PRE, MID, POST TRIBULATION RAPTURE: DOES IT MATTER? Written Teaching Minister Lisa Kane May 17, 2025 Objective The purpose of this teaching is to explore the biblical question of the pre-, mid-, or post-tribulation rapture and determine whether the timing truly matters. More importantly, it emphasizes the urgency of salvation, encouraging believers to proclaim the gospel so that others may avoid the seven-year period of God’s wrath described in the book of Revelation. Synopsis Lisa Kane, speaking for House of Faith Ministries, opens with prayer and introduces the teaching titled “Pre-Mid-Post-Tribulation Rapture: Does It Matter?” (1 Thessalonians 5:9). She stresses that while debates about rapture timing continue, the central truth is that believers are not appointed to God’s wrath and should focus on spreading the message of salvation. The teaching examines prophetic passages in Revelation, highlighting the severity of the tribulation—such as demonic torment during the trumpet judgments—and contrasts this with God’s consistent pattern of delivering the righteous before judgment, as seen in the days of Noah and Lot. Drawing from Abraham’s intercession in Genesis and Paul’s “mystery” of transformation in 1 Corinthians 15, the lesson argues for a pre-tribulation rapture, underscoring God’s justice and mercy. Ultimately, the message insists that speculation over timing should not overshadow the greater call: to share the gospel urgently. Salvation is free now, and those who call on the name of Jesus Christ will be saved (Romans 10:9, 13). The teaching closes with a sinner’s prayer, inviting listeners to accept Christ today rather than risk facing the horrors of God’s wrath. Written and/or Transcribed Teaching from Video Hello and welcome to the House of Faith Ministries. I'm Lisa Kane and I'm recording this teaching on Saturday, May 17, 2025. Welcome. Let's open up in a word of prayer. Father God, we thank you for your word. We thank you for your revelation and we pray that the audience who is listening, their hearts and minds are receiving what the Holy Spirit is showing them. And I pray that they grab a hold of this teaching and don't let it go and show their family, show their friends, show their neighbors why we need to get saved quickly here and now because we don't want to live during that seven-year time period of your wrath when you pour it out on this earth. So, Father God, I thank you for teaching us and bringing this revelation here. In the name of Jesus, we pray. Amen. Oh, we got a very interesting teaching today, don't we? Let's go to our title. I'm calling this pre-mid posttribulation rapture. Does it matter? Let's go to opening scripture. 1 Thessalonians 5:9. For God has not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ. Okay, we're going to talk a little bit about end time prophecy. But if you notice the question, does it matter? I'm going to show you some interesting revelation here. First and foremost, we're not God. And it's foresight. So, and God can change anything and work anything because he he's the creator of it all. Now, he will keep his word though. He will keep his word. So, whatever he's prophesied, he will complete it. Here is the thing though. He's going to complete it whether you or you or I are right or wrong about end time prophecy. So, does it matter? We have to ask the question, why did God give us the book of Revelation? Oh, I know why. Because he's telling us believers, go into all the world and preach the good news and let them know they can get salvation for free so they don't have to go through that hell on earth. Because the book of Revelation is about a seven-year time period of God's wrath being poured on on the earth. And as you just saw in the scripture, believers are not appointed to that time frame. I'm going to show you, I will answer the question whether the rapture happens before that time period or during that time period or at the end of that time period. I will answer that question. But right now, the most important aspect of this teaching is that you go into all the world and tell them you don't want to live during that time frame time time frame. Get saved now while the saving is free and good and easy. And I will do I will talk about salvation, how to get saved at the end of this teaching. So let's go back to this first scripture so we can understand what's going on here. For Godath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ. So right now, future prophecy is there. He's showing us how bad it's going to be. And it's going to be bad. I'm going to take a couple snippets here from Revelation. We're going to talk about how bad it gets because I want you to see this so that you and I who believe that Jesus Christ is the son of God can go into the world out there and let them know you don't want to go through that. You do not want to go through that. Now's the time to get saved. Get it while it's free, while it's easy. We don't know how you're going to get saved or what you even have to do to be saved. A lot of theologians says you have to be beheaded. Well, wait a minute. Um, what if they somebody decides to kill you just by shooting you in the head? Do you get saved still? If See, we cannot. It's foresight. We're not God. We truly don't know. Even though the Bible is very specific about that time frame and gives us a lot of information which I'm about to show you, at the same time we do not know how people will get saved and salvation will be different. Remember he John went to write down what the seven thunders had spoke and God said don't write that down. And I have a feeling that has to do with how to get saved. And the reason God didn't reveal that to us is so that you're not sitting here going, "Well, I'll just wait for that time frame." You don't want to live during that time frame. So, let's get into this. So, this is kind of about end time prophecy, but at the same time, it's more importantly that we get people saved now while the saving is free. So, here in Revelation 9 1-6, again, I'm just showing you a snippet. The fifth angel sounded. So there are six seals and then there are seven or excuse me seven seals and seven trumpets and they're kind of like back to back. And in the midst of the seven trumpets the last three trumpets which would be the fifth, sixth and seventh which is one of them are three woes. So this is going to be woe number one that we're reading. So this is how bad things are going to be. So this by the way and see I'm going to answer the question whether there the rapture happens before middle or after this time period and I'm going to tell you right now it happens before I will show you a different approach to how to look at this. This is revelation from God. This is the Holy Spirit. You're here listening to this for a particular reason. So stay stay with us and see. But I want to show you how bad this time frame gets. What you're about to see is the first or a fivemonth time period, which is at the beginning of this seven-year time period, and it's hell on earth. Watch this. So, and the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star fall from heaven unto the earth, and to him was given the key of the bottomless pit. And he opened the bottomless pit, and there arose a smoke out of the pit, as the smoke of a great furnace, and the sun and the air were darkened by reason of the smoke of the pit. And there came out of the smoke locust upon the earth. And unto them was given power, privilege as the scorpions uh the word scorpion is piercing. So scorpions of the earth have power. And it was commanded to them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree, but only those men which have not the seal of protection of God on their foreheads. And to them it was given that they should not kill them, but that they should be tormented five months. And their torment was as the torment of a scorpion when he striketh a man. And in those days shall men seek death and shall not find it and shall desire to die and death shall flee or run away from them. Okay. So first of all let's talk about the seal of the Lord in Revelation 7. 