HEALING YOUR SOUL AND BODY The objective of this message is to teach believers how forgiveness, the power of their words, and a relationship with the Lord directly affect the healing of both soul and body. It aims to reveal the biblical principles that show how harboring unforgiveness and speaking curses can manifest in sickness, while releasing forgiveness, speaking blessings, and walking in the Spirit bring healing, restoration, and long life. < Back HEALING YOUR SOUL AND BODY Minister Lisa Kane October 6, 2023 Objective: The objective of this message is to teach believers how forgiveness, the power of their words, and a relationship with the Lord directly affect the healing of both soul and body. It aims to reveal the biblical principles that show how harboring unforgiveness and speaking curses can manifest in sickness, while releasing forgiveness, speaking blessings, and walking in the Spirit bring healing, restoration, and long life. Synopsis: In this teaching, Lisa Kane opens with Matthew 6:14–15 to establish the connection between forgiveness and healing. Forgiveness is not about securing eternal salvation—that comes by calling on the name of Jesus—but rather about releasing bitterness and letting go of offenses so the soul can be healed, which then manifests as health in the body. Holding onto unforgiveness leads to hardened hearts and even physical sickness, while forgiveness opens the door to freedom, peace, and healing. Lisa stresses that healing requires a choice: to let go of offenses, to bless instead of curse, and to replace negative words with the fruit of the Spirit—love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faith, humility, and self-control. Scriptures such as Psalm 91, Proverbs 18:14, and Isaiah 53 show that God promises long life, deliverance, and wholeness to those who walk in His presence. The message also highlights the importance of self-control over one’s words, for the spirit of a person can sustain or prolong infirmity by speaking curses. By walking in the Spirit, believers can overcome the lusts of the flesh, stop sending mixed messages to the spiritual realm, and live in alignment with God’s promises. The teaching closes with a powerful prayer of repentance, forgiveness, and declaration of healing, encouraging listeners to receive God’s benefits, walk in the fruit of the Spirit, and manifest divine health in their souls and bodies. Inspired Teaching: Hello and welcome to the House of Faith Ministries. I'm Lisa Kaine. I'm recording this on Friday, October 6, 2023. Welcome. This message is called Healing Your Soul and Body. Let's open up in a word of prayer. Father God, we thank you for your word. We ask that you open up our ears, eyes, hearts, and minds to see your word, to receive your word, to believe your word, and to trust your word, Father God, that we may live by your word, so that our souls are healed and that our bodies manifest that healing. Thank you, Father God, for the glory of your presence, your anointing, Holy Spirit. Thank you that you speak eloquently through these lips and uh move me out of the way if you need to, Lord, in the glorious name of Jesus. Thank you, Father God. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Let's open up in our opening scripture here. Let's go to our opening scripture. Healing your soul and body. We're going to start here in Matthew 6:14-15. For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly father will also forgive you. But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your father forgive your trespasses. This scripture tends to be taken into context that you would lose your salvation or that you can't get saved because you won't forgive someone. And the reality of this is that you have a choice to forgive or not to forgive with this scripture. Meaning, if you choose to forgive, you can heal your soul and you can heal your body. If you choose not to forgive, your your soul and your body is going to be in a lot of pain and you end up going to your death very painful and very early. Uh there's principles and scriptures that uh show this and this is what I'm going to be teaching on today so that your soul and your body could be healed. Uh because it is a choice and it's up to you of whether you want to forgive or not. But this is you don't have to forgive someone for your eternity. Anyone who calls upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. You'll see the scripture as we come into it later on in this teaching. So that has nothing to do with this. This has to do with you, the individual, and whether you're going to forgive others for your healing. Now, there's two parts to this, and it's very, very powerful, and I'm going to try to touch on both parts. I want you to see that you can do this for yourself, but you can also do this for those around you. I've taught before and it's it's probably been a year and a half, maybe a couple years now, uh where I taught that you're the priest or the priestess over your home, over your um family, co-workers, and such. This is another way to change the individuals around you by interceding for them and allowing the Holy Spirit to do his job. So, I'm going to uh take a moment here and I'm going to ask you a series of questions because this is where it changes you. And if you want it, this is for you. If you don't want it, click off this video and move on. Hit the pause or hit the X and get out because seriously, this is so powerful. It's going to change you. And and I'm going to show you how it works. So the question I have is, do you want to live a long life? Do you want to be healed? Do