The message seeks to help believers recognize false idols, false teachers, and deceptive ideologies by grounding themselves in Scripture. It emphasizes the importance of knowing God personally through His Word, so that believers are not deceived but remain steadfast in faith, transformed in heart and mind, and ready to witness His power and truth revealed in all generations. THERE IS ONLY ONE GOD AND YOU WILL KNOW Minister Lisa Kane September 4, 2024 Objective: The objective of this message is to affirm and teach the biblical truth that there is only one true God, revealed as Creator, Redeemer, and King. The message seeks to help believers recognize false idols, false teachers, and deceptive ideologies by grounding themselves in Scripture. It emphasizes the importance of knowing God personally through His Word, so that believers are not deceived but remain steadfast in faith, transformed in heart and mind, and ready to witness His power and truth revealed in all generations. Synopsis: In “There is Only One God and You Will Know”, Lisa Kane teaches from Isaiah 44 and supporting scriptures to highlight God’s declaration of His uniqueness and supremacy. Through a personal dream of idols collapsing, Lisa illustrates how false gods—whether physical idols or modern ideologies—are powerless and destined to fall. She stresses that transformation begins when we truly know who God is, as all Scripture is designed to reveal Him and confirm His sovereignty. The message warns against false prophets and counterfeit teachings, reminding believers to test everything against the Bible. By understanding God’s Word, Christians can discern truth from deception and avoid the traps of modern false ideologies. Lisa points to prophecies in Isaiah, Ezekiel, Jeremiah, and Revelation, showing how God continually declares that all people will ultimately know He is Lord. She also connects these prophecies to Christ as Redeemer and King, explaining how Jesus fulfills God’s promise to save, deliver, and reveal Himself to all flesh. Throughout, the teaching emphasizes the believer’s responsibility to study Scripture, walk in faith, and guard against deception. Lisa concludes with a call to transformation, urging believers to confess Christ, grow in relationship with Him, and stand firmly on the truth that there is only one God. The message closes in prayer, thanking God for His Word, His protection from false teaching, and His revelation of Himself as the only true and living God. Inspired Teaching - Written and/or Transcribed from Video Above: Hello and welcome to the House of Faith Ministries. I'm Lisa Kaine and I'm recording this on Wednesday, September 4th, 2024. Welcome. Let's open up in a word of prayer. Father God, we thank you for your word and we bless your word. We pray that your word does not return void. We also pray and ask that you prepare the listeners to hear your word and move me aside so that your holy spirit speaks directly to their spirit and not through Lisa, not of Lisa, but through your holy spirit. Let your voice be heard and thank you Lord for you are amazing, glorious, faithful, true and honorable. You are worthy, just full of loving kindness, mercy and grace. Thank you in the name of Jesus we pray. Amen. Amen. Amen. So this message is called There is only one God and you will know. So let's go to our opening scripture here in Isaiah 44:6. Thus sayeth the Lord, the King of Israel and his Redeemer, the Lord of hosts. I am the first and I am the last and beside me there is no God. Hallelujah. Now let me remind you of how I teach. What you're seeing is the scripture in King James version. So the bolded words are the words in scripture and then anything followed in parentheses that isn't in parenthesis in the scripture and I will note that if it is but there are additional words that those words could mean. So kind of giving you a broader perspective of the scripture so you get an indepth look at it. So now let me share a dream that I had that we're going to be discussing and dealing with here in um Isaiah as we look at false idols. So years ago I had this dream where I there was a like a a wall uh out in the wilderness in the desert and they were all different idols and they were like stacked next to each other and they were huge. They they were big and I'm on a bus. We're some distance away and we're driving. I'm a passenger in the bus. And as I'm looking back, I see one of these idols fall and it completely collapses and this sound starts coming toward us as we're running uh driving away in the bus and the um the ground shook. The the the rocks went everywhere of this idol. It it fell. It collapsed. And it collapsed hard cuz it was huge. It was so big. It was a It was an idol that was so big that it fell. And I'm telling the driver, you need to hurry up. So, we crossed this bridge. And of course, I wake up at that point. So, this dream is very interesting because it was a line of a wall of idols and one of them fell. Now I in my life and I am a walking testimony. I have overcome a lot of things in my life and what I teach now and what I pray and what I teach on prayer how to pray walking in Christ forgiveness and mercy. Most likely that dream impacted my life or it was showing me where I was going to end up going because I let go of some sort of false idol and I don't know what it was. All I know is that you can see it. It had face, had eyes, um mouth, nose, you know, it it was a like a visible thing. But the thing is is it was solid uh made out of the face of the the cliff and it was um you know, it was worthless. It was dead. There's no life in it, but it fell. And I was like, "All right, thank you, Lord." So, I share this because I want you to understand we're going to be talking about a a transformation that takes place in your life because once you know God, your life changes. And so, the purpose of this teaching is that in all scripture, and I mean all scripture, God makes a point that everything he does is to reveal himself to you and that you will know that he is God. And here's the thing is we need to know who is our God so that we're not deceived. I saw a video the other couple couple of different videos of people claiming to be Christ and it's getting a little more popular and um I one lady in particular she was saying you know if Christ was here he would say that abortion is okay and that you can be comforted and loved by him and she's talking as if she is Christ and she is uh impersonating Christ and that is false that is a deception because we know that Jesus is about life, not death. Abortion is about death. So, see, if you know who your God is, you know who your scripture is, you will see the false teaching and the the false ideology in there. Okay? So, I want you to see that. What we're going to do is we're going to get into Isaiah 44 here. So, I want you to go to Isaiah 44. We're going to start in verses four and five. And they shall spring up or sprout as among the grass as willows by the water courses. One shall say, "I am the Lord's," and another shall call himself by the name of Jacob, and another shall shall subscribe or write with his hand into unto the Lord and surname himself by the name of Israel. This is the he's identifying a future of false prophets through different methods. So, one is going to say, "I'm Christ himself." Another one's going to say, "Oh, well, I'm of the nationality of the Jews, and so I'm I'm the Messiah." One's going to say, "Hey, listen. I'm writing you this letter, and it's from God." And these are the things we have to be aware of. So, first, we have to know who God is. Who is our God? And the Bible tells us who he is, which means you need to be reading your Bible. There are people who don't want to read the Bible, but yet they want to know. Got to read the Bible. Well, it's not my cup of tea and I'm not a big reader. That's on you and you will be held accountable for those excuses. So, you have to get some self-control and sit down and say, "Okay, Lord, I don't really want to read this, but I'm going to read it anyways because I got to know." You see, once you do that, you move into his presence. So second, if we see anyone say or write anything that claims to be from God, we need to look and see if it's in the Bible. How are you going to know if it's in the Bible if you're not reading it? You see, you have to understand. So when somebody's prophesying something specific like such and such person will be president. I can tell you right now that's not in scripture because nowhere in the Bible does it prophesy other than like Cyrus back in his day. They prophesied Isaiah wrote about him two to 400 years earlier saying that he will be king. This is his name and that you're going to read the scripture to him. That was prophecy. That was a very specific prophecy. But I've not seen any prophecy come in and say, "Well, Trump will be president or Camala will be president." There's no scripture on that. And I've read the Bible through a handful of times. So, you're going to have to realize that. Now also if they're saying something it sounds really good, you have to look and see if it's in the Bible in context. What does the context around that scripture they're quoting or the the idea that they're quoting behind that? Important that you understand that because you're going to see that you need to know and recognize the false teachings and the ideology here. Okay, let's continue on. We're going to go to Isaiah uh verses uh it's we're still in chapter 44:es 6-8. Thus sayith the Lord King of Israel and his redeemer, the Lord of hosts. I love this. This is our opening scripture and notice what it says about redeemer to be the next of kin. You see Jesus was the word and the word became flesh. So he was already in spirit with God. He had to become the flesh to be the redeemer and he became the next of kin. That's very important because when we recognize who our Messiah is and when he says to Mary Magdalene on his way up to heaven with a whole bunch of souls and he says, "I'm going to my God, your God, my father, your father." He's saying to you, "You are the next of kin. You are a joint heir." This is mindblowing and it should just stop you in your tracks. I mean, the fact that he was he rose from the grave, he's on his way to his father. He tells Mary, "Don't touch me. I haven't ascended yet." He's got all these souls behind him. And he stops for us. You have to grasp the concept of who our redeemer is. See, once we know him and he it makes us salivate, thirst, hunger for him, makes us drive after him. Once we know him, it's so amazing that we can see what's going on and be aware. So, and his redeemer, the Lord of hosts, I am the first and I am the last, and beside me there is no God. And who is I shall call and shall declare it and set it in order for me since I appointed the ancient people. and the things are coming and shall come. Let them show unto them. Let's go to verse eight. Fear ye not. Fear ye not. Neither be afraid. Have not I told thee from that time and had declared it. Ye are even my witnesses. Is there a God beside me? Yeah, there is no God. I know not any. Look, he knows by observation and recognition because that's what that word means. Oh, this is so very very important. I want you to catch this. So, notice the distinction of what Isaiah said when he mentioned in verse six between the king of Israel and his redeemer. So, at the time Isaiah wrote this, Jesus had not been born yet. The role of Jesus was to be king and redeemer. We know in hindsight that Jesus came first as the redeemer and we know he's going to return second as king as you see in Revelation 191 11-21. Very important because see the Pharisees kept asking are you the king and and asking if he you know was the son of God and they had no faith. You see, God kept that hidden from them. One, to accomplish his goal, and two, so that they can walk in faith and become a believer. So, if Jesus straight out told you, I am the son of God, which by the way, he ended up doing, and he did it several times, they still didn't believe. They weren't going to believe. And Jesus knew this. Now, notice he's also calling himself as the first and the last, the beginning and the end, the alpha and omega. Where have we heard that? That's in Revelation 22:13. So Isaiah is talking about Jesus, the Messiah, the redeemer, who is coming. And he's saying there's no other God beside him. He said, "I've looked. I've observed. There's no one else. It's just me. I'm God." And he's not only declaring that he's the only God and that he's going to have a redeemer. He is prophesying it in Isaiah's time in the past so that those of us today can see and recognize who God is by declaring us witnesses today with the ancient people back then. Both generations are witnesses to it. And notice his observation as I've already stated, he doesn't know that there's any other God. I trust my God. There is no other God. Now we're going to go to Isaiah 49. Let's look at Isaiah 49. We're going to read verses 9- 11. They that make a graven image are all of them vanity, and their delectable things shall not profit, and they are their own witnesses. They see not, nor know that they may be ashamed. Who hath formed a god or moltant, a graven image that is profitable for nothing or failure of? Verse 11. Behold, all his fellows shall be ashamed, and the workmen they are of men. Let them all be gathered together. Let them stand up, yet they shall fear, and they shall be ashamed together. This is very important. As I mentioned in my dream, I saw these idols budded up against one another. Obviously, they were car carved out of the side of a cliff kind of like Mount Rushmore, but the difference is they were all next to each other. They all different faces, but this one particular one just dropped. It fell and it collapsed. And that is what's going to happen. Now, false idols is something um that we create in our minds or is even physical. We make a graven image out of it. Um, there was a point where the kings were drinking. Uh, I forget. I think it was Nebuchadnezzar. Anyways, I I'm going off the top of my head on this part. I wasn't planning on putting this in here, but he was drinking out of the the cups, the um the golden cups, and he was just so well pleased with him. And then the finger of God writes on the wall because he's bringing it down. And God says, you know, this is it. You're done for tonight. And he was killed that night. I don't think it was Nebuchadnezzar. Might have been his son. But anyways, whoever that was, it's there. You can go read it in um in the Bible. I don't think it's in Daniel. But anyways, you can find it. Just search uh for um gold cup, something like that, and you will find it. But this is what I'm talking about. See, when you know the scriptures, you know that persona. They're well pleased. They're drinking out of the cups from the temple. God's cup. These are things that were set aside for God by Israel. Israel made these and they're thinking they're so proud of themselves because they were overcomers, but the only reason God allowed them to overcome is because his people were sinning. So, in our minds, we create these images. Then, we also create them physically. Back in the day especially, you had these little idols that you would put in your home. Little goddess of Diana or any of those type of things. These are the things you took a look at the Paris Olympics here that we just recently experienced. They had a bowl in there, a golden calf. These are things that they brought up from the past. These are things that they should know better because they should know the scripture, but they don't know the scripture and they don't know God. So, Here's the thing is we expect these c certain images of what we think are good things. You know, I I remember a co-orker of mine would put a penny in the corner of her desk next to a frog or something something like that and she'd say, "Oh, this is for good luck. Think of a rabbit's foot. Somebody carrying a rabbit's foot." We expect these certain images of good things to bring us good things or good luck. No. Even the cross, if you you've got Jesus on the cross and you you're hanging him around your your neck, he's already risen. You should have a cross is empty because now you're declaring he's alive and he is off the cross. It is great to remember what he did on the cross because that's how we do holy communion. This we do in remembrance. See, if you know the scriptures, you will recognize who God is and how to deal with uh false teachings and the the things that are going on around the world. Now, I want to show you in scripture how much God says this throughout scripture is fascinating. When I did a word search on this um and the way the word search does it, it it groups these words together. So in other words, these are scriptures that compile with these words in it and it has usually the the the concept of what it's saying. So I am Lord or there is no other god. This kind of thing. It that phrase was 422 times and then I refined the phrase more and got down to 322 times in the Bible. So this phrase exist uh this this concept of there's no God, I'm God. And you will know that I'm God. That's the phrase, you will know that I'm God. That is in the Bible that many times. So, I want you to see this. We're going to go to Exodus 14:4. It's talking about Pharaoh. And I will harden Pharaoh's heart that he shall follow after them. And I will be honored upon and I will be honored upon Pharaoh up and upon all his host that the Egyptians may know that I am the Lord. And they did so. You see, the Egyptians followed so many gods. They had all these false gods. They had um frogs were their gods, flies, um snakes. They had all of these gods. And so all of those gods came back and were allowed to destroy Egypt by the Israelites coming out of the land of Egypt. And that was no small feat. I mean, we're talking this was a major thing, bringing out million plus people from Egypt into the wilderness. But God did it so that the Egyptians will know that he is Lord. That's incredible. You see, all those false gods they believed in were worthless. They were nothing. And they could not stop God. And they could not stand up against God. Oh, I hope you guys are seeing that there is a God. There is only one God. And we need to know who he is so that we can be prepared to not fall in the traps of deception that's coming our way that is already here. Let's read Isaiah 49:25 and 26. But thus sayith the Lord, even the captives and the mighty shall be taken away, and the prey of the terrible shall be delivered. For I will contend with him that contendeth with thee, and I will save thy children. And I will feed them that oppress thee with their own flesh, and they shall be drunken with their own blood, as with sweet wine, and all flesh shall know that I, the Lord, am thy savior and thy redeemer, the mighty one of Jacob. I hope you guys see this. You see, one of the things that Jesus did when he became redeemer is he set the captive free. Go to Daniel 9:24. It's like a list of all the things that Jesus did. And Jesus also read Isaiah in front of the Pharisees and the Sadducees saying this scripture is fulfilled today in your hearing. And it's about setting the captive free, the blind to see. So here, but I want you to also see what God did. He's saving his people because he sent his redeemer. That's Jesus. Now these people are drunken on their own blood. that is referring they're they're salivating. They are um they're so like I was mentioning that king drinking from the cup. They're so into their own selves and they're so satisfied. But that represents the blood of the lives that they killed for them to feel that way like I'm all powerful. They're drunken on that blood. Go to Revelation 17:6 in which the woman mystery Babylon is great drunk on the blood of the saints. So, and in Revelation and in this scripture here in Isaiah, everyone, all flesh will know that Jesus is the savior and the redeemer. Now, notice Jesus states this because he does what his father asks him. And if we know Jesus, we know the father. This is why he was telling the Pharisees, the Pharisees says, "What authority do you have to do this? Who is your father?" He says, "Well, if you knew me, you know my father." That's in John 8:19. That's just one of the scriptures. There's many more on that. Let's go to Ezekiel 39:28. And they, let's see. Then they shall know that I am the Lord their God, which caused them to be led into captivity among the heathen, but I have gathered them unto their own land, and have left none of them anymore there. Now, if you read Ezekiel 38 and39, you will find that uh this is prophecy has not happened yet. It's about the battle of Gog and Magog for the end times. This is going to trigger the day of the Lord. And again, here's God saying they will know he is Lord. Who are they? All flesh. So, he's been saying this throughout history. And then he's prophesying because it's going to be coming because this generation doesn't know who their God is. Remember, if you go back to Abraham and you look at Abraham's journey and you look at it through the book of Jasher, now the book of Jasher mimics the first several books of the Bible mostly, but it gives you a lot more insight as to what's going on. Yes, it's not in part of the cannon of the Bible, but it does add a little bit more. So, it's not for spiritual growth, but it is very interesting and there is some historical references in there. And the Bible does reference the book of Joshua. Well, one of the things it says about Abraham is that he went looking to find out who God is. He looked, he thought it was in the sun. Then the sun went down and he's like, "Well, no, I guess it can't be God. The moon." Same thing. And so then he heard the voice of God. Cuz see, he went to his father's house, tore down all those false idols. All of them. He He tore them down. His father was livid with him. Why'd you do that? All Abraham said, they couldn't defend themselves. They're not God. So Abraham got to hear the voice of God. And here we are joint hes with the promises given to Abraham. This is why we have to hear and know who our Lord is. Because all flesh will know. Every knee will bow. Every tongue confess that Jesus is Lord. It's going to happen. It's been prophesied. Jeremiah 24:7. And I will give them a heart to know which is ascertained by seeing me that I am the Lord, and they shall be my people, and I will be their God, for they shall return unto me with their whole heart. He's talking about the restoration of Israel. But at the same time, that's applying to us. This is incredible. You see, when we become a believer, our heart is transformed into a heart of intellect provided by God himself. Things change. This allows us to discern the things that are going on. We get to see the things that God wants us to see because he is our Lord and we are his people. We are having a relationship with him. Every time you open the Bible and you read it, you understand it. That's why there's no excuse. If you're making an excuse like, I just can't understand it. There are so many translations that exist that you can read the New International Version. It's not one I prefer and I don't use it. I use the King James version, but it will get you started in understanding it. When you finally want to delve into a deeper part of the scripture, then you can move on to learning Hebrew or Greek or going into the King James and doing literal word translations, which is what I do here in my teachings. This is allowing God to work in us because we're getting to know him in the relationship that we have with him because we are his people. Remember, we're joint hes. The moment that you confess as Romans 10:9 says, "Confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved." That mind changes immediately at that point. Now I want you to see something here's interesting. This is Isaiah 43 and5. This is talking about John the Baptist. The voice of him that crith in the wilderness. Prepare ye the way of the Lord. Make straight in the desert a highway for our God. Every valley shall be exalted and every mountain and hill shall be made low. And the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough places plain, and the glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh, there it is, shall see it together. For the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it. This was prophesied in Luke 3:4 and 4-6. Let's read that. As it is written in the book of the words of Isaiah, Isaias, the prophet, saying, the voice of one crying in the wilderness, prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his path straight. Every valley shall be filled. Every mountain shall and hill shall be brought low. And the crooked shall be made straight. And the rough ways shall be made smooth. And all flesh s shall see the salvation of God. I love that word salvation there means defender. And see is gaze. We can see and gaze on the defense that we have from our Christ. All flesh shall see the salvation of the Lord. And that's you and me. That includes you and me. So, have you confessed Jesus as your Lord and Savior? As Romans 10:9 says, says when we confess him, we become a believer and our heart changes. We begin to acknowledge that Jesus Christ is the son of God. And you see, that's how you test the spirit. That's how you know if someone's teaching from the word of God. I speak truth. I speak scripture. I'm not doing it out of context because Jesus is the son of God. He comes first. I'm not doing this for personal gain. I do this because I love you guys and I want you to understand what's going on. A lot of people ask, why does God do the things that he does? Part of it is so that you will know that he is God. He created all of this and decided to let it continue on. Remember, he did the flood. He brought in the flood, but he allowed eight people to survive, four couples, and three of them were able to repopulate the earth from the one couple. So, he allowed it. He decided, I'm going to let it go, and I'm going to send my son to die and redeem everyone. And so, his son now has a body. He is Jesus, the Messiah. The word became flesh. John 1:1. This is now who we serve, who we believe. And when you have your eyes on the word of God, you put the excuses aside and you say, "Okay, Lord, I'm going to get in your word. I'm going to study your word. I'm going to find out more about you." What's happening is you are avoiding uh you are protecting yourself from the deception of the world. So when there's a preacher that comes up behind the pulpit and says something to the effect like, "Well, Jesus would say this, is it in the Bible?" And if you find that that phrase is not in the Bible, that's a false teacher. That's a false teacher. You have to be able to designate what and who that person is. And then you can walk away. You can pray for them, forgive them, and ask the Holy Spirit to move in them because you never know. Maybe that's what it is. Is the Holy Spirit just needs to move in their life since they're wanting to be a teacher of the word of God. Maybe they'll be in there and they'll finally read it and know. And maybe they'll put their agenda aside because they obviously support abortion and they're trying to justify it through whatever scripture they can find by simply using the name of Jesus. He would say this. That's a false teaching, false ideology. And it is time that we pray for them. We forgive them and we give them to the Lord and ask the Lord to deal with them. And hopefully something clicks in their mind. Maybe the the delusion that they're under which is sent by God as Paul prophesied. If they're under that strong delusion, maybe he will reveal that off their eyes just so they can see a little bit and hopefully make the right choice. Now, I know how hard it is. You know, I I stand on the word of God. And when I hear somebody come in and teach a different way than what I'm used to, I criticize it big time. And sometimes I have to admit that was ingenious how you read that scripture, how you interpreted it, how it stood with you. That's how it works. But that's having that relationship with God is going to help me stand strong on his firm name, the foundation, the rock that I run to. He's my righteous tower. I run to him. And in that tower, in his word, I have a hedge of protection around me and my mind keeping me from the false ideologies, the false idols out there, helping me uh have the renewing and the transformation of my mind daily. That's where we need to be with Christ. Amen. Let's uh I want to close in a word of prayer. Let's close. Lord, Lord Jesus, we lift this word up to you. And I pray that we don't forget your word, that we apply your word, that we get into your word and put the excuses aside, that we get to know your word, so we can know who you are and recognize when there are false teachers and false um Christ out there, these antichrist, so that we can recognize what's going on and know where you're going and how your end is coming to be. Father God, you are mighty. You are amazing. You are God. You are the creator. And I thank you for revealing yourself to us. In the mighty name of Jesus, we pray. Amen. Amen. Amen. God bless you. And I will see you in the next message. Bye bye. Home Previous Next
- RIZPAH: BLOOD CURSE | House of Faith Ministries (HoFM)
