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 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 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

The objective of this teaching is to help believers understand that the Christian battle is not against people but against spiritual forces and internal struggles that oppose God’s will. By examining Paul’s exhortation to put on the whole armor of God, this lesson emphasizes the difference between walking in the flesh and walking in the Spirit. It aims to equip Christians with a deeper awareness of principalities, powers, and spiritual wickedness, and to encourage believers to stand firm in Christ, knowing that through Him we have the authority to overcome the enemy and claim God’s promises of restoration and victory.

THE LIVING WORD PART 2 Written Teaching Pastor Marcos Marrero August 12, 2007 Objective Equip believers at Signal Hill Christian Center to trust and apply God’s “exceedingly great and precious promises” (2 Peter 1:3–4) by: understanding salvation and new life in the Spirit, practicing faith-filled speech and prayer, cultivating patience and surrender through seasons of testing, and embracing humble, servant-hearted discipleship that invites God’s light to heal hidden places. Synopsis The message opens with 2 Peter 1:3–4: through Christ, God has already provided everything for life and godliness, delivered as promises that make us “partakers of the divine nature.” The teacher explains salvation as union with Christ: at repentance we “die” to sin’s judgment and rise into new life; all of Christ’s provisions reside within our reborn spirit in seed form and must mature over time. Because growth requires knowledge and practice, Scripture and spiritual principles become essential (Hos 4:6; Prov). The enemy’s core tactic is always, “Did God really say?” so believers must answer with God’s Word. Using Israel’s wilderness as a pattern, the message shows how God trains His people to rely on His Word above circumstances. Romans 8:32 assures that if the Father gave His Son, He will “freely give us all things.” A central motif is the seed: promises germinate in a prepared heart, watered by the Word, and develop in God’s timing/season. Hebrews 4:12 is unpacked as the Word’s life-giving energy that surgically separates and heals soul and spirit—like Spirit-led “radiation” that targets spiritual disease without destroying what is healthy. John 1:1–5 adds that the Word is both life and light; believers must invite that light—by their words—into dark, wounded places (Rev 3:20; Prov 20:27), overcoming guilt and shame so healing can flow. The message models warfare through prayerful speech: David “gave himself to prayer” under accusation (Ps 109) and cried out until his soul was released from prison (Ps 142). Jesus interceded for Peter before the sifting and still intercedes for us as High Priest. We overcome “by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of our testimony” (Rev 12:11). Like Caleb, a “different spirit” (faith-filled words) chooses God’s report over fear. Practical response includes three covenant prayers grounded in Scripture: Covenant of Salvation (Rom 10:9–10) — confessing Jesus as Lord and believing in His resurrection. Covenant of Surrender (2 Tim 2:19–21) — turning from wickedness so Christ is Lord over every area, becoming a vessel useful to the Master. Servant’s Covenant (John 12:26; Ps 143:10) — embracing humble service in God’s will rather than self-directed ministry. The message closes by blessing the congregation and leadership, asking for renewed strength, a fresh wind of the Spirit, and a local revival of the Word that releases healing, holiness, and fruitful ministry to the community. Written and/or Transcribed Teaching from Video problems from Jesus directly. So Lord Jesus, we ask again that uh what you have for us tonight, what you have for this house, for Sigma Hill Christian Center, what you have for the individuals, Father God, that make your church here in this area, that the Holy Spirit will go directly to you, Lord Jesus, and bring to us what we need tonight. We submit ourselves, Father God. I submit myself to you, Father God, to be now a voice, Father God, for the Holy Spirit to speak what you would want your church to hear. I just pray that you will grant us ears to hear, that you would give us a heart to understand, Father God, and the ability to apply what the Holy Spirit speaks to us tonight. In Jesus name, we agree. Father, we say, "Amen." Amen. Praise God. Hallelujah. You can tell I got a little bit too excited this morning. And My voice is kind of wanting. Praise God. That's always good. Anyway, um I'm going to start with the scripture. Second Peter chapter 1:es 3 and 4 is what we finish with this morning. And then uh we read there that according or as his divine power, God through Jesus has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness through the knowledge of him who called us by glory and virtue. Then he tells us what that knowledge brings about. es by which this knowledge have been given to us exceedingly great and precious promises that through these promises the knowledge or the understanding of these promises that through this you may be partakers of the divine nature having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust. So basically by putting things into context we believe that God has already