  • WHEN YOU PUT JESUS FIRST | House of Faith Ministries (HoFM)

    WHEN YOU PUT JESUS FIRST Written Teaching Minister Lisa Kane June 8, 2025 Objective The objective of this teaching is to encourage believers to prioritize Jesus Christ above all else, recognizing that putting Him first transforms every area of life. By confessing Christ before others, living without fear of men, and walking daily in faith and obedience, Christians experience the revelation of God’s truth, the empowerment of the Holy Spirit, and the assurance of their eternal value in God’s eyes. Synopsis In this lesson, Lisa Kane explores Matthew 10, highlighting the call to boldly confess Jesus before men and the blessings that follow when believers put Him first. The teaching emphasizes that fear of people and circumstances must be replaced by fear of God, who alone holds eternal authority over body and soul. Through examples from personal life, scripture, and ministry, Lisa illustrates how God reveals hidden truths, gives direction through His Spirit, and confirms His presence in moments of obedience. Believers are reminded that confessing Christ publicly stems from the intimacy of the “secret place” with God, where prayer and devotion cultivate strength for witness. Prioritizing Jesus above family ties, personal desires, or worldly concerns may bring division, but it also secures the believer’s eternal standing before the Father. The message concludes by affirming that Jesus’ sacrifice on the cross proves our immense value to Him, and in response, we are called to love Him above all, walking daily in boldness, faithfulness, and love. Written and/or Transcribed Teaching from Video Hello and welcome to the House of Faith Ministries. I'm Lisa Kaine and I'm teaching this lesson today on Sunday, June 8th, 2025. Welcome. Let's open up in a word of prayer. Father God, we thank you for your word. Lord, I pray over the listeners to hear your word, to receive your word, that their hearts and minds, ears and eyes are prepped and ready, and that they not only receive, but apply it to their hearts and minds, to their lives, that they walk in your word in confidence, in boldness, in faithfulness. And I thank you Lord that your Holy Spirit is imparting upon the listeners here and now to have a change of life and be bold in com uh confessing you before men and not to be afraid of men. Thank you Lord. In the name of Jesus we pray. Amen. Amen. Welcome. Glad you can join me today. Uh this uh teaching is called when you put Jesus first. Let's go to our opening scripture here. uh Matthew 10:32. We'll be focusing on Matthew uh 10 quite a bit today. Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my father which is in heaven. So we're going to be talking about confessing. We are going to be talking about how when you put Jesus first and he becomes a priority in your life, what happens next? And you're going to see that here. Now, as a reminder for those who are new, when you see a w a word here that's in bold, that's the word in the King James version. And the word in parentheses afterwards is another translation of that word from um esord. That's where I get it from. And I put those extra words in there. It really helps us to see the meaning behind what the translation was from the original. In this case, we're in the New Testament. So, it's the original Greek to English. And so, we're going to be uh looking at that. So, let's talk about confessing. What happens when you put Jesus first in your life? What does that do to you? Let's start here in Matthew 10 uh verse 26. It says, "Fear them not." And that word fear is be alarmed not. So, basically, don't be alarmed. Fear them not, therefore, or do not be alarmed of them. For there is nothing covered or hidden that shall not be revealed and hid that shall not be known or concealed not be known. So we as believers have a right to know the mystery behind the scriptures and behind what God is doing. He is sharing that to those of us who get closer to God and put God first. So, one of the first things that happens, and there's no particular order of these at all. This is just a transformation of what happens to our minds and our hearts and our bodies. I hope I didn't make that sound too loud. Um, when we put Jesus first and he's saying that first of all, don't fear anyone else. And we're going to talk more about this fear in just a moment, but he says, "Do not fear them, for there's nothing covered that shall not be revealed." In other words, everything that goes on, even behind the scenes in the dark places where people think they're doing secret sin, guess what? As a believer in Christ, we know because there's a little birdie telling us. And his name is the Holy Spirit. He's showing us that it's going to be revealed, meaning the cover, the darkness is going to come out of that. It's going to be off of that. And then he's saying that um whatever is concealed that shall not be known. So let's read that again just straight through. Fear them not therefore for there is nothing covered that shall not be revealed and he that shall not be known. So we will know these things as believers in Christ. Okay, that's good. Let's continue on because we are talking about what happens when you put Jesus first. You know how uh Matthew 6 uh 333 says uh seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness and then all these things will be added unto you. Well, part of seek first the kingdom of God, that's the ministry and then seek first the uh and his righteousness. That's personal change that takes place and then all these things will be added unto you. So, this is a gift that you're seeing that the Holy Spirit will reveal the things that are going on behind the scenes. And I'm gonna tell you right now, I've had some revelations given to me that I was like, "Oh." So, you know, for those that don't believe, they're not going to understand this, but those of us who put Jesus first in our lives, we're we've got a gift that the Holy Spirit is going to talk through us. So, let's continue on. Verse 27. What I tell you in darkness or dimness, obscurity, that's speaking in light. And let me focus a little bit on this. Sometimes we don't understand why or what God asks us to do. Uh for example, I was in praise and worship this morning uh at church and wow, the anointing was so strong and I was just weeping, but there's a person that came to mind and I texted her a word from the Lord. I don't know what's going on there, but I know if I'm obedient to the Lord, he's speaking to her. And she responded in kind. So you can see that he says, "So what I tell you in darkness, uh, and sometimes dimness, obscurity, like sometimes in a dream, you might get something from the Lord and you'll be like, "What was that?" And it was interesting because I've had a couple of dreams over this past week and um maybe a week and a half. And what is just so interesting, I got a word from the Lord through scripture and a sister had given me a word from the Lord from another scripture. put those scriptures together and everything I experienced, not just the dreams, but everything I was doing in real life was spoken in those scriptures. And I was like, "Oh, that's the Lord speaking to me." Which he was telling me not to fear them. I went um yesterday, uh, excuse me, Friday to see an aunt and uncle. Uh, he had just gotten out of the hospital, been through a lot. We basically witnessed and prayed over them and anointed them with oil. And was interesting is my aunt confessed Jesus Christ as her Lord and Savior. And she just she got touched. So very excited about that. But that was the word that the Lord was giving me again through dimness and obscurity or darkness. And he says, "Speak that in light." So when we got there, I wasn't afraid. I just spoke the truth. Here, I bought you a Bible. We want to pray with you. We want to put the anointing on the Lord. And they were accepting of it. There's nothing to be ashamed about that because you'll be surprised how much people want this. In fact, I remember days of my youth many many years ago like 30ome years ago as a young woman of God and we went door to door and I kept thinking this is just oh people are not going to you know you're invading their privacy basically. But every door we went to and knocked on and we asked do you just need prayer? You want us to pray with you? They all said yes. So you'll be surprised what the Holy Spirit is doing behind the scenes when you walk out in faith like that. Amen. So he says um and what ye hear in the ear that preach ye upon the housetops. Now I hear from the Lord every day because I spend time in the word. I am constantly putting God first. He is my priority. So he start I start them off every day and I end them off every night. And when you do that, you're going to hear the word of God speak to you. And this is why I wanted to kind of teach on this because this is one of the scriptures that the Lord gave me this week in regards to visiting my aunt and uncle and walking in the gifts and walking in faith which I just been talking about walking in the gifts. So we need to seek first our God have that relationship with him and you see all these things are going to be given unto us which are these gifts that the Holy Spirit gives to us. So as you can see here he says teach it, preach it, get it out on the housetops. let everybody know what's going on because you have a light that's inside of you that's manifesting out of you and yeah, they want to see that and they, you know what, they respond to that. Like I said, my aunt, I spoke to her the week before and told her we were coming out because it's it's a bit of a drive to get to her. She's in another state, but it was just interesting to see how she responded. And it was, I'm just coming out in faith. I'm going to put the Lord first and then I'm going to come over here and pray for you because I love you. And when that love Oh my goodness. Her and I were crying on the phone. Anyways, the Lord moves. And that is the anointing there. And I love that. So, we want to teach it. You want to get it out there. You want to tell people about it. And it says, "Fear." Here it goes again about fear. And fear not them which kill the body but are not able to kill the soul, but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell. Now, there's a very interesting scripture. It's not one I hear uh spoken on quite often, but there are killers out there, and it's more than just a person. And we're talking there's a spirit of killing that is out there. That's for another teaching. I can teach on that another time. There's a an avenger there. All of these spiritual things are going on in the background. Well, here's what's so interesting is there are other things that are killing us every day. It could be the sun rays. It could be the medications we're taking. There's consequences to all of this cuz see our flesh is just that. It's flesh. It's dying. Every day we get up, we age another day. Doesn't start over. We don't go back to our youth. At least not in the physical without God. When you put God first in your life, here is another thing that happens. When you put Jesus first, you wake up renewed, refreshed. His uh joy is his mercies are new every day. You have that opportunity to start a new day over with him. Again, this is why I start with him first every morning. Pull out my scripture. We pray and I've got my set I'm an intercessory prayer warrior. So, I pray every I have a set set of prayers that I do for each day of the week. And this is because I give God glory. I put him first in my life and then all the rest of the things. Now I I will tell you, am I aging still? Yes. Am I aging better than some? Yes. Am I aging a little slower or something? Yes. And it's not because of my bathroom routine or the soaps I use. It's because I spend time with Jesus first. He's the oh, I don't want to use the term magic elixir for the youth or the fountain of youth, but he is our life. And when you put him first, you have life. You see, Romans 6:23 says, "The wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is life." We have life and life abundantly when we put Jesus first in our lives. Amen. Continuing on to verse 29. Now I want you to get this and and understand. He says, "Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? And one of them shall not fall on the ground without your father, but the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear ye not, therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows." You see, God takes care of the sparrows. He takes care of all the birds out there. They are wellfed. They die when he says they're to die. He does all and he then he comes out and says, "But how much more valuable are you than them?" He even knows how many hairs you have on your body at any given time. And that changes by the second. I mean, because especially the older you get, your hair thins out, you're losing hair, and then you end up and then you end up with extra hair in places you're not supposed to. That's okay because this is how God knows us at every moment of every day. You see, he's out of time. He's not aging. He's the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow. Whereas you and I are outside of him. We're in time. So, we change. I'm not the same person I was 20 years ago. For that matter, I'm not the same person I was five years ago. It it is amazing to see even after being a Christian since I was six how my relationship with the Lord transformed and changed throughout the ages of all these years of the decades you know I am going on 56 years old no I'm 56 going on 57 something like that but I know this I know that the Lord is first in my life and because I put him first my entire being transformed. I'm not the same. I am not going to be the same either because I don't want to go back that way. I want to go forward and be closer to the Lord, especially now that I know how valuable I am to him. This is why Jesus went to the cross and died for me and for you. It was the most difficult thing to do and there's so much he did in that moment. But he did it because he loves us. He considers us valuable. He paid the ransom for you and I because we were taken captive and he set us free with his act on the cross. And it's it's incredible. And and when you get that suddenly it now the reverse happens. He's more valuable to me than anything else in this world or that what this world can offer. I mean, I just love the fact that I have breath in my lungs. Yeah. I I'm also getting aches and pains as I age. Um I also seeing the as I age, you know, more wrinkles, but I'm walking more in wisdom now. And I wouldn't change it for a thing. I love the way the knowledge I have today with my Lord. And I don't want to go back. My eternity actually has already begun. And part of that was when I accepted Christ into my heart when I was six. I was waterbaptized when I was nine. And the Lord has transformed my life. And he continues to do it every day. My relationship has grown exponentially. And it continues to grow because I put him first. It is an action on my part and I encourage you to act on that too. Make him a priority because he's more valuable than all the money in the world. And I promise you that. Amen. Continuing on now, we're in verse 32. This is our opening scripture. Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my father which is in heaven. Now see, when you enter into the world, so you spent secret time with the Lord, you were in hidden because you put him first. You you said, "I'm going to read this morning." That was just you and him in that quiet, private moment. And you decided to open up that word and you read it. Well, then he talks to you through that word and he says, "Go confess it to those out there." And so what you did in secret becomes public because of God. You see this is why when you do secret things, secret sin, it will become public. Now you have to confess that before the Lord and say, I do not want to live like that. So the question to ask here now and to ask yourself this is am I doing something in secret in with the Lord and is it possible that he could reveal that and it's like he can do anything. So if he's going to reveal that eventually, then maybe you ought to confess, repent, and turn your life around so that what you're doing in the darkness, which is I praise the Lord in the darkness. And when you're doing that, it comes out in the forefront, especially, you know, as you are confessing before men, you're acknowledging Jesus before men. He's going to acknowledge you before his father, our father who art in heaven. And then verse 33 says, "But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my father which is in heaven." And denial there means to contradict or disavow. You go against what God is doing. And I can there's a lot of examples I can use and the one that comes to my mind right now is which I think is a classic example is the hatred of our president Trump. People hate him. They have their reasons and they're probably justified. But see, God asks you to forgive. And if you're not going to do that, see, God has forgiven. And if you're supposed to be Christlike, then you need to line up with him and forgive. If you're not going to do that, now you're just portraying anger and hatred out against him to the world. Well, guess what God is going to do to you? See, that comes back to you because of the choice in the decision that you decided to make on that. And this is where we have to realize even if we disagree and there, you know, we're we bigly or majorly disagree, that still means God is still in control and he's all about mercy. So, we need to line up and have mercy with him. Give him that mer give the mercy to the Lord and give the hatred to the Lord. Have mercy and say, "You know what, Lord? I'm going to take my eyes off of him. Take my eyes off of the hatred. I'm going to put my eyes on you. I'm gonna fix my eyes on you. And that is where the change begins in your life because you put Jesus first in your life. This is another thing that all of this section of scripture just talks about what happens when you put Jesus first in your life. This is why I entitled this message the way I did. Look at this now. Uh verse 34. Think not that I am come to send peace and on earth by the way the word peace there is also means prosperity says I came not to sense peace but a sword or war punishment you see a lot of people think that when you become a Christian you're all at peace and the God of peace is upon us but that doesn't mean he doesn't change the actions of the world. War still takes place. Racism is still out there. Hatred is still out there. And by the way, people who believe in Christ can also hate. So you have all of this activity still going on because Jesus didn't come to bring peace. What did he come to do? says in verse 35, "For I am come to set a man at variance, or to make a part against his father, and the daughter against his mother, and the daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law. And a man's foes to hate shall be they of his own household." Those that are going to hate you are your own household. This is why one of the things I was worried about going to visit my aunt uncle to pray over them was what they believe in versus what I believe in. I thought maybe this is going to turn into a clash of religion talk or you know politic talk at at the dinner table for your loved ones like at Thanksgiving or Christmas. But it didn't turn into that. One of the reasons is I went to the Lord, gave it to the Lord. I had people calling and texting me saying what's going on because the spirit was doing a rally call to those around me saying pray for her. pray for her family and the Lord was moving and he moved in that area and that's why it happened the way it did. I put Jesus first. Do you want your loved ones saved? If so, that you got to put Jesus first. Cuz see, one of the things that I know was one of the key factors here was when I was talking to her on the phone over several conversations, I would tell her, "I love you and I love Uncle so and so trying to keep this uh private for them. I would confess the love over them and you know what that resonated with them. See, I'm not here to force anything on anyone. You don't like this, turn it off. Walk away. But if you're really somebody who wants to put Jesus first in your life, there are consequences to putting Jesus first in your life, that's saving your family, that's saving your neighbors, that's ministering at church, but it's mostly being in the secret place with the Lord. Psalm 91. And I've taught a lot on Psalm 91 throughout the years. You can go see a whole I think one year I think almost every single message I taught that entire year had to do with get into the secret place of the Lord because what he does in secret he what you do in secret is going to be revealed. Now continuing on, he says um he that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me. And he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. And he that taketh not his cross followeth after me is not worthy of me. What he's saying here is what is your priority? Are you trying to be better than your parents? Maybe at a certain age you the rebellion you had is kind of still secretly there as you got older and now you know they're getting up there in age and you've seen them change but you're like I remember them the way they were. Well, see this is where you have to let the Lord change you too. And we are in a season right now where I see it happening on a personal level for a lot of people, but there's still a lot of people out there that are full of hate. And the anti-semitism right now is just absolutely incredible. I I if you would asked me 10 years ago that this was even possible, I I would have said, "Well, maybe some, but this is at a level where it's on a corporate level, on a national level, on a city level, on a the hatred and the anger is really, really bad towards um the Jewish community. I mean, to the point where they're just shooting them in the back, which is what happened a couple weeks ago to a beautiful uh couple that he was about to propose to her. And you know, but they're hopefully with the Lord right now, just resting in peace. And right now our job is to be in the secret confessing Jesus asking him to remove that hatred from us. Asking him to remove the hurt from us because a lot of hatred is driven by hurt. So we just have to say, "Lord, I want to be healed by you and I'm going to let this go." And and you just give it to the Lord. And notice it says here in love. Look at that. It says in love. Says he that love. So he's talking about love. So if your active love is towards your family, towards uh other things, you might even love the hatred you have towards President Trump. You might love that more. That's an act of love because you're spending and dwelling so much time on it. That's your act of love. So how do you get your act of love to change? You have to put Jesus first in your life. And to do that is to come into your secret place. This is what I do in here. And when I again, it's first thing I do in the morning. It's the last thing I do at night. I pray and I read the word of God because he's more valuable to me. And I love him more than any other thing out in the world. In fact, this world has nothing to offer me anymore. I choose Christ and I look forward to being in his presence. Now, I'm not going to jump the gun or do anything stupid. I have a job here to do. I'm going to do it and I'm going to do it out of love because one of the things that he revealed to me in the last couple years of my life is that he loves everybody else just as much as he loves me. And if I'm gonna line myself up with him and I'm gonna be like Jesus, then I'm going to love them like he loves them. Now, I may not be able to do it to the full extent like he went to the cross. I can't do that. But what I can do is I can pray, intercede, and just say, "Lord, I forgive them." And when I forgive, he's obligated to forgive. And that's found in Matthew 6. So this is a time and a season where we want to humble ourselves before the Lord and show him our love by spending time with him. Now it is prophesied in Matthew 24 that love will grow cold. Well, let me tell you something. It might be cold. Maybe I'm not doing it to the full extent of of generations like the disciples did after they saw what Jesus went through. I'm sure they believed and love God so much so that they went to the cross for him. I don't know that I could ever do that, but I know this. My eyes are fixed on him. I choose him first in my life. And because I do that, all of these things happen in my life. Amen. Let's close in a word of prayer. Father God, we thank you for your word. We thank you for touching our hearts and allowing love to grow in our hearts. So that we show our appreciation and love for you in the secret place that is revealed in the public. that we are interceding and praying for those and that what you reveal to us in our secret place, we preach it out on the housetops or the rooftops to the world and we let them know that you're our priority. And because that we love you and now that I know you love the others, I am hoping and praying for them that not one soul is lost, which Jesus said they would not lose one. And I thank you for that, Father God. We love you and we praise you. We put you first in our lives in the name of Jesus. Amen. And amen. Thank you. God bless you and I will see you in the next teaching. Bye-bye. Home Watch the Video Teaching

  • PERSEVERANCE | House of Faith Ministries (HoFM)

    PERSEVERANCE Written Teaching Minister Lisa Kane July 10, 2022 Objective The objective of this message is to encourage believers to remain steadfast in their faith during trials and tribulations by holding onto the hope, peace, and confidence found in Christ. It seeks to show that perseverance produces character, character strengthens hope, and hope anchors us in God’s eternal promises. Synopsis In this message, Lisa Kane opens with Romans 5:1–5, highlighting how justification by faith brings peace with God through Christ. She explains that while life is full of trials, tribulation produces perseverance, perseverance builds character, and character fosters hope that does not disappoint because it is rooted in God’s love poured out by the Holy Spirit. Lisa emphasizes the sacrificial love of Christ demonstrated in Romans 5:8, reminding listeners that Jesus died for all humanity while they were still sinners. This truth is framed as the ultimate example of real love, contrasted with the world’s distorted definitions. God’s plan from the beginning—foretold in Daniel and fulfilled in Christ—shows His intent to end sin and bring everlasting righteousness. The message then turns to Psalm 27, where David’s confidence in the Lord through trials serves as a model for modern believers. Lisa applies this scripture to contemporary struggles, including cultural ideologies and societal pressures, stressing that Christians must stand firm on God’s Word, knowing that they will one day give an account before Him. Perseverance, she teaches, is not only about enduring hardship but about keeping the eternal perspective of standing before God. This perspective equips believers to resist fear, find strength in the Holy Spirit, and experience the joy and peace of knowing their eternal destiny. Lisa reassures those facing despair—even suicidal thoughts—that hope in Christ offers deliverance, strength, and a transformed character on the other side of trials. The sermon concludes with a call to remain faithful, patient, and courageous, clinging to the vision of eternity with Christ. Believers are urged to live with the assurance that one day they will hear the words, “Well done, good and faithful servant,” and to let this confidence fuel their perseverance through every tribulation. Written and/or Transcribed Teaching from Video Hello and welcome to the House of Faith Ministries. I'm Lisa Kane and I'm recording this on Sunday, July 10th, 2022. This message is called Perseverance. Let's open up in a word of prayer. Father God, we lift up this message and we bless it in the name of Jesus and we thank you for your blessing on it. Let our spirits be nourished and fed and let our minds grab hold of the hope that we have in you. knowing where we're going to stand with you in the end. Thank you, Father God. In the glorious name of Jesus, we pray. Amen. Oh, it's going to be one of those messages. By the way, just so you know, I do have the air conditioner running and the fans running, so you're going to hear that hum in the background. I humbly apologize, but it is 95 degrees outside, and so I'm trying to keep it cool inside. We are in the middle of summer here, July 10th, 2022. All right. So, let's go to our opening scripture here. We're going to be looking at Romans chapter five. We're going to start here with verses 1-5. Uh, therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. Now, let's keep in mind, how are we justified by faith? The moment you ask Jesus into your heart to be your Lord and Savior because you can't see him, that is an act of faith. And notice when you do that, look at this. You have a peace with God through Jesus because you're asking Jesus to forgive you of your sins. So you have this peace. It is incredible because we do have tribulation. So I want you to see this that this is yours that you have this in spite of all that's going on. I'm going to show you the hope and the confidence that you have that's going to get you through all of this. Amen. So perseverance. Here we go. Uh verse two. through whom we also we have access by faith into this grace in which we stand and rejoice in hope of the glory of God. So we can rejoice in this. So when all hell's breaking loose, guess what? You can say, "I don't care. I know where I'm going to be with my God in heaven." Amen. Oh, let's look at how we know. Let's look verse three. And not only that, but we also glory in tribulations. This is what I'm talking about. Paul says it so perfectly here. We glory in tribulations knowing that tribulation produces perseverance and perseverance character and character hope. Now hope does not disappoint because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us. Oh hallelujah. So in spite of all the tribulations and the sufferings that we deal with, we get to see a visual of where we're going to be and have a hope. And remember what hope is. Hope is something we cannot see, but we can know. It's called faith. You're having this little bit of faith here that's going to get you through these things. So in spite of all the tribulations that we deal with, we get to see this hope and know where we are with Christ. Now, how does this work? Because that's going to be important here. How does that work? Well, let's continue with Romans 5 and look at verse 8. But God demonstrates his own love toward us. And now, while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Oh. Oh. Okay. Hold on. hold everything. So if you're lying, you're cheating, you're committing adultery, you committed murder, hey, you're living in homosexuality sin or you're trying it out, it's sin. Sin is sin. Okay? You are living in sin. Now whether you have asked Jesus to believe uh to come into your heart and you believe in him or not uh whatever you've done Jesus performed the most important act of love. Remember love is love. Well, how do you demonstrate love? Look at this. It he demonstrates his own love toward us and that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. If you read the previous scriptures between the first set and this one that I read, you will find and this is a true statement. Will you die for someone that you love? For that matter, will I die for someone that I love? You know, you have to wonder if you ever face that kind of situation what you would do. Some people have the gumption and will do it. But there are others that won't. And it doesn't matter how much of you're a believer or a sinner. If you're not going to die for someone, you're not demonstrating love. Simple as that. So, love isn't love as the world would like us to believe. Love is dying for someone. And Christ died for all of us. And you know what? We were still sinners when he died for us. Oh, you you got to capture this. Think of this. Think of this. Imagine when the flood came out thousands of years ago and God was facing a situation. Now I I'm I'm looking at it from a human perspective, but I this is something to grasp on to because this is so mindblowing. Imagine him facing ending the the world at that point with the flood and starting over because he looked at mankind and saw the sin was continuously in their hearts. But you know what he was thinking? He was thinking, "Lisa in 2022 on July 10th is going to be talking about this very moment and she's going to believe in me. I got to save this world." That is how God thought this through. And in whether he was at the point of the flood or this was in his planning phase when he saw the whole thing and knew the outcome, whenever it was, he saw Lisa. He saw you. He saw what we will be like. And he knew some would believe and some wouldn't believe. But he couldn't abandon the ones that chose to believe. So he demonstrated the greatest act of love by sending his only begotten son that whoever believes in him should not perish but have everlasting life. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Now, you got to understand that God has a plan here. This perfect plan, the one that he started in the beginning. And he knew. He knew that Lisa would believe. He knew that you would believe. He knew that us believers would be here. And in knowing that, he decided, "Okay, I got I'm going to put a plan. I'm going to put an end to sin." Now, take a look. Because see, we live in sin and we only know sin because that's what we're born into. We do not understand a world without sin. In fact, it's very difficult to comprehend who Jesus is. It really is confounding to say the least. You know, when you think of him as a god and then you think of him as a man and you think, "But I've sinned. Shouldn't you have?" But he didn't. And he went to the cross, but he took on all that sin and he started the act of putting it to an end. Look what Daniel says about uh this to the Israelites and talking to them. But this is the overall plan he's talking about. Daniel 9:24. 70 weeks were determined for your people and for your holy city 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. So he has a plan. And that plan is moving forward. So when you believe and you do have this peace and a hope that you can stand and we're going to look at that in just a moment. You can know that his plan is going forward and which means we're going to see tribulations. We're going to see hell on earth. And in reality, you know what? I've seen some news stories and I've seen some of the stuff that these people do. They get what they deserve. Okay, just saying the reality of the situation is they get what they deserve. And I hope though that they would repent and turn and try to make a better life for themselves. So even though you're a believer and remember as I taught uh actually over it's like a couple years now maybe uh I taught on being a soldier in God's army because as a believer in Christ you're going to have to deal with things and as you deal with things you've got to know the authority that you have and you got to know the tools that you have and how to use those tools. You can go check it out on our website. It is there. All that teaching is there and it's all in video. So you can go watch each step of being a soldier in God's army. It's based on Ephesians chapter 6. So now we know that God has a plan. We know that we're going to face tribulation. So but he said we had a hope and we have a comfort and a peace. He left us the comforter, the Holy Spirit. So what is how do we grab that? How do we have that sustained in our mind? Because sometimes it's very difficult. You're in the situation and all you're thinking of is, "Whoa, there's that mountain, right? You're just being attacked, attacked, attacked." You know, this week wasn't one of my best weeks. But that's okay. I just trust in the Lord that I know where I'm going to stand. So, let's look at what Psalm 27 has to say. We're going to go through that entire chapter because it is so powerful. It is the and and David wrote this psalm the and it it helped him sustain and he went through some serious trials and tribulations. This is your rock, your comfort. You got to remember this chapter. You got to hold on to it because as you get the vision of where you're going to be in the end, you're going to be looking at the straw going, nobody's going to care in 100,000 years. And here's the best part. It builds your character. It helps you persevere. It you just keep on going. For those of you who are dealing with uh suicidal thoughts, listen, there is a life right on the other side of getting through this trial and tribulation. And I want you to capture that. You need to repent. You need to ask Jesus to forgive you of your sins. And I promise you, I promise you, and Jesus, I'm on his side. This is a promise from him that you will be saved and that you will get to the other side and a much stronger individual. Amen. So, let's go look at Psalm 27 and start there. I I you guys, this is going to blow your way. Psalm 20. We're going to start here with verses 1 and two. The Lord is my light and my salvation. Whom shall I fear? The Lord is the strength of my life. Of whom shall I be afraid? We're gonna stop there. There's other scripture. And again, I don't want to give you all the scripture. I want you to go look these up yourself. Oh, death. Oh, death. Where is your sting? Think of it this way. There is life, there is death, and there's eternity. Eternity is where you're going to spend after death. Now death could come in the form of anything. Cancer, car accident, swimming accident, you name it. COVID, you name it. Death happens. The rapture will take you out of this body in essence as a form of death. But here's the best part. When you stand to face God at your judgment, who is the greater to fear the tribulation you're dealing with now, which is minuscule and nothing according to God or God. So when you put your mind right with God and you are looking at God and you're looking at that moment where you're standing in front of him and that moment should drive your entire life. So when you're faced with the current woke society because we're at war. We have ideology wars on us. They have the genderless war taking place currently in the news the other day. Uh, they don't want to call him mother or mother. They want to call her the birthing parent. Listen, you want to call her a birthing parent? Sure, it makes sense. Put it in a book, whatever. But don't eliminate the word mother. You see what they're doing here? They're trying to indoctrinate us into their ideology that all men and women are the same. And in all reality, we're not. In fact, there are no two people alike in the world. Even twins are not alike. You might see the similarities of people across the world, but we're all different. We're all different. And you know, that's we got to grasp onto the uniqueness that we're all different. And here's the best part of it though. In that uniqueness, you get to stand in the presence of God of who you are. You, me, Lisa, the uniqueness of Lisa is going to stand before God. So when you the uniqueness of you stands before God, how are you going to face him? Trying to be like the world or trying to be like yourself. So you have to overcome the ideologies. Even what I was saying earlier in homosexuality, love is love. You see, when you're attacked with this, you have to think of what is more important in the long term of things. you standing before God and facing him or and acce or accepting what the world is trying to force on you to accept their ideology to bless it. In essence, that's what the movement of the LGBTQ whatever it is that is moving forward today. That ideology is saying you have to accept me for who I am. Whatever God accepts you for who you are, by the way, so there's nothing wrong with that. Uh but they also want you not only to accept you but to accept their sin and bless it and and in in essence giving them a word that says when they face God, hey look God, I had the whole world behind me, I got their blessings, which means we're right, you're wrong. You know what? God is patient though and God is trying to get your attention and he's saying, "Listen, yes, you're going to face me, but I'm going to assure you, you're not going to be feeling that way at that moment. You are not. It's going to be you and him and the books." So, you have to look at that moment and realize, okay, so then if they're forcing this ideology on me and you say, "No, I'm not going to approve or bless your sin. You want to be a sinner, that's between you and God, go sin. Sin is fun for a season. It feels good for a season, but it backbites you. It comes after you later, and it will haunt you on the day that you're in the presence of the Lord. So, you have to realize that there's got to be a moment where you need to repent and turn from that and say, "Okay, Lord, what am I going to do here?" and and say, "I I'm sorry, and I need to call on you and I need you to be my Lord and Savior." And as that believer, when you're faced with these ideologies, remember where you're going to be standing on judgment day. And the answer is simple. I don't accept your ideology. I got to face God in the future. And when I do, I'm going to do it on his terms in the word of God, not your terms. That, my friend, is the secret to persevering because you have that hope because you know it's going to happen. For all of you who are telling you there is no life after death, they're lying to you. Yes, I get it. I have no proof. But I promise you that the moment you repent, you will have your proof because you will know it. You will feel it. It will be a part of you and it is very comforting. So then whom shall you fear? I would go with God and not the world. The world can do nothing. I just taught on Nehemiah and I taught about discernment there. But I also taught that he had the authority of God. He had the authority of the king to do what he was doing. And even though the whole wicked world around him was trying to stop him, he kept persevering and he did it. and he got to the other side because of his authority. So you can get to the other side and you will have a better character. You will be full of hope and comfort because I promise you as you go through every tribulation and some are small, some are bigger, you do come out with a better character. Amen. Whom shall you fear? So remember you have the authority of God. Stand on God's word. Verse two, when the wicked came against me to eat up my flesh, my enemies and foes, they stumbled and fell. Look at Nehemiah. The enemies fell. They couldn't do anything. And for all of you who have testimonies, you already know this. I have testimonies. It is absolutely amazing. When you get to the other side, you go, "Wow, I stressed over that and it was nothing." It's amazing. We're just we're in the flesh and that is very hard. But if you keep your mind on where you're going to be standing in the presence of God, decision-m should become much, much easier. Let's go to verse three now. Though an army may encamp against me, my heart shall not fear. Though war may rise against me, in this I will be confident. And I just talked about wars, the war of ideology, I can be confident in knowing because see, you make the decision because you're standing in the presence of God. And so you make the decision based on his word. You stand for his word because the word is Jesus. I know it's all beaten up. I I use my word. I get in here. Get into your word. This is Jesus. This is how you're going to get to know who Jesus and God is. Don't listen to the world tell you who Jesus is. You need to get into the word of God and find out who he is. And then you can stand in confidence when you're in this war. And we are in war. We're being attacked with all of these ideologies. And we need to stand strong. And I'm telling you too, there's a physical war coming because whenever you have a spiritual war like this, it's in the heavens. Whatever happens in the heavens happens on the earth. Whatever happens on the earth happens in the heavens. Look at what uh Jesus said when he gave the key keys to the kingdom of heaven. He said, "Whatever you bind on heaven is bound in heaven. Whatever you loose on earth is loosened in earth." So or loosed in heaven. So get into those scriptures, study them, learn them, and have the confidence. Remember where you're going to be standing. You're going to be standing in front of God. And so you say, "You know what, Lord? Your word said this. I'm going to stand on your word and I'm going to be confident in knowing that I'm going to be better than what this war is after me." And yeah, there were consequences. They're going to try to hurt you. But in Nehemiah, they couldn't do nothing. They had no authority. And until God is ready to remove you, they can't do nothing. Oh, death. Oh, death, where is your staying? Oh, this is awesome. You should have the confident and the hope now. And watch how this works out. This is so amazing. Verse four. One thing I have desired of the Lord that I that will I seek. That I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life to behold the beauty of the Lord and to inquire in his temple. If you are still thinking or have thought that you're going to be like some angel with wings and a harp and sitting on a cloud, come again. Because I'm going to tell you right now, that is not what heaven is like. And you are going to be blessed. And and if you just think about being in the presence of the Lord, the the healing, the feeling of being healed, the feeling of being delivered and no more sin, no more darkness, no more pain, no more. That alone should be a a mind opener, a an eyeopener as to what heaven will be like. Okay? You don't want to go to hell. Hell is for the devil. and and the Lord will put you there because if you choose him over he God then that's you know you you made your decision but I'm asking you to think about this think it logically through and say you know what I think I'd rather be in the presence of God listen you're made in his image so you have these self- thoughts and idea ideologies that you're kind of up here and that well I could be better or like you you stand on hey I know what's right God not you oh and And we do have that kind of characteristic traits that come out of us. Well, this is the time to say, "No, you know what? I'm going to humble myself before the Lord and I'm going ask the Lord why." And then when you go and find out because he will give you the answer. I promise you that. I've asked why many times, many times. And I got my answers. I promise you, you will get your answers. So, think of what heaven will be like. Think of when you're in that moment of judgment. That's more important than whatever trials and tribulations you're facing. And that should give you hope and confidence and should make your decision- making way easier on what to stand. So, if you have trouble believing, let's say, in evolution or creation, again, think on what heaven's going to be like and understand that if man hadn't fall, you wouldn't have to believe. But because he did fall, you have to believe, which means evolution is debunked. It couldn't happen. That's because you're keeping your eyes on the prize of where you're going to be for eternity. It helps. I'm promising you that. Builds your confidence, builds your character, and helps you persevere through the trials and the tribulations. Amen. Let's continue on Psalm 27. We're in verse 5. For in the time of trouble, he shall hide me in his pavilion, in the secret place of his tabernacle. He shall hide me. He shall set me high upon a rock. Rock. The rock. Jesus is our rock. The righteous shall run into it. The strong tower a righteous shall run into. I taught on Jesus being our ark, our salvation when the end comes. Now remember Noah for the flood. Remember God was thinking Lisa at that time. He decided to save mankind and he saved eight people. And if you go and look at uh the ark encounter and you look at creation museum and you look at their studies that they did on DNA, you will find that our DNA goes back to eight lines. Eight people survived the flood. So there is scientific proof, one that the flood took place. They already know that. They're just trying to decide how big it was. And two, that our DNA does go to eight people, eight lines. So there is scientific proof. So if you are struggling in believing the Old Testament or believing Genesis, I promise you it is truth and the science is coming out. The world don't want it to. Again, here's another war that you're going through. The world don't want you to go through that or know that because if you didn't think that man fell, they can keep you in sin. You see how the devil works? But if you're a believer in Christ and you know what's coming, God has already prophesied about the tribulation in Revelation. Ezekiel has already prophesied there's going to be a great earthquake earthquake where all the walls fall. And that is before the Israelites are are covered or uh marked in the book of Revelation. So that's before the rapture because the the the Christians have to be removed in order for the uh 144,000 to be sealed. So on the day of the Lord, this earthquake happens. The sun turns dark, the moon turns red. There's there's a series of events. It's a day, a day you will never forget. I promise you, you want to be in that rapture. You do not want to be here for the tribulation. That is going to be hell on earth, literally. Uh and in in fact, the first five months, you're not going to be able to die. I just know that. Okay? go into the scriptures and look at it. But look, he says you will be hidden. Look at that. He shall hide me in his pavilion in the secret. There