RIZPAH: BLOOD CURSE The objective of this message is to teach believers the importance of understanding both blessings and curses, how they affect individuals, families, and entire nations, and how forgiveness and intercession can break cycles of judgment. By examining the story of Rizpah, King Saul, the Gibeonites, and King David, the message emphasizes the consequences of covenant-breaking, the inheritance of curses, and the role of prayer and mercy in restoring God’s blessing and rain upon the land. RIZPAH: BLOOD CURSE Minister Lisa Kane July 18, 2024 Objective: The objective of this message is to teach believers the importance of understanding both blessings and curses, how they affect individuals, families, and entire nations, and how forgiveness and intercession can break cycles of judgment. By examining the story of Rizpah, King Saul, the Gibeonites, and King David, the message emphasizes the consequences of covenant-breaking, the inheritance of curses, and the role of prayer and mercy in restoring God’s blessing and rain upon the land. Synopsis: In this teaching, Lisa Kane continues her series on women in the Bible, focusing on Rizpah, a concubine of King Saul and the mother of two of his sons. The message begins with 2 Samuel 21:1, where a three-year famine during King David’s reign is revealed to be a result of Saul’s violation of Israel’s covenant with the Gibeonites. Saul’s act of bloodshed against a protected people brought a generational curse upon the land. Lisa explains the history of the Gibeonites, tracing their covenant with Israel back to Joshua 9, where they used trickery to secure protection but nonetheless became bound under Israel’s oath before God. Because Saul broke this covenant, the famine was a direct judgment from God. David, seeking atonement, delivers seven descendants of Saul—including Rizpah’s two sons—to the Gibeonites, who hang them to satisfy justice. The message highlights Rizpah’s grief and perseverance as she guarded the bodies of her sons from birds and beasts until the rains returned. Her vigil displayed both mourning and a desperate connection to the consequences of sin and covenant-breaking. David, moved by her devotion, later gathers the bones of Saul, Jonathan, and the executed sons, burying them with honor. Only then does the curse lift, and God restores rain to the land. Lisa draws out the principle that curses can affect entire generations, but forgiveness, repentance, and mercy can restore blessing. She warns against the spiritual dangers of covenant-breaking, murder, and bitterness—contrasting Rizpah’s suffering with David’s merciful actions. The teaching concludes with an exhortation for believers today to intercede for their families, churches, and lands, forgiving sins, nullifying curses, and claiming God’s inheritance of rain and restoration. Inspired Teaching - Written and/or Transcribed from Video Above: Hello and welcome to the House of Faith Ministries. I'm Lisa Kaine. I'm recording this message on Thursday, July 18th, 2024. Welcome. Let's open up in a word of prayer. Father God, we thank you for your word and we bless your word that it does not return void. And we pray and ask that our ears are open to listen to your word. That we hear it and that we listen to it. apply it, obey it, and uh realize what curses and blessings do and take it upon ourselves to see those curses and blessings in our lives and to recognize it and to know what to do with them, Father God. And I thank you for your word in the name of Jesus. Amen. Amen. Amen. I've been talking about women in the Bible and we're going to continue to do so. And we're going to be talking about a gal named Rispa. And I'm titling this message Risbot blood curse. All right, let's go to our opening scripture here in 2 Samuel 21:1. Then there was a famine or a hunger in the days of David three years, year after year, and David inquired. That word inquired says, "Search out the face that turns." So he inquired of the Lord. You see, the Lord is the one who can make things change. And the Lord answered, "It is for Saul," this is talking about King Saul, and for his bloody bloodshed that causes death. house because he slew the Gibeonites. So bloody there means the bloodshed that causes death. So he stabbed, used a sword, killed someone causing their blood to shed out of their body and they died as a result because we can't live without the blood in our body. Well, he also not just killed anyone, he killed the Gibeonites. We got to find out who the Gibeonites are because you're finding out here as we're going to find out who Rizba is here in just a moment. We got to find out what King Saul did. Because see, I'm gonna let you in on a little secret. Rispa is a concubine of King Saul and had two of his sons. So, we need to go find out what King Saul had done because of what he did. He caused a curse to come on the land and there was a famine year after year, three years in a row. and David because King at this point in scripture, what we just read, King Saul is dead. So, what we just read is King David is realizing, wait a second, why is the land cursed? What's going on, Lord? But he's already dead. Saul's dead, but the curse is still alive. I hope you're catching this because I want you to see what curses and blessings do. Rispa is gonna show us and we're gonna see that in what her actions are. But remember, as a concubine of King Saul, she is part of that covering of King Saul. So, she's got a curse on her. This we're going to get to that. All right. What we need to do is we need to find out who the Gibeonites are because obviously they've got a protection on them and somehow they got killed by Saul and that brought this curse on. So let's go look at how there was a covenant made with the Gibeonites that secured the Gibeonites in the nation of Israel. Amen. So we're going to start in Joshua 9:es 2-7 that they gathered themselves together to fight with Joshua and Israel with one accord, which is one mind, one mouth. And when the inhabitants of Gibian, which is a hilly area called Gibbon, heard what Joshua, which Joshua means Jehovah saved, had done unto Jericho. And Ai, I'mma pause there real quick. Oh, the rumors have gone through the land. You see, Israel has come out of the wilderness under the leadership of Joshua, and they defeated Ai, and they defeated Jericho. Remember, the walls came tumbling down at Jericho. So these Gibeonites heard about it. Let's continue reading. I want you to see what they say. They did work willy liilly trickery and went out and made as if they had been ambassadors and took old sacks upon their asses and wine bottles old and rent and bound up and old shoes and clouded upon their feet and old garments upon them. And all the bread of their provision was dry and moldy. And they went to Joshua into the camp of Gilgal and said unto him and to the man of Israel, we become from a far country. Now therefore make ye a league or a covenant with us. And the men of Israel said unto the Hivites, per adventure ye dwell with us or among us. Uh what if you dwell among us is what they're saying. How shall we make a league with you? If you continue to read on, you will find that they convince them with their old clothes that they have been traveling a long ways. And here our bread was fresh when we left, but it's moldy now. They're lying through their teeth. But Israel didn't inquire of the Lord. Joshua didn't go to the Lord. They didn't check it out. So the princes or the leadership of the congregation got together and they made a covenant with the Gibeonites and said, "Okay, we got you covered. We're not going to kill you." Well, then Israel starts traveling. They're defeating the cities and they come to Gibbon, the Gibbeonites. Let's continue. Let's go to verse 17 now. And in chapter nine, and the and the children of Israel journeyed and came into their cities on the third day. Now their cities were there's Gibian and then Shafara, Beera, and Kirum. I know I'm butchering those names. And the children of Israel went to smoke or strike them. But realize they can't. The children of Israel smoke them not because the princes of the congregation has sworn unto them by the Lord God of Israel. And all the congregation now murmured against the princes. But all the princes said unto all the congregation, we have sworn unto them by the Lord God of Israel, now therefore we may not touch them. This we will do to them, and we will even let them live, lest wrath be upon us, because of the oath which we swear unto them. And all the princes said unto them, let them live, but let them be hewers of wood and drawers of water unto all the congregation, as the princes had promised. So Joshua calls them over, the Gibeonites, and he spake unto them, saying, "Wherefore have ye beguiled us, saying, we're from a very far country, yet you dwell among us." This is what Joshua is complaining about. So he says to them, "Now therefore ye are cursed, and there shall none of you be freed from being bondmen and heers of wood and drawers of water for the house of my God." They answered Joshua and said, "Because it was certainly told thy servants, how that the Lord thy God commanded his servant Moses to give you all the land, and to destroy all the inhabitants of the land from before you, therefore we were so afraid of our lives because of you, and have done the same." And now, behold, we are in thine hand, as it seemth good, and right unto thee to do unto us do. And so did he unto them, and deliver them out of the hand of the children of Israel, that they slew them not. And Joshua made them that day heers of wood, and drawers of water for the congregation, and for the altar of the Lord, even unto this day, in the place which he should choose. Okay. The Gibeonites actually become a part of the tribe of Benjamin. You can go read that. They are now sacred. They have a covenant upon them and they are protected. Well, when God tells David about the famine, he says to him, "Well, he killed the Gibeonites. He had killed many of them. He didn't kill them all. We're going to find that out here shortly. But he goes and kills them." And he's a murderer because he's killed before. He causes people to die by draining their blood. He stabs them or does whatever. That's what King Saul was doing. You know, leaders can have a reputation of murder surrounding them. I'll just leave it at that. But that's what happened with King Saul here. But as a result of that, it caused a curse, a famine to come into the land. That was our opening scripture that we read. So, now we're going to find out about who Ryzbah is, and we're going to find out what's going on up to this time frame of David seeking the Lord because it's in that transitional period of King Saul being dead and David being alive and taking over the kingdom as the king of all of Israel and Judah. Well, at that time, we're going to find out who Ryba is. So let's go look at this transitional phase. We're going to be in 2 Samuel chapter 3. We're going to read verses 6-14. It came to pass while there was a war between the house of Saul and the house of David that Abner, which means father of light, made himself strong for the house of Saul. And Saul had a concubine whose name was Rizpah, the daughter of Aia. And Ishbasheth said to Abnner, "Wherefore wherefore hast thou gone into my father's concubine." Then was Abner very wroth. He he had a glow or grow warm. His face turned red. He He's embarrassed and angry and upset all at the same time. And it shows on the face. You You've seen that happen to people. for the words of Ishbasheth, and said, "Am I a dog's head, which against Judah, do show kindness this day unto the house of Saul thy father, to his brother, and to his friends, and have not delivered thee into the hand of David, that thou chargeth me today with a fault concerning this woman?" See, he took the concubine in. Didn't marry her or anything. He just made her his lover, if you will. This is who Ryz is. So, she's now she was under the covenant of Saul. This guy has favor for Saul, which means he's probably a murderer, too. Or he has that kind of spirit over him. And here Risba is living in this mess. Okay, she's in this mess. And this guy is accusing him. You know, hey, where's your morals? He doesn't have any. But watch what happens next. Uh verse 9. This is Abnner still outraged. So do God to Abnner. more also except as the Lord had Lord hath sworn to David even so I do to him to translate the kingdom from the house of Saul and to set so he's saying he's in the process of translating the kingdom from the house of Saul to set up the throne of David over Israel and over Judah from Dan even to Beersa and he now this Ishbasheth could not answer he says and he could not answer Abnner a word again because he feared him and then here now you hear Abnner sent messengers to David on his behalf. You see, he's coming to the realization, uh, I'm not going to have this kingdom by myself. He's not going to be king. And he knows that the favor of the Lord is on David. But yet, he still has this ugly covering over him because they're all about killers, murderers, and what have you. So, Havner sent messengers to David on his behalf, saying, "Who's is the land? and saying also, "Make thy league or a covenant with me, and behold, my hand shall be with thee to bring about all Israel unto thee." Now, David is a very merciful man of God. He knows what's going on. He's not dumb. He's got part of the kingdom, and now he needs to bring the other kingdom in. And this guy is saying he can do it. So he's going to go ahead and make a covenant. Let's read what David says. He says to him in verse 13, he said, 'Well, I will make a league with thee, but one thing I require of thee, that is that thou shalt not see my face, except thou first bring Mikall Saul's daughter, when thou comest to see my face. And then look what David does here in verse 14. And David sent messengers to Ishbasheth, Saul's son, saying, deliver me my wife McCall, which I espouseed to me for 100 skins of the Philistines. In other words, David didn't trust Abnner. So, he sent messengers both ways. He agreed to Abnner and then he sent to Ishbasheth saying, "I want my wife back and he's going to make this covenant with him." So, now you see this is where Rizpa is. She's right in the middle and this transitional period is taking place. So, David is in this famine. Three years go by. It's year after year not a drop of rain has come in the land and David seeks it out. Now let's go read what happens after that. Okay. 2 Samuel 21. We start in verse one. Then there was a famine in the days of David three years year after year is our opening scripture. And David inquired of the Lord and the Lord answered it is for Saul for his bloody house because he slew the Gibeonites in. So, King David, he and the king called the Gibeonites, and said unto them, now these are the Gibeonites were not of the children of Israel, but of the remnant of the Amorites, and the children of Israel has sworn unto them, and Saul sought to slay them in his zeal to the children of Israel and Judah. So, I went looking for that campaign as I uh mentioned earlier, and I could not find it. The Lord did not put that campaign in scripture, his zeal, and he went after. And maybe he did, and I'm missing it. It could be that it was termed under the Amorites. But anyways, God is saying it straight up here. Saul got a little crazy with his campaign and went after and went after the Gibeonites who were part of they had become part of the tribe of Benjamin. and they had a covering, a covenant that Saul knew, because Saul is from the tribe of Benjamin. Let's continue on. Verse three. So wherefore David said unto the Gibonites, "What shall I do for you? And wherewith shall I make the atonement?" The word atonement means to cover, cancel, appease. Because he's got to atone for this curse here. That ye may bless the inheritance of the Lord. Reign is the inheritance of the Lord. You're going to find that out here in at the last scripture I have in this teaching. Rain is an inheritance of the Lord. And David is trying to restore the inheritances. And notice it's on everybody. It's on David on the good side. And it's on the Gibeonites. It's on Abnner. It's on Rispah. It's on the evil and it's on the good. It's on the entire land. The whole land is affected by what Saul did. one man who broke a covenant and caused a curse to come on the land. All it takes is one person to do something. And this is a blood curse that is affected the land. And how many droughts have we been going through in the last 25 years? Let's continue on. Verse four. And the Gibeonites said unto him, we will have no silver nor gold of Saul, nor of his house, neither for us shalt thou kill any man in Israel. And he said, What ye shall say, that will I do for you. But the Gibeonites continued, "And they answered the king, the man that consumed us," talking about Saul, "and that devised against us that we should be destroyed from remaining in any of the coast of Israel." Now, you get a little bit more of a an understanding here of what's going on. Saul tried to wipe them out. What happened to Go read the book of Esther. They tried to wipe out the Israelites and God protected the Israelites and they celebrate PUM today that Hmon I just taught on this. He tried to wipe them out. Well, you see when you try to wipe out somebody who is covered by God, you bring a curse upon yourself. Oh, I'm seeing the Abrahamic uh blessings and cursings activated here. Look at this. So, he tried to wipe them out. And so he says, this is Gibian still talking verse six. Let seven men of his sons be delivered unto us and we will hang them up unto the Lord in Giba of Saul whom the Lord did choose and the king said I will give them. I'm going pause here again. Remember the Gibeonites come from the Amorites, but they've been covered by Israel because they tricked Israel into covering. So they've been chopping wood and getting water to the Israelites all these years. They have taken now on the God of Israel. That is who they serve now. So they're saying, "Okay, we're going to give us seven sons of this man who tried to kill us and we're going to hang them and that will appease and take care of the curse." And David says, "Okay, I will do that." Let's continue now to see what David does. Verse seven. But the king spared Mephishbasheth, the son of Jonathan, the son of Saul, because of the Lord's oath that was between them, between David and Jonathan, the son of Saul. David and Jonathan had a very special relationship. Jonathan loved David more than a brother, more than a best friend, more than anything. He would give his life for David. So, David is protecting Jonathan. Jonathan has passed away. He died the same time King Saul did. He was fighting with his father again. Even though he loved David, he had every he had the covering of his father on him and that murdering curse caused him to die. Well, David atoned for that by saving his son. So, Jonathan's line can continue because see, Jonathan still loved David, which is the good of he represents God. Now, look at what happens here. Verse eight. But the king took the two sons of Risba, the daughter of Ai, whom she bare unto Saul, Armonia and Mephishbasheth. Now Jonathan had a son named Mafishbasheth. Risbah had a son named Mafishbasheth. There's two of them. I hope you get that here. And then and the five sons of Mikll, the daughter of Saul, whom she brought up for Adriel, the son of Barzeli, the Maheli. Let's stop and pause for a moment. McCall had no children. McCall is David's wife that he we saw him tell Abnner and Ishbasheth to bring me my wife McCall. I want her back. Well, she never had children. She was married to another man after David had left. Well, David wants her back. He ends up getting her back. I don't know if they ever sleep together again or not, but she has no children. However, remember David had killed um 100 Philistines and gave the four skins for her. He paid the price for her, but he was supposed to get Mebaha, McCall's older sister, but Meabbah was married off to someone else. So, McCall was the replacement. Well, Mebah is the one who had these children or was married into Adriel, the son of Barzeli, the Maheli. That's Mebba. So apparently Merba has died and McCall has taken over raising her children. That's very interesting. See the dynamics here of how this is. So Rispa who is under the covering of Saul murderer killer who cursed the land and caused the drought to take place for three years. And McCall who ends up hating David remember he comes in with the ark of the covenant and he's dancing and praising the Lord in his loin cloth and she was so embarrassed and bitter. She never got to have she was so bitter. That was it. She ends up dying a bitter old lady. Well, the children she raised for her sister, she loses them. It's just bitterness upon bitterness upon bitterness on her because she hated David for what he was doing to the Lord. And then Rispa because she was under the curse of her mate because it wasn't a husband, she was a concubine. And so this when you are not on God's side, you have the curse of death upon you. So Rispa is going to lose her two children and MCL's going to lose their her five children. And now seven men are going to die and be hanged because of what one man did to kill what the covenant of the Lord was upon. I hope you guys are getting this. Let's continue on. And this is David. And he delivered them into the hands of the Gibeonites, and they hang them in the hill before the Lord. And they fell all seven together and were put to death in the days of harvest in the first days in the beginning of barley harvest. And Rispa, the daughter of Aiiah, took sackcloth and spread it for her upon the rock, from the beginning of harvest until water dropped upon them out of heaven, and suffered neither the birds of the air to rest on them by day, nor the beasts of the field by night. And it was told David that what Ryzah, the daughter of Aiah, the concubine of Saul, had done. And David went and took the bones of Saul and the bones of Jonathan his son from the men of Jabish Gilead which had stolen them from the street of Bethon where the Philistines had hanged them when the Philistines had slain Saul in Galboa Gilboa. And he brought up he brought up from thence the bones of Saul and the bones of Jonathan's son and they gathered the bones of them that were hanged. So that includes the seven sons there. and the bones of Saul and Jonathan his son buried they in the country of Benjamin and Zilah in the seulture of Kish his father and they performed all that the king commanded and after that God was entreated for the land. Okay. So Rispa loses her two sons and when she does she goes to where they were hung. She puts herself a place there where she can sit down and she's keeping the birds of the air away from their bodies. She's not letting the animals get to their bodies. So this is what she does. And she stays there until rain comes back. So even though David, he finds out about it. And by the way, now they're bones. They're no longer flesh in here. She sat she was there for a very long time. He takes all the bones. He decides to get Saul, Jonathan, and these seven men there because they're all one family. This is how much mercy David has. He hears what she does. She's grieving. See, she should know better who the God of Israel is. And yet, she was under. She being part of King Saul's family and he had that spirit on him where he listened to the Lord a little bit but not much. how much of an influencer her was she to him. So it cost her it cost her her two sons and David's line almost if it wasn't for um David having mercy on Jonathan's son that his line would have ended at that point because that's he's a killer he's a murderer he has a curse on him which then she takes that on as well so Rizbah suffer that but because of what she did David sees mercy he buries those bones and And as soon as those bones are all buried and the mercy, his mercy nullifies, the curse is now broken because these seven men were what had to be hung to undo the curse. When they did that, the rain fell on the land. Now again, what is the rain falls on everybody the same, whether you're good or bad? Don't mess with the rain by killing somebody who has the covenant of the Lord upon them. Now, let's go read about the rain a little bit more. 2 Chronicles 6:26-27. When the heaven, the sky is shut up, hold back. Now, this is Solomon, by the way. He's This is now years later. David's dead. He's built the temple. He's dedicating the temple. This is what Solomon says. So this is now many years later. Watch this. When the heaven, the sky is shut up or holds back and there's no rain because they have sinned against thee. Yet if they pray to judge, intercede, intreat toward this place, and confess literally to use thy name, confess the name, and turn from their sin when thou dost afflict them. Then here he's telling God, "Hear intelligently, intention, obediently, thou from heaven, and forgive, pardon, spare the sin of thy servants and of thy people Israel, when thou hast taught them the good way wherein they should walk and send rain upon the land and which thou hast given unto thy people for an inheritance." Solomon just simply told you how to bring the rain back to the land, and we saw David do it physically. after what Saul did. So we know what causes drought and we know what causes the rain to come back. So next time we face a drought situation and remember I have testified that in California when I used to live there I prayed over that area and it took a couple of years but the breakthrough finally came because people kept cursing the land and making it drier and drier and I was like Lord we're trying to bless it. They're cursing, shut their mouths. And it did happen. And now they've got rain and a lot of rain and a lot more rain in the last few years. They've been getting more and more rain, which is incredible because the land has been restored and we're doing the same here. We're seeing the cycle come back where rain is an inheritance is coming back. So now let's take a look at what Ryz put. She was grieving. She did not pray for Saul. Remember I taught on Adam and Eve when Eve was created. She was made from the rib of Adam. She's part of his rib cage. Now, she may be a Rispa may be a concubine to Saul, but here's the thing. She had the responsibility to pray for him, and she did not. Remember now, Saul started off as a man of God. He prophesied in the Lord's name. Remember what Jesus said? You may have prophesied in my name, but I don't know who you are. Well, you see what happened to Saul as he got further and further from God to the point where he didn't even talk to God because God wasn't answering him. He went to a meeting to go try to talk to Samuel who had died. And that was that was the done deal. His kingdom was torn from him and that was it. If Risba had been praying for him for that matter, if any of the women there had been praying for him, we would have a different lineage today. Like God knew what was going on. And this is why Jesus comes through the line of David. But we are taught if you want restoration in the land and you want the rain to come, you have to void and nullify the curse. One way to do it is to forgive it. Forgive it and let it go. Say, "Lord, we we're experiencing a drought. We need more rain. That is your inheritance. So, I'm asking for your inheritance. So, Lord, I forgive the sins of the land. I forgive the curses over the land. I forgive the curses against the land. And I forgive the iniquities that you find in the land." Because see, when there's a murder and the blood goes into the land into the ground, the ground is crying up to God saying, "Avenge me." So, there's an avenger of blood or a spiritual avenger that is going to be coming out against us, which holds the rain back. So, then what do you do? You forgive it. And then you tell those demons to get lost. You say, "Get out of the land. Get below my feet. I bind you with feathers of iron to the iron below my feet." Remember, we stand on the name of Jesus and he is going to rule with an iron fist. So, he's full of iron. Tell those demons that they are bound to that iron. And then what you do is you bless the land. Say, "Lord, it is now forgiven. I forgave it." And the Lord said, "If you forgive it, I will forgive it." So, if I'm forgiving it, he's obligated to forgive it. which then the rain comes and it is our inheritance. Oh, I hope you guys see the principle that is here that is given to us so that we can stand and enjoy the land that the Lord has given us. We should never have to have allergies or sicknesses and diseases. That's all a result of sin. But the moment you have mercy from God and you asked him to forgive you, that sin is gone. Those curses are gone, the curses are gone, and we can live in the promises that he has given us. Amen. Let's close in a word of prayer. Father God, we thank you for your word. And we thank you that your word does not return void. Lord, I pray that more people get this message, hear it, and become prayers of forgiveness over the their land, over their families, over their households, over their churches, so that we can start seeing this mercy and forgiveness spread through the land. Thank you, Lord, for showing us our inheritance because it is beautiful and wonderful to have rain over the land, for everything to be lush and nourished. Thank you Lord. You are the blessing and you are king of glory and we give you the glory, the honor and the praise for all of this. In the name of Jesus we pray. Amen. Amen. God bless you. I will see you in the next message. Bye-bye. Home Previous Next
