinds of things that set off or trigger a person. Now, if you're the one being triggered, then it's a demonic. It is sin at the door. And it is sin you need to deal with. And what takes care of sin? Abel established that by the sacrifice of the blood because life is in the blood. Leviticus, let's go there. Look at Leviticus 17:11. For the life of the flesh is in the blood, and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement to cover or cancel for your souls. For it is the blood that maketh an atonement for the soul. So you see, you can get angry, but you got to come back to the blood. You got to go back to Abel. So in other words, do all the works that you want to do, but it ain't going to do you anything. You can try so hard to speak the right words. You can try so hard to bury that anger. You can try so hard to not be a trigger. You can drink as many cups of coffee as you want, thinking that might make you a little happier and give you the energy that you need. But it comes back to the blood. And what do you do with the blood? You have to come back to the cross to holy communion. Now, it starts with confession. And I want you to remember this because now I'm going to take you through some steps of how to get back into the right relationship with God or with yourself or with your lover or with your spouse or with your brother or sister with your parent, your grandparent or with businesses or with your life with you yourself. If you argue with yourself, I typically don't argue with myself, but I do have conversations with myself. I talk to myself all the time. But I give it to the Lord and I just I look and it helps me bounce off the thoughts and ideas with the word of God. That's what I use that for. But however you want to have your relationships, it's going to come back to you need to make a sacrifice of blood. Well, hold on. Christ made the sacrifice of blood. So it takes back going to the cross. And it starts with confession. And remember, salvation is through the confession of the mouth. This is what delivers. This is what heals. This is what saves. Now I want you to see this. Romans 10:9 says that if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus. He's saying you got to speak it out loud. Jesus. So if Cain, he could have, you know what Cain could have done was, I'm sorry, Lord, I did this wrong. Please forgive me. And you know what? God would have done it and it would have been established. Would have been able to go on. Abel Abel would not have been killed. You see, Cain was so angry and sin came through the door, grabbed a hold of him. He could not let it go because he did not confess, he ends up murdering Abel. And because now Abel's blood is crying out to God, avenge me. God knew exactly what happened. God told Cain exactly. You see, Adam and Eve had been teaching Cain and Abel the ways of God. They're raising their children up in the ways of God. Abel was doing it right. Abel got the message. He knew it was blood. Cain said, "Well, you know what? I'm going to one up him and I'm going to work hard for this and God's going to love it." But he was wrong. And instead of confessing, he just got angry and and notice he was angry at God. But he couldn't do anything to God. So, he went after Abel. This is when you're in anger, you lash out at anyone who didn't even have anything to do with why you're angry. You just lash at them. You're a mean, ugly person on the inside. This is why I said it starts with you on the inside. So, if somebody's lashing out at you, you're the one in the self-control, hopefully, or you're the one that's lashing out. Whatever role you're in, it starts with confession. Let's go back to the scripture that if thou shalt confess with confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus and shall believe in thine heart that God raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. Look at the word saved. Delivered, protected, healed, preserved, whole. Cain could have come back and had forgiveness and mercy. Instead, he chose not to. So now once you confess Jesus over your life and you can confess Jesus over your anger, your hatred, and and the hurt you're feeling, you're hurt. Most people are lashing out because somebody hurt them for one reason or another. Um attacked them, rejected them, rejected their kind of love, uh didn't like the, you know, they were in love with you initially, got what they wanted, and then left you in the wind. There's lots of relationships like that. Uh if your family, money becomes an issue, you guys are fighting against that. Um but it's sin that's come in and it starts with confessing Jesus Lord as Lord of your s of your soul. Jesus over your soul. Jesus over your mouth. Jesus over your hate. Jesus over your unforgiveness. You see, part of the relationship is to forgive. And in order to forgive, you need to have self-control. So, we're going to get into that here in just a moment, but I want you to see how holy communion takes us back to the cross to restore us. And I want you to catch this is very powerful. 1 Corinthians 11:24 and 25. And when he had given thanks, he broke it and said, "Take, eat. This is my body which is broken for you. This do in remembrance of me." He's talking about the bread. So, he's taking bread. He's breaking pieces of of it off and he shares it at the table there with his apostles uh and his disciples and they are taking the bread and they're eating it in remembrance of what Christ is going to do on the cross. So Jesus is telling us and Paul's reiterating here when you do this, you do this in remembrance of Christ. So you confess Jesus as your Lord and Savior, but you're going to recognize that Christ went to the cross for your healing, your deliverance. See, you are healed spiritually and physically by the broken bread. You're healed physically because of the stripes. By his stripes, you were healed. You're also healed because of spiritually. If you're in anger, you can let go of the anger by partaking and taking the bread, the bread. Taking Christ, bringing Christ back into you. You're saying, "Jesus, I remember you in the cross. Jesus, I'm taking your bread into my body to restore and heal me spiritually and physically because I need it because I'm angry. I'm hurt. Somebody's hurt me and I'm upset about it. I need your help. This is how you take your dysfunctional relationship back to Christ. Now look what he says about the blood. Verse 25. After the same manner also he took the cup when he as saying, "This cup is the new testament covenant in my blood. This do ye as often as you drink it in remembrance of me. Covenant. You see, Jesus came and made a new covenant with mankind. Now remember back in the days before the flood, they were dealing with innocence and God judged them with the flood. So that part was already taken. But the new covenant is Christ through his blood. God has been asking for blood this entire time. Now the blood is where life is and Christ is life. And remember, I proved in the first teaching that Christ is the one who said, "Let there be light." He's the one who's forming man and manifesting life in them because Christ is life. The word became flesh and the word was with God in the beginning. John 1:1. This is Christ manifesting life. So what you do when you take the holy communion, you're saying, "Christ the life, come back into me. heal me, restore me physically, spiritually, and let the blood cleanse me because that's what the blood does. Now remember, and let's go look at how the principle works here. I want you to see this. Romans 7:21-25. And I find then a law, a principle that when I would do good, evil is present with me. For I delight or rejoice in the law of God after the inward man. I think I hit that too many times. Let's go back. There you go. But I see another law principle in my members waring against or attacking destroying the law of my mind and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members. Remember sin is at the door. The door opened because of the anger. So there's a war going on because we were born into sin. You see Cain hadn't sinned yet. But we were born on the other side of the door. Sin was let in when Adam and Eve sinned. So the door was open and Cain had an opportunity to avoid it and he didn't. Again, we have an opportunity to avoid a dysfunctional relationship if we choose to walk away from sin, which means confess Jesus as our Lord and Savior. Take of the cup, the broken bread, and the blood. bring life back into our bodies. Forgive. We have to let it go. That's what the word forgive means, by the way, is to let go of the anger. You could be all right and justify it all you want, but I'm going to tell you right now, that don't mean a thing. You let the sin in. And you have to deal with the sin. Doesn't matter if you're right. You got angry and you felt justified. You still let in sin. You have to deal with that sin. And to do that, you have to do this battle. Look what Paul's describing it as. I want you to see this. This is so very powerful. He says, "But I see another law in my members, waring against the law of my mind and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members. Oh wretched man that I am. Who shall deliver rescue me from the body of this death? I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord." So then with the mind, the intellect, I myself serve the law of God, but with the flesh, the law of sin. So you see, there's a battle going on. You've got sin that you have to deal with that's in the flesh. But your mind can shut that door by calling, confessing Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior because Jesus is the one who fulfilled all of this. He's the one who applied the perfect blood to the mercy seat in the ark of the covenant. So because of that the satisfaction, God had satisfaction with the blood of Jesus. It met the law. It fulfilled it. It was done. So now all we have is grace, confession of Jesus as our Lord and Savior and letting it go. We have the authority. You saw that God gave the authority to Cain to dominion and to have dominion over sin. And the best part of it is is after you do this, even though you're still fighting in that flesh and you're still struggling, because we struggle every day with the attacks on our mind, we can sometimes fantasize about things that happen in relationships that don't. This is why some of us, I'm certain my man is cheating on me or doing this or doing that. You have no proof. You think it. You got to capture your mind and get it under self-control. Look at what he says though. As soon as you confess Jesus, because that was Romans 7, the last end of the verse of Romans 7. Now we're in Romans 8:1 and2. It says, "There is therefore now no condemnation. There's no verdict to them which are in Christ Jesus." You see, sin is the devil going to the courtroom of God and saying, "See, he did this. He did this. He did this." Christ is saying, "I forgive. I forgive. I forgive." And if you're going to be Christlike, you need to forgive yourself of these hatred, sinful uh relationships that you're sabotaging. You have to forgive yourself. You've got to for let Christ forgive you. And then you have to have this mindset. Look, it says, "Now there is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the spirit." See, you confess Jesus. Now you walk in the spirit. Because when you get water baptized, you're watered. You go under in the water, you come up in the spirit. So you can see how being born again, confessing Jesus, getting baptized, having holy communion, and coming up in the spirit, walking in the spirit, this is you having a perfect relationship with Christ. Your mind can say, "Now there is no condemnation because I'm in Christ Jesus and I'm walking after the spirit." Verse two, for the law of the spirit of life in Christ Jesus, For the law of the spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death. Death. You are liberated from sin and death. Cain wandered the rest of his life wandered the wilderness and was never satisfied and never was able to get what he needed out of the ground. He wandered and he was destroyed. That was his life. You do not want that kind of life. You do not live in the wilderness. You are now liberated because there is no more condemnation. Oh death. Oh death, where is your sting? You see, you're saved the moment you confess Jesus. You're saved spiritually, eternally in heaven. But you're also saved out of those dysfunctional relationships. You're saved out of the sickness that comes from it in your flesh. You are saved because you confess Jesus. You confess Jesus. You confess Jesus and you forgive and you let it go. And you've taken the Holy Communion, which is what restores you every time because it reminds you to go back to the cross every single time. Now, here's the key. Because you want to have that self-control. Look, Galatians 5:22 and 23. But the fruit of the spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance. Against such against such there is no law. Temperance is self-control. All of these fruits should be manifesting out of you. You see, you should be able to confess Jesus and ask God to come into your heart and ask for the gift, the fruits of the spirit. Say, "Lord, I need some self-control. Help me not get angry. Help my mind stay focused on you. I don't want to be fantasizing about what someone could be doing behind my back or someone's lying and cheating behind my back." Or if I think that, then I should be praying for them, forgiving them and giving them to Christ and then forgive myself. That is the type of relationship that Christ has for us today. So if you are the one that's acting out, you need to confess and bring it back to the Lord. If you're the one confessing, then when someone lashes out to you, you need to pray for them and give them to Christ and let it go. And it stops sin in its tracks. But the self-control is what you need so you don't lash out in anger. Because if you're lashing out in anger, all you're doing is just feeding the sin with fire and it's just gonna because that's what it does. But remember, let's go back to Cain. Let's go back to what God said. He says, "If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted? And if thou doest not well, sin lith at the door. And unto thee shall be his desire." See, sin wants to get us. and thou shalt rule over him. You have dominion over sin. You have the authority. All you got to do is say, "Jesus, help me. Jesus, help me have self-control. Jesus, keep me from temptation." The Lord's Prayer. Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. and forgive us our debts as we forgive those uh forgive us our as we forgive those the debtors against us keep us from evil and deliver us keep us from the temptations and deliver us I'm paraphrasing that you can go look it up I just it's an impromptu thing I did here so I don't have the scripture here but I encourage you to go read that prayer talk to God establish your relationship with him so he works in you a good work and you're helping him because confessing Jesus over your anger, your hatred, your your unforgiveness, even the right thinking. You think you're right. Hey, God's always going to find something wrong with you. We're we're in the flesh. We're human. But what we can do is confess Jesus, praise him, worship him, walk with him, have that holy communion so that we stay reminded of what he did on the cross, reminded of the dominion over sin that he has given us. We have the right to fight sin off. And it's an ongoing battle. Which means though, we can have a right to the perfect relationship that God designed for us. The man's covering over us. He's not beating us because we're in the crook of his arm. He loves us. We're protecting his vitals by praying and keeping sin out. praying for our man, praying for our woman. Because we go to God with our issues. We go to God with our relationships. We say, "In Jesus, I pray for my husband. In the name of Jesus, I pray for my wife. In the name of Jesus, I pray for my children. In the name of Jesus, I pray for my parents. In the name of Jesus, I pray for my siblings." And what's happening is you're looking to God, which is what the image of God, ma, male and female, have been created to do for that perfect relationship. So you can take the anger, the hatred, the the dysfunctional, sabotaged relationships around you and bring them right back to Jesus. Take your holy community to have that relationship with Christ. stand with Christ and put Christ first in your heart and in your mouth. Let Christ be spoken out first in your mouth because it's what you have a cloud of witnesses that are around you. So, I I wasn't going to go into this, but that cloud of witness is God. It's Jesus, the Holy Spirit, angels, demons. They're out there watching you and they take advantage of you. Especially demons, they're looking for the words that you're going to say that's going to let them have that door open for them so that sin can reach its hand out and grab you. Well, I'm shutting that door. I don't want sin there. Yeah, I'm I'm right about this relationship, but you know what? Uh-uh. Shutting the door. I'm going to go to Christ and just pray. I'm gonna let the spirit handle it because it's not my by works. It's by the blood and the spirit is came from the blood. Jesus established the church with water and blood and then he sent the spirit for the day of Pentecost right after that. That's how this works. This is the perfect relationship that you can have and bring it back to that perfect relationship. And I hope that you do that. Amen. Let's uh close in a word of prayer. Father God, we thank you for your word and we bless your word. You are mighty and holy. And I pray that we call upon the name of the Lord and are saved from anger, from hatred, from unforgiveness. And I pray that we have self-control to be able to confess Jesus over our relationships and that we can walk in that perfect relationship with you, Father God. For you truly are amazing, glorious, and faithful and wonderful. Oh Lord, we love you. Thank you, Lord. Let this message not be stolen by the devil. Let it stay in our minds and hearts and let us apply it in our lives in the name of Jesus. Amen. Amen. God bless you. I'll see you in the next message. Bye-bye. Home Previous Next
- YOU ARE A CHILD OF GOD | House of Faith Ministries (HoFM)
YOU ARE A CHILD OF GOD The objective of this teaching is to affirm believers in their identity as children of God through Christ Jesus. It seeks to build faith by showing that believers are not bound by fear or slavery but adopted as heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ. The teaching emphasizes deliverance, the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, and the authority given to every child of God to overcome sin, sickness, and oppression. YOU ARE A CHILD OF GOD Minister Lisa Kane November 24, 2024 Objective: The objective of this teaching is to affirm believers in their identity as children of God through Christ Jesus. It seeks to build faith by showing that believers are not bound by fear or slavery but adopted as heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ. The teaching emphasizes deliverance, the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, and the authority given to every child of God to overcome sin, sickness, and oppression. Synopsis: In this message, Lisa Kane draws from Romans 8:15–17, Galatians 3:25–27, and 1 John 3–5 to explain the powerful truth of spiritual adoption. Believers have not received a spirit of bondage but the Spirit of adoption, testifying that they are God’s children. Through this relationship, Christians are heirs with Christ, sharing in His glory and authority. The teaching explains how deliverance works as the Holy Spirit—described as a “current of air”—fills believers, replacing spirits of fear, anger, bitterness, and hatred. By recognizing their sonship and walking in partnership with the Spirit, Christians are transformed from within, strengthened to live victoriously, and empowered to cast out demons, heal the sick, and proclaim freedom. Water baptism, faith, and obedience are presented as key markers of this identity, not as empty rituals but as evidence of the Spirit’s anointing. Lisa highlights that being a child of God means walking in faith, loving one another as a moral and spiritual obligation, and demonstrating God’s power and authority in daily life. She also shares personal testimony of healing and deliverance through the anointing of the Holy Spirit as proof of this truth in action. Ultimately, this message encourages believers to rise above oppression, embrace their authority in Christ, and live as God’s royal priesthood. By faith, they overcome the world, because greater is He who is in them than he who is in the world.

