  • EMPOWERMENT FOR THE GIFTS OF THE HOLY SPIRIT | House of Faith Ministries (HoFM)

    Say this prayer out loud: Precious Father in Heaven creator of Heaven and earth, in the Name of Jesus your only begotten Son I now come. Lord, no god has ever taken for himself out of the nations, a peculiar people like You have. By fiery trials, by miraculous signs and wonders, and by spiritual warfare. By Your mighty hand and an outstretched arms on the cross and by the great and awesome deed of the resurrection from the dead. You provided for us the Bread that came down from heaven, the Lamb of God, Your Living Word. You enabled us to drink His blood, precious and holy, for the New Covenant. From heaven you made us to hear Your voice, to discipline and empower us. On earth You showed Your tongues of fire, to fill us with Your power in accordance to Your promises. Lord fill me now with your Holy Spirit, fulfill Your promise in me. And grant me Your gifts with power. Dear Lord that Your authority may be displayed in me and that I may serve You faithfully. Rescue me, O Lord, from evil things; protect me from men of violence, who devise evil plans in their hearts and stir up war every day against me. They make their tongues as sharp as a serpent's; the poison of vipers is on their lips. Protect me, O Lord, from the words of the wicked one; Guard me your servant and my family with the hedge of Your unfailing love. Praise be to You dear Lord, my Rock, You train my hands for war, my fingers for battle. For if I cast out demons by the finger of God, then the Kingdom of God has come upon me with power and dominion. That I may occupy till You come dear Lord. Hallelujah! For salvation and glory and power belong to our God, for true and just are His judgments. He has condemned the greatly corrupted kingdom of the enemy here on earth, and has given the dominion to us His servants, by covering us with His blood. Hallelujah! For our Lord God Almighty reigns. Let us rejoice and be glad and give him glory! He looked and saw how helpless my situation was. So His own arm worked salvation for me, and by His righteousness I am sustained in Him, empowered to do His mighty will.

  • SEARCHING FOR THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOD | House of Faith Ministries (HoFM)

    SEARCHING FOR THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOD Written Teaching Minister Lisa Kane September 3, 2025 Objective To teach believers how to diligently seek, receive, and apply the Word of God as their greatest treasure, so they may understand the fear of the Lord, walk in His wisdom, and obtain the knowledge that guards, directs, and transforms their lives. Synopsis This message, based on Proverbs 2:1–12, unpacks the biblical process of discovering the knowledge of God. It begins with receiving and confessing God’s Word, as Romans 10:9 affirms, and continues by treasuring His commands within the heart. Believers are called to incline their ears to wisdom, apply their hearts to understanding, and cry out for knowledge with the same passion as one who seeks hidden treasures. The teaching emphasizes that when God’s Word is sought and hidden like precious silver, it brings divine covering and separation from the world’s snares (Psalm 91:1). This pursuit leads to understanding the fear of the Lord and finding His knowledge, which becomes a lamp to our path (Psalm 119:105). With wisdom entering the heart, discretion and understanding preserve the believer, delivering them from evil influences and guiding them in righteousness, judgment, and every good path. Ultimately, the message calls believers to make God’s Word their highest priority—treating it as a treasure—so they may walk under His covering, avoid the traps of the enemy, and live in the awareness and authority of God’s presence. Written and/or Transcribed Teaching from Video Opening scripture: Proverbs 2:5 KJV 5 Then shalt thou understand the fear of the Lord, and find the knowledge of God. Notice the first word in this verse, ‘then’. What must we do to understand the fear of the Lord and to find His knowledge. Let’s start at verse 1: Proverbs 2:1 My son, if thou wilt receive my words, and hide (hoard, reserve) my commandments with thee; The Holy Bible is the Words of God. In order to understand them, you need to receive them. How do you receive them? By confessing and acknowledging them as Romans 10:9 tells us. 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. We can see a pattern in Proverbs 2. First, receive, then hide or hoard/reserve those words. How do you hide or hoard/reserve the words in the Bible? By spending time reading the Words of God asking God out loud what do they mean. Proverbs 2:2 KJV 2 So that thou incline (to prick the ears, hearken, attend) thine ear unto wisdom, and apply (stretching or spreading out) thine heart (feelings, intellect) to understanding; When we receive, confess His Words, then hide them, we are inclining or paying attention to those words and applying (stretching or spreading out) to our heart or feelings and thoughts that lean towards understanding. He continues in Proverbs 2:3-4 KJV 3 Yea, if thou criest after knowledge (understanding), and liftest up thy voice for understanding (intelligence, reason); 4 If thou seekest (strive after) her as silver, and searchest (hide self) for her as for hid treasures; The author of this proverb tells us more about how to cry out and seek after His Words. He tells us to ‘strive after her as silver’. If you found a hoard of silver, the first thing you do is don’t tell anyone. The next thing is that you start to sell it quietly. And you do this with silver, gold or any special treasure you find. You hide it from others because others will then become jealous and possibly try to kill you. His Word is like a treasure that we need to seek, find, and hide in our hearts. THEN… Proverbs 2:5 KJV 5 Then shalt thou understand (separate mentally) the fear (morally reverence) of the Lord, and find (attain) the knowledge (awareness) of God. Here, back at our opening scripture, this is where we find understanding of God. We separate ourselves from the way the world operates and operate through His Words spiritually. To do this, we do this by faith with works. Psalm 91:1 KJV He that dwelleth in the secret place (covering) of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. The way to show faith is by action. Action is when you take time to read His Words. Get to know His Words and apply His Words. And you do this in the secret place or another way to say this, this is where you put on God’s covering over yourself. Once the separation from the world takes place and you are under His covering, then you become aware of God. You obtain His knowledge over you. Yes, His knowledge. You start to see things differently and He keeps you from fall for the pitfalls laid as a trap for you. Proverbs 28:10 KJV 10 Whoso causeth the righteous to go astray in an evil way, he shall fall himself into his own pit: but the upright shall have good things in possession. In essence, His Word is: Psalm 119:105 KJV 105 Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path. As you continue in Proverbs 2:9-12 KJV: 9 Then shalt thou understand righteousness, and judgment, and equity; yea, every good path. 10 When wisdom entereth into thine heart, and knowledge is pleasant unto thy soul; 11 Discretion shall preserve thee, understanding shall keep thee: 12 To deliver thee from the way of the evil man, from the man that speaketh froward things; You become delivered from the way of the evil man. The way the world operates, which is done through manipulation and sin you avoid because His Words are your treasure. Seek His Word as the priority of your life because then you become aware of God in your life and you will know He is Lord. Home Watch the Video Teaching

  • LACKING | House of Faith Ministries (HoFM)

