Say this prayer out loud: Mighty Heavenly Father, I lift up the scientific and education communities around the world to Your throne room and I forgive them of their iniquities, the sins they have committed, the curses against them, the curses spoken from them, and the sins of the land they walk on; and I ask You heavenly Father to forgive as them well per Matthew 6:14 KJV “14 For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you:” Demons, loose the scientific and education communities 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 scientific and education communities 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 scientific and education communities 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 scientific and education communities 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 scientific and education communities 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 in the scientific and education communities to forgive and reconcile the nation 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 scientific and education communities 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 also pray that past generations deceived by lies would be restored to the truth going forward. 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 scientific and education communities around the world. I pray that those who work in science and education will share truth and fact from the Bible. That previous generations who were taught lies will be restored with truth in the Name of Jesus, the Son of the living God. 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 SCIENTIFIC & EDUCATION PRAY FOR SCIENTIFIC & EDUCATION PRAY FOR SCIENTIFIC & EDUCATION Say this prayer out loud: Mighty Heavenly Father, I lift up the scientific and education communities around the world to Your throne room and I forgive them of their iniquities, the sins they have committed, the curses against them, the curses spoken from them, and the sins of the land they walk on; and I ask You heavenly Father to forgive as them well per Matthew 6:14 KJV “14 For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you:” Demons, loose the scientific and education communities 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 scientific and education communities 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.

AS IN THE DAYS OF NOAH To exhort believers to remain vigilant, faithful, and fruitful in anticipation of Christ’s imminent return, avoiding the dangers of neglect and complacency. The teaching highlights Jesus’ warning that His coming will mirror the days of Noah—marked by ordinary living yet sudden judgment—and emphasizes personal accountability through the parable of the talents. The goal is to prepare hearts to live faithfully, shine their light, and multiply the gifts God has entrusted to them so they may be found ready at His appearing. AS IN THE DAYS OF NOAH Pastor Marcos Marrero Objective: To exhort believers to remain vigilant, faithful, and fruitful in anticipation of Christ’s imminent return, avoiding the dangers of neglect and complacency. The teaching highlights Jesus’ warning that His coming will mirror the days of Noah—marked by ordinary living yet sudden judgment—and emphasizes personal accountability through the parable of the talents. The goal is to prepare hearts to live faithfully, shine their light, and multiply the gifts God has entrusted to them so they may be found ready at His appearing. Synopsis: This teaching begins with the sobering reminder that neglect and complacency are hidden enemies that rob believers of their destiny. Drawing from Matthew 24, Jesus’ comparison of His return to the days of Noah underscores how people will be consumed with daily life, unprepared for sudden judgment. Using personal reflections from officiating funerals, the message illustrates how easily life can pass by without fulfilling God’s call. The parable of the talents (Matthew 25) is then explored to stress that believers will be judged not by what they started with, but by their faithfulness in multiplying what was entrusted to them. While the faithful receive eternal rewards, the fearful and unfruitful are rebuked as “wicked and lazy,” showing that even believers can face discipline if they fail to act on God’s gifts. Fear, torment, and complacency are depicted as forces God uses to strip away self-sufficiency and perfect His children in love. Jesus’ expectation at His return is for His followers to watch—to live with expectation, readiness, and devotion. Watching means not treating His coming casually but preparing both ourselves and others, feeding His sheep with God’s Word. The teaching closes by urging believers to transcend earthly living by uniting their lives with Christ’s, shining their light through faith, love, and active witness, so that when He comes, they will joyfully enter into His eternal joy. Inspired Teaching: Matthew 24:37 “But as the days of Noah were, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be.” If there is a mortal enemy to man of whom man is not aware of, it would have to be Neglect; and if that enemy had a partner in crime, it would have to be Complacency; and if they were headlining a Hollywood movie the title would be The Twin Killers. Someone once said that the road to hell is paved with good intentions. After officiating at a gravesite funeral for a deceased person that I did not know, as I walked by the grave markers I wondered how many of those buried there had died before fulfilling what God had destined them to be while on this earth. I guess what prompted my query was the fact that there were only a handful of people there as they laid her to rest, and I did not have much of a clue as to the life history of the elderly person we had just buried. Out of all the funerals that I officiated, that particular one always reminds me of the rapture for some reason. For as I was walking by the many gravesites the Lord revealed to me the reality of how many of us while on this earth neglect our fiduciary duties to life and become complacent about our many responsibilities to the Creator. Matthew 24:38-39 “For as in the days before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, and did not know until the flood came and took them all away, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be.” In life we quickly learn that our actions always incur reactions, but the one lesson that it is harder to learn is that our inactions also have reactions, and usually they are unwanted negative reactions, but many a times we come to that realization just a little too late. Jesus makes very clear in His teachings that life is full of uncertainties. But the one area of life that I want to focus on today is in our responsibility before Him at His soon return. What does Jesus expect from us at His return? Matthew 25:14 “For the kingdom of heaven is like a man traveling to a far country, who called his own servants and delivered his goods to them.” In the parable of the talents Jesus is clearly teaching about the responsibilities of those who have been saved and gifted with God’s many goods and their having to give an accounting before the Master upon His return. In the parable Jesus puts the emphasis in the multiplication of the talents and not on how many talents each of the servants were given originally. For those who multiplied their talents received the same reward regardless of how many talents they started with. Matthew 25:21, 23 “His lord said to him (the one who had received five talents), ‘Well done, good and faithful servant; you were faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things. Enter into the joy of your lord’...His lord said to him (the one who had received two talents), ‘Well done, good and faithful servant; you have been faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things. Enter into the joy of your lord.’” The only difference between the two is that the ones that were faithful are the ones that had been dead and were bodily resurrected at our Lord’s return, and the ones that have been faithful are the ones that are alive and rapture when our Lord returns, for they are still in the salvation process. But look at the fate of the one who failed to multiply, or at least increase the talent that he was given, for it was a horrible fate. Matthew 25:25-27 “‘And I was afraid, and went and hid your talent in the ground. Look, there you have what is yours.’ But his lord answered and said to him, ‘You wicked and lazy servant, you knew that I reap where I have not sown, and gather where I have not scattered seed. So you ought to have deposited my money with the bankers, and at my coming I would have received back my own with interest.’” Jesus uses currency as an example for the lives of those who are His, remember how the parable began? The master called his own servants and delivered his goods to them, so that Jesus is not dealing here with unbelievers, but rather He is dealing with the believers at His return. Now the word wicked that Jesus uses for the servant that failed the master when He called him you wicked and lazy servant, is the same that He used earlier in reference to a believer that failed to forgive. Matthew 18:32-34 “Then his master, after he had called him, said to him, ‘You wicked servant! I forgave you all that debt because you begged me. Should you not also have had compassion on your fellow servant, just as I had pity on you?’ And his master was angry, and delivered him to the torturers until he should pay all that was due to him.” Who are the torturers? The demons of fear and torment. 1 John 4:18 “There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love.” What was it that Jesus told us that the wicked servant first said to the master? And I was afraid, and went and hid your talent in the ground. This may come as a shock to some, but not all believers will be rapture! They will all be saved but not all will be taken up to be with Jesus when He first returns, some believers, if not many, will be turned over to the tormenting demons that will be released during the first five months of the Wrath of God upon the earth. Psalm 78:49 “He unleashed against them his hot anger, his wrath, indignation and hostility—a band of destroying angels.” So that in both cases, the servant that refused to forgive as he had been forgiven and the one who feared being accountable to the Master, neither of them had been made perfect in love, so that fear and torment will be the catalysts that God uses to perfect them into the kingdom. Fear and Torment will drive Neglect and Complacency out of the believers that refuse to be perfected in love! What is it then that Jesus expects from us at His return? Matthew 25:13 “Watch therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour in which the Son of Man is coming.” What does it mean to watch? I think it has to do with expectation; what are your expectations of Jesus as He returns? Is He coming to save you, or is He coming to judge you? What will His return be like? If you are complacent and neglectful about someone’s imminent visit, it would seem that you really do not care much about them. Your attitude may be that of, Well if I am not home when they happen to come, too bad. If the house is a mess when they come, who cares. That type of attitude implies that you own the house and that He is only a visitor, but if you are a believer you need to realize that He owns you and that He has invested into your life the gift of His life. He is not coming back to sit down and chit chat with you, He is coming back to claim the rewards from the gifts that He has invested in you and in your life. Matthew 5:16 “Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.” Let me ask you this, if I may; Does your life transcend this life? Matthew 16:25 “For whosoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it.” What light am I suppose to shine? What does it mean to lose our lives for His sake? What is transcendence? Jesus invested His life into our lives so that our lives can transcend and become one with His life. And just like He gave up His natural life to obtain a higher physical/spiritual eternal life, so must we. There is no hope in this life of death outside of the resurrection from the dead into eternal physical and spiritual life. Now if the return of Christ completes the natural life that is totally surrendered to Him, a life that is dead to the things of this world and alive in the hope of the resurrection from the dead, then His return is the most important event in all of life, and just a hint that it may be nearer should cause us to focus more closely into His possible return in our day. What is the engine that drives you? What are the predominant thoughts that preoccupy your mind as you fall asleep every night? Do you think about those love ones that may not be ready when our Lord returns? Are you planning your strategy for when the skies turn dark and the unbelievers fear? Are you prepared to tell them that Jesus is coming and that if they call on His name they will be saved? Psalm 116:10 “I believed, therefore I spoke…” A light shines through us as the result of a fire that is burning within us. If the Lord is our passion, if His Word is our compass, and if we make our lives His life, living for that wonderful moment when He appears to take us away with Him that we may be like Him, then we have already transcended this present life and are more than ready to be rescued. John 21:15 “So when they had eaten breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, ‘Simon, son of Jonah, do you love Me more than these?’ He said to Him, ‘Yes, Lord; You know that I love You.’ He said to him, ‘Feed My lambs.’” The only thing outside of our preoccupation with His soon return, should be our preoccupation with feeding His sheep with the sincere milk of the Word of God, preparing them for our Lord’s soon return. Is not the grandeur of our destiny that we should be eager to attain, but rather, in the grandeur of His coming that we should be eager to not only participate, but also to prepare as many as we possible can to participate in it as well? 2 Corinthians 4:11 “For we who live are always delivered to death for Jesus’ sake, that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our mortal flesh.” Previous Next Home

