  • OBEDIENCE IN YOUR CALLING | House of Faith Ministries (HoFM)

    OBEDIENCE IN YOUR CALLING Written Teaching Minister Lisa Kane November 18, 2023 Objective To encourage believers to walk faithfully in their God-given callings with humility and obedience, understanding that every follower of Christ is commissioned to share the gospel, serve others, and operate in the power of the Holy Spirit. Synopsis In “Obedience in Calling” (Mark 16:15), Minister Lisa Kane teaches the importance of recognizing and submitting to the calling God has placed on every believer’s life. The message begins with the general commission to go into all the world and preach the gospel, reminding us that our mission extends beyond the church walls into everyday encounters—whether at the grocery store, workplace, or neighborhood. Drawing from scripture, Lisa shows how Jesus lived His calling (Luke 4:18–19), how Jonah initially resisted his call, and how Saul misunderstood his anointing, contrasting their responses with David’s servant-hearted obedience. Believers are urged to understand that being called is not limited to preaching—it includes gifts of service, healing, prayer, and leadership. The teaching emphasizes that the Holy Spirit empowers us through baptism, anointing, and prayer to walk in these assignments. Each act of obedience carries eternal weight: not only bringing deliverance and healing to others but also establishing believers as future witnesses in God’s judgment. Ultimately, the message calls Christians to servant leadership, daily obedience, and prayerful intercession—living as Christ’s hands and feet in the world. By humbly yielding to God’s direction, we bring glory to Him and fulfill our role in the harvest of souls. Written and/or Transcribed Teaching from Video Hello and welcome to the House of Faith Ministries. I'm Lisa Kaine and I'm recording this on Saturday, November 18th, 2023. Welcome. This message is called Obedience in Calling. Let's open up in a word of prayer. Father God, we thank you for the anointing of your presence and we thank you for the living word of God to be alive and to superimpose itself upon us, Father God, that we may walk in your calling, that we may deliver your word, that we may preach the gospel, share the good news to all around us, so that each and every person can hear and be saved. Father God, we glorify you and honor you. We thank you for calling us to the callings that you have in our lives. In the glorious name of Jesus, we pray. Amen. And amen. Amen. Amen. Let's go to uh our opening scripture here. That's obedience in your calling. We're going to start here in Mark 16:15, the King James version. And he said unto them, "Go ye into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature." I get it. Sometimes we wonder, "What is our calling in life?" So, what I'm going to do is I'm going to show you the general calling that the scriptures tell us to follow. We do have special gifts that we will be anointed with and blessed with those that are walking in those gifts by the Holy Spirit. We're also going to see in the scriptures what Jesus calling was. We're going to see uh different people and how they reacted with their calling that was that they should have followed and obeyed. So, I'm going to bring all that here because I really want you to see the different reactions that are out there is kind of interesting, but at the same time, I'm hoping to encourage you to be attentive to what you're hearing around you. You should be listening to other preachers and pastors teaching as well. And if you are, you're going to find that there is a general consensus like with what we've been praying and teaching on um you know uh deliverance within ourselves. This has been a thing going on and and like Lance Wallnau uh his prophecy prophetic summit here in 2024 that he got to speak at, you know, he's one of the teachers there. He shared and we need to go out into the world. He's talking about his uh seven mountains. You can go check him out. That's Lance Wall now. W A L L N AU's I I was blessed by his message and I hope that you are too. that you should be listening to others because what you find is that they're teaching similar to what you're teaching or what the low Holy Spirit is showing you in the secret place. So if you've been reading his scriptures, which is what I've been preaching, you will find pastors and preaching pastors and teachers preaching the same thing and you'll be like, "Oh, the Holy Spirit is speaking to me." And that's how this works. So let's start here. Mark 16:15, he says, "Go." Which means, you know, get out. get out of the the church. You see, most people that attend a church attend it once, twice, maybe three times a week. You do have your occasional Easter and Christmas service attendees as well, but for the most part, most people tend to go about two, three times a week. Well, the issue is what about the rest of the week? You see, we need to be outside the walls of the church ministering the word of God out there. The church is already in the presence of the Lord in our secret place. The body of Christ is already there. What we need to do is go out there because the harvest is out there. So, we have to go reap the harvest or water it, whatever. We're called to tend the garden as Adam was called to do. Well, that's what you're saying here. He's telling you to go. you need to travel, depart, whatever it is, you know, and when you walk into like your grocery store, your gas station, when you start speaking to the people and you interact with people, God bless you. Have a wonderful day. How are you? You know, interact and have that conversation because you'll be surprised how many lives you will impact just from doing that. And there you don't even have to have any scripture. When Paul was talking to I forget what church it was, but as he's talking to that particular area, he met them at their area of being knowledgeable or they thought they were knowledgeable. He b he used their gods and their messages and turned it around on them. He didn't have to use the word of God there. But the Holy Spirit will give us what to say, when to say, and how to say it. So, we got to get out into the world. And that world there means orderly arrangement. Let me remind everybody the way I teach this is the word word in bold is the word in the scripture. What's in italicized in parentheses is other words that could have been translated in that world in in that word. All right. So we got go which means travel depart. We have world orderly arrangement just things that are set up in arrangement. And to preach and what does that word preach mean? to herald divine truth, herald divine truth, proclaim, publish. So with when you can do it multiple ways, do it with your body language. Do it with your mouth. God bless you. Hey, how you doing? You don't even have to say God bless you. Just smile and are you doing okay? Is everything okay with you? It's great to see you. How's everything going? And even if this is strangers, you simply say, hey, you look nice. or hey, you know, I hope you're having a great day cuz God is with you or the L the Holy Spirit will give you the right thing to say at the right time. Amen. So, we're told to go into the world. We're told to herald the divine truth, which is the gospel, the good news, and that gospel there's good message to every creature. That word creature, there's building, creation, ordinance. You see what I'm doing now? I'm called to teach and preach the living word of God, but I'm not in a church. I'm with the house of faith ministries. And that is the covering I have over me. That's what I'm called. House of Faith Ministries is an ordinance, a building. That is what this is talking about when it says every creature. It's like going and preaching to uh Elon M Musk and X or going to Walmart because see all of these buildings are part in part we all walk in part of that system that's in place. I'm working on getting the prayers written up so we can place them here on in the section in the website called empowering prayers. As I get the prayers broken up, we'll be praying for businesses. So, as you're praying for them behind the scenes, when you walk into them, you want to make your presence known by you smile because the people will sense it and they will know. Amen. Let's look at Luke 4:18 and 19. This is Jesus speaking. This is the calling Jesus had on his life. The spirit of the Lord is upon me because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor. He hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, to preach the acceptable year of the Lord. Okay, so this is what Jesus had. Now, we can always go back to Psalm 149 and realize that through his blood and his redemption, we're to be Christlike and we've been given authorities, which is what those prayers. And I just finished teaching on this in the last couple of weeks. So, you can get into that and go check it out. I'm just going to get it up on the website so that it's written down so we can follow it. But, I want you to see the things that Jesus were tasked to do. It wasn't just to die on the cross. He had things to accomplish in his ministry. Now remember, he is the word of God, the living word of God. He's the embodiment of it, personification of it. He's the one that came to life out of that because he wrote it. So he knew every word in the entire scriptures but written by all authors. He knew them all and he knew what he had to fulfill while he was walking here on the earth. So he says, "The spirit of the Lord upon is upon me." Now, if we're to be Christlike, we need the spirit of the Lord upon us. To do that, you get water baptized. When Jesus was baptized, the dove came upon him. Now, you when you get baptized and this the spirit of the Lord comes upon you, that's when you're ready to go into ministry. Now, you could always go look at the day of Pentecost where Peter stands up in Acts and prior to that there were flames coming out of his head or all of their it was 120 of them. They're speaking in tongues and people heard them in their own language. So, there was a manifestation of the spirit there and that spirit is something we can be giving out to others and praying over. Elders should be praying the Holy Spirit anointing upon their congregation, people that are ready to walk into their calling. So, this is a couple of ways that you walk in. One, you get baptized, and two, have the elders pray the anointing over you. Get the spirit of the Lord upon you. Now, if you're being called to, let's say, be a pastor, they will pray over you. They will anoint you with oil. So when you have a special calling, be a king, a senator, uh whatever calling, the leadership of your company, whatever it is that has, you can do that in the name of Jesus, have someone pray over you and anoint you with oil. This solidifies the contract and lets the enemy and the heavenly realm know that you are covered and called in this area. This is how this works. Okay. Now, the spirit of the Lord is upon me because he hath anointed. There was contact with oil made to preach the gospel, the good news to who? The poor. What is the churches supposed to do? You need to have food for the poor. Do you have money? You should be buying groceries for your neighbors that you know that don't have any. You should be buying groceries for your church and not outdated things. It should be current fresh food that you can hand out to your followers. This is very important. This is that's another part of a calling in our lives. He has sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to make whole. You see that word heals, cure, make whole, and the brokenhearted is crushed and shattered. How many people do you hear in this service or in a Bible study where they're sharing in confidence things that are going on around them? They're in really bad shape. They're broken and you can see it. And it's like, wow. Well, if Jesus came to heal them, guess what you are called to do? To heal them, too. to preach deliverance, freedom, pardon to the captives because there's people in bondage. They have no idea how to get out of it. But if you are listening to this message and have been following this message, you are in the secret place with the Lord. You are filled with the anointing of the Holy Spirit. You can go pray for them and know exactly what to pray, which is what I've been teaching. That's why I want to put it in writing and get it on the website to the captives which captives are prisoners of war. There's a war you know you're born automatically into a war the moment of conception your mother conceived you in sin and now you are sin. So immediately you have to repent. So it takes a few years because you grow up and as you grow up you finally say, you know, Lord, I need you to be lord my lord of me, be my savior because I have sinned and I messed up. And see, now you get on your path with God and you start growing with him. Start learning and recovering of sight to the blind, restoring the blind's eyes. They can't see. There's people out here who are under a strong delusion right now. They can't see what's going on. They're blinded. They're It's just opaque to them. And in fact, they think that you're nuts. Well, guess what? They're the ones that are blinded. It's not us. To set out liberty, them that are bruised. So, we can also take these people that have been buffeted and hurt by the devil and proclaim liberty and pardon them. We get to pardon them. This is the atonement and the priest and the priestly acts that is our responsibility a calling in our lives. These are little things that we should be doing. Jesus was doing watch what he says here to preach the acceptable year of the Lord. Look at that. So we get to proclaim an acceptable or approved favored year. We get to do that just as much as Jesus did. He did it. I'll show you the scripture here regarding that. Watch it here in a moment. So, and then the Lord is the authority. So, we get to set this year apart. We have a new year coming up here very shortly. We get to proclaim it as an acceptable year of the Lord placing God's favor on it because we, the church, the body of Christ, taking back what the enemy had stolen from us because that is the prayer, the calling we have in our lives. This is awesome. what the Lord is doing. Now look at this in John 14:12. Verily, verily, I say unto you, he that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also, and greater works than these shall he do, because I go unto my father. You see, Jesus was in the flesh, and he walked the earth for 33 years. He healed the sick. He showed he healed the blind. He let people be delivered. He cast out demons. These are the things we should do because we're in the flesh. He had to go to the father. He's now in the spirit. So now in the flesh, we have to take up his duty. And it was Did you see the the extra part there? And greater. I've got to do more than Jesus. I'm going to tell you when Peter cru was crucified, martyed, upside down on the cross, he did it willingly. He went up there and says, "I did what I was told to do. I've been waiting for this day because I knew I was going to die for Christ." And I taught on this a few weeks ago. So when you see the calling in your life, these are the things you're going to do which is greater than what Jesus did here on the earth. And if you don't think that you can do that, you better get the Holy Spirit because this is biblical and this is what Jesus is saying to us. get it. I'm reading it right off the living word of God right here in front of you. But notice, look at he says he he that believeth that believeth means to have faith and the works, the toil, the deeds, the labor that Jesus did greater, larger, the elder of those works shall we do. And what is that word do? To make, agree, appoint, band together, cast out. because we're still in the flesh while he's gone on to the Holy Spirit. You see how we had to come in agreement there? This is interesting. Okay, we have to come into agreement and we have to walk and choose to walk in this. Now, you may think, well, I can't do any of that. That's exactly what you should be thinking. Not by might nor by power, but by his spirit, says the Lord. So all you're doing is saying, "Okay, Lord, in obedience, I'm going to go lay hands on this person." Now look at what Jonah did because I want you to see Jonah, his calling. Now the word, so this is Jonah chapter 1 1-3. Now the word of the Lord came unto Jonah, the son of Amiti, saying, "Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and cry, call out against it, for your wickedness has come up before me." But Jonah rose up to flee into unto Tarses for the presence of the Lord and went down to Japa and he found a ship going to Tarses. So he paid the fair thereof and went down into it to go with him into Tarses from the presence of the Lord. He was supposed to go to Nineveh and because that's his calling. But he got mad because he felt that Nineveh did not deserve grace. He knew they would repent. See, Jonah knew the moment he spoke, they're going to re receive and believe. And he took off because he was mad. And he told God straight up. See, God understands relationships. He understands your hurt. He wants to hear you tell him these things. Now, in the