THE DAY OF SALVATION The objective of this message is to emphasize the urgency and present reality of salvation, reminding both believers and unbelievers that today is the time to accept Christ and walk in His grace. It aims to encourage Christians to live out their salvation daily through ministry, service, and consistent faith, while also calling unbelievers to repentance and relationship with the Lord before it is too late. < Back THE DAY OF SALVATION Minister Lisa Kane February 29, 2024 Objective: The objective of this message is to emphasize the urgency and present reality of salvation, reminding both believers and unbelievers that today is the time to accept Christ and walk in His grace. It aims to encourage Christians to live out their salvation daily through ministry, service, and consistent faith, while also calling unbelievers to repentance and relationship with the Lord before it is too late. Synopsis: Lisa Kane begins with prayer and introduces the central scripture from 2 Corinthians 6:1–3, highlighting that now is the “accepted time” and today is the “day of salvation.” She explains that salvation is a present reality secured by Jesus’ sacrifice, and that God calls everyone to receive it without delay. The message distinguishes between simply being saved and actively living in a relationship with Christ. Lisa urges believers to deepen their walk with God through prayer, study, and ministry, while reminding unbelievers that repentance cannot be postponed. She draws from Isaiah 49:8 to show how Paul ties Israel’s restoration to the broader call of salvation for all people. She critiques the modern romanticizing of five-fold ministry roles, clarifying that ministry in its truest form is simple service—acts of attendance, aid, and love. Using Jacob’s transformation at Peniel (Genesis 32) as an illustration, she shows how wrestling with God leads to personal transformation, just as salvation transforms every believer. Lisa also unpacks Paul’s teaching in 2 Corinthians 6:4–10, where ministry is lived out in all circumstances—whether in patience, affliction, dishonor, joy, or sorrow. She stresses that salvation must be exhibited daily, even when believers feel weak or inadequate, because God’s Spirit empowers them to minister in every season. The message closes with encouragement from Philippians 2:12, urging Christians to “work out their salvation with fear and trembling,” not in vain but with a life that demonstrates God’s love, truth, and power. Lisa reminds the audience that whether strong or struggling, rich or poor, every believer is called to manifest the joy and reality of salvation today. ✨ In short: This teaching stresses that the day of salvation is now. It calls unbelievers to repent and receive Christ immediately, while urging believers to actively live out and exhibit their salvation through service, endurance, and daily ministry empowered by the Holy Spirit. Inspired Teaching: Hello and welcome to the House of Faith Ministries. I'm Lisa Kane and recording this on Thursday, February 29th, 2024, leap year. Welcome. This message is called the day of salvation. Let's open up in a word of prayer. Father God, we thank you for your word. We thank you for your blessings and favor on us, Lord. And and we pray and ask that we we hear your word and we apply your word to our lives, Father God, because this is an awesome message. And I thank you for the revelation of this message. And I pray that we can all take a part of it and run with it and hold on to you as tight as we can. Father God, in the name of Jesus we pray. Amen. And amen. All right, let's go to our opening scripture here. This is called the day of salvation. Our opening scriptures is in 2 Corinthians 6:1. We then as workers together, together means cooperation with him, beseech or call near, invite you also that ye receive not the grace of God in vain or empty. So we're going to be talking about the day of salvation here. Today is the day of salvation. We are in a time period of salvation right now which is absolutely incredible and I hope that you get this and you understand it. So we are going to be talking about the day of salvation. salvation is. And if you notice here, we work together in this salvation. So, we're going to be talking about ministry work for believers. If you are an unbeliever and you are hearing this message, now's the time to repent. I encourage you to call on Jesus. You need to. We all need to. We have all fallen short of the glory of God. So, now's the time to repent. And now's the time to get ready with the Lord. If you don't have a relationship with the Lord on top of your salvation, meaning you're spending time with the Lord and getting to know his word, you're asking questions. He's answering because you're reading and praying. Uh that's the relationship value there. If you're not doing that, you need to because now's the time to get ready. He is preparing us for his return. Now is the time to get ready. This is called the day of salvation. Amen. Let's continue on to verse two. Uh here in 2 Corinthians 6, we're going to read verses 2 and three. Verse two, notice, okay, it's got parentheses already around it. That's because that is in the Bible. Okay, the parentheses are already there. I didn't add them. So, what I did is I added brackets for the bolded word. So if you see the bolded word in brackets afterwards, those extra words are other words that the bolded word could have been translated as. It gives us a deeper look into the scripture and I like teaching that way. So that's what you're seeing on the screen in front of you. So now this particular verse two is a reference to Isaiah 49:8. Paul is partially quoting that scripture. We will look at Isaiah 49:8 here in a moment. So let's look at what Paul says. He says, "For he saith or he's laying down." And by the way, this is God talking that he is referencing. Says, "I have heard thee in a time accepted," which means approved. And in the day of salvation have I secured or helped thee. Behold now, meaning present time is the accepted, the approved time. Behold, now is the day of salvation. I'm going to stop there. The day of salvation is this time here and now that we're in right now. How do I know this? Well, the day of the Lord has not re happened yet. That's a big day of taught on it. It's a day where there's an invasion from Gog and Magog into uh Israel and they're all killed. God stops and there's a day of darkness. It is a day, a dreary day, lots of rain, hail. It's a big earthquake going to happen that day. that has not happened yet. Okay? So until that day happens and and by the way at that point the rapture happens. So the body of Christ will be removed at that time. Until that day happens we are in what's called the day of salvation. It's because what Jesus did is when he was crucified he redeemed all of us. He paid the price for our sins, yours and mine. And because he did that, we have redemption, a free gift. It is salvation. Jesus says, "I'm going to forgive you of anything and everything." All you have to do is confess. Romans 10:9 says that if you confess with your mouth, Jesus is Lord and believe with your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. It is a very simple matter of fact. That's your salvation. Remember the thief on the cross? He never got water baptized. He never went door todo. He never was fruitful. He never multiplied. He never got a chance to live for Christ because he died on the cross and that was it. But he was saved. So s the day of salvation is now. And we're going to look a little more. And I just did a teaching on the difference between living for the Lord and just being saved and the different levels of different Christians throughout the world. That is true. It is a fact. You can go take a look. I have a different level of my belief and faith may be more higher than others and it's still lower than others. I'm not at the top and I will never proclaim to be at the top, but there are those that are and I and God bless them. So, each of us have to kind of work out our salvation and get to that. So, that's what this salvation message is about. And I want to show you how Jacob did it. But before we get there, let's read the rest of the scripture because I want to bring this all to life. Verse three, giving no offense, stumbling or occasion of sin. That's what the word offense means. Giving no offense in anything that the ministry be not blamed. That ministry is attendance, aid, service. Okay. So, I think in today's time, and maybe I'm being a little overdramatic about it, but I think that the body of Christ has romanticized the five-fold ministry, uh, evangelism, apostilhip, prophet, teaching, um, and I can't think of the other one right now, but, uh, we've romanticized it and put these people that do these ministries up on a pedestal. But look at what the word ministry is. It says attendance, aid, service. That's all we're doing. Listen, we're all as human as you are. All we do is spend time in the word and ask the Holy Spirit for revelation of that word so we can come and teach it to you because we are called well in my case I'm called to teach and preach the word of God which is means I'm a minister. I minister the living word of God to you and I do this on a weekly basis. In fact, what I do is an online ministry which is supplemental to you joining your body of Christ or your church in your sanctuary. This is just additional to kind of get you through the week. Gives you um I hope I'm teaching a little more in the meat area a deeper understanding of the living word of God than what your pastor can teach. Your pastor teaches but he teaches as a global over uh he covers the whole church, the whole body of Christ. So he can't do individual teachings and and to the body of Christ because he has to keep his body together and bring them up together. So there's going to be in that body more that are uplifted and closer to God than others. So he has to keep a balance whereas I have the opportunity to come in here and teach a deeper meaning, a deeper level of the word of God. And I hope that you are blessed by it. Amen. So that's what this is about. So when you become saved, that salvation should not be empty vain. We saw Paul talk about that. He says it needs to be filled with something that is the spirit of God. So let's continue on and read um and now I want to quote this is the scripture that Paul quoted in in verse two of Corinthian first Corinthians 6. So this is Isaiah 498. Let's read the whole scripture. Thus sayeth the Lord, in an acceptable, which is a delight or favor time, which is now, have I heard thee, and in a day of salvation have I helped thee. Now, here's the rest of it. and I will preserve or guard thee, give thee for a covenant or promise of the people to establish the earth to cause to inherit or occupy look at this the desolate which is the stunned deficit stupified makease heritages. Now he's talking to Israel here. Now Israel has become a nation again. It is a shock to the world. Israel is the fourth largest nation in the world to provide food for the world. And there a little teeny thing. But that's Israel because God has allowed them to occupy that desolate land that Mark Twain talked about back in 1800s when he wrote about Israel, how desolate and wilderness the place was. But look at what God has done. And it amazes people. It stupifies them and it it stuns them. So God did that with Israel. Paul is quoting that scripture. He's quoting the beginning part. He says, "This is the day of salvation and I have helped thee." meaning he's helping us here and now so we can walk in the ministry of the day of salvation. Because we today, any preacher, any minister, any pastor, any evangelist, any any teacher, any person in the five-fold ministry, our objective will always be salvation and grace because Jesus is in the business of salvation. He's here to save people. He says, "I will forgive anyone of anything at any time." That is what you ought to grab on. The only one who does not forgive all the time, anytime, and all the time is uh the Holy Spirit. And what that is, it's a voice in the back of your head. So when you get saved, you see, even before you get saved, there's something in the back of your head talking to you. He's saying, "You want this?" And you know why it was funny? My dad was talking about the day um the week before he got saved back in 1976. He remembers it. He was watching people in the church. He happened to go to church and he's watching the delight and the joy of their heart as they praised and worshiped the Lord. He says, "I want that." And the next Wednesday service that they went to, they didn't want to wait till Sunday. They went Wednesday night and they went up and got uh saved. They went and accepted the Lord in their heart. There was an altar call and they went up forward. Every pastor, every preacher, every evangelist should be talking about salvation and letting everybody know now's the day of salvation. Now is the time to get saved. It is very important that you do this. You see, I I want you to understand, I know we're all attracted to the end time events, especially uh not just the day of the Lord and the rapture, but really about the sevenyear tri uh uh seven-year time period of God's wrath. We have to be very careful about that because see our goal and objective is try to not get anybody to get there. So to even teach that you can get saved during that time is not biblical. Now there will be people who will be martyed during that time for Christ because they're not going to accept the mark of the beast and they're going to end up dying for what they believe in. But that doesn't mean they're saved during that walk. It means you have to die for it. Now, we really don't even know that to be true. I say it because that's what a lot of theologians teach. The seven thunders are going to speak and they're going to tell you how to get saved. At least that's what I believe in. But remember, God told uh or the angel told John, "Don't write what the seven thunders say." See, they don't want us to know what's going to happen in that time period because now is the day of salvation. This is the time period where we need to be saying, "Get saved now. Don't wait any longer. Now is the time to get saved. Amen. So, this is what we're talking about. Let's go to Romans real quick. Romans 11:25. For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant, which is not to know or lack of information of this mystery. It's a secret. Watch what he says here. This is very important. Lest ye should be wise in your own conceits. See, we're wise in our own conceits to even think that we know what the seven-year time period of God's wrath is all about. If you're a believer in Christ, you will not be attending that time frame. Our time comes when the fullness of the Gentiles is complete. I will show you scripture on that. And that's what I'm actually showing you right here. He says, uh, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits. that blindness and by the way that word blindness means stupidity or callousness in part is happened to Israel until the fullness or completion of the Gentiles which is a race a tribe foreign become in or enters in we the Gentiles the body of Christ came into existence the moment Jesus rose from the grave he taught it as the kingdom of God in in his three three-year ministry that he had when he was crucified he went to the grave for three days. He rose from the grave and before he left he walked on the earth after death for 40 days and appeared to over 500 people at one time. This is all eyewitness testimony in the Bible in the four gospels and in Acts. You can read about all of this and what they have what happened. It's your choice whether you want to believe it or not. So the day of salvation began with Israel. the law. They had to present the law and Jesus fulfilled the law. And he says, "Now I'm telling you to love your neighbor as you love yourself." And that is a commandment. So he's saying, "Now is the time to confess me as your Lord and Savior. Now is the day of salvation so that you can get saved." And I already taught about the difference between living with Christ and living not with Christ. But in your ministry, whether you are on high for God or you happen to be down here, you're going to see Paul tell us that our ministry should still be an exhibit to those around us because the salvation of the Lord is today and we ought to be sharing that no matter where we are spiritually. And Paul is teaching this and you're going to see this here in the scripture. Now, that means this fullness of Gentiles is going to come to completion on the day of the Lord because we do not teach salvation in the seven-year time period of God's wrath. This is just more scripture supporting that. And I I hope you're understanding that. And I hope you're watching these last several videos I've taught on this because I really want you to see and know we have to be teaching the now, the grace, and the salvation of today. We want to be aware of prophecy. We want to know that this time is coming to an end. But at the same time, this just means we need to be more urgent with what we're teaching. Amen. So there is coming the fullness of the Gentiles will be completed and then Israel will continue on. Now Israel needs to be saved. So Israel who has rejected Jesus, they're going to go through the seven-year time period and God is going to save them. He is their help and he's going to work walk with them during that time period and that is all biblical. They're going to be 144,000 male Jews are going to be sealed of 12,000 of each tribe. They're going to have to run. They're going to run to the hidden place that God has for them right in the middle as soon as the abomination of desolation happens. So that happens in the seven-year time period. It's right in the middle. They're going to run because they're going to see all of a sudden they've been following the Antichrist and they're going to become aware and they're going to get saved. So God has a plan for them. But the body of Christ is not in that plan at that time. So today is the day of salvation. Today is the day that we need to be saved. Amen. Now in Genesis, I want you I want you to see something. This is so powerful. when you get saved and there there won't be an emptiness there. It won't be vain. You're going to have a spirit of God talking to you and there is going to be a transformation. Now, sometimes the transformation takes place and it's instantaneously. Other times it takes a little more time. I want to show you something in the Old Testament that had me weeping so much. I don't even know why my spirit was weeping so much, but it's so powerful. I hope that you catch this and I hope that my spirit with the Holy Spirit is imparting this uh feeling and this joy to you because today is a day of salvation. You're going to see what happened to Jacob when his day of salvation took place. Amen. Okay. So, we're going to go to Genesis 32 and read verses 24- 28. Let me give you a background before I begin reading. Jacob has spent I think it's about 20 years. You can go read that part of scripture. He spent seven years in Laban trying to get his wife Rachel. Now Laban and Leah, I guess Leah is the older daughter, I think. And Jacob worked seven years for Rachel, but they tricked him and put Leah there. They put so much heavy veils that he didn't see her. He married her and went and consummated the marriage and realized I got the wrong wife. So he ends up working another seven years for Rachel. So he was there 14 years and I think he was there another either six or seven more years there. But in the meantime, he has two wives. And he ends up getting 12 children. Uh some through the handmaid handmaidadens because there was a jealousy going on, a rival between Leah and Rachel. So you can read all of that. This is how the 12 tribes of Israel comes into existence. Now notice his name is Jacob. Watch what happens. He He He's leaving Labon Laban. He's leaving him. He's now going to go see his brother, Esau. Now, the last time he saw Esau, they didn't part in good terms. He ran from Esau. Esau got mad. He was able to manipulate Esau to get his birthight from him. And Esau was mad, but Esau sold it for a bowl of food, a plate of food. So anyways, they left in bad terms. So now Jacob is coming back. So he sends messengers ahead and Esau responds by bringing him and 400 of his men toward Jacob. So he's marching toward Jacob. So Jacob's thinking, "Oh my goodness, he's going to fight me and my family." Jacob doesn't have an army. Jacob only has this family and his servants and his cattle and all he's doing is trying to find a better place, a bigger place to get out of Leon Leon. Layman, I don't know how to say his name. I'm going to say Layman. Layman had tricked him and manipulated him for the past 20 21 years or however many years it was, but he had uh tricked him, had changed his wages multiple times, tricked him with the different wives. So he is now finally going to leave and go back. And now he is scared because he thinks his brother's going to defeat him. So he separates his family. This has got to be the craziest thing you have got to ever hear. He's not thinking that his family is going to be defeated, per se. He's putting him in safe places, but he's doing it in such a way that he can save at least half of his family, but he doesn't know which half is going to be saved. So he is distressed. He is distraught. He is vexed. He is in a place that he doesn't want to be in and but he has no choice. So he's got his family all separated. He is by himself at a peak, a precipice that he names Penny later. Now watch this. Says here, "And Jacob," which by the way that name means heel catcher, was left alone. He's now separated from his family. And there wrestled. Oh, I want you to see what this word wrestled means. To float away as vapor, grapple, a man with him until the breaking of the day. He's wrestling with a man. And that word wrestle is to grapple, but it has a vapor quality to it. Watch. Let's read the rest of it. And I want to show you something here. And when he saw that he prevailed not against him meaning God is realizing see Jacob is wrestling with the spirit of God. He is wrestling with God and God is not winning. Obviously God is letting Jacob win here but watch. So this is and when God saw that he prevailed not against him he touched the hollow of his thigh and the hollow of Jacob's thigh was out of joint as he wrestled with him and he said this is now God talking let me go for the day breakth and he said I will not let thee go except thou bless me so Jacob is like I got you and I'm not letting you go till you bless me oh watch this and he said to him this is God talking to him what is thy name and he said, "Jacob." God said, "Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel, he," which means he will rule as God. For as a prince hast thou power, prevailed with God and with men and hast prevailed. So he prevailed with God and with men. That is what the name Israel means. Now I want you to understand this happened in the physical in Jacob's day. Now prior to this moment the people always talked about the God of Abraham and the God of Isaac. They never talked about Jacob because he hadn't been transformed yet. later on when his brother approaches him because you know now he had his his transformation his salvation took place he's no longer empty he's realizing he named it pineal because this was a place he wrestled with God and saw the face of God and he lived through it so he had a transformation so what he did is he tells his family but they continue forward Esau approaches him and hugs him. And Jacob is seeing God for the first time move in his life. Now, I want to ask you a question. Today is the day of salvation. Are you wrestling with God? He's going to let you win. That's the revelation here. Now, I want you to see the ministry part of it because there are days you're going to feel like you can do ministry work and there's going to be days you can't because we're still flesh. So, look at what Paul says about ministry and the salvation that we have within our soul, within our spirit. Watch what he says in our work that we do for Christ when we live for Christ. because that transformation takes place just like Jacob. We see God move and yet still we have down days. So Paul tells us what goes on. Watch this. He says we're back in 2 Corinthians 6 starting in verse four. But in all things approving ourselves as the ministers of God. Now watch this. He says in all things. So he's going to tell you in the good and the bad and in the in the evil and the good. He's going to show us this. I want you to see some key words here. Approving means set together, introduce, exhibit ourselves. Look at the word ministers. To run errands, attendance of God. So we're to do God's ministry. This is what we're called to do here in the day of salvation, which is today and now. But not all days do we feel like it. So he says you need to exhibit yourselves as ministers in everything. So he starts in look he goes in much patience, in afflictions, in necessities, in distresses, in stripes, in imprisonments, in tomalts, in labors, in swatchings, which is sleeplessness, in fastings or abstinence, in puress, by knowledge, by longsuffering, by kindness, by the Holy Ghost. When you don't feel like praising and worshiping the Lord, you still need to do it because you need to be ministering and exhibiting your ministry through the Holy Spirit and through all things. He continues on and by love and look at this and he says unf by love unfeigned which means you need to whether you're loving with through benevolence by giving gifts and being there for somebody just letting them cry on your shoulder if that's what you have to do or even when you don't feel like loving them you still got to exhibit your salvation that God has transformed in you. Amen. So, he's showing us how to do it. He says, "By the word of truth." You still got to do it by the word of truth, by the power of God, by the armor. You've got tools of righteousness on the right hand and on the left. You see, these are things that we have even when we don't feel like it. Continuing on, look at says by honor and dishonor. There going to be days you're going to honor your parents. There going to be days you're going to be mad at them and you're going to curse them. Honor and dishonor. says, "By evil report and good report." Look at this. As deceivers and yet true because there days that we like to manipulate things because we're the flesh. We think it's easier to lie or to to deceive somebody, you know, like maybe this is better for them. You know, we keep the truth from them because then they'll might do this or do that or whatever the situation may be. You know exactly what I'm talking about. And the Holy Spirit is showing you that. Well, guess what he says? In that, you still need to exhibit your salvation. You see how important this message is? We need to be exhibiting our salvation of the Lord because today is the day of salvation. Whether you feel like it, whether you're lying, whether you're cheating, whether you're an adulterer, whether it doesn't matter. You are still having to exhibit your salvation. Look at what he says as unknown. Because now you got people who say, "Well, I know the right way. This church teaches God the right way. This church I'm of Apollos. I'm of Paul." It doesn't matter. It's the day of salvation. It is of Jesus. What he did on the cross. He died for us and then he rose from the grave. And that is what we teach on. And that is your knowledge that you should have in the day of salvation. See, it says as unknown or lack of information and yet well known as dying because even as you're dying in a hospital, you should still be exhibiting. My time might be coming short here, but you know what? I give God the glory because he has given me a great life. And you know how many people you will minister to when you say things like that is awesome and powerful. And yet, and behold, we live as chastened, educated, or trained up as a child and not killed. We can come become dead. We didn't let this world die or kill us. We didn't let the enemy take us down and keep us down. So he's saying even in that fight, you are exhibiting the day of salvation, your ministry. Hallelujah. Look at this. He says, "And even as sorrowful yet always rejoicing to be full of cheer, as poor yet making many rich, as having nothing and yet possessing all things." So even if you're rich or even if you're poor, you are exhibiting your ministry. Whatever it may be, it could be baking cookies. It could be just smiling to people. It could be just telling people, "God bless you at the grocery store." It's your ministry because it is your salvation. It is what the Lord has transformed into you. And today is the day of salvation. And every one of us is a part of the body of Christ, the kingdom of God, and the church. And we should be marching in this exhibit displaying the day of salvation because it is now whether we feel like it or not. This is our ministry. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. And let me show you how we know to do this even further than what Paul tells us. Look at Philippians 2:12. Where wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed or listened attentively, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence. Work out your own salvation with fear and treble trembling. And look at salvation is rescue safety. You see, when you are demonstrating that you're praying for people in the hospital, that you're going there, you're texting them, you're on, you're you're letting them see other people are you're letting them cry on your shoulder. Other people are watching this and they're like, "Wow, this is neat. I want this." And what happens is when they get saved, you show them the day of salvation, how to exhibit the joy in their heart, however way they're feeling, because it is the spirit of God. Is not by might nor by power, but by his spirit. And so all things that you do needs to exhibit the day of salvation. Amen. Amen. Let's do this and let us purpose it in our hearts. You know, I pray every morning this actually Monday through Friday. I do pray Saturday and Sundays, but I do a different prayer on Saturdays and Sundays. So, I pray every morning, but it's funny because there are days I'm praying and nothing. I mean, I'm I'm speaking the words. I may speak in tongues a bit, but it's there's really no I don't feel any movement. I don't feel like it. I'm tired. I'm sleepy. Um, but there are other days. Today is a great example. Boy, the anointing was so strong. So, it amazes me. So, there's just every day is a different day, which means we have to exhibit the salvation we got in that day, no matter what that day is. I hope you get this message and I hope that it encourages you to take that day and say, "You know what, Lord? No matter what this day is, I'm giving you the glory, honor, praise, and strength because you're still my God, my King, my Lord, and my Savior. And I'm still going to exhibit you. Even if I've got a cold, I'm sick, sneezing, whatever, I'm going to exhibit you. Oh, I'm going to exhibit your salvation. Oh, thank you, Lord. Thank you. Let's close in a word of prayer. Father God, we thank you for your word. We bless your word, let it not return void. Thank you, Father God, for letting our hearts be filled with joy and that that joy is always present and prevalent even when we don't feel like it. And teach us and help us have the strength to exhibit your salvation for what you've done in our lives daily, Father God. No matter how we feel that day and no matter what's going on on that day. Thank you, Lord. In the glorious name of Jesus, we pray. Amen. Amen. Amen. God bless you. I'll see you in the next message. Previous Next Home

WHO PAID THE WAGES The objective of this message is to help believers understand the profound truth of Romans 6:23: that the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ. The teaching emphasizes that every person inherits sin and owes a debt they cannot pay, yet Jesus Christ, the Word made flesh, willingly paid that debt in full. Through this message, listeners are called to recognize Jesus not only as Savior but also as Creator and Redeemer, who offers true freedom and eternal life to all who believe. < Back WHO PAID THE WAGES Minister Lisa Kane September 3, 2023 Objective: The objective of this message is to help believers understand the profound truth of Romans 6:23: that the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ. The teaching emphasizes that every person inherits sin and owes a debt they cannot pay, yet Jesus Christ, the Word made flesh, willingly paid that debt in full. Through this message, listeners are called to recognize Jesus not only as Savior but also as Creator and Redeemer, who offers true freedom and eternal life to all who believe. Synopsis: In this message, Who Paid the Wages?, Lisa Kane of House of Faith Ministries explores the meaning of Romans 6:23, revealing the depth of God’s love and the sacrifice of Jesus Christ. From Adam and Eve’s fall into sin to the present day, humanity has carried a debt of death that only Christ could pay. Jesus, who was with God in the beginning as the living Word, entered His creation through the virgin birth, lived without sin, and gave His life on the cross as the perfect sacrifice. The teaching highlights prophecies from Isaiah and the fulfillment through John the Baptist’s ministry, pointing to Jesus as the long-awaited Messiah. Scriptures such as 1 John 3 and Isaiah 40 affirm that abiding in Christ brings transformation, freedom from sin, and even the slowing of spiritual “aging” as believers walk in His presence. Kane stresses that knowing who Jesus truly is—not just as a prophet but as Creator and Redeemer—brings a deeper, life-changing relationship with Him. The message concludes with encouragement from Hebrews and Corinthians, declaring victory over death through Christ. Believers are reminded that in Christ there is no more fear, no debt, and no sting of death—only freedom, eternal life, and the joy of a daily relationship with the One who paid the wages of sin once and for all. Inspired Teaching: Hello and welcome to the House of Faith Ministries. I'm Lisa Kane. I'm recording this on Sunday, September 3rd, 2023. Welcome. This message is called Who Paid the Wages? Let's open up in a word of prayer. Father God, we thank you for your word. We thank you for your presence. We thank you for your awesomeness, man. Thank you, Jesus, for following your your father, for being obedient to your father's will, for laying down your life for us. And then thank you God for giving him his father his life back. Thank you father for giving him his life back. And Lord I ask for your words to speak through me as this is what my fifth or sixth time already starting this message. Thank you father god for being with me and letting your anointing come through here and thank you for your favor and blessings. I pray for the person that's watching this video, Father God. And I pray that their ears are open, their eyes are open, they see and hear. And I play pray that they their hearts are open and softened and that they receive. And I pray that their minds are open to believe and to get to know you a little bit more of who you are because man, you are magnificent, holy, and awesome. Thank you, Lord. In the name of Jesus. Amen. Amen. Amen. Let's go to our opening scriptures here. Romans 6:23. For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. I use this scripture a lot when I'm teaching. And usually, especially about the wages of sin is death. You know, there's a mystery there. You know, the more time you spend with God, the less you're aging. And I'm going to show you all the scriptures and how this all connects together. But I use this. But what I want to talk about today is showing you the one who paid those sins. See, go back to the days of Adam. And when he and his wife Eve sinned, they were deceived. They fell. Ever since then, every person born is born automatically into sin where we already owe a debt. And yes, that's infants. Now God has children taken care of. There is an age of an accountability as between God and that child. So no worries. God has the children covered and protected. But once we get to that stage of accountability, we do face um the the sin that is in our lives. We have sinned. Everyone's sin. You know, we've all fallen short of the glory of God. And as a result, we owe a debt that we cannot pay. But Jesus obeyed his father and said he would do it. In fact, it's clearly identified in this opening scripture. It says, "But the gift of God is eternal life in who? Christ Jesus our Lord." So he's the one who paid the wages. Now in order to understand that, you know, everybody hears about Jesus. Oh yeah, Jesus has that nice good prophet. That doesn't mean everybody believes in him. Nor do they really understand the magnificent the holiness and who he is cuz he's been there. You know, if you take a look at everything around you, your desk, your walls, whatever it is that you have around you, it's not going to be there forever. But the word of God has been there from the beginning and it will last forever because Jesus is the one who is the spoken word. He said let there be light and there was light. God called it good. If you go back to Genesis, go back to John 1 verse one. In the beginning was the word and the word was with God. So Jesus the word was with God in the beginning. So, now that you've got an understanding of this, we're going to delve into who is this magnificent being because this is where things get a little interesting. And I want you to see something here about the wages of sin. It has to do with sin. You're in sin. You owe a debt. But there is a transformation that takes a place takes the place in a believer who wants to change. There are many many people who just go to church and they're satisfied with that. But let's get to know who this Jesus is. Because once I think once you understand the magnitude of him and his abilities, it's going to make some major changes in your life. 1 John 3 5 and 6. And you know that he was manifested to take away our sins, and in him there is no sin. Whoever abides in him does not sin. And whoever sins has neither seen him nor known him. Are you a believer who still goes out and sins? Do you really know who Jesus is? Cuz my guess is you don't because you're still sinning. Look at what it says here. You know that he was manifested to take away our sins and in him there is no sin. The wages of sin is death. So when you abide in Jesus, I've been teaching on this for now a handful of years. When you spend your time with Jesus, you're not sinning because you can't sin in front of Jesus. And because you're not sinning, you're no longer aging. I want you to get this. When Adam was created, he was created perfect. So was Eve. They were made perfect the way God made them. They were not aging. There is no age for them. They were fully mature adults created. What came first, the chicken or the egg? Well, the chicken had to because when you have an infant or um the hatching of an egg, the little hatchling, I'm going to tell you right now, they don't know what to do. Now, there are some creatures here on our planet that know instinctively what to do from birth, but not all are that way. Humans are not that way. We have to take care of our babies. So there had to be a creator who came first and that magnificence of him is there and he's the one who did not have aging going on initially. It was the perfect euphoria uh uh the perfect atmosphere for Adam and Eve. But then they went and disobeyed God and they sinned. And ever since then we've all fallen short of the glory of God. And the only way to get it back is to have this one person, the gift of life, Jesus Christ, pay the wages of that sin. So, how did that happen? And who is this? And how can you do it? I mean, you think about it like this. If Jesus is the one that was there in the beginning and he said, "Let there be light." And we know that he is because in the beginning was the word, God. Jesus, the word Jesus, and he was with God in the beginning. So when you put those two together, all of a sudden now you come into this powerful being created this whole earth and then he was born by a virgin that he not only came in born that way, he entered his creation. Have you ever made um a tent out of boxes, cardboard boxes or even sheets and blankets? And what happens is they come tumbling down. They will fall if you try to enter them. Sometimes you can secure them pretty good and get in there and hold it up for a while. But there's times you can't enter what you created without destroying it. Yet Jesus entered it. Not only did he enter it, he kept himself from sin. So he separated himself so his blood, that perfect blood, could wash away the sins of the world. And for anyone who wants to believe can accept that pardon. Just straight up accept it. You don't have to do anything else if you don't want to. for God. That's between you and God. Now, I will tell you this much. If you understand who Jesus is and you actually finally let him in and let him transform you, something happens. You you go through a transformation and you begin to find out who Jesus is. You get on this journey. It's an awesome journey. So, let's go back to Isaiah. We're going to be here in Isaiah 43-5. The voice of one crying in the wilderness. Prepare the way of the Lord. make straight in the desert a highway for our God. Every valley shall be exalted and every mountain and hill brought low. The crooked places shall be made straight and the rough places smooth and the glory of the Lord shall be revealed and all flesh shall see it together. For the mouth of the Lord has spoken. Okay, so here's a sign. So Isaiah is prophesying that there's going to be this guy crying in the wilderness. He's going to make the path straight. He's preparing a path. Well, who is this? And was this prophecy fulfilled? Well, it was in all three gospels. Matthew 3:3, Mark 1:3, and Luke 3:4. Look at who this is. This is John the Baptist. For this is he who was spoken of by the prophet Isaiah. Who did we just read? Isaiah 40. Saying the voice of one crying in the wilderness, prepare the way of the Lord. This is not the Lord. He's preparing the way of the Lord. Look at this. He says, "Make his path straight." The voice of one crying in the wilderness, prepare the way of the Lord, make his path straight. And then verse four in Luke 3, as it is written in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet, saying, the voice of one crying in the wilderness, prepare the way of the Lord, make his path straight. So, here comes the God Almighty, son of God. He created the earth. And John the Baptist said, "I'm preparing a way in the wilderness here. I'm making his path straight. Here he comes. So, who is this guy? Because Isaiah, what I I don't even know how many years before. It's thousands maybe, maybe 1500, give or take. I don't know how many years, but he prophesied that John the Baptist would say these things. And guess what? John the Baptist said it and it was recorded in the Gospels. So now you're seeing, okay, well, who was he making the path straight for? And when you realize it had to do with Jesus, oh, the glory of the Lord shall be revealed. So he's telling the nation of Israel, hey, here comes the one crying in the wilderness to let you know this guy's coming. This is the son of God. Remember also Daniel told him when he would be crucified gave the exact year when he would be crucified. The wise men, it's believed Daniel is the one who established the wise men. They knew in the stars to look for the Messiah when he would be born. Guess what? They found him as a toddler. They knew. They knew. And all these signs were being fulfilled right in front of the Pharisees and the Sadducees and they still rejected him. Are you one to reject the son of God, God Almighty? The one who said, "Let there be light and there was light." He paid the wages for your sin. You're a created being. You need to humble yourself before the Lord and realize, "Hey, I was created by him, and I trust in him." Let's go continue on to verse 10 in Isaiah 40. So behold the Lord God shall come with a strong hand and his arm shall rule for him. I I want you to see something very interesting here. Look at this. Okay. So he says will come with a strong hand and his arm shall rule for him. He sacrificed himself on the cross. Do you know how much strength it took for him to be able to get up on that cross knowing full well he can call legions of angels to take him off and yet he still did it. Talk about some self-control. And his arm shall rule for him. Look at this. Behold, his reward is with him. You see the two capital H's there? Jesus reward is with God his father. or God the father's reward is with his son Jesus. It can go both ways. Oh, that's interesting. And his work before him he will and in fact it's since we know that Jesus is the one who said let there be light and there was light. This is the work of Jesus blessed by the father. He will feed his flock like a shepherd. This is Jesus because now we're identified as the sheep and he's the shepherd. He will gather the lambs with his arm and carry them in his bosom and gently lead those who are with young. Who has measured the waters in the hollow of his hand, measured heaven with a span, and calculated the dust of the earth in a measure. Weighed the mountains and scales and the hills in a balance. Whoa, wait a minute. He did what? because we know he created it. And when you think and you know, oh, he created it. All right, that's wonderful. But then you go back out and you look at look outside. Go look at the ocean. Look at what he says here. He me he who has measured the waters in the hollow of his hand. If you see how many oceans there are in the world, how many lakes, you can't see the other side. And that measurement was in the hollow of his hand. This goes back to Genesis chapter 1 again that I taught on. You can go read it u uh on my teaching called creation versus evolution and many other teachings I alluded to in this. But that first chapter of Genesis chapter 1, it's a planning phase. He planned everything. He designed it and then he also had to get and assemble all of the pieces he needed to make the universe. He took water in the palm of his hand, the hollow of his hand. He put it in a bowl. Got some. Look at this. He measured heaven with a span. He had a span there. He says, "Okay, it could be this little or he could have done it like this, but he's outside of the universe." So, he got to measure it with a span. How big is God? How big is Jesus, the son of God, and calculated the dust of the earth in a measure? I don't know about you, but if you're someone like me who does not like dusting, you find as you dust, you dust and you dust and you dust and dust keeps coming back. Where does this dust come from? I mean that I mean we know where it comes from. But here God has the perfect amount of dust in a measure and he put it there on his measuring cup on his workbench. possibly had it in the hollow of his hand. Put it in there. How big, how mighty is this creator? And look at that. Weigh the mountains and scales and the hills in a balance. He had to keep everything perfectly balanced and he did it. Did you know, you know, scientists are finally coming to the realization that there can't be that many planets in the in the solar system like they thought in the universe altogether because they're realizing how perfect everything needed to be. You and I are complex individuals. There is absolutely no way that we could have come from an evolution process because we're complete today. We are complete now. any part of that, any partiality of that fails. Yet here we are complete. Yes, with sin, but with one who paid the wages of our sin. And now we're indebted to him, and we get to come to him. And by the way, being indebted to Jesus is freedom. I'm going to get to that. You're going to love this. So, I'm telling you here, this magnificent being, this God, we call him Yah Jehovah. We call him the son of God. Jesus the Messiah is the one who paid these wages in this earth that he created. Everything is about what he's done and what he's doing for you. And yet he gave you free will to choose. Go watch um Jonathan Khan's latest uh uh teachings uh Josiah Manifesto, the uncensored version, the the DVDs. He's got a a set of eight DVDs there. The timing of everything that he brings to light is absolutely incredible. You know, and and when you're running late and you think you're not in God's time, I'm going to tell you right now, you are in perfect in God's perfect timing the whole time. This is how magnificent this being is. He is the son of God. And and yes, he could have destroy He can still destroy us all if he wants to. But you know what? He said he wasn't going to do it. And he keeps his word. He's trustworthy. Who is this guy? Who I mean, that is amazing in and of itself. There's more. Let's continue on. Isaiah 40. Uh now we're in verse 13. Who has directed the spirit of the Lord or as his counselor has taught him. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Wait a minute. Who has directed the spirit of the Lord? Or as his counselor has taught him, God the counselor teaches Jesus and teaches him what? How to direct the spirit of the Lord. God the father and the son of God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit work as one. They are three different individuals, but they do work as one because God the father has a plan and the other two support that plan totally. But notice the chain of command here which is taught throughout the Bible. God the father, God the son, God the holy spirit. And all of them, God the holy spirit and the son of God point to God the father. And look at Jesus says he's my counselor. God says I counseledled him. I taught him. Look at this verse 14. with whom did he take counsel and who instructed him and taught him in the path of justice? Who taught him knowledge and showed him the way of understanding? Jesus had to be taught not only you know and and and however that is in the spiritual we don't know that. All I know is that Jesus was there and he said let there be light in there and it was good. There was light and it was good. What I do know is when he was born a man to a virgin, he came out, he still had to be taught and he was taught and never entered sin. He was taught and never entered sin. He had to and he also acknowledged who he taught who taught him, but he never entered sin. But he still had to be taught. Which means you and I could be taught by God. We have sinned. But the moment you spend time in the presence of God, you're abiding in him, there's no sin in Jesus. And sin cannot stand to be in the same room with Jesus. And if you're not sinning, guess what? Adam didn't sin initially. He wasn't aging. There's no aging there. If you go look at the scriptures, give you some homework here. Go read those scriptures. Notice he doesn't mention anything with age. It's all about him naming the animals. I don't know how long that took. Yes, it's kind. So, it's not every animal on the planet, but it is all the kinds. So, a male dog and a female dog. It didn't matter what type it was. It was just a male and a female. But he named them all. Did it take him days? Did it take him weeks? Did he sleep somewhere? Did he have to sleep? He was something different before he sinned. We only know the after what happened with sin. But I do know that if sin isn't in the presence of the Lord and I'm abiding in the presence of the Lord, I slow down aging. I do not age anymore because in that moment, I'm abiding in perfection. That perfection begins here and now. And I'm gonna tell you right now, it's changed me to a point where wow, you know, I now he he weigh he put the mountains in a scale. Do you know how big these mountains are? I can't climb a mountain, especially not at my age, but they're huge. And yet, he put them right there in a scale. But then what did Jesus say? This is even more magnificent. This is how humble Jesus is. Look at this. John 5:30 and John 8:28. 5:31st. I can of myself do nothing. Wait, what? You just put the mountains in a scale. You measured the heavens with a span. I don't even know if it's a three yard stick or how you measured it with a span, but you measured it with a span. You held the oceans in the palm of your hand, in the hollow of your hand. And yet I can do I can't of myself do nothing. Who is this son of God? This man who paid our wages. Look, he says, "As I hear, I judge and my judgment is righteous because I do not seek my own will but the will of the father who sent me." He's following his father. Who do you follow? You following the latest band, the latest music, the latest latest singer, you the latest fashion trends, the latest sin. Oh, but look in verse 28 of 8:28. Then Jesus said to them, when you lift up the son of man, did you catch that? When you lift up the son of man, then you will know that I am he and that I do nothing of myself, but as my father taught me, I speak these things. Look at the action there for you. homework. He says, "When you lift up the Son of Man." Do you do it on Sundays? Do you do it all the time? Do you do it when you're facing a crisis? Or can you do it? Can you just run up to God one day? You don't have a crisis, just say, "I just want to thank you. I just want to love you." When your children come up and do that to you, what do you think you you have in this your heart this joy and nothing can imitate that joy? When your family member just comes up and says to you, I love you. And you sit there going, "Wow." And imagine what God feels when you suddenly just say, "God, I love you." and this and this being, you know, I have to wonder if that is what he was thinking and feeling at the time when he decided to keep saving the earth in spite of the sin that we're living in. You have to wonder about that. Look at 51:13 Isaiah. And you forget the Lord your m your maker and you forget the Lord your maker. You know, renewing your mind and being in the Lord can be a forgetful process. putting him first in all that you do. Let me look at this. Who stretched out the heavens? You know, uh it is believed that before the flood they can see the whole written story of what Jesus does to redeem man is written in the stars. Well, he stretched that out. Who is this being that loves little old me that can do that? And he paid the wages of the sin that I committed. Incredible. And laid the foundations of the earth. He's the one who put it all together. And yet he says, "I love you for God so loved the world." John 3:16. Look at this. You have feared continually every day because of the fury of the oppressor. Oh, when you hear this part when he has prepared to destroy and where is the fury of the oppressor. Oh, got to get this. I want you to see this again. You have fear continually every day. Do you know when you get in your car and you drive, there's a risk of being in an accident and being killed. You get in your shower, by the way, is a risk. You can slip and fall. Get in your kitchen, it's a risk something blows up. There's always risks. Always. And you fear continually. There are people who fear continually. But look what God says about that. And it's because of the fury of the oppressor. Who's oppressing you? You see, you know you live in sin. You know that one day you're going to die. You know that it's coming because Hebrews 9:27 clearly tells us every man is appointed to die once. We're going to look at that scripture in a moment. When you see this, you know this. You're thinking, "Oh man, I better be careful. God, look at this. You don't have to be careful. It's the f fury of the oppressor. And look at this. He when he has prepared to destroy, he's going to destroy the oppressor. Where is the fury of the oppressor? He's going to destroy that. You have nothing to be afraid of. You're no longer bound by the wages of sin. You are now bound by the gift of life that was given to you from the son of God, Jesus. from the father of God, father god god father that brought his son Jesus. You see the spirit realm here acting up. It's been an interesting uh teaching but I'm going to tell you right now the son of god is Jesus Christ the messiah. He has redeemed us and he is the one who has freed us because he paid the debt of our sin. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. And yet you forget. How do you not forget? You have to ask yourself that question. What can you do to not forget? You see, if you're continuously in abiding in him, you create a routine, a habit. It helps a whole lot to develop that and put God first in your life. Jesus. Psalm 27:1, "The Lord is my light and my salvation. Whom shall I fear? The Lord is the strength of my life. Of whom shall I be afraid? You see, you have no more fear. You can go out, get in your car, and pray and say, "You know what? I'm going to get to my destination safely and quickly." You prophesy it, and you have no worries to fear because you've got God already dealing with the oppressor. He's getting ready. If you notice, his plan is coming to a conclusion. We're in the end times here. You see his plan. There's a fury uproar of all the devils right now. However, God says, "I'm taking care of them." He says, "You believe in me. I'm the I'm giving you the gift of life, my son, Jesus. When I'm giving you him, you are no longer oppressed. You're free. You don't have to be thinking about the consequences of driving on the road or cooking in your kitchen or doing something wrong. You do not have to fear because you have Jesus as your Lord and Savior. You confessed him as your Lord and Savior. Look at this. Hebrews 9:27. And as it is appointed for men to die once, but after this the judgment. Every man has to die. Every man. There's a conclusion to the journey of the life we're on. There was a beginning. You can start with Adam and Eve in their beginning, but you can also start with the birth of our beginning. And now we've been on this journey and one day that journey comes to a conclusion. However, there's a victory in that conclusion for those of you who realize that the gift of life provided by God the Father is your freedom because he paid your wages that you owed. And when you don't have wages to pay, what do you do with your life if you don't have any debt? You know, you can go buy whatever you want. You're free. You could do whatever you want. You want to go on a cruise, get up and go on a cruise. You want to go to the mountains, go to the mountains. You can go wherever you want because you have no debt. This is the freedom that Jesus gave you. And look at if you think death is a problem, watch this. Oh, death. This is 1 Corinthians 15:55. Oh death, where is your sin? Oh Hades, where is your victory? Look at this 56. The sting of death is sin. And the strength of sin is the law. But when Jesus paid your wages of your sin, you are now under the gift of life. And death can't harm you, do anything to you. There's no more sting. There's no more fear. You are free. Free indeed. You can go buy whatever you want. You can go live whatever way you want. Now, you better be obedient to the word of God and the way he tells you to live. But you have the freedom to live whatever way you want. If you know, I I remember uh Dr. Jean Scott, he'd be up on stage smoking a cigar while he's preaching the word of God. And back then, everyone thought smoking and and drinking were the sins. But, you know, it's the addiction behind it that's the sin. It's not that. If you want to go smoke a cigar, go smoke a cigar. You have the freedom to do it. I I'm trying to teach you the freedom that you have here. So, don't misconstrue my words here. Don't let it own you. In other words, if you have to have the cigar because your body is telling you, then you've gone too far. But if you want the freedom to go have it, you can. You see the difference that you're now free because the wages of sin has been paid for. Now I personally, this is something I do in my life and I follow Job in this example is I repent every day. Every night when we have our closing prayers every night, I continuously repent every night. Say, "Lord, forgive me of my sins. Forgive the sins of the land. Come into my heart again and be my Lord and Savior." And I thank him. Job, every time his kids had a a gathering and they partied, he went and did sacrifices for them. And his thought process was just in case they cursed God while they were under the influence. Do you see the freedom you have now? The freedom to live. Yeah, people are going to judge you, but let them judge you with the freedom that you have. Let them see how free because you tell them, "Hey, the son of God, the one who held the waters in the hollow of his hand forgave me because he paid my wages." Oh, death, oh death, where is your sting? I'm telling you, God is awesome. Second Corinthians 5 through8. And I don't have the chapter here. Obviously, I missed I didn't put that in here. Sorry about that. Now, he in fact, let's go find it. Uh, let's see. Now he who has prepared us for this very thing is God who also has given us the spirit as a guarantee. So we are always confident knowing that while we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord. For we walk by faith, not by sight. We are confident, yes, well pleased, rather to be absent from the body and to be present with the Lord. Isn't that awesome? For we walk by faith, not by sight. Let me get you that chapter because obviously I missed it in here. faith not by sight. This is 2 Corinthians 5. So it's chapter 5 and we were so it's chapter 5 and we read verses 5 through8. You can see why I made a mess up there but hey you can forgive me. But look at this. I want you to see something because oh death oh death where is your sting? Look at this. He who has prepared us for this very thing is God who has given us the spirit as a guarantee. You see, God is the one who sent his son. He sent his son to pay the wages and gave the authority of his son over the spirit. And the spirit had to do what the son did. And the son though says, I do the will of my father. Now you have all this freedom. Your wages have been paid. And look at this. You are always c. So we are always confident knowing me. Check this out. I want you to see when your wages are paid for and you get that. Look at this. He says we are always confident knowing that we while we're at home in the body. Yes, we're absent from the Lord. But look at this. He says, "But we walk by faith, not by sight. Don't look at this moment. Put your eyes on God." And he says, "We are confident." Yes. Well, please. rather to be absent from the body and to be present with the Lord. We'd rather be there. We will be there when our race is done. But while we're going on our race, we do our thing in confidence because we walk by faith, not by sight. Oh death, oh death, where is your sting? There is no sting. There's no fear. You can go out and do what you and and yes, keep confessing. Look at Romans 10:9. that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised him from the dead, you will be saved. Look at for whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved. Verse 13. If you do it over and over again, which is something I do, you start again refreshed. But I'm telling you, I was saved from the moment I called on God the first time. I just do it again and again more for a peace of mind, a reminder. So I don't forget who my maker is. Who the one is that paid these wages. This mighty mighty being that entered his creation that put mountains and hills and scales that even calculated the perfect amount of death to be on this earth. This is who paid the wages of sin. And by the way, not everyone accepts and believes why they don't want to. They don't want to go to hell either, but and some say they do want to go to hell. But there are some who say they don't want to go to hell, but they don't want to go where God is either. Well, I'm telling you, it's only the two places. You're going to have to make up your mind. And not making your mind up for God is destination hell. So, keep that in in the back of your mind. But in the freedom that you have here and knowing that you are free, your wages have been paid. It it's a weight off your shoulders. There is a transformation that takes place because now you want to thank Jesus for what he did. Be thankful. Remember who he is. Set your pattern, your routine to include a thank you to him every day. And if you truly want to go further, you can press in and abide in his presence. And I promise you, your eternity has already begun the moment you confess Jesus as the son of God. So now sin is gone. You're in his presence. You're not aging anymore. Think about that. There's a lot of people who don't want to age. They don't want to die. Well, you don't have to. You don't even need a bottle. You don't need any kind of medicine. You just go into the presence of the Lord. Hey God, how you doing today? I'm doing fantastic. Thank you for your blessings. You are amazing. By the way, have I said this before? Thank you for paying for the sins. I'm so grateful. What is it that I can do for you today? That's all he's asking for is a relationship with you. He just wants to have a rapport. you want to joke about things, he'll joke with you. By the way, he's fun to be around and it's fun to watch him uh get some people back that need to get uh back. God is awesome and that is Jesus. This is the one who paid the way. Just notice the the dynamic of the relationship between the father, the son, and the spirit. You see the three of them working in unity for you. For God so loved the world that he gave his son Jesus. Jesus was already with them. He do you see that in John 3:16? For God so loved the world that he gave. How can he give something unless he has it? Meaning he had Jesus before Jesus came. I hope you get that. And when Jesus came, he was born of a virgin. He grew up, he was taught by God and by the spirit. He was taught, he was counseledled actually. He was taught by God in that whole time. But then he said, "The spirit will come and comfort you." This is now the son of God saying that Jesus did exactly what his father taught him to do. Now, how are you going to go live your life? Deuteronomy 30 tells you to choose life. And wherever you go, whether you're in the city or in the desert, you will be blessed if you put God first. Here I go again about having a relationship with God and putting him first for your life.

HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS The objective of this message is to teach believers the difference between human works of righteousness and God’s true righteousness that is imputed through faith in Jesus Christ. Lisa emphasizes that salvation and protection do not come from outward deeds or religious observance, but from acknowledging sin, accepting God’s gift of grace, and living in continual relationship with Him. The message aims to encourage believers to seek God’s presence, walk in His righteousness, and understand the blessings, protection, and eternal life that flow from that relationship. < Back HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS Minister Lisa Kane October 12, 2025 Objective: The objective of this message is to teach believers the difference between human works of righteousness and God’s true righteousness that is imputed through faith in Jesus Christ. Lisa emphasizes that salvation and protection do not come from outward deeds or religious observance, but from acknowledging sin, accepting God’s gift of grace, and living in continual relationship with Him. The message aims to encourage believers to seek God’s presence, walk in His righteousness, and understand the blessings, protection, and eternal life that flow from that relationship. Synopsis: In this teaching, Lisa explores the meaning of God’s righteousness as revealed in Isaiah 54:17, “No weapon formed against you shall prosper… their righteousness is from Me, says the Lord.” She explains that it is God who calls us righteous, not our works or religious practices. By walking in His righteousness, believers gain protection, peace, and security—even in the midst of affliction, oppression, and end-time calamities. Lisa unpacks Isaiah 54:11–17, showing how God transforms affliction into blessing by building His people on foundations of precious stones and promising peace for their children, both natural and spiritual. She stresses the generational impact of righteousness and warns that sin can also pass down consequences. Drawing from Ezekiel and Romans, she highlights that human righteousness cannot deliver us, but God’s righteousness—received through repentance and faith in Christ—brings life and transformation. Throughout the message, Lisa ties in spiritual warfare, end-time warnings, and the necessity of intimacy with God. She reminds listeners that salvation is a gift, not earned by works, and that only by pressing into God’s presence, seeking His kingdom first (Matthew 6:33), and acknowledging Christ as Savior can believers live free from fear and condemnation. The teaching concludes by urging listeners to examine whether they are relying on their own works or truly resting in His righteousness, which alone secures eternal life and victory over the enemy. Inspired Teaching: Hello and welcome to the House of Faith Ministries. I'm Lisa Kane. I'm recording this on Saturday, August 12th, 2023. Welcome. This message is called His Righteousness. Oh, you're going to love this message. This is a powerful word. Let's open up a word of prayer. Father God, we thank you for your word. We thank you for your blessing. We thank you for your anointing. We thank you for your presence. open our ears, open our eyes, open our hearts, and open our minds to see, hear, believe, and apply, live your word, Father God, because when we see and believe, or when we see and hear, we believe. So, thank you for your word, and thank you for showing us your righteousness, so we have something to walk by and stand by in the name of Jesus. Thank you, Lord. Amen. Ah, amen. Amen. Let's go to our opening scripture. Okay. his righteousness. Opening scripture, Isaiah 54:17. No weapon formed against you shall prosper, and every tongue which rises against you in judgment, you shall condemn. Look at the capital Y there. It's talking about God will condemn it. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and their righteousness is from me, says the Lord. He's going to call you righteous. He's the one who determines whether you're righteous or not. Oh, so this is such a good message. We're going to start though. I want to we're going to dig into the scripture here in a little bit more, but that's what we're going to get to. But I want to take this into context and I want to show you starting at verse 11. So, let's go there real quick. Says, "Oh, you afflicted one." So, we're still in Isaiah 54. We're in verse 11. Oh, you afflicted one. Pause. Have you been tormented? Have you been suffering? And even as a believer, so a non-believer or a believer, if you've been afflicted now, when you have the righteousness of God, because you become a believer, he's going to show you what he's going to do for you. If you are an unbeliever and you've been afflicted and for many times, you haven't been. But I'm going tell you right now, we're entering a time where now this is being allowed. We'll get into this more in as we get along this scripture here. But oh you afflicted one, if if you're suffering stuff in your mind, you you can't sleep. Look at what it says here. Uh tossed with tempest and not comforted. You know, for many many years, I would see the vision of a tempest, a whirlwind, always praise and worship at church, whatever. You know, I would see it and I would wonder, you know, but I never took the initiative to go look it up. And until I took my life to the next level and built my relationship with the Lord because I wanted to make sure he knew my name. I wanted him to know me and then I wanted to know him. Once I took that step and I I it's a like living for the Lord. I chose to finally live for the Lord, not just be saved and wander, you know, go to church on Sundays, live for Christ on Sunday, be all good about it, and then go home s uh Monday through Saturday going living for whatever life. You see, once I made that transition, a change took place and this is it. Oh, you afflicted one tossed with tempest and not comforted. I stopped seeing those visions of whirlwinds. And I'm telling you that it was from the Lord. He he he was showing me this this whole time and I wasn't paying attention. So I hope you pay attention. Learn from my mistakes, will you? Okay. So says toss with tempest and not comfort it. Not comforted just means you can't sleep. You can't get comfortable in your bed. Everything is just not right. You are afflicted. Look what he says. Behold, I will lay your stones with colorful gems and lay your foundations with sapphires. I will make your pinnacles of rubies, your gates of crystal, and all your walls of precious stones. Let's talk about stones. That's a foundation or that is your wall. When um in California they build with wood and drywall and uh insulation. Well, where we are in Missouri and further east you go, they build with brick. But the stone and and stone might see u like castles build with stones. Well, God is saying if you're afflicted, he's saying, "I'm going to take those stones and I'm going to make them special stones, colorful stones, and they're going to be sapphires, rubies, crystal." And these are stones that are precious. They are stones that are hard, and they are your foundation. And it protects you. It's your hedge of protection. Now look what he also says. So he's got now he's putting a in other words if you trust in him that your walls of crystal are in place. You can lay your head at night knowing nothing is going to come against you. You get that? This is powerful. Now he says in verse 13, all your children shall be taught by the Lord and great shall be the peace of your children. Oh now let's look at that in depth. And this is not just children biological. This is spiritual children. You've built a relationship. You've adopted kids. So when you are in his rightness, he put his righteousness in you because you chose to seek ye first the kingdom of God. We're going to get into that. When you choose to do that, your offspring is going to be taught by the Lord. Why? Because they're seeing you. They're asking you, and you're making an impact on their lives. And he says he's teaching them because it's now connecting in their brain and heart because don't let my words uh be confirmed with you. You need to be confirming the word of God in this message, which is what we're looking at. We're taking his scriptures and we're applying it here. But the children will see this and then look and great shall be the peace of your children. Even now as I'm teaching you this, your child here, you look at I got to read it again because this is powerful. And great shall be the peace of your children. You see, it goes from generation to generation. If you ask yourself, why do bad things happen? Especially to kids, it is because your sin affects the kids. Your righteous, his righteousness in you. Your action of going in the secret place with the Lord dwelling in there, pressing into him passes down to your children. Your sin passes down to your children. But he says they will be at peace. Great will be their peace. You guys, you guys got to grasp this. Do you see how important it is? If you don't want bad things to be happening in this world, you need to press in. I can't stress that enough. I know sometimes you I've been reading Isaiah. I know there are things in there I don't understand. I was talking to my dad about that last night. I don't understand. But that's okay because I still am talking with God. And you know what? He will reveal the scriptures when you let him. But you can't know them until you get into them. So this is why you have to put that time aside. You have to open it up. You have to look at things you don't even understand. Which means you need to read the book of Revelation. You need to book read the book of Genesis. The most two attack books in the Bible. You need to read them. You may not understand them. You may not even believe them. But go with God. He says, "Come, let us reason together." Isaiah 1:18. You get into his presence and he will be there. That is a blessing for your children. If you're not doing that, they got a curse of your sin on them. And then you wonder why they're getting cancer and what have you. What is cancer? Canc you know what the consequence of cancer the the main priority of cancer. There are different versions of it, different types, but most of it comes from bitterness, unforgiveness. But if you're in the presence of the Lord, you're letting it all go. Cast your cares upon the Lord. Amen. Let's continue on. Verse 14. in righteousness you shall be established. Now remember our opening scripture, it was his righteousness. So but our act of going and we're coming into unity with the Lord and then he places he calls us righteous. He says we're righteous even though you know I'm still flesh. I'm messed up. I'm guilty. I'm a sinner. You're by the way. Everybody has sinned. Everyone has fallen short of the glory of God except Jesus. Which means we have to go to him to get our part in so that we so someone like me who has sinned can actually teach the word of God. Guess what? Someone like you who has sinned can actually understand the word of God if you take that step and you get into there. Oh, this is powerful. Look it. You shall be far from oppression, for you shall not fear, and from terror, for it shall not come near you. Okay, now we know that we are entering the end times here. I was about to try to teach on end times because there's a lot of going on with the peace treaty and the rapture and this is all flooding the internet right now. And uh I was going to do that and I was praying, I was studying. I couldn't get this, you know, I've taught on end times before. So, it's not that I didn't understand or anything. It's just I wasn't being released to teach that. Closed the computer. I went to put my headphones on, put some Christian music on, spent time with the Lord, praising him and glorifying him. Took it off, came back to the computer, and then this scripture popped in my head. No weapon formed against you shall prosper. And I said, "Okay, Lord, here we go." And as I started digging into it, but watch this. He says, "You shall be far from oppression, for you shall not fear and from terror, for it shall not come near you." Why? Take a look at the terror that is going on in the world now. The volcanoes erupting, all the earthquakes, we still have all that going on. You see all the fires. I mean, Lahani is wiped out in Maui over there. There it's gone. An entire city gone. Town city is gone. So now in Greece, the same thing. You have to ask yourself, why did that happen to them? If you go read Abraham when he had his three visitors and they were going to go over to Sodom and Gomorrah, judge Sodom and Gomorrah and then rescue Lot. Abraham, he's like, "Wait, wait, wait." He says, "If there's 50 righteous, would you still do it?" They said, "No, 30, 20, and 10." They said, "No." But there was a level there. So righteousness drops from these areas and when it does you become oppressed and afflicted. But when you come into his presence there's a big difference. Let's continue on here. This is very powerful. Indeed they shall surely assemble but not because of me. Whoever assembles against you shall fall for your sake. Okay, now I really want you to see this. Okay, so here we are in this end times. So the demonic forces are out in force and they have permission by God to do certain things. So if you go to Isaiah 45:7, he says, "I formed the light. I create darkness. I cause all calamity." So God is saying this to King Cyrus 400 years in advance. Well, that is telling us that all the demons have to do what God says. But look at what this scripture says. Indeed, they shall surely assemble, but not because of me. In other words, they're not doing what God told them to do. How many of you get attacked knowing you are following the Lord, living in the secret place? I just got sick when we got out here. And I'm thinking, Lord, what happened? I see the answer right here in front of me. They assembled, but not because of him. They were going against his permission. Now look at what he says. Whoever assembles against you shall fall for your sake. I'm going tell you right now, that sickness was gone. I had to see the light at the end of the tunnel. I had to wait for it. But that weapon did not prosper. It fell for me. Because see, I'm the one in obedience with God. I'm the one in see uh dwelling in his secret place. And yet the demons who are supposed to follow God and do what he says stepped out of line. They fell because of it. Oh, now we're beginning to see what's going on because see this is also in addition to the spiritual warfare series I've taught a couple years ago that you can go look at in our website. I am telling you that God has a purpose. He has a plan. He blesses whom he wants to. He has mercy on whom he wants to. He hardens whom he wants to. And then he curses whom he needs to. And a lot of the times, see, we're not fighting the devil anymore. They were already defeated. What we're fighting sometimes, we're fighting God because he's trying to get your attention because you're not spending time with him. He is trying to get your attention. Listen, I need you to come to me because I'm going to make you safe. But you're going to be dealing with these issues until you get there. And then when you're dealing with other issues that aren't from me, they will not live. They'll fall. They'll fall apart. They'll be gone. That is what's so powerful here. Look at now continue on. He says, this is verse 16. Behold, I, this is God talking, have created the blacksmith who blows the coals in the fire, who brings forth an instrument or a weapon for his work. And I have created the spoiler or the waster to destroy. You see, God will destroy what he wants to destroy. He's the one who created this. This is why now we have to find out what his righteousness is about because, you know, everyone talks about, "Oh, he's loving, he's merciful, but he's a judger, too, and he is a destroyer. He can curse." This is why it's so important for us to come into his presence to find out who he is and then to make sure he knows who we are. Are you telling him you're a sinner? Are you telling him you're messed up? Are you telling him you ask him for forgiveness? Or are you telling him, "H, I think you're good. You just live your life. Leave me alone." Well, then he's sending you an instrument, a a weapon for his work. You know, this is uh any type of your righteousness that you do because that's a lowercase H there. So, behold, I've created the blacksmith who blows the coals in the fire. Look at how many fires we have going on right now. You know, when you looked at the Canadian one and they showed the satellite image and all those fires, it was hundreds of they all started at the same time, but they were all over the different places and then they converged into one. And and you look at that going, that had to be spiritual. I mean, unless you had a hundred something people together in agreement lighting a fire. Can that be done? Yes. But it is highly improbable. I mean, unless God did it that way, too. Who knows? But God was doing this. So, he's the one who says, "Who blows the coals in the fire, who brings forth a weapon for his work, and I created the waster to destroy." So, this is God's God is in control of everything. So, you have to acknowledge you're guilty of your sin. Remember the thief on the cross. He did that. Now having that background and and understanding what leads to this verse, now look at verse 17. No weapon formed against you shall prosper. Let's stop there. That word prosper is be fruitful and multiply. Meaning you're still going to get hit with that uh weapon. You're still going to be hit and afflicted, but it won't keep going. It won't perpetuate. When I got sick, it took a while. Took three, four weeks. But it's gone and it didn't prosper. Because I was out of alignment and because it was his righteous. He calls me righteous. Why? Because I have a relationship with him. He called Abraham righteous because he believed it. it. Go read Hebrews 11. That awesome chapter says, "And every tongue which rises against you in judgment, you shall condemn." You see, God knows everything. He's going to condemn all those people that are saying evil things about you. How many people don't like my teaching and they say something and curse me? I did this. I went through. I did it, too. But God condemned. You shall condemn. God shall condemn. He Jesus is condemning it because it it's his judgment, not mine, not yours. He has given the ability for us to judge. But then what do we do with it? You need to speak blessings. You know, it's like praying for your neighborhood. You know, God, these thieves are all around me. They're stealing. Get rid of them. I curse them. I You know what? No. But if you bless them, say, "Lord, I bless them financially." Guess what? If they have everything they need, they ain't going to be stealing anymore. Do you see the difference? Now, look at this. Every tongue which rises against you in judgment. You shall condemn him. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and their righteousness is for me, says the Lord. It was nothing I did other than I said, "I'm sorry because I messed up." and I built a relationship with him. That's all I did. That's it. And I'm not boasting on that because it had to be his choice to choose whether I'm righteous or not. I hope you guys get that because no matter how many church attendants you go to and you went Sunday by Sunday by Sunday, eventually you will fall and you won't make it. So, you can't boast in that. And church attendance isn't what's going to save you. It's the fact that you're a sinner that you said to Jesus, I am so sorry I messed up. And then he starts to work in him. You become his workmanship and you he begins to change you from the inside, transform you and get you ready. But in the meantime, he's called you righteous. And now he says, "I've got you shielded in stones of precious colors." Let's go to Ezekiel now. I want you to see this. Look at this. This is talking about a a wicked man and a righteous man and their actions and their consequences. Look at this 21. But if a wicked man turns from all his sins, which he has committed, by the way, that would be me. That would be you. We all acknowledge that we sinned, but we've turned our lives around. I don't want to sin anymore. I don't want to do those. I don't want to practice sexual immorality. I don't want to practice witchcraft. I don't want to gossip. I don't want to judge. I don't want to use the name the God's name in vain. I want my life to be different. Says, look at this. This is if you're that wicked man that turns from all his sins which he has committed. You keep all my statutes and does what is lawful and right. He shall surely live. He shall not die. You wonder why some kids die. Again, the consequence from of sin for the parents goes to the kids. So you to make your kids live longer, to make your lives live longer, you need to repent and turn around. And if you're thinking, well, what kind of God does that? He's the one who created this world. Who do you think you are to question his rules? He's trying to make you right. And all you're saying is, "I want my sin approved." Well, I'm telling you, it will not be approved. He will not bless you, nor will I. I'm in his righteousness now. I will not bless your sin. You want to live in sin, that's between you and God. But I'm praying for you. I pray for unbelievers every night in my prayers. Now look at verse 22. None of the transgressions which he has committed shall be remembered against him because of the righteousness which he has done. He shall live. Now see there's a difference in this righteousness and is something you do. Now this this is an action you take. You see, you have God's righteousness that's in you and then you have your righteousness. You have to purpose in your heart that I'm going to put the Lord first. Seek ye first the kingdom of God. We're going to get to that. You have to take the action of I want to repent. I want to change. Oh, how powerful that is. And when you do, you shall live. That is a blessing. You have a long life to live. And I'm going to tell you right now, even though we're in the end times and it's all about to come to end, you go in the rapture, your life still goes on. You're still living that eternity. You will live. How many people are going to go to hell, wake up in hell, living in hell for an eternity. That's horrible. You don't want to do that. You're a sinner. Just acknowledge it. You messed up. And the one, there's only one way. He is the way, the truth, and the life. And it's by him that you're going to get to the father. And let me make that clear so you understand it in the correct analogy because that peace treaty with the pope and the uh the Muslims or uh Islam for Allah, they come into agreement because they're saying all ways get to God. No, no, no. All the ways don't get to God. If I live in Los Angeles and you live in San Diego and I give you directions to my house, but you go and head toward Mexico, will you ever get to my house? No, you're on the wrong path. So, don't fall for that line about all ways get to God because they don't. Let's continue now in Ezekiel. Now, we're in chapter 33 verse 12 and 13. Now, look at this. It says verse 12, "Therefore you, oh son of man, say to the children of your people, the righteousness of the righteous man shall not deliver him in the day of his transgression." When you go to live for Christ, but you didn't get saved first because you didn't acknowledge your sin. You just simply go to church. You simply go feed the homeless. You you cast out demons in his name. Jesus says, "I never knew you. that good thing. It's a good thing, but it's not going to uh deliver you from your transgression. It's not going to do that. Let me read that again. I want you to see this. Therefore, you, oh son of man, say to the children of your people, the righteousness of the righteous man shall not deliver him in the day of his transgression. This is why I'm teaching this message, and I call it his righteousness. He has to call you righteous, which the first thing you have to do is acknowledge you've sinned and you've fallen short of the glory of God. You messed up. Then you can choose to press in and get to know him and what you do in secret is exposed. He says, "Seek ye first the kingdom of God." That's the clincher here. Then go do all those good things. But if you're doing those good things without doing this, read it again. The righteousness of the righteous shall not deliver him in the day of transgression. Look at this. As for the wickedness of the wicked, he shall not fall because of it in the day that he turns from his wickedness. Nor shall the righteous be able to live because of his righteousness, lowercase, in the day that he sins. If you think going to church is making you good and you miss one service for whatever reason, no gas, uh, someone died in the household or you just couldn't make it that day because you were sick, you had spent a lot of time in the bathroom, whatever the case may be, you missed it. Guess what? You fell into sin again. You sinned because you established that as your right standing with God. He's going to show you you're going to fall every single time, which is what the law tells us. This is what the ten commandments tells us. Now look at verse 13. He says, "When I say to the righteous that he shall surely live, remember this is now Isaiah going back, you shall surely live." And that first part that the first part of Ezekiel that we read, he says, "But he trusts in his own righteousness and commits iniquity because now you're depending on your own righteousness, but you sin again." He's reiterating this. None of his righteous works shall be remembered. God isn't going to count and remember how many times you went to church. God isn't going to count how many times that uh you helped at the soup kitchen. He not going to tell you that. He's not going to remember any of that. Excuse me. Why? Because it's your righteousness, not his. And if you are depending on that to clear you of your sins, guess what? It ain't going to happen. The only way to God is through Jesus. And the only way to do that is to acknowledge him that he is innocent because he per he was perfect. He took on sin and he passed the test. We all failed. We're guilty. We've lost. We were born into sin and there was nothing we can do about it. There's nothing. You just got to confess him as Romans 10:9 says, and look at this. But because of the iniquity that he has committed, he shall die. Then you wonder why. Why do good people die? Hey, you don't know what's inside their heart, but God knows. And he knows not only what's inside their heart and what they're dealing with, but he knows whether they have believed in him or they're depending on their righteousness. I, you know, I had a coworker who saw what I was doing and all he says is I need to do good things. I'm thinking you need to confess Jesus is Lord. That you know Romans 10:9 that if you confess Jesus is Lord. You that if you confess with your mouth Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God is raised from the dead you will be saved. Look at what the thief on the cross did. He told the other thief, "Hey, he's innocent. We're guilty." He acknowledged his guilt. And then he looked to Jesus says, "Remember we me when you enter your kingdom." And Jesus said, "Today I promise you, you will be with me in paradise." That's in Luke 20, I think it is. I've been teaching on that now for several weeks. Get in there and read the scriptures. Romans 6:16 through8. Do you not know that to whom you present yourselves slaves to obey, you are that one's slaves when you obey, whether of sin leading to death or of obedience leading to righteousness. So whichever life you live, you got to lay the foundation first with his salvation. Remember salvation is from the Lord too. Let his salvation, his righteousness come in you. The only way you're going to get it is when you press in and you come into him. But see, when you're not doing that, you are obeying to the slaves of the world and you're following the world's concept here. Now, look at this. But, uh, verse 17, but God be thank though you were slaves of sin, yet you obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine to which you were delivered. And having been set free from sin, you became slaves of righteousness. You see, you have to be set free from sin first and then you become a slave to rightness. You be you want to come into the presence of the Lord. You want that rightness. You actually took your whole body and you brought it under self-control under the gift of the Holy Spirit and you said, "No, Lord, I'm putting you first. I am not following this world." Let's continue on here. Now, we're in verse 20. We're going to skip 19. Verse 20. For when you were slaves of sin, you were free in regard to righteousness. Look at that. You were free. You, In other words, you weren't bound to righteousness when you were a sinner. In other words, if you were in a Gucci store, you saw a purse or something there and you decided to steal it because you didn't have any righteousness in you. Look at the state of California right now. You can steal up to $950 and nobody can do anything. And in fact, if they try to stop you, they're the ones that are going to get arrested and prosecuted. Talk about backwards, right? So, look at this. Verse 21. What fruit did you have then in the things of which you are now ashamed? You see, when you were living in the world and you weren't righteous, you did things. You sinned. And by the way, it doesn't matter your lifestyle how you live. You still lied. You still cheated. You still stole. you, me are were sinners that needed to repent. And now we can be a slave to righteousness. Now we can live for Christ. Now we can commit to him. And we come to realize that one day a week in church isn't it. We go there now to minister. We go there to pray. We pray for people. But the six days, we're spending time in the word and we're spending time in his presence, praising him and praying for that upcoming service and asking the anointing of the Holy Spirit, asking for the spirit of healing to be there because now we're living right with Christ because we're being obedient to his righteousness. He called us righteous because now the blood of Jesus covers us. says, "Now verse 22, but now having been set free from sin and having become slaves of God, you have your fruit to holiness and the end everlasting life." See, now you get to live eternally, not by the works because you would boast otherwise, but by God who calls you righteous because you put his son first. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. And then look at verse 23. For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of life is eternal life in Christ Jesus. So every time you enter sin, you're dying. Aging. When Adam and Eve sinned, he died 930 years later. Death, a form of death is aging. And he aged to 930 years and he died. every one of us. This is a this is a way to see that we're all in death, that we've all sinned, and that we've all fallen short of short of the glory of God. It's because we're sinning, aging, and as long as we keep aging, we're dying. But look at the second part of that. But the gift of God. Gift. We can't boast about a gift other than, you know, I went and got my pardon from the remission of sins. Did you? Oh, good. There's no boasting there. You just went and got your gift. But the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. Living for Christ and living in his goodness here in the flesh is our first steps toward eternal life. We're going to be living eternally with the Lord. And what happens is we die to the world. We're we're no longer in sin. We we've left that domain. This world has nothing to offer me. I don't want anything other than I want to see you saved. And I'm appointed with Christ in the heavenly places for his will, which is to save you, which is why I do this. I do this because he called me righteous. Otherwise, I'm a sinner. I was a sinner just like you. But thank God, he changed me and transformed me. And why? Why the whole thing matters comes down the whole of this matter eternal life everything comes to this scripture right here Matthew 6:33 but seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness and all these things shall be added to you those crystal gems the stones around you the authority to see and know that even though we're afflicted and oppressed that it doesn't prosper that there is no weapon formed against us, not even the ones from God. I mean, he can take us out if he wants to anytime he wants to. But he says you're righteous because you believe that Jesus is the son of God. You believe my son. This is what God is saying. So, I'm I'm trying to do a distinction here between the works that you can boast in and the foundation of salvation and then the works of his righteousness in you. And I promise you this, when you're in his righteousness, you teach on the spirit of love, not the spirit of fear. You know, we are not called to teach on a spirit of fear or to live in a spirit of fear, but of love and of a sound mind. A sound mind is when you realize the truth of the matter. You realize that Jesus is the son of God. You acknowledge that you messed up. And once the salvation is established, oh now you know in fact if you look at how Jesus did, he was water baptized. So your salvation doesn't require water baptism. But Jesus when he was water baptized went into the wilderness and dealt with the devil. He went through 40 days, 40 nights dealing with temptation and overcoming the devil. So that means if you look at what water baptism is, you are saying I choose his righteousness. I go down and I come up washed of my sins now. And when I come up, his seed is firmly rooted in me. And what happens now is you are eligible to go into ministry. So you can go into the wilderness. Paul, even though he knew the scriptures, he was Saul on the road to Damascus and Jesus touched him, changed his life and he got his sight back three days later, he went into the wilderness for three years to understand what was going on here because he needed that before he can teach us. So now, when you get into that right standing with God, there's a time of a root that needs to take place. you need to get rooted and then you get water baptized and you're ready. But you have to go after the enemy when you get rooted uh when you get water baptized and you deal with the enemy and once the enemy is dealt with now you walk in his ministry. Now you see the church doesn't teach a lot about that but that is scripture. That is how it happened with Jesus. That is how it happened with Paul. So now what happens though is because you are spending time getting rooted, getting into your new routine with the Lord. And again, this is where I'm coming from. I finally chose to press in, not be one foot in, one foot out, and be lukewarm, which God will spit you out if you are. I never knew. You remember this these scriptures, you will understand that you put both your feet in. Now you're in ministry and now you are in the rightness of God, his righteousness. Because now he can call you righteou Previous Next Home

WATCH AND PRAY WITH DILIGENCE The objective of this message is to encourage believers to remain spiritually alert, prayerful, and prepared for the return of the Lord. By studying prophetic scriptures and recognizing the signs of the times, Christians are exhorted to live soberly, guard their hearts and minds, and diligently pursue God’s presence so that they may be found worthy to escape the trials coming upon the earth. < Back WATCH AND PRAY WITH DILIGENCE Minister Lisa Kane March 20, 2022 Objective: The objective of this message is to encourage believers to remain spiritually alert, prayerful, and prepared for the return of the Lord. By studying prophetic scriptures and recognizing the signs of the times, Christians are exhorted to live soberly, guard their hearts and minds, and diligently pursue God’s presence so that they may be found worthy to escape the trials coming upon the earth. Synopsis: In this teaching, Lisa Kane opens with prayer and then begins in 1 Thessalonians 5, where Paul warns that the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night. The message highlights the urgency of being watchful and vigilant, contrasting spiritual wakefulness with spiritual sleep and drunkenness. Believers are urged to wear the helmet of salvation and the breastplate of faith and love, maintaining focus and purity in a world full of distractions. The sermon then explores prophetic connections, including references to Ezekiel 38–39 and Matthew 24, tying together end-time signs such as wars, earthquakes, pestilences, and the sealing of the 144,000. Jesus’ teachings about the days of Noah are emphasized—Noah received advanced warning and prepared diligently, while others ignored the signs. Similarly, Christians today must remain spiritually prepared, recognizing that while no one knows the day or hour, the season and signs are clear. Scriptures from Luke 21 and Mark 13 stress the importance of prayer and worthiness, echoed by the parable of the ten virgins, where only the prepared entered the wedding feast. Lisa warns that half of believers may miss the rapture due to lack of diligence, though still ultimately saved, they will endure great tribulation and suffering. Personal testimony illustrates the struggle with worldly distractions and the enemy’s attempts to weigh believers down with the cares of life. Yet through prayer and focus on God, victory and clarity can be found. Supporting verses from Psalms, Timothy, Hebrews, and Peter reaffirm the call to seek God diligently, present ourselves approved before Him, and remain blameless as we await Christ’s return. The message closes with an exhortation: just as people secure their homes against thieves, so too must Christians prepare for the Lord’s coming through prayer, scripture, vigilance, and faith. The reward of diligence is escaping judgment through the rapture and entering eternal peace with Christ. Inspired Teaching: Hello and welcome to the House of Faith Ministries. I'm Lisa Kaine and I'm recording this on Sunday, March 20th, 2022. This message is called Watch and Pray with Diligence. Let's open up in a word of prayer. Father God, we lift up this message to your throne room and ask for your blessing upon it. Lord, we pray and ask that we hear your word, apply your word, live your word, and acknowledge that you are God and in control of everything that you do. Thank you for your blessings and your favor upon us and your anointing. In the glorious name of Jesus, we pray. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. All right, let's go into our first set of scriptures here. We're going to start with First Thessalonians chapter 5. We're going to read verses 1-1. I will stop in between, but let's get started. But concerning the times and the seasons, brethren, you have no need that I should write to you. For you yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so comes as a thief in the night. I want to pause. The day of the Lord is an interesting day. Now you can go through the scriptures. There is a lot of information about the day of the Lord. A lot of things are going to happen and I do believe it's in a particular order. So it does start with Russia invading uh Israel and then God protecting Israel. this great earthquake takes place, the sun goes dark, um the moon turns red. So, there's these activities. Um the ceiling of the 144,000 take place, and then of course the bride of Christ is resurrected, um raptured up. So, there's a lot of things that happen on the day of the Lord. So, Paul is talking to the Thessalonians saying, "Okay, I want you to pay attention here. You're not going to know the days or the time." Watch how he says this. He says uh concerning the times and the seasons, brother, you have no need that I should write to you, for you yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so comes as a thief in the night. And we got to remember this term thief. And I'm really going to address that in this message because this message about watching and praying diligently is about being prepared. You're going to love this. So let's continue on with the scriptures. Uh so verse three, for when they say peace and safety, then sudden destruction comes upon them as labor pains upon a pregnant woman and they shall not escape. Labor pains is what uh Jesus describes as Matthew describes in Matthew 24. And when you start hearing about rumors of wars and wars and earthquakes and famines, pestilences all over the place, which we are in that right now, that is being fulfilled as we teach this message, then you're you you see that this scripture aligns with that. So, this is all about the day of the Lord, and the day of the Lord triggers all of this event. So, he's talking about this to the Thessalonians. Let's continue on. Verse four. But you, brethren, are not in darkness. so that this day should overtake you as a thief. Again, we're going to be talking about being how thieves work. We're gonna we're going to look at that here in just a moment. You are all sons of light and sons of the day. We are not of the night nor of darkness. Therefore, let us not sleep as others do, but let us watch and be sober. That's powerful. We're going to get into that here in just a moment. I want to finish the set of scriptures here. Let's look at verse seven. Uh oops, there we go. For those who sleep sleep at night, and those who get drunk are drunk at night. But let us who are of the day be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love, and as a helmet the hope of salvation. For God did not appoint us to wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ, who died for us. That whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him. Therefore, comfort each other and edify one another just as you also are doing. Okay, I want to back up here and go here. Okay, there we go. Okay, you can see this is going to be one of those teachings. So, look at this. He says, "Sleep at night, drunk at night, and we're of the day. We need to be sober." So, now take a look at this. He says, "The breastplate of faith and love." I did a whole series on being a soldier in God's army and wearing the helmet of salvation. The helmet of salvation is your covenant with Jesus. And that covenant binds his protection, the helmet, over your head and keeps the worldly thoughts and ideologies out of your head so that your head can stay focused on what the scripture tells us. So here he's saying, not only do you have your hope of salvation by wearing that helmet, but look, he's also talking about breastplate of faith and love. And faith is something we hope for that we cannot see. So all of this has to do with prophecy. Here we are again talking about prophecy. The day of the Lord has not happened yet and everything it describes has not happened. Ezekiel 38 and39 when it talks about the invasion of Russia and then that great earthquake says every wall falls. That has not happened. So that's coming. So this has everything to do with faith. So you've got to keep your mind. So he's telling you where to keep your mind. And then of course including love. And remember Matthew 24 prophesies that love grows cold. So us believers have to maintain that love. So now I want to show you what he's talking about with the mind because I think if you see how the descriptions of what he's saying about the mind, you're going to understand something very carefully here. So here he says um and we're going to look at focus on verse six here in 1 Thessalonians chapter 5. Therefore let us not sleep as others do but let us watch. Look at what the Greek word watch means to keep awake. That is to watch literally or figuratively. Be vigilant. Ah, vigilant. Okay. So, we're going to be having to stay in the word. We have to keep an action to stay awake. Now, let's look at what the sleep portion of this is. So, let me get to the sleep. Here we go. Same verse. Now, now in verse six, he says, "Therefore, let us not sleep." Says, "To sleep, to lie down, to rest." That is by implication to fall asleep. Okay. So, let's talk about the thief and let's talk about our mind in sleepwatch mode. Okay? Which is what Paul is talking about here. So, when you don't feel good, what do you do? You take a pill, you take some sort of medication, and you lie down and rest because you don't feel good. So, you're doing everything you can to let your body rest so it could heal. Okay? So, what Jesus Paul is saying here, hey, listen, you got to be diligent, vigilant, and you've got to be sober minded. meaning you can't have your alcohol or the drugs that impair your mind because there are things going on in the world that you need to watch because otherwise it's going to get you like a thief in the night. So, let's talk about the thief. So, there's a guy out there, let's say guy or gal, and uh they're planning to raid your home. So, what you do because you don't know who this person is. You don't know what they're going to do. You don't know what they want to do. What's the first thing that you do every night so that you could sleep peacefully? Is that you lock your doors in your windows. You even put next to your bed um some sort of weapon and you're there to protect yourself because you don't know if that thief is going to come in. And if that thief should come in, you're prepared to stop the thief from happening. Notice the words, you're prepared. So, this is very interesting because what Jesus and Paul is telling us is to be prepared for the day of the Lord. Okay? But we don't know the day nor the hour. Know the day or the hour? Oh, let's look at the scriptures. I love this. I love this message. This message is powerful. You guys really got to get into the word of God here. I am telling you, you got to get into it. Let's look at Matthew 24:42-44. Therefore, watch therefore, for you do not know what hour your Lord is coming. I want you to stop and look at what he just said. This is Jesus talking. You do not know what hour the Lord is coming. Why didn't he just say you don't know when? You see, we're going to get to the scripture where it says, "Do not know." Um, you know what? Let's continue with scriptures. We're going to continue on there. Uh, verse 43. But you, but know this, that if the master of the house had known what hour the thief would come, he would have watched and not allowed his house to be broken into. Therefore, you also be ready, for the son of man is coming at an hour you do not expect. Now, look what he says earlier in the scriptures in Matthew 24. This is verse 36. But of that day and hour, no one knows. Not even the angels of heaven, but my father only. Pause. Day and hour. Boy, that's awfully specific. Why didn't he say you don't know when? A lot of preachers are telling you that you don't know when. They're misinterpreting the scriptures. Watch the deception that takes place about knowing the day of the Lord and when it's coming. Okay, let's continue on. but as the days of Noah were. So Jesus giving us some insight here as to what to watch for to help us prepare. Let's look at what the days of Noah was like. So also will the coming of the son of man be. So the when that rapture comes, that resurrection of the bride of Christ comes, we're going to see him come from the east to the west like lightning in the sky. He says when that happens, it's going to be like the days of Noah. So everything we're talking about is that day of the Lord. There's a series of events and that bride of Christ is resurrected after the 144,000 are sealed. So watch very carefully about the days of Noah because this is so applicable to us. This is the key. For as in the days before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying, and giving in marriage until the day that Noah entered the ark and did not know until the flood came and took them all away. So also will the coming of the son of man be. Okay, we have to look at the days of Noah because there's a mystery here. Jesus says no one knows the day nor the hour. Again, he didn't say no one knows when. He says no one knows the day nor the hour. Well, what happened to the week, the month, the season, the year? He didn't say that. Let's continue on with the scriptures here because I want you to see something that happened in Genesis with the flood. Watch. This is so powerful. Genesis 6:3. And the Lord said, "My spirit shall not strive with man forever, for he is indeed flesh, yet his day shall be 120 years." Now look at Genesis 7:1. Then the Lord said to Noah, "Come into the ark, you and all your household, because I have seen that you are righteous before me in this generation." In verse four, for after seven more days, I will cause it to rain on the earth 40 days and 40 nights, and I will destroy the face of the earth, all living from the face of the earth, all living things that I have made." Ho ho ho. So Jesus says, "Go back to Genesis and take a look because I want you to understand and not be taken like a thief in the night. I don't want you to be unaware of what's coming." So he tells Noah 120 years in advance, you're going to build an ark because I'm going to destroy the earth. So Noah knew 120 years in advance. Okay? And if you get into details, you will find it he didn't start actually building the ark for another 20 years. But as he's building the ark, let me tell you something. How many people saw him building the ark? Many. I bet it was on their news broadcast, television sets, however the people lived during that time, they were aware and they saw that the Lord was coming and they still didn't know. Then look at what he also said. He told Noah, "Come into the ark because in seven days, that's a week. We know in a week." Oh, people, we need to be watching this. We need to be watching because this is why he tells us to watch and be prepared. Now, I want to show you something else here because this is so so amazing. So, you've got Matthew and how he said it. It's like the days of Noah, but Mark and Luke say it differently. They don't use the days of Noah. There's more mystery here. Watch this. Let's start with Luke 21:es 34-36. But take heed to yourselves, lest your hearts be weighed down with kerosene, drunkenness, and cares of this life. Isn't that what Paul was talking about? Having the mind in the fog. When you have your mind on drugs or sickness or ailments or of the matters of this world, your focus on the world and not what's coming. And when you're not aware of what's coming, it's going to take you by surprise. But you can prepare for it because that way that thief won't take you by surprise because you're ready to fight it. So here now when you're preparing for the return of the Lord, you know he's coming. When that last seven days come, what are you going to be doing? He said, "Come inside." [Music] So carousing, drunkenness, and cares of this life, and that day come on you unexpectedly. I'm going to read that verse again. But take heed to yourselves, lest your hearts be weighed down with kerosene, drunkenness, and cares of this life and that day come on you unexpectedly. I'mma pause here for another moment. I got to share slight testimony from this week. I had a rough week. I gotten sick last Sunday and it, you know, it kind of lingered all week long, but I'm over it now. So, it was that sickness attack. It was all these little things that came in and Wednesday was the catalyst of this. And I I had gotten emotional about it and I I was frustrated. I got up from my desk and I walked out went for a walk around my the perimeter where work where I work and as I was like I said, "Lord, what's wrong with me? Why am I getting so focused on this?" And all week long, I had been studying these scriptures, looking at it, trying to figure out how I was going to present this message to you. And it was dawning on me, hey, the devil's trying to get me caught up on the cares of this world. So, as I was walking, I said, you know what, Lord, I'm giving this to you because it ain't my problem. One, nobody's going to care in a hundred years. One, two, I got more important things to look at. The return of you, that's what I'm talking about. You can easily get caught up into the elements of the world here. I mean, we just had St. Patrick's Day. I was driving to work. There were nobody on the road. I don't know how many people took off Thursday and Friday, but I'm sitting there like I guess people wanted to have a good drunken moment because that's what you do on St. Patty's Day. Get caught up in the world, get caught up in the events. You got to watch and be diligent and pray. We're going to show that in just a moment here. Okay, let's continue on with Luke here. Uh verse 35. ever will come as a snare on all those who dwell on the face of the whole earth. Watch therefore and pray always that you may be counted worthy to escape all these things that will come to pass to stand before the son of man. Okay, now this is where it gets different. Okay, so we saw how Matthew talked about it how Jesus said to go back to the days of Noah and Luke is telling us listen you got to be counted worthy. And this is so applicable to what Jesus said with the virgin, the parable of the 10 virgins. Now, I didn't put that parable here. I encourage you to go look the scriptures up. The parable of the 10 virgins are the same. They're 10 virgins. They're all identical and they're the church. So, what happens is fif five of them have their oil and they're ready to go with the wedding party. Five of them don't. So the five that don't say to the ones that do give me give us some of your extra oil. And the ones that are wise tell the others, "Hey, we came prepared. You go buy your own." And while the other ones were out buying their own, the the five came into the wedding, the other five who showed up late, Jesus said, "I don't know who you are." And kept the doors locked and they missed the rapture. So, but they're all believers in Christ. I want you to see that and understand. And look, look at how Mark or Luke says it here, counted worthy to escape all these things. It is a blessing when you are righteous because you're taking the next step. You're not getting caught up in the world with the kerosene and the drunkenness. You're saying, "No, I'm going to choose God." And God says, "Okay, I got a blessing for you. You're going to go up in the rapture." That's what this is about. So, you get counted worthy. So you got to be diligent. And notice he also said to pray. So you're praying, you know, and the things that you need to be praying. Pray for yourself. I don't know how many people are praying for you. First, pray for yourself. Pray for your family. Pray. Let God hear your voice. Because then you can say, "God, you know me because you're hearing my voice because I'm talking to you all the time. And by the way, I talk to him all the time. He knows my voice. I know his." That's another thing is as you enter into that relationship with God, you begin to realize, wow, he's real and he's coming and you line yourself up with him. You get counted worthy. Ah, so it's awesome. So you see the difference here now talking about the same event but another viewpoint. Now watch, I'm going to show you the next one. So we just finished Luke. Now, let's go look at Mark's viewpoint. This is so fascinating. Says, "But of that day and hour, no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the son, but only the father." Now, that's similar to what we already heard. But look, take heed, watch and pray. Now, he added prayer, for you do not know when the time is. It is like a man going to a far country who left his house and gave authority to his servants and to each his work and commanded the doorkeeper to watch. Watch therefore for you do not know when the master of the house is coming. In the evening, at midnight, at the crowing of the rooster, or in the morning, lest coming suddenly he find you sleeping. And what I say to you, I say to all, watch. There's even more information here. Oh my goodness, you guys. This is powerful. Okay, so he emphasizes here, watch. He also emphasizes prayer. But look at what he said. He said in the evening, at midnight, at the crowing of the rooster, or in the morning. Okay, so you have evening, you got midnight. Crowing of the rooster is just before the sunlight breaks the horizon outside. And then you have morning. What happened to noon? [Laughter] Is it possible that we don't know the day nor the hour simply because we're on different time zones, but we know 120 years in advance. We know seven days before. And if you watch Jonathan Khan and how he's been revealing the mysteries of the Jubilees over the last 20 so plus years. So we're already coming into the realization that God has shown us the last 120 years what's happening. And I talked about Mark Twain being the stranger. In fact, I think the clock starts there and I forget what year it is. 18 something. Uh I think 1867 because I think 1967, the 50-year Jubilees, it lands on the same as um uh taking over Jerusalem, the Israelites did in the six- day war of 1967. Anyways, you can look all that up. It's all there. Don't take my word for it. But I'm telling you that you have this clock that started. And so when Jesus talks about the the rumors of wars and the wars and the pestilence and the COVID 19, which is a pestilence, u the famines, how many people are starving in the world, and all the earthquakes. I don't know if you've noticed how much how many earthquakes we've had lately. It's been quite a bit. So this is what he's saying. Watch and pray and be diligent about it. Vigilant is the other word that Paul used in Thessalonians. This is absolutely imperative that you do this because you don't want to become unaware, which means you need to prepare. So, if you're going to prepare for a thief by locking your doors, locking your windows, having things that will trigger your your senses to wake you up in case you hear somebody messing with the door. These are things that you prepare for, which means you need to prepare for the return of the Lord. So, that day is coming. It's prophetic. There is no if. It is a when. Okay? We don't know the day nor the hour. But we certainly do know the season. We know that if Jesus fulfilled the first set of feast of the Israelites by his coming as a man and dying on the cross for our sins, that was all fulfilled with the first fruits fruit uh first feast that happened in the Israelites Passover. That's he was the Passover lamb. So he fulfills all that. So the second half of the feast are all the fall feast. So we do have a good idea it's going to happen in the fall there. You know God has his clock. He knows his clock. Okay. Uh we know so we know a season. We know that we had this 120 years. And if you go back and look at the last 120 years, um even after the stranger in the land did what he did, there was a series of large earthquakes that happened at that time. Uh we're we're talking a whole lot of them. You can go back and look at this. Uh you had um the one uh from Isuza Street Revival that was um h that revival was happening at the same time that large earthquake happened in San Francisco. But there was a series of about three other earthquakes that were in the eights during that time. So I'm telling you the clock started and we knew 120 years in advance. So now it comes down to the last seven week seven days that we're going to know. Don't know when that's coming, but we will know because God will tell every believer that is spending time with him, come inside. Those are the words he's going to tell us. So now question is, are you going to hear it? Because if you are spending time in the secret place with the Lord, you will hear those words, you will come inside and you will be ready and waiting for his return. Oh, so it is time to prepare. The other part that comes out of this in in a subtle way is to comfort one another. I know that this sounds like a doom and gloom type of message and it sounds scary, but you have to realize something. Look at the world. You know, I get it. Go back to Darwin. He's looking at the beach and he's looking around. He he describes it as a peaceful moment. Now, don't let it deceive you because he's thinking, okay, well, in this peaceful moment, it's always peaceful. And that's when he came up with evolution and he measured it on that moment. And we can go outside and look at the green trees, get a little breeze, puff a cloud here and there. It's gorgeous. This earth is gorgeous. It really is. And you can have that moment of peace. It really is nice. But I'm going tell you right now that's going away. You know when we talked about that first scripture talking peace and comfort and then all of a sudden sudden destruction. So right now things look quite peaceful when you step outside and don't look at the news. But if you watch the news, because we need to be watching and be diligent and pray, then we're aware of what's going on. There are other scriptures that support this and in a whole different kind of way. And I I want to go here and give you some additional scriptures because I think you can see it how the whole Bible prepares us for this. This is amazing. I just love the Lord. He's just so good at this. I mean, I love him. I love him. Okay, so Psalm 8:17, I love those who love me and those who seek me diligently will find me. So here he's telling you, you're going to find me. So don't think that, oh, if I go do this, I ain't going to be there. No, no, no, no, no. He's going to be there and he's going to get you ready. Especially when you say, you know, God, I don't want to be left behind. He understands that, respects that, and he will comfort you. Look at these other scriptures. Uh 2 Timothy 2:15, be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. Again, be prepared. Get yourself in front of God now before the judgment day comes so that you can say, "Lord, I need your help because I'm a sinner and I need to get right with you so I can move forward with you in what you're doing because this doesn't matter anymore. You matter and my future with you matters." Amen. Let's look at Hebrews. Here we go again. Hebrews 11:6. But without faith, it is impossible to please him. For he who comes to God must believe that he is and that he is a rewarder of those who diligently seek him. The reward is the rapture and not being left in this earth. Now remember the 10 virgins I talked about. 50% went up with the Lord, 50% stayed back. All believers. Now I want you to understand something. how you die. We all want to hope that we can control our death and it be somewhat of a comfort like go to sleep and don't wake up something to that effect where it's painless. Think of it like this. That 50% that didn't go still have to die. Now in that first five months after that day of the Lord and all those events that trigger or get triggered they they happen on that day the next five months you can't die and then there's going to be thunders and this is in Revelation go read it I didn't bring that scripture here but there are going to be thunders that are going to come out and talk to you who's here. So those that are believers again are going to have the opportunity and they're going to realize because they've been hearing about us teaching them about the rapture all this time and they missed the boat because they chose not to be diligently and and show themselves approved and worthy and diligent to God because they missed the boat. They're going to have to die again. They miss the blessing of the rapture that you can grab now if you just go get in his presence. But if you So it's not like you're going to miss out in eternity. I want you to understand that you're just missing out in the blessing of not being here for the torture and the torment. And I'm going to tell you that first five months of who uh is left behind, the 144,000 are sealed. That's the Israelite male Jews that are sealed. They won't be touched. But these locust things are going to be going around stinging every other human being on this earth. And so if you miss this rapture, which is the blessing to get out of that, then you're stuck dealing with that torment and torture and pain. I am trying to hopefully catch you before it gets there. Please, I urge you, not only repent, but get into the presence of God and show yourself worthy to God. Amen. Look at what 2 Peter 3:14 says. Therefore, beloved, looking forward to these things, be diligent to be found by him in peace without spot and blameless. Again, the same message. You're seeing the same theme. It is time that we get into the presence of the Lord in our secret place and say, "Okay, God, I am going to do my best. Yeah, I s I fall every day. Look at what happened in my testimony I shared earlier for this week. Getting caught up in the the things of the world even, you know, and I taught on this uh uh the last message about even the elect possibly being deceived. It's like that should scare the living hell out of you in all reality. Oh, I hope this is why I get into the secret place with the Lord. I'm praying. Lord, don't let me get deceived. I'm hoping that helmet is thick, strong, and it keeps the world out of my head and my heart. So, when the attacks come on, because that's what's happening right now. The deception is on, the attacks are on. The world seems so tempting to, oh, I can relax and be at peace here and enjoy. But it's coming. It's coming. This day of the Lord is coming. It is prophetic. It is prophesied. I think all of the the u prophets talk about it if not most of them do but it's coming and the word of God was written and assembled for us today to know what's coming because we're that generation. And I'm telling you my friends, you got to wake up, get the fog out of your mind. Be diligent and prepare. Meaning get into that secret place with the Lord. Pray. Pray for yourself. Pray for your family. Pray. Let God hear your voice and you hear his voice. Meaning, you get the scriptures and learn. Don't Don't rely on the preachers out here because they're the ones that are teaching you, hey, no one's going to know when anyways. Don't worry about it. That's what a lot of them are teaching. That's not what the Bible says. You can just see what I just taught. We know 120 years in advance and seven days before. We know. Oh, and it looks like around noon. All I'm saying is be ready. Amen. Let's pray. And let's pray for that strength. Let's pray together. Uh I want you to agree with me in prayer. And I pray that you are diligent in your prayer life and that you and God get to know one another. Amen. Oh, heavenly father, we thank you for this word. Oh, thank you for getting us prepared. I pray and ask that you prepare us appropriately. That you give us the the strength and the endurance to get into the secret place with you to find out who you are. That we talk to you and that we hear you and that we apply your word to our spirit and our soul and that we can say, "You are God. You are in control and we know where you're going and we're going to follow where you go." Oh, hallelujah. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you, Father God. In the glorious name of Jesus, we pray. Amen. Amen. And God bless you. And I'll see you in the next video. Bye-bye. Previous Next Home