PREPARE YOURSELVES FOR THE END IS NEAR The objective of Prepare Yourselves for the End is Near is to exhort believers to sanctify Christ in their hearts, remain steadfast in hope, and prepare spiritually for the imminent return of the Lord. It aims to equip Christians to discern the times, resist worldly deception, and remain faithful witnesses of God’s promises while awaiting the fulfillment of His kingdom. PREPARE YOURSELVES FOR THE END IS NEAR Pastor Marcos Marrero Objective: The objective of Prepare Yourselves for the End is Near is to exhort believers to sanctify Christ in their hearts, remain steadfast in hope, and prepare spiritually for the imminent return of the Lord. It aims to equip Christians to discern the times, resist worldly deception, and remain faithful witnesses of God’s promises while awaiting the fulfillment of His kingdom. Synopsis: This teaching, rooted in 1 Peter 3:15, emphasizes the urgency of preparing for the nearing end of the age by sanctifying the Lord in our hearts and being ready to defend our faith with meekness. The author reflects on prophetic signs and world conditions, highlighting how powerful worldly leaders are preparing for global control rather than God’s kingdom, anticipating opportunities to consolidate power in a one-world government aligned with Revelation’s warnings. The message contrasts the agendas of earthly rulers with the hope of believers, who are not of this world but belong to a heavenly country prepared by God. Christians are called to shift their focus from temporal struggles to eternal promises, holding firm in faith and shining as beacons of truth amid growing lawlessness and deception. Like Noah preparing an ark, believers are urged to prepare their hearts, detach from worldly entrapments, and boldly share the message of salvation with others before judgment falls. Though nations and systems may collapse, the faithful will inherit God’s eternal city, where righteousness and justice reign. The teaching closes with the encouragement of 2 Peter 1:19, reminding believers to cling to the prophetic word as a guiding light until Christ returns. Inspired Teaching: 1 Peter 3:15 “But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts, and always be ready to give a defense to everyone who asks you a reason for the hope that is in you, with meekness and fear.” But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: Prepare a room in your hearts for the Lord, for His return is imminent. As many of you who follow my teachings about the end times know, every year I make an honest assessment of what is going on around the world as to how it fits within the prophetic scenario. I call it an honest assessment because I try very hard not to let my inner desires for the Lord’s return to interfere with the reality of what is transpiring. One of the tools that I use to gauge the prophetic condition of the world is how it prepares itself for what’s coming. I believe that those who are in the know have no doubt that an end is coming. These self-proclaimed guardians of the world, who are very rich and powerful have an invested interest in knowing that which lies ahead, for that is how they have become powerful and wealthy, and it is through foreknowledge of future events that they remain powerful and wealthy. Luke 16:8 “...For the sons of this world are more shrewd in their generation than the sons of light.” They have a lot more to lose. Think of it, we just believe in the Lord and put our trust in His Word and boom, we are gone as soon as He returns, but they get left behind, because they love the world and belong to it. That is the reason why they prepare themselves, they are not planning to leave this world, but rather to rule it. I also believe that they see it as an opportunity if suddenly many of us are removed instantly from this earth in what would be a worldwide population shifting event, for that would create an opening for them to redesign the world government in a way that offers them the abilities of having greater control over the populate and their resources. Although this way of thinking has been around for centuries, we are now living during the technological age that allows them for the first time a real shot at a one world governmental system that could in theory be easily manageable. Revelation 17:12-13 “The ten horns (powers) which you saw are ten kings who have received no kingdom as yet, but they receive authority for one hour as kings with the beast. These are of one mind, and they will give their power and authority to the beast.” John saw how these agents of deceit await for the beast to be revealed to the world so that they can come out of the closet, if you will, and rearrange the world’s governmental structures into ten regions, that are governed by ten leaders, who give all their allegiance to the beast for the purpose of fighting against the Lamb who came and took away His children with Him, to prevent Him from coming back to the earth. A massive data collection complex is being built in Utah, USA, for the purpose of analyzing all of the information that we now know the governments of the world have been gathering for many years now, from people like you and me. Information is power, if you can predict human behavior and how people would react to authoritative change, then you can manipulate their behavior, like cattle driven to the slaughter house. What makes this year so different is that the powers that be are not even trying to hide their agenda from us anymore, that is how close to the end they believe we are, that they can flaunt their manipulative corrupt ways and get away with it without impunity, knowing that the end is near. How do we prepare ourselves against such a power grab? We are not of this world! Let them choke on it. But as Peter said in our opening Scripture: Always be ready to give a defense to everyone who asks you a reason for the hope that is in you. We need to prepare our hearts and fill them with God’s promises to us so that we faint not in these last hours before our redemption takes place. If we are not of this world, then where do we belong? Hebrews 11:16 “But now they desire a better, that is, a heavenly country. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God, for He has prepared a city for them.” We cannot change the destiny of the nations, nor can we stop the coming judgment of God upon an unbelieving world, but we can take encouragement in the fact that we belong to a heavenly country which they can never pervert, for righteousness and justice is the foundation of God’s throne, so we may lose our country here to godless unbelievers, but only to gain a heavenly city that God has prepared for those of us who love Him. 1 Corinthians 2:9 “But as it is written: ‘Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor have entered into the heart of man the things which God has prepared for those who love Him.’” The hardest thing for me to understand is the reality that there are people who know that all these things are coming and instead of preparing themselves to become part of the kingdom of light once our Lord is revealed, they think somehow in the futility of their minds, that they can overthrow God and His kingdom and usurp the earth that the Lord created for the delight of His children who love Him. Our next Scripture sheds light into how this is possible. Romans 9:22-24 “What if God, wanting to show His wrath and to make His power known, endured with much longsuffering the vessels of wrath prepared for destruction, and that He might make known the riches of His glory on the vessels of mercy, which He had prepared beforehand for glory, even us whom He called, not of the Jews only, but also of the Gentiles?” Truth is the antidote for the deception that is being perpetrated right now upon the unbelieving world, we need to know, (make room) deep within our hearts that the end of this age is about to close, and with this in mind we need to prepare ourselves by changing our way of thinking from that of this present age, and begin to put our focus upon the age to come, we do this by disassociating ourselves from the entrapments that this world has to offer, through its lusts and passions, and its for’s and against’. Do not misunderstand me, we need to occupy and to do so fervently, and so we continue to expose their corruption, but we only occupy until He comes, and then we need to be ready to let go in an instant. And with this in mind we also need to make as many converts as possible, those who laughed at our past warnings, who are now witnessing the progression of lawlessness as it becomes exposed, need to know that there is a way out, for salvation is of the Lord. Hebrews 11:7 “By faith Noah, being divinely warned of things not yet seen, moved with godly fear, prepared an ark for the saving of his household, by which he condemned the world and became heir of the righteousness which is according to faith.” If our mindset is corralled by our inabilities to change our present condition, then we become hopeless, for nothing that is going on in our present social evolving, is good for us the children of faith. But if our mindset is one of remaining unapologetically faithful to our Lord’s promises, as a beacon to the disillusioned masses, our uncompromising will be rewarded, for the Light of God’s truth will finally shine on those who waver with unbelief, if we faint not. 2 Peter 1:19 “And so we have the prophetic word confirmed, which you do well to heed as a light that shines in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts.” Previous Next Home

JERUSALEM THE CITY OF TRUTH To present God’s prophetic plan for Jerusalem as revealed in Scripture, affirming His promises of restoration, truth, and holiness for the city. The teaching seeks to highlight how God’s Word has been fulfilled historically, how it is being fulfilled in present times, and how it will be completed in the end of the age, despite opposition from nations and rulers. JERUSALEM THE CITY OF TRUTH Pastor Marcos Marrero Objective: To present God’s prophetic plan for Jerusalem as revealed in Scripture, affirming His promises of restoration, truth, and holiness for the city. The teaching seeks to highlight how God’s Word has been fulfilled historically, how it is being fulfilled in present times, and how it will be completed in the end of the age, despite opposition from nations and rulers. Synopsis: This teaching draws from Zechariah 8:3, where God makes a threefold declaration concerning Jerusalem: He will return to Zion and dwell there, Jerusalem will be called the City of Truth, and it will be known as the Holy Mountain of the Lord. The message traces the prophetic timeline of Jerusalem, beginning with Jesus’ foretelling of the temple’s destruction and the scattering of the Jews, which was fulfilled within that very generation. It then points to the miraculous restoration of Israel as a nation in modern times after nearly 1,900 years, an event unparalleled in human history, proving that God’s counsel shall stand. The lesson emphasizes that current global hostility toward Israel, particularly from nations like Iran, is not merely political but spiritual rebellion against God Himself. Nations that conspire against Jerusalem are warned through Scripture that they will be struck with confusion and judgment, as God defends His chosen people. The teaching further declares that in the end times, Jerusalem will stand as the City of Truth, revealing the ultimate reality of God’s sovereignty. Though the nations rage against His Word, God has set His King, Jesus Christ, upon His holy hill of Zion, and His kingdom will prevail. The prophetic vision concludes with the assurance that many nations will one day seek the Lord in Jerusalem, acknowledging that God is with His people. Finally, believers are exhorted to remain steadfast in prayer and intercession for Israel and the nations, trusting in God’s promises and awaiting the fulfillment of His divine plan, for He is a God of truth, justice, and miracles. Inspired Teaching: Zechariah 8:3 “Thus says the Lord: I will return to Zion, and dwell in the midst of Jerusalem. Jerusalem shall be called the City of Truth, the Mountain of the Lord of hosts, the Holy Mountain.” There are things that men and nations do that are in direct violation of the Word of the Lord, but as with everything else that the Lord does, He is longsuffering toward the nations and peoples that sin against His Word. He lets their own sinful ways catch up with them so that they all eventually end up in the misery because of their disobedience and rebellion against His Word. But when the actions of the nations and of the