- DELIGHTING IN THE LAW OF THE LORD | House of Faith Ministries (HoFM)
DELIGHTING IN THE LAW OF THE LORD To encourage believers to discover true happiness and transformation by delighting in the Word of God, meditating on it day and night, and walking in His counsel rather than in the ways of the ungodly. The teaching aims to show that joy, peace, and prosperity flow from spending time in God’s presence, receiving His truth, and allowing the Holy Spirit to change hearts and minds. DELIGHTING IN THE LAW OF THE LORD Minister Lisa Kane June 29, 2025 Objective: To encourage believers to discover true happiness and transformation by delighting in the Word of God, meditating on it day and night, and walking in His counsel rather than in the ways of the ungodly. The teaching aims to show that joy, peace, and prosperity flow from spending time in God’s presence, receiving His truth, and allowing the Holy Spirit to change hearts and minds. Synopsis: This teaching, rooted in Psalm 1:1–2, explores the blessings of delighting in the law of the Lord. Lisa Kane begins with prayer, emphasizing the power of God’s Word to transform lives. She explains that “blessed” means happy, and happiness comes from refusing ungodly counsel, avoiding the path of sinners, and not sitting with the scornful. Instead, believers are to seek counsel from the Bible and godly people, entering the secret place with the Lord for strength and renewal. Through examples such as Paul and Silas worshipping in prison, she illustrates how joy can be present even in suffering when one abides in God’s Word. The teaching highlights the importance of meditation—keeping Scripture in thought day and night—as a way to cultivate peace, forgiveness, and fruitfulness. Like a tree planted by rivers of water, the believer prospers when rooted in God’s Word, bearing spiritual fruit and reflecting God’s love to others. Kane contrasts the righteous with the ungodly, who are unstable and carried away by worldly trends. She reminds listeners of God’s ultimate judgment, stressing the need for repentance and intercessory prayer for the lost. Finally, she exhorts believers to prioritize time with God, to let His Word shape desires, and to walk in the joy and prosperity that come from seeking Him first. The message closes with a prayer of thanksgiving for God’s transforming presence, urging believers to continue delighting in His law so that His love, peace, and power overflow in their lives. Inspired Teaching - Written and/or Transcribed from Video Above: Hello and welcome to the House of Faith Ministries. I'm Lisa Kane and I'm recording this teaching on Sunday, June 29th, 2025. Welcome. Let's open up in a word of prayer. Father God, we thank you for your word and we bless your word. Your word will not return void. And I thank you for that. I pray for the listeners of this teaching that their hearts and minds are prepared to see, hear, receive, and believe. and that your word ministers so deep that they cannot forget nor let it go. And I thank you for changing our lives and changing who we are and transforming us so that we do delight in your word. Thank you, Father God. In the glorious mighty name of Jesus, we pray. Amen. Amen. Amen. I'm glad you can join me today for today's teaching. I'm calling it delighting in the law of the Lord. Let us go here and we're going to start in um Psalm 1:es 1 and two. Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor siteth in the seat of the scornful. So, if you are new here and this is your first time um seeing how I teach. I am called to teach the word of God. I do teach the word of God. I'm going to show you here in the King James version. The words that are in bold print are the original words in the King James version. The ones next to the bold print in parenthesis are other words the translators could have used when translating the scriptures and they just didn't do choose those words. I add that in because I want you to get the full flavor of the original text because we are speaking a different language than what it was written in. Okay. So here in Psalm, we're going to be talking about delighting in the law of the Lord. And I I want you to see something here. Blessed is the man. That word blessed means happy. Happy is the man. If you ever wonder why you're not happy, this is why. It says here, happy is the man that walketh not in the counsel or the advice of the ungodly. In other words, you're getting your advice, your counsel from the word of God. You can't get it from the word of God if you don't know the word of God. So here we are clearly seeing that one of the blessings of spending time in the Lord, delighting in his law is walking in the counsel of godly righteous truth which is the holy bible. Now there are people who live in the holy bible. can quote scriptures to you left and right. Uh you can dwell with those people. They can be good counselors for you. But the best counsel that you have as a a person in ministry or even just a person just walking in the world doing whatever you want to do, your best advice comes from the Bible. And part of the problem is that you just don't know what the Bible says. So here I want you to understand you can have happiness. You can be happy. You know, there's a lot of people who teach that you can't be because when you're suffering with Christ, you can't be happy. I'm gonna tell you right now, Paul and Silas were in prison and those prisons were in the ground and it was full of feces and what have you after they were beaten up, which I'm sure they received no medical treatment for the beatings that they took because it was intentional to hurt. Make a point to Paul and Silas. And yet they began to worship the Lord in that atmosphere. They were happy and the Lord broke them out of their prison because of that happiness. So here, blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly. Meaning you are walking in the word of God with people who are also in the word of God. And when the two or three of you get together in the word of God, there is true happiness. This is where you begin to delight. This is why we take it very serious in entering into the secret place with the Lord. That is in Psalm 91. We come into the secret place with the Lord. This is this means that we we spend time with God in his Bible away from everybody else because we're trying to learn the scriptures. We're trying to let it minister to us. We're trying to let it come out of us. That is dwelling, delighting in the law of the Lord. And I promise you this that if you're new to that and you've been a believer though for a while, but you're starting to do your daily devotions, this is more than a devotional. It really is. This is actually spending time talking to him. One, so you're praying and then hearing from him, too, which is you're reading the word of God. And what you're doing is you're allowing the Holy Spirit to work in your mind. You're allowing the scriptures to just build up. So always remember, you can have happiness because you're walking in the right standing with the Lord. So if you feel an oppression coming on and you're just not feeling like you can do anything, let me tell you straight up. You tell that oppression to get lost and you say, "Listen, I spend time with the counsel of the Lord and I am happy because I'm blessed for doing that." Psalm 1:1. And you pray that scripture into that circumstance. Bam, you got power. You You have transformation that changes and takes place in you. Amen. So look at what it says here. Let let's let's break it down. So blessed are happy is a man that walketh not in the counsel of vice of the ungodly which is morally wrong. People who are morally wrong. So let's just take a morally wrong situation. Let's say there's somebody who is a prolific uh liar. Somebody who lies all the time. You know this. You don't get advice from a liar. meaning you don't go get advice from the devil. Let's say you know somebody who is a chronic thief, a kleptomaniac. They're constantly just grabbing things and taking it with them or a hoarder or you know because and and people call it a sickness. Well, that sickness bows down to the name of Jesus, the son of the living God. This is where you stand and you stand on his word. So, you don't get advice from these who are doing that. You don't get advice from TV shows that aren't promoting the Lord Jesus. You don't get advice from the current uh social way of doing things. And my truth, my truth, I am well a man or a woman, opposite of whatever it is. I promise you, if you think you're a man, but you're biologically a woman, let me tell you something. And when you get through heaven, God is not going to address you by the sex that you want to be. He's going to address you by the sex he made you to be. This is a time where you need to get counsel from righteous, godly people. Don't go by the world. Do not follow the morally wrong situation. And by the way, I just taught last week that his righteous word, his godly righteousness is already built within our heart. We already have that righteousness. So you know what's morally wrong. Look what else it says here. Nor standeth or abide or appoint in the way of sinners. You don't stand in the way of sinners. Wait, what? What? What? Let's break this down. I want you to understand that I am called to teach the word of God. I'm going to do my best here to teach, but the one who's talking to you is the Holy Spirit. So listen very carefully to what he's saying in your mind. Listen to the scripture. Look at what he says. Blessed is a man that walk not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor abide or appoints in the way of sinners. Doesn't stand in the way of sinners. So if somebody is intentionally sinning, guess what? Stand back. Stand away. Don't stand in their path. That's between them and God. It is not for us to try to make somebody righteous or holy. We're in the flesh. And in fact, all it does is open the door for them to judge you. And they will point it out, by the way. Instead, I highly recommend you pray for them because now you're dealing with, remember, we're dealing with in Ephesians 6, powers and principalities, rulers, uh, of the air. You're dealing with that kind of thing, which means you have to deal with it in the spiritual. So, don't physically stand in the way of the path of sinners, but go before the Lord in that sacred place and pray. Pray. Pray without ceasing. As first Thessalonians 5:17 tells us, pray without ceasing. Pray. And I promise you, prayer and fasting, by the way, when you enter into that with the Lord, that breaks all those powerful principalities that are in the air and around us that we have to follow and obey. There are rules and regulations both in the physical and the spiritual. For example, I cannot walk through the wall unless it's opened. Jesus can walk on water. He broke every rule that he came when he came into his own creation. That was his creation. His creation wasn't so that we can walk on water. We swim in water. But he decided to break that rule and walk on water. And it served his purpose in the moment. And nobody's walked on water since. So, and then he called Peter out at the same time. Remember how he did that? That was Jesus showing his showing his world to us and what the power and the authority he has which by the way we are joint hes with him. I know Philillip he suddenly disappeared when he was ministering to the unic and he ended up going to another town instantaneously. That's scripture you can go read it in acts. So don't want to stand in the way of sinners. Let the Lord deal with them. Nor siteth in the seat of the scornful. Oh those that mock us. They mock us. You don't have to mock them back. You don't have to say anything. Don't stand in their way. Let them mock. By the way, they're not mocking you. They're mocking God. And let's realize what's the most important thing. We don't want anyone to go to hell. What we want is for them to get saved, which means prayer. I I cannot, you know, for the last couple of years, if not longer, I have been emphasizing spending time in the secret place with the Lord and prayer. This is the time to pray. This is why we need to change in our heart to delight in the law of the Lord. We need to delight. How do you delight in something? You let the Holy Spirit change you. you instead of getting mad and hating those that are pointing at you, you don't see their faces. Look at the demonic activity behind them. That's of the devil. That's your enemy. So delight in his law. Let the Lord change you so that you can forgive them, which stops every single attack. It stops it. The moment you forgive him, it stops that attack. Oh, I love that. That is so powerful. And we as believers have that and we can do that. So, and we can be happy about it because we walk with the Lord in the secret place with the transformation that he made in our hearts and minds. Here we are changed, transformed where we love one another and that we forgive one another. Amen. Now continuing on two verse two. But his delight is in the law of the Lord and in his law does he meditate day and night. Let's talk about the law of the Lord. We know that Jesus fulfilled the law. The law tells us we are sinners. But see, we now have a different law to follow. We follow Jesus and he is the one who shows love. He shows mercy. He will forgive anyone of anything ever. That is the opportunity that we have. And notice what it says here. It says to meditate day and night. How do you meditate on Sunday? It's got to be in your thoughts. You got to be thinking about it. And how do you think about it? You are constantly remembering his word. You Sometimes I'll as I'm going to sleep at night, I don't fall asleep right away. I'll be laying there and I'll think of an event like Jesus walking on water and visualizing trying to visualize Peter coming out of that that boat to get on the water wondering how big the boat was. What what was he doing at that time? I mean, how was he feeling at that time? He looked like he was scared, but he had his eyes fixed on Jesus. And as he was walking with Jesus and he was meditating. See he was focused on Jesus then he can walk on the water. The law of the spirit realm that Jesus has given us as joint hes. You know the power of our tongue we can speak blessings or cursings. This is why it's very important to allow the Lord to change us by meditating, delighting in his law so that we can be the overcomer and stop the attacks and be happy about it. That's that's a blessing that we have. Look what it says here in Psalm 37:4. Delight thyself also in the Lord, and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart. I'm going to tell you right now, I don't like it when somebody mocks me or scorns me. I don't like that. But see, because I forgave them, it stopped. I had the desire in my heart. But the desire of my heart had to change because I had to meditate on him to find out what that was. Otherwise, I I would not have known that. And maybe a preacher is preaching it out there. I don't know. All I know is that I found out because I spent time in the word of God. Oh, hallelujah. Hallelujah. Going back to Psalm 1 in verse three. And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water that bringeth forth his fruit in his season. You see, there's a time to meditate and there's a time to be in that peaceful moment. You're at peace when you're meditating. You're delighting in the law. You're reading his word and it thrills you. And what it does, you become so relaxed physically because you have entered into a peaceful calming moment where all hell may be breaking out in the world, but you are in this peaceful moment. You're like a tree planted by a river. And as your fruit grows and matures, because now you're beginning to love others because God, you can't love without God. You have to have his love enter you. That's a fruit of the spirit. Same with self-control. All of these fruits have to manifest out of you. How do they do that? You have to let them grow. So, it has to be a seed that planted. I had the epiphany that God loves terrorists just as much as he loves me. And I'm going to tell you that was a very strong epiphany. That was a seed. That was just the seed. And the fruit gets bigger and bigger because now that I pray for them because I love them, because my Lord loves them, it changes the dynamics of everything. And I'm at peace. I am happy. I am delighted to be in that. And I become more of this tree and the fruits hanging on my branches. And guess what happens as I go places that fruit is available and it's eye-catching. It's very tantalizing. Somebody wants to grab it. They want to say, "What is it that you have?" Because when you're at peace like that, there's no sin. There's no corruption within your your bones. You are healed. You're happy. Being happy is having good health. Being happy is having him manifest out of you. And it is just absolutely thrilling. I love that. And it says here, "His leaf also shall not wither." Now you've got these glossy leaves there. It's very attractive. You're not withering. And people see it, they know it, they want it. And then they ask you, "What is it that you do? How do you do this?" And I tell them I delight in his law. I meditate day and night in the you know the first thing what I do when I wake up every morning is I pray and read my Bible. The second thing I do at the end of the day is I read and pray my Bible before I go to sleep. So before I wake or when I wake and when I sleep those are the times I spend with the Lord. And that's not the only time. Believe you and me throughout the day I am dealing there I I deal with all kinds of things but there's a lot of spiritual and physical things that we deal with every day. You have to pray every day and I'm an intercessory prayer warrior. I go in and I am praying. And so I don't just pray for the things I'm obligated to pray for that I've committed to with the Lord, but I also pray for things that the Lord brings in my way because I'm already happy and I'm hoping they would be happy too. I want people to experience the love of God. Because see, once you know the love of God, it changes your whole perspective of what the word of God is, how the Bible works, and it it helps you understand end time prophecy better because it just makes more sense. Because when you see his love move, now you know what God is going to do because he walks in his own love. Oh, hallelujah. and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper. I prosper. I love this. That word prosper there means push forward or break out. So whatever you're you're going to break out of it. So if somebody's scoffing you and mocking you and you forgive them and you pray for them, whether in secret or just as a confrontation, whatever it is, you're breaking out of that. You're saying that is not going to bind me. I am not going to live in bondage to that. Oh hallelujah. That is what is so incredible when you can break out of that. You're happy because you're delighting in the word of God and you're putting him first because he's taught you that because of the transformation he has made in you. Your fruit is growing and it's multiplying and now you're also starting to walk with the gifts of the Holy Spirit. This is delighting in the law of the Lord. Verse four, the ungodly are not so, but are like the shaft which the wind driveth away. You know, when you um go to Israel or pretty much anywhere uh when they're harvesting the wheat and the tears, the one floats, that's the tears. The wheat goes down to the ground. So, they blow it up to the wind to separate the two. So, the ungodly are people who are morally wrong. They're going to with with the social lies and latest teaching, they're going to fall for it left and right. The latest things, what is a woman? Can't identify a woman. So now you ask, well, what is a woman? Something we all knew when we were toddlers. We were taught who's a girl, who's a boy, how we knew the difference. And yet today, I don't know what a woman is or I don't know what a man is. they have this. So, they go with the wind. They go with the latest doctrine, whatever it may be. That's morally wrong. And they're not going to be happy. They're not going to know who God is. They're suffering from that. But yet, all of us who choose to delight in the law, meditate in his presence, we begin to know who God is. And look at what Jeremiah 29:11 says. For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, sayeth the Lord. Thoughts of peace and not of evil to give you an expected end. Love that expected end. That's a hope. You have a hope because he's hoping in you. He's trying to convince you. And see, the more time you spend with him, man, it's so motivating. It's uplifting. You just you can't help yourself. You've got to put God first. And you got to go get back go back to get more because you're thirsty and hungry. who want more of him and become you kind of become addicted to his word. You delight in it and it is so happy making. It is so peacemaking and you're prosperous at the same time. Look at what Psalm 35:27 says. Let them shout for joy and be glad that favor my righteous cause. Yeah. Let them say continually, let the Lord be magnified, which hath pleasure in the prosperity of his servant. You see, God has pleasure in knowing that you're safe and at peace. That's his delight. His delight is in you when you have safety and peace. That is the God of whom we serve. And you get to learn that and know that because you're spending time with him. You make him a priority. Remember what Matthew 6:33 says, "Seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness." You can't walk in the kingdom of God unless you're meditating on his word. You can't be righteous unless his righteousness is in you because you know you're forgiven and he has covered you. Then all these things will be added unto you. You have the right to be blessed. You have the right to be happy, safe, and at peace. That is what God wants for you. And don't let anyone ever tell you that. Now, some people think, "Well, in order for me to be happy, I have to have money." No, you don't. Now, I will tell you this much that God does give righteous people financial blessings, too. Don't tell them you can't have financial freedom. You You can God put you in ministry for that. Not everyone can have that, but some can. Because some people just give out money like it's nothing, like it's just candy, whereas some others will hoard it. There's a big difference in the heart of the two. Again, we're talking about being or delighting in the law of the Lord where we're happy. So, it isn't about the money. It's about him who provides peace and safety. And he makes certain that we're at peace and safety. Going back to chapter one in Psalm verse 5, therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment. Look at this. This is very interesting. Therefore, the ungodly who are morally wrong, these are the morally wrong people, shall not stand in the verdict. Let let me make something very clear about this scripture so that you have an understanding. There are two different judgments in the world. Uh the moment you die, you're judged. And this is where you're going to be judged where your name is written in the books lamb's book of life or not. If it isn't, you automatically are out of the presence of the Lord and you are in hell. But then everyone's going to be taken out of hell and they will be judged in the end. And all the righteous people who do not have to go through that judgment will be showing the interactions that we tried to get you saved. We tried to show you the word but you kept rejecting, rejecting, rejecting. That's going to be on you and then you're going to go back to hell after that. So there's that type of judgment. Then there's the type of judgment for the righteous where again if our name's written in the lamb's book of life, we're going to be there's a burning fire that goes around and whether wood, hay, stubble, all that will burn away. But what we have in gold or or precious metals will survive. Our crown of salvation will be there. Our crown of righteousness will be there. We will have those blessings and that's a different kind of judgment. So you cannot be judged or get to that point of judgment if you can't even pass the lamb's book of life by calling on the name of the Lord. So this is a time where we need to repent and say Lord save us. And then as for the rest of us who are delighting in the Lord we need to be interceding for those and saying Lord here I'm going hold their hand spiritually with mine and say Lord come into our hearts and be our Lord and Savior. You can intercede and intervene on their behalf in the spirit because whatever you loose in heaven is loosed on earth. Whatever you bind in heaven is bound on earth. We have that authority as co uh co-join hes with Christ. Amen. Hallelujah. Um nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous. You see there's a big difference here. So therefore, the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous. They don't want to congregate with you because you stand for God. They're going to mock you. Oh, you holier than thou person. Well, thank you very much. I take it as a compliment. They didn't mean it that way. But you see, when you're delighting in the Lord, you're happy and at peace. They cannot be and they cannot even stand to be in your presence because God is manifesting himself through you. Amen. Verse six, for the Lord knoweth the way of the righteous, but the way of the ungodly shall perish. The Lord knoweth the He recognizes the way of the righteous. He recognizes who we are. He knows because if you know him, he knows you because you two are meditating together, delighting in his law. He is teaching you. He knows you and you know him. Question I have for you is, are you sure he knows you? Are you spending time with him? Are you delighted? Are you even happy? Can you even say that you're happy? It takes knowing the Lord and letting him manifest in you for that happiness. And then look what it says here. Uh but the way of the ungodly shall perish or loses oneself. This is why they can't identify who even they are. They don't know if they're a woman. They don't know if they're a man. They don't know because they're not delighting in the law of the Lord. So they are going, they are losing their selves. They're perishing. And it's because they're not delighting in the law of the Lord, letting him transform them and change them. Proverbs 16:27, "An ungodly man digth up evil evil or he plots evil and in his lips there's a burning fire." You see, an ungodly man is just thinking about ways of how to hurt you, how to hurt other people because he's hurt. He or she is hurting. They want to hurt you so that you are at their level because they don't want to strive to get to your level. But see, keep delighting in the law of the Lord. Keep meditating in his presence because that's where you're going to be happy. And that's where you can pray for them. This is a time to pray for your loved ones, family members that scoff and mock you because family members do that. Uh co-workers, they laugh at what you believe in. That's what their intent is is to bring you down to their level and then try to usurp themselves above you and but that's not the way of the Lord. The way of the Lord is when you delight in his word. Psalm 98 and he shall judge the world in righteousness. He shall minister judgment to the people in uprightness. You see, God is already he's their judge. He's going to judge them. Not you and me. You and I are going to stand in the presence of the Lord and we're going to partner with him and maybe someday rule. That is scriptural. I know that the martyrs will at the end of Revelation there. But I know how much he loves us. He loves us so much that he wants to spend time with you. And when you spend time with him, you will be happy. You will have peace and you will be safe. You don't have to live in the drama of this world. Amen. Let's close in a word of prayer. Father God, we thank you for your word, and we bless your word. Your word is worthy, faithful, true, and honorable. And it it makes me hunger and thirst more for you. It's very addicting, Father God. And I thank you for that. I rather walk in right standing with you and pray for others because you have love for them. and your love for me is so great that I just am so thankful for it. Thank you for your word. Thank you for your presence. And thank you for transforming me in as I spend time with you in the secret place. Thank you for that transformation because I'm letting your love manifest out of me. And I'm just praying that others will see that and will spend time with you and ask for that love to be in their heart as well. Thank you, Lord. In the glorious name of Jesus we pray. Amen. Amen. Amen. God bless you. I will see you in the next teaching. Home Previous Next

THE PARDON The objective of this message is to teach believers about the meaning and power of Christ’s pardon—His remission of sins through the shedding of His blood.

