EVE - RESTORING DYSFUNCTIONAL RELATIONSHIPS To teach how God’s design for relationships can be restored when dysfunction arises, using the biblical accounts of Adam, Eve, Cain, and Abel. The message emphasizes the authority believers have through Christ to overcome sin, heal brokenness, and walk in self-control by applying confession, forgiveness, and communion with God. EVE - RESTORING DYSFUNCTIONAL RELATIONSHIPS Minister Lisa Kane May 23, 2024 Objective: To teach how God’s design for relationships can be restored when dysfunction arises, using the biblical accounts of Adam, Eve, Cain, and Abel. The message emphasizes the authority believers have through Christ to overcome sin, heal brokenness, and walk in self-control by applying confession, forgiveness, and communion with God. Synopsis: In this third teaching on Eve within the Women in the Bible series, Lisa Kane explores the theme of Restoring Dysfunctional Relationships. She begins with a review of God’s perfect design for relationships in creation, showing how Adam and Eve’s formation reflects divine order, covering, and mutual submission under Christ. This pattern extends to all areas of life—marriage, family, friendships, and even workplace connections. The message then shifts to the account of Cain and Abel as an example of dysfunction. Cain’s rejection of God’s requirement for a blood sacrifice led to offense, anger, and ultimately murder. Lisa highlights how God warned Cain that sin was at the door, but also gave him the authority to rule over it. The teaching shows that dysfunction often begins within the individual when hurt and anger go unchecked, but restoration is possible through Christ. Key steps are outlined: Confession of Jesus as Lord brings deliverance, healing, and salvation. Holy Communion reminds believers of Christ’s sacrifice, applying the broken body for healing and the blood for cleansing. Forgiveness and letting go of anger stop sin in its tracks. Self-control (temperance), a fruit of the Spirit, empowers believers to walk in love, peace, and restoration. Lisa emphasizes that relationships—whether with family, spouses, coworkers, or oneself—can be healed by bringing them back under Christ’s covering. Through prayer, confession, and reliance on the Spirit, dysfunctional patterns are broken, sin is defeated, and God’s perfect design for relationships is restored. Inspired Teaching - Written and/or Transcribed from Video Above: Hello and welcome to the House of Faith Ministries. I'm Lisa Kane. I'm recording this on Thursday, May 23rd, 2024. Welcome. I'm still in the Women of Bible, Women in the Bible series, and I'm still in Eve. This will be the third message regarding Eve. But wow, the power and all the revelation coming out of this is incredible. This one is called Restoring Dysfunctional Relationships. Let's open up in a word of prayer. Father God, we thank you for your word and we bless your word that your word does not return void. We pray that your word is so powerful and strong that it impacts our lives and we apply it to our lives and live your word and have great relationships with one another, with ourselves and with you in the name of Jesus. Amen. So to recap, the first message I taught about Eve was being born again, showing you how Jesus set up the born again process beginning with her very neat revelation. You might want to go check that out. The last message or second message that I taught regarding Eve was the perfect relationship that God established with us, which I'm going to do a quick recap here. And then this one is about dysfunctional relationships, restoring that dysfunctional relationship. So, let's go to our opening scripture because I want to do a quick recap here. Uh, Genesis 1:27. So, God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him. Male and female created he them. So male and female make up the image of God. Now how they were formed, Adam and Eve, how they were created teaches us what the perfect relationship is. So Adam was formed in Genesis 2:7. And the Lord God formed man of the dust and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life and man became a living soul. So that's how Adam was created. And then Eve in Genesis 2:21-24, the Lord God caused the deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept, and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof. And the rib which the Lord God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto man. And Adam said, "This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh. She shall be called woman, because she was taken out of man. And therefore shall a man leave his father and and his mother and shall cleave unto his wife and they shall be one flesh. So basically what you're seeing here is Adam's covering goes upon her. So it's like his arm is over her shoulders and then she is tucked right in next to his heart which is protected by the rib cage. Since she's made from the rib, she's part of protector over him. She protects his vitals on the inside. She prays for him. And I showed you in last week's message of teaching how to have the perfect relationship, how to submit to one another. So you'll see that Adam leaves his parents. He's going to cleave to his wife. But both male and female have to look to Christ. Christ is who we follow. So we let go of the traditions of our parents. We cling to Christ. Christ is head of the church. Christ is head of the man. Man is head of the woman. It is a hierarchy power of authority that goes on him. But in that perfect relationship, she submits unto him. She submits unto God. He submits unto God. He loves her and covers her. So you have this established perfect relationship that God has set for us to follow. And this applies to siblings, parents, grandparents, to one another, between you and your boss, between you and your best friend, between you and yourself, and between you and God. This is a relationship that he has established. And how do you have a relationship? You talk with one another. You work it out. You open up the word of God and apply the scriptures. So, for instance, if you do what we taught last week, you need to have a relationship with God first. That means you got to set a time aside for him. Set time aside for him. You need to be praying and you need to be opening up the word of God and you need to be learning it, speaking it and let it just manifest out of you. Now that's between now you apply that in every one of your relationships, mother, daughter, father, daughter, uh siblings and so forth. Well, unfortunately, we have what's called dysfunctional relationships. And it always starts with you, me, the individual, because we sabotage our relationships either knowingly or unknowingly. So, I'm going to show you the perfect dysfunctional relationship where God shows us we have authority over fixing that and correcting it. This is awesome. Talk about the revelation that came out of Eve. This is absolutely incredible. So, let's go see Cain and Abel. Perfect dysfunctional relationship if there ever was one. Genesis 4:4-7. And Abel, he also brought of the first lanes of his flock and of the fat thereof. And the Lord had respect unto Abel and to his offering. Now, that word respect there means to regard, spare, turn. Abel brought a blood sacrifice to God. He took his firstborn of his cattle, whatever animals that he had, he brought that to God and he did a burnt offering to God and he sacrificed them. He shed blood and God was like, "Yeah, I like this. This is what needs to be done." Well, Cain brought he went out and harvested his fruits and vegetables and he brought baskets, however many, but he brought those to God representing his work. He toiled the ground and he worked hard for that. He sweated and God said, "Nope." Because God, what God is saying here is, "I don't want your works. Your works are not going to save you." Do you see the salvation message still through here? Being born again, this all connects together. I hope you guys watch all three messages together. This is incredible. So here God is telling Cain, you cannot save yourself with your works. You have to do what your brother did. Bring the blood sacrifice. But something happens here that causes a relationship to fall. Let's go look at that because Cain is very offended here. Uh verse five, but Cain but unto Cain and to his offer he had not respect and Cain was very wroth and his countenance fell. And the Lord said unto Cain, "Why art thou wroth?" And that word wroth there means glow, grow, warm anger. In other words, he was angry inside so much that his blood pressure is rising and his shade of color is changing. He's now glowing. He's angry. God rejected him. Now, in a dysfunctional relationship, a lot of things goes on. A lot of things take place and happen here where uh you're hurt. It usually starts with you're getting hurt. Somebody didn't like something you said or did. You didn't mean it that way. And and it usually starts with some little spark like that. And instead of showing the authority and dealing with it, which I'm going to show you here what God says, you get angry. Now, we can get angry. The issue is after you get angry, you need to have some self-control and bring that anger back unto God. We're going to see how Cain did not do that. So look at this and I'm going to show you how to bring it back. So why are thou So the Lord said unto Cain, "Why are thou wroth and why is thy countenance fallen?" So verse seven, this is God talking to Cain still. If thou doest well, happy, successful, right? See, if you did the right thing, you're going to be successful. You're going to be in the right standing. It's going to be good. It's going to be well. But you see, we don't always do the right thing. This is us trying to sabotage things because it's the sin that is waring inside of us doing this. So he says, "And if thou doest not well, sin lith at the door, and unto thee shall be his desire." That's sin desiring stretching out, trying to reach through the door to get you, and thou shalt rule over him. You have rule and dominion over sin on the other side of the door is what God is saying here. So in other words, as soon as you get angry, you open the door and sin is right there on the other side, but sin is pulling its arm through the door and is trying to grab you. So you're in this moment, this heated moment of anger, and you are in a state of mind where you need to get some self-control. And we're going to talk about getting some self-control here in a moment. Somebody didn't like something you said. They don't like the way you look. They're in a bad mood today. So, they don't want to have anything to do with you and your happiness. You see, there are all kinds of things that set off or trigger a person. Now, if you're the one being triggered, then it's a demonic. It is sin at the door. And it is sin you need to deal with. And what takes care of sin? Abel established that by the sacrifice of the blood because life is in the blood. Leviticus, let's go there. Look at Leviticus 17:11. For the life of the flesh is in the blood, and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement to cover or cancel for your souls. For it is the blood that maketh an atonement for the soul. So you see, you can get angry, but you got to come back to the blood. You got to go back to Abel. So in other words, do all the works that you want to do, but it ain't going to do you anything. You can try so hard to speak the right words. You can try so hard to bury that anger. You can try so hard to not be a trigger. You can drink as many cups of coffee as you want, thinking that might make you a little happier and give you the energy that you need. But it comes back to the blood. And what do you do with the blood? You have to come back to the cross to holy communion. Now, it starts with confession. And I want you to remember this because now I'm going to take you through some steps of how to get back into the right relationship with God or with yourself or with your lover or with your spouse or with your brother or sister with your parent, your grandparent or with businesses or with your life with you yourself. If you argue with yourself, I typically don't argue with myself, but I do have conversations with myself. I talk to myself all the time. But I give it to the Lord and I just I look and it helps me bounce off the thoughts and ideas with the word of God. That's what I use that for. But however you want to have your relationships, it's going to come back to you need to make a sacrifice of blood. Well, hold on. Christ made the sacrifice of blood. So it takes back going to the cross. And it starts with confession. And remember, salvation is through the confession of the mouth. This is what delivers. This is what heals. This is what saves. Now I want you to see this. Romans 10:9 says that if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus. He's saying you got to speak it out loud. Jesus. So if Cain, he could have, you know what Cain could have done was, I'm sorry, Lord, I did this wrong. Please forgive me. And you know what? God would have done it and it would have been established. Would have been able to go on. Abel Abel would not have been killed. You see, Cain was so angry and sin came through the door, grabbed a hold of him. He could not let it go because he did not confess, he ends up murdering Abel. And because now Abel's blood is crying out to God, avenge me. God knew exactly what happened. God told Cain exactly. You see, Adam and Eve had been teaching Cain and Abel the ways of God. They're raising their children up in the ways of God. Abel was doing it right. Abel got the message. He knew it was blood. Cain said, "Well, you know what? I'm going to one up him and I'm going to work hard for this and God's going to love it." But he was wrong. And instead of confessing, he just got angry and and notice he was angry at God. But he couldn't do anything to God. So, he went after Abel. This is when you're in anger, you lash out at anyone who didn't even have anything to do with why you're angry. You just lash at them. You're a mean, ugly person on the inside. This is why I said it starts with you on the inside. So, if somebody's lashing out at you, you're the one in the self-control, hopefully, or you're the one that's lashing out. Whatever role you're in, it starts with confession. Let's go back to the scripture that if thou shalt confess with confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus and shall believe in thine heart that God raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. Look at the word saved. Delivered, protected, healed, preserved, whole. Cain could have come back and had forgiveness and mercy. Instead, he chose not to. So now once you confess Jesus over your life and you can confess Jesus over your anger, your hatred, and and the hurt you're feeling, you're hurt. Most people are lashing out because somebody hurt them for one reason or another. Um attacked them, rejected them, rejected their kind of love, uh didn't like the, you know, they were in love with you initially, got what they wanted, and then left you in the wind. There's lots of relationships like that. Uh if your family, money becomes an issue, you guys are fighting against that. Um but it's sin that's come in and it starts with confessing Jesus Lord as Lord of your s of your soul. Jesus over your soul. Jesus over your mouth. Jesus over your hate. Jesus over your unforgiveness. You see, part of the relationship is to forgive. And in order to forgive, you need to have self-control. So, we're going to get into that here in just a moment, but I want you to see how holy communion takes us back to the cross to restore us. And I want you to catch this is very powerful. 