you know that there are some people who don't want to be healed? It's a conversation piece. It's a great conversation topic. They don't, you know, it's it's something to go talk to somebody about. Well, let me let you in on a little secret. There are other topics to talk about. So, do you want to be healed? For that matter, do you believe you can be healed? You see, we live in a generation where we were taught that we can call the doctor's office, go get a prescription, get a pill, and the symptom is taking place. And if you go long enough with it, all they do is double the pill, make it stronger. They're only dealing with the symptom. They're not dealing with the root. So, do you want to be healed? Do you believe you can be healed? Do you believe the word of God? Do you believe that Jesus Christ is the son of God? This is going to play a very important role here. I want you to understand that. So, let's go back to our opening scripture here. I want you to see something here. As you know, what I'm doing now is I'm teaching through the King James version. So, anything in parentheses and italicize is something I added, which is the definition of the word that's bolded. So, that's how I'm going to teach this. For if ye forgive. So that word forgive there means to send forth, let go, release. So if for if ye forgive men their trespasses, that word trespass means a side slip or something of a fault. A fault. Look at this. It's unintentional or willful. So for if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly father will also forgive you, release you. But if you forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your father forgive your trespasses. Notice the key word here. This is how I know it's different. Trespasses, a fault or a slip. So when you confess Jesus as your Lord and Savior, you're forgiven. Your eternity is set. It says anyone who calls upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. I will show you that in three different scriptures that I have found thus far. And you will see how powerful that is. Because anyone, a murderer, a liar, a thief, anyone, you committed adultery, anyone can call upon the name of the Lord and be saved. That's your eternity. Now, if you want your healing, you've got to forgive the faults of those who faulted you. Whether you're right or wrong, just because you're justified and you're right doesn't mean you don't forgive. You got to let it go. You see the meaning here? Let go. That's what forgiveness is. You got to let it go. What happens, and this is scientifically proven, is when you're harboring hate, bitterness, envy, because you're not forgiving, you're not letting go. What happens is you're holding on to it, and you it hardens your physical cells in your body. And those cells that tighten up and hold like that, and you continue to hold it like that for 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year, guess what happens? Those hardened cells turn into cancer. They manifest into that. So this is why we have to let go. And the word for let go is to forgive. So it doesn't matter whether someone's there or not. You just need to do it vocally. Let's continue on and and see how the scriptures show us this. We're in Psalm 91:15-16. This is the psalm where you dwell in the secret place with the Lord. So relationship is key here. says, "He shall this is all the benefits of of living in his shadow, if you will, because you're you're in a relationship with the Lord." He says, "He," talking about you, "shall call upon me, him, God, and I will answer him." By the way, the King James version does not put, God, uh, he, him in capital letters. It's the only downfall about using the King James version, but I do like getting to the root meaning that is closer to the intent of the original written context. He you shall call upon me God and I God will answer you him. I will be with him in trouble. I will deliver. Look at that word deliver means pull off or draw out him and honor him. We'll get to that in a minute. With long life will I satisfy have enough him and show him my salvation. You who have a relationship with the Lord should not ever be sick. You were given long life. Look at you can become an elder. You can become like King David. He was old, so old that he had to have a they brought in like a concubine, a virgin to lay with him at night to keep him warm. Her body heat kept him warm. But he was blessed living out a very old life. That is a promise. Meaning he didn't get sick. He didn't get cancer. He didn't get heart disease. He didn't get high cholesterol or diabetes. He lived a long life because he had a relationship with the Lord and because he let go. So, and you know, he went through a lot of troubles. You can read a lot of his psalms. You can read a lot of his life in um uh the the Kings and the Chronicles in Samuel. you can find out who this man is. And he lived to be a long life. That is the kind of life we should be living. So if you're living that life, here's the most amazing part. You never have to get sick. And I've been teaching on this. So I want to show you how to do this. Now, let's delve into this a little bit better, deeper. So you call upon him. He will answer you. He will help you in trouble. He will be with you in trouble. Look at this. He's going to deliver. He's going to draw you out. Honored. Look at that. Be rich. David was rich. Abraham was rich. Lot was rich. I'm telling you, God will prepare your heart and mind it to be rich. If that's the calling he has in your life, if he wants you to have money so that you're ministering and giving it in the