case of Jonah, he went running and God sent a great fish after him. And he ends up staying in this fish for three days because it took him that long to come to the conclusion that God was in control. Yeah. And and then he repented. He humbled himself. He went to Nineveh and they got saved and he was all happy about it, but they repented. And I wanted you to see that because he disobeyed his calling. We have to obey our calling. Where are you? Did you run? Are you the one running? Or are you in a situation where you are praying? You're going to church, but you don't know what to do. This is where you have to purpose yourself to get the knowledge of the living word of God in you, which means you spend time, quality time with the Lord and his word. Amen. Now, I want you to look at Saul. This is a man that was going to become King Saul. Watch what happens here. So in 1st Samuel 9:16, "Tomorrow about this time," so God is talking to Samuel. He says, "Tomorrow about this time, I will send thee a man out of the land of Benjamin, and thou shalt anoint him to be what? Captain, commander." Did he say king? I want you to see some revelation here. This is awesome. Over my people Israel. that he may save free safe entity my people out of the hand of the Philistines for I have looked upon my people because their cry is come unto me. Saul was not called to be king. The people asked for a king and God says to Samuel, I'm going to give them what they want. He gives them a commander to rule over them to help them defeat the Philistines. So he's a captain. He's a commander, but his calling was to save the people out of the hand of the Philistines. That's what his calling was to do. That's all Saul was called to do. And yet, he went a little step further. Now, Samuel prophesies and he tells him everything that's going to go happen. But in the meantime, Samuel took a vial of oil. This is now Samuel 10:1. And poured it on his head, and kissed him, and said, "Is it not because the Lord hath anointed thee to be captain commander over his inheritance?" I want you to see something. You notice he anointed him with oil. If you're called to be an elder of a church or a pastor of a church, they got to anoint you with oil to be able to do that. You can't do it without having the calling and the anointing on you. And there's specific words. And look at the specific words. He's called to be the captain, a commander over Israel, which is the inheritance. They're going to occupy that land. This is their heirloom. This is their possession. This is what's been given to Saul. And by the way, if he defeats the Philistines, his kingdom now will be establish. His captain, his commandership. He's got blessings ahead of him. Oh, but let's look at what happened because this is very important because now Samuel prophesies over Saul and says this is exactly what you're going to do. Verse six of chapter 10, the spirit of the Lord come upon thee and thou shalt prophesy with him and shalt be turned into another man. So Saul is not a spiritual kind of man, but he's going to have an encounter that is spiritual, and it's going to make him think like he's a prophet or a seer himself. So he is going to be turned into another man. He and verse seven, and let it be when these signs are come unto thee that thou do as occasion serve thee, for God is with thee. So see, God gave him his calling. He got anointed. So now God and Saul are joined together to defeat the Philistines. That's what Saul's calling is. When you're called and you're anointed, you and God joined together and you need to do exactly what your calling is. Now watch this. Verse nine. And it was so that when he had turned his back to go from Samuel, God gave him another heart. Look at that word though. It means hinder next and other. And all those things came to pass that day. God already purposed. He knew exactly what Saul was going to do. So now Saul was going to become a hindrance to David. Because see the people wanted Saul and Saul ran ahead from it but pulled him out, anointed him with oil and then simply gave him a captainship, a a commander. They didn't give him kingship and he gave him a new heart. He had a new heart. He now had a covenant with God. But part through there, instead of going after the Philistines and serving God, he decided to put a crown on his head and serve as king to the people because that's what the people wanted. But that word heart meant hindrance. And then comes David, the apple of his eye. Look at Psalm 89:3 and4. I have made a covenant with my chosen. This is God talking. I have sworn unto David my servant. Thy seed will I establish forever and build up thy throne to all generations. You see now, God, he God's the one handling all this. So you're you if you're obedient to your calling, how little or how great it is. If it's just a smile unto people, because there's not everybody's made to be a preacher, not everybody is made to walk in wisdom, knowledge, understanding, but there are tongues, there are gifts of healings, there's gifts of administration, there are all kinds of gifts from the Holy Spirit that you can have a calling on. So don't limit yourself and don't limit God. But look, if Saul had continued obeying God, do you think that his seed would have been the one that was established and Jesus would have came through his seed? See, God chooses you. You're his elect, and he will swear unto you. And look at what David is, though. He's a servant. You see, to be a king, you need to be a servant. The best commanders, captains, kings, leadership. The best ones are the ones who serve the people. So your calling is servantthood. Be humbled before the Lord as you share the living word of God. As it per person personifies itself, it comes out of you. That is walking with God. Now let's go to Acts 18. Now this is Jesus talking to the 120 or to the disciples. But ye shall receive power after the Holy Ghost has come upon you and ye shall be witnesses upon me unto me both in Jerusalem and in all Judea and in Samaria and unto the uttermost part of the earth. Look at that. You shall receive you're going to take get hold of force a miraculous power when the Holy Ghost comes upon you. superimposes himself on you and you'll be witnesses. Look at that word witness. It means to martyr, record. You see, there's two parts to your calling. It's not just being obedient and going out and doing what you're told to do. You're serving that. You're obedient. You do that. But when you do that, you're doing it to a recipient. And whether that recipient receives or not, you're going to judge that recipient in the future. That's how this works. So let's go take a look at that because this is very important because this is part of your calling. Matthew 12:40 through42 Jesus is talking. For as Jonas was, this is Jonah, but the King James version translates it and said Jonas. For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly or the fish's belly, so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth. The men of Nineveh shall rise in judgment with this generation. And what was Jonah? What did he do? He had to go to the city of Nineveh, preach to them so they would get saved. He ended up doing it because he didn't want to, but they got saved. So what Jesus is saying, that generation that got saved is going to stand up in judgment with this generation that Jesus is currently walking and ministering to and shall condemn it. the folks of Nineveh that got saved in the time of Jonah, they're going to stand up and they're going to condemn this generation. And the reason they get that right to do it because they repented at the preaching of Jonah and behold, a greater than Jonah is here. Do you see the power and the authority of the calling now you have? Because it's twofold. It's not just you being obedient going there. that's in the flesh, but in the spirit, you're going to come back and you're going to judge because this is how this works. This is how God has established it and set it up. Verse 42, the queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with this generation and shall condemn it because why would she do it? For she came from the innermost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon and behold a greater than Solomon is here. See, they went out of their way to believe in God and they didn't even have the Messiah there. But now that the Messiah is there, this generation is rejecting him. But he's he's saying, "Okay, well, you know what? I'm going to the these generations are going to rise up and judge you because they rejected the Messiah." Oh. So even though you're preaching and you're sharing the gospel, you smile. If somebody goes h and just walks away from you, guess what? You're the one who's going to judge them if they go to the afterlife life and never repent. That's your calling. So if you're obedient, you're the one sharing the good news. You're not the one on the other side supposed to be receiving it but rejecting it. There's a lot of people who are rejecting. We have to be very careful and cautious of this because when we're teaching, when we're sharing the spirit of God when we're saying the right words that the Holy Spirit gives us to that person in the grocery store or at the gas station or the laundromat, wherever you're at, I promise you that the Holy Spirit's going to give you those right words. and they're either going to accept or reject. Either you're part of the watering line that goes on on top of a person because people get saved weird ways. It the reaping of the harvest for that individual can happen after 20 different people God sent to them telling them the same thing over and over again. you. Sometimes it takes that kind of thing to happen from God to make that happen to get that person to realize maybe there is a God and he is talking to me. What do I do to get saved? And then the doors open. But this is our calling. This is what we do. Let's go back to John 14:12 because now I want you to see this with all of that knowledge behind you. Verily, verily, I say unto you, he that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also, and greater works than these shall he do, because I go unto my father. So Jesus clearly telling us we're going to be doing greater works than he did, which is healing, casting out demons, and being obedient to what his word is, and confessing Jesus as the son of God, sharing that to all those around us. Amen. Go back to Mark 16:15, our opening scripture. And he said unto them, "Go ye into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature." That's your calling because you are going to judge those people on the aftermath if they choose to reject. Now, if they choose to receive, hallelujah, whether, like I said, you either watered them, nourished them, you're part of that line of people that came and talked to them and they eventually get saved. Whether it's 20 people, 10 people, 50 people, whatever it is, they finally get saved. Woo! Well, then after that, if they choose to reject, you're one of the ones that are come forward in the afterlife and going to judge them because that's just the way things are. So in this obedience that we need to have, the best thing we need to do is be a servant unto that and be obedient to that. So we're going to say a prayer here. I'm going bring it up on the screen. Let's say it together so that we can let the spirit of servantthood come upon our hearts and minds so that we can walk in the obedience that we're called to do. This is called prayer of servantthood the servants covenant and you can find this in the empowering prayer section of the house of faithministries.org website and this is a prayer that's a petition to become a humble servant. This is founded in John 12:26. Whoever serves me must follow me and where I am my servant also will be. My father will honor the one who serves me. So let's pray. Dear Jesus, let's let's do it straight on the screen. Just repeat after me. Father in heaven, I surrender all positions in life to you in order to become Jesus's faithful servant and to follow him. This body is not my own, but it has been purchased with the blood of Jesus. I want to be in your perfect will, Lord Jesus. Let everything that I do bring glory and honor to you, dear Lord. Teach me to be humble. Train me to be your faithful servant. Amen. Of course, if you need to repeat this or you didn't get it all, you can pause the video and go back and say it out loud. You need to say it out loud because what's going on around you is the kingdom of God is there. So, you have the throne room where God is judge. He's righteous and he's up there. And then you have D uh the devil over here accusing you of whatever it is that you've done. You have Jesus standing next to you because you repented and you said, "Okay, Lord, I'm going to be obedient. I call on the name of the Jes the son of God, Jesus, and I repent and I ask him to be my Lord and Savior." So Jesus now is covering you. So here's the devil accusing you of whatever it is. And you repented. And so Jesus is saying to God, I accept hers or his repentance and those things are no longer active. So God's up there in the throne room looking at what you did. He crosses it out with the blood of Jesus says, "Yep, you're clean, saved, and whole." And the devil is frustrated because he can't do anything. And now you get to move forward like Jesus under his obedience. And every time you move forward, you do it in prayer. It starts in the secret place with the Lord. When you're in the secret place with the Lord, you are praying behind the scenes for those folks at your grocery store, for your neighbors, for your government, for your teachers and the education system, for the entertainment system, for your life, for your family and friends. And what you're doing is you say, "Lord, I atone for them. I stand in their shoes and I lift up my hands with them and I say on their behalf, Lord, forgive me. Be my Lord and Savior. Come into my heart and forgive me and help me walk in the living word of God." You see, when you are praying on their behalf, the strong angels now move forward to those people. They start fighting the demons off and the demons are saying no no no no no I have a contract here and see the first thing you do is because you say Lord forgive me of my sins the contract becomes nullified and so they have the demons have to let go in fact you could even go further and say demons get below my feet I bind you with feathers of iron preventing you from interfering in my family's life my workplace co-workers my neighborhood You say all of that. You bind that devil. You put him below your feet. And you can go one step further and say, "Lord, rebuke you." And here's the best part because you get to execute judgment. And like Psalm 149 said, I've already taught on this. You get to tell you because you're starting with forgiveness. You're actually asking God to open their ears and eyes, hearts and minds to he to see, hear, and and receive and believe the living word of God. because you're asking them to do that. There's forgiveness there. So, you're asking God, give them the opportunity to receive repentance because God will give them that opportunity. But I promise you, there are going to be some that are still rebelling, rejecting, and blasphemy the Holy Spirit because you're dealing with people that the devil has gotten into so bad. They're stuck there. And whether they're going to stay there or not, that's between God and them. But what you get to do is you give them that opportunity and then you go to the Lord and said Lord if they continue to reject you then Lord rebuke them and God will take care of them. This is why we have the consequences of sin which is uh cancer diseases people dying before their time should be. You see, these are the things that unbelievers or people rejecting God blatantly and rejecting the Holy Spirit, those are the things they have to deal with until they repent. And then your life turns around remarkably. You won't have those curses upon you because that's the way God works. I encourage each and every one of you to get into the secret place with the Lord and one, open the Bible and read what God is telling you. to pray. You have a calling. Every believer has a calling of prayer in their lives. God may take you further up to your calling, but I promise you, you need to be obedient to the heavenly father and the calling he has in your life because he needs you in place in lie of Jesus who had to go home in spirit. We're the ones still in the flesh and we're the ones that need to serve in the name of Jesus. Hallelujah. Let's close in a word of prayer. Father God, we thank you for your word. We thank you for showing us how to live your word, how to pray, how to submit and humble ourselves before you, how to be a servant, how to call on you and to be obedient to the calling you have in our lives and wh Home Watch the Video Teaching

  • UNDERSTANDING THE BOOK OF REVELATION PART 4 | House of Faith Ministries (HoFM)