12,000 of 12 tribes of Israel are sealed with God's seal. Male Jews that have not uh been touched by a woman, virgins. They're all virgins. So, these 144,000 are sealed. So after that is when a whole bunch of people show up in heaven and then all of a sudden you have this where a star is fallen and this uh demon which is in charge of the pit. He opens up the gates and he releases these locust things. They're they're like there's more description in there. I didn't bring all that description in here. It's not good reading. If you want to know more, go read it. Uh but basically these things are released on the earth and they can sting anyone who hasn't got the seal of God on them which means it's anybody who's alive at that time. Now the two witnesses can draw any fire down from heaven and plagues and all that kind of stuff. So my guess is that anything tries to come after them, they're just going to kill it until their time is to die, which is in the middle of the seven-year time period. Again, you can go read all this. you can pick it up and figure it out. So you have to ask yourself the question which I asked earlier why was the book of revelation written because see we know that prophecies throughout scriptures we know that all the prophecies about Jesus first coming was fulfilled. Now prophecy here in this second uh for Jesus second return is going to be fulfilled as well. So Jesus is coming back a second time. Why give us this if it just needs salvation? One, I believe that the Lord is showing us what the people are going to go through during that time period. One, they cannot die. Did you see that? Death flees from them. Think about that for just a moment here. They they realize and a lot of people are going to realize that they missed the boat. these this is a group of people that have already rejected that Jesus Christ is the son of God. So you've got your 144,000 sales, you've got your two witnesses, and then you've got the unbelievers here. By the way, go read Revelation. You will not find any believers walking in there through there. Where is the church? I'm going to tell you right now, when the two witnesses show up and they're down there in Jerusalem calling fire down from heaven, it's going to be on the news. Guess where Lisa will be? If Lisa was here during that time, and for that matter, any other believer that truly puts God first in their life, they're going to be right there with those two witnesses. But the Bible doesn't tell us that. This is fascinating. Where are the believers? It's just like a sore thumb that sticks out. Now, again, I told I'm going to answer the question whe the rapture happens before, which I believe it does, and I'm going to show you another way of how scripture from the Old Testament tells us it's going to be. So, there's going to be some neat revelation here, and I want you to pick up on that. But at the same time, we need to know what's going to happen. So, these unbelievers are going to be running around and facing what I'm just calling it, demonlike creatures that are going to sting them. And that sting is going to hurt, but it won't kill them. But it's going to hurt and they're going to be in pain. I'm going tell you right now, I had hurt my knee a few weeks ago, and it's rough. I tore my meniscus and I have to walk on it still. It hurts. I don't like the pain. I can tell you right now, nobody is going to like that pain. And if you're a believer and you're hearing this for the first time and you were not aware of what's and again, this is just a snippet of the suffering that people are going to go through. You can go read more if you want. You should have a tug pulled on your heart that tells you, "I better tell my family. I better tell my friends because you want to get saved now. You don't want to miss the boat and you don't want to be in you don't want to be living during that time frame. And for anybody that's teaching that Christians will be there during this time period, let me let you in on a little secret. They don't know the love of God. And I'm going to show you how God had answered this question from the Old Testament. So let's go let's go look at the Old Testament because I want you to see and and I you know and before I go there one more point I want to make here. If you think and you've gone in the other direction like how could God just torture people like that? Let me let you in on something here. These are people who rejected God. God is trying to get their attention. One, they're still alive. Which means if they come to be a believer, they still have a chance to get saved. This is the love of God being poured out on them. Even though it's wrath, it's letting them have a chance to get back with God. Repent. Now, if you read it carefully, you will find out they continue to reject God even after all of that. But God is trying to get their attention. He's saying, "Listen, I'm in control. You need to believe in me so you can get saved." And then some people are going to think, "Well, that's just not right. That that's the only choice here. Hey, you know what? God is the one who created this world. He can do and and save us however way he wants because salvation is of the Lord." And I will tell you this much. Even though we don't know how people will get saved during the seven-year time period, I know that God is still working on people during that time, and there will be some who will be saved. Whether that is through beheading, some theologians think it's through beheading. What happens if you're shot point blank? Can you still get saved if you're calling on Jesus and rejecting the mark of the beast and rejecting um everything else? Yeah, you can still be saved that way, too. So, you can't just limit because they they tell you you have to be beheaded to be saved. That's what a lot of theologians teach about this time frame. Beheading is spoken of. I just don't think it's the only way. So, let's let's not limit God and what he is capable of doing. He can do anything he wants, but he keeps to his word. If he prophesied it, it's going to happen. So now the question is where do you want to spend eternity? Do you really want to go through all of this because you think that God is being a big bad God? No. You need to repent here and now. He created you and he didn't have to. But that's how much he loves you. And Jesus went to the cross whether you accept him or not. Jesus died on the cross for our salvation. This is why today Today scripture talks about today that we should teachers, evangelists, pastors, preachers, any one of us need to be going into the world and letting the world know, get saved now. It's so easy. Call upon the name of the Lord Jesus and be saved. He is the son of God and he sacrificed himself on the cross so that we could be saved. Not everybody's going to be saved, but we're hoping for the best. So, we want to get as many as we can now because in this generation, you're seeing prophecy unfold. Go to Matthew 24 and just start reading right off the top about great earthquakes, pestilences, COVID. uh all of these things are unfolding in our in our eyes. We're seeing it and that's just the beginning of the birth panges of this season that we're entering. So, we have entered this season and it is about to burst. So, get ready, get saved, and save as many as you can. Put salvation as a priority in your mind. If you're getting gas, if you're at the grocery store, hey, do you know about Jesus? I just want you to know you can get saved now. Let's just get as many as we can before they for the first five months they can't even kill themselves, which they think is a merciful thing, but God is trying to get them to be saved so that he can bring as many home as possible. And I bet you there's going to be quite a few that get saved during that time period. So now what I want to do is talk about the debate of the premid or posttribulation rapture. Let's look