1 Corinthians 11:24 and 25. And when he had given thanks, he broke it and said, "Take, eat. This is my body which is broken for you. This do in remembrance of me." He's talking about the bread. So, he's taking bread. He's breaking pieces of of it off and he shares it at the table there with his apostles uh and his disciples and they are taking the bread and they're eating it in remembrance of what Christ is going to do on the cross. So Jesus is telling us and Paul's reiterating here when you do this, you do this in remembrance of Christ. So you confess Jesus as your Lord and Savior, but you're going to recognize that Christ went to the cross for your healing, your deliverance. See, you are healed spiritually and physically by the broken bread. You're healed physically because of the stripes. By his stripes, you were healed. You're also healed because of spiritually. If you're in anger, you can let go of the anger by partaking and taking the bread, the bread. Taking Christ, bringing Christ back into you. You're saying, "Jesus, I remember you in the cross. Jesus, I'm taking your bread into my body to restore and heal me spiritually and physically because I need it because I'm angry. I'm hurt. Somebody's hurt me and I'm upset about it. I need your help. This is how you take your dysfunctional relationship back to Christ. Now look what he says about the blood. Verse 25. After the same manner also he took the cup when he as saying, "This cup is the new testament covenant in my blood. This do ye as often as you drink it in remembrance of me. Covenant. You see, Jesus came and made a new covenant with mankind. Now remember back in the days before the flood, they were dealing with innocence and God judged them with the flood. So that part was already taken. But the new covenant is Christ through his blood. God has been asking for blood this entire time. Now the blood is where life is and Christ is life. And remember, I proved in the first teaching that Christ is the one who said, "Let there be light." He's the one who's forming man and manifesting life in them because Christ is life. The word became flesh and the word was with God in the beginning. John 1:1. This is Christ manifesting life. So what you do when you take the holy communion, you're saying, "Christ the life, come back into me. heal me, restore me physically, spiritually, and let the blood cleanse me because that's what the blood does. Now remember, and let's go look at how the principle works here. I want you to see this. Romans 7:21-25. And I find then a law, a principle that when I would do good, evil is present with me. For I delight or rejoice in the law of God after the inward man. I think I hit that too many times. Let's go back. There you go. But I see another law principle in my members waring against or attacking destroying the law of my mind and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members. Remember sin is at the door. The door opened because of the anger. So there's a war going on because we were born into sin. You see Cain hadn't sinned yet. But we were born on the other side of the door. Sin was let in when Adam and Eve sinned. So the door was open and Cain had an opportunity to avoid it and he didn't. Again, we have an opportunity to avoid a dysfunctional relationship if we choose to walk away from sin, which means confess Jesus as our Lord and Savior. Take of the cup, the broken bread, and the blood. bring life back into our bodies. Forgive. We have to let it go. That's what the word forgive means, by the way, is to let go of the anger. You could be all right and justify it all you want, but I'm going to tell you right now, that don't mean a thing. You let the sin in. And you have to deal with the sin. Doesn't matter if you're right. You got angry and you felt justified. You still let in sin. You have to deal with that sin. And to do that, you have to do this battle. Look what Paul's describing it as. I want you to see this. This is so very powerful. He says, "But I see another law in my members, waring against the law of my mind and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members. Oh wretched man that I am. Who shall deliver rescue me from the body of this death? I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord." So then with the mind, the intellect, I myself serve the law of God, but with the flesh, the law of sin. So you see, there's a battle going on. You've got sin that you have to deal with that's in the flesh. But your mind can shut that door by calling, confessing Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior because Jesus is the one who fulfilled all of this. He's the one who applied the perfect blood to the mercy seat in the ark of the covenant. So because of that the satisfaction, God had satisfaction with the blood of Jesus. It met the law. It fulfilled it. It was done. So now all we have is grace, confession of Jesus as our Lord and Savior and letting it go. We have the authority. You saw that God gave the authority to Cain to dominion and to have dominion over sin. And the best part of it is is after you do this, even though you're still fighting in that flesh and you're still struggling, because we struggle every day with the attacks on our mind, we can sometimes fantasize about things that happen in relationships that don't. This is why some of us, I'm certain my man is cheating on me or doing this or doing that. You have no proof. You think it. You got to capture your mind and get it under self-control. Look at what he says though. As soon as you confess Jesus, because that was Romans 7, the last end of the verse of Romans 7. Now we're in Romans 8:1 and2. It says, "There is therefore now no condemnation. There's no verdict to them which are in Christ Jesus." You see, sin is the devil going to the courtroom of God and saying, "See, he did this. He did this. He did this." Christ is saying, "I forgive. I forgive. I forgive." And if you're going to be Christlike, you need to forgive yourself of these hatred, sinful uh relationships that you're sabotaging. You have to forgive yourself. You've got to for let Christ forgive you. And then you have to have this mindset. Look, it says, "Now there is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the spirit." See, you confess Jesus. Now you walk in the spirit. Because when you get water baptized, you're watered. You go under in the water, you come up in the spirit. So you can see how being born again, confessing Jesus, getting baptized, having holy communion, and coming up in the spirit, walking in the spirit, this is you having a perfect relationship with Christ. Your mind can say, "Now there is no condemnation because I'm in Christ Jesus and I'm walking after the spirit." Verse two, for the law of the spirit of life in Christ Jesus, For the law of the spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death. Death. You are liberated from sin and death. Cain wandered the rest of his life wandered the wilderness and was never satisfied and never was able to get what he needed out of the ground. He wandered and he was destroyed. That was his life. You do not want that kind of life. You do not live in the wilderness. You are now liberated because there is no more condemnation. Oh death. Oh death, where is your sting? You see, you're saved the moment you confess Jesus. You're saved spiritually, eternally in heaven. But you're also saved out of those dysfunctional relationships. You're saved out of the sickness that comes from it in your flesh. You are saved because you confess Jesus. You confess Jesus. You confess Jesus and you forgive and you let it go. And you've taken the Holy Communion, which is what restores you every time because it reminds you to go back to the cross every single time. Now, here's the key. Because you want to have that self-control. Look, Galatians 5:22 and 23. But the fruit of the spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance. Against such against such there is no law. Temperance is self-control. All of these fruits should be manifesting out of you. You see, you should be able to confess Jesus and ask God to come into your heart and ask for the gift, the fruits of the spirit. Say, "Lord, I need some self-control. Help me not get angry. Help my mind stay focused on you. I don't want to be fantasizing about what someone could be doing behind my back or someone's lying and cheating behind my back." Or if I think that, then I should be praying for them, forgiving them and giving them to Christ and then forgive myself. That is the type of relationship that Christ has for us today. So if you are the one that's acting out, you need to confess and bring it back to the Lord. If you're the one confessing, then when someone lashes out to you, you need to pray for them and give them to Christ and let it go. And it stops sin in its tracks. But the self-control is what you need so you don't lash out in anger. Because if you're lashing out in anger, all you're doing is just feeding the sin with fire and it's just gonna because that's what it does. But remember, let's go back to Cain. Let's go back to what God said. He says, "If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted? And if thou doest not well, sin lith at the door. And unto thee shall be his desire." See, sin wants to get us. and thou shalt rule over him. You have dominion over sin. You have the authority. All you got to do is say, "Jesus, help me. Jesus, help me have self-control. Jesus, keep me from temptation." The Lord's Prayer. Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. and forgive us our debts as we forgive those uh forgive us our as we forgive those the debtors against us keep us from evil and deliver us keep us from the temptations and deliver us I'm paraphrasing that you can go look it up I just it's an impromptu thing I did here so I don't have the scripture here but I encourage you to go read that prayer talk to God establish your relationship with him so he works in you a good work and you're helping him because confessing Jesus over your anger, your hatred, your your unforgiveness, even the right thinking. You think you're right. Hey, God's always going to find something wrong with you. We're we're in the flesh. We're human. But what we can do is confess Jesus, praise him, worship him, walk with him, have that holy communion so that we stay reminded of what he did on the cross, reminded of the dominion over sin that he has given us. We have the right to fight sin off. And it's an ongoing battle. Which means though, we can have a right to the perfect relationship that God designed for us. The man's covering over us. He's not beating us because we're in the crook of his arm. He loves us. We're protecting his vitals by praying and keeping sin out. praying for our man, praying for our woman. Because we go to God with our issues. We go to God with our relationships. We say, "In Jesus, I pray for my husband. In the name of Jesus, I pray for my wife. In the name of Jesus, I pray for my children. In the name of Jesus, I pray for my parents. In the name of Jesus, I pray for my siblings." And what's happening is you're looking to God, which is what the image of God, ma, male and female, have been created to do for that perfect relationship. So you can take the anger, the hatred, the the dysfunctional, sabotaged relationships around you and bring them right back to Jesus. Take your holy community to have that relationship with Christ. stand with Christ and put Christ first in your heart and in your mouth. Let Christ be spoken out first in your mouth because it's what you have a cloud of witnesses that are around you. So, I I wasn't going to go into this, but that cloud of witness is God. It's Jesus, the Holy Spirit, angels, demons. They're out there watching you and they take advantage of you. Especially demons, they're looking for the words that you're going to say that's going to let them have that door open for them so that sin can reach its hand out and grab you. Well, I'm shutting that door. I don't want sin there. Yeah, I'm I'm right about this relationship, but you know what? Uh-uh. Shutting the door. I'm going to go to Christ and just pray. I'm gonna let the spirit handle it because it's not my by works. It's by the blood and the spirit is came from the blood. Jesus established the church with water and blood and then he sent the spirit for the day of Pentecost right after that. That's how this works. This is the perfect relationship that you can have and bring it back to that perfect relationship. And I hope that you do that. Amen. Let's uh close in a word of prayer. Father God, we thank you for your word and we bless your word. You are mighty and holy. And I pray that we call upon the name of the Lord and are saved from anger, from hatred, from unforgiveness. And I pray that we have self-control to be able to confess Jesus over our relationships and that we can walk in that perfect relationship with you, Father God. For you truly are amazing, glorious, and faithful and wonderful. Oh Lord, we love you. Thank you, Lord. Let this message not be stolen by the devil. Let it stay in our minds and hearts and let us apply it in our lives in the name of Jesus. Amen. Amen. God bless you. I'll see you in the next message. Bye-bye. Home Previous Next

COVERING OF THE BLOOD To reveal the divine power, purpose, and protection found in the sacrifice of Jesus’ blood, connecting the Old Testament Passover covering to the New Covenant finished work of Christ. This message equips believers to understand how the blood of Jesus shields them from the destroyer, empowers them to reject the voice of the thief, and positions them to walk in forgiveness, righteousness, and abundant life through faith in Christ. COVERING OF THE BLOOD Minister Lisa Kane December 4, 2025 Objective: To reveal the divine power, purpose, and protection found in the sacrifice of Jesus’ blood, connecting the Old Testament Passover covering to the New Covenant finished work of Christ. This message equips believers to understand how the blood of Jesus shields them from the destroyer, empowers them to reject the voice of the thief, and positions them to walk in forgiveness, righteousness, and abundant life through faith in Christ. Synopsis: In The Covering of the Blood, Minister Lisa walks us through God’s unchanging pattern of protection and redemption—from the lamb’s blood brushed on the doorposts in Exodus to the precious blood Jesus shed on the cross for every believer today. We begin with the first Passover, where God instructed Israel to cover their homes with the blood of an innocent lamb. That blood stopped the destroyer in his tracks. It was a visible, outward covering—declaring, “This house belongs to God.” John the beloved later reveals the deeper fulfillment: Jesus is the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world. His blood becomes our covering. His sacrifice—poured out outside the gate—mirrors the blood applied on the outside of Israel’s homes. The message is clear: the blood of Jesus covers, protects, sanctifies, and separates us from the reach of the destroyer. Scripture identifies this destroyer as the thief who comes to steal, kill, and destroy. His access into our lives often comes through agreement—when we repeat his lies with our words. But when we agree with God’s Word, we close the door to the enemy’s influence and step under divine protection. As Psalm 17 declares, the word of God keeps us from the path of the destroyer. Through Jesus’ sacrifice—His side pierced, His blood and water poured out—we are forgiven, covered, blessed, and made righteous. The believer who stands under the blood can boldly say, “Not today, Satan.” The destroyer cannot cross the boundary of the blood. This message concludes with an invitation to receive the covering of Jesus’ blood personally through prayer—opening the door to forgiveness, protection, and new life. And from that moment forward, the believer can confidently declare: “Jesus, today is Your day over my life. Keep me whole.” Inspired Teaching - Written and/or Transcribed from Video Above: Exodus 12:21-23 NKJV 21 Then Moses called for all the elders of Israel and said to them, “Pick out and take lambs for yourselves according to your families, and kill the Passover lamb. 22 And you shall take a bunch of hyssop, dip it in the blood that is in the basin, and strike the lintel and the two doorposts with the blood that is in the basin. And none of you shall go out of the door of his house until morning. 23 For the Lord will pass through to strike the Egyptians; and when He sees the blood on the [g]lintel and on the two doorposts, the Lord will pass over the door and not allow the destroyer to come into your houses to strike you. In the Old Testament, blood sacrifices were necessary because Jesus, the lamb of God had not been sacrificed yet. Notice what the blood does…it’s prevents the destroyer from entering. John 1:29 NKJV 29 The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him, and said, “Behold! The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world! Jesus represents the lamb of the Old Testament that used when Moses, following God’s leadership was leading the people out of Egypt. He died on the cross to cover us with His blood so that the destroyer will not destroy us. Hebrews 13:12-16 NKJV 12 Therefore Jesus also, that He might [c]sanctify the people with His own blood, suffered outside the gate. 13 Therefore let us go forth to Him, outside the camp, bearing His reproach. 14 For here we have no continuing city, but we seek the one to come. 15 Therefore by Him let us continually offer the sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of our lips, [d]giving thanks to His name. 16 But do not forget to do good and to share, for with such sacrifices God is well pleased. The author of Hebrews makes an interesting point here. He’s stating the sacrifice Jesus made was outside the gate. Remember, the blood that placed on the doorposts and lintels…the blood was sprinkled on the outside, not the inside. The blood becomes an outside covering over us keeping us from being destroyed. Exodus 12:23 NKJV 23 For the Lord will pass through to strike the Egyptians; and when He sees the blood on the [a]lintel and on the two doorposts, the Lord will pass over the door and not allow the destroyer to come into your houses to strike you. So, who is the destroyer? John 10:10 NKJV 10 The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly. The thief is. Psalm 50:16-23 NKJV 16 But to the wicked God says: “What right have you to declare My statutes, Or take My covenant in your mouth, 17 Seeing you hate instruction And cast My words behind you? 18 When you saw a thief, you consented[c] with him, And have been a partaker with adulterers. 19 You give your mouth to evil, And your tongue frames deceit. 20 You sit and speak against your brother; You slander your own mother’s son. 21 These things you have done, and I kept silent; You thought that I was altogether like you; But I will rebuke you, And set them in order before your eyes. 22 “Now consider this, you who forget God, Lest I tear you in pieces, And there be none to deliver: 23 Whoever offers praise glorifies Me; And to him who orders his conduct aright I will show the salvation of God.” The thief is sneaky and can sound like someone to listen to or be influenced by, but in order for him to succeed, we need to give him permission with our words. When you agree with his lies, you are against God. Psalm 17:4 NKJV 4 Concerning the works of men, By the word of Your lips, I have kept away from the paths of the destroyer. But when you agree with God, you are kept from the destroyer. This is what the sacrifice of blood did for you and me. John 19:34 NKJV 34 But one of the soldiers pierced His side with a spear, and immediately blood and water came out. Jesus poured out His blood and covered us. Psalm 32:1-2 NKJV Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, Whose sin is covered. 2 Blessed is the man to whom the Lord does not [b]impute iniquity, And in whose spirit there is no deceit. Romans 4:5-8 NKJV 5 But to him who does not work but believes on Him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is accounted for righteousness, 6 just as David also describes the blessedness of the man to whom God imputes righteousness apart from works: 7 “Blessed are those whose lawless deeds are forgiven, And whose sins are covered; 8 Blessed is the man to whom the Lord shall not impute sin.” Do you need the destroyer to stop interfering in your life? The time is now to ask Jesus to forgive you and to cover you with His blood. It’s easy. Say this prayer out loud: Dear Jesus, I’m sorry. I messed up and I ask You to forgive me of my sins and to cover me with Your blood. Keep the destroyer away from me. In Jesus’ Name Amen! Now, and from this day forward, you can say out loud – not today Satan, and he must flee! And after saying that, I would say too: Jesus, today is Your day over my life. Keep me whole.