    UNDERSTANDING THE BOOK OF REVELATION PART 4 Written Teaching Pastor Marcos Marrero May 24, 2009 Objective Equip listeners to understand Revelation 6–7 as the convergence point of God’s “physical” and “spiritual” timelines—clarifying the roles of the seals, the rapture, Israel’s sealing (144,000), and Jesus’ teaching in Matthew 24—so they can watch, persevere, and minister with confidence as end-time signs intensify. Synopsis Opening prayer & posture: A call to lay aside tradition and flesh, receive “rivers of living water,” and be strengthened for spiritual battle. Twofold structure of Revelation: Chapters 1–3 present the physical, linear church age (seven churches); chapters 4–6 unveil the spiritual dynamics behind that history (throne, Lamb, seals). Four horsemen as four forces: Antichrist deception, war, economic upheaval, and death operate to bring Israel (law) and the Church (grace) back into the same prophetic moment, culminating in Revelation 6. Fifth & sixth seals: The fifth seal highlights sacrificial witnesses (“under the altar”); the sixth seal pulls back the sky—heaven and earth meet, signaling imminent divine wrath and triggering end-time transitions. Transfer of anointing & the 144,000 (Rev 7:1–8): Before wrath falls, an angel “from the east” halts judgment; the Church is removed (Philadelphia kept from the hour of trial) and Israel is sealed (12,000 from each tribe) to carry the covenant witness. Great multitude (Rev 7:9–17): An innumerable company from every nation, tribe, people, and language appears before the throne—identified as those coming out of many tribulations who washed their robes in the Lamb’s blood (the raptured Church across the ages). Clocks and convergences: Physical clock: Six thousand years (six “days”) leading to the millennial Sabbath; 144 generations picture completion. Spiritual clock: 120 Jubilees (Noah motif) also converge near the end; both clocks meet at the sixth seal. Tribulation vs. wrath: Tribulation = persecution by men throughout the church age; wrath = God’s seven-year judgment. Confusing these leads to timing errors about the rapture. “No one knows the day or hour” (Mt 24): Read in context of the midpoint events (abomination of desolation). As in Noah’s day, God revealed the year and even a seven-day window; Zechariah 14 suggests a unique day when normal time is suspended to allow Israel’s flight on a Sabbath/winter. Midpoint details & flight: After the two witnesses’ 1,260 days, their death/resurrection coincides with Israel’s flight to refuge (Azal/“scapegoat” imagery from the Day of Atonement). God preserves a remnant for 1,290 days while others seal their testimony in martyrdom. Pastoral charge: Do not neglect Revelation or end-time preaching. Watch the signs (globalism, Israel, wars, upheavals), stay sober and ready, and lead others to Christ with boldness when the world is shaken—rejoicing at His appearing. Written and/or Transcribed Teaching from Video Indeed, Father in heaven, we ask that you grant us now ears to hear and a heart to understand, Father God. And I uh submit myself now, Father God, to the leading of the Holy Spirit. And I pray that I myself may have ears to hear, a heart to understand, and a mouth to speak the revelation that the Holy Spirit will want to bring to us tonight. Father uh in heaven in Jesus name. I agree with Fred as we bind the enemy right now. Father God as we declare the anointing of God in this place from above, beneath all around us, within us and through us, Father God, that the rivers of living waters that are attached to us through the Holy Spirit that is within us may be loose open today, Father God. Let all of the hindrances, all of the resistance, all of the failures, all of the garbage of the past, let it be washed away by the rivers of living waters, Father God. We don't want religion. We don't want no dead men's tradition. We don't want nothing, Father God, that has to do with the flesh of the world. We pant, Father God, for the rivers of living waters that flow from the heaven above, the door that Jesus has opened for us by writing our names in heaven. We come, Father God, and we thirst. And like Zechariah says that in the day of the latter rains, ask the Lord for rain. We ask for the rain now, Father God. In this day of the latter rain that we may be fed, nourished, and Father God, strengthened for the battle that lies ahead in Jesus name, we thank you, Lord. Amen. Amen. Praise God. Hallelujah. I'm ready to fight. I'm ready to fight. Praise God. Hallelujah. We um uh concluded uh last week and that um um the sixth seal and of course as we have been studying I said that the the first three chapters of the book of revelation chapter 1 2 and three gives us the physical timeline of the church age from the time that it was born to the time that it will be taken away. the Philadelphia church will be taken away, but the uh Leodysa church will have to go through the time of testing that's coming to test the entire world. And so that is a lineal and you can follow it from the letter to the the first church all the way to to the letters of the seven churches. And then I made the point that chapters four, five, and six are now the spiritual revelation of the same events that were given to us during the church age. And then I show by using this paper how the spiritual timelines work. And we see here that um in the whole seven years that God created uh I mean 7,000 years from Adam until the this present physical realm that we know of is done away with when the new Jerusalem comes down from heaven and God comes to dwell with us. uh that there are seven dispensation and we saw that innocent, conscience, human government and promise are the four forces that drive the whole of humanity. So when God enter into the covenant which was the promise that he gave to Abraham out of Abraham came two uh dispensations. One was the law or Israel came through Moses and it was given to Israel and grace the church which God made it through the known through the apostles and especially through Paul as he brought it to us. Now out of the Israel and the church when they two come together out of that time we're going to go into the kingdom age or entering into the rest seventh always means completion or rest. So we also notice that the first part of it deals with the whole 7-year period, the the condition of man, how God had to intervene by giving him a promise and then God introduced the law, his grace and from there to those who respond, we go to the kingdom age. Now the church age was given to us as a seven because God in in God's uh timing seven means a completion of something. God divides things into seven like the week. We have Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and then Sabbath the the seventh, that's when it rests, and then there's a new cycle. It begins again. So, we saw that we were given a message to seven churches. In chapters two and three, we have a physical revelation of the church age. So, since it's physical, it follows one, two, three, four, five, six, and seven because that's how we understand. But in the spiritual realm, following the the way that God does the seven, we can see that when we got to Revelation chapter 6, that God introduced four horses, a white horse, a red horse, a black horse, and a pale horse. And that symbolized the four spirits or the four winds or the four forces that are at work. And what are these forces working for in the spiritual realm? They are working to number one bring Israel which is represented by the law back as a nation and to bring the church which is the grace of God back into the same time to bring them together once again. See the church was born out of Israel. It were all all the apostles were uh Jews who were preaching the gospel. Jesus elected all 12 of them. And so then there was a separation to where the the Jews and were scattered. And so all of these forces have been working together to bring the church back. When John wrote the book of Revelation, Israel had already been out of the land for at least 30 or 40 years because it was in 60 AD that Titus invaded Jerusalem and destroyed the temple, destroyed everything. uh John wrote it probably 90 to 95 AD. So that was 35 years later when John is given this revelation. And so these four horsemen which is the antichrist wars one world economy and then one war that is going to involve oneth of the earth right around where Israel is at. Out of that is going to come two things. Number one, the souls that are under the altar. And we said that the uh under the altar is the blood and the ashes. When you brought a sacrifice, they had an altar. They had a a a a grill on the altar. They brought the sacrifice alive. They slaughter it. The blood ran down and then they burned it. If it was a burnt offering, the whole carcass of the animal was burned. So the ashes went down. So the term under the altar means something that was sacrificed to God completely and it was burned to ashes. Now we know that the Jews what they went through in in in in Europe was called a holocaust. Holocaust means burnt offering. Read the Spanish Bible and you see it. The word that they use for for burnt offering right here is holocaust. Holocaust mean to be burnt. And the reason why they call it the Holocaust is because Hitler burned most of the Jews. Their bodies had to be burned. How do you dispose of six million people? I mean that is that is hard to do. So they bury they had huge masses of of grave but it's too many. So they would burn them. So we see that out of these four horses the antichrist war this came out. And and so we see that because of at the end of World War II, Israel was born as a nation. So Israel was brought into the scene. And then we we saw that in Revelation chap uh I mean on Revelation chapter 6 when the uh fifth seal was open. Then when the sixth seal is open, which has not happened yet, we see that all of a sudden the skies roll back and now we have the spiritual and the physical in the same realm. There's no more wall or sky as where it says the sky receded as a scroll and everybody on the earth now we know that the earth is round and if we're here you go all the way to the other side of the earth there's people there when the sky rolls back it rolls back as much here as it does in China why because this is spiritual that's the spiritual realm so everybody wherever you happen to be on the earth you get to see that the lamb of god the wrath of god and the and the and the wrath of the lamb as it says when the sixth seal is open is ready to take place. And so we, this is what we see here. The wrath of the lamb happens on the sixth seal. And when we get to the uh uh first half of the wrath of God, which is uh uh 1,240, you see the same example. You see that one/ird of the earth, one-third of the sea, one-third of the rivers, one-third of the sun, moon, and stars. And then you see that the result of that is for the first five months tormenting demons are released. God allows all of the demons that are in hell to coexist with the humans here on the earth. And you say, "Well, why would God do that?" Because you tell people about hell, they don't believe it. And people died right now went up to hell and they want to come back and at least warn their families. That's what Jesus told us about Lazarus. Said, "Let me go warn my brothers and sisters." Well, see these people have refused to believe the gospel that has been preached to the whole world. So what God does is for five months he does not allow anybody to die. Nobody can die for five month. Imagine that. You can have somebody that gets beheaded. And I can imagine the the the head can actually still see and guide the body to pick crap and maybe hold it back up in there or something. You can't die. It says that it says and I'm I believe literal as much as I can on the word of God. It says that for five months nobody can die. And what happens is during those five months the demons, all of the demons of hell are released and torment everybody in the earth for five months. It says they tells you what they look like. They got long hair like woman, teeth like lion. And it says they have tails like scorpion. And when they sting you, it's like when a scorpion stings person. This is going to take place for five months. Then at the end of five months which is the uh uh uh uh the sixth trumpet or world two then four destroying angels are released and then everybody now that has repented and that says okay Lord I I know the hell is real I I believe I repent then their death will allow them to enter now into the rest of God. So these angels will come in and kill onethird of all of the humans are on the earth. This is how many people are going to believe. So we see the same principle whether you see it in the 7,000 year period of human history or whether you see it in the 2,000 year of the church you see the seven whether you see it on the 1260 days of the first week of re uh first half of the wrath of God you see it. So this is a spiritual principle which if we understand will help us to understand how things work. So here we have the first three chapters give us the literal or the physical revelation of the church age. We can go through history and we can see it. We can see that in the spirit realm. Chapter 4 showed us heaven before Jesus became flesh. Chapter 5 showed us the word of God coming flesh becoming a man then being worshiped and a and a claimed by everybody in heaven. Then he has now authority to open the seven seals. And as he unleashes the seven seals, we see that he's working on the church age. Now when the sixth seal was open, all of a sudden the sky was removed and now you have the spiritual world that we cannot see now and the physical world that we're in collide at one time. It all becomes one. So this is where we're going to start. If you have the book, we're going to start at page u um was it 29? I said 28. Page 28. This is uh the rapture of the church. And we're going to go to Revelation 7. And we're going to read verses 1-4. If you have your Bible, Revelation is the last book. And it says, beginning on verse one of Revelation chapter 7, after these things, I saw four angels. Now after these things meaning after the six seal was open and everybody saw that the throne of God and everybody saw the lamb and everybody was hiding in the bomb shelters and and told the rocks fall on us and hide us from the wrath of of God and of the lamb which is about to take place. So all of a sudden in Revelation 5:1 it says that four angels were standing at the four corners of the earth holding the four winds of the earth. Now what are the fourth wind? what I just show you in the paper, the the first seal, the second seal, the third seal, the fourth seal, the four horsemen of the apocalypse are like four winds or four influence or four forces that are at work to bring what this time when heaven and earth meet. Now, heaven and earth just met the skies were re uh receded. The judgment of God is about to happen. And then all of a sudden, an angel comes in from the east. He says uh uh after these things I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth holding the four winds of the earth that the wind should not blow on the earth on the sea or on any three. Then I saw another angel ascending from the east having the seal of the living God. And he cried out with a loud voice to the four angels to whom it was granted to harm the earth and the sea, saying, "Do not harm the earth, the sea, or the trees until we have what? seal the servants of our God on their foreheads. And I heard the number of those who were sealed. 144,000 of all of the tribes of the children of Israel were sealed. Now, what is taking place over here is simply this. The church is about to be removed. Why? Because in in in in the message to the church of Philadelphia, uh uh Jesus told John to write, "Because you have kept my word and because you have not deny my name, I'm going to keep you from the hour that's coming to test everybody who lives on the earth." So we keep faith. We believe the word of God. We do not deny the the deity of Jesus Christ. That is our ticket out of here when it comes. So what happens is as the uh uh because we saw that when Peter is quoting Joel that uh the mountains were removed that there was uh billows of smoke and earthquake there was all kinds of things taking place and as this thing frightful things were taking place which are natural events that are taking place and everybody knows that the wrath of God is about to come this angel that comes from the east he said wait a minute we can't begin the judgment yet? Well, why? Well, because we were not appointed unto wrath. Paul says in the letter to the Thessalonians, you have not been appointed unto wrath. So, if the wrath of the land is coming, we have to be taken out. That's what the angel from the east does. Remember, Jesus says that in in his coming, he's going to be like lightning that flashes from the east to the west. He's talking about the rapture. But see, the church cannot be raptured because the church is the anointed entity of God here on the earth. We have been anointed to rule and to reign. That we are the only spiritual authority. Just like Israel was the only authority before that. That doesn't mean that you have to be Jew to be saved. We're not talking about salvation. We're talking about an entity that is in charge of as an ambassador to to bring God's gospel or or whatever the the law for the dispensation is to the world. And so before the church gets taken out, that anointing which is the seal of the living God, when did the seal of the living God come? In the day of Pentecost when the Holy Spirit came and empowered the church, gave it the authority to carry out the work of God. Now that church is going to be removed, Israel has to be sealed. And so Israel responds by offering to God 12,000 young men who have never been with a woman. They're virgin. They're young. They're pure. 12,000 from each tribe. 