It aims to help listeners consciously understand their forgiveness, live in freedom from sin, and embrace their sanctification and justification through Christ. < Back THE PARDON Minister Lisa Kane May 28, 2023 Objective: The objective of this message is to teach believers about the meaning and power of Christ’s pardon—His remission of sins through the shedding of His blood. The teaching seeks to build boldness and confidence in approaching God, demonstrating how Jesus’ sacrifice tore the veil, granting direct access to the Holy of Holies. It aims to help listeners consciously understand their forgiveness, live in freedom from sin, and embrace their sanctification and justification through Christ. Synopsis: In “The Pardon,” Lisa Kane explains the profound significance of Jesus’ sacrifice as the ultimate high priest, sacrificial lamb, and returning king. Drawing primarily from Hebrews chapters 9 and 10, the message begins by comparing the Old Testament system of sacrifices—where priests offered the blood of animals once a year in the Holy of Holies—with the New Covenant established through Christ’s own blood. The tearing of the temple veil at Jesus’ crucifixion symbolizes believers’ direct access to God’s presence. Lisa highlights that the remission of sins, or pardon, is more than forgiveness—it is a complete cancellation of guilt, secured once for all through Christ’s blood. Unlike the temporary covering of sins in the old system, Jesus’ sacrifice brought eternal redemption, justification, and sanctification. Believers are encouraged to boldly enter God’s throne room, knowing that His pardon makes them righteous and grants authority to live transformed lives. The message also emphasizes the importance of allowing this truth to penetrate the conscience, leading to a deep awareness of being forgiven and loved. Through testimonies, scripture references, and practical applications, Lisa urges listeners to live as walking testimonies of God’s pardon—ministering His grace to others and boldly claiming His promises in every area of life. The teaching concludes with a call to embrace this covenant of love and approach God with confidence, trusting that He is faithful and His pardon is eternal. Inspired Teaching: Hello and welcome to the House of Faith Ministries. I'm Lisa Kane and I'm recording this on Sunday, May 28th, 2023. Welcome. This message is called the pardon. Let's open up a word of prayer. Father God, we thank you for your word. We thank you for your anointing. We thank you for your presence, Lord. I bless this word and I ask for your blessing on it. And I pray that it is spoken eloquently through your Holy Spirit, Father God. And I pray that people understand the boldness and the confidence that they can enter into the Holy of Holies with your pardon, Father God. That they can go boldly before you and just say, "Lord," and then whatever it is that they need, their needs will be met and they will be saved. Thank you, Father God, for showing them your word and showing them the boldness and the confidence that they can have entering into your Holy of Holies. In the name of Jesus, amen. Amen. Amen. Let's go into our opening scripture here. We're going to be in Hebrews mostly 9 and 10. Uh but this is going to be our final scripture as well as our opening scripture. Now where there is remission of these meaning remission of sins, there is no longer an offering for sin. Now the word remission there means pardon. It's like a governor pardoning someone who's been accused and has served some amount of time in jail. The the whole point of Jesus doing his remission, which is giving him his blood. We're going to talk about that here in a moment. He pardoned us. Pardon us. And he basically forgave us and we can be forgiven over and over and over and we're forgiven for a lifetime whether we choose to live for Christ or not. God blesses with healing. Sometimes he heals unbelievers and they will never believe. However, God knows the heart of men and he works with them. Amen. So, here we are. Look at this again. And I want to show it to you. Now, this is Hebrews 10:18. Now, where there is remission or pardon of these, there is no longer an offering of sin. So, let's talk about the offering. the temple. The um when Moses was given the directions of creating a tabernacle, he had been given specific instructions of what to make, even including all the utensils and everything that was part of the tabernacle. So basically, he built a moving tabernacle with a tent across the wilderness for 40 years. So that was built within that. Solomon built his temple later on. Um and then a second temple was built after Solomon. And then we had we're going to have a third temple built here. Now in this temple, it's kind of interesting how this was set up. There's a front room and a back room. When you walk in through the festival, the front room is right there and it had the lampstand which is the manora, the word which is the first five books of the Torah and uh the showbread that is what was in this room and this is where the normal daily priest would do their normal activities. That's how they operated was in this room. Well, next to that room was a veil and that veil was a very thick veil. Very, very thick. No one could cross it except the high priest once a year to ask mercy over the nation of Israel. And inside the holy of holies was the ark of the covenant. And the ark of the covenant is if you go read David and how he brought it to the to the city of David. One man touched it accidentally. He was killed. The ark of the covenant would bless whomever it laid whomever had it. So I think the city of Gan ended up having it for a while. They were blessed immensely as far as I can understand from scripture. So th this is how the holy of holies worked. That was the communication. This is God's spirit here in this box. So well and in those days too when a priest would make his daily sacrifice. He would sacrifice the rams and the bull blood and all that stuff. Well he had to take that in once a year to this holy of holies. And the ark of the covenant had a mercy seat sitting on it. So basically, he was putting the blood of bulls and the blood of rams on this mercy seat to ask for forgiveness, which God didn't really want that. He wanted his son's blood, which we're going to get to here in a moment. But here, he's laying the blood down. And as I understand it, he laid it on one side of the mercy seat and the other side was for the blood of the son of God, the Messiah that was coming. So they had kept it separate. But um this was such a I you know I want you to understand something here because we're going to be talking about going into boldness and the confidence with our pardon and going into that holy of holies. You see no one could enter that holy of holies until Jesus tore the veil. We're going to get to that. But when the high priest would go in once a year, they put bells on the bottom of his robes and they tied a rope around his ankle. Why? Because if he died in there, how else were they going to get his body out? And sometimes he would die and so they'd pull his body out. Either God rejected their their sacrifice or whatever the circumstance it was. It was between that priest, the nation of Israel and God at that time. But that's how this operated. So now let's go a little further because I want you to see how the pardon affected all of that which was all Old Testament and then it changed into the New Testament. So we're going to go to Hebrews. We're going to look in chapter 9 11-2. But Christ came as high priest of the good things to come. Let's pause here for a moment and understand, realize that Christ is the priest, the Messiah. He's the ultimate sacrifice. So in essence, he came for three roles. I always preach two roles, but I'm going to go here and go a little bolder here. So he came as a priest. He's the one who took his blood, his own blood, because he also came as a sacrifice to put on the holy of holies, the mercy seat or in the holy of holies on the mercy seat. And he's going to come back as king. So he had a threefold role that I know of just at at the time of this teaching. And so here that boldness, Jesus had to do all this. So look at what Paul is saying here in Hebrews. But Christ came as high priest of the good things to come. Because he's telling the Israelites, I know that you crucified him. You rejected him. But I'm letting you know that you can get salvation still and you can repent and have a pardon. This is what Paul is trying to teach the Hebrews. So as he's trying to teach us, he's letting them know, listen, he came as a priest first. He had to come as a priest first. So watch this. to come with the greater and more perfect tabernacle not made with hands that is not of this creation. He knew Jesus is the one who wrote the entire Bible and provided the right words to the authors at any time that they wrote throughout the years. So the Jesus is the author of the holy word of God. He's the one who engineered this all. He's the one who said, "Let there be light." And because he was doing that, he was preparing the old history. These are not stories. These are events that took place. He's preparing these old events as a foreshadow of what is to come. The Messiah himself. This is what Paul is uh referring to. He had a he had a tabernacle in heaven, not made with hands. It's not of this creation. And it's in another world, another dimension, the heavenly realm, not here on earth. But what we now he had to fulfill both. He had to fill the heavenly one, he had to fulfill the earthly one because Moses anointed the earthly one with blood and made a covenant and a covering over them. So he had to fulfill he Jesus was a very busy person at this time. Amen. Let's continue on. Now we're in verse 12. Not with the blood of goats and calves, which is what, by the way, I'm going to pause here. Which is what Moses sanctified the Holy of Holies, the Ark of the Covenant, the first five books of the Torah, the Bible, he had anointed it all with blood. All the utensils, the curtains, the walls. He anointed it with blood. Blood of what? Goats and calves. But now look at what Jesus does. Not with the blood of goats and calavs, but with his own blood, he entered the most holy place once for all, having obtained eternal redemption. So, here's Jesus. He's on the cross. He's about to die. He can't die. Why can't he die? He has no sin in him. There's no sin in the Messiah from birth to the point of death. What God had to do was pour sin out on top of him. And here's what's mo most amazing. Okay, so the need is met now for death because you got to have the blood sacrifice. We're going to see how death was a huge role in this. Why Jesus had to die because he could have just walked off that cross and kept going if he wanted to. He had the power and the authority to do it. He chose not to because he knew he had to give you a pardon. He came for the remission of sins. The word remission means pardon. He pardoned the sins. So understand because he pardoned them, he had to die. So when the sins was placed on his body, the blood saw it and cleansed it, but it allowed him to die. It allowed the blood go onto the mercy seat, and it allowed him to fulfill the promise, which is pardon of the sins, remission of the sins. That's what Jesus did. He had to do it and the blood had to be done for that. Let's continue on now. Look at So, oh, and so what happens here something remarkable. His blood comes out of his body, drips down, and either an angel collects it and takes it to the mercy seat, lays it on there, where you can also believe Ron Wyatt's story where he talks about finding the ark of the covenant underneath where the cross was and that his blood came down. Let's read the scripture because I want you to see how Ron Wyatt makes sense, but at the same time, the angel of God being there as well. Look at this. Matthew 27:51-53. Then behold, the veil of the temple was torn into from top to bottom, and the earthquake, and the rocks were split, and the graves were open, and many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised. And coming out of the graves after his resurrection, they went into the holy city and appeared to many. Your spirit should be jumping out of its skin right now because of what that moment did, which is what I was just talking about. So when his blood came down, the angel collects it, pours it on the mercy seat. Well, in the physical, what happened on the earth, which is what Ron Wyatt saw, the earthquake, it opened up a shaft or a big enough crack for the blood to flow through and land on the perfect part of the mercy seat, which was the other side of where the bulls and the rams were. Their blood, their dried blood was, but his blood basically anointed the mercy seat. And because it's so alive, did you see how many graves opened up around it? Oh my goodness. Just think of an aunt or an uncle that had been buried within days or weeks and they come out of their grave and they go into the people's houses and they start sharing the word of God. This man came, he saved me and he brought me back to life. Oh, it's amazing. But remember, Lazarus was brought back to life when Jesus was alive still and Lazarus had to die again later on. Death is a part of the mystery of this life of the blood of life. Life cannot stay dead. Now, I don't want to teach on that. I don't want to get caught up into all of that, but it was necessary. Look at what Hebrews uh 9:16-18 says. For where there is a testament, there must also of necessity be the death of the testator, that's Jesus. For a testament is in force after men are dead, since it has no power at all while the testator lives. Therefore, not even the first covenant was dedicated without blood. Uh he's referring to um Moses and anointing uh all of the things with blood. He had to do it in the past. Jesus had to do it here. The blood became the testimony. That is what the testament is. Jesus had to die. The man had to die. The man who knew no sin had to die by having sin poured on him. But his blood was so pure that it just purified that sin and created a pardon that you and I can have here and now today. This is incredible. Look at how he purifies this with his blood. Hebrews 9:22. And according to the law, almost all things are purified with blood. And with without shedding of blood, there is no remission, no pardon. So here, the blood had to come out of Jesus. And no, he couldn't just cut it and leave a little bit. He actually had to die. And he did because he became that walking testimony that you and I, the bride of Christ, now preaches to all the earth. We're called to preach and teach the word of God to everyone. Whether you're doing it like I am, whether you're doing it behind a pulpit or whether you're doing it in your daily life where you just smile at someone, listen to them, pray with them, show them how God ministers to you. You're a walking testimony and that pardon shows off to people because that's what the blood of Christ did. It minister. And by the way, if you don't do it, the rocks will. You can go read on that. I'm going to leave that to you, a mystery to you to go research. You got to get in the word of God and you got to understand how that blood changes you. You You see, you have this encounter with this perfect grace, perfection. That's what Jesus, you know, I understand that people love the earth and look at it and see it as beautiful. It was made extremely beautiful. This is ugly compared to what it was when Adam lived. That was perfect utopia then. And I understand people want to go back to that. But the next perfect thing because that got corrupted and and fell is Jesus. Jesus was the only perfect thing after that was it. And his blood had to cleanse all the sin in the world. Imagine you lied. You stole. You killed someone. Imagine having a pardon from the governor, from the almighty God himself, where the devil can't even bring up your past sins to you or anyone else anymore because Jesus says, "I don't see it. It's got blood on it. I see blood." And it's the blood that caused the remission of sins, the pardon to come into existence. Oh, you guys got to get that. Let's continue on here in verse 24. For Christ has not entered the holy places made with hands which are copies of the true, but into heaven itself now to appear in the presence of God for us. So Jesus is he had to ascend. We're going to see the witness of that in just a moment. So he shed his but he had to die because he became a testimony and he says here here's my pardon. Take it. Take it. I'm going to forgive you. Get as many as you can. and get as many as you can. He says, "I'm going to go up and I'm going to defend you and make a place. I'm going to prepare a place for you." And that is what Jesus is doing. So, he is up there. You've got to see how he did this. This pardon is for you and me today because look at what he did. He ascended. Acts 1:9. Now, when he has spoken these things while they watched, he was taken up and a cloud received him out of their sight. He was taken to heavenly father. He is the way, the truth, and the life. No man comes to the father except through him. So he left us his blood though. It got placed on the mercy seat in the earthly realm. He got placed in the heavenly temple tabernacle. So his blood physically is in both places. So you and I get to say Jesus and you grab hold of your your pardon. And the moment you do, because you believe, remember what Romans 10:9 says, that if you confess with your mouth, Jesus is Lord and believe with your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. That is how the pardon works. And boy, that gives you all kinds of things that you can do. But it has to affect the conscience. It has to you got to get it on the inside. Let's continue on in scripture. I want to show you more things here. Hebrews 9:26, 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. I understand that some of you are going to receive and believe and run with this. You're going to go through the greatest transformation you've ever had in your life. Because when you encounter the grace of God at this level and you realize that every one of your sins is forgi forgiven because of the pardon, you just will never be the same. I there's an acknowledgment in your conscience, in your soul that says Jesus saved me. And boy, it it just radic radically changes. It transforms you. I understand that some people are not going to understand. They're not going to believe. They're not going to be able to accept. They They don't get it. They want to say, "Well, I've got to do penance. I got to do so many Hail Marys. I got to get on my knees." When God says it's the grace of God, his pardon is what does it. And I'm sorry if you're hearing the pool. I've got the windows open. And that's the the pump in the pool cleaning the pool. And it sounds like a little monster. So, it's not a demonic thing. It's the pool. Sorry, should have closed the window before I started this. But you have this pardon and some people just can't grasp that. I mean, look at Now, I know the Philippines is interesting how they do Easter. They get uh they they sacrifice they they hang themselves to a cross to go through the experience of what Jesus went to. But you don't have to do that. Look at the thief on the cross. All he said was, um, "Hey, this guy's innocent. I'm the one who's guilty." And then he tells Jesus, "Remember me when you enter your kingdom." And that guy, Jesus says, "I promise you, you and I will be in paradise together tonight." So they got, you know, the salvation, that sanctification is so simple and yet it boggles and deceives some of the minds of the people because they think they have to work hard or, you know, look what they did with Trump. how much they hated him that they voted Biden. And we we're in our situation that we're in uh economically and politically. But look at what they did to Trump. They hated him so much that they rejected something good that would build the country back up. Imagine them rejecting Jesus because they hate him. You don't like my lifestyle. you don't like that I acknowledge as a male or a female or genderless or whatever it may be. But I promise you on the day of judgment and if you're there, God isn't going to acknowledge your gender. He's going to acknowledge you how he created you, which was perfect. And he's known you from the womb in absolute perfection. So, I'm letting you know here and now. Even though you may reject initially, I want you to hear this. I want you to understand this. Even though you may reject initially, that grace will be there until the day of the Lord, until his return. So, now is the time to continue and get back in there and grab that grace. And you may have already grabbed that grace. You've drifted off. You have your pardon, but you don't know how to use it. and you go to church, but you're you're suffering when you shouldn't be because Christians in Christ should not ever suffer. You should always have a peace and joy. It's a lack of understanding. So, it's now time to grow into the word and to live the word and begin to understand what that word means for you. So this once in a lifetime event that Christ did only once so powerful. He saved you from sin. And if you go the rest of your life, you you activated your pardon. You said Jesus and he saved you and you choose to walk another way. I do promise you this. Jesus will not lose one. He will find you and he will get you. You want to keep running. He's a perfect gentleman. He will honor your respect, your your u your choice. I promise you, you would never walk away from this kind of grace that is right in front of you. Especially if you're someone who's ever spent time in jail or someone you know is in jail, that pardon comes in handy. grab it and utilize it. Now, I'm going to show you how to utilize it here very shortly. Let's continue on. Hebrews 10. Now, we're in verses 12- 18. But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down at the right hand of God. Remember, he ascended. And because he ascended and he did it once, now he sits at the right hand of God. He's our lawyer. He defends us because Satan is still out there trying to defeat us, which he can't. Verse 13, from that time waiting till his enemies are made his foottool. He's going to keep doing this until the enemies are made his foot foottool. Let's continue on. Verse 14. For by one offering he has perfected forever those who are being sanctified. Notice he uses the word being. Let's go back. Let's double check that being. Sanctification is getting saved. It is separate from justification. But you need sanctification, saving in order to enter justification. But the man on the cross never ever got past the sanctification. He he died on the cross, saved, but he did not ever understand or nor did he ever use justific. He never had to to understand that he was justified, that he was right because he got saved. Every time you confess and repent, think of it like this. We're talking about the blood here. We're talking about the uh the remission of sim pardon. When you have holy communion, you eat of the cracker. You drink of the blood and it represents bo uh body of Christ. Anyways, as you drink that, that blood becomes that and and Paul tells you to make sure that you're worthy before that. How do you get worthy? You repent. I'm grabbing your pardon, Lord Jesus. I believe you and I ask you to save me. You grab that. That's your sanctification. And I'm promising you, you can never lose it. You might not understand it fully on your conscience. You may not live it right away because there's a transformation that takes place, which is what leads into your justification. Now, as you grow spiritually, you begin to understand that you're justified. You know, when COVID came and I was reading uh Psalm 91, I'm looking at the scripture and I'm reading it. I go, God, I should never have gotten CO. And I mean, I went boldly before the Lord because I know my sins were forgiven. I've been spending secret time in the Lord, which is what Psalm 91 tells you to do. And then sickness is supposed to flee. Well, then I got healed and I was fully healed with no ramifications or consequences to any of that. Why? because I went boldly to the throne with my pardon and I said I should not have to have any fruit coming out of that. That's a dead thing and I do not want it. I'm healed and I'm saved. And Jesus said, "Yeah, you're right." And he made it happen. That is justification now. Cuz see, in your conscience, you're finally understanding, wait a minute, I've got a pardon. I've got the blood of Jesus. I I can go to him and tell him what his word says because see, I'm choosing to dwell in that word. I'm choosing to let that word live in me. I'm choosing to read it and speak it whether I understand it or not. And there are things this message I didn't quite understand when the Lord started me on this journey. This was yesterday. Started in Ezekiel 44. Notice that's not in this message, but it was the start and it got me here. Talking about salvation, talking about the remission of sins, the blood, the pardon that we have, and the boldness and the confidence we can go into throne room with. It happened that way because I was spending time with the Lord, which gives me the justification. And by the way, if you're a new believer in Christ and you're not doing that yet, you're justified. Why? Because you have no sin on you. Because the blood covers you. And because you're covered by the blood. Hey Jesus, I don't need to have this guy on my back. I don't need to be on drugs. I don't need to be in sin anymore. I don't need this. I don't need that. I'm healed. And he says, "Yes, you are finally got you here. Let's get you." And he moves you forward. That's how this works. This is why I wanted to teach in the garden. I want you to understand once you grab a hold of this, you walk into that that forgiveness and and you grab it and you say, "I'm not letting go. This is the most important thing on the face of the universe is the blood of Jesus. [Music] By one offering, for by one offering he has perfected forever those who are being sanctified." Look at this. Verse 15. But the Holy Spirit also witnesses to us. For after he had said before, this is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, says the Lord. I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds I will write them. Then he adds, "Their sins and their lawless deeds I will remember no more. Now where there is remission, pardon of these, there is no longer an offering for sin." Oh, how beautiful. You see now this this is why I had to get in the conscience. This is why you have to understand when you speak and you say Lord Jesus and you have his pardon. You say, you know what, Lord, forgive me. He does because he will forgive you of anything. The you know there there's a scripture talks about an unforgivable sin, but that's when you die. Once you're dead, you cannot be saved after the fact. So you have to be saved before. Once you have your pardon, now you get to move forward with the Lord under that covenant that he made, which puts into your heart and your mind his laws. You see, the ten commandments were fulfilled. But what was the new commandment? Jesus said, "Let us love one another as you would yourself. Love your neighbor as yourself." These he's talking about love. And we know that here in the end times according to Matthew 24:25, love grows cold. That's what's happening here. So we have to understand that that pardon puts us into a covenant with God where we get to go into the Holy of Holies. Let's look at that tabernacle. Now Jesus tore the veil in two. Now it becomes one room where every priest, you're a priest, I'm a priestess. Every priest now operates in that room. And guess what? I get to walk right up to that throne room to the Holy of Holies with my pardon. It's on. I got it. Crown of salvation. That whatever you want to consider it to be. You just go up and say, "Lord Jesus, you're Lord over my life. You're Lord over my finances. You're Lord over my teachings. You are Lord over my body. You are Lord. You are Lord. You are Lord. And you see, you speak, you confess, you prophesy because consciously consciously you understand and know your pardon allows you to go into that Holy of Holies where remember in the Old Testament a high priest can only go in once a year and he didn't always make it out. But now we get to walk into his presence. Hey, daddy. Lord Jesus, father. I need some peace today. I'm going to need it. Lord, extra dose today, please. Whatever your situation is. If there's a beautiful plant that you love, Lord, take the plant to the Lord. Can you heal it for me? I a bird crashed into a window at work one time, and my boss thought it was it was on its body. He wasn't on his feet and it it hit hard and knocked itself out. And my boss walked away and I looked at that bird and this was a handful of years ago. I said, "Lord, heal this bird. He's part of your creation. He's part of what you got going on." And you know, five minutes go by, check on him. Now, he was standing up on his legs and one leg like he's sleeping, but he's uh he's hurt, but he's going through the healing process. And within 15 minutes, this bird woke up, looked around, and flew away. You see, the world will think it's dead. But you know that there's life in the blood because you have your part in that you get to go straight to the creator, the almighty. You get to boldly go to him. Look at this. Look at this. Hebrews 10:19-23. Therefore, brethren, having boldness to enter the holiest by the blood of Jesus, by a new and living way, which he consecrated for us through the veil, that is his flesh. Uh, let's pause there for a moment. There's so much in this teaching around around the temple, and I'm just touching the surface, but there's the temple's veil is torn in two. He just said that the flesh was Jesus. It was torn in two because the blood had to come out of him to cleanse the sin. Got to get that verse 20. By a new and living way which he consecrated for us through the veil that is his flesh. And having a high priest over the house of God, let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith. Having our hearts sprinkled sprinkled with what? Sprinkled with blood. The pardon is on us. We're covered. We have the helmet of salvation. The blood of Jesus has been sprinkled on us from an evil conscience. Now, you see how your conscience has to grab it and get a hold of it because you're changed all of a sudden. And you should be thinking, "Wow, that's it. I just had to ask him to forgive me. And now I can go to the greatest creator. I can ask him for better weather. I can ask him for better finances. I can ask him for a better new home. Yes. Yes. And yes, and yes to even more than that. Imagine, look at Solomon. He asked for wisdom. Imagine asking for wisdom. Imagine asking for knowledge. Imagine reading the word and finding out more about who God is because you're curious. Now, who is this guy? And who is this God? Well, you know, why is he interested in me? Why did he go through and give me this power and authority? I've I messed up and he's letting me do this. Yeah, that's the kind of God I serve. This is why I believe you can't lose your salvation because God is God. God is love. He for God so loved the world, he sent his only begotten son, Jesus, to do exactly what I'm talking about here. Since Jesus did it because Jesus was obedient. Now look it. We have life. We have a pardon. We have the blood on us. We're forgiven. And now we get to go to the greatest being ever, ever, ever, and boldly go talk to him. And sometimes, you know, if you're lonely in this earth, all it takes is just, "Hey, God, I got a few minutes and I'm kind of bored. I'm lonely. This isn't the only time I want to talk to you, but I'm going to sit here and talk to you because I don't want to be alone. I'm not alone. You're with me. You're always with me. Do you see now the transformation that takes place in the mind, the conscious, because now you're consciously thinking, I'm curious what God says about this. Let me go find out. And you get to finally get your answers. And for those of you who go asking the world for your answers, you're looking in the wrong place. The Bible has every answer. And if you think you're too stupid or too dumb to read or understand the Bible, I beg to differ. You are not. God made you perfect. He made you holy. He made you to be a child of the most high. You are his child. And you know what? He wants to teach you. And sometimes it's just spiritual things going in your mind and how much you said you were dumb. All of that is keeping you from understanding when all you have to go back is, "Lord, I make you Lord Jesus over my dumbness, over my stupidness, because I'm not going to be that anymore. I'm going to understand because of your word." Now, imagine the breakthrough, the mental breakthrough there. Imagine the breakthrough you will have in your life. Lord, I I lift my husband to you. I lift my children to you because you know what, Lord? You said to give them to you. I cast my cares. I care for them. I love them. I want to see them consciously come to you. And the spirit of God will move because that's more important than anything else in this world. Amen. Let's continue on here. Uh and having a high priest over the house of God. Verse 22, let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water. Pure water, by the way, is the living word of God. Start reading it. Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering. For he who promised is faithful. This is so important. He kept his promise. Jesus kept his promise. Jesus went to the cross for his son, for for his father, and he said, "I will do it. I'm going to save these people because I love them just like you love them. Jesus said, "If you know me, you know my father. Jesus is just like his father. If you know me, you know Jesus." Because I'm trying to emulate Jesus in all that I do. This is how it starts. It starts consciously. And it says, I say to my conscience, to my soul, "Hey, you got a way out. Here's the blood." And so I go and I boldly say it. And now I'm sanctified. How could I be considered sanct a saint? I was a sinner. But that is exactly what Jesus wants us to be like. But then he goes a little further and says, now that you're humbled, now that you've repented, now you're justified Previous Next Home
- ALTERING THE OUTCOME | House of Faith Ministries (HoFM)