Let's go to our opening uh scripture here in Romans 8:15. For ye have not received the spirit of bondage or slavery again to fear, which is alarm, fright, terror. But ye have received the spirit of adoption, the placing as the son, whereby we cry, "Aba, Father." Oh, how precious, how precious it is to be called a child of God. And we have that Ah, let's go to scripture because I really want to get this teaching across to you because I want to build your faith and I want to show you how you can be more than a conqueror. Amen. Amen. We're still in Romans and we're going to look at verses 16 and 17. the spirit which by the way when you get this teaching may take a little bit of time but when you get it you are going to feel a deliverance and it is going to cleanse you and it is just incredible you're going to be a little on the weepy side which is what I am today but this is because my spirit and my mind recognizes who I am to be called a child of So what happens though with deliverance is that there is a current of air or a spirit that infuses us. It comes through through us. The Holy Spirit anoints us. And that is what you're going to be seeing in this teaching. So look at what he says here. The spirit which the and the best description they can give for this by the way is a current of air. That's just what it's called. And when you go through deliverance, if you've ever seen a person get exercised and not Hollywood style, but in a real deliverance min uh ministry or anything like this, you're going to recognize that um releasing of air is part of the deliverance. So you can have a stronghold, a spirit of fear, let's say, and that spirit is in you. And when it gets cast out, whether by yourself or by a team of people, and they're casting out anger, bitter, hate, you're going to start coughing, sneezing, that's a current of air leaving your body. Well, we're given the Holy Spirit, which is a current of air that comes in to us. And that's what Paul is talking about here. He says, "The spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit." You see the inside with the Holy Spirit are partnering up together. And you can see you can do this with anger or hatred. But you can also do this with the Holy Spirit. And see by letting go of the fear, the anger, the hatred, the enviousness, the jealousy, bitterness, hate, you let all that go. You need to partner up with the spirit of God, the Holy Spirit. And this is where when you recognize that you're a child of God, the dominating spirit within your soul and body becomes the Holy Spirit and he transforms you on the inside. So Paul is clearly talking about this here in Romans. The spirit himself beareth witness with our spirit that we are children of God. He's going to describe here in just a moment uh other ways to to describe. But you will know you are a child of God simply because your spirit is partnering up with the Holy Spirit. You're going to feel the anointing. I I feel it as I I sit here and when I start to pray, I know he's right there and I know that I'm more than a conqueror with him in that spirit. You're going to see that here in the scripture. And I hope that with this knowledge you get it and that you grab on to it and you don't let go. Amen. That we are children of God. Verse 17. And if children then hes of God and joint hes together with Christ. If so be that we suffer with him that we may also that we may be also glorified together. Here is an interesting point. You see all the disciples, the apostles, they became martyrs in their time. Even Paul who wasn't a disciple became a martyr for Christ. And he's saying if we suffer, we glorify together. Jesus is glorified while the apostles, the disciples are glorified because they had the spirit in them and their spirit testified to that. testified to the world, allowed them to write scripture. Peter wrote first Peter and second Peter. Paul wrote most of the New Testament. The Holy Spirit work through the gospel writers, Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. Acts written by Luke. I It's incredible to see what the Holy Spirit did in them and caused them to do that. Jesus said, and I taught this a little bit in my last teaching, that we would do greater things than him because he had to go to the father in a way. He was kind of teasing us like, "Yeah, you know, you didn't beat me because I gave up and didn't do better. I just had to go deal with my father because he called me to go deal with him. So, you can beat me now." It's kind of like a a camaraderie um happiness between you as you compete with one another in a way. In other words, you know, when you see Paul cast out a demon or you see Peter just look look at me and they rise up from the dead. The faith that they had, it's because they knew the spirit within them. They knew they were joint hes. And think about being an heir with Christ. We're royalty, a peculiar people, a royal priesthood. I don't even bring that scripture into this teaching, but that is what we are. And let's pause and think about that for just a moment. I'd like for you to think about what royalty is like. Imagine having access to the king at all times. Even when he's in a meeting uh with other angels or doing this or that, he is father god. He's king. Yes. But he stops for his children to listen. What is it that you need? What is it that you want? I got this. Okay, we got it together. and to stand side by side with Jesus in that holy courtroom as royalty and to have whatever Christ had. Christ walked in water, walked on the water. Christ healed the sick. Christ is going to put an end to sin. He's doing all this and he says, "I redeemed you. I gave you my blood cuz my father told me, but I was obedient and I wanted to and I do it for the joy of setting you free and having you free. This is his his love for us and we're a part of that. We are a joint air. We can cast out demons. We can heal the sick. We can be set apart from this world and know better with him. Know the betterness of him. Oh, let's go to Galatians. Let's continue on. I want to show you more of this. Galatians chapter 3:25-27. But after that faith has come, we are no longer under a school master. Let's stop and think about this for a minute. After that faith has come, when you become a believer in Christ, you actually take a step of faith. When you confess Jesus is Lord, this is Romans 10:9. When you confess Jesus is Lord with your mouth and believe that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved, delivered, healed, preserved. That word means a whole bunch of different words there. So imagine having that faith. You finally get it. You realize that you are a child of God. You have this authority. Look at what else he says. For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. Now, I want you to see what that word faith there means. It means persuasion, credence, moral conviction. You see what happens is suddenly you're aware because the spirit within you who is partnering up with the Holy Spirit, you suddenly realize, hey, there's something more. And you're just so blessed by it. And you're you it transforms the way you think because you're a child of God. you get to go up to the courtroom and sometimes it's very hard for Christians to accept this, you know, because Jesus is so worthy. It's almost as if Jesus is way up there and he's not here within me. But the Holy Spirit, God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Spirit, three persons in one. The Holy Spirit is in us and they work in tandem. That means he's convicting us. We are feeling that conviction. We're aware of his presence, which means we should be acknowledging we're a child of God and we are able to walk into that kingdom that he has for us. Let's continue on. Verse 27. For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. Look at this. Baptized means to be fully wet. You'll see in the Catholic church they put little drops on the forehead. Well, fully wet means submersion. So, if you go to pretty much any denomination out there that is calling itself Christian other than Catholicism, you will find that water baptism is a fully submersible um event that happens in a believer's life. Now, some churches believe you need to have that to get saved. I think that's incorrect teaching because if you go look at Luke and you see the thief on the cross got Jesus told the thief today you will be with me in paradise. That thief never got off and never got water baptized. So he got saved though. So you all it takes is confession of Jesus and you're just calling out on Jesus whom you can't see. You're just calling out on him and and you become a child of God just from that. You see, I believe when you go get water baptized and you come up, you go into ministry right after that because now you've got the anointing of the Holy Spirit on you, which he's talking about the anointing in the scripture. For as many of you has been baptized fully what? Into Christ, which is the anointed where Christ means anointed have put on Christ anointing, the anointing of Christ. You go into the ministry. In fact, as soon as Jesus had been baptized, he came up. He went into the wilderness for 40 days and 40 nights fasted and dealt with the temptation of Satan overcame him and won. And after that, his min ministry was a breeze. So as soon as you come up from water baptism, you kind of go under this attack of the devil. You overcome him because the Holy Spirit will not let you lose. Amen. And it it becomes an ongoing thing where your Holy Spirit just gets stronger and stronger and stronger and you go into ministry and you start teaching people under the gifts of the Holy Spirit. You start manifesting the fruit of the Holy Spirit. I mean your life transforms and you are a joint heir with Christ because your spirit is testifying with the Holy Spirit and the two of you are now working in tandem as joint airs. Meaning you have the right to the authority of the name of Jesus and everything about Jesus. Romans 10:9 again says that if you confess with your mouth Jesus is Lord. Lord over what? Lord over my life, Lord over my head if I have headaches, Lord over my sinuses, Lord over my spirit, Lord over my body, he's Lord. So the moment you start to feel like a a little cold coming on, this is where you can say, "No, no, no. Jesus is Lord over that. Jesus is Lord over cancer. Jesus is Lord over my finances. And because you're a son of God, you are a child of God. You have the right to the faith of healing. You have the right to deliverance. You have that right. And you get to walk right up to the throne where God the Father is, Jesus the Son, the Holy Spirit is encouraging you. He's convicting you. He's right there with you. And the four of you are working in you to in your mind, bringing your faith up so that you are walking in ministry, healing, and saving others because we need to save people, which is what Jesus was all about. That's why he went to the cross with joy. By the way, he went to the cross with joy. And as he was up there, he was thinking of you and I. He redeemed us knowing full well it was going to hurt. He suffered it, but he did it so that we didn't have to go through that suffering because we already fell. We're already suffering as it is. But he rose from the grave and he's life. Death can't hold him, which means sickness and diseases can't hold you. You are a child of God and you get to go walking around free and clear and liberated, no longer a slave. Oh, I hope you guys are getting this. 1 John 3:10. In this, the children of God are manifest or shining apparent. And I want you to see something. You can tell the difference from a child of God and a child of the devil. Look at this. This is very important. Why I brought the scripture here. And the children of the devil. Whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth, not his brother. That word love there is social moral obligation type of a sense. In other words, a mom has her first born and she has her child. She's obligated to take care of that child. That's what that word love there means. You're obligated as a child of God, as somebody who's called on Christ to demonstrate his power and his authority. the faith in you is the demonstration because we're already seeing plenty of demon um uh the devil and demonstration on their side of unrighteousness which isn't of God. They're not loving. They're not helping. They're not doing any of that kind of stuff. No. And but here we're different. We're a child of God. We're a peculiar people and we have the right to demonstrate his love to those around and to share those words of encouragement that the body of Christ and these are there are believers. They are so down. They're so oppressed that it's like the devil is rubbing their face in the dirt of the ground and they haven't figured it out yet. They just need to stand up and put the devil on the ground and stomp him down. That's the right that we have as a child of God. I hope you guys are getting this. 1 John 4:4, "Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome. You've subdued. You conquer them because greater is he that is in you than he that is in the world." You've got God on your side. And the moment you decide you're going to spend more time with God, which means more time with the Holy Spirit, you're going to read the scripture more or even make a commitment of reading his scripture every day and sometimes two or three times a day or make a commitment where you're going to put around 15 to 30 minutes out to the side every day for you and God just to have some quality time together. you know, last week, I think it was, as I'm over here in my room and I I was just weeping. I mean, weeping that Yeah. It wasn't this last Thursday. It was the Thursday before and I was just thinking of the people and I was praying with God and the anointing was so strong that my sinuses all got cleared out and have been cleared since. I've always had to spray sinus spray and I've been healed of that. I haven't had to spray my nose now for a week and a half. That is incredible. I mean, just feeling the anointing of the Holy Spirit and God healed me in that moment. Why? Because I put him first. I trusted him. I had faith in him. We are the House of Faith Ministries. And it is hard to have faith. It's hard to trust people, let alone someone you can't see. But that's the power and the authority that we have as believers in Christ. We need to get up off of going to church, being spoonfed the scripture, and uh just Yeah, God has Yeah, there's faith. I heard a teaching last Sunday teaching faith. Hebrews 11, the the faith chapter is such a mighty chapter. you. I I would never have thought that a teaching on that chapter could ever go as slow and inhibited as I had heard it that way taught that day. And I I prayed. I said, "Lord, what's going on here? This person who taught on faith had no faith." And now I'm praying because I'm hoping that the Lord shakes us up and shows us that faith. But not just show us, but that it connects. It clicks somewhere in the brain. So that faith turns on and we're walking in that power. Because to not realize or not have it or not understand it, you know, that's we have to ask God to help us understand what he's doing, where he's going. You know, after that uh January 6 event, I remember going to the Lord going, you know, I wasn't involved with that, but I was very hesitant and wondering is Trump going to win? I you know I after he had lost you know just the way the church was pushing in that area so deeply I came away from that and I separated myself from that at that point I said no Lord I'm here for you not for the church and I I want to serve the church I want to help the church but I we got to be on the right track with your word and after that my life has changed drastically because I purposed in my heart in my mind that I would put him first, understand the scriptures, teach it the way he wants to, and not by uh you know, if if someone had asked me to teach on faith and I didn't understand it, I would back off and say, "No, no, I can't teach it because I don't understand it." That's what you're supposed to do. It's better to not mislead anybody, but to demonstrate what you're teaching. And I'm hoping as a House of Faith Ministries that we're walking in faith and knowing and demonstrating that. And I'm hoping that you catch the fire of the anointing in here that goes down into here and comes right out and just goes all over everybody. So, what am I hoping for? Because I want to teach you how much faith that you have by being a child of God. If Jesus can heal, if Jesus can deliver, if Jesus can make the blind see, if he can help us hear, how much more can we do of that as well? Because he said you would do greater things than I only because he had to go to the father. I love the way that scripture is worded. Let's continue on. I want you to catch this. We're in 1 John 5 1-5. Whosoever believeth and you know, let's pause there. That's where it starts. The word believe is means to have faith. That's where it starts. Do you have enough faith to say, "All right, Jesus. I believe you're real and I'm going to need some help." And and that's all it takes. Start that. You plant the seed and let the Holy Spirit start talking to you. Which means you have to open the Bible, which means you need to read it and you need to be praying. It's a two-way communication, but it starts there. Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God. Meaning God procreated the man Jesus. And he did. You see, the son of God has always been there with him. And the son of God is who did creation. Go to first John, excuse me, John 1:1. In the beginning was the word and the word was God. And the word was with God. He was always there in the beginning. But that word became flesh. Jesus, God procreated him and and made him Jesus. He died and then he rose from the grave and got a new body. He's not that spirit anymore. He's in the body in the flesh, a whole new flesh that we're all going to get new bodies afterwards. But he when he said life, he just popped right out of the grave. And we have the right to that life. We have the right to be standing on that throne room with Jesus and with God the Father. And we have the right to say, "I'm a joint heir. And I have this authority, which means I'm going to come right back out of the grave. And because I already believe in my flesh, it already has begun. I death is not going to affect me like it would anyone else. absent from the body, present with the Lord. I love what Paul says. Oh death, oh death, where is your stink? That's what happens to those of us who grab a hold of that faith and believe that Jesus is the son of God and that we're joint hes with him and that as a child we have the same authority, life, we have life and we're not going to be held back. So when death, sickness, diseases, and all that try to encompass us, try to oppress us, try to push us down, try to tell us lies, we get to look at and say, "No way. I have the name of Jesus. He is my Lord. He's my savior. You sickness, cancer, disease, you get lost in the name of Jesus because I have life. It will not touch me because of the faith of what I have and what I believe and who I believe as a child of God. Oh, hallelujah. Born of God. And everyone that loveth him that begat loveth him also that is begotten of him. You see, we're of him. And see, when we love him, we love him out of a social moral obligation. Because I'm going to tell you right now, when you can't see God, how can you love something you can't see? But you have to take the faith and pray and talk to him because then what happens afterwards is that you start to see him move in your life. And next thing you know, you're having full conversations with him because you're walking in faith because you've seen him move so much in your life. and you just know that you're a child of God. How much love he has for me. And it becomes empathic at that point. But when it first starts, it's an obligation. All right, Lord. I'm going to keep your commandments. I I don't want to sin. I don't want to be like that anymore. I'm repenting. I'm going to turn my life around. I'm gonna choose to live for you. And I I'm gonna declare I'm a child of God. I may not understand it, but I'm asking you to help me understand that, Lord. You see, that's the baby steps that you need to take to get to this point. And I'm going to tell you, I'm not even there yet. Yet, I'm so excited. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Look at this. By this, we know, and that word is absolutely know that we love the children of God when we love God and keep his commandments. Because now it comes to well now we got to love all of God's children. If we're all children of God, we got to love one another. What's what's interesting about that is we don't want to. But there's a point when you actually press in and you find out more about God, you realize that God loves them just as much as he loves me. And all of a sudden it it it changes you. And I am begging you to let the Holy Spirit change you and transform you. Verse three, for this is the love of God that we keep his commandments. Look at this word commandments. It means authoritative prescription. So we're talking about healing, deliverance from the inside out. You see, when you love them just as much as God loves them, the other people of the world, not just ourselves. When you love them, you keep his commandments. Because what is his commandments? To love him with all of your heart to love them, your neighbor, just as much as you love yourself. And when that happens, you are walking in authoritative prescription because you're a joint heir. You're a child of God. That means your authority is your prescription that keeps you from all sicknesses and diseases. Oh, I hope you get this. I hope you get this. And his commandments are not grievous. For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world. And this is the victory that overcomemeth the world, even our faith. Who is he that overcomemeth the world? He that believeth that Jesus is the son of God. That my friend is basic scripture doctrine of how to realize you're a child of God and how not to ever be sick, downtrodden, oppressed, possessed. Oh, you see this is where it starts right in here. You start thinking, you know what? I'm a child of God. And it clicks and all of a sudden your faith goes from way down here and it starts to go way up here. That, my friend, is walking in faith. That is walking in the realization of who you are and the authority that you have. There are things you're going to do that are going to be magnificent, worthy, holy, worthy to be written in the Bible if the go if God wanted to continue writing the Bible. I hope you catch this and I hope that you realize that you are a child of God. Amen. Let's close in a word of prayer. Father God, we thank you for your word and we bless your word. We pray that your word does not return void. And we thank you that your word that the enemy does not come in and discourage us or make us forget this word. Lord, let us retain and walk in this word with you and know that you are God and we're your child and that we have the authority in the name of Jesus and that we have the faith to believe that you are our healer in the name of Jesus. That you are our deliverer, our provider. And with you, Father God, all things are possible. Hallelujah. In the name of Jesus, we pray. Amen. Amen. Amen. God bless you and I'll see you in the next Actually, uh, next week is Thanksgiving. I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving. We're going to take the week off. Have a blessed week in God's name.