    LACKING Written Teaching Pastor Marcos Marrero June 17, 2024 Objective Equip believers to walk in “the work of faith with power” (2 Thes 1:11) by inviting God’s light into hidden places of the heart, entering a true covenant with Him, and yielding to His cleansing so His glory can dwell within and flow outward for deliverance and awakening. Synopsis The message opens with authoritative prayer over the city—declaring Jesus’ Lordship and the end of demonic rule—and sets the theme: faith that truly works in power. From 2 Thessalonians 1:11, believers are called to be found worthy through faith that moves mountains—not by hype, but by knowing God and refusing inner doubt. Daniel 2:22 shows why mountains don’t move: divided hearts hide “deep and secret things” where doubt lives. God, who is light, reveals these dark places when invited. Jeremiah 33:3 issues the invitation: “Call to Me”—God alone can retrieve what we cannot, including early wounds, rejections, and generational injuries that still sabotage trust. Entering covenant (pictured in Abraham’s sacrifices) means letting the Word cut between spirit and soul (Heb 4:12), guarding the promise from “birds of prey,” and staying through the “dreadful darkness” until God’s fire passes through and gifts faith. Ezekiel 44:4 portrays the result: once the inner gate is opened and cleansed, the glory of the Lord fills the temple—we are that temple. Job’s journey models deliverance by stripping and restoration; his daughters’ names picture the process: the Dove (Spirit) comes, the bark is stripped, then inner strength and beauty are bestowed (Job 42). This requires the cross: laying down Adam’s old coverings so we’re clothed with Christ’s glory, which intimidates darkness and empowers ministry. Practical applications include: ask God to reveal unsearchable things; forgive ancestral/offending voices; submit to the Spirit’s surgical work; persevere through fire; and live from the intimacy Jesus offers (Rev 3:20). The warning from John 6:66—turning back when the word feels “too hard”—is answered by a call to courageous surrender. The message closes by blessing the congregation and prophesying a fountain of living water rising in the house, flowing to the city with end-time deliverance and awakening. Written and/or Transcribed Teaching from Video Thank you Jesus. Hallelujah. Amen. Father in heaven in Jesus name we take authority right now. Father God, your word declares that we overcame Satan by the blood of the lamb and by the word of our testimony. And we testify, Father God, that we have authority in the name of Jesus. And Father, and that authority that Jesus has been given to us is to trample on the snakes and the scorpions, Father God, and that nothing shall by any mean harm us. So we declare that authority to the uh city of Wington tonight, Father God, and as we proclaim the word of the Lord tonight. We declare to the principalities and powers, to every creeping thing that creepeth on this city, every demonic spirit, every foul bird of the air, we declare that Jesus Christ is Lord over the city of Wington. We declare that Jesus Christ is Lord over every uh single member of this church of this body. And father in the name of Jesus we also declare that your time has come to an end. Uh spirits of darkness that rule over this city. Your time has come to an end. We prophesy tonight in the name of Jesus that the door for the uh victorious deliverance ministry of the end time. The awakening, the trumpet calling out for the people to awake is being ready to be released, Father God. And we serve notice to all of the u uh ruling spirits of this area that your time has come to an end. for the Lord will drive you up by the power of his glory and majesty in Jesus name. Amen. Praise God. Open your Bible to uh 2 Thessalonians 1:11. And I want my my wife to read it from that translation that she has is better than than the NIV. And tonight's message is real simple. If you look at it, the scriptures are going to be 111 2222 3333 444556667778899. 2 Thessalonians 1:11. If my translation, the NIV doesn't do what u what it comes out. 2 Thessalonians 1:11. Yeah. Therefore, we also pray always for you that our Gods would count you worthy of this calling and fulfill all the good pleasures of his goodness and the work of faith and power. Okay? That you may be found worthy of God's calling. And what is God's calling? That you would would have the work of faith with power. Remember what Jesus says? He says, "If you speak to the mountain," he says, "Mountain, in the name of Jesus, lift yourself up and throw yourself into the sea." Every single one of us here would understand that that would be a work of faith with power. Because there wouldn't be no shovel or no tow truck or anything doing it. It would have to be God actually raising up the mountain and throwing it onto the sea. But you see, Jesus says, "If you doubt not in your heart, that which you're saying will come to pass, then that which you're saying will be done for you." In one of the Old Testament scriptures, the prayer is, "Lord, give me an undivided heart." We know the heart is talking about the spirit and the soul. We know that the spirit is willing, but the flesh, which is connected to the soul, is weak. So Paul is saying, I'm praying for those people in Wington that are going to believe the gospel that I'm preaching to the Gentiles 1970 years from now. I'm praying for you guys that God will say when he looks at you and women to there are some people that are worthy or of my calling. And how do we make oursel worthy of God calling? We have the work of faith with power. Now, obviously, we do not have the work of of faith with power right now. So, we're lacking something, and that's what we're going to talk about. So, we went from 2 Thessalonians 1:11. Now, we're going to go to Daniel 2:22. Daniel 2:22. And Rod, if you want to go ahead and read that one. The Lord's going to have us all participate tonight, I guess. Daniel 2:22. Daniel is towards the uh the end of Jeremiah. Just just go to the big prophecies, the first small after Jeremiah, Isaiah, Jeremiah, and then Daniel. Lamentations and then Daniel. Ezekiel. I mean, after Ezekiel, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, and then there. Don't they love when you put somebody on the spot like that? After Ezekiel, find Ezekiel. Jeremiah, I'm sorry. Yeah. Daniel 2:22. Okay. God reveals the deep and the secret things because he's light and the light is able to illuminate what's in the darkness. Now, if I say to the mountain, let's let's let's bring it down home. Let's say the mountain is not Paul's birdies or idol wild or or baker. Let's say the mountain is a difficulty that you have in your life. Let's say that the mountain is a problem that you have with relationships. Let's say that the mountain is your marriage, your spouse. Let's say that the mountain is your job. Let's say that the mountain is your Christian walk. You do have a desire to do what the word of God says, but you can't do it no matter how hard you try. So let's say that because of division within your heart, you have an undivided heart. Because of division within your heart, you can tell to the mountain in the name of Jesus, but it doesn't come to pass because there's doubt. You see, that's what darkness is. Darkness is doubt. You see, people believe that faith is somehow uh something that you conjure up or or something that you, you know, bring it up for some reason. That that is our our what we believe that faith is. But there's nothing mystic about faith. Faith is knowing something. You see, I know that when I put my keys in the car and I turn the keys, I know that it's going to start. You know how many parts are involved in actually getting the car to start? There's a whole bunch of parts. You have electrical, you have all kinds of things, but yet I don't worry about none of those things. I know that if I put the key on it, that that darn thing is going to start when I turn the key. So you see faith is knowing something and you're so sure. People people say let's use a biblical example this will be better. People think that Abraham somehow was such a superhuman that was able to believe. But the Bible says that God told Abraham, I want you to take your son and I want you to take him to a certain place. I'm going to take you and I want you to sacrifice him there for me. And when he brought him and he tied him up and he was about to sacrifice his son says that the angel of the Lord says Abraham Abraham and stopped him. And it says that at that time Abraham looked beyond the mountain where he was and he saw a ram that was God and the thickets. If you study that Abraham might have been drawn to the attention of a real ram because the ram was sacrificed in the place of Isaac. But he looked beyond the ram. If you if you read, it says he had a vision. And in that vision, he saw Jesus because that mountain where he was is the same mountain where the temple was later built. And it's the same mountain where later Jesus was crucified. So Abraham actually saw Jesus being crucified. You say, "Well, how do you know that?" Well, Jesus said to them, Abraham saw my day and rejoice on it. How did Abraham saw Jesus's day? He had a vision. He visualized in what he was doing with his son. He said, "God, you're not a god of human sacrifice. Those are those idols over there that require that. I don't understand. That's what faith is. I don't understand, but I'm going to follow what you say." And when he was willing to go all the way with God regardless of what it was, then a vision was given to him and he saw Jesus the lamb of God caught in the thicket in the cross. That was the faith that Abraham had. You said Moses, how do you know Moses had so much faith on everything he wrote? Hey, Moses stepped into the mountain with God and come out on the other side and he was in the mount of transfiguration