BUT THROUGH KNOWLEDGE Equip believers to understand biblical deliverance as a walk of freedom through truth—learning to discern spirit, soul, and body—so they can renew the soul, resist fleshly bondage, break generational patterns through forgiveness, and live led by the Holy Spirit. < Back BUT THROUGH KNOWLEDGE Pastor Marcos Marrero February 3, 2006 Objective: Equip believers to understand biblical deliverance as a walk of freedom through truth—learning to discern spirit, soul, and body—so they can renew the soul, resist fleshly bondage, break generational patterns through forgiveness, and live led by the Holy Spirit. Synopsis: The message opens in prayer, asking for “the sincere milk of the Word” and God’s strength in weakness. It teaches that truth brings freedom (Jn 8:32): believers are declared free, yet must walk out of bondage by gaining knowledge and wisdom (Prov 28:26; 11:9). Jesus warns that practiced sin enslaves (Jn 8:34); 1 Jn 1:8 admits we still sin, while 1 Jn 3:9 speaks of the reborn spirit that cannot sin. Reconciling these, 1 Thes 5:23 shows we are tri-part beings: spirit (already made alive), soul (being saved), and body (not perfected until resurrection; 1 Cor 15:50–57). The battleground is the soul—our “operating system”—which will be driven either by the Spirit’s wisdom (James 3; Jn 6:63) producing the fruit of the Spirit (Gal 5:22–23), or by worldly, sense-driven impulses producing the works of the flesh (Gal 5:19–21) that steal the joy of God’s kingdom within. The sermon addresses inherited iniquities across generations and offers a practical path: confess and forgive ancestral sins, sever old ties, and receive the Spirit’s breath to lead the soul (Jn 20:21–23; 1 Jn 1:9). Biblical examples (David and the showbread; Rahab) illustrate being led by the Spirit over legalism. The call to action: pursue truth, renew the soul, actively forgive, and live daily under the Spirit’s governance to experience ongoing deliverance and genuine freedom in Christ. Inspired Teaching: sincere milk of the work, the word. And we ask for your anointing tonight, Father God, upon our ears, upon our eyes, uh the eyes of our understanding. I pray that you would open our ears that we may hear what the Holy Spirit is saying to us tonight as we partake of your word, that you will give us a heart not only to understand it, but to implement it. Father God, thank you, Lord Jesus, for your presence here tonight. Thank you for blessing Fred and Tony and thank you for blessing vision for Women Ministries, Father God. And thank you, dear Lord Jesus, for giving strength, Father God. Uh uh when we stumble and we get weak, Father God, and we get weary because of the fight, Father God. You come in strong. You show yourself strong to the weak, Father God. And I pray dear Lord Jesus that as we have gone through our times of weaknesses and and and uh and fights and struggles and battles that you are here tonight and that you are here strong on our behalf. Hallelujah in Jesus name. Amen. Praise God. God is strong. Hallelujah. Praise you Jesus. I'm gonna be speaking about liberate. I guess uh uh knowledge is deliverance or freedom uh to know and uh I want to get as much as I can in without rushing it. So I'm going to be um going by the scriptures kind of quick and if he can take notes, no problem. I'll give this to Fred and he can um uh and he can make up well actually he has copy of them already given copies of it but the first scripture is in John 8:32 and then we know this one Jesus says and you shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free. Now uh we have to understand that uh you can be declared free and not be free. You know we had the um uh the war the civil war to where you know the slaves were declared free but then if you were on a plantation and you didn't have nowhere to go technically you were not owned but you still had to pay now for rent and everything else. So you still didn't get anything. you work for free. Okay? So technically you were free but in reality you were not. Okay? And so we have to understand that that happens with us Christians too. We are free because Jesus has made us free. But if we're bound by the devil, we're still having to pay dues to the devil. I don't care what you call it. So Jesus says, "You shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free." Proverbs 28:26, it says, "He that walks in knowledge will be delivered." You know, I have it in Spanish and I'm translating. I better look it up real quick. Let's go to Proverbs 28:26. Make sure that I get it right. See, that's how I get in trouble in Spanish. I try to translate from English to Spanish. And then it's the uh the Bible according to my own translation. Uh and that doesn't work as you know. So, Proverbs 28:26 says, "He who trusts in his own heart is a fool, but whoever walks wisely will be delivered." Proverbs 28:26. It if you walk wisely, you will be delivered. Okay? The opposite of that is if we walk foolishly, we will be snare or bound. So, so the point I'm trying to make is with these three scriptures and one more that I'm going to read. The point that I'm trying to make is that even though once we have accepted Jesus Christ as our savior and lord, we are free, it requires for us to walk out of the prison. You know, you can take a bird that's been on his cage uh for a long long time and open the door and the bird is so used to being in there and having the food there that even if he flies away, he doesn't know what to do and he comes back and that in reality we were on the human nature so long that we come into the freedom of God. And the first thing he says, "Oh my god, but if I give television, if I keep boo if I give boo up, if I give my joints up, if I give this, if I give that, if I give all of the things, what's left, Lord, just stuff me up and put me on a wall someplace, you know? I mean, I don't have a life." That's the mentality that we get when we get saved because, you know, man, everything is is bad for you. You can't listen to oldies. You can't listen to raps. Okay, let's there's nothing that you can do. My god, you know, I mean, I'm dead. And that's the mentality that we have that brings us back to the old way of life. And the other scripture is in Proverbs 11:9. This is one of the scriptures that we use for for many years on the deliverance ministry. And uh it says uh he uh proverbs 11:19, the hypocrite with his mouth destroys his neighbor, but through knowledge through knowledge the righteous will be delivered. Through knowledge. So here you have Jesus says you will know the truth and the truth is going to make you free. He says that if you walk in uh in in in knowledge, you will be delivered. And then he says that the just, that's us, because we're just because Jesus made us just uh uh will be delivered by by by the truth. Um he says um but through knowledge the righteous will be delivered. Now, when he's talking about deliverance, many Christians, they have that religious spirit on them. Said, "Well, I've already been delivered. I've already been set free." Jesus paid for all of my sins. You know, I'm I'm as delivered as I'll ever going to be, you know. And this is basically what the Pharisees said to Jesus when Jesus came in and and was telling them that they're doing wrong things. We're not slaves to anybody. They were slave to the Romans, but oh no, we're not slaves. We're children of Abraham. We're not slaves. And how did Jesus answer to them? Look at John 8:34. Let's go to John 8:34 real quick. And this is what Jesus has to says about those who by inheritance, they have inherited the promises of God. And so they believe there are free. And Jesus said to them in John 8:34, "Most assuredly I say to you, whoever commits sin is a slave of sin." Uhoh. Do you know any Christians that have sinned lately? Well, we're free, but yet we're slaves to sin. And this is I guess the u the greatest tool that Satan has over all Christians that you know we are free. We have been set free. We have been purchased. We're hes of Abraham. We have the blessings of God upon our lives. But yet because of lack of knowledge. We do not have freedom. We do not have liberty. We do not have deliverance. We walk in sin. And when we walk in sins, we're a slave to sin. And who's the one that runs the sin market? Satan. So that means he can manipulate you, right? That means that you you get on high for the Lord. And Satan said, "I bet don't bother him now. He's in one of those uh Holy Ghost high, you know. I'll wait until he gets a little depressed. I'll wait until he gets a little down." You know, that's what it is for people that want to quit smoking. They go for 30 days, 40 days. They're doing real good. And then when the pressure gets in, you know, he throws, throws, and then, oh man, you got to have that nicotine. You know, you got to have it to to release the pressure. And so that's what he does. He sees you in a Holy Ghost high and then he waits his time. He said he'll come down from that mountain. He can't stay up there forever. And he waits until you come down. And man, when you come down, he's waiting for you. And he's waiting for you with a big hammer and he hits you with it. And boom, he says, "Oh, I got you again. Now you're a slave to sin again." So I want to deal in this first part with uh uh this issue. How do we know the truth so that we can walk in freedom? How can we walk in freedom so that we can be delivered? And and how can can can we understand uh the deliverance that God has for us? Okay, I want to throw you a curveball. Now, if you go to first John, this is one of the the uh what you may call it uh theological issues that I had to deal with in my own life when I got saved and I began to study the word of God. First John chapter 1, uh verse 8. First John is towards the end of the Bible. It's uh right after Peter. I think you got uh James, Peter, and John, the letters after Hebrews. So towards the end of the Bible. Okay. Now 1 John 1:8, let's read it. It says, "If we say that we have no sin, we deceive oursel and the truth is not in us." Uhoh. John 8:34 says that if you sin, you're a slave to sin. And first John 1:8 says that if we say that we do not sin, we're liars. So we're sinning. So that means that to whatever degree may be on each individual person, we are all having to deal with sin's manipulation over our life. You can't escape it. It's there. Okay. Now, let me throw another curveball at you. Go to First John 3 verse 9 since we're right there on that uh that beautiful chapter. 1 John 3:9. First John 3:9 says, "Whoever has been born of God does not sin." Uh oh, I missed that curve by mile. Whoever has been born of God does not sin. Uh oh, I don't think I'm being born again. How many of us have not? Well, first John 1:8 just told us that if we say that we haven't sinned, we're lying. And now first John 3:8 3:9 says, "Whoever has been born of God does not sin, for his seed, God's seed, remains in him, and he cannot sin because he has been born of God." Now remember I read you three scriptures uh John 8:32, Proverbs 28:26, Proverbs 11:9 that says that it is true knowledge that the righteous it is delivered. It is through understanding that we get set free. So we need to understand what that verse is saying to us. If we do not understand what those verses are saying to us, then we can still walk in ignorance and in lack of knowledge. And when we're in lack of knowledge, we're not delivered. We're bound we're bound by ignorance. Um Hosea 6:4 I think it says uh uh my people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Okay, lack of knowledge. What you don't know will hurt you. What you don't know will hurt you because that's the realm that Satan works on. So what is John or the Holy Spirit speaking through John about? Okay, in order to understand this, let's go to 1 Thessalonians 5:23 and then I'll explain it. I'll give you a fast poll that you can hit. 1 Thessalonians 5:23. 1 Thessalonians 5:23. And that's right before a few books before First John. 1 Thessalonians 5:23. Now may the God of peace himself whenever God introduces himself by a title he is telling you what he's dealing with. Did you know that most Christians do not have peace because of the fact that they know that they are being manipulated by Satan at certain times? Nothing grieves a Christian more than being all of the these are together. So, first Thessalonia is with Timothy where Timothy and Titus are which is right before Hebrews. But, uh, Christians get grieved when they know that Satan has a hold on them because you're trying to serve God. You're trying to worship God and you have that voice, that accuser in the ear telling you hypocrite. You were out there doing this today, doing that, and you're trying to come over here now serve God. you know, if you are an usher or if you're trying to play uh for the Lord or praying with somebody and we're having to deal with that. And so, if we do not understand this, we cannot be delivered because truth is what sets us free. Now, 1 Thessalonians 5:23, God says, "I am the God of peace, and I'm going to show you something that is going to give you peace." First Thessalonians towards the back of the Bible, right where you were, right by First John, just work towards the front of the Bible. You have Hebrews and then all of the TE's are there. Yeah. Okay. So, God is saying, "I am the God of peace and I'm going to show you something that is going to give you peace." 1 Thessalonians 5:23, it says, "May the God of peace himself sanctify you completely." Now I want you to underline that word you completely in in Spanish is really good. I got a neat revelation when I was starting that in Spanish is the whole you, the real you, the complete you. And that's why God is said may the God of peace sanctify you completely, your whole you, not just part of you, your whole you. First Thessalonians 5:23, your whole you. And then he tells you what the whole you is. He says uh uh may may now may the God of peace himself sanctify you completely the whole you and may your and then he says whole spirit soul and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. So what God is saying here is that we are made of three parts. We're made of three parts. We're made of spirit. We're made of soul and we're made of body. Now, the soul and the spirit are made of invisible stuff. You can't see the spirit. You cannot see the soul. Have you ever been next to a person that's dying? I kind of try to look to see if I see a smoke or a puff or something come out. Doesn't happen. You can't see it. The soul leaves the body. It's go. All you see is the breath stop, you know. the breast stop and that's it. You don't see the spirit coming out. The spirit is invisible. The same way with the soul. The soul is invisible. So then the only part that we see is onethird of us which is made of physical stuff. That's the body. And so we have a tendency to think that the body is the whole thing. You see? But no, we're two parts spirit, one part physical. Two parts invisible, one part visible. So God deals with the whole us, not just the one. So we have to understand that if I sin, God is going to look beyond the body to the other two parts to see what is causing that body to malfunction. If you have a car and the car is not running, you got to check the uh uh uh uh the gasoline. You got to check the oil. You got to check the battery. There's different. There's there's electricity is one part of it. The combustion system is another part of it, you know, and and your tires have to be on or the battery have to be on, you know. So, so God is the God that looks at the whole you. And if God sees your body breaking down and doing something, instead of God judging the body, he looks at the whole person to see where the problem is. Because you see, it is through knowledge or through understanding or through revelation that the righteous is delivered. The truth sets you free when you understand this. Now, I I got a whole bunch of scripture there, but for the sake of of just getting the point home and getting as much as a message as I can. Like I said, I got five pages. I want to tell you our physical body will not underline this will not be made perfect in the state that it is in right now. I don't care how much you pray. I don't care how much you fast. I don't care how much you exercise. You can eat fruits and nuts until you die. And you're going to die still. You're going to get old still. you're going to hurt still. This physical body became corrupt when Adam sinned. And this physical body, the only hope for the physical body is in u I I can give you the scripture if you want to take uh the notes is in 1 Corinthians 15 15- 57. It talks about the day that the body is going to be redeemed. 1 Corinthians 15:50-57. It says that the trumpet is going to blow because the trumpet will blow at the last time. And it says and every person to die who their bodies got all and die. You know, Moses was a man of faith and he died. Abraham was a man of great faith and he died. And the prophets, they were killed. They didn't get a chance to die on their own. Most of them were killed, but they died. See, we have to understand that our physical body, the the one-third part of who we are, will not be trans will not be redeemed until the day that it is transformed. In other words, if the trumpet, there's a trumpet that's going to sound and that trumpet is going to initiate the restoration of the physical body. That means that if I die and they put me in a wholesome place and 30 years later the trumpet blows signaling that Jesus is coming back that physical body which at the time would be nothing but dust is going to shoot up. All of the molecules the atoms are going to come back together and the spirit and the soul which are already with Christ are going to have a house to operate here on the earth with him. This is what's going to happen. So first of all my friend understand this that the physical body can only be controlled or brought under desemation of the spirit but cannot be made perfect. Cannot be made perfect. He's going to get tired. Jesus got tired. Jesus couldn't carry the cross. They had to get somebody to carry the cross for him. That physical body is going to fail. That's why the Bible says put no confidence in the flesh. Don't trust your physical body. Trust the spirit, you know, have a pair of handcuff and lock yourself up until throw the key out the window if you need to stay in for that night. And when somebody comes in the morning, tell them where the key is at downstairs, come pick up, set you free. Do whatever you can to control that physical thing. But the physical body cannot be redeemed until you're transformed by the coming of the Lord. But now, and that's what 1 Corinthians 15 says. So then you need to understand that two parts of you, your spirit and your soul are living in a house that is full of termites and cockroaches and rats, bad plumbing. All kinds of bad things are in the house that we're living on. So we're going to have to learn true knowledge is a righteous deliver. We're going to have to learn how to live in this house. Okay. Now, so when first John 1:8 says, "If you say you have no sin, you're lying is because in your physical body, you will always have the tendency to sin." Your physical body, as long as it's alive, as long as there's breath in that physical body, the tendency to sin will always be there. So, we need to know that. So when the Bible says, if you say that you're have no sin, you're lying. That's right. But what is he talking about? He's talking about the body. But now when the Bible says in 1 John 3:9 that he who is born of God does not sin, cannot sin and will never sin. Hallelujah. Is because God is referring to your spirit man. See, spirits don't die. We need to understand the physical body, the one-third of us has a beginning and has an end. You know that's how but spirits don't die. Spirits are eternal. So a dead spirit simply means a spirit that separated from God. So when Adam was created, God played around with mud. He he he started putting some m together and he formed you know God is pretty good with his hands you know he created everything the heavens are his handiwork. So if God can create all that beauty I mean he took man and he just fashion but it was nothing but a lump of clay but then the breath of God which is eternal spirit. God's always been always will be. God has no beginning no end. God, eternal spirit blew into the the the nose. I I figured God maybe took his fingernail and and poke a little hole up in there in the nose, you know, and when he blew in through that, the man became a living soul, meaning the spirit of God gave life to the physical body. Well, when Adam, God said to Adam, if you do this that you're not supposed to do, you're going to die. Referring to his spirit. Satan comes in and says, "Oh, you will not die." Referring to the body. We need to understand that this is how Satan operates. Satan always uh approaches us in the physical uh way because he knows that's where we're weak at in the flesh. But God always begins with the spirit because that's what gives life. The spirit is what gives life. So when Satan said to oh no, you will not die. Adam took of the fruit and he still lived 930 years. His physical body did but his spirit became separated from God instantly. He lived in a garden of Eden with God and he was thrown out. Okay? So when Jesus and and and and catch this because this is important. God said we have to get rid of the man because if he reaches his hand now and takes of the tree of the fruit of life which is Jesus if he reaches his hand and takes of the tree of the fruit of life he's going to live forever but he will live forever in sin because you see the sin has to be taken out of him be before his spirit could be restored so God had to take him out of the garden deal with his sinful nature before he could bring the tree of life now Jesus comes in and he says, "This is my body. Take and eat. This is the cup, my blood. Drink it." Once we do that, I confess it. You cannot get saved without confessing that you're a sinner. Because you cannot get rid of the sin unless first you confess it. So you come to God and said, "I confess that I'm a sinner and and and accept Jesus sacrifice in your behalf." The breath of God blows again on you in the nostrils. The Holy Spirit comes. The Holy Spirit came to me June 3rd, 1976 when I went to the altar and and confessed that I was a sinner that night. The Holy Spirit came in and entered into me. And what he did is he made my spirit who was separated from God quote unquote dead. He wasn't dead because spirits live eternally. My spirit would have been in hell forever. Separated from God, he made my spirit alive in him. And even though my body hasn't been redeemed yet, and it might take thousands of years, it may be tomorrow, but whatever it takes, I can never die again. My spirit is connected with God cannot die and it cannot sin. And so when First John 3:9 says, "Whoever is born of God does not sin," let's read it. I'll show you why. And in Spanish, this was neat. I got the uh uh I got some neat revelation uh getting it's like getting a different translation. 1 John 3:9. Whoever has been born of God does not sin for his seed remains in him and he cannot sin because he has been born again speaking of our spirit men. But the word there his seed meaning God's seed in Spanish is [Music] and that comes from the semen from from the the male semen. In other words, in the physical body we have a semen that when planted into the woman brings life. It causes something to to to to be conceived and to be born. God saying of our spirit when my spirit comes into your spirit my semen or God's lifegiving power came into the spirit and if you read out it says and it remains whoever has been born of God does not sin because God's sin is in him and remains cannot be taken out Satan cannot cause the semen of God to be taken out out of your spirit because your spirit is either separated separated with God or or united with God. And sin cannot separate your spirit from the love of God. Read Romans 8. Uh uh uh Paul says, "I am fully persuaded that neither life nor death, nor principalities, nor power, nor angel, nor demon, nor things uh uh present, nor things to come can ever separate me from the love of God." That's where the why? Because the love of God has been shed abroad in my heart. That's where the spirit is. So knowledge begins with the fact that two out of three parts of us has already been dealt with. Our body is corrupt and our spirit has been made alive in Jesus. I am perfect in Jesus. I am seated at the right hand of the father. That's my address. Like uh Fred likes to say, that's my mailing address is in heaven. Satan sends me any hate mail, that's where it goes. The angels of God got to deal with that them bum letters and the things that he said. That's that's where they go. That's my address. That's my home address. So then now comes apart if my spirit is born again and it cannot sin and my body has been so polluted that has to be destroyed and it has to be uh uh renewed or made alive or uh how do we say transformed then the part of me that needs fixing like I said I can't do nothing about the body I can do nothing about the spirit then the part of me that needs fixing is the soul see the soul soul is our operating system. Our soul is our operating system. Like a computer, you can have the in the computer thousand gigabytes or whatever they call those things. You can have all of that knowledge and everything, but if you don't have a Windows program, it's not going to do you any good. Because if you don't speak that computer language to tell it what to do, you're not going to do nothing. But yeah, you get your Windows program, which is the operating system, and it has this little thing they call a mouth, and you just point and click, point and click, point and click, and the computer go, but all you're doing is pointing and clicking. That's how it is. Our our spirit is very complex, but the soul makes it easy. The soul is just a point and click. So then the soul is the one that needs to be saved. In other words, my spirit is already saved. My body will be saved when the trumpet uh uh comes, but my soul is being saved. That's the part of me that needs to be worked on. Now, let me see if I can find because I'm going so fast over here. Uh Luke 6:45, Jesus says, "The good man out of the treasure that is in his heart brings good thing." uh uh uh the the the evil man out of the treasure that is in his heart brings. And then he says out of the abundance of the heart that the mouth speaks. Okay. So whatever is in the soul, that's what's going to speak. And then uh okay, let me see. Um remember I'm translating as I'm reading this our Spanish. No. Okay. I'm looking for a scripture here. Okay, let's go to uh 1 Peter 1:9. 1 Peter 1:9. It's right there by where First John is at. Just go back a little bit. 1 Peter 1:9. 1 Peter 1:9 says, "Receiving the end of your faith, the salvation of your souls." receiving the end of your faith which is the salvation of your soul. First Peter 1:9. Now if the end of faith is getting your soul saved then the beginning is when the spirit got saved. So we need to understand that our spirit is already saved. Our body will be transformed when the trumpet blows but the soul is being saved right now. The script that I was trying to look that I couldn't find is working out your own salvation with trembling and fear. And uh I don't know what what scripture that was in I had it on on this one. Uh for those of you who are taking notes or uh Philippians Philippines Philippians 2:12, he says, "Work out your own salvation with trembling and fear." So the salvation is worked out in in in in there. Now I'm going to give you an illustration to help our physical mind understand how the soul the spirit interact in 1 Thessalonians 5:23 where God says your whole person he's praying that your whole being your whole person will be kept until the day of redemption your whole spirit your soul and your body. The word for spirit all through the New Testament which was written in Greek is numa. Numa that's like u uh the inner tubes that you put in bicycles, you put in cars and numa. That's where we get pneumatic, pneumatic tools, all of the things. And it means numa because in in both Hebrew and Greek the word spirit, breath, air are all interchangeable. If you say air in Greek, you might as well be saying spirit. If you say spirit, you might as well be saying air because air cannot be seen. And as I said, our soul and and and our spirits cannot be seen. So they call them air. So then the word numa pneumaticos in in the Greek is the word that says what our spirit is. And it means a blast of air. Like I take a balloon that has nothing in it. That blast of air, that's the word numa. And that is what God did when he got a hold of Adam's nostrils and he blew into his nostril. The spirit came into Adam. Now why is this important? Okay. The word for soul in the same where he said your whole spirit your soul. The word for soul is suket. This is where we get the word psyche. Psychology. Everything that has a p and a h before that comes from the word soul. You know psychology has to do with with the study of of the mind. you know, uh, uh, suket also means air, but not a blast of air, just air. And so when you look at it the way that the Greek presents it is our soul is like a tool that runs on air. Let's say a jackhammer. You got a nice jackhammer, you need a compressor. The jackhammer runs in air, but by itself it cannot run. So you get a compressor going, you hook to that jackhammer, and as the air begins to blow through the jackhammer, power comes in and it moves the tool. Our soul was designed or created by God to be motivated by spirits air. So my soul is driven by spirits. Why you think they call it inspiration? Spirits working inside. Inspiration. To be inspired, to be motivated. Okay. You want to be a a what do you call it? A Olympic person. And you got to have a lot of air motivating you in there to where when everybody quits, you keep going. You keep going. You are driven. The word self-esteem is soul air, soul power moving. So once we understand this, now we can get a better picture of what God is talking about when he's dealing with deliverance of oursel. Because here's the problem. when I was born up until when I was 29, my spirit man was separated from God because I wasn't born again. So my spirit was out of the picture. It was disengaged. It didn't have nothing to do with with my life. So what was it then that was motivating my soul? What was my inspiration? What was the force that was robbing my life before I got born again? Well, my senses, the loss of the flesh, the loss of the eye, the pride of life. Those are the three main spirits that are in the world. The loss of the flesh. So, I was driven by fear. I was driven by love. I was driven by whatever thing you know, selfish love, but all kinds of things. Those are the things that drive us. And since those things are all in the world, James uh one of the scriptures I have is is James chapter three I think it was and it talks about how there's two different kinds of windows. Yeah. James 3:13-18. He says that there are those two kinds of wisdom. See because knowledge is equated with the spirit or the breath. So when God says it is true knowledge that the righteous is delivered, it's not the knowledge of the world. It's the knowledge that comes out of the mouth of God. John 6:63 Jesus says, "The words that I speak to you, they are spirit and they are life." So when the the the knowledge that comes from above like James 3 says comes in, it produces peace. It produces self-control. It produces good things on my body. You know what you put in your soul determine what your body walks on. That's what Galatians chapter 5 is all about. Tells you what the fruit of the flesh is and what the fruit of the spirit is. When the spirit of God is moving through your soul, there's love, joy, peace, longsuffering, goodness, gentleness, faithfulness, self-control. The body says, "Oh, I want that." Shut up. You can't have it. The spirit is driving you. The spirit said, "That's not good for you." And so, the spirit is motivating the soul. on the soul like an athlete that is driven to accomplish something denies himself, denies the body the things that he wants because he has a goal. He's driven by something. Paul uses that when he's talking about how athletes uh uh uh work to to get a crown that phase he says we should be driven by that eternal crown that we're going to get. Okay. So now then there's uh also a wisdom in in in James 3 that is from the world. He says this wisdom is sensual. Not sexual sensual meanings that this wisdom manipulates the soul through the senses. What you see, what you hear, what you smell, what you taste, what you touch. And that is Satan's realm because he is the prince of the power of the air. The spirits that run the world are all geared up to the senses. Sit on the TV and watch for 20 minutes and tell me how much stuff you're going to see there in those 20 minutes that are going to tempt your senses. They're all gear up to your senses to manipulate your senses. Every time I fasted, I see commercials about steaks and barbecues and and it looks so good. I could go to the TV and take a bite of it. You know, it is like that. It's all manipulated to do that. So then deliverance or the knowledge that brings deliverance is having to understand what spirit is driving me? What spirit is driving my soul? Well, Jesus says, "By the fruit you will know them." You know, you can uh let me take a drink of water here. You can uh uh hang around with the person that you just met and you hang around with them for let's say 30 minutes, an hour. And within that period of time, you're going to know exactly what drives that person. Whether a person is driven by money, whether the person is driven by pride, whether a person is driven by family, whether the person is driven by whatever is driven, it comes out so quick. It is known because you know is is is what we're breathing is what we're moving on. deliverance. The knowledge that does deliverance is given to us by God for the purpose of identifying what spirits are driving me or motivating me and why are they there? You know, deliverance is is is simple is what is it? Because uh if you go to Galatians and and I'm trying to to to get the whole th Previous Next Home

ARE YOU WATCHING END TIMES UPDATE MATTHEW 24 The purpose of this teaching is to awaken believers to the urgency of Christ’s return by examining Matthew 24 and related scriptures. It seeks to equip listeners with biblical understanding of fulfilled and pending end-time prophecies, urging them to remain spiritually alert, develop a personal relationship with Jesus, and live in readiness for His coming. < Back ARE YOU WATCHING END TIMES UPDATE MATTHEW 24 Minister Lisa Kane October 19, 2025 Objective: The purpose of this teaching is to awaken believers to the urgency of Christ’s return by examining Matthew 24 and related scriptures. It seeks to equip listeners with biblical understanding of fulfilled and pending end-time prophecies, urging them to remain spiritually alert, develop a personal relationship with Jesus, and live in readiness for His coming. Synopsis: In “Are You Watching?”, Lisa Kane delivers a detailed end-times update centered on Matthew 24, supported by Revelation and Ezekiel. She begins with Jesus’ warning to watch and remain prepared, explaining through scripture and analogy that believers can recognize prophetic signs just as one can discern details in a family photograph. The teaching highlights fulfilled prophecies—false prophets, wars, deception, famines, pestilences, earthquakes, lawlessness, and growing offenses—showing their manifestation in current events and cultural shifts. Lisa contrasts the perspectives of unbelievers, Israel, and the Church, underscoring that only those who cultivate a close relationship with Christ will truly discern the times. She explains the distinction between tribulation, God’s wrath, and the rapture, urging believers to remain steadfast and repentant, like the thief on the cross who acknowledged his guilt and received salvation. The message closes with a call to readiness: to live daily in fellowship with Jesus, to watch with spiritual discernment, and to prepare for the fulfillment of the remaining signs—including the abomination of desolation, the great earthquake, and ultimately, Christ’s return with power and glory. The teaching is both a prophetic reminder and an urgent invitation to believers and unbelievers alike to turn to the Lord while there is still time. Inspired Teaching: Hello and welcome to the House of Faith Ministries. I'm Lisa Kane and I'm recording this on Saturday, August 19th, 2023. Welcome. This messages called Are You Watching? This is an end times update and we're going to look at the details of Matthew 24, most of Matthew 24. So, we're going to break that down. And uh it's been a while since I've done an end times update, so it's due time. I tried to do it last week and the Holy Spirit said no. So, we're doing it this week. Apparently, he opened the door for me to do this. So, we're going to do this. Let's open up in a word of prayer. Father God, we thank you for your word. We thank you for your blessings and we thank you because you are wonderful and we honor you. We put you first in our lives. We seek you first. You are truly the center of our lives. You're the rock of our foundation, Father God. And thank you for your salvation. Thank you, Jesus, for dying on the cross for our sins. Thank you for being the son of God, the perfect one who was able to complete and accomplish what the Bible tells us which you spoke. So Lord, I thank you and I pray that you open up our eyes and ears and hearts and minds to see, hear, receive and believe and apply your word to our lives, Father God, and get ready that we can just know what's going on. Thank you, Lord, in the name of Jesus. Amen. Amen. Amen. And let's go to our opening scripture here. Matthew 24:43. But know this, that if the master of the house had known what hour the thief would come, he would have watched and not allowed his house to be broken into. Okay. So, we're going to break down Matthew 24. We're going to check off some prophecies that are been that have already been completed. But I want you to see what he says as we get towards the end of Matthew 24. He's saying if you knew the hour, you would not have let the thief come in. So if you know the hour, wait a minute, but you you're you're probably thinking no one knows the date and the hour. Well, you know, there's more scripture here and you have to read it in context to really understand what the Lord is saying. Look at Revelation 33. Remember therefore how and and this is by the way um Jesus writing the seven letters to the churches and they're talking to the church of Sardis here. He says remember therefore how you have received and heard hold fast and repent. Turn your life around is what that word means. Therefore if you will not watch I will come upon you as a thief and you will not know what hour I will come upon you. Now, did you catch that? Because there's some double negatives in there. Let's let's change the negatives because when you have two double negatives, it means a positive. So, let's look at this. Therefore, if you will watch, I will not come upon you as a thief, and you will know what hour I will come upon you. So, very important that Jesus is telling us to watch because you should know, you should know what's going on. Think of it like this. Um, if you, this is an analogy, but this is a very good analogy that I think is very applicable to this. Imagine if you walked into your greatg grandmother's house and when you walk in there's a foyer or a hallway and she's got all these old photographs and and they're all on the wall and you're just you walk by and you look at them and you know you know you don't know 90% of the people in these pictures. But you look at one in particular and there looks like to be a mom and a dad, three kids and a snowman. They're wearing warm clothing. What do you know automatically about that photograph? It was taken in the winter. That's on the surface. Okay, you can know this automatically. Now, if you decide to dig a little deeper, catch that. If you decide to dig a little deeper, you can ask your great grandmother, "Who are those in the picture? When was the picture taken?" She can probably answer it most likely. Now, of course, She's got Alzheimer's and stuff. She may not be able to, but maybe you can take the picture out of the frame. Maybe somebody wrote something on the back. There are other ways. You may hit a dead end, but up to that point, you can know when that photograph was taken. Now, let's apply that analogy to end times. You can know when the end is coming. There there's a lot of signs here that tell us and we're going to know. And in fact, we're going to know right up to the minute. And I I'm positive of this just the way the scriptures are written, how the Lord talks about it. And I know in the past the church has been taught that no one knows the day nor the hour. And a lot of people believe that means no one knows when. Well, that's not a true statement. So this is very specific when he says no one knows the day nor the hour. So I want to delve into another analogy that I can take uh with this is see he says it'll be like a thief in the night. Now imagine you're a thief. Let's let's look at it from this perspective. This is another analogy before we dig into it. Imagine if you're a thief and you are a thief with two others and you're at the workplace. You you actually work. you have a job and you guys met together and somehow came together where the three of you became partners and you uh divide the spoils up and what have you. Well, and the way your method is, again, this is an analogy. It's not quite perfect, but listen to how this plays out. If you the the your method is when you you take uh addresses out of the book, the yellow pages or wherever, and you decide to case the place, you monitor them for a couple of weeks. figure out when's the best time to go in and steal their goods and you do it. You divide the spoils. Okay? And it's been successful for you, the three of you. Well, in one day, you know, and the three of you are not really friends. This is just something that came about here at the workplace. You talk about it on your breaks. You talk about in the parking lot after work, what have you. That so you guys really never though took it home, you know, because there is a level where you don't want to take another thief to your home. Okay, let's put it that way. Anyways, so here you guys are are doing this. Well, you pick another address out of the book and it's your address. Now, all of a sudden, you know that they're going to case your joint and they do and and you watch them because you could do one of two things. You can tell them, "Hey, not that address. It's mine." Or because you don't want them to know your address. You have some opportunities here that if you pause and you think about this, what happens on the night that they decide to all break in? You you say, "I'm going to come in from one side or whatever." You just go sit on a chair right in front of the door. You tell them the time to come in and they come in. You're sitting there with the flashlight and a gun. Guess what? They're not going to steal from you because you are there and you knew. And that is the whole point that Jesus is trying to get across here. He says you will know. So you need to watch because you're going to see these things. But again, he's also making it known to selected people. Remember what he said in Matthew. I never knew you. These are people who prophesied in his name. Cast out demons in his name. I never knew you. So this is where now he's talking to a group of people. And what have I been teaching on this whole time? Get into the secret place with the Lord. Know him and he knows you. You've got you guys are on a firstname basis. Your friends, he's in your home. You're in his home. And that is how the relationship works and builds up. So he's talking to this particular group of people. Remember, end time prophecy has to deal with three groups of people. the nation of Israel, the body of Christ, and the unbeliever. So, now we're going to look at Matthew 24 in depth, most of it anyways. And I want you to see where we are in prophecy because it's fascinating because you got to know where we are. And then I'm going to look at things that haven't come to pass yet, those signs to look for so you would know. Amen. So, here we're going to start in Matthew 24:es 4 and 5. And Jesus answered, he's talking to his disciples. And Jesus answered and said to them, "Take heed that no one deceives you, for many will come in my name, saying, I am the Christ and will deceive many." Okay. Um, I had Jehovah's Witnesses come up to my door. Uh, this is before before we moved to Missouri. And he hands me a book and I thought it was like the Holy Bible, but they added extra scriptures, modified things, whatever. And I realized it's an entirely different book. And all the kid kept saying was, "Oh, Jesus was here when the Native Americans were here, the Indians. It was so great to know that he was here, and I believe because of that." I'm thinking, "Okay, well, I'm glad that ministered to you." But the Bible doesn't say anything about him being here with the Indians, but he's been here throughout all history anyway. So, yes, he was here with the Indians. Yes, he was here with the Romans. Yes, he was here with the Greeks. But this kid was so focused on that. And then he's getting this information from a book that's not the Holy Bible. And of course, I pointed them back to the Holy Bible. But how many are deceived by going through a different book and not the Holy Bible? Mormons the same way. Um I think the leader found some gold books underneath the New York City or something like that. And they're going to go to another planet and all their wives will come with them. Something like that. I don't I don't know the details of it because that's not I don't follow that. But how many people are following? There's a there's a huge Mormon following. And we're talking millions. So, has this scripture been fulfilled? Take heed that no one deceives you, for many will come in my name, saying, I am the Christ, and will deceive many. You know, look at the January 6 thing. How many prophets said Trump won? These are prophets. And you know what? I to my shame, I align myself with them because I believe them. and I wasn't going to the scripture and I really really I repented. This is when things in my life changed personally for me. But uh they were saying I was watching a Sid Roth episode uh and I you know he's a great man of God I think but uh he had these prophets on his podcast and he was and they were saying no he won and um one of them was saying you have your cake and eat it too and there and there I am agreeing with him and then it didn't happen and then one of them had the audacity to come back later and say well he won but it was stolen from him and so in my mind I was thinking oh Why didn't you say that beforehand? You see, meaning he didn't know. He didn't speak a true prophecy. So, how many people are being deceived? Oh my word. Anyways, this scripture is fulfilled. And I just want you to see that because people are thinking instead of following the word of God. I mean, I grew up in the church and there are things I've quoted many times and I went looking for the scripture because I wanted to finally give it a a book and a chapter and a verse to it. Guess what? it wasn't in the Bible. And I'm thinking, what? So, I had to now, this is why I look up everything that I'm talking about and I share so many scriptures with you because I learned and I hope you learn from that, too. Don't rely on things you grew up with that you have been quoted with and all this stuff. Don't rely on that, okay? Because it could deceive and uh you don't want to be in that. You don't even want to be close to that element, okay? So, continuing on, let's look at verse six. And you will hear wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not troubled, for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. We know we have World War I, we have World War II, uh the Korean War, the Vietnam War. We've had wars, and then recently the Ukraine and Russia war. It was a rumor, then it became a war. And then now you got rumors of Taiwan and China. So, all of this is fulfilled. Again, this is uh you can check that box off of this prophecy has been fulfilled. Verse 7, for nation will rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom and there will be famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places. All these are the beginning of sorrows. Nation will rise against nation. If you notice, there's alliances forming right now. You got Russia and China. Most of Africa is lining up now with them. So you um and Saudi Arabia and Israel about to make a peace treaty, a seven-year peace treaty. Gotta wonder where what that's all about. But all of these things have been taking place. And this is setting the platform for nation to rise against nation. We already see that they've got the 2030 agenda, the 2050 agenda in place. They are building the foundation to get to those points because they think it will save the earth. They got to reduce the population, go all electric, do 15minute cities. You've got all of these things that are taking place. So this foundation here, but this has already been ongoing. And it's not just kingdom against kingdom and nation against nation. I want to add in here, the wars aren't just battles with guns and stuff like that. Waring now deals with the banking industry and the money. So you can see they're rejecting the US dollar and this is that's a we're in warfare because of that. Okay. So understand nation against nation. We are in that. They're not they're deceiving us because they're not showing everything through the mainstream media. You have to go and look that information up. I want to continue on because this is there's a lot of information here, but you can delve a lot more deeper into that if you'd like. There will be famines. How many commercials do you see on TV of children starving in Africa? How many years have we've seen that? I grew up with those commercials. I'm telling you, famines have been around for a very long time. Now, they're trying to reduce all the food and stuff because they want to get the they want to actually get to um their agenda in 2050 is no meat. You don't eat any meat. You're in a 15minute city. And the cities the they want to make sure that 50% of the earth is unpopulated. By the way, it's like 75% of the earth is unpopulated right now. Okay? So, don't be caught up in this deception, but that's what this is. Famines. Look at the pestilences. We just got done with CO. There's another CO supposed to be coming out. We've had the SARS 2, SARS one, H1N1, pestilences being around. Uh, earthquakes. My goodness. Now, if you go get an earthquake app and you look at it, there's like a 6.0. several of them in all kinds of places all day long. They're accelerating. These things are accelerating. But what is this described as the time we're in right now? Birth pangs, contractions. Anyone, any mother or a husband that was there with their wife that are about to expect a child, they know they got to go through these contractions. And by the time you come to the birthing process, your contractions are like 30 seconds long, 10 second pause, 30 seconds. And that's the way it was with me when I gave birth to my daughter. I'm telling you, we're accelerating into that. So, we're not there yet because even though we're seeing all kinds of stuff happening right