is a secret place. Now here we create our secret place when we spend time with the Lord. But God has a secret place for us. Don't know what it is yet. Secret, but I promise you it's there. And we are going to be comforted and held and protected in spite of all of that going on. Because you know what? One, it doesn't matter per se because when I stand before God, he's going to tell me some good words. I'm going to share those words with you. And I'm hoping he shares those words with you, too. You're going to be standing in his presence. And you're going to be in his eternity. And you're going to not be in hell. And you're going to be not hurting. You're going to be free. You're gonna be loved and at peace. That, my friend, is absolutely so important. So now you can look at that and let it be your confidence. Let it be your hope. Let it get you through the p the tribulations so you can persevere and be strong and have a better character when the next trial and tribulation comes through that you have to persevere through. Verse six. And now my head shall be lifted up above my enemies all around me. Therefore, I will offer sacrifices of joy in his tabernacle. I will sing. Yes, I will sing praises to the Lord. You know what? When you grab hold of this, you should be singing and you should be jumping up and down for joy, you should be like, "Yes, I I'm telling you, it is a a great mental picture to have because as you stand up strong, your head is above the shoulders. you are above your enemies. They look at you and in fact people of the world. They're considered your enemy right now until they become a believer. But they will be looking at you like what happened to you? Are you in la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la land? Good. You ought to be you ought to be in in the mindset of thinking of where heaven is and what heaven will be like because that is your comfort. That is your strength. And when they ask you because they will ask you and this is your testimony. You can say, "I know where I'm going to be with God when all is done." And you're going to say, "I'm going to be saved." And you can ask them, "Do you want to be saved, too?" And you know, when they see your confidence, your strength, and they see you expressing yourself, and they see the peace and the joy that you have and you singing the praises that you have, they will repent because it is a a catching it catches you. You know, Nehemiah, when I taught on that, the neighbors caught on like, "Okay, he he's going to fix this part of the fence. Well, I'm going to do my part." And then and it got it just kept catching on. It's like a fire that catches on. Amen. Amen. This is awesome. God is so good. Verse seven, here. Oh Lord, when I cry with my voice, have mercy also upon me and answer me. When you said, "Seek my face." My heart said to you, "Your face, Lord, I will seek." Do not hide your face from me. Do not turn your servant away in anger. You have been my help. Do not leave me nor forsake me, oh God of my salvation. And when you finally grab hold of God and you ask, you repent and you get, you grab hold and you hold on tight. Put his face right in front of you. Put it right there. Don't let go. You say, "Lord, do not leave me. Do not forsake it." and he won't. And that's what he gives you, that comfort, that hope that you can know that you are in his presence. Hallelujah. Because you're seeking his face. You're seeking him. Find out who he is. You're going to be shocked. The world's angry at nothing. But God is all knowing. He has the answers. He's righteous. He is just. But he loves you so much. He sent his only begotten son even as you are a sinner. Verse 10. When my father and my mother forsake me, then the Lord will take care of me. I want you to understand something. as you age and sometimes when you're young, you you have to face this. Um our parents die, you know, people die and whether it's a parent or uh a loved one, someone who's cared for you and taken care of you and they're removed. They're they're no longer a caretaker. They're no longer available to take care of you, whether they're living in an Alzheimer's home or they've gone on to be with the Lord. They forsake you. But I'm going to tell you right now, Jesus doesn't forsake you. He's the rock that you can rely on. And you know what? And you know, he will take care of your parents and your loved ones. You can have the confidence to know he's got life and death in it. He made it. He understands it. And he understands that you are afraid. You know how many times he said, "Do not be afraid." I forget how many times it is written in the Bible, but it is written so many times to not be afraid. And it is hard, especially when you're in the middle of that trial or tribulation, grieving for a lost one. You're sitting there and you're just like, "Wow, Lord, how am I going to get through this?" But you go to him, you seek his face, you hold on, you don't let go, and you know that he is your strength. and remember where you're going to be standing in his presence in the future. Verse 11, teach me your way, O Lord. And think about that. Teach me your way, oh Lord. His way. He knows about death. He knows what the spiritual realm is all about. He will teach it to you. But you have to get into his presence to find out. It is all in here. But as long as you let the world get in your way first, you will never get your answers. And then you wonder why you have such a hard time with the trials and the tribulations even as a believer. Because it is hard. It's hard to have faith. But if you're seeking him, you can have that confidence knowing where you're going to be in in the future because you're going to be there. You will be there. You will be there. So grab on and say, "Okay, I'm going to hope and know I'm going to be there." And that should give you the confidence of how to live your life. Teach me your way, O Lord, and lead me in a smooth path because of my enemies. Do not deliver me to the will of my adversaries. For false witnesses have risen against me, and such as breathe out violence. Again, the enemy is going to do everything they can to get to you. Even lie. Look at what Trump's going through. And there's so many lies about him, but he stands for God. And he'll say, he comes out and says, "This is not truthful." And you know what? I'm gonna promise you this. He'd be in jail or even dead by now if they had found anything evil on him. They didn't. They wanted it so bad and they can't. So, they're trying to figure out what's the best way, best lie we can make up. So what do you do? You seek his word and you remember where you're going to be when it's your time to face the Lord. I'm going tell you right now, it it it it makes the tribulation not so important anymore. Amen. Amen. The last two verses, verses 13 and 14. I would have lost heart unless I had believed that I would see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. Oh, it is so easy in the middle of that trial and tribulation. Look at people who have committed suicide. It is easy to lose hope and to lose sight of where you're going to be because the enemy wants you to think that way. He He's trying to confuse you and keep you pushed down. Stand with confidence and remember where you're going to be. Look at that moment. You're in the presence of the Lord. You have to make an accounting for yourself. So, what's it going to be like? You going to live by the rules of the world? Are you going to live by the rules of God? And look what else he says here in verse 14. Wait on the Lord. Be of good courage and he shall strengthen your heart. Wait, I say on the Lord. you know, as you are patient because, you know, we know we're in the trials and tribulations we're facing right now. And this is just the beginning of birth pains as Matthew, Mark, uh, as Jesus says in Matthew and Mark and Luke, this is just the beginning. So, there's going to be it's going to get real bad and it's coming. So, as we sit here, this is the time to reinforce our mind on that visual. Picture yourself in front of his presence. Picture yourself knowing what he's going to say. Picture yourself seeking the word. Picture yourself standing up going, "These trials and tribulations are nothing because I've got a better place to be." Picture yourself making the decisions of the word of God and not of the world. Picture yourself in the knowledge that you have hope, faith in Christ, and keep that in mind and wait for it. So as you wait for it, as you get to you're visualizing it, you see it coming and it's coming. Every day that every day passes, it gets closer and closer. Amen. name. Remember, these are the words that you should be hoping to hear. Look at these words. This is when you stand in the moment of God. Matthew 25:23, his Lord said to him, "Well done, good and faithful servant. You have been faithful over a few things. I will make you ruler over many things. Enter into the joy of your Lord." I use that scripture because these are this is about um the talents that we're given. You're given a testimony. Share your testimony. Let your talent be rewarded. Stand strong. Well done, good and faithful servant. Remember that moment. Hasn't happened yet, but remember it by seeing it. Hold on to it. Let it be your comfort. Let it be your confidence. Let it be your hope. And when you come out of the trial and the tribulation, your character goes up and you can say with confidence, I persevered and I made it. Hallelujah. Thank you, Lord. Thank you. Thank you. Let's close in a word of prayer. Father God, we bless this word and we thank you for your blessing on it. Oh, let us have our strength and our courage and our confidence and our hope in you. And let us hold on to that visual that we have for you and with you in that moment. We're going to be with you. Thank you, Father God, in the glorious name of Jesus. Amen. Well, amen. God bless you guys. I will see you in the next video. Bye-bye. Home Watch the Video Teaching

    Say this prayer out loud: Mighty Heavenly Father, I lift up to Your throne the body of Christ, all of our family members, which includes in-laws and to our fourth cousins that we don’t even know, and I forgive them of their iniquities, the sins they have committed, the curses against them, the curses spoken from them, and the sins of the land they walk on; and I ask You heavenly Father to forgive as them well per Matthew 6:14 KJV “14 For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you:” Demons, loose all of our family members, which includes in-laws and our fourth cousins that we don’t even know, the Lord rebuke you per Jude 1:9 “9 Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil he disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing accusation, but said, The Lord rebuke thee.” I bind you with fetters of iron to the iron below my feet here on earth preventing you from interfering in all of our family members, which includes in-laws and our fourth cousins that we don’t even know ever again per Matthew 16:19 KJV “19 And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.” And per Psalm 149:6-9 KJV “6 Let the high praises of God be in their mouth, and a two-edged sword in their hand; 7 To execute vengeance upon the heathen, and punishments upon the people; 8 To bind their kings with chains, and their nobles with fetters of iron; 9 To execute upon them the judgment written: this honour have all his saints. Praise ye the Lord.” And Heavenly Father, I bless all of our family members, which includes in-laws and our fourth cousins that we don’t even know with softened hearts to be able to perceive and live by Your Word because even you showed the disciples how hard their hearts were when they didn’t believe when You rose from the dead: Mark 16:14 KJV “14 Afterward he appeared unto the eleven as they sat at meat, and upbraided them with their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they believed not them which had seen him after he was risen.” I also bless all of our family members, which includes in-laws and our fourth cousins that we don’t even know with a spirit of reconciliation because that is the ministry You have given us. Let the spirit of God move forth in the hearts of our family members to forgive and reconcile their lives back to Jesus, the Son of God as Paul states in 2 Corinthians 5:18-19 KJV “18 And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation; 19 To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.” I pray all of our family members, which includes in-laws and our fourth cousins that we don’t even know are restored into the joy of salvation, and to the paths of righteousness as the following scriptures state: Psalm 23:3 KJV “He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.” Psalm 51:12 KJV “Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free spirit.” I pray that the fruit of the spirit stated in Galatians 5:22-23 KJV “22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, 23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.” manifests within the hearts of all of our family members, which includes in-laws and our fourth cousins that we don’t even know. I pray that the gifts of the holy spirit stated in 1 Corinthians 12:7-12 KJV “7 But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal. 8 For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit; 9 To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit; 10 To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues: 11 But all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will. 12 For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ.” would unite the body of Christ under one leadership, the Holy Spirit and that the Spirit of God moves through each of us so that we know what to pray, how to pray, when to pray, and praise the living God in all that we do. I take back my family members and atone on their behalf by saying the following: I stand in their shoes and lift their hands and my hands to the Heavenly Father saying, Lord, forgive us our sins, come into our hearts, and be our Lord and Savior as Romans 10:9 KJV says “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.” For I choose to atone and believe on behalf of my family, in-laws, and up to my fourth cousins in the Name of Jesus, the Son of the Living God. And gracious Heavenly Father, we praise You as Psalm 150:1-6 KJV says “150 Praise ye the Lord. Praise God in his sanctuary: praise him in the firmament of his power. 2 Praise him for his mighty acts: praise him according to his excellent greatness. 3 Praise him with the sound of the trumpet: praise him with the psaltery and harp. 4 Praise him with the timbrel and dance: praise him with stringed instruments and organs. 5 Praise him upon the loud cymbals: praise him upon the high sounding cymbals. 6 Let every thing that hath breath praise the Lord. Praise ye the Lord.” You are praised because You are. We now walk forward in peace knowing that You and Your angels are moving behind the scenes doing what You need to do to accomplish Your will as Psalm 103:20 KJV says “20 Bless the Lord, ye his angels, that excel in strength, that do his commandments, hearkening unto the voice of his word.” In the Name of Jesus, the Son of the living God we pray in unity, Amen!PRAY FOR YOUR FAMILY PRAY FOR YOUR FAMILY PRAY FOR YOUR FAMILY Say this prayer out loud: Mighty Heavenly Father, I lift up to Your throne the body of Christ, all of our family members, which includes in-laws and to our fourth cousins that we don’t even know, and I forgive them of their iniquities, the sins they have committed, the curses against them, the curses spoken from them, and the sins of the land they walk on; and I ask You heavenly Father to forgive as them well per Matthew 6:14 KJV “14 For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you:” Demons, loose all of our family members, which includes in-laws and our fourth cousins that we don’t even know, the Lord rebuke you per Jude 1:9 “9 Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil he disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing accusation, but said, The Lord rebuke thee.” I bind you with fetters of iron to the iron below my feet here on earth preventing you from interfering in all of our family members, which includes in-laws and our fourth cousins that we don’t even know ever again per Matthew 16:19 KJV “19 And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.” And per Psalm 149:6-9 KJV “6 Let the high praises of God be in their mouth, and a two-edged sword in their hand; 7 To execute vengeance upon the heathen, and punishments upon the people; 8 To bind their kings with chains, and their nobles with fetters of iron; 9 To execute upon them the judgment written: this honour have all his saints.