with Jesus. Did you know that Moses was with Jesus on the mount of transfiguration? He said that the Jesus was so radiant in the mount of transfiguration that that he shone brighter than the noonday sun. And yet we see Moses 1500 years earlier come down the mountain with his face shining from being in the in the place of Jesus. So you see faith is not something that you huff and puff for. Faith is being taken by the spirit of God to the place of your victory. You see, faith is taking God taking you ahead of time. You may be going through the most difficult time right now. You may be tormented. You may be in darkness. But Daniel 2:22 says that God reveals. Let's read it again. It says uh he reveals deep and hidden things. He knows what lies in darkness and light dwells with him. You see, there are deep and hidden things in the darkness areas of our soul that keep us from speaking the word and having it come to pass because it have to do with doubt. Doubt comes in. But the Bible says if we understand that God 2 Thessalonians 1:11 that God wants to find me worthy of his calling and in order for me to be found worthy of God's calling, I need to have the work of faith with power. Paul's praying for us. Paul was praying for us. He says, "I'm praying that the work of faith with power will be in you." Well, I cannot have faith with power when there are things hidden within me that are in the darkness. That's what he's saying. You see, Moses had to be brought. Remember when when the cloud came to the mountains that appear, the people were so frightening and so trembling, the people said to Moses, "We cannot bear it. You go talk to God, Moses. will hide back over here away from the mountain. You come back and tell us what God's saying to you. So Moses had to step into the darkness. There was a dark, dreadful darkness that he had to step through before he was able to come into the top of the mountain. And who was in the top of the mountain? Jesus. 1500 years later, Jesus takes James, John, and and and the other disciple. He takes him up. I mean there Peter, James, and Joan. And he takes them up in there. And then all of a sudden, Elisha and uh Moses were there. And what does that tell you? That there's a place in God that transcend time and space. That is the place where faith dwells. You see in time and space right now, I may be sick. I may be under oppression. I may be bound. I may be having all of these problems in this present time and space. But in God, there is a place of time and space where I can go into. And everything that pertains to my life and my godlin is just already there. Jesus is there and Paul is there, I'm pretty sure, because he's the one that's praying for us in this in this thing. He's praying for it. They're there. And all I have to do, I have to allow the darkness that is within me to be dispelled by the light. He says he is light. When you invite God into the area of darkness, darkness please. Did you know that you can take go to the darkest darkest deepest cave take a little box with you while in this dark place you can't see nothing. open the uh the box and allow the darkness to get in there. Then seal the box completely and then bring it out. Then open it and the darkness is gone. But now you can go to the to the to the smallest place. You take a little light, a little candle. Okay? Take a little candle, put in a little box, hide it the tiniest, littlest light, and you can go to the darkest place on the deep of the earth and you open that little light and it will illuminate the whole thing. See, darkness could not comprehend or overcome the light. And we have to realize that there are darkness, areas of darkness in our soul that divide us, that separate us from faith that works. And so we see the problem. We see the problem and we cannot have faith to come into the solution. And God says, "But I want you to have faith that works. I want you to have power when you pray. I want to found you worthy. And without faith, it is impossible to please me, says God. So I need you to come into a place to where you allow me into the dark recesses of your soul. Did you know that Abraham uh was with God? God takes him out and said, "Look, Abraham, see that many stars? If you could count them, you can't, right?" Well, that's how many. See, Abraham didn't have children at that time. And God says, "That's how many descendants you're going to have." The Bible says that Abraham believed, and so God says, "You're righteous because you believe. And if you believe, you're saved. you're delivered. You're righteous. But then Abraham comes back in and says, "Okay, God, now how am I going to know that what you just promised me, what you just revealed to me, that I'm really going to get it?" You see, that's what faith does. Faith, God says, "I am the Lord that heals you and I'm sick. I need to say, "Oh, I'm healed." No, no, I don't say that because it's a lie. I'm not. I'm sick. I'm tormented. Whatever it is, what we say is, "Okay, Lord, you said that I am healed. Now I need to take the light of your word and I need to bring it to my time and space. How do I do that? How can I come into that? What does uh God said to Abraham? Take a three-year-old ram, a goat, and a lamb or or a a bull. Cut them in half. Take two birds. One one of the birds uh is a John fishing and the other one is a a dove. do that means term and deer. This is how God signs a covenant. And the young fleshing uh fleshling means that uh just just a little mustard seed of faith that we have. Those were not cut. Those were put on the end. But the the ram, the goat, uh uh the bull were cut in half and spread in between. And then he says that after Abraham did, you know what that symbolizes? spirit, soul and body being cut in half. You see the word meismos, the word uh Hebrews 4:12, the word of God is lifegiving energy, and it is able to divide a sunder between spirit and soul, between joints and marrows, and between your heart and the your thoughts and the attitudes of your heart. They had to be Abraham had to say, "God, I'm going to open myself up. I know that I've been hurt so many times in the past. I know that I've been disappointed so many times in the past. I know that I have so many promises that didn't come for me in the past. But God, I am willing to open myself up to your promise. I am willing to allow your light, Lord, to come into that area of darkness that is deep within me." You know what it says? that as soon as Abraham did that, the birds of prey came, the crawls and the buzzers came in to go and Abraham had to fight him away. You see, whenever you make a try to make a covenant with God, okay, God, you promise me, I believe, so you say I'm righteous, but I need to know how can I receive deliverance? How can I be set free, Lord? And God says, okay, open up your soul. As soon as you open up your soul, Satan is going to come in and he's going to try to get in there. He's going to try to steal. Jesus says, "My word is like the seed that falls by the road and by the different places and the enemy comes in and pecks at it, takes it away." So, you need to guard that word. Satan is going to say, "You're getting worse. You're getting worse. You're not a That's when you take that word and and you fight those buzzers off." And then all of a sudden a deep and dreadful darkness came. I think that's on Genesis 12 or 17. I think it's probably 12. But anyway, as you read on it, a deep and dreadful darkness comes over Abraham. And then in the midst of the deepest darkness to where he couldn't see anything, a fire pot appears out of the heaven and comes in and it goes right into the pieces. And you know what he was doing? It was consuming, putting everything back together. That's what the word meismos is. When it says the word of God is lifegiving energy that is able to divide, the same word appears on Hebrews 2:4 where it says and God by sign. So the Holy Spirit gave gift. The word metismos mean been cut apart so that God can gift you. Faith is a gift. Faith is a fruit of the spirit and faith is a gift. The faith that move mountain is a gift from God. And that gift can only be imparted into your heart when you're willing to allow the darkness of our heart. We're willing to allow to be cut open as if it were. God, I'm going to trust you with my heart. I know that every time I trusted in the past, I was hurt. I know that every time I open myself up, I was wounded. I know that every time that I done that, Lord, I've been kicked. But I'm going to trust you now because I I want to be found worthy. I want to have faith in my life. I want to have faith with power that works in me. So Lord, I am going to trust you. I'm going to enter into a covenant with you. I'm going to cut myself. I'm going to let your word cut me open. I'm going to let your word undress me. I'm going to let your word really expose everything that is within me. Lord, I'm