ALTERING THE OUTCOME The purpose of this teaching is to reveal the authority believers in Christ have through the spoken Word of God to alter the outcome of their circumstances. By understanding the power of faith-filled confession and the indwelling Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead, Christians can overcome fear, sickness, and adversity, walking in victory and freedom as children of God. ALTERING THE OUTCOME Minister Lisa Kane December 8, 2024 Objective: The purpose of this teaching is to reveal the authority believers in Christ have through the spoken Word of God to alter the outcome of their circumstances. By understanding the power of faith-filled confession and the indwelling Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead, Christians can overcome fear, sickness, and adversity, walking in victory and freedom as children of God. Synopsis: In “Altering the Outcome,” Lisa Kane teaches on the transformative power of God’s Word and the believer’s authority to change the course of life’s challenges. Drawing from John 1, Genesis 1, Romans 8, and key passages on Jesus’ miracles and resurrection, the message shows how the spoken Word of God carries creative and life-giving power. Lisa shares a personal testimony of standing in faith for her mother’s healing from cancer, demonstrating how prayer and declaring the name of Jesus bring peace and hope in the midst of trial. She explains that believers are not bound by the law of sin and death but live under the law of the Spirit of life, empowered by the same Spirit that raised Christ from the dead. Through examples such as Jesus walking on water, raising Lazarus, and altering natural laws, listeners are encouraged to recognize that faith and spoken declarations in Jesus’ name can shift circumstances—whether in health, finances, or any area of life. The teaching emphasizes that salvation is not only forgiveness of sins but also deliverance, healing, and preservation, all accessed through confession of Jesus as Lord. Ultimately, the message calls believers to live by the Spirit, speak God’s promises over their lives, and trust Him to alter outcomes according to His power and will. Inspired Teaching - Written and/or Transcribed from Video Above: Hello and welcome to the House of Faith Ministries. I'm Lisa Kaine and I'm recording this teaching on Sunday, December 8th, 2024. Welcome. Let's open up in a word of prayer. Father God, we thank you for your word and we bless your word. And Lord, we pray that your word does not return boy. But I pray that we understand what you're teaching us through your word. That we have authority and the power to alter the outcome of any of our situations. That is to the blessings that you have given us because we know how to come to you and cry out to you. Thank you Lord for making it uh a thing that we remember that we do in every circumstance that we face. In the name of Jesus we pray. Amen. Amen. Amen. I'm so glad you can join us today. Thank you. I am calling this teaching altering the outcome. H this is going to be a very good teaching. So stick with me. We're going to start here in John 1:14. And the word was made flesh and dwelt or occupied among us. And we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the father, full of grace and truth. And the word became flesh. Let's talk about the word, the spoken word, the authority that we have to alter the circumstances of what we're in. You know, right now, I'm literally experiencing this. As you know, my mom has been dealing with cancer. She's still in the hospital and I was pretty down earlier today. But praying with others and praying in the spirit, setting time aside just to talk with the Lord. Wow. you know, the peace that surpasses understanding is fulfilling my heart right now, and I'm grateful for that. So, I would like for you to understand that concept and then to trust in the Lord and watch him change things. I'm believing that my mom is going to be sharing a powerful testimony here about cancer and overcoming it. We're going to see if that is true. And I'm trusting in the Lord that that will happen because it is not her time to go home. Not her time to go home with the Lord. She if that was the case, she would have died the last time because she had so many blood clots and sizable ones that it should have hit a brain or her heart. She should have died. She did not. So here we are. We are the house of faith ministry. So I'm hoping to teach a message on faith that uh you realize that you have the authority to change the outcome. Now you do need to be a believer in Christ first. So make sure that you confess Jesus as your Lord and Savior. If you have not done so, do that first. Uh we can do it very quickly here. You can pause the video, but basically you pray this and you repeat after me. Dear Jesus, I ask you to forgive me of my sins. Come into my heart and be my Lord and Savior. Help me to understand your word and the authority that you have given us in the name of Jesus. Amen. is that if that's the first time you've say made that statement, make certain that you get a Bible. You can use the one on the internet, www.biblegateway.com . Excellent resource. You can go buy one on Amazon or go to any bookstore. You can find Bibles there. Um, and then start reading the Gospel of John and then find a home church somewhere that is preferably non-denominational and get in there, start connecting with other believers. Amen. Okay. Okay. So, we're going to be talking about altering the outcome of whatever situation you're facing. This could be health, this could be finances, this could be any situation you're facing. I've taught a lot on this throughout the years, but it's very interesting when you put these particular scriptures together, what it does to the mind and the spoken word, what happens here. And this is why you have a lot of teachers who teach on claim it kind of things. We're not claiming it, but we're declaring the name of Jesus over it or Jesus is Lord over it. And you're going to see the scriptures tell us to do that. So don't think that you're, you know, oh, this is one of those claim it type of teachings. No, I want you to see how the scriptures are applied in this situation. Amen. So, uh, we're going to start here in John chapter 1:es 1 and two. In the beginning was the word. That word, by the way, means something said because we're talking about the spoken word. Says, "In the beginning was the word and the word that something said was with God and the word was God. The same was in the beginning with God." Well, how interesting that the gospel of John starts that way because he's saying, "Go back to the beginning and see the spoken word." That's what that says. Let's go to the beginning and see the spoken word. So let's go to Genesis 1 1-4. In the beginning, God created the heaven and the earth. And the earth was without form and void, and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. And God said here he spoke it, "Let there be light or illumination, and there was light." And God saw the light that it was good. And God divided the light from the darkness. So John is telling us go back to the spoken word because that spoken word was there in the beginning and remember my opening scripture was and that word became flesh. So the spoken power word of God became flesh which we know as Jesus the the Christ the Messiah. He came as the son of God. He was with God. He was God. He was there in the beginning. He's the spoken word. He spoke the word and he came into his own universe if you will. Okay. So in let's continue on in John chapter 1 now verses 3 and 4. All things were made or caused to be by him and without him was not anything made that was made. In him was life and the life was the light luminescence of men. Oh. So we are here for a particular reason. Jesus created this universe and he has given us the authority to use his name because when he died, he rose from the grave. He redeemed us and he gave us the authority to speak in his name and to become adopted into his kingdom where we call father God our father, aba father. This is who we believe and trust in. So Jesus is the son of God. God is the father and God the father is the one who is allowing all this to happen. Jesus created the universe and he made it so we can come in. Now watch what Paul says here in Romans 8 11-15. But if the spirit of him that raised Jesus from the dead dwell in you pause. Jesus rose from the dead. And when he came out of that grave, he came out of that grave. We're going to see scripture here in just a moment of what happened when he came out of that grave because he's life. He is a light. It can't keep him down. You see, he created this universe that we're in and he altered the rules of this universe. And he did it multiple times, but I'm going to talk about the power of the cross and what he did on the cross. And then we're going to talk about the power of the little things he did while he walked here on the earth until it was his time to go. So Paul is saying, listen, you know, he he died and this power, the spirit of him that raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you. He that raised Christ from the dead, woke Christ from the dead, shall also quicken your mortal bodies. The mortal is liable to die bodies by his spirit that inhabits in you, dwells in you. Hold on a moment. Wait a minute. This mortal body can have life because what Christ did, the same power that's in Christ is in me and can do Whoa, hold on. Let's read that scripture one more time because I think it's worth it. Amen. But if the spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his spirit that dwelleth in you. Look at this verse 12. Therefore, brethren, we are not we are debtors, not to the flesh to live after the flesh. Let's continue on. Says, for if you live after the flesh, you you shall die. But if ye through the spirit do mortify or kill the deeds of the body, ye shall live. For as many as are led by the spirit of God, they are sons of God. For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear. But ye have received the spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, "Aba, Father." Understand there's a lot in the scripture, by the way. A lot. Understand this. This is very, very important. We have the same spirit in us that's in Jesus. Well, one, he breathed into our nostrils to bring us life, did he not? He made us in his image. Man was made in his image and then he made female from the ri which then she protects the man. The whole another teaching. I've done that. You can go check it out. Here's the thing is if we have that same spirit in us, this mortal body, if we kill it, and we're not talking physical killing, we are talking spiritual killing. When you do that, you live. What happens is the moment you confess Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, guess what? You kill this body because you're telling this body, you're dead because I believe in Jesus who has already been raised from the dead. He is raised from the dead. And that's the same spirit that's in us. Now, I want you to understand something here. Jesus altered the rules as he went along. I hope you get this. This is so neat. This revelation, you see, he altered the rules. If you died a sinner, you were supposed to stay dead. That's just the way it is. And hell was made for sinners. It's made for places like the devil. But you see, God sent his only begotten son and says, "I need you to go save the people." And Jesus says, "I will go do it." So when he died because he had to and his blood went on the mercy seat and he so powerful he made this universe. He popped right out of that grave as a man with a new body because in the beginning was the word. He was spirit but that spirit came into the universe. He created. So when he said, "Let there be light," there was light. Imagine when you were a child and you made forts and you had all the sheets and blankets all around like all over the living room and your mom comes and go or you do it all over your bedroom. You have your friends over, you guys are just crawling around. I mean, and it's just so much fun to spend time playing in forts. Uh I can see the joy of Jesus wanting to enter the creation he created because it is so much fun. You get into that fort and you get to live whatever way you want. So if you have you put the sheet over here and you blocked off this path, guess what? You're in control of your universe. You pick up the sheet and move it and change it around. Now you have a path to crawl through. Jesus did that. Wait, how did he do that? Well, he did it raising from the dead because he came out alive. And well, we're going to see more scripture on that. But I want to show you another incident of when he did it. This is so neat. Matthew 14:24-33 But the ship was now in the midst of the sea, tossed or tortured with waves, for the wind was contrary. And in the fourth watch of the night, Jesus went unto them walking on the sea. And when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, It is a spirit. And they cried out for fear. But straightway Jesus spake unto them, saying, "Be of good cheer, or have courage. It is I. Be not afraid." And Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it be thou, bid me come unto thee on the water. And he said, "Come." And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water to go to Jesus. But when he saw or he became, he perceived the wind boisterous around him. You know, he was afraid and beginning to sink, he cried out. He cried saying, "Lord, save me." That word save there means deliver, protect, heal, preserve. And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand and caught or seized him and said unto him, "Oh, thou little faith incredulous or lacking confidence, wherefore dust thou doubt?" You know, why did you doubt? Why did you waver is what he's saying? And when they were come unto the ship, the wind ceased. Then they that were in the ship came and worshiped or prostrate oneself adored him, saying, "Of a truth, thou art the son of God." And they became believers very, very quickly. But Jesus altered the rules. You see, he just finished preaching to a multitude. He sent the multitude away. He sent his disciples to go to the other side. And he decided to go up to the mountain to pray. I love that. He didn't care where he needed to go, what direction. He didn't care if he had somebody there or food. He stopped knowing that there's a storm and his men are in that boat that he told them to get into. And there he is on the top of the mountain praying. Now, let's get a visual of this for a moment because this is an image of what Jesus does today. He's in the high place sitting sitting at the right hand of God on the throne there and he's praying for us. He's interceding on our behalf always. That's what Jesus is doing. Well, Jesus was doing that and then he came down off that mountain and decided to go join his disciples by walking on the water to the ship. I'm pretty confident not one person in this world can walk on water. And so, the only person who could walk on water that day was who? Jesus. And then Peter said, "Well, if you're Jesus, call me to you." And Jesus said, "Come." Peter gets out of the boat and starts walking over like, "Hey, you are Jesus." And then all of a sudden he becomes aware that he's on water and he starts to sink and he says, "Jesus, save me." Spoken out loud word and immediately Jesus grabbed a hold of him and brought him up. So this is a type of what we can see Jesus and how he handles us today. We can see that Jesus altered his universe to do something he needed to do, which was to show us what it would be like when he's in heaven and we're still on earth. This was for us. I mean, I'm sure Peter was thrilled to be like the only other man that could ever walk on water. And then, you know, I'm sure he kind of didn't want to share the part where he almost sank. He's just sharing the part, woohoo, I walked with Jesus on the water. So, here you have a just one sample of the illustration of all the things that Jesus has altered on this universe. And by the way, that altering occurred afterwards. Philillip, great guy. Go look at him. Go read about him in Acts. you will find that he's suddenly there to minister to a unic who's reading Isaiah and he's curious who is this Isaiah talking about. So, Philip ministers to him, witnesses to him, ends up accepting Jesus as his Lord. He baptizes him. When he comes out of the water, Philip's gone. He's gone on to another town instantly. It's uh he's not there. And again, you're seeing the alteration of the universe. You see, sin came into the world. So, we're supposed to die, but Jesus said, "Nope, I'm going to change the rules." And he changed the rules, which means we don't have to live as fear or in fear that we're going to die any minute after now or any time because we have the authority in the name of Jesus. Every time we say Jesus save me or Jesus you are Lord and you speak that out. Jesus is in the midst of your situation and he's seizing you out of it, taking care of you or altering the things going on around you. So let's take a look at the death of him on the cross and what he did because again he altered the rules. He changed the rules. When you die you're supposed to stay dead. Remember he raised Lazarus from the dead. So he demonstrates when he is risen from the dead. And look what it says in Matthew 27:50-53. Jesus when he cried again with a loud voice. He's up on the cross yielded up or sent forth his ghost or the ghost and behold the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom and the earth did quake and the rocks rent and the graves were opened and many bodies of the saints which slept dead arose. That word slept means dead arose and it came out of the and came out of the graves after his resurrection and went into the holy se city and appeared unto many. I I laugh at that because imagine having Aunt Martha's funeral. you just had Aunt Martha's funeral and you know a few days later you're sitting there having um you know lunch or snack or you're working with your animals whatever here comes that Martha walking up to your home and just like the men were on the ship they saw Jesus and they were troubled or they were is that a ghost and you see Aunt Martha and you you're stunned Because see, that's not normal. That's not what this world or how this world operates. However, Jesus changed the rules. And by the way, the same spirit that's in Jesus that can change rules means that same spirit that is in us can change those rules, too. Now, let's go to Romans 8:1 and2. There is therefore now no condemnation, no verdict against us to them which are in Christ Jesus who walk not after the flesh but after the spirit. You see what happens the moment you confess Jesus as your Lord and Savior. You are spirit. You are no longer in this flesh. This flesh is dead. You crucified it and it's been crucified on the cross with Jesus. It's a goner. The flesh is dead. And because Ro uh Hebrews 9:27 or 9:23 says, you can go look it up which one it is. I think it's 9:27 says uh every man's appointed to die once. Well, guess what? If the rapture is going to happen in this generation, does that mean Paul's a liar with what he wrote in his Bible? Because we don't die, we go in the rapture. On the contrary, he speaks the truth. Because every believer out there has already died to this flesh, to the rules of this world, to the laws of this land. We're not obligated to that. I want you to catch this in your mind. I need you to understand that you have the right and the authority to alter the universe around you. You don't have to be sick. Seriously, you don't have to be in a financial s situation. Seriously, this is for reals. The Bible tells us that the same spirit that's in Jesus is going to raise us up out of that grave. So, I love it with Paul when he quoted, I think it's Joel, he quoted, he says, and I could be wrong about that. You go look it up. Oh, death, oh death, where is your sting? Yeah, where is your sting? I'm alive for eternity already here in this flesh. This is just my beginning footsteps because as a believer in Christ, I have the beginning of the power and the authority of the name of Jesus. I can alter my universe, which means I get to speak a spoken word over whatever the situation circumstance is. So, and we live by the spirit. We're choosing by the spirit. Verse two, for the law of the spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death. So you can see these two laws. Law of sin and death is what the law of this world came to be when Adam and Eve fell. So you had to die. Every generation dies. Everyone's dying. And eventually you do whether you do it at the age of two days old or at the age of 150 years old, everybody dies. But when you become a believer in Christ, Jesus says, "I altered the rules." Guess what? You're now living by the law of the spirit and you're already dead because you no longer have this flesh holding you back because you're walking in your spirit. Your spirit is manifesting. You see, when he says you have the keys to the kingdom of heaven, and he says, "Whatever you bound on earth is bound in heaven. Whatever you loose on earth is loose in heaven." He's showing us that heaven and earth, spirit and physical are related to each other. And what manifests in the spirit is going to manifest in the flesh. So if you're a bitter, hateful person who isn't walking with Christ because you're walking in the flesh because you're in anger, you're you're going to manifest the sicknesses and diseases related to hate and bitterness and anger. That's the concept of this. But if you being um in the spirit of Christ are calling out blessings and forgiveness and saying, "I'm going to forgive that. I choose to forgive that. I'm going to forgive myself because I'm already dead because the Lord has saved me. And because he saved me, none of that ever matters. Whether I was right or wrong, it doesn't matter. I'm forgiven. And because I'm forgiven, I get to alter the universe my body lives in. I get to walk in liberty, in freedom from sicknesses and diseases. I have that right because I'm in the spirit. That's what I hope you guys are catching here. Now, let's go to look at verse uh 11, going back to our opening scripture. But if the spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his spirit that dwells in you. You see, we have this ability to have the manifestation of the spoken word in us. We have a powerful tongue. And if we're confessing Jesus as our Lord, let's go read Romans 10:9. Says that if thou confess, acknowledge with my mouth, the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe or have faith in thine heart that God has raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved, delivered, protected, healed, preserved. So the moment you say, Jesus, save me, like Peter did in the water, Jesus is obligated to save you. He wants to save you. He loves you that much. He's going to save you. So, he's going to get you out of your circumstance and situation. And by the way, there are many, many, many testimonies that tell you how many people spoke the name of Jesus and their situation changed. And I just I love hearing some of these testimonies. There's a a former homosexual man who, you know, he he thought it was funny. He I love his testimony. When he was uh gay, he he kept saying, "It's not a sin. It's not a sin." And he went and looked it up in the Bible to find out. And when he found out what the Bible actually said, he confess Jesus as his Lord and Savior. He's a man now that ministers to the homosexual homosexual uh comm uh community. He's ministering to them. Why? because he's telling them, listen, I believe the way you believe that it's not a sin, but guess what? It is, and I didn't want to go to hell, and I know you don't want to go to hell. So, he's ministering to them. He altered the universe around him. He called on the name of Jesus, got saved, his life changed because it's a mental thing. You're dealing mentally with this kind of stuff. He altered the way he thought. He went from the flesh to the spirit and he's letting people know there is a God. He's real and he's coming back. Now, does that mean he's this perfect creation? No. But I know that after he got saved, he lost his job. Woke is all in its finest hour there. And he had to lose his apartment. But he called on Jesus. And all of a sudden, he got a podcast going. He got an apartment. People were donating to him. You see how the Lord moves just in that testimony. His name is Richard. You can go find him on Tik Tok and I'm sure you can find him. But I remember because I I've been praying for that community, the LGBTQ plus community. I pray for wokeism, Black Lives Matters. I pray for these. that I know that my prayers are altering the universe because it's allowing the spirit to move forward because see prayer works because what did he say? I confess with my mouth the Lord Jesus and believe that God raised him from the dead. How do you believe that God raised someone from the dead? Well, you start talking about Jesus and you can't see him. That's faith. Look at this. Says uh with thy mouth the Lord Jesus and shalt believe or have faith. And what is faith? Things hoped for that we can't see yet. That's how God operates. He operates with faith. So for me, I'm altering the universe. I pray over my mom and I declare the name of Jesus. This is why I believe there's a testimony coming out of here. Lord's not done with her. And you know, I'm not praying, by the way, asking that she live forever. I I want y'all to understand. I don't want her to die this way because cancer is from the devil. That is a sickness and a disease. That's an attack on the physical body. And it it's our faith that has to rise up so we can be healed. And remember, Jesus not only healed by healing people, by laying hands on them or or anything like that. He would say many times, "Your faith has made you whole." meaning we have the authority to be made whole through our faith. So we I'm trying to teach this is why we're called the house of faith ministries trying to show you that when you speak the Lord Jesus that's what he says the Lord Jesus and believe that God raised him from the dead what does it say there it says you will be saved that word saved has multiple um uh definitions delivered protect healed preserved that is our blessing by saying Jesus is Lord Lord. Jesus, you are Lord over my mind. Jesus, you are Lord over my body. Jesus, you are Lord over every ache and pain. Jesus, you are Lord over sickness and diseases because he rose from the dead and he came out. That same power of life and authority is in you. All you have to do to alter your universe is to say, "Jesus, you're Lord. I have to trust in you. I have to give this to you. I'm not going to worry about it. I'm not going to stand another minute in this. This is yours. I'm going to let you deal with it because it is not by might nor by power, but is by your spirit." Amen. Let's close in a word of prayer. Father God, we thank you for your word. I pray that this word is uplifting and encouraging to those who hear it, that they apply it, that they start calling the name of Jesus over all of their circumstances, and that they live by faith, knowing that they can alter their universe just like you altered the universe as you walked on this earth. Lord, we love you and honor you and praise you and bless you for you truly are mighty and faithful in the name of Jesus. Amen. Amen. God bless you and I will see you in the next message. Byebye.

- YOU ARE A CHILD OF GOD | House of Faith Ministries (HoFM)
YOU ARE A CHILD OF GOD The objective of this teaching is to affirm believers in their identity as children of God through Christ Jesus. It seeks to build faith by showing that believers are not bound by fear or slavery but adopted as heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ. The teaching emphasizes deliverance, the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, and the authority given to every child of God to overcome sin, sickness, and oppression. YOU ARE A CHILD OF GOD Minister Lisa Kane November 24, 2024 Objective: The objective of this teaching is to affirm believers in their identity as children of God through Christ Jesus. It seeks to build faith by showing that believers are not bound by fear or slavery but adopted as heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ. The teaching emphasizes deliverance, the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, and the authority given to every child of God to overcome sin, sickness, and oppression. Synopsis: In this message, Lisa Kane draws from Romans 8:15–17, Galatians 3:25–27, and 1 John 3–5 to explain the powerful truth of spiritual adoption. Believers have not received a spirit of bondage but the Spirit of adoption, testifying that they are God’s children. Through this relationship, Christians are heirs with Christ, sharing in His glory and authority. The teaching explains how deliverance works as the Holy Spirit—described as a “current of air”—fills believers, replacing spirits of fear, anger, bitterness, and hatred. By recognizing their sonship and walking in partnership with the Spirit, Christians are transformed from within, strengthened to live victoriously, and empowered to cast out demons, heal the sick, and proclaim freedom. Water baptism, faith, and obedience are presented as key markers of this identity, not as empty rituals but as evidence of the Spirit’s anointing. Lisa highlights that being a child of God means walking in faith, loving one another as a moral and spiritual obligation, and demonstrating God’s power and authority in daily life. She also shares personal testimony of healing and deliverance through the anointing of the Holy Spirit as proof of this truth in action. Ultimately, this message encourages believers to rise above oppression, embrace their authority in Christ, and live as God’s royal priesthood. By faith, they overcome the world, because greater is He who is in them than he who is in the world. Inspired Teaching - Written and/or Transcribed from Video Above: Hello and welcome to the House of Faith Ministries. I'm Lisa Kaine and I'm recording this teaching on Sunday, November 24th, 2024. Welcome. Let's open up in a word of prayer. Father God, we thank you for your word. We thank you for your anointing. We thank you for your blessings and your favor upon us. For you are mighty and glorious. You are my God, my King, my Lord and my Savior. I belong to you and you belong to me. Thank you Lord. Let your word not return void and let the listeners remember who they are in you and that they are more than conquerors. Thank you Lord in the name of Jesus. Amen. Amen. Well, welcome. I'm so glad you can join me today as I teach this teaching. Guess what this is called? You are a child of God. This is going to be a great teaching. Let's go to our opening uh scripture here in Romans 8:15. For ye have not received the spirit of bondage or slavery again to fear, which is alarm, fright, terror. But ye have received the spirit of adoption, the placing as the son, whereby we cry, "Aba, Father." Oh, how precious, how precious it is to be called a child of God. And we have that Ah, let's go to scripture because I really want to get this teaching across to you because I want to build your faith and I want to show you how you can be more than a conqueror. Amen. Amen. We're still in Romans and we're going to look at verses 16 and 17. the spirit which by the way when you get this teaching may take a little bit of time but when you get it you are going to feel a deliverance and it is going to cleanse you and it is just incredible you're going to be a little on the weepy side which is what I am today but this is because my spirit and my mind recognizes who I am to be called a child of So what happens though with deliverance is that there is a current of air or a spirit that infuses us. It comes through through us. The Holy Spirit anoints us. And that is what you're going to be seeing in this teaching. So look at what he says here. The spirit which the and the best description they can give for this by the way is a current of air. That's just what it's called. And when you go through deliverance, if you've ever seen a person get exercised and not Hollywood style, but in a real deliverance min uh ministry or anything like this, you're going to recognize that um releasing of air is part of the deliverance. So you can have a stronghold, a spirit of fear, let's say, and that spirit is in you. And when it gets cast out, whether by yourself or by a team of people, and they're casting out anger, bitter, hate, you're going to start coughing, sneezing, that's a current of air leaving your body. Well, we're given the Holy Spirit, which is a current of air that comes in to us. And that's what Paul is talking about here. He says, "The spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit." You see the inside with the Holy Spirit are partnering up together. And you can see you can do this with anger or hatred. But you can also do this with the Holy Spirit. And see by letting go of the fear, the anger, the hatred, the enviousness, the jealousy, bitterness, hate, you let all that go. You need to partner up with the spirit of God, the Holy Spirit. And this is where when you recognize that you're a child of God, the dominating spirit within your soul and body becomes the Holy Spirit and he transforms you on the inside. So Paul is clearly talking about this here in Romans. The spirit himself beareth witness with our spirit that we are children of God. He's going to describe here in just a moment uh other ways to to describe. But you will know you are a child of God simply because your spirit is partnering up with the Holy Spirit. You're going to feel the anointing. I I feel it as I I sit here and when I start to pray, I know he's right there and I know that I'm more than a conqueror with him in that spirit. You're going to see that here in the scripture. And I hope that with this knowledge you get it and that you grab on to it and you don't let go. Amen. That we are children of God. Verse 17. And if children then hes of God and joint hes together with Christ. If so be that we suffer with him that we may also that we may be also glorified together. Here is an interesting point. You see all the disciples, the apostles, they became martyrs in their time. Even Paul who wasn't a disciple became a martyr for Christ. And he's saying if we suffer, we glorify together. Jesus is glorified while the apostles, the disciples