now, and we'll get into into that in a bit here, but you're seeing that. But earthquakes and various ways, but look at what he says here. All these are the beginning of sorrows. This is the beginning of birth pains. this is just the start. Um, and they're not, you know, these are just contractions you're starting to feel. So, this was, so all of those prophecies have been fulfilled here in our lifetime, if not even sooner before our lifetime, before our generation. So, they've been fulfilled. So, understand that. Check those boxes off. Let's continue on with what he says, though. Nine, then they will deliver you up to tribulation and kill you, and you will be hated by all nations for my name's sake. I I think it's a UN leader over there, and I'm not 100% certain, but one of them had said, um, you Christians, you will take this thing in your hand and you will shop and buy with it because you won't be able to eat or do anything else without it. And he addressed that directly to the Christians with a tone. I mean, he was vehement about it. And I was like, what did we do to you to make you like this and and it it it goes to show the demonic influence that's over him again for this end times that we are in. And and look at this here. You know, he says they will deliver you up to tribulation and kill you. you know, in the Middle East, I saw um I saw the video a little bit, not to the end, but Christians marching in for, you know, they were just walking, singing, himming in a line. They were being led by sheep, by men with guns and knives. And they get to a point and they executed them. These are martyrs for Christ. And it was like, "Oh, is the scripture fulfilled?" Yes. Do the people hate Christians, the nations? Yes. Do they hate Israel? Anti-semitism is so high, it's unbelievable. Unbelievable. And you know it's spiritual when you see and hear about that kind of stuff. But check that box off. That prophecy has been fulfilled. Verse 10. And then many will be offended. Oh, will betray one another and will hate one another. Oh my goodness. The the offense now. Oh, Black Lives Matter is because of an offense. These people were offended because two white guys kill a black guy and it keeps happening over and over again. They don't talk about the black guys killing the white guys. No, no, no. It's hypocritical. It's one-sided. And they were so offended that it all went back to, "Oh, my ancestors were in slavery." And you know what? When they started doing the DNA test and come to find out a lot of these whacks were from the whites who had slaves back then. Guess what? They don't get reimbursed for that. California was big and they wanted to give out I think it was 800 million or something and Newsome finally backed off of that. You don't hear anything about it anymore. It's not in the media anymore. Why? Because they realized, oh, we can't give into it. But they were all offended and and how many I I I'm on social media. I do watch social media. I'm kind of get a little my news from there because you get more of it there than you do anywhere else. But there you are. You've got people who are hating their neighbors. Jesus says, "Love one another. Love your neighbor as you love yourself." These are his commandments. These people are hating each other that they're putting signs on the wall calling this person a Karen because that's the word they use for calling these people and they're calling the peace the police all the time. They're attacking one another. They are offended. People were offended just by putting a Trump sign in the ground. Offended. And look it, they would call betray one another. will hate one another. They were calling the police on you. This scripture has been fulfilled. And that's in our lifetime. Now, let's look at verse 11. Then many false prophets will rise up and deceive many. I spoke about the January 6 false prophet thing. This scripture has been fulfilled. You can check that box off. Go to verse 12. And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold. flawlessness. Defund the police. Defund the police. Oh, it you know what? I did laugh and I maybe I shouldn't have, but I repented and I asked the Lord to forgive me. But at the same time, I did laugh. But you know what was it? Mayor, I think it was in Washington or Oregon. Uh Portland, I think it was something like that. Anyways, they attacked, they stole her house. They were there in her house stealing. She called the cops, but she was the biggest proponent for defund the police in that area. Well, anyways, it backfired on her, didn't it? Anyway, lawlessness will abound. You the state of California right now, you can go steal up to 950 bucks. They will not prosecute you. They will not come after you. And in fact, if your store employee or store security, they're not allowed to even go after you because if they did, they would get prosecuted. Lawlessness abounds. Oh, and love will grow cold. I just talked about neighbors hating one another. That's the same thing that was fulfilled in this time in our generation. This is incredible. You just start checking off all these boxes. Look at this verse 13. But he who endures to the end shall be saved. I spend time and have a relationship with the Lord. And there are many of us who do this. And the more that do this, this is the group that's going to endure to the end. get yourself into that group. I I I I have to urge you as much as I possibly can. And all it takes is you tell God, "I messed up. I'm guilty. I'm sorry." And then you open up his word and you start to question him. He wants to be questioned. Isaiah 1:18, "Come, let us reason together." Question. Talk to him. Let him answer you, though. You need to be open to it and open to his answer. You can be mad. You could go say, "Why? Why are you doing this, Lord?" And he will answer you. But you have to realize his answer is true and his answer is the ultimate answer. And don't go looking to me or any other preacher, pastor to answer your questions for you. We'll do the best we can, but we're just a man or a woman trying to interpret a spiritual thing. So, you got to go direct to the spiritual. You see, you don't have to go through a pastor or the mother Mary. You go straight to the source. Amen. Amen. Uh that's to endure. That's to survive. Verse 14. And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations and then the end will come because birth panes. So the last point here is everyone needs to hear the gospel. I know that there was one tribe left in Amazon and uh they have video of them out on the beach. They were wearing loin cloth and painted in red and they had spears. The helicopter is videotaping. They're just throwing their spears at them. I do know a missionary got out there. um they killed the first missionary to get there and then um I believe other missionaries are there and I think they've got the gospel in there. So we're this close to everyone hearing that. So and then the end will come. That is very powerful. So I want you to understand that. Now the next set of scriptures for Matthew 24 is all about the abomination of desolation. I'm not going to read these scriptures. You can go read it. Daniel tells you the abomination of desolation will happen in the middle of the seven-year time period of God's wrath. So that applies to the nation of Israel. It's involving their third temple. It's involving their daily sacrifices. And basically when the two witnesses die, they die three and a half years into the seven-year time period. When they die, the Antichrist sits on that throne and tells the Jews, "You will worship me." Jesus said that's called the abomination of desolation. Jesus says when you see that run. So that's what those scriptures talk about and they're talking to the nation of Israel. So I'm going to skip those scriptures and we're going to continue on here in verse 29. Says immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened and the moon will not give its light. The stars will fall from heaven and the powers of heaven and the powers of the heavens will be shaken. I'm going pause there. Ezekiel 38 and39, Revelation 6 and Matthew 24 here talk about the same event. It's a great earthquake that takes place. The sun goes dark, the moon turns to red. So they're talking about the exact same event. Now look at this. He says and it's immed. So when he says and then the end will come, this is that this is what's called the day of the Lord. This is day one of that 7-year time period. There's an army in Ezekiel 38 that talks about this. This army, Gog and Magog, and its allies, Russia, China, and whomever they ally with are going to attempt to invade Israel. And God is going to prevent it. He's going to kill all these people on the day. It's like a two million man army. He's going to kill them all. It's going to take the nation of Israel. This is how specific the scriptures are. It's going to take the nation of Israel seven months to clean up the bodies, to find all the body parts. You go read this. Go to Ezekiel and read it. Do some homework. Research it because I want you to find this information under the guidance of the Holy Spirit. Don't listen to me. Let the Holy Spirit reveal this to you. So, this event all happens on the same time. This is the day of the Lord. This is the same event. This prophecy has not happened yet. We still have a sun and we still have a moon. They're still shining their lights. Let's read a little further. Verse 30. Then notice the conjunction here. So this earthquake, the sun goes dark, the moon turns to red. This arm is going to be killed. That's not here in Matthew 24, but it is in Ezekiel. All this happens on the same day. Look at what he says. Then conjunction then. Then the sign of the son of man will appear in heaven. What is the sign of the son of man? We're going to see that a little bit more. He explains it a little further, but it's the lightning coming from the east to the west. The rapture. For those of you who say the rapture, the word rapture is not in the Bible. It is. It's in Latin. In the Latin Bible, raptura. And by the way, it means caught up. So when they translated rapura into English, they used the basic caught up. make it simple for you to understand. So yes, it's in the Bible. Yes, the rapture takes event. And do you see it takes place on the day of the Lord? It's on this day. And it's after this huge tribulation of this earthquake. All the the tribulation we we're in a great tribulation right now. The seven-year time period. I know a lot of people call it the tribulation. It's not the great tribulation. That's God's wrath. God's wrath supersedes great tribulation. supersedes tribulation. So, you got to watch your terminology when you're dealing with this and talking about it. But here we can see straight up, the son of man will appear in heaven. And then look at this. And then all the tribes of the earth will mourn and they will see the son of man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. And I'm not done there. Look at this. And he will send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet. And they will gather together his elect from the four winds from one end of heaven to the other. That's the rapture. You know, and for those of you who have a hard time understanding the rapture, think of it like this. It's like the days of Noah. We're going to get into the scripture here. Methuselah had to die. Noah was the last righteous man and Methuselah was righteous before him, but Methuselah lived 969 years. So, Methuselah had to die. Once he died, then God can move forward because now he had less than 10 people righteous on the earth. Uh you can go read Abraham's conversation that he has with God when God comes to visit him before he goes to Sodom and Gomorrah. He's telling him, "I'm going to get Lot out and uh we're going to destroy the cities." And Abraham's like, "Well, if you got 50 righteous people, would you still destroy it?" God said, "No." He says, "How about 30, 20, 10?" He said, "No every time until he got to 10." So there is a level. So the rapture is going to take out all the righteous people because we're not appointed to his wrath. Simple as that. If you notice, we're not preaching. We're not doing any. There is no activity of the body of Christ in the seven-year time period of God's wrath. There are resurrections. And a resurrection, by the way, is different than a rapture. Rapture, Paul describes it in 2 Corinthians 15 or 1 Corinthians 15, excuse me. You can go read these scriptures. I wasn't going to go here, but for a moment, I will. That's for the living. He describes it for the people who are alive. They change in the twinkling of an eye. The resurrection in the middle of the tribulation is when the two witnesses die and they come up to heaven three and a half days after their death. The end of the tribulation or the end of the seven-year time period of God's wrath. Got to get my terminology correct if I want to preach on that. This that is another resurrection. They resurrect the martyrs. What's a martyr? A person who died who's dead for what he believes in in this case for Jesus. So those are resurrections. The rapture. So this scripture that we just read is talking about the rapture and that is that event. It happens on the day of the Lord. Okay. Now let's continue on. Again, that hasn't happened yet. Prophecy that's coming hasn't happened yet. Verse 34. Surely I say to you, this generation will by no means pass away till all these things take place. Pause. This includes the abomination of desolation. I know that there are folks who have who trouble with this because they think, okay, well, the rapture has to take place and this generation cannot pass away, which means we'll be here through this. They get into that. And no, that's not what this means. It means that this generation will not pass away. Well, how many are in a generation? I'm going to tell you right now, people who are my age, this is my generation we're talking about, by the way, and if there are Jewish people my age who will be here when the abomination of desolation take place, it's a true statement. that generation shall not pass away because they will be alive when that happens. So, I promise you, they will be alive up to that point. For the rest of us who have nothing to do with that, we're either raptured up or you are an unbeliever and you made it into that seven-year time period and you are under persecution. In fact, you're probably dead. A lot of pe so many people are going to die during the seven-year tribulation that man will be finer than for gold. And you can go read the scripture on that. Search O for gold and you will find it. But I want you to see this. This generation will not pass away. So all these things that we saw is for us, you and me, today. So now we know this is happening in our lifetime. So we saw all these scriptures get fulfilled. Now we're at the point where we're seeing scripture not fulfilled yet. We haven't seen that great earthquake. We haven't seen the sun go dark. We haven't seen the moon moon turn to red. And we haven't seen the sign of the son of man coming from the east to the west like lightning. That hasn't happened. We haven't seen the angels blow the trumpet and come in and gather the elect from the four corners of the earth. We haven't seen that. Now look at what else he says. Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will by no means pass away. What does that mean? And where is that coming from? Because see, there's going to be a new heaven and a new earth as taught in Revelation. You can go read that. I want you to read it. But I want you to see what the next scripture says. But conjunction, but of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, but my father only. Wait a minute. You mean to tell me but of the day that heaven and earth passes away, nobody knows except God? Wait, I thought we were talking about the rapture. Well, we we are. We're going to get to that. You're going to see it how he adds that into it. But he is also talking about when heaven and earth passes away. Heaven and earth doesn't pass away till the end of the seven-year time period. Actually, no, I go further than that. It goes after the thousand-y year millennium because they're going to there's a thousand years that the people come back in the earth. The martyrs are are um uh resurrected and given their body. That is considered the first resurrection. You go read this in Revelation. They will be ruling the people still living on the earth and that are now repopulating the earth for this thousand years. That is what this So now here heaven and earth will pass away. That's not till after then. So he added this lid in and he puts it right in front of but of that day. No one knows the but of that day when heaven and earth passes away. No one knows the day nor the hour. But then God Jesus takes that and he let's continue reading it. This is awesome. But my father only verse 37. But as the days of Noah were, so also will the coming of the son of man be. For as in the days before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying, and giving him marriage until the day that Noah entered the ark and did not know until the flood came and took them all away.

EVIDENCE SUPPORTING CREATION The objective of this message is to provide biblical and scientific evidence that supports creation as revealed in the Word of God, while exposing the deceptions of evolution and showing how history and prophecy are deeply connected. The message seeks to strengthen believers’ faith by demonstrating that Scripture aligns with true science and prepares them to discern current and future events in light of God’s Word. < Back EVIDENCE SUPPORTING CREATION Minister Lisa Kane February 6, 2022 Objective: The objective of this message is to provide biblical and scientific evidence that supports creation as revealed in the Word of God, while exposing the deceptions of evolution and showing how history and prophecy are deeply connected. The message seeks to strengthen believers’ faith by demonstrating that Scripture aligns with true science and prepares them to discern current and future events in light of God’s Word. Synopsis: In this teaching, Lisa Kane presents a compelling case for creation, using both Scripture and scientific studies to refute evolution. Beginning with Matthew 24:37, she highlights Jesus’ reference to the “days of Noah,” showing that to understand future prophecy, we must look to the past. She explains that man was uniquely created in the image of God (Genesis 1:26–28), distinct from animals and angels, endowed with creativity, dominion, and purpose. Drawing on Psalm 139, Lisa emphasizes that each life is fearfully and wonderfully made, with days ordained by God from conception. She contrasts this truth with scientific attempts to validate evolution—such as fruit fly and bacterial experiments—that consistently fail to produce new species, proving that macroevolution is impossible. She further shows that manipulation of DNA and failed experiments reflect biblical accounts of the corruption of creation during Noah’s time, including the existence of giants. Lisa connects archaeological discoveries, outside writings such as the book of Enoch, and biblical passages to reveal how demonic deception has sought to distort creation throughout history. She explains that the global flood is both biblically and scientifically supported, narrowing humanity’s lineage to Noah’s family, aligning with DNA evidence. The message culminates in a prophetic outlook, reminding believers that just as in Noah’s day, deception will abound in the last days. She urges listeners to see how false scientific claims prepare the world for end-time deception, while the truth of Scripture remains firm. Finally, Lisa calls listeners to faith in Jesus Christ, offering a prayer of salvation, and encourages them to trust God’s Word over the shifting theories of man. Inspired Teaching: Hello and welcome to the House of Faith Ministries. I'm Lisa Kane and I'm recording this on Sunday, February 6, 2022. This message is called Evidence Supporting Creation. Let's open up in a word of prayer. Father God, we lift up this word to you and just ask for your anointing and favor on it. Ask that we receive and believe and walk with it and give you the glory, the honor, and praise and strength. In the glorious name of Jesus, we pray. Amen. Amen. All right, let's go to our opening scripture here. Uh you're going to find this uh a very interesting and different type of message here. Matthew 24:37. But as the days of Noah were, so also will the son will the coming of the son of man be. This message is going to be a little bit different. It's going to be more of a teaching than anything. Uh but I want you to understand this. I had alluded to making a comment in my last teaching that um I was going to talk a little bit more about evolution. I never got to it. It's a lot. So, we're gonna show you the support here in creation and we're going to uh help you understand that the science out there actually supports what the Bible says and not what man is saying. Okay. So, Matthew 24. So, uh if you take a look at that scripture in the context of chapter 24, chapter 24 is prophetic. Everything about it is talking about the future. And in fact, if you're out there and observant, you will see that it's talking about us today. And I mean, it's spot on. So, we are in the time that Matthew spoke of in Matthew 24. But here is something very interesting. Look at this scripture. This is right in the middle of this prophetic chapter. He says, "It'll be like the days of Noah, but as the days of Noah were, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be." That's fascinating because now he's saying, "Okay, you've got something to compare this to in the past." In other words, if you want to understand the future prophecy, you need to go and understand the past. So there's a lot of stuff that went on with the past that we have a demonic activity trying its hardest to deceive us. So I'm going to show you some evidence that I hope will help you and convince you to have a little faith in the creation that well Jesus did because he's the word. He's the spoken word. And I want to show you that evidence so that um you can see what the deception is all about. Right. Okay, so let's take a look at this next set of scriptures here. This is in Genesis 1:es 26-28. Then God said, "Let us make man in our image, according to our likeness. Let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth." So God created man in his own image, in the image of God. He created him. Male and female he created them. Then God blessed them. And God said to them, "Be fruitful and multiply. Fill the earth and subdue it. Have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over every living thing that moves on the earth." Okay, there's a lot of information there. We are the only creature in the universe. Yes, I can boldly say that statement based on scripture. We're the only creature in the universe made in the image of God. One, it's because we can create things. We're very creative individuals. We're creative as a country nation. We're creative. And as such, we also give birth to new souls, new creative people. The angels cannot do that. Um, animals when they're born or they give birth to their offspring. If you take a look at an animal, watch a cat playing and let's say they see the cell phone. They acknowledge a cell phone, they touch it, but there is no cognitiveness there that will help them understand what that cell phone is. They don't have that ability unlike a child being b uh birth born from a parent. Then uh then you can see that the child starts to learn and starts to think outside the box and get very creative and we've got some very interesting creative people in this world but we're made in the image of God. Now we also were ranked in that statement and and if you recall my last teaching chapter one was all about the planning phase. So this wasn't the implementation of getting the world started. This was the planning phase and God planned us in rank already before he even had Adam in the garden. Okay, you can continue and read chapter 2. You can go to my last message and elaborate further on there. And that ranking is very important. I want you to see this next scripture here in Psalm 85. Uh God is talking about man. Says, "For you have made him a little lower than the angels and you have crowned him with glory and honor a little lower than the angels." So God made the heavens and the earth. This is uh Genesis 1:1. He made the heavens and the earth and everything he made in heaven. We don't know everything that he made in heaven. He didn't discuss it all in his scriptures. We know some things and some things are very interesting. We know angels exist. We've had visitations from angel angels and the word angel means messenger. So that's where that terminology comes from. But it doesn't mean it applies to everything there. It just means that there are other creatures there. And if you read Ezekiel, there's some very interesting uh creatures in heaven. So when God made man, he made him in his image. So I'm going to show you what he did. Now look at this scripture here further in in Psalms. This is very interesting. This is Psalm 139. We're going to read verses 13- 16. For you formed my inward parts. You covered me in my mother's womb. I will praise you for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Marvelous are your works. And that my soul knows very well. And that my soul knows very well. My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in secret and skillfully rotten the lowest parts of the earth. Your eyes saw my substance being yet unformed. And in your book they all were written the days fashioned for me when as yet there were none of them. You know you're seeing here very carefully that God interjected right here. Your soul knows the truth. Okay. So he is saying that when the sperm met the egg, a soul was born. That soul that life came into being and that life is what God already had numbered in days. He already knew who you were. He knew your name. He knew it even before then. And even so, he gave us a will if you go into New Testament that it can adjust and adapt. read um Hezekiah. King Hezekiah had a an interesting thing where God extended his life for 15 years. My guess is he already knew that at this time. So, you can see that we're made interesting and that we already know what's going on. So, what I want to do now is I want to show you some evidence in the scientific community that shows us why creation is fact versus evolution. Now, the reason I'm I'm going after evolution is because evolution is being forced down our education system. Uh, in normal media, Big Bang Theory is an example. Um, Sheldon says it's a fact. it. It's not a fact. It hasn't been proven at all. In fact, they can't prove it. I'm going to read you some interesting stuff here. We're going to talk about bacteria and we're going to talk about fruit flies and you're going to see how scientists can't prove it, but they've been trying and they're not telling you. This is fascinating stuff. Watch this. So, I'm going to put these links down when I upload the video on the website so you can go see these on your own. But this is a section of this article and uh uh you can see theory and reality in involved with evolution and debunking debunking it. But here it is. It's talking about bacteria. It says there are many mutations. In fact, evolution say that smaller organisms have a faster mutation rate than larger ones. But they never turn into anything new. They always remain bacteria. Fruit flies are much more complex than an a complex single cell bacteria. Scientists like to study them because a generation from egg to adult takes only nine days. So in a lab, fruit flies are studied under every conceivable condition. There's much variation in fruit flies. There are many mutations, but they never turn into anything new. They always remain fruit flies. Many years of study, countless generations of bacteria and fruit flies all over the world shows that evolution is not happening today. Okay. So, let me define evolution here because I think that's absolutely an imperative fact that you need to know in order to understand what they're trying to to say and do here. You have what's called micro evolution. Micro has to do with breeding two different cats together and coming up with a third breed. That is possible. We see different cats every day. We see different dogs, different horses. That is possible. That is micro evolution is what it's termed as. Then there's macroeolution. Macro evolution has to do with taking, let's say, a dog and turning them into a horse. That will never happen. You're changing the DNA of that dog into another species. It doesn't happen. It cannot happen. An ape can never turn into a human being. So what they decided to do to try to test the theory is they tried to use bacteria and because and that's a single cell organism but they thought they could try to get it to turn into something completely different and they couldn't do it. Same with fruit flies. Fruit flies have an interesting only nine days. So they were able to manipulate the fruit flies and yet they still couldn't get it to work. Now, they can manipulate things such as like a cow's milk and things of this. So, I I want you to see something more interesting here. So, they did a 35 year experime experime experiment by evolution show how things really work. Instead of waiting for the natural selection, they the researchers force selection on hundreds of generations of fruit flies. So, I'm going to elaborate further here because I really want you to see this. They use variation to breed fruit flies that develop from egg to adult 20% faster than normal. But as usual, when breeding plants and animals, there was a downside. In this case, the fruit flies weighed less, live shorter lives, and were less resistant to starvation. There were many mutations, but none caught on, and the experiment ran into limits of variations. They wrote that forward experimental evolution can often be completely reversed with these populations. Despite the decades of sustained selection in relatively small sexually reproducing laboratory populations, selection did not lead to the fixation of newly arising unconditionally advantageous alles. The probability of fixation in wild population should be even lower than its likelihood in these experiments. You can see Molly Burke and and her group of people came up to that conclusion. And look at this. What evolutionists do not want you to know is that there are strict limitations to variation that are never crossed. something every breeder of animals or plants is aware of. Whenever variation is pushed to extremes by selective breeding, like to get the most milk from cows, the most sugar from beets, bristles on fruit flies or any other characteristics, the line becomes sterile and dies out. They cannot keep it sustained. And that is fascinating because I want you to see something. The line becomes sterile and dies out. Oh, this goes biblical. There is actually biblical stuff that supports exactly what they're doing and why it won't work. This you got to see. Let's go to Genesis. I think this is the most fascinating stuff. You guys got to see this. Genesis chapter 6. I'm going to read verses 1-4. Now it came to pass when men began to multiply in the face of the earth and daughters were born to them that the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were beautiful and they took wives for themselves all of whom they chose. And the Lord said, "My spirit shall not strive with man forever, for he is indeed flesh. Yet his day shall be 120 years. There were giants on the earth in those days, and also afterward when the sons of God came into the daughters of men, and they bore children to them. Those were the mighty men of who? Of old men of renown." Okay. the Bible in Genesis, uh, when Moses wrote that, he kept it short and concise. God didn't really want us to elaborate on this, but as you can see, Jesus says it'll be like the days of Noah. So, you've got the DNA manipulation and things like that. And you see that happening today with our scientists. Look at what they were trying to do to prove evolution with the fruit flies and uh getting more milk, more beads, but they couldn't keep the line going. Well, the giants, do you see any giants today? Now, they call them they call it a a a gigantism where the growth hormone just keeps on going. Um, Andre the giant, they called him that. Uh, he was over seven feet tall. I don't think he was eight, nine. Anyway, he was tall. Sorry, I don't remember exactly what, but you can look that up for yourself. But, um, what happened? Okay. So, at Noah's flood, God decided to end mankind. They were corrupt. And he he let eight people survive. If you go into every culture, every beginning of every culture, which started right after the flood, they all say something about a flood and something about eight people surviving. And they even get the name of Noah in there in most cases. Fascinating. That's in written history. So, the Bible says it, written history says it. Okay. So, the flood and they've got tests now that are showing that there was a huge water event that did take place on the earth. So, they're showing this. say even if you go to the Ark Encounter and you watch the scientists there give their um uh insight of their area of expertise you especially the DNA it they go back in history with the DNA and it bottlenecks down to eight people the flood scientifically happened it was proven so now the flood occurred I I don't know the exact number of years but probably about 1800 years or so after creation. So there's something that happened though in that time frame when the earth began to populate and you can see there were giants in the land at this time. Where did the giants come from? Because God made us perfect. What happened here? So it doesn't elaborate in the Bible, but you can go and look at actually several outside sources. Now remember the Bible is for your spiritual growth. But don't let it limit yourself in the knowledge that you need to understand what happened to the world. Because as you can see, evolution is not happening. And I understand some preachers and teachers are telling you that, well, we can squeeze evolution into creation and figure out a way to make it work. No, no, no. That's not how it work. God made us in his image. Read how Adam was made. He formed him from the uh the dust of the earth. So that is not evolution. So we start with a full grown man, full adult, full grown female. She's taken from the rib of Adam. So the universe was fully mature at the time Adam was made. This was all made at one time over six days. And of course that was the planning phase and then God implemented it. Understand how that works? So now if evolution isn't your it it doesn't support what history was you have to go look at these outside sources. So the book of Enoch, the book of Jasher, uh some parts of the book of giants I think still exist. These are areas you should go take a look at. Look at Greek mythology. Look at the Egyptian hieroglyphs and you've got a man's head on an animal's body. An animal's head on a man's body. Where do you think they came up with this? Do you think they made that up and it was satirical? Nah. No. This stuff had a root to it and there's some truth to it. It is difficult to believe. I understand that. But I want you to understand that when Enoch talks about um these watchers that come down to the earth, there's 200 of them. He comes, they come down and they take wives for themselves and have offspring. Enoch elaborates on what happens to them. It's a fascinating story to read. Uh that so you've got this watch and remember what I said, God made the heavenly realm. We don't know all the beings that were made. We do know that angels can come down and they can shapeshift. They adapt and look like man. You don't even know that you have an angel around you or that you're talking to an angel. You don't know that. So what happens is you've got these elements in the heavenly realm that we don't know anything about. So here's what happens. So these angels or watchers because that's what Enoch called them. Uh I know a lot of theologians try to call them angels. I don't know that they're actually angels. The word angel means messengers. So what are they? Don't know. But they took human wives and they decided to mix the human line up with their DNA. And that's what I'm trying to show you. They're the first ones to do what they tried to do that the scientists are trying to do today. Did Jesus say it' be like the days of Noah? There you go. Okay. So, what they did decide to do. So, they had offspring. They were able to bear children, but they were huge. Enoch describes the 200 watchers as being 3,000 L's tall. um using the ancient 18 in cubit or whatever. They estimate that to be like a 40 foot um um 40story building so 400t tall. I don't know how true that is. I do know that when the spies were sent out because the Bible talks about giants throughout history. The spies were sent out they came back saying we were like grasshoppers to them. So there is biblical evidence that is showing that giants existed. Okay. So what happened though in the book of Enoch is that it God cursed that line. I want you to understand this. So that first generation they were not allowed to live past 500 years. There was a manipulation with the DNA there that they did that God said we have to put a stop to this. Now that line died. Now they had children too. They survived the flood. The the DNA survived the flood. So you hear about David and Goliath. You hear about King Gog. You've got all of these things that took place that there were still giants in the land and they were real. This is the Bible telling you that they were real. Now, I know that a lot of you are saying, "Well, that's the Bible and it's just trying to support itself." You know, I'm going to show you something very interesting here that's going to surprise you. Again, this is demonic activity behind the scenes for multiple generations, not wanting this evidence to come out. But look at this. There's a website out there list the top 10 giant discoveries in North America. Now, this is just North America, but look at those purple little dots here. That's a map of giants report giant reports that they found buried in in one way one area or another burial mounds is what they were finding them and this gentleman here or female I don't know who this is Se Hall made this map so that's a lot of giants bones that they found over the last 200 250 years here in North America alone counting uh on the other side of the pond So, do you think giants existed? So, what I'm trying to say is at the time before the flood, we know the flood happened scientifically. We know that the giant line was cursed. We know that we don't see hardly any giants today. And what we do see of them would be about seven feet tall. Uh maybe I I think the uh Chinese guy was the basketball player. I don't have that information from in front of me. I was just remembering I think he was eight feet tall but it's rare to see. Okay, that is a rare thing. The line was cursed. Now that's not to say he was cursed. You know, he could believe in God and call on his name because I truly believe and I have been saying this in multiple messages. The moment you become a believer in Christ, your DNA changes. I absolutely believe that and I would love to see a scientist be able to prove that. Amen. So, I'm just trying to tell you that this information happened in the past and that it's true, which means what does that actually mean? Let's define that for just a moment here. So, if evolution isn't true, evolution, if you had that as a belief and it was a belief, that meant you weren't responsible for your sin. Unfortunately, because that can't be proven and they're never going to prove it. And you saw how many years they've been trying. Uh that was just one article talking about 35 year experiment. There have been hund there's there's been scientists that have been trying this since Darwin's day. So we're looking at a good 110 years that they've been trying to prove evolution works. They're finding that they cannot prove it. It isn't. In fact, they've proven that it can't happen is really what is happened here. So that means you have to go back to creation. You have to go to my last message and look and see what happened to the fall of man. man became cursed that we're still living under those curses today. Three of them. Eve was cursed. Satan was cursed. And the earth was cursed. Satan was cursed to a creeping crawling thing. And remember at the beginning of this message, I so told you man was ranked. We're above Satan now. He gets below our feet. We have the authority over him. He can't do anything beyond whatever we tell him to do. If you're having problems with the devil, you might want to check out what you've been speaking. Check out your mouth. see what you're saying. So I am trying to tell you that the past is real. So it'll be like the days of Noah. Okay? You saw what happened. Only eight people survived. So that means look at Revelation now and you're going to sit down and read the book of Revelation. It's fascinating. There's still a seven-year period that God needs to deal with Israel. Now, the seven-year period has nothing to do with the believers, the church, the gentile believers, but it does have to do with the Israelites. They need to go through that last 7-year period. Now, that means the church is going to be taken out before that there is a rapture that is going to happen. This is prophetic. All of this is future. So, again, in order to understand the future, you had to understand the past. So now you know how man was made. Now you know that he was cursed. And you now know that there's scientific evidence to support those stories. So they're now history. It's not a story. It's historical fact. Now you can go look at Revelation and see what's going to happen. And now I'm going to show you something that is going to throw science right out the window. You got to understand God works. And God can do anything. God is omnipotent. When he can say, "Let there be light and there's light." He can do anything. Watch what he does here in Revelation. This is fascinating. Revelation 6:14-17. Then the sky receded as a scroll when it is rolled up, and every mountain and island was moved out of its place. and the kings of the earth, the great men, the rich men, the commanders, the mighty men, every slave and every man free and every free man hid themselves in the caves and in the rocks of the mountains, and said to the mountains and rocks, "Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him who sits on the throne and from the wrath of the lamb, for the great day of his wrath has come. And who is able to stand?" Okay, go back to that. Watch this. Uh then the sky receded as a scroll when it is rolled up. Let's throw physics right out the window. You know, today when we stand out here and we look at the sky, I'm looking out my window here off to my left and you see the blue sky during the day or cloudy sky or whatever, but you see that there is kind of um a covering, a firmament that covers and keeps us protected. So apparently God's going to scroll that up, put it back in his storage bin in his garage or his work shop, wherever that may be, and he's going to look down at man, and man is still going to be standing there, still going to be breathing, not going to fall off the earth, and they're going to look up, and they're going to see God. And everyone's going to see God all at one time. And these are the people that are left here during this time. They're going to see that and they're going to run into the caves and try to hide and tell the caves to fall on them. Now, I'm a believer in Christ. I trust in my God. Yeah, if I was here for something like that, I'd be scared. In fact, I'd probably faint. And I don't think you can die during that time. It depends on the timing. There's a fivemon period you can't die. And I don't have all that scripture in front of me. Read it. Get in there and read it. you you you will get more information out of you reading it with the Holy Spirit than any teacher can teach it to you. Okay? But anyways, this what I'm trying to prove here and show you is that science goes right out the window when you're standing there looking up to an omnipotent being left here on the earth. Now, as a believer in Christ, I believe I'm going to already be up in the rapture because I believe in Christ and he's going to have me next to him. So, I won't have to go through that fear. But those that don't believe are going to be looking at that going, "Oh, and and how many rich people have been trying to create underground caves, homes in their caves so that they can be safe in case of a major apocalyptic event." Boy, talking today is fun. So, that is what I'm trying to say is that these people are going to be doing that. So now you have to ask yourself what is going on because you're being deceived with the media and the scientific communities are telling you these things so that you can be deceived so that when you see some type of event like that, you may think it's like an alien attacking you. It's called a great deception and it's coming. It's been prophesied right after that. But I do believe the horses come out that have scorpion tails and they sting. It's going to look like one of those aliens from Aliens and the predators and they're going to be running around stinging people on the So what do you think people are going to think? Aliens from another planet because this has been a deception that they the the demonic activity behind things has been pushing now for multiple generations. So you have to ask yourself, well, what is true? What is fact? So what I just presented to you in a scientific nature tells you there's scientific proof that supports the Bible which means you need to go back to the Bible. You need to look at the ancient past and then you got to look at the future prophecy. Amen. So now the question is why? Why is this going on? I let's let's look what Jesus did. I clicked the wrong button. It's talking wrong button. Here we go again. So John 3:17, for God did not send his son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through him might be saved. So here, when the fall of man happened, God says, "I'm not losing one. I'm going after them." And he, oh, go watch my last message. It was awesome to see how God redeemed us. Oh, that is so incredible that we've been redeemed for those who want to believe and those who want to be saved. And it takes a simple prayer of confession. Look, Romans, I did not change the scriptures. My humble apologies. Romans 10:9 that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. All it takes is that prayer and saying, "Okay, I'm I'm understanding there's something major going on because Matthew 24 is talking about some specific things of great earthquakes and pestilences and we're see wars, rumors of wars. Look at the Ukraine Russia thing going on. It's a rumor and you got military things moving around. This stuff is happening and we're the generation watching it." And then he does say that this generation shall not pass away. That's you and me, friend. So, and then in the midst of all that, he says, you got to go understand the past so you can understand the future. So, you can see the elements all connected here and why the gospel of John is so important because he tells you who Jesus is, who he was in the beginning, what he did at the time he walked on the earth, and how we're redeemed today by the simple confession of his word. Hallelujah. Oh, this makes me so excited. Okay, let us say a simple prayer of confession because also this is going to help open your mind to see these things because it takes a step of faith. I get that. You can't see Jesus. It's hard to believe and especially when you know there's been so many hoaxes in relation to giants and whatnot. You know, pull that aside for just a moment. Look at what they can't prove with evolution. Look at what they did prove in the scientific fact that the flood occurred and how many cultures spoke about the flood. Do some research. Go figure it out. But let's say this prayer first because I think it's going to help open up your mind so that you have a better understanding because it does take a leap of faith. And when you do your leap of faith, God will be with you and he will move with you. Amen. So repeat this after me. Dear Jesus, I ask you to forgive me of my sins. come into my heart and be my Lord and Savior and open up my mind and help me believe your word in Jesus' name. Amen. And that scripture confess and be saved is not just saved for salvation, but it's saved from everything. Soon as you say, Jesus, you're Lord of cancer, you're Lord of COVID, you're Lord of my mind being attacked by this world. Soon as you make him lord over that, that stuff gets subdued. And now you have Jesus working in your mind, providing you the comfort and the peace. Because think of it this way there there's a parable. I wish I had this in front of me. I don't. Again, do your research. Uh the wheats and the tears. So in other words, a believer in Christ still deals with the same thing a non-believer in Christ deals with. We all deal with tornadoes, earthquakes, cold, hot. The difference between a believer and a non-believer is that the believer says, "God's in control. I trust in him and I give him the glory." Amen. Amen. Oh, I hope you have uh received something new from this. And I do hope that you're seeing the connection of the beginning of the scriptures to the end of the scriptures and how they come together. I wish I can give you more information. I really truly do. But I'm already at 33 minutes. So, I want to bless you and tell you that I wish you the best. Get with the Holy Spirit. Start praying. Get into the scriptures. Read it and do your homework. And I do recommend not using Google to do your homework with. Um, you might want to try Duck Duck. Go or something of that nature. We The enemy has been attacking us for generations and it's going to continue and it's only going to get worse, you know. But you're a believer. And as a believer in Christ, God comes first. And you will get your message because the Holy Spirit will teach it to you. Amen. God bless you and I will see you in the next video. Bye-bye. Previous Next Home