going to open up myself to you because I want that light that Daniel 2:22 says. It says there that and light dwells with him. He knows what lies in darkness and light dwells with him. Okay. Our next scripture is 333. Maybe Fred, you can read this one. It's on uh uh let's see uh Jeremiah uh 33. Jeremiah 33:3. It's two books to the left of where we were. Yep. Praise God. Call me. Now you hear that. God says, "Call upon me." Now what we're were saying in Daniel 2:22, God knows what lies in the darkness. He knows what lies on the secret place. So now God is saying, "Call to me and I will answer you." And look what in my translation it says, "And I will tell you great and uncarchable things you do not know." That sounds like deliverance to me. That sounds like deliverance to me. I'm going to I call unto me. You know, in in the Bible, it tells us in the Old Testament and the New Testament, they that call upon the Lord shall be saved. And of course, the word saved means deliver, heal, restore. They that call upon the Lord shall be fixed. They that call upon the Lord shall be made new be will be made renewed. So what does Jeremiah say? Call upon me and I'm going to show you things about you that you have no idea. See, God is able to go into that place of darkness. God, did you know that God can go all the way to the womb? Did you know that when you were conceived, I think it's six weeks? Six weeks, we're already pumping our own blood and we're able to receive sense of things. Did you know that the first thing that you sense when you're in the womb, that's our world. The the womb is our world where we're conceived and we're actually developed. that when we come out, we come out with everything that we need put together. But the very first thing that we feel in the womb is whether we were rejected or accepted. The very first thing that we feel in the womb is whether there's love or whether there's rejection. The first thing that we feel in the womb is whether there are curses upon us because that's where the demons ride. If you were conceived out of wordlock, if you were conceived by lust, if you were conceived unwanted, you know, all of those things can go all the way to there. And did you know that it's amazing, especially now that I'm 59 years old, my recollections of when I was a kid get less and less and less. You know, when I was younger, I could remember a lot of my youth. I remember things, but it seems like it's like a computer just gets to the end and then you have to bump delete some things out so that you can still put new stuff on. And usually the stuff that you get rid of is stuff from when you went back there. But you know, those things that go way to the back affect my personality today. You see, if I've experienced disappointment in the past when God says to me, speak and you will have what you ask for. Ask me and whatever you ask for, I will give it to you. If I had disappointment in in my heart and it's hidden in the dark part of my heart when I speak, there's a part of me that say, no, it's not going to happen because you ask your dad when you were two years old, dad, can you pick me up? And that was too busy with something else. Says, "Not now, son." And he just puts you to the side. Dad put a a a cut, a little cut up in there to where dad is not always going to pick you up. And you see, and when you said, "Mom, can I have this?" And mom was too busy and ignored you and rejected you in some kind of way. You see, all of those things build up in there. And then when daddy God, you come to him and and you say, "I have a need." And and you're moved by the word. You hear Fred preaching and and you find one of the promises and you say, "Daddy God, I need this." Immediately, there's a part of you way in there that is in darkness that you don't know, that you don't remember that's going to say, "Oh, you're going to be rejected. Don't you remember when your dad said no? When your mom said no? When your teacher said you were stupid? Did you know that all those words stupid, moronum, uh uh all of the things that had to do with with what you were talking about uh arrested development, all of those words arrest or hinder your being developed. So that by the time we grow up, we may be mature on the outside, but our maturity, our spiritual maturity has been hindered so much that we're just like kids. We have no understanding. But yet God says, "Call me. Call on me and I will show you things that you cannot retrieve by your own natural power." You see, God is in the business of computers. I believe God is is great at computers. Our mind, you know, computers are our pattern after our minds. You know, they have retrieval system. If you want to be good at remembering things, you have to associate them with something. You associate things with different things. So you associate uh uh things just like a computer and you're able to click. Well, guess what? God has your secret code to your computer. And God is able to bring things up that you need to settle in your heart. And that can only happen when you're well willing to go into a covenant with God. See, a covenant with God is different than just believing God. It's different than serving God. Uh it it's just like having a boyfriend or a g girlfriend. It's different than being married to them. Okay? You can do everything that married people do, but you can walk out anytime. In marriage, you can't do that. Marriage is a covenant that is witness by witnesses and that is sention by God. You see, and so you need to understand in the spiritual realm that God is not going to go to bed with us as if it were going to the intimacy of the bedroom of our heart unless we mean business with him. And unfortunately, there's too much of that child of Christianity today. We want to date God and we want to do all the things, but we're not willing to go all the way with him. And to go all the way with God, you have to allow him to cut you deep inside. You have to say, "God, okay." And you know, one of my prayers is, "Oh Lord, I always asking for the fire of God." But I said, "Lord, please give me the strength to endure the fire because the fire is not fun, man. Fire is hard." But you know, it's amazing how God, see, God has different priorities that we have. He said, "My thoughts are not your thoughts and my ways are not your way." We might think that the worst thing in us is our tattoo or our earrings or our hairdo or stuff like that. God might say, "You know what? I want to start with this little thing that happened to you when you were three years old." And he'll bring that to my my wife had a dream just the other day just so real to her. Uh she has a a brother I'm an uncle, Uncle Bob. And then uh he's older than your mom, right? in this dream that she had her uncle Bob just had what his 70th or 50th wedding anniversary something a big 60th 60th wedding a big family reunion so he's getting close to go home uh to go with the Lord well the Lord showed her in a dream I mean she's never heard this or anything this just revelation from God that he said some words to her mom because her mom was a lot younger when her mom was either a teenager yeah when she was very young she was real young when she was teenager that's what I And she called her what? I don't know what he said, but there were words that hurt her real deeply. Hurt it real deep. Now, her mom is already dead and going with the Lord. But you see, those words had an effect not only on her mom, but it passed out to all of her generation forces and stuff like that. And then the cleansing that the Lord is doing, he says, "You need to deal with this thing that was never dealt with in your family." Can you imagine that? Forgive. Yeah. To forgive him. She has to speak the words to forgive her uncle Bob for what her uncle Bob did to her mother. Now see, we have no idea what all of that entails. But God says, "You girls are being affected by what Uncle Bob said to your mom 60, 40, 50 years ago, whatever it was." And yet God was able to say to my wife through a dream. He said, "You need to He took her there. God actually took her there and said, "You don't need to know the words. You don't need what's going on. You just know that what he did offended your mom and your mom probably never got over that. And that was a notch in her heart that was passed down to you guys. You didn't even know it's affecting you. But I'm working deliverance on you. So here, forgive Uncle Bob. Once Uncle Bob is forgiven, whatever demons was attached to that are gone. Not only that, Uncle Bob is released. He can go down to the grave whenever his time comes to go. He's he's released from that. See, that's how God works. God works like that. But God has to be asked. If we read again in in in Jeremiah 33:33, he says, "Call to me. Call to me. Call to me and I will answer you and I will tell you great and uncarchable things that you do