  • EARS TO HEAR | House of Faith Ministries (HoFM)

    EARS TO HEAR Written Teaching Pastor Marcos Marrero November 24, 2006 Objective Equip believers to “have ears to hear” the Holy Spirit, recognize God’s glory and guidance in both the spiritual and natural realms, and respond in obedience so they can walk in their God-given destiny, avoid snares, and be ready for Christ’s soon return. Synopsis Opening in worship and prayer, the message calls the church to spiritual alertness: Jesus is coming soon, and the Spirit is speaking now. Using Psalm 19, the teacher shows how God’s glory and voice are constantly revealed—both in the heavens (spiritual) and the firmament (natural). Like the sun that none can escape, God’s revelation is always present; our task is to tune our “receiver” to His frequency. The teaching contrasts spiritual wisdom with simplicity/foolishness (Psalm 19:7–14; Proverbs 1:1–7). God’s Word converts the soul, enlightens the eyes, and warns us; if we heed it, we gain reward and freedom from dominating sins. Ignoring the Spirit’s rebuke invites avoidable calamity (Proverbs 1:20–33). Believers are urged to cultivate an intimate relationship with God (the “law of your mother”) and also learn to recognize His broader, Spirit-language guidance for the church and the times (the instruction of the Father). Romans 2:12–16 underscores that God’s moral law is written on human hearts; how much more accountable are believers who have Scripture and the Spirit. Destiny is described as God’s prewritten “blueprint”; only the Holy Spirit holds the full file and can lead each person into it. Therefore, hearing and obeying His voice—not mere activity—is essential. The message emphasizes deliverance and inner healing as prerequisites to destiny: the Spirit exposes secret faults, generational patterns, and strongholds so the Lord can heal the brokenhearted and set captives free. Finally, Numbers 28:2 introduces God’s “appointed times.” Seasons of open doors require focused obedience and readiness; missing them can mean costly delays. The word closes with a pastoral charge to reject distractions, pursue wisdom (especially in Proverbs), heed rebuke quickly, and engage in prayer and consecration so that God may entrust greater glory and assignment in these last days—followed by a prayer for healing, freedom, and steadfast response to the Holy Spirit. Written and/or Transcribed Teaching from Video How's everybody tonight? Blessed. Amen. Praise God. God is good. Hallelujah. Father in heaven, in the name of Jesus, what a privilege and honor it is to come in and uh and to celebrate you, Lord Jesus, for you are life. The word says that in you we live and move and have our existence. Without you, we're dead. Without you, there's no life. Without you, there's no joy. Without you, there's no peace. Without you, there's no uh uh life, light, nothing. Lord, everything will be so dark and so dreary without you. So, we do thank you that you are the light of the world. And we pray Lord that you will your life will arise tonight within our souls, within our hearts, Father God, that we may be able to hear for the Holy Spirit is speaking and he's speaking loudly and he's speaking forcefully and he's telling us that you are soon to come, Lord Jesus, and that we are to get ready. So, as we prepare tonight, Father in heaven, I pray that that you would bless each and every one of us here tonight, including myself, that you would grant us ears to hear what the Holy Spirit is saying to us tonight, that we may be able to understand and to receive with our hearts. Father God, not just with our minds, but with our hearts what the Holy Spirit is impressing on each and every one of us here tonight. Father, I take authority over every uh demonic stronghold, Father God, that may be over any of us over here tonight that will keep us from hearing what the Holy Spirit is saying. I bind it, Father God, according to the word of Isaiah. I condemn every spirit that will keep us from hearing the truth of the gospel of Jesus Christ, Father God. And I thank you and I praise you, Father God, for releasing us now to receive, Father God, the truth of your word, Father God, as spoken through the gospel of Jesus Christ by the Apostle Paul, Father God, when he proclaimed your gospel that you gave to him personally. And we thank you for we receive no other gospel, Father God. We receive no other Jesus and no other spirit, but that the true and living son of God, the word that came flesh, Father God, and we receive him now right here in our midst, Father God, to teach us and to lead us and to guide us into all truth. For your word, Father, is true. So bless your word now as he goes out and thank you for blessing those of us who will receive it. In Jesus name we pray. Amen. Amen. Praise God. Hallelujah. We're going to start uh with Psalm uh 19 vers uh well actually we're going to read the whole psalm but we're going to read the first four verses in Psalm 19. And what I'm uh the Lord has given me to share with tonight is about having ears to hear what the Holy Spirit will say to the churches. If you read in the um uh the letters uh the seven letters to the churches in revelation in I think it's revelation chapter 2 and chapter 3 each letter closes with let him who has ears hear what the spirit is saying to the churches. We need to understand that the Holy Spirit is speaking and that we need to be able to hear what the Holy Spirit is saying and able to uh and to be able to understand because how many know that if if we miss a sign in the freeway or on the street, we can get into trouble. You know, they pass this new year coming up, there's going to be all kinds of new laws that are going to be in the book. And none of us are probably going to know what the new laws are. But guess what? We break it, we pay for it. Whether we know it or not, it doesn't make any difference. We're liable to that. And so it is with the word of God. We need to know what the word of God says. In Psalm 19:es 1-4, it says, "The heavens declare the glory of God, and the firmament shows his handy work. Day unto day utters speech, and night unto night reveals knowledge. There is no speech nor language where their voice is not heard. Their line has gone out through all the earth and their words to the end of the world. What David is saying there that the heavens speaking about the spiritual realm declare the glory of God. The glory of God is a revelation of God. When when God reveals himself, there's light. There's a glorious radiance that God brings forth when you are full of God's glory. God's character is in you. You see the uh the blessings of God, the anointing of God, the the infilling of God, the promises of God, that's what walking in the anointing is or walking in the glory. When Jesus walked on the earth, he walked in the glory of God. We saw the the eternal glory when he went to the mouth mount of transfiguration and he shone brighter than the noonday sun. But actually he was the manifestation of the glory of God everywhere as he went. He was a manifestation of the glory of God when he was pe healing people. He was the manifestation of the glory of God when he was on the back of the boat sleeping. He was a manifestation of the glory of God when he hung naked on the cross. All were different aspects of God speaking to us. And then of course the day that he rose from the grave, that was the fulfillment of the glory. And every single one of us that believe that Jesus Christ is our savior and lord one day will rise up. We will be filled with that glory. But God speaks uh uh speaks to us to walk in that glory right now. See the glory is the anointing. the anointing. When Jesus went, every went, everywhere that Jesus went, demons manifested. He went to the synagogue, the synagogue ruler began to manifest. Why? Because the glory of God was in it. And that glory was known by the spirits that were in the room. And you see, you could just to the natural eye just be yourself. But when you walk in with the anointing of God into a room full of darkness, believe me, that darkness will know that somebody that has the glory of God living in his presence. Hallelujah. You're going to ruffle some feather. You're going to get some dirty looks or you're going to get some reaction, you know, when the glory of God is in you. But the glory of God has to be received. And if you notice over here, it says that the the heaven, the spiritual realm declares the glory of God. And then it shows also the firmament. The firmament is a physical. When you look at the at the heaven, you'll see the stars, you see the clouds, you see the sky. That also speaks of the glory of God. So here we have two kinds of of glory. one that is spiritual in the heavens and one that is um um uh that is visible. And then he said day onto day verse two utter speech that's speaking about uh there's revelation coming out during the day and night unto night it reveals knowledge. And then look what it says in verse three. There is no speech nor language where their voice is not heard. There's no place on the earth where you can go that you can hide from this glory that has been revealed. And it doesn't matter whether you don't understand English or you don't speak Spanish or you don't speak Chinese. Anywhere you're in the world, that voice speaking. You know why? Because it's speaking to your spirit man. And your spirit man only knows one language. See, all spirits speak one language. flesh is is that that's where the languages were divided in in in habel and a tower of babel babel where where the there was a confused but our spirits speak the same language you see all of us humans I don't care where you're at can can can tell when we're loved and when we're not we can tell when we're rejected and when we're accepted those things don't need language to tell you don't need no language to know that somebody really cares for you may not understand a thing they're saying But you can see it on their eyes. You can see it on their compassion. The same way if they hate you because spirits speak a different language. So here we have the manifestation of two revelations of speech. One is spiritual and one is physical. God speaks through both. God speaks through us through the spirit realm. This glory is being shown forth and then he also speaks through the little things. Have you ever just turned having happened to turn the radio on at the right time and and I remember before I got saved when the Holy Spirit was dealing with me, I was driving this uh motor home. We were going out to Yuseite or some place and I was desperately to to to hear something good. No music was playing. All I could find was a gospel station. I don't care where I would turn it, the preacher will always say, "Would you like to be saved and know it?" You know, I was a Catholic. I I believe I didn't need to be saved. I was already saved. You know, I didn't understand salvation. I didn't understand conversion. And so anywhere as I turn, the Holy Spirit will speak and will say, "Would you like to be saved and know it?" "Would you like to be saved and know it?" And yeah, would somebody tell me what it means to be saved? You know, it was like God. But but God speaks to you through a thing. You know, you could be going by a billboard and there's a big message over there and it's just for you. So God uses the physical realm as well as the spiritual realm to speak through us. Now uh at the end of verse uh four he says in them and if you have the notes there you see that I have a list of the heavens that I have in them in them in the physical realm God has set a tabernacle for the son. Verse five, which is like a bridegroom going out of his chamber and rejoices like a strong man to run his race. His rising is from one end of heaven and his circuit to the other end and there is nothing hidden from his seat. Now God is going to say my glory, the spiritual glory of God so that you can relate is pretty much like the sun. You can't hide from it. There's no place on earth where you can hide from the sun or even from the stars when when the sun is on the other side. Uh uh just like God set up a light a physical light which is the sun our star and it radiates and it gives life to with things and says that's what my glory is. You can be in the darkest cave you can be in the deepest ocean. You can be in the deepest forest. You know, sometimes one time I was we were going on an airplane to u San Louis Rio, Colorado. We were building a church there and it was so dark and gloomy and we took off of Compton airport. The church had a plane and when we broke through the clouds and got on top, it was like, oh my god, the sun was out and it was so bright, you know, because the clouds were white on the top and you could see and when you're below the clouds, it looks so dark and so gloomy, but yet the sun was up. And that's what God is saying. My glory is always there. Even when you're going through your darkest time, even when you're going to to where you cannot see anything, my glory is always there. Just like the sun. And the storms are not forever, my friend. The clouds are not there forever. There are seasons. That's what the sun was given for season. So we go through seasons when we cannot hear like we would like to hear or when we do not experience the glory of God like we should. But what God is teaching us that we need to learn to hear God speak to us even when there's clouds, even when there's darkness, even when there's gloom. You see, because God is speaking continuously. He says, "Tday and night, they utter speech." Now, all of a sudden, this psalm takes a complete turn. And in verse seven, it departs from everything that it was talking about the creation. And he says the law of the Lord is perfect. So you see he was given us something physical so that we could relate to something spiritual. The Lord the law of the Lord is perfect. Converting the what? The soul. See that's what God God is in the business of conversion. Did you know that we got messed up? You know, Adam and Eve, they they took the wrong turn. And ever since that day, humankind has been going downhill, okay? We we we're going the wrong way. You know, when I got saved, it's like God somehow had this super laser kind of thing. He just cut my my skull here just like a neat thing and like he lifted it up and he took my brain and he turned around and he put it back in and he closed it. That's how I felt when I got saved. It was like all of a sudden, oh man, wow, I can see now. You know, it's just like everything was messed up, but all of a sudden everything is right. That that's what salvation, that's what God is in the business of. And what does he do? He speaks. God speaks. How can they know unless you send somebody to preach there or to speak it? And so he gives us a uh you know a revelation of the spiritual with the physical heavens. And then now he comes in and he speaks about his word. He says the law of the Lord is perfect converting the soul. The testimony of the Lord is