- THE INTERMISSION DOUBLE PORTION | House of Faith Ministries (HoFM)
THE INTERMISSION DOUBLE PORTION To reveal the biblical and spiritual significance of the Sabbath as an “intermission” established by God, showing how His provision of a double portion on the sixth day is both a miracle and a sign of His lordship. The teaching aims to help believers understand how Jesus’ actions on the Sabbath reveal deeper truths about rest, healing, and God’s continual ministry, while guiding Christians today to embrace Sabbath rest as spiritual refreshment, restoration, and protection in Christ. THE INTERMISSION DOUBLE PORTION Minister Lisa Kane October 16, 2024 Objective: To reveal the biblical and spiritual significance of the Sabbath as an “intermission” established by God, showing how His provision of a double portion on the sixth day is both a miracle and a sign of His lordship. The teaching aims to help believers understand how Jesus’ actions on the Sabbath reveal deeper truths about rest, healing, and God’s continual ministry, while guiding Christians today to embrace Sabbath rest as spiritual refreshment, restoration, and protection in Christ. Synopsis: In this teaching, Lisa Kane explores the revelation of the Sabbath as more than a commandment—it is an intermission designed by God for His people’s rest, renewal, and recognition of His provision. Beginning with Luke 14 and John 5, she shows how Jesus healed on the Sabbath, challenging the Pharisees’ legalistic view and revealing that God’s work of healing and compassion never ceases. These events demonstrate that the Sabbath is not about restriction but about encountering God’s restorative power. Turning to Exodus 16 and 31, the message highlights how God provided manna in double measure on the sixth day, ensuring Israel could rest on the seventh without lack. This miracle served as a sign across generations that He alone is Lord and sustainer. The Sabbath becomes not just physical rest, but a divine pause where believers witness God’s provision and protection. Lisa applies this revelation to the New Covenant, showing that the believer’s body is now the temple of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 6). Rest is not limited to one day but can be practiced daily by entering the secret place with God (Psalm 91). The double portion manifests as spiritual, emotional, and physical renewal, giving strength for life’s battles, intercessory prayer, and ministry. Even in trials—such as caring for loved ones during illness—God provides sustaining rest and peace through His presence. The teaching concludes with practical encouragement: to intentionally set aside intermission time with the Lord, whether an entire day or moments throughout the week. By doing so, believers experience God’s hedge of protection, refreshment of spirit, and the miracle of provision that confirms His lordship. Inspired Teaching - Written and/or Transcribed from Video Above: Hello and welcome to the House of Faith Ministries. I'm Lisa Kaine. I'm recording this teaching on Wednesday, October 16, 2024. Welcome. Let's open up in a word of prayer. Father God, we thank you that your word does not return void. We thank you for the revelation of your word and the double portion of what the Sabbath is all about. And I thank you, Father God, for teaching us your word and how to enter into your rest, knowing the miracle that you performed on day six. You are amazing, glorious, faithful, true. Let your word not be snatched out of us. But place your hedge of protection around that word within our hearts and in our soul and in our spirit so we do not forget your word and the revelation that you have given us. Thank you, Lord. In the name of Jesus, we pray. Amen. Amen. Oh, I've got such a neat new teaching here. It is um fresh revelation is what I like to call it. So, I'm calling this message the intermission double portion. So, let's go into our opening scripture here in Luke 14:3. And Jesus answering spake unto the lawyers and Pharisees, saying, is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath day? So, we're going to be talking about the Sabbath day here. But one of the things is when you look at Luke here and you we're going to look at Luke um 14 here in John 5 and then we're going to get into Exodus because we're going to need to understand what the Sabbath is about. You're going to see that there is a uh a revelation of a miracle that God performs every week for you and I for anyone. This is a sign that he has given us. And in fact, because Israel messed up with this sign, they owed God 490 years of suffering. Well, they've served 483. They still got 70 years to go. This is about that, but we're going to see it how it applies to the believers in Christ today, as well as how the Lord established it with Israel back in the day. So, and we're going to see how Jesus transforms this because he's the one who established it in the beginning and we're going to get there, but you're going to see him interact with this because you're going to see how the Pharisees and the Sadducees for that matter anyone else missed it. That's what happens. So, you have to spend time with the Lord, dwell in the Lord so you can get it. And it wasn't taught to me. I just got it because it was taught to me by the Holy Spirit. So, let's get in there. We're going to be in Luke 14 here. We're going to read verses 1-6. And it came to pass as he went into the house of one of the chief Pharisees to eat bread on the Sabbath day that they watched him. I want to bring some revelation to that. They watched him. They set him up with this. So, watch how Jesus handles the setup. They are purposely trying to trip Jesus. Okay, watch how he handles it. Verse two. And behold, there was a certain man before him which had the drop seat. Now, keep in mind, he's invited to one of the chief Pharisees and they're having a dinner. Usually, when they're having a dinner, they're not going to bring in somebody with sickness to their table because they're trying to make an impression. Oh, but they brought this man in because they want to set Jesus up. Now watch verse three. And Jesus answering spake unto the lawyers and Pharisees, saying, "Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath day?" And they held their peace. And he took him and healed him and let him go, and answered them, saying, "Which of you shall have an axe, an ass, or an ox fallen into a pit, and will not straightway pull him out on the Sabbath day?" And they could not answer him again to these things. So Jesus put it right back on them. Like there's a loophole here in the Sabbath day. He's saying that if you have a donkey uh or an ox and it falls into a ditch or for that matter, do you not even feed your animals because it's work? But your animals are your livelihood. See, the Pharisees took the Sabbath day as you can't do any work in there at all. But you got to feed your animals. You got to feed yourselves. And feeding the animals requires you to go feed them. Especially when you keep them in captivity for you know milking and and providing the eggs or whatever your animals are. You have to go feed them. It becomes a daily job. But yet we have this Sabbath day that you're not supposed to work on. And the Pharisees are trying to trip Jesus up on you're healing on the Sabbath day. Now I want you to see something. Jesus healed on the Sabbath day. So that means there's something here that the Pharisees are missing and maybe something we're not understanding. Let's go to another event that Jesus did in John chapter 5. Let's go through verses 5 through 18. And a certain man was there which had an infirmity 38 30 and 8 years. First of all, if you have the ability to heal somebody, it's in a talent. You have the gift, the gift of the Holy Spirit. He gives this to you. Heal the people. This man should not have been sick for 38 years. And yet he was. And this is the compassion Jesus had. So let's continue on. Verse six. And when Jesus saw him lie and knew that he had been now a long time in that case, he saith unto him, wilt thou be made whole? He's asking this man who's been sick for 38 years, do you want to be healed? Look at the man's answer. This is fascinating. Verse 7, the impotent man answered him, "Sir, I have no man when the water is troubled to put me into the pool. But while I am coming, another stepeth down before me." Let's pause here. Let's set up the scene here. This is at the pool of shalom. And basically what happens is an angel will stir up the water and when you see that and you're sick, you jump in, you're healed. And that was the in fact archaeologists have found the pool of Shiloh in the city of David. So it's a real place. This is a real event that took place. This is not a parable. This is not a story. This is a real event. And Jesus is going to heal this man. So what this man says though, he says um in a way he's saying, let's look at it. He's saying I have no man when the water is troubled to put me in the pool. while I am coming another step it down. So he's he gives the excuse but he's saying I'm trying on my own to get there. So now you're seeing this event taking place where this man who's been sick for 38 years can't get to the water fast enough. He hasn't thought out of the box to try to be on the edge when it's ready. I don't know. He He's in this situation. In a way, he's accepted his sickness of 38 years and he's got excuses. Now, watch what Jesus does because this is this gets real interesting real fast. Verse 8, Jesus saith unto him, "Rise, take up thy bed, and walk." And immediately the man was made whole, took up his bed, and walked. And on the same day was the Sabbath. So, here's the Sabbath day. This is your intermission. by the word. By the way, the word Sabbath means intermission. And this man is healed on the Sabbath. So is another Sabbath day. Another man being healed by Jesus on the Sabbath day where you're not supposed to do any work. Not only is he not supposed to do any work, he's telling this man to get up, walk, and carry your bed. He's going to carry the bed on the Sabbath day. Carrying a bed on the Sabbath day is work, but Jesus tells him to do it. And the man gets up and he carries his bed. He's being obedient to the word of the Lord on the Sabbath day. Now watch this. Verse 10. The Jews therefore said unto him that was cured, "It is the Sabbath day. It is not lawful for thee to carry thy bed." And he answered them, "He that made me whole, the same said unto me, take up thy bed and walk." Then asked they him, "What man is that which said unto thee, take up thy bed and walk?" And he that was healed was not who it was, for Jesus had conveyed himself away, a multitude being in place. So basically, Jesus got out of the way. He So he healed this man. He leaves. This man doesn't know who Jesus is. He gets healed and then he's walking around with his bed because he was told by Jesus to carry it and the Pharisees are saying, "You can't do that." He says, "No, this guy told me to get up and carry my bed and I'm doing that." And they're like, "Well, who is he? I don't know who he is." So now catch up where they're at. They're coming into the temple. Verse 14, afterward Jesus findeth him in the temple and said unto him, "Behold, thou art made whole. Sin no more, lest a worse thing come unto thee." Now I want to pause here because this is another entire teaching and teachings I have been teaching on for many times now that the consequence of sin is sickness. So here not only did Jesus physically heal his body, he healed his soul and he's telling him don't sin anymore otherwise it's going to get worse. We don't want it to get worse. Okay. So now coming into verse 15, the man departed. He left the temple and told the Jews that it was Jesus which had made him whole. And therefore did the Jews persecute Jesus and sought to slay him because he had done these things on the Sabbath day. But Jesus answered them, "My father worketh." That word workketh means toil, be engaged in, minister about. ministering. This is a Sabbath day, and God still ministers on the Sabbath day. Watch this. But Jesus answered them, "My father worketh hither to, and I work." Therefore, the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he not only had broken the Sabbath, but said also that God was his father, making himself equal with God. So, what are the Pharisees really upset about here? Let we can go down a little further into the root of this. They're supposed to be healing the people. They're not. They can't. Nothing's happening. They've done everything they can. On top of it, they've put themselves in a situation where they have constructed their um ministry to six days a week and the seventh nobody is allowed to get sick and nobody's allowed to have any issues, which by the way is scriptural and we're going to see the double portion of God's miracle make that possible. But here you're seeing there are sick people on the Sabbath. What do you do? So Jesus is showing the world, hey, I'm going to minister. I'm going to heal you on the Sabbath. So there's something about the Sabbath though that we need to get because we got to figure this out. What are this Pharisees doing? And what is God doing? Because there's something here that we should be getting. So, let's go to Exodus 16:29. I want to read this and then I'm going to give you the context of it because there's a lot of scripture that can go with this. See, for that the Lord hath given you the Sabbath. Therefore, he giveth you on the sixth day the bread of two days. Abide ye every man in his place. Let no man go out of his place on the seventh day. So, right here is where God he established it though at at creation. But here he's teaching the Israelites what the Sabbath is all about. This is where they are in the wilderness for 40 years. They are in this wilderness and God provides mana for them. So first thing he tells them is to go out and grab just the amount that you need. No more, no less. Don't save any of it. So they go out, they grab it. Some grabbed extra. They tried to save it. The next day it was filled with worms and it it decayed. So now God tells Moses to tell them, "Go out and get a double portion on day six because it's going to cover you for day seven. Don't go out on day seven." So now, of course, day seven, some people still went out and Moses like, "You're just not being obedient. God's telling you to be obedient." Now, here's where things get very interesting. God says, "I'm going to give you double portion on the sab on it's a Saturday the or the day before the Sabbath, which I think is a Friday for them. So they have a day before where they're getting a double portion. So when they go to eat on the Sabbath, it's fresh mana, fresh food they didn't have to go work for because God performed a miracle on day six and gave them a double portion so that it covers them for the two days. Now, why does God do that? Let's go further in Exodus. Let's go to Exodus 31. And we're going to read verses 12- 15. And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, Speak thou also unto the children of Israel, saying, "Verily, my Sabbaths," here's that word Sabbath, it means intermission, ye shall keep. For it is a sign between me and you throughout your generations, that ye may know that I am the Lord that doth sanctify, which is clean, upon holy you. Ye shall keep the Sabbath, or intermission, therefore, for it is holy unto you. Everyone that defileth it shall surely be put to death. For whosoever doeth any work, deput, employment, ministry, therein that soul shall be cut off from among his people. Six days may work be done, but in the seventh is the Sabbath of rest, holy to the Lord. whosoever doeth any work in the Sabbath day, he shall surely be put to death. So what is the Lord talking about here? It's a sign. You see, God wants to know you are Lord. Let's read that one more time. This is in verse 13. For it is a sign between me and you throughout your generations that you may know that I am the Lord that doth sanctify you. You see, God performs a miracle on day six. And if they had kept that because they would have their double portion, everything is doubled on day six. Everything is provided. What happens is when you teach your children, look, God gave me two amounts, one for today, one for tomorrow, so that we can rest tomorrow and still have a full complete meal. It's an intermission between day six and day one. That's what day seven is all about. It's a pause, a pause of ministry, a pause, a sign. But the sign is the miracle. The miracle is that the people when they see the miracle, wow, I only had enough on day five, day four, day three, day two, day one. But on day six, they got a double portion. It's a miracle. And what happens is those that see it know there's a God. And they know he is God. He is Lord. And they receive that. And they begin to have this relationship with the Lord because they're recognizing what the Lord does. He performs a miracle on day six to cover day seven. Now Jesus showed us that he did ministry on that day. So then what does it mean? Does it have to be on day six? Because see now it's something is a little bit different. Jesus changed things up. So, he wants us to see the miracle on day six. He still wants us to have the rest so that we know he's Lord. But what has he done? That's what we got to look at. Let's go to 1 Corinthians 6:19 and 20. What know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost, which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? For ye are bought with a price. Therefore, glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are gods. Now, we're seeing something happening here. You are seeing a a new thing from Jesus. Our body is now the temple. The Israelites had Moses built a temple. They couldn't even enter that temple. Only Moses could. And then it would only be the Levi priests going forward. They did not allow it. Now the temple is in us. So our physical bodies need rest. And because we need to have an intermission, what happens? The first thing you get sick. You get tired. You want to sleep. You lay down. Take some medicine. And why did you get sick? Maybe you were running ragged. There are a lot of um beliefs throughout the different cultures. One culture believes going between hot and cold is the reason why you get sick, but people think they get sick because of whatever. You can put your belief in there. What if I told you God allowed you to get that cold because he's trying to get you to rest because your body is his temple. Now watch this. When you dwell in the temple of God, which means he's within you, which means you have to create a secret place. And we're going to go to that scripture here in just a moment. When you do that, your double portion was already given to you the day before. And all it is is now you're filling up with the anointing of the Holy Spirit, with the Holy Ghost. It refreshes you. You are resting. Even if you are in ministry seven days a week, now he tells you to take a whole day. But if you take an hour, 15 minutes, 20 minutes, but you intercede, you break that into your day, that is your double portion rest. Now, you can do this many different ways. You see, if I come into the I spend time with the Lord every morning and I've got certain days that are longer and I've worked it out with the Lord where I spend time in prayer. I spend time in the word. I spend time studying. That is my intermission. That's my rest. That's my Sabbath. And it builds up as each day goes by. I'm an intercessory prayer warrior. But I don't I pray at church on Sundays and I'm just praising the Lord and worshiping him. Saturdays is more like a popcorn prayer because these are my intermission days. This is where the Lord moves. So he moves with me on the days that he has established for me because I am entering into the rest time that I need with the Lord. pausing in the ministry but still knowing that when I prayed on Thursday, Friday, whatever, it will go into the next thing. Now, here's the miracle. I want you to catch this. When Jesus provides the double portion, God provides the double portion on day six, he provides a miracle where remember what Jesus said when your donkey or your ox falls into a ditch. What happens on that day six is the double portion is provided so you have rest. Nothing will interrupt the intermission, the rest, because God already took care of it. So that you're at rest and you're at peace on that day, you set aside for him. So that means every time I go in to dwell in the Lord um in my secret place, which is this room right here, when I go in and I dwell in, the Lord already placed a hedge of protection around me where I'm not going to be interrupted. I'm not going to be disturbed by sudden things. It will happen those things because those things do happen, but it's not going to happen in my intermission time with the Lord. That's the miracle. And why? Because then I know that he is Lord. He's got me. That's what the intermission Sabbath is all about. So that you see the double portion. You see the hedge of protection. A double portion of what? Well, your rest, his hedge of protection, your blessings, everything is there. He gives it to you where you won't get sick because you are dwelling in the secret place. You're giving your body the rest it needs. And it's not just the physical body that is the temple. Your spirit is restored, refreshed, reconciled with the Lord, redeemed. And you recognize that and you are you're feeling great. As you know, I just did a teaching last week where I actually shared our personal testimony and dealing with my mom and her cancer that she's having to deal with. Well, guess what? Look at me refreshed now. Look, it has been a spiritual battle. I mean, everything we've been dealing with, I shared that in the last teaching. Go check it out if you're interested. And it's been an attack and she was in the hospital for 10 days. There was no intermission. So, when you come out of that, and yes, that was battle number one because we were dealing with the blood clots. Now, we're in battle number two because we're spiritual battle now that she has to have chemotherapy for the this cancer. Well, guess what? I love what the doctor said. He says, "This is treatable. This is it. It's only lifethreatening if you don't treat it. All it needs to do is be contained and you will have a full quality of healthy life ahead of you for as many years as you're still going to be here on this earth. So now that we know this is attainable. So we're in the second part. The intermission was I went to the Lord, spent time with him, dwelled in his word, and actually he gave me this revelation right in the middle of all of this. So, I'm sharing this with you so that you know when you're being attacked, once you enter into the secret place with the Lord, you are in that peace. you are in that comfort because you are getting the double portion and allowing your physical body to rest. Because I'm gonna tell you right now, one of the things that happens when you're dealing with a spiritual warfare thing like this, especially finding out bad news, it uh it impacts your psyche, your emotional system. And when your emotions are just out of control, what's the first thing? Usually your defense system goes down. You get sick because you're tired. You're run down. You're feeling all the the attack of everything and it seems like it's the end of the world. But God, let's go to Psalm 91 now. Verses 1 and two. He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most high shall abide under the shadow of the almighty. I will say of the Lord, he is my refuge and my fortress, my God. In him will I trust. Because that's what the Sabbath is about. You're trusting on the double portion of the day before to get you through the intermission that your body, your spirit, your soul needs. And then you know that he is Lord because he has provided. Oh, you can't ask for anything better than this. Amen. So what can you do? How do you establish a day? You can take an entire day if you want and that way your day is established just for you and God and peace and relaxation. Sometimes people like to go on a hike and go up to the top of a mountain and sit down. Let that be your day of intermission. If it's staying in bed for half the day, uh, and then just grabbing some soup or something, take that type of a day. have that day. Dwell in the the secret place with the Lord, but put him first in that day. Go to him. Say, "Lord, today is a day of rest and I'm coming into resting you. I'm going to allow my body to rest. I'm not going to be stressed out because I already know that you provided the double portion of my rest on the day I needed it and then the day after. And I'm doing what your word tells me to do. One, I'm dwelling in the secret place. And two, I'm obtaining the double portion that you have provided me with so I can be sustained as I pause, take the break like you did, Lord, so I can continue on with whatever I need to continue on, which is working, battling, spiritual warfare. I deal with that uh because I'm an intercessory prayer warrior. So these are the things that you can do. Get that time with the Lord. Get your rest. Stop. Pause. Breathe. If it just needs to be an hour, then do that. But listen to the Lord talk to you. He's going to be bringing you into a place where you will have that rest. Amen. He's going to set your world around in a way that you will have that intermission. And I'm gonna tell you right now, you will be better off doing this and being refreshed to do the battle, whatever God has called you to do in your week than if you don't do this at all. Now, I do it as a daily thing because I spend time with the Lord, but at the same time, I have things I have to get done that needs work, but I have day a day where I just, okay, Lord, it's just you and me and nothing else. And then I I give him that day. I even bless the day. I said, "Lord, this day belongs to you. I bless it and give it to you." I encourage you to get in and have that rest with the Lord. You should never be tired. His yoke is not heavy. It's not a heavy burden. It's not uh choking you. It is a light thing. And you should be able to do ministry whenever you're called to do it because he has established a resting period in you by providing you the double portion from the day before because he will always take care of you on that day of rest. And I don't think you will even have any issues come against you because God protected. He wants you to have that rest. And when you make it a point to have that rest, he's gonna stop the whole world and keep them from interrupting your rest because you will know then that he is Lord. Amen. Let's close in a word of prayer. Father God, we thank you for your word and we bless your word. I pray that the enemy does not snatch this word away from us, but that it dwells deeply within us. that we apply it to our lives and that we live in the rest that you have given us and be able to still be that soldier or that warrior or that whatever we have to do to either provide for our families as we go to work but we have that intermission the rest that you have given us that you abide and that you've taken care of everything with the double portion from the day before. Thank you for keeping us whole, well, healthy and strong in you. In the name of Jesus we pray. Amen. Amen. God bless each and every one of you and I'll see you in the next message. Bye-bye.