not know." Unsearchable things. Unsearchable things to us. We cannot retrieve it. How can she retrieve something that she wasn't even there when this happened 50, 60 years ago? She wasn't even born yet. How can you? Well, God does. He knows your garbage. God knows your garbage. God reads your mail. God knows everything that's there. But God says, "Okay, call unto me." So, here we have 2 Thessalonians 1:11. God says, "I want you to have faith that works. I want I I I want you to be found worthy of my calling. I have a call upon your life." Remember, many are called, but few are chosen. Who are the ones that are chosen? The ones that have faith that works. It's that simple. Without faith, it's impossible to please God. So, your call, God wants you to be worthy of that calling. And in order for you to be worthy of that calling, you got to have faith that works. And in order for have to have faith that works, we need a heart that is not divided. We need an undivided heart. And in order to get an univarted undivided heart, you got to go to Daniel 2:22 and allow the God of light to come in into the place of darkness and to reveal those deep and secret things that are in there. And God is not going to come in there unless you call him to come in because Revelation 3:20 says, "Behold, I stand at the door and knock. And if anybody answers the door, opens the door, I will come in and I'm going to have fellowship. I'm going to sit and have dinner with you." See, back in those days, the more intimate thing that you could do with people was sitting at the table and having dinner with them. That's where the new covenant was made. That's where that's where the old covenant was made. People were supposed to gather and kill the lamb, put the blood. That's what the covenant was. So God is saying, "I want to be intimate with you. But you got to call me in. You have to invite me. And you have to be willing to allow me to cut you because you see faith is not going to work for you. You're not going to have no power in your faith unless I shine my light in your heart." Hebrews uh 20:27, the spirit of the man is the candle of the Lord searching all all the inward parts of the belly or the heart. This is where the different compartment that are in there. Listen, my friend, when you tell God, Lord, I want to expose whatever is in me that is not right, it's not going to be pretty. Okay? If you ever go into a closet that hasn't been open for a long time, going to be a lot of garbage there. Had a dream not that long ago going through this deliverance process that I've been going. It was um after I preach here two weeks ago about Leviathan and I was going through a bucket. I was cleaning and it was in my house back in Cuba, my my patio. And in this bucket there was all kinds of different cans of paint that were all and I was taking them and throwing them away. And then there was one that was still full that could be used and I saved that. And when I got to the bottom there was a can that had split open somehow and there was paint all over thick paint all the bottom. In other words, it was a mess and it was a mess to get into that. And then all of a sudden as I got into that I looked at the floor and right there was mud. the bottom of the thing became mud and all of a sudden in that mud there was the form of some kind of an animal. I said, "Man," because I was standing there and so I picked up a root that was in there and I poked the thing and it was this big giant alligator and I had been sitting there this whole time next to this alligator. You see, I was digging deep into my my pelite back into where Cuba was. That's what that symbolized. And you know what the thing I had in my hand? It was a root. It was a root partially like a bamboo root type of thing. And it had three stems on it. One was longer. That's what I poked the thing with. I got up and I read 11 uh Isaiah 11:1 where it says the root of Jesse, the root of Jesse, which is Jesus. The branch. He says the branch. The root of Jesse. That's what I poked this alligator with. This is a Leviathan that was hidden inside of me. This is part of my past that was in the mud that was there. And then I run to the house to get my wife and say, "Honey, you can't believe it. The place where we've been sitting, I'm ministering all this time. There's this big thing that was buried there. And by the time I get back with that root in my hand to get the thing, it was nothing but clear water. All the mud had clear out. And there was this alligator. You know, alligator is is another uh translation for Leviathan. Is the Lord showing me that if you go into a covenant, you begin to dig deep into the things that are there, the fountain. Zechariah says, "In that day, I will open up a fountain for for the cleansing from sin." That's what Jesus has done for us. He He is our fountain. In Isaiah said, "All of my fountains are in you, Lord." And he has given us the weapon. The weapon is the root of Jesse. And in that one, it talks about the the manifold wisdom of God, the seven spirit, the wisdom, the knowledge, the power. So you see, there's a step that I'm trying to put here. If we need it, we need the work of faith with power so that we can be found worthy, then we need to allow the God of light to come into our soul and reveal those deep hidden things. And it's not going to happen unless we ask God to give us those things that are unsearchable to us, but that God is able to expose. Now, let's go to 444. I don't know this. I I wrote this a week ago and I haven't done anything, but the Lord says chair and and don't even prepare. Just look him up. Ezekiel 44:4. Who wants to read that? Rich, can you do it over there? Ezekiel 44:4. This is so neat. The Lord gave me this revelation when I was laying down and I just went and look for scriptures and look for the numbers. 3:44. Do you get it? Do you get it? We are the temple. We're the temple of God. Where's the temple of the Holy Spirit? And what does 4:44 says? God brought me in through a gate. He brought me in through a door. And when I got there, the glory of the Lord came into the temple. You You got to see this. The glory of the Lord came after the light was brought into the darkness. After we ask the Lord to bring revelation, after we ask the Lord to expose what was in darkness, after we asked the Lord, Lord, I want you to cut me. I want to enter a co I want to enter into a covenant with you. I want you, Lord, to expose what to expose whatever is in me that will hinder the work of faith with power. I don't want to have a divided heart, Lord. I want your God to your word to cut me, to do the mismo, to expose, to heal, to strip me so that I can then have your glory. See, the Holy Spirit is not going to come when there's filth in there. You know, you you I I did a house for a doctor once. He was German, but he made his money in Venezuela. He developed a drug company or whatever and this guy made tons and tons of money and his wife this was many many years ago. She smoked like a like a shim. I mean continuous. She had this long long cigarette. She I don't know if they were called Virginia Slims or whatever. The cigarettes were like tw Home Watch the Video Teaching

  • WHEN DOES THE DAY OF THE LORD TAKES PLACE? | House of Faith Ministries (HoFM)

    WHEN DOES THE DAY OF THE LORD TAKES PLACE? Here is the second teaching on the series called Investigating End Time Prophecy. I'm asking the investigative questions of what, when, who, where, and why to the specific end time events prophesied in scripture allowing scripture to confirm scripture. This second teaching's objective is to examine the Scriptures that reveal when the Day of the Lord begins by comparing the writings of the prophets, Jesus Christ, the apostles, and the book of Revelation. This study demonstrates how the repeated signs of the darkened sun, blood moon, shaken heavens, great earthquake, and mankind's response consistently point to the opening of the sixth seal as the biblical beginning of the Day of the Lord. By allowing Scripture to confirm Scripture, believers are encouraged to watch for the signs God has already revealed rather than speculate about specific dates. WHEN DOES THE DAY OF THE LORD TAKES PLACE? Minister Lisa Kane July 13, 2026 Objective: Here is the second teaching on the series called Investigating End Time Prophecy. I'm asking the investigative questions of what, when, who, where, and why to the specific end time events prophesied in scripture allowing scripture to confirm scripture. This second teaching's objective is to examine the Scriptures that reveal when the Day of the Lord begins by comparing the writings of the prophets, Jesus Christ, the apostles, and the book of Revelation. This study demonstrates how the repeated signs of the darkened sun, blood moon, shaken heavens, great earthquake, and mankind's response consistently point to the opening