are glorified because they had the spirit in them and their spirit testified to that. testified to the world, allowed them to write scripture. Peter wrote first Peter and second Peter. Paul wrote most of the New Testament. The Holy Spirit work through the gospel writers, Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. Acts written by Luke. I It's incredible to see what the Holy Spirit did in them and caused them to do that. Jesus said, and I taught this a little bit in my last teaching, that we would do greater things than him because he had to go to the father in a way. He was kind of teasing us like, "Yeah, you know, you didn't beat me because I gave up and didn't do better. I just had to go deal with my father because he called me to go deal with him. So, you can beat me now." It's kind of like a a camaraderie um happiness between you as you compete with one another in a way. In other words, you know, when you see Paul cast out a demon or you see Peter just look look at me and they rise up from the dead. The faith that they had, it's because they knew the spirit within them. They knew they were joint hes. And think about being an heir with Christ. We're royalty, a peculiar people, a royal priesthood. I don't even bring that scripture into this teaching, but that is what we are. And let's pause and think about that for just a moment. I'd like for you to think about what royalty is like. Imagine having access to the king at all times. Even when he's in a meeting uh with other angels or doing this or that, he is father god. He's king. Yes. But he stops for his children to listen. What is it that you need? What is it that you want? I got this. Okay, we got it together. and to stand side by side with Jesus in that holy courtroom as royalty and to have whatever Christ had. Christ walked in water, walked on the water. Christ healed the sick. Christ is going to put an end to sin. He's doing all this and he says, "I redeemed you. I gave you my blood cuz my father told me, but I was obedient and I wanted to and I do it for the joy of setting you free and having you free. This is his his love for us and we're a part of that. We are a joint air. We can cast out demons. We can heal the sick. We can be set apart from this world and know better with him. Know the betterness of him. Oh, let's go to Galatians. Let's continue on. I want to show you more of this. Galatians chapter 3:25-27. But after that faith has come, we are no longer under a school master. Let's stop and think about this for a minute. After that faith has come, when you become a believer in Christ, you actually take a step of faith. When you confess Jesus is Lord, this is Romans 10:9. When you confess Jesus is Lord with your mouth and believe that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved, delivered, healed, preserved. That word means a whole bunch of different words there. So imagine having that faith. You finally get it. You realize that you are a child of God. You have this authority. Look at what else he says. For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. Now, I want you to see what that word faith there means. It means persuasion, credence, moral conviction. You see what happens is suddenly you're aware because the spirit within you who is partnering up with the Holy Spirit, you suddenly realize, hey, there's something more. And you're just so blessed by it. And you're you it transforms the way you think because you're a child of God. you get to go up to the courtroom and sometimes it's very hard for Christians to accept this, you know, because Jesus is so worthy. It's almost as if Jesus is way up there and he's not here within me. But the Holy Spirit, God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Spirit, three persons in one. The Holy Spirit is in us and they work in tandem. That means he's convicting us. We are feeling that conviction. We're aware of his presence, which means we should be acknowledging we're a child of God and we are able to walk into that kingdom that he has for us. Let's continue on. Verse 27. For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. Look at this. Baptized means to be fully wet. You'll see in the Catholic church they put little drops on the forehead. Well, fully wet means submersion. So, if you go to pretty much any denomination out there that is calling itself Christian other than Catholicism, you will find that water baptism is a fully submersible um event that happens in a believer's life. Now, some churches believe you need to have that to get saved. I think that's incorrect teaching because if you go look at Luke and you see the thief on the cross got Jesus told the thief today you will be with me in paradise. That thief never got off and never got water baptized. So he got saved though. So you all it takes is confession of Jesus and you're just calling out on Jesus whom you can't see. You're just calling out on him and and you become a child of God just from that. You see, I believe when you go get water baptized and you come up, you go into ministry right after that because now you've got the anointing of the Holy Spirit on you, which he's talking about the anointing in the scripture. For as many of you has been baptized fully what? Into Christ, which is the anointed where Christ means anointed have put on Christ anointing, the anointing of Christ. You go into the ministry. In fact, as soon as Jesus had been baptized, he came up. He went into the wilderness for 40 days and 40 nights fasted and dealt with the temptation of Satan overcame him and won. And after that, his min ministry was a breeze. So as soon as you come up from water baptism, you kind of go under this attack of the devil. You overcome him because the Holy Spirit will not let you lose. Amen. And it it becomes an ongoing thing where your Holy Spirit just gets stronger and stronger and stronger and you go into ministry and you start teaching people under the gifts of the Holy Spirit. You start manifesting the fruit of the Holy Spirit. I mean your life transforms and you are a joint heir with Christ because your spirit is testifying with the Holy Spirit and the two of you are now working in tandem as joint airs. Meaning you have the right to the authority of the name of Jesus and everything about Jesus. Romans 10:9 again says that if you confess with your mouth Jesus is Lord. Lord over what? Lord over my life, Lord over my head if I have headaches, Lord over my sinuses, Lord over my spirit, Lord over my body, he's Lord. So the moment you start to feel like a a little cold coming on, this is where you can say, "No, no, no. Jesus is Lord over that. Jesus is Lord over cancer. Jesus is Lord over my finances. And because you're a son of God, you are a child of God. You have the right to the faith of healing. You have the right to deliverance. You have that right. And you get to walk right up to the throne where God the Father is, Jesus the Son, the Holy Spirit is encouraging you. He's convicting you. He's right there with you. And the four of you are working in you to in your mind, bringing your faith up so that you are walking in ministry, healing, and saving others because we need to save people, which is what Jesus was all about. That's why he went to the cross with joy. By the way, he went to the cross with joy. And as he was up there, he was thinking of you and I. He redeemed us knowing full well it was going to hurt. He suffered it, but he did it so that we didn't have to go through that suffering because we already fell. We're already suffering as it is. But he rose from the grave and he's life. Death can't hold him, which means sickness and diseases can't hold you. You are a child of God and you get to go walking around free and clear and liberated, no longer a slave. Oh, I hope you guys are getting this. 1 John 3:10. In this, the children of God are manifest or shining apparent. And I want you to see something. You can tell the difference from a child of God and a child of the devil. Look at this. This is very important. Why I brought the scripture here. And the children of the devil. Whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth, not his brother. That word love there is social moral obligation type of a sense. In other words, a mom has her first born and she has her child. She's obligated to take care of that child. That's what that word love there means. You're obligated as a child of God, as somebody who's called on Christ to demonstrate his power and his authority. the faith in you is the demonstration because we're already seeing plenty of demon um uh the devil and demonstration on their side of unrighteousness which isn't of God. They're not loving. They're not helping. They're not doing any of that kind of stuff. No. And but here we're different. We're a child of God. We're a peculiar people and we have the right to demonstrate his love to those around and to share those words of encouragement that the body of Christ and these are there are believers. They are so down. They're so oppressed that it's like the devil is rubbing their face in the dirt of the ground and they haven't figured it out yet. They just need to stand up and put the devil on the ground and stomp him down. That's the right that we have as a child of God. I hope you guys are getting this. 1 John 4:4, "Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome. You've subdued. You conquer them because greater is he that is in you than he that is in the world." You've got God on your side. And the moment you decide you're going to spend more time with God, which means more time with the Holy Spirit, you're going to read the scripture more or even make a commitment of reading his scripture every day and sometimes two or three times a day or make a commitment where you're going to put around 15 to 30 minutes out to the side every day for you and God just to have some quality time together. you know, last week, I think it was, as I'm over here in my room and I I was just weeping. I mean, weeping that Yeah. It wasn't this last Thursday. It was the Thursday before and I was just thinking of the people and I was praying with God and the anointing was so strong that my sinuses all got cleared out and have been cleared since. I've always had to spray sinus spray and I've been healed of that. I haven't had to spray my nose now for a week and a half. That is incredible. I mean, just feeling the anointing of the Holy Spirit and God healed me in that moment. Why? Because I put him first. I trusted him. I had faith in him. We are the House of Faith Ministries. And it is hard to have faith. It's hard to trust people, let alone someone you can't see. But that's the power and the authority that we have as believers in Christ. We need to get up off of going to church, being spoonfed the scripture, and uh just Yeah, God has Yeah, there's faith. I heard a teaching last Sunday teaching faith. Hebrews 11, the the faith chapter is such a mighty chapter. you. I I would never have thought that a teaching on that chapter could ever go as slow and inhibited as I had heard it that way taught that day. And I I prayed. I said, "Lord, what's going on here? This person who taught on faith had no faith." And now I'm praying because I'm hoping that the Lord shakes us up and shows us that faith. But not just show us, but that it connects. It clicks somewhere in the brain. So that faith turns on and we're walking in that power. Because to not realize or not have it or not understand it, you know, that's we have to ask God to help us understand what he's doing, where he's going. You know, after that uh January 6 event, I remember going to the Lord going, you know, I wasn't involved with that, but I was very hesitant and wondering is Trump going to win? I you know I after he had lost you know just the way the church was pushing in that area so deeply I came away from that and I separated myself from that at that point I said no Lord I'm here for you not for the church and I I want to serve the church I want to help the church but I we got to be on the right track with your word and after that my life has changed drastically because I purposed in my heart in my mind that I would put him first, understand the scriptures, teach it the way he wants to, and not by uh you know, if if someone had asked me to teach on faith and I didn't understand it, I would back off and say, "No, no, I can't teach it because I don't understand it." That's what you're supposed to do. It's better to not mislead anybody, but to demonstrate what you're teaching. And I'm hoping as a House of Faith Ministries that we're walking in faith and knowing and demonstrating that. And I'm hoping that you catch the fire of the anointing in here that goes down into here and comes right out and just goes all over everybody. So, what am I hoping for? Because I want to teach you how much faith that you have by being a child of God. If Jesus can heal, if Jesus can deliver, if Jesus can make the blind see, if he can help us hear, how much more can we do of that as well? Because he said you would do greater things than I only because he had to go to the father. I love the way that scripture is worded. Let's continue on. I want you to catch this. We're in 1 John 5 1-5. Whosoever believeth and you know, let's pause there. That's where it starts. The word believe is means to have faith. That's where it starts. Do you have enough faith to say, "All right, Jesus. I believe you're real and I'm going to need some help." And and that's all it takes. Start that. You plant the seed and let the Holy Spirit start talking to you. Which means you have to open the Bible, which means you need to read it and you need to be praying. It's a two-way communication, but it starts there. Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God. Meaning God procreated the man Jesus. And he did. You see, the son of God has always been there with him. And the son of God is who did creation. Go to first John, excuse me, John 1:1. In the beginning was the word and the word was God. And the word was with God. He was always there in the beginning. But that word became flesh. Jesus, God procreated him and and made him Jesus. He died and then he rose from the grave and got a new body. He's not that spirit anymore. He's in the body in the flesh, a whole new flesh that we're all going to get new bodies afterwards. But he when he said life, he just popped right out of the grave. And we have the right to that life. We have the right to be standing on that throne room with Jesus and with God the Father. And we have the right to say, "I'm a joint heir. And I have this authority, which means I'm going to come right back out of the grave. And because I already believe in my flesh, it already has begun. I death is not going to affect me like it would anyone else. absent from the body, present with the Lord. I love what Paul says. Oh death, oh death, where is your stink? That's what happens to those of us who grab a hold of that faith and believe that Jesus is the son of God and that we're joint hes with him and that as a child we have the same authority, life, we have life and we're not going to be held back. So when death, sickness, diseases, and all that try to encompass us, try to oppress us, try to push us down, try to tell us lies, we get to look at and say, "No way. I have the name of Jesus. He is my Lord. He's my savior. You sickness, cancer, disease, you get lost in the name of Jesus because I have life. It will not touch me because of the faith of what I have and what I believe and who I believe as a child of God. Oh, hallelujah. Born of God. And everyone that loveth him that begat loveth him also that is begotten of him. You see, we're of him. And see, when we love him, we love him out of a social moral obligation. Because I'm going to tell you right now, when you can't see God, how can you love something you can't see? But you have to take the faith and pray and talk to him because then what happens afterwards is that you start to see him move in your life. And next thing you know, you're having full conversations with him because you're walking in faith because you've seen him move so much in your life. and you just know that you're a child of God. How much love he has for me. And it becomes empathic at that point. But when it first starts, it's an obligation. All right, Lord. I'm going to keep your commandments. I I don't want to sin. I don't want to be like that anymore. I'm repenting. I'm going to turn my life around. I'm gonna choose to live for you. And I I'm gonna declare I'm a child of God. I may not understand it, but I'm asking you to help me understand that, Lord. You see, that's the baby steps that you need to take to get to this point. And I'm going to tell you, I'm not even there yet. Yet, I'm so excited. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Look at this. By this, we know, and that word is absolutely know that we love the children of God when we love God and keep his commandments. Because now it comes to well now we got to love all of God's children. If we're all children of God, we got to love one another. What's what's interesting about that is we don't want to. But there's a point when you actually press in and you find out more about God, you realize that God loves them just as much as he loves me. And all of a sudden it it it changes you. And I am begging you to let the Holy Spirit change you and transform you. Verse three, for this is the love of God that we keep his commandments. Look at this word commandments. It means authoritative prescription. So we're talking about healing, deliverance from the inside out. You see, when you love them just as much as God loves them, the other people of the world, not just ourselves. When you love them, you keep his commandments. Because what is his commandments? To love him with all of your heart to love them, your neighbor, just as much as you love yourself. And when that happens, you are walking in authoritative prescription because you're a joint heir. You're a child of God. That means your authority is your prescription that keeps you from all sicknesses and diseases. Oh, I hope you get this. I hope you get this. And his commandments are not grievous. For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world. And this is the victory that overcomemeth the world, even our faith. Who is he that overcomemeth the world? He that believeth that Jesus is the son of God. That my friend is basic scripture doctrine of how to realize you're a child of God and how not to ever be sick, downtrodden, oppressed, possessed. Oh, you see this is where it starts right in here. You start thinking, you know what? I'm a child of God. And it clicks and all of a sudden your faith goes from way down here and it starts to go way up here. That, my friend, is walking in faith. That is walking in the realization of who you are and the authority that you have. There are things you're going to do that are going to be magnificent, worthy, holy, worthy to be written in the Bible if the go if God wanted to continue writing the Bible. I hope you catch this and I hope that you realize that you are a child of God. Amen. Let's close in a word of prayer. Father God, we thank you for your word and we bless your word. We pray that your word does not return void. And we thank you that your word that the enemy does not come in and discourage us or make us forget this word. Lord, let us retain and walk in this word with you and know that you are God and we're your child and that we have the authority in the name of Jesus and that we have the faith to believe that you are our healer in the name of Jesus. That you are our deliverer, our provider. And with you, Father God, all things are possible. Hallelujah. In the name of Jesus, we pray. Amen. Amen. Amen. God bless you and I'll see you in the next Actually, uh, next week is Thanksgiving. I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving. We're going to take the week off. Have a blessed week in God's name. Bye-bye. Home Previous Next
- THE NAME OF JESUS | House of Faith Ministries (HoFM)
THE NAME OF JESUS To teach believers the power, authority, and responsibility given through the name of Jesus Christ, showing how prayer, confession, and abiding in Him bring victory over spiritual battles in heaven, on earth, and under the earth. < Back THE NAME OF JESUS Minister Lisa Kane October 14, 2023 Objective: To teach believers the power, authority, and responsibility given through the name of Jesus Christ, showing how prayer, confession, and abiding in Him bring victory over spiritual battles in heaven, on earth, and under the earth. Synopsis: In “The Name of Jesus,” Minister Lisa Kane emphasizes the supreme authority and divine power contained in the name of Jesus. Rooted in Philippians 2:10–11, the teaching explains that every knee shall bow and every tongue confess Jesus Christ as Lord, highlighting the believer’s call to demonstrate this authority. The message breaks down how praying, speaking, and living in Jesus’ name establishes victory across three realms—heavenly, earthly, and beneath the earth. Believers are reminded that effective prayer requires using the name of Jesus specifically, rather than generic references to “the Lord,” which can leave room for deception. Lisa underscores that abiding in Christ, guarding His commandments, and maintaining a daily relationship with God are conditions for answered prayer. The lesson connects John 14 and 15 to the practice of asking “in His name,” revealing that Jesus Himself intercedes with the Father and releases the Holy Spirit, the Comforter, to dwell with believers. Practical applications are given: binding and loosing in Jesus’ name, overcoming demonic strongholds, praying with persistence, and interceding for others with confidence. Real-life testimonies show how others recognize the spiritual authority operating in a believer’s life. Ultimately, the message calls Christians to live as effective witnesses—abiding in the Word, speaking with power, and demonstrating the love of God—so that the world may see and experience the reality of Jesus Christ, the anointed Son of God. Inspired Teaching: Hello and welcome to the House of Faith Ministries. I'm Lisa Kaine and I'm recording this on Saturday, October 14th, 2023. Welcome. This message is called the name of Jesus. Let's open up in a word of prayer. Father God, we thank you for your word. We thank you for your blessings and your favor and your anointing on us. And Lord, we glorify you. We honor you and worship you. And Lord, whatever we ask, we know that you will give it to us in the name of Jesus. So teach us how to pray in the name of Jesus. Teach us how to hear and know what to ask for in the name of Jesus, your glorious son, the son of God. Amen. Amen. Amen. Let's go to our opening scripture here. Philippians 2:10 and 11. that at the name of Jesus, every knee should bow of things in heaven and things in earth and things under the earth, and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God the Father. So, as you can see here, I'm going to give you some other additional words in here. The bolded words in the scripture mean those are the words in the King James version. the words next to it in parenthesis italicize are other words that meant that the original Hebrew or Greek word meant. So in other words, you can translate the word into other meanings. Here thing about language is you've got to understand it doesn't always translate word to word. It has to be a concept or a meaning behind whatever the structure of the sentence is. So I've been teaching in that. So this message is called the name of Jesus. And let me remind you uh judge me. That is your responsibility. You need to judge if I'm teaching correctly in context, if I'm teaching the word translations correctly. You need to do homework and research this. You need to choose whether you accept or reject this message. So I remind you to do that. And then that doesn't mean you come and harass me if I'm doing it wrong. It means you go to the Lord and I promise you he will correct me. I for a while there I was quoting Joel 2:32 as Joel 21:13. I did it for three or four messages in a row. Didn't even realize it and the Lord brought it to my attention and I corrected it. So I am ever learning. You know I'm a human being just like you are. So that means you have a responsibility to test what you hear, what you're going to believe in, what you're going to receive. Amen. All right. This is called the name of Jesus. So that now that word that is to demonstrate in the concept of what we're talking about. So you're demonstrating at the authority which is what the name means. Authority of Jesus. By the way, Jesus name in the Greek is Yahosua. And I am pretty confident I'm not sounding that out appropriately just to be fair play here. Um I sometimes I can get some of the accents right in other languages and there are other times I just can't. So this is one of those times. So demonstrate the authority of Yahushua all every knee everybody's knee that's everyone the whole knee should bend of the things in heaven. Now I want you to see something here that's very important. So we see we have the authority of Jesus. That is our demonstration. We're to demonstrate the authority of Jesus. We are called to demonstrate that as a believer in Christ. So keep that in mind. That's what this means. Now I want you to see three uh three things here of things in heaven which is above the sky, things in the earth that are worldly and things under the earth subter subterranean and infernal. We operate in three levels. And yet we're just a little human being higher on the planet earth. But we do operate in the heavens where God sits and is his heavenly reign and his abode. We actually every time you go in prayer in the name of Jesus, you are constantly going up to his courtroom, the throne room. And guess who's all there watching? The devils and the angels. This is why we have to speak. This is why our tongue does the work. This is how we do battle is through our mouths and what we speak. So when you and and Jesus gave us his name. So when you speak and you speak in the name of Jesus, you are speaking authority and demonstrating it not only to the earthly or the heavenly realm in that throne room area in the courtroom, but you're also demonstrating here on earth. And guess what? Below the earth. Why below the earth? Because the devil was defeated. F E T E D. He lost his feet when he was a serpent who had feet and he has he was a serpent who had no feet. He had a crawl on his belly. He gets below our feet in the name of Jesus. Which by the way, he's also below all the creeping crawies. He's below spiders. He's below anything that crawls on the earth. This is the power and the authority that the name of Jesus is granted to us. Now I'm going to show you how this works. So let's go a little further because you now that you understand where it applies which is the heaven above the earth and then the earth below. It says now every tongue remember I said it's spoken word. So every language this is what the word tongue means should confess. Look at this. Acknowledge profess promise. You're saying in the name of Jesus I profess and I promise you healing in the name of Jesus. Do you see how that works? That is using the authority that we've been given. So you should confess or profess that Jesus Christ, the word Christ there means anointed. So Jesus is anointed. He is Lord. Look at what that word Lord means. Supreme in authority. I want you to understand something. The word Lord means supreme in authority. But when you speak in the name of Jesus, not the name of the Lord. Because see, the devil thinks he's supreme being and wants to be called Lord. Are you wondering why some of your prayers are not being answered? Are you using the name of Jesus? Or are you just saying, "Hey, in the Lord's name, if you really want your prayers to change and be effective, continue to watch this message." Keep in mind, you should be analyzing yourself every day. You should be looking at yourself. Look at your church. Look at your Bible time with the Lord. Look at your relationship with the Lord. Are you effective in your ministry? Are you impacting others lives? You know, I I have a sister-in-law. We I've been interceding now for a handful of months now, and I'm really really going after the devils and telling them to get below my feet in the name of Jesus, the son of God. I I mean, I'm going all out now. And she texts me. We haven't hardly text in years. And in the last couple weeks, she's been texting me. But she made a little odd statement there. Says, "Matt, you are powerful." I'm like, "No, I give God the glory." But see, they recognize it. They see it. They hear it. They know. This is why you have the right and the authority to use the name of Jesus and affect those around because they know in their spirit they will be listening. They will hear. They will know. They will recognize that you're the one doing it and they're going to be like they're they should be thanking you. They may not know. They may not know so much in the sense of you're actually doing it, but they can feel it in their spirit. Someone's praying for them. Someone's taking care of them. And then to top it off, when they come into you, and anyone who comes up to you, if you're living your life like this, I promise you, they notice. They take uh they they notice, they see it, they feel it, they know something's different. This is how we're supposed to be operating as believers in Christ. So every tongue, that's the language, that's our spoken tongue, our words, confess, meaning you're speaking it with your mouth, that Jesus Christ, the anointed, is Lord to the glory. By the way, that word glory means very apparent of God. He's the son of God. And who is God? He's the supreme divinity and of course we call him the father which then he becomes a parent to us. He is parent. He's dad. He is that and I did a teaching on father and who he is and trying to build your relationship with him and not to build your relationship based on the known relationships you have here on the earth but try to build it through the word of God through the father through the son Jesus. follow Jesus' example and whatever Jesus did, he did it because of his father. Because of what he saw through his father. So this is where we get to come in and say, "Okay, well, I'm going to do what I saw Jesus do." Name of Jesus, you're given the authority. You get to heal people, lift them up, get them up walking. That is our responsibility. And saving souls at the same time. This is how we become fruitful. This is how we multiply. But it starts sp with spending the time in the private secret place with the Lord. Boy, I keep going back to that, don't I? I've taught that multiple times now. Oh man, I got to actually probably over 50 times in the last two, three years I've taught about being in the secret place with the Lord. Oh my word. Let's continue on. Look at this in John 14:13 and 8 through 18. and whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the father may be glorified in the son. So, we're going to pause here and let's expand this verse. You know, it is amazing. I like this teaching method. It gives you a whole new perspective of what Jesus is saying in the scriptures. Now, this is Jesus talking. He says, "And whatsoever, anything that you ask, any that any that the word whatsoever means any and then whatever you're talking about in context, any that ye shall ask." Look at what the word ask. Beg, call, require. And look at the word in fixed position meaning now. I require now. Okay? And then he says, "My name," which by the way, his name means authority that I will do. Look at what he's going to do. This is Jesus talking. He says to make, agree, cause. We're going to band together that the father may be esteemed in the son. This is whole. So you are building your relationship with Jesus and the father. So everything you do in the name of Jesus is going to go direct to the father. We're going to see what Jesus does when he goes to see the father here in a moment. But I want you to see that he is coming in agreement with you when you use the name of Jesus. The name of Jesus, the son of God, his only begotten son. You've, you know, like I said, the devil tries to sneak in and tries to make himself lord. Because see, how do the demons know who you're speaking of? And if they think they have any way out that you open the door for that means anything but the name of Jesus the son of God, they're going to use that. They're going to use whatever method they can to not answer your prayers. When the reality is God because see when God answers your prayers, those demons have to follow. So if you're not getting that movement in your life, you're not getting the breakthrough of your healing, you're not getting breakthrough of your financial situation, these are the things that we need to pay much attention to the name of Jesus because the demonic activity can say, well, he said in the Lord, well, I'm Lord and I don't want to do it. You see how the demons think you what was it a couple weeks ago? We taught what of a a Christian to be aware and cunning. We got to be aware and cunning. We got to make it so they can't get out of our words because we're fighting a battle of words. Now, amen. Let's continue on to verse 14. If Now, we're coming into conditional statements. So, if you're having trouble getting your prayers answered, let's look at the conditions that are put on the request. if which is conditional. Ye shall ask anything in my name. I look at this. He's emphatic about it. Will do or I'm going to make her do it. He says he's going to make her do it. But he says you have to ask in my name. If you're not at the Lord's will be done. Amen. you're not having an effective prayer because the Lord's will is he wants to heal you. He wants to bless you. But you have to do it through whom you believe which is the son of God. He's the one who died for us. He's the one who pardoned us. So our sins are forgiven. Now we are considered righteous and justified. So where do we go with sanctification in the name of Jesus? The authority that we have, we speak it out. If you're not doing this part, this is hindering you, holding you back. And you should be sensing this and being aware of it, especially if you're listening to this message. The Holy Spirit is trying to show you something here. Pay attention. Verse 15 here again. Here's the condition. If ye love me, keep my commandments. I want you to see this. If