HOW TO KNOW IF SOMEONE IS LYING TO YOU The objective of this message is to equip believers with biblical discernment to recognize lies, deception, and manipulation—whether in personal relationships, society, or political leadership—and to stand firmly on the truth of God’s Word. Through the Scriptures, Lisa emphasizes the importance of dwelling in Christ, being guided by the Holy Spirit, and applying truth in everyday decisions, including spiritual, relational, and civic responsibilities. HOW TO KNOW IF SOMEONE IS LYING TO YOU Minister Lisa Kane October 27, 2024 Objective: The objective of this message is to equip believers with biblical discernment to recognize lies, deception, and manipulation—whether in personal relationships, society, or political leadership—and to stand firmly on the truth of God’s Word. Through the Scriptures, Lisa emphasizes the importance of dwelling in Christ, being guided by the Holy Spirit, and applying truth in everyday decisions, including spiritual, relational, and civic responsibilities. Synopsis: In this teaching, Lisa Kane explores 1 John 2:21–28 to show how Christians can discern lies by holding fast to the truth that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. She explains that denying Christ’s divine identity equates to walking in deception and aligns with an antichrist spirit. The message highlights that lies can manifest in subtle ways—through culture, politics, or even persuasive emotional appeals—and that believers must evaluate actions and fruits, not just words. Lisa applies this principle to contemporary issues, including the upcoming election, abortion debates, and cultural agendas, urging believers to judge truth by God’s Word rather than public opinion or manipulation. She warns against being seduced by deceptive messages and stresses the role of the Holy Spirit in guiding believers into truth. The teaching concludes with a call to abide in Christ, walk boldly in truth, and let the Word overflow in everyday life. By dwelling in the Spirit and acting in faith, Christians can remain confident and unashamed when Christ returns, living as witnesses of His righteousness. Inspired Teaching - Written and/or Transcribed from Video Above: Hello and welcome to the House of Faith Ministries. I'm Lisa Kaine and I'm recording this teaching on Sunday, October 27, 2024. Welcome. Let's open up in a word of prayer. Father God, we thank you for your word. Thank you for teaching us how to know if someone's lying to us and how to stand firm on your word to know the word is truth and that that truth will set us free. make us free in you, Father God, and help us to stand strong on your word in the foundation, the firm foundation of the name of Jesus, and that the truth of your word just manifests out of us, Lord. In the name of Jesus, we pray. Amen. Amen. Welcome. I am so glad you can join us today. I am teaching this on a Sunday. Normally, I don't teach on Sundays, but I'm teaching I'm homeschooling my grandson now. So, we're going to probably do more weekend teachings. Now, keep in mind, House of Faith Ministries is an online ministry. We're not a church. We do not accept tithes. Uh we do not have Bibles to give out or any of that, at least not today at this time. Uh but we do want to minister. And so, we have this online ministry. It's really there as a supplemental from your attendance at church or it's just something if you two o'clock in the morning, you need something, you can go find a lot of content on our website and check it out. Now, I'm going to be teaching today on how to know if someone is lying. So, let's go to our opening scripture here. 1 John 2:21. I have not written unto you because ye know not the truth, but because you know it, and that no lie is of the truth. Now, John the beloved is the one who wrote the epistles, first, second, and third John. And he's telling us straight up here that he's not writing to us because we don't know the truth. But we know it. Why do we know the truth already? Because the word of God became flesh. In the beginning was the word and the word was with God and the word was God. First John, excuse me, John the Gospel chapter 1:es 1 and two. You can go read that. I didn't I I have very little scriptures today, but you can go read that as I quote them if you need to. But basically, we know that the word of God is the man Jesus who is the son of God and who died for us. That's what we know. And because we know that he is who he is and he's the word, we know that the Bible is truth from cover to cover. So now, how do we know when someone is lying to us? Because we can tell. Now, a lot of there's some people out there who have gifts and they're very intuitive and they can kind of tell and catch on to what's happening. However, we can know when we don't have that intuition or whether that intuition is right or wrong. We can know through the scriptures. So, I want to show you that and I want to show you how you can apply it not just to I mean you can apply it to anything. You can apply it to relationships with your neighbors. You can apply it to like the upcoming election that we have a a new president's about to be voted in November 5th. So, you know, you can apply, you know, are the candidates telling you the truth? Are your, you know, your boss telling you the truth? You can tell. And then, of course, how do you respond? So I want to show you that. So let's go to verses 22 and 23. Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? Look at the word deny there means contradict, disavow, reject. I'm g pause here for a minute to catch that. Who is a liar but he that denyth that Jesus is the Christ? You see Jesus, the word of God is the son of God. And guess what? If people come out and say, "Oh, you know, he was a nice guy. He did he did some good. He was a good prophet." They're not acknowledging that he's the son of God. So, watch that slippery slope there. Yes, he is a good guy. Yes, he's a good prophet. However, he is the son of God. And anyone who denies that he is the Christ. The word Christ means Messiah. It means salvation. And if you deny that he's the savior and that he came from heaven, you are in essence not telling the truth. You're lying. You're a liar. And in fact, it says he is Antichrist, which is the opponent of the Messiah that denyth the father and the son. So when you say he's a good prophet, you are antichrist. Sounds like a harsh word, but that is the truth of the matter. That's the situation you have to watch out for these little little slips that people slip in and and sneak in, you know. Um, let's apply this to the upcoming election. Um, the VP was at one of the rallies and two guys yelled out, "Jesus is Christ. Christ is king." And she comment says, "You're at the wrong rally." She is denying that Jesus is the Christ. She is an opponent or an antichrist of the Messiah as you can see that. So, she's going to deny Jesus and she's going to deny the father. So, we already know now one of uh one of the um candidates in our upcoming election is not for God. We automatically know that just from that one action. There's more and we're going to get to that. that I I think is very important that I use this as a great example for a good teaching time right now because we need to know how do you know who to vote for? How do you know if you can support a company? If you're working for that company, yeah, you're getting paid and you got a job. Great. That's absolutely wonderful. However, what if that company is all about abortion or about See, you have to know these things because God is looking at your heart and wondering, are you walking in truth or are you denying him? And if you're denying him or if you claim you are a Christian and you claim that Jesus is the son of God, but then you go and support something as evil as abortion. We're going to get to that in just a moment. I'm just going to use that as an example. you've got a serious problem on your hand because Jesus is all about life, not death. Which means you don't believe in the miracle and the power behind the name of Jesus, the son of the living God. Once you get to know that power though, I'm going tell you things change drastically. Let's continue on. I want you to see this verse 23. Whosoever denyth the son, the same not the father. He that acknowledgeth the son hath the father also. Okay, this is also very important that we understand. We need to understand God the father, God the son and God the holy spirit. They are the trinity. Now the word trinity is not in the bible but the bible does talk about the three of them working together. We know that the father is the one that established everything and his son is the power in which used to establish everything. So Jesus, which was the word in the beginning, who has died on the cross for all the sin of the world, he rose from the grave, he became the son of God as Jesus said in uh John 3:16. For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son. I think John said that, not Jesus. But either way, I'm you're seeing here that the father led the son and asked the son to do this. The son did this and then he rose from the grave leaving us the holy spirit. So now it's hard to tell the difference between Jesus the son and God the father. Why? Because Jesus the son is doing everything his father has asked him to do. So this is where you and I come in because Jesus on his way up to heaven when he was stopped and talked to Mary Magdalene, he's got all these souls. He's just he died on the cross. He's raising from the grave and he stops to talk to Mary Magdalene to say, "Hey, I go to my father, your father, my God, your God." He elevates humankind to be equal with him at that very moment. And when I say humankind, we all have that equality if we become believers in Christ. If you believe in you do not deny that Jesus is the son of God, you're a believer. You believe in the power of ascending. You you believe in the power of being rose from the grave. Meaning the grave doesn't hold us in death. We're alive with him after this. Just like he's alive. And see anyone who denies that, they're antirist. They are against the Messiah. They are against everything. Let's continue on because I like see I I want to see more of what John is talking about. Verse 26. These things have I written unto you concerning them that seduce or deceive you. See, it sounds so pleasant and it can be or it can be very deceiving, very manipulative. I there's a commercial going on right now here in the state of Missouri and it's a very interesting commercial. It's about abortion. The the young lady in the commercial says, "I was forced to carry my unborn child fullterm knowing that my child had an anomaly and I could not use my baby furniture." That's what she says in the commercial. Now, inside of me, because remember, we're talking about how do you know someone's lying to you? Inside of me, all kinds of red flags went off. warning bells went off. Come on. Sitting there going, "Wait a minute." First of all, you were forced to carry the baby full term. So, this means you knew either at the later part of the first trimester or right in the middle of the second trimester, you knew that your child had an anomaly, was going to die. You still went and bought baby furniture. Oh, but what's more important? the finances that you put to the baby furniture that you can no longer use or not being able to hold your newborn baby. See, they're trying to be manipulative and manipulate your emotions behind it. But you know what? And I also saw a testimony of a very powerful young woman of God and she came out and testified. They told me that my child had this, this, this, and this. And they asked if I wanted an abortion. And she was so outraged. She says, "How dare you rob me of the joy of even the few minutes I would have with my child." Now, her child was born uh and he did die, but she had a little over 30 minutes to hold on to her child, and she cherishes those moments. Another woman testified that they told her that her child would have all these anomalies, and she said, "No, I refuse that." her child was born fine and here that child could have been killed. Has she believed what the doctor said? So be very very careful what you're listening to, which is what this teaching is about. How do you know? They'll tell you, you know, well, a woman has a right over her body. Well, let's pause and let's talk about those rights for a moment. Yes, a woman has a right to not get into bed with a scumbag. That is true. You do not have to get into bed with those idiots who will not be the father that is supposed to be there with that child. And if you're not going to be a mother that you don't want to be, then practice abstinence. It's the perfect birth control. Right? So, this is the thing that we have to be very careful about. They're trying to manipulate us into thinking that, oh, it's okay to abort a child. Listen, in the Old Testament, the Israelites even fell for it. They were deceived. They gave their kids through them after they were born and alive into fire, which would worship the uh demon called Baal. I don't even want to call it a god. There are no other gods. There's only one god. So that's what they did back then is they sacrifice her because every time you go in to have an abortion they have to kill the baby in your womb to remove the baby. Jesus rose from the grave. He is alive and he has conquered death. Which means we know that that is a lie. Abortion is a lie. And I'll tell you this much. I'm going to promise you here and now. No child would have any issue if you believe that Jesus is the son of God and you say, "Lord, I'm giving this child to you and that he covers that child and that child will be born and do everything just fine. Look it. I'm having to homeschool my youngest grandson. He has self-control issues. So, he's very disruptive to a classroom. But you know what? I make the sacrifices I need to give him to the Lord. pray with him, help him uh learn that self-control that he needs. And I don't need any drugs for that or anything. I choose God, which is the word of God. So, these are examples and testimonies that I'm trying to show what can be done when they're lying to you. Let's continue on. Uh they because they they're lying to deceive you. They want you to give them they want your permission to allow them to keep sinning. So that when they face God in judgment, they're going to say stuff like, "Well, they supported me, so we must be right and you're wrong." And that's not going to happen. It's not going to come by me. I promise you that when I'm up there or if it and we're one of the witnesses that are around this judgment for those that are sinning and they're going to go to hell, when they call out, "I was never told or or I I didn't know better." I I get to stand there. If they heard my teaching, I will be able to stand there says, "I taught them the truth. I taught them your word and they denied you anyways." Cuz that's judgment day. That's what's going to happen on judgment day. Let's continue on to verse 27. But the anointing which you have received of him abidth to stay continue dwell in you. And ye need not that any man teach you. Okay, I'm going pause here again. the anointing that you have received the Holy Spirit, the comforter that we have. We have this anointing and it has to stay and dwell within us. How do you keep the anointing inside of you afflimed? How do you keep it passionate? By dwelling in it, you need to get into the scriptures. You need to read it. I have been preaching. I was looking the other day to see how long it's been from 2021. God's dwelling place. That's where I started teaching. And I'm telling you that teaching is still very applicable. It's a very base firm foundation that we can have by coming into the presence of the Holy Spirit and staying there, learning the scriptures, letting that uh change. See, what you put in is what's going to come out. Garbage in, garbage out. pastor I grew up with, he would always say that garbage in, garbage out. So if you put the Holy Spirit in, the Holy Spirit's going to come out of you. This is very important that we are dwelling in what does this say? And ye need not that any man teach you. You don't even have to listen to this teaching. I'm going to tell you right now, I don't have to teach you. I teach you because I'm called to do it. And that is part of my calling with Christ. God can still work in you without you hearing me or without you hearing any pe preachers or teachers anywhere around the world. You can go into the bathroom. You can have a dream at night and the Holy Spirit will be talking in your mind and you will hear and you're going to think of these things. That's how I got out of taking all of the diabetes medicines and all that kind of stuff that I was taking. I could. The Holy Spirit was reminding me of past doctor's conversations, things that were warning bells that I didn't catch then, but I caught now. And that's when I realized, you know what? God is my doctor. I don't need them to tell me what number my body needs to be at. I stopped taking all that because by the time I got to that number, they changed it up so that I stayed in that. And anyways, they were lying. And I finally came to the realization they lied to me about my health cuz they don't even know. They mean well. And by the way, um some of these deceptions that come in, they mean well. The thing is is they just don't know or understand the power of Christ in the in those that believe because they don't believe. So they're considered antichrist. Subtle, but it is there. But as the same anointing teacheth you of all things and is truth and is no lie. And even as they hath taught you, ye shall abide in him. You see, by abiding in him, you're going to know the truth because the truth is the word of God, and the truth will make you free. I didn't bring that scripture in here, but you can go take a look at it. It's in the Gospel of John. He's been talking about Jesus setting us free through truth and knowledge throughout his writings. This is where we stand today. How do you measure? So now, and I I want you to pause and I want you to think about something here. Yes, we have two uh candidates are coming up to become president. You have Camala and you have Trump. And you have to look at both of them through nonbiased eyes. And that right there is the biggest challenge for this election. You have people that are looking at Trump who hate him. They do not like the roughness about him. He's not elegant. He's not tactful. He's not delicate. He's just rough and he is raw. And people just don't like that. But there are people coming to the realization he might be rough around the edges, but he knows how to run a business. And they're coming around and they're seeing. Now, one of the things that Trump is for is he's he's for Israel. He supports Israel. He's also very u giving. He gives everything. All of the four years he was president before, he gave all of his salary as gifts to donations. He donated it all. He doesn't need the money. He's got his own money. So, his salary went. But see, people don't know this. You've got to look at the actions. Try to try to avoid the words that people say. And this is applicable everywhere and around you and through your neighbors, through your your church, your preachers, uh through your your family members even when you are hearing them speak, are they acting on what they're saying? So, first you got to know, are they saying that Jesus is Lord? Are they saying G? Right now, you've got a huge movement that's trying to push through Christianity as the body of Christ, trying to tell you, you don't have to go vote. God's got everything under control. You want to know what I say? Because I disagree with that. I say, why then does God ask us to pray? If God knows everything, and he does, and he wants to do things, but he wants to partner up with you. So, he asks you, I want you to pray. I want you to be able to do this. I want you to be able to go out into the world and I want you to make changes. Faith without works is dead. Which means you got to go out and vote. Partly because he wants you to act on what you believe. Do you believe in life? Trump is for life. He doesn't want abortion at the national level. Let the states deal with it on their own. Which means he's saying, "Let the states handle it." I mean, it's just the reality of it. And that commercial I talked about earlier where she's in the state of Missouri. The state of Missouri does not have abortion. It is not legal here. So, she has to leave the state if she wants to go get an abortion. And she was like, I was forced to raise this child to full term and I couldn't even use my baby furniture. You have other options. Okay? It's not like you couldn't get an abortion. There are many states that will. and it a plane ticket is a couple hundred dollars. Just go do it if that's what you want to do. But remember the consequence of what you're doing. That is against what God stands for, what Jesus stands for. So as a believer in Christ, if you are calling on the name of Jesus and he is the son of God and you're saying he is the son of God, you should not be even seeing that side and you should not even be in support of that site. You should not even be supporting it. So, when you look at the candidates or you look at the amendments um that they're trying to uh propositions that they're trying to pass, when you're looking at your boss, when you're looking at what your company stands for, uh whether it's woke, whether it's the green earth agenda, all of these things are lies. Green earth agenda is a really good one to look at. Jesus says, "Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my word will not." Well, then if heaven and earth is going to die anyways, why do we try to save it? We continue to have to go before the Lord God Almighty and be dwelling in the secret place so we can know the truth. And that truth comes out and we know the difference. Verse 28. And now little children abide, stay, continue, dwell in him, that when he shall appear, we may have confidence, all outspokeness, and not be ashamed before him at his coming. He's coming back. And you're seeing a very distinct difference in the world from 20 years ago to today. It is definitely different because God has made a he's he's drawn a line in the sand. Which side are you on? Are you for life or are you for death? I just taught a teaching on vote life not death just as part of this. This is the one now where you can tell who's lying to you. And we can tell I mean look at what Camala has done. And I'm not being biased. I'm being I'm trying to express the truth by the actions by the fruit. Jesus said we will know them by our fruit. By their fruit. Well, what is her fruit? She can't even think of a thing she would do different than what the last three and a half years. Anyone in California or New York, you ought to be very upset. When gasoline reached almost $6 a gallon, you should be voting the opposite side, not Camala, because they've been lying to you and they're taking your money right in front of you. You're looking at them and you're letting them do it. Grocery bills. Our grocery bills is crazy. We should be voting differently because we can know. We should be speaking out. We should not be ashamed of his coming because he is the son of God and he is returning. And I stand for truth which is the word of God cover to cover. Amen. And if ye know that he is righteous, which is equitable, innocent, holy, just, ye know that everyone that doeth righteousness is born of him. And hallelujah, that is where we stand. So how do you know the truth? You dwell in the word of God. You dwell in the Holy Spirit. He is going to reveal the word to you. For example, not going out and voting. Faith without works is dead. God moves on faith. Your faith is stepping out and voting. You have to be open. You need to be bold. You need to tell people, "I'm voting for Trump and I'm going to go vote for him." Why? Because he loves Israel. And by the way, anyone who loves Israel is blessed. And anyone who hates Israel is cursed. Take a look at what this administration has done. The Biden Harris administration. They say they support Israel and they're there. you. They got their warships, but they're also giving money to Iran and Palestine, Hezbollah, Hamas. They're giving them money, which means they are supporting both. They're playing both sides of the fence. Their actions, their fruit tells us they don't support Israel 100%, which means they only got a partial blessing, which is why we're in the situation we're in today. You can see it. It's a very clear line of knowing what is truth, knowing what is a lie and not being seduced or deceived by it, not letting them let them manipulate us because we know by our dwelling in the Holy Spirit. We know by the Holy Spirit the truth shall set us free. Amen. Amen. Let's close in a word of prayer. Father God, we thank you for your word and we bless your word. Let your word abound in us. Let your word just cause our cup to overflow and splatter on everybody around us, Father God, so that we are outspoken. We are bold and confident in speaking the truth of your word that Jesus Christ is the son of God. And I pray that people hear the truth and become believers and repent and call on your name, turn their lives around and continue to live for you in the name of Jesus. Thank you, Father God. Amen. Amen. God bless you and I will see you in the next message. Byebye. Home Previous Next