sure making wise the simple. Every time you would hear, and we're going to go to Proverbs in a little bit, but every time you hear the Bible using the word simple or fool is speaking about somebody who lacks spiritual understanding, you need to understand this because you can be Bill Gates and have billions and billions of dollars and if you don't understand the spiritual principles or the spiritual laws of God, you're a fool. Okay? We have to understand this is not talking about how smart you are, how street smart or college smart or how wise you are or how sharp or how you slow. When the Bible calls you simple, meaning you don't understand spiritual principle, you're not listening to what the Holy Spirit is saying. This is what the Bible calls the fool. The fool has said on his heart, there is no God. Why? Because he is blind to everything that's going. How can you not know that there is a God? You just need to look around. Look in the mirror. He's even joke. He likes to joke around. Just look in the mirror. Sometimes you'll see that God has a great sense of humor. He makes some people gray hair. He makes some people no hair. You know, he just has a great sense of humor. But but God is is is speaking and he says if you are not listening to the words that I speak to you, you're a simple that means you you have no spiritual understanding. you're a fool because you lack the knowledge and God doesn't want us to be in that condition. Let me read again Psalm 19:7 and we're going to go through uh through verse 10. It says, "The law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul. The testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise and simple. The statutes of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart, and the commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes. The fear of the Lord is clean, enduring forever. The judgments of the Lord are true and righteous allto together. More to be desired are they than gold. Yeah, that much fine gold. Sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb. You see, the word of the Lord is what man was created to indwell. You have to see this. It it talks about I think it's Psalm 95 and it talks about in Proverbs the Holy Spirit is speaking through I don't know if it was David or Moses. I think it was Moses who wrote Psalm 95 and David who published it and and then the writer of Hebrews which was probably Paul when they speak through the Holy Spirit the word of God says a body you prepare for me. See, the word of God, the glory of God, needed a physical house to dwell in. You see, if you go to space and you wear your regular clothes, you're going to fray. There's a vacuum in space. Your eyes are going to pop out and you're going to just explode. So, if you want to go into outer space, you better wear a suit. And this suit better have a cooling system in it and have oxygen and everything. If you're going to go down to the deepest ocean, you better have something there. You see, you need to the environment that you're going to, you need to have something to to be in that environment. Well, you see, a spirit, which the word of God is spirit, and God is spirit. In order to operate on the physical realm that God has created, you need a body. That's why demons are going after humans. They cannot experience. I mean, imagine being invisible and seeing a being having all of your senses and everything and being hungry and seeing this big old juicy steak, you know, and man, you can even smell it and you want to eat that thing. You can't get it. You can't get it. You're hungry. You're dying of thirst. This is what spirits are. This is why uh demons are Jesus said when they're cast out of a person, they're going through dry places. They need a body. Because a body is what gives you the ability to enjoy the things the blessings that are here on the earth. So we need to understand the the word the body the physical body was created to be inhabited by the glory of God. So when Jesus said a body you prepared for me and Jesus the word became flesh that body now was full of the perfect law of God. That is our purpose. That is our destiny. God intended for us to walk in the fullness of his counsel, in the fullness of his light. When God created Adam, he said, "You can have it all. Just stay away from this one thing because that one thing will allow something foreign, something that you were not created to endure to come into your body and to pollute your body, which is where we are, the condition that we are today, where we struggle with a a a nature that is not from God. God never created us to steal. God never created us to lie, to lie. God never created us to hate. God na never created us to to to to uh to defraud one another. God never created us to hurt. God is not that way. God is love. God is the complete fulfillment of perfection and goodness. That's what we're called to indwell. So you see now that we're born again, born again means that rejoice that your name is written in heaven. Rejoice that you have a connection now with the spirit of God. Because the spirit of God, see, it's like me having this paper over here and say, "Well, I want to watch the 10:00 news. How come the 10:00 news is not coming there?" Do you know the 10:00 news is right here? All you need is the right receiver. If I get an FM radio, I can pick up all kinds of stations. They're right here. If I get an AM receiver, I can get all kinds of station. If I get one of those um uh uh DVR channels or whatever, I can get all kinds of things. They're right here. But I need the right receiver to be able to receive what they're broadcasting. You see that? So, what I'm saying here is God is broadcasting. The spirit of God is broadcasting what he wants to do in you and me. what he wants to fulfill it. His word is looking for a body that can indwell, a a a body that will allow him to come in, a body that will allow him to bring his perfection into us. But in order to do that, we need to be able to tune in. We got to be able to hear because the spirit is speaking and without us being able to receive it, we're not going to play that good thing that God is playing. You see, because there's another guy that's broadcasting also, and his name is Satan. And guess what? You are already tuned to what he's broadcasting. You don't need to buy anything. You don't have to sign up for anything. Oh, man. You just look around. He's all over. He's sending thoughts into your mind continuously. As a matter of fact, a lot of some of you, he told you, "Don't go there tonight. Whatever you do, stay away from that place." He don't want you to tune in to the other channel. He didn't want you to tune in to where God is broadcasting. Because you see, when we are able to allow the perfect law of God to come in, a transformation begins to take place. Because you see, our body, our soul was designed to be inhabited by the word of God. Oh, hallelujah. We were designed to hear what the Holy Spirit is saying. Satan is being hard at work of messing all of your buttons, you know, like a guitar all out of tune. He's just and and and we need to hear what the spirit is saying to the churches. And that is confirmed of our next verses. Psalm 119 verse 11 through4. Look what it said. Moreover, by them your servant is warned. By what? By what the Lord is broadcasting. By the words that the Lord is broadcasting. Your servant is warned. Have you ever wished you would have been warned? I mean, we could have saved a lot of pain and headaches, you know, if we could just have a little uh uh uh whatchamacallit fast forward button. And we're going to make a decision, you know, before we make it. Let me fast forward this movie. See where it plays out. And woo, I don't want to go there. You know, some of those uh uh things might take you up to a couple of years behind bars. Some of the thing could take you out to 10 years bound by drug addiction. Some of the things can get you in in in the worst relation that you ever had that that that you know you like job, you wish you never been born. But you see, God is broadcasting your future to you. God is broadcasting the path that he has for you. God is telling you which way to walk in the path that he has for you. So it warns us. He tells us, he guidance. That's what he says here. By them your servant. Now notice that he uses the term servant. What is a servant? Somebody who is submitted. Somebody who is willing to listen to correction. Somebody who is willing to say, "Lord, I know I mess this up if I do it by myself. I need help. I need help." He said, "By them your servant is worn, and in keeping them there is a great reward." Oh, I like that. I like that. God is in the business of rewarding. Hallelujah. Did you know that uh um uh you know, I I think of things like this. You might think I'm weird, but uh you know, what do the angels do in heaven for fun? you know, I mean, there's a whole bunch of them up in there sitting and and the devil wants you to think that if you go to heaven, uh uh you know, you're going to wind up on a cloud with a harp, maybe playing the same tune all the time, and that's going to get boring after a couple of million years. You know, uh you know, you you know, but but think of this. God is in the throne, and out of the throne of God come forth lightnings and thundering. And in the book of Revelation, he tells us that every time there's a flash of lightning, the uh uh uh the uh the creatures uh uh the four living creatures just cried out, "Holy, holy, holy." and everybody throws himself to the floor and they just cried and and and you know what it is is those creatures are created in such a way that God can give them such a thrill such a high such a unit that every time there's a little flashing of life from the throne they just like become a feeding frenzy they just go why they lose all complete control the highest height and a minute later God can give another flash and it's just totally different. Oh man, you get so excited. That's what God created us for. Did you know that in eternity? That's why God is eternal because all eternity and you cannot see how big and how great he is. And he'll reward us like that. And we can get glimpses of that sometimes. We can, you know, one time I was in the in the freeway and I was just bemoning my faith and I'm working so hard and all two hours I was on the four or five freeway coming from there and I just and finally something slapped me in the face. God said, "Why don't you concentrate something positive, you know? I mean, you got my spirit in, you got my word." And I repented right there on the sp forgive me, Lord. And I just began to worship him. And man, he just gave me one of those flashes. And I, Holy Spirit is a better driver than I am. He drove home. But I'm telling you, like for an hour over there, I was just weeping. I got home, I was soaked with tears. He just gave me a little flash. And all I needed to do was just tune that old lousy station that I was listening to as to how bad I was because I was stuck in two-hour traffic. And just began to tune into him. And he just gave me a little tiny little reward. He just drew boom and man I just fell apart and like I said he can drive a stick ship truck. I can vow for that. He drove perfectly to the whole thing. I got home and I didn't know how I got home but I got home and everything was fine. No dents on it. Praise God. And so verse 11 Psalm 1911 more moreover by them your servant is worn and in keeping them there is great reward. Verse 12. who can understand his errors. Cleanse me from secret faults. Keep back your servant also for from presumptuous sins and let them not have dominion over me. Then I shall be blameless and I shall be innocent of great transgression. Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in your sight, oh Lord, my strength and my redeemer. Now listen to this. This is very important because this is how this is what happened when we tune in to what the Holy Spirit is speaking to us. Look what he he asked a question. David asked this question. Who can understand his errors? You don't know how you were made. You don't know how you've been messed up. You don't know what your generational line is and how many devil worshippers you had and how many Buddha worshippers you have and how many idolattors you have. You don't know how messed up your DNA is, how corrupted that has been. There's just so much garbage, you know, uh um numbers um is it numbers? Uh uh when the ten commandments are given and he says, I am a jealous god and I visit the iniquities of the fathers up until the children to the third and fourth generation. Uh 25, right? Exodus 20 verse five. Yeah. Anyway, uh we have a lot of things in us that cause us to do bad things. David said in Psalm 51 when after he was caught in adultery and and all the things he he says in sin my mother conceived me said I didn't have a chance. This was already on my gene. David was a descendant of Rahab the prostitute who married Solomon and and came down. So, who knows their faults? We don't. But God does. That's the good news. God does. And he's broadcasting. He's telling you, he say, "Hey, I know your weaknesses. I know your strength. I know where you need to stay away from. And I need what you can get close to. If you listen, but listen to me. I'm going to get you fixed up because I know where your faults are at." And then he said, "Who can cleanse me from secret fault?" That means hidden hidden flaws that we have. Did you know that in one of the Proverbs, I I think it was um 68 or I don't I don't remember one of the provers we use for deliverance. It talks about how Satan works. It talks about how they cause like an insurrection from within you and they probe and they search hard. They're looking to find where your faults are at. Satan is always Satan has like a net. He's throwing all kinds of garbage at you. Sometimes you laugh at him. You say Satan think he could set me with that. Well, see, Satan doesn't know. He's not God. He doesn't know what your strengths are, what your weaknesses are. So, he's going to throw everything he can at you. See what sticks. And once he finds something that sticks, boy, he's going to work it. And he's going to work it against you. and he's going to manipulate things and he's going to get things going. So basically what he's saying here if I can tune to what God is speaking to what God is saying God knows not only my errors but he knows my weaknesses. You see God can help me in my weaknesses. God can help me in my infirmities. God can help me in the thing that I need help on to overcome. That's what he's saying there. if I am tuned to him. And then he says verse 13, keep back your servant also from presumptuous sins. That applies to many Christians. A lot of time we presume and we think it's faith. We presume that we can do certain things and we think it's faith and it is not. And you see God knows that too. God knows how much faith you have. God really knows whether you have faith for that big car you're going to