right key places, he will make you rich. But I promise you, it's not rich for you to uh gorge on, if you will. He He's not going to make you rich to the point where you're hottie. He won't do that to you. He prepares your heart for it. But he honors you. And he rich that word honor there means be rich. Let's read it without the the extra meanings here. He shall call upon me and I will answer him. I will be with him in trouble. I will deliver him and honor him. Then he says, "With long life will I satisfy." That word satisfy. Satisfaction is having enough. So even if you're given all of that richness, all of God's money, he prepares your heart where you know you're satisfied and it doesn't matter in your mind, I'm going to give you a million dollars. I'm going to give you $10,000. He it doesn't matter. This is how he prepares your heart for his richness. satisfy him and show him my salvation saved deliverance. You see that is what God wants to do for us. That is the blessing we have. You go to that first verse in that Psalm 91 says and uh who you seek him and dwell in the secret place with the Lord. So this also continues on a relationship with the Lord. I've been teaching this for years now. So get into the presence of the Lord and find out who he is and receive those blessings. Meaning you should not be sick. You should not be suffering in the name of Jesus the son of God. Proverbs 18:14. Look at what we do to ourselves. The spirit of a man will sustain his infirmity, but a wounded spirit who can bear. Oh my word. This is so applicable. Remember I asked in the beginning, do you want to be healed? And some people it's a conversation piece and a topic. You want to be healed and what's happening is you want to be healed. You you have an okay relationship with God. You go to church. You actually went to the elders and got prayed over but nothing happened. Why? Because your spirit, your breath, your spoken words of a man, of you sustain, keep him in his infirmity. Every time you talk about it, you you come back to it, you go back into the infirmity. Oh, I got to go back to the doctor. I'm feeling it again. Oh, it's coming back. Oh, I ran out of my pills. I Oh, you keep yourself in your infirmity. You went to the elders to get prayed expecting a miracle, but because of your words, you're sending a double message to the heavenly realm and it freezes them. They cannot heal your soul. You do not get your healing because you're sending mixed messages because you're sustaining your infirmity with your spirit, your breath, with your words. And look at this. It says but a wounded spirit who can bear. You see the soul becomes wounded and you become weak. You can't even carry you barely pray but you continue to curse yourself and then you cannot carry which when you're that weak and you cannot carry who do you give it to? You got to release it so he carries it and bears it for you. Look at this in first Peter 1:9. receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls. This is what Jesus did on the cross. He saved our souls. So, how does this work? Look at this. Receiving, you have to take care of your end goal, your faith. You have to take care of it. You saw in the previous scripture, it is your spirit that is keeping you in the infirmity. So, you have to tend to your faith. You have to take the action into your faith. to your end goal to have your faith that moral conviction for the salvation which is the rescue and the safety of your souls. So you see what's happening here. You have to set up the end goal. What do you want? Do you really want to be healed? Because you're sending mixed messages because I'm and the church is doing this too. You see what's happening is you're not seeing the power of God moving in the church. And there's actually teachers, preachers that taught that, well, that was done 2,000 years ago. It doesn't happen anymore. I call hogwash on that. Seriously, we still have healings. And I am a walking testimony of healing. I'm telling you, I used to have heart palpitations. I don't have that anymore. I put down insulin. I don't take that anymore. I don't have heart disease or anything of that nature because I started blessing my body. I went to the Lord. I asked and I'm asking him to reveal because I'm also now interceding for others. So for me to become a very good intercessor under the anointing of the Holy Spirit. I have to let go. And then I have to do it on behalf of those around me, which is the second half of this. If you're wondering why your whole family has drama, guess what? You're the lynch pin of your entire family. That drama should be gone by you. Tend to your end goal, to your faith. You need to be doing this. You have to get that self-control, a gift of the Holy Spirit. We're going to be talking about that. Let's continue to see what Jesus says about this in Matthew 10:1. And when he had called unto him his 12 disciples, he gave them power against unclean spirits to cast them out and to heal all manner of sickness and all manner of disease. To heal he had to cast out demons, which means you are influenced by demonic activity, which is what is caus you're saying these words and you're being influenced by the demonic activity sending the mixed message. You're going to the elders. You're getting prayed, but nothing is happening. You prayed, nothing is happening because mixed messages. But look at what Jesus did. And by the way, we're all disciples of Jesus Christ. Says he gave them power. Look what that word power is. Privilege. You have the privilege to heal your soul, which manifests to the healing of your