given to us and and I don't want to get too theological but you know uh I think it's 2 Thessalonians 5 says that your whole spirit your whole soul and your whole body may be kept blameless until the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ. But our spirit is what is born again. The minute that we confess that we're sinners. See, the word of God says that the soul that sinnth it shall surely die. So in June 2nd, 1976, without me knowing or understanding all of these things, when I walked up to the altar with my wife and then um I repented of my sins, basically God declared me dead right then and there. I have to die. See, you cannot go to the court of God and say that you're a sinner and live because God's word cannot be revoked. God's word said the soul that sinned to surely die. So when I confess my sin and admitted that I was s a sinner immediately the judgment of God was brought upon me. I was declared God the judgment of God said he's dead. The reason why I didn't die there is because Jesus, you see, Jesus provided my death in the cross. He satisfied the divine uh uh uh requirements of God. Jesus is my substitute. I think Paul writes in Corinthians when he says that he who knew no sin became sin for us that we might become the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus. In other words, when I went forward and and and my wife went forward, we died. As far as God is concerned, we die. The life that now I now live, like Paul says, I live by the power of the risen son of God. In other words, God in in my spirit gave me life. He took Jesus's all of my sins that have been placed in on Jesus on the cross. He took his death on the cross as full payment for my sins. And immediately God, that's why it says that we're baptized by one spirit into one body. Baptized means to be put under. Uh it's like taking a drop of water and dropping it on the Pacific Ocean. As soon as that drop goes into the ocean, you can't tell where it's at. It becomes part of the whole ocean. My spirit was baptized into the Holy Spirit. And when that happens immediately, your spirit is alive to God. All of the promises of God are now in me in my spirit in seed form. You see, because uh we need to understand that even though salvation is immediate and and and um uh and your names are immediately written in heaven and there's rejoicing in heaven, the minute that a sinner repents, the manifestation of that salvation in us and through us takes a while. You know, one of the odd things because when I I was saved, I was radically transformed. I I mean, I I use this analogy a lot. It was just like somehow God just took the half of my skull up and he reached in there, took my brain and turn it around and put it back in and then put my skull back. It was like, "Oh, wow. Now things, you know, I begin to understand and see things uh uh from a different perspective. That's what what salvation was to me. It was like I was turned around completely, but everything that was in there was in seed form. I went home and I look in the mirror and I look the same. How that's the same me but I don't feel like me anymore. You see there was a transformation. It it it is called born again. Means your spirit all of a sudden now becomes alive. Your spirit now becomes uh uh into the things of God. It was a hunger for anything that had to do with the word of God because it had been starved all these years separated from God. Now, we need to understand that all of that, all of these great and praiseful promises over here that we were just reading, we have to apply knowledge to it. How do you know that God just doesn't all of a sudden uh uh uh gives you all of the wisdom and all of the understanding and and all of the things? One of the things you find out when you get born again that you still make the same stupid mistakes sometimes over and over again. Except this time now you have a spiritual understanding. This time now you're aware. This time now you say, you know what, this is not working for me. You know, when you're in the world, it didn't matter. This is your life. That's what you went with. But now that you're born again, you have a different perspective, a different understanding of what sin is or what sin does of of of of decisions and stuff like that. So then knowledge becomes something that is very much needed. Like I quoted this morning in Hosea, I think it's 6:4, he says that my people perish for lack of knowledge. And I think it was Proverbs um maybe 9:11, the last part. I don't remember for sure but it says that uh it is through knowledge the last part of the verse that the righteous or the just is delivered. So we need to understand there is a requirement now for us not only to study the word but to begin to put what the Bible calls spiritual principles to work. And the reason why I I I um harp so much this morning in the principle of the power of words is because that is the foundation. You see the foundation is everything that is going to be challenging you like uh uh the very first words of Satan Quarter on the Bible. Did God really say? Every challenge that you're going to have whether is sicknesses, whether it's family problems, whether it's business or work related, whatever challenge you have in your life has one root cause and that is Satan challenging the veracity of the word of God or of the promises of God to you. You see, it's going to come to