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 - Written and/or Transcribed from Video Above: Hello and welcome to the House of Faith Ministries. I'm Lisa Kaine. 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.

God bless you and I will see you in the next message. Bye-bye. Previous Next

BINDING AND LOOSING The objective of Binding and Loosing is to teach believers how to exercise the spiritual authority given to them through Jesus Christ. By understanding and applying the biblical principle of binding and loosing, Christians can release the power of God’s Word, resist the works of darkness, intercede effectively for others, and walk in freedom through forgiveness and agreement with God’s will. BINDING AND LOOSING Pastor Marcos Marrero Objective: The objective of Binding and Loosing is to teach believers how to exercise the spiritual authority given to them through Jesus Christ. By understanding and applying the biblical principle of binding and loosing, Christians can release the power of God’s Word, resist the works of darkness, intercede effectively for others, and walk in freedom through forgiveness and agreement with God’s will. Synopsis: In Binding and Loosing, Pastor Marcos unpacks the meaning of Jesus’ words in Matthew 18:18, revealing the divine authority given to every believer. This authority, rooted in the power of God’s Word and the ministry of the Holy Spirit, allows Christians to confront spiritual strongholds and release God’s purposes on earth as they are already settled in heaven. The teaching emphasizes three essential rules: Agreement with God’s Word – Believers must speak words aligned with Scripture, for God’s Word carries the life-giving energy to bring transformation. The Power of Agreement with Others – When Christians join together in prayer and faith, their authority is multiplied, and Jesus is present among them. Walking in Forgiveness – Spiritual authority cannot operate where bitterness and unforgiveness remain. Releasing others mirrors the release Christ gave us at salvation and keeps us in spiritual freedom. Pastor Marcos also highlights how binding and loosing applies both individually and corporately. Believers can pray against spirits of unbelief that blind people from salvation and loose the conviction of the Holy Spirit upon them. Likewise, the church collectively can bind demonic influences over communities and nations. Through practical examples and biblical foundations, the lesson shows that binding and loosing is not about controlling people but restraining demonic powers and releasing God’s will. When spoken in faith, in agreement with Scripture, and under the authority of Jesus’ name, the Word of God releases spiritual energy that transforms circumstances and establishes God’s kingdom on earth. Inspired Teaching: Matthew 18:18 “Assuredly, I say to you, whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.” Say what you will, but Jesus is clearly talking about the awesome power that He has given to everyone that believes in Him. What is this power, and how does it work? First we need to understand that this power is a spiritual power that transcends all physical limitations—that is the good news, the bad news is that since the nature of this power is spiritual, those who are carnally minded have no clue as to how it is to be implemented. Understanding how this power works, and how to implement it, will radically change the lives of every believer that masters the how-to of this awesome gift from God. Since the source of this power is spiritual, we need to have a working understanding of how spiritual energy is released. John 6:63 “It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life (giving energy).” The source of all life giving energy is in the Word of God. Hebrews 4:12 “For the word of God is living and powerful (energy)…” The first rule of binding and loosing is that words must be spoken which are in agreement with the Word of God. A different rendering of our opening text is this: Whatever you bind on earth having been bound in heaven. This is the translation that many scholars of the original Greek believe is more accurate for this text. And it makes more sense, since we are called to enforce the Word of God here on this earth, and we know from Scripture that the Word of God is forever settled in heaven. So that whatever has already been settled in heaven is the very thing that we are to declare here on this earth. Which brings us to the nuts and bolts of this foundational principle. The disciples noticed that Jesus spent a lot of time in prayer and that His prayers were always answered. Which prompted them to ask Jesus to teach them how to pray. Luke 11:2 “So He said to them, ‘When you pray, say: Our Father in heaven, Hallowed be Your name. Your kingdom come. Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.” The key to binding and loosing is in knowing what God’s will is in whatever situation we are praying for. For example, we know that God is not willing that any should perish but that all come to repentance. If I am praying for someone’s salvation—be it a family member, a friend, or a foe—I can bind the spirit of unbelief that is hindering them from receiving the revelation knowledge that will bring them to God’s salvation. No body gets saved unless a believer is praying for them, but not everybody that is being prayed for gets saved, because of their unbelief. That is where binding the spirit of unbelief can make all the difference. When we pray for someone’s salvation, we are loosing the conviction of God’s Spirit over them so that they will realize that they have a need to be saved. But some people have been bound by an unbelieving spirit that does not allowed them to see their need. After we bind the spirit of unbelief that has them bound, they will be free to believe. If you have a love one, or even an enemy, for whose salvation you’ve prayed and nothing has happened yet, add to your prayer for their salvation this prayer for binding the spirit of unbelief over them: Pray this out loud: I bind, in the name of Jesus, the spirit of unbelief that is preventing (name the person that your are praying for) from receiving the conviction of the Holy Spirit that will allowed him/her to be saved. If God was willing to violate the free will that He has given to all mankind, we would not have to bind or loose anything. The devil is the deceiver—who comes in unawares—and steals man’s ability to receive God’s salvation by binding them with unclean spirits. But to those who have accepted the Word of Truth, power has been given to demolish all these demonic strongholds that keep people bound. Matthew 18:19-20 “Again I say to you that if two of you agree on earth concerning anything that they ask, it will be done for them by My Father in heaven. For where two or three are gathered together in My name, I am there in the midst of them.” The second rule of binding and loosing, is in the power of agreement, not just with the Word that is forever settled in heaven, but with one another who are like-minded in our beliefs as well. When we speak in agreement with the Word of God in heaven, we are enabled to bind and to loose things here on earth. But when we add the power of agreement with one another, Jesus is in our midst. John 10:10 “The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.” It is obvious that the devil’s influence affects the masses as well as the individuals. So that as individuals we can pray binding and loosing over those who are within our sphere of influence, but as members of the church we can corporally pray for entire communities and even nations. How does it all works? Everything that God made, He made through the power of His spoken Word. Everything that exists today, it is maintained and sustained by the power of His spoken Word. Unlike animals, we humans were created with the ability to reason and to believe on that which is literal and which can be propagated through the spoken word. 2 Corinthians 4:13 “And since we have the same spirit of faith, according to what is written, ‘I believed and therefore I spoke,’ we also believe and therefore speak.” When we speak by faith in accordance with the written Word of God, we release the energy that is both able to restrain and to let go that which has already been settled in heaven according to the Word of God. First we need to know the written Word that applies to our circumstance, then we need to speak that Word that is in agreement with the heavenly testimony—by faith believing that as we do so—the energy needed to transform our circumstance has been properly allocated and will accomplish the task for which we sent it out. Isaiah 55:11 “So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth: It shall not return to Me void, but is shall accomplish what I please, and it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it.” Notice how God is referring to the Word that goes forth from His mouth, that which He spoke; and also that sometimes it requires a process to take place before that which He spoke comes to pass, since prosperity is a process that sometimes takes time. When we by faith bind or loose anything in accordance with the Word of God, we need to rest in the fact that the energy has already been released and the process started, that will eventually bring about the desire results. Remember that we are dealing with spiritual entities when we are binding and loosing. Angels as well as demons are spiritual creatures whose none-physical bodies are made of energy and respond to the energy that governs them, which is the Word of God, and to those who by faith speak it. Jude 9 “Yet Michael the archangel, in contending with the devil, when he disputed about the body of Moses, dared not bring against him a reviling accusation, but said, ‘The Lord rebuke you!’” Remember that it was through the Word, that God created everything that exists, be it physical or spiritual. So that everything must submit to the power of the Word of God, which resides in our Lord Jesus Christ.” John 16:24 “Until now you have asked nothing in My name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy maybe full.” So that when we bind and we loose in the name of Jesus—by faith in His written Word—we are enforcing His Word over our physical realm, by exercising the dominion that Adam lost, but which Jesus has restored to us in His name, in this present age. The third rule of binding and losing has to do with us walking in the freedom that the forgiveness of our Lord has brought into our lives. Matthew 18:27 “Then the master of that servant was moved with compassion, released him, and forgave him the debt.” Notice that at the point of salvation—delivered from a debt that we could not possibly pay—we were released, and enabled to release others that were in debt to us as well. Failure to release those who are indebted to us, puts us back into a place of bondage, powerless to free ourselves or others. Matthew 18:33-35 “Should you not also have had compassion on your fellow servant, just as I had pity on you? And his master was angry, and delivered him to the torturers until he should pay all that was due to him. So My heavenly Father also will do to you if each of you, from his heart, does not forgive his brother his trespasses.” Notice how our Lord brings it down to the very personal level of if each of you fail to do this. Let’s examine this closer, why does the penalty seem so harsh for one single violation of this principle? Remember that we are dealing with spiritual power that is given to us in order to restrain spiritual entities, it can in no way be used against or to control human people, but the demons that drive them. At the point of our salvation, the Lord forgave us all our trespasses and released us from all our sins. Then He gave us His name and the authority to bind and to loose spiritual entities on behalf of those who are still bound by the enemy. If we are not willing to forgive those who sinned against us, then we are still in the flesh, and not in the spirit. We have authority over nothing. Acts 26:18 “To open their eyes (through binding and loosing), in order to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins and an inheritance among those who are sanctified by faith in Me.” Let us come in full agreement with the Word of God, let us speak by faith the word that binds the spirits and that looses the hindering darkness, and by all means make sure that we hold nothing against our humankind.