of the sixth seal as the biblical beginning of the Day of the Lord. By allowing Scripture to confirm Scripture, believers are encouraged to watch for the signs God has already revealed rather than speculate about specific dates. Synopsis: When does the Day of the Lord take place? Is it an unknown event with no identifiable beginning, or has God provided clear biblical markers for His people to recognize? In this study, we compare the testimony of Joel, Isaiah, Jesus, Paul, Peter, and the apostle John to discover a remarkable consistency throughout Scripture. Each describes extraordinary heavenly signs—the sun darkened, the moon appearing as blood, the heavens shaken, the earth trembling, and humanity overwhelmed by the realization that God's wrath has arrived. Revelation 6 records these same signs at the opening of the sixth seal, where the inhabitants of the earth themselves declare, "For the great day of His wrath has come." Rather than searching for dates, this investigation examines the signs God has already revealed, showing how Scripture confirms Scripture. As the prophetic pieces are placed together, the sixth seal consistently aligns with the biblical descriptions marking the beginning of the Day of the Lord, reminding believers to remain watchful, discerning, and prepared for the fulfillment of God's prophetic Word. Inspired Teaching: Revelation 6:12-17 NKJV 12 I looked when He opened the sixth seal, and [g]behold, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the [h]moon became like blood. 13 And the stars of heaven fell to the earth, as a fig tree drops its late figs when it is shaken by a mighty wind. 14 Then the sky [i]receded as a scroll when it is rolled up, and every mountain and island was moved out of its place. 15 And the kings of the earth, the great men, [j]the rich men, the commanders, the mighty men, every slave and every free man, hid themselves in the caves and in the rocks of the mountains, 16 and said to the mountains and rocks, “Fall on us and hide us from the face of Him who sits on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb! 17 For the great day of His wrath has come, and who is able to stand?” Notice that the cosmic signs described in verses 12–14 occur when the sixth seal is opened. Then, after witnessing these events, the inhabitants of the earth cry out, "For the great day of His wrath has come" (v.17). Their own testimony identifies this moment as the beginning of the Day of the Lord. Has this day happened yet? As of this writing, no, but we know from scripture when this day will happen. No, we don’t have a specific date, but we have clues that occur just before this day that we as believers need to watch and pray about. Here are scriptures that tells us the signs we will see when this day takes place. Joel 2:30-31 NKJV 30 “And I will show wonders in the heavens and in the earth: Blood and fire and pillars of smoke. 31 The sun shall be turned into darkness, And the moon into blood, Before the coming of the great and awesome day of the Lord. Joel describes the same heavenly signs that John records in Revelation—the sun darkened and the moon turned to blood. Joel adds an important detail: these signs occur before the coming of the Day of the Lord. When these same signs appear in Revelation 6, the inhabitants of the earth immediately recognize that God's day of wrath has arrived. Scripture is confirming Scripture. Matthew 24:29-31 NKJV 29 “Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken. 30 Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. 31 And He will send His angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they will gather together His [d]elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other. Jesus describes the same sequence of heavenly signs—the sun darkened, the moon affected, the stars falling, and the heavens shaken. These parallels strongly connect His teaching with the events surrounding the sixth seal. Later, in Revelation 7, John records the sealing of the 144,000 followed by the appearance of a great multitude in heaven before God's throne. Taken together, these passages present a consistent prophetic picture. He’s telling everyone (this is the audience He’s speaking to: Israel, The Church, and the unbelievers), look at these signs. Scripture confirming scripture. Isaiah 13:6-10 NKJV 6 Wail, for the day of the Lord is at hand! It will come as destruction from the Almighty. 7 Therefore all hands will be limp, Every man’s heart will melt, 8 And they will be afraid. Pangs[d] and sorrows will take hold of them; They will be in pain as a woman in childbirth; They will be amazed at one another; Their faces will be like flames. 9 Behold, the day of the Lord comes, Cruel, with both wrath and fierce anger, To lay the land desolate; And He will destroy its sinners from it. 10 For the stars of heaven and their constellations Will not give their light; The sun will be darkened in its going forth, And the moon will not cause its light to shine. Isaiah adds another witness by connecting the Day of the Lord with God's wrath, the darkening of the sun, and the dimming of the moon. Once again, the prophets describe the same heavenly signs surrounding that day. Isaiah 2:17-22 NKJV 17 The [d]loftiness of man shall be bowed down, And the haughtiness of men shall be brought low; The Lord alone will be exalted in that day, 18 But the idols [e]He shall utterly abolish. 19 They shall go into the holes of the rocks, And into the caves of the [f]earth, From the terror of the Lord And the glory of His majesty, When He arises to shake the earth mightily. 20 In that day a man will cast away his idols of silver And his idols of gold, Which they made, each for himself to worship, To the moles and bats, 21 To go into the clefts of the rocks, And into the crags of the rugged rocks, From the terror of the Lord And the glory of His majesty, When He arises to shake the earth mightily. 22 Sever[g] yourselves from such a man, Whose breath is in his nostrils; For [h]of what account is he? Isaiah even records mankind fleeing into the caves and rocks because of the terror of the Lord when He shakes the earth. John's description in Revelation 6 is remarkably similar, suggesting that both prophets are describing the same event from different points in history. 1 Thessalonians 5:2-4 NKJV 2 For you yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so comes as a thief in the night. 3 For when they say, “Peace and safety!” then sudden destruction comes upon them, as labor pains upon a pregnant woman. And they shall not escape. 4 But you, brethren, are not in darkness, so that this Day should overtake you as a thief. 2 Peter 3:10 NKJV 10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night, in which the heavens will pass away with a great noise, and the elements will melt with fervent heat; both the earth and the works that are in it will be [d]burned up. Peter and Paul (through 1 Thessalonians) reminds believers that although the Day of the Lord will come unexpectedly upon the unbelieving world, it should not surprise those who are watching the signs God has already revealed through the prophets. Summary of When the Day of the Lord takes place? The prophets consistently teach that immediately before the Day of the Lord the sun is darkened, the moon appears as blood, the heavens are shaken, and mankind witnesses extraordinary signs in heaven and on earth. Revelation records these same signs when the sixth seal is opened. It is at that moment that the inhabitants of the earth declare, 'For the great day of His wrath has come' (Revelation 6:17). By comparing Scripture with Scripture, the sixth seal consistently aligns as the biblical point at which the Day of the Lord begins. Previous Next Home

  • WHO IS IMPACTED BY THE DAY OF THE LORD? | House of Faith Ministries (HoFM)