peoples interfere with the plans that the Lord has, and there are no nations here on earth left to make a way for the plans of the Lord to come to fruition, then the Lord intervenes directly, for as it is written: Isaiah 46:10 “...My counsel shall stand, and I will do all My pleasure.” In our opening text God makes a threefold declaration about what His plans are for Israel, and for Jerusalem in particular during the end of the age, for these are the days in which we are living right now. Jesus prophesied that Jerusalem and the temple would be destroyed and that the Jews would be scattered and persecuted throughout the world. It happened just as Jesus prophesied, the temple that took almost forty years to build and that was expected, at the time that it was built, to last for centuries, was gone in a fraction of the time that it took to be built. Matthew 24:2 “And Jesus said to them, ‘Do you not see all these things? Assuredly, I say to you, not one stone shall be left here upon another, that shall not be thrown down’” This specific prophecy would have been extremely difficult for any reasonable person to believe back then. The temple of Jesus’ day took forty years to build, and it cost a great amount of treasure, it took a great deal of labor to build it, and on top of that it was built with the blessings of the Roman empire, whose reign lasted for centuries. But the generation that heard that prophecy lived to see its fulfillment. It was also prophesied that the nation of Israel would be restored once again at the end of days. No other nation in the history of the world that disappeared from being a nation for nineteen hundred years ever became a nation again, but Israel did, with the same language, the same traditions, on the same land, and with the same capital that they had when they ceased to be a nation. That’s because God’s counsel will stand! Matthew 18:20 NKJV For where two or three are gathered together in my name, I am there in the midst of them. In the mouth of two or three witnesses a matter is established. It is interesting that in our opening text God makes a threefold prophecy concerning the nation of Israel and the Jerusalem of our present day. This is what Jesus says about the present-day nation of Israel and its capital, the city of Jerusalem: I will return to Zion, and dwell in the midst of Jerusalem. Do you see any ambiguity in that statement? The Word that prophesied the destruction of the nation of Israel, is the same Word that prophesied its restoration, and is the same Word that says that He is returning to Zion, and that He is going to dwell in the midst of Jerusalem. Let’s face it, Jerusalem is not going anywhere any time soon, and anybody or any nation that works against Israel or Jerusalem to keep them from becoming what the Word of God says it will become in these end times, is going to be broken by the Almighty God who watches over His Word to fulfill it. Zechariah 12:3 “And it shall happen in that day that I will make Jerusalem a very heavy stone for all peoples; all who would heave it away will surely be cut in pieces, though all nations of the earth are gathered against it.” Our present-day Iran is hell bent in the destruction of the nation of Israel, and like Hitler, Iran’s final solution for the Jewish people is to eradicate them from the face of the earth. To this end, they are heavily invested in building enough nuclear weapons so that they can bring their demonic desires about, the destruction of the nation of Israel. A group of leaders representing a majority of nations, under the leadership of the president of the United States, just gave Iran a clear path to their goal of having the right to make the elements required for building the bombs that they will need to carry out their destruction. Iran knows that if they attack Israel with nuclear weapons that they themselves will be destroyed as well, but what their religion teaches them is that if they destroy the Jewish people, their messiah will come and deliver them from Israel’s wrath. Remember that these are the people that believe that suicide against the Jews is a way to attain immortality. But this is what the Word of God says is happening to the nations that are conspiring to bring about the destruction of the nation of Israel. Zechariah 12:4 “In that day, says the Lord, I will strike every horse with confusion, and its rider with madness; I will open My eyes on the house of Judah, and will strike every horse of the peoples with blindness.” What was the second thing that our opening Scripture declared that God would do in these end times? Jerusalem shall be called the City of Truth. Truth is reality. These nations and their leaders that are so blinded by their prejudices against the Jews and Jerusalem are soon going to find out the cold hard truth: That God is real, that Jesus, His Word, is coming soon to establish His rule here on the earth, and that God’s will shall stand no matter what the nations do. Psalm 2:1-12 “Why do the nations rage, and the people plot a vain thing? The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the Lord and against His anointed, saying, ‘Let us break Their bonds in pieces and cast away Their cords from us.’ He who sits in the heavens shall laugh; the Lord shall hold them in derision. Then He shall speak to them in His wrath, and distress them in His deep displeasure: Yet I have set My King on My holy hill of Zion. I will declare the decree: The Lord has said to Me, You are My Son, today I have begotten You. Ask of Me, and I will give You the nations for Your inheritance, and the ends of the earth for Your possession. You shall break them with a rod of iron; You shall dash them to pieces like a potter’s vessel. Now therefore, be wise, O kings; be instructed, you judges of the earth. Serve the Lord with fear, and rejoice with trembling. Kiss the Son, lest He be angry, and you perish in the way, when His wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all those who put their trust in Him.” The root of the hatred against Israel is the fact that the nations of this world do not want to have to answer to the Word of God for their actions. For them rejection of Israel is an open rebuke and rejection against God that is why they say, let us break Their bonds in pieces. The Lord shall hold them in derision. Once the nations of the world cross the line, where they reject Israel for the sake of rejecting God, that God strikes them with confusion and madness. The question that we need to ask ourselves right now is, Did the nations gathered in Geneva crossed that line with the treaty that they just made? Here is a Scripture that may apply to what just happened over there: Zechariah 8:7 “Thus says the Lord of hosts: ‘Behold, I will save My people from the land of the east and from the land of the west.’” Yet I have set My King on My holy hill of Zion. Notice the word yet, that means that in spite of what the nations of the east and the nations of the west did, God’s counsel, His Word will stand. And what is that Word? I will give You the nations for Your inheritance. Whether they like it or not, the earth is the Lord’s as well as everything in it, that includes the nations and all of the peoples of the earth, and this is the advice that the Lord gives to the leaders of these nations: Now therefore, be wise, O kings; be instructed, you judges of the earth. Serve the Lord with fear, and rejoice with trembling. Kiss the Son, lest He be angry, and you perish in the way, when His wrath is kindled but a little. The third thing that the Lord revealed in our opening Scripture was: The Mountain of the Lord of hosts, the Holy Mountain. Righteousness and justice are the foundation of God’s throne, the kings and the judges of this world system do not rule supreme, all their despicable acts and rules with which they have corrupted the world with will have to be accounted for. Let us pray that our nation will be one of the ones that will repent before the Lord, for the sake of us all. Zechariah 8:22-23 “Yes, many peoples and strong nations shall come to seek the Lord of hosts in Jerusalem, and to pray before the Lord. Thus says the Lord of hosts: ‘In those days ten men from every language of the nations shall grasp the sleeve of a Jewish man, saying, “Let us go with you, for we have heard that God is with you.”’” Can you believe that! It will happen, after all our God is a God of miracles, all we need to do is to continue to pray for our nation and for the peoples of the nations, for it is only through prayer and intercession that we know our Lord will hear us and move to bless us in the midst of all this chaos. While the nations rage, let us pray! Previous Next Home

SPIRITUAL FRUIT The objective of this teaching is to help believers understand the true nature and purpose of spiritual fruit, as defined in Galatians 5:22–23. It emphasizes that spiritual fruit is the natural outworking of God’s love in the heart of those who are born again, guiding them to live in the Spirit and walk in victory over selfish ambitions. By cultivating these fruits, Christians are delivered from strongholds of selfishness, idolatry, and unforgiveness, enabling them to walk in freedom, self-control, and genuine love. < Back SPIRITUAL FRUIT Pastor Marcos Marrero Objective: The objective of this teaching is to help believers understand the true nature and purpose of spiritual fruit, as defined in Galatians 5:22–23. It emphasizes that spiritual fruit is the natural outworking of God’s love in the heart of those who are born again, guiding them to live in the Spirit and walk in victory over selfish ambitions. By cultivating these fruits, Christians are delivered from strongholds of selfishness, idolatry, and unforgiveness, enabling them to walk in freedom, self-control, and genuine love. Synopsis: In Spiritual Fruit, Pastor Marcos Marrero explains that the fruit of the Spirit—though expressed in nine qualities—is singular, revealing that all these virtues flow from the love of God implanted in the believer at the moment of spiritual rebirth. Unbelievers cannot produce such fruit because it is only born of the Spirit of God. The lesson highlights Paul’s call for believers to crucify the flesh and walk in the Spirit, not merely live in it. Spiritual fruit culminates in self-control, which represents victory over selfish ambition—the root of sin and bondage. Marrero contrasts the Spirit’s leading with the natural inclination toward selfishness, worldliness, and unforgiveness, warning that clinging to idols or harboring hatred causes believers to forfeit God’s grace and mercy. Through biblical examples such as Jonah’s rebellion against God’s mercy toward Nineveh, and Jesus’ parable of the unforgiving servant, the teaching illustrates the danger of self-centeredness and the demonic tormentors that exploit it. Instead, true deliverance and restoration flow from understanding and manifesting God’s love through forgiveness, compassion, and intercessory prayer. Ultimately, Pastor Marcos stresses that the fruit of the Spirit is both evidence of salvation and the pathway to victorious Christian living. The believer’s goal is to walk in God’s love, overcoming fear, selfish ambition, and prejudice, and living out the fullness of self-control—against which there is no law or condemnation. In surrendering bitterness and embracing love, believers find true deliverance, renewal, and enduring freedom in Christ. Written teaching: Galatians 5:22-23 “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness (meekness), self-control. Against such there is no law.” The word fruit is singular, meaning that these nine qualities can only be produced by a person who has had the love of God shed-abroad on their hearts at the moment of their spiritual birth, in other words, unbelievers do not have the capacity to produce spiritual fruit, since they are not born again, or born of the Spirit of God. Galatians 5:24-25 “And those who are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. If we live in the Spirit (if we are born again, or born of the Spirit), let us also walk in the Spirit.” What Paul is trying to teach us here is that we have a unique opportunity, as believers, to take advantage of the deliverance that our salvation has made available to all who believe. In the previous lesson (deliverance is for life, in the deliverance archives) I made the point that Jesus not only forgives us our sins when we confess them before Him in true repentance, but that Jesus is not only just, but able as well, to cleanse us, that is, to deliver us from the consequences of the sins that He forgives us when we truly repent. 1 John 1:9 So that Paul is making the case to the Galatians, that since the Spirit of God’s love abides in them, for without God’s Spirit they could not be saved, why don’t they just continue to follow the spiritual path of love that will eventually lead them to a victorious walk of self-control, which is the goal of the Christian path, that is to overcome our selfish ambitions. Philippians 2:3-4 “Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself. Let each of you look out not only for his own interests, but also for the interest of others.” A self-centered person can never truly be delivered, for the Christian battle is always between the spirit of Selfish-Ambitions and the spirit of Self-Control, and a self-centered person can never walk in self-control, for everything in this world is designed to entice the spirit of selfishness that we were all born within our human nature, away from God’s counsel that will lead us into the path of self-control. 