WHAT A CHRISTIAN FIGHTS AGAINST - PART 2 The objective of this lesson is to help believers understand the deeper realities of the Christian battle described in Ephesians 6:12, moving beyond the struggle against flesh and blood to confront powers, rulers of darkness, and spiritual wickedness in high places. By examining Scripture, we will learn who these powers are, their limitations under God’s authority, and how Jesus Christ has already triumphed over them through the cross. This teaching aims to equip Christians with the knowledge that light always overcomes darkness, that spiritual authority is found in Christ, and that victory is secured by putting on the whole armor of God, seeking His kingdom first, and standing firm in prayer and faith. WHAT A CHRISTIAN FIGHTS AGAINST - PART 2 Minister Lisa Kane October 1, 2025 Objective: The objective of this lesson is to help believers understand the deeper realities of the Christian battle described in Ephesians 6:12, moving beyond the struggle against flesh and blood to confront powers, rulers of darkness, and spiritual wickedness in high places. By examining Scripture, we will learn who these powers are, their limitations under God’s authority, and how Jesus Christ has already triumphed over them through the cross. This teaching aims to equip Christians with the knowledge that light always overcomes darkness, that spiritual authority is found in Christ, and that victory is secured by putting on the whole armor of God, seeking His kingdom first, and standing firm in prayer and faith. Synopsis: In What a Christian Fights Against – Part 2, Minister Lisa Kane continues unpacking Ephesians 6:12 by exploring the believer’s struggle against powers, rulers of darkness, and spiritual wickedness in high places. Through passages in Romans, Colossians, and the Gospels, this teaching shows that while earthly and spiritual authorities exist, their power is limited under God and cannot separate us from His love. Jesus Christ has already disarmed principalities and powers, triumphing over them at the cross, and through Him we are made complete and victorious. Darkness is overcome by walking in the light, and spiritual wickedness is defeated by seeking God first, guarding our hearts, and putting on the whole armor of God. This message calls believers to prayer, perseverance, and steadfast faith in Christ, knowing that through Him, we overcome. Inspired Teaching - Written and/or Transcribed from Video Above: Ephesians 6:12 KJV 12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. In part 1, I spoke on how we don’t fight against flesh and blood but that we do fight against principalities. Now, let’s continue in Ephesians 6:12 – ‘against powers’. We fight against powers. I have some questions…who and what are these powers, and how do we fight against them? Romans 13:1 KJV Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God. According to Strong’s Hebrew/Greek Dictionary – Power (exousia / ex-oo-see'-ah in Greek) in Romans 13:1 means: From G1832 (in the sense of ability); privilege, that is, (subjectively) force, capacity, competency, freedom, or (objectively) mastery (concretely magistrate, superhuman, potentate, token of control), delegated influence: - authority, jurisdiction, liberty, power, right, strength. Powers are those in authority, and according to Romans 13:1, the powers that be are ordained by God. Even though they are in authority under God, they have limitations. For example, they do not have authority to separate us from the love of God. Romans 8:38-39 KJV 38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, 39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. Colossians 2:9-15 KJV 9 For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. 10 And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power: 11 In whom also ye are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ: 12 Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead. 13 And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses; 14 Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross; 15 And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it. Did you see in verse 2 of Colossians chapter 2? We are complete in Him, and He is the head of all principality and powers. In verse 12 and 13, we’re buried with Him in His baptism and we’re dead to sin. He took all of the principalities and powers and nailed them to His cross according to verse 14, in essence nullifying these principalities and powers. So, through Jesus, we overcome the principalities and powers that are subject to God. Continuing in Ephesians 6:12 KJV 12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Next, we fight against rulers of the darkness of this world. John 1:5 KJV 5 And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not. Darkness consist of the things that are against God but the moment we accept Jesus as our Lord and savior, we overcome the darkness, just like we overcome the principalities and powers. 1 John 1:7 KJV 7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin. Colossians 1:12-14 KJV 12 Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light: 13 Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son: 14 In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins: Light exposes the darkness. We fight against darkness by shining our light into the world. Matthew 5:14 KJV 14 Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. We stand with Jesus, and we defeat the darkness. Continuing in Ephesians 6:12 KJV 12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. The last item in Ephesians 6:12 that we fight against are spiritual wickedness in high places. A high place, lofty or haughty is the center of your being. What is most important to you? Money, prestige, self? How do you fight against this? Ephesians 6:10-11 KJV 10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. 11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. Psalm 51:10 KJV 10 Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me. Romans 10:9 KJV 9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. The theme throughout Ephesians 6:12 is to put Jesus in our lives first and then we overcome. We overcome by simply aligning ourselves with Jesus. Matthew 6:33 KJV 33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. As you can see from Romans 10:9 and Matthew 6:33, speak Jesus as Lord over your soul, spirit, and body. Seek His Kingdom first and His Righteousness second, and you will overcome. Ask God to change your heart and be clean like David did. Take that armor, pray and stand. Ephesians 6:10-18 KJV 10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. 11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. 13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. 14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; 15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; 16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. 17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: 18 Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints; Pray. Pray fervently. Keep our eyes fixed on Jesus and we overcome through Him. Colossians 3:2 KJV 2 Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. Colossians 3:17 KJV 17 And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him. Philippians 2:10 KJV 10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; Place Jesus first in your life and you overcome through Jesus, and this is what and how we fight as believers in Christ. The question I have for you is ‘do you believe’? When we believe, we overcome. Home Previous Next

CHRIST IS PREACHED The objective of this teaching is to demonstrate that the preaching of Christ, whether motivated by love or by contention, still serves to advance the gospel. By examining Paul’s letter to the Philippians alongside Jesus’ words in Matthew, the lesson encourages believers, teachers, and ministers to prioritize preaching with love while recognizing that God can still work through imperfect motives. Ultimately, the aim is to strengthen faith, inspire boldness, and emphasize that Christ is magnified both in life and in death. CHRIST IS PREACHED Minister Lisa Kane August 27, 2025 Objective: The objective of this teaching is to demonstrate that the preaching of Christ, whether motivated by love or by contention, still serves to advance the gospel. By examining Paul’s letter to the Philippians alongside Jesus’ words in Matthew, the lesson encourages believers, teachers, and ministers to prioritize preaching with love while recognizing that God can still work through imperfect motives. Ultimately, the aim is to strengthen faith, inspire boldness, and emphasize that Christ is magnified both in life and in death. Synopsis: In Christ is Preached, Lisa Kane explores Paul’s message to the Philippians, highlighting how his imprisonment not only spread the gospel to new places like the palace but also emboldened others to preach with greater confidence. Paul acknowledges that some preach Christ with motives of envy and strife, while others do so out of love. Yet, he rejoices regardless, affirming that the central truth remains—Christ is being preached. The teaching then bridges Paul’s perspective with Jesus’ words in Matthew 5:17-20, reminding listeners that Christ came not to destroy the law but to fulfill it. Ministers are urged to honor God’s commandments in their preaching, as those who teach and live by them will be called great in the kingdom of heaven. At the same time, Paul’s reassurance shows that even those who preach imperfectly are still within God’s plan. Drawing from both Old and New Testament commandments rooted in love (Deuteronomy 13:3, John 13:34-35), the message concludes that while God can use both fear-driven and love-driven preaching, it is far better to teach, preach, and evangelize with love. Love magnifies Christ, builds up the body of believers, and secures a greater reward in the kingdom of heaven. Inspired Teaching - Written and/or Transcribed from Video Above: There are some good points Paul makes to the Philippians in chapter 2 that I want to explore in this Bible Study. Objective: The objective of this teaching is to demonstrate that the preaching of Christ, whether motivated by love or by contention, still serves to advance the gospel. By examining Paul’s letter to the Philippians alongside Jesus’ words in Matthew, the lesson encourages believers, teachers, and ministers to prioritize preaching with love while recognizing that God can still work through imperfect motives. Ultimately, the aim is to strengthen faith, inspire boldness, and emphasize that Christ is magnified both in life and in death. Philippians 1:12-14 KJV 12 But I would ye should understand, brethren, that the things which happened unto me have fallen out rather unto the furtherance of the gospel; 13 So that my bonds in Christ are manifest in all the palace, and in all other places; 14 And many of the brethren in the Lord, waxing confident by my bonds, are much more bold to speak the word without fear. First off, it looks like the Philippians were asking Paul about the bonds that he was in, and he answered them by telling them that they’re turning out to be more for the gospel. That those bonds he is in are manifesting the gospel in places, such as the palace and elsewhere. And that it had a side-effect of causing people to speak with more confidence and boldness without fear. Then he goes on to explain that there are more ways to preach the gospel because of this. Philippians 1:15-18 KJV 15 Some indeed preach Christ even of envy and strife; and some also of good will: 16 The one preach Christ of contention, not sincerely, supposing to add affliction to my bonds: 17 But the other of love, knowing that I am set for the defence of the gospel. 18 What then? notwithstanding, every way, whether in pretence, or in truth, Christ is preached; and I therein do rejoice, yea, and will rejoice. Paul explains the motives behind some of these preachers. Some have the motive of envy and strife but others with good will. He explains that the ones preaching with contention are attempting to poor out more affliction, make you feel more guilty in hopes that will cause you to humble yourself before the Lord. But there are those who preach with love defending the gospel as it is as Paul does. Then Paul makes the mind-blowing statement that whether they preach in pretense or in truth, that Christ is preached, and that causes him to rejoice. I always wondered about this because I see people get saved fully knowing the teaching they heard was not out of love. And even in my own life, I realized that I would rather teach out of love than to bring someone to the Lord through fear. Philippians 1:19-22 KJV 19 For I know that this shall turn to my salvation through your prayer, and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ, 20 According to my earnest expectation and my hope, that in nothing I shall be ashamed, but that with all boldness, as always, so now also Christ shall be magnified in my body, whether it be by life, or by death. 21 For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain. 22 But if I live in the flesh, this is the fruit of my labour: yet what I shall choose I wot not. And here Paul tells us that yes, the Spirit of Christ is working here in salvation through prayer. He brings this back to his suffering and rejoices because people are being saved and Christ is magnified through his body in life and eventually through death. Then he explains that living is done through being in Christ and that dying is gaining Christ. He’s not ashamed of the gospel but stands with all boldness…and he does eventually die for Christ because of this boldness. Let’s look at this through Jesus in Matthew: Matthew 5:17-20 KJV 17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. 18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. 19 Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. 20 For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven. First, Jesus clearly states that He didn’t come to destroy the law but to fulfill it. This is a good reminder that to each of us, we don’t know the Word of God or the law in it’s fullness, as the scribes and Pharisees claimed to know. This missed the Messiah’s first coming. And Jesus boldly and confidently states that every prophecy will be fulfilled. Then He makes this bold statement in verse 19: 19 Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. When you are behind the pulpit as an evangelist, pastor, teacher etc, if you teach your followers to break the least of the commandments, then you are called least in the kingdom of heaven. Wait – what? You’re still in the kingdom of heaven? That’s right. Paul was confirming what Jesus demonstrated and stated in Matthew 5. But Jesus goes on to say that those that follow the commandments and teach, preach, evangelize them, then you shall be great in the kingdom of heaven. It’s great to see that Christ is still preached but as I speak to evangelists, preachers, pastors, teachers etc, know that when you preach by keeping His commandments, your status will be greater in the kingdom of heaven then those who preach with fear. What are the commandments? Deuteronomy 13:3 KJV 3 Thou shalt not hearken unto the words of that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams: for the Lord your God proveth you, to know whether ye love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul. John 13:34-35 KJV 34 A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. 35 By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another. Both the old and new commandments are based in love. Conclusion, preach, evangelize, teach in love for it is the better option for you, and don’t condemn those that preach through fear. The spirit of God is working on them and they still have the option of being in the kingdom of heaven. Home Previous Next

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.