144,000 are going to be offered to God and they're all will die by the time of the of the 1260 day and the two witnesses will die. So as they are offered to God, the anointing seal, God accepts their offering and their seal on their foreheads. And so here's what's happening. The sixth seal is open. The sky is removed. The world is screaming and crying because the earth is shaking. There's smoke. There's there's all kinds of things going on. The angel that come from the east, that's the rapture. The angel of the rapture says, "Hold everything. We have to transfer the authority from the church before we take it." Because when the church is gone, it's gone. And and the Leo, they say church don't have no authority. They deny Jesus is not it. Revelation 3:20, Jesus said, "Behold, I stand on the door and knock. If you open the door, I'll come in." Obviously, they never open the door. If they would open the door, they go up in the rapture. So, they're left. So, then the authorities transferred to the Jews. Now, who does this transferring? And of course, these are the two witnesses. The two witnesses while this guy is receding and it's back, not not just the angels coming in. The two witnesses come in. They will know what Jewish from what tribe and they will know exactly them to seal. But now here I'm going to give you a key and the key is that there are two clocks. There is a physical clock and there is a spiritual clock and the physical clock is governed by the times and the seasons. For example, uh uh uh uh the the earth takes 365 days to go around the sun. So that's a year. The earth takes 24 hours to go around on itself and within a circle. And that's called a day. And that is the what governs us. Our clock is governed by the position of the earth in relation to the sun. But when God introduced his spiritual clock, his spiritual clock was never dependent upon any physical thing. God just created everything on six days. And he says, "Okay, the seventh day is holy. We're going to rest on it. The seventh day can happen in winter. The seventh day can happen in summer. The seventh day can happen in spring. The seventh day represents God's spiritual clock." So now listen to this. Moses in Psalm 90 and and second Peter tells us that a day is like a year unto the Lord. And now I mean it's like a thousand years. A day is like a thousand years unto the Lord. Of course we have six dispensation. The seventh is when we enter into the day of rest. Revelation six different time says that Christ will reign on the earth for a thousand years. So, we do know that the last day is a Sabbath and it lasts a thousand years. So, that means that the first six days lasted 6,000 years. Okay? That's why when you add the the the calendar from the Bible, you come up that we're about the year 6,000 because we're about to enter into the day of rest. Now, look at this. The day symbolizes a thousand years. Now, if a day symbolizes a thousand years, what does the hour symbolize? Because we know that an a day has 24 hours. Well, guess what? The hour represents a generation. So, you see, out of every thousand years, God counts 24 generations. So, six working days is 144 hours. So when you come to the day of rest, the last hour, the 144th has to be the last one because that then you enter into the day of rest. So that tells us that this event is happening right at the end of 6,000 years because God except from Israel who's going to be now sealed 144,000. What that means is the 100th and 144th generation is the generation that will end time and then we'll go into the transition period of where we go a thousand years and it's physical. Moses says a day is like a thousand years and and and then by implication I know that an hour represents a generation. So there's 104. Adam was the first generation. Jesus says about the generation that will witness the signs on the sky when all of these things begin to happen. Jesus says this generation shall not pass away until all of these words are fulfilled. So the first generation was Adam and Eve. The last generation is the one that gets taken up. But there's more. There's the other time. The other time is the Sabbath time. God comes in through the law, through Moses, says, "Now, I want you to do this." He says, "When you go into the land, I want you to work the land for six years." In other words, you're going to plow the ground. You're going to put the seeds. You're going to take the weeds out. You're going to harvest. You're going to do this for six years. But the seventh year is holy. The land needs to rest. Nobody works on the seventh year. God told him, "Well, that's a problem. If you don't get paid for a whole year, you were in trouble, right?" So God says, "In the sixth year, I will bless you and your crops will produce double and then you put it in your barn." Man, I wish I had that deal today. I like to have every seventh year off without having to work. I have all my needs met, right? So this was idea. Then he says, "You do that is called a sbatical. You do that for a a cycle of seven. In other words, you do it the the first seven, the fourth thing, the 21, and then when you get to the 49th year, this is seven cycles of seven, seven weeks of seven. Then the 50th year is the year of jubilee. Now remember Jesus came, he said, I came to proclaim the year of jubilee, the year, the acceptable day of the Lord. That mean that's the year that you enter into rest. Now if you were an Israelite and you were in the 30th year of the cycle and you fell into death, in other words, you borrow money and you couldn't pay it, you will become a slave, but you have to be released on the 50th year because the 50th meant all of the debts were cancelled, ended. No more death. So if you had a land because all of the Jews inherited a a plot of land, you had a land. It always belongs to you and to your children to your children. After this, you could sell it, but whoever bought it had to figure out, okay, this is the 30th year. We got 20 years until Jubilee. Uh and they'll pay you for those 20 years because on the 50th year, they had to give you the land back. It's a jubilee. You enter into the rest. All of the maps are cancelled. See that is God sabatical clock. Now God comes in during the days of of Noah and he says I am going to bring judgment upon the earth and everything is going to be destroyed and I'm going to do it in 120 years. Now why would God select 120 years? Well, see the 120 years is spiritual and it applies to the church because there were 120 people on the upper room when the Holy Spirit fell upon them. So the 144 represents Israel physical the physical clock the spiritual clock is uh 120. Why 120? Well, God said I'm going to destroy the earth in 120 years. And 120 years exactly the judgment came. the you know in the 120th year the the the gates of the heaven were open the springs were open the water came in everybody was killed now Jesus comes in and says like it was in the days of Noah is going to be at the end time what does it mean well 120 time 50 which is a jubilee leads us exactly to 6,000 so you see what's happening over here like I've been teaching There's a spiritual clock. There's a physical clock. And boom, they're converging 144 generations later from Adam and 120 Jubilees from the day that Adam was created into to go into the garden and go into the rest are all converging at the end of chapter 6. And so here in chapter 7, now we're going to see the result. And the result is first 144,000 are sealed for for Israel. And then uh uh Revelation 7 9 and 10 says after these things I look and behold a great multitude which no one could number of all of the nations, the tribes, peoples and tongues that were standing before the throne and before the Lamb. They were clothed with white robe with palm branches in their hands. And they were crying out with a lou voice saying, "Salvation belongs to our God who sits on the throne and unto the lamb." This is the rapture. Notice that it is people from all nations. Now, notice that this it's not just all nations today because since this is the resurrection, this is all nations that ever existed. out of all tribes, wherever people were, out of all people and all tongues. That means that God is in the business of saving people and he saves people not just through Israel. Because if Israel uh uh failed to proclaim the gospel of God, then nobody got saved on the 1500 years that Israel was a nation. If the church has failed to proclaim the gospel like so so many places have pro uh failed to proclaim, then there will be people from tribes that were lost. But you see, Paul tells us in Romans chapter 1 that God has put within the creation and within the heart of man eternity to where men are convicted by the very creation itself. So out of every tribe, out of every tongue, out of every revelation, even when there was no gospel and and there's plenty of of of uh uh things has been said about that, Buddhist people that were praying to whatever and and had Jesus appear to them. All kinds of things that happened through the ages. And so what happens is this is when all of those people who die believing the word of God, the gospel, whether it was preached through a preacher, whether it was preached through the law or whether it was preached by nature or whether it's preached by your heart. Paul says this and as a matter of fact, let me go there. I want to make sure that I get this point. It's Romans chapter 1, the end of Romans chapter 1. Because I want to make sure that that we understand this is still Jesus, the one who does it is in Romans chapter 1 and uh and verses um let's begin with 17. He says, "For in it," talking about the gospel, he says, "I'm not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it's the power of God unto salvation." Verse 16 and 17 says, "For in this gospel that is a righteousness, the righteousness of God is revealed that goes from faith to faith. And as it is written, the just shall live by faith. For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men who suppress the truth and unrighteousness." And look at verse 19. Because what may be known of God is manifest in them. For God has shown it to them. Meaning that the gospel has been preached to every creature. Look at the next one. For since the creation of the world, see remember from every nation, from every tribe, from every tongue, since the creation of the world, God's invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and godhead, so that they are without excuse. And then he goes on to say that all of this is done through the sacrifice that Jesus gave. So that means that if you live somewhere way out there 3,000 years ago and never heard the gospel of Jesus Christ, yet the gospel was preached to you by the things that were great. God speaks to you. God can speak to you through a song. God can speak to you. I remember when I was young, the first time I got drunk, I walk home, our house was on top of the water and I couldn't go into the house because man, I was moving and I sit there on the edge of on the dock on the water and my head was just going around and then all of a sudden this bright meteorite, whatever it was, just went by. It was 2 3:00 in the morning. Our town hardly had any lights. So, was you could see every star in the Milky Way and the thing just flushed so big in the sky. And I I was just felt so little seeing that. And of course, I was drunk. So this voice spoke to me and it was Satan. He says, "This is what your life is going to be like. Nothing. Nobody's going to see it. Everybody's going to miss whatever it is. Why don't you just end it? It is not worth it." I was saying to myself, "I don't know who you're talking to. I listen to you. I ain't that drunk. I know that for sure." I said, "I I went in and got in the bed and puke all over the place, but man, I wasn't going to jump in the water. you know, I don't care what you say. So, there is a a spiritual battle that takes place even before you're saved. You know, even in the middle of sin, how many people have told you that in the middle of their worst sin, God comes in and speaks to them. So, this is what I say. So, we see then in in Revelation 7 that out of every uh uh tongue all of the nations uh uh are there. Now, look at Revelation 11. 7:11 and uh let me go there real quick and to show you the the same principle. Revelation chapter 7 11 it says and all of the angels stood around the throne and the elders and the four living creatures they all fell to their faces before the throne of God worshiping God saying amen. Amen means this is the end of of of this this concludes the church age. Amen. blessing and glory and wisdom, thanksgiving and honor and power and might. Sevenfold worship of God is given. Then in verse 13, one of the elders comes and asked John, who are this who are clothed with his white robes, and where did they come from? And he said, and I said to him, sir, you know, so he said to me, these are the one who come out of the great tribulation and have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the lamb. See this is the church age because they have made their they have washed it in the blood of the lamb. Now the word there and this is where so many people get confused. The word uh that came out of great tribulation for some reason uh uh uh Bible teachers of the end time. They're telling you that the great tribulation is seven years. And if you were here in lessons past, I explained to you the difference between tribulation and wrath. Tribulation is when God, I mean when people persecute you for your faith in God. The church, if you look at the letter to the churches, they all undergo great tribulation. And one of them says, "You will have tribulation from 10 days." That was the it is historical fact. 10 different emperors persecuted the church that was a span of 200 and some years. So the church have gone through tribulation and has always been going through tribulation. Jesus said in this world you will have tribulation but be of good cheer because I have overcome the world. Wrath is when God judges the earth for persecuting those who trust in his word. See that's the difference. The wrath of God is seven years. The tribulation endures a whole church age. And if you want to look it up, look at the word where it says these are they that came out of great tribulation. The word great is mega. The the word that we use is a Greek word to mean big, but it's plural meaning megas, many. These are they that came out of many tribulation, not one tribulation. And so this will help you to understand that the these are the church because they want to tell you that this happened in the middle of the tribulation. And to explain that they tell you that the 144,000 are evangelists that go out and evangelize the whole world. Nowhere in the Bible is that you see you have to make that up to explain why the rapture takes place in chapter 7 when you're thinking that chapter 4 is when he said come up here. That's that's when the rapture happened. That's if you don't understand the full twofold meaning of it. If you know that the first three chapters are physical and you know that the the that the next three chapters four, five and six are spiritual. They converge and when they converge that's when the rapture happens and then you don't have no problem explain it. That's why he says the these are they that came out of many mega tribulation. Now this possesses a problem. Go with me to Matthew 24 and let's look at verse 36 and 37. In Matthew 24:36 and 37, Jesus says, "But of that day and hour, no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, but my father only." Let me stop there. We're going to deal with with that scripture, some more of that scripture there. But did you know that that is what has made me cele where in the word of God have you ever read God telling you don't read my word you don't need it have you ever read that anywhere is nowhere the opposite right God's always want us to study study to show yourself approved here men have taken the scriptures and they say no one knows the day nor the hour so because of that this Sunday when preachers preach all over the United States probably less than one half of 1% of the messages will be on the book of revelation. Now what is the most important event in the Bible? The Bible is about Jesus and the two most important events is his first coming and his second coming. That's it. The first and the second coming of Jesus. That's the most important of all of the events. The first event already took place 2,000 years ago. The next big event is when he comes back. How many preachers are going to be preaching on the book of Revelation telling you to get ready because Jesus is about to come this Sunday? I bet not too many. And you know why? Oh, no one knows the day nor the hour. So, let's not bother. No one knows. No one knows the day nor the hour. So, let's not bother. So because of this, so many Christians and their teachers and their pastor ignore the book of Revelation and the greatest event that we need to get ready for, which is when Jesus comes back. They don't want to bother with it. But you see what I've been teaching is that the sky is going to recede. It's going to open. There's going to be fire and smoke and all kinds of things before the great day of the Lord. That's what the church was birthed in. Remember Peter quoted Joel Home Watch the Video Teaching