TO SUFFER FOR HIS SAKE The objective of this teaching is to help believers understand the divine purpose and privilege of suffering for Christ. Rather than viewing suffering merely as loss or hardship, the lesson aims to reveal how God uses it as a process of discipline, spiritual growth, and preparation for eternal life in His kingdom. By embracing suffering for righteousness’ sake, Christians can partake of the divine nature, bear spiritual fruit, and be equipped to reign with Christ in the age to come. TO SUFFER FOR HIS SAKE Pastor Marcos Marrero Objective: The objective of this teaching is to help believers understand the divine purpose and privilege of suffering for Christ. Rather than viewing suffering merely as loss or hardship, the lesson aims to reveal how God uses it as a process of discipline, spiritual growth, and preparation for eternal life in His kingdom. By embracing suffering for righteousness’ sake, Christians can partake of the divine nature, bear spiritual fruit, and be equipped to reign with Christ in the age to come. Synopsis: In To Suffer for His Sake, Pastor Marcos Marrero explores Philippians 1:29, emphasizing that Christians are not only granted faith in Christ but also the privilege of suffering for Him. He distinguishes between general human suffering—often the result of poor choices or inherited conditions—and Christian suffering, which is uniquely tied to righteousness and divine purpose. The teaching highlights that suffering for Christ refines believers, enabling them to partake in God’s divine nature as described in 2 Peter 1. This process cultivates spiritual fruit such as faith, perseverance, self-control, brotherly kindness, and love. Marrero compares this to olives being crushed to release oil, showing that suffering produces anointing and fruitfulness. Furthermore, suffering has eternal implications. It prepares believers for their place in God’s kingdom, where positions and rewards are tied to the measure of faithfulness and endurance in trials. Drawing from passages like 2 Timothy 2:12 and Matthew 20:23, the lesson reveals that enduring suffering for Christ aligns believers with His example, who endured the cross for the joy set before Him (Hebrews 12:2). Ultimately, Pastor Marcos teaches that Christian suffering is not a curse but a divine training ground. It equips the believer to walk in godliness on earth, produce eternal fruit, and reign with Christ in the life to come, fulfilling God’s perfect will. Inspired Teaching: Philippians 1:29 “For to you it has been granted on behalf of Christ, not only to believe in Him, but also to suffer for His sake.” In today’s Christian environment it almost feels like heresy to say that it has been granted to us, not only to believe in Him, but also the privilege of suffering for Him. In this lesson we will deal with the reason why God considers it a privilege when the followers of Jesus are allowed to suffer for His sake. Let us start with the basics; what is suffering for His sake? 1 Peter 3:17 “For it is better, if it is the will of God, to suffer for doing good than for doing evil.” To suffer for Jesus’ sake is to suffer for doing good. But let us not gloss over the importance of suffering itself, for all of us suffer one way or another. Suffering always has to do with discipline, for those who suffer are trained by their sufferings. And it is part of the natural process as well, as children we are deprived of many of the things that we want until we learn how to use them properly. Now in the world, suffering, though it may bring some kind of discipline to the sufferers, it is usually the result of bad personal behavior, or due to the failures of the progenitors of those who are suffering. We can see that throughout the many nations of the world today. Those who are fortunate enough to be born in nations where the early fathers made sure that future generations would have better living conditions, by setting the right political and educational systems that would allow their descendants to be raised with the proper discipline to make things better, definitely suffer a lot less than those who are less fortunate. Those who are born in nations whose early fathers fostered hatred, division, and intolerance, whose aim was to regenerate their own bigotries after they were gone, and not what would be best for their descendants, suffer more due to the prejudices that they have inherited that keeps them from making the right choices. But this is where I believe that many Christians miss the true purpose for Christian suffering, for their understanding of suffering is based partly in where they were born. Those born on the west see suffering from a different perspective that those born in the east do, globally speaking. Christian suffering overrides whether one suffers for the lack of our ancestors discipline or because of it, it does not matter. Christian suffering is a different matter altogether and we need to understand that. 1 Peter 3:14 “But even if you should suffer for righteousness’ sake, you are blessed…” The reason why Christians suffer is so that they can become partakers of the divine nature through their sufferings! That is the blessing. 2 Peter 1:3-4 “As (according to) His divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who called us by glory and virtue, by which have been given to us exceedingly great and precious promises, that through these you may be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.” The divine nature is this: in Christ we are not of this world any longer! Let’s see if we can take a practical look at what Peter is trying to tell us. When Jesus was asked by Pilate if He was a king, Jesus answered that His kingdom was not of this world. Suffering for Christ’s sake prepares Christians for the kingdom that is to come, as it is written in the Lord’s prayer: Thy kingdom come Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. 2 Timothy 2:12 “If we suffer, we shall also reign with Him…” KJV There is divine order in all of God’s creation, and that order is enforced by His divine power that governs everything in the creation in accordance with the laws of God. Suffering for Him and ruling with Him is one of those laws, if we suffer for Christ’s sake we do not suffer in vain! Being saved qualifies us to operate within the law of suffering for Him so that we can reign with Him, since in Him we have escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust. Now here is the process of suffering for His sake and becoming partakers of the divine nature. 2 Peter 1:5-9 “But also for this very reason (becoming partakers of the divine nature), giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue, to virtue knowledge, to knowledge self-control, to self-control perseverance, to perseverance godliness, to godliness brotherly kindness, and to brotherly kindness love. For if these things are yours and abound, you will be neither barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. For he who lacks these things is shortsighted, even to blindness, and has forgotten that he was cleansed from his old sins.” Diligence, faith, virtue, knowledge, self-control, perseverance (patience), godliness, brotherly kindness, love. All these are spiritual fruit that emanate from the anointing of the Holy Spirit that covers us. And just like the olives must be separated from the tree and crushed to make the oil flow, we too have the need to be separated from the world and made to endure the sufferings that allow for the anointing that is in us through the born-again experience to come forth. Philippians 1:11 “Being filled with the fruits of righteousness which are by Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.” Now there is a higher and more futuristic agenda to suffering for Christ’s sake as well, and that has more to do with the kingdom that is to come. Matthew 20:23 “So He said to them, ‘You will indeed drink My cup, and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with; but to sit on My right hand and on My left in not Mine to give, but it is for those for whom it is prepared by My Father.’” Jesus gives us insight into the kingdom that is to come, He tells His disciples that they will indeed suffer a martyr’s death but that God Himself will decide what position each believer receives in accordance with how much they suffered for Christ’s sake. The reality is that most of us just want to make it to heaven and we don’t care where we sit, as long as we are in with Jesus and where Jesus is. But if we think in terms of excelling in our training that is preparing us for the future, they both accomplish the same thing; let me explain. The future kingdom of which all born again believers will be a part of, is an eternal kingdom. What does that mean? That means that in that eternal kingdom we cannot make any mistakes, for one mistake in eternity disqualified even the most anointed of the cherubs. When God made us, the human race, He made us a little lower than the angels, see Psalm 8: He did so for the purpose of working all the bugs out of us before we became eternal, therein comes the suffering part. You see when Lucifer and the angels that followed him sinned, their natures were abruptly changed, and since they dwelled in eternity, they became eternally dammed and unredeemable, for time is the fourth-dimension where past present and future are all the same, one eternity. God placed us humans in the third dimension which is lower than the dimension that the angels occupy, for those who live in the third dimension are stuck in the present, which is not a bad thing if you figure that as long as it is called today, the present, we still have a chance to repent and make whatever wrong we made, right again, before we die and enter into the fourth dimension of eternity. Hebrews 4:7 “Again He designates a certain day, saying in David, ‘Today,’ after such a long time, as it has been said: ‘Today, if you will hear His voice, do not harden your hearts (and repent before you die so that you can enter into God’s rest).’” Hebrews 4:1 “Therefore, since a promise remains of entering His rest, let us fear lest any of you seem to have come short of it.” What that means is that once we die, as believers, we go before the judgment seat of Christ where our abilities to sin are removed from us once and for all, and then we are rewarded with our eternal position which is based on the things that we did while here on earth in Christ. 2 Corinthians 5:10 “For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive the things done in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad.” This is not a judgment of salvation, for if one is not saved he will not make it into the judgment seat of Christ. This is a judgment of rewards or the lack of them. What that means is that Jesus is trying to get us, while here on earth, to let go of the worldly things or what is called the works of the flesh, so that we can produce spiritually eternal fruit, like Peter listed, for the more spiritual fruit that we produce the greater our standing or the higher our heavenly position will be. But the flip side of that is that the more spiritual that we become while here on earth the more power that we have to impose the kingdom of God in our midst, but in order to become more spiritual the greater the suffering that we must endure by denying ourselves of the worldly pleasures that war against the kingdom of God. Now this is the kind of suffering that Paul is talking about: Philippians 2:3-4 “Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself. Let each of you look out not only for his own interests, but also for the interests of others.” So that it is only suffering if it seems to us that we are missing out instead of gaining eternal blessings. Philippians 2:5 “Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus.” Hebrews 12:2 “Looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.” His suffering earned Him the highest position, which is to sit at the right hand of God. Our suffering will get us to the highest position ordained by God for us, which is for His good and perfect will to be done in our lives. Previous Next

WHEN SATAN PROVOKES The purpose of this teaching is to help believers understand how to respond when Satan provokes them into sin, drawing from David’s example in 1 Chronicles 21. It emphasizes the importance of humility, repentance, and returning to God when tempted and deceived, while recognizing both the reality of consequences and the victory Christ has secured through the cross. WHEN SATAN PROVOKES Minister Lisa Kane October 6, 2024 Objective: The purpose of this teaching is to help believers understand how to respond when Satan provokes them into sin, drawing from David’s example in 1 Chronicles 21. It emphasizes the importance of humility, repentance, and returning to God when tempted and deceived, while recognizing both the reality of consequences and the victory Christ has secured through the cross. Synopsis: This message, When Satan Provokes, opens with 1 Chronicles 21:1, where Satan tempted David to take a census of Israel. Though the act itself seemed harmless, David’s decision revealed misplaced trust and led to devastating consequences for the nation. Joab warned against it, but obedience to the king outweighed discernment, resulting in God’s displeasure and the death of 70,000 men. Through this account, the teaching explains how Satan uses provocation to lure God’s people into disobedience, causing harm beyond the individual to entire communities. David’s response—humbling himself, donning sackcloth, confessing his sin, and offering himself in place of his people—foreshadowed Christ’s sacrifice, where the ultimate penalty of sin was placed upon Him. The message highlights that while sin carries consequences, repentance and humility before God restore fellowship and position us under His mercy. Believers today, equipped with the authority of Christ and the protection of salvation, can resist provocation and stand firm in the Spirit. Scriptures like Romans 7–8 and Psalm 23 affirm that there is no condemnation for those in Christ, and His rod and staff bring comfort and deliverance. Ultimately, the teaching calls believers to vigilance against Satan’s schemes, immediate repentance when they fall, and unwavering trust in Jesus’ finished work at the cross, which nullifies condemnation and secures eternal victory. Inspired Teaching - Written and/or Transcribed from Video Above: Hello and welcome to the House of Faith Ministries. I'm Lisa Kaine. I am recording this message today on Sunday, October 6, 20124. Welcome. 