IN HIS PRESENCE To teach believers the importance of intentionally entering into the presence of the Lord, not just during church gatherings but in personal, daily life. The teaching draws from Psalm 16 to show how God’s presence brings joy, protection, renewal, and healing, and emphasizes the power of speaking God’s Word in faith to invite His presence into every circumstance. IN HIS PRESENCE Minister Lisa Kane December 15, 2024 Objective: To teach believers the importance of intentionally entering into the presence of the Lord, not just during church gatherings but in personal, daily life. The teaching draws from Psalm 16 to show how God’s presence brings joy, protection, renewal, and healing, and emphasizes the power of speaking God’s Word in faith to invite His presence into every circumstance. Synopsis: In this teaching, Lisa Kane shares a heartfelt message on the power and necessity of dwelling in His presence. Beginning with Psalm 16:11, Lisa explains that life in God’s presence is fresh, alive, and filled with fullness of joy. The psalmist demonstrates how to speak to God, to one’s own soul, and to others, acknowledging that true strength comes not from our own goodness but from God’s mercy, grace, and redemption. Lisa emphasizes that entering God’s presence is an intentional act—one that requires stopping, speaking His Word, and putting Him first, regardless of circumstances. She teaches that God’s presence is not limited to church, but is available anywhere: at home, in the car, or in quiet moments of prayer and worship. Through verses in Psalm 16, she highlights how God provides protection, counsel, and stability, holding us together even in seasons of adversity. The message also warns against relying on “other gods”—whether people, doctors, or distractions—reminding believers that faith and trust must be placed solely in the Lord. Lisa explains that healing and renewal flow naturally from being in God’s presence, where sin and its consequences cannot stand. Drawing from both Old and New Testament scriptures, she shows that calling upon the name of the Lord brings salvation, deliverance, and preservation in every situation. Ultimately, In His Presence encourages believers to seek God first, to call on His name, and to delight in Him above all else. The result is joy, peace, strength, and renewal—benefits that far surpass anything the world can offer. Inspired Teaching - Written and/or Transcribed from Video Above: Hello and welcome to the House of Faith Ministries. I'm Lisa Kaine and I'm recording this teaching on Sunday, December 15, 2024. Welcome. Let's open up in a word of prayer. Father God, we thank you for your word and we know that your word shall not return void. We pray that the hearers and the listeners to this teaching will have hearts prepared to receive you to be in your presence and to feel that anointing of who you are as you touch our hearts and our minds. Thank you, Father God. We love you and praise you and uh thank you that your word does not return void. In the name of Jesus, we pray. Amen. Amen. Okay. Okay. So, the anointing is pretty strong here. So, I'm a little on the emotional side, but we'll get this out. Amen. So, this teaching is called in his presence. So, let's go to our opening scripture here in Psalm 16:11. And we're going to be in Psalm 16 for most of the part of this teaching. Verse 11, thou wilt show me the path of life. The word life means a or another word that you can place in the word of life is alive or fresh. In thy presence or your face is fullness of joy, glee, pleasure, mirth. At thy right hand there are pleasures delightful, sweet for ever more. Well, I'm glad you can join us today here at House of Faith Ministries. Let me show you how I do my teachings. I'm going to present the scripture to you here through the King James version. The bolded words are the words that are in the King James version. But the the translators could have used other words to um express that word if they wanted to. In the case of like word life there is alive or fresh that also just elaborates a little further. So what I'm doing is taking those other words that it could have meant and adding it in because it kind of gives you a bigger picture. Amen. Amen. So, we're going to be talking about in his presence. And there's something about being in the presence of the Lord. And I'm not talking about church. Church is wonderful. I think we need to be at church. Uh we get to um socialize. You you get a second family there. And um you get to pray with one another and you get to um rejoice in praise reports and weep with one another when you're hurting or in pain. Well, here in this teaching in this what I'm talking about in this teaching is in his presence. I'm talking about entering into his presence on your own time. Yeah. Doing it on purpose. I have been teaching for years now about the secret place of the Lord. And in a way, I'm kind of leaning towards that. But as you can see, being in his presence takes purpose. So, we're going to look at what the psalmist says here in Psalm 16 about the purpose of being in his presence and what it does. Now, there are many, many scriptures I can teach on and have taught on about uh being in that secret place with the Lord, but there's something about being in that presence of him. Even when all everything else is going on, you stop and you purposely put him first. Makes a world of difference. Let's go to Psalm 16. We're going to read verses 1 through3. Let's start with verse one. Preserve me, oh God, for in thee do I put my trust. Preserve is hedge about or guard me. And then it says, for in thee do I put my trust. So first I want you to notice uh something. He's talking to God and he's speaking a word. The spoken word is the power that we have in the authority of Jesus Christ. So in the beginning was the word and then if you go down to verse 14 in John chapter 1, you will find out that the word became flesh. Well, in the beginning was the word. Genesis 1 1-4 says, "Let there be light." And there was light and God said saw that it was good. That spoken word is the authority that we have. So this psalmist speaks to his situation. He speaks to God first. Says, "You need to put your hedge around me. You need to guard me. And as I'm fleeing for protection, I'm going to confide in you because that's what that word trust there means." So this is what he's doing. He puts God first. So he's in a circumstance. Whatever it is, it he doesn't say what it is. He's simply saying, "Put your hedge of protection around me and I will trust in you." Okay. Now, verse two, he starts he changes. He He's not talking to God anymore. He's talking to himself. And he says, "Oh my soul, thou has said unto the Lord, thou art my Lord." Now, and thou art my Lord. Again, his soul speaks to God, but he's telling his soul, "I know that you've spoken to God because I know you said, "Thou art my Lord." And when you get to Romans 10:9, it says that if you confess with your mouth, you're speaking a word. says that if you confess with your mouth Jesus is Lord and believe that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved, healed, delivered, preserved. We're going to see more of that here at the end of the teaching. So, here he's saying to his soul, "Thou art my Lord." And then he's acknowledging something here. He says, "My goodness extended not to thee." We can be as good as you think you can be. By the way, how you think and what you believe is what makes you strong. So if you think you're strong and you think you're that good and you got the goods, you know, you're the one who's been in the presence of the Lord, you've been doing all this. Uh-uh. Even though this psalmist has been in the presence of the Lord and he's acknowledged that he's spoken to the Lord, he's also acknowledging that his goodness is worthless. that hasn't he hasn't my goodness extended not to thee there's nothing I can do on this earth in the name of goodness that's going to get to God because God doesn't work that way. God works through redemption. God works through forgiveness and mercy and grace. That's how God works. And and he works by faith. He does not work by how hard or how strong you can handle the situation on your own. It doesn't work that way. Now, let's go to verse three. But to the saints that are on earth, now he has shifted. He's talked to God directly. Then he talked to a soul acknowledging that his soul has talked to God directly. Now he's saying, "But to the saints that are on that are in the earth and to the excellent in whom is all my delight." In other words, into the powerful Savior we have, the powerful Lord we have in whom is all my delight, a valuable thing. Now he's saying, look it, look it. He's saying, I am talking to you saints and to God. I want you to see that I have a delight in my Lord. Even though all this is going on, I delight in him and I put him first by acknowledging and speaking that word. And it's so powerful because he's saying this is my this is what I value. This is what's valuable to me. That's where desire desire is. You value it. Do you desire a new car or do you desire God? God himself and his blessings or just God himself sometimes and that's what this teaching is all about is doesn't matter whether we get healed or not. Sometimes just coming into his presence is enough. It's just what I needed. Even uh people who are non-believers or have one foot in the world and one foot in uh the word even they will acknowledge going to a counselor speaking to someone because they get it off their chest. They go into the presence of this counselor. Well, you have the greatest counselor ever, our heavenly father. He is so valuable. We desire him and his presence. And when you do that, things happen. You get it off your chest. This is someone you can confide in. This is someone who you can trust that this is someone you can call and have him place his heads of protection around you. He's got you. And understand when I talk about being in his presence and and we're not talking about being in church. I've already addressed that. We're talking about stopping wherever you are. It can be in your car. So, we're not talking about a physical place. We're talking about a mental place, a place in the mind that we know we can go before our God, that we can trust in him, that we can know that he's got his hedge of protection around us, and that we take our mouth and acknowledge it. Hallelujah. Verse four, their sorrows shall be multiplied that hasten after another God. Remember he's talking to the saints of the earth and he's saying their sorrows which is idols pain wound shall be multiplied that hast another god their drink offerings of blood will I not offer nor take up their names into my lips. Now I want to pause here and I want to address something because this is going to bring to light hopefully the understanding of this entire teaching. Who do you believe? And I've taught on this before. Do you believe the doctor or do you believe God? And he's clearly mentioning this here. I want you to see that anybody who goes after another god is your doctor your god is your music your god is running away your god. Oh, see the moment you don't put God first, you're doing the opposite. You're going after another God. And whatever sorrow, whatever pain, whatever wound, whatever idol you're looking at is going to multiply and it's not going to help you. So if you've been asking God to heal you, do this, do that, but you do it on Sunday service and the rest of the week you you're just a healing that nobody in your world knows that you even believe in a God. Well, then you're sending mixed messages to God. You know, why should he heal you? I just asked that question. Now, keep in mind, he's going to heal whomever he wants and he has healed unbelievers. So, you know, God can do whatever he wants to do. I'm just trying to get you to understand that when Jesus says your faith has made you whole, your your faith made you healed, you can be healed through your faith. It's up to you if you want to stop and spend some time with the Lord. Now, here's the thing is that it doesn't matter if you get healed or not because just being in his presence is the healing that heals your soul. heals your spirit, heals everything inside, helps you change things and turn things around. It gives you the confidence. It re uh reinvigorates you, gives you energy, strength because that's who God is. He's life. So you become alive, fresh in his presence. Verse five, the Lord is a portion of mine inheritance and of my cup. Which that word cup represents the words to hold together. Let me let me see if I can address this in a way there. Sometimes you get to a line and you are barely holding it together and you know that if that line got crossed, you're going to lose everything in your mind. you're going to lose everything that you you you think it's going to just be all lost at this point because you reach that point, that point where your cup breaks because it's no longer being held together. So it says, "The Lord is the portion of my inheritance and of my cup that hold he's the one that holds it together. Thou maintainest my lot." You see, still the psalmist is saying, "You're holding me together." That's because he's entering into his presence. The psalmist is talking about being in the presence because he spoke into the Lord. He invoked the Lord's by calling on his name, which we're going to see scripture here in just a moment about that. So, he's saying, "The Lord is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup that holds it together." See, God is the one who's going to hold you together. He's the one who's going to keep you from crossing the line. He's the one who's going to show you that that mountain is a molehill, that it's not as big as you think it is, that it is simpler, that life is a joy. Let's continue to see what the psalmist says. Verse six, the lines or your district or the inheritance that that God draws out, that's what this is referring to, are fallen unto me in pleasant places. Yeah, I have a goodly heritage. He's acknowledging life's good for him. So there is now no problem that he was started talking about in verse one. All of a sudden he says, "The Lord has given me my lines, my portions, and they're good." Why? Because he called on the Lord. He's in the presence of the Lord. Have you ever gone into the presence of the Lord and just cried? Man, that's a refreshing thing. I'll tell you what, I I cry a lot. I'm sure you guys are aware of that. And as a result it I mean it just takes it gets comes out of you and you feel really good. You feel very healthy. You feel very strong and you know that God has it. He's taking care of it. So you have a trust that you can rely upon because you went to him and cried it out or you went to him and talked to him about it even just before teaching this. You know, I I'm dealing with a little scheduling issue here with with getting these teachings out and the desire of how much I want to teach you and how much I want to delve into the word of God. And so there I was just crying it out to the Lord, making the inside of me feel vulnerable and having to, you know, address that to the Lord. Yeah, I'm not strong and everything and I'm not holier than that. I make mistakes all the time, but I know who my God is and I choose to be in his presence. It's a choice. It's an action. You have to speak the word and you get into that presence with him. And let me just simply say that there are no describable words for it. But more happens in that moment than any good or a thousand good preachers can preach. You know, don't even, you know, I I know you're you're hearing this message. You're listening, but don't take my word for it. Go try it. Get into the presence of the Lord. Let his Holy Spirit manifest in you and change the way you are on the inside because that's what this is all about. Spending time in his presence. I will bless the Lord who has given me counsel. And that's another thing is that the Lord will give you counsel. Just even reading the word of God here, we're given counsel to come into his presence because we know we're going to get more out of that than we going and seeing a pastor or going and seeing a counselor or going and seeing someone. If you need to be prayed with with someone, go up and be prayed with them. But remember to come into his presence and say, "Lord, I need you. Lord, I I need you." whatever it may be. This is where now you get to come before him. And I love how a lot of the psalmists and David was saying, "Give ear to my word." Call, they're actually tugging on the Lord's ear. Come here. I need you to hear what I'm saying. That's being in the presence of the Lord. Some people think, "No, no, no. That's too holy. I I I'm not worthy to do that. Hey, let me let you in on a little secret." Jesus has redeemed you. And because you're redeemed, God calls you righteous. And he will let you tug on his ear. Hallelujah. You have his attention. Every time you come into his presence, Lord, doesn't matter what. In this case, the psalmist says, "Place your head to protect me, headed your hedge around me to protect me, and then I will trust in you." that's what his need is here in this circumstance. But imagine, Lord, look at my finances. I've got a problem. Or Lord, hey, this doctor is saying something that I disagree with. What can we do to get out of this because I don't want to follow that path. I choose you. And the moment you press in, the moment you're into his presence, the moment you speak your word, things change because that's who God is. He transforms the circumstance and the situation which is what we need. And look at this. So I will bless the Lord who has given me counsel. Talking about what the Lord is doing to him. So he's going to bless him. He says, "But my reigns," by the way that's kidneys or figuratively the mind. It's from the inside. My reigns also instruct me in the adversity seasons or the night seasons. My reigns, we want to do things our way. And when we're in that night season, that dark time, that pain wounded moment when we are in that situation, he is telling us he's going to bless the Lord no matter what. See, he can't sleep at night. Whatever the circumstances, it is bothering him. It is hurting him. And he's saying, "I'm going to bless the Lord. Even with my mind, which is telling me to worry about it, never mind. I'm going to choose to bless the Lord. I'm going to choose to enter his presence. I'm going to choose to call upon the name of the Lord Jesus and be saved, healed, delivered, preserved." We're going to see that here shortly. And notice he's making um active decisions in this. He's deciding to do this. Verse eight, I have set the Lord always before me. Always before me. There's moments where we're in full joy, but he's saying, "I love you, Lord. I bless you, Lord. I thank you, Lord." There's moments though that he's he's in a circumstance. Well, Lord, I'm going to call on you anyways because you're my inheritance and I bless your name and I call on your name and I know you are there and I will trust and confide in you. So, he says, "Always before me, because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved or wavered." Meaning, he's going to continue to do that. The devil can't touch him. If you're in a situation where you're dealing with circumstances, a lot of it might be because you're not spending time in the presence of the Lord. But when you get there, he can't even touch you because you're so busy saying, "Lord, I bless you. Lord, I love you. Lord, I give you glory. Lord, I know you got this situation taken care of." That is what we're talking about. This is the type of moment we should be in at all times. Ready for it because life will throw us curve balls. Curveballs. We know that. We've all experienced those things. But God, he intervenes because where is he? I have said the Lord always. He is at my right hand. He's right here holding on to my hand. Amen. I shall not be moved, wavered. And then verse nine, therefore my heart is glad and my glory rejoice rejoicth. My flesh also shall rest in hope, a place of refuge because he knows. Give it a little bit more time and the circumstance is going to turn around. You see, prayer works. And when you pray, you speak the spoken word and you're in his presence because you blessing him. you're calling on him, everything turns around for the better. Look at verse 10. For thou will not leave my soul in hell. Hallelujah. Cuz see, the spirit that I just taught on this last week, the spirit that is in me is the same spirit that's in Christ. And that spirit rose Christ from the dead is going to raise me up from the dead as well. And the psalmist knew this. And he hadn't even met Jesus, but he knew who God is, the father. and who that's who he's acknowledging in his presence. He's coming into his presence. For thou wil not leave my soul in hell, neither wil thou suffer appoint thine holy one to see corruption or destruction. You see, God doesn't want to see us destroyed. He doesn't want to see us lose, but he's trying to teach us how to come to him first and how to be in his presence, how to call on his name, how to put him into the circumstance because unbelievers and believers alike all face the same circumstances. How do you face yours? Are you calling on the name of the Lord? Are you spending time in his presence so that you know to call on the name of the Lord? be encouraged as you spend more time in the presence of the Lord, the more you're going to be calling on him. And that's the way it ought to be. Amen. And then coming back to our opening scripture here, thou wil show me the path of life. Oh, see these are the results of pushing in, talking to him, acknowledging to your soul and acknowledging to the Lord that you will bless him and that I'm not going to move because you're at my right hand. Here he's saying, you're going to show me the path of life and in your presence is the fullness of joy. At thy right hand there are pleasures for e forever more. This is what we have gi been given and we ought to call him on it. And by the way, all of us should do that because we all have that right to it. Romans 10:13, for whosoever shall call. See, the psalmist spoke. Jesus spoke. And here Romans is telling us, call, speak, invoke, worship, decide, appeal upon the name of the Lord, and you'll be saved, delivered, protected, healed, preserved. Not just from eternal death and hell, but for eternal life and every situation you face. It's almost like being at a bank and and bank robbers rob uh walking in. Call upon the name of the Lord. He will save you out of that situation immediately. Immediately. Please understand this. This is He's there. He, you know, when Peter saw Jesus walking on the water, I talked about this last week. Peter, you know, said, "If you are the Lord, call me out to you." And and the Lord said, "Come out here." And he did until the moment he realized he he perceived all of a sudden, "I'm doing something I'm not supposed to be doing. I'm walking on water." And he starts to sink. And he says, "Jesus, save me." Call and puts his arm out. And Jesus immediately was right there and saved him. Jesus will save us immediately. You need to invoke him. Worship. Even before I talked to him about this, I was worshiping the Lord. As I was preparing for this, folding my laundry, putting away just worshiping the Lord and just telling him how holy he is because I didn't know what to teach on today. and and I just have to trust in the Lord of what he's going to do. And it is so wonderful because he's showing me and as I was standing there being in his presence, how wonderful. I mean, it it does so much to what's going on on the inside. And he's saving me, delivering me, healing me, preserving me. Oh, hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. I didn't go to the next scripture. Let's go to Psalm 103 and look at the blessings we have here. These are uh the blessings that this psalmist wrote. And he says in verse 10, "He hath not dealt with us after our sins, nor rewarded us according to our iniquities." Very important to understand here. You're saved. Don't let the devil tell you otherwise. God doesn't deal with you based on your sin. And that's exactly what he's saying here. He's not rewarding us for that either. He says, "For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is his mercy toward them that fear him." That is so very important that we understand his mercy. We can come into his presence every single time and be saved every single time. come out of our circumstance and situation every time we can call on his name, invoke his name, declare his name. That's the right we've been given. Go back. Let's go further back into Psalm 103. Let's read verses 2 through5. Bless the Lord, oh my soul, and forgot forget not all his benefits. You see, you've been redeemed and you ought to be walking in it, which means being in his presence, which is better than going to a movie, better than going out with friends. Better than this or that. You can go out with friends. There's nothing wrong with that. But make sure that you also put your time in into his presence. Amen. Who forgiveth all thine iniquities. He pardoned us. Who healed health men, all thy diseases. He's healed us. He's healed us from our sicknesses and diseases. Every time you spend time in the Lord, I've been teaching on this for years as well. You sin and the consequence of sin cannot stand in the presence of the Lord. So when you press into his presence, sin has to flee. Which means the consequence of sin has to flee. cancer, sickness, diseases, they're gone. They're healed because he pardoned our iniquities and he healed all of our diseases. Who redeemed us. He bought us back. He bought us life from destruction. He crowns us with loving kindness and tender mercies. And he satisfies our mouth with good things so that our youth is renewed like the eagles. I'm 55 years old now. I could use some renewing of the youth like the eagles. I'm going to tell you this is what we ought to do as believers in Christ. Come into his presence. Get these benefits. And if you have to remind yourself, print, type up these scriptures, print them out, put them up on your wall. Every time you see them, you declare it. You speak it because you invoke the name of Jesus. You're reminding your soul. You're reminding your body. You're reminding your flesh. You're reminding your life that he comes first. Amen. Let's close in a word of prayer. Father God, we thank you for your word and we bless your word. We pray that we apply your word and that it does not leave our minds and our hearts that we live it and give you the glory, the honor, the praise, and the strength. Thank you, Father God, for be our being our savior, our redeemer, and our healer. In Jesus name we pray. Amen. Amen. God bless. Have a great week. I'll see you in the next video. Bye-bye.