at the Old Testament and see what Abraham and God had to say about it. This is how this is powerful. This is interesting. We're in Genesis 18 verses 20- 26. And the Lord said, "Because the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great, because their sin is very grievous, I will go down now and see whether they have done altogether according to the cry of it or the shriek of it which is come unto me, and if not, I will know." And the men turned their faces from dens and went towards Sodom, but Abraham stood yet before the Lord. Okay, so Luke and Matthew, Matthew 24 says it'd be like the days of Noah. I think it's Luke 21 or I think it's Luke 21 that tells you if it's not you can go look it up. Luke tells us it'll be like the days of Lot. So in order to understand end time prophecy Jesus is telling us to go to the past to understand it. So here's one snippet of you know remember end time prophecy is a big big picture but I want to show you this conversation that Abraham had with God about going to Lot. Now, I'm going to also show you the days of Noah. But right now, let's look at the days of Lot. So, Lot was they were sinning greatly against God. So much so that God is going to pay them a visit to see if it is really true that what's going on. And Abraham kind of knows this. So, Abraham's like, "Wait a second, God, before you go." And this is what he says to God in verse 23. And Abraham drew ne near and said, "Wilt thou also destroy the righteous with the wicked?" I want to pause there. How many people think the rapture is going to happen in the middle of God's wrath or at the end of God's wrath? So, do you think that God pouring out his wrath on the earth where and by the way, the prophecy clearly says that those scorpions will touch anyone except for those that have the seal of God. And it doesn't talk about sealing the church. Doesn't talk about sealing the believers. It talks about sealing the Israelites, 144,000 Jews. Which means those scorpions are going to be loose all over the earth going after anybody alive during that time that doesn't have God's seal. you. So in essence that would if the righteous and the wicked would have to be tormented at the same time according to scripture and Abraham here many thousands years earlier is saying wait a minute God what about the righteous he's he sees what I think a lot of theologians are seeing where you're going to do that what about us who love you. And some are coming to a conclusion. I don't know how they're coming to this conclusion. I mean, there's scripture in there that if you if you're not putting it in the right context can look misleading where it tells you, "Oh, these you're all going to be suffering the same." No, no, no, no, no. Now, remember, if you miss the boat and you're in there during that time and you get saved while you're in that time frame, that's a different story. So, you might become righteous in the middle. And actually, I don't know because maybe you have to die to become righteous. See, we don't know enough about that time frame because we live in a time of grace and our hearts are being biased when we read scripture. We're saying, "Oh, you can be filled with grace during that time." What if you can't? God's wrath is being poured out and and water and oil don't mix. Wrath and grace don't mix. So Abraham is bringing up the conversation with God. Let's go back. So Abraham asks a very interesting question here in verse 24. He says, "Per adventure there be 50 righteous within the city. Wilt thou also destroy and not spare the place for the 50 righteous that are therein?" So he's asking God point blank, tell me what if you find 50 righteous people, what then? So God answers him. And in fact, Abraham's still talking in verse 25 where he says, "That be far from thee to do after this manner to slay the righteous with the wicked, and that the righteous shall be as the wicked." That be far from the you. He's saying that's far from you. You're not that. See, he understands the love of God. He understands who his God is. And his God says he won't suffer his wrath. See, you and I who believe in God and know his love and accept his love will know that God's not going to pour his wrath on us. Hallelujah. Such good news. And look at this. That be far from me. He says, "Shall not the judge of all the earth do right?" See, God is a righteous judge. And I've taught on this before. He is currently building his case so that when he gets to judgment day, he has enough evidence against the devil to make the devil suffer for eternity. That's how God works. That's what he's doing. But for those that choose God and believe in him, he loves us. Watch his answer. Now, this is God answering Abraham. And the Lord said, "If I find in Sodom 50 righteous within the city, then I will spare or lift all the place for their sake." He won't destroy the city if there are 50 righteous people. Now, we know that he did destroy the city because this conversation occurs before the destruction, which means there weren't 50. In fact, the conversation continues on verse 32. And he said, "Oh, let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak yet, but this one." This is Abraham talking. He says, "Perventure 10 shall be found there." And he said, "I will not destroy it for 10 sake." And the Lord went his way as soon as he had left communing with Abraham. And Abraham returned his place. So I skipped some scriptures in there because of time. So Abraham asked, "What if there's 50, 45, 30, 20?" And then he got all the way to 10. What if there's 10 righteous? Did you see that? I will not destroy it for 10's sake. So using that, in fact, let's go look at Noah's day. I I want you to see Noah's day at the same time. Something happens here that's very interesting. Uh in um Oh, and let's finish up here. Sodom. He says, "And Abraham got up early in the morning to the place where he stood before her, and he looked and toward looked toward Sodom and Gomorrah and toward all the land of the plain, and beheld, and lo, the smoke of the country went up as the smoke of the furnace. The city was destroyed." Abraham saw it. And I wanted to bring that scripture in there because I want those that are looking and watching this to know what the scriptures tell us. Yes, the cities were destroyed because of their evil. And the only three that survived was Lot and his two daughters, which we can see this in Genesis um 19 29 and 30. And it came to pass when God destroyed the cities of the plain that God remembered Abra Abraham and sent Lot out of the midst of the overthrow when he overthrew the cities in which Lot dwelt. And Lot went up out of Zor and dwelt in the mountain and his two daughters with him. For he feared to dwell Zor and he dwelt in the cave, he and his two daughters. So when Lot came out of the city, he w Let's pause. I I want to get this right. I so want to get this right. God knew there weren't 10 righteous people. So he had to destroy the city because he has a threshold. You see the 10, it's actually below 10. So he takes what righteous there was out of Sodom and Gomorrah and the only three who survived was Lot and his two daughters. Now his wife did come out with him. Now I'm sure you've heard the story. She turned around longing for it and she turned into a pillar of salt died. That's what happened in Lot's day. And Jesus says it'll be like that. What happened in Noah's day? Because Noah's flood took place. Something else happened here. I want you to see this. And this is Genesis 6:5. And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth. That every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. God didn't destroy the earth because of the giants. And I wanted to clarify that popular belief. He did it because there was every man was thinking wickedness. uh continually uh I do know uh Methuselah it says here in uh Genesis 5:27 and all the days of Methusela were 960 nine years and he died and Methusela he it's not in the scripture in that second bullet point but he died