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. We love your word. We honor your word and we pray that your word impacts our lives. And Lord, teach us how to come back before you and be humbled before you. Thank you Lord. In the name of Jesus we pray. Amen. Amen. Welcome. Glad to have you here. This is a very interesting message. So we are going to be talking about when Satan provokes. When Satan provokes. Let's go to our opening scripture here in 1 Chronicles 21:1. And Satan, and that name is an opponent, adversary, or an arch enemy of good, stood up against Israel and provoked. He stimulated, pricricked, he seduced David to number Israel. Now, there's nothing wrong with the senses, okay? But notice that it was the devil here who was doing the provoking and he interested or got David to fall for his trick here. And I'm going explain the purpose of this teaching. So I want you to understand what we're going to what the end goal of this teaching is going to be. When Satan provokes us and he causes us to sin, what do we do about it? How can we undo it? The purpose of this teaching is to show you how to handle the situation no matter how bad the results are. Amen. So we have a situation here where Satan tells David to uh count do a census over Israel. And so David falls fall falls for he tells his kingdom all the people works for him. I want you to go count um the number of people. And this is how Joab responds in verse three. And Joab answered, "The Lord Jehovah make his people 100 times so many more because he keeps adding and augmenting to the nation of Israel as they be. But my lord the king, are they not all my lord's servants? Why then doth my lord require have you search out or strive after this thing? Why will he be a cause of trespass to Israel? Oh, this is very, very interesting. Joab recognizes that God doesn't need to know the number of how many people are in Israel because he's already got the number. He already knows it. So, this is a point where David is hearing from the devil and he's tempted. He's the one who wants to know what the count is, where the number of Israel is at this time. And this is the part that's causing some havoc. And Joab's recognizing this. He's like, "Hey, hey, you cannot do this. This isn't coming from the Lord." But King David is his king, right? So let's continue on and go to verses 5-7. And Joab gave the sum of the number of the people unto David. So he went and did it. He he was obedient. And all they of Israel were a thousand thousand and a 100,000 men that drew sword. And Judah was 400 three score and 10,000 men that drew sword. But Levi and Benjamin counted he not among them. For the king's word was abominable to Joab. And God was displeased with this thing. Therefore, he smoked Israel. So, the concept of this teaching here is to teach you what happens when um you are provoked by Satan. You're tempted by Satan. You fall for something that he's tempting you to do. You will know, by the way, what your sin is. So, here you're seeing that Israel is about to get smoked. God didn't like this and Joab knew better, but he he he held back. He still went and counted, but he held back because David is his king. So, he's being obedient, but at the same time torn. There are consequences to other people around here for the sin of what David just did. Let's continue on. Let's go to verse verses 11-4. So Gad came to David and said unto him, now Gad is the prophet at that time with David. And he says to him, "Thus say the Lord, choose thee, either three years famine, or three months to be destroyed before thy foes, while that the sword of thine enemies overtaketh thee, or else three days uh the or else three days the sword of the Lord, even the pestilence in the land, and the angel of the Lord destroying throughout all the coast of Israel." Now therefore advise thyself, what word shall I bring again to him that sent me? So God gives David three choices. H this is this is very very interesting. David falls for this seduction from Satan. He's provoked. So he sins. He sins as a king. He has a sin. And the sin that he's he did has a consequence. So God is saying, "Which one do you want me to do?" So here's David's response. He says, "And David said unto Gad, I am in a great straight." No kidding. He's feeling cramped, distressed. He says, "Let me fall now into the hand of the Lord." In other words, he's not going to choose any of them. He says, look at and look what he says. Let me fall now into the hand of the Lord, for very great are his mercies, but let me not fall into the hand of man. So now, now the three choices are kind of David's worst fears here. He's brought his kingdom of Israel. He's got it secure. They're stable. And now, you know, his choices were, you know, um have a pestilence come through or have a the enemy come in and take him. He's got he's in a world of hurt here. He's feeling it. This isn't comfortable for him and this is his sin. So, he's hoping, okay, I'm going to throw myself into God's hands and let God handle this. So, what did say 14 say? So, the Lord sent pestilence upon Israel and there fell of Israel 70,000 men. David just cost the lives of 70,000 men. And David is the heart of God, the apple of his eye. Can you believe that? How much more are we? So, David says something and I want you to see this because I I'm hoping that you can understand how we can get out of this situation because now there are consequences. 70,000 men died. Okay, let's look at what else happens here. So, uh verse 15, and God sent an angel into Jerusalem to destroy it. And as he was destroying, the Lord beheld and he repented. Simply what that word repented is he sighed. He let it go. He he he he's sorry. He's pitying the situation of the evil and said to the angel that destroy it is enough. Stay now thine hand. And the angel of the Lord stood by the threshing floor of Orin the Jebusite. Now, there's a lot to this teaching. So, I'm only covering right now the purpose of how to get out of the sin that you caused. Okay? We we're all tempted by the devil. We have all fallen for that temptation. And this is how we get back to the Lord. How we get ourselves right with the Lord. So, I'm showing you this because I want you to understand now there are consequences because as you saw, God said it's enough. He took 70,000 Israelites and he he said that that's going to pay this price here. So now David, watch this because he sends his angel of the Lord over to Orin and he's got him standing there visible to the naked eye, visible to the humans. Okay? And David lifted up his eyes and saw the angel of the Lord standing between the earth and the heaven having a drawn sword in his hand stretched out over Jerusalem. Then David and the elders of Israel who were clo clothed in sackcloth fell upon their faces. Okay, first thing David did is they put themselves in sackcloth. They got down on their hands and knees, put their face down on the floor. This is their form of repentance back in the day. So David, who has already put himself in God's hands, he's now there with his whole leadership team and they're all in sackcloth and they are bowing before the Lord. and he looks up and he sees this angel between heaven and earth and he sees it over Jerusalem and he's oh I mean watch what he says here in verse 17 and David said unto God it is it not I that commanded the people to be numbered even I it is that have sinned and done evil indeed but as for these sheep what have they done let thine hand I pray thee oh Lord my God be on me and my father's house, but not on thy people that they should be plagued. Little does David realize or even know what he is prophesying here. This is the golden nugget I want you to catch. David's like, "This was my sin, not theirs." And David's like, "Put it on me." Now remember though, God can't do that to David because David has a blessing in his life, promises to him. So even though David might have sinned, the the consequence of the sin comes off of David because of the promises over him. There are promises his lineage is going to bring the Messiah. And by the way, the sin will be poured out on the Messiah on the cross. So David is asking for that sin to be placed on him. It's going to be placed on his great great great great great however many greats there are Jesus the son of the living God. It's going to come through his lineage. So he is saying you know come on me do it on me. But here's the thing that I want you to see as someone who serves Christ and is Christlike. The consequence of your sin will not land on you. It lands on whether you are forgiven, whether you forgive, whether you have the mercy, whether you're humbling yourself before the Lord. Like David did here, there was still a consequence. 70,000 Israelites have died. Now, imagine yourself in a a situation where you committed a sin. Now, see, you have blessings as a believer in Christ. You have blessings. If you have the blessing of long life and if you're dwelling with the Lord, you have blessings of authority and power. You are the ones talking about you and me who dwell and share this type of teaching. We're the ones that have the authority that we can bring down kingdoms. Go read um I uh Psalm 149. We have this authority to do that. So now what happens is because we're given that authority and we know better. So when Satan comes in to uh provoke us, he attacks us. In this case, he he tempted David. David knew better. But what he was thinking was, "Oh, God knows the number. I I'll know the number." But remember the promise to Abraham, his nations that follow him will be like the sand. Counted like the sand. You can't count the sand. Can't count the stars. It'd be like the stars. So Satan was like, "Aren't you curious as to how much how big you are now? I bet you are." And they would sit there, I am curious. Let's go count thinking it's it's he justifies it in his mind. How many of us justify sin in our minds in our lives? Well, that's exactly what happened here. So, what when David realized what they had done because Gad the prophet's telling him he he's humbling himself before the Lord, but the Lord still took 70,000 men. There is a consequence. Remember the promise to Israel, too. I am a jealous God giving your sins to the third and fourth generation. He So, so here you are. So, your children and your children's children, your grandchildren and your great-grandchildren will be impacted by your sin just like your greatgrandparents have their consequence of sin on you to the fourth generation. So that means that has to break. You have to break the curses. So David's going to break this curse here. He's going to break it because he's like telling the Lord, I can't believe you just did what you did. Uh I don't know, you know, where do I go from here? I've already humbled myself. I'm giving myself into your hands. What do you want me to do? Because remember, this was attack on Israel from Satan. Now remember also Israel should not have had a king. They should have still just been one nation, but they had asked for a king. And uh um Samuel was all offended. God says, "Listen, they're they're rejecting me. They're not rejecting you." So God put gave them a king. Gave him King Saul who failed miserably. And now they're he's showing him King David. Even though David has a heart after him, he's showing he's still a sinner. Should have not chosen a king. Now that you chose a king, you had to oy that king. Now you have the consequences of what that king did. That sin is on you, which they gladly agreed to accept when they agreed to have Saul as their king. So now you see why this had to go on to the people besides the blessing on David who did follow God and had and was after God's heart. So you can see the dynamics playing here of what the Lord is dealing with. So how do you get out of the situation? Because you have your blessing on your life. But guess what? Satan provokes you from time to time. We all trip. We all fall. We have all fallen of the short fallen short of the glory of God. So it there's a time where we can come back and have restoration in our lives from that sin. The consequence still there. It the deed the blood has been made for that. So we still have the consequence of Jesus on the cross for our sins. He had to do that. So that still had to happen. The 70,000 still had to die. Understand that. Now look verse 18. Then the angel of the Lord commanded Gad to say to David that David should go up and set up an altar unto the Lord in the threshing floor of Orna in the Jebisite. And David went up at the saying of Gad which he spake in the name of the Lord. So now David is being obedient to the Lord. This is awesome. So David humbled himself. The blood price still had to be paid. So we can see Jesus coming to pay that price for our sins because that is the consequence of being provoked by Satan. Now the best way is just to tell Satan to get below your feet. That's how you deal with being provoked or tempted by Satan. And you have that authority. I don't think David did have that authority back in that day and he had to deal with the consequence. So those of us who end up falling for temptation and you do fall that consequence is there but it is forgiven but it had a price to pay Jesus on the cross. So every time as a believer in Christ you fall for that you're just piercing Jesus' heart deeper and deeper. This is why it is very important to recognize it upfront. The moment you repent, the moment you have the helmet of salvation on, the moment you have a knowledge up here with the helmet protecting you that keeps you from falling for the provocion of Satan. Let's go there. Let's go to Romans 7 24 and 25. Oh wretched man that I am, who shall deliver me from the body of this death? Paul is recognizing, listen, I have sinned. In fact, he's the one who says, "I was the Pharisee of the Pharisee, but I went persecuting the church and I was killing them. I sinned." And he says, "Oh, wretched man that I am who shall deliver me from the body of this death." Then he goes, "I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord." So then with the mind, remember the helmet of salvation I just referenced with the mind, intellect, thought, feeling, or the will. I myself serve the law of God, but with the flesh, the law of sin. Now, when we're provoked, we are dealing with the law of God and the law of sin. And when we fall for the law of sin, we have to remember. So David had to create an altar on that threshing floor by orin there. And he had a he ended up buying that land to build that altar because it was made in remembrance of the event that took place and his prophetic word that the sin will be placed on his lineage on his family which it was and it was the sin of the entire world. Oh, I hope you're getting this. This is powerful. And then look at Romans 8 1 and 2. There is therefore now no condemnation. No more verdict to them which are in Christ Jesus who walk not after the flesh but after the spirit. So every time you're walking in the spirit, you've got your helmet on. You cannot be