this to where you're going to be faced and having to make a decision. Did God really say? Because that's what Satan is challenging. He's not, you know, God is a God of the person. That's why I love him so much. God can be so awesome and so great. But God is into people. God never invest in big buildings or big program. God, everything that God does has an individual at the center of it. Which is the reason why so many churches fail today. They can build great things, but the individual's needs are not met. God is into people. If you can come face to face to God, you will find out that God is into people. One person to God is a lot more important than a million. There can be a thousand people here tonight and there be one person there with a great need. And God's eyes focus on that person. He said, "That's the sheep that's lost. That's the one that I need to get. That's the one that and that's what God is." But Satan is not like that. Satan is like communism. Everything is is for the the system his system of of destruction. So he will always come to you to the point of of your knee and challenge the veracity of the word of God or of the promises of God in your life. Guess what? And God for the purpose of training us in in in the ways of faith because without faith it is impossible to please God. We are going to be faced with challenges that we're not going to pass until we cross that line and we make the decision and dare to believe what God says in spite of all of the circumstances. Abraham had to do that. Moses had to do that. Every person of faith that you read about in the Bible had to do that. As a matter of fact, in Hebrews 11 talks about some of them never received the promises while they were here. The Bible said they were not the world was not good enough for them. So we need to understand that that is going to be the challenge. Uh God brought the Israelites out of Egypt, Home Watch the Video Teaching

MY FATHER, YOUR FATHER Written Teaching Minister Lisa Kane April 11, 2024 Objective To reveal the profound truth that through Jesus Christ’s death, resurrection, and ascension, believers are given direct relationship with God as their Father. The message aims to encourage understanding of Jesus’ role as mediator, the unity of the Trinity, the believer’s identity as children of God, and the importance of forgiveness, faith, and walking in the anointing of the Holy Spirit. Synopsis Lisa Kane delivers the teaching “My Father, Your Father” from John 20:17, highlighting Jesus’ first post-resurrection encounter with Mary Magdalene. In this pivotal moment, Jesus declares that He ascends to “My Father and your Father, My God and your God,” signifying the believer’s adoption into God’s family through His victory over death. Lisa explains the power of this revelation: Jesus, fully man and fully God, became the first resurrected body and opened the way for humanity to experience God as Father personally. The message explores how Jesus’ three days in the heart of the earth fulfilled prophecy, how He led the faithful of old from paradise into heaven, and how His resurrection shook history itself. Drawing from Paul’s words in Ephesians 4, Lisa teaches on the gifts Christ gave the church—apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, and teachers—designed to edify and unify the body of Christ. She emphasizes that true ministry must be rooted in forgiveness, love, and the power of the Holy Spirit. Finally, Lisa challenges listeners to recognize their calling, walk in unity, and extend forgiveness rather than judgment, for Christ Himself came not to condemn but to save. The message closes with an exhortation to pray for the church, leaders, and the world, living in the reality that Jesus’ Father is now our Father, and His God is now our God. Written and/or Transcribed Teaching from Video Hello and welcome to the House of Faith Ministries. I'm Lisa Kaine. I'm recording this on Thursday, April 11th, 2024. Welcome. This message is called My Father, Your Father. Let's open up in a word of prayer. Father God, we thank you for your word. We thank you that your word does not return void. We thank you that the audience listening to this message have ears to hear and eyes to see, hearts and minds to receive and believe the living word of God and to apply this living word of God to their lives. That they walk in your anointing. They walk in your wisdom, knowledge, understanding, and they understand who the father is through this message. Father God, thank you Lord and thank you Jesus for showing us your word. In the name of Jesus, we pray. Amen. Amen. Let's go to our opening scriptures. This is called my father, your father. We're going to start here in John 20:17. Jesus saith unto her, this is Mary Magdalene that he's talking to, touch me not, for I am not yet ascended. Or go up to my father, and that word father is means parent, but go to my brethren and say unto them, I ascend unto my father and your father and to my God and your God. And that word god there is deity. Wow. Okay. So let's put this into perspective. You have the the day that Jesus rose from the grave. So he is crucified and he's dead for three days. So the day he's going to raise from the dead, Mary Magdalene is there before the sun rises and she sees the stone is rolled away. So she runs off to tell Peter and John. They run back. They take a look and they leave. She's still