  • MINGLED WITH THE UNCLEAN | House of Faith Ministries (HoFM)

    MINGLED WITH THE UNCLEAN Written Teaching Pastor Marcos Marrero May 27, 2005 Objective Call the church to reject spiritual contamination and syncretistic traditions, embrace its “twice-called-out” identity (ecclesia), realign with the biblical foundation (apostles, prophets, teachers), and enter corporate repentance to close demonic doors, intercede for the land and children, and welcome the Holy Spirit’s guidance and power. Synopsis The message opens with a congregational prayer inviting Jesus’ lordship and freedom, then sets the theme from Psalm 106:34–39: Israel’s failure to purge idolatry led to mingling with the unclean and generational defilement. Applying this to today, the speaker explains that although believers are called out of “Egypt,” God must also remove Egypt from within us—fear, traditions, and compromises that tilt the church’s “wall” off-plumb. Citing Hosea 4:6 and Isaiah 1, the sermon warns that ignorance and inherited ritual can make worship empty and endanger future generations. From Revelation 17–18, it frames “Babylon” as a hidden religious system that spreads confusion and blood-guilt, urging God’s people to “come out of her” by rejecting contaminated practices and idols that gain access to families and communities. The church is exhorted to return to God’s order (1 Cor. 12:28)—apostles confronting strongholds, prophets declaring God’s word, teachers grounding believers—so that miracles and healings can follow. The service culminates in a corporate repentance and renunciation prayer: washing hands in Jesus’ blood, breaking agreements with demonic influences, closing spiritual doors, and submitting anew to the Holy Spirit to walk in purity, authority, and truth. Written and/or Transcribed Teaching from Video Let us all stand up for a second. Let's just agree in prayer. Okay? Praise God. Want everybody repeat with me. Including the young guys, the young girls, everybody stand up. Repeat with me. Say, I love Jesus. I love Jesus. Because he first loved me. Because he first. Come Lord Jesus now. Come Lord Jesus. And set me free. Set me free. Amen. Amen. Sit down. Praise God. You just gave permission to the Lord to come into your heart and to uh begin the healing and the freedom that that we need. Praise the Lord. Father, we give you thanks right now for ears to hear, Father God, for a heart to understand. I take authority right now, Father God, over every spirit of confusion, over every mind blocking spirit, Father God, over every religious spirit. And father, in the name of Jesus, I declare forth a word according to Ephesians 3:10 to make known to the principalities and power the manifold wisdom of the spirit of the living God. And Father, we declare this place right now to be under the direction of the Holy Spirit as we submit ourselves, Father God, uh with ears to hear and with a heart to understand, to receive what the Holy Spirit will say unto this church tonight, Father God. And we give you glory for binding down, Father God, and arresting every spirit that would come to interfere with the work of the Holy Spirit here tonight. In Jesus name, we give you glory, Lord. Amen. Amen. Praise God. Let's go to Psalm 106 verse 34-39. We're going to be talking about tonight about mingle with mingled with the unclean. And then we're going to be dealing with the uh condition of the church. And as you know, we are the church. We are the believers. And uh you remember that when God brought Israel out of Egypt, even though they were not under Pharaoh's control anymore because the Egyptian army was drowned on the sea, still Egypt was inside of them. When they came to the door of the promised land, they couldn't cross because they still live under fear and under bondage. And it took 40 years of cleansing before a new generation who did not have a slave mentality was able to rise up and come in into the promised land. So the church, the word for church, when you know the Bible says we're the church because we're the temple of the Holy Spirit. The word church in Greek is the word ecclesia. That's where we get the word ecclesiastic or ecclesia and the literal translation mean twice called out. It's important that we understand that the church means you're being twice called out. First you're called out of the world and then you're called into your promises. Just the fact that God calls you out of Egypt doesn't mean that you immediately go into your promises. You have to overcome fear. You have to overcome temptation. You have to overcome tradition. You have to overcome all of the things that are within you. When God gets you out of the world, he has to get the world out of you so you can inherit your promises. So that's what I want to deal with tonight. We want to deal with with what is keeping us, the church, the twice called out from entering into the promises of God. And in Psalm 106 verse 34, it says, "They," speaking about the children of Israel when they were brought into the promised land, "they did not destroy the peoples concerning whom the Lord had commanded them. But they mingled with the Gentiles and learned their works. They served their idols, which became a snare to them. They even sacrificed their sons and their daughters to demons and shed innocent blood, the blood of their sons and daughters, whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan. And the land was polluted with blood. Thus they were defiled by their own works and played the harlot by their own deeds. Now that is a very strong uh uh indictment that God gives to the children of Israel. Now how does that apply to us today? Remember Paul said that everything that happened in the Old Testament was written as examples for us. You know we we're playing history repeats itself. It's just like a cycle. Everything keeps playing over. So when they did not destroy the peoples, some people have a problem with God killing men and women and all people and killing children and stuff like that. You have to realize that God is a very merciful and patient God. But God is also all knowing. And when it comes to time that there's no hope for something, God deals with it. And we need to understand that when Abraham came out, God says, "I'm going to send your descendants into Egypt because the sins of the Amorites have not reached their peak yet." Meaning the people that live in the land of Canaan, there was still hope for them. So God would not wipe them out of the land for 400 years so that they would have hope. Now, when the children of Israel are coming into the land, God, a merciful, loving God, gives them a command. The command is, I want you to destroy the old people, the young people, the children, the men, the woman, their cattle. I want you to destroy everything. Now, why would God do that? How can a loving God order such a commandment? Okay, let's say that all of us here are in a boat. Okay? And that brother Rick here has an infectious disease that's going to kill him, but before it kills him, it'll kill everybody else. And we're in a boat and we can't get out. Rod already mot. We love him, brother. We love you. You're we have compassion. But guess what? You know what the definition of agape love is? Herb Wel used to say this all the time. Agape love means doing what is best for everybody involved. The definition of true love is when the actions that you take will do will have the the the most blessing or power for everybody involved. So here we have a nation that is totally and completely polluted with demons. Their men, their women, their children, their animals, their cattle, everything. And God says, "I'm bringing you into a land. And when you come to the land, you have to destroy everything that's living to get rid of all of the demons so that you can't come in." So here they come into the land. Oh well, you know what kind of a God will say, "Let's get rid of the man here that is going to kill the whole." Three generations later, they were all infected with the same demons, with the same pollution because they mingle with the people. They began to learn their traditions. And before they knew it, their children, which were the ones that were to inherit the promised land, were being offered to the same demonic demons that the people of the land were doing. Now, you see what we're saying here now for us today, now that I brought a little clarification to that, what would God say to us today if he would come and speak to his church? They did not destroy the peoples. We don't have people to destroy. What do we have to destroy? Old traditions. You see, let me give you a another vision. See if we can get it. Let's say that God is building a wall. He lays out the foundation and then every generation is a brick. Every generation is a brick and 2,000 years, however many generations, you complete the wall and the wall is supposed to meet the place on top. In other words, everything is completed. Now, Satan is different than us in the sense that Satan's been around a long time. He was in the Garden of Eden. He was there tempting David. He was there tempting Jesus and is here today. So, Satan knows how things work. So, every time God lays the foundation, he knows he cannot destroy the foundation. But he knows that he can mess with man. So, all he has to do is take that first layer of bricks and just tilt it a little where the eye cannot see it, where you cannot perceive it. And guess what? Three more generations come in. Three more bricks. The wall is line. Before you know it, you have a sour line of pizza. It's way over to this side. Okay, this is the condition of the nation of Israel. When Jesus came here, they have their synagogues. Here they have their teachers, their Pharisees, the teachers of the law. And Jesus says, "You guys messed it up. You put more credence in the laws that you guys have made than in the laws of God." So what did God do? He tore the wall down and he laid a foundation. Now Jesus is coming back, my friends. And if our wall is not straight, if our wall is not plump to the to the word of God, guess what? Our wall is going to get knocked down, too. Don't think that God plays papers when God reaches a certain time and if the wall is not straight, he's going to deal with it. Now what we need to do so that we don't go down without wall is we need to find out where the traditions because that's how Satan comes in. I heard on the men's retreat uh uh uh somebody told uh it was like a joke or like a story but it gives a good parable. This family got together and they, you know, every time they had a family gathering, they cook a ham and this ham they cut the end and the end and so they would cook the whole ham and the two ends separate, you know. And so the little kid asked, "Mommy, why do we cut the ham like this?" "Oh, you know, I don't know. Why don't you ask grandma?" So they asked grandma. She says, "Well, I don't know. Great grandma always did it, you know." So they went all the way to great grandma. Why? Well, their oven was too small and so in order to cook the ham, she had to cut the ends and put it in there. But everybody came in and it became a tradition. So every time they had a family gathering, they cut the ends of the ham even though they had a big old oven. But you see, that's how it is. All that Satan has to do is introduce some kind of a tradition that is demonic because you see the mingling. God is a holy God and God does not deal with contamination, you know, and we know that we're contaminated today because if we were not contaminated, we would be doing even greater works that Jesus did because Jesus said, "The works that I do, you will do also an even greater." So if the Holy Spirit is not moving through us, it's because there's got to be contamination. There's a mingling. Okay? And this is what we need to as individuals come in into the place where we say well I don't want to mingle with the people in our case I believe is with the traditions the old traditions and then it says they did not destroy the peoples the old traditions they mingle with and they learned their works a lot of the rituals that we have today are contaminated by demonic rituals we need to understand that a lot of liturgy the way that the church is set up today and and and I'll show you as we progress is got demonic things to it. Said they serve idols which became a snare to them and they even sacrificed their sons and their daughters to demons. Back in those days they offer their sons and daughters to demons. Today we give them access to our children by the things we bring into our homes. You see, it's the same thing. It's the same thing. Back in those days, they went down to a tree and they went to the statue of Mollik, which was a huge brass thing. He had arms like this, and they would put fire on the bottom. Then they would put oil there, and they threw their babies into the hands of this uh gruesome demonic thing, and they will burn their children. Today, we do it through the television. We put the little television up in there, and they're watching cartoons that are demonic. They're watching Scooby-Doo doing sorcery and they're watching all of this stuff. And so when our church children grow up, they want nothing to do with the Lord because they see hypocrisy. They see powerless religion and stuff like that. And so what we're doing is we are giving access to these demonic things to our children because of contamination because we're failing to see where the demonic things is coming from. So you see, we're no different. It just it it is a different setting. It says, "And they shed innocent blood, the bloods of their sons and daughters, and the land was polluted with blood." How many of our children, the childrens of Wington, have died on the street through violence? How much if we could just put spiritual goggles as if it were and drive around, how much blood has been shed on the street of our children? Many grandmothers who were praying for their children and their grandchildren, their children were there. Many of you have been touched by that. Women who have been raped on our streets, the blood that has been shed, all of the things is in the land. And so because of that, the land becomes polluted, you see. And so what pollution does is it allows the demons to roam. Uh we live right on the harbor. You can have a a shipload of those things come in and they unload in some kind of a thing and the first thing they look is is their blood, innocent blood been shed someplace, you know, like rats. They need trash like cockroaches. They need dark places to hide. They need a place that that makes them welcome. And they have plenty of places to hide over here. Why? Because our religion has been contaminated by tradition. And because of that, we have opened the door to demonic things that gives them access to our children. Then our children's blood is shed on the street and the land becomes defiled and then these demonic creatures roam around. Uh this is what Peter said. Devil roams around like a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour. He needs an open door. He needs shed glo. He needs contamination. Otherwise, he cannot touch you. Otherwise, he cannot come. Not a lot of fun tonight. What we're talking about, is it? This in reality is what the cause and effect of spiritual adultery is all about. Breaking trust with God. Now in Hosea chapter 4 verse 6. Hosea chapter 4 verse 6. I know that you read the first part of this in the past but I want to read a little more uh the complete verse. Hosea 4:6. God says, "My people, not the other people, my people are destroyed for lack of knowledge." Listen, there's a saying in the world that says, "What you don't know don't hurt you." That's the biggest lie of the world. What you do not know does hurt you. My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Because you have rejected knowledge, I will also reject you from being priests for me. What is the the duty of a priest? A priest is by definition a person who intercedes between God and man, between the spiritual and the physical. We become born again. And Jesus says, "I give you authority and whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven." In Revelation chapter 1 says, "And and we were made priests and kings unto him." We are priests. We are the mediator between God and between men. When man is committing sin, those of us who have been born again are the priests who intercede. And like Abraham said, "Father, don't destroy Sodom. Don't destroy Gomorrah. I I can I'm intercede for." And God says, "Okay, show me five righteous. Show me righteous and I will spare the land. Okay, so here God says because you have rejected knowledge because you stick your head in the sand and because you just go along building upon this wall that is tilting way out and you don't pay attention. I'm going