A CHRISTIANS TRANSFORMATION The objective of this teaching is to reveal the biblical process of a Christian’s transformation—from redemption through Christ, to renewal in the Spirit, to active participation in God’s harvest. By examining Old Testament prophecies and their fulfillment in the New Testament, believers are encouraged to dwell in the secret place of God, be filled with the bread of life, oil of the Spirit, and new wine of renewal, so they may live transformed lives and bear fruit as the bride of Christ. < Back A CHRISTIANS TRANSFORMATION Minister Lisa Kane February 4, 2023 Objective: The objective of this teaching is to reveal the biblical process of a Christian’s transformation—from redemption through Christ, to renewal in the Spirit, to active participation in God’s harvest. By examining Old Testament prophecies and their fulfillment in the New Testament, believers are encouraged to dwell in the secret place of God, be filled with the bread of life, oil of the Spirit, and new wine of renewal, so they may live transformed lives and bear fruit as the bride of Christ. Synopsis: This message explores the journey of a Christian’s transformation as foretold by the prophets Jeremiah, Hosea, and Isaiah, and confirmed in the New Testament writings. It begins with the ransom Christ paid for His bride and the promised joy, abundance, and satisfaction for God’s people. Using the imagery of grain (the bread of life), oil (the Spirit’s anointing), and new wine (renewal and revival), the teaching outlines the essential steps of growth in Christ: feeding on God’s Word, dwelling in His presence, and embracing newness of life. Believers are reminded of the necessity of the secret place with God (Psalm 91), where oil and strength are replenished, questions are answered, and intimacy with the Lord is deepened. The parable of the virgins highlights the importance of keeping spiritual oil filled, while Isaiah and Hosea reveal both the blessings of obedience and the consequences of rejecting God’s call. The transformation continues as Christians become ambassadors of reconciliation (2 Corinthians 5), laborers in the harvest (John 4), and part of the Spirit-filled cluster of fruit (Isaiah 65). Practical application is emphasized—spending time in prayer, Scripture, and personal communion with God in order to live righteously, evangelize effectively, and be ready for Christ’s return. The message concludes by affirming that transformation is not just for eternity but begins now: “If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation” (2 Corinthians 5:17). Living in the secret place empowers believers to walk in liberty, reflect God’s glory, and participate in the great harvest as God pours out His Spirit in these last days (Joel 2). Inspired Teaching: Hello and welcome to the House of Faith Ministries. I'm Lisa Kane. I'm recording this on Saturday, February 4th, 2023. And this message is called a Christian's transformation. Oh, let's open up in a word of prayer. Father God, we bless this word. We thank you for your blessing and your anointing on it. We thank you for opening our ears to hear, our eyes to see, our hearts to receive, and that we can live and walk under wisdom, knowledge, and understanding through the Holy Spirit. so that we can apply your living word to our lives daily in every moment of every day and be ready for the harvest that is already here so that we can evangelize and reap and sew your fruit. Father God, in the name of Jesus we pray. Thank you, Lord. Amen. Oh, you're going to love this message. This message is going to take some old prophecies and it's going to show you the result of what a Christian will be. Now, we have to take measures to get to be that Christian. And you're going to see that walk in here. You're going to see the transformation take place. So, we're going to start with Old Testament pro prophecy and then we're going to move into the New Testament. But this is so powerful. It's going to change you if you choose to take these steps. So, let's go to our opening scripture here in Jeremiah. We're in Jeremiah 31 11-14. For the Lord has redeemed Jacob and ransomed him from the hand of one stronger than he. I'm going pause here for a moment. I want you to see ransom. Jesus paid the ransom for you and I. Amen. So, this is talking about the bride of Christ. This is talking about Christianity. Now, the nation of Israel will have that opportunity and we're all going to be living together in that wonderful peace and eternity that we're going to have. uh there's that seven-year tribulation period, then you have the thousand-y year reign, and then you have the new Jerusalem. And we're going to be living in that new Jerusalem. So, here you've you've got Jeremiah, and we're going to read Hosea here in a moment. And they're talking about a celebration, a joy. What does that sound like? Our feast or a wedding uh reception that we're going to have when we come into the presence of the Lord during this time. So this is talking about the bride of Christ and those that put Jesus as the son of God. So you're going to see what this is applying to. Nation of Israel missed when they crucified Jesus, which they needed to. The Lord handled all that. He took care of it. But they're going to catch it here in the end at the midway of the seven-year tribulation. They will catch it, and they're going to be right there with us. So let's take a look. Let's continue to read on here. Verse 12. Therefore they shall come and sing in the height of Zion, streaming to the goodness of the Lord for wheat and new wine and oil for the young of the flock and the herd. Their souls shall be like a well-watered garden, and they shall sorrow no more at all. They then shall the virgin rejoice in the dance, and the young men and the old together. Notice the key word then. For I will turn their mourning to joy, will comfort them and make them rejoice rather than sorrow. I will satiate the soul of the priests with abundance, and my people shall be satisfied with my goodness, says the Lord. Saturate the soul of the priests. Remember, we're are priests. I've been teaching on that. So, our souls are going to be saturated here. We're going to be and and I don't know if you've ever seen a beautiful garden that is well watered but I am telling you right now when you look at one of those it is incredible to see the effort that they put in here but it's so peaceful when you look at it and look at it says their souls shall be like a well-watered garden. So this is talking about the end result of being a Christian whether you're in the human form still alive on this planet or you're in the presence of the Lord but we're well satisfied. Now I take it as here and now because he says uh let's go back to that scripture. He says then look at this then shall the virgin rejoice in the dance and the young men and the old together for I will turn their mourning to joy. There is no mourning in heaven. So this is talking about our earthly presence here and he's talking about the bride of Christ. Now there is something key here I want you to see because this is very very very important. You know, I could teach for months on just these scriptures alone in Hosea. We'll get to that in a moment. But look, it says for wheat and new wine and oil. Okay. So, let's look at this for a minute because there are three ingredients here that goes with the Christian's walk. Okay? And yes, I'm taking it from the Old Testament. We'll see it in the New Testament. So, you got the wheat or the grain, and that is the bread of life. Jesus is the bread of life. So we grab onto him and we fill up on the bread of life. Now you are also going to have the new wine and the oil. Now let's talk about the oil for a moment. I'll get to the new wine because that's what I want to focus on with this. The oil is when you spend time in the presence of the Lord. If you take a look at Solomon's temple or you look at when Moses spent time with God on the mountain, Moses shined. He he had such a shine they had to put a veil over his face. The temple nobody could enter it. They would die because of the shikina glory that emanated from it. So when you enter the presence of the Lord now in your flesh because remember the temple uh the the veil was torn in two at the temple. We get to go to Jesus directly which means we feed off of his living word which is the bread of life. And then that's the Christian. And then you have the oil. You fill up on the oil when you're in his presence. Well, how do you get that oil when you're in his presence? And remember, the oil is the numa, the power, the spirit that moves forward for us. You see, when you dwell in the secret place, I'm going to remind you of that scripture here in just a moment. You are filling up with the oil. Remember the the parable of the 10 virgins. They 50% had enough oil, 50% didn't have enough oil, but they were all Christians. So, how do you get enough oil so that you're on the right side? You spend time in the presence of the Lord. Let's go and look at that. Let's look. Psalm 91 says, "He who dwells in the secret place of the most high shall abide under the shadow of the almighty." This is where you get your oil. This is also where you're going to get your grain because it's a two-way conversation. You're reading the Bible and you're praying. And let me add a little step here. Write down your questions in a journal. Date it and just wait on the Lord. And I promise you, you'll have your answers within a few days and answers to tough questions. This is how I can come into the presence of the Lord because he's answered. He has satisfied my soul with those questions that how many people call Christians hypocrites because they have questions that we cannot answer because we are not being we're not apologetic to the word of God. We're not standing up and representing the word of God because we don't know. But when you spend time, you know. And then did you see that? He says, "And then new wine for wheat and new wine and oil." Now there's something else. We have seen the grain because those of us that are dwelling in the secret place, we're reading our word and we're being sustained by the bread of life. And those of us that are spending get the oil, too. Because now we're seeing how that numa moves that in fact when you spend time in the word of God, you have you're preparing to go to battle. When you go to church or you go to the grocery market, wherever you're going in your daily routine, you have the power of the Holy Spirit moving ahead of you. And it shows and represents that because you're when you're filling up your cup with oil, it bubble bubbles out. It boils out and it falls on people around them and they know it. They sense it. But then there's the new wine. First of all, new wine is not fermented. Hasn't fermented yet because you got to put the wine in a new wine skin so it can ferment. That means you got to take off the old and put on something new. So, we need to be doing that. And I tell you, if we were doing that, we'd already be in our revival, the outpouring of the Holy Spirit. We're going to be talking about that because that is the end result of all of this. Let's go to Hosea now. Let's continue and look at it from Hosea's perspective. Same type of prophecy here. This is Hosea chapter 2. We're looking at verses 2 uh 20- 23. I will betro you to me in faithfulness, and you shall know the Lord. What? When Romans 10:9 says that if you confess Jesus Lord, you confess him with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and you believe in your heart that God has raised him from the dead because you're talking to you the spirit. You cannot see it. That's an act of faith. So that moment that you speak that word, look at that. You become betrothed to God and it's through faithfulness. You have to be in faith to do it because you cannot see God when you're talking to him. So you see this is about the Christian. This is the bride of Christ. Look at how Hosea is bringing this out. God is very he's clear in identifying who this belongs to. Verse 21. It shall come to pass in that day that I will answer, says the Lord, and I will answer the heavens and they shall answer the earth. The earth shall answer with grain, with new wine, and with oil. shall answer Jezrael. Then I will sow her for myself in the earth, and I will have mercy on her who had not obtained mercy. Then I will say to those who were not my people, you are my people, and they shall say, "You are my God." I'm going to tell you right now, let me in the past few years, my prayer has changed. And I say this multiple times throughout the day. I always say, "Lord, you are my God, my King, my Lord, and my Savior. I belong to you and you belong to me." Did you know I was saying that before I even knew this scripture existed? That is how the Holy Spirit works. So, I'm a walking testimony to the fulfillment of that prophecy here. Please understand that you can be doing that and you should be doing that because as you spend more time with the Lord, you're saying you are my God because look at you are taking care of me. I mean, you see him move. You see the spirit move around you. Things that shouldn't have happened happen that were good that blessed you. And you're just sitting there going, "Wow, Lord, how'd you do that?" Isn't that just absolutely incredible? This is how the Lord works. Now, look at this. I want you to see this. I will enter the heavens and they shall answer earth. Now, look at here. How our earth answering in the earth. We're going to have new grain. So, not only are we going to have the bread of life and flour and wheat and all that that we need, which we do, even in these times where our economy is just out the window right now. You see, God still provides. He has blessed our household amazingly simply because I'm spending time in the secret place with the Lord, which you saw is Psalm 91:1. You choose. That's your action. You choose to do that. See, it's secret. When you go to church, that's not secret. Everybody can see you there. You see the difference? You got to spend time with God in the secret place. One, you get your oil. And two, he knows your name. You know his name. Now look at this. So now he's again talking about the grain, the new wine, and the oil. So now you can see how this Old Testament is telling you what you and I today are going to be like. You got to realize the word of God, you know, the whole action of the word of God that took place in history because this is true history. It happened to be written for you and I today. Paul didn't have the New Testament. He wrote it. Abraham didn't have a church to go to. He had to build it. Moses didn't have the five books of the Bible. He had to write them. Do you see now what when you say, "Okay, well, Jesus is the son of God and I acknowledge him because I hear it in the word of God, but I believe in faith." Now, you have the word of God because it happened in the past and you get to live it today. They lived for you and I today to have that word and it is being fulfilled. This is very, very powerful. Now, I'm going to show you Isaiah 65 because we're still in the Old Testament. Now, Isaiah is clearly telling you, you got a choice. And this is, remember, uh, when you're evangelizing and you're going to reap and sew, we're going to get into this here in just a bit. People have a choice. You choose God or you choose not God. So, and and they don't understand that, you know, they'll say something like, "Jesus is cool. He's a prophet. He's a great guy." That's not acknowledging he's the son of God. You know, even Israelites will say he he was a good pro prophet. He he you know, he did okay. But they'll tell you straight up, we're not looking for the son of God. We're looking for a man to be our Messiah. And they tell you that. So you can see how their vision, they have a veil over their eyes. You're going to see scripture related to that. But you can see now they there's a choice. Isaiah 65 tells you the consequences to the choice. Now remember, I am showing you what it's going to be like to be that Christian. We're the transformation that we're going to go through that we're going to be walking in this new wine. Watch this. So Isaiah is giving us two choices. So we're I'm going to take snippets from Isaiah 65:8. Thus says the Lord, as the new wine is found in the cluster and one says, do not destroy for a blessing is in it, so will I do for my servants sake that I may not destroy them all. Now I want you to see that. See the new wine? Now he's defining the new wine because how do you take off the old wine skin and put on a new wine skin? Did you notice that? Look at he says is found in the cluster. Oh, get this. Get this. I need you to get this. When you reap, not just sew, you're going to be sewing, too. But when someone becomes a believer under you, they're with you. They confess Jesus as the son of God and become a believer under your tutelage. Your branch just produced a grape of fruit on it. So you're that branch and now you've got fruit and is your responsibility to take that person in. Oh, I want you to see this church. See this Christian who's been a Christian for 50 years. Listen, when you bring that person into the church, you get them to start reading the Gospel of John. You get them to start writing down their uh their questions for God in a journal in their own quiet time because you're starting to teach him how to be in the secret place with the Lord. You get them to start talking with God on a daily basis because that's your responsibility. When people don't take up that responsibility, you can see it today. The evidence is there. What's the main person or personal type of person that comes after the church? It's people who got saved. They confess Jesus is Lord. But what happened? They got in the church and they put Christianity on such a high pedestal that we cannot meet their standard because they think now the whole church has to be godlike standard, but we're still human beings. But there's nobody there to tell them, "No, we're still working on it." There's nobody there to tell them, "Get into the word." And look at how people need to keep repenting. These people didn't do that. Wait, get in the word and start praying for them because they need your prayer. But no, instead they walk away from the church. They criticize the church. They call the church hypocrites. Those are your biggest voices are those people. And those are the people that somebody didn't take in. They probably became a Christian at a concert or something, but nobody stepped in to pull them in. Now, the Holy Spirit will work only as much as we're willing to give. So, you can see they already had a standard set uh an expectation and that expectation failed and they blamed it on the church, on God, and like God's not working on anybody. But I promise you, it takes us a step into the presence of the Lord. Now, of course, if you're going to teach somebody how to do that, don't you think you ought to be doing it? So, for you Christian who's been a Christian for 50 years, but you're not doing that. You're only going to church. Well, that's great for sustainment, but you have to understand when you go to church, you are going to church to do battle. you're not going to church to receive at that time. A lot of people think they go to church to receive and they're acting like that and they're taking it for receiving. In fact, what they do is they walk up to the door, they take off their cloak of distress. They take off whatever pain and suffering they have and they leave it at the door. They come in, they receive because see, they in their mind they're coming into the presence of the Lord. Fine. This is good stuff. But you never dealt with the cloak. And what happens? you leave, you pick it back up and you put it on and you wear it for the whole week. But when you enter into the presence of the Lord, Psalm 91:1, in the secret place in your home, you take it off and before you know it, you leave it off. Why? Because God already dealt with it. He dealt with you in that secret place and he built you up and now you get to represent him. So now he brings you into you because you spent time in that secret place. You built up your oil. Now when you come into church, you get to do battle. And the first thing you do is you pray for your church services coming up. Lord, I bless it. You see, now you speak the spoken word of God. I just taught on this a couple of messages about speaking your blessings or speaking your curses. You have a choice and you can see what that consequence is. But now I want you to see this new wine in this vine cluster. Look at what he says here. He says is found in the cluster. Now watch this. I'm going to get more into the scripture, but watch how this works. Imagine your branch has a cluster of fruit on it. Now all of that fruit is coming from the same branch. Jesus is our branch. Now what happens is as that Christian because we're spending time in that secret place we're producing the fruit we're a piece of fruit as well we hear the voice of the Holy Spirit and now the church this cluster operates under one the Holy Spirit no man no man there's a story oh I think it's in um Ukraine or some place out there they had um they had stopped Christianity so much so that you know they got rid of scriptures and what have you that even when they pass papers of where they were going to meet uh they caught on to that the guards did they got arrested beaten up what have you well people just started showing up there was no written paper they just started showing up and guess what other people showed up because the cluster together heard the Holy Spirit tell them where to go Now imagine when you're reaping and sewing, you are talking, you are evangelizing to people in the church or out on the streets, in the grocery store, wherever you may be. Sometimes you're sewing seeds. It could be just a simple smile, but because you're spending time in that secret place, you are now operating. So all those people that you sew a seed on, others have seown a seed on them as well. And what happens is these people are looking at you like, "How did you know? How did you know what to say?" Especially when the Holy Spirit tells you, "Your grandmother's been praying for you. Why haven't you uh repented? What's going on? Can I help you?" Boy, you you can imagine the wakeup call this person has like, "How did you know? You don't know me. You don't know my grandmother." And that's exactly what you say. That's what you do. That's that's how the Holy Spirit works in this cluster. So now you're starting to see where the church where the Christian's transformation goes to. Do you see how neat that is? Oh my goodness. So and one says, "Do not destroy it for a blessing is in it." I'm going to tell you right now, when you have somebody who's bitter in the church or angry at the church or angry at a person in the church or doesn't like that worship song or whatever, they ruin it because they're not spending time in the secret place of the Lord and giving that to the Lord, saying, "I don't like that, Lord. Either help change me or change them." They haven't done that when that is their responsibility. And instead, they prevent the cluster from working. Isn't that amazing how that can happen in the church? Now, we're still in Isaiah 65. Now, let's look at the consequences when you don't choose to be that Christian in the secret place. So, he's telling you straight up, therefore, I will number you for the sword and you shall all bow down to the slaughter. You see, death comes quicker for you. This is powerful. This is so you know there are benefits to getting in the presence of the Lord. Not just the fact that oh well he's amazing. It was great to be in his presence and that he let me be alive today in and of itself. But the fact is you get to live longer because you have the blessing of life on you. But when you don't do it, you have the bless the cursing of death on you. Now look, let's continue. Because when I called you did not answer. The secret place is where he's going to call you. This is the place that you need to be spending time with him so he can prepare you to take you out into ministry wherever it may be. It may not even be in the church. It could be in the street corner or it can be in the jail cells. Wherever you will be called, he will call you but you did not answer. You're a believer but you didn't answer. Could have been this way for 50 years. But I'm telling you right now, there's going to be this cluster coming in. You're going to have to shuck your oldness, your old ways. Put on the new wine skin and get ready. Prep yourself now in the secret place of the Lord because he called you. You are called. And when I spoke, you did not hear but did evil before my eyes and chose that in which I do not delight. You know, speaking of a this is the type of person you're going to be dealing a lot with here in these end times. So, I have a little testimony here. Here I was at the grocery store waiting for the cashier ringing up all my groceries. The person bag the gal bagging my groceries is talking to the cashier and is mad at the church. She and she named the church and I knew the church and she's mad because she's um homosexual and the church kicked her out and they wouldn't even let her wait for a drive or a ride to come pick her up. They made her walk and it was on a mountain and she had to walk down the hill and she was mad and she just whatever. And then out of the blue, she looks at me and, you know, basically asking me what it is, you know, that's going on. And D and I don't know her. She don't know me. But see, she senses the spirit. And the one thing I said to her was very simple. I said, "How can you expect God to bless you when he told you homosexuality is a sin?" She responded, "Well, she says, "I know. But you know what? She gave me a hug, thanked me, and she continued on her way. She didn't change. You see, that's what people want today. Whether you're a sinner or a Christian who's got one foot in the church and one foot in the world, you want both. You want evil, you want, well, not evil, you want sin because it's feels good for a season. You want your sin and you want to live uh and have God's blessings on you. You can't have both. You have to choose and Isaiah clearly tells you. Now look at what it continues to tell you though when you choose him. So you have for uh verse 17. For behold I create new heavens and a new earth and the former shall not be remembered or come to mind. Remember we are also talking about what's coming up after the the millennial. You're going to have a Jerusalem, a new Jerusalem. We're going to be shucking off of the old wine skin, putting on the new one, and we're going to be part of the new heavens and the new earth. So, he's telling you straight up where this is going. Now, look at this. And he's prophesying in verse 24 and 25. And it shall come to pass that before they call, I will answer. Here's the most amazing part talking about us here and now. Let's say you're not feeling very well. something you just know you're down or whatever, whatever's going on. Before you even prayed and asked God cuz you've been dwelling in the sequence, he already knew and he sent you your healing. You already have it. In fact, it goes away. You get up, you decide to nope, I'm not going to be it. That's it. I'm moving on because I don't have time for that one. Or you know what? I'm not going to get sick because I know that I was already healed. I say it already healed. So now once you know that, that it goes right out the window. He answered you even before you needed to. Which that is prophetic anyways because Jesus took the healing. The beating his back was torn to pieces. He took the stripes for us. By his stripes, we were healed. By his stripes, we are healed. So, it's amazing to see how he already did all that. You're in a financial situation. He knows. So, before you even ask, he answered and already provided. It's on its way. Now imagine being part of that cluster where you're moving under the anointing of the Holy Spirit. Put a check here. You do this. You do that because the Holy Spirit told you. You're doing what you need to do. This is how this is going to be working. And while they're still speaking, I will hear. The wolf and the lamb shall feed together. The lion shall eat straw like the ox. And thus shall be the serpent's food. They shall not hurt or destroy in all my holy mountain, says the Lord. The lion and the lamb living together. We're going to see that. But the me best part is to see that it is now. You see, our heavenly eternity already began here and now in our flesh. You I I get to say, I'm already saved and I've already started my eternity because I've already died to this world. Because I enter into the secret place with the Lord. And when I spend my time there, I get to sin runs. It leaves. I don't have to have sin on me. I'm considered righteous. Oh, you got to grasp this. Got to grasp this. Let's look at um 2 Corinthians 5:17-21. Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. Old things have passed away. Behold, all things have become new. And now all things are of God who has reconciled us to himself through Jesus Christ and has given us the ministry of reconciliation. Pause here. Remember what I was talking about? If you if if a Christian becomes a Christian or believer under your moment, you shared the word of God with that person and they accepted Jesus Christ into their heart. You are given the responsibility of reconciliation. How do you reconcile? You bring them into the secret place with the Lord because you want him and God to bond. Do you see that? And he's telling us that's our responsibility. I want you to see that. Says uh given us the ministry of reconciliation. That is that God was in Christ reconciling the world to himself, not imputing their trespasses to them, and has committed to us the word of reconciliation. Hallelujah. And now then, we are ambassadors for Christ as though God were pleading through us. You know, when you're in the secret place, he is getting you prepped and ready. He is preparing you. He's giving you scripture that you're it's going to click with you and you're going to have it in your mind and you're going to be able to share it with somebody and you're going to be reconciling them to the Lord. And that see you have become that new creation. Oh, so awesome. Look at this. For he made him who knew no sin to be sin for us that we might become the righteousness of God in him. So when you are spending time getting the oil, getting the grain, getting prepped, getting rid of the old wine skin, putting on the new wine skin, getting ready to operate in that cluster. You are now righteous in the presence of God. Now you're ready to evangelize. You're ready to go forward. Look at this in John. What What do you have to do when you evangelize? John 4:35-38. Do you not say there are still four months and then comes the harvest? Behold, I say to you, lift up your eyes and look at the fields for they are already white for harvest. And he who reaps receives wages and gathers fruit for eternal life. That both he who sws and he who reaps may rejoice together. For in this the saying is true, one sws and another reaps. I sent you to reap that for which you have not labored. Others have labored and you have entered into their labors. Again, these people are going to be amazed because you're going to say things others have already told them and they're going to wonder how did you know? And they're going to realize that God is real and they're going to repent hopefully in that moment. But you also got to bring them in to the reconciliation into that ministry so that they get close to God so they don't become that person who hates the church and calls the church hypocritical. You are ministering to different types of people. Realize this. Go read the parable of the sewer. When God is sewing seed, there's some that land on hard soil. Ha. Have you ever tried to germinate a seed and grow seed from scratch? Some are very temperamental and you may not even be able to grow any seed of that kind. Just you can't. It's your your where you live. It's the weather. You just can't. But someone else can. in another area. And that's exactly how it is. Now, remember, I've been talking about that this is your responsibility. Let's go back to the life of a plant for a moment. When a plant is sitting in a pot in your house, does it get watered by itself? No. You have to go pick it up and go water it. Meaning, you have to go get the water, the grain from the living word of God, the bread of life, Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, and then the oil. And now the new wine. You're going to be taking the action of removing your old wine skin and getting ready for the new wine skin and what God has set for you. And this is preparing you to evangelize, preparing you to do battle because you will be dealing with spiritual matter. I mean, take a look at the room you're in. You can't see it, but there are angels and demons standing around you. So, how do you get the victory? You have to be in the secret place with the Lord first. And you pray over your service. You bless the service because that means when the devil or the demon and the angel are fighting, the angel has a victory over that service and people come in and they feel a difference and it's like, "Wow, this is neat. Wow, I got I got blessed. I'm going back." You see, that is how you get prepped for warfare. You go into it and that is how you have the victory. And it's because you are transforming as that Christian because why your seed is growing. You know what God you accepted Jesus Christ in your heart. It was a seed that was planted in you. Remember Adam comes from the dust of the earth. So you got a seed and then you got baptized. And when you got baptized that put you in a ministry. Remember when Jesus was baptized he went and dealt with the devil first. So imagine a new believer, a new Christian, that first love. Remember your first love. You get baptized. you're ready to go into ministry. You and in fact a new Christian is a sink or swim moment here in that beginning. Why? Because now they get a taste of the spirit world and they they start to see and understand and they should have questions. They should be coming to you and asking you questions. You should be answering them with the Holy Spirit. And if you can't, you work with him and said, "Let's go find that answer together." Amen. Amen. That is that first love. So when you who's been a Christian for 50 years now get into that secret place, you're going to remember your first love and you're going to be getting ready because you're now going to have that grain, the bread of life. You're going to be sustained by the living word of God and you're going to have the anointing of the oil which is going to splatter on people because it's going to be flowing over your cup. And now you're going to have the new wine where you're going to be operating because you're going to hear the spirit of the Lord, the Holy Spirit talk to you. Do you see that transformation a Christian takes in their life, in their walk? And it only happens for as much as you're wi Previous Next Home

GOD THE FATHER The objective of this teaching is to help believers build a deeper trust in God as their Heavenly Father by learning to see Him apart from flawed earthly examples of fatherhood. Through Scripture, this message encourages listeners to recognize the perfect relationship between Jesus and the Father as the model for their own relationship with God, and to grow in faith, obedience, and spiritual maturity. < Back GOD THE FATHER Minister Lisa Kane July 17, 2023 Objective: The objective of this teaching is to help believers build a deeper trust in God as their Heavenly Father by learning to see Him apart from flawed earthly examples of fatherhood. Through Scripture, this message encourages listeners to recognize the perfect relationship between Jesus and the Father as the model for their own relationship with God, and to grow in faith, obedience, and spiritual maturity. Synopsis: In this message, Lisa Kane explores the role of God as Father, drawing from John 10:30 where Jesus declares, “I and my Father are one.” The teaching emphasizes that by knowing Jesus, believers also come to know the Father, since Christ is the living Word and the perfect example of trust and obedience. Jesus’ willingness to lay down His life in faith that the Father would raise Him again illustrates the ultimate expression of trust and relationship. Lisa contrasts the heavenly Father with earthly fathers, acknowledging that many have experienced disappointment, absence, or brokenness in human relationships. However, unlike human fathers, God patiently trains, guides, and waits for His children to return to Him, always offering love, correction, and restoration. The message highlights Scriptures such as Exodus 20:12, Proverbs 22:6, and Proverbs 3:5–6, showing how God acts as a true parent who teaches, disciplines, and blesses His children. Practical applications include trusting God beyond worldly reasoning, measuring relationships by God’s standard rather than cultural ones, and recognizing that spiritual growth is a process in which God meets His children at their level of readiness. Lisa also stresses that salvation is secure, as God’s love and patience endure while He draws people back to Himself. The message closes with a call to repentance, encouragement to pursue a genuine relationship with God through His Word, and assurance that honoring and trusting the Father leads to blessing, spiritual maturity, and eternal life. Inspired Teaching: Hello and welcome to the House of Faith Ministries. I'm Lisa Kane and recording this on Monday, July 17th, 2023. Welcome. This message is called God the Father. Let's open up in a word of prayer. Father God, we thank you for who you are. We thank you for building our trust in you. You know, I understand that we've been disappointed by role models and relationships that we've had here on the earth. Well, but with you, we can put all that aside and trust in you because you are always there even if we don't understand it. And I pray, Father God, that I can eloquently explain this message to the world on your behalf. So come through me, speak through me, you do this, Father God, and we thank you and we bless this word. We ask for your blessing on it. We thank you in the name of Jesus. Amen. Amen. Uh I'm trying a little different background. We are here in Missouri now and I'm going to be here in this particular place for 6 months, maybe about five and a half months now. And uh so I don't have my lighting out, but this room is extremely bright. So I'm kind of hoping we have a little overcast today. Probably going to get a storm later this evening if I understand the weather correctly. Now we'll see. And then I still have this lingering cough. Pray for me in the name of Jesus. Let's get rid of this thing now. Yeah. you know. Okay, let's go to our opening scripture here. John 10:30. I and my father are one. And um this message is going to be about relationships. And I hope to build your um trust value or trust factor up with the Lord. That's my goal with this message for one and two to help you not look at God based on your worldly experiences. I want you to see God in the heavenly realm and experience him heavenly like. That's what this message is about. Amen. So, let's dig right in. So, it's called God the Father. We're going to be talking about the father role here. Now, notice though, we have an example in the word of God. Look at this opening scripture. John 10:30. I and my father are one. So, Jesus is saying that if you look at me, you're going to see my father. So if you know Jesus, you know the father. Jesus is the perfect example for us to follow in having that relationship because Jesus obviously trusted God. Let's go a little further. We're still in John 10. Now we're going to look at verses 17- 18. Therefore, my father loves me because I laid down my life that I may take it again. Pause. That very sentence is very powerful. Jesus is saying, "Yes, I'm going to go lay down my life because I know my father is going to pick me up and give it to me again. I'm going to pick it up actually." And and so let's pause for a moment. Let's let's identify Jesus, the son of God, here for a moment. I've taught on this already, so I'm just going to do a highle overview. But if you compare John 1:1 against Genesis 1 1-4, you will find that Jesus is the one who says, "Let there be light." There was light and it was good. So now Jesus has been the epiphany the whole time. This is him. The word of God is Jesus. Jesus John 1:1 I um in the beginning was the word and the word was with God and the word was God. Jesus was the word. Jesus is the word. So we have the Bible today which is Jesus. So if you need to hear from Jesus, you don't have to spiritually hear. You can, but it always you need to check that voice because you don't know if a demon is talking to you. You have to be very careful. You check it against the word of God. If the word of God says exactly what you heard in your head, you know that's the heavenly father speaking to you. That's Jesus speaking to you. Jesus has been this role. So you can go back to the very beginning, you know, and I know I've been watching um on TikTok uh a true Christian ministry. I don't know the gentleman's name. I think it's Mike, but he he answers questions from people. A lot of their questions very interesting. You know, why would God create a hell? Why would God not just put all the good people on here? But see, this is what was so interesting is God chose this path. He knew what would happen. He made perfect utopia with Adam. No woman, just Adam and him. And they had this relationship and it was awesome. You go read this in Genesis 1, two, three, all the way to the end of three. And uh you can start to see when Eve comes in and then the deception. Uh you can see that God made it perfect. And what happened is Eve and Adam sinned. They disobeyed God. And the moment they did that, sin entered the picture and now everything goes corrupt. And and and I guess people don't understand that or don't want to understand. And part part of it is you have a generation today that the Bible was taken out of and they have no belief factor. And so they question everything, which is what a scientist teaches you, question everything. Well, you know, then you need to question a trust