provoked anymore. You're in a different place. You're equal with Jesus. Yes. In Psalm 8, we're told that we're made a little lower than the angels. But when Jesus on his way up, he was ascending from the grave three days after and he stops to talk to Mary Magdalene and says, "Don't touch me. I haven't ascended yet. Says, I go to my father, your father, my God, your father, your God. He equalized us to him. So there's no more condemnation, no more verdict, and there's no way the devil can provoke us anymore. It's done. It is finished. Jesus finished it. Oh, hallelujah. Look at what else he says. He says, "And these are the ones who walk after the spirit, for the law of the spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free, exempt from the law of sin and death." Now there's no more consequences. So the moment you do fall and sin and mess up, you say, "Jesus," and it stops. There's no more consequence to your nation, to your country, to your family, to your household. Your sin stops here and now. So now when things happen, you're dealing with God. You're not dealing with Satan anymore. He He's a tool that God uses, but other than that, you're dealing with God. And what did David do immediately when he realized he did wrong? He humbled himself before the Lord. The purpose of this teaching is to show you how to humble yourself. You're to go to God and ask for forgiveness immediately. Now, I want to show you the psalmist. I want to show you what the psalmist said about these situations because we do face situations. We face them. Look at what he says in Psalm 23:4 and 4-6. Yay, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for thou art with me. Thy rod and thy staff, they comfort me. And that word comfort, by the way, is to sigh. That's the Holy Spirit. That's God bringing comfort. I forgive you. We're not going to let this thing go on anymore. We stop it here now. comforting you. He's telling you that all it is is thy rod, thy staff, they comfort me. Yeah, I'm going through a serious situation that is close to death. Yay, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil. It's not evil now. It's God. And we don't have to fear God. God has life in the palm of his hands. Absent from the body, present with the Lord. Oh death, oh death, where is your sting? There is no more sting. Because the moment we're out of this body, we're in the presence of God. And that can't be any better than what we have now. Hallelujah. That is just so much better. That is better. That is multiplied better. And right now we have a duty. We're to be here. We have to We're called to pray, to intercede, to walk in the gifts of the Holy Spirit, to walk with the Lord. Let his rod and staff comfort you. Yeah, it's rough. You're close to the shadow of death here. You're close. You see a loved one close. It breaks your heart. But then you remember what Jesus did on the cross. And you're wow, Lord, you got me. You got me. You got me taken care of. Look at this. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies. Thou anointest my head with oil. My cup runth over. You know what that says? When you are at that table with the Lord and all the enemies are watching you, your eyes are on God and you're eating the fruit he brought on the table. You're talking to him. You're telling him, "Man, this one hurts. Lord, this one's hard." He's saying, "I've got you. I've got you. It is taken care of." And you say, "Thank you, Lord." And there is a peace. It's hard because our minds go places where we don't want them to go, especially when we have a loved one who is suffering. But then we go to the Lord and we give it to him and the enemies are watching and they see how you're reacting and this is your testimony. You're telling the world the devil don't have me. My eyes are on God. His rod, his staff, they comfort me. Look at verse six. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever. In other words, no matter what happens, no matter what the consequences are, I'm going to come to the Lord, and I'm going to dwell with him because he's my comfort. He's the one in control. He's the one who created all of this. Even if I don't understand why a loved one is being attacked or even if there is sin that was a consequence and this is a provoked sin by Satan and he provoked the situation. He made it so bad. I can still go before the Lord, humble myself and say, "Lord, I'm going to dwell in your house forever no matter what." And that stops Satan in his tracks because we have the freedom, the equality with Jesus, our Messiah. Messiah who is life. He rose from the dead. Don't you think he's going to raise the rest of us? It takes faith to believe. But you got it. I know you do. If I can have the faith to believe, you can too. And it's been challenging. Yay. Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil. My God is comforting. He's with me. He's getting me back out of that sin. He's bringing me back away from it. He's nullifying the verdict against me. There is no more condemnation. I am free. free. Free. That's Jesus, our Messiah. And that's what he did on the cross. And that's where you and I get to come in today and share the gospel. Share the good news. Jesus, yes, he was born, but he died and he rose from the grave. And he came back. He came back with his body. He's got a body. He says, "Go ahead, put your hands, your fingers in the holes of my hands and feet. my side. And then he's asking for meat. You got something to eat? I'm hungry. That's Jesus our Lord. So if he can be like that, guess where we're going to end up? This is how we nullify being provoked by Satan. We humble ourselves before him. We call on his name. Thy rod, thy staff, they comfort me. He anoints our head. So our head is pro protected. We're not dwelling on that evil. We're not looking at the evil. We're looking in his eyes at the table that he set before our enemies because he wants to show us off. He wants to show off. Look at how much she loves in me. She is trusting in me. He is trusting in me no matter what. And the enemies that are watching and they're watching. We have a cloud of witnesses. There's demons. There's the devil himself. They're watching and they get mad. Yeah. That's the way this works, my friend. So come back from sin. Don't let it be prosperous. No weapon formed against us shall prosper. This is when you get to start quoting those scriptures. You get to put your eyes on God. You say, "I love you. I'm dwelling with you. I'm going to just be here with you. Share your word. I'mma open up your word. I'mma read it. I'm going to dwell in it. I'm gonna let it fill my heart." That's the God of whom we serve. And that's because of what Jesus did on the cross. He's the altar. We go back to the altar of the cross. So David not only humbled himself, spoke directly with God, asked for forgiveness. He got up. He built an altar to remember. So every time you have holy communion, you remember what Jesus did on the cross. He took the sin of the world and he bore it. He took it. He nullified it. And the verdict says we are not guilty. Yes. Oh, and this is the time when you have all hell breaking loose, you put your foot down on the devil's face and you smush it in and you say, "No more." You call on God and you say, "I worship you, Lord. I praise you. You make my cup runth over. You fulfill me. You anoint me. You call me to you and I come." That's how you deal with the devil. When he comes to provoke him, you kick him out. Amen. Let's close in a word of prayer. Father God, we thank you for your word. Oh Lord, let it enrich us and let us not ever forget your word. Let us not forget what you did on the cross. Let us humble ourselves and come before you. Let's call on you, worship you and keep our eyes focused on you because you are God. You are our creator. You are our savior. You are our redeemer. Thank you. In the name of Jesus we pray. Amen. Amen. God bless you. I will see you in the next message. Previous Next

BUILDING YOUR ARK The purpose of this message is to encourage believers to live righteously and prepare spiritually for the end times by “building their ark” through prayer, meditation on God’s Word, holy communion, and walking in obedience. Just as Noah prepared his ark through faith and obedience, Christians are called to prepare their spiritual lives to be preserved and protected in the day of the Lord. BUILDING YOUR ARK Minister Lisa Kane April 3, 2022 Objective: The purpose of this message is to encourage believers to live righteously and prepare spiritually for the end times by “building their ark” through prayer, meditation on God’s Word, holy communion, and walking in obedience. Just as Noah prepared his ark through faith and obedience, Christians are called to prepare their spiritual lives to be preserved and protected in the day of the Lord. Synopsis: In this teaching, Lisa Kane draws from Genesis 6–7 and the story of Noah to illustrate how God calls His people to prepare for coming judgment and times of shaking. While prophetic scriptures in Ezekiel, Matthew 24, and Revelation describe catastrophic events such as earthquakes, wars, and the tribulation, the message emphasizes the hope and safety available to the righteous in Christ. Believers are urged to live not merely as “saved” but as those who walk in righteousness—much like the wise virgins who kept oil in their lamps. Building one’s ark involves cultivating intimacy with God through prayer, worship, meditating on His Word, and partaking of holy communion. This daily obedience and spiritual discipline provide the “wood, nails, and pitch” that construct a secure place in Christ, the chief cornerstone and strong tower. The message highlights the contrast between mere belief and righteous living, showing how parables such as the Sower and the Ten Virgins apply to end-time preparation. By pursuing righteousness, believers fill their lives with the anointing oil of the Holy Spirit, remain steadfast in faith, and are ready when the day of the Lord comes. Ultimately, “Building Your Ark” is a call to spiritual readiness, reminding the Church that in Christ, the righteous run to Him and are safe, even amid prophetic fulfillment and tribulation. Inspired Teaching - Written and/or Transcribed from Video Above: Hello and welcome to the House of Faith Ministries. I'm Lisa Kaine. I'm recording this on Sunday, April 3rd, 2022. This message is called Building Your Ark. This is an awesome message and you might want to have some tissue around because you're going to need it because this is going to minister to you as a righteous believer. Amen. Let's open up in a word of prayer. Father God, we lift up this word to you and ask for your blessing and anointing on it. let it minister to us and give us that comfort and that peace that we need here in these end times. Thank you for opening up our minds to see and receive this, opening up our hearts to believe and to apply it to our lives. In the glorious name of Jesus, we pray. Amen. Amen. Amen. All right, let's go to our opening scripture here. This message is called building your ark. We're going to start with Genesis chapter 7:es 1 and verse4. Then the Lord said to Noah, "Come into the ark, you and all your household, because I have seen that you are righteous before me in this generation. For after seven more days, I will cause it to rain on the earth 40 days and 40 nights, and I will destroy from the face of the earth all living things that I have made." Last week, or excuse me, two weeks ago, I used this scripture in the message that I taught on. And in the last couple of messages, I dealt with the day of the Lord and no one knows the day nor the hour. And I dealt with the Ezekiel 38 and 39. So, it's been a series of messages that been dealing with prophecy. And you know, I get it. It sounds like it's all doom and gloom because prophecies are horrendous. I mean, Ezekiel talks about that great earthquake on the day of the Lord and that every wall falls. So, where does the bride of Christ get raptured in there? and how does that work? I mean, we we want to understand where we need to be in this. And I I don't have the answers for that. But what I did do is I asked the Lord, I said, I see Noah was put into his ark seven days before. And God told Noah, Noah seven days before that, I'm going to destroy the earth in seven days and have it rain 40 days and 40 nights. So, no one knew. Okay? So, when you know there is a mystery about no one knows the day nor the hour. Check out that last message I taught on and you will understand uh how that applies here because there are two resurrections. We're dealing with the resurrection of the bride of Christ and the resurrection with Israel. But this scripture is for the bride of Christ. These are all of us who believe or what I'm going to be teaching on today is all of us who believe on Jesus. He is our savior. But we're also applying him and living him, living through him, living with him, living as him righteously in today's day. Noah as a righteous man was able to survive the flood. So what I'm going to teach on today is surviving well the day of the Lord. Now, um because I if I look at it chronologically on that day of the Lord, you're looking at the Russia invasion into Israel, Russia being killed and that blood filling up the valley of Armageddon. Then you're looking at um the sky being scrolled away. God is showing himself to the entire world. Everyone's looking up. And then there's this great earthquake or the great earthquake and then the sky scrolls. Not sure, but every wall falls is what Ezekiel calls it. Then there's a the ceiling of the 144,000. And then after the ceiling of the 144,000, you see all these people up in heaven all of a sudden. So you're sitting here going, "Okay, well, is that the chronological thing?" And keep in mind, this could happen in minutes. It could happen in hours, but it is the day of the Lord, and this will happen on that day prophetically. So what I want to teach you is the righteous part of this. Let's let's recall the parable of the 10 virgins. They're all believers in Christ. 50% made it into the wedding. 