there. Well, she looks in and she sees two men in white and she says, "Where is he?" And then when she looks behind her, there's someone that she thinks is the gardener. And he says, "You know, what are you doing, Mary? Why are you here?" And she's like, "Uh, I just tell me where he is so I can take his body. I will take that." And he says, "Mary?" And she realizes he is Raboni, teacher Jesus. And uh he says, you know, touch me not because I have not ascended yet. I I you got to see this. This is so incredible. He Okay. When Jesus came out of the graves, he came out all powerful. He came back to life. You go read Matthew, you will find that all these graves opened up. And on his way to see his father, he takes a stop. I got to go see Mary. I got to let her know everything's okay. I'm alive. And he tells her. Then he tells her to go tell the brethren, his disciples, and the followers, I'm alive. I will come see you shortly. I have to go to the father first. So he made a stop before he did anything else in his miraculous rising out of the grave. He did this. Stop. And he says to Mary, "Look, I ascend into my father and your father and to my God and your God." What Jesus did is he grabbed hold of Mary's uh Mary's hand and he's saying to every believer out there, "Hold hands with me because you're going to see my father who is now your father. My God who is now your God." Oh, hallelujah. I hope that you guys are getting this because it was so important that he decided to stop his ascension just to tell a woman and to tell a woman first. By the way, he chastises his disciples later for not believing. They didn't believe a woman, you know, and Jesus, this is why he went to a woman first. Anyways, I'll leave that in your mind as you think that through. But let's go to Ephesians 4:6-10. One God and Father of all, who is above all and through all and in you all. Let's pause. So Jesus is saying, listen, I came to do what my father told me to do. He told me to lay down my life for you and that I would pick it up again. And he did such a thing. Then he's telling Paul is to Paul is telling you straight up look at we've got one God one father of all who is above all through all and in you all. So Jesus you know it is challenging to understand the trinity that there is God the father God the son and God the holy spirit. Three functions of a deity. And here is the most fascinating part. I hope you grab this. God is the father. He never came down to the earth. He Well, he may have came down there. I back up and and recre and correct myself that he's probably come down. But he didn't come down into his creation to die for his creation. He sent his son to do it. So now Jesus when he rose from the grave, he rose from the grave as a man with a new body. The first resurrected person with a first body. And he goes up to God in heaven as a man. He doesn't return back as a spirit. He returns back as a man who has been crucified, who died and rose from the grave. Now, God the Father can look in on us at any time. 200 years ago, 500 years in the future, if the Lord carries that long, he can do this because he's still spirit. He's outside of the creation. Jesus, who is the one who said, "Let there be light." He actually entered into his creation to fulfill the requirements of God the father which was he needed someone with no sin to die for others who have sin and every single one of us have fallen short of the glory of God. We were born into sin at the time of conception actually we are we become a sinner immediately. This is how this works. Well, in order to be saved, we needed a savior. And that is what Jesus did. So now Paul is teaching us that listen, God is Jesus saying, "Listen, here's my God." Because God is God to Jesus as well because he's a man. He's saying he's your God too and he's in you. And so Paul is reiterating it here. One God and father of all who is above all and through all and in you all. But every one of us is given grace according to measure of the gift of Christ. Wherefore he say when he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive and gave gifts unto men. This is the function of what Jesus did because he ascended. He had to go there. We know because he told his disciples, I go to prepare a place for you. and he's there with his father preparing a place for you. In the meanwhile, he left us his comforter, but he was around for 40 days and and showed himself off to more than 500 people. This is how God worked. This is how Jesus worked in all this time and how they functioned together. So today, you and I have this. Now Paul's going to make an interesting point here. Let's go to verse 9. Now that he ascended, what is it but that he also descended? first into the lower parts of the earth. He that descendeth is the same also that ascendeth up far above all heavens that he might fill all things. So the question then to ask is where did Jesus go for those three days cuz he didn't ascend up right away. He descended first. You see, every person who died before Jesus went to a place called paradise because the first fruit to enter heaven would have to be the perfect man. And nobody was perfect. So they would go to paradise if they believed in God and followed the ten commandments, the law. They met the law. They they repented before God and they had a relationship with the Lord. You can just see Old Testament believers and how they