    WHO IS IMPACTED BY THE DAY OF THE LORD? Here is the third teaching on the series called Investigating End Time Prophecy. I'm asking the investigative questions of what, when, who, where, and why to the specific end time events prophesied in scripture allowing scripture to confirm scripture. This third teaching's objective is to identify the three distinct groups affected by the Day of the Lord—Israel, the Church, and unbelievers—and examine, through Scripture alone, how each group is uniquely impacted when the sixth seal is opened. By following the biblical evidence, readers will better understand God's different purposes for each group during this pivotal moment in prophecy and see how these events fit within the larger timeline of the seven-year period described in Scripture. WHO IS IMPACTED BY THE DAY OF THE LORD? Minister Lisa Kane July 28, 2026 Objective: Here is the third teaching on the series called Investigating End Time Prophecy. I'm asking the investigative questions of what, when, who, where, and why to the specific end time events prophesied in scripture allowing scripture to confirm scripture. This third teaching's objective is to identify the three distinct groups affected by the Day of the Lord—Israel, the Church, and unbelievers—and examine, through Scripture alone, how each group is uniquely impacted when the sixth seal is opened. By following the biblical evidence, readers will better understand God's different purposes for each group during this pivotal moment in prophecy and see how these events fit within the larger timeline of the seven-year period described in Scripture. Synopsis: Who is the Day of the Lord really about? Is it directed toward the Church, Israel, the unbelieving world—or all three? In this study, we follow the biblical evidence to discover that Scripture consistently identifies three groups who are affected by the Day of the Lord, each in a different way. Beginning with Daniel's prophecy of the seventy weeks, we examine how the final seven years complete God's prophetic timetable for Israel. We then explore Revelation's account of the 144,000 sealed servants and consider their role during God's outpouring of wrath. Next, we turn to the Church, comparing Jesus' teaching in Matthew 24 with Paul's writings and John's vision in Revelation 7. As these passages are placed side by side, readers are invited to examine the relationship between the gathering of Christ's elect and the great multitude standing before the throne. Finally, we consider the unbelieving world. Scripture repeatedly describes the Day of the Lord as arriving like a thief in the night—not for believers who are watching, but for those who are unprepared. By comparing passages from Thessalonians, Peter, Matthew, and Revelation, we investigate why this day brings sudden shock to unbelievers and how they experience the judgments that follow. Rather than beginning with assumptions, this lesson allows Scripture to define who is present, who is protected, who is gathered, and who remains during the Day of the Lord, inviting readers to carefully examine the biblical evidence and draw their own conclusions. Inspired Teaching: Who is impacted by the Day of the Lord? There are three groups of people impacted by the Day of the Lord. They are Israel, The Church, and the Unbelievers. Let’s begin with Israel. Israel has been ‘behind the scenes’ since they rejected Jesus Christ as their messiah, and they move to the forefront when the sixth seal is opened. Daniel 9:24a NKJV 24 “Seventy [e]weeks are determined For your people and for your holy city, When Daniel does the math in Daniel chapter 9, you will find there are 490 years determined for ‘your people’ and ‘your holy city’. Daniel is an Israelite…this means 490 years are for Israel and Jerusalem. You will also find that there are seven years left of the prophecy that hasn’t been fulfilled yet as of this writing. When the Day of the Lord begins, this begins day 1 of the seven-year time period of God’s wrath, the last of the 490-year prophecy. Revelation 7:3-4 NKJV 3 saying, “Do not harm the earth, the sea, or the trees till we have sealed the servants of our God on their foreheads.” 4 And I heard the number of those who were sealed. One hundred and forty-four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel were sealed: Revelation 14:4 NKJV 4 These are the ones who were not defiled with women, for they are virgins. These are the ones who follow the Lamb wherever He goes. These were [c]redeemed from among men, being firstfruits to God and to the Lamb. When the sixth seal is opened, chapter 7, still on the sixth seal shows us that the 144,000 male virgin Jews are sealed. Summary: Israel Israel represents God during the seven-year time-period of God pouring out His wrath. The church is another group that is impacted by the Day of the Lord. Ephesians 1:7-10 NKJV 7 In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace 8 which He made to abound toward us in all wisdom and [b]prudence, 9 having made known to us the mystery of His will, according to His good pleasure which He purposed in Himself, 10 that in the dispensation of the fullness of the times He might gather together in one all things in Christ, [c]both which are in heaven and which are on earth—in Him. Matthew 24:29-31 NKJV 29 “Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken. 30 Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. 31 And He will send His angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they will gather together His [d]elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other. Revelation 7:9 NKJV 9 After these things I looked, and behold, a great multitude which no one could number, of all nations, tribes, peoples, and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, with palm branches in their hands, Revelation 7:13-14 NKJV 13 Then one of the elders answered, saying to me, “Who are these arrayed in white robes, and where did they come from?” 14 And I said to him, [b]“Sir, you know.” So he said to me, “These are the ones who come out of the great tribulation, and washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. Here’s the church when the sixth seal is opened. To be a part of the church, you need to be a believer in Jesus Christ. When the sixth seal is loosed, the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky gathering His elect. And at the end of the sixth seal, you will see these in heaven as the elder describes. Summary: The Church The church is removed from the earth when the sixth seal is opened and before heaven just before the seventh seal is opened. Another group of people affected by the Day of the Lord opened or loosed during the sixth seal are the unbelievers. 1 Thessalonians 5:2-4 NKJV 2 For you yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so comes as a thief in the night. 3 For when they say, “Peace and safety!” then sudden destruction comes upon them, as labor pains upon a pregnant woman. And they shall not escape. 4 But you, brethren, are not in darkness, so that this Day should overtake you as a thief. 2 Peter 3:10 NKJV 10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night, in which the heavens will pass away with a great noise, and the elements will melt with fervent heat; both the earth and the works that are in it will be [d]burned up. Matthew 24:36-44 NKJV 36 “But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of [f]heaven, but My Father only. 37 But as the days of Noah were, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be. 38 For as in the days before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, 39 and did not know until the flood came and took them all away, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be. 40 Then two men will be in the field: one will be taken and the other left. 41 Two women will be grinding at the mill: one will be taken and the other left. 42 Watch therefore, for you do not know what [g]hour your Lord is coming. 43 But know this, that if the master of the house had known what [h]hour the thief would come, he would have watched and not allowed his house to be broken into. 44 Therefore you also be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect. Revelation 9:4 NKJV 4 They were commanded not to harm the grass of the earth, or any green thing, or any tree, but only those men who do not have the seal of God on their foreheads. To the unbelievers, the Day of the Lord will appear as a thief in the night. They will be surprised and shocked by the events on the Day of the Lord. And when you look at each of these scriptures, you will see that we’re told the unbelievers are shocked but that believers are to watch and pray because we’ll be ready. You will find that the unbelievers are those that are not covered by the Lord’s seal during the seven-year time-period of God’s wrath. These are the ones who have rejected Jesus Christ as the Son of God, just like Israel did when they crucified Him. Summary: Unbelievers We find the unbelievers as those who suffer during the seven-year time-period of God’s wrath. They are very surprised that day happened. Previous Next Home

    The Mechanic's of the Day of the Lord The objective of The Mechanics of the Day of the Lord is to equip believers with a deeper biblical understanding of end-time prophecy, particularly the events surrounding God’s final judgment and Christ’s return. Pastor Marcos Marrero seeks to clarify the prophetic cycles revealed in Scripture, connecting Daniel’s 70 weeks, the ministry of the Two Witnesses, and the timing of the rapture with God’s ultimate plan of redemption. By studying the “mechanics” of the Day of the Lord, readers are encouraged to remain vigilant in faith, proclaim the Gospel with urgency, and take comfort in God’s promise of deliverance from wrath. The book aims to strengthen the church’s hope, prepare Christians for Christ’s imminent return, and highlight God’s perfect justice and mercy revealed through Jesus Christ.