50% did not. So why didn't the 50% make it? They didn't have enough oil. You need to prepare. This is why Jesus is saying, he didn't say no one knows when. He said no one knows the day or the hour because he wants you to prepare. Which means we need to be in prayer and watching. And when we're in prayer, we are letting the spirit fill with the anointing of the oil. especially if we're speaking in tongues. So, we fill up with the anointing oil because God is the shakina glory. We spend time with God in his presence. We fill up with that anointing oil and the shakina glory. So, when that day comes, we go uh because it is a blessing to those who live righteously and choose to do this. And those that don't believe, well, there's and those that do believe but aren't living righteously, there is a mystery to that. And I want to show that to you, too. So, let's get into our next set of scriptures, and I'm going to show you and lay this out for you so you have an understanding of how this works. Okay? So, we're going to go into first Peter 2. We're going to look at verses 4 to8. coming to him as to a living stone rejected indeed by men but chosen by God and precious. You also as living stones. I wanted to pause here. You see what they're saying? The scriptures say you also living stones. So you've got the chief cornerstone who is Jesus. We're living as Jesus as Christlike. Okay. So this is applicable to us. Watch what Peter says here. You also as living stones are being built up a spiritual house. Remember, we're going to be talking about building your ark. This is hallelujah. This is this is awesome. Okay, I just say this is a great message. Build up a spiritual house, a holy priesthood to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. Therefore, it is also contained in the scripture, behold, I lay in Zion a chief cornerstone, elect precious, and he who believes on him will by no means be put to shame. Therefore, to you who believe, he is precious. And let me pause there because for us believers that are choosing to live righteously, God is precious. And spending time with him is wonderful and lovely and you're filling up with that anointing oil and it is just absolutely beautiful. He's so precious. you put him first. Okay, you see how this is working? Now, let's look at the flip side of that. Continuing on here, but to those who are disobedient, the stone which the builders rejected has become the chief cornerstone and a stone of stumbling and a rock of offense. They stumble being disobedient to the word to which they also were appointed. Okay, so this is for everybody who chooses to live like this, but not everybody chooses to live like this. What happens is there is a parable. It's called the parable of the swer. We're going to look at that scripturally. And I want you to understand something here. As you become a believer in Christ, there are different reactions to the Bible. So, a believer, you know, and and I want you to understand something. The moment you confess your sins and you ask Jesus to be your Lord and Savior, you're saved. Okay? No one will uh how does the word say? Um, all who call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. Everyone who calls upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. If you called on him once in your lifetime, that's it. You're saved. Your name is written in the lamb's book of life. And I contend that it is written in blood. And you can't erase blood. Okay? Now, that doesn't mean you live righteously. It just means you're a believer. Keep in mind, look at Noah when he went up. Look at his predecessors. Methuselah passed away. He was a righteous man. Lamech was there. He uh as a one of the founding fathers there. I don't know how righteous he was. He wasn't called righteous by God, but as a believer, he believed and he was part of that line. So, you have to understand and realize you got different types of people here. Okay? So, let's look at the parable of the swer. And I want you to see what believers do. Now, remember, I'm trying to talk about righteous living to build the ark. But I want you to understand the difference between a righteous living person and a saved person. Different people. Okay? Please understand that different different. All right. Parable of the swer. We're going to look at Matthew 13 18-23. Therefore, hear the parable of the swer. When anyone hears a word of the kingdom and does not understand it, then the wicked one comes and snatches away what was sown in his heart. This is he who received seed by the wayside. But he who received the seed on stony places, this is he who hears the word and immediately receives it with joy. Yet he has no root in himself, but endures only for a while. For when tribulation or persecution arises because of the word, immediately he stumbles. Now he who received seed among the thorns is he who hears the word and the cares of this world and the deceitfulness of riches choke the word and be and he becomes unfruitful. But he who received seed on the good ground is he who hears the word and understands it who indeed bears fruit and produces some 100fold some 60 and some 30. Okay. So you can see the difference now. The moment somebody receives the word, it depends on where they're at. Which means you who become a believer have to build your ark. You have to take the responsibility to get that word to apply and grow in you. Remember, how did God make man? He made him out of dirt. Your dirt. Dirt. dirt. You are dirt. And so what happens is when you become a believer, God planted a seed in your heart. He planted seed in dirt in you. And then when you go get water baptized, you go down under the water. You come up, you saturate the soil with water, you water the seed, the seed begins to germinate. Now, how you go with that seed is up to you. Because see, you need to build your tree because you need the wood to build your ark. So you see the difference of righteous living versus just being a believer because sometimes when you just become a believer, you get you're so caught up in the world and what you see and what you hear, nothing spiritual and you're so caught up that you drown out and you can't go any further because you're not taking the action to go forward. Okay. Difference. You're saved. Remember the the the the parable of the of the 10 virgins. You know, 50% of them made it in the rapture. That is applying to the rapture. But they're all believers. And anyone who calls upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. That's Joel chapter 2 and that is Romans chapter 10:13. Says it twice. Says it in the Old Testament. It says it in the New Testament. Hallelujah. Okay. So, I want you to understand the difference here. So now that you understand there is a blessing for those who live righteous and that righteous living building your ark is what's going to save you when the pro prophecy of this great earthquake where every wall falls, the sky is scrolled and you see God looking down at you. You will be saved because you are in Jesus and you built your ark. So now we're going to start building your ark. And I want you to see these scriptures and I want you to see how this applies because this is for the righteous. Let's look at the scripture here in Psalm. How long this Psalm 4:es 2-5. How long, oh you sons of men, will you turn my glory to shame? Again, we're talking two different groups of people. Okay? So, please understand, we're seeing lawlessness and we're seeing righteous living. Watch this. How long will you love worthlessness and seek falsehood, say, "But know that the Lord has set apart for himself who is godly. The Lord will hear when I call to him. Be angry and do not sin. Meditate within your heart on your bed and be still, say, Lah. Offer the sacrifices of righteousness and put your trust in the Lord. Now, did you see that? God just told you how to live righteously. He said, let's go back. Meditate within your heart on your bed and be still. Then before he says, be angry and do not sin. You have the right to be angry, by the way. You can't let it control you, but you have the right to be angry like what's going on in the world or or the unjust when somebody comes at you unjustly. You get the you have the right to say, you know what, Lord, that makes me angry. Anyways, that's a whole another message in and of itself, but I want you to see I was telling you to meditate on your bed. So again, you can go back to Psalm 91. All my teachings I did last year all pretty much ended up with dwelling in the secret place with the Lord. And that is Psalm 91. And that's what all that is about. So here he's saying meditate on his word. Now you're starting to see what righteous living is like. Now remember the word went to the cross. Oh, okay. Now we're going to show you how to build your ark here. And I'm going to go to Mark here. Let's go look at another scripture. Mark 8:34. When he had called the people to himself with his disciples also, he said to them, "Whoever desires to come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me." Jesus hadn't died on the cross yet. Not at that point. You read all the gospels at that point and you will see that he hadn't done it yet. I bet you these people are sitting there going, "What's he talking about? Take up his own cross." He didn't know. But now that we know that he died on the cross. So again, here is that righteous living. Take up your cross. Sacrifices of righteousness. What is that? Spending time with God is a sacrifice. Your time is valuable. Especially in today's world. We live in a fast acting world where we have to change with the economy and everything that's going on really quickly, especially with the end times. And we're seeing Matthew 24 unfold right before our eyes and potentially Ezekiel 38 with Russia invading Ukraine. So, woohoo. So, we are right in the thick of it. So, take up our cross. Okay. So, let's see how Noah built the ark. Because now that you know what a righteous individual, what your sacrifices are, let's build the ark and see why you meditate on your bed on the word. Remember John 1:1. And the word became flesh. Watch this. Let's go back to Genesis now. Genesis 6. We're going to look at how the ark was built. 15 through8. And this is how you shall make it. The length of the ark, the ark shall be 300 cubits, its width 50 cubits, and its height 30 cubits. You shall make a window for the ark, and you shall finish it to a cubit from above, and set the door of the ark in its side. You shall make it with lower second and third decks. And behold, I myself am bringing floodwaters on the earth to destroy from under heaven all flesh, in which is the breath of life. Everything that is on the earth shall die. But I will establish my covenant with you, and you shall go into the ark, you, your sons, your wife, and your son's wives with you. Okay, here we get to this emotional part because this is absolutely amazing because Noah was told to build his ark and he built it out of gopherwood, pitch, and nails. And God gave him the instruction how to build it, how long it should be. So the instructions for us is to meditate on the word which is the flesh. What did we do? Born into sin. We needed redemption of our sins. We needed Jesus to go to the cross. Watch this. Let's go to Luke. This is this is absolutely incredible. Luke 22:19. And he took bread, gave thanks, and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, "This is my body which is given for you. Do this in remembrance of me." Okay? Again, he hasn't gone to the cross yet, but he's talking about his broken body. Now, this is holy communion he's talking about. And he says to do it in remembrance of him. Why are we remembering and putting him back on the cross? He rose from the cross. He rose from the grave. Why do we have to do that? Because we got to build our ark. We got to meditate on his word. We've got to get righteous. Fill up with the anointing. Let's look at the blood. Look at this. Matthew 26:28. For this is my blood of the new covenant which is shed for many for the remission of sins. Remember, God established a new covenant with Noah. Now, he's establishing a covenant with us by going to the cross. So, for us, we need to remember that covenant. And to remember that, we have holy communion. And then, not only do we have holy communion, we meditate on the word in our quiet time. It's a sacrifice of righteousness. Now, let's watch. Let's watch how this goes because this is going to be absolutely incredible what you're about to read. John 20:27 that he said to Thomas, "Reach your finger here and look at my hands. Reach your hand here and put it into my side. Do not be unbelieving but believing." Why did he Thomas was doubting. He's like, "Unless I see it because I know that he was crucified." What did Jesus do? They crucified him out of wood. Noah had to build his ark out of wood. They nailed his hands and feet to the cross. Noah needed nails to nail every piece together. He put pitch. Noah put pitch on the inside to keep it from leaking and water coming in. Inside, outside. He put pitch everywhere to keep it from the blood of Jesus came out with water out. Noah went into the water. So the blood and the water came out. That was Jesus fulfilling the righteous blessing that we have to be righteous to live in the remission of sins. So when we were born and when we repented we nailed Jesus to the cross because we have to build our ark. He is our chief cornerstone. We took the wood. We applied him to the wood. We applied the nails. We applied the pitch, the blood, and the water. And guess what? You speak, Jesus. And you ask him to save you from your sins. You ask him to save you from that great earthquake that's coming, from the prophecies of the doom and gloom. But if you meditate on him in the word, the righteous run in, you build your ark by putting Jesus up there. And then what does he do? He comes out of the grave three days later. And he says, "I'm right here." And he showed Thomas, look at the scars. I got to put your finger here, but believe. Now you're talking righteousness. And you are talking believing and you are talking your gift. Now look at this scripture that we sang scriptures to all of our lives. At least when I was growing up, this is what we sang to. Proverbs 18:10. The name of the Lord is a strong tower. The righteous run to it and are safe. The righteous run to it and are safe. Oh my friends, you are saved. So in spite of hearing what is about to happen, earthquakes, rumors of earthquakes, wars, rumors of war, famines, pestilence, we have a family coming. For those that aren't aware, it's coming. With all of these negative things coming, where are your eyes? Look it up on him. If you're dwelling, you're making your sacrifices of righteousness. Look at this. Say it again. Offer the sacrifices of righteousness and put your trust in the Lord because he is a strong tower and you get to run into him. But you run into him now. Noah ran into the ark seven days before the flood. So before the earthquake, before the invasion, before the famines, before all of that takes place, you need to be running into your ark that you built by dwelling with God in the secret place by acknowledging, having holy communion, nailing him to the cross, having the broken bread, having the blood, dwelling on the word, reading the word, reading receiving of his word, trusting and believing in his word and you are saved. You know, and remember if you miss it, it you know how many people died in in all the generations before us that didn't go to the rapture. They're believers. They ended up in heaven. Anyone who calls upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. They went to heaven. So the difference is this is we're talking about a rapture here. Just the blessing for those that are living righteous because it's a day that's very weird. It happens on that day. Everything it's going to be a series of events. And when day one starts for the seven-year tribulation that's left for Israel. It's horrific what they're going to go through. You think we're going through tribulation now? This is called a great tribulation. The seven-year tribulation is a different kind of tribulation. It's worse. It's never been seen before. And the first five months, nobody can die. And you're gonna God's going to release uh horses with scorpion tails, some sort of alien being. And they're going to sting people. And the only ones protected at the time will be the 144,000 male Jews who are young virgins that he sealed. That's the only one. So anyone who is left here, this is why you want to catch the boat. You want to build your ark. You want to grab on. You want to be the righteous and you want to run into your ark and be saved. Because when you're running to Jesus, you're acknowledging him and you're giving him the glory. You will be saved. You're saved from that. Amen. Oh, let's close a word of prayer. Father God, we lift up this word and we thank you for it. Thank you for revealing your scriptures. Thank you for encouraging us to dwell in your word, to read your word, to believe and trust in your word so that we can build our heart to acknowledge Jesus on the cross to do what we need to do in remembrance with holy communion and that we can call on your name and know that we he is our strong tower and we can run into him and be safe saved. Thank you, Father God, for saving us. Thank you for protecting us and keeping us as we watch your end times be revealed here. Oh, hallelujah. Stuff that you prophesied thousands of years ago, we get to witness it. Thank you, Father God. In the glorious name of Jesus, we pray. Amen. God bless each and every one of you and I will see you in the next video. Bye-bye. Previous Next