1 John 2:15-17 “Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—is not of the Father but is of the world. And the world is passing away, and the lust of it; but he who does the will of God abides forever.” The key phrase here is, the love of the Father, spiritual fruit emanates from the love of the Father, without the love of the Father there is no spiritual fruit, and love for the things of this world will keep us from being delivered from the spirit of Selfish-Ambitions. 1 Peter 1:9 “Receiving the end (goal) of your faith—the salvation (deliverance) of your souls.” The goal of our Christian walk is that of living by the power of the spiritual fruit of Self-Control, for against such there is no law, in other words, there can be no condemnation against us when we are led by the Spirit of God’s love. But remember what Paul said, if we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit, meaning that not all who are born again, that is, they live in the Spirit, are able to walk in the Spirit as well, for they are bound by strongholds that keeps them from walking in the freedom that Jesus has destined for them. What is it that keeps Christians from walking in the freedom of self-control that Jesus has already purchased for them? Jonah 2:8 “Those who regard worthless idols forsake their own Mercy.” Jonah 2:8 “Those who cling to worthless idols forfeit the grace that could be theirs.” NIV Remember that it was Jonah who did not want to go and preach to the city of Nineveh that if they repented, God would forgive them, and because of his rebellion against the will of God, he was taken into the belly of hell itself where he almost perished. Why did he rebelled? Jonah 4:2 “So he prayed to the Lord, and said, ‘Ah, Lord, was not this what I said when I was still in my country? Therefore I fled previously to Tarshish; for I know that You are a gracious and merciful God, slow to anger and abundant in lovingkindness, One who relents from doing harm.’” Jonah refused to preach to his enemies because he did not want them to be spared the judgment that they had coming. Knowing that God is merciful, Jonah feared that if he preached to them and they repented, that God would forgive them, as He did. Jonah’s selfish desires got the best of him, for he rather see his enemies perish than forgiven, and it almost cost him his own soul, so that he understood about forfeiting the grace that he had with God. Jesus taught the same principle to us in a parable, so that we understand the dangers of walking in our own selfish interests. Matthew 18:33-35 “Should you not also have had compassion on your fellow servant, just as I had pity on you? And his master was angry, and delivered him to the torturers (tormentors) until he should pay all that was due to him. So My heavenly Father also will do to you if each of you, from his heart, does not forgive his brother his trespasses.” If we are to fully understand about love and forgiveness, and deliverance and restoration, we have to view them from a spiritual perspective, rather than from our physical perch, and that is because there are demonic forces involved with all of these. The torturers, or tormentors, are the demonic entities that are in place, and they are ready to go, in a moments notice, after those who stray from the path that God has ordained for them to walk in. While in the world, many of us fell prey to their trickery and paid for our sins and mistakes with the loss of something that was near and dear to us, for the wages of sin is death, and many of us became bound to their strongholds that kept us repeating the same sins over and over again. But when we got saved, Jesus delivered us from the path of waywardness and set our feet on the solid foundation of His Word, and put us under His protection and covering. But the deliverance from the strongholds that still remained after our salvation, can only be obtained by the power of His love with which He loved us, working in us and through us, and manifested to others in a way that makes it clear to all the demonic hosts that we understand God’s mercy and His great love and compassion for all humankind. 1 John 4:18-20 “There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love. We love Him because He first loved us (we understand His love for us so that we are able to love Him back, and are able to love others as He loves them). If someone says, ‘I love God,’ and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen, how can he love God whom he has not seen?” As we learn not to take the offenses that come our way personally, and make it a habit of praying for our enemies and for those whom the Lord places in our path that keep failing others and ourselves, we become spiritual light bearers on behalf of those who are out in no man’s land. Our prayers for them becomes a temporary covering, like the one that God provided for the prophet Jonah as He was dealing with Jonah’s rebellion, that way, the demonic tormentors are limited in what they are able to do against those we are praying for, and when the Lord knows that they are ready, He will remove the temporary covering that He placed over them through our ministry of intercession and reveal to them His love for them and the way of their salvation. Jonah 4:6-11 “And the Lord God prepared a plant and made it come up over Jonah (a temporary spiritual covering), that it might be shade for his head to deliver him from his misery. So Jonah was very grateful for the plant. But as morning dawned the next day God prepared a worm, and it so damaged the plant that it withered. And it happened, when the sun arose, that God prepared a vehement east wind; and the sun beat on Jonah’s head, so that he grew faint. Then he wished death for himself, and said, ‘It is better for me to die than to live.’ Then God said to Jonah, ‘Is it right for you to be angry about the plant?’ And he said, ‘It is right for me to be angry, even to death!’ But the Lord said, ‘You have had pity on the plant for which you have not labored, nor made it grow, which came up in a night and perished in a night. And should I not pity Nineveh, that great city, in which are more than one hundred and twenty thousand persons who cannot discern between their right hand and their left—and much livestock?’” Jonah had such a tremendous stronghold of hatred towards the people of Nineveh that he was angry enough to die for a plant that offered him a temporary covering, while he waited to see if God would destroy the city that he hated and did not want to see delivered. The fact that God uses the number one hundred and twenty thousand, connects it to the church age, for there were about one hundred and twenty disciples gathered together in one accord when the Holy Spirit fell on them. Is there a hidden lesson here for the church of Jesus Christ? Let us keep it personal; is there a hatred so deep within you against someone or something, that you are willing to forfeit the grace that you have in Jesus just to get revenge? I pray not! But if you have a stronghold of prejudice in your life against someone who has hurt you, you need to bear it no more, ask the Lord to deliver you, pray for His revelation to show you the spiritual condition of those who betrayed your trust, and know for a fact that all your trespasses He has gladly forgiven you. If you cannot find the capacity within you to love and to forgive those who spitefully used you and abused you, I have good news for you, He will give you a new heart, just let the old one go. Get on the floor, with your face pressed hard against it, and picture yourself at the feet of Jesus, and there cry out to Him; Lord! Have mercy on this lost and broken sinner, and there at the foot of the cross, leave that old broken and hardened heart once and for all, and before you get up you will be renewed, for He is a merciful God, and He will not turn you away. To be sure, you will not be the first nor will you be the last to be delivered by the power of an all loving and merciful God. Jonah 2:2 “...I cried out to the Lord because of my affliction, and He answered me. Out of the belly of Sheol (hell) I cried, and You heard my voice.” Previous Home Next

THE DISPENSATION OF THE FULLNESS OF THE TIMES To explain the biblical concept of dispensations—periods in which God deals with humanity under distinct rules and responsibilities—while highlighting the climactic purpose of the “dispensation of the fullness of the times” (Ephesians 1:10). The teaching aims to trace humanity’s journey through the seven dispensations revealed in Scripture, culminating in the Kingdom Age, when Christ will unite all things in Himself, bringing final judgment, restoration, and eternal rest. THE DISPENSATION OF THE FULLNESS OF THE TIMES Pastor Marcos Marrero Objective: To explain the biblical concept of dispensations—periods in which God deals with humanity under distinct rules and responsibilities—while highlighting the climactic purpose of the “dispensation of the fullness of the times” (Ephesians 1:10). The teaching aims to trace humanity’s journey through the seven dispensations revealed in Scripture, culminating in the Kingdom Age, when Christ will unite all things in Himself, bringing final judgment, restoration, and eternal rest. Synopsis: The study begins by defining dispensations as divine epochs in which God governs humanity under unique conditions. The first dispensation, Innocence, was given to Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden, marked by a single commandment. After their fall, humanity entered the dispensation of Conscience, where self-awareness of sin led to corruption and ultimate judgment in the flood. Subsequent dispensations followed: Human Government — beginning after the flood, marked by the scattering at Babel, still continuing in today’s global political structures. Promise — initiated with God’s covenant with Abraham, which laid the foundation for Israel and the coming of Messiah. Law — delivered through Moses to Israel, pointing to humanity’s need for redemption. Grace — inaugurated through Christ’s death and resurrection, bringing salvation to Jews and Gentiles alike. The teaching emphasizes that unfinished dispensations—Human Government, Law, and Grace—will converge in the last days. Their simultaneous reappearance in modern times (Israel restored as a nation, the rise of the United Nations, and the renewed activity within the Church) signals preparation for the “dispensation of the fullness of the times.” In this period, Christ will gather all things in heaven and earth into Himself, and all dispensations will face their final judgment. The seventh and final dispensation, the Kingdom Age (Rest), will be the reign of Christ for one thousand years, fulfilling God’s plan of restoration. Just as Peter was judged and restored in the same settings of his failure, so too will each dispensation be judged and resolved before God establishes His everlasting kingdom. The lesson closes with a sobering call to discern current events—such as America’s waning constitutional strength—as part of prophecy’s unfolding. Believers are urged to remain prayerful and steadfast, anticipating the soon-coming consummation when Christ unites all creation under His rule. Inspired Teaching: Ephesians 1:10 “That in the dispensation of the fullness of the times He might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven and which are on earth—in Him.” What is the dispensation of the fullness of the times? Through the centuries theologians have discovered that God deals with humanity through differing epochs of time called dispensations. Each dispensation of time differs from another by the rules under which God deals with humanity in each unique dispensation of time. Theologians also figure out that there are seven such dispensations revealed in Scripture, with the last dispensation being the dispensation of rest, also known as the Kingdom Age, when Jesus will rule and reign over the entire world and all of its inhabitants for one thousand years. There were only two people under the jurisdiction of the first dispensation, Adam and Eve, and their time in the Garden is called the dispensation of innocence, and it was the first dispensation, and there was only one rule that applied to them while in Paradise: Genesis 2:16-17 “And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, ‘Of every tree of the garden you may freely eat; but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die.’” After Adam and Eve sinned by disobeying God’s command not to eat of the fruit that would cause them to become self-aware, they were driven out of the Garden Paradise and into a different place and dispensation. Although we are not told how long Adam and Eve were in the Garden before they sinned, we know that the next dispensation that they were put under lasted 1,656 years, and ended with Noah’s flood. This new dispensation was called the dispensation of conscience because Adam and Eve and their descendants became very much aware of their nakedness that they inherited through Adam and Eve’s disobedience. Genesis 6:5 “Then the Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.” Once man became self-aware of his sinful nature and realized the hopelessness of his situation, eventually he gave himself to think of only evil continually, and became in their consciences worthless to God, who then had no choice but to swiftly