believed. You can go follow David. He's a perfect example of this. So others, they went straight to hell. But Jesus went straight into paradise and took these people out. And when you go read Matthew and all these graves, so let's say Aunt Martha passed away a week ago. You just had her funeral. You're sitting there in your kitchen having a bowl of something and come knocking on the door. Is Aunt Martha, I got to tell you about this guy named Jesus. He came down, he grabbed us, and he took us up out of the grave. And you're just standing there. I could just picture knees knocking, people fainting. This had to be such an extraordinary event that it has changed time altogether. The calendar change was made on his death. This is incredible. His birth and his death. This is such an impactful event. That is good news that we find out that there was a man who was perfect enough to redeem us and save us. This is the father. He he gives the glory to the father because all he's doing is obeying the father and the father says I'm well pleased with my son. Listen to him. So now we get to partner with him and be a partaker of whatever Jesus has. He says I forgive you. Come with me. You get to partake and share in this. Oh, how powerful it is. Let's go look at Matthew 12:39 and 40 to talk about those three days where Jesus was. But he answered and said unto them, "An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign, and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas. For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whales, or a huge fish belly, so shall the Son of Man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth. So Jesus went three nights, three days into the heart of the earth. That's where he was. And so when you have a generation asking for a sign, well, how do we know Jesus was real? Well, when you go look at the testimonies that came out of the moment he rose from the grave, the stone is rolled away. They tried to deceive the people. But because so many dead people came out of the graves, these uh historians recorded these things. Josephus and others, they had recorded it and said, "This is what happened." And he packed it everywhere. And Jesus is saying to Martha or excuse me, to Mary, he's telling her, "Listen, this is my God. Now your God." And this is absolutely extraordinary that we get to partake in what Jesus has given for what he did. Cuz I couldn't do it. No, but he did. Oh, hallelujah. Hallelujah. John 8:15-16. Ye judge after the flesh. I judge no man. And yet if I judge, my judgment is true. For I am not alone, but I and the father that sent me. That word judge is to distinguish, decide, and condemn. Now, I want you to see something here. Jesus is saying, "I'm not here to condemn the world. I'm not here to judge you. I'm here to forgive you if you want to be forgiven." That's the simplicity as as simple as you can get for the gospel of Jesus. It is the good news that he came born of a virgin. He went to the cross of his own free will, was crucified, spent three days in paradise, and is shot up out of the grave, and said to the world, "I'm alive, and I'm coming back a second time. Do you believe?" This is the anointing of our Messiah, Christ, that he says, "Your God, my God, my father, your father." and he partakes with us in this. This is so powerful. I hope that you are seeing this and understanding he's not here to judge, which if you're going to partner with him, which means you don't judge either. You forgive cuz Jesus is all about forgiveness. That is the generation we are in right now. This is the time frame we are in now. We forgive. And I'm going tell you right now, not many people can. They struggle with it so much so that they end up get cancer, sicknesses, diseases, die early. Your life should be long and a blessing because you believe. But do you believe enough to forgive and to let go so that your father can forgive you? Oh, I hope that you do. Let's continue on. John 8:29 and 30. And he that sent me is with me. The Father hath not left me alone. For I do always those things that please him, agreeable to him. As he spake these words, many believed or had faith on him. I want you to understand the moment that you believe and you grasp the heavenly father into your heart, Jesus into your heart, and you're forgiven, you are in the agreeable phase to please Jesus. The word agreeable there is to please God. Excuse me. So, you're pleasing God because you're doing the things. You're on the right path. The moment you align yourself with with Jesus, you partner together. He forgives you. You two hold hands. Guess what? The anointing you you walk into this relationship. You are pleasing God. And because you're pleasing God, because it takes faith to believe in Jesus, faith without works is dead. So, you're taking that faith, you're acting on it. Jesus, God is saying, "I am well pleased with you." This is how you move in the anointing of the Holy Spirit, and it's because you have faith. It is because you believe you're glorifying him. And it is so exciting to be able to realize that there is a person who shook the entire world when his blood hit the ground, caused an earthquake, an eclipse, the sun goes dark when he dies. But three days later, he comes out of the grave. And so the sign that everybody's looking for, he says, "I'm going to give you the sign of Jonah." Because Jonah didn't do what