to reject you from being my priest. And look what it says after that. And this is what I want you to connect. I will also forget your children. That's hurts, doesn't it? That hurts. You know what that means? God said, you're opening the door. You're opening the door. You're you're refusing knowledge. you know, uh, the Holy Spirit comes, you get saved, he talks to you about certain programs or certain, uh, movies or about certain rituals, uh, uh, things that we do. Well, well, Lord, you know, that's this old time stuff, you know, that's back in there when people were square, you know, uh, we're living in a modern society, you know, we're progressive. We we have an open mind. we just don't lean over too much, the brain will fall out. But we have an open mind, you know, that kind of stuff. And so God said, "Well, you're rejecting knowledge." Guess what? Number one, you're not going to intercede for the land. And if you're not interceding for the land, then you might as well forget about your children. The next generation is going to be twice as contaminated as you are. As a matter of fact, let's go to Isaiah chapter 1, vers 13. We're going to go to verse 13, but I want to see if I can Find this other one that the Lord just brought to my mind. Number five, Isaiah chapter 1 verse5. Let's look at that one again. God is through the prophet Isaiah confronting their their sin just like they're doing in Psalm. And God says, "Why should you be stricken again? You will revolt more and more. The whole head is sick and the whole heart faints from the sole of the foot even to the head. There is no soundness in it, but wounds and bruises and putrifying sores. They have not been closed or bound up or soothed with ointment. God says, "Why should I spank you? Why should I correct you? The more that I try to correct you, the more that you revolt against me. The more that I try the anointing of the Holy Spirit, the more that I try to bring the direction of the Holy Spirit to you, the more that you revolt against me." You know what happens when you take children and you say, "Well, I'm that that's it, kids. I'm I'm I'm divorcing you. Just go do your own thing. I want nothing to do with you guys." What happens? That generation is destroyed. They become law lawless. They become a gang. And that's what God is saying there confirming the same thing that we just read in Hosea where it says, "I will forget your children." God is saying to to these people, "Why should I even bother to strike you again or or or to try to correct you again?" He says your head is sick and so because of that your heart faint. He said from the sole of your feet to the head there is no soundness on it. This is talking about the religious system. You have to realize that these people were still offering sacrifices. These people went to church every Saturday. These people went to their service and they brought the sacrifices. As a matter of fact, look at verses 13, 14, and 15. He says, "Bring no more feudal sacrifices." Incense is an abomination to me. You know what? Incense was a type of prayer. Look at Revelation. It says, "The saints were offering incense and it was a prayer that rose up to God." God is saying, "Stop coming to church. Stop coming to church. Stop coming to the synagogue." He says, "You bring your sacrifices to me and I'm tire of it. I'm fed up with them." Man, you we don't want to hear God say that to us. Bring no more feudal sacrifices. You know what feudal feudal mean? Worthless. You know that's the spirit. The spirit of bial. Spirit of bal. The name bile appears in the Bible 17 times. 17 times is the works of the find it in Galatians chapter 5. There are 17 works of the flesh. And you know what's at the center of the 17 works of the flesh? selfc centeredness or selfish ambitions or selfish desire. Uh second Timothy 3 I think he says that in the last days men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God. So here we're not talking about bad things in the outside. It's talking about the heart. The heart is contaminated because we have mingled with the people. We have mingled with the custom. We have mingled with the things. And so because of that, God says, "Your incense is an abomination to me. Your prayer I don't hear. The new moon, the Sabbath, the callings of the assembly." That's verse 13. Isaiah chapter one. I cannot endure iniquity and the sacred meeting. I want you to hear this. Iniquity is inherited sin or traditional sin. God says, "I cannot endure iniquity and the sacred meeting." When you come to church with your old tradition, I'm fed up with it. He's telling the people of that day, I'm fed up with you following the same traditions, the same sacrifice when you're contaminated and have mingled with the world. Your iniquity, which is inherited sin, has been handed down from generation to generation, and it's just an offense to me. I cannot hear your prayers anymore. And when you come to me, it's worthless. It's beautiful. And I'm fed up with it. Because you see, God looks at the heart and when he sees us and you know what? This is where the church is heading. Peter says that the judgment of God will begin at home. This is what the church before God judges the world. He'll judge us. He'll purify us. He'll turn on the fire. He'll bring cleansing. He'll set up. And that's what the apostolic anointing that's coming. And we'll close with that. I don't want to get ahead of myself, but God will raise up apostles and prophets that will point out the finger to the church and tell her where this demonic things is at and and and tell them get rid of it. And if you read the letter in in in Revelations 3 when he's talking to the church in Leodysia, he she says, "I'm not a widow. I don't need you. I got money. I got silver. I got all the things." And the Lord says, "I counsel you to buy gold from me." Which symbolizes salvation. that has been tested in the fire because that's how God is going to test us. I heard that other that other thing about this uh three terrorists showed up with machine guns to a Sunday church meeting spray out the ceiling and then they said everybody who's a Christian here we're going to kill you unless you renounce Christ right now. So bunch of people said oh we don't want nothing to do with Christ. So they all left and there was just a few left. And then the guys turned to the pastor and and said, "Okay, we'll have church right now. We'll we'll have church right now. We got rid of the hypocrites. We got the people here that are really willing to die for the faith. We'll have church." They took their terrorist thing. They put their gun down say, "Let's worship God. The Lord might do that someday." You know, oh Lord have mercy. Uh Isaiah 1:14, your new moons and your appointed feast my soul hates. You know what the soul is? That that that's what you fill with, man. That's what you love with. That's where your passion resides. And God says, "My soul hates all of these things. They are a trouble to me. I am weary of bearing them." God says, "I am tired of putting up with it." Verse 15. When you spread out your hands, oh Lord, I love you. I will hide my eyes from you. Even though you make many prayers, I will not hear. Why? Why? Why? Why would the Lord do that? Why? Your hands are full of blood. Your hands are contaminated. Your hand has been mingled with demonic rituals and things. And because of that, with your hands, you're allowing the land to go to hell because you're contaminated with it instead of confronting it. It's hot up here, too, guys. Believe me, it's hot up here, too. I'm standing on on hot coals right now. The question, how could the how could the hands of the church today be so full with blood? Let's turn to Revelation 17:5. What is the root of our contamination? Where does God point the finger when it comes to us, the church, being contaminated? Well, fortunately, Revelation gives us a heads up of what God will do to this spirit of religion. Revelation 17:5, I'm sure uh it should be on, it's in my Bible, it's in bold letters. And it says, "And on her forehead a name was written, Mystery, Babylon the Great, the mother of harlots and of the abominations of the earth." Now, mystery means something that is hidden, something that you do not see. Okay? Babylon the great speaks about the original rebellion against the plan of God which was during the Tower of Babel. Babylon means confusion. The reason why they would call the the Europeans called uh the people that came from the north barbarians is because they spoke with a weird language. Babel Babylon uh even the priests of Santas are called Babala meaning they're speaking confusion. So this has always had to do with confusion. So Babylon is where God uh confronted Nimrod. Nimrod led the people into building a tower or a pyramid which you will find that everywhere. As you look at your dollar, it says in God we trust and there's a pyramid. They're not talking about the God of heaven. They're talking about the God of this world, the God of self, the God of wealth, the the God of all of this the things. And then you will see it that this thing has contaminated everything. And it's called the mother of harlots, meaning that every spirit of contamination that has ever entered any believer came through there. That's what a mother means. And of the abominations of all of the earth. Let me read uh I'll I'll read six all the way through nine. I want you to see how heavy the pollution of this spirit is. Revelation 17:6. I saw the woman drunk with the blood of the saints and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus. And when I saw her, I marvel with great amazement. Now, I want you to see that she is full of blood. And we just read in Isaiah where God says, "I do not hear your prayers because your hands are full of what?" Blood. So it's talking about spiritual contamination that has caused great death. Because when we fail to guard the door, when we fail to be priests over the land, when we fail to be priests over the domain that God has given us, what happens is we open the door to demons that come in to steal and to kill and to destroy. And this thing shed blood, the blood of our children, the blood of our brothers, the blood of our sisters. And when this blood contaminates the land, then that blood is in our hands because we have failed. And thank God that there is a remission of sins that we can in Isaiah chapter one, if you read a few verses later, he says, "And though your sins may be as red as scarlet, they will be as white as wool." So there there is deliverance, but it requires knowledge. Uh Proverbs 11:19, it is through knowledge that the just is delivered. So then verse seven, but the angel said to me, "Why do you marvel? I will tell you the mystery of the woman and of the beast that carries her, which has the seven heads and the sand horn. The head that you saw was and is, and will ascend out to the bottomless pit, and go to pdition. And those who dwell on the earth will marvel, whose names are not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world." Then they see the beast. when they see the beast that was and is not and yet is. And here's verse nine. What I want you to see, this is where the root of the contamination of all of the churches come from. Here is the mind which has wisdom. Meaning you have to have it through revelation. The seven heads are seven mountains on which the woman sits. This woman is a religious system that originates all the way back to Babylon. Babylon when Nimrod get led a rebellion against God. Nimrod is said that he was a mighty hunter before the Lord. He was a hunter of souls. Nimrod is the one that opened the door. Every demon that is in the earth today came to the door that Nimrod open. That's what the pyramid. That's what the tower was. The tower is something to where you open a spiritual door. You see, demons cannot cross from their second heaven, from the state of darkness. They cannot cross into this earth because man has authority over the earth. So man has to open the door. That is what sacrifices are. When you offer a blood sacrifice to God, you open the door for God to pour out blessings on you. Bible tells us that uh Noah was told to take two of every animal except for the clean animals that were used for sacrifices to take seven. And it says that when Noah came and he offered these clean animals to God that God smelled the sacrifice and because of that God opened the door from heaven and pour out blessing. He blessed no one. He blessed his children. God's blessing can only come when men opens the door. That's what prayer is. Prayer ascends to heaven like incense. God forgive me of all of my sins. And that prayer opens up the door. And then God sends forgiveness. God sends healing. God sends restoration. But in the same way, when you open the door to demonic things, the selfish nature, that's what Cain was. When Cain brought his sacrifice, it wasn't a sacrifice of blood. It was a sacrifice of selfishness. The ground had been cursed. And he brought a fruit of the ground. He brought an offering of something that was cursed. And God will not accept our curse offerings. The only way that we can go to heaven now is through the blood of Jesus. Okay? So then this um woman, this religious system that contaminates everybody sits on seven mountains on which a woman sits. Now I want you to take your hand out and I just um type seven hills on it and then the first page you have there you will see that Rome right now you can go there and the hills are not even distinguishable because Rome Rome is one of the longest continuously inhabited cities have been inhabited probably for the last 4,000 years 5,000 years. uh they even have names for the seals in early Rome. You can see the the seven names uh there and then of later Rome you can see the names where where they were there. So Rome was the world empire of the day when John was writing that. And he says this woman, this religious system which is called mystery of Babylon, it is residing on a city that has seven hills. And as a matter of fact, you you can read it. You can research this in the internet. Back in those days, they didn't have to say you were from Rome. They asked you where are you from the seven hills? And that automatically everybody knew where you were from. You were from Rome. I printed another I printed this one first, the second one on your page. It has the name on red there. And then I printed this one because it had a little bit more information. But there's a tons and tons of uh writings. And these are not religious writing. This is just secular writings, historical writings about Rome being the place where these uh seven hills were. Now why is that you say important to us? Well the third page that you got which should be this one. This is a copy of a page from uh Reverend Alexander Hiselop. This is a man that hund and some years ago uh wrote a book called the two Babylons. And he trace how the Catholic Church is not a religious organization that truly worships Jesus. That everything upon their worship is demonic. It is demonic. It is contaminated. And you have to remember that we the Protestant came out of her. This is what we need to learn. We came out of her. Our church came out of it. Now, what happens is, before I get into that, I don't know if I'll be able to read it. My contacts are all [ __ ] up. It's so hot up here. But what happens is God brought the church. He built it on the foundation of the apostles. As a matter of fact, let's get the scripture there and then we'll we'll deal with this. Go to um Ephesians 2:20. talks about the church having been built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets. Jesus Christ himself being the chief cornerstone. The church was built on the foundation of the prophets and on the foundations of the apostles. Meaning Jesus Christ selected 12 disciples. Then he turned these 12 disciples into apostles. He being the chief cornerstone means trained them for three years. And then these apostles then came in and began to build the churches. Prophets moved through them. They they they taught the word of God. Then they found the churches and they put pastors upon the churches. And then the disciples trained more disciples. And for years and years and years it went even though the church was persecuted for 300 and some years. The church could not be destroyed. It had a solid foundation of nothing but the truth of God. Okay. The devil after 325 years of trying figure he couldn't destroy the church. So he said well if we can destroy it let's join it. And you see this is if you read in the letters, if you see in the letters, one of the letters to Revelation, the uh the sin of Balac uh Balam and Bailo when Balam who was a prophet of God, Bailac wanted to buy him to curse the children of Israel and every time he went to speak a curse over them, blessings came out. And so finally, Balam said, "Hey, I'll teach you how to curse these people, how to get to these people. You just can't speak words against them because God is protecting them. You got to mingle with them. You got to contaminate them. If you read Revelation chapter 2, who taught Balam, who taught uh uh uh Bailac how to contaminate the children of Israel? So this is the process that was put in place. This constant thing guy who was a sun worshipper all the day to the day I claims to be converted as a Christian. He was a Roman emperor. So he says, "Everybody now in my kingdom, the Roman kingdom has to worship Jesus." And so all of these pagan idola Home Watch the Video Teaching