the same year Noah turned 600 which is the same year of the flood so a lot of preachers preach out there that once Methuselah died if you talk about his name here comes destruction um and here comes you know God's going to destroy the earth at that time. So they they teach that that's when once he died it doesn't say that he was a righteous man just says that once he died. So his name meant that destruction comes after his death. So then after he died Noah was 600 years old when the flood of waters was upon the earth. This is Genesis 7 6 and 7. And Noah went in and his sons and his wife and his son's wives with him into the ark because of the waters of the flood. Now that's eight people. So you've got eight people who came again. God took eight people out of the wickedness so he could destroy the wicked and he saved the eight people because there wasn't enough people to bring the city around from destruction. there was not 10 righteous. So he eight survived there, three survived out of Sodom and Gomorrah. So God has a type here. And I want you to see Paul saw this, you know, after Paul uh after Jesus intervened in his life on the road to Damascus and and his name he started calling himself Paul and he was no longer Saul. He went into the wilderness for three years and remember Paul or Saul was a Pharisee of the Pharisees. He knew the scriptures. But during that three-year time period where he waved back in to see it now through Jesus' eyes, he saw a mystery. And look what he says in 1 Corinthians 15:51 and 52. Behold, I show you a mystery. We shall not all sleep or be dead, but we shall all be changed in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump. For the trumpet shall sound and the dead shall be raised incorruptible and we shall be changed or made different. So God has a type. If he is going to destroy something like he did Sodom and Gomorrah, he brings out what righteous is left. If he's going to destroy the earth, he brought out what righteous with was left. If he's going to pour out his wrath, he has to remove the righteous first. That's what Paul saw. That's why he says, "Listen, I'm telling you a mystery. We're not all going to be dead. We're not all going to die the same way." You want to know why? I'll tell you why. Because the spirit of salvation is active and moving and saving people. You need to grasp the spirit of salvation. You need to start one praying in the secret place with the Lord. Praying over your loved ones, your family, your friends, co-workers, whomever you want to be saved. And by the way, you ought to be forgiving them as well. And if you're forgiving them, God is obligated to forgive them, which means they will get saved because the spirit of salvation through the Holy Spirit, they're working in tandem to come and save them. And so people are getting saved day after day. This is awesome. Great. Which means there's going to be a lot of people on the earth when God decides to pour out his wrath. When he's good and ready for the day of the Lord to arrive at his time, when he wants to come in and do that, he has to remove the righteous because he spoke the word to Abraham already where the righteous and the wicked will not be judged together on the earth because that is not who God is. Abraham declared it. It is prophesied. We will be removed from the earth. And then God will pour out his wrath. And in that time frame, somehow someway, people are going to get saved. And when they do, they're going to be beheaded. They're going to be killed for their belief. Whatever way, however way it happens, they're going to get saved through death. Most likely. Most likely through death. We don't know the details of that. So now though is the time to get saved. Now is the time to tell people get saved while it's free. And by the way, salvation is free. Look at what Romans 10:9 says that if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. And then verse 13, whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. you all you have to do is say Lord Jesus and talk to him like he's a real person because when you do that it's like you're believing that he he was raised from the dead which is what our heart needs to believe it is not complicated it is not difficult it is that you believe that Jesus Christ is the son of God as the moment you start calling on him the moment you say I'm going to repent this is you getting saved and You will be pulled out when that time frame comes up unless the Lord should tar. And I just don't think he's going to. He's coming. He's coming quickly and he's coming in this generation now. Whether that's two years, 10 years, another 50 years. I could possibly live another 50 years. Uh the way I am. Uh I don't think so. But that my generation I think it's my generation because it was at the generation of when Jerusalem became the capital of Israel and that was in 1967. I was born in 1969 right in that time frame and very close to that generation. So yes. So let's pray the sinner's prayer together because I want you to get saved. Amen. Amen. You've been listening to this this entire time. Get a Bible. Go check it out. And if you can't get a Bible, you have internet access because you're watching this. Go to www.biblegateway.com . Look up the book of Revelation and start a relationship with God and read the book of John, the Gospel of John. It's free. You can read it online. Amen. Let's uh repeat after me. Dear Jesus, I ask you to forgive me. Come into my heart and be my Lord and Savior. I don't want to live in that time period when you pour out your wrath in the name of Jesus. Thank you for saving me. Amen. Amen. Amen. God bless you and I will see you in the next message. Byebye. Home Watch the Video Teaching

WHO PAID THE WAGES Written Teaching Minister Lisa Kane September 3, 2023 Objective The objective of this message is to help believers understand the profound truth of Romans 6:23: that the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ. The teaching emphasizes that every person inherits sin and owes a debt they cannot pay, yet Jesus Christ, the Word made flesh, willingly paid that debt in full. Through this message, listeners are called to recognize Jesus not only as Savior but also as Creator and Redeemer, who offers true freedom and eternal life to all who believe. Synopsis In this message, Who Paid the Wages?, Lisa Kane of House of Faith Ministries explores the meaning of Romans 6:23, revealing the depth of God’s love and the sacrifice of Jesus Christ. From Adam and Eve’s fall into sin to the present day, humanity has carried a debt of death that only Christ could pay. Jesus, who was with God in the beginning as the living Word, entered His creation through the virgin birth, lived without sin, and gave His life on the cross as the perfect sacrifice. The teaching highlights prophecies from Isaiah and the fulfillment through John the Baptist’s ministry, pointing to Jesus as the long-awaited Messiah. Scriptures such as 1 John 3 and Isaiah 40 affirm that abiding in Christ brings transformation, freedom from sin, and even the slowing of spiritual “aging” as believers walk in His presence. Kane stresses that knowing who Jesus truly is—not just as a prophet but as Creator and Redeemer—brings a deeper, life-changing relationship with Him. The message concludes with encouragement from Hebrews and Corinthians, declaring victory over death through Christ. Believers are reminded that in Christ there is no more fear, no debt, and no sting of death—only freedom, eternal life, and the joy of a daily relationship with the One who paid the wages of sin once and for all. Written and/or Transcribed Teaching from Video Hello and welcome to the House of Faith Ministries. I'm Lisa Kane. I'm recording this on Sunday, September 3rd, 2023. Welcome. This message is called Who Paid the Wages? Let's open up in a word of prayer. Father God, we thank you for your word. We thank you for your presence. We thank you for your awesomeness, man. Thank you, Jesus, for following your your father, for