THE 490th The objective of this teaching is to explore the prophetic significance of the number 490 as revealed in Daniel 9:24, connecting it to God’s divine timeline for Israel and Jerusalem, and to highlight how this prophetic cycle reveals God’s plan for judgment, mercy, and ultimate redemption. It also aims to show believers the connection between prophecy, forgiveness, and God’s mercy, urging the church to recognize the urgency of salvation and the call to repentance before the final seven-year tribulation. THE 490th Minister Lisa Kane June 15, 2025 Objective: The objective of this teaching is to explore the prophetic significance of the number 490 as revealed in Daniel 9:24, connecting it to God’s divine timeline for Israel and Jerusalem, and to highlight how this prophetic cycle reveals God’s plan for judgment, mercy, and ultimate redemption. It also aims to show believers the connection between prophecy, forgiveness, and God’s mercy, urging the church to recognize the urgency of salvation and the call to repentance before the final seven-year tribulation. Synopsis: In this lesson, Lisa Kane examines Daniel 9:24 and the prophetic vision delivered by the angel Gabriel, which outlines a 490-year period assigned to Israel and Jerusalem. This period serves as God’s “to-do list” to bring an end to transgression, sin, and iniquity, to establish everlasting righteousness, to fulfill prophecy, and to anoint the Most Holy One—Jesus Christ. The teaching explains how 483 years were fulfilled from the decree to rebuild Jerusalem to the crucifixion of Christ, leaving one final seven-year period still unfulfilled. This final period, described in Daniel and Revelation, corresponds to the tribulation where the Antichrist will rise, Israel will experience great turmoil, and God will pour out His wrath as both judgment and mercy—giving humanity one last chance to repent. Lisa also ties in Jesus’ teaching on forgiveness, emphasizing the significance of forgiving “seventy times seven” (490) as a reflection of God’s boundless mercy. Just as God extends repeated opportunities for repentance, believers are called to walk in continual forgiveness. The lesson closes with a call to action for the church to embrace grace now, boldly share the gospel, and help others escape judgment by pointing them to Jesus, whose mercies are new every morning. Inspired Teaching - Written and/or Transcribed from Video Above: Hello and welcome to the House of Faith Ministries. I'm Lisa Kan and I'm recording this teaching on Sunday, June 15, 2025. Welcome. Let's open up in a word of prayer. Father God, thank you for your word. Lord, your word will not return void and we know that your word that gets planted in our hearts will manifest later. So Lord, let the seeds be planted. Let us receive and be aware and hear your teaching today and know what mercy is about and know what your return is about. We thank you in the name of Jesus we pray. Amen. Amen. I'm glad you can be here today to watch this lesson. It's um very interesting one, a little bit different. We're going to be talking about a number. So the number is the 490th. So let's go to our opening scripture here. Uh we're in Daniel 9:24. We're going to be uh in different scriptures but a lot in Daniel here 9. So uh let's start with reading. 70 weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city to finish the transgression and to make an end of sins and to make reconciliation for iniquity and to bring in everlasting righteousness and to seal up the vision and prophecy and to anoint the most holy. So we're going to be talking about the number 490. And you're going to see here in a moment how 490 years are decreed or determined through uh to Israel and Jerusalem. And we're going to show what 490 represents and how God works in that time period, not just to the nation of Israel, but to the believer. And as a believer, these are things that we have to deal with. So now I also want to make sure that anyone who's new, you understand how I teach. So when I bring up a screen print like this or a screenshot uh PowerPoint presentation uh I bring up the scripture in King James version. The bold word is the original in King James. Anything in parenthesis is either something I've added or it is something that um is another word defined for that word through the Hebrews strong the strongs Hebrew Greek dictionary. Okay. Um, so I use that as my teaching tools when I'm here. So let's start off. We got to lay some foundation here to understand what 490 means. So right now what I'm showing you in Daniel 9 is Gabriel the angel is talking to Daniel. Daniel has fasted 21 days. He had a vision and so Gabriel is giving him this vision. It's the word from the Lord. So he says here 70 weeks. So the word week means year. Here it's translated as years. So we're looking at 490 year time period. And he says here 490 years are determined upon thy people. So he's talking to Daniel. So who is Daniel's people? The Israelites. So he's talking to Israel. And upon thy holy city. Who is the holy city? Jerusalem. It's capital of Israel to finish. Now I want you to see something here. God just assigned 490 years to Israel to accomplish this list of things that he has to do. So, you're about to see God's to-do list. Yes, God has a to-do list. And as he completes everything, he's going to be checking off his to-do list. We I I don't know about you, but I've used to-do list throughout the years of my life. Is a great tool to have. So here God is sharing his to-do list with us. Now I want to make certain that you understand something here. He is saying this is for Israel and Jerusalem. I don't see the church in there and I don't see the body of Christ in there. He doesn't say and righteous believers or anyone else like this. No, he says to Israel and Jerusalem. So let's go over this checklist. Let's lay this foundation so we can understand what the 490th is about. Amen. Okay. So it says to finish which is restrict withhold the transgression. A transgression is a re uh a revolt a rebellion. Now he assigned 490 years to Israel. Are people still revoling rebellion today? Yes. We're seeing protest uh over this weekend. No kings and then uh no kings day uh protest. you're seeing um anti-Israel protest and save Palestine and get rid of ISIS. All kinds of rebellions and revolts going on right now. So he says, okay, 490 years and and this was written probably about I don't know 500 years before Jesus, maybe a little less than that before Jesus was born. So, you're looking at a time period here that should have already been done, but it's not because Jesus came. Anyways, it tells you in Daniel. Let's go take a look at that. Says to finish the transgression and to make an end of sins. Now, a sin is an offense. You offend God when you sin. And it could be anything. Anything can offend, you know, if you choose to ignore him today. He's the farthest from your mind. That's sin. And and some people think, oh, it's just murder, lying, cheating, whatever. No, sin is just being away from God. That's also sin. So he says, okay, 490 years, I'm going to complete the rebellion. I'm going to shut that down. And then I'm going to shut down the offense, the sin. Okay? And this hasn't happened yet. What else is he going to do? and to make reconciliation for iniquity. He's going to cover or cancel perversity. Iniquity is being perverse. Now you're purposely doing something against God. You can see the different levels here. You've got a rebellion, you've got offense, and now you have intent. This is where someone is pervertly they're they're doing it on a a perverse way. they're um purposely misleading or purposely hurting. They have an intent to harm. That's what this is about. Again, he says though he's going to cover that. And that's interesting because see, none of that has happened yet, but he says he's going to do it. Now, remember, prophecy is still being fulfilled. So, this is all on the horizon. It is coming. It will be completed. says uh and to bring in everlasting righteousness. Now everlasting righteousness means you are righteous every moment of every day. I don't know about you, but when I go to sleep, what am I my dreams? I have no control over those. Am I not being righteous at that point? Am I sinning? You see, so we are not in this perfection of completion that God said he's going to do on his checklist. It's not there. What else did he say he's going to do? and to seal up vision and prophecy. So prophecy still has to be completed. Vision needs to complete it. All of God's written word still needs to be done. That hasn't happened. Even though he says, "I'm giving you 490 years to do this." So watch how this works out. Then he says, "And to anoint the most holy," which we know would be Jesus. We know that Jesus came and we know that he went to the cross and that he for is forgiving everyone. He brought mercy with him. He didn't come to judge the world. Not as the the son of God as the Messiah on the cross. He will judge later when he is king. He is coming back to that at the end of Revelation. You can go check that out. So now let's go to the next scripture because there has to be a butt in here because it hasn't happened yet. You see what I'm saying? So he says here, know therefore and understand. So he's telling you, I want you to think about this intellectually. I want you to cognitively think this through. Be pay attention. He says that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah, the prince. Stop here. He's giving us a window. It says when the command goes forth to restore and build Jerusalem. Okay, so Daniel lived at the time when Israel was taken into captivity under Babylon. Now remember, if you read all of the book of Daniel, you will find that there's Babylon, there's uh the prince of, let's see, Babylon, the Greeks, the Mes Persians, and then Rome. All of that is prophesied in Daniel, but Daniel is living in the time of Babylon. Nehemiah and Ezra, they're living about 20 to 30 years later. So when Nehemiah gets the king's decree, because see Nehemiah, go read the book of Nehemiah, go read the book of Ezra, they went and rebuilt the city because Jeremiah the prophet, all these prophets, Jeremiah the prophet actually prophesied and Daniel understood it that they would be in captivity for 70 years and they were. So that 70 years was coming up to an end. And so now the people of Israel can go back, but the place is a disaster. So Ezra and Nehemiah, they go back and rebuild and restore. They have a revival that actually takes place in this. Now imagine that happening to the church today. Amen. We rebuild. We go back and rebuild our holy temple with the Lord and and come into his sacrifices that way. Anyways, I digress. So here Dan, Gabriel's telling Daniel when that commandment goes forth and I'm guessing Daniel was alive at that time or he set people in motion to watch because remember the magi showed up when Jesus was a toddler and uh they they didn't actually show up at the manger. They showed up a couple years later following the the signs of the stars. That was implemented by Daniel because Daniel knew the numbers. He knew 490 but he also knew what this is about to say. So when that decree that's your starting point then it says unto Messiah the prince. So from the moment the decree that went through Nehemiah and from that king all the way to when Messiah would be born and raised. He says look at the what he says here. He says shall be seven weeks. Now here we go again. Weeks means years. 7 * 7 is 49. 49 years. This is and three score in 2 weeks which is 62 years or 62 * 7 is your 434 years plus that 49 because he's saying and so you got to add it together. You're looking at 483 years. So from Daniel's time, Nehemiah's time, all the way to when Jesus was born, there was 400 plus years, they call it the quiet time where God was not talking during that time. Uh so you see no activity in that time frame uh between those the minor prophets all the way up to when Jesus is born. Very quiet. So now he's saying there's going to be 483 years. And if you go back and look at history, there was. So when Jesus was cut off, now let's read the rest of it because I want you to understand. So he says uh 7 weeks, so 483 years says the street shall be built again and the wall even in trouble times. That's what Nehemiah, that's what Ezra did. They worked on that even and you can go read the trouble that they dealt with in that. It was incredible. Now uh you go to verse 26 and then it says after that time he says here after three score in two weeks. So take that whole time period and put it all together says after the 483 years because see that's the logical because that's when it happened was 43 83 years 483 years later. We're going to get to that in just a second. I want to uh go into that more detail. Shall Messiah be cut off? Okay. So from the time that Nehemiah was given to his his decree to go to Jerusalem to the time when Messiah was cut off, crucified, it would be a total of 483 years. Okay. Now, we don't know the exact dates and our calendars don't match. when I add up the numbers, I'm off by seven or eight years, which is very interesting because remember there's still seven years left after the 490. So there is uh this time period that's there and according to God and he has it in his calendar which is the most important calendar we see 483 years has been completed for Israel and Jerusalem. So 483 are done. And then Messiah was cut off. He was crucified. Now let's read the rest of that. Messiah shall be cut off or Messiah be cut off but not for himself. Remember Jesus first coming wasn't about him becoming king. Even though Israel said, "Oh, you're going to be our king. How are you going to restore the kingdom?" Even uh Peter and James and all of them were asking after he rose from the grave, are you going to restore Israel now? And then Jesus says, it's not for you to know the se times and the seasons. So they were looking for their king to restore the kingdom of Israel. They didn't realize that the prophecies, there's like two sets of prophecies, if you will. One set was for him to come as Messiah, as our savior and another one was to come as king. Now see, they thought savior of Israel because they were taking it personal and that's what had happened. That that is all what really happened. But Jesus will be coming back as a king. So this is not complete. Hold on. Let's let's get a little bit more of this. And but not for himself. So he he did it to pay the ransom and redeem all of us. So he didn't do it for himself. He did it for us. That's him going to the cross for us with permission from God. He He did that. Okay. Then he says, "And the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary." And we're talking, I should have looked it up, um 20 to 40 years, I think it's 40 years later, Jerusalem was destroyed. Might be 20. Anyways, in that time frame, Jerusalem was destroyed. the whole city they they brought down the walls and it was completely destroyed and burned down. That is history that has physically happened. Then he says here, "And the end thereof shall be with the flood and unto the end of the war desolations are determined." Okay, that part hasn't happened yet. Okay, Jerusalem hasn't been that whole area hasn't been destroyed with a flood. In fact, it was uh a desert for so long. It was desolate. And then Israel came back in 1948 and they got the capital Jerusalem back in 1967. So Jerusalem came back in 1967. This is key to understand some of this stuff. Look what he says here in Revelation 12:16. And the earth helped the woman and the earth opened her mouth and swallowed up the flood which the dragon cast out of his mouth. So, we have seven years left that has not been completed for Israel and Jerusalem. It's not for the church. It's not for the body of Christ. And I will continue to teach on that because the scriptures clearly show we're not involved in that clock. In fact, the clock has paused because Messiah was cut off. And in essence, the ministry was taken away from Israel and was given to the church. Now, we're under a different clock, but there's still seven years that are not complete. The book of Revelation and the book of Daniel talk about that seven years. Now, notice what Daniel was saying. A flood will come in and then look what Revelation says. Swallowed up the flood which the dragon cast. So, the dragon tried to flood Israel. is this is the second half of the seven-year time period called the abomination of desolation. What happens is when the temple is rebuilt, Israel will begin the daily sacrifices all over again. And they will do this under the pretense of peace under a false messiah. They don't know it's false. They're just they're going to believe this person. So at the halfway mark of this last seven years, it's like the 1,200 1,260th day, this antichrist, because that's really what he is, is going to sit on that