body. Because once you deal with the unclean spirits, the demonic activity, it goes away and you start speaking blessings, your body manifests the healing because it now softens. You're in peace and you are under his covering in his safety. You are saved and that means sickness melts away. Oh, so powerful. So awesome. You have the privilege against look at this demonic spirits. Unclean spirits is um it's a it's like a swamp. It's dirty. It is diseasefested and you're letting it in with your words and you're sending mixed messages which is why you're not getting healed. You should be living to be 115 or 120 years old easily, but your words are what's aging you and killing you quickly. And look at this. He says, you have the privilege to cast them out. Look at what that word cast them out is. Eject, bring forth, pluck, pull, take out. Guess what? You can pluck it and pull it out of all of the drama in your family. You can pluck and pull it out of your own body. I'm no way am I going to say these words anymore. Repent. Renounce. Oh, now you're seeing the key to healing your soul, which then manifests into the healing of your body. And look, cuz see when you cast them out, it heals. What? Look. Oh, look at this word healing. Heal. Wait upon adore God. Reveal. I adore you, God. See, when you put God first and you're saying, God, I adore you, you're saying, heal my soul. And he does says all manner of sickness. Look at this word sickness. That means malady, infirmity. It also means disease. And then at the end of the scripture, and all manner of disease, this word disease means incapacity, weakness. Once you start saying the words we're going to say here very shortly, we're going to do a prayer together. I want you to see and know and understand that you will no longer be incapacitated and you will no longer be weak. Hallelujah. And you will be healed completely. So now we got to look at the fruits of the spirit because this is where things get very interesting because what we have to do now is replace those words with the words of the fruit of the spirit or with the spirit himself manifesting his gifts in us which is his fruit. Galatians 5, we're going to read verses 16- 23. I'll be breaking this up here in groups. This I say then, walk in the spirit and ye shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh. Pause. The walk. The word walk there is to live. Meaning every time you're in your home, you've got a few minutes. Lord, I love you. I praise you. I thank you. And I'm giving you the glory. And you also set aside tend to your end goal. You set aside a time where you say, I'm interceding on my behalf, Father God. I am praying over me. And we're going to get to the script uh the words we're going to pray. And you do this every time you go to the grocery store. Lord, I can't find something. I need your help. You see, you you're building a relationship with him. He's with you everywhere. You go to him first. Matthew 6:33. Seek first the kingdom of God and all these things will be added to you. You see, you have to establish the relationship, the the foundation, your tending to your goal in the in your life. And that's why he says you got to walk. You live in the spirit. And ye shall not fulfill complete the lust. What is that word lo l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l lust. It's a longing of the flesh. You long to be like a king and queen. You fantasize about it. You long to have all that money in the world. You long to have dominion and power over people. You long to bully them. you see you long. That's the flesh. So, we're clearly identifying the flesh. And he's saying if you walk, remember the the end tend to your end goal, have that relationship. You walk in the spirit, you live in the spirit, you can control that longing and you will not not have that. Let's go to verse 17. For the flesh lusted, look at it. to set the heart upon. What's more important to you? Your eternity, your healing. Do you really want to be healed? This is why I was asking the questions. You have to set your heart upon this. Do you really want to be healed? Then you've got to set your heart upon it. But your flesh is setting its heart upon against the spirit. It It's like you forget to set aside, tend to your end goal. You forget to spend time with the Lord. You got busy. you, everyone called you in your family. It was like you set this date. You go to do it and all hell breaks loose. All the disturbances come against you. That's when you have to say, "Satan, get below my feet in the name of Jesus because I'm tending to my end goal and I am moving forward and living by the spirit and I'm setting this time aside for him." You see, you have to take authority over that. You got to speak the words. So the flesh lust, it sets upon against the spirit and the spirit against the flesh. These are contrary. They're opposite the one to the other so that ye cannot do the things that you would. What was I saying earlier? You're sending mixed messages. You're letting your flesh I'm going to go to the elders and get prayed for. But if you keep bringing it up and keep talking about it, yeah, I have C. When you say these words, you're cursing your body further and further instead of saying something to the effect of, "I bless my body. I don't have cancer anymore." And you keep saying that and I promise you there will be a breakthrough in this because it is your words because you have to send the right message to the heavenly realm to have that broken through for the power and the anointing to move forward in your life, in those around you, in your church. because