God asked him to do. Jonah ran. And so G uh God had to catch Jonah. So he caught him with a big fish. And when that fish swallowed him, several things happened to his body. His body, the acids were breaking down his body, his skin. He turned white washed. Um and he, you know, when he came back out, he was still alive and might not have been able to see, but he looked like a ghost to the people. So when he told Nineveh, "You need to be saved." Guess what? Nineveh repented because they thought there was a ghost telling them who who to believe in. They repented. And that's exactly the sign that he's giving to unbelievers today. Listen, the only sign you're going to get is that you saw Jonah go down and get swallowed by a great fish. And because we know of a person who got swallowed by a great fish back in um late 1800s, early 1900s, he was blind the rest of his life, but he came out and he survived it. But because of what it did to his skin and how he came out of it, this is why people believed. He survived. So when you are sharing the gospel, if you are to anyone, the good news is that Jesus pardon your sins. It's free. You get to be saved. They have the sign of Jonah. Jonah ran. Jesus didn't. Jesus was obedient. But then Jonah came and he did it angry, but he still pleased God because he still ended up doing it. There's like a two-tonone message in there, if you will. Amen. I hope you're grasping. This is an awesome message. John 14:6, Jesus sayeth the name, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No man cometh unto the father but by me. So here, you can't get to God. You can't please God until you come through Jesus. You cannot come through Allah. You cannot come through any other means. You can't even go like the Philippines for resurrection day. This one guy they interviewed, he had been crucified 30 times all because of what his he believes that Jesus did. But unless he believes in Jesus, all that act is for nothing. Means nothing. Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life. No man comes to the father except through him. Now, when you become a believer, what is it that you're going to want to do? You're going to want to please him. How do you please God? How are you in agreeable with God? What is it that God has called us to do? There are several ministries that we're called to do. Let's take a look at a few of them. Ephesians 4:11-16. And he gave some apostles and some prophets and some evangelists and some pastors and teachers for the perfecting of the saints for the work of the ministry for the edifying of the body of Christ. Now we are the body of Christ. We are part of the kingdom of God. Our hands should be laying on people and they should be healed. We should be casting out devils. We should be praying for our nation. We should be marching forward, praying for the finances of the world. We should be praying for our economy. We should be praying for Hollywood. We should be praying for all of these things. These ministries is what pushes us forward. Let's let's dive into this. I want to look at this a little bit more. They're apostles. Apostles, a delegate or an ambassador. Apostles typically will ratify a city and place a new church in that city and they will bring in a pastor for that church, but they won't stay. They travel. Look at what Paul did. Paul is an apostle of God. He traveled. He didn't stay at the church, but he established it. He also did signs and wonders because he prayed and cast out demons just like Jesus did. And what do we do? We partner with Jesus because my father is your father. My God is your God. And so we partner with him. Now ne not everybody's called to be an evangelist. However, we have I mean apostles, we have prophets, foretellers. Now prophecy is an interesting topic. It's a hot topic now um across many people. Here's the first important thing we need to remember about prophecy. All prophecy in the Bible has been written and established. So, for example, if you're prophesying that the end is coming, well, that's a true prophecy because the end is coming according to the Bible. We know that the signs around the end have not been fulfilled yet. That's a prophecy that hasn't been fulfilled. But if you're prophesying something to the effect like President Trump will win the election or something like that, I find it nowhere in the Bible that says President Trump will win the election. Even if you use Cyrus as an example and you call him Cyrus or whatever, it still doesn't say he wins an election. You see, when a prophet comes out and says something that is not biblical and not found in the word of God or it fits in the word of God, then you have to question that prophet or you need to pray for them. Don't judge them. Don't condemn them. Condemn them because that's what g Jesus doesn't do that. But he prays for them and this is where we need to be praying. But prophets are still part of ministry today. They just have to realize that the word has to come out of the Bible. We can see if you pro uh like for instance Damascus, the city of Damascus is going to be wiped off the face of the earth. You can prophesy that because it's a prophecy in the Bible that just hasn't been fulfilled yet. But you can call on it. These this is coming. Uh when Jesus says, "Heaven and earth will pass away, but my word will not." It's coming. It's a prophecy that hasn't happened yet. You can