throne in that temple and he's going to tell Israel, "Worship me. I'm your God." And that's when Jesus tells them, "When you see the abomination of desolation, that's what the abomination of desolation is about. When you see that, run." Well, while they're running, they're going to go hide. The devil is going to try to flood them out and the earth is going to swallow that flood. So, you can see that has not happened, but it was prophesied by Daniel and he talked about the desolation. So, you can see all of these events uh that are going to come in and take place. This is part of um prophecy. Now, just so you have a better understanding of all of this, says uh to so you understand the 7-year time period here, he says in Revelation 11:3, "And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a,23 score days clothed in sackcloth." Sackloth. That's the first half of the 7-year time period. So, this seven-year time period is true. Now, look at this other scripture just so you get a better understanding. says, "And the woman fled into the wilderness." This is Revelation 12:6, "Where she hath a place prepared of God." This is, see, I told you she was going to be running and then the flood's going to come in. So, brought the flood up a little earlier, but and the woman fled into the wilderness where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there 1,23 score days. There you are. You've got a seven-year time period. And I wanted to kind of bring that infrastructure in here that this is the scriptures that is prophesying about all of this stuff that's going to take place. Very, very specific prophecy and it has not happened yet. It's coming. It has not happened yet. So, let's continue back with Daniel because I want you to get the fullness of this. Daniel 9:27. And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week. See, he's talking about the Antichrist. This guy is going to come in for one week or seven years because a week means years. Seven times 1 is seven. Seven years. So he's saying he shall confirm the covenant. He's going to make a the antichrist and Israel are going to make this pact. They're going to make uh a covenant together for this seven-year peace time. And in the midst of the week, he shall curse the sacrifice. In the midst of the week, did you see that? In the midst of the year at this 1,260 days, look what he says is going to happen. He shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease. See, right at that moment, the daily sacrifices are going to end because he's going to try to sit on the throne and he's going to well, he's going to sit on the throne and he's going to tell Israel, "Hey, you worship me." And Israel is going to be like, "Whoa, we made a mistake. Wrong guy." And they're going to run. And he says here to cease and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate even unto until the consummation or completion and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate. This is going to happen. This is an event. Now this is an event for Israel because Israel is the temple. Israel is the chosen people by God. Israel has this time period. So they still have seven years to complete. But look what Peter and Jesus conversed about. It was very very interesting. Uh in Matthew 18:21-22, it says, 'Then came Peter to him and said, 'Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him till seven times? Again, that would mean 49 times. Okay, that's what the scriptur is translating to. And Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee until seven times, but until 70* 7 or 490. This is about forgiveness. Let's look at what Jesus says about forgiveness 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. So there's something very interesting here that Jesus is showing Peter the church. Peter represents the church. Yeah, he's Israeli. Yes, he's a Hebrew, but he is the one who's the church laid on him, the rock. So the church comes out of Peter and so Jesus tells him, I don't want you just to forgive seven times. I want you to forgive 490 times. Now having this framework now of this the 490th knowing that there's a seven-year time period, what happens in that seven-year time period? God pours out his wrath. Well, hold on a second. his wrath. Yes, he's going to pour out his wrath on the earth and on Israel. And if you go through the scriptures, which I just taught in the last couple lessons where uh when especially when I was talking about forgiveness that the church won't be there, I taught on this when there's 50 days when this creepy um horse scorpion looking thing will go and sting and torment the people. That creature will do that for 50 days. uh excuse me five months and in that five month time period they can't nobody can defend themselves. The only people who are protected and kept from those things are the 144,000 that are sealed in Revelation 7 and the two witnesses and the two witnesses will be eventually killed in the middle of that time period and that's when the antichrist wins and he goes and sits on the throne. So here there the antichrist is prevented from doing anything. But the last uh half three and a half years the antichrist reigns completely. There is actually no representation of God and the 144,000 are sealed and hidden. They're kept away and the devil can't get to them. So here you have this wrath this time period. Why would God do that? What is he up to? Every person that ends up in this seven-year time period are people who say one that God Jesus is not the son of God. And you can test that spirit by going and looking at 1 John 4:1. He tells you to test the spirits. And if they can't say Jesus is the son of God, they're not of God. That's one. And he's pouring out on his wrath on Israel because he says, "I'm going to bring an end to transgression, to sin, to he he's going to end that checklist that we went over in detail earlier. He's going to bring an end to all of that, the iniquity, the sin, the transgression. He's closing it up. Closing up vision and prophecy. He's going to do do that and anoint the most holy." In all of that, he is showing mercy in the last seven years. Wait a second here. Wait a second. If If we're to forgive 490 times, look at what Jesus is showing us. See, if people don't change the way they do things after, let's say 400 times, just to use a number that's easy to understand, do you think that person will change? Do you do you think that person wants to change their life? No. Why? Because it's now a habit and they're going to continue to live in that sin and keep completing that sin over and over again. So, how does God work with someone to get them out of sin? Have you ever seen in your own personal life, all hell breaks loose and then suddenly you're spending a lot of time with God and then you realize he gets you out of it and you're like, "Man, Lord, I thank you." And you start you you end up having a closer relationship with God because of what he took you through because you repented and came back to him. The whole point of that seven years, the last seven years is God is pouring out his wrath to get the attention of these people. And you can go look at the scriptures and they will show you. And they still did not repent. This was all being poured out on them and they still didn't repent. But this was God showing mercy trying to get their attention. Look at, you know, those horselike creature scorpion things are demonic. their demons that they're going to see eye to eye and it's going to look like a man's face. That's what the scriptures tell you. You can go read this and do a little homework on that. Uh I think it's Revelation 8 or nine, but you can go check it out and he will tell you that these things are going to be stinging the people on the earth, tormenting them. They're not allowed to kill them, but they are allowed to torment. Why would God do that? Because he's trying to get your attention. You keep rejecting him over and over. But Jesus continues to forgive them. He's trying to give them more time, more chance to get them saved before it all comes to a conclusion. Because see, Jesus doesn't want to lose any. He doesn't want to lose any. So, there's a day that's coming. Let's look at this in Revelation 6 says verse 12-17. And I beheld when I when he had opened the sixth seal, and lo, there was a great earthquake, and the sun became black as sackloth of hair, and the moon became as blood, and the stars of heaven fell into the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind. And the heaven departed as a scroll, when it is rolled together, and every mountain and island were moved out of their places. And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens, and in the rocks of the mountains, and said unto the mountains, and rocks, fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that siteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the lamb, for the great day of his wrath is come, and who shall be able to stand. So, see, he's now saying, this is the time to get saved. This is the time to repent because that is coming and it's going to be so much harder because these people are going to have a hardened heart and they're after all of the hell that they're going to go through on earth before they even get to hell. They're going to say, "No, we're going to continue to reject you." They're going to have a hardened heart. It's going to be harder to get saved in that time period. Now is the time to get a hold of grace. And I've been teaching this now for several lessons. And I'm hoping that you get bold and confident and talk to your family and friends and let them know this is coming because that's for the unbeliever. That's for those who say Jesus is not the son of God. But you and I know better. We know that Jesus is the son of God. We also know that he is showing his compassion to this group of people, giving them chance after chance after chance in hopes that he could even save them. And remember what Lamentation says. Lamentations 3:22 and 23. It is of the Lord's mercies, kindness that we are not consumed because his compassions fail not. They're new every morning. Great is thy faithfulness. They are new every morning. We have a chance to have that mercy and grace now. Don't lose the chance or the opportunity. And if you're afraid to tell someone about the Lord, he's afraid to tell his father about you, you need to get it together and say, you know what, I put Christ first. You have to make that determination in your heart and mind because this is very important now that we come into repentance, come into grace, and put God first in our lives. Amen. Let's close in a word of prayer. Father God, we thank you for your word, and we bless your word. I pray that we have boldness and confidence to go speak your word to get as many saved as we possibly can. I know that salvation is of you. I know that you it is your grace that saves. I pray that every person hears your grace and says, "Yes, Lord. I accept your grace. I want to be forgiven and walk in that forgiveness." And yes, I want to declare you the son of God. I pray and hope for that to manifest itself over the people and their hearts. Lord, in the name of Jesus, we pray. Thank you, Father God. Amen. Amen. Amen. Now is the time to get saved. Let's do it. Amen. God bless you. I will see you in the next message. Bye-bye. Home Previous Next

Say this prayer out loud: Mighty Heavenly Father, I lift up the scientific and education communities around the world to Your throne room and I forgive them of their iniquities, the sins they have committed, the curses against them, the curses spoken from them, and the sins of the land they walk on; and I ask You heavenly Father to forgive as them well per Matthew 6:14 KJV “14 For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you:” Demons, loose the scientific and education communities around the world; the Lord rebuke you per Jude 1:9 “9 Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil he disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing accusation, but said, The Lord rebuke thee.” I bind you with fetters of iron to the iron below my feet here on earth preventing you from interfering in the scientific and education communities around the world, ever again per Matthew 16:19 KJV “19 And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.” And per Psalm 149:6-9 KJV “6 Let the high praises of God be in their mouth, and a two-edged sword in their hand; 7 To execute vengeance upon the heathen, and punishments upon the people; 8 To bind their kings with chains, and their nobles with fetters of iron; 9 To execute upon them the judgment written: this honour have all his saints. Praise ye the Lord.” Father God, I bless the scientific and education communities around the world, with open ears, eyes, hearts, and minds to see, hear, receive, and believe the living Word of God because you state in Mark 4:12 KJV “12 That seeing they may see, and not perceive; and hearing they may hear, and not understand; lest at any time they should be converted, and their sins should be forgiven them.” I pray in hope that they see and perceive, hear and understand so they would believe in Jesus the Son of the living God! And Heavenly Father, I bless the scientific and education communities around the world with softened hearts to be able to perceive and live by Your Word because even you showed the disciples how hard their hearts were when they didn’t believe when You rose from the dead: Mark 16:14 KJV “14 Afterward he appeared unto the eleven as they sat at meat, and upbraided them with their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they believed not them which had seen him after he was risen.” I also bless the scientific and education communities around the world with a spirit of reconciliation because that is the ministry You have given us. Let the spirit of God move forth in the hearts of the people in the scientific and education communities to forgive and reconcile the nation back to Jesus, the Son of God as Paul states in 2 Corinthians 5:18-19 KJV “18 And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation; 19 To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.” I pray that the scientific and education communities around the world are restored into the joy of salvation, and to the paths of righteousness as the following scriptures state: Psalm 23:3 KJV “He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.” Psalm 51:12 KJV “Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free spirit.” I also pray that past generations deceived by lies would be restored to the truth going forward.

And gracious Heavenly Father, we praise You as Psalm 150:1-6 KJV says “150 Praise ye the Lord.

Praise ye the Lord.” You are praised because You are. We now walk forward in peace knowing that You and Your angels are moving behind the scenes doing what You need to do to accomplish Your will as Psalm 103:20 KJV says “20 Bless the Lord, ye his angels, that excel in strength, that do his commandments, hearkening unto the voice of his word.” In the Name of Jesus, the Son of the living God we pray in unity, Amen!PRAY FOR SCIENTIFIC & EDUCATION PRAY FOR SCIENTIFIC & EDUCATION PRAY FOR SCIENTIFIC & EDUCATION Say this prayer out loud: Mighty Heavenly Father, I lift up the scientific and education communities around the world to Your throne room and I forgive them of their iniquities, the sins they have committed, the curses against them, the curses spoken from them, and the sins of the land they walk on; and I ask You heavenly Father to forgive as them well per Matthew 6:14 KJV “14 For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you:” Demons, loose the scientific and education communities around the world; the Lord rebuke you per Jude 1:9 “9 Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil he disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing accusation, but said, The Lord rebuke thee.” I bind you with fetters of iron to the iron below my feet here on earth preventing you from interfering in the scientific and education communities around the world, ever again per Matthew 16:19 KJV “19 And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.” And per Psalm 149:6-9 KJV “6 Let the high praises of God be in their mouth, and a two-edged sword in their hand; 7 To execute vengeance upon the heathen, and punishments upon the people; 8 To bind their kings with chains, and their nobles with fetters of iron; 9 To execute upon them the judgment written: this honour have all his saints.

Praise ye the Lord.” You are praised because You are. We now walk forward in peace knowing that You and Your angels are moving behind the scenes doing what You need to do to accomplish Your will as Psalm 103:20 KJV says “20 Bless the Lord, ye his angels, that excel in strength, that do his commandments, hearkening unto the voice of his word.” In the Name of Jesus, the Son of the living God we pray in unity, Amen!