- UNDERSTANDING THE BOOK OF REVELATION PART 5 | House of Faith Ministries (HoFM)
UNDERSTANDING THE BOOK OF REVELATION PART 5 Equip listeners to grasp the Revelation 7–9 timeline—how the church age closes, how the first half of the Tribulation unfolds through the seven trumpets and the first two “woes,” why God’s judgments fall on “one-third” of creation, and how these events aim to drive repentance while God preserves a sealed remnant of Israel. UNDERSTANDING THE BOOK OF REVELATION PART 5 Pastor Marcos Marrero May 31, 2009 Objective: Equip listeners to grasp the Revelation 7–9 timeline—how the church age closes, how the first half of the Tribulation unfolds through the seven trumpets and the first two “woes,” why God’s judgments fall on “one-third” of creation, and how these events aim to drive repentance while God preserves a sealed remnant of Israel. Synopsis: The message opens with prayer and spiritual warfare, declaring the gathering a “no-fly zone” for the enemy. The teacher then reviews a dispensational reading of Revelation: the church age (seven churches/seals) gives way to the Rapture, after which the Holy Spirit’s church-age anointing lifts. The Laodicean-type church is portrayed as remaining to face testing. The first six seals are recapped—especially wars, deception, famine, and cosmic disturbance—framed as forces that shaped church history and culminate in a visible unveiling of Christ at the sixth seal. Matthew 24 is woven in to show parallel signs and the call for believers to “look up.” Turning to Revelation 8–9, “about half an hour” of silence in heaven is interpreted as the first 1,260 days (three and a half years) of Tribulation. Seven angels receive seven trumpets, signaling swift, concentrated judgments that mingle heaven’s fire with “the prayers of the saints” (divine recompense). The first four trumpets strike one-third of earth, sea, rivers, and heavenly lights—read as spiritual forces now driving history toward three escalating “woes.” Woe 1 (fifth trumpet): a fallen “star” (Satan) opens the abyss; demonic “locusts” torment people for five months but cannot harm those sealed by God (Israel’s remnant). This visible collision of the spiritual and physical realms is presented as severe mercy—exposing the reality of demons so that many will repent. Woe 2 (sixth trumpet): four destroying angels bound at the Euphrates are released to kill a third of humanity, accompanied by a 200-million strong, terrifying cavalry. Despite judgments, many still refuse to repent of demon-worship, violence, sorcery, sexual immorality, and theft (Rev 9:20–21). The two witnesses (identified here as Enoch and Elijah) establish Temple worship and law, confront the rising Antichrist/false prophet, and are killed after 1,260 days; the world celebrates until God raises them, along with those martyred in faithful repentance. Throughout, the speaker emphasizes: God judges the Church first (escape via faithfulness to Jesus and His Word), then purifies Israel and the nations; judgments are purposeful—to reveal Christ, unmask Satan, and compel a choice. The message closes urging readiness, repentance, and reliance on the Holy Spirit to discern spiritual truth and endure faithfully. Inspired Teaching - Written and/or Transcribed from Video Above: [Music] Thank you Jesus. Hallelujah. Praise God. Praise the Lord. Father in heaven, in Jesus name, we take we take authority right now, Father God, over every principality, every power, every dominion, every spirit of wickedness, Father God, in the name of Jesus. And we bind them right now. We thank you, dear Lord Jesus, for we declare this uh service tonight a no-fly zone, Father God. uh where uh no works of the enemy can prosper, Father God. For we declare them dead tonight, Father God, we bind them so that they will not interfere with the word of God as it goes forth tonight. We thank you now that as we humble ourselves before you, Father God, come to praise and to worship you and honor your presence here tonight. Father God, we ask that you would give us ears to hear. That you would open our hearts to understand and to receive and that you would allow your word, Father God, to bring life and joy and peace into our spirit, soul, and body. Father God, to the glory of your son, Jesus, we pray. Amen. Praise God. Hallelujah. We um uh so far have gone through the first uh seven chapters of the uh book of Revelation. Today we're going to deal with the seventh chapter and then move on. But basically we said that God works through dispensations. And we said that the dispensation of grace which is the church age when Jesus came and said I will build my church and the gates of hell will not prevail against it up until the time when the church it is rapture that means that the anointing power of God which is the Holy Spirit who landed God himself landed upon the 120 uh disciples and it was manifested by tongues of fire upon their heads. that anointing will be removed at that time because we said 120 time 50 equals 6,000 or the end of the six day work weak. So basically when the church is removed the the Holy F is God is everywhere. He's not removed but the anointing that was upon the church is removed because there's a church that's going to be left the Leoa church that have to go through the through the testing. And that's how they earned their salvation. They're the ones that have Jesus on the outside in in Revelation 3:20 to the church of Leo. They say Jesus says, "I stand at the door and knock. If you open the door, I will come in." Meaning that that's the only church that doesn't have Jesus in it. And so that church has to go through the through the trials and tribulations that will be taking place uh uh during that time. But we know that the seven that the uh 2,000 years of church that we have right now were divided into seven. I I got water here, but thank you. I'll take it. I'm going to call I'll take it. The other one kind of water. Thank you. Anyway, so the that that was divided into seven and we saw that it was seven seals. In the physical revelation of the church age, God gave us seven churches. Jesus appeared to John and send the message to seven churches and you can go historically from the beginning. Uh a church that was very much on fire for God and you can follow it to where it comes to I think it's our to where it says you have a reputation of being alive but you're dead. you know the to the church history and then it comes up to the last two churches where one is is going to be taken away and the other one is going to be left. And then when we came to the spiritual side of that we saw that it was through seven seals and we saw by by the paper that we had that that the seven seals uh the first four seals were the horses. the white horse, the red horse, the black horse, the pale horse. And this symbolized the spirit or the force that was moving the church age. And we saw that through Hitler and through the wars and the different things that were going on, the one world power that was going, the spirit of Antichrist. As a matter of fact, as we move on, you will see that there's three spirits jump out of the Antichrist like three frogs. I believe that those three spirits is the spirits that that govern the world today. One is Freud as you know Sigman Freud introduced the um uh uh the psychology that affects so much today. The other one was Carl Marx who introduced to us socialism which is what's trying to unite the world today. And the um and the fourth was um and the third one was um uh Darwin with evolution. those three spirits uh uh Freud, Darwin and and and Marx are the three forces that are governing today. And you'll see those spirits come out like frogs in the middle of the of the tribulation. So we know that there are spiritual forces driving the thing. So that we found out then that uh uh the the fifth seal deals with bringing Israel back as a nation and and bringing the world as a as as a united uh world, the new world order, which is what they're talking today. And when the sixth seal was open, we know that that involves a war that will take place on 1/4th of the earth. And that's the Middle East. And this will be an army that comes from the north who many believe is Russia with with uh Bethtomga, that's where Turkey is today and Persia, that's where Iran is today. And he names the people that come and it will invade Israel. And God is going to use that opportunity to show himself holy. In other words, right now, everybody has a different God. When this sixth seal takes place, the physical realm that we live in is going to be tore open. It's like a scroll. The sky is going to rolled up. See, those say they didn't have books like we do. They had uh uh scrolls that were rolled and you open it to read it. But if you let it go, it it rolled up again. He says that's what the sky is going to do. The sky is going to rolled up and then all of a sudden we're going to see Jesus. We're going to see God. Everybody in the whole world is going to see it. And then that's when the wrath of God is about to begin. So there is a conjunction. Then the first three chapters one, two, and three give us the physical history of the church age. Uh verses four, chapters four, five and six give us a spiritual version of it. And then on chapter 7, we have a coming together. A coming together. Now, last week I kind of make a made a parenthesis in the fact that we had to deal with in Matthew 24 Jesus says no one knows the day nor the hour. And the thing is if we see that Russia or some power from the north is invading Israel and that Israel is about to fall, you know, then we know that Jesus is about to come. And that's what he said. Jesus told the disciples when he gave him all of the sign. He said, "When you see these things begin to happen, look out. This is not the time." What what did he say when we open the sixth seal? He says, "Men hid to the caves and into the rocks." And he said, "Hide us from the wrath of him who's coming." Jesus says the opposite for us Christian when we see those things begin to take place. He says, "Look out for your redemption is getting very, very close to the word to know." And so I told you and we got ahead a little bit of ourselves last week that when Jesus says no one knows the day nor the hour, he's talking about the middle of the wrath of God, the middle of the seven years. And we're probably going to get into that next week in great detail. But let's pick it up now. And if you have the book, we'll be on page um 35. And uh at the bottom of the page, Matthew 24, chapters 40 and 41. And this is in the middle. Jesus is giving us at the beginning of Matthew 24. The disciple asked him, when is going to be the end of the age? What is going to be the sign that you're coming? So Jesus goes through a great list of things that will take place. He said, "Be careful that no one deceive you." That's a white horse. He says because many antichrist will come and say I am he and they will deceive many. Then he says there will be wars and rumors of war. That's the second horse. And they said will be famines and and and all kinds of uh economic things. He says that's not the end yet. And then when the when the fourth comes in that's when you say when the son of man come to come the lightning that flashes from the east goes to the west. I don't know if you ever had a lot of lightning storms every every summer and when a real big lightning falls close to where you are and you see it not just far. It's almost like the light in a lightning is so bright. It's almost like a crack appear in the middle of reality and you can see through the other side. I don't know if you ever felt that when I seen lightning real close. That's what it looked like. And that's what it is. the the the spiritual realm where God is is so bright that it when that happen, it's going to be like a crack that opens. And that's what Jesus says. Before I come, it's going to be like lightning. It's going to flash from the east to the west and boom, the sky is going to roll up like a scroll and you're going to see the bright light. And the people who love darkness are going to be fleeing to the caves and going to be scared thinking the end of the world is there. But for us who believe, we're going to be rejoicing because we know that our salvation is very near. So that's why I dealt with that day known only to the Lord. That when he said there's a day that is known only to the Lord, that is in the middle of the seven years, the wrath of God, when God kind of brings all of the clocks together. We just have our first conjunction of the clock. We had the 144th generation from Adam to us. I believe the 144th generation was born when Israel was born as a nation. And they call the generation today the baby boomer generation. I mean it even had one of the few generations that was named, you know, the the the baby boomer generation. That's that's I believe that's the last generation. The Bible says that Jesus is going to come before that generation ends. If it's 1947 or 1948, that takes you to 2017 or 2018. So that means the seven years had to take place before that because the seven years happened. That means 2010 is as far as we can go. If if this is the case, that that's how close we are, guys. That's how close I believe we are, you know. Yeah, that's how close we are. I believe that we're not close because if that last generation is the generation that was born when Israel was born, those seven years have to take place because the seven years include all of the events that Jesus says is going to take place. And those he says this generation shall not pass away until all of those events pass. Those events are going to pass transpire through the seven-year period. That means that the seven year have to start no later than 2010. Now might interest some of you that the Mayan calendar uh that was there in Mexico and in Peru that they found they calculated that the end of the world will be in 2017 and they have a snake that's called or whatever the snake supposed to come on on on se no on December 24th of 2011. They figure that this snake is going to come from the sky. You know it says in Revelation chapter 13 there was a a a dragon in the sky and his tail drew a tear of the stars. These people knew this back then. You see these are spiritual things and those people were deep into the spiritual things except they were into the dark part of the spiritual things. But now let's begin. If you got the books page 35 or go to Matthew 24 verse 40 and 41. And this is the rapture. He says, "Then two men will be in the field." No, this is this is the middle of the tribulation. The two then two men will be in the field. One will be taken and the other one left. Two women will be grinding at the meal. One will be taken and the other one left. And and then uh and then it says that it will be a day that is truly a day known only to the Lord. Now what is happening there is uh during the middle of the tribulation everybody will be killed by what we're going to be beginning to study today. Everybody that's on the earth one-third of the earth is going to be killed. So if the Jews are going to inherited a physical land and are going to have physical bodies because when we're resurrected our bodies are changed. Jesus says that in the resurrection we will have bodies like the angels who neither marry nor are given in marriage. I mean when we get our new bodies we're not going to have husbands wife. Jesus is the husband. He's is our Lord and all of us belong to him. So we're not going to be able to reproduce. So basically God has to keep some Jewish people that will be able to reproduce. Now, amazingly enough, only God knows our genetic makeup. And when it says there that one will be taken and one will be left, this is the Assa. That's what the day of the Lord was about. That's what the day of atonement was about. When you brought the two goats, you cast lots. One was led into the wilderness and one was taken to the slaughter. That mean you if you're a Jew, because that's for the Jews. If you're a Jew and you're married and either you, the husband or the wife, don't have the right genes, when the day of atonement comes, one of them will be killed. The other one will be spared to go into the wilderness. And then they're the ones that are going to be taken into the the caves and they're going to reproduce after the seven years so that God will have a physical inheritance. This is why you see that at the end of the thousand years, Satan is loosened. He had to be loosened because none of those people has ever faced temptation because Satan is bound with a great chain and is throwing into into the great pit. So I just wanted to conclude that from last week which took us ahead but just to to bring it down uh to that a scripture that I failed to use last week also is Jeremiah 33 2021 which is on page 36 and the Lord says thus sayeth the Lord if you can break my covenant with the day and my covenant with the night so that there will be not so that there will not be a day and a night in their in my season in their season. Then my covenant may also be broken with David, my servant, so that he shall not have a son to reign on his throne and with the Levites, the priest, my minister. Notice how in Jeremiah, God says, I have a covenant with the day and with the night. That means God has a covenant where the sun has to go up and down or, you know, we see that it's going up and down, but where the earth has to go around. God says that covenant he made with David and he told David as long as day time and night time comes you will have a king to fall an anointed person to rule over you. You know many this is where the the uh uh many people believe that Jeremiah went wound up in in England. This is why so many of them are named Jeremy. And some people say that the stone that was underneath the the the throne back then is on the underneath the throne of England. There's all kinds of things that you can follow. But I believe the church today sits on the throne of David. And as soon as the throne of David is removed, uh the church is removed because if you look in Revelation chapter three when the Philadelphia church says, "I will open uh he will have the key of David and he will open that which cannot whatever he opens nobody can close and whatever he closes nobody can open." The key of David means the anointing that was upon David or upon Israel that's the anointing that is in the church. When the church is removed, that anointing is visited upon the Jews, 144,000 of them. But they rebel. Believe it or not, Israel rebels in the middle of the tribulation. As as they rebel, what happens is they will cease to have. See, when the antichrist takes over, they will not be one single entity on the earth to represent God's businesses here on earth. Right now, the church, the true church represent God's businesses. Israel represented it before that. Israel is going to represent it for the first 1260 days that we're going to cover now. But when they rebel and they are all killed and only a remnant is taken away and they're hidden some place, they will not be an agency on the earth that has to kill David. That's when the antichrist actually rises up and takes over. This is why the Bible says that during that time and if you got the book I got all of the scriptures there you can read it that then an angel from heaven comes and proclaimed the everlasting gospel. The gospel then has to be proclaimed by an angelic agency during that time. And you know what the angel says? If you accept the mark of the beast you'll go to hell forever and you will be beheaded for not accepting it. So I'm just kind of giving you a background of where we're getting into because this is a little bit more deeper. Now, what we're going to do, we're going to go to the uh the page 37. And if you got your book, we're going to go to Revelation chapter 8, verse one. If you want to follow through the Bible, this is what happens after the rapture. We are taken away. There was a war in Israel. Uh all of the sudden, as Israel is being surrounded by armies, the armies are surrounding Jerusalem. Jesus intervene when the sixth seal is open there's a great earthquake all of the foundations of the mountains all over the world will be moved the mean here in California all of those uh uh uh base of the mountains are all going to be shaken it says every wall is going to fall and then the sky is going to recede everybody's going to know that Jesus is coming as we're taken away now begins a period of time which is 1,260 days or the first half of the seven years. And God is going to concentrate his efforts or his focus on this first half is going to be Israel because he takes Israel and anoints them and the two witnesses that come who is uh Enoch and Elijah are going to establish the law and temple worship during that time and they're going to tell the world you have to fulfill the law. You have to live by the law. And it says that during that 1,260 days, any nation who does not follow the law that they laid down, rain is not going to come upon them. There's going to be famine. There's going to be all kinds of things. So now the law is given. Now, let's look at the spiritual side of the first 1,260 days after we're gone. Revelation 8:1. And when he had opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven about the space of a half an hour. Now if you remember you have the four which produce the two and