being obedient to your father's will, for laying down your life for us. And then thank you God for giving him his father his life back. Thank you father for giving him his life back. And Lord I ask for your words to speak through me as this is what my fifth or sixth time already starting this message. Thank you father god for being with me and letting your anointing come through here and thank you for your favor and blessings. I pray for the person that's watching this video, Father God. And I pray that their ears are open, their eyes are open, they see and hear. And I play pray that they their hearts are open and softened and that they receive. And I pray that their minds are open to believe and to get to know you a little bit more of who you are because man, you are magnificent, holy, and awesome. Thank you, Lord. In the name of Jesus. Amen. Amen. Amen. Let's go to our opening scriptures here. Romans 6:23. For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. I use this scripture a lot when I'm teaching. And usually, especially about the wages of sin is death. You know, there's a mystery there. You know, the more time you spend with God, the less you're aging. And I'm going to show you all the scriptures and how this all connects together. But I use this. But what I want to talk about today is showing you the one who paid those sins. See, go back to the days of Adam. And when he and his wife Eve sinned, they were deceived. They fell. Ever since then, every person born is born automatically into sin where we already owe a debt. And yes, that's infants. Now God has children taken care of. There is an age of an accountability as between God and that child. So no worries. God has the children covered and protected. But once we get to that stage of accountability, we do face um the the sin that is in our lives. We have sinned. Everyone's sin. You know, we've all fallen short of the glory of God. And as a result, we owe a debt that we cannot pay. But Jesus obeyed his father and said he would do it. In fact, it's clearly identified in this opening scripture. It says, "But the gift of God is eternal life in who? Christ Jesus our Lord." So he's the one who paid the wages. Now in order to understand that, you know, everybody hears about Jesus. Oh yeah, Jesus has that nice good prophet. That doesn't mean everybody believes in him. Nor do they really understand the magnificent the holiness and who he is cuz he's been there. You know, if you take a look at everything around you, your desk, your walls, whatever it is that you have around you, it's not going to be there forever. But the word of God has been there from the beginning and it will last forever because Jesus is the one who is the spoken word. He said let there be light and there was light. God called it good. If you go back to Genesis, go back to John 1 verse one. In the beginning was the word and the word was with God. So Jesus the word was with God in the beginning. So, now that you've got an understanding of this, we're going to delve into who is this magnificent being because this is where things get a little interesting. And I want you to see something here about the wages of sin. It has to do with sin. You're in sin. You owe a debt. But there is a transformation that takes a place takes the place in a believer who wants to change. There are many many people who just go to church and they're satisfied with that. But let's get to know who this Jesus is. Because once I think once you understand the magnitude of him and his abilities, it's going to make some major changes in your life. 1 John 3 5 and 6. And you know that he was manifested to take away our sins, and in him there is no sin. Whoever abides in him does not sin. And whoever sins has neither seen him nor known him. Are you a believer who still goes out and sins? Do you really know who Jesus is? Cuz my guess is you don't because you're still sinning. Look at what it says here. You know that he was manifested to take away our sins and in him there is no sin. The wages of sin is death. So when you abide in Jesus, I've been teaching on this for now a handful of years. When you spend your time with Jesus, you're not sinning because you can't sin in front of Jesus. And because you're not sinning, you're no longer aging. I want you to get this. When Adam was created, he was created perfect. So was Eve. They were made perfect the way God made them. They were not aging. There is no age for them. They were fully mature adults created. What came first, the chicken or the egg? Well, the chicken had to because when you have an infant or um the hatching of an egg, the little hatchling, I'm going to tell you right now, they don't know what to do. Now, there are some creatures here on our planet that know instinctively what to do from birth, but not all are that way. Humans are not that way. We have to take care of our babies. So there had to be a creator who came first and that magnificence of him is there and he's the one who did not have aging going on initially. It was the perfect euphoria uh uh the perfect atmosphere for Adam and Eve. But then they went and disobeyed God and they sinned. And ever since then we've all fallen short of the glory of God. And the only way to get it back is to have this one person, the gift of life, Jesus Christ, pay the wages of that sin. So, how did that happen? And who is this? And how can you do it? I mean, you think about it like this. If Jesus is the one that was there in the beginning and he said, "Let there be light." And we know that he is because in the beginning was the word, God. Jesus, the word Jesus, and he was with God in the beginning. So when you put those two together, all of a sudden now you come into this powerful being created this whole earth and then he was born by a virgin that he not only came in born that way, he entered his creation. Have you ever made um a tent out of boxes, cardboard boxes or even sheets and blankets? And what happens is they come tumbling down. They will fall if you try to enter them. Sometimes you can secure them pretty good and get in there and hold it up for a while. But there's times you can't enter what you created without destroying it. Yet Jesus entered it. Not only did he enter it, he kept himself from sin. So he separated himself so his blood, that perfect blood, could wash away the sins of the world. And for anyone who wants to believe can accept that pardon. Just straight up accept it. You don't have to do anything else if you don't want to. for God. That's between you and God. Now, I will tell you this much. If you understand who Jesus is and you actually finally let him in and let him transform you, something happens. You you go through a transformation and you begin to find out who Jesus is. You get on this journey. It's an awesome journey. So, let's go back to Isaiah. We're going to be here in Isaiah 43-5. The voice of one crying in the wilderness. Prepare 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 brought low. The crooked places shall be made straight and the rough places smooth and the glory of the Lord shall be revealed and all flesh shall see it together. For the mouth of the Lord has spoken. Okay, so here's a sign. So Isaiah is prophesying that there's going to be this guy crying in the wilderness. He's going to make the path straight. He's preparing a path. Well, who is this? And was this prophecy fulfilled? Well, it was in all three gospels. Matthew 3:3, Mark 1:3, and Luke 3:4. Look at who this is. This is John the Baptist. For this is he who was spoken of by the prophet Isaiah. Who did we just read? Isaiah 40. Saying the voice of one crying in the wilderness, prepare the way of the Lord. This is not the Lord. He's preparing the way of the Lord. Look at this. He says, "Make his path straight." The voice of one crying in the wilderness, prepare the way of the Lord, make his path straight. And then verse four in Luke 3, as it is written in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet, saying, the