we got to bring back the the power of the Holy Spirit. Verse 18, but if you be led of the spirit, you're not under the law. The law, the ten commandments, no longer applies to us. Because see, that had to do with the flesh. Now we're dealing with the spirit. This is why it's very important that you go live in the spirit. Meaning, you need to set time aside. Just just because you don't kill anyone. If you said it in your mind, I'm man, I wish that guy was dead. Be so much easier. You already killed somebody. May not have done it physically, but you spoke the curse against him. That comes to haunt you because God holds you responsible for that. That's what you have to forgive. That's what you have to let go. It is those sayings that are cursing your body and manifesting into cancer, blood disease, diabetes, heart disease, high cholesterol. All of that stuff is coming in because of words you said. Thought or you may not even say you may have just thought God holds you responsible because we're not dealing with the law. We're dealing with the spirit. Now, this is to the healing of your soul and body. Do you want to be healed? then you're going to need some self-control. We're going to be showing that here in just a moment. Look at this. Now, the works of the flesh are manifest. The word manifest means shining or apparent. By the way, if I see you suffering with cancer, I now know that you are dealing with some sort of unforgiveness, some sort of curse that is against you, some sort of anger, envy, jealousy, anything like that is against you because you're dealing with that. You haven't let it go. So, it's apparent. It's shiny. I can see it. And and of course others can see it too, but some may not recognize what it is. But I recognize it only because I spend time with the Lord and I live in the Lord. You will do that too when you tend to your end goal and put God as your priority in your life and set apart time to live with him. Uh now the works of the flesh are manifest. Which are these? Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, that word variance means to quarrel, emulations, there's your jealousy, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, envys, drunkenness, rebelling, that's causing riots, and such like of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God. The kingdom of God is healing of the soul. You cannot be healed if you continue to walk in adultery, fornication, uncleanness. You see, you pleasure the self before you set a tithe and tend to your end goal with the spirit and live for God. Your priorities are mixed and that's why you're not getting healed. You're sending those mixed signals. Galatians five. Now we're in verse 22. But the fruit plucked. I love that. Of the spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, that's moral excellence, goodness, faith, meekness, humility, temperance, self-control. Against such there is no law. This is now the spirit. This is the things you should manifest in your spirit. one, you should be manifesting good health. You should be healthy all the way through. So, what you do is you're going to pluck out the fruit. You're going to pluck the fruit from the Holy Spirit. I'm going to get some love and I'm going to take a bite. I'm going to partake of the Holy Spirit's love, joy, peace. These are the words you say instead of, "Oh, have you heard about my cancer problem lately?" You see what I'm saying? You don't have cancer. You say, "Have you noticed how much the Lord has given me to love? He is building my love. He is building my joy. I'm not grieving anymore. I'm letting it go." And when you share the testimonies with others, you're speaking the words. You're telling the spirit realm, you're telling the spirit, you're telling God, you're telling angels, you're telling demons. You are manifesting the fruit of the spirit which is the healing to your soul and your body cuz there it's not the law. It's not part of the law. It's part of the spirit and it begins with the relationship with the Lord and living for him. Look it now Psalm 103 2 through3. Bless the Lord, oh my soul, and forget not all his benefits. Who forgiveth all thine iniquities? whose who health all who health all thy diseases. We'll read this here with the definitions in just a moment. But do you see the first word here? Bless that is kneel and adore. It starts with humbling yourself before the Lord and repent. Renounce you're putting the Lord first. You're making you're tending to your end goal. Your end goal is to be healed. You want to be healed. Your end goal is to have this body walk in good health. Well, it has to mean you have to take care of your soul and then it will manifest into the flesh. It starts with humbling. Kneel, adore. That's blessing God. Bless the Lord. Kneel before the Lord. Oh my soul. Your soul is your vitality, your consciousness. You see, even in your weakest moment, oh Lord, I bless you. You can even whisper. He hears you. He hears every word you say. And forget not all his benefits. Benefits are treatments. Do you see this? The word treatments is benefits. That's to the healing of your body. You get treatment from cancer. You can call it uh what do they call that? Radiation treatment. How about God treatment? I went and got some God treatment today. And boy, I adore him even more because he healed me. Do you see the manifestation of this? This is awesome. Who forgiveth, he pardons all thine iniquities. You see, your iniquities must be pardoned. Must be forgiven in order for the manifestation of your soul to be healed and your body to be walking in good health. Look