buy. Whether you're going to be able to make the five years of payments that it takes, whether you're going to have faith for that or not or entering into a relationship. So all of these things are so important because it helps us. He says, and look what it says at the end of verse 13, let them not have dominion over me. That means if I can listen to what God is saying, if I can tune in to the revelation that God is giving me, if I can connect with the Holy Spirit, nothing is going to get a hold of me. Nothing is going to bound me, bind me, nothing is going to have a stronghold over me. Why? Because God is guiding my path. You see, God knows where the snares are that Satan has laid for you. You know how they have those night vision goggles right now? Imagine you walking in darkness through the hills under booby traps. There's all kinds of things. Imagine if all of a sudden now you have one of those pair of bright goggles and then you can walk just like if it was day. Huh? He's got a hole there. He's got a net there and he's got this here. That's what the Holy Spirit does. And then he says, "Then I'm going to be blameless." Oh, this is nice. Then I shall be blameless and I shall be innocent of great transgression. Wouldn't you want to be on that innocent? The Holy Spirit said in that doesn't mean we ever become perfect. We'll never become perfect. What that means is God is going to keep you from hurting yourself beyond what can be fixed. You know that that's one of the things where my kids were growing up teenage years. We have two girls and a boy. And I knew that in order for them to grow and mature, they're going to have to go through the thing we all go through. So rather than, oh Lord, keep him from ever smoking or keep him from ever doing pot or Lord, it was just like, Lord, whatever comes their way, I just pray that you draw a line that they will not cross the line that would hurt them beyond being able to be recuperated. That was my prayer for them. And you know, we saw that that when they would uh be going in a certain direction and when they came to that line, God would somehow speak and say, "Hey, you can't cross that line." And boom, it was like they wake up or something and something would happen. And and that I believe is what God wants from us. He's saying, "Listen to me. You're you're that's why I call it great transgression. We we we're going to make mistakes. That's how we learn. You don't know that that the that the socket uh has electricity on it. You don't know what electricity is until you stick your finger in the socket. And once you do it once, you won't do it no more. I guarantee you kids will learn quick that way. So God is going to allow you to do certain things like that. But you see, he's not going to allow you to lose your finger or to lose your life. That's that's what he's saying over here. Okay. So now that we found out how these things work, um let's go to Proverbs chapter 1 where all of the things about wisdom begins. And we're going to read Proverbs chapter 1:es 1-7. And the reason why I believe the Lord got me to to show you this is so that you can read the book of Proverbs. Proverbs is is a book of wisdom. Okay? And a lot of times to read something to have it make an an impact we have to be motivated or we have to understand you know like uh uh if somebody gives you a book to read if you don't have no motivation for it you can just probably throw it there and not read it. But if you find out that that book will tell you how to win a a free vacation to Hawaii you know and then if you start it really good there's like 99% chance you're going to get the free vacation to Hawaii. Guess what? you're going to read that book, right? That's what I'm trying to do. I'm trying to get you motivated to read because there is speech that is going forth from God. Now, Proverbs 1 through7, the proverbs of Solomon, the son of David, king of Israel, to know wisdom and instruction. To perceive the words of understanding, to receive the instruction of wisdom, justice, judgment, and equity to give prudence to the simple. There is that word simple, to the young men, knowledge and discretion. A wise man will hear and increase learning, and a man of understanding will attain wise cons counsel. To understand a proverb and an enigma, the words of the wise and their riddles. And then he says, "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and instruction." Here he's setting up in those first seven verses, seven being the number of completion, we're given the whole heart of the book of Proverbs. He says God says, I'm going to show you. And the thing is he uses the word simple and he uses the word fool. Both of those words are dealing with people who lack spiritual knowledge, i.e. us. Okay? All of us are carnal or natural. We're born after the flesh. We have no natural spiritual understanding. Whatever spirit we were messing with befo Home Watch the Video Teaching

  • ATONEMENT | House of Faith Ministries (HoFM)

    ATONEMENT Written Teaching Minister Lisa Kane September 4, 2022 Objective The purpose of this teaching is to explain the biblical meaning and power of atonement, revealing how Christ’s sacrifice as High Priest covered sin and established a model for believers to follow. It aims to show that Christians are called to fulfill their own priestly responsibilities—interceding, making spiritual sacrifices, and covering others through compassion and prayer—so that we may walk in authority, love, and reconciliation until Christ returns as King. Synopsis In this message, Lisa Kane explores the deep spiritual truth of atonement through the lens of Proverbs 16:6, Hebrews, Exodus, and other key scriptures. She explains that atonement means “to cover” and traces its Hebrew roots, connecting it to the imagery of oil and pitch—both protective coverings and sources of empowerment. Christ, in His first coming, fulfilled His role as High Priest by atoning for humanity’s sins, and believers are called to imitate Him in priestly duties before entering their royal inheritance with Him at His second coming. Lisa emphasizes that being a priest means interceding for those who are ignorant of sin, offering compassion rather than condemnation, and making spiritual sacrifices such as laying down hatred, gossip, and unforgiveness. She draws parallels to Aaron’s priesthood, the anointing oil, and the process of refinement, showing how God equips believers with both power (fuel) and protection (covering). The message challenges listeners to take responsibility for their households, workplaces, and communities by making atonement through prayer, love, and intercession. By doing so, Christians build eternal rewards on the foundation of Christ and prepare with confidence for His return as King. The teaching closes with a call to embrace our priestly role daily, walking in humility, authority, and the covering of Christ’s sacrifice. Written and/or Transcribed Teaching from Video Hello and welcome to the House of Faith Ministries. I'm Lisa Kane and I'm recording this on Saturday, September 4th, 2022. And this message is called Atonement. Let's open up in a word of prayer. Father God, we bless this message. We thank you for your blessing on it. Let it nourish our spirits and our minds. Let it feed us. Let us receive, believe, apply, and walk in your word, Father God. and let us hear and live this revelation, Father God, in the glorious, wonderful name of Jesus, we pray. Amen. Amen. Amen. Let's go to our opening scripture. Here we are going to be looking at Proverbs. Proverbs 16:6. Now, I want you to see that I have the same scripture here written twice. One from the New King James Version and one from the King James version. So, the New King James Version says it like this. In mercy and truth, atonement is provided for iniquity, and by the fear of the Lord, one departs from evil. And then the King James version says, by mercy and truth, iniquity is purged, and by the fear of the Lord, men depart from evil. All right. So, let's get a basic understanding of atonement here because when you think of that word, it's like, do you really understand what it means? So atonement is is paying for the sins. It it is a covering against the sins. Let's look at the definition of it here in the Strongs dictionary in the Hebrew. It it's number H3722. It's kafar is how you say it or close to that. Don't take my word for that saying. But it's a primitive root and it means to cover. And look at this specifically with bitamin. And we're going to get to bitamin in just a minute. And then of course figuratively to expedate or condone, to plate or cancel, appease, make atonement, cleanse, disinol, forgive, be merciful, pacify, pardon. Look at this word to pitch. We're going to get to that in a moment. And purge, which is what we saw in the King James version, away, put off, and make reconciliation. So now you're kind of getting an understanding here. So, you know, when you look at what Jesus did and he redeemed us, he made atonement for us because he covered us for those who choose to believe in him. And that is how this goes. But now I want you to see and understand something here. Jesus, his first coming came to fulfill the word as a priest. Didn't come as a king, which kind of offput the the Israelites. They did not like that. They were expecting a king. Well, he's going to come back as a king in his second coming, but his first coming was as a priest. He needed to deal with sin and that's exactly what he did. So now, if Jesus Christ did that and yet you read everything in the New Testament kind of tells you to be Christlike, does this mean we have to be a priest before we can be a king or a queen? Well, yeah. And if we're going to rule after the thousand-year millennium or in that time period that Revelation talks about, again, you can go check out those scriptures yourself, then that means we have to fulfill our priestly duties just like Christ did. This is where the the power of atonement comes in. And and you guys are going to get this. This is an awesome revelation. I want you to see this. So let's take a look at the foundation of the scriptures of why we need to be priestly here. 1 Peter 2:5, you also as living stones are being built up a spiritual house, a holy priesthood to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. Okay. So let's define your spiritual house. What is your responsibility? So if you're the one male, female, doesn't matter. There were priestesses and priests, okay? and they were in the Israelites. So this is this is not just designated for male or female. But if you're the one spending time with God and which we all should be doing, but not all does, but if you are doing that, you have a responsibility to those around you, your area. You see, Jesus came back as a priest for the entire world. We don't have to do it for the entire world. We just need to do it for what we're responsible for, which is in my case, it's my household. It is my workplace. Oh, we're gonna get into some very sensitive stuff here because how many of us are not crazy about our bosses. Anyways, so you kind of get this idea of what your responsibility is as a priest now, which means we've got to change something on the inside. So, there's atonement that's going to take place here, and you're going to see how this works and applies. Very powerful. I love this message. This a good message. Hebrews 5, we're going to read verses 1-4. For every high priest taken from among men is appointed for men in things pertaining to God, that he may offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins. Again, this all has to do with sin. We have all fallen short of the glory of God. We have all sinned. And that includes us who need to be priestly, which included Aaron who became priests, who was called by God. And by the way, we're called by God. anyone who's coming into this, God is calling us to be that priestly individual to take up our responsibility for our area. So, let's continue on here. Verse two, he can have compassion on those who are ignorant and going astray. That's the priest. You see, if you're seeing someone living in sin, co-orker, family member, whomever, you have the responsibility to what? have compassion on them because they're ignorant. They don't know they haven't come into the glory of God like we have. So that is a responsibility. Look at this. Since he himself is also subject to weakness, we are subject even priestly. So Aaron had to do it too. Look at let's continue on with the scriptures. Because of this he is required as uh as for the people. so also for himself to offer sacrifices for sins. And no man takes his honor to himself, but he was called by God just as Aaron was. So it's an exact replica of what Aaron was like taking on that priestly responsibility. Now, this is going to get very interesting. So let's continue on. Let's look at some more scripture here. Exodus 29:1A. And again, we're dealing with Aaron and what he's called to do. pieces and this is what you shall do to them to hollow them for ministering to me as priests. Now, I am not going to go into every detail of a priest and what a priest does. We're just going to be talking about atonement today. You are more than welcome to go read those scriptures and learn more of what the priestly duties are. So, I stopped here the first half of verse one there. Now, let's continue on with the next set of scriptures because now we're going to continue where the atonement is in verse 7. Look at this. Hebrew or excuse me, Exodus 29:7. and you shall take the anointing oil, pour it on his head, and anoint him. Okay, now that I've laid some foundational scriptures, I want you to see something. So, what a priest does is he makes atonement for those who are ignorant. But he also declares another priest. Now, let's talk about the anointing oil and what this does because remember what the definition is. And you know what? It's worth going back and looking at that screenshot that that screen of the definition because I think once you see this you it's going to blow your mind away. So a primitive roof to cover specifically with bitamin. Okay. Oil crude oil you know and there is a huge attack on the industry right now about climate change and using dirty oil. By the way if oil works and oil is powerful it works. There are dirty jobs out there. So you know it works. um why, you know, they're against oil is just beyond me. And and of course they think, well, you know, there's not going to be enough fossil fuels to last for a century. Well, and that is in regards to Yeah, but if you read the scriptures, the scriptures tell us that this world's coming to an end. We don't need it to last forever. And so, you have to understand that. Okay. But anyways, crude oil has a process to it. So, you have oil in itself, but it really I mean, it's there. It's crude. That's oil. But if you refine oil, you get two parts. Now there's that number two. Two always means choice or direction. Spiritual meaning you can go the spiritual direction or