destroy them. In both judgments, the dispensation of innocence and the dispensation of conscience, the judgment of God was final. What that means is that we can never come to God again in innocence or in conscience, in innocence because all the descendants of Adam and Eve are conceived and born in the consequences of their sin which is death, we are born mortals. And in conscience because our carnal minds are enmity to the Word of God. Romans 8:7 “Because the carnal mind is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, nor indeed can be.” So that through Adam and Eve we’ve not only inherited corrupt bodies that lost their innocence, but we also inherited a corrupted mind that can never be brought under the jurisdiction of the Word of God. 1 Corinthians 2:16 “...But we have the mind of Christ.” Just in case some of you were wondering about our present estate of mind. Our sinfulness is blotted out by the blood of Jesus and our old mind set is replaced by the mind of Christ which is given to us at the time when we become born again. Romans 8:6 “For to be carnally minded is death (because of Adam and Eve’s disobedience to the Word of God), but to be spiritually minded is life and peace (because the words of Jesus are Spirit and they are life).” Now our next dispensation was not judged completely when they rebelled against God, for its final day of judgment has been reserved for the day of the dispensation of the fullness of the times, which is where this lesson is headed, but first let me enumerate the rest of the dispensations so that we can put them all into the proper context. Genesis 11:8-9 “So the Lord scattered them abroad from there over the face of all the earth, and they ceased building the city. Therefore its name is called Babel (means confusion), because there the Lord confused the language of all the earth; and from there the Lord scattered them abroad over the face of all the earth.” After the flood of Noah’s day, all the waters that were in and around the poles of the earth froze immediately, leaving the water levels of the oceans a lot lower than they are today, and causing a land bridge between the continents. It was God’s plan for humans after the flood to migrate to all the continents and fill the earth before the majority of the ice melted, which that happened during the days of Peleg when the land bridges that connected the continents were divided, buy submersion or by the melting away of the ice that connected some of the land masses. But mankind had other plans, they wanted to make a name for themselves, so they congregated together in rebellion against God’s command, and decided to build a tower that reached to the heavens, but God just simply confused their languages so that they could not communicate with one another, and so they scattered through the continents as was God’s original purpose, but God did not fully judge them at that time. Their dispensation was called human government, or what the book of Revelation calls, the kingdoms of this world, and they are very much still around today, for their dispensation has not yet been brought to a close. Today the European Union headquarters is a building that looks like an unfinished tower of Babel, for after all it will be the revived Roman empire whom prophecy foretells will give all its power to the antichrist to face Jesus during the final battle of Armageddon. Since mankind could not save themselves in innocence, or through their own consciences, or even when the power of human government did not bring about obedience to the commandments of God, that was when God decided to introduce His Promise. When the dispensation of promise is completed it will be known as the dispensation of the fullness of the times, for its at that time that God will bring to a close all the yet to be finally judged dispensations. Genesis 12:7 “Then the Lord appeared to Abram and said, ‘To your descendants I will give this land.’ And there he built an altar to the Lord, who had appeared to him.” When God entered into a covenant with Abraham it was a two-fold covenant, a covenant that spans two dispensations. For out of that covenant comes the nation of Israel and their deliverer, Moses, through whom the dispensation of law was given. And the promise of salvation for the Gentile nations was given through the dispensation of grace by the Lord Himself in His Gospel. John 1:17 “For the law was given through Moses, but grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.” Ephesians 3:1-2 “For this reason I, Paul, the prisoner of Christ Jesus for you Gentiles—if indeed you have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which was given to me for you.” So here is a list of the seven dispensations: • The dispensation of innocence. • The dispensation of conscience. • The dispensation of human government. • The dispensation of promise. • The dispensation of law. • The dispensation of grace. That in the dispensation of the fullness of the times He might gather together in one all things in Christ. And after all the above dispensations are finally completed, then all the believers that come out of every dispensation will be resurrected each in their time and ushered into the final dispensation of God’s rest, to rule and reign with Christ for one thousand years. The seventh is the dispensation of rest, or what will probably be called at that time the Kingdom Age. Now why are all these unfinished dispensations relevant to us today? Scripture teaches us that before God brings something or someone into the judgment, he restores them into the condition that they were in when they first rebelled, so that we know for a fact that the dispensation of the fullness of the times judgment cannot begin until all the yet to be judged dispensations appear together at the same time in history, since we also know that God is going to judge them all in the same period of time. The judgment and restoration of Peter gives us an example of how God will bring about the judgment of the dispensations. Peter got saved after he witnessed the miracle of the catch of fish in his net, which he lowered into the sea at the command Jesus, even after fishing all night and catching nothing. Peter rejected Jesus while hanging around a fire just trying to keep warm the night that Jesus was arreste. He was confronted by a girl who accused him of being one of Jesus’ disciples. John chapter 21 tells us that Jesus appeared to Peter again after he was fishing all night and did not catch anything, Jesus tells him to cast the net on the right side of the boat and a miracle happens again, the net is full of fish. Then when Peter drags the net to shore he finds that Jesus had kindled a fire of coals with fish and bread on it. So that all of the elements are in place to bring Peter back in his soul to the places of where he experienced his salvation and to the place where his rejection took place as well, then Jesus asks Peter a very simple question, Simon, son of Jonah, do you love Me more than these? Peter was not only judged there, but he was restored there as well. We witnessed in the twentieth century something that had never happened before in the history of mankind, the dispensations of human government, law and grace all came together for the first time in the same form in which they were after God had dispersed them. The Jews who were driven from the Holy Land after as a nation they rejected Jesus as their Messiah, were once again restored as a nation back to the land where they were driven from 1,900 years ago, while still rejecting Jesus as their Messiah as a nation, so that the dispensation of law which came through the nation of Israel and it must be judged in the nation of Israel was set in place awaiting their final judgment. The kingdoms of this world who have been scattered since the days when Nimrod was cut to pieces for his rebellion against God over 4,000 year ago, came together once again as one group in the middle of the twentieth century as the United Nations, where all their many languages can be translated instantly and a speaker can be understood by all the different nations no matter what language he speaks. It was also in the middle of the twentieth century that the apostolic revival began to take roots within the church once again. So that the three dispensations whose judgment it is yet to be finalized are presently in their prophetic places, Israel, the church, and the United Nations, all awaiting for the fulfillment of God’s promised conclusion to be meted out to them at their appointed time. Matthew 25:31-34 “When the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the holy angels with Him, then He will sit on the throne of His glory. All the nations will be gathered before him, and He will separate them one from another, as a shepherd divides his sheep from the goats. And He will set the sheep on His right hand, but the goats on the left. Then the King will say to those on His right hand, ‘Come you blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.’” I believe that the last piece that has to fall into place before the final judgment begins is the United States government. Our constitution has been a great hurdle that those who longed for the revived Roman empire and the new world order have not been able to overcome until now. After years of brainwashing the American populace, through all kinds of mediums, into having an open disregard for the constitution and the values that it fosters, this is the closest that they have come to succeeding, for our present day government is in total disregard for constitutional law and it is not being held accountable for it. If America does not recover from this evil that has befallen it, and I do not see any of our leaders calling for a nation wide repentance, then our time here on this earth is pretty much over I believe. Let us continue to pray for His preservation for those of us who believe. Previous Next Home

Say this prayer out loud: Mighty Heavenly Father, I lift up those that rebel, rebuke, choose evil on purpose, steal, kill, destroy, and/or blasphemy the holy spirit to Your throne room and I forgive them of their iniquities, the sins they have committed, the curses against them, the curses spoken from them, and the sins of the land they walk on; and I ask You heavenly Father to forgive as them well per Matthew 6:14 KJV “14 For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you:” Demons, loose those that rebel, rebuke, choose evil on purpose, steal, kill, destroy, and/or blasphemy the holy spirit, 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 those that rebel, rebuke, choose evil on purpose, steal, kill, destroy, and/or blasphemy the holy spirit ever again per Matthew 16:19 KJV “19 And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.” And per Psalm 149:6-9 KJV “6 Let the high praises of God be in their mouth, and a two-edged sword in their hand; 7 To execute vengeance upon the heathen, and punishments upon the people; 8 To bind their kings with chains, and their nobles with fetters of iron; 9 To execute upon them the judgment written: this honour have all his saints. Praise ye the Lord.” And Heavenly Father, I bless those that rebel, rebuke, choose evil on purpose, steal, kill, destroy, and/or blasphemy the holy spirit 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.” This gives them another opportunity to repent. I atone on their behalf by saying the following: I stand in their shoes and lift their hands and my hands to the Heavenly Father saying, Lord, forgive us our sins, come into our hearts, and be our Lord and Savior as Romans 10:9 KJV says “9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.” For I choose to believe on behalf of my family, in-laws, and up to my fourth cousins in the Name of Jesus, the Son of the Living God. And for those that continue to blasphemy the Holy Spirit per Matthew 12:31-32 KJV “31 Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men. 32 And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come” then let them not be forgiven. Bind them with cords so tight, they cannot breathe, and place them in their sickbeds until they choose to repent. Remove their foundation of whatever support they lean on. Remove whatever finances they depend on and expose their beliefs of lies and frauds to them in hopes they would see and hear to believe. But do not let evil propagate or be fruitful for the gates of hell will not prevail. Matthew 16:18 KJV “18 And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.” 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 THOSE WHO REBEL ON PURPOSE PRAY FOR THOSE WHO REBEL ON PURPOSE PRAY FOR THOSE WHO REBEL ON PURPOSE Say this prayer out loud: Mighty Heavenly Father, I lift up those that rebel, rebuke, choose evil on purpose, steal, kill, destroy, and/or blasphemy the holy spirit to Your throne room and I forgive them of their iniquities, the sins they have committed, the curses against them, the curses spoken from them, and the sins of the land they walk on; and I ask You heavenly Father to forgive as them well per Matthew 6:14 KJV “14 For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you:” Demons, loose those that rebel, rebuke, choose evil on purpose, steal, kill, destroy, and/or blasphemy the holy spirit, 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 those that rebel, rebuke, choose evil on purpose, steal, kill, destroy, and/or blasphemy the holy spirit 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.