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

SPIRITUALLY MINDED The objective of this teaching is to guide believers in understanding the contrast between carnal thinking and spiritual thinking, based on Romans 8. It emphasizes the necessity of walking in the Spirit, overcoming the dictates of the flesh, and choosing spiritual truth as the foundation of life. The goal is to help listeners apply God’s Word in a practical way that leads to freedom, deliverance, peace, and life through Jesus Christ. SPIRITUALLY MINDED Minister Lisa Kane November 3, 2024 Objective: The objective of this teaching is to guide believers in understanding the contrast between carnal thinking and spiritual thinking, based on Romans 8. It emphasizes the necessity of walking in the Spirit, overcoming the dictates of the flesh, and choosing spiritual truth as the foundation of life. The goal is to help listeners apply God’s Word in a practical way that leads to freedom, deliverance, peace, and life through Jesus Christ. Synopsis: In this message, Spiritually Minded, Lisa Kane opens with Romans 8:6: “For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.” She teaches that carnality—living according to the body’s desires and natural inclinations—produces bondage, condemnation, and ultimately death. In contrast, living by the Spirit brings true freedom, peace, and eternal life. The teaching explains how faith in Jesus Christ removes condemnation and redeems us from the law of sin and death. Lisa stresses that believers must learn to recognize when they are walking in the flesh and intentionally choose to walk in the Spirit instead. Through fasting, prayer, and the confession of God’s Word, we discipline our bodies and align our minds with spiritual truth. Practical examples are given: rejecting fear when receiving a negative doctor’s report, declaring the authority of Jesus over sickness, anger, or depression, and relying on the Holy Spirit to replace destructive emotions with love, peace, and joy. Deliverance is described as a process of shifting thought patterns from fleshly responses to spiritual responses, allowing the Holy Spirit to purge strongholds and fill believers with God’s presence. Ultimately, Lisa teaches that being spiritually minded means allowing God’s Spirit to dwell in us, transform our thinking, and manifest the fruits of the Spirit—love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. Walking in the Spirit pleases God, empowers believers to overcome sin and death, and positions us as heirs and joint-heirs with Christ. The message closes with encouragement to live daily in spiritual awareness, choosing life and peace through Jesus, and allowing His light to shine within us as we prepare for eternity with Him. Inspired Teaching - Written and/or Transcribed from Video Above: Hello and welcome to the House of Faith Ministries. I am Lisa Kan. I'm recording this teaching on Sunday, November 3rd, 2024. Welcome. Let's open up in a word of prayer. Father God, we lift you up. We bless you, honor you, and worship you. You are faithful and true. You are mighty and glorious. You are full of loving kindness and mercy and grace. Thank you. We pray and ask that your word does not return void. We pray that the listeners have been prepared by your Holy Spirit to hear your word. I pray that our minds are open to receive your word. That we believe and apply and act on your word and live by your word. That we choose spiritually the decisions ahead of us. Not the physical, not the carnal, but the spiritual decisions with you, Father God. For the spiritual reality is true and strong. This is temporary. Spiritual is permanent. And Lord, we lift you up and look forward to being in spirit with you in the name of Jesus. You are mighty and holy and we thank you in the name of Jesus. Amen. Amen. Amen. Welcome. Glad you can join us. I'm teaching a teaching called spiritually minded. Let's go to our opening scripture here and look in Romans 8:6. For to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. So, what I do when I teach, if you are new to this type of teaching, I'm going to show you the scriptures here on the screen. I'm using the King James version. The words in the bolded color are the words in the King James version. The ones in parenthesis are other words that that word means through the Hebrews and Greek Strong dictionary. So you can go look up those words if you have the Strong's concordance and you can see these words are listed in the the original language. So in other words, the authors could have translated it with those words but chose not to. They use the words in bold. So, I believe that when you see these other words um that you're you're seeing the entire meaning of that scripture and it comes to life because you're getting the full um meaning behind what the original text meant for us to believe and learn in. Amen. So, let's read it again with the extra words now. So instead of carnally, so for to be external body minded, meaning everything that's on the outside of your body is what drives you. Your physical body drives your mind. You're hungry, you go eat. Things of that nature. That's what being carnally minded is. Look at this. For to be carnally minded, external minded, by the way, is inclination or purpose. So you have a purpose. You're purpose. You're hungry. So you're purposely going to go eat because it's driving you to do that. Watch this. For to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. So, we're talking about being spiritually minded. For life and peace, and that word peace there, um, is prosperity, quietness, rest. You know, you can have all the money in the world, but you could be suffering big time. So I want to teach us here today how to be spiritually minded, how to overcome carnal thinking so that we are driven by the Holy Spirit and not by what our bodies want. Amen. So we're in Romans chapter 8. So if you have your Bibles, we're going to be focusing in that whole most of that whole chapter there. So Romans 8, let's read verses 1 and two. There is therefore now no condemnation. That word condemnation is adverse sentence. You don't have uh the sentence is against you. Uh you have a verdict. The verdict is found guilty. However, no condemnation means the verdict has been reversed. There is therefore now no condemnation to th them which are in Christ Jesus. I'm going to pause here. If you are listening to this teaching and you want to be spiritually minded, you have to believe in Jesus Christ. There is no ifs, ands or buts about it. That's the reality of it. There is no other way. You know, there are many people who believe and teach that there all these ways get to God. Well, I asked them this question. And if I give you the address to my house and you go in the opposite direction, will you get to my house? No. So always don't get to heaven. So you do need to believe in Jesus Christ. Romans 10:9 says that if you confess with your mouth Jesus is Lord and believe that God has raised him from the dead, you will be saved. So understand that you need to believe in Jesus Christ first. Very important. And he's telling you this here. There is therefore now no condemnation to the to them which are in Christ Jesus. Because see, when you believe in Christ Jesus, you've been pardoned. Redeemed. That's what the word redeemed means, pardon from your sins. The guilty verdict. You've been pardoned. It's like the governor pardon pardoning a sinner in prison and he lets him go at the end of his term. He decides to let these guys go. Presidents do that when they're leaving their terms. They pardon all these people. Well, Jesus did it for anyone who wants to believe. Amen. So, that's straight up right there. As plain as you can get it. There is now no verdict, no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus who walk not after the flesh but after the spirit. So now, as a believer in Christ, you're required to walk by the spirit and not by the flesh. Yet, many will go back by the flesh. It's what we know. It's what we've been taught. That's what we do. But he's telling us you need to be spiritually minded. You need to be walking by the spirit, not by the flesh. How do we do that? And he's telling you first, you need to be a believer in Christ. And then if you are walking with Christ, then you should not be walking with the flesh. You should be walking after the spirit. Look at verse two. For the law of the spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death. It liberates you from the law of sin and death. See, when you're a sinner, they're consequences. Consequence to sin is death. Romans 6:23 says, "The wages of sin is death, but the gift of life is God." So, every time you're sinning, you're supposed to be dying. But look what it says here in verse two. It says you're free from the law of sin and death. Wait a minute. I don't have to die. And what death is, I love how Paul says it. He says, "Oh death, oh death, where is your sting?" He knows that absent from the body is present with the Lord. That is awesome. So, we're free from the law of sin and death because we are following the law of Christ. And and Christ is supernatural. He walked through walls. He walked on water. He rose from the grave. They touched the holes in his hands and in his feet. He is alive. Which means when we face death and death tries to take us like it did Jesus. And it it may well it may well do that unless the rapture happens in our lifetime. death takes us. But guess what? We rise from that and we're no longer subject to permanent death. And that's what that is. So Jesus died. He was in the grave for three days, but three days later he was up out of that grave, including a whole bunch of graves around him. You can go read Matthew on that and it'll show you that. Let's go to verse five. For they that are after the flesh. So we're still talking about carnally minded uh instead of uh spiritually minded. So there's a decision that we have to make. He says, "For they that are after the flesh," you're deciding on the flesh. "Do mind the things of the flesh." Just pause there. "Do mind the things of the flesh." Your flesh gets hungry, what do you do? You go and eat. So why do we have to fast? Now remember, when Jesus was casting out demons and his disciples couldn't cast out a particular kind, the disciples asked, "Why couldn't we cast them out?" Cuz see, they knew they were supposed to. They knew they should have, but they couldn't. So Jesus says, "Well, this kind takes fasting and prayer." Meaning their disciples hadn't been fasting. So if you're struggling with casting out a demon, you need to fast. Why? Because you're choosing spiritual realm. You're forcing the hunger in your body to come down. You're telling your body, you're not in control. I choose to believe in the spiritual realm. That's what being carnally minded is. There's also other applications. For example, you get a doctor's report. The doctor tells you uh you have cancer. You can say, "No, I don't." No matter what the doctor's report is, you say, "No, I'm going to go to the Lord and he's going to take care of that because the Lord Jesus is over that cancer." Romans 10:9 again, that if you confess with your mouth, Jesus is Lord. You say, "Lord Jesus, you are over this cancer. I'm not going to die of cancer. In fact, I don't even have to worry about it." You want to know why I don't have to worry about it? Because God won't take me home till he wants me to get home. So, if I need to live with that all the way till the days he takes me, then that's the way it is. But I promise you, you will have peace and quietness in your soul, in your body. You won't be suffering. You won't be in pain because you declare Jesus over it. You're choosing to be spiritually minded versus carnally minded. Let's continue on in verse five here. But they that are after the spirit, the things of the spirit. So that's what I just explained. If you're going to choose to believe the doctor's report, then you are believing in the flesh. And yet you're a believer in Christ. And if you believe that Jesus rose from the grave, then you believe you're going to rise from the grave. That means you're not filled with sickness and it will not hold you down. Yes, it could be that that sickness goes away after you die. But I promise you, if you are calling on the name of Jesus now, you are planting the seed and you are preparing your body to no longer have that in it. And some people it will be uh an instantaneous miraculous healing. Some people it may take a few days, some people may take a few months, but you will get healed the moment you declare Jesus Lord over it. And how? Because you believe that Jesus has rose from the grave. How do you do that? I'm calling on Jesus and I can't see him, but his name is so powerful and he may be in heaven preparing a place for me and you, but guess what? He gave us his name. He gave us the Holy Spirit. And the Holy Spirit is required to move when you declare the name of Jesus because it is scriptural and it is truth and it has to move. You have to understand the law of spiritual spiritual reality. You see, that's more real than this. So, when you get spiritually minded, you're saying, I'm going to apply Jesus, his name, and the Holy Spirit is required to go move forward in the name of Jesus. This is scriptural. So, to be spiritually minded is to be in the scriptures. I hope you're catching this. Let's continue on. Verse six. To be carnally minded is death. So, he's very clearly telling you you're going to die if you're going to continue to believe whatever the doctor's telling you or whatever you're feeling. You know, oh yeah, I'm feeling like I got something in my stomach and it ain't going away. And you've been dealing with it for months, maybe even years. This is when you say because you keep believing that. You're being carnally minded. You're thinking in the back of your head, you got something there and you know it's bad. You don't even want to go to the doctor because you know it's bad. You don't even have to think that way. Choose to change the thinking pattern of your mind. Choose your mind and shift it to say, you know what? So what? I do feel this, Lord. But I'm declaring you, Lord Jesus, over it, and I'm asking that you take care of it because it's not mine anymore. This body belongs to you. It's your holy temple. You see, you start applying the scriptures to it. You start applying the spirituality, being spiritually minded to it. things start happening. So for to be carnally minded is death. To be spiritually minded is life and peace. This is our opening scripture. I want you to notice something here. Um we are talking about deliverance. To be spiritually, look at this. It means current of air, the rational soul, the vital principle, your mental disposition or the superhuman minded part of your life. There's a guy back in many years ago and I haven't looked him up so I I don't know who I can't remember his name but he's a guy that swam in the Arctic Ocean for 30 minutes and they got him out and he was fine. His internal temperature never dropped. Mind over matter. And a lot of people believe in this. Now many are weak minded. But here's the key. The moment you say the name of Jesus, no matter how weak-minded you are, whether you have zero faith or even just amount smaller than a mustard seed, which is very small, that little amount is all you need for the spirit, the Holy Spirit to move. Now, what does this also mean? When you're doing this, you declare the Lord Jesus, you are talking, you are moving the air around you. Let's talk about the air for a minute. Let's talk about being spiritual. Spirit is air. It's something you can't see. You know it's there. You know when people say, "Well, like scientists, if I can't see it, I ain't going to believe it." Yet, you know that if you go in a room and you remove all the oxygen from the room, what happens to the any life in there? It dies. Anything that needs oxygen, it dies. Fire hydrogen systems in buildings, that's what they do. they deprive the room of oxygen and the fire goes out. So when to be spiritually minded is to let that air current of air flow through us. So when you're dealing with deliverance and you're delivering somebody, you're you're trying to get them to think differently. You're trying to get them to think not on the physical manifestation of anger, hate, depression, whatever it may be. You're saying, "Let's shift your change of thinking. Let's let's change your thinking. Let's shift it over." You're going from talking about the flesh because it's physically there. You know it. You see it. I'm always angry. I'm always hateful. I'm always bitter. I'm always jealous. Uh I'm I'm feeling depressed. You have all of those spiritual attributes. So you want to shift that thinking to say Lord Jesus I declare you over my anger. I declare you Lord Jesus over my whatever you name it. You declare it over cancer. You declare it over depression. You declare it over a hate, anger, jealousy, bitterness because you do not want to be like that. You want to be spiritually minded. And what happens is because there's a physical thing holding on to you, even though it's spiritual, it leaves your body. When you do deliverance and you're in the deliverance ministry, you are aware of exorcisms. Well, there's different variations of exorcisms. Sometimes if you just started dealing with depression and you've only been dealing with it for like a week or two or three weeks, you're you might just sneeze it out. That's a burst of air leaving your body. You might cough it out, flatulate it out. That is a spirit of ver of air leaving your body. That is the manifestation of these things. Now sometimes if like you were uh born um and your parents dedicated you to Satan when you decide you know the Lord works in you and gets you changed and you start getting rid of that stuff you're manifesting and it is just you're just trying to burst it out. Well, you are going through a heavy manifestation. Those demons don't want to leave you. They've got claws in you and you got to rip them out and it will be a burst of air that is so strong. Uh it you have dry heaves. You you won't see actual vomit per se. I mean some people are sensitive so maybe they will but those that aren't it's just a burst of air coming out of you and it's you're getting rid of it. You're purging it. That's good. Let it out and then stand up and let the Holy Spirit in. You got to ask the Holy Spirit to replace that hate and anger. Say, "I ask you, Holy Spirit, to fill me with your love and joy, your peace, because I'm declaring you, Lord Jesus, over my body, and I choose to walk in peace." You choose to be spiritually minded. You choose to walk with the Holy Spirit walking through your body. That's what this is all about. That's what being filled or being spiritually minded is about is letting go of the flesh and choosing to walk in the spirit. That doesn't make any sense. How could you just simply say Jesus is Lord over this? Because Romans 10:9 tells us which the Bible is truth and Jesus went to the cross as the son of God and he took sin on and he dealt with it then. So since sin has already been dealt with, you declare him Lord Jesus over your life. Then you declare him Lord Jesus over your insides and you choose to be spiritually minded. You're declaring his redemption over you. And then the fruits of the spirit begin to manifest in you. You start to have that