  • THE GIFT OF LIFE | House of Faith Ministries (HoFM)

    THE GIFT OF LIFE Written Teaching Minister Lisa Kane June 26, 2022 Objective The objective of this message is to reveal the divine origin and meaning of life as a gift from God, examining how sin altered the natural order of creation and introduced aging, death, and brokenness into the world. It aims to connect the Genesis account with the New Testament teaching on eternal life through Christ, encouraging believers to repent, walk with God, and embrace His gift of life both now and in eternity. Synopsis In this teaching, Lisa Kane explores the biblical truth that life itself is God’s gift, rooted in His original creation. Opening with Romans 6:23, she contrasts the wages of sin—death—with God’s gift of eternal life through Jesus Christ. Drawing from Genesis, Lisa explains how the patriarchs experienced longevity before sin corrupted creation, noting that aging began only after the fall when Adam and Eve disobeyed God. She walks through the progression of sin in humanity: the disobedience of Eve, Cain’s murder of Abel, and Lamech’s violence, showing how sin accelerated corruption in the earth. Historical events such as the flood, the Tower of Babel, and the division of the continents are tied to the destructive weight of sin. Yet, amid judgment, God preserved the righteous, such as Noah, as examples of His sustaining gift of life. Lisa emphasizes that while sin shortens lifespans and accelerates aging, repentance and relationship with God bring renewal, blessing, and spiritual vitality. She draws parallels to today’s society, pointing out the moral decay that mirrors the wickedness of ancient times. The message culminates with the hope of eternal life through Christ (John 3:15–17), reminding listeners that true life is only found in Him. Ultimately, “The Gift of Life” calls believers to turn away from sin, embrace God’s righteousness, and live with the eternal perspective of salvation, knowing that Jesus has redeemed humanity from the curse of death. Written and/or Transcribed Teaching from Video Hello and welcome to the House of Faith Ministries. I'm Lisa Kane and I'm recording this on Sunday, June 26, 2022. This message is called the gift of life. Let's open up in a word of prayer. Father God, we bless this message and we thank you for your blessing on it. Let us receive, apply it to our lives, believe it, walk it, live it, and share it with others. Father God, we thank you. We thank you for your word, your nourishment for us. spiritually. We thank you in the glorious name of Jesus. Amen. Amen. Let's open up in our opening scripture here. We're going to be looking at Romans 6:23. For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. Okay. So, I'm going to be talking about aging today, which is kind of an unusual topic, but I've done a lot of in-depth studies and teachings on Genesis. I did a a study on evolution. You can go look at my past messages on there showing you proof that Genesis is real. And this is a factual text, uh, a historical factual text. This is not storyland. These are not stories. These are real events that took place. So, I'm going to address the aging of the patriarchs during the Genesis time and why sin plays a role in it and why we age differently today than we did back then. So, it's going to be one of those interesting messages here that we're going to be talking about. So, as you can see here, Paul is the one that really kind of puts it together in the New Testament when he says the wages of sin is death. What is sin? Sin is dying. So, let's take a look at what happened in Genesis and what caused us to start aging. Okay? Uh because I'm going to show you when it wasn't aging and then I'm going to show you when it started aging and what happened. And I do apologize, you're going to hear my fans and air conditioner running. Uh it is currently 99 degrees here. I live in the desert here in Southern California. And uh the high I think it's supposed to be 104, but if it's 99 right now and it's 11:41, I guess it's going to be a little hotter, but no problem. So, sorry for the sound quality, but that's the way it's going to be today. So, let's go to our next scripture here in Genesis. So, in Genesis 2:19-20, we're going to see something very interesting here. Out of the ground, the Lord God formed every beast of the field and every bird of the air and brought them to Adam to see what he would call them. And whatever Adam called each living creature, that was its name. So Adam gave names to all cattle, to the birds of the air, and to every beast of the field. But for Adam, there was not found a helper comparable to him. Okay? So it's a very interesting scripture. Now, keep in mind, I've already done an in-depth study on Genesis, chapters 1, 2, 3, and four. You're more than welcome to go check all that out. So chapter one is a planning phase. It's like creating the blueprints for the world. So in in essence, you can look at it as God assembling all the materials that he needs for the world that he was making. So in essence, he's in his workshop. He's got his workbench. He's got a bowl here filled with water. That's going to be the ocean. A bowl here filled with earth. That's going to be the earth. So it's a planning phase. And when you read Genesis 2:1, you'll see the application in movement like the earth is now operating and and in motion and God is putting in all the elements as it functions more very clear when you look at it from that perspective. That's what Genesis 1 and 2 is talking about. So here and in Genesis 1, you know, he talks about forming man out of earth uh and forming warm man in his image. So you hear him talk about that, but you don't see him applied yet. So here in chapter 2, he's applied, but notice Eve is not there because God talks about he needs a helper comparable to him. So let's go look at that that last part of the scripture there. But for Adam, there was not found a helper comparable to him. So Eve is not in the picture yet. So Adam is naming all these animals. Adam and God are bonding. They're having they're relating to one another. They're getting to know one another. God is getting to know his beloved because this is his offspring. In his image were made. And that is incredible because you know God did something. You guys have no idea. You got to really think this through. We are such a complex being that um we can't create that out of anything else we try. Look at my study on evolution. You will see that we cannot do that. So we have offspring and then the gift of life, the breath of life goes into the newborn and then becomes a person in his image. So this is it's very interesting how God created all of this. Okay. So, but there's something interesting here. There's a mystery here. So, he's naming all these animals. Now, you have to understand that every animal that God has ever created was alive at this time. There was no death because there's no sin. Remember, the wages of sin is death. Nobody's died. No animal has died. There's a interesting mystery here. So, Adam being the only human being on the planet in his little world here, God is bringing all these animals. How long did it take Adam to name all the animals when every one of them existed? Now, granted, he's only naming, let's see here, um the beast of the field and the bird of the air, all the cattle and uh so birds, cattle, beast of the field. So that's basically what he was naming. But you're talking dinosaurs, you're talking dogs, cows, horses, zebras, you know, or maybe a zebra came later because it is kind of in the horse kind, if you will. So he's naming kinds. And a kind is its own species, if you will. So he doesn't name poodles and German shepherds. He names a dog. So male and female dog, male and female elephant, male and female giraffe. These are all animals in their own kind. So, there's a lot of them, just not as many as you think. But how long do you think it took him to do that? Days, weeks, months, years, and sin hasn't happened. The sun goes up, the sun comes down. In fact, it doesn't even mention that Adam sleeps. Did he need to sleep? You got to wonder about how the world was then. So, you're looking at this and you're thinking, "Okay, uh, he named him. Don't know how long that took." So, he's not aging because there's no sin in the land. So, if you know, one way to think of it is when the morning came and if Adam did go to sleep and he woke up, he woke up the same person he was the day before. He did not age. He did not uh grow. He is the same the yesterday, that day, and the next day until sin came. Interesting concept, right? So, let's look at what happened when sin came because you're now seeing the earth wasn't aging. You're seeing animals weren't dying. You know that there is no rain on the earth because when we talk about the flood, you're going to see that there was no rain at that time up until the flood. So this is fascinating. The world then was different. God made the world perfect, whole, complete. This is the place for us to be and where we want to be today really. But we live in sin now. And sin changed everything. So let's look at what happened when sin entered the world. So, we're now in Genesis 3:es 4-5. Then the serpent said to the woman, "You will not surely die. For God knows that in the day you eat of it, your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil." The devil lied to Eve. Okay, I'm not going to give you every scripture here. I want you to go and study it for yourself. Look at what happened here. Look at the scene between Adam and Eve and what happened when the serpent came in. So God placed Eve in the garden and then God left. He gave them time for their little honeymoon. So the serpent comes along and he's standing there by that tree of knowledge that God told him not to eat of. And he's convincing Eve, you're not going to die. you're going to be like God. And she's tempted. Now, I want you to realize something. Adam is sitting right next to her. So, she takes the fruit. She takes a bite. He hands it to him. He takes a bite, too. Now, I want you to think about this for a moment because when you really think this through, there is some powerful elements going on here. What if Adam in his conversations with God while naming the animals knew what was going to happen? I would imagine that Adam had a lot of questions. We're curious creatures. We want to know what's going on. So when Eve did that, Adam was in La La Land. He's in his honeymoon. He's as happy as a clam. He's probably not thinking thoroughly through. But when she goes to grab the fruit, either he didn't react fast enough to tell her, "No, no, no, don't do it." Or the fact that he didn't say anything, wonder, I have to wonder. Did already God tell him what was going to happen? And he let it happen. And he could have, he had a choice not to take that bite, but she's his wife. They were a whole the two together. They're not uh they're a half now because they're married. So he's half, she's half, and that's the way that works. So he took that by two. But I want you to see when you go look at those curses because they were cursed. The serpent was cursed, the e Eve was cursed, woman was cursed, and then the earth was cursed, not Adam. Adam didn't sin. You got to understand that. So this is very very interesting because now all of a sudden things look a little bit different when you look at this transaction that takes place. Now something did happen you know and if you take a look at some scientists today and ancient aliens even they are acknowledging this is that they think it's an evolution and that somewhere along the lines something came along and changed the concept of mankind from you know being cavemen to today but it this change did take place. Eve and Adam knew they were naked. They knew. So they actually had a change, a physical change in the mental sense. They became aware that they are naked beings and that they sinned and they have shame. Now this was a concept that didn't come in until that very very moment. Now the devil did lie because he said you won't die. Well hold on a second. Let's look at the physical evidence here. Remember this is factual historical evidence. Genesis 5:5. So all the days that Adam lived were 930 years and he died. Wait a second. Okay. So he did die. Eve eventually died too. I It doesn't document her age when she died. So he lived 930 years. That's a long time. He didn't sin. He wasn't living in sin. But the moment they took that fruit and they ate of it, that was day one. and sin aging began. But prior to that moment, there was no aging on the earth. Okay. Now, I want to show you the first document. Well, the second document of sin. Eve is the first document. Here's the second document of sin in Genesis. Watch this. Genesis 4:8. Now Cain talked with Abel his brother and it came to pass when they were in the field that Cain rose up against Abel his brother and killed him. Now you can go again read the story the event. It's not a story the event in total to see what was going on between Cain and Abel. Cain got pretty jealous and bitter because God rejected his offering and he accepted Cain's and so he got mad at him and he killed him and he let it bubble up. Well, that's sin number two documented in Genesis. Now, that's very interesting because what's going on here is if Adam lives 930 years and now the earth is starting to get populated, death comes in the picture quicker. We've got a murder that takes place. Now, let's continue on. Now all the patriarchs that lived during that time 10 generations they lived 800 900 plus years and these are not um uh uh these are true years 365 days a year. This is not uh an analogy. This is these are actual years. The the root word in Genesis applies this as a year. So please understand again this is factual evidence and sin changed the element of our aging. This is why evolution can't happen. This is another reason why evolution can't happen. They they're still looking at it as we've just evolved. No, no, no. There was an actual change in mankind that took place and it happened at the moment that Adam and Eve partake of the fruit that they weren't supposed to. So let's go look at the next documented sin again. Here we are at another murder. Genesis 4:23. Then Lamech said to his wives, Ada Azilla, hear my voice. Wives of Lamech, listen to my speech for I've killed a man for wounding me, even a young man for hurting me. Now he he's acknowledging he killed this guy and it sounds like he did it out of revenge for hurting him and not giving forgiveness. So you've got another documented sin here. Now the world is populating. So you've got murder taking place. So animals have got to be dying in this time frame because God had killed an animal to clothe Adam and Eve. So now they're killing animals to eat. So they're eating of the earth and they're eating of the meat. So this is now the new earth that is in play and things are happening rapidly. Eve is having children and as she's having children, her great great grandchildren are having children at the same time she's having children. So, who knows how many kids she ended up having because it does not document it. But it had to be a lot boys and girls and then they started mating as they became adults. 