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

EVE - RELATIONSHIP PART 1 The objective of this message is to teach biblical principles of relationships as revealed through the creation of Eve, showing how God’s original design establishes the foundation for marriage, family, and human connection. The lesson aims to help believers understand the structure of relationships according to Scripture, apply God’s word to their daily lives, and cultivate stronger, Christ-centered connections with spouses, parents, children, and others. EVE - RELATIONSHIP PART 1 Minister Lisa Kane May 16, 2024 Objective: The objective of this message is to teach biblical principles of relationships as revealed through the creation of Eve, showing how God’s original design establishes the foundation for marriage, family, and human connection. The lesson aims to help believers understand the structure of relationships according to Scripture, apply God’s word to their daily lives, and cultivate stronger, Christ-centered connections with spouses, parents, children, and others. Synopsis: In this continuation of the Women of the Bible series, Lisa Kane focuses on Eve, exploring her creation and its significance in the construct of human relationships. Using Genesis 1:27 and 2:21–24 as the starting point, the teaching emphasizes how God formed man and woman with complementary roles that reflect His image. The message highlights that the foundation of relationships is built when Adam leaves his parents and cleaves to Eve, establishing the pattern of unity, faith, and dependence upon God. Lisa explains that relationships are designed to mirror the order God set: man submitting to Christ, and woman partnering with and supporting man under God’s covering. Drawing from Ephesians 5, the lesson clarifies submission, self-control, and love within marriage, addressing misconceptions and stressing mutual prayer, humility, and unity in Christ as the true strength of relationships. Practical insights are given on handling conflicts, practicing forgiveness, exercising self-control through the fruit of the Spirit, and maintaining prayer as the cornerstone of relational health. Husbands are instructed to love their wives sacrificially, while wives are called to respect and support their husbands, both drawing strength from Christ as the ultimate foundation. The message closes with encouragement to allow the Holy Spirit to transform personal attitudes and actions, ensuring relationships thrive according to God’s design. A follow-up teaching is promised on how to address and restore broken relationships. Inspired Teaching - Written and/or Transcribed from Video Above: Hello and welcome to the House of Faith Ministries. I'm Lisa Kaine. I'm recording this on Thursday, May 16th, 2024. Welcome. I'm in a series called Women of the Bible. And today we're going to be talking again about Eve. is kind of like a part two, but in this case, we're going to be talking about Eve in relationships because the foundation or the construct of relationship is built at the time Eve is created. So, I want to show you that, teach it to you, and hopefully help you understand how to change yourself to have better relationships with your spouse, with your parents, with your children, with your co-workers, and so on and so forth. Amen. Let's open up in a word of prayer. Father God, we thank you for your word, and we bless your word that it does not return void. We ask that your word penetrates our heart and that the enemy does not take away the word that you plant in our hearts. That you plant it with the seed and that it manifests and grows within us. That your word stands strong in us. That we are very good at relationships and we can stand in your relationship that you have given us. Thank you, Father God, for your blessings, for your honor, for your glory, for everything that you do, have done, and will do in the name of Jesus. Amen. Amen. Amen. So, we're talking about women of the Bible and we're still in Eve. This is I guess you can call it a part two, but in reality, the first one was called Eve Born Again. This one's called Eve relationship. Let's go to our opening scripture. So, we're going to start again with the same scripture we did before. Genesis 1:27. So, God created man in his own image. In the image of God created he him, male and female created he them. I want to reiterate this part and let me um lay a foundation here. First, there are two books of the Bible that are most attacked. Genesis is one of them. Revelation is the other. So, if you're not hearing teachers and preachers in your listening, whether at church or on your online listening of teachers and preachers, if they're not teaching on Genesis and Revelation, supplement your listening. add in teachers that are teaching in Genesis and Revelation because it is so profound to know how it began, what God plans to do, what he does in the middle, and then how he ends it all. If you understand the whole thing, it makes a lot more sense for you to believe in it. Amen. Second, I want to lay down a foundation of your faith. The enemy has attacked the book of Genesis. So much so that there are teachers and preachers trying to force evolution into scripture. Well, scripture does not talk about evolution at all. Evolution is not possible. I taught on this. I don't want to delve into it too much. You can go back and look at the teaching I did. It's under other teachings in the houseof faithministries.org website. But I can assure you that evolution is not true. He created male and female. And for all of those that are having identity crisis, this word is for you because this is going to show you what the male and the female are made and what we're made to do. This is going to help our relationships with one another and help us have that great relationship with our Christ. Amen. So here we see that God says, so God created man. By the way, that word man is self. It's like we're we're God's self, but he made us in an image, which means a phantom or a shade. So we're God's self here on the earth. Not in the full light and capacity of who he is because he's spirit. We're in the flesh, but we are made in that image. Meaning the potential is there. And he says in the image of God. Now that word God there means plural. So created he him. He him. God the father. God the son. God the son is here. This is Jesus doing all of this. And I hope you are grasping that. In the beginning was the word and the word was God and the word was with God. This is John 1 verse one that I paraphrase there. You can go check it out. But this is Jesus here in the beginning who said let there be light. And there was light. Well, he is the one making God in his image with his father because he him. So they're making him or making us in his image. And then look what he says. He him male and female created in them. So you have God the father, God the son, God the holy spirit. So you have that it's like one God with three functions and now you have male and female who come out of those three functions. So God, you know, I talked about being born again, and I did that in the last message. Again, I'm not going to reiterate that, but that gives you an idea of how we become born again in the spirit. So, we're born of the flesh and then we're born of the spirit. And once you become born of the spirit, you enter into the kingdom of God, which is the ministry here on the earth. Your heavenly realm begins here on the earth when you believe and accept him. Amen. But now, let's look again. I want to look again at how Adam is created and Eve is created because you're going to see the construct of relationship built right into this. So, start with Adam. Uh, Genesis 2:7, "And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and man became a living soul." So God basically just squeezed and formed the mud and the dirt and then he made Adam and he breathed into his nostrils and put life there. Awesome. This is great. This is how man is started. But you see man as himself cannot procreate the way he is created. There are self organisms out there that do self-create self-procreate. But male and female human beings do not self-procreate. You need a man and you need a woman. God says, "Adam needs a helpmate." So, here's how Eve is created. Watch this. Genesis 2:21-24. And the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept. And he took one of his ribs and closed up the flesh instead thereof. And the rib which the Lord God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man. And Adam said, "This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh. She shall be called woman because she was taken out of man. Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother and shall clean cleave or cling and here catch unto his wife and they shall be one flesh." Okay. Now this is where the relationship part comes into existence. Last week, I showed you the visual representation of the man holding his arm. He covers his wife. She's tucked in under here because she's made of the rib and the rib cage is what protects the vital organs of the man. She becomes the protector of him and all of his parts. Now, interesting enough, Adam says he has to leave his parents. He has to loose them in and he he becomes one flesh with her. He marries her and they become one flesh. Now, I want you to catch this here. When he and her, male and female, become one flesh, he lets go of his parents. doesn't say for her to let go of her parents. I want you to catch this because now we're going to develop build a construct of a relationship here of how this works. When the man leaves his parents to cleave to his wife, what belief system does he believe in? if he has to leave his parents because the parents is what instills in us the beliefs that we're going to have later in life. We are greatly influenced by our parents whether it is good or bad. Whether there's a bad parent or a good parent, you are influenced by them. You may say, "I don't ever want to be like my parents." and you may end up being just like them because you don't know how to change that which I'm going to teach here how to change that. So when Adam leaves his parents what is he doing? He has to go back to the original construct God made Adam and God breathed into his nostrils. Adam is of God. So what does the man do? He leaves the parental beliefs. He lets them. He looses them. The influence is still there. But he has to part of his belief system now changes. He becomes a believer of God. And his rock and his foundation becomes the word of God, which is Christ who establishes. This is what the man is set up to be close to God because God breathed the word of God into his nostrils and he became life. because we know that Jesus is life. So understand that life is in the man. And so the man is the one that's going to be going directly to God, not his parents. Now I want you to see how Paul explains this in detail so that we can understand what's going on here. You have man who is going to Christ. Just like Christ is the head of the church, man is going to be head of the woman. Let's go to Ephesians and look at this. Ephesians 5:21-33. So verse uh 21, submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God. Paul is clearly telling us that the two male and female are to submit unto God unto one another. Look, let's read that again. Yourselves one to another in the fear of God. Meaning God comes first. So you have him first. So male and female became one flesh. So remember, if God breathed into Adam's nostrils and you become one flesh with him, God has breathed it into you too, woman. You are now part direct with God under the covering of your man. This is how this works. Look at verse 22. Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands as unto the Lord who is supreme authority. So if you're giving your obedience to the word of God in fear of God as we ought to as Christians, then we're to do this woman at unto our man. See, and if you're praying for your man that, which is what I taught on last week's message, I'm going to tell you, he is going to be the man of God that he needs to be to have his covering over you. You are going to have that perfect relationship because of you and the authority that you've been given to pray over your man and his covering be upon you. But you are one before God. I hope you're seeing the outer shell now of the relationship construct that God has given us. Now look at Ephesians 5:23. For the husband is the head of the wife. So Paul is explaining it here. The husband is the head of the wife even even as Christ is the head of the church and he is the savior deliverer of the body. Okay. Now let me explain this because I think a lot of this has been distorted. I think um what the world is showing us that women have to do everything the man tells her. What this means it's a hierarchy. Okay. Someone has to make the final decision whether we agree or disagree. Again, here's the construct of the relationship establishing man as the final decision maker. But you woman have a lot of influence over your man. You can explain to him. You're praying to to God and you're praying your influence that you have from the word of God in you. But both of you should be seeking God and having God's scripture be upon you. And he makes the final decision. It could be whether to buy a house now, whether to go into ministry. And whether he makes a right or wrong decision, he's the final decision maker. You continue praying for him. You continue to let the Holy Spirit. And I'm going to tell you right now, many times he's going to make the right decision if your relationship is in Christ. Because what's happening is he doesn't have the whole picture. You don't have the whole picture. But because it's his responsibility to make that final decision, Christ, if you guys are in unity, you're following this, God is going to bless you. Meaning it will be the right decision made. So this is how what submitting unto your husband means. Now the word submit I it in the Hebrew uh Greek uh Strong's dictionary it's G5293. By the way the word subject and submit is the same word and it simply means to subordinate to obey be under obedience put under subdue unto subject yourself to if you're subjecting yourself to God and your man is who you're with and and and he's a believer in Christ. Now, I'm talking as being a believer in Christ. We're going to I'm going to show you how to work other areas around this for non-believers