factor. Do you really trust the word of God above what scientists are telling you? Because see, scientists think they're telling you what they know. Do they really know the Earth is billions of years old? They don't know it. It's a theory. I But it's so interesting how they word it. You You could open up dinosaur books. A fact. Six million years ago, dinosaur. How do you know that? That that's not a fact. You see, you cannot trust science. But if you start with the word of God and you put that first and then you look at the evidence the earth offers, you will find truth. So now that should build your trust up a bit. So here Jesus, so when God made man in his image, he already knew. So he chose this path. So Jesus at that very moment had already been asked by his father, I need you to go lay your life down for me. Look at the scripture. Let's continue on in the scripture because this is what God had asked him. Look at this. Uh and and you know this because Jesus is telling us in his time. It's not written in Genesis. But watch this. Watch this. Says, "Because I laid down my life that I may take it again." Verse 18, "No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down and I have power to take it again. this command I have received from my father. So Jesus clearly is saying, I'm doing what my father told me to do. And he said, I'm going to have my life again if I do this. And as I've taught many times when he caught up on that cross, he's thinking of every human being that's ever lived in this earth. And he says, "I'm here to save you." And he did it. He did it. He went to the cross and he died. And guess what? his body's not in the grave. He rose from the grave three days later. And this was simply his father asking him. So let's go validate what that means because this is this is very very powerful. This has an impact on you. Watch this. In Exodus 2012, one of the ten commandments is honor your father and your mother that your days may be long upon the land which the Lord your God is giving you. Now Paul reiterates it in Ephesians 6 2 and 3. Honor your father and mother. Look what he says. Which is the first commandment with promise that it may be well with you and you may live long on the earth. Jesus fulfilled that. He honored his father. He went to the cross and said, "You commanded me to do this. I'm gonna do it, Lord. I'm gonna sacrifice my life because I know I'm going to pick it up again because you said so." He trusted his father. Now, I'm going to pause here and I'm I'm going to show you what you already know. How many of you were raised with no father? How many of you had a father that disappointed you? How many fathers or how many people had fathers that were drunks? They're men and they're sin. They're they're living in sin. But there are still many fathers who repented and did the best they could. So now in your experience, who should you look to? Now even if I, you know, I grew up with a Christian father. We became Christians when I was six years old. My father was strict, you know. He raised us properly. He taught me how to manage my money, taught me how to have that self-confidence in the world, how to navigate the world. And this is what our father should be teaching us. By the way, Godfather, our God, our heavenly father teaches us that. I'm going to kind of go into that a bit here in a minute. But I want you to see how sometimes our fathers didn't do that. Now, we may have had role models that we can follow, but there's always a disappointment factor. See, what people forget is we're in time. Time means we have a new day every day and it keeps on going till it ends, which has been prophesied it will end. God isn't in time. He is outside of time. So, if you live for God in January of 2023, but you kind of fall away for a few months, but then you come back cuz it's like a I remember my first um years as a young adult living for God. Sometimes I was on fire for God and there are other times he was the farthest thing from my mind. Months would go by without even reading my Bible or praying. And I remember identifying that and I asked God how to avoid that because I didn't want to live like a yo-yo. Now, did I lose my salvation in the midst of that? No. God was patient. You see, let's identify something here. So, if see, God is perfect gentleman. He's going to work with me. When a father is training a child, if you're training a toddler how to handle a gun, that toddler is not ready to handle a gun. So, you cannot do that. You see, you have to train them at the appropriate age that they are. So, when you are trying to train your young teenager who thinks they know everything, sometimes you have to step back and pray and leave it with the Lord's hands because they're not ready to hear anything you have to say. Right? So, in that January scenario that I just uh identified a few moments ago, if I was living for God in January 2023, let's say I'm 23 years old, just just hypothetically, and then I go five months without living for God, praying or anything, did I lose my salvation? No. Because what I did is like five months later, I said, "You know what, God, I need you." And I started again and I repent. But dad, no. God stood back because he waited for me to come back to him when I was ready in my time. That's what relationship is all about, guys. If you're trying to go ask out a a girl for a date and you're trying to see, you know, and you keep asking her, she keeps saying, "Leave me alone." Leave her alone. Pray if you want to pray. That might not be the right girl for you. But I'm going to tell you right now, you have to back off. That's what God the Father does until that person's ready to receive. This is why some people go to hell. They never want to have anything to do with God. That's their persona. That's their choice. They have that will to tell God, "Leave me alone." How many people I see it all the time on TikTok. How many people say, "Why do you force God down my throat?" We're not forcing God down your throat. The Holy Spirit is talking to you, but you keep doing this. And I'm telling you right now, he's going to back off, but he's going to remind you from time to time. Now, I know people who waited till they were in their 60s, close to retirement, when they said, "Oh, okay. Now I'll live for God." Because they wanted to in their mind, they wanted to enjoy the earth and everything it had to offer. Listen, my friend, you can enjoy Christ. You can enjoy life now with Christ at the center. You're not um withheld from anything. And if you think you want to enjoy drugs, I'm going to tell you right now, you never know when they'll take your life. This is why God teaches us not to have that. But here's this relationship factor that it it's about you. Now, this is you. This is your choice. You have to choose the right role model here. You have to choose, okay, Lord, I got to get into your word. I And and the only way you're going to know him is by reading his word. And if you think in your mind that you're stupid or dumb, I'm going to tell you right now, you are not. Because see, the Holy Spirit knows how to talk to you at your level. And you will get it. And maybe nobody else will, but you will get it. Because remember what Paul says, we know a part. Each of us know parts and God talks of uh talks to us in each of those parts. So let the Lord work with you and teach you and train you from his word. Let's continue on with the scriptures now. John 10:38. But if I do, now Jesus is talking to the Pharisees and the Sadducees. They're they're um you know complaining and blaspheing him. But if I do though you do not believe me, believe the works that you may know and believe that the father is in me and I in him. And so Jesus is taking it to the next level. He says, "I know you don't believe me. I get it." He says, "I I know you don't believe me." So he's telling the f Pharisees and Sadducees, which by the way, they reject him. They don't ever believe him. But here's the thing. He's telling them, "Even if you don't believe me, believe the works." Because he goes, "I did it because my father commanded me to do it." That's where your faith factor goes up. This is when you get to trust in the Lord because there's things and and it's all unique to each individual. I think I shared this in a couple messages ago. We were at an Airbnb about five or six days here before we moved into this place while we waited for them to get it ready. This is a brand new build here. And he we were all talking my family and I how we had prayed to God Lord I don't understand this part of scripture what what does it mean and each of us had done this at different times all on our own just talking to God and the very next day or within so many hours or within a few days each of us had an experience where either we turn the radio on the preacher starts preaching about that subject you asked God or all of a sudden you see a video and you see us teaching or suddenly somebody comes up and you guys talking about the Lord and the Lord tells you, that person tells you something and it was through the and you're sitting there going, "God answered my prayer." Believe the works. So, you see, he's telling you to believe the works. So, this is God training you how to trust him. Look at Proverbs. We got to go to Proverbs. This is important verse. Proverbs 22:6. Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old, he will not depart from it. So you as a parent do that and everybody looks at it from that perspective. But God as a parent does that to you. He's trying to train you up in the way right way to go. If you're 65 years old and you're re watching this video, he's still training you up in the right way to go. You got to understand time and death means nothing to God. He's just trying other than you know once you die and you keep rejecting him all the way unto death. That's an unforgivable sin. He you can't ask for forgiveness once you're dead. You have to repent here and now alive on this earth. So up until that moment that's the only thing. So God is working with you trying to reach you. And if you're getting all flustered and frustrated, stop shoving God down my throat. Listen, you're the one who has the skip, delete, no button, block button, use it. You want to reject God. Hey, that's your choice. Don't come complaining when you wake up in hell because it's too late by then. You rejected the one way you had out. And if you think that all ways get to God, let me tell you, Jesus says, "I am the way, the truth, and the life." No man, no man comes to the father except through him. Through Jesus. So to get to him, you have to go through Jesus. That's the path. If you and you think, "No, no, no. All ways." No, no, no, no. If I lived in Los Angeles and you lived in San Diego and I told you to take the five north to get to me, and you decide to take the five south and you start heading off to Baja California and whatnot and into Mexico, are you ever going to get to my address? No. You will not get to heaven if you choose to go another way other than Jesus. You just won't. That's just the way this goes. So God is trying to train you. And Jesus, who is the son of God, who says, "You want to know the father, you got to know me because you'll know the father through me because I'm in him. He's in me. I'm doing everything he commanded me to do." If that's the case, then you need to go read about Jesus. You need to see the works that he does. And if you have been somewhat following Jesus, you go to church, but you don't see any miracles. You question that even miracles exist. You wonder, you have to ask yourself, are you asking God or are you looking to man? And this is again the relationship part. This is where you have to say, you know what, I'm not going to talk to man about this. This is a heavenly spiritual matter. I need to go talk to God. And if you think, okay, well, I don't understand and I can't hear from him. All you have to do, open up the Bible. open it up anywhere and I promise you he will speak to you. And if you need to go to the Gospel, start with the Gospel of John because then you can really see Jesus walk on the earth, do his miracles, save people, heal people, and then go to the cross to redeem us of our sins. That is what he did. And so as you begin to read though, you're going to realize your soul, your spirit is saturating the word of God and it's going to bubble out of you and you're going to find this good news that you have in you and you're going to want to share it. I'm going to tell you right now for those of you that say, "Oh, stop." The reason I want to share with you is because I found the precious, most beautiful diamond that's so rare and I want to share it with you. I don't want to keep it to myself. Jesus is life. Look at me. I'm living and I'm excited. I'm not suffering like you. I'm Watch the works in me. Watch the transformation in me. You can go look at all my videos up and even to today. Watch. They're all dated the ones that I started doing and you can see the transformation take place even in the element of teaching because that's how God works. I spend time and I want to share it with you and I'm hoping that you enjoy the messages. Get encouraged. Get lifted up. There's one guy on TikTok, I love him. He comes right around the corner. Jesus is Lord. This is a new day. And he just shouts it out. I love that. And you want to say no to that. You think a drug is going to make you feel that way? No. Because there's consequences. You might feel that way for a precious 30 minutes, but after that, oh no, there's a crash that comes that you just don't like and won't like. Oh, let's continue on with the word of God. And look at Isaiah. And and and this is what God is saying. Come, let us reason together. Come talk to me. I will answer your questions. It's right here. Look at this. Is God training us. Isaiah 1:18. Come now and let us reason together, says the Lord. I know. He says, "Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow. Though they are red like crimson, they shall be wool uh be as wool." Because he's saying, "I know you're a sinner. I know you don't understand, but I want to train you. I want to have a relationship with you. I want you to trust me." He says, "Come talk to me so I can explain it to you." And he does. But if you're doing this, how can he talk to you? How can you? You're just going to keep repeating the same stupid questions over and over. Okay, no question is stupid. I know it's valid, but God will answer it, but you got to get in there and say, "Lord, I need help with this question because it's affecting me spiritually. It's affecting my walk with you. I I think gays should be loved." And then you go read John 3:16. For God so loved the world. Oh, you do love them. And then he reminds you, I don't love the sin. I love the person. and I'm trying to get them out of sin. Paul talks heavily on all of the New Testament books that he wrote. He tells you get away from sin. Run from and you will have the self-control to run from it because that's the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit gives you self-control. And if you have to ask the Holy Spirit, Lord, I need self-control. That's a gift of the Holy Spirit. And then see, then the Holy Spirit gets to move in you. And he does transform you. You know, I don't need a high from the world. I don't need to be out till 3:00 in the morning at a bar partying with my ears going deaf from the music. I I don't need any of that. I have the most beautiful, perfect relationship with God. You know, he he showed me go to bed around 10 or 11. Try not to stay up too late, you know. And of course, you learn this as you get a little older. I'm in my early 50s, 53 years. I'll be 54 soon. And all I can tell you is that as you do mature, you get a little older, you do change in your taste. You want to go to bed between 10 and 11. Get up between 7 and 8. Or if you have to go to work, get up between 6:00 and 7. You know, these are reasonable things. But the Lord teaches you this as you mature and when you're and this is why I was telling you God waits for you to come back to him. This is why I believe you can't lose your salvation. I mean, who do you think God is? Do you really think he's evil enough to say that in time you believed at one point in your time, but since you didn't believe at the point you died? I mean, what kind of God is that? That's not God. And that's not what's taught in the Bible. He shows you his love. He shows you his patience. He just keeps waiting for you till you return. And I want to even add an element there. He teaches you as he and he's showing you this as a believer and and and you want to judge the world. I get it. We all want to judge. But he's also teaching you to look at them with his eyes, not your eyes. If you're going to judge a person, which he's given you the ability, and he teaches you how to judge in the word of God, by the way. If you're going to judge someone, you need to judge them with facts. You don't know the facts between that person and God. And that's intimate. That's them. So, take your eyes off of them. Put your eyes on God. As Colossians 3 says, put your things on your eyes on heavenly matters between you and God. Focus on your relationship. And you know what you need to do? Pray. Pray for them. And the Lord will. And even if you don't know what to pray, speak in tones. Speaking in tonesues edifies you. Edifies your spirit. And if that's what you need to do, speak in tongues to let that judgment go, then do it. If you need to and you think you have a factual event, hey Lord, I think my family member ran away with this money, but I don't know. But I'm lifting them up to you and I'm praying for them. And I just pray that one, they repent. I pray that they find you, that they live for you, glorify you, and I pray that they are blessed and in good health. And you know, and you learn this too because God teaches you these things as you mature and you get more in him because you're living for him. You're learning more from him. And the more that you learn, you see now I I learned just what a year ago, maybe a little less than pray for my neighbors. Why did I learn this? You know, there was a lot of thief going, you know, a lot of people stealing things all over the neighborhood. I started praying and it stopped. And what was I praying? Bless them, Lord, with things that they need. If they're stealing, they either need it or they really want it. But Lord, bless them financially so they can go get it themselves and not steal it from somebody else. And then the neighborhood got better. That, my friend, is God training us, teaching us. Look at this. Proverbs 22:19. So that your trust may be in the Lord, I have instructed you today, even you. Look at that. He's telling you, I'm teaching you things today. Whether you even see it or know it, um it could be like a near miss car accident. You see that and you stop and you go, "Wow, Lord, you you did that." I there was a testimony somebody was sharing. I don't know how true this is, and it's an old testimony about a car getting into an intersection and a truck going through them and and everybody survived. I don't know again how true it is, but I do know that Lord does things like that and he does things to reach you at a level so that you finally see the heavenly realm there. Um, I was walking up the stairs. This was many, many years ago, probably about 30 years ago, give or take now. And I can hear and and this was one of those moments. God was the furthest thing from me. Remember, he waits. And I don't know what he saw in my future, but he saw something there because all of a sudden I'm hearing this little voice in the back of my head. I'm walking upstairs. Go to church. Go to church. And I'm And and this is going on in the back of my head, but I'm fighting it. What? And I turned around on the stairs to tell this voice, I don't need to. And I stopped because all of a sudden, I'm experiencing the presence of the heavenly father. and he said, "Go to church." And I did. That's when I realized the yo-yo effected and my life changed. So, every person has a personal experience with God like that. Let him train you. Let him show you. And then trust him. Look at this. Proverbs 35-6. Trust in the Lord with all your heart. lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him and he shall direct your path. For example, the LGBT community. There's a lot of Christians that don't understand what's going on. They're being deceived because they're saying, "You got to love me. You got to um I I got to be loved." And but what the LGBT community is saying, you have to bless my sin so I can go to God and say, "Look at how many people we got on our side. We must be right and you're wrong." Sin is sin, my friend. If you lie, that's a sin. A little white lie. By the way, God hates those more than anything else, bar none. He hates that. He hates that more than you being gay. Simple. Listen, you want to live gay, remember, God will let you be. He's going to leave you be. You want to live in sin, that's your choice. You're going to get a knock from the Holy Spirit from time to time asking you to repent. But if you want to live that way, that you you want to lie, you want to live in sin, you want to live in um carnality, sexual immorality, you want to do that, that is your choice. There are consequences to it. You see, when you live in sin, it will kill you slowly but surely. It's like marinating in the oven. Frog doesn't know he's dying when they have him on that heat until it's too late. So, but if you say, you know what, I'm going to go to God first. let me get my life right with God. I'm gonna put aside this sin and I'm gonna choose to live for him. That is what he's asking you to do. And he's trying to train you in that. He trains you on all of this stuff. This is how God works. He trains you and he protects you. He's your father. So, you know what I'm going to tell you right now? There is nothing in this world that you can be afraid of. And he tells you, do not fear. I think like 365 times in the new in the King James version, one for every day of the year. This is how God works. He's here for you. He just wants you to talk to him and he will reason with you. He will explain to you how much he loves you but doesn't love your sin. He will explain to you what carnality and sin is. Paul makes a whole bunch of lists. By the way, he talks about drunkenness. He doesn't talk about smoking. You want to smoke? Hey, have at it. But, you know, they're consequences. That's what he's talking about, though. He says, look at the consequences. You want to die, holy. Romans 6:23, the wages of sin leads to death is death. Wages of sin is death. But the second part of that verse says, the gift of God is life. You want to live a long life. Look at what Jesus did. He honored his father. And you said, "Well, he died at 33. He's eternally alive and he will be alive for the rest of his days in that body that the Lord gave him." He was spirit before that. He's now God in body. And he has all the people that want to live for him and believe in him. He has that. His an entire kingdom. He benefited. He got more than what he had before. and he's telling you, I honored my father. Do the same. And if you go back and you look at Abraham, King David, those are examples. They lived long lives. Why? Because they put God first. They said, you know, I'm going to honor my parents. And they did. You know, David had to wait many years before he became king. Even though he was anointed king early on, he waited. But he was the youngest I think of all his brothers. So he had all these role models to follow. But he went to the Lord and while he watched the sheep, he was talking to the Lord. A man after God's own heart. Oh, great example to follow. And look at this. Proverbs 35. Every word of God is pure. He is a shield to those who put their trust in him. So here's the role model for you to follow. And that is Jesus, the son of God. He put himself out there and he honored his father and he is blessed. Now, I understand you're disappointing your parents. Your parents don't live the way you judge them to live by. So, I'm asking you to put that judgment aside. I'm asking you to pray for them, bless them, and I'm asking you to go to God. Go to Jesus, judge Jesus, and then ask yourself, which role model do you want to follow first? And I promise you, Jesus is going to lead you in the right direction. He, by the way, so I I'm going to put in a couple scriptures here. I want you to see there are all kinds of things that Jesus teaches you, God teach you that are in the word of God in which you can either train your children up in the word of God like this and use it as an example, use it with a real life application, but these are things that you want to be trained in. And if you're 70 years old and you're hearing this message, these are still things you can learn from. Look at this. And you may have already learned from it, but this goes to show you how the word of God is already teaching you. When you're ready, you come into his presence and he will teach you. Look at this. 1 Timothy 6:10. For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil, for which some have strayed from the faith in their greediness and pierced themselves through with many sorrows. What do you put first, Jesus or money? And in Jesus, there's other scriptures say, "Cast all that. Cast it out. Give it to God." I promise you, having the presence of God in your life is better than money. And I promise you, he will provide everything. As he says, uh Jesus says it, "If I can take care of the birds," and he does. They're well taken care of, he will take care of us. See, this is the trust factor. Now, this is where you've got to go into that trust. He teaches you these things. Look what else he teaches you. Look at this. Matthew 16:18 through9. And I also say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it. He taught Jesus taught the disciples how to build a church. See, he's teaching you these things, but he's bringing you into the fold because he wants to train you up in the right way. You should go. If you want to, by the way, you know, if you choose to get saved but not live for him, hey, who am I to judge you? I'm not. Go live your life. You will be in consequences of the sins that you choose to continue to live in. But I promise you, the Holy Spirit's so nagging you. And you'll be like, "Oh, why are you reminding me of that, Lord?" Nope. I'm going to go do Hey, your choice. But I promise you, once you repent and you get back into it, you will be blessed. You are the And some of you sit here and I hear this all the time. Why do you get why are you so lucky? And I'm not. Well, I live for God. You're not there. That's the reality of the situation. So, let's continue on. He says, "And build the church." Verse 19, "And I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven. Whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven. Whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven." He's telling the pastor of the church, you have the authority to bind up the strong men demons so that people can come into the church, hear, see, and believe. Because if you bind the strong man where he can't block the hearing, can't block the seeing, Jesus clearly says you will believe because when you see it, you will believe. That's what he says. Again, he trains you up in how to do that. And it's not just pastors that can do that. By the way, I did that coming here to Missouri. And that's probably why I faced Previous Next Home

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

REPAIRING THE DISOWNED STATEMENT The purpose of this message is to help believers understand the seriousness of disowning or denying Christ with their words or actions, and how restoration is possible through repentance, confession, and renewed commitment to their God-given duty and obligation of love. It emphasizes the importance of fulfilling one’s divine responsibility, forgiving others, and walking in obedience so that restoration, healing, and power can manifest in the believer’s life. < Back REPAIRING THE DISOWNED STATEMENT Minister Lisa Kane October 21, 2023 Objective: The purpose of this message is to help believers understand the seriousness of disowning or denying Christ with their words or actions, and how restoration is possible through repentance, confession, and renewed commitment to their God-given duty and obligation of love. It emphasizes the importance of fulfilling one’s divine responsibility, forgiving others, and walking in obedience so that restoration, healing, and power can manifest in the believer’s life. Synopsis: In “Repairing the Disowned Statement,” Minister Lisa Kane teaches from Matthew 26, John 13, and John 21 about Peter’s denial of Christ and his subsequent restoration. Although Peter boldly declared he would never deny Jesus, he disowned Him three times as foretold. His bitter weeping revealed the brokenness needed for God to begin transforming him into the powerful apostle we later see at Pentecost. The message explains how words spoken—whether denial or confession—carry spiritual weight, binding and loosing in both heaven and earth. Peter’s threefold denial required a threefold reaffirmation of love, where Jesus asked him, “Do you love me?” and restored him to his calling. Importantly, Jesus distinguished between affectionate love and love as moral duty and obligation, teaching that true discipleship requires responsibility, not just fondness. Minister Lisa highlights that believers today must recognize their duty to intercede, forgive, and love others as Christ commanded. By fulfilling this obligation, Christians manifest goodwill, break demonic holds, and invite God’s refreshing presence. Practical applications include forgiving even enemies, praying for leaders, interceding for family, and blessing communities. Ultimately, the message calls every believer to examine where they may have denied Christ, repent, confess His lordship, and walk in their moral obligation of love. This restores authority, brings deliverance, and empowers the believer to fulfill their God-given ministry with maturity, just as Peter did. Inspired Teaching: Hello and welcome to the House of Faith Ministries. I'm Lisa Kaine and I'm recording this on Saturday, October 21st, 2023. Welcome. This message is called repairing the disowned statement. Let's open up an order of prayer. Father God, we thank you for your word. We thank you for the anointing of your Holy Spirit. We thank you for your wisdom, your knowledge, your understanding. We thank you for teaching us the deep meat of your word and satisfying our spirit and soul with your word. Father God, let us learn what love and our obligation and duty is, Father God. And let us restore our lives unto you after possibly denying you in the past. Thank you, Father God, for your healing and your restoration in our lives in the glorious name of Jesus. Thank you, Father God. Amen. Amen. Amen. Let's go to our opening scripture. This is called repairing the disowned statement. We're going to start here in Matthew 26. We're going to look at verses 34 and 75. Jesus said unto him, he's talking to Peter, verily I say unto thee that this night before the cockcrow, thou shalt deny me thrice. And that word deny there means deny utterly or disown. So he's going to disown Jesus three times. And then later on in verse 75, Peter and Peter remembered the word of Jesus which said unto him before the [ __ ] crow, "Thou shalt deny me thrice." And he went out and wept. And that word wept there means to whail out loud. And he did it bitterly. And it was a violent bitterness. He He was broken. He was ready to die for Christ, ready to lay down his life. And he couldn't figure out, you know, here he is in the courtyard as they're interrogating Jesus. He's standing in front of a a fire pit of some sort. And they're accusing him as being one of the ones who hung out with Jesus. And he denied it as Jesus prophesied he would. And yet he had told Jesus, "Nah, it may everybody else is going to run away, but I'm not." Peter is one of the most interesting disciples you will ever watch and get to know. He fascinates me. Why? Because of his maturity. God Jesus came and got him as a fisherman. And then he showed him what he was going to do. And Peter finally believed it. It finally happened and he learned. But here's where it started. It started with his brokenness. He became broken here. He got to relate with Jesus. He saw him. He walked with him. He lived with him. He got to spend all that quality time. And the moment that Jesus is going to move into his anointing power, the ministry, get crucified for you and me because that was his obligation, his duty. I'm going to show you that here in a moment. When he was about to do that, everybody scattered and ran from him and left him alone, including Peter. And he was hurt by that. He was hurted himself. He was um he was messed up. Hurt by it. Let's look at this a little further in John 13. We're going to look at 36-38. Simon Peter said unto the Lord, "Whi goest thou?" Jesus answered him, "Whether I go, thou canst not follow me." Now, but thou shalt follow me afterwards. Listen that very carefully. We know in hindsight that Peter died on the cross, crucified upside down. He finally met his death. And Jesus is saying, "I got to go get crucified. You can't follow me now, but you will later." So, he's prophesying to Peter. Peter's listening and hearing this. Watch this. Peter said to him,"Lord, why can I why cannot I follow thee now? I will lay down my life for thy sake." He's going to give up the spirit, the ghost. Peter was ready and willing to die. And Jesus said, "Not yet." Look what Jesus said. Jesus answered him, "Wilt thou lay down thy life for my sake?" Look at what that word sake there over me instead. You see, Jesus had an agenda. He knew exactly what he was going to do. And Peter is trying to disrupt what the man of God, the son of God, is going to do. Who are we to disrupt what God wants to do? But here Peter is saying, "I'm going to lay down my life for you. You can say all this junk about everybody running away, but I'm not going to do it." And yet, look what happened. Verily, verily, I say unto thee, the [ __ ] shall not crow till thou hast denied me thrice. And look at that word deny is utterly disowned. So Peter hears this. Of course, he forgets about it. And we saw in our opening scripture that he remembered much later on and he became broken. He he realized for the first time how much of a human being he was. This is where God can start to work in us. This is why I like Peter because when you see the maturity level, you see what he does on the day of Pentecost, you see what he writes in first Peter and second Peter, and you just go, "Who is this guy?" Because it can't be the same Peter that walked with Jesus who tried to stop Jesus from going or doing whatever or I'm going to go do it with you. One of the two. So, I want you to see how this plays out for him and where we're going with this. So now John chapter 21, we're going to get into verses 15-1 17 just so I can put it in the placement here. Jesus already was crucified. Jesus already rose from the dead. He's been around now. He's been walking 40 days here on the earth or sometime in that time period. He's ding with his disciples in his new form with the holes and all that stuff. And he's talking to Peter. So here he says, "So when they had died, Jesus saith to Simon Peter, Simon son of Jonas, lovest lovest thou me more than these?" He saith unto him, "Yeah, Lord, thou knowest that I love thee." He saith unto him, "Feed my lambs." I want you to see what the the two different loves here. This very, very powerful. Watch this. That word lovest that Jesus is saying to him is a social or moral sense duty obligation. It's the G35 in the Strong's Hebrew Greek dictionary. So it's a moral obligation. You see Jesus is asking Peter to love me with your duty and obligation. You get that? But Peter answers something different. Watch what he says. I love but Look at he says this is to be a friend fond of. I'm affectionate toward you. Personal attachment. This is G5368 in the Strong's Hebrew Greek dictionary. Look at that. To be a friend fond of affectionate personal attachment. So instead of doing the duty and obligation which remember that was the whole crux of the matter here. Jes Jesus had to go die on the cross and he told Peter you can't go where I'm going yet. And Peter says I'm ready to lay down my life. I'm ready to do my duty and obligation. And Jesus is saying that's not your duty and obligation yet. Later, that will be later. I need you to fulfill your duty and obligation, which is different than mine. You see, Jesus had to go to the cross to redeem us from our sin. Peter was going to be a fisherman of men, and he needed to fulfill that duty and obligation. He hadn't done that yet. And remember, he was told he was going to do this. I'm going to show you the scripture here in a moment, but look at that. So Jesus is asking him, do you have the obligation? And remember this is after Christ was crucified. There's something here. Let's go to verse 16. Now he says to him, he say to him again the second time, Simon son of Jonas, lovest thou me? Look at that. that lovest is that G35 social and moral sense duty obligation Peter he he saith unto him yeah Lord thou knowest that I love look at the love he said here to be a friend I'm fond of affectionate personal attachment to you thee he saith unto him feed my sheep that's twice how many times did Peter deny Jesus disown Jesus three times so here Jesus is asking Peter and he's restoring him by asking him to make his commitment now to obligation and duty. Now watch what happens for the third time. This is verse 17. He saith unto him the third time, Simon son of Jonas, Jonas loveth. Now look at this love to be a friend fond of affectionate personal attachment. Do you attach yourself personally to me, Peter? And this is what Peter had been saying the whole time. So, lovest thou me? Peter was grieved because he said unto him the third time, lovest thou me? Which that love is to now be a friend. But so technically, it's the first time he's saying it this way. But look at what happens. And he said unto him, Lord, thou knowest all things. Thou knowest that I love. And this he reiterated a third time to be the friend of I'm be fond of you. I'm affectionate toward you. I have a personal attachment to you. And Jesus said unto him, feed my sheep. So now let's look at the dynamics here. Notice what did Peter do when he denied Jesus three time? He spoke it into existence. Now when you speak things into existence, you bind things on the earth which then is bound in heaven. You loose things on the earth which is loosed in heaven. When he disowned Jesus, he said, "I am I'm denying. I have nothing to do with him." This is a very powerful thing. You have to be very careful. So what Jesus needs to do now is he needs to restore Peter back to being part of him so that when he restores him he can go fulfill his obligation do the love that Jesus asked him to do. So he has to ask him three times. So he's asking him are you going to fulfill your obligation? Because see Jesus or excuse me, Peter said he was going to do that, but he got scattered and he was broken. This time Peter is like, I'm going to keep this on the surface. I fondly appreciate you. Thank you. I will commit on the surface. And that's what Jesus did. But or that's what Peter did. Jesus met him though at that moment says okay I'll take you this way but he had already told you Peter but you will so now what happened when he said I will love you and have attachment to you three times that counteracts the disowned statement Peter is restored back unto the kingdom of God with Jesus and he can move forward. And then you can see this in his ministry. You're going to see the transformation and the change in his ministry as he goes about doing this. Now, let's look at this obligation because I want you to see this now. Why Jesus had to do this and what this does to you and me because this is so fascinating, powerful. Here in John 13:34, Jesus says, "A new commandment I give unto you, that ye love one another, as I have loved you, that ye also love one another." All three of those loves is that G35 in the Strong's Hebrew Greek dictionary, which means social moral sense, duty, obligation. [Music] Wait a second. Wait a minute. I give you a new commandment that ye love one another, that you are obligated, that you commit your duty to one another. Oh, how I've met I've been teaching on being a priest for your family. I've been I was teaching you last week how to intercede. Actually, the last couple of weeks, how to intercede on your family's behalf by forgiving, speaking the words. Because see G Peter when he spoke the disownment, he had to speak the confession back into existence to have the restoration. This is why Jesus asked him verbally, "Do you love me?" And he answered, "You know that I do. I love you." He had to answer him verbally. Now the restoration is taken into place. And Jesus is saying, "I'm giving you guys a new commandment. All of you, all of you are my disciples." He's telling you to have that moral obligation duty to one another. What is the moral obligation duty that you have toward one another? Well, as a parent, you have kids. It is your moral obligation to feed them, clothe them, put a roof over their heads, get them the things they need, and then add a few extra things here and then when you feel like you want to or earn they've earned it or something of that nature, that's your moral obligation. So, how do you apply that in Christianity? You're going to see godliness manifesting here and the good will. Let's continue on. Verse 35. By this all men, know that ye are my disciples if you have love. Look at this word love. It's different. This is G36 in the Strong's Hebrew Greek dictionary. This is the affection or benevolence, which benevolence means goodwill. So, by this shall all men know that you are my disciples. If you good will one to another, now you do good things. This is why you see people like in the church who have a their own business, you'll see them go into ministry. Uh I just saw we had a testimony, one of the Bible says a couple weeks ago and she's a widow and this young man came over and was mowing her lawn and they got to talking. They're both believers in Christ. He says, "You know what? If you ever need anything from me, you come and ask me. I will be here to help you. That is good will toward one another. That is this love. G36, the goodwill, benevolence love. So see what Jesus did here. He gave us a new commandment to be obligated and have our duty, the moral sense towards one another so that they know you're the disciple of Jesus. And then you're to do the good will toward one another because that's how they're going to know because you got to supply your fruit. You got to show them who you are, right? Oh, look at this. And in verse 12, and because iniquity shall abound, look at what this love, see, I want you to see this. This is so powerful. Jesus is prophesying Matthew 24. And because iniquity shall abound, the love, the good will G36 in the Strong's Hebrew Greek dictionary shall of many shall wax cold. He prophesied that in the latter days we will not see that good will happening. So in other words, we're not fulfilling our duty and obligation. We're not fulfilling the commandment of love that Jesus told us to have. [Music] This is very very important. This is where we need to realize there's more than having a relationship with God. You see, your love is I I have a relationship. You're f I'm fond of you, Jesus. You are my best friend. You are my God. You are my savior. Wonderful. And this has been my relationship with the Lord all the time. But now he's saying you're going to love one another, which is the commandment he gives you so that you are fulfilling your duty and obligation. How do you do that? So, I've been praying and interceding for family and friends and church. And when you start to intercede, I'm fulfilling my obligation to those around me. Think of it like this. I shared this before. Um, in the last year or two years, the neighborhood where we were living out, Lakeland Senor had a lot of um theft in there and uh over the years and and it it was there. It was prevalent. We were always locking our doors. You were very cautious and everything. And I, you know, I did the thing where I'm casting out demons. Ah, you know, Lord, place your hedge of protection. But I changed my prayer when the Lord gave me this epiphany. I prayed for them to have prosperity. And I blessed the thieves known as the enemy. Why? Because if they got the stuff that they need and want, they won't come to me to take it from me. What an epiphany that is. Oh my goodness. You guys got to get this. So now when you let's say you want revival, guess what you got to start doing is you got to pray for the people's soul and spirit around the area around the church. You've got to fulfill your obligation. Jesus wants a revival, but he's waiting for you. What's the scripture that says creation is waiting on the sons of men to show themselves. This is where it starts. you interceding on behalf of the people around you. This is very very important and very powerful that we have to get this because God said Jesus says love one another. Love with obligation and duty. So like for the the war with Israel Hamas, guess what? I'm asking the Lord to forgive Hamas. I'm asking him to forgive the terrorists. I don't want to. I don't want to do it, but that's my duty and obligation because I love Israel. And if I forgive Hamas and Jesus forgives them too, they change on the inside, get transformed, and become believers in Christ. That's what you want for your family, right? You want your family saved. You should be forgiving them of their sins. By the way, you should be forgiving yourself, too, because you may have cursed them. Oh, man. Did you see so and so again, all high and loaded up? man, that that guy needs rehab. He needs something, but boy, it's ugly and oh, I wish if you would just forgive him and then forgive yourself, clear the curses and you bless him. Now, the spirit can move in him and change him. And scripture clearly tells us that that when they hear and see, they will believe. That's how you bring down bring down the demonic activities that people have opened the doors for that they didn't even know that they did. A