CAN YOU LOSE SALVATION The purpose of this message is to provide a biblical understanding of salvation and to address the common question: “Can a believer lose their salvation?” Through Scripture and personal testimony, the teaching emphasizes that salvation is a gift from God, grounded in His love and faithfulness, not in human performance. It seeks to strengthen believers’ trust in Christ, highlight the importance of relationship over fear, and reveal that while believers may drift in their walk, their salvation remains secure in Jesus. CAN YOU LOSE SALVATION Minister Lisa Kane July 23, 2023 Objective: The purpose of this message is to provide a biblical understanding of salvation and to address the common question: “Can a believer lose their salvation?” Through Scripture and personal testimony, the teaching emphasizes that salvation is a gift from God, grounded in His love and faithfulness, not in human performance. It seeks to strengthen believers’ trust in Christ, highlight the importance of relationship over fear, and reveal that while believers may drift in their walk, their salvation remains secure in Jesus. Synopsis: In this teaching, Lisa Kane explores the assurance of salvation through the lens of God’s Word and relational intimacy with Him. Beginning with 2 Timothy 1:7, she contrasts the spirit of fear with the spirit of power, love, and a sound mind, urging believers to reject fear-based teachings about losing salvation. Drawing from John 6:37–39, she highlights Jesus’ promise that He will not cast out those given to Him by the Father. Through examples such as Peter’s immaturity, the rich young ruler, and the repentant thief on the cross, Lisa demonstrates how salvation is rooted in confession, belief, and trust in Christ—not in works, goodness, or continuous outward performance. She shares her own testimony of experiencing spiritual ups and downs, showing that God’s patience and mercy remain constant even when believers waver. The message also explains that while salvation is eternal and secure, neglecting one’s walk with God can lead to bondage, hardship, and discipline, as illustrated in the book of Judges. Yet, the call of Christ is always relational: “Come, let us reason together” (Isaiah 1:18). Lisa emphasizes that salvation is both deliverance from eternal separation and daily deliverance from life’s trials through trust in Jesus. The teaching concludes with an invitation to embrace the assurance of God’s saving power, reject fear, and live in joyful partnership with Christ, knowing that salvation cannot be lost but can always be lived out more fully through faith and obedience. Inspired Teaching - Written and/or Transcribed from Video Above: Hello and welcome to the House of Faith Ministries. I'm Lisa Kaine. I'm recording this on Sunday, July 23rd, 2023. Welcome. This message is called, can you lose salvation? I've been seeing this question a lot on social media and I'd like to address it uh with the word of God as well as an understanding of the relationship value. As you know, I started teaching on relationship. Uh the last message was talking about God the father and now and that relationship with the father. So here we're going to talk about salvation in this. Amen. Let's open up in a word of prayer. Father God, we thank you for your word. We thank you for who you are. We thank you that we can trust in you, that you are reliable, that you are faithful, and that you are true to your word. It gives us such peace and comforting. Father God, thank you for your longsuffering. Thank you for your gentleness. You're full of loving kindness because without it and without your mercy, well, there's nothing here then. But you made it valuable. You made us valuable in you, Father God. Thank you, Lord. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. And we blessed this word and ask for your blessing on it. May it go out. May the ears that hear it hear and understand and receive and believe. May the eyes that see it see and open up and realize they can have faith and trust in you and believe in you in the glorious name of Jesus. Let their hearts and minds be open to receive, believe, and walk in that trust and faith in the name of Jesus. Amen. Amen. Amen. Let's go to our opening scripture here. We are going to start here in 2 Timothy 1:7. For God is not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind. Initially, I was going to call this message spirit of love. But I because I was dealing with the message of salvation within it, I decided to go ahead and call it can you lose salvation. Now, did you see something here in this scripture? Look at this. He said he didn't give us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind. So if you hear a preacher tell you something like, "Well, just in case you should live for God because you just never know." That's called the spirit of fear. And Paul clearly tells us that Jesus did not give us a spirit of fear. And that every preacher and teacher out there should not be teaching in the spirit of fear. I understand you're worried. I understand that you're hoping that this might light a fire under someone, but you have to understand sometimes the power of love breaks through the hardness, especially in today's generation. How many people are desensitized right now with fear? Roller coasters, these video games, they've ra been raised in this. They're not going to respond to well just in case factor. And then you still have a lot of people like in my generation or even my parents' generation if they wanted to party, they were going to party until they finally settled down and then they decided, "Okay, I'll live for Jesus now." They heard about him, but they chose to do it later in their life. So, what I want to do is I want to talk about how salvation works and how we're dealing with um a time value factor in here and how Jesus is, who he is, because I talked about the relationship of the father last week and Jesus. When you know Jesus, you know the father because Jesus follows the will of the father. Let's um summarize and let's look at that here real quickly. John 6:37-39 because I want you to see how he's also saying he's not going to lose anyone. All that the father gives me will come to me and the one who comes to me I will by no means cast out. So the question I have for you, we're going to get to the rest of these scriptures here in just a moment. Is what kind of God do you think God is that you can lose your salvation? You really think that he's cruel enough to let you believe 20 years ago, but now that you've kind of drifted away that he's going to reject you? I want you see if we understand who God is, we can understand the miracle of salvation. This is very, very powerful, very enlightening. I hope you are uh awake to this and receive and believe. And if you're struggling with this, pause the video. Go to the Lord. Start with him. By the way, don't start with any preacher, teacher, or anyone out there, okay? Don't go by man. Go by the scripture and get into the relationship with God. And I promise you, he's going to answer this very question for you. And he's answered it for me. And this is what I'm teaching here right now. Let's continue on with the scripture. He's not going to cast out by no means uh cast out for and now verse 38. For I have come down from heaven not to do my own will but the will of him who sent me this is the will of the father who sent me that of all he has given me I should lose nothing but should raise it up at the last day. And if you continue to read you will find and he's talking about salvation there. So now you know what I want you to see is I I want you to understand that this is a very intimate thing. Salvation is to the individual and there and you have to understand Jesus clearly says I'm the way, the truth and the life. No man comes to the father except through me. So it has to be done through Jesus. But is there a rule, a guideline that we need to follow in the scriptures that tell us how to get saved? Because and and I'm going to make a very powerful statement here. I hope I can say it right. You see, you need salvation to get into heaven. You need salvation to live for Christ. But you do not need to live for Christ to get into heaven. We're going to see that in the scriptures here. And I want you to understand that God is dealing with this on an individual level when it comes to salvation. Look at what there there's a very interesting transaction that Peter mentions. And if you go watch Peter in the scriptures from the gospels all the way to first and second Peter written many many many years later. Look at the growth and the maturity that Peter went through. It's very very powerful. But look at him how immature he is right here. And this by the way takes us to where we all are today. Look at this. John 21:21-22 Peter seeing him said to Jesus but Lord what about this man he's referring to John and verse 22 Jesus said to him if I will that he remain till I come what is that to you you follow me so Jesus clearly had to put Peter back on the right path don't look at him don't so when you we've been given the ability to judge people think about is think about this. You You want to judge people, you better judge on fact, but do you really know what the fact is in their heart or in their mind? With the Lord, you do not know that. You're basing it on what you think you see, and you don't even see the whole picture. You see one action. I promise you, I'm going to use a scenario here that we're going to use throughout the teaching of this message. So, let's say somebody got saved 20 years ago, okay? and they were on fire for God for a few weeks and then they got choked out because they never rooted in. They got choked out by the worldly daily living style. So now you know few months go by and the Lord is patient. You know you hadn't talked to the Lord in a few months. You you were on fire but he's patient. He's waiting for you. But something happens. A tragedy happens, car accident, somebody dies, and you go, "Jesus, why?" And you grieve and you call on Jesus, and you kind of come back and you're you're talking with him. You actually open up the Bible. You go searching preachers and and and you do and then that lasts for a while and then it drifts off again. In my own personal experience, I went through this. I call it the yo-yo effect. I mean really I I remember I would be on fire I I became born again when I was six years old. I grew up in the church and uh as a young married woman 21 years old and my life went up and down with the Lord. We would go to revival meetings and then I mean months would go by wouldn't even think of the Lord wouldn't read the scriptures. Does that mean I lost my salvation in that time frame even though God was the furthest thing from my mind? No. simply was he was patient. He waited for me and things would happen and I would realize in fact it came I finally came to the personal re revelation and the realization that my living for Christ was a yo-yo. It went up and down. And I went to the Lord and I said I one I said I was sorry. I said I don't know why I'm like this. I need your help. Because see, there's two things about the flesh. It's in time. So today, I feel great. Tomorrow, will I feel the same? How many days do we wake up in the week where we feel awesome? And how many days do we wake up in the week when we don't feel awesome? How many times do we pick up the Bible when we're hurting? And how many times do we pick up the Bible when we just want to? You see the difference? We're in the flesh and we're driven by emotions. Today, I feel like reading my Bible. You see, that's what the mentality is of a I'm going to call it an immature Christian. Somebody who doesn't have self-control. So, now you get into the gifts of the Holy Spirit where you need some self-control. And you can go read that in uh Galatians, Ephesians. You self-control is very, very powerful. You need to have that and that means when you don't feel like it is the biggest time you need to pick up your Bible and relate with God. Another thing that we deal with here, not just the time in the flesh, but it's the relationship factor of the value of trust. We don't trust God enough to keep us saved after he saved us. Oh, we're going to show that here very very clearly and I want you to understand. So, we're going to get into the the meat of the scripture here. I'm going to read a lot of scriptures here. We'll probably pause in here. This is Mark 10 and we're going to start with verse 17 and we're we're going to go to verse 30. Now, as he was going out on the road, one came running, knelt