The book aims to strengthen the church’s hope, prepare Christians for Christ’s imminent return, and highlight God’s perfect justice and mercy revealed through Jesus Christ. Synopsis: The Mechanics of the Day of the Lord by Pastor Marcos Marrero is a prophetic study exploring the biblical foundations, timing, and meaning of the Day of the Lord. Marrero draws extensively from Scripture—particularly Joel, Ezekiel, Daniel, Revelation, and the Gospels—to explain how God’s final judgment and redemption will unfold. The book argues that the Day of the Lord begins with a massive invasion of Israel, orchestrated by God to reveal His power and holiness to the nations. This moment initiates a cascade of events, including the resurrection of the dead, the rapture of the church, the ministry of the Two Witnesses, the reign of the antichrist, and the pouring out of God’s wrath. Pastor Marcos emphasizes prophetic cycles of seven, connecting Daniel’s 70 weeks with both personal and generational patterns of sin and redemption. By examining biblical numbers, feasts, and prophetic visions, Pastor Marcos outlines how God’s judgment is balanced with His plan of salvation through Christ. The narrative culminates in Christ’s triumphant return, the defeat of the antichrist, and the ushering in of the millennial reign of Jesus. Ultimately, The Mechanics of the Day of the Lord serves as both a warning and an encouragement: urging believers to live in readiness, proclaim the Gospel faithfully, and take comfort in God’s promise of eternal life through Jesus Christ. Sample first pages of the Book/Manual: The Mechanics of the Day of the Lord Joel 2:1 “Blow the trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm in My holy mountain! Let all the inhabitants of the land tremble; For the day of the Lord is coming, for it is at hand.” Italics and bold added as emphasis. Words in Italics added by me for further explanation; this applies to all scriptures in this book. What is the Day of the Lord? According to Revelation 11:18 it is the Day of God’s wrath! When God will judge both the living and the dead, and God will reward the prophets and the saints. Revelation 11:18 “The nations were angry, and Your wrath has come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that You should reward Your servants the prophets and the saints, and those who fear Your name, small and great, and should destroy those who destroy the earth (with the spiritual corruption of their lying wonders and all forms of delusion).” Isaiah 34:8 “For it is the day of the Lord’s vengeance, the year of recompense (wrath) for the cause of Zion.” It is my belief that the Day of the Lord will begin as a response to the nation of Israel being invaded by a confederacy of nations whose leader originates from the north of Israel. God will not be reacting to the actions of these nations, but rather will induce these nations to act on His behalf for Him to judge them on His Holy Land at God’s appointed time. Ezekiel 38:1-6 “Now the word of the Lord came to me, saying, Son of man, set your face against Gog, of the land of Magog, the prince of Rosh, Meshech, and Tubal, and prophesy against him, and say, thus says the Lord God: Behold I am against you, O Gog the prince of Rosh, Meshech, and Tubal. I will turn you around, put hooks into your jaws, and lead you out, with all your army, horses, and horsemen, all splendidly clothed, a great company with bucklers and shields, all of them handling swords. Persia, Ethiopia, and Libya are with them, all of them with shield and helmet; Gomer and all its troops; the house of Togarmah from the far north and all its troops—many people are with you.” A comprehensive list is given of all the participants in the above verses who will be compelled to participate in this invasion of the nation of Israel. Why is God initiating this? Ezekiel 38:16 “You will come up against My people Israel like a cloud, to cover the land. It will be in the latter days that I will bring you against My land, so that the nations may know Me, when I am hallowed in you, O Gog, before their eyes.” The God of Israel is going to manifest Himself to the entire world as the All Mighty God when He annihilates in an instant all these nations that set themselves against the nation of Israel. Ezekiel 39:6-8 “And I will send fire on Magog and on those who live in security in the coastlands. Then they shall know that I am the Lord. So I will make My holy name known in the midst of My people Israel, and I will not let them profane My holy name anymore. Then the nations shall know that I am the Lord, the Holy One in Israel. Surely it is coming, and it shall be done, says the Lord God. This is the day (of God’s Wrath) of which I have spoken.” I believe that the day that the Lord reveals Himself to the entire world will also be the time when the resurrection of the dead will take place, followed immediately by the rapture of the church. Revelation 6:14-17 “Then the sky receded as a scroll when it is rolled up, and every mountain and island was moved out of its place. And the kings of the earth, the great men, the rich men, the commanders, the mighty men, every slave and every free man, hid themselves in the caves and in the rocks of the mountains, and said to the mountains and rocks, ‘Fall on us and hide us from the face of Him who sits on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb! For the great day of His wrath has come, and who is able to stand?’” As we read in Ezekiel’s prophecy: This is the day (of God’s Wrath) of which I have spoken. Let us read the context in which the sixth seal is opened. Revelation 6:12-13 “I looked when He opened the sixth seal, and behold there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became like blood. And the stars of heaven fell to the earth (the devil and his angels are thrown out of heaven to the earth) as a fig tree drops its late figs when it is shaken by a mighty wind.” Through the prophet Joel a great deal of revelation was given about the Day of the Lord and its occurrence. It was through the prophet Joel that the prophecy that pointed to the beginning and to the end of the church age was given as well. Peter read Joel’s prophecy about the birth and end of the church age out loud on the day of Pentecost. Acts 2:17-18 “And it shall come to pass in the last days, says God, that I will pour out of My Spirit on all flesh; your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your young men shall see visions, your old men shall dream dreams. And on My menservants and on My maidservants I will pour out My Spirit in those days; and they shall prophesy.” The first part of Joel’s prophecy was fulfilled on the Day of Pentecost, when the church was empowered to go unto all the nations of the world and bring to them the good news of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. So that the nations could repent before God’s Day of Wrath came upon them. The second part of Joel’s prophecy foretold how the end of the church age would come about! Acts 2:19-21 “I will show wonders in heaven above and signs in the earth beneath: blood and fire and vapor of smoke. The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the coming of the great and awesome day of the Lord. And it shall come to pass that whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.” The Scripture evidence that these signs and wonders in the heavens and in the earth will precede the immediate beginning of the Day of the Lord is overwhelming. And if we are looking for these signs and welcoming them we are assured that our removal will precede the judgment part; for the church will not be here for the Wrath of God, since God has not appointed us unto wrath. We can be better witness to those around us who do not know the mechanics of God’s Day of Judgment. It will be up to those in the church to declare that the end is near! 2 Peter 3:10-11 “But the Day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night, in which the heavens will pass away with a great noise, and the elements will melt with fervent heat; both the earth and the works that are in it will be burned up. Therefore, since all these things will be dissolved, what manner of persons ought you to be in holy conduct and godliness.” For two thousand years the faithful witnesses of the church have been proclaiming to the world the great news of God’s salvation through the blood and grace of Jesus Christ for all the lost. But as we look at the conditions of the nations of the world today, they are in full revolt against God and the morality of His commandments. And even His chosen nation, Israel, is in disarray, and there is even compromise in some, if not many of His churches. There is no fear of God in the land anymore and no respect for the commandments that He gave us. But the Day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night on all who do not love His appearing and are not eagerly expecting His soon return. We are commanded to be sober and to be vigilant, searching the Scriptures diligently for in them we find the comfort of His peace in our salvation. Mark 4:11-12 “And He said to them, To you it has been given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God; but to those who are outside, all things come in parables, so that Seeing they may see and not perceive, and hearing they may hear and not understand; lest they should turn, and their sins be forgiven them.” If you have accepted Jesus Christ as your Savior and Lord, you have the Holy Spirit within you and are qualified to understand the teaching of the manner in which He is coming to deliver all of us from the Day of His Wrath, which will be poured out upon those who have rejected the Gospel of Jesus Christ that could have saved them. Next, we are going to teach what happens to those who are left behind after the rapture of the church takes place, and the Day of God’s Wrath falls upon the nations of the world. But first let us examine the mystery related to this seven year period of what I call: the cycles of time. Daniel 9:24 “Seventy weeks (70 x 7 = 490 years) are determined for your people (Israel) and for your holy city (Jerusalem), to finish the transgression, to make an end of sins, to make reconciliation for iniquity, to bring in everlasting righteousness, to seal up vision and prophecy, and to anoint the Most Holy.” When Daniel was a young boy the city of Jerusalem and the Holy Temple in it were destroyed by the Babylonian army, and Daniel was taken captive as a slave. Upon learning from the writings of Jeremiah the prophet that after seventy years of captivity the exiles of Israel were allowed to go back to their own land. Daniel realized that the nation of Israel owed the land a cycle of seventy years of rest, for there are seventy Sabbaths years in a 490 year period, hence why God drove the Israelites out allowing the land of Israel to have its seventy years of rest they owed. Daniel concluded that a new 490-year period had started for Israel when the decree was given for the Jews to go back to their land. Daniel was very eager to know what this new era of 490-year duration would bring upon the people that he loved and the city of his dreams.