love, joy, peace, gentleness, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, meekness, and self-control because you're walking in a spiritually minded, firmed, foundational type of word in the word of God, the name of Jesus. He's our foundation. He's our strength. He's our glory. And we breathe and live through him. Because every time we choose that, we choose to be more spiritual because this world, this life is temporary, but there's a life after. Oh, and when we get there, that's where heaven is and we're going to be there. So, we're already practicing it here and now. We're putting our flesh down and we're letting our spirit stand. Amen. Being spiritually minded. Let's go to verse seven. Because the carnal mind is enmity against God. Let's stop. So our physical body is constantly fighting with God. Enmity. Let's look at that word. It means hostility. We're hostile with God. Our flesh tells us, "I'm in pain. I'm suffering. I'm hungry. I need this." But the moment you take control spiritually, you tell your hungry body, listen, you're fasting right now. You will deal with it. You will get food later on. And your body has to submit to it. You have a headache. Your body has to submit to the name of Jesus. The name of Jesus is what rules your body. So you're not in that enmity, the hostility. Remember Genesis when the fall of man occurred, the curse of enmity was there between the woman and God. So that it's hostility. We're constantly fighting with God. And it's we don't want to be that. We don't want to fight against God. See, to fight against God, you're not in the word of God. You're doing things your own way. You're being disobedient. It makes sense in here. But that's not what we're to do. We're to make sense in the word. Let the word be our foundation and our strength. Amen. Let's continue on. For it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be. See the body cannot reflexively be obedient to God. It it eventually you will have to feed your body. You can subject subject it to hunger 1 day, 3 days, 17 days, whatever number of days you can fast 40 days eventually and I think the 40 days is the limit. you have to feed it food and water and you are very weak at that point but in the flesh but spiritually if you've ever gone on a fast let me tell you my longest was 17 days and um let me just simply say you become extremely aware and I use that very passively but extremely aware of things on the other side that's going on around You truly do. It's incredible, too. So, you're becoming spiritually minded, spiritually aware. You're becoming aware that sicknesses doesn't have to rule your body. You're becoming aware that you don't have to be subject to sin because you've been set free and redeemed and pardoned by our mighty savior Jesus. You become aware and your mind walks in that manner. It walks in the name of Jesus. It's no longer subject to the flesh and what the flesh is telling it to do. Somebody cuts you off. What's the first thing your body wants to do? Whether you're in a line at an amusement park or whether you're driving in a car, somebody cuts you off. You think that's not fair. I'm right here. your flesh rises up. But to be spiritually minded, back off. Let them in. Big difference. How do you get that? That's through self-control. That's walking with the fruits of the Holy Spirit. You're letting the fruit of the Holy Spirit begin to manifest in you. Amen. Verse eight. So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God. And there's the simple truth of it. To be obedient and to please God is to walk spiritually. Faith without works is dead. You cannot take a leap of faith if you cannot believe that there is a Jesus and he rose from the grave. It is a very simple matter of fact. Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life. No man comes to the father except through him. So to be obedient, you have to get rid of flesh thinking, stinking thinking. And what you have to do is allow the Holy Spirit to manifest and let the fruits of the spirit uh build up in you. Verse nine, but you're not in the flesh, but in the spirit. If so, be that the spirit of God dwell in you. Now, if any man have not the spirit of Christ, he is none of his. Dwell in you. You're allowing Jesus to be a part of your life. You spend time. Here we go. Dwelling this now. We're allowing Jesus to dwell within us. It's a two-way street here. I've been preaching about dwelling in the secret place with the Lord for years now. Psalm 91, you take the time where you set up a private moment between you and God. Whether it's your desk, in your bed, in your closet, in your car, you open up the Bible, you read, you pray, you have a two-way dialogue. Well, look at here. To be spiritually minded is to allow God into the chambers of your being. You have four chambers in your heart. You have your mind. You're allowing God to be every part of your body spiritually. And because he is light, what happens is the light shines on the inside. Darkness has to flee, which means all boils, cancerous things. They're exposed. They're exposed to light. And the light kills them, dissolves them, destroys those things. And you live because you're pleasing God. So God turns everything around that is death to life. Death put Jesus in the grave, but his life came right back up. We had that same promise. So we're facing death in the future, whether it is through the rapture or whether it is something else. All we know though is that three days later or whenever it may be, Paul says, absent from the body, present with the Lord, instantaneously you're in the presence of God spiritually and you get a new body out of it. Oh, this is awesome. Verse 10. And if Christ being you, the body is dead because of sin, but the spirit is life because of righteousness. The body is dead already. And because the body is dead, you're died to this life. This is why you can go up in the rapture. If the rapture happens in our lifetime, we're entitled because Hebrews 9:27 says, "Everyone's appointed to die once." Well, guess what? We don't have to because we are already dying to our flesh because we choose to be spiritually minded, not carnally minded. Hallelujah. And then but the spirit is life because of righteousness because God has declared us righteous because we're being obedient. We're walking with him. We are walking in that right standing with God. We become righteous. And we're obedient. We're thinking righteous. We're thinking God first. We're putting God first. for applying his word. No weapon formed against me shall prosper. He has good thoughts for me. My future is established because he's made it for me. He knows me. He has a book written of me. He is my God, my shepherd. By his stripes, I was healed. All of these scriptures are appliable to your life. You get to keep quoting them because now you stand in the promises that he has given you. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Verse 13. For ye if for if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die. But if you but if ye through the spirit do mortify or put to death the deeds of the body, ye shall live. In other words, put the spirit ahead of the body and you're going to live. The body is decaying. It's going to eventually die anyways. We don't want this body. We want the new one that's coming. This one is messed up. But you know what? You can declare the Lord Jesus over it. And what happens is he restores it and it is all redeemed. And that means that sin, sickness, disease, whatever, bye. You tell it bye. Goodbye. I don't want to see you ever again. Because you have the authority and the right to name the name of Jesus over whatever is within you. Amen. Verse 14. For as many are as are led by the spirit. They're driven by the spirit of God. They are the sons of God. And what does that mean? That means you're a joint heir with God. Oh, verse 15. For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you have received the spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, aba, father. The spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit that we are the children of God. And if children, than heirs, heirs of God and joint hes with Christ, if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together. Jesus says, "We will do greater things than even he did." When he stopped to speak to Mary Magdalene on the way up to heaven with all that billions of souls behind him, he said, "I go to my father, your father. I go to my God, your God." Oh, that's incredible. He elevated us to be joint hes with him. Which means that if the demons had to be subject to his name, they are still subject to his name. And we get to use his name in whatever situation we can declare the name of Jesus. And the demons have to have to listen. And the better part of it all is he Jesus says, don't just rejoice in the fact that the demons do what you say. Rejoice in the fact that your name is written in the Lamb's book of life. That you get to choose to live when you're spiritually minded versus carnally minded. Put the body down, but declare the name of Jesus over the body. You're choosing spiritual mindedness. Think, move your thinking from, "Oh, this hurts to," okay, Lord Jesus, I know this hurts, but I'm declaring the name of Jesus because I'm done dealing with it. You shift the way you think. That is what deliverance is all about my friend. Move your spiritual thinking. Move it or from carnally thinking to spiritual thinking. Let the spiritual thinking be your rock and your foundation so that you may live in prosperity, quiet, peaceful life. Oh hallelujah. Let's close in a word of prayer. Father God, we thank you for your word. Help us to walk in your word. Help us to apply the name of Jesus to whatever situation we're facing. Help us to choose spiritually mindedness versus carnally minded us mindedness. Help us to walk in the spirit and not in the flesh. In the name of Jesus we pray. Amen. Amen. Amen. God bless you. I will see you in the next message. Bye-bye. Home Previous Next

LET YOUR HANDS BE STRONG Minister Lisa Kane April 11, 2025 Objective: The objective of this teaching is to encourage believers to strengthen their faith and hold firmly to the Word of God as revealed through prophecy. Drawing from Zechariah 8, the lesson emphasizes the importance of recognizing God’s promises for the future, understanding the prophetic scriptures concerning the millennial reign and end-time events, and preparing now by choosing salvation in Christ. The teaching aims to equip listeners with both hope for God’s future plan and urgency to live faithfully in the present age of grace. Synopsis: Let Your Hands Be Strong is a prophetic teaching based on Zechariah chapter 8, where God calls His people to fasten their strength to His Word and promises. The message unfolds the prophetic vision of Jerusalem’s future restoration during the millennial reign, a time when peace, longevity, and righteousness will flourish under God’s rule. It highlights the difference between today’s age of grace, where salvation is freely offered through Christ, and the coming seven-year period of God’s wrath, known as the Great Tribulation. The teaching explains that Zechariah’s prophecy points to events that have not yet been fulfilled—such as Jerusalem being called the “city of truth” and children safely playing in its streets—revealing the hope of God’s future blessing after times of judgment. It warns that unbelievers who live through the tribulation will face severe trials, while those who now accept salvation in Christ will be spared. The lesson underscores God’s righteousness as Judge, His promise to Israel’s remnant, and His ultimate victory over Satan. Ultimately, the teaching challenges believers to let their hands be strong—seizing God’s Word with faith, proclaiming salvation boldly, and standing firm in preparation for Christ’s return. It is both a call to study prophecy with spiritual discernment and an urgent reminder that today is the day of salvation. Inspired Teaching - Written and/or Transcribed from Video Above: Hello and welcome to the House of Faith Ministries. I'm Lisa Kaine and I'm recording this teaching on Friday, April 11, 20125. Welcome. Glad you can join us. Let's open up in a word of prayer. Father God, we thank you for your word and we bless your word that it does not return void. Thank you for your prophetic word, Father God. Give us wisdom, knowledge, and understanding in understanding your prophecy. For you are the spirit of prophecy. and we come before you, Father God, and humble ourselves to hear your word and to know that your word is a part of our lives and let it manifest through our mouths. Let us hold on to it with strength and let us walk in the authority of your word. In the glorious name of Jesus, we pray. Thank you, Father God. Amen. Amen. Amen. Glad you can join me. This this teaching is going to be called Let Your Hands Be Strong. And we're going to be focusing here in Zechariah chapter 8. So our opening scripture here is thus saith or God appoints and calls. Thus sayith the Lord of hosts, let your hands or your power be strong or fastened upon seas ye that you hear like what you hear intelligently in these days these words by the mouth of the prophets which were in the day that the foundation of the house of the Lord of hosts was laid that the the temple might be built. So, Zechariah is one of the minor prophets in this um he prophesies about uh the end times. He is talking about latter days here. So, I am not God. I do not fully understand prophecy, but there's some very interesting things in this chapter that I do want to get across to you. Uh but I do believe based on my current understanding of end time prophecy here in the now um that this is actually futuristic prophecy because it hasn't happened yet uh of what Jerusalem will be like uh or the um the millennium reign, the 10,00ear millennium reign. I think this chapter is focusing on that time and we're going to get to that scripture and we're going to see it. So let's start at verse one again. And the word of the Lord of hosts came to me, saying, Thus sayeth the Lord of hosts, I was jealous or envious for Zion with great jealousy, and I was jealous for her with great fury. Thus sayith the Lord, I am returned unto Zion. And Zion is what's called a permanent capital. And of course, it becomes a name uh unto Zion, and will dwell or lodge or reside there in the midst of Jerusalem. Jerusalem is a founded peaceful city is the name of Jerusalem. And Jerusalem shall be called a city of truth and the mountain of the Lord of hosts, the holy mountain. As of right now, Jerusalem is not called the city of truth. So this is futuristic prophecy that we are talking about that has not happened yet. We are in the age of the church or grace, grace, dispensation of grace. This is where we the church teach on salvation. But we were given revelation of the future of prophecy of what's coming so that we can teach the unbeliever. You don't want to go through that. It's bad. When you know during that seven-year time period of God's wrath or the great tribulation, whatever you want to call it, I I believe it's called God's wrath in the scripture, but some people do refer to it as the great tribulation. You don't want to be living in that time frame. Let me just simply say that when the day of the Lord comes and the day of the Lord comes when the sixth seal is open. When that day happens, that's day one of this seven-year time period. Okay? If you're alive on that day and you are not a believer in Christ, then you are appointed to go through that seven year. Now, by the time you get to that end of that seven year, it says that man will be finer than over gold. Oh, wow. So most people will die by the end of that seven-year time period. The whole world is going to change drastically physically, mentally, spiritually. It's going to be a different world. And by the time that end of that seven-year time period comes, whoever the survivors are, they're going to repopulate the earth. My guess is going to be Israel. Israel and their offspring and whomever else happens to survive that time period. They're going to repopulate the earth for a thousand years. So during that time, the devil will be bound up. I if you take a look at prophecy like this, God is making a case against the devil. He's a lawyer, if you will. Now, he was the judge who appointed all the rules and regulations. So now he's testing. He's seeing what is the issue. Where is the problem? And the problem is sin. And as he gathers all of his data throughout the centuries, that's going to be used in the case to judge the devil permanently where he will end up in the lake of fire. And yeah, I I read at the end of the book of Revelation and we win. If you're on God's side, we win. And the devil will be permanently in the lake of fire. But for this thousand years, he's going to be locked up and then re-released to see is it really him that's doing this issue is causing people to sin. And you will find that even the people during this time that Zechariah is talking about that I believe is talking about when um he the people at that time they're going to be deceived again. So here they're going to know our history. They're going to see everything that has happened. They're going to be told the stories and at the end of that thousand years, devil's going to be re-released. And guess what? People are going to fall for him again and be deceived. Again, though, this is so that God can accumulate the data that he needs to judge because he's a righteous judge. He will not judge haphazardly. He doesn't do it out of emotion. He doesn't do it biasly. He does it righteously and faithfully because that's who our God is that we serve. Amen. Okay. Continuing on. Uh verse four. Thus sayith the Lord of hosts, there shall yet old men and old women dwell in the streets of Jerusalem and every man with his staff in his hand for very age. See very age. This is also people will live long again during this thousand year. My guess is all the people. It will be a rare thing for let's say a hundred year old dies. They will be that will be considered so rare and young. He will be he or she will be considered young if they die like that during that time period. I I don't know what the world is going to be like during that thousand years. I don't need to know it because I I'm not going to live through this. And if you know I'm working on a study right now about end time prophecy. So, we the church will not be here for that seven-year time period. Think of it like this, just for an analogy off the top of my head. When the two witnesses come down and they're casting out fire and plagues against people and killing people with it because they're judging those people who are attacking them at that moment, ask yourself this. Where's the church? Bible doesn't tell you. I'm going to tell you right now, if I saw those two witnesses there and I recognized it from the word of God, oh, you better believe I'm going to be on a plane and I'm going be there by their side because they're on God's side and I'm going to be on God's side and I'm going to follow that. But since the scripture doesn't say that the church will do that, it means the church will be gone during this time. So right now what you see is this prophecy is telling you that the old men and the old women are going to be in the streets of Jerusalem and they're going to be at they're going to be holding their staff for they're going to be very age and the streets of the city