the seventh always is the one that connects you into the next realm. Like when you have innocent conscience, human government promise out of those four things comes Israel and the church. And when Israel and the church combine comes the kingdom age. Then on the church age we had the white horse, the red horse, the black horse, the pale horse. Then we had the souls under the altar. We had the wrath of the lamb. And then when the church is raptured, that leads us into the seven years wrath of God. Now we're going to see the same principle over here. If you have this is the first, the second, the third, and the fourth trumpets that are going to be taking place. Now notice that it says about the space of a half an hour. Now what God is going to do here, he's already judged the church. How were we judged? If you kept his word and if you believe on the deity of Jesus, you're gone. He says, "Because you have kept my word and you have not deny my name, I will keep you from the hour." Listen to what Jesus says. The scripture is there. It this in Revelation chapter 3:10. Because you have kept my command to persevere, I also will keep you from the hour of trial which shall come upon the whole world to test those who dwell in the world. So the judgment of God begins with the church. You believe his word, you keep his name, he's going to keep you from the hour that's coming to test it. The church le say those believe the word, they get left. So that is the judgment of the church. One of them is gets gone. One gets left behind. Now we begin the judgment of Israel. Before you can judge Israel, you have to put him back in charge. Anointing. So 144,000 of them are are anointed. This is done through the two witnesses. to step when the cloud is open out of heaven. They send these two witnesses who have never died who were taken up to heaven and have to come to earth to die because the Bible says it is appointed of men once to die. Then comes the judgment since Elijah never died and see it cannot be Moses. Moses died and was buried. If Moses died twice, dying twice is the second death. That's them for eternity. You don't want to die a second time. You just want to die the natural death and that's it. And we're already dead in Christ. So we don't even die. The Bible says absent from the body, present with the Lord. Our body may die, but we just go straight up to heaven. So the idea here is now that God is going to deal with Israel and he's going to deal with him in this hour. Remember this hour uh I think it's in in Isaiah says, "For the day of the Lord is the year of retribution." That's 365 Sabbath. Jesus called this period of time the hour. He says that uh in in Revelation 3:10, I will keep you from the hour of trial. The fact that it says in Revelation chapter 81, there was in silence in heaven for about half an hour, meanings that we're going to be dealing with the first half of the seven-year period. So everything you see here now is going to is what's going to happen from day one when we get taken out to 1,260 days which is by the way three and a half years. Three and a half years. This is what's going to happen. Okay. And uh Revelation 8 2 through 6. And I saw seven angels who stand before God. And to them were given seven trumpets. Then another angel having a golden sensor came and stood at the altar. He was given much incense that he should offer it with the prayers of all of the saints upon the golden altar which was before the throne. And the smoke of the incense with the prayers of the saint ascended before God from the angel's hand. Then the angel took the sensor filled it with a fire from the earth the altar and threw it to the earth. And there were noises, thunderings, lightning, and an earthquake. So the seven angels who had the seven trumpers prepared themselves to sound. Here we see if if you remember when the fifth seal was open in Revelation chapter 6, when the fifth seal was open, he says, "I saw the souls under the altar of those who have been slaughtered for the sake uh of the word." He doesn't call them Christian. I believe that these are the Jews and the many people who believe the word but they were not Christian. And he saw them dressed in white. They were given harps and they asked God, "How long before you judge the world for what they did to us? How long before you judge Hitler and before you judge Staling and before you judge all of this tyrant that's been killing us and killing us and killing us and raping our children and killing our How long? Now notice that it says there that as the seventh seal is open in heaven, we see that there's lightnings and thunders and an angel takes like a some kind of a bowl or something. He the fire that's burning out of the altar of God. He fills it with that puts incense. Incense is like prayer. You know incense is a powder. You throw it in the fire and it goes up and the incense is mixed with the prayers of the saints. This is payback time, baby. That's what that mean. This is payback time. Every soul that got in heaven, every person got resurrected in heaven that was mistreated, that was beaten, that was whoever it was that did it. This is where nations are going to be judged. Nations, you know, when the Jews were were were being slaughtered, many nations did not want them. Cuba, they they had a big ship full of Jews and they turned him back. I believe that's why we had had 50 years of Fidel Castro, the mystery we had, you know, and this is how it's been. nations are going to be judged by how they treated not only Jews but the Christians who are now in heaven are saying to God yeah that guy over there he he killed 150,000 of us this is time so when this fire is released the prayers of the saint that's saying how long before you judge it is make and is throwing down onto the earth and it comes in the form of seven trumpets now the seals the first four seals where in the form of a horse that gallops and gallops and gallop takes forever. A trumpet is this is fast. This is not going to take a long time to take place. When the trumpet blows, this thing is going to begin. And so it it it as a reference you can look at Deuteronomy 32 34 and 35 where God says, "Is this not laid up in store with me? Seal upon my treasures. Vengeance is mine and recompense. Their foot shall slip in due time. For the day of their calamity is at hand, and the things to come hasten upon them." So this is the beginning now of the judgment of God upon the world. Now Revelation 8:7 says the first angel that's on next page 39 says the first angel sounded and hail and fire followed mingled with blood and they were thrown to the earth and a third of the trees were burned up and all green grass was burned up. Now I want you to see the symbolism here. During the third seal he says 14th 1/4 you need to understand four is a number for the physical creation. You have east, west, north and south square. Everything is square. You saw the four angels holding back the four winds on the corners of the earth. This is speaking about a judgment that was man against man. This is why Israel was invaded. Now we're coming to spiritual judgment. That's what number three is. Number three is the number of the spirit. God the father, God the son, God the holy spirit. So you see that the judgments here are based on onethird one-third of the trees. In in Revelation 8:7 it says, "And a third of the trees were burned out." Revelation 8:9, the second angel sounded like a great mountain burning with fire. A turn of the living a third of the living creatures in the sea died. Revelation 8:10 and 11. A third of the waters became warm wood and many men died from the water because he was made bitter. And the fourth trumpet and the fourth angel sounded. This is Revelation 8:12. And a third of the sun was struck and a third of the moon and a third of the stars. So a third of them were darkness and a third of the day did not shine likewise the night. So the night. So what we see here now is a spiritual judgment. First there was a physical judgment. The churches were judged in the physical. Whether we kept the word of God, whether we believe that Jesus is the son of God, whether we believe that the word of God is a real uh uh that the Bible is a real word of God. We deny we did not denied his name and we kept his word. And then there was a physical army, man against man. That was the first judgment or the end of the church age was the war, man versus man. People who hate the people of God. Did you know I was reading I just got my thing from the uh the Assemblies of God International. They send uh every three months they send the magazine. The most popular books that are out right now, three or four books, are all about atheists spouting their hate towards the children of God, towards the word of God. There's so much demand for the books that they're writing. They're having to do printings and printing and printing after that. This is spiritual sign that we're on the end time. Tremendous hate. Why? Because they're demonic. The stronger the demons in them, the more they hate the word of God, the more they hate the people of God. But here in this realm that we're starting right now, it is a spiritual versus the physical. One-third of the trees, one-third of the sea, one-third of the earth, one-third of the skies, the sun, the moon, and the star. What that means now, there's going to be a conflict or war between humans and spirits. And this is what we need to see. these four forces that you see. And remember, you have to keep in mind that these four things are like spirits or forces that are released. And those four things are the the power behind the 1,260 days. These three and a half years are going to be driven by spirits behind the earth, behind the rivers, behind the sea, and behind the stars. This force is going to drive everything to what is called three walls. And let's go to the next trumpet. And now you you'll see it how it makes sense. Revelation 8:13. And I look and I heard an angel flying through the midst of heaven. There is an angel now. This is spiritual. saying with a loud voice, "Woe, wo, wo to the inhabitants of the earth because of the remaining blast of the trump of the three trumpets or of the three angels that have the trumpet that are about to sound." These three wolves are the consequences of these four forces that were unleashed. They were unleashed upon the earth. Now remember for those of you that were here when we just finished our supernatural lesson in the supernatural realm, what did we dealt with? We dealt with the sea saying that's where the seed of Satan is. Then we dealt with the air. That's where the wicked spirit is where the principalities rule from. Then we dealt with the creeping things and we dealt with the cattle. Here's the same thing. This is the whole sphere uh spiritual fear where all these four different levels of demonic Christians are is going to be judged. There is a judgment that is taking place and it will happen when when the fifth when the sixth trumpets blow. Why? Because we saw that we we've been following that principle. The four horsemen were the fourth. Then when the fifth seal was open, we saw Israel being judged so that Israel could come back into the land. When the sixth seal is open, we see the church being judged. One gets left, one gets taken up. And then when we saw the seventh seal open up, that's what led us into the rapture. And that's what leds us into the beginning of the seven years of God's wrath. Now, let's go to the first wall. Revelation 9 verses 1-6. Then the fifth angel sounded and I saw a star falling from heaven to the earth. Now remember star represents spiritual things. In Revelation chapter one at the end of the chapter says here's the mystery of the stars and of the seven lampson. He says the stars are the pastors or the messengers or the force behind the church. The seven lampson represent the church. So here's the spirit. That's what it mean. the first spirit falls down. He says, "And when the fifth angel sounded the trumpet, I saw a star falling from heaven to the earth. To him was given the key to the bottomless pit, and he opened the bottomless pit." Now, how many of you know who this is? This is Satan. Jesus said, "I saw Satan fall down from heaven like lightning." This is Satan. Why? Because right now the third heaven is where Jesus and God are. This is when Jesus in the Lord's prayer says, "Our father who are in heaven, uh, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven." That heaven is the third heaven where God is, his will is done perfectly there. The second heaven, however, where Satan is, his will is not being done there. That's the real of Satan. What is called now the underworld. When Jesus comes, we are not taken to heaven. If you listen carefully, he says that Jesus is going to come to the clouds and that we're going to rise up to the clouds to meet the Lord where on the air. Where is Satan? The prince of what? He is the prince of the power of the air. Satan is on this in between the third heaven and earth right now. When Jesus comes in from the rapture, guess who he kicks out? Satan. Guess where he kicks him out from? The second heaven. And guess who he kicks out with him? All of the demons that are with him right now. So actually at the end of the church age, the second heaven is restored like it was originally. See, that's where Adam lived. Even though Adam was on the earth, it says that at the cool of the evening, they went, Adam and Eve went to fellowship with God. Where? In this in between, God would come down from it's like you having a house and having a garden. God lives in the house. They lived in the in in the outside and they met in the garden with God. The garden is a meeting place. That's where we're going to go. We're never going to go to heaven. People don't understand that. We don't uh if we die now, our spirit, we go to heaven. But during the rapture, if we're alive when the rapture takes place, we're not going to heaven. We're going to the air. That's where Jesus is coming to the clouds to be of the air. And we're going to be with him there forever. The Bible says and then Jesus during the seven years is going to purify the earth. And at the end of seven years, he going to come down to where? To the earth because this is our real. We're physic Home Previous Next
- FELLOW HEIRS | House of Faith Ministries (HoFM)
FELLOW HEIRS The objective of this message is to teach believers their identity and inheritance as fellow heirs with Christ, showing how the mystery revealed to Paul confirms that Gentiles are now partakers of God’s promises through Jesus. The message aims to equip listeners to walk boldly in the authority, power, and love granted to them as co-heirs, living in the dispensation of grace with full access to the gifts and fruits of the Holy Spirit. FELLOW HEIRS Minister Lisa Kane September 20, 2024 Objective: The objective of this message is to teach believers their identity and inheritance as fellow heirs with Christ, showing how the mystery revealed to Paul confirms that Gentiles are now partakers of God’s promises through Jesus. The message aims to equip listeners to walk boldly in the authority, power, and love granted to them as co-heirs, living in the dispensation of grace with full access to the gifts and fruits of the Holy Spirit. Synopsis: In this teaching, Lisa Kane explores the profound truth that Gentiles, through the gospel, have become fellow heirs with Christ (Ephesians 3:6). She explains how Jesus, the Word made flesh, fulfilled God’s plan by temporarily setting Israel aside so that the good news could reach the Gentiles. Through Paul’s revelation, believers now understand the mystery hidden for ages: that we are joint heirs with Christ, empowered by grace to share in His promises and authority. Lisa highlights that this inheritance calls us not only to salvation but also to walk in the same power Jesus demonstrated, empowered by the Holy Spirit to do even greater works. She emphasizes the importance of humility, obedience, and being rooted in love, for love is the foundation of all spiritual fruit and gifts. Drawing from John 14:12 and Paul’s testimony, she illustrates how believers are called to live boldly, ministering in unity as the body of Christ, showing God’s love in action. The message closes with a call to abide in Christ through prayer, Scripture, and obedience, allowing His love to transform hearts and His Spirit to manifest through gifts and fruit. As fellow heirs, believers are encouraged to embrace their divine calling, walking in confidence, boldness, and love to bring salvation and transformation to the world. Inspired Teaching - Written and/or Transcribed from Video Above: Hello and welcome to the House of Faith Ministries. I'm Lisa Kaine and I am recording this teaching on Friday, September 20th, 2024. Welcome. Let's open up in a word of prayer. Father God, we thank you for your word and we pray that your word does not return void. We pray that your word penetrates deep within our soul in our spirit in our mind as knowledge where it manifests the anointing of your holy spirit. Thank you father god. You are precious and holy and in the name of Jesus we pray. Amen. Amen. Welcome. I don't know if you can hear but we've got like a thunderstorm coming over here. So you're going to hear thunder here and it is windy. So and it just came on out of nowhere. So anyways, moving on. This message is called Fellow Heirs. Very excited about this teaching. I hope that you are blessed by it. Let's go to our opening scripture here. Ephesians 3:6. That the Gentiles should be fellows and of the same body and partakers of his promise in Christ by the gospel. So, the way I teach, in case you're new to this uh platform here, I'd like for you to notice that in the King James version, that's the scriptures I use. And the bolded words are the words in the King James version that the translators chose to translate from Hebrew or Greek into English. Well, that word that I have bolded could also mean other things. So like fellow heirs is co-air co-air joint heir together partakers is co-articipants promise is the announcement or pledge and the gospel is a good message so those are the words that could have been used and anyways um I like to add that extra words because it brings a more deeper meaning to us in our spirit. Amen. It just started pouring. Okay. So what is this? So this message is called fellow heirs. So here I want to go into the purpose of what I'm talking about. Jesus came to us as a man even though he was a spirit in the beginning. If you go back to John 1 1 through3 let's let's read that. It says in the beginning was the word and the word was with God and the word was God. The same was in the beginning with God and all things were made by him and without him was not anything made that was made. And remember the word became flesh, which is what Jesus represented. So because that word became flesh, that's Jesus. He was there in the beginning. He was born a woman, grew up a man, died as the son of God, taking on all the sin of the world. He rose from the grave three days later, ascended to heaven just before the day of Pentecost. You can go read about that in Acts 1 and two. So what the coming of Jesus did, he did two things and and you're going to see us fellow heirs. You're going to see us as a participant in the acts of what Jesus did. You're going to see that what we can do today. So uh the coming of Jesus did two things. It put Israel on hold until the return as a nation which happened in 1948 and Jerusalem became the capital in 1967. And this is on hold or Israel's on hold until the day of the Lord takes place. That has not happened yet. Right now we are in the time of the Gentiles. So the second thing Jesus did is he brought the gospel gospel good news to the Gentiles causing us to become fellow heirs with him for those who believe. So he had to put Israel on the sidelines to accomplish this task. He did this by having them rejected. So remember this was all to the purpose of God. He did this on purpose. So to fulfill the purpose of this teaching, we're going to show you what it is to have those promises and the power that Jesus had to do the things that he did. Because if we're co-airs, if we're fellow heirs, we get to do the same thing he did. You're going to see that here in just a moment. So let's go to Ephesians. We're going to be focusing here in chapter 3. So we saw verse 6 is our opening scripture. So now we're going to read verses 2-7. If ye have heard of the dispensation or administration, stewardship, appointed order or age of the grace of God which is given to me to you word. I want to pause here and I I think it's important to address this. There's a lot of teaching out there that says dispensational teaching is not biblical. Well, I'm we are in the fullness of the Gentiles, the dispensation of grace. And you can see Paul clearly talking about that here. If you have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which is given to me to you word. What Jesus did is he redeemed us of our sins. When he died, his pure blood landed on the mercy seat. He rose from the grave in power. And because he did that, he wiped away the sin of the world. And you get to accept that. You get to be a part of that freedom that Jesus accomplished. And to be fellows, guess what? When Jesus died, he rose from the grave. When you die, you rise from the grave. Your joint