lot of the stuff that goes on around us is due to ignorance. I think it's Isaiah Hosea 6:4 or 4:6 where he says we die from or we're destroyed from lack of knowledge. The word destroy is we're we're dumb and silent. But we have a duty, a moral sense, and an obligation to fulfill what Jesus told us to do. And that is for all of our family members. That is for every church member. That is for every ministry. That is for your government. Yeah, we need to forgive Biden. If you have an issue with Trump, you need to forgive Trump. I know it's hard. I didn't want to forgive Hamas. But I also not only did that, I said to demonic activity, loose the hostages. See, whatever you loose on earth is loosed in heaven. And did you see two hostages were already released and sent back? Yeah, prayer works, my friend. Prayer works. You got to get in on this and understand what's going on here. So, look at this. Now, this is Peter talking at the day of Pentecost. This is Acts 3:14 and 19. But ye, he's talking to the Jews, the Hebrews, and really to the Pharisees and the Sadducees, the leadership of Israel. He says, "But ye denied the holy one and the just and desired a murderer to be granted unto you." So there was Barabus and Jesus. And Pontius Pilate says, "Which one do you want me to release?" And they all cried for Barabus. That was not just the high priest. They were antagonizing the crowd, but the crowd fell for it. And they all said, "Free Barabus. Give us the thief. We want him. Crucify Jesus the Christ. We don't want him. He's not our Messiah." They disowned him. See, we when you say something like, "President Trump, it was not my president." You disowned your president. He was the only leadership you had. And now you have no leadership. and you are now open and vulnerable to an attack from the enemy. This is why it's very important that we understand what we disown and how to get it restored. We need to have that restoration in order for us to fulfill our obligation and duty as a minister of Christ, a disciple of Christ. Amen. Now look at verse 19. So he tells you how to do it. So you dis disavowed, you contradicted the holy one, Jesus. Now he says repent. Look what the word repent there means to think differently. Reconsider. Repent ye therefore and be converted. Revert. Turn about that your sins may be blotted out when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord. Because see, times of refreshing come. And as they come, they come in waves. To grab a hold of that wave and to get that refreshing, you need to be repented. You need to be living for Christ. Because when the wave comes, you catch it because you are already established. You haven't disowned him. You haven't contradicted him. You haven't cursed your relationship with God. And you are fulfilling your obligation and your duty, the commandment that Jesus told us to do. Very, very important. Now, look what Peter also says because you can see he's maturing here. Look at now in when he wrote first Peter 1 seven and 8 says that the trial of your faith. Do you think Peter went through a trial when he wailed cried out recognized his failure and how violently bitter he was. He says that the trial of your faith being much more precious than the go than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire might be found to praise and honor and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ. He recognized the brokenness that he went through. Look at the maturity. Now look at this. He says, "Whom having not seen?" Look at he's telling you, "You haven't seen the Christ. I was there with him and I failed." But look what he says. Whom having not seen ye love? Look at that love. The G35. So all these people now that he's talking to are loving under the obligation and the moral sense and the duty, the commandment that Jesus said, something he struggled with because he was ready to die. Why? If he died then and he didn't fulfill the uh his obligation to 3,000 that was saved on day of Pentecost would not have been saved or it would have been done through somebody else. Who knows? But he had to fulfill his duty and obligation. He's recognizing this here and he's telling you I not only recognize it for me. Look at you get to do it and you're doing it without even having been there when we were. You're believing the testimony. He says, "Though ye though now ye see him not yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory." Oh, this discip this disciple Peter is absolutely amazing. You can just see the transformation and the change that he went through. And he's telling us now how to deal with it. You see, he said, "I had to repent. I had to confess." Look at what Romans Paul clearly identifies it in Romans 10:9. He says, "If that if thou shalt confess, you're going to acknowledge with thy mouth the Lord Jesus." You have to acknowledge Lord Jesus. You have to say it. That's your acknowledgement. You're confessing and shout believe. Look at what that belief, the word believe there is. Have faith. How do you have faith? How do you believe? You're talking to the sky. You can't see Jesus. You don't even know if he's real or not. that yet me he's real because I'm telling you I have seen him move in my life and believe my testimony I am not kidding you I have moved out here to Missouri and I have brought nine people and the hand of God was on this move through and through every little detail was handled taken care of fully and completely under God because he blessed us why because we are fulfilling our duty and obligation putting him first in our lives having that relationship with him and now interceding. He's teaching us. He's helping us grow like he did with Peter because we choose to be disciples. We choose to put him first and then he blesses us. This is how this works. And he says, "So believe, have faith in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead." See, when you're talking to the sky, you're actually believing that God raised him from the dead because you're talking that he's alive. Isn't that amazing? That's just so wonderful. And thou shalt be saved. Look at that. Say, make whole, restore. When you say, Lord Jesus, I love you. Like Peter had to say. Now, he said it through fondness, appreciation. I I love you, Lord. You're great. You're wonderful. And that's how many Christians love Jesus. They love him that way. So when you say, "Jesus, I love you. Jesus, Lord Jesus, I ask you to save me. I ask you to be my eternal Lord and Savior. Put my name in the Lamb's book of life. When you say that and you're confessing, you are made whole. Now, watch what happens. Yeah, watch this. For whoso, this verse 13, for whosoever shall call upon, invoke, there's that confession and acknowledge the name of the Lord shall be saved. Look at that word save. Save, deliver, heal, preserve. You have to call upon Jesus. When you invoke Jesus, Lord Jesus, I acknowledge you're the son of God. And I'm calling on you, invoking the name of Jesus. Because now you're a believer in Christ when you ask him to forgive you of your sins. And what happens is when you invoke him now and you say the name of Jesus, you are being healed, preserved. Let's go back to that delivered and safe from whatever circumstance circumstance or situation you're in. Whether you're having a problem at work or with your neighbor or with the devil himself and you're having to deal with all you have to do is say the name of Jesus. You see, let's say you're dealing with health issues. Jesus, you are Lord over my health. You are Lord over this cancer. You are Lord over my joy. You are Lord over my grief. You see, you are invoking the name of Jesus. Now, in order to have the authorities, you have to be a believer, which means you have to say, go back to verse nine, confess with the mouth, and believe that God raised him from the dead. You will be saved. You say, "Jesus, I'm sorry. I messed up and I'm believing that you're alive and I'm asking you to forgive me." And as soon as you do that, you are made whole immediately. Your body may not know it yet. Your mind may not know it yet. You might be struggling and fighting something, a division within your soul. But the name of Jesus, now you have the authority to go before the heavenly court. Here's how this works. As I alluded to this earlier in the beginning of the message, when you forgive, so it's you and Jesus before God and this whole heavenly court. And you got demons on one side, angels on the other, however it's set up, I don't know, but it's something like that. And what happens is you say, "Lord Jesus, forgive me." So Jesus takes you up to in front of his father and he says, "Father, she's asked me. He's asked me to forgive her him. I have forgiven them. So you forgive them. So the father says, "Okay, they're forgiven." So they have their rights restored. They can have this, this, and this. And then the devil might be off to the side, but but but and God says, "Nope. Justice served." See, you are immediately saved. Justice is served. And now the devil has no right to accuse you of anything ever again. So what happens is you can do what Job did. Job always prayed forgiveness over his kids, especially after they had a party. He was there the very beginning of the sunrise the next morning and he was um uh had with his rams and his bulls and he was doing sacrifices and he says just in case they curse God while they were having the party. This is how much that's his duty and obligation because he was praying for his kids. You see this? Look at the manifestation of the word of God here and the duty and the obligation here. So when you fulfill this and you are walking in your obligation. So what happens is you're there in the heavenly core. You're forgiven. You forgive something else. The devil comes calling and saying, "No, no, no, no, no." And Jesus says, "But I have forgiven her. I forgive it, too." And then God says, "Okay, it's forgiven. Clear." It voids, it nullifies whatever contract the demon has in that in that place. You see, let's use Hamas as an example. They open the door for demonic activity to be in their their hearts. Um, just from the violence that they did, just trying to keep this as nice as possible, but the violence that they committed cannot that it's unfathomable to me. That has to be demonic. I just can't see a human being doing something this degrading and wrong. But when I forgave them, because see the demons is telling God, they did this, they did that. And he has a bond, a hold on them. And God says, "Well, yeah, they did." Because nobody's forgiven them. But see, the moment I forgave, Jesus stood right next to me. He says, "And I forgive them, too." And so God says, "Okay, they're forgiven. Rights are restored. We're going to release the hostages. The bondage is let go." The demons have to let go. They no longer have a binding contract in place with that person. Now, can it be re-established? Oh, yes. So, all that person has to do is just invite the devil back into his or her life and I'll forgive him again in my next prayer. And now it's a matter of who outlasts who. I took it one step further and uh like for the weather for Southern California. I've taught I've shared that testimony before, but basically I went to the Lord in a very bold statement says, "Shut the mouths of these people trying to curse the weather, trying to curse what we're blessing. Keep it shut so the blessing can break through." And then it did. And we started having rain there again in Southern California. It was really nice. We had so much rain, as a matter of fact. But this is what I'm talking about. This is how you restore yourself out of a disowned statement. You do the same exact thing. Lord Jesus, forgive me because I denied Jesus back then or I have denied Jesus in my past. I'm asking you to forgive me. Jesus comes right next to you. I forgive you. Heavenly Father, I forgive them of this. This is forgiven. And heavenly father says, I agree. And the the uh he his gavvel is finalized. He punches it down. Boy, I just can't even I got it visually, but I can't speak it. But anyways, and the devils have to run. They have to release. Now, imagine if you started forgiving somebody that hurt you. By the way, it's not for them. It's for you. I taught on this just in the last couple of weeks. When you forgive someone else, see, when you're holding on to unforgiveness, your body is tight and it's in a lot of pain and it's hurting and it only gets worse from there. And that hardness turns into cancer. So, if you're dealing with cancer, you might want to look at the spirit of unforgiveness. And whether you want to forgive them or not, I suggest saying it anyways. Because when you speak it out, what happens is you're letting the angels and the demons know up in the heaven and and you're letting Jesus know, okay, I'm going to speak this out. And it's okay to say to Jesus, I don't want to, but I'm going to be obedient to your word and do it anyways. And Jesus says, okay, I forgive them, too. You're you're allowing Jesus to forgive. And what happens now? You're allowing Jesus to change your heart to to mold it and make it better. So, it softens and before you know it, it's just water under the bridge. And now you're not going to be sick. You're not going to get cancer. Not from that incident anyways. But it's up to you whether you want to continue to go and fulfill your obligation to not just yourself, but to those around you and to the heavenly father because he's got a ministry for you. He's calling you to ministry, whatever that may be. You have to start acting on that. It is his commandment that he gave you. Amen. Let's close in a word of prayer. Father God, we thank you for your word. We thank you for the blessing of your word and we thank you for the golden nuggets that you've given us today and the revelation that we have. You are amazing and glorious and wonderful. We thank you in the name of Jesus. Amen. God bless you and I will see you in the next message. Bye. Previous Next Home

WHEN JESUS SPEAKS The objective of this message is to reveal the authority, power, and self-control of Jesus Christ as demonstrated through His words, particularly during the events in the Garden of Gethsemane and leading up to His crucifixion. The teaching aims to deepen believers’ understanding of who Jesus is—eternal Creator, Redeemer, King, and Priest—and to show how His spoken word carries divine authority that can transform lives. Listeners are encouraged to not only recognize His majesty but also to apply the principles of confession, faith, and the power of the spoken word in their own walk with Christ. < Back WHEN JESUS SPEAKS Minister Lisa Kane January 21, 2023 Objective: The objective of this message is to reveal the authority, power, and self-control of Jesus Christ as demonstrated through His words, particularly during the events in the Garden of Gethsemane and leading up to His crucifixion. The teaching aims to deepen believers’ understanding of who Jesus is—eternal Creator, Redeemer, King, and Priest—and to show how His spoken word carries divine authority that can transform lives. Listeners are encouraged to not only recognize His majesty but also to apply the principles of confession, faith, and the power of the spoken word in their own walk with Christ. Synopsis: This message explores the profound significance of Jesus’ words, beginning with His prayer of surrender in the Garden of Gethsemane (Luke 22:41–44), where He accepted the will of the Father despite unimaginable agony. The teaching highlights Jesus’ humanity and divinity—His stress so intense that He sweat blood, yet His determination to carry out redemption for all who would believe. The sermon then examines His declaration “I am he” (John 18), spoken when Judas and the authorities came to arrest Him. This statement, rooted in the divine name revealed in Exodus 3:14, demonstrates His eternal identity and raw authority—so powerful that those who came to seize Him fell to the ground. Despite possessing the power to summon legions of angels (Matthew 26:52–54), Jesus willingly restrained Himself, laying down His kingship to fulfill His role as High Priest and sacrifice for humanity’s salvation. The message traces Jesus’ identity back to creation itself (Genesis 1, John 1), showing that He is the Word by whom all things were made, the One who spoke light into existence without the sun. Scriptures in Isaiah 45 and Revelation are woven in to emphasize His sovereignty over both creation and history, from stretching out the heavens to bringing about the final day of the Lord. The teaching stresses the importance of respecting and responding to the authority of Christ’s words, contrasting the unbelief of those who rejected Him with the salvation offered to all who confess Him as Lord (Romans 10:9–10). Believers are called to recognize the same power of confession in their lives, using their words to bless, to stand in righteousness, and to live out their salvation. The message closes with an urgent call to repentance and personal confession of Jesus as Lord and Savior, reminding listeners that now is the time to respond to His voice, for His word sustains creation itself and holds the key to eternal life. Inspired Teaching: Hello and welcome to the House of Faith Ministries. I'm Lisa Kane. I'm recording this on January 21st, 2023. Welcome. This message is called When Jesus Speaks. Amen. Let's open up in a word of prayer. Father God, we bless this message and we thank you for your blessing upon it. We pray that we have ears to hear, a heart, an understanding to discern and to receive, and that we believe and get a better picture of who you are and the authority and the power that you have when you speak, Father God. And we pray that we apply it to our lives and live it in the name of Jesus. Thank you, Father God. Amen. Amen. All right, let's go to our opening scripture here. We are going to be looking at the Garden of Gethsemane. So we're going to start here at Luke 22 41-44. And he was withdrawn from them about a stone's throw. And he knelt down and prayed, saying, "Father, if it is your will, take this cup away from me. Nevertheless, not my will, but yours be done." Then an angel appeared to him from heaven, strengthening him, and being in agony, he prayed more earnestly. Then his sweat became like great drops of blood falling down to the ground. I think this is gonna be one of the more emotional messages that I teach on. Uh this has been one of the ones that I kind of struggled with, but I'm very excited about it and excited to share the word. I'm hoping with this message that you have another viewpoint of who Jesus is to you because once you see the power and the authority of who he is and where he's been all this time and what he's doing, you're going to see a persona here that is just absolutely amazing. It should make you drop to the floor in all reality. So now notice, let's go back here. Let's take a look real quick. And he was withdrawn from them. them is the disciples. The garden of Gethsemane was one of Jesus' favorite places and here it is the middle of the night and he's prayed I think about 3 hours and he has asked his friends to be there and his disciples are his friends. You you have to understand Jesus has been there from the beginning and I'm going to show you scripture of this in just a moment but he's been here. So when he went to go get his disciples he was probably a little anxious because he knew them already. You have to, you see, you got to see the difference of who Jesus is here. And he's excited. So when he says, "Follow me." They followed him. These are the ones that Jesus picked to be beside him during this time. And this is going to be a rough time because here he is in the garden of Gethsemane. And he is under so much stress and pressure. So he's hoping to get a little bit out of his friends, his disciples who became apostles. These are men that followed him, knew him personally. and ended up starting the church and Christianity. So here, you know, Jesus has his buddies there, but they kept falling asleep on him. They they fell asleep. It was the middle of night. They were tired. Could be a spiritual thing, too, you know, but Jesus, he he's, you know, and one of the things I look at in this moment here in the Garden of Gethsemane is um it's kind of like a a go no type of meeting, if you will. If you ever watched a a space launch or any of the movies related to that, they have a meeting that they decide, is this the date we want to do this? Are we ready for this date? Is go or no go? They make that decision based on every division, everything there, how's everything ready? Is it all ready? And they get the headcount of everything and and they decide whether they're going to go with it. So here Jesus is in the garden of Gethsemane and he's I think coming to the realization that you know what I'm about to do something that's absolutely remarkable and the pain and the suffering that he's associated with it which he knew because he talked about in Psalms already. So this was something he was fully aware of and knew exactly what he was going to do and yet he's still sweaty blood. He's still under the pressure. So let's back up a little bit here. Let's take a look before time, before mankind even existed, before this earth existed, before the universe existed. There's God the Father, God the Son, Jesus, and God the Holy Spirit. And God the Father, you know, kind of just speaking his mind says, you know, I think I'm going to make a mankind, and I'm going to make them in my image. And the Holy Spirit says, well, I caution you because they're going to fall and rebel against you. And Jesus says, "No, I got this. I'm gonna redeem them." So here he decides, "I'm gonna do this." And he goes for it. And here we are at the moment where he now has to go through it. And I mean, look at this. He needed an angel to appear from him, from heaven, and strengthen him because he was in so much agony that he sweated great drops of blood. Do you know that in that very moment of time there's a couple things going on besides what I just spoke of? And I'm sure there's a whole lot more in the spirit that we don't even know. I I just the restraint and the self-control here is absolutely incredible. But in his mind, and I've talked about this in relation to the flood, because he got down to eight men, any eight people on the planet uh in the time of the flood that survived the flood. He could have destroyed the earth then. He could have not done this at this point. He could have not gone to the cross to shed his blood to redeem us. He could have not. And I'll show you scriptures of what he talks about there in just a moment. But at the moment that he decides he's going to do this, he's thinking of every person that chooses him, that includes me, that includes you. He's in that moment. He says, "There's Lisa. I'm going to do this for her. You got to grasp this." And look at the pain and the agony he went through. This is the moment of the garden of Gethsemane. Now, there's more to this. I want you to see the self-control he has here. But watch this. Let's go to John. Now, we're now all three gospels talk about this. And I just did Luke. Now, we're going to look at John and look at another part of what's happening here in the Garden of Gethsemane. So, now the crowd shows up. This is where Judas the Scariot brings uh the Pharisees, Sadducees, chiefs, priests and and the, you know, whomever he can gather, police, whatever they have, whatever they call it. But they come to arrest him and he makes a plan. He tells them, "I'm going to kiss the man and he's going to be the one I identify. You need to arrest him." And and by the way, the fact that they didn't know him when he had been in the synagogues teaching on the hills teaching where there were thousands of people listening to him and following him at a time tells you that when people are not spending time with Jesus, they're conniving against him. They're doing everything they can to prevent him from his movement. And the same principle that happened then is happening today. The moment you get close to Jesus, the moment that you choose to be with him and have more of him, you've got people who don't know him, don't want to know him, do not want to seek him out, conniving to keep you from getting close to him. And why? It's the enemy. But anyways, let's look at this moment here. They answered him. He asked him, "Who are you seeking?" They answered him, "Jesus of Nazareth." And Jesus said to them, "I am he." and Judas who betrayed him also stood with him. Now when he said to them, "I am he," they drew back and fell to the ground. Then he asked him again, "Whom are you seeking?" Now you got to look at this. Now remember this, this message is about when Jesus speaks, and I'm hoping that you can see the authority here. He spoke I am he for the first time in the Gospels. At least I believe that uh you can do your homework and check it out yourself. I was trying to search it and I couldn't see any place that he said that. But again, I I could be wrong. But here he is. He finally says it, you know, because they've been asking, "Who are you? Where did you come from?" And he always says, "It is as you say." I'm going to show you scriptures on that what I was able to find. But here, he he says, "I am he." and they fall down. Now, I was in a car accident over 25 years ago, nearly 30 years ago now is if I'm correct, but anyways, back then. And um I remember the stunned moment and I wasn't there. I remember coming out of it. There was an ambulance already with his lights on going to another location and he saw the accident. and he was an eyewitness to it. So, he turned around, came over, and he actually was right in front of me. And I'm sitting there, my hands on the steering wheel, and I'm not there. Physically, I am. Mentally, I'm not. And he's trying to get my attention. And this is where I'm coming out of it cuz I'm in stunned, shocked moment that I was just in an accident. And he's waving to me, trying to get my attention. And it dawns on me. Oh, he he's waving at me. and he's about to get out because he sees I'm not responding and that's when it dawns on me. Ah, he's looking for an answer for and I snap out of it and I'm like, I'm okay. I'm okay. In fact, later on the car was still drivable but the battery had broke, cracked. The acid had hit the windshield. At that moment, I didn't realize that. I had seen it and later on when I was driving and I see the stain marks around the window, the windshield, I remembered it. So there there's this moment of stunned shock that goes into you. And this is what happened with all of the people when he said, "I am he." But look what Jesus did. Soon as they fell down to the ground, he asked him again. This reminds me of the ambulance driver trying to get my attention. He says, "Whom are you seeking?" In other words, come on out of the stunness. I I didn't mean to knock you down with my words. But we need to continue on because you see he's made his decision. He's going to get arrested. He knows this. So now he's ready to move on and go to the cross and do what he needs to do. So now at this moment, now remember I told you I wanted to show you the scriptures of when he said he could call the angel. So after all of this, Peter tries to draw his sword and he actually cuts the ear off one of the men there. And Jesus puts the ear back on and heals him. Look at though here. Now we're going to Matthew. Look at this moment. Matthew 26:52-54. Because Jesus is explaining everything now. But Jesus said to him, "Put your sword in his place. For all who take the sword will perish by the sword." Or do you think that I cannot now pray to my father and he will provide me with more than 12 legions of angels? How then could the scriptures be fulfilled that it must happen thus? You see, Jesus could still be alive today. Didn't have to go through the death process. All he had to do was call on dad and say, "Hey, Dad, give me 12 legions of l uh give me a whole bunch of legions of angels." But no, he decided to go through with it. And you know, and he's showing the authority when he says, "I am he," and everybody falls down. Showing the authority. But when he picks him up and he gets everything back under control, gets control of Peter, heals the ears, in that moment, he's also taking off his cloak of authority in relation to his kingship. You see, he's not being a king right now. And in fact, this is why the Israelites um rejected him. They're looking for a king. They're looking for a man. They weren't looking for the son of God. They They called him a messiah, but they were looking for a man. A man who can be a king. And they didn't. Jesus didn't fit that profile. In his first coming, he did not. He will fit that profile at the second coming. And they're going to be in for a big surprise cuz anyways, they'll find out in the second half of the seven-year tribulation. But here Jesus takes off his kingship, puts it down, and he says, "I need to go sacrifice myself as priest." And he takes this moment to do that. And he goes on. Now look at this. He and remember this is where I wanted to talk to you about it is as you say in Mark 15 2 and Luke 23:3. So now he's he's with Pilate and he's about to be crucified. Pilot's questioning him. So again, this is like that go no-go kind of thing. Pilate asked him, "Are you the king of the Jews?" And he answered and says, "It is as you say." And here you see it in exact duplicate in Luke 23:3. Then Pilot asked him saying, "Are you the king of the Jews?" He answered says, "It is as you say." Notice he didn't say, "I am he." Because he would have knocked Pilate down to the ground. Do you see his spoken word of authority here? You see why I'm calling this message when Jesus speaks, he can speak. So he had not said, "I am he" the entire time until the garden of Gethsemane. And when he said it, he spoke with such authority it made mankind fall down to its knees. Bottom actually, if you want to get technical, they fell. That was it. So who is Jesus? Especially since he just acknowledged he's now king. He's telling Pilot, "I'm the king." It is as you say. But see what Pilate didn't understand and what the Israelites didn't understand. He says, "I'm putting down my kingship so I can be the priest because the world needs me right now. The nation of Israel needs to wait." Oh, and thank God for that because, you know, I'm not an Israelite. I'm considered a Gentile. But because I asked Jesus to be my Lord and Savior, I'm now a believer in Christ, I am now part of the kingdom of God. Technically, I'm not a Gentile anymore. I'm part of the Jewish kingdom. The Israelites will get there, but for now, Jesus established and there is his body of Christ, his bride. That's who we are. So, notice he says, "I am." And in he. Now, vocabulary is very, very interesting. Let's go look at when that word I am was used to the Israelites because again, this is another sign. Remember, you know, in all the teaching I've been teaching, I I taught that Daniel knew when Messiah would be cut off. The wise men found the Messiah and acknowledge him. John the Baptist told him. And here in the Garden of Gethsemane, he told him, "I am." This is the me that was spoken to Moses. Go back. Exodus 3:14. And God said to Moses, "I am who I am." That is Jesus talking, by the way. Jesus is God. We're going to get to that in just a moment. I am who I am. And he said, "Thus you shall say to the children of Israel, I am has sent me to you." Now, they should have known again here in the Garden of Gethsemane that this was the Messiah that they should have been looking for, but they rejected him. Oh, and he needed to be crucified. So, who is this guy that's been there? Look at what John says. John 1 verse 1-3. In the beginning was the word and the word was with God and the word was God. So you saw here in Exodus you saw he's with God. This is Jesus talking. So now John is describing him. Says he was in the beginning with God. All things were made through him and without him nothing was made that was made. All right let's follow the breadcrumbs breadcrumbs. And let's go to Genesis. Look at what Genesis says. Then God said let there be light. And there was light. Jesus said, "I am he." Jesus said, "Let there be light." And let me tell you the power and the authority here. He said, "I am." He said, "Let there be light." Did you know that sun wasn't created yet? Meaning he created light out of nothing. Oh. Oh. You got to grasp this. Understand when he says, "I am, he." He's the creator of everything, the entire universe. And he made it without the elements that we see and we take the laws of physics into existence here today that we follow that we believe in. But he says no no let there be light. The I am said let there be light. And there was light and it wasn't from the sun. It's just this light that came in. And here we are made in his image. I used this analogy before. I'm going to say it again here. How many people did it take to make a flashlight? We made light, too. But we did it with our limitations. This is See, we're in the image of God. We're a type. We're in his shadow. So, that means his spoken words of authority, but he had self-control and self-esteem. Only those people fell. Can you imagine if he just blurted out something accidentally and said, "Be gone with you, Earth." I mean, really, think about that. The the power and the authority that he has. He you got to grasp that because I am telling you, he says it. And I'm going to take you to Isaiah right now because he's also re um reinforcing this. I want you to see this. Now, this chapter is Isaiah 45. He is talking to King Cyrus through Isaiah the prophet. Now, King Cyrus didn't come into existence for like 400 years. So, Isaiah wrote this 400 years in advance. See, Jesus knew everything that was going on. This is why he in the Garden of Gethsemane could say, "But I know Lisa." You see how this all connects? This is why he said, "Let there be light. I know Lisa. I know John. I know Peter. I know Paul. You see how he set this all up? But anyways, he's talking to King Cyrus. I'm going to show you the scriptures here. When King Cyrus came to invade Jerusalem, the priest came out and uh opened up Isaiah 45, scrolled open the scroll, and he read it to King Cyrus. Josephus recorded this as a matter of fact and uh I recorded King Cyrus's response and he says something like like but the priest just let him in. In other words, there was no bloodshed. Priest said, "Come on in. You're welcome here. There was no war. No, we didn't, you know, the Israelites did not stop King Cyrus from invading, if you will." And so let's go look because God Jesus is talking and he's describing this. Watch this. So we're going to be looking at Isaiah 45 where we're looking at verse 7 and verse 12. Verse 7. I form the light and create darkness. I make peace and create calamity. I the Lord do all these things. I have made the earth and is verse 12. I have made the earth and created man on it. I my hands stretched out the heavens and all their hosts I have commanded. Now notice here he says I am I the Lord do all these things. He didn't say I am but it was a softened spoken word through Isaiah. it refrain self-control but the I am with his authority is saying and and you know did you see this I form the light and create darkness look at this I make peace and create calamity God does it all Jesus does all you know when someone asks why do bad things happen well Jesus says well I created that I cause all calamities remedies. But why? Cuz now you got to get down to the root cause. You know, here you and I, we're a type of him. We're in his image. But what is the thing that we deal with the most? Sin. What is sin? Sin is rejecting Jesus. And the more time you spend away from Jesus, the more calamities that come toward you because Jesus is trying to chastise you. He's trying to get you back into his presence. Come on in, my little child. Come in, my brother and sister in Christ. Come in. Come back to me. Don't just go to church. Spend time with me. And let's do it in in secret. Psalm 91. dwell in the secret place with the Lord and you will have all these benefits because what happens when you're dwelling in the secret place with the Lord, sin cannot join you. Sin flees. And what happens is now you've got your peace in your life. And it's because you now are having a spoken relationship with one another, which is part of dwelling in the secret place. You read his word, you read it out loud. You pray to him. You speak out loud. You confess. You speak out loud. Now, I want to also take you to another level to show you how much Jesus is because I want you to see remember I told you he says, "Let there be light." And there was light. And it wasn't because of the sun. It wasn't because of the universe. This is and notice here he says, "I my hand stretched out the heavens." He's talking about the heavens. You know, prior to the flood, the earth was different. It watered itself. There was no rain. There had never been any rain. So, it was kind of a bubble. And the people on the earth at that time could see all the stars and could see all the shapes that were out there and they can see the message of Messiah in the stars. So they had the message the entire time. But Jesus after that flood, he had to stretch the heavens. He had to change it and pull them back because now again we're where sin sin is getting more and more on this earth. He has to pull himself back to keep himself protected. So I want you to see now why this is important. Again, I'm trying to show you Jesus in a different light. Trying to get you to a new level of respect for the man of God, for the son of God who became the man of God who died and redeemed us. Amen. You hear in Revelation 6:12-4, I looked when he opened the sixth seal, and behold, there was a great earthquake. The sun became black as sackcloth of air hair. And the moon became like blood. And the stars of heaven fell to the earth as a fig tree drops its late fig when it is shaken by a mighty wind. Then the sky receded as a scroll when it is rolled up and every mountain island was moved out of its place. And if you read the rest of the scriptures, you will know that mankind looked up and said, "Oh no, get me to the caves. caves fall on me and kill me. I do not want to face him. So they call it the day of the Lord, the day of wrath. That is the event. That is actually the same event that happens in Ezekiel 38 with Gog and Magog attempting to invade Israel. God kills them. Anyways, but I want you to see how he scrolls the sky up. He does not need the universe and he does not need the sky for us to live on this planet alive and well. Because I'm going to tell you right now, we didn't float off the planet. Because his spoken word is what holds us all together. And that's what science has been trying to find all these years. And they can't find it because they refuse to go see Jesus for who he is. And Jesus keeps it a mystery from them. So here I am showing you now how powerful the authority of his spoken word is over the entire universe over us. And I'm telling you right now this is all about us there. You know there are no aliens out there. And let me let me give you why Jesus loves us so much that he chose to die for us. He doesn't need any any aliens out there. And as you can see, he pulls all that away. Now, mankind will probably be deceived by this because the enemy, the devil, the demons have been impersonating grays and greens and what have you to try to fool the world that there are aliens. So, you wouldn't accept Jesus because Jesus is the creator of all this. I don't want you to believe that. But he is the creator of all this and he has got so much power that when he acknowledges that he is he I am he. It makes people fall to the ground. That is absolutely incredible. And here he can remove the sky and we don't float off because they tell you in science that we need gravity that we need the planet to be spinning so that we don't float off. I don't know how it works, how it is, but I know that the spoken word of Jesus is the one that makes it happen. Hallelujah. So here he removes the sky. So now that you know that you have a messiah that has this kind of authority where there is nothing else, you know, and if you really want to get technical about aliens, let me show you a little insightful kind of thing here. You know, in uh I believe it's Revelation 8, for the first five months of the 7-year tribulation, people cannot die. And Jesus releases a horselike scorpion thing with a scorpion tail that stings you. And these people will suffer. And these are people that do not have the mark on them to keep them safe. The 144,000 are the ones that are going to have their mark on them. And then the two witnesses have power and authority to they'll protect themselves for three and a half years. So that's what's going on. Horse like scorpion. Does that not like sound like um the aliens from the alien movie? Maybe uh who is it? Uh Steven Spielberg that did that. I don't remember who actually George Lucas. Either one of them. Whoever came up with that idea. Oh my goodness. I bet you they were reading that and thought of that. But I'm telling you, they're not coming from another planet. You you got to understand there's a heavenly realm here that we know nothing about. We're in the flesh. We've been in this atmosphere our whole lives. We have no idea what kind of creatures are out there. We know what they're watchers. We know that they're angels. We know that there are cherubim. We know that there are serap. We know about these horselike scorpion things. What else is there? You see, you don't know. But if you go to Jesus, he will show you and he will reveal it to you. And that is the power and the authority that he has. So when you get his word, his Bible, this is his spoken word. When he speaks, it it I read it a lot, so it's pretty beat up. But when he speaks, we need to show respect because I'm telling you, he could easily stop all this. But he chooses to honor his word, honor the prophecies, and that is awesome. You have got to it's time to repent now and get close to Jesus now. Don't wait till the seven-year tribulation. You don't want to wait for that time frame because the rules all change. Everything changes at that time. And you can go read all that scripture. I just did a little teaching on that last week about two weeks ago. So I am telling you now's the time to repent and look at what confession is. Look at Romans 10:9 and 10. That if you confess with your mouth, you see, you see this? When Jesus speaks, he spoke with his mouth. He said, "I am he." People fell. When you confess with your mouth, look at this. The Lord Jesus. Lord Jesus, I confess you over my life, over the sin in my life, over my salvation, over the sickness, over the disease, over the bitterness, the the emotions, the hate, the anger or the lack of love or the love. I speak Jesus, the Lord Jesus. When you speak, you confess and believe in your heart that God has raised him from the dead. Why do you have to believe that? Because he's alive. Cuz he went to the cross. He took that moment in Garden Gethsemane and said, "I'm doing it." And he got on that cross and he gave his blood and it went down to the mercy seat and it landed on there, shook the ground and he tore the temple in the temple veil in two. And the best part of it is is he said since there's no more veil, there's no more priest that needs to come on your behalf. He says you can come to me yourself. That is what you are in the image of Jesus because you confessed the Lord Jesus. That is the power of the word of God when Jesus speaks. For with the heart, he tells you what the consequences are. With the heart, one believes unto righteousness. And with the mouth, confession is made into salvation. The saving part takes place. When you speak it, when the heart believes, the righteousness goes forth. Oh, hallelujah. And you know what? We need to be in righteousness because that is those of us that get into that place are the ones that God takes with him. We don't have to go through that seven-year tribulation. In fact, we're rejecting the invitation to it. Cuz those that are alive on the day of the Lord, the day of wrath, they're the ones that if they never confess Jesus the Lord God, the son of God, they got to uh be here for the seven-year tribulation. And I'm going to tell you right now, most people will die during that time. What comes out of it is just a few people. Kind of like the flood. In fact, he says that man will be finer than of gold. I don't know what of gold is, but there'll be enough people to repopulate the earth and they'll have a thousand years to repopulate. And they will. You can go read that. That's all in Revelation. You can go read all that. But it is time to confess. It is time to speak because you have that same authority. Now, do you have to have that self restraint? Yeah. Because now you got to think that guy cuts you off on the freeway. Lord, I bless him. Lord, I bless him with better education in in driving. And you see how you can manipulate the situation. That is your confession of that moment. And it brings salvation. And you know what? It's going to save somebody from being killed later on when the guy doesn't learn from his same mistakes that he does. Guy, gal, whoever's driving. But you can see how that application applies there. How it works there. You guys, this is the time to confess. This is the time to understand the authority who Jesus is because I mean, he can remove the universe and we can still be here. That earns my respect and I hope it earns yours as well. Now is the time. Say it with me. Dear Jesus, I confess you as a son of God and I ask you to forgive me of my sins. Come into my heart and be my Lord and Savior. Thank you, Father God. Thank you, Jesus, for teaching me how to get saved in Jesus' name. Amen. All right. Well, I love this message. I hope that you enjoy it as well. Let's close in a word of prayer now. And Father God, if there's anyone who did confess you here and now, Lord, I plant the seed in them. And I say, I bless that seed that it will mature and grow and be watered by your word and that individual will seek you and continue to seek you each and every day and live for you and believe in you. Thank you, Father God. And Lord, we bless the word again and we thank you for your word because you are powerful. Oh, and awesome in the name of Jesus. Amen. God bless you and I will see you in the next message. Bye-bye. Previous Next Home