you look at the word love there means in a social moral sense. For those of you who are not divorced because you love one another and you have children, you have made it a priority to keep your family together. You're not allowing the dark evil curses and thoughts to come in and tear you apart. You work around it. I remember back in the day marriage counseling, they they came to a statement where they said uh as long as you do not have the word divorce as part of your vocabulary, you tend to overcome because you let go, forgive, move on. And that's on both sides. Okay? This is how you go through. You power through that. You you pray and you give it to the Lord. You trust in him. But you're doing this out of this moral sense. What's morality in a world that well marriage is oh sleep together for nine months and see if it works out and see but a moral sense if you go back just 50 years ago getting a divorce was taboo. Maybe 75 years ago now but it was taboo. You don't want to do that. you didn't do that or you were considered scorned. But look at what he's saying in a social or moral sense. So in other words, you've got to love God this way. You're putting him as a priority, as an important factor of your life. He's the one that's going to work with you and you work with him. Notice though how conditional this is. If you do this, you love me in this moral, social sense. Look at this. You guard my commandments. What are his commandments? To love him with all of your heart, mind, soul, body. You are loving him in that moral sense, social sense. You're saying to the outside world, I'm choosing to live godly by putting God first because I love him. And because you're choosing to do that, here's the if conditional. Anything you ask in the name of Jesus, it will be given. Jesus will do it. He will make it happen. He will make it done. This is the power and the authority that we've been given. Oh, hallelujah. This is awesome. And look at we have to guard his commandments. We have to remember it's an act on our part. Let me tell you something here. When you get up in the morning, you're going to find my week fluctuates. Right now, I haven't started my new job, but today, Saturday, today's the day we go shopping. We went and looked at the new homes this morning. Progress is being made. We're going to have the keys on the day before Thanksgiving. The tiles in, you know, they're getting everything in there and the um uh all the uh cabinets are in all stuff. It's getting exciting. But we do that and then we go and uh do our shopping today. Reload the house with food and what have you. Um, but usually Monday through Friday, first thing I do when I get up, I'm reading the word of God. I'm praying. But Saturday, I have to change it, move it around. So, I've been doing the interceding in the morning, Monday through Friday. Well, guess what? I'm going to do my interceding today. It'll be this evening. Had a busy day. Did all that shopping and now I'm speaking and teaching this word here. So, I have to adjust, but I have to make a point of it. I have to guard the commandments because he is my priority. So I'm moving around my day and that is perfectly acceptable. You don't have to have a set time adjust and adapt to what your schedule is. You just make sure he is your priority. You guard his commandments. And to love him is to make him a part of your life. You should be when you're going like grocery shopping, you got a new recipe. You're picking up something you've never picked up before at the grocery store. Man, Lord, I can't find it. Where is this? I mean, my husband today in Walmart, I'm on the app looking for disposable gloves of all things. I couldn't find it where I thought it would be. It wasn't. And then anyways, I kept thinking, well, maybe it's by the cleaning spice. It sure was. But I'm on the app looking for what aisle it's on. And Lord, where is this? And he helped us. That is uh you you know, he's part of my daily life. I'm going to ask him about something silly like that. That's where we need to get with our relationship with the Lord every day and especially if you're a cunning aware Christian and you somebody says something and it triggers. It's like a red flag and that's when you say, "Oh yeah, but we've got to forgive them and let them go." You change the subject and then you pray with them right then and there. It defeats the whole situation. This is the using the power of our tongue and the authority of the name of Jesus being effective to everything around us. Everyone, everything in the heaven above, on the earth here and below the earth. Let's continue on. Verse 16. Now Jesus is talking about this. And I will pray. He's he's joining with us. Interrogate, request the father. I love that. He's going to go to the father and he's going to question the father as to can this be done? What is it that it becomes a priority where we have to answer no? Because sometimes he's going to answer no. Because see, even though you're praying for somebody to get saved and you pray, as long as you're persistent, the Holy Spirit will continue to work on that person. Uh the moment you give up, who knows what happens. But yes, that person can refuse all the way till their death. That's their free will. They get to do whatever. But what happens is when you're praying with them, the Holy Spirit takes opportunities to open their eyes and show them something and he brings them closer to making the decision for Christ. And sometimes you'll have victory, sometimes you won't. So he interrogates, he questions, where is this going? What's going to happen? He questions his father this way. And he goes, "And he shall give." This is he's he's talking uh Jesus is talking. He's going to give. He's going to bestow, bring forth, commit, deliver, grant you another. This is a different the comforter, the Holy Spirit. He's the intercessor, the consoler, the advocate. Because what if we don't know someone who got may have gotten saved, but they passed away? We don't know, but God knows. So, the comforter is going to be there to be with us, to comfort us. Jesus says he's going to be there with you all the time. Watch this. That he may abide. He's going to stay, dwell, endure. He's going to remain and stand with you forever into perpetuity. This is the Holy Spirit, the comforter being with you at all times through everything. So even if you're not getting your answer right away, the comforter is there and he's holding your hand and he knows you prayed that and you prayed it in the name of Jesus. And God and Jesus and the Holy Spirit are working together to bring together what you asked for to make it manifest to give it to you in the name of Jesus. Hallelujah. Verse 17, even the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him, but ye know him, for he dwelleth with you, and you and shall be in you. This is very powerful because I want you to see something. Look at this. Even the spirit of truth, what you're dealing with is spirits, familiar spirits, demonic spirits, the spirit of wisdom, the spirit of knowledge, the spirit of understand. And by the way, there's a spirit of wisdom, God's wisdom, and there's a spirit of wisdom, earthly wisdom. Here you have the spirit of truth. He's showing you. And we know that in today's world, truth becomes what's truth to me when that's not the real issue. The fact is, and that's the truth. Okay? So even the spirit of truth, he's verifying this is the spirit. He's current. He's an air. Uh he's of the air. whom the world the world cannot receive, cannot take him. Look at the world as an orderly arrangement. God has put everything in an orderly arrangement. It everything is military and it has rank. It is in order. And once we learn that, by the way, boy, we can be really effective in this. And the world cannot receive, cannot take this Holy Spirit or comforter. And it sees him, but it can't discern him. This this spirit is baffling wind and backwards to them. Think of it like this. Hamas in Israel today and all of the things that went on this past week. You got people out there voting for Palestine and you got people who are voting for Hamas and what they're saying. I mean, this is how backwards this is. I saw one video of a guy talking to a reporter. She talked about beheading the babies and he's like that's just fake because nobody ever does it. And even her mom came out and said, "Yeah, we did it. Do you see?" And but they can't see it. They can't discern the Holy Spirit in all of this. They cannot discern the comforter. This guy is so angry. He's so upset with what's going on and he thinks he knows the right answer when he doesn't even accept the terrorist admission to what they did. That's crazy. That I can't even explain that. It's just so weird and crazy to me. But they cannot. It's baffling. It's backwards. But look, they don't know him to know. Absolutely no. They do not know him. Absolutely. They don't know him. I heard of that Jesus. Yeah, he's okay. But they don't know him. They don't know the Holy Spirit. They don't know Jesus. But you know him and he dwells. He stays and abides with you. And look at this. He shall be in which is a fixed and relation of rest to you. So while you're waiting for your prayers, you're at rest in the Holy Spirit. Isn't that amazing? Because that's what he does to you. This is awesome. And look what he further says in verse 18. I will not leave. I'm not going to lay you aside and leave you comfortless. I'm not going to leave you bererieved or an orphan. I will come. I'm going to go with you. I'm going to accompany you. I'm going to appear with you. I'm going to appear to you and I'm going to be with you. This is what Jesus is saying. You will not be left alone. Keep that in mind. Keep that up upfront. This is the anointing of the Holy Spirit. when you guys are abiding, you have this gift, the authority of his name. And he gives you the rest and the comfort that you need so that you can move forward as you continue to pray. You're not afraid. You know, when all this jihad stuff was being declared, I went immediately into intercessor. Yes, I was upset and affected by it for a few hours initially, but my prayers went in for every Jew and for every Christian. And I said, "Not do not let one get lost or um uh lose in any way, but let them be in authority and let them be saved and kept from the enemy." And it actually turned out to be a very peaceful jihad. I think there was just one teacher who was stabbed in France of all the news that I'm aware of. And I get a lot of it, but today, Saturday, I haven't seen a whole lot today. It's been a busy day. But that is absolutely amazing. But that's the authority that we have. You see, here's the month of August. What are we going into Halloween? What are the witches and the warlocks and all these people doing right now? They're casting spells and curses. You know what I did at the beginning of this month? Because I'm cunning and I'm aware. And in the secret place with the Lord, I said, "Every curse that they speak, Lord, I forgive them immediately." So, they're now ineffective and cannot do anything and be profitable. That's how you fight the enemy. You get cunning. You get aware. I was aware of Halloween. I knew what these people were doing behind the scenes. See, they're working harder than you. They're out at midnight doing evil things. Actually, there's scripture that tells you that they can't even sleep until they do something evil. So while they're doing that, I went into my sacred place and says, "Hey, we're going to stop those now." And then I said, "Lord, stop them from cursing. Keep them from going to shut their mouths." I did that in in California about the weather because they kept talking about a drought. I hear we had so much rain. It was like, "Really? Really? The lakes were all full up again." It's like, stop them from cursing. It's like they want to go back to being a drought. It was a piece of news that they were living on. But no, you got to let it go. This is where we the believer get to be effective and powerful behind the scenes. Amen. Amen. Oh, hallelujah. In the name of Jesus. We are talking about the name of Jesus. John 15 where six and seven. If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch and is withered and men gather them and cast them into the fire and they are burned. You see, when you are not spending time with the Lord, you are ineffective. You are heading towards being burned and shriveling up and dying. This is why your health, you're affected. I just taught on this a couple weeks ago. Your health is affected by this because you dry up and that becomes kindle for fire. You get to burn. So you have to stay in Christ. He otherwise he's going to throw you outside away and you're going to wither, shrivel, and men are going to gather you up. See, this gives authority to others over you, and your prayers won't be effective. Here's the condition. You got to be abiding with the Lord. Oh, so powerful. Verse seven here again. Here's the condition. If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you. You get what you ask for. Now, if you're asking to win the lottery and God knows what that's going to do to you, because I don't know if you realize how many people commit suicide when they win the lottery, or how many are murdered because family members are trying to steal the money from them. If you're going to win the lottery, he's got to make you cunning in a way. He's got to change your heart and your mind in order to manage that money. So, if you're not letting him do that, he's going to tell you no until he until you let him change your heart and mind. But if you're asking him to meet your needs, he will meet them. Everything will be met. And all you got to do is abide. Actually, he does it automatically. I would never have to pay for our finances or anything. And yet, I still haven't started my new job yet. And yet, and we're paying more out right now than we're receiving in, but we do have money saved and prepared. And now we're going to be paying less because of the buy out of the houses. God is good. He is providing and it's all in his perfect timing. This is how he works. But look at what he says here in the deep part of the scripture. Abide. You're going to stay and dwell in me and Jesus. You got to let his words hit utterance. His words need to utter utter into you. Abide in you. You need to be able to remember scripture. You know, as we saw this pickup truck today driving down the freeway passes, he had Philippians 4:13. Well, he didn't put the scripture on there. And you know, it's hard to remember scriptures at all times. This is a popular one, but anything is possible through Christ who strengthens me. And I remembered it. But I I I wish people would put the whole scripture there. And anyway, that's a whole another ball game. But look, Dwell, let his words uttered. Let the utterance be in you. By the way, that utterance is the Holy Spirit. When you are speaking in tonesues and you don't know what to speak and say, he manifests himself by speaking in tonesues in another language, a secret language only between you and God. And it could be a a language that existed 5,000 years ago. Who knows? God knows how to speak with you without the enemy hearing you. That's utterance. That's how that works in the name of Jesus. Because you need that because you're in warfare. You don't want the enemy to know what you're praying unless you're going after the enemy because now you're telling the enemy, you better run. That's what we get to do as a Christian. This is the authority and the power that we have been given. So where is the power? Where are the Christians doing this? Who are you? Are you being that Christian in that secret place? You ought to be. And you should be seeing him manifest in your life in the name of Jesus. And look, it says, "And what ye ask? You ask what?" And look at this uncertainty because you don't know what's going to happen. Like the jihad thing, I didn't know what was going to happen, where that was going, but we can prevent it. You know, Perry Stone teaches about visions and dreams that he had. He and they were bad, but he goes into prayer about it and now it prevents it. So, was it prophecy that he was able to prevent it? But if you're shown these things, but you don't know what it is, but you're praying in the tongues, you're praying in the name of Jesus, whatever. You say, "Lord, I'm giving this to you. I don't even know what it is, but but you're praying for it." He knows and he is taking care of it. Says uncertainty. Look at this. You will. And what does that word? Means you're determined. I'm determined to get my cousin saved. I'm determined to get healing. Oh Lord, I'm going to keep coming to you. Um there's a pastor I know, Pastor Oed Martinez in Palm Springs, I think is where they're at. Anyways, his mother, she used to walk up and down the altar at church with her checkbook. Here I am, Lord. I need you. I need you. And she'd be laying it down and then the Lord would provide determination. And Jesus talked about I I wish I put that. I didn't put it in here. It' be a very long message if I did. But look at the judge where that woman, the widow, kept pestering him. He says, "I'm just going to give you what you want because you keep pestering me and I got to let I got to get you away from me." How much more will Jesus answered if you keep being determined and persistent in your prayer request? And then he will eventually give you if he's telling you no and he's showing you why, he will show you that in scripture. If you're abiding with him, his scripture will manifest and it will show, oh, I guess I can't pray for that. Let's change this. And you start praying and he will show you. You got to be prepared for that. Hallelujah. And then and it shall be done. Look at this. Cause to be and then become unto you. You get the answer to your prayer request. Now, I want to show you how, remember I was talking about this being heavenly on the earth and under the earth. Look at how this works because Jesus did this. Matthew 16:19. You can also find this in Matthew 18. He says, "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." I want you to see the deeper meaning of this. So, look at what's a key do. It shuts a lock. Oh, by the way, keys open locks. So, who is the key? The name of Jesus. So, Jesus says, I'm giving you the keys. That's he gave you the comforter. He gave you the name of the his power of his name and he also gave it to you in a conditional manner where you have a relationship with him. And as you're righteous and you're continuing to be righteous, abiding and dwelling in him, those keys are given unto you. What do the keys do? They're It's a key to the kingdom of heaven, royalty, realm of heaven, where God abodess. It's the sky. Look at this. It's where the power exists and eternity exists. And look, and whatever you bind, what is that word bind? Knit, tie, be wind. I when I saw wind, I thought that was I stuck that in here. Have you ever tried to go forward against a windstorm and you just can't get very far or it's so hard on you that you you just can't remember windstorm many many years ago in our uh house we just left. My daughter was trying to get the the lawn furniture tied down. We weren't watching the weather and I could just see her hair blowing behind her and she's leaning into the wind but she was fighting it. Well, here you go. You are leaning into these winds fire because you are binding some you're bound. You can't go further. That's what the Holy Spirit does. Paul was buffeted. He couldn't go forward. You can go read more about that. But that's what he's talking about. This is what binding does. And then look at this on. By the way, that means a time, a place, and an order. A whole order, a command on time. Now lo Previous Next Home
- SALVATION OVERCOMES | House of Faith Ministries (HoFM)
SALVATION OVERCOMES To reveal that true salvation, found only in Jesus Christ, empowers believers to overcome sin, adversity, and the deception of evil. Through faith, confession, and trust in the Lord, salvation becomes not only the key to eternal life but also the strength, peace, and victory that sustain us in this present world. SALVATION OVERCOMES Minister Lisa Kane November 5, 2025 Objective: To reveal that true salvation, found only in Jesus Christ, empowers believers to overcome sin, adversity, and the deception of evil. Through faith, confession, and trust in the Lord, salvation becomes not only the key to eternal life but also the strength, peace, and victory that sustain us in this present world. Synopsis: Salvation Overcomes draws from Psalm 37 and other key scriptures to show that the distinguishing mark of the righteous is their trust in the Lord’s salvation. While the wicked may appear to prosper, their end is destruction; the salvation of the upright, however, brings peace and divine strength. Minister Lisa Kane teaches that the experience of salvation walk of confession, partnership with Christ, and faith in Christ causes the believer to overcome in any situation including death. Through passages such as Romans 10, 2 Corinthians 6, and Ephesians 1, she reveals that believers are sealed by the Holy Spirit, strengthened in times of trouble, and called to live lives worthy of the gospel. By declaring and living in the reality that “salvation is of the Lord,” we rise above adversity, reflect God’s glory, and demonstrate that through Christ we are more than conquerors—for truly, Salvation Overcomes. Inspired Teaching - Written and/or Transcribed from Video Above: Psalm 37:37-40 NKJV 37 Mark the blameless man, and observe the upright; For the future of that man is peace. 38 But the transgressors shall be destroyed together; The future of the wicked shall be cut off. 39 But the salvation of the righteous is from the Lord; He is their strength in the time of trouble. 40 And the Lord shall help them and deliver them; He shall deliver them from the wicked, And save them, Because they trust in Him. Ahhh…to be saved. Salvation makes the difference between a person living and walking in evil ways to a person living and walking in salvation. Salvation is from the Lord and we can choose to live by that salvation by choosing good. This decision allows us to be strong when it seems like evil is winning. I encourage you to read all of Psalm 37 as it makes a distinct difference between walking in salvation or being an evildoer. Acts 4:12 NKJV 12 Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.” Salvation comes from our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. He died on the cross to redeem us of our sins. Without that, we cannot be saved. With this salvation, we can choose to live godly lives and with that decision we overcome. Remember our opening scriptures: Psalm 37:37-38 NKJV 37 Mark the blameless man, and observe the upright; For the future of that man is peace. 38 But the transgressors shall be destroyed together; The future of the wicked shall be cut off. Those choosing Christ salvation lives in peace and the wicked shall be cut off. It is an understanding frustration when we see the wicked prosper and seem successful but remember, we have something much better and lasting throughout the ages – salvation from the Lord. Romans 10:10 NKJV 10 For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. And it takes speaking with our mouth, confession made unto salvation. I’ve taught this before that it is our mouth that makes the difference in how we walk in salvation, or deliverance over anything we face. We can declare Jesus is Lord over anything by reading verse 9: Romans 10:9 NKJV 9 that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. This is what saves us. We need to speak out loud. 2 Corinthians 6:1-2 NKJV We then, as workers together with Him also plead with you not to receive the grace of God in vain. 2 For He says: “In an acceptable time I have heard you, And in the day of salvation I have helped you.” Behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation. You can see from 2 Corinthians 6:1 that we work together – we speak God’s word and partner with our heavenly Father to not walk in vain, pride, or anything opposite salvation from the Lord. Today is the day of salvation. Ephesians 1:13-14 NKJV 13 In Him you also trusted, after you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation; in whom also, having believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise, 14 who[d] is the [e]guarantee of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, to the praise of His glory. This salvation places a seal over our lives guaranteeing our inheritance, in which we overcome. THANK YOU HEAVENLY FATHER! Jonah 2:9 NKJV 9 But I will sacrifice to You With the voice of thanksgiving; I will pay what I have vowed. Salvation is of the Lord.” While Jonah was in the belly of the fish, he cried out declaring salvation is of the Lord. It’s important to remember that in times of trouble, where it seems like there is nothing else we can do, we cry out to the Lord and declare salvation over that situation. Psalm 3:8 NKJV 8 Salvation belongs to the Lord. Your blessing is upon Your people. Selah Psalm 37:38 NKJV 39 But the salvation of the righteous is from the Lord; He is their strength in the time of trouble. Remembering salvation becomes a strength we draw on. Psalm 68:20 KJV 20 He that is our God is the God of salvation; and unto GOD the Lord belong the issues from death. You see salvation isn’t just overcoming death, it overcomes anything we face. We walk in peace…remember our opening scripture: Psalm 37:37 37 Mark the blameless man, and observe the upright; For the future of that man is peace. So, yes, our eternity in heaven is something to always look forward to but we can see God overcome current issues we face in the now. Philippians 1:27-30 NKJV 27 Only let your conduct be worthy of the gospel of Christ, so that whether I come and see you or am absent, I may hear of your affairs, that you stand fast in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel, 28 and not in any way terrified by your adversaries, which is to them a proof of perdition, but [f]to you of salvation, and that from God. 29 For to you it has been granted on behalf of Christ, not only to believe in Him, but also to suffer for His sake, 30 having the same conflict which you saw in me and now hear is in me. Knowing our salvation is from the Lord and choosing to walk in it, that becomes worthy of the gospel of Christ. This causes us to be a demonstration of what salvation can do for us. People will see the difference between evildoers and believers in Christ, and which one you represent. 1 Thessalonians 5:8-9 NKJV 8 But let us who are of the day be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love, and as a helmet the hope of salvation. 9 For God did not appoint us to wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ, God made salvation for us. Let’s choose to walk in that salvation and avoid the upcoming wrath set for the evildoers. Romans 8:37 NKJV 37 Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. After all, we are more than conquerors because Salvation overcomes. Home Previous Next
- VALUABLE AND INVALUABLE WORKS | House of Faith Ministries (HoFM)
VALUABLE AND INVALUABLE WORKS To teach believers the biblical distinction between works that have eternal value and those that do not, emphasizing that salvation is secure in Christ but that each person’s works will be tested by fire at the judgment seat of Christ. The goal is to encourage Christians to live in obedience, walk in the Spirit, and build on the foundation of Jesus with works that endure, producing spiritual fruit and eternal reward. < Back VALUABLE AND INVALUABLE WORKS Minister Lisa Kane February 15, 2024 Objective: To teach believers the biblical distinction between works that have eternal value and those that do not, emphasizing that salvation is secure in Christ but that each person’s works will be tested by fire at the judgment seat of Christ. The goal is to encourage Christians to live in obedience, walk in the Spirit, and build on the foundation of Jesus with works that endure, producing spiritual fruit and eternal reward. Synopsis: This message opens with prayer and then moves into a study of 1 Corinthians 3:8–15, where Paul explains that all believers share the same foundation in Jesus Christ, but their works—whether valuable (gold, silver, precious stones) or invaluable (wood, hay, stubble)—will be revealed by fire on judgment day. Pastor Lisa stresses that salvation is secure by grace, not lost by failures, but the quality of each believer’s life and obedience determines eternal reward. The teaching explores how different types of believers respond to the Word of God, drawing from the parable of the sower (Matthew 13:18–23): some never grasp it, others receive with joy but fall away under pressure, some are choked by worldliness and riches, while others bear fruit abundantly. These responses illustrate the difference between fruitless and fruitful Christian living. Practical application is given through Colossians 3:23–25 and John 14:12, highlighting that true valuable works are those done “from the Spirit unto the Lord,” not for men’s approval. Examples include praying for leaders rather than condemning them, walking in forgiveness, and seeking God diligently—each act counted as valuable before Him, regardless of outward results. The message warns against judging others harshly, reminding believers that Romans 14 teaches all will stand before Christ’s judgment seat. Instead, Christians are urged to live in humility, obedience, and faith, allowing the Spirit to guide their works so that they produce lasting fruit. Valuable works flow from relationship with God, trust in His sovereignty, and obedience to His Word, while invaluable works—though done in the flesh—will be consumed by fire. The teaching closes with encouragement: whether one stumbles or walks faithfully, salvation remains secure in Christ (Romans 10:9). Yet the call is to build wisely on the foundation of Jesus, storing up eternal treasures that will endure, so that each believer may enter eternity not empty-handed but richly rewarded. Inspired Teaching: Hello and welcome to the House of Faith Ministries. I'm Lisa Kane and I'm recording this message on Thursday, February 15, 2024. Welcome. This message is called Valuable and Invaluable Works. Let's open up in a word of prayer. Father God, we thank you for your word. We thank you for the anointing of your presence in our hearts and minds. And we thank you for your prepare preparation of our hearts and minds to receive this word. That we are prepared to learn knowledge today of who you are and what you are and what you're doing in our lives. And that we actually have a goal to look forward to, Father God. And that we operate and practice on that goal, Father God, as we run our race. We thank you, Lord, in the mighty name of Jesus, we pray. Amen. And amen. Amen. Let's go to our opening scriptures. This is called valuable and invaluable works. 