before him, and asked him, "Good teacher, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life?" So Jesus said to him, "Why do you call me good? No one is good but one that is God." I'm going to pause here because a lot of people get tripped up on the scripture here. Okay? Jesus said and I taught this in the last and you saw in the uh scriptures I did earlier that Jesus says I'm here to do the will of the father. If you know me, you know the father. So Jesus is setting an example of hey I'm obeying my father. Remember the ten commandments honor thy father and mother. He obeyed his father. His father said you go lay down your life for these people and I will give it to you again. You can pick it up again. And Jesus clearly told us that. I taught it in the last message. So he says, "I'm going to go do the will of the father." So here Jesus is saying, "I'm not the one that's good." Remember, he's in the flesh here, but he's saying, "I'm doing the will of the father." But I'm going to promise you that once he is crucified now, he becomes spirit with God. Even though he is the son of God, he's in the flesh and he's identifying himself as flesh, not good. Good is God. But he's saying, "I'm here to do the will of God." Which by the way, are you good or are you not? Because see, a lot of people also measure salvation in how good you are. So Jesus is clearly saying goodness is not going to get you into heaven. He's telling you obey the father. Doesn't matter if Jesus is saying he's not good. Whatever you're doing that you think you're good, you're not. And that's a humbling experience, believe you me, when you finally come to recognize that you're not good. It will help you on the inside realize how much you need God. So, let's continue on here. And as you can see, these scriptures is dealing with salvation, eternal life. Watch this. Okay, so verse 18. So, Jesus said, oh, excuse me, verse 19, you know the commandments. Do not commit adultery. Do not murder. Do not steal. Do not bear false witness. Do not defraud. Honor your father and your mother. And let's pause there again. The t before Jesus came, you had to follow the ten commandments. That was the law. And the nation of Israel presented the law to the world through God. And so you need to obey the ten commandments. So now Jesus is telling him, okay, you know, I haven't been crucified yet. Uh you don't have the salvation. So he's telling him, so Jesus is identifying this transitional period. Okay? He's alive. He's still flesh. He's man. He hasn't been crucified yet. But he's telling this man, you need to follow the Ten Commandments. This is how it was prior to Jesus being crucified. Now, let's continue. And he answered and said to him, "Teacher, all these things I have kept from my youth." Okay. Now, this guy's like, "I've done it. I'm good. Woohoo. I'm ready." Jesus says something that's very powerful. Watch this. Then Jesus looking at him loved him. Pause. I'm going to show you a mystery here. See, I was going to call this message spirit of love. Do you see that Jesus loved him? Hey, LGBTQ, whatever community you are now, Jesus loves you. Now, look what Jesus tells you. and said to him, "One thing you lack." Good isn't going to get you into heaven. Following the Ten Commandments anymore isn't going to get you into heaven because that's not salvation. Look at here. Go your way, sell whatever you have, and give to the poor and you will have treasure in heaven. and come take up the cross and follow me." Look what his response was. But he was sad at this word and went away sorrowful for he had great possessions. Pause. What's more valuable to you? Eternal life or your possessions? I promise you, your possessions are going to die. They're going to go away. The moment you die, somebody else is going to take your possessions. It doesn't matter. This earth is dying. Take a look. Go out there. Go see the world. See the destruction in the world. See it dying every day. Change your value to eternity. It's very very important that you do that because you want to live. Eternal life is a long time compared to the life we live here. You give up this life, you will pick it up again because that's what Jesus says. Look at this verse 23. Then Jesus looked around and said to his disciples, "How hard it is for those who have riches to enter the kingdom of God." And look at what the dis look at verse 24 here. And the disciples were astonished at his words. You and I should be shocked. If God is so merciful, if he is so merciful, then how come it's so hard? Because this man chooses his possessions. It's based on that man, not Jesus. And Jesus is saying it's very hard for him. And even his disciples are astonished. Continue on. But Jesus answered again and said to them, "Children, how hard it is is for those who trust in riches to enter the kingdom of God." Key word there is trust. Now Jesus is getting to the root of the matter here. He's telling you by this man's actions, this rich man who went away sorrowful, this rich man could not trust Jesus with his possessions. He could not take them off, give them up to trust that Jesus would give him eternal life. Now look what Jesus says because now we're dealing with the relationship factor. We're dealing with trust. Watch this. It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God. Now there's a mystery behind this. I had heard this and the first time I heard this I think I was astonished as the disciples. Listen to this. So in a city wall there are different gates. You've got the main gate that is wide. A lot of people can enter the but there are smaller gates where you don't have to walk around the entire city to enter. These small gates are very small. the only way you can enter them. And and if you traveled in your camel, you had to take everything off your camel. You had to take everything off your person. You had to put it down on the ground, push the camel through, get the camel to go through, push your possessions through the gate on the floor. You had to leave them down, get yourself through the gate, pick it all up, and load your camel back up. Isn't that revelation? It's awesome. Jesus is saying in the same manner, if you want to get saved, you got to take off everything that you because what do we put on our shoulders? What we consider valuable? If you put stress on yourself from your job, stress on your children, how they're living, stress or finances, where you put it all on your shoulders and you carry that. And when you carry that, you're saying I am handling it, not God. And Jesus is saying, if you want to get saved, and now we're talking about salvation, trust, this is eternal life, you have to take the world off. Put it down at your feet. Say, "Jesus, I'm sorry. I'm the one who's guilty, and I'm laying all this at your feet." And Jesus says, "Come with me." And then he says, "Pick it up." And he's going to give you that life again. That's what salvation is. Let's continue on now because this gets very interesting at this point. So now here the the the uh disciples are just and they were greatly astonished saying among themselves, "Who then can be saved?" because now they're realizing for the first time I I don't even know if I'm saved because and yeah, did did you go to Jesus? Did you ask him to forgive you? And remember that we're going to have scriptures that's going to show us that we need to do that. But here Jesus hasn't been crucified. He's revealing it to his disciples. Look at the transaction here. Who then can be saved? Verse 27. But Jesus looked at them and said, "With men it is impossible, but not with God, for with God all things are possible." What God is saying here, what Jesus is saying here is that I'm your salvation. I will take care of your salvation. I will save you. And it has nothing to do with what you do other than you come to me and humble yourself and say I'm guilty because you are. And he goes I will have you pick up your life again. I will save you and I will bring you into the eternal kingdom. This is very very powerful. You have to understand that this was a whole new concept to the disciples. a whole new concept because now they're realizing, well, wait a minute. We're here with you, Jesus. But see, they're not in the spirit yet. Let's continue on. Let's continue. It's very powerful. Then Peter began to say to him, see, we have left all and followed you. So now Jesus or Peter is saying, okay, I am taking my example of what we just did. We're following you. We gave it up. He gave up his fishing uh career to follow Jesus. So look at what Jesus says here. This is very, very powerful because now we're also talking about living for Christ here. Salvation is when you acknowledge you're guilty, but now he's saying, "Come walk with me because I'm going to have you pick up your life again, but you're going to do it with me." We're going to do this hand in hand together. Look at what Jesus says. So Jesus answered and says, "Surely I say to you, there is no one who has left house or brothers or sisters or father or mother or wife or children or lands for my sake and the gospels who shall not receive a hundfold now in this time houses and brothers and sisters and mothers and children and lands with persecutions and in this age to come eternal life." Now he's identifying something here. Notice the double negative. Let's let's check that so we can clarify. No one who has left. And then he says who shall not receive. So anyone who has left shall receive. What are they going to receive who choose to walk with Christ? Hundfold now in this time. He's not talking eternal life. Now because see he's having to address the factor of time. You and I are walking on this earth in time. These are the years we're in. We live in this time frame. Jesus is saying in this time, I'm going to give you a hundfold. If you choose to live for me, you leave your father, you leave your mother, you come follow me. But he says, I will give you everything. You know, in my personal testimony, I remember uh being in one of those moments. I was far far away from the Lord and I went to the Lord and actually I was on the stairs and he came to me. Uh I could hear his voice as clear as can be rushing waters. Um and he told me to go to church and I by the way I'll tell you how far my attitude was and and keep in mind I didn't lose my salvation. See everybody has a personal experience with God at some point or another and something triggers you something works in you. This is why it's so intimate and it's with you in my intimate moment with the Lord. There I am walking up or down the stairs. I don't remember. This is a long time ago, but I hear this voice telling me in the back of my head, "Go to church. Go to church." It was a litany. It was building up. It was a c. I mean, we're talking. It was getting louder and louder. I finally turned around. I was mad. I and I I actually stomped my foot on the stairs and I said, "Oh, I do not need to and I stopped. I just realized what I was saying to God. I had a an epiphany, a realization. I had this moment where I just realized who I was talking to and I said, "Yes, Lord, we'll be at church on Sunday." And that particular Sunday, you want to talk about a spiritual warfare battle. My husband and I walked out on that parking lot. We were I thought we were five minutes late. We were 35 minutes late. We were going to a little church in a school and nobody was around and I didn't know what door to go in. I picked a door to go in. My husband and I have been fighting, arguing that whole time. Open the door. And of course, we open the door right on the stage with the pastor preaching. Pastor stops and looks behind him, looks at us. I you you want to see an astonished look if they had that on video. I grabbed my husband's hand. I grabbed my daughter's hand. And I smiled at him, nodded my head, walked past him, walked all the way to the back seat, uh, the back row. It was like only 10 rows, maybe 15 rows, sat down, and of course, after the church service, everybody came up to us, and I thought for sure we were done, my husband and I. And in that parking lot, walking up there, my husband was arguing, we were arguing, and I had looked up to the Lord, and I said, "You know what, Lord? I'm giving him to you because I I don't know what to do with him, and I'm not going to even try." So, as we were coming out of the church service, walking back to the car, I said to my husband, "When are we getting a divorce?" He gave me this weird look like, "What are you talking about?" He goes, "That was great. Did you hear him preach about Peter and this and that?" I mean, and my husband is and you ought to talk about a reality. His spirit was changed. His spirit was changed. All because I said to the Lord after I obeyed him, I give him to you. I promise you guys, you will have that intimate moment of that salvation with the Lord. You just have to go and pause. And if you're watching this video, you probably already had that. But and did you see the other part of that? You know, you're going to have this in this time, but you're also going to have uh with persecution. You're going to have your households, your brothers, and your sisters, and your mothers, and children, and lands with persecutions in the age to come. And in the age to come, eternal life. So, you're going to have your possessions here, but you're going to have them with persecutions. And then in the age to come. So, he's talking about you're living your life here now for, and then you're going to have eternal life here. You're going to be dealing with persecutions. Believe you and me, as much peace and joy as I have, I still deal with those persecutions. But my eternity is set. My eternity is set. Now, let's talk about the basic function of salvation. Remember, I made a powerful statement earlier. And you need salvation to enter heaven. You need salvation to live for Christ. You don't need to live for Christ to get to heaven. You see the difference here? So, let's look at um how salvation works. And I taught on this already. It's very basic, very simple. Luke 23:39-43. Then one of the criminals who were hanged blasphemed him, saying, "If you are the Christ, save yourself and us." But the other answer and rebuked him, saying, "Do you not even fear God, seeing you are under the same condemnation?" So, we're looking at two thieves on each side of Jesus. They're having a conversation. The one thief is telling Jesus, "Get up. Save yourself and save us." The other thief says, "Hey, why are you kicking the man that's already down? Hey, you're down, too." Talk about a spirit of evil. You ever If you're wondering why some people don't get saved, look at that thief. You know what? Do you really want that kind of an attitude coming into heaven, into your home? Really? No. And this thief, he told him, "Hey, you