shall be full of boys and girls playing in the streets thereof. Right now that's not the case. So this is definitely all futuristic prophecy that has not come to pass yet. Now, does this mean it has to come to pass before the seven-year time period? No. Like I said, I'm thinking that this is part of that thousand-year millennium reign. Again, I'm not God. I could be wrong. I'm just based on the facts that I see uh in the scripture and what I know thus far. That's what I'm calling it to be. You do your homework, do your research, and let the Holy Spirit speak to you. I hope to motivate you to get involved with end time prophecy. Amen. Verse six, thus sayeth the Lord of hosts, if it be marvelous or distinguish in the eyes of the remnant. See, and here, okay, remnant. Let me finish reading the scripture. Rem remainder residual of this people in these days, should it also be marvelous in mine eyes? You see, it is going to be crazy that old men and old women with their staffs and the boys and girls running around on the streets of Jerusalem. Why? Because if you look at Jerusalem today, the there's so much anti-semitism out here. It's incredible. People just do not like the Jews. It's a spiritual thing. It does go back to Charles Darwin though and classifying them as animals and that cultures read that and believed it and believed in evolution. It's been cultivated in the cultures. So all these people who have been taught by parents, grandparents, great-grandparents for throughout the generations of their lives consider them dogs, animals, and that they're not human. And so they justify, hey, if you got to go kill a dog or a horse, you can go kill an Israeli. That's what they justify this to be. So to see old men and women and children playing, it's a very distinctive thing. And we know we know that that hasn't happened yet. So here we're looking at a particular prophecy that hasn't happened yet. And it's incredible. It's an incredible read. And remember what foresight is when you're looking at pro prophetic scripture. You don't know how everything you don't even know how that can be. I mean other than the fact that during the millennium range reign that the devil is locked up which means nobody is being influenced by demonic spirits telling you to hate, hurt, betray. No, this thousand years is going to be a peaceful time until Satan is released again. So this is a marvelous thing that's going to be done and people are going to see it. Let's continue on. Verse seven, thus sayeth the Lord of hosts, behold, I will save my people from the east country and from the west country. I don't know who those countries are. I just know that at the end of that seven-year time period and Armageddon tries to come and attack, they are saved by God. Jesus himself is going to come down on a white horse and his his pants are going to say faithful and true. And there's another name on there that we don't know. But he knows that's him coming down and he doesn't even have to do anything. He speaks a word to defeat those that are coming after. That's key here. So, as we look at this future prophecy, look at how Jesus handled Armageddon and how they came to attack Israel. Now, let's continue on. And I will bring them and they shall dwell in the midst of Jerusalem and they shall be my people and I will be their God in truth and in righteousness. So, here's something interesting. Let's look at that again. says, "And I will bring them and they shall dwell in the midst of Jerusalem." We know that there is a new Jerusalem coming. But this is even before the new Jerusalem. See, the new Jerusalem is going to come after. See, Jesus prophesied the heaven and earth shall pass away, but not his word. So, until that happens, you've got this city of Jerusalem that's still going to be residing. And so he is saying the people are going to be in Jerusalem coming and serving him. Uh they're going to be in the midst of Jerusalem. They're going to be my people. And it's a remnant. Remember in the previous scripture, it's a remnant. So these are the survivors of that time period. I remember in that seven-year time period, right after um I think it's in uh Revelation 7 or 8, you will see that the angel of the Lord will put a mark on the 144,000 male boys or Jewish men who have not been defiled by a woman and it'll be 12,000 of each tribe. So, it's 144,000 and then the two witnesses are going to come down. They're going to be sealed and they're going to be protected during this time. Somehow someway at the end of all of that, there will be survivors and they will repopulate the earth. And here they're going to be in Jerusalem in the city of Jerusalem hanging out together in the midst. Again, it's a marvelous thing. This is things that we cannot see or understand today. And the world is going to be completely different because there going to be some great earthquakes that are going to happen. And we know that the economy breaks right in right after the abomination of desolation. You've got Babylon falls. That's the entire economic situation of the world. That's all going to collapse. So this whole thousand years is a world we do not know or recognize. And this prophecy is saying it's marvelous. So why teach this? And I'm I'm going to read more of Zechariah. We're going to get more into this end times. But I want you to know and understand that you do not you may not be one of the survivors in that seven-year time period. We don't know as teachers today of future prophecy. We don't know how you get saved during that seven-year time period. It says something like about beheading, but we're not 100% certain. We know that there's seven thunders that are going to speak, but God told John, "Don't write down what they say." Why? Because God doesn't want people to know that you can get saved through this other method at that time. If that is true, we don't know that. We don't know that. That's what they say. So, the church preaches today to get saved. Now, don't wait. Don't wait. You don't want to go through that time. Yes, it will be beautiful afterwards, but God is going to pour out his wrath. And I'm going to tell you right now, every unbelieving person, and that's Israel included, because he's only going to seal 144,000. Every unbelieving person during that time is going to suffer God's wrath. Oh, you don't want to go through that. In fact, the first five months and you can go read the scriptures, nobody can die because people are going to try to kill themselves thinking they can get out of it, face them on the other side. Guess what? Death is going to go on a vacation. What's going to happen to you at that that time? It's going to be crazy. Seriously crazy. Let's continue on with the prophecy. Verse nine. This is our opening scripture. Thus saith the Lord of hosts. So he's appointing a call. He's calling. He's pointing us. Says, "Let your hands, your power be strong, fast and upon seas. What you hear intelligently in these days, these words, by the mouth of the prophets, which were in the day that the foundation of the house of the Lord of hosts was laid, that the temple might be built." So they're talking about when the prophets wrote this, which is when the second uh temple was going to be laid. And and when they built that temple after the destruction of the first temple and they came back to it, it was there were people still alive who saw the first temple and when they saw the second temple, they just wept wept bitterly because it was nothing like the first temple. So look at this is what's key. This is what this message is all about. Says, "Let your power fasten on what you hear." You see, you we have to be hearing what the prophets are talking about because you and I are the church and we have to teach that we do not want people to go through God's wrath. Now is the time to get saved. Now is the time of grace. Now is the time to call upon the name of the Lord and be saved. Romans 10:13, anyone whosoever calls upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. That's you. That's me. All of us have the opportunity to be saved. Now, it's not true during that seven-year time period. And it's going to get worse in that time period when the abomination of desolation happens, which is this is all about Israel. The seven-year time period is about Israel and the unbelievers when the um this is the time by the way that evil you have the beast, you have the prophet uh the and Satan himself are the ones that are going to be in control of this time period and they're going to be misleading and deceiving Israel. So that first three and a half years in this sevenyear time period of peace. That first three and a half years is all about deception to Israel. They think, "Oh, we've got our f they think the Messiah came for the first time, but it's a deception." So they're starting to do their daily sacrifices again. And then in right in the middle, 3 and 1/2 years in the seven-year cycle, this demonic being tells Israel, stop the daily sacrifices. He sits on the throne because the temple will be built. So, he will sit on that temple and he's going to say, "Worship me." And that's when Jesus says in Matthew 24, "Run. You need to run. Don't even go back and get your things. Just run. And that's when all of a sudden, Israel is going to recognize we've been worshiping the wrong person, the wrong God. This is not our Messiah. And they're going to run. And that last three and a half years, you think that first half was bad. That last p last half is the worst. This is where the rest of the remaining human people on the face of the earth, a good chunk of them are going to die in that time period. And it's because of God pouring out his entire wrath on these people and what he allows to take place. This has to happen because of sin. because of what started off as perfect when creation was created. Now you have this and this is um this is coming. This is why we the church need to be teaching on salvation. Now is the time to get saved. It's most important to teach about salvation than anything else. Get saved. So be um apologetically aware of the word of God. You need to know your scripture. You need to be able to defend defeat. The people who are under a strong delusion right now have all kinds of weird questions. You need to be in prayer. You need to be fasting in prayer. This is the time where you need to set aside what yourself wants and put God first so you can save lives. That's what's most important and critical here and now. Amen. Verse 10. For before these days there was no hire for man. Look at that. payment of contract. See, now at the days of the prophets, because that's where we're at. You're seeing that there's nothing's been paid for. Jesus hadn't paid the price yet. Catch this. This is very important. For man, nor any hire for beast, neither was there any peace to him that went out or came in because of the affliction. For I set all men against everyone against his neighbor. You see, we do not trust people. And it is very challenging to trust people's trust trust our family members, our neighbors. Man, we have a hard time trusting. And this is because the Lord set this sign, this time of affliction. We're in what's called a narrow or tight place. We don't have peace, which is safety, happiness, health, and prosperity. These are the things that are fully not there. However, if you're a believer in Christ, you have his hedge of protection around you. But this is the time when this prophet wrote this and he's talking about that remnant. They didn't have that at that time. But he's prophesying it's going to be coming. But he's saying there was no payment. And see now there's payment. Says, "But now I will not be into the resid residue or the remainder of this people as in the former days, say the Lord." So, he's going to treat you differently in that thousand year than he does uh prior to that. See, uh Israel went into captivity at the time of Babylon and then they were out for 70 years or they were in captivity for 70 years. Daniel figured it out. The vision of the seven years comes to Daniel in that time period. And then we know the Persians and the Greeks and we know that Rome comes in and we know that there are these futuristic um events that are coming. The day of the Lord, the abomination of desolation, the seven-year time period, the millennial range reign, and then judgment day. We know these things are coming. So he says, I'm going to treat you differently. This is why I'm talking about the millennium uh millennium rain. Reign. Boy, that's a tough one to say. The thousand year reign says for the seed through prosperity prosperity shall be prosper safe happy prosperity peace the vine shall give her fruit and the ground shall give her increase and the heavens shall give their due and I will cause the remnant of this people to possess all these things the remnant of this people these are the ones who are going to survive and look they're going to have peace and prosperity they're going to be treated differently. They're going to have this time. God is going to give them give them this time and period to have this health, peace, prosperity. Let's continue on. Verse 13. It shall come to pass that as you were a curse among the heathen. Right now they're a curse. People are cursing them left and right. anti-semitisms big time says, "Oh house of Judah and house of Israel, so will I save you and ye shall be a blessing uh which is prosperity benediction. Fear not, but let your hands be strong." There it is again. Your power fasten or seize upon these words. We need to know the word of God. We need to let our hands, which is our strength, our power, grab hold and seize the word of God and understand it and not let go. Not let go. This is a time where we need to be giving precedence to the word of God. It should be a priority in our lives. We should be holding on to it. We should be praying it into others. We should be declaring it because the prophet back in that day, Zechariah, which is who we're reading today, is prophesying, you got to hold on to these things because this is what's going to get you through. I promise you. See, this is a promise from God. I'm going to bless Jerusalem. I'm going to bless you with peace and prosperity. But it is coming after the last seven years. They owe God in punishment. They were assigned 490 years. Daniel, you go read Daniel and they got seven years left. But this is to close out vision and prophecy to bring an end to sin, an end to transgression. Go read Daniel 9:24. Do a little homework and read that because I'm limited on time. I can't bring all this in into a 30-minute teaching. But know that God is going to bring them peace when all that time is done and passed. For thus sayaith the Lord of hosts, as I thought to punish you when your fathers provoked me to wrath. Now he is talking about them being in the wilderness, sayeth the Lord of hosts, and I repented. He he did a strong breath and he had pity on them. And he so he didn't he says I repented not, but you know he wanted to do this. He decided not to. This is why he did what he's doing now. He backed off at that point. Decided, let's let me do it this way. It's like a turning point, if you will, in the history of Israel. So again, have I thought in these days to do well unto Jerusalem and to the house of Judah, fear ye not. He's telling you, don't be afraid, Israel. I'm going to bless you. I'm going to take care of you. I've got your back. I'm your God and I'm going to be there with you. Hang in there. And then in verse 16, these are the things that ye shall do. You're going to speak ye every man the truth to his neighbor. You're going to execute the judgment or verdict of truth and peace in your gates. You see now when you talk about that time they're going to be walking in truth. They're going to be walking in the word of God and they're going to be executing judgment verdict at their gates which is their opening of their city. And let none of you fabricate or imagine evil in your hearts against his neighbor. and love no false oath that no curses, no uh sworn curses for all these things that I hate, sayeth the Lord. So the Lord is saying this is going to be different. I don't want you doing what you did before. I want you to speak truth and execute judgment verdict. This is what you're going to do in that thousand years. We know that the martyrs are going to be serving at that time with their new bodies, ruling and reigning over that thousand years. So you have that with Israel speaking truth and executing verdicts and judgment. That's what's going to be going on during this time. As to the details of that, I don't know. It's not revealed to us. But I know that God says, "Hang in there. Do not have any fear. I will take care of you. I am going to bless you. You are going to be a blessing. You read the rest of that chapter, you're going to find out that people are going to be coming to the Jews and grabbing on to them and saying, "I want to go to worship God with you." That will be the other people that will survive. See, there's going to be two groups of people that are going to survive the end of the seven years. You got Israel and you have whoever didn't take the mark. Which did they actually call Jesus the son of God? I don't know if that's how they get saved or not, but they will be a part of this thousand year reign. This is God's promise to Israel. This is his promise to those of us who will make it into that time frame or those of them that will make it into their that time frame. You and I that believe here and now, we're going up either in the rapture or absent from the body, present with the Lord. Either way, whatever death, I'm already dead to this world as it is. Doesn't matter at this point. My eternity already began because I choose to believe that Jesus Christ is the son of God. And I am encouraging you to say it. Say it out loud. First John 4, chapter uh chapter 4:1 tells you to test the spirits. And if the spirit can't say, which is a person talking through a spirit, can't say Jesus is the son of God, well, guess what? that they're not a believer in Christ. That's how you will know. And you will also know them by their fruit. What are they producing in fruit? God is making a distinguished difference here. I hope that you're blessed by this prophetic message. It is a foresight of scripture that I don't ordinarily stop to teach on, but I did this time because I wanted you to see that if you hold on to the scripture, which is the spoken word, you hear it. Don't let go. And make sure that you tell family and friends. They may shun you. They may hate you. You know, give them to the Lord and pray over them. But let them know that salvation is now. Now is the time to receive the grace that Jesus gave us through dying on the cross and paying the ultimate price. Amen. Let's close in a word of prayer. Father God, we thank you for your word and we bless your word. You are amazing, glorious, faithful, and true. And thank you for the evidence of what's coming so that we know and can be prepared for it and that we can share with others. You don't want to live during that time. So thank you, Father God, for helping us stand strong in your word, to have the courage and the faith to share your word and to share what Jesus did on the Christ, your salvation. In the name of Jesus, we pray. Amen. Amen. God bless you. I will see you in the next message. Bye-bye. Home Previous Next

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