1 Corinthians 3:8. Now he that planteth and he that waterth are one, and every man shall receive or to take his own reward. That word reward there means to pay for service wages according to his own labor. Reminder that when you see the scriptures up on the screen, the bolded word means that it's the original word in the King James version. And the words in the parenthesis are other translations that that word could have been been interpreted as going back to the original language. Uh whether Greek for the New Testament or um yeah different languages there but the Hebrew for the Old Testament and I use the Strongs uh concordance or the dictionary for that. So welcome. I want to uh share something about this message. The goal here is to get your eyes on judgment day. Now, part of this is so that you can understand salvation better because I'm hoping that this is going to break through as a very powerful, knowledgeable tool of what we as the church should be teaching and preaching. We do not teach on the spirit of fear and we should not be teaching that anyone can lose their salvation. You know, you can rebel against God, rebel all you want, but God is [Music] patient, long-suffering, and he will go to hell to get you back out of there if he must. You see, don't limit God for who he is and what he can do. God is who he is, and this is what he's going to do. So as you can see here in in this uh 1 Corinthians 3:8 in the first three chapters here 1 Corinthians Paul is dealing with the Corinthians on the debate of I am of Apollos I am of Paul and you see Paul is saying listen we are all of one spirit which is Christ our Lord Jesus the Messiah. So he's saying in that walk, you may plant and water. You you each have different things that you're going to do and you're going to receive your own reward according to your own labor, whatever that may be. So like in my case, whether anyone ever listens to these messages or not doesn't matter. What matters is that I took the liberty to go and do it, pray to God, give it to the Lord. And and in reality, it's kind of a vlog for me teaching me the scriptures. This is how I teach my spirit. And then I'm letting you watch and observe. It's up to you how you want to uh be in ministry with the Lord. He blesses whether you're in the wilderness or in the city. He blesses as long as you put him first. Matthew 6:33. Seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and then all these things will be added unto you. So, and remember, salvation is of the Lord. It's not by might nor by power, but by my spirit, says the Lord. So that means what we're doing is we're letting the spirit go ahead of us and do his part. And we're just wherever we go, we be in the right place to say the right thing, to pray the right thing, um or to know what to pray for, how to pray, that sort of thing, and hope that someone gets saved. Now, keep in mind that there are different levels of people Our people are at different levels of salvation. Some of them will confess once and that's the only time they'll ever do it. Remember the thief on the cross? He was saved and all he did was confess there on the cross and acknowledge Jesus of who he is. So there are going to be people that are going to be like that and they're going to end up in a dire situation. But remember that they will call out when it comes towards the end there. and the Holy Spirit is not going to forget them and he's going to be with them. And then there are others that are going to get saved and they're going to go live their own life, come back to God when they feel like it, go back and live their own life again. You're going to have these different levels of people's salvation. Um or they're going to people are going to be at different levels with their salvation. And there's nothing wrong with that. God knows each every individual that exists. Let's continue with scripture because I want you to see and understand this. 1 Corinthians 3:11-15. So, we're going to be talking about judgment day. It says, "For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ." So, I want to lay something down here first. Okay. When you accept Jesus Christ into your heart, you actually laid well, Christ laid the foundation for you. He's the one who died on the cross. He's the one who rose from the grave. It is his it is his blood that has redeemed you. So that means when you accept that that foundation is put under your feet and you stand on him. That is your rock. That is your foundation. So from that moment forward you will be judged. Whether you live for Christ or not you will be judged. Now see salvation is of the Lord. He chooses you. So, it's up to you of what valuable works will be there on the day of judgment that will survive the fire. Let's go to scripture and look at how this fire works. This is very interesting and very important. Verse 12. Now if any man build upon this foundation, gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble, every man's work shall be made manifest. For the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire, and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is. We'll continue here in a minute. So meaning that once that foundation is under your feet, because remember he says the foundation of Jesus, everything is laid on that foundation. And remember many be remember your first love and remember the beginning of your life. You could have been one of those who were like a yo-yo. I know this is how I was. I believed in Christ. I grew up in the church. I accepted Christ at six. I was baptized at nine, water baptized at nine. And um as a young woman in the Lord, sometimes I was on fire for God. And then there were other times he was the farthest thing from my mind. Did that mean that I did not have salvation when he was the furthest thing from my mind? No. It meant that his foundation was there, but everything I was doing was invaluable. Nothing of value toward God was being added into my pile. So, had I died at that time, I would have had the times that I was on fire for God, those values would be there and they would be right next to me. But, and they would have survived the fire. What survives fire? Look at what's in the the the values that he's looking at. Gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble. You see, gold, silver, precious stones will melt, but they don't disintegrate. Wood, hay, stubble disintegrates. And it does not, there's nothing left of it. Once it burns, it's done. It's gone. So, this is what I'm trying to explain is that you have a future ahead of you where you're going to face God on judgment day. Let's continue on to verse 14. If any man's work abide, which he hath built there upon, meaning built upon the the foundation of Christ, he shall receive a reward, or you're going to be paid for your services. I love that. The translation of that word reward means to be paid for services, wages. And then if any man's work shall be burned, consumed holy, meaning the wood, the hay, the stubble, and there was nothing left. It was consumed completely. Look at this. It says he shall suffer loss, which means be injured, but he himself shall be saved. Look at this. Delivered, protect, preserved, healed. Yes. So as by fire. You see, you don't lose your salvation. It just means you came into heaven with nothing of value of what you did as works here on the earth when you walked on the foundation of Jesus. I hope you're grasping this because this changes the dynamics of things. You see, I'm not talking about um living for Christ and doing it fakeely. I'm going to give you some examples of what it's like to do something appropriately in the living word of God that becomes valuable and becomes valuable for you. Because see, when you're working out your salvation with the Lord, it is about you and your presence with the Lord, it's not about what the outcome of whether somebody gets saved or not by what you do. It's not by the outcome of whether they believe or not because the Holy Spirit is going to work on them. It is about you and your walk with Christ and whether you're putting valuable works into your life onto the foundation of Christ that will pass the test of fire. Because if you're not putting anything valuable there, let's go look at what Jesus has to say in John 14:12. Verily, verily, I say unto you, he that believeth or have faith on me. The works that I do, he shall do also, and greater works than these shall he do, because I go unto my father. So, he's your foundation. You're supposed to be doing valuable works. Now, God understands your free will. He knows who you are. He knows what kind of person you are. And he has built those personalities into salvation. And he explains it in the parable of the swer. Let's go look at that because I think once you see this and grasp it, we can elaborate further on these values. Amen. These workable value, values of work. Uh we're in Matthew 13:18-23. Hear ye therefore the parable of the swer. When anyone heareth or gives in an audience the word of the kingdom. So this is something said or thought of whether and this is on the kingdom of God. And then you put it together. You understand it. Not look at look at what this is saying. When one hearth the word of the kingdom and understandeth it not. You couldn't put it together. You see somebody's talking to you about salvation but you're not getting it. And if you watch a lot of the videos on social media, you will see some kids questioning things like, "But why? Why is he allowing this evil? Why does it have to be done this way? Why? I think all ways can get to God." You see, watch this. Watch. This is very powerful. Then cometh. So when one heareth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth it, not could not put it together, then cometh the wicked one, and catcheth away that which was sown in his heart. This is he which received seed by the wayside. If you're a gardener, you will know that there are some plants and seeds that are very easy to germinate from seed from uh uh starting a seed. You plant a seed, you water it, you know, you do whatever you got to do to make that seed. But there are some that are very very temperamental. Well, this is one of them. These are people um that has that personality. They hear the word of God and they're questioning it and the questions aren't meshing to the level of faith because they're not understanding it. So, they're not receiving. And so, the Satan comes in and quickly snatches them away and gets them out of there. And they feel much better to rebel and to fight um things that they think are right. You know, love is love. You know what I'm talking about there. They think that is right when God is saying out of obedience whether you understand it or not. Yeah, I love you but I don't love your sin and I call that a sin because I tell you to be fruitful and multiply and that sin will not be fruitful and multiply. It's just because you don't understand that yet. That's okay. That's okay. But that means you have to come into obedience. These people don't. So you can see that personality here. They're not going to have any valuable works because they failed to establish the foundation of God in their lives. Let's continue on and look at the next level in the parable of the sewer. Verse 20. But he that received the seed into stony places, stony places is hardhearted. Watch this one. The same is he that heareth the word and anon or straight level with joy receive it. He receives. He's hard-hearted, but he received yet hath he not root in himself, but durth for a while. For when tribulation or pressure, persecution ariseth because of the word, by and by, he is offended, which means scandalized or entrapped. Now, did he not become a believer? No. He received it with joy. The issue is is his personality. His personality did not allow him to drill in the root of looking at the word, finding out who Jesus. Now, there's two parts to that. This person could have done it on his own through the Holy Spirit or the one who led him to the Lord didn't show him that these are things you have to do to uh to make your foundation your foundation in Christ. Sure. But either way, the spirit's involved and the spirit goes forth and this person didn't grab it or didn't sustain it and got caught up in the scandalized and got offended and they accuse the church of everything and anything. So, you've got that personality out there, right? You think that person is making valuable works or they're just accusing the church. You see, I'm going to teach you how to turn that into a valuable work appropriately and hopefully open your eyes to help change the hearts and the minds of these people simply by praying and letting the Holy Spirit do his part. But you get the valuable work out of it because you prayed. We're going to we'll show you that. It's awesome. This is a great teaching. Uh verse 22. He also that receiveth seed among the thorns is he that heareth the word and the let me read that again. I'm g start again. He also that receiveth seed among the thorns is he that heareth the word and the care of this world or the distraction of this world and the deceitfulness delusion of riches wealth choked or strangled completely the word and he becometh unfruitful or barren. Okay. So now I'm going to stop here. This is what the Christian most people see every day. They go to church, their church is teaching them to claim the values of wealth. They have their wealth. They're claiming their wealth. And it is all about wealth for them. And it is nothing to do with the world or the the word of God actually. It is all about themselves about how wealthy they are and how the cares of the world they get involved with. They get involved with royalty. Uh who's who. Uh the type of clothing keeping up with the Joneses. These are a type of Christian. Again, they're a Christian, but they're not putting anything valuable into the works that's going to be tried by fire, and those works are not going to be sustained. Now, let's look at the next one. I'm trying to show you all the little different ones here. Verse 23. But he that receives seed into the good ground is he that heareth the word and understandeth. He put it all together. He comprehended it, which also beareth fruit and bringeth forth. Some 100fold, some 60, some 30. Now there are believers in Christ who decide to go to the next level. So we got our foundation of Christ. We open the Bible, we read the Bible, we get into the word of God. We spend time in the secret place with the Lord. We praise God at home in everything we do at our jobs and at church. And we live the exemplary type of life that hopefully others will see and be hunger and hungry and thirsty for it and want it too. Now, what is a valuable work and what is an invaluable work? Because now that you see the different types of Christians out there, let's kind of get down to the root of what this is and and let's go to Colossians 3. We're start here in verse 23. Whatsoever ye do, do it heartily or from the spirit as to the Lord and not unto men. Very key there. We're talking from the spirit. We are not talking about works that are earthly works. We are talking spiritual works because we operate in the spirit. We do not fight against flesh and blood but against powers and principalities. Okay? And there's more to that scripture. You can read that scripture on your own if you like. Verse 24. Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance heir possession for ye serve the Lord Christ. You see how doing it from heartily from the spirit to the Lord and not unto men. This is what I was referring to earlier. You do your part. It doesn't matter the outcome of them because you're doing it. But you need to do it in the spirit. And I'm going to show that a little further. Verse 25. But he that doeth wrong or to be unjust shall receive the wrong which he hath done. And there is no respect of persons. You can do wrong. You can be a man, a woman, you can be black, white, you could be green, an alien, UFO, whatever you do wrong. You will have wrong come back onto you. There's what's called the Abrahamic curse and you can go look at that. The Abrahamic blessing and cursing and basically if you curse Israel, the curses are on you. You bless Israel, you will be blessed. And that blessing and cursing still applies to this day. So the valuable work has to do with the spirit now. Okay? Now remember this has nothing to do with whether you're going to enter heaven or not. You're going to enter heaven. It's a question of how you're going to enter heaven. You see, if you're putting in the valuable works, you're going to slide into heaven and you're going to be the cool man and you're going to be placed in a position because you've got your value of all the things. Of course, it comes with humility and things of that nature. So, but you're going to walk in like that because God has already blessed you because you had already started your spiritual life here in the earth on in your flesh. And that means your eternity already began. So, he's already teaching you positions in heaven that you're going to operate here and now. When you're not doing anything of value and it gets tested by fire and all that burns, you walk in, but you're going to have to go through training and other areas before you can be moved into into any position. Your inheritance is that you got into heaven. You just didn't get anything more out of it. As to what is more, heaven is a mystery. But I know this, it's better than this place. Amen. Now, what is a valuable uh thing here on earth that you can do? So, let's say you you see a pastor mess up, and I use this all the time uh in part of my analogies, especially when I remind you guys, listen, if you if I mess up, don't come attacking the messenger. Listen, the L the Lord will talk to me. And he doesn't. And I've I've done that through my history. If you watch my videos in history, you will see I have I was misquing um Joel 2:32. Is Joel 21:13 for I think I did it three messages in a row. But the Holy Spirit caught me and he taught me and I caught it. And the next message I said, "Oh, you know, I I didn't go re-record those messages. I shouldn't have to." This is how it works. Never go after the anointed one in a position. So if you have a leader in the church who is not following the principles of the Bible, meaning he's got a wobbly foundation going on. He's misleading people and there he's under a delusion and a deception because he's forgetting the foundation of the word of God. Your job if you want the valuable work out of this is you need to pray for him. That is a value of gold, silver and precious stones that will go into your pile and God is going to count it as valuable whether that pastor changes or not. You see it has nothing to do with that pastor and the outcome. It has to do with whether you were obedient and gave it to the Lord. Now, there is a calling that the Bible teaches us of how to go minister to a pastor if need be. Now, it could it may need to come from another pastor. It may need to come from his friend, but somebody will do it. But your prayer will go farther than anything you can say or condemn him in the public. You will not get anywhere. If you choose to condemn him and bring him down in public, all you're doing is putting an invaluable item in your pile. So, it's going to be burned. It's going to be that wood, the hay, the stubble. It's going to burn away. It ain't valuable. That's just one example. Now, how when you go to pray in the spirit, what are you praying? Look, I want you to understand um because the Lord's going to teach you how to pray. And I've been dealing with prayer since um well, the end of last year, November, December, maybe even as early as October. And then we started doing uh the new prayers. I had a new empowering prayers on the website. You can go check those out. And there is a big call for prayer right now in the churches. If you haven't caught on to that, you're not paying attention. I want you to pay attention. So look, look at how we should do this. How we get this valuable work in our pile. Hebrews 11:6. But without faith or persuasion, credence, it is impossible to please him. Who? Please God. For he that cometh to God must believe, have faith that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek out, investigate. No, notice, you are rewarded for seeking him out, no matter what the outcome is. I hope that you are grasping that because we're talking valuable works versus invaluable works. how to be a beloved believer in Christ and yet still have your reward and inheritance, not losing a salvation, but being able to walk in and still have something to walk in with that is valuable. And you'll be surprised because I I'll know this much. Many people and and you see this is why we're not God and we're not the Holy Spirit and we shouldn't try to do their jobs for them. Many people who face a crisis situation in their lives automatically call out to God. That is salvation. That's confession. This is why bad things happen. Sometimes it it needs to happen bad in order to wake you up because if everything's going good, why would you need God? You see, and I think a lot of people misunderstand that concept of it. You know, God is in control. God is in control of everything, good and evil. So once you grasp it and by the way that changed my my whole walk with Christ when that happened handful of years ago and I taught on it here it is acknowledging and realizing that when God is in control it's a it's a humbling factor in your life because suddenly okay God I don't know why I'm being attacked but I'm going to come to you I'm g praise you I'm going worship you and I'm going to act in obedience by coming to you and giving you this thing and I'm going to cast it out. But I am also asking help me fix my walk if I'm doing something wrong. Am I saying something wrong? Am I misunderstanding something wrong? That is a valuable prayer that goes in the pile. And then what happens is as you open your word of God, he begins to work in you through the spirit and your walk changes. Now sometimes go to Paul's life. Look at his life as a believer in Christ. He stood up against the sin of what was going on in the cities and he vocalized. He went to prison for it. He was buffeted by either the Holy Spirit, this the Satan, the spirits that were preventing him from going towards us. Cuz see, he knew in his mind that he had the keys to the kingdom of heaven. He knew that what he loosed was loosed and what he bound was bound. He knew that he can go forward and make a change in all of these areas and he tried and something stopped him. You see, he was moving into this region of spirituality while he was still a man and God being the one in control says, "Let's calm down. I know you got it. I need you to go here and do this." And this is where the Christian's life and walk changes. Paul was buffeted. It knocked him down. Whether he got sick, whether he he had a thorn in his side, whatever it was, we don't know really what that was. We can surmise. But either way, he was having some serious issues. Could have been with the mind. It could have been anything. This is where you come in and say, "Well, Lord, then I'm going to choose to have a relationship with you because I believe that you're in control. you're God and I'm just going to give it to you. And you see now God says, "Okay, now I want you here and he's going to show you and move you around." He's going to help you put your valuable works on the table. So it passes the test of fire. Amen. Romans 14:7-10. For none of us liveth to himself, and no man dieth to himself. I want you to catch this because Paul caught it. You see, it's not about doing this for even the valuable things that we want to put in our pile, but it is for us having that better relationship with Christ. And that whatever the outcome is as between the spirit, God, and that person, not you. And this is the scripture for that. For whether we live, we live into the Lord. And whether we die, we die unto the Lord. Whether we live therefore we or die, we are the Lord's. I hope you're getting this. Understand that whether you actually do the prayer and you pray for that person or you don't, you're still a believer in Christ because you are of the Lord. Now, you may live longer because you did it and you got the value in there or you may die a quicker death, but you're still of the Lord. I hope you're getting this. This is very powerful, very blatant, very straightforward scripture. You cannot deny. Look at verse 9 and 10. For to this end Christ both died and rose and revived that he might be Lord both of the dead and the living. Meaning both whether you choose to do a valuable thing for your life or you choose to do an invaluable work in your life. Oh, I hope you're catching this. But why dust thou judge thy brother? Or why dust thou set not thy brother? For we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ. You see now he's talking about exactly what I'm talking about. So if you're going to go judge your brother, he's saying go in the spirit and do it valuably. Do the work appropriately under the spirit of God. Give your brother to the Lord in the spirit. Don't go and condemn him. Don't go because see whether you're going to die or live. Christ died for both and you have to stand before the judgment seat. It doesn't matter. I hope you're getting this. I pray and I hope that others will follow my example and choose the the path where you put the valuable things down in the spirit on your foundation of Jesus Christ. But if you choose to walk away, I bless you and I I I give you to the Lord. I pray I forgive you. Remember who you forgive, Jesus forgives. So walk in forgiveness for your brother and sister in the Lord. You need to be doing that because when you're forgiving, there's another valuable item you are adding to the foundation that's going to pass the test of fire. But again, Jesus died for both. So, if you miss one time that you didn't do something valuable, it's not the end of the world. You catch it on the next one. You see, I don't want you to feel condemned or guilty because you missed something. What you simply do is you forgive and you move on. Forgive yourself. Again, that's a valuable work that you add to the pile. You turn your life around and you walk with Christ. I hope you're grasping this. This is awesome. Verse 10. For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that everyone may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad, worthless, worth, worthy or worthless on your body. By the way, notice that this is about your body. You know, um remember we are under a curse. When man fell, we become part of death. Every man is appointed to die once. Hebrews 9:27. And that means to die, we're aging. But every moment you spend with Christ, the aging slows down. So even though the curse is there, we can be an overcomer. We're still in this flesh. This flesh is still going to fall. But God sent his son. And that means our soul and our spirit, he's going to choose us. He's going to pull us out of this. We're going to be with him in eternity. Amen. Whether we did a valuable thing or a worthless or invaluable thing. I hope you're getting that. See, Romans 10:9 simply tells you that if you confess with your mouth, Jesus is Lord and believe that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. That's all it takes. So, the moment you're in a situation where you say, "Lord Jesus," and maybe nobody ever hears you say this, just the Holy Spirit, and you choose to do invaluable, you're saved. You see, this is why we can't condemn our brothers and sisters in the Lord. This is why we have to have compassion and love and forgiveness for them. We don't know what's going on in their hearts, but the Holy Spirit does. And it is possible and very highly probable that they called on Christ somewhere along their life because all of us face some sort of hardship in our lives. And I'm going to tell you right now, I've done my fair share of calling on Christ, saying, "Forgive me. Forgive me. Forgive me." especially when I get sick or anything of that nature and it's like h Lord what did I do and then I realize has nothing to do with that you know what I'm still you know what I be I I treat it like I'm kind of like Job where you know what devil you want to attack me with a sickness or whatever so be it I'm still going to worship God I'm still going to pray and of course I I go into my bed and I'm praying to the Lord and there I am I said Lord I know I'm being a whiny baby about this one but I need your divine intervention here to clear out this cold or sickness. And that's what I do. I'm not going to let it uh bring me down spiritually, spirit, morally spiritually because I still serve God and I'm going to still be obedient to him whether whatever happens because God comes first. Seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness and all these things will be added unto you. Matthew 6:33. 2 Corinthians 5:21. For he hath made him to be sin, an offense for us, who knew no sin, that we might be made the righteousness, equity, justification of God in him. You see, Christ did this for us to give us this moment. He died for us. He died for whether we choose to walk valuable with him or we choose to walk in invaluable works with him. It doesn't matter. He chose to die for us. Doesn't matter. We need to just repent. And this is where it comes very important, my friends, to be careful of your biblical principles that you stand on. I'm not saying you're going to lose your salvation, but you could bring a curse upon yourself. If you are teaching and leading people that you're of unsuress in whatever you're trying to teach, that's a sin. You need to forgive that. You need to forgive yourself and you need to ask the Lord to give you the wisdom and knowledge and understanding of that scripture so that you can teach it appropriately. Because if you got the call of teaching upon your life, you should be teaching the word of God in knowledge, his knowledge, not your own. You shouldn't be teaching on what you think you know. You shouldn't be limiting God and the spirit to what you think should be the outcome and how the outcome should occur. Don't do that. However, you can't go in and pray and say, "Well, Lord, if you want to do it this way, fine. If you want to do another way, fine. I'm just here to support you in prayer because you're not God. But that's a valuable work that you put in your life." Amen. I hope you get this message and you're blessed by this word as I am. Amen. Let's close in a word of prayer. Father God, we thank you for your word and we bless your word and we thank you for applying it to our lives and that we can live by it and that we go and build valuable works on you in the spirit, Father God, in your foundation, Jesus. Thank you for teaching us that and giving us the strength and the encouragement to stand strong in you, Lord, for you are great and this is about you in the name of Jesus. Amen. Amen. Amen. God bless you. See you in the next video. Bye-bye. Previous Next Home

WHEN YOU LIFT UP THE SON OF MAN Minister Lisa Kane August 12, 2025 Objective: Discover who the Son of Man is, and lift Him up through faith, knowing that Jesus is the Son of God who does nothing on His own. Sent by the Father, He speaks and acts only as the Father has taught Him, always doing what pleases Him. He is never alone, and we too can follow His example to please our Heavenly Father and walk in His constant presence. Synopsis: John 8:28 KJV Jesus declared that when the Son of Man is lifted up, people will recognize who He is and understand that He speaks only what the Father has taught Him. Who is the Son of Man? Jesus is the Son of Man—God’s Son, the eternal Word who became flesh. John 1:1-4 KJV From the very beginning, the Word was with God and was God. Through Him, all things were created, and i Him is life—the light of humanity. John 1:14 KJV The Word became flesh and dwelt among us, revealing the glory of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth. Genesis 1:1-3 KJV From creation’s first moment, God brought the universe into being, His Spirit moving over the waters, and light coming forth by His command. From the start, Jesus was present with God as Creator of all things. In time, He came into the world through a virgin named Mary, taking on human form. He lived without sin and willingly bore our sins on the cross. John 3:15-18 KJV Jesus gave His life so that all who believe in Him would not perish but have eternal life, for He came not to condemn the world, but to save it. By lifting Him up through faith, we choose to follow His example. Declaring what we learn from Him just like He does with His Father. This also means we’re never alone because Jesus, the Father, and the Holy Spirit are always with us. Inspired Teaching - Written and/or Transcribed from Video Above: When you lift up the Son of Man (written version of above video) John 8:28 KJV 28 Then said Jesus unto them, When ye have lifted up the Son of man, then shall ye know that I am he, and that I do nothing of myself; but as my Father hath taught me, I speak these things. Who is the Son of Man? Jesus is the Son of Man. He is the Son of God, Jesus Christ, the Word of God that became flesh. John 1:1-4 KJV In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 The same was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. 4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men. John 1:14 KJV 14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth. Genesis 1:1-3 KJV In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. 2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. 3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. As you can see, Jesus was there in the beginning as a spirit with God who created this world. Jesus entered this world through a virgin named Mary and was born as a man. He died on the cross for our sins as a man who never sinned. Our sin was placed on Him at the time of his death. Jesus, as the Son of Man offered Himself that the world through Him might be saved. As you can see, Jesus is the redeemer of humankind, and this is how He is known as the Son of Man because He, the Son of God was born of a virgin named Mary. Isaiah 7:14 KJV 14 Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel. Luke 1:34-35 KJV 34 Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man? 35 And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God. He was God in spirit in the beginning, who became a man, who died for our sins, and rose from the dead as first fruits with His new body as a man. John 3:15-18 KJV 15 That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life. 16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 1 Corinthians 15:20 KJV 20 But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept. Now that we have confirmed through scripture that Jesus is the Son of Man, let’s go back to our opening scripture: John 8:28 KJV 28 Then said Jesus unto them, When ye have lifted up the Son of man, then shall ye know that I am he, and that I do nothing of myself; but as my Father hath taught me, I speak these things. Do you see that Jesus uses the act of faith in this scripture? He said you need to lift Him up first, then you will know…know what? Know that He is the one the scriptures talk about. James 2:17-22 KJV 17 Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone. 18 Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works. 19 Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble. 20 But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead? 21 Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar? 22 Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect? You see, you need to lift Him up first, then you will know who Jesus is. How do you lift Him up? Call on Him. Romans 10:9 KJV 9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. Confessing with your mouth is calling out to Jesus. In essence, you lift Him up in your heart and acknowledge out loud that He is Lord Jesus, and you will know that He is Lord Jesus. John 8:28-29 KJV 28 Then said Jesus unto them, When ye have lifted up the Son of man, then shall ye know that I am he, and that I do nothing of myself; but as my Father hath taught me, I speak these things. 29 And he that sent me is with me: the Father hath not left me alone; for I do always those things that please him. Looking more into this scripture, you find out who Jesus is by realizing, because He said it, that He does nothing of Himself but speaks the things His father taught Him. Then He further states that He’s not alone and that He does the things that pleases His father. He sets an example for us to realize that we’re not alone, we have Jesus, the Father, and the Holy Spirit. And because of that, we do the things that pleases Him. This is what causes me to want to serve and love Him. To put Him first in my life. I took a leap of faith to confess Him and my life has never been better. Does this mean I don’t face issues? No. It means that when trouble comes to me, I’m at peace because I know my Father has those troubles in the palm of His hands. I know Jesus and because I know Him, I also know my father. Within the context of John 8, Jesus is speaking to the pharisees and the scribes letting them know who their faither is based on their actions. John 8:39-40 KJV 39 They answered and said unto him, Abraham is our father. Jesus saith unto them, If ye were Abraham's children, ye would do the works of Abraham. 40 But now ye seek to kill me, a man that hath told you the truth, which I have heard of God: this did not Abraham. Jesus makes a clear distinction that your actions determine who you believe. If you want to kill someone, your father is the devil. If you lift up Jesus, you know Him and His father and they become your family. Take the time today to confess and acknowledge Jesus is the Son of God. Once you do, you will know who He is and who His father is, and it will change you for the better. Home Previous Next

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