need to stop. Let's continue on that conversation. Look, he told him, look at what he says. And we indeed justly for we receive the rewards of our reward of our deeds, but this man has done nothing wrong. In other words, he just simply said, I'm guilty. You're guilty because that we're here because we got caught. But Jesus is innocent. And then look what he says to Jesus. They said to Jesus, "Lord, remember me when you come into your kingdom." And Jesus said to him, "Assuredly I say to you today you will be with me in paradise." That's all it takes. Did that man Did that thief get off the cross and go get water baptized? No, you do not need to be water baptized to be saved. Did that thief get off the cross and go start speaking in tongues? No, you do not have to speak in tongues. You do not be you do not have to be filled with the Holy Spirit to go to heaven. Did that thief get off the cross and go door to door and save souls? No, you don't have to go save souls to get into heaven. All he said was, "We're guilty." And Jesus remembered me. And that's all it takes to get saved. And he went to heaven. This is why I make the bold statement. Living for Christ isn't going to get you to heaven. Going to church isn't going to get you to heaven. And anyone who teaches that is a false teaching. You need to pray for them. Walk away from them. Give them to the Lord. In fact, you might be there to pray for them. You might even have an opportunity to show them the scripture. Ask this question. What? Why is the thief saved? But your your doctrine is telling me I have to do this. If the thief can save, can't I be saved? You need to put that to them in hopes that they finally realize I've been teaching wrong. And it's okay. You know what? Anyone who we're living in time one day, this is what you believe today. what you believe tomorrow. You finally mature. You get more scriptures and you realize and you correct yourself. It's a growth. I'm going to tell you right now, pastors, preachers, teachers, we're human beings. We're going to make mistakes. This is why. Don't listen to us, but go to the scriptures and find out for yourself. Most importantly, humble yourself before the Lord. Acknowledge your guilt. I'm guilty. This is why I'm going to you, Jesus. Look at uh what Paul said in Romans, Romans 10:9, that if you confess with your mouth, did that thief confess with his mouth? You betcha. He told that other thief in the presence of Jesus, "We're innocent." Or, "He's innocent. We're guilty." He confessed with his mouth. And look at this. He said, "And believe in your heart that God has raised him from the dead." He looked at Jesus. He knows Jesus is going to die. He knows Jesus is going to die. And he says, "Remember me when you enter your kingdom." And Jesus said, "I promise you, you will be with me in paradise today." Paul nailed it when he said, "And believe in your heart that God has raised from that, you will be saved." Jesus told that thief, "You will be saved." Oh, my friend, if you could just grab this and then for those that really truly believe that one can lose their salvation, you would make the Bible a lie with these scriptures. Romans 10:13, for whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved. um if I called on him when I was 10 but hadn't called on him till I was 30 and I let's say I didn't make it to 30 and I died in that time frame. Does the Bible tell you that? No. The Bible does not tell you that. Anyone who calls upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. Jesus, you're if you're in a plane, you're coming down. Jesus. He knows your situation. You will be saved. And you didn't have to live for Christ to get saved. Look what else. And by this, by this, it's also reiterated in the Old Testament, too. Look at this. Joel 2:32. And it shall come to pass that whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved. That's exactly what Paul just said. Look at what else he says here, because this is so powerful. For in Mount Zion and in Jerusalem there shall be deliverance as the Lord has said among the remnant who whom the Lord calls. Look at that. Whom the Lord calls. Remember salvation is from the Lord and he is going to do the saving. Not you and not any action you take. And when he calls you and you confess him and believe, you're delivered. Guess what? You're delivered off the cross. That thief came off the cross alive in paradise. that people you don't realize but salvation is getting into heaven but it also saves you from the circumstances you live in here if you are dealing with cancer you can say Jesus you are Lord over cancer and that will save you deliver you from cancer by this is so powerful this has been preached and taught in the Old Testament and in the New Testament Jesus just he fulfilled it with his blood, his perfect blood, and he he washed away the sins. We're still in the flesh. We're still in time. So, we still deal with the persecutions. We still deal with sin. But you will obey his commandments once you call on him. And I think part of reason why people don't get saved and don't call on God so much. They're afraid of that. They're afraid of a transformation. Look at me. I'm not out there in the world partying. I I don't want anything to do with it. They look at that and they think, "Well, I like the world." And remember, eye of the needle, the camel in the eye of the needle. Take it off and God will give it back to you. It's not to say that I don't enjoy my life. It doesn't rule me, but believe you me, I get to go and enjoy. I'm in the process of watching my brand new home be built. We went there yesterday evening in the dusk just to look at the area, listen to the cicas, and and they were loud. It's like an electrical box going off. But it was it was so nice. I will tell you right now, I enjoy my life. I I laid it down. And I gave it to the Lord and he said, "Okay, pick it back up and now we're going to do this together." And I trusted him. I I I spent my time with him. I give him the glory. I pray. Yes. I put him first because everything else balances itself out. I feel better when I put him first. That is my Lord and Savior. And I'm telling you right here, right now in this teaching, you can't lose your salvation. If you call on the Lord 20 years ago, you can call on him again and you can start to live for him. Now, I will tell you this much. Scripture does teach us, and I'm not putting it in here because the message already long in and of itself. Uh if you're not living for Christ and you do wander and you disobey something out of the Bible, even out of ignorance, hear that. Even out of ignorance, he's making you responsible for this. You will have to suffer from his curses. Go read the book of Judges. How he deals with the nation of Israel is amazing. I'm I'm studying the book of Judges right now and it's just incredible. So Joshua dies, the spirit of the Lord comes on one guy, comes on another, comes on Deborah, comes on Gideon, comes on Samson. So you see all the judges throughout the time. And uh uh but the what happened is they would get into bondage every time they did evil before the Lord. So instead of serving God himself, they would go to the balls and the aster. And when they did that, they would have 20 years. They would go into bondage. They would be bond to the Medidianites. They were bond to the Philistines. They they were enslaved to them. And they called on the Lord because now they're suffering. So, you know, when you call on Christ, you get saved. If you drift away, you get into you're not rooted into the word of God and you drift um and and you're not thinking about him. Like I said, you you can't lose your salvation, but you will go into bondage and you will suffer. And and God showed us through the nation of Israel. And he's showing you. You're just ignoring it. So if you're wondering why your job or you're suffering at your job or you can't get places or why you're sick all the time or why you're sick with some rare disease, that's God calling on you, saying, "Can you trust me to take care of that?" Because you're you're with me. We're trying to do this together, but you're way over there. I'm right here. I need you to come back to me. That's what Jesus is saying. Isaiah 1:18, "Come, let us reason together." All he wants is a relationship with you. Let's do it together. Let's live your life together. Do you know that God has a personal book on you? And he writes everything in it that you do, who you are, what you're thinking, because Satan can't tell what you're thinking. But God knows. He knows the heart of man. He knows exactly what you're thinking. Conniving, manipulating. He knows. He's not surprised. But you can shock him when you say, "Lord, I'm sorry." You know, even though he sees the future, he knows the future. And and if you already saved, if you choose to live for him, you can surprise him. You know, this is more of an impression, not like the event on the stairs. But when I chose to live for Christ, this was a decision that you make. I decided I wanted to be a preacher teacher. U I felt called to do this. I felt this for many, many years. I just wasn't ready until a handful of years ago. And uh one night there I was laying in my bed. I think I woke up around 3:00 in the morning. That 3:00 in the morning time is just interesting. I am very positive right outside my window, maybe a little ways away. The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit were there. And I remember praying and I said, "Lord, I'm not letting go of you. It was a very special moment. This is what I'm talking about. Each of us have intimate moments that that help us work out our salvation. Trust issues with him because it becomes now trust. Do you trust the Lord that he will save you? If you're still thinking that any sin out there is going to keep you down, no, you're you can be delivered. Jesus, anyone who calls upon the name of the Lord shall be delivered, shall be saved. Say it. Do it. Get out of your bondage. Live for Christ. Put him first. He And then he's going to tell you, "Pick up your life and let's go. We're going to do this together." It's awesome. And I promise you, life is better with Jesus than without. Hallelujah. Let's close in a word of prayer. Father God, we thank you for your word. We thank you for your blessing. We thank you for your anointing. We thank you for your salvation. We thank you for your mercy, your grace, your longsuffering because you are great and you want to save us and we want to be saved. At least the ones that want to be saved are saying we want to be saved. So save us, Lord. Thank you for building our trust in you and knowing that we're saved and that the devil can't take that away from us. We love you and praise you and in the name of Jesus, amen. God bless you. I will see you in the next message. Byebye. Previous Next

YOU ARE AN HEIR The objective of this lesson is to help believers understand their divine identity and authority as heirs of God through Jesus Christ. By exploring the relationship between faith, confession, and action, this teaching aims to reveal how believers can move beyond mere belief into living as true sons and daughters who walk in their inheritance with confidence and purpose. YOU ARE AN HEIR Minister Lisa Kane October 8, 2025 Objective: The objective of this lesson is to help believers understand their divine identity and authority as heirs of God through Jesus Christ. By exploring the relationship between faith, confession, and action, this teaching aims to reveal how believers can move beyond mere belief into living as true sons and daughters who walk in their inheritance with confidence and purpose. Synopsis: In You Are an Heir, Minister Lisa Kane draws from Galatians 4:1-7 to unveil the transformation that occurs when a believer accepts Jesus Christ—not only receiving salvation but also stepping into full spiritual inheritance as a son or daughter of God. Through Scriptures such as Romans 10:9 and James 2:19-24, this teaching highlights that faith must go beyond acknowledgment; it must be expressed through confession and action. Believers are reminded that their words and walk demonstrate the intent of their faith and activate their authority in Christ. As heirs of the Most High, Christians are called to live above the influence of darkness, exercising their God-given power through faith-filled words, works, and steadfast trust in the Father. Inspired Teaching - Written and/or Transcribed from Video Above: Galatians 4:1-7 KJV Now I say, That the heir, as long as he is a child, differeth nothing from a servant, though he be lord of all; 2 But is under tutors and governors until the time appointed of the father. 3 Even so we, when we were children, were in bondage under the elements of the world: 4 But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law, 5 To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons. 6 And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father. 7 Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ. The moment you ask Jesus to forgive you and you believe, you become an heir of God. 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. That confession is what directs you to walk as an heir of God vs an unbeliever. You are immediately given authority in Christ because you believe. Believe is another way of having faith, but remember, devils believe too. James 2:19 KJV 19 Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble. That means we need to walk in ‘more’ than just belief. James 2:20-24 KJV 20 But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead? 21 Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar? 22 Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect? 23 And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the Friend of God. 24 Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only. We need to work our faith. Going back to Romans 10:9, by ‘confessing with your mouth’, that’s another way to act on your faith. Speak the word of God over your situation. Confession of mouth, ‘out loud’ speaking, tells everything listening, our cloud of witnesses, the intent of your belief. The other part of faith, believing is to walk with intent upon your belief. For example, if the doctor gives you bad news, you can take that to the Lord and say, ‘Lord, I don’t accept this news. I choose to walk under your healing and not under the guidance of the doctors suggestion.’ That’s another way to walk in faith. These are steps that go beyond even what the devil believes. You can do this because you are an heir of the most high. You have authority under that title, which places you above the devil and demons. The question I have for you, will you walk as a Christian according to your title? Because if you do, you will walk in faith and see God move in your life. Previous Next