and so forth. I'll get to different types of relationships here in a moment, but in the meantime, let's just set the foundation and the construct of what the Bible tells us a relationship should be. That's what I'm focusing on. So, wives, you're submitting, you're obeying your husband, but at the same time, your husband's obeying Christ, and you're obeying Christ. So, the woman has a two-parter. She's not only obeying Christ and his word, she's obeying her husband. And I'm going to tell you right now, woman, you have the authority to go to God and tattle on your husband. You do. If he's the one that's veering off and doing something wrong. And by the way, women, we have such intuition. We know what's going on. This is why we have this gift and this talent because this is what God gave us. We're aware. So, we know what to pray for. And by the way, if you go watch that movie, the war room, you can see what power does, the power of prayer, what prayer does. It is very powerful. You can definitely pray a change in the situation. Now you can see where the relationship rock and the foundation is Christ. He should be in the word of God and she should be in the word of God, but she lets him make the final decisions. She can give him all the advice and everything. But there's something here that shows us something that is very interesting. Now, did I read verse 24? Let me make sure I read verse 24. Therefore, as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands. So, you see, I was just explaining that. And look at what it says in verse 23, the end part of 23. And he is the savior, deliverer of the body. So, you're the one flesh. Now, your flesh when you're not in Christ becomes sick. If you're ever wondering why you get sick from time to time, wonder what you did the weeks before that. Were you cursing yourself? Were you not obeying the word of God? As one flesh, you male and female need to be obeying the word of God. If you've been thinking fleshly thoughts, it is highly likely that the Lord is going to send correction. This is why the woman has the intu in intuition the way she does. But the same thing for a woman. If you're thinking fleshly thoughts and you're not praying for your man, you're the one causing the enemy to come in. You need to humble yourself before Christ. How do you do that? You have to obey Christ. And we're going to show you how to submit here in just a minute. I want you to see that. But see, he's the deliverer of the body. Look at that. And he is the he is the savior deliverer of the body. So, if you want you and your husband to have a healthy relationship, to be one flesh, healthy, and whole, you've got to have Christ in there, which means you're praying Christ into him. He should be praying for you. You guys should be praying to Christ for each other. You guys should be in the word of God because you're now operating as one. And he has to be the head because he has to make the final decisions. Nine out of 10en times the man typically listens to the woman. Every once in a while he'll he'll get a mood based on my experience. Uh he'll get in a mood where he's going to want to do his own thing. But uh and and stand strong and say I really want to do this. Well then great go do that. Nine out of 10 times he gives a woman typically what she wants. Just keep that in mind as you're you're doing this. But remember you are to humble yourself to Christ and to God. Now, what this is showing and and I want to also go this extra step and explain what you're doing here because this is very powerful. Let's go to Proverbs. I want you to see something in Proverbs. Proverbs 25:28. He that hath no rule or control over his own spirit is like a city that is broken down and without walls or protection. Self-ontrol plays a huge role in here. Why? Look at the construct of how he developed this relationship. You're to submit unto your husband. What if he wants to do something you don't want to do? Now, here comes self-control. And not to bury it in bitterness, but you're to have self-control and to humble yourself before the Lord and let it go. which means you got to let it go. Which, by the way, the word let it go is to forgive. So, he wanted to do something you didn't want to do. Let's say it was the dishes. You didn't want to do them, and you're like, "I just need you to do them tonight." And he says, "No." Well, guess what? You're the one who needs to humble yourself in self-control. You do not control him for that matter. He does not control you. The two of you have no control over each other. You have to work together. This is why the woman submits to her husband. So, she's going to have to do the dishes. Just do them and say, "Lord, thank you." And I give you the glory. But pray. Pray that he is more responsive to you. I'm going tell you, there's been nights where we've had stuff like that happen. And in a day or two, there's my husband doing the dishes. is I'm going to do them for you today cuz I see it's very hard on you and I I understand and I respect that. So, I'm going to come and do these for you today. And it will shock you because this is how the relationship has been established. You see, a lot of people get divorced over reasons of, well, he's not doing what I want him to do. He's not being the person I want him to do or the person I expected him to be when I married him. Well, guess what? We all change as we age. You may marry, let's say, at 25 or 30, but I'm going to tell you, that's not the same. You're not the same person when you turn 40 as you were at 30. He's not going to be the same person as as you were at 30. He's going to be different at 40. Going to be different at 50. Especially if Christ is working in him. He's going to change and turn into a man of God. And he may change faster than you. or you may change faster than him. And there could be comments that flare up between you that, oh, you're going to be that holier than that person. You're going to correct me here. They'll do that. I've experienced it. And it's like, well, Lord, I'm just going to give it to you. I humble myself before you. He belongs to you. And I'm sure that he's going to come back and say the same thing. Hey, Christ, she wants you. You know, I'm going have to let you take care of him. But we're one flesh trying to stay in unity before Christ. Now, let's look at this further in Galatians 5. This is how you get self-control. And this is so you're not controlling him or you're not and he's not controlling you because you can't control another person, but you can control yourself. So, look at how this is done. It says in Galatians 5:22-23, but the fruit of the spirit, stop right there, it is a spiritual thing. Remember, when we're born again, this is based on the last message I taught. You're born again in water and spirit. You go under the water baptism, you come up, the dove of the spirit comes upon you, allowing you to work in the ministry, which is by the spirit of God. When you lay hands on the sick, there's nothing powerful or special or magical about your hands. You lay your hands on the sick expecting the spirit to move. And the spirit says, "I got you. let's go ahead and move because that's the act of faith and God works by faith. So the hands do nothing other than being the conduit of faith for Christ to move through and the spirit of God to move through and heal that other person. So you're operating in the spirit. So when you go to operate in self-control, it has to be done by the spirit. So it says, "But the fruit of the spirit is love." That word love there means affection or benevolence. Now you got feelings here and you like my husband will do the dishes from time to time. Do the dishes from time to time. He'll say, "You know what? I got I got these. Let me do this." That's benevolence. He's given me a gift. Oh, hallelujah. He did the dishes. It's the little things in life that we have to appreciate. Amen. Uh joy. But the fruit of the spirit is love. Joy. Joy is a cheerfulness, calm, delight. in the spirit, you will always be calm. And and we need to be calm when we're talking to our spouses because it's so easy for anger to flare up. This is why we need to be asking for God to fill us with the fruit of the spirit. That's how this works. Watch this. Let's look at all of it. Peace, that's prosperity, quietness, rest, longsuffering, meaning you're forbearing, fortitude. Sometimes you have to forebear what your husband is saying and doing because it can be a pain and you're just like but you have the right to tattle on him and give him to God. Say Lord I'm going to be forbearing here. I'm going to be longsuffering because I'm going to act and walk in the fruit of the spirit that you have given me. At the same Lord, at the same time, Lord, I am asking you to work in him and to work in me so that we can become unified in the one flesh that we are to be. So you this is a gift of the Holy Spirit. Gentleness and word gentleness means useful usefulness or moral excellence in character. It's again taking the actions. He does the dishes. You pick up his shoes. You do his laundry. These are things that the household does. He takes out the treasures. It's kind of like we've established these male and female roles, but you can exchange them any time. It's it's not set in stone, but the whole point of it is to have the character of being useful in your relationship, doing what you need to build that relationship. See what he needs in that moment. Help him achieve his needs. Because you know what? When you help him achieve his needs and he helps you achieve your needs, the calmer and the more bound the two of you get closer to one another because you're working now toward each other's needs and it benefits you in the long run. So neat to see that goodness, that's your virtue. Faith, persuasion and credence, you're going to Christ in faith. Meekness, that's your humility. Temperance, self-control. Against such there is no law. So since you can't control him, he can't control you. You need to control yourself. It is a gift of the spirit. How do you do it? Romans 10:9 tells us that when that if you confess Jesus with your mouth, so you say, "Jesus, I confess self-control over me in your name." That's how you get the fruits of the spirit. You say, "Lord, fill me up with your self-control. I need it and I need you to help me with it. I need you to help me with goodness, with my faith. Jesus, Jesus, Jesus." And you're calling upon the name of Jesus with your mouth spoken out loud because you're letting all your witnesses, cloud of witnesses, know what's going on. and see a lot of relationships break up because of you're trying to control him and change him. He's trying to control you and change you because all of a sudden you don't like each other anymore. It's not about liking one another. Now it's about liking yourself and placing self-control on you. Praying for the other. Pray for yourself and pray for him. I'm promising you right now when you're praying, you are entering into the relationship with Christ, which is exactly what you need in order to have a relationship with your man or your woman. This is the construct of a relationship. So prayer is a part of that because you're talking with God. You're he said, "Come just as you are. Take reason with God as Isaiah 1 says, come let us reason together. Talk to him. say, "I'm having trouble here." But also tell him, "Help me and help him." See, when you pray for the two of you, now you're letting Christ in as the rock and the foundation of the two of you together. Hallelujah. Now, let's look at the rest of the relationship. Ephesians 5, we're back to Ephesians 5. Now, in verse 25, husbands, love your wives. That means and that's a social or moral sense obligating obligation love out of duty. You need to love her. So if you're not feeling the moment, get her some flowers. If you're not feeling the moment, do the laundry. Because see, I'm going to tell you that is your s social your moral sense and your social obligation, your duty. Even as Christ also loved the church, what did Christ do? He gave himself for it. You give yourself to the relationship. you do what you need to do to improve it and make it better. And it needs to be coming from both sides. And I promise you, if you're praying for the other, God is working in the other as he's working in you. uh verse uh 26 that he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word that he might present it to himself a glorious church not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing that but that it should be holy and without blameless blemish faultless God is making the one flesh become his image look at that it's to be sanctified cleansed you guys are working as one. This is how the relationship that God established works. This is the construct of it. Look at verse 28. So ought men to love. Again, there's that social moral sense obligation. Their wives as their own bodies. We both shower every day. We both take care of ourselves. We try to eat a little healthy, walk a little more. And if we're not, that's okay. We still want to satisfy who we are. We eat the foods we like. That's just the way that is. But we eat it because we like it. That's of oursel. We're taking care of ourselves. So with that action, that's how you take care of your wives, men. And he that loveth his wife loveth himself. For no man ever yet hated his own flesh, but nourisheth and cherisheth even as the Lord the church. This is so powerful. So as we're set up in the church is how we set up in the home between male and female. It's the construct. So what Jesus does to the church, look what he does for the church in verse 30. For we are members of his body, of his flesh and of his bones. For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother and shall be joined unto his wife and they shall and they too shall be one flesh. This is a great mystery. But I speak concerning Christ and the church. This is why when men are told to leave their parents, they cling to God. They go back to God. The breath of God, the nostrils in him. And that breath is what sustains the new flesh, male and female, in his image. Look at verse 33. Nevertheless, let every one of you in particular so love his wife even as himself and the wife see that she reverence her husband. Boy, I'm going to tell you right now, when you see the power of prayer work in your husband or in your wife, you're going to be like, man, God is real. And you're going to be in awe. In awe to God for what he's doing and in awe to the changes to each other in you. You're going to see that you are not the same person you were 15 years ago, 20 years ago, five minutes ago, before you even listen to this message. Let the anointing of the Holy Spirit change you and work in you simply by asking for self-control and praying for your spouse and having the relationship with Christ because he built this construct for us to be in Christ. Now, I'm trying to keep all these messages to 30 minutes. So, next week I'm going to go ahead and work on the relationships that are broken already. That's what we're going to do. We're going to go into the divorced relationships, the broken relationships, and how to restore them. Since I didn't have time to do that, we're going to do that. So, we will be talking about Eve again next week. Amen. Let's pray. Let's close in a word of prayer. Father God, we thank you for your word and we bless your word and we honor you. We worship you and praise you for you are God and you are King, Lord, and Savior. You belong to me. You belong to us. We belong to you. And I thank you, Father God. And I pray that the enemy does not take this word from our hearts, but that we confess the name of Jesus over our lives. That we ask act on self-control with the spirit of God in our in our hearts and minds that we know to come to you and glorify you and honor you and worship you. In the name of Jesus, we pray. Amen. Amen. God bless you. I'll see you in the next message. Byebye. Home Previous Next