prophesy. And the end is coming. We know it is. So if you're trying to do the green earth and save this earth as a lot of the leaders of the world are trying to do, I promise you that's against the Bible. This world is going to fall apart no matter what you do to it because it was prophesied that. But there's the office of prophecy. There's the office of evangelists. Evangelists are preachers of the gospel. They're going to teach the good news. They travel and they teach the good news. They're on the street corners. They're out there doing all that kind of teaching to bring people to the good news, to the redemption of what Jesus did and telling the world, "Hey, this is free. Look, you got this. It's yours. You just got to believe. Take a leap of faith." And you got all these people with all the false doctrines and the the ideologies that are in their heads that they don't understand something. Sometimes we have to just purge that out of our brains and just simply believe Jesus rose from the grave and pulled people out of the grave with him. This is all witness testimony at that time. I believe I hope that you do. If you don't want to believe that's between you and God work it out with him. He says come let us reason together in Isaiah. Then you have um pastors. Pastors are shepherds. They are going to lead their church in the direction of the Bible of what Jesus did. So they they're going to be the shepherd. They're going to be there at the hospital with you when you're suffering. They're going to come into your home and minister to you because that's what pastors do. It is very personal of a relationship between the pastor and the congregation. He will be there if you need him. That is what a pastor does. And then you have teachers or instructors. says something I do. I'm called to teach and preach the living word of God. And this is what I do. I break down the scriptures based on what the Holy Spirit reveals to me. And I teach it. Whether you hear it or not, I'm doing my part. This is the calling of Christ. And look what it does. It's for the perfecting which is a complete furnishing of the saints for the work of the ministry attendance service for the edifying or the architecture structure confirmation of the body of Christ. This is how we lay the body of Christ and the foundation. This is how it operates in whole. This is where we need to go because he's establishing the the five-fold ministry here. He's establishing there are gifts. There are other uh things that the um the Holy Spirit grants for the church. You have the gifts of speaking in tongues, interpreting tongues, prophesying and uh you have the gifts of um healing, administrative help. These all these gifts exist. There are different gifts. Sometimes just being at the door greeting someone, how are you? I love you. Welcome to the church. These are ministries of the church. They're all to edify the architecture of the body of Christ. So that we're walking on the foundation of what? The name of Jesus in which we are partnered with. And that his father is our father. His God is our God. Hallelujah. Look at verse 13. Till we all come in the unity oneness of the faith. Till we all get together in oneness. We're not there yet. That's been prophesied. That's a prophecy that we will unify. But we're not in unity right now. In fact, you can go back all the way to the days of the early church. Barnabas and Paul argued whether to take John Mark with him uh or not. Paul said, "Don't take him." Barnabas is like, "I strongly believe we need to take him." They had a falling out. Barnabas and John Mark went one way. Silas and Paul went the other way. They separated because of that. Just little things, little arguments like that will cause this division. It started in the early church. So, we're not in unity yet. But when we will be because we will be because we're going to finally grasp that we follow the anointing of the Holy Spirit that we walk in the living word of God and the word is being revealed to us because knowledge is growing greater today. And we will be in unity as Paul is prophesying here till we all come in the unity of the faith which is that persuasion credence and of the knowledge look at this recognition or full discernment of the son of God which is what I was just saying unto a perfect man unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ. So that body of Christ is going to meet that measure. We just haven't got there yet. We need to come in unity. What did Jesus do? He forgave. What do we like to do? Well, we're going to excommunicate or bye. We don't believe in the same thing. Get out of here. The the early church, the Catholic Church back in the 1300s, I'm reading Fox's book of martyrs, they got into an argument. I guess John Whitecliffe came out and says the Eucharist doesn't turn into the flesh of Jesus. It's still bread when you take it. where the Catholic Church was saying no it turns into the body of Christ and the wine turns into the blood of Jesus and you partake and you are taking the physical body of Christ and the physical blood you are drinking it literally and John Whitecliffe says no it's symbol but they disagreed so much that the Catholic Church was crucifying people or killing people for what they believed in and not letting the word of God persevere but for people like this and people John Whitecliffe and others who took the stand finally