you can go the physical direction. If you have any dreams that have to deal with the number two or two paths, two bridges to anything. It is always a choice that you have to make and it can be spiritual or physical. That's what the number two means. So oil splits into two parts. Now you have the part where it becomes gasoline. And the more you refine it, by the way, the more powerful gasoline becomes. And what is gasoline? It's fuel for your car. Well, in the spiritual, it's fuel for your power and authority. It goes poof. It is the air. It is the numa. It is your power and authority that goes forth because the anointing oil got poured on you. And what happens when you get refined by God? You go through that pressure. You go through the stress. You sweat it out. You're having a hard time. It's refining and it's doing two things. It's giving you the power and the authority because you're learning mentally, spiritually what the power of God is. But then it makes a second part called the bitamin. The bitamin is the part that is the viscous, the pitch. Kind of like Noah's arc. You had to put the pitch in there. You had to put the pitch in anything. What does pitch do? It's a covering and it makes it waterproof. Oh, this is getting really good. I want you to see now when the enemy tries to attack you, the rain, the the the thunderstorms, the the season of torment, it comes to attack, but it washes right off of you because you got the covering of the anointing oil on you with your power and authority that you can move forward and whatever the enemy does, it just slicks right off of you because you got the viscus over you, the pitch, the tar, whatever it may be. You can't see it in the spirit, but you know it's there because the enemy can't stick his arrows in you. They can't stick. Oh, do you see this? Do you see what the power and the authority you have? And this is as a priest. Oh, this this is very, very, very powerful stuff. I want you to see this. I really want you guys to get this. So, now let's take a look at what this priest does. Leviticus 16:32. And the priest who is anointed and consecrated to minister as priest in his father's place shall make atonement. Put on the linen clothes, the holy garments. Again, you can go read the rest of the scriptures of how, you know, to get here to even preach this message. You know, as a priest, priestess, I come in, I cleanse myself, I take my shower, wash my face, do up my hair, I cling my my table here. I get everything prepared and ready because I need to be clean when I come into the presence of the Lord to teach the word of God to make atonement. I am trying to teach you how to repent and come out of your sins by sharing the word of God. Now look at this in the spiritual sense. Okay? So, if you're responsible for your household and you're responsible for your co-workers and anyone around in your area, whatever you have taken on that responsibility for, if you go out preaching on the street corners, you've got that street corner, that is your responsibility. These are your areas. What you do is you need to make atonement. Well, how do you do that? Okay, so atonement is where you intercede. Now, when a priest would go into, this is prior to Christ's coming, he would go into the Holy of Holies, he would have a string tied around his foot because if he didn't come in right, the Lord took his life instantly and they'd pull his body out. This is how serious this is. So, be very serious. So, you got to have the right heart. So, first you need to humble yourself. So, uh, if you read 1 Corinthians 13 talks about doing everything with love. If you've got a hatred toward anybody that you're responsible for, you need to take care of that. And and you know what? Just simply start saying the words and say, "Lord, I need help. I hate this person, but I want to love them." And then start saying, "I love you. I love you. I love you." And what happens is you get that humility going into your heart and your mind and you start to change on the inside because you're allowing the Holy Spirit to change you. So now when you're facing a situation in work where you question people and their motives and what they're doing, they may have equal uh evil, wicked plots against you. Remember, we don't fight against flesh and blood, but we fight against principalities, powers of the air, and evil evil, wicked plots, okay? We get to fight against that. We don't know it sometimes, but we see things. They're telltale signs. But instead of bringing those telltale signs to service by talking about it, gossiping about it, or what is so and so up to? He's just an idiot. You see, when you start saying things that you're cursing the situation and you're making it worse for yourself. Instead, come into the presence of the Lord in your secret place and make atonement for their ignorance and the sin that they're committing that they don't even know. Because hell is not for everybody. Hell is for the devil. But even if you hate that person and you wish them hell sometimes, you've got to realize that's not for them and it is your responsibility to atone for them. So, but he did you go into the presence of the Lord and you said, "Lord, I'm coming in as my priestly duty and I'm asking you to forgive them of their sins and I forgive them of their sins as well. I know I have the anointing oil on me. I know that I have the power and the authority to say that because I'm called by you and I have my priestly responsibilities to do this. And not only am I called, I know I'm covered by the vitamin process that is there, the viscous. And that means there those enemies that are doing that cannot stick doing what they're doing. And I know Lord and I speak and I ask for divine intervention and I ask that you come in and help them come out of their ignorance. Now do you see the difference here now? Instead of cursing them, you're blessing the situation. And what does that do to you? That comes back to you, me, and it changes the situation. I had done this. I can't remember it was last Monday night or last Tuesday night when I got this revelation and the next day was just an unbelievable day. You know, I can't go into the details because I don't want to name names and all the circumstances and situation, but I can say that I saw God move and I was like, "Wow, Lord." So, this this works. This is a powerful thing. So, let's continue on here. Hebrews uh 9:11. But Christ came as high priest of the good things to come with the greater and more perfect tabernacle not made with hands that is not of this creation. Again, it comes down to what would Jesus do? Jesus did it first. He went to the cross and died on the cross for our sins. Even for those who didn't know him and were continuing to hate and curse him. Even those that are standing there, you know, sounding like dogs going off if you read Psalm. And you you'll see that Christ did it anyways. You see that humility? And this is what a priest does. It It's challenging, but this is something that you need to do. Let's continue on to verse 26 here in Hebrews 29 or Hebrews 9. He then would have had to suffer often since the foundation of the world, but now once at the end of the ages, he has appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself. It's a sacrifice. You're sacrificing your hatred. And notice what Paul is talking about here. He's talking about how many times Jesus had to go to the cross once. He didn't have to go multiple times. Whereas Levitic Aaron and the old days every year had to have the day of atonement. They had to do this for the nation of Israel. Once a year you had to bring in a bull and sacrifice the bull. Well, here now Jesus did it once. He did it and it tore the veil. So now there's no holy of holies where a priest goes into anymore. So now as a spiritual matter and as a Christlike person who spends time with God taking up your priestly responsibilities what do you do you sacrifice your hatred your curses your gossip and you say Lord I'm blessing this and I'm speaking atonement speaking on behalf of them because they're ignorant and they're walking in sin and they don't even know and I'm asking you for divine intervention and I'm telling you the Lord moves and it takes faith. It takes faith but that sacrifice is what gets things started. Now let's look at the verse 27 and 28 of uh Hebrews 9. And as it is appointed for men to die once, but after this the judgment. So Christ was offered once to bear the sins of many to those who eagerly wait for him. He will appear a second time apart from sin for salvation. Now notice he's coming a second time apart from sin. He's coming a second time to be king. So you see the difference here. So right now in this moment because he has not come back a second time. We need to take up our priestly duties and make our sacrifice. Now they did it once a year. The Israelites I say do it every day if you can. You know it we're doing dealing with spiritual matters and the enemy is getting more and more vicious right now. Especially as we're in this end times. Christ is coming back and he's going to be the king which means we will move into our royal duties with him in the heavenly but here for now we have our priestly duties and our priestly responsibilities to those to those ignorant in sin. So what does that mean? Look at first John 2:28. And now little children abide in him that when he appears we may have confidence and not be ashamed before him at his coming. You take up your responsibility. You've got the confidence to say, "I know my Christ, my king is coming. I know that because I'm dealing with spiritual matter in the priestly things right now." Amen. Amen. Look at this. 1 Corinthians 3:11-15. For no other foundation can anyone lay than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ. And keep in mind, all of this is founded on what Jesus has done. This is what Jesus did to deal with the fall of man. Remember, first Adam sinned. Man fell. Now Jesus came and redeemed. If Adam didn't exist, none of this would mean anything. But I'm promising you this. Adam and Eve were real. Read the book of Genesis. You You know what? That will tell you why things happen. why they they got said, you know, the devil was sitting there in the garden of Eden and it tells you about that in Ezekiel and he's watching God and Adam bond and God is interacting with Adam and he's in love with Adam. Th this tells you how much he loves us because it also shows what he did. He sent his son for us because of his love for us. And uh there there they are just bonding and the Lucifer is getting angrier and angrier and more bitter because he's like I'm the one who's made of perfection. You should be spending time with me, not that weak looking creature. And in fact, in his mind's like, you know what, God, you left. I'm going to go deceive these people. And he did. He was successful at that. And so man fell. But God didn't give up on us. And he didn't give us give up on us when the flood happened. and he still let eight survivors uh get through so that we could be here today. I know that you see a an evil world. It is full of darkness and you want to hate. I'm right there with you. But God says, "Listen, take up your priestly duties. Sacrifice your hatred. Sacrifice your gossip. Sacrifice it and let me deal with it spiritually." Oh, let's continue on with 1 Corinthians 53 here, verses 11-15. Verse 12. Now, if anyone builds on this foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw. Each one's work will become clear, for the day will declare it, because it will be revealed by fire. And the fire will test each one's work of what sort it is. If anyone's work which he has built on it endures, he will receive a reward. If anyone's work is burned, he will suffer loss, but he himself will be saved yet. So is through fire. We are building up our royalty in the afterlife. This is why once you die and you've not accepted Christ into your heart, it's too late. You've lost your opportunity. But the moment you ask Jesus Christ into your heart, and it only takes one time when you call upon the Lord, you shall be saved. He that and it says that in Joel and it says that in Romans. You call upon the name of the Lord, you shall be saved. Saved from the circumstance and saved for eternity. Now, some are going to make it and some are just going to barely make it is basically what Paul was saying. But those of us that take up our royal priesthood and we start building our foundation with that gold and the silver, you know, and when that fire, the burning comes through and we we're under that refinement, that burn. What survives the fire, what's left there won't be straw. It won't be hay, but it will be the gold and the silver, the metals, the metals that we're grabbing in the spiritual. Amen. And that is what our eternity will be. And so I beg you, take up your priesthood responsibility. Imagine if everyone had done that. I would imagine that our world would not be in the evil situation it is today. Of course, God is in control and we know that he is returning and that his prophecies have to be fulfilled. So, but here we are now learning this that revelation. But it is awesome because I can still affect my area and until he comes, I'm going to continue to grab his word, take it from the Holy Spirit and apply it to my life and to the responsible areas that I have. And I encourage you to do the same thing. take up your priestly your priestly duties and make your sacrifices unto the Lord and make atonement for those that you're responsible for whether you love them or not. But ask the Lord to show you the love because he loves them. And sometimes we wonder why do you love them, Lord? But he does. But he loves you, too. Let's close in a word of prayer. Father God, we bless this message and we thank you for your blessing on it. We thank you for teaching us about atonement and our priestly responsibilities and duties, Father God. And I pray that we can have the strength to ask you and your Holy Spirit for help in overcoming the hatred and gossip and and to be the better blesser and the one that can make the atonement for those ignorant and walking in sin and they don't even realize it. We thank you for your revelation. We thank you for giving us that strength. And in the name of Jesus, we bless this message and we bless you. Amen. Amen. Amen. God bless you. I just couple quick announcements. Obviously, we were on vacation, so I skipped a twoe period in teaching. Now, last week, we were supposed to put up a message from the youth message, and my fault. I didn't charge the battery before going, and um I don't know how much of the message I got. So, we're not going to put that message up, but uh I will be teaching again in two weeks. And then at the end of September, we'll have another youth message and we will get that posted up because I promise you, I will charge those batteries and have it ready to go. God bless you and have a wonderful time and spend time with the Lord. Amen. Home Watch the Video Teaching