hes, fellow hes. Okay, I want you to get this and I want you to understand this. Verse three, how that by revelation and notice what he said by the way in verse two of the grace of God which is given to me given me to you word if you heard of this disposition in other words if you believe you heard it you accepted it remember there's a choice here been emphasizing the choice factor over the last couple of teachings verse three how that by revelation or disclosure or manifestation he made known unto me the mystery which is a secret as I wrote a or in few words whereby when ye read ye may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ. There's a secret here that Paul is going to tell us. This is very interesting. I want you to get this. This see the let's continue on. Let's read uh verse five. Which in other ages was not made known unto the sons of men as it see the purpose of Jesus coming. There was prophecy written but the revelation of what he accomplished was not revealed in the past. So Paul is say see when Paul met Jesus on the road to Damascus. Remember Paul was Saul at that time and he was coming after the church big time. He was going because he believed in the Bible the great God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. He did not believe or accept that Jesus was the son of God. So he came after the Christians, but Jesus interveneed on that road to Damascus. And when he intervened, Saul became Paul. And so for the next three years, he went into the wilderness. You see, Paul was the biggest of the Pharisees. He knew the scriptures. But in that three-year time period, he went to see the revelation of what who Jesus is as a son of God through his teachings he grew up with. And so that mystery became revelation to him. He got it. And now he because he's called to teach to the Gentiles, he wants to reveal that message to you and I. And that's what he's saying here. So which in other ages was not made known unto the sons of men as it is now revealed unto his holy apostles and prophets by the spirit that and here's our opening scripture that the Gentiles should be fellow airs and of the same body and partakers of his promise in Christ by the gospel the good message. Verse seven, whereof I was made a minister which is attendant run errands according to the gift of the grace of God given unto me by the effectual working of his power. This is incredible the revelation that Paul is sharing here. So we are in this in between time of putting Israel on hold and before the day of the Lord comes. What we know about this time is that it is the time of the Gentiles. You and I, the the Israelites don't have sacrifices anymore. That's stopped. They didn't have a temple anymore to go into because the power of God wasn't there anymore. The veil's been ripped in two. And it was thick, too. It ripped. But they can walk into the temp. Anybody can walk into the temple now and be a part with God, have a relationship with God, be a partaker of what God and Jesus promised us. So, we're in this in between time, this pause of Israel, the dispensation of grace. And here we are, by the way, as Gentiles teaching and preaching to the world. That's our responsibility. So this mystery that Paul was given was kept from the pro prophets and anyone who lived before Jesus and it became manifested to Paul and he began to write and teach about it and not only to anyone who wanted to read it but to the Gentiles specifically. You see Paul didn't walk with the apostles or the disciples in Jesus day. He came after and yet the Lord used him to get the Gentiles. Cuz see the apostles, the disciples are all Jewish. Paul Jewish. But God said to Jesus said to Paul, "I want you to go teach to the Gentiles." So he did. So, as Paul is explaining, as we continue to read here in Ephesians chapter 3, we need to understand the knowledge, the mystery that was revealed to him, this teaching of the redemption of the blood of Jesus to the Gentiles for the sin. Because in our opening scripture, Paul clearly tells us that we're fellows of this of the same body. We're partakers of this promise that Christ gave to the Israelites and to us. And there's a power that comes with this teaching and it's a gift of the grace of God. So why do we need to know this? Because that's a very good question. Go to John 14:12. Verily, verily, I say unto you, he that believeth or has faith in me, on me, the works or the toil, the labor that I do, Jesus says, shall he, that's you and me, do also, and greater or larger works than these shall he do because I go unto my father. Oh, so see, Jesus isn't here anymore. He ascended into heaven. So, he left us the Holy Spirit. And when you saw the day of Pentecost in Acts chapter 1 and two, you will see the anointing and that power come forth. We have that power, the Gentiles, to minister to those and do greater things than what Jesus did. That's and it almost seems impossible, but let's remember something here. You know, Jesus, a one-man individual, he did a lot while he while he was here. If you remember the end of the last verse of John chapter of the gospel of John which is John 21:2 it tells us that there are also many other things which Jesus did the which they should be written everyone I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written. Amen. So let's understand something here. When Jesus rose from the grave he invited everyone to his grace. Remember, anyone who calls upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. Romans 10:13. Now, Israel rejected him as the son of God. So, they got put on pause. They will be dealt with in the seven-year time period of God's wrath. Go read Revelation and Daniel. But as Gentiles in the time of the Gentiles, we are partakers of this power, and we get to do things even greater than him because we're fellows. So, how is this done? Let's go back to Ephesians 3 and let's start in verse eight here. Unto me who am less than least of all saints. See, Paul is recognizing, listen, I didn't walk with Jesus on the earth. I'm the least of them all. And yet, he walked in power. He walked in authority. And he changed the world with his teaching to the Gentiles. Paul did magnificent things. He continued the ministry of what Jesus was doing, which is what we're called to do as fellow hes. Hope you're getting this. Is this grace given that I should preach among the Gentiles, the unsearchable riches of Christ? You see, everything that Christ has done is worthy, valuable. It's more valuable than money. It's more valuable than our lives because he's saving lives with his ministry. Amen. And to make all men see, this is Paul talking. I'm going to make all men see because this is what he's called to do. What is the fellowship? The mystery. The fellowship of the mystery which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God who created all things by Jesus Christ. Remember, God hid this on purpose. He did this with a purpose and a plan. He kept it hidden. He's revealing it. It's It's as if all of the Old Testament, which is true life events, were written for you and I today in today's generation because we I do believe we're in that last generation just before his return or we won't our generation won't end as he returns. Amen. Let's continue on in verse 10. To the intent that now unto the principalities, you've got these rules. That's what principalities are. And powers as privilege in heavenly places might be known by the church. That's you and I. The calling out the manifold wisdom of God according to the eternal purpose which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord. in whom we have boldness and access with confidence by the faith of him. Wherefore I desire that ye faint not at my tribulations for you which is your glory or honor. So what is he saying here? Let's let's break this down. We have access to these rules and these powers to be bold, to be confident in sharing of the good news. And Paul is encouraging us. He doesn't want us to be bad, weak, fail, weary. This message, we shouldn't get tired of sharing it. It is the most important thing in the world. So when we see tribulations, things that Jesus did, he died on the cross. Every one of the disciples all were martyed except for John. I think he died of natural causes. But either way, they were all martyed. This is a blessing. And I want you to see this is not something we should look at and go. No, what we should do is look at it and say, "Hallelujah." Because see, life and death is in the palm of the hand of God. And the moment we leave our bodies, we come into his presence, absent from the body, present with the Lord. Oh death, oh death, where is your sting? Hallelujah. You see, this is the honor that we have. We get to walk in this confidence, in this boldness, knowing that we are fellow airs with Christ and what his ministry stood for, what his power does. We are the church calling out. We should be walking in this. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Let's go back to Ephesians 3 and we're now in verse 14. For this cause, I bow my knees unto the father of our Lord Jesus Christ. I want you to see something here. Paul is showing us the access, the privilege that we have of getting this power. You see, there's a condition of the heart that makes this possible. And a lot of us aren't ready. I remember years ago, I'm going to share a testimony at our Wednesday night Bible study next week, but a little piece of it. I remember going to tell after hearing the voice of God tell me to go to church. I remember going to confront my husband and in that moment I felt like I had every power and authority that I could do that I could cause lightning to come down. Hey, my husband's still alive so all is well. But how I felt so anticlimatic and defeated when he said, "Okay, I'll go with you." I thought I was going to have to fight him to go to church. Well, the fight came later. But in that moment, I had every power and authority and I knew it. And the reason I teach this now is because I want you to know and understand that as fellow heirs, we have this power. We have this authority to come in and to make a difference and to show people the true power of God. Not witchcraft, not uh voodoo or any of that junk. No, we are looking at the true power and authority of God that we have access to. And he's showing us how to do it. He bowed his knees. So he humbled himself. And then look at what he says. Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named. We come through the descendant or lineage of Adam. Adam failed. But Jesus came through that same line. We come through that same line. We're brothers and sisters with Jesus. I hope you're getting that. In heaven and earth is named. Verse 16. that he would grant give you according to the riches the wealth of his glory to be strengthened. You're you're empowered increased in vigor with might which is that force or miraculous power by his spirit in the inner man. You should be able to feel this on the inside. You should be hearing the anointing of the Holy Spirit. So he started off with the humbling. Remember he humbled himself and now he's got this might. So what happens next? He this verse 17 that Christ may dwell. Oh, wait a second here. Have I been teaching on abiding in the secret place with the Lord? How many messages now? Here's Paul telling us by humbling him, getting that power, you're to dwell in the in your heart with by faith that ye being rooted and grounded in love. Here's love. I just taught on this last week. We need to have love. Without love, it's clanging symbols. It's nothing. And there's people who called out demons in the name of Jesus and did all this because demons know the name of Jesus is powerful. But when that person goes to face judgment with God and that person says, "Well, I cast out all those demons in your name. I did all this in your name." And Jesus says, "I don't know who you are." See the love is absolutely imperative that we have in our hearts. So let's read that again. Verse 17. That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith that ye you being rooted and grounded in love may be able to comprehend. Look at this word comprehend is to take eagerly seize possess with all things. Meaning we got to do this in unity. We do this as a body of Christ. We do this as the church. And look what he says. What is the breadth and length and depth and height? We're gonna continue on in a minute. That just means every part of Jesus. Every part. How high he is, how low he'll go, how far to the left or right he will go to get us. That is what he's telling us here. We can understand that completely by humbling ourselves, getting our love back in our heart, which is understanding the love of God. Jesus did the ultimate love sacrifice. He went to the cross and died for us. That's love. I don't care what anyone else says. It could be, "Oh, I got this feeling and emotion." No, no, no. It's the benevolence. It's the the obligation. Jesus had an obligation and he went and did his duty. That's the kind of love we're talking about. It It's a self-control emotional aspect, but it's a knowing in the mind. I got to go do this because I need so and so to be saved. I got to go tell him. I got to stay strong in the Lord. I got to get in my secret place because I need that love in me to keep moving me forward so that I have it purposed in my heart. I want so and so saved. I gotta get my brother, my sister, my love, my cousins, my parents, my children. This is what you're fighting for. This is what you're living for. Amen. And this is it. And look at this verse 19. And to know the love of Christ. There it is. The affection and benevolence which passes knowledge. It goes past beyond the knowledge of it that ye may be filled with fullness of God. Because that's how you're going to understand that. That's how you're going to know this. You see, by humbling ourselves and and understanding what Christ did on the cross. That's where love starts. Hey, he died for me. There's you don't even have to have an emotional experience to that. It's a start. It's a knowledge. And what happens is because you have that knowledge, you say, "Okay, well, I want to go find out more about who Jesus is." and you begin to spend time with him. What happens? You're abiding in him. That knowledge the the effective it begins goes beyond knowledge. It's now an emotional integral part of your being that when people see you, they get to know you. They know you by your fruits because you're walking in love. You are walking in that holiness with him. And they see that And it is strengthening your inner man because you're letting the word of God, remember that's Jesus Christ in the flesh, was the word and the word became flesh. That word you're allowing it to manifest, boil right out of you and it is splattering on everyone around you because love is what binds us all together. This is what brings us into that unity. Amen. You can go read 1 Corinthians chapters 12,13 and 14. You will see how love works especially in the gifts of the power of the Holy Spirit. And these are gifts that Christ gives us so that we can bring those we love to his holiness. So we but we have to understand comprehend the rules the powers that God has established for us as the church to use. We have to know how to use them. We don't want to be ignorant of that. This is why when he talks about the height, the width, the depth, the length, he's showing us a complete full understanding of how God sets things up, how he operates in that power through love and obedience. Because Paul was not only did he bow his knees, humble himself, get the love, and dwell in Christ, he was obedient to do that actionable item. That's what he did. Oh, that's incredible. Let's go read the last two verses in chapter 3, Ephesians. Now unto him that is able. Not everyone can do this, but he's talking to you and me. Watch this. Now unto him that is able possible to do exceeding abundantly over above all that we ask or think according to the power the miraculous power that workketh in us. Unto him be glory unto God be glor or actually unto us be the glory honor in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages world without end. Amen. Catch that he's talking about us. He's saying you know if you're able see possible it starts with knowledge you see something happen you see a miracle and you're just like okay I remember I've seen these things I mean my my young adulthood of life I grew up in the church but at that point in my life what God did to transform me was incredible. So, I got the knowledge of it then. But what the Lord has been working on me throughout my life since is building up his love in my heart because I'm coming to realize how much he loves others as much as he loves me. I shared this before. I'll share it again. I did not want to pray for Hamas who attacked Israel. I felt Israel should kick their behinds out of here. But I also felt very conflicted about that. The Holy Spirit was telling me, "You need to pray for them. I love them just as much as you." And when I was obedient to that and I prayed for them and I not only prayed, I prayed that I I forgave them. I had to forgive them. That's the act of obedience here. I forgave them. And then I asked God to forgive them. Remember Jesus says, "Whatever you forgive, I will forgive." So he becomes obligated to forgive and he forgave them. And then I asked for the Holy Spirit to move in their hearts and minds. And God sent them a vision of the same man in their dreams. Over 200 Hamas men had that dream. They went to the missionary which was nearby and they said, "What does this mean?" And the missionary was able to minister to them and they were harvested. They became believers in Christ. And I am very confident that my prayer is what pushed that over the edge. So I continue to pray today in obedience because he loves them just as much as he loves me. So all those people we see in the world that we don't like, he loves them just as much as he loves me. So who is able? Are you able? Are you able to believe? Are you able to dwell in the secret place with him? Are you able to go find out? Because you are fellow heirs. You are. When Jesus was ascending from heaven, he made a pit stop. He stopped at the garden of Gethsemane or excuse me at at where the stone was rolled away where he was buried. His body was buried and Mary Magdalene was there and he stops. So he's got like billions of souls behind him and he stops and he says to her, "My father, I go to my father, your father." uh my God, your God. That is him fulfilling the fact that we are fellow airs, joint hes that before we were made a little lower than the angels, we're now equal with Jesus. And I hope you understand that. And if Jesus can walk in the power and the authority to raise people from the dead, to heal people from the sick that and to let them see and no longer be blind. Guess what? we have the access and privilege to do because we are fellow heirs. We can do that. That is our calling and we should be doing that. And what do you do? Humble yourself before the Lord. Get on your knees. Dwell in the place. Read his scriptures. Ask him. Start talking with him. Let his word come back to you as you read it because that's his communication to you. And then you ask him and he will reveal to you as he did Paul. Paul is a fellow air as well. And we're fellow airs right there with Paul. Jesus. If he can reveal a mystery to Paul, he can reveal it to us. And he can answer every single one of your questions that you have because that's who we believe in and that's who we partner with. That's who we are co-artakers with. He has all the knowledge. He's the creator. Well, that means we get to know everything. Now we don't know everything but when we come together in unity and remember that love that he has for everyone that love that we begin to show and we abide in and we let that love manifest in us then Jesus can move through us and that allows the Holy Spirit to push through and let the gifts move through us. Let us become fruitful. It it shows us the fruit. We we begin to manifest the love, joy, peace, gentleness, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, meekness, temperance. That is the fruit. And then the gifts on above and beyond that where we get to talk to someone and and share something with them that they never told you. That's the Holy Spirit revealing something to you to get their attention. How did you know about that? That is the Holy Spirit manifesting. Amen. Let's close in a word of prayer. Father God, we thank you for your word and we bless your word. You are amazing and glorious and faithful and I thank you for your word. Lord, I pray that we hear your word that we take the action of it by humbling ourselves, getting to know the knowledge of what you have done on the cross and the rising of your from the grave, the rising of you from the grave. And we just pray that that penetrates our heart and that we actually abide in your word. We pray and ask that the gifts and the fruits of the Holy Spirit uh the fruits manifest in us and stay within us and we get to show that for the rest of our lives and that the gifts manifest so that we can minister to your body in the name of Jesus and to the souls that are lost out there right now Lord. Thank you father God in the name of Jesus we pray. Amen. Amen. Amen. God bless you. I will see you in the next message. Bye-bye. Home Previous Next