930 years is a long time. So, just talking from Adam's age perspective. So, up to the flood, you're talking about 1500 years. So this is very very interesting that you're seeing something here totally different of the way the world was at that time because now God says something different. Okay? So you've got the documented sin of Eve, the documented sin of Cain, and the documented sin of Lamech. But the world is populating. Look what God says next about sin. Genesis 6:5. Then the Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth and that every intent of his of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. Oh now if you really want to know what this is implying and this is actually fascinating what he says here is uh the book of Jasher and the book of Enoch and it could be just one or the other and I'm don't remember off the top of my head but you can go look those up. They may not be part of the Bible, but they have historical records that align with the Bible. So, they're very good information to have. Uh, but they talk about the neighborhood and what it was like. And people were living in such a way that they were trying to well, people didn't sleep or did very little sleep because they were guarding their home because they knew their neighbor was after their goods or even their lives. So, it was a, you know, I got to protect myself because I know that neighbor is creepy and he's coming after me if I let my guard down. That's the idea of how that was. Uh, and of course, it was also the idea of what can I make myself feel good with? Well, if I kill you, I'll feel good. it. So that mentality was going on. And you can see that mentality creeping into society today. I mean, look at what the the women who are protesting about having a pro-choice. They're walking around with blood between their legs and baby dolls between their legs and hitting them. And it's like, you just murdered a baby. And in their mind, no, I have the right to do that. And it's like, whoa, whoa. You don't have the right to murder someone. You have the right to not get into bed with unprotected sex, but you don't have the right to murder a baby. It's got blood. The blood of life. You can't live without blood flowing through your veins. And this is why they're showing you the blood all over themselves. We want to remove that life. That's the mentality. That's the demonic activity behind all of this. So, you've got this concept that comes into the time of Noah and the flood. Now, we all know in science that they did prove the flood took place. So, let's look at what the Bible says about the flood because I really want to apply some scriptures here about it. So, I don't want you just to assume what the story is. At the same time, I do want you to go look at the scriptures and learn of them and study them for yourselves because you'll get more out of it from when you read it. versus somebody interpreting it for you. Amen. Genesis 7:10 through11. It came to pass after seven days that the waters of the flood of of the flood were on the earth. In the 600th year of Noah's life, the patriarchs were living long lives. There was now Noah like Lot was living in a time where there was sin around him, but he was not sinning. He was considered a righteous man is what God called him. And notice he's already 600 years old when the flood is coming. So here in the 600 year of Noah's life in the second month, the 17th day of the month, on that day all the fountains of the great deep were broken up and the windows of heaven were open and the rain was on the earth 40 days and 40 nights. Now I want you to see something here. That is what this message is all about. every person living in sin and the righteous that were not going to make it through the flood which was Methuselah. He was the last uh patriarch and righteous man there. He died. His name actually meant that when he died this flood was coming that um all of them had their lives shortened because they lived in sin. They did not have the right to live past the 600, 700, 800, 900 year because they lived in sin. Oh, sin and aging are they go hand in hand. And so now I want you to see how long Noah actually lived. And this was even after the flood. Again, though, they're repopulating the earth. So there's not a lot of people. They are sinning. We're going to get to that in a minute. And you're going to see the dynamics change here. and shift because God had to make some big changes at this moment. But look how long Noah lived. Says here in Genesis 9:29, so all the days of Noah were 950 years and he died. He outlived Adam and he went through the flood. Oh hallelujah. So God takes righteous people and he will let you live. You have the blessing of life to live. Amen. That is the gift of life from God. God is the gift of life. And when you spend time with God, you have life. Oh, this message is awesome. And I really want you to grab it. Now, again, I'm not going to go into all the scriptures after the flood, but you can go and look at this. Genesis, the book of Jasher, the book of Jasher and Genesis are very similar books. Um, Jasher goes into a little more detail. You'll find out about Abraham as a young man where you don't see that in Genesis. So, it's very interesting how Abraham discovers who God is. It's a really fascinating story. You might want to get in there and take it out. Take a look at it. So, what happens is after the flood takes place, Noah and his family repopulate the earth. So, children are having children, they're marrying, they're having children. So, uh Noah's sons are having children and then their children children are all marrying. And anyways, so about the fourth, third to fifth generation, somewhere's right around there was a guy named Nimrod. And uh now God had told mankind, go populate the earth, be fruitful and multiply. So go out. That's what he told them to do. They stayed. And not only did they stay, they followed this guy Nimrod and decided to build a tower because Nimrod had it in his mind. I'm going to get as tall as God so I can kick his butt. I'm going tell you right now, I don't know what this man was thinking, but it he was way off the mark because God's looking going, "Yeah, really? You're gonna do that? Go for it. Let's see how far you get." So something happens here because I I want you to understand something. So God destroys the earth. He didn't end mankind. He let Noah and his family survive knowing full well what mankind was going to do again. They've already done it once. They're going to do it again. But you know what God was thinking? And I'm pretty confident of this. may not be biblical scripture, but I'm pretty confident of this. He knew that Lisa and any other righteous person living today was going to call on him and believe. He already said though scripturally that he was going to send his son to redeem us. He already had that in the plan. He knew what he was doing. He was going into that plan. So Jesus was coming. So he allowed this to happen and he allowed it to continue on because he knew about those of us still who hadn't been born yet who would believe. And he says they're going to love me and I want to give them that chance. Incredible. I just love the Lord so much. So the tower of babel takes place a great earthquake happens at this time and the tower of babel and the earthquake are documented in Genesis. You will see uh there's more information in the book of Jasher but look at this very interesting scripture and I got to show this to you because I want you to understand how the world was then and how it is now. which is why science is struggling with this. Okay, so look at this interesting scripture out of the blue. Genesis 10:25. To Eber were born two sons. The name of one was Palele. For in his days the earth was divided and his brother's name was Jckton. In his days the earth was divided. Wait, all the continents weren't all one or weren't separate pieces? That's interesting. So basically what he's saying here is that after the Tower of Babel and that earthquake takes place, this kid pale is born and by the way that's a root root word and it means shaking and rushing of water coming up. Okay. So basically when this great earthquake happened, by the way, Nimrod documents the statement at that time because he survived the earthquake and he said, "Oh, God saved me from my enemies." I hope he called on God to believe at the end, but I don't think he did. But anyways, whatever the case was, this guy survives. He documents that the earth did have a great shaking at this time and that's when the continents pulled apart. So let's understand what happened here. Sin sin caused the flood. You know God brought in the flood. Now God made the earth perfect. So all the earth was one piece of land. And you know what? Most scientists actually agree with that. They just think it was billions of years ago. But they all agree that Panga, which is all the contents put together, all existed as one in the past. And that is actually a true statement. They did exist as one. It's when Paleleg was born, when that great earthquake happened, that's when they broke. And this was after the flood. And this was after the Tower of Babel. So, and in fact, they have this also documented. This is where all the cultures came into be because when the Tower of Babel was broken, language was broken. And so you had all these people split apart. So you had Asians over here, Hispanics over here, Indians over here, uh, Europeans over here. So you had all of these different cultures. And when the land broke apart, those cultures were on their own piece of land. And now all of a sudden, you've got cultures in existence, different culture, and they all came into existence at the same time. And in fact, they all talk about the flood, every single one of them. And they all talk about eight people surviving. It's a a factual event that took place and it's because of sin. So sin when the water God broke the fountains of the deep and they became weak. So when mankind started sinning again and going building this tower following this guy and not spreading out and populating the earth being fruitful multiplying no instead God says okay this is weak. I'm going to break I'm going to cause a shaking. And he shook the ground and it was the weight of sin that broke it further. And and if you take a look, you drive through a mountain, look at the mountains and how everything it's broken. Everything is broken. I mean, it's beautiful. We live in it today. We live in this brokenness. And in fact that's when age started slowing uh excuse me increasing in speed meaning they got they died at a younger age. So this is when all of this change took place because now sin is prominent in the world. It is a major factor in the world. People are living in sin and they're born in it and they just go with it. And it took the redemption of Jesus Christ to come to change that and to give us the element of that. So now and in fact just kind of show you how God is still talking about this. This is very very important. I want you to understand you do not have the gift of life if you're living in sin. He will end your life prematurely. Look what he did here to Sodom and Gomorrah. Genesis 19:24-25. Then the Lord rained brimstone and fire on Sodom and Gomorrah from the Lord out of the heavens. And so he overthrew those cities, all the plain, all the inhabitants of the cities, and what grew on the ground. He said, "You're going to live in sin. This is what I'm going to do to you." And sin is pleasurable. You know, people get hooked up to, but you got to break free from it and make a stand and say, "God, I choose you." And and I will tell you right now, you keep looking back at sin, you got a problem. Lot's wife here, go back, read these scriptures. She she desired it so much and was missing it that, you know, she turned into a pillar of salt. She just dried up. How many people do you look at today that are dried up, been on drugs, had a rough life really, and they could be 50 years old, but they look like they're 70. I'm telling you, sin and age go right hand in hand. And if you there is no magical bottle of illusion that you can take that's going to help you look younger or feel younger on the inside. You know, you've got to repent and you got to spend time with God because when you spend time with God, there's no sin there and that means the aging slows. We're still living in an earth surrounded by sin. Lot didn't live that long either, but you know, he was able to live past the destruction of those two cities. In fact, God refused to destroy those two cities until Lot was removed. And read the conversation that God had with Abraham. Abraham's like, "Is it 50 people, 30 people, 20 righteous people living in the city? Would you destroy it?" He said, "No, all the way to 10 people." Meaning, there was less than 10 people in the city that was righteous. And the less than 10, God says, "I'm taking you out." Which was Lot, his wife, and two daughters. And uh the wife didn't make it. So sin is what does this to you? What destroys things? Our government looks like they're trying to destroy the it's sin. They're living in sin. They're accepting sin. Those that approach choice are accepting sin. When living as a homosexual is sin because God calls it, you're not being fruitful and multiply. You cannot be fruitful man on man or woman on woman. So, you're sinning. Lying is sinning. Murder is sinning. You want to sin? Hey, go for it. I'm just telling you, your life will be cut short. That's one of the consequences. And two, not only will you be aging faster, but you're missing out on the blessings that God has for you here and now. And just because we have eternity with him, your eternity can begin now. And no matter what hell is going on out here, you're still at peace and have a joy within you. And you get to look young and free. And people people come up to me all the time and say, "I can't believe you have grandchildren." Yeah, I have grandchildren. Yes, I do. I I I'm grateful that I look as young as I am, but I know that I'm aging. I know I live in sin, but I repented because Jesus came back and did something for us. Look at this. John 3:15 through17. that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that whoever believes in him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send his son into the world to condemn the world but that through the world through him might be saved. He wants to save you on top of it all. He wants to save you. And you know, I I want you guys to realize that we're coming into a very serious time or well, we're in a serious time. Uh Matthew 24, Luke 21, Mark 13 are being fulfilled right in front of us. And it does talk about this generation shall not pass away. So interesting enough how this is fulfilling. Now we are on the tail end of things. So, Genesis is the beginning. It's what started it. And all of this time, we've been living in sin because that's how things change. That's how things were moved. So, now something is getting revealed. And I want you to see what's coming because you've got to be able to repent and know that you're repenting for something that's better. Okay? And we don't have better here on this earth because this earth is sin. Okay? Understand that. Look at what Paul says here in 2 Thessalonians 2:8-12. And then the lawless lawless one will be revealed whom the Lord will consume with the breath of his mouth and destroy with the brightness of his coming. The coming of the lawless one is according to the working of Satan with all power signs and lying wonders and with all unrighteous deception among those who perish because they did not receive the love of the truth that they might be saved. And for this reason God will send them strong delusion that they should believe the lie that they all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but have pleasure in unrighteousness. That's what's happening now. People have this delusion. Talking about women with pro-choice. They have a delusion. Look at this. He says, "With all unrighteous deception among those who perish, you are dying with unrighteousness." And as long as you're doing that, you did not receive the love of the truth that you might be saved. When you reject Jesus, you reject God, you live in unrighteousness, you live in sin, your life is cut short. You do not have the gift of life which is God. God is the gift of life. Very first scripture that I read. Understand what's happening here. And if you take a look at that scripture, go back to the beginning part of it. He says, "Look what the the Lord's going to do to this uh individual here. Look at this. This lawless one. He's going to consume with the breath of his mouth and destroy with the brightness of his coming. This guy's destined for destruction. Don't follow him. You need to repent. You need to repent. Remember what Romans 10:9 says 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. You have to repent. And I'm telling you, if you really want to look younger, so even though we don't live the lifespans of what it was like prior to sin being a a dominant element here in the earth today, we still can look young in our age. Amen. And that means spending time with God. That means repenting. That means giving him the glory, living for him. And I'm going to tell you right now, eternity with God is what you want. You do not want to be left here during this strong after this strong delusion is gone that you know this generation is not going to pass away. God takes people. Look at all my previous messages. He did the rapture. He's he took Enoch. He took Elijah. He's going to take the righteous next. That's what's coming. So all this stuff is being fulfilled and that's what's coming. And then you don't want to be left here. being left here is I'll give you just a sample. The first five months you cannot die and there's going to be these horselike scorpion things coming to sting you and you're thinking God is a loving God. When you reject him, he's he's got feelings. He got rejected. So, he's trying to get your attention to wake you up. You're going to be stuck here going through that pain and suffering and then you're going to have to die for him. That's even worse. go in the rapture. It's just so much easier, better. But you got to be righteous. That means you got to repent and you got to live for God. Romans 10:9, confess. Go to God. And if you're angry with him, you know what? It's okay to be angry with God. You know, he's a big guy. He can't handle it. But go to him and talk to him about it. Tell him you're upset. Tell him you, you know, love should be love. Love is love. God. Let him talk to you back though. You need to open up the Bible and find out what he says and get an understanding of it so that your heart and mind lines up with God and you have the established blessings and promises that are written in the word of God. The rapture being one of them. Amen. All right, let's close in a word of prayer. Father God, we bless this message and we thank you for your blessing on it.

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