voice of one crying in the wilderness, prepare the way of the Lord, make his path straight. So, here comes the God Almighty, son of God. He created the earth. And John the Baptist said, "I'm preparing a way in the wilderness here. I'm making his path straight. Here he comes. So, who is this guy? Because Isaiah, what I I don't even know how many years before. It's thousands maybe, maybe 1500, give or take. I don't know how many years, but he prophesied that John the Baptist would say these things. And guess what? John the Baptist said it and it was recorded in the Gospels. So now you're seeing, okay, well, who was he making the path straight for? And when you realize it had to do with Jesus, oh, the glory of the Lord shall be revealed. So he's telling the nation of Israel, hey, here comes the one crying in the wilderness to let you know this guy's coming. This is the son of God. Remember also Daniel told him when he would be crucified gave the exact year when he would be crucified. The wise men, it's believed Daniel is the one who established the wise men. They knew in the stars to look for the Messiah when he would be born. Guess what? They found him as a toddler. They knew. They knew. And all these signs were being fulfilled right in front of the Pharisees and the Sadducees and they still rejected him. Are you one to reject the son of God, God Almighty? The one who said, "Let there be light and there was light." He paid the wages for your sin. You're a created being. You need to humble yourself before the Lord and realize, "Hey, I was created by him, and I trust in him." Let's go continue on to verse 10 in Isaiah 40. So behold the Lord God shall come with a strong hand and his arm shall rule for him. I I want you to see something very interesting here. Look at this. Okay. So he says will come with a strong hand and his arm shall rule for him. He sacrificed himself on the cross. Do you know how much strength it took for him to be able to get up on that cross knowing full well he can call legions of angels to take him off and yet he still did it. Talk about some self-control. And his arm shall rule for him. Look at this. Behold, his reward is with him. You see the two capital H's there? Jesus reward is with God his father. or God the father's reward is with his son Jesus. It can go both ways. Oh, that's interesting. And his work before him he will and in fact it's since we know that Jesus is the one who said let there be light and there was light. This is the work of Jesus blessed by the father. He will feed his flock like a shepherd. This is Jesus because now we're identified as the sheep and he's the shepherd. He will gather the lambs with his arm and carry them in his bosom and gently lead those who are with young. Who has measured the waters in the hollow of his hand, measured heaven with a span, and calculated the dust of the earth in a measure. Weighed the mountains and scales and the hills in a balance. Whoa, wait a minute. He did what? because we know he created it. And when you think and you know, oh, he created it. All right, that's wonderful. But then you go back out and you look at look outside. Go look at the ocean. Look at what he says here. He me he who has measured the waters in the hollow of his hand. If you see how many oceans there are in the world, how many lakes, you can't see the other side. And that measurement was in the hollow of his hand. This goes back to Genesis chapter 1 again that I taught on. You can go read it u uh on my teaching called creation versus evolution and many other teachings I alluded to in this. But that first chapter of Genesis chapter 1, it's a planning phase. He planned everything. He designed it and then he also had to get and assemble all of the pieces he needed to make the universe. He took water in the palm of his hand, the hollow of his hand. He put it in a bowl. Got some. Look at this. He measured heaven with a span. He had a span there. He says, "Okay, it could be this little or he could have done it like this, but he's outside of the universe." So, he got to measure it with a span. How big is God? How big is Jesus, the son of God, and calculated the dust of the earth in a measure? I don't know about you, but if you're someone like me who does not like dusting, you find as you dust, you dust and you dust and you dust and dust keeps coming back. Where does this dust come from? I mean that I mean we know where it comes from. But here God has the perfect amount of dust in a measure and he put it there on his measuring cup on his workbench. possibly had it in the hollow of his hand. Put it in there. How big, how mighty is this creator? And look at that. Weigh the mountains and scales and the hills in a balance. He had to keep everything perfectly balanced and he did it. Did you know, you know, scientists are finally coming to the realization that there can't be that many planets in the in the solar system like they thought in the universe altogether because they're realizing how perfect everything needed to be. You and I are complex individuals. There is absolutely no way that we could have come from an evolution process because we're complete today. We are complete now. any part of that, any partiality of that fails. Yet here we are complete. Yes, with sin, but with one who paid the wages of our sin. And now we're indebted to him, and we get to come to him. And by the way, being indebted to Jesus is freedom. I'm going to get to that. You're going to love this. So, I'm telling you here, this magnificent being, this God, we call him Yah Jehovah. We call him the son of God. Jesus the Messiah is the one who paid these wages in this earth that he created. Everything is about what he's done and what he's doing for you. And yet he gave you free will to choose. Go watch um Jonathan Khan's latest uh uh teachings uh Josiah Manifesto, the uncensored version, the the DVDs. He's got a a set of eight DVDs there. The timing of everything that he brings to light is absolutely incredible. You know, and and when you're running late and you think you're not in God's time, I'm going to tell you right now, you are in perfect in God's perfect timing the whole time. This is how magnificent this being is. He is the son of God. And and yes, he could have destroy He can still destroy us all if he wants to. But you know what? He said he wasn't going to do it. And he keeps his word. He's trustworthy. Who is this guy? Who I mean, that is amazing in and of itself. There's more. Let's continue on. Isaiah 40. Uh now we're in verse 13. Who has directed the spirit of the Lord or as his counselor has taught him. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Wait a minute. Who has directed the spirit of the Lord? Or as his counselor has taught him, God the counselor teaches Jesus and teaches him what? How to direct the spirit of the Lord. God the father and the son of God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit work as one. They are three different individuals, but they do work as one because God the father has a plan and the other two support that plan totally. But notice the chain of command here which is taught throughout the Bible. God the father, God the son, God the holy spirit. And all of them, God the holy spirit and the son of God point to God the father. And look at Jesus says he's my counselor. God says I counseledled him. I taught him. Look at this verse 14. with whom did he take counsel and who instructed him and taught him in the path of justice? Who taught him knowledge and showed him the way of understanding? Jesus had to be taught not only you know and and and however that is in the spiritual we don't know that. All I know is that Jesus was there and he said let there be light in there and it was good. There was light and it was good. What I do know is when he was born a man to a virgin, he came out, he still had to be taught and he was taught and never entered sin. He was taught and never entered sin. He had to and he also acknowledged who he taught who taught him, but he never entered sin. But he still had to be taught. Which means you and I could be taught by God. We have sinned. But the moment you spend time in the presence of God, you're abiding in him, there's no sin in Jesus. And sin cannot stand to be in the same room with Jesus. And if you're not sinning, guess what? Adam didn't sin initially. He wasn't aging. There's no aging there. If you go look at the scriptures, give you some homework here. Go read those scriptures. Notice he doesn't mention anything with age. It's all about him naming the animals. I don't know how long that took. Yes, it's kind. So, it's not every animal on the planet, but it is all the kinds. So, a male dog and a female dog. It didn't matter what type it was. It was just a male and a female. But he named them all. Did it take him days? Did it take him weeks? Did he sleep somewhere? Did he have to sleep? He was something different before he sinned. We only know the after what happened with sin. But I do know that if sin isn't in the presence of the Lord and I'm abiding in the presence of the Lord, I slow down aging. I do not age anymore because in that moment, I'm abiding in perfection. That perfection begins here and now. And I'm gonna tell you right now, it's changed me to a point where wow, you know, I now he he weigh he put the mountains in a scale. Do you know how big these mountains are? I can't climb a mountain, especially not at my age, but they're huge. And yet, he put them right there in a scale. But then what did Jesus say? This is even more magnificent. This is how humble Jesus is. Look at this. John 5:30 and John 8:28. 5:31st. I can of myself do nothing. Wait, what? You just put the mountains in a scale. You measured the heavens with a span. I don't even know if it's a three yard stick or how you measured it with a span, but you measured it with a span. You held the oceans in the palm of your hand, in the hollow of your hand. And yet I can do I can't of myself do nothing. Who is this son of God? This man who paid our wages. Look, he says, "As I hear, I judge and my judgment is righteous because I do not seek my own will but the will of the father who sent me." He's following his father. Who do you follow? You following the latest band, the latest music, the latest latest singer, you the latest fashion trends, the latest sin. Oh, but look in verse 28 of 8:28. Then Jesus said to them, when you lift up the son of man, did you catch that? When you lift up the son of man, then you will know that I am he and that I do nothing of myself, but as my father taught me, I speak these things. Look at the action there for you. homework. He says, "When you lift up the Son of Man." Do you do it on Sundays? Do you do it all the time? Do you do it when you're facing a crisis? Or can you do it? Can you just run up to God one day? You don't have a crisis, just say, "I just want to thank you. I just want to love you." When your children come up and do that to you, what do you think you you have in this your heart this joy and nothing can imitate that joy? When your family member just comes up and says to you, I love you. And you sit there going, "Wow." And imagine what God feels when you suddenly just say, "God, I love you." and this and this being, you know, I have to wonder if that is what he was thinking and feeling at the time when he decided to keep saving the earth in spite of the sin that we're living in. You have to wonder about that. Look at 51:13 Isaiah. And you forget the Lord your m your maker and you forget the Lord your maker. You know, renewing your mind and being in the Lord can be a forgetful process. putting him first in all that you do. Let me look at this. Who stretched out the heavens? You know, uh it is believed that before the flood they can see the whole written story of what Jesus does to redeem man is written in the stars. Well, he stretched that out. Who is this being that loves little old me that can do that? And he paid the wages of the sin that I committed. Incredible. And laid the foundations of the earth. He's the one who put it all together. And yet he says, "I love you for God so loved the world." John 3:16. Look at this. You have feared continually every day because of the fury of the oppressor. Oh, when you hear this part when he has prepared to destroy and where is the fury of the oppressor. Oh, got to get this. I want you to see this again. You have fear continually every day. Do you know when you get in your car and you drive, there's a risk of being in an accident and being killed. You get in your shower, by the way, is a risk. You can slip and fall. Get in your kitchen, it's a risk something blows up. There's always risks. Always. And you fear continually. There are people who fear continually. But look what God says about that. And it's because of the fury of the oppressor. Who's oppressing you? You see, you know you live in sin. You know that one day you're going to die. You know that it's coming because Hebrews 9:27 clearly tells us every man is appointed to die once. We're going to look at that scripture in a moment. When you see this, you know this. You're thinking, "Oh man, I better be careful. God, look at this. You don't have to be careful. It's the f fury of the oppressor. And look at this. He when he has prepared to destroy, he's going to destroy the oppressor. Where is the fury of the oppressor? He's going to destroy that. You have nothing to be afraid of. You're no longer bound by the wages of sin. You are now bound by the gift of life that was given to you from the son of God, Jesus. from the father of God, father god god father that brought his son Jesus. You see the spirit realm here acting up. It's been an interesting uh teaching but I'm going to tell you right now the son of god is Jesus Christ the messiah. He has redeemed us and he is the one who has freed us because he paid the debt of our sin. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. And yet you forget. How do you not forget? You have to ask yourself that question. What can you do to not forget? You see, if you're continuously in abiding in him, you create a routine, a habit. It helps a whole lot to develop that and put God first in your life. Jesus. Psalm 27:1, "The Lord is my light and my salvation. Whom shall I fear? The Lord is the strength of my life. Of whom shall I be afraid? You see, you have no more fear. You can go out, get in your car, and pray and say, "You know what? I'm going to get to my destination safely and quickly." You prophesy it, and you have no worries to fear because you've got God already dealing with the oppressor. He's getting ready. If you notice, his plan is coming to a conclusion. We're in the end times here. You see his plan. There's a fury uproar of all the devils right now. However, God says, "I'm taking care of them." He says, "You believe in me. I'm the I'm giving you the gift of life, my son, Jesus. When I'm giving you him, you are no longer oppressed. You're free. You don't have to be thinking about the consequences of driving on the road or cooking in your kitchen or doing something wrong. You do not have to fear because you have Jesus as your Lord and Savior. You confessed him as your Lord and Savior. Look at this. Hebrews 9:27. And as it is appointed for men to die once, but after this the judgment. Every man has to die. Every man. There's a conclusion to the journey of the life we're on. There was a beginning. You can start with Adam and Eve in their beginning, but you can also start with the birth of our beginning. And now we've been on this journey and one day that journey comes to a conclusion. However, there's a victory in that conclusion for those of you who realize that the gift of life provided by God the Father is your freedom because he paid your wages that you owed. And when you don't have wages to pay, what do you do with your life if you don't have any debt? You know, you can go buy whatever you want. You're free. You could do whatever you want. You want to go on a cruise, get up and go on a cruise. You want to go to the mountains, go to the mountains. You can go wherever you want because you have no debt. This is the freedom that Jesus gave you. And look at if you think death is a problem, watch this. Oh, death. This is 1 Corinthians 15:55. Oh death, where is your sin? Oh Hades, where is your victory? Look at this 56. The sting of death is sin. And the strength of sin is the law. But when Jesus paid your wages of your sin, you are now under the gift of life. And death can't harm you, do anything to you. There's no more sting. There's no more fear. You are free. Free indeed. You can go buy whatever you want. You can go live whatever way you want. Now, you better be obedient to the word of God and the way he tells you to live. But you have the freedom to live whatever way you want. If you know, I I remember uh Dr. Jean Scott, he'd be up on stage smoking a cigar while he's preaching the word of God. And back then, everyone thought smoking and and drinking were the sins. But, you know, it's the addiction behind it that's the sin. It's not that. If you want to go smoke a cigar, go smoke a cigar. You have the freedom to do it. I I'm trying to teach you the freedom that you have here. So, don't misconstrue my words here. Don't let it own you. In other words, if you have to have the cigar because your body is telling you, then you've gone too far. But if you want the freedom to go have it, you can. You see the difference that you're now free because the wages of sin has been paid for. Now I personally, this is something I do in my life and I follow Job in this example is I repent every day. Every night when we have our closing prayers every night, I continuously repent every night. Say, "Lord, forgive me of my sins. Forgive the sins of the land. Come into my heart again and be my Lord and Savior." And I thank him. Job, every time his kids had a a gathering and they partied, he went and did sacrifices for them. And his thought process was just in case they cursed God while they were under the influence. Do you see the freedom you have now? The freedom to live. Yeah, people are going to judge you, but let them judge you with the freedom that you have. Let them see how free because you tell them, "Hey, the son of God, the one who held the waters in the hollow of his hand forgave me because he paid my wages." Oh, death, oh death, where is your sting? I'm telling you, God is awesome. Second Corinthians 5 through8. And I don't have the chapter here. Obviously, I missed I didn't put that in here. Sorry about that. Now, he in fact, let's go find it. Uh, let's see. Now he who has prepared us for this very thing is God who also has given us the spirit as a guarantee. So we are always confident knowing that while we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord. For we walk by faith, not by sight. We are confident, yes, well pleased, rather to be absent from the body and to be present with the Lord. Isn't that awesome? For we walk by faith, not by sight. Let me get you that chapter because obviously I missed it in here. faith not by sight. This is 2 Corinthians 5. So it's chapter 5 and we were so it's chapter 5 and we read verses 5 through8. You can see why I made a mess up there but hey you can forgive me. But look at this. I want you to see something because oh death oh death where is your sting? Look at this. He who has prepared us for this very thing is God who has given us the spirit as a guarantee. You see, God is the one who sent his son. He sent his son to pay the wages and gave the authority of his son over the spirit. And the spirit had to do what the son did. And the son though says, I do the will of my father. Now you have all this freedom. Your wages have been paid. And look at this. You are always c. So we are always confident knowing me. Check this out. I want you to see when your wages are paid for and you get that. Look at this. He says we are always confident knowing that we while we're at home in the body. Yes, we're absent from the Lord. But look at this. He says, "But we walk by faith, not by sight. Don't look at this moment. Put your eyes on God." And he says, "We are confident." Yes. Well, please. rather to be absent from the body and to be present with the Lord. We'd rather be there. We will be there when our race is done. But while we're going on our race, we do our thing in confidence because we walk by faith, not by sight. Oh death, oh death, where is your sting? There is no sting. There's no fear. You can go out and do what you and and yes, keep confessing. Look at Romans 10:9. 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. Look at for whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved. Verse 13. If you do it over and over again, which is something I do, you start again refreshed. But I'm telling you, I was saved from the moment I called on God the first time. I just do it again and again more for a peace of mind, a reminder. So I don't forget who my maker is. Who the one is that paid these wages. This mighty mighty being that entered his creation that put mountains and hills and scales that even calculated the perfect amount of death to be on this earth. This is who paid the wages of sin. And by the way, not everyone accepts and believes why they don't want to. They don't want to go to hell either, but and some say they do want to go to hell. But there are some who say they don't want to go to hell, but they don't want to go where God is either. Well, I'm telling you, it's only the two places. You're going to have to make up your mind. And not making your mind up for God is destination hell. So, keep that in in the back of your mind. But in the freedom that you have here and knowing that you are free, your wages have been paid. It it's a weight off your shoulders. There is a transformation that takes place because now you want to thank Jesus for what he did. Be thankful. Remember who he is. Set your pattern, your routine to include a thank you to him every day. And if you truly want to go further, you can press in and abide in his presence. And I promise you, your eternity has already begun the moment you confess Jesus as the son of God. So now sin is gone. You're in his presence. You're not aging anymore. Think about that. There's a lot of people who don't want to age. They don't want to die. Well, you don't have to. You don't even need a bottle. You don't need any kind of medicine. You just go into the presence of the Lord. Hey God, how you doing today? I'm doing fantastic. Thank you for your blessings. You are amazing. By the way, have I said this before? Thank you for paying for the sins. I'm so grateful. What is it that I can do for you today? That's all he's asking for is a relationship with you. He just wants to have a rapport. you want to joke about things, he'll joke with you. By the way, he's fun to be around and it's fun to watch him uh get some people back that need to get uh back. God is awesome and that is Jesus. This is the one who paid the way. Just notice the the dynamic of the relationship between the father, the son, and the spirit. You see the three of them working in unity for you. For God so loved the world that he gave his son Jesus. Jesus was already with them. He do you see that in John 3:16? For God so loved the world that he gave. How can he give something unless he has it? Meaning he had Jesus before Jesus came. I hope you get that. And when Jesus came, he was born of a virgin. He grew up, he was taught by God and by the spirit. He was taught, he was counseledled actually. He was taught by God in that whole time. But then he said, "The spirit will come and comfort you." This is now the son of God saying that Jesus did exactly what his father taught him to do. Now, how are you going to go live your life? Deuteronomy 30 tells you to choose life. And wherever you go, whether you're in the city or in the desert, you will be blessed if you put God first. Here I go again about having a relationship with God and putting him first for your life.