broke had to get the church out. This is why we have so many denominations today as a matter of fact because of revelation of the word coming to someone and it gets picked up and people believe. But at that time they actually killed people just over whether the eukarist was the actual flesh or not. It's amazing how a little thing like that can be caught up when you're trying to work the Holy Spirit. This is why you see churches fall apart and and partners suddenly hate each other because there's no agreement. There's no forgiveness. There's no letting go. There's no humbling. Whether you believe in your leader or not, if he's your pastor, you need to humble yourself. But go and make sure it's for the Lord and that he stands for the Lord if it's scriptural and you need to pray about it. You don't take the action. You let the Holy Spirit do his part. Amen. Oh, hallelujah. Verse 14. That we henceforth be no more children tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine by the slate. It's like a dice a cube dice of men and cunning craftiness whereby they lie and wait to deceive. That's the thing. So little things like this to step in. Uh there was another Peter that stepped into the Catholic Church and caused a lot of things like that Eucharist being thought of as the physical blood. But as the revelation got more revealed to people, they stood their ground and were martyed for it. That's the history that we have behind us. And look at us today. A lot of people, especially in third world countries, don't have the freedom to speak the gospel. Here in America, I I have the freedom to do it, but the doors are closing more and more because of offense. And that's what happens here. But this is why we need to pray and forgive and let the Holy Spirit do his job. I'm not here to do the Holy Spirit's job. All I'm called to do is teach and preach the word of God. Interpret it and put value into it and share it with you. What is your calling in your life? Let's continue on now in verse 15. But speaking the truth in love. Now if you go to 1 Corinthians 13, the chapter of love. First thing it says, if you talk uh of tongues of men and of angels but have no love, you sound like a clanging symbol. So he's bringing love back into the ministry. but speaking the truth and love. See, when you're upset with someone and you guys are arguing and you're gonna separate, sometimes you just need to love them and say, "I love you and we'll walk away from this and let it go. Let's just continue on and we'll move on to other areas and we'll leave this part. Let's just pray about it. Let it go. Let the Holy Spirit deal with it." That would be effective and that would bring more unity to the church. Something we lack. I, you know, we have a lot of um good teachers out there, good preachers, good evangelists out there who are talking about our government, talking about this that I've not heard one of them say, "Well, let's forgive him and pray for him." I haven't heard that yet, but that's what Jesus would preach and do if Jesus was talking today. Uh but speaking the truth in love, affection, benevolence, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ, from whom the whole body fitly joined together and united. That's what the word compacted there means. By that which every joint supply according to the effectual or efficiently working in the me measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto what? The edifying of itself in love, the construction of the body in love. This is where we're called to do what we're called to do as the body of Christ and as a living organism, as part of the kingdom of God, as part of the church. This is what I'm praying for. I'm praying for the kingdom of God, the body of Christ, the church. One, I forgive us. I have to forgive us because we all mess up. If you go read the seven letters to the seven churches in Revelation, you will find uh six out of the seven letters, Jesus says, "But I still have this against you." We We're not perfect. We're not God. What we do is we partner with Jesus, try to be Christlike. And that takes forgiveness. That takes having grace. That takes backing off from an argument even if you're right. Oh, I hope you guys are grasping this. You see, Jesus says, "I take you to my father who is your father, to my God who is your God." And he, remember, the father gave Jesus all authority to judge the earth. And Jesus says, "Well, I don't judge. I'm going to forgive." Thank you, Jesus. Hallelujah. Oh, I hope you guys are grabbing this and that you walk in forgiveness. That you are praying for your pastors, your leaders, the leadership around the world, for our government, the leaders of the church. We need to be praying for the body of Christ. And I hope that is something that you guys are doing. And I encourage you to do it. Let's close in a word of prayer. Father God, we thank you for your word. We thank you for the anointing of your word. I pray that this word edifies one another and gets placed in our hearts that we have mercy and grace to pray forgiveness into the church into the body of Christ into the kingdom of God. And we are marching in the kingdom of God under the guidance of your Holy Spirit, the living word of God through your revelation, Father God. In the name of Jesus, we pray. Amen. Amen. Amen. God bless you. I'll see you in the next message. Bye-bye. Home Watch the Video Teaching