PRAYING THE WILL OF GOD To teach believers how to pray according to the will of God by examining Jesus’ prayer in the Garden of Gethsemane, revealing the tension between the flesh and the spirit, and demonstrating the necessity of aligning our desires with God’s divine plan through Scripture, obedience, and spiritual perseverance. PRAYING THE WILL OF GOD Minister Lisa Kane April 1, 2026 Objective: To teach believers how to pray according to the will of God by examining Jesus’ prayer in the Garden of Gethsemane, revealing the tension between the flesh and the spirit, and demonstrating the necessity of aligning our desires with God’s divine plan through Scripture, obedience, and spiritual perseverance. Synopsis: This teaching explores Jesus’ prayer in the Garden of Gethsemane as the ultimate example of surrendering to the will of God, even in moments of deep distress and impending suffering. Through the Gospel accounts, we see that although Jesus expressed His desire for another way, He ultimately submitted Himself fully to the Father’s will, showing that true prayer is not about changing God’s plan but aligning with it. The study highlights the reality that the flesh resists God’s will while the spirit is willing, emphasizing the importance of watchfulness and prayer in overcoming temptation. It also reveals the intensity of Jesus’ prayer life, demonstrating that spiritual victory often requires perseverance, discipline, and complete dependence on God. By providing key scriptures that define God’s will, this teaching equips believers with practical tools to pray effectively, encouraging them to apply God’s Word over their situations rather than relying on personal desires. Ultimately, it calls Christians to trust God’s greater plan, knowing that obedience to His will leads to spiritual fulfillment, victory, and alignment with His eternal purpose. Inspired Teaching: Matthew 26:36-41 NKJV 36 Then Jesus came with them to a place called Gethsemane, and said to the disciples, “Sit here while I go and pray over there.” 37 And He took with Him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and He began to be sorrowful and deeply distressed. 38 Then He said to them, “My soul is exceedingly sorrowful, even to death. Stay here and watch with Me.” 39 He went a little farther and fell on His face, and prayed, saying, “O My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from Me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as You will.” 40 Then He came to the disciples and found them sleeping, and said to Peter, “What! Could you not watch with Me one hour? 41 Watch and pray, lest you enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.” Matthew 26:42-46 NKJV 42 Again, a second time, He went away and prayed, saying, “O My Father, [h]if this cup cannot pass away from Me unless I drink it, Your will be done.” 43 And He came and found them asleep again, for their eyes were heavy. 44 So He left them, went away again, and prayed the third time, saying the same words. 45 Then He came to His disciples and said to them, “Are you still sleeping and resting? Behold, the hour [i]is at hand, and the Son of Man is being betrayed into the hands of sinners. 46 Rise, let us be going. See, My betrayer is at hand.” Mark 14:32-36 NKJV 32 Then they came to a place which was named Gethsemane; and He said to His disciples, “Sit here while I pray.” 33 And He took Peter, James, and John with Him, and He began to be troubled and deeply distressed. 34 Then He said to them, “My soul is exceedingly sorrowful, even to death. Stay here and watch.” 35 He went a little farther, and fell on the ground, and prayed that if it were possible, the hour might pass from Him. 36 And He said, “Abba, Father, all things are possible for You. Take this cup away from Me; nevertheless, not what I will, but what You will.” Luke 22:39-46 NKJV 39 Coming out, He went to the Mount of Olives, as He was accustomed, and His disciples also followed Him. 40 When He came to the place, He said to them, “Pray that you may not enter into temptation.” 41 And He was withdrawn from them about a stone’s throw, and He knelt down and prayed, 42 saying, “Father, if it is Your will, take this cup away from Me; nevertheless not My will, but Yours, be done.” 43 [f]Then an angel appeared to Him from heaven, strengthening Him. 44 And being in agony, He prayed more earnestly. Then His sweat became like great drops of blood falling down to the ground. 45 When He rose up from prayer, and had come to His disciples, He found them sleeping from sorrow. 46 Then He said to them, “Why do you sleep? Rise and pray, lest you enter into temptation.” Jesus in the garden of Gethsemane before He was arrested, prayed and showed us how He prayed. Let me show you some points about the atmosphere of His praying: 1. He’s in serious distress and knew His death was imminent. (Matthew 26:38, Mark 14:34) 2. He’s showing us that when we come up against distress as He did, we are to be awake and pray to avoid ‘entering’ temptation. Jesus was tempted to the point that He asked our Father if there was another way but ‘decided’ to follow God’s will and not His own; and He proclaimed it in His prayer. (Matthew 26:39, Mark 14:36, Luke 22:42) 3. The disciples were asleep because of sorrow. (Luke 22:45) a. Sorrow makes us weary and sleepy. It keeps us from fighting the good fight in the thick of the fight. 4. He prayed three times: (Matthew 26:42, 44; Mark 14:39, 41) 5. Luke shows us that His prayer caused Him physical distress in which an angel strengthened Him, and that He sweated blood. (Luke 22:44) a. Jesus prayed so hard that He sweated blood. That’s incredible. His spirit was manifesting and trying to break out of His flesh before He got to the cross. 6. Jesus, being the Son of Man at this point, the Word that became Flesh was able to stay awake and pray whereas everyone else slept. (Matthew 26:40, 43; Mark 14:37, 41; Luke 22:45) a. He didn’t let sorrow or even His impending death detour Him from praying. He kept the course and was obedient to the Father’s will even unto death. 7. The gospel of John didn’t talk about the prayer in the Garden of Gethsemane. He showed what Jesus prayed before He entered the Garden of Gethsemane. (John 18:1 and all of John 17:1-26) John 18:1 NKJV When Jesus had spoken these words, He went out with His disciples over the Brook Kidron, where there was a garden, which He and His disciples entered. John 17:1-26 NKJV Jesus spoke these words, lifted up His eyes to heaven, and said: “Father, the hour has come. Glorify Your Son, that Your Son also may glorify You, 2 as You have given Him authority over all flesh, that He [a]should give eternal life to as many as You have given Him. 3 And this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent. 4 I have glorified You on the earth. I have finished the work which You have given Me to do. 5 And now, O Father, glorify Me together [b]with Yourself, with the glory which I had with You before the world was. 6 “I have [c]manifested Your name to the men whom You have given Me out of the world. They were Yours, You gave them to Me, and they have kept Your word. 7 Now they have known that all things which You have given Me are from You. 8 For I have given to them the words which You have given Me; and they have received them, and have known surely that I came forth from You; and they have believed that You sent Me. 9 “I pray for them. I do not pray for the world but for those whom You have given Me, for they are Yours. 10 And all Mine are Yours, and Yours are Mine, and I am glorified in them. 11 Now I am no longer in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to You. Holy Father, keep[d] through Your name those whom You have given Me, that they may be one as We are. 12 While I was with them [e]in the world, I kept them in [f]Your name. Those whom You gave Me I have kept; and none of them is [g]lost except the son of [h]perdition, that the Scripture might be fulfilled. 13 But now I come to You, and these things I speak in the world, that they may have My joy fulfilled in themselves. 14 I have given them Your word; and the world has hated them because they are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. 15 I do not pray that You should take them out of the world, but that You should keep them from the evil one. 16 They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. 17 Sanctify[i] them by Your truth. Your word is truth. 18 As You sent Me into the world, I also have sent them into the world. 19 And for their sakes I sanctify Myself, that they also may be sanctified by the truth. 20 “I do not pray for these alone, but also for those who [j]will believe in Me through their word; 21 that they all may be one, as You, Father, are in Me, and I in You; that they also may be one in Us, that the world may believe that You sent Me. 22 And the glory which You gave Me I have given them, that they may be one just as We are one: 23 I in them, and You in Me; that they may be made perfect in one, and that the world may know that You have sent Me, and have loved them as You have loved Me. 24 “Father, I desire that they also whom You gave Me may be with Me where I am, that they may behold My glory which You have given Me; for You loved Me before the foundation of the world. 25 O righteous Father! The world has not known You, but I have known You; and these have known that You sent Me. 26 And I have declared to them Your name, and will declare it, that the love with which You loved Me may be in them, and I in them.” Now, let me show you the outcome of Jesus’ praying the Will of God: 1. Jesus didn’t get what He asked for – another way (Matthew 26:42). He asked for another way but included that God’s will be done. And per God, there was no other way, and Jesus went to the cross. He knew that He would be separated from God when sin was placed upon Him on the cross and He had never experienced separation from God before that moment. Simply put, it hurt more than just physical pain. a. (Psalm 22:1 NKJV “My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me? Why are You so far from helping Me, And from the words of My groaning?”; Matthew 27:46; Mark 15:34). He had to go through the situation. 2. Praying the will of God goes against the flesh. The spirit is willing but the flesh is weak. Our flesh will tell us to pray in a way that ‘feels’ right but in reality, we need to pray God’s will over the situation. a. Many people become confused because of this. They don’t know what God’s will is. Here’s a list of scriptures that you can pray over your situation(s): i. John 6:40 NKJV 40 And this is the will of Him who sent Me, that everyone who sees the Son and believes in Him may have everlasting life; and I will raise him up at the last day.” ii. 2 Peter 3:9 NKJV 9 The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward [a]us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance. iii. 1 Thessalonians 4:3 NKJV 3 For this is the will of God, your sanctification: that you should abstain from sexual immorality; iv. 1 Thessalonians 5:18 NKJV 18 in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. v. 1 Peter 2:15 NKJV 15 For this is the will of God, that by doing good you may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men— vi. Romans 12:2 NKJV 2 And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God. 3. Let’s put this into practice. Let’s say that you or someone is dealing with temptation. Jesus clearly told us (his disciples) to pray unless we enter into temptation: Matthew 26:41 41 Watch and pray, lest you enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.” a. To avoid temptation, you need to stop what you’re doing and start praying. And I imagine this could be very hard on the flesh…hmmm, just like it was hard on Jesus’ body (sweating blood). But remember, an angel is there with you just like Jesus to strengthen you. Praying the will of God over your life means you need to know who God is, and the scriptures associated with His will. He has a plan that we need to align with. Jesus had to align with God’s plan in that a man who knew no sin must shed His blood for those who have sinned. And Jesus was obedient. He did it and He is now the King of Glory. So, every time we pray God’s will over us, we’re praying and applying His prophecy and plans ahead of our own ‘wants’. Remember, our needs are already met. Luke 12:24 NKJV 24 Consider the ravens, for they neither sow nor reap, which have neither storehouse nor barn; and God feeds them. Of how much more value are you than the birds? And let us remember Daniel 9:24 24 “Seventy [a]weeks are determined For your people and for your holy city, To finish the transgression, [b]To make an end of sins, To make reconciliation for iniquity, To bring in everlasting righteousness, To seal up vision and prophecy, And to anoint [c]the Most Holy. Daniel 9:24 is God’s overall plan…so when we pray, let’s remember His plan and apply His plan to our prayers. Previous Next Home