at this. All thine iniquities in is perversity. You're sending mixed messages to God. You're living in the world and you're living in God. You're trying to do both. No, you have to set him first as a priority. Who? Health. I love that because the the King James version uses the word health here and it is to mend or by stitching. It's a cure. It's a physician like a doctor who the doctor god doctor all thine diseases which are malady grievous it's sorrow look at that he is sending the physician him to deal with your grief your sorrow any sicknesses any diseases that is the treatment that did you see that that's the benefits forget not all that's his benefit that's his treatment for you you get to have that when you humble yourself and you get into that forgiveness. Now, when you don't, watch this. Psalm 32:es 3-5. When I kept silence, my bones waxed old through my roaring all the day long. Stop. Oh, watch this. This is how this is what you're doing right now. You're not healed right now. You're going to be, but you're not. I want you to see this. You're going to be says, "When I kept silence, look at this. To be deaf, dumb." What is it that we die? Most of lack of knowledge. Hosea, you can go read this. I think it's 46 or 64. But you die from lack of knowledge because you're dumb. You're deaf. You're you're not hearing the word of God because you're not opening up the Bible to see the word. You're not putting aside. You're not living in him. You're not making him a priority. You're sending mixed messages. And I'm talking to the believer, the unbeliever. We just got to start with forgiveness and then we'll move on from there. But you got to live and put God first in your life. That's very important. But look what happens when you keep silent because you're you're being deaf. You're being dumb. Says, "My bones wax old. They get frail and they decay. They're aging, but they're aging faster." And this is why people die in their 30s, 40s, 50s, especially believers in Christ, because they're not letting go. And he says, "Through my roaring, your words grumbling." Oh man, I got to go back to that darn doctor. these bones. They just I hate these bones. I wish I had other B. You see what happens when you're speaking that against your body. You just cursed yourself and you've been doing it all this time. Well, I'm telling you, you can stop because forget not all his benefits, his treatments. You live with him first. You humble yourself. We're going to say some a prayer here all the day long because you do this all the time. all the day long. Verse four, for day and night thy hand was heavy upon me. My moisture is turned into the drought of summer. Look at the hand here. Hand is your power and direction. So God's power and direction was burdensome upon him because he couldn't do what God was asking him to do because he kept cursing himself, kept saying the words. And in fact, it was so it was manifesting so much that the moisture in his body dried up. That's um uh insulin, diabetes. That's diabetes. What happens to your skin? It gets real dry when you're not absorbing the insulin from your body from whatever the foods your cells are are not getting it through. By the way, take some Celtic salt. Seriously, just take a pinch of it three times a day and drink a lot of water with it. Your insulin and your um the magnesium in there goes into the cells. It opens it up and allows your cells to draw all that in and it just stabilizes. God gives us all the herbs of the earth, salt of the earth, everything he gives us to heal our bodies. Can you believe that? So, we can be healed and living already through the herbs. So here he's saying though moisture is turned into drought. It's because God is he's sending mixed messages and God is being heavy on him. He's telling him I can lift this off of you but you got to let it go. Oh that is absolutely powerful. Verse uh five now I acknowledge my sin. So here now he said I was dried I dried up had diabetes whatever it is because of what he was saying. He wasn't letting go. Now he's saying, "You were heavy on me, Lord. Listen. I'm going to acknowledge my sin unto thee, and mine iniquity have I not hid. I said, I will confess my transgressions unto the Lord. Thou forgavest the iniquity of my sins. Say li." Oh, this man, he's saying, "In my testimony, I gave it to God. I confess it." Look at how he says it. He knew by seeing. He saw the iniquity. He saw what his flesh was doing. He says, "Uhoh, I acknowledge. I see what's happening." So that's my sin. It's an offense. It's a habit I've had. And look what he says unto thee. I sinned against you, heavenly father. And I was habitually doing it. And mine iniquity, the perversity of what I had in me is what was called. I was sending mixed messages. I partially live for God or I wasn't living for God at all, but I was living in perversity, iniquity, and that was causing me to get sick. And he says, "But now I have not hid it." And look, I will confess. Look what that word confess means. This is Old Testament. Hold out revere or worship with extended hands. Oh heavenly father, I worship you. I confess my sins. Open hands. This is very powerful. Well, you guys got to get this. My transgressions, I'm rebelling against you, Father God. And I'm opening my hand saying, "I'm not going to do it anymore. I'm not hiding it from you. I'm letting go of the mixed messages. I'm letting go of the curses that I've been speaking uh my transgressions unto the Lord. I'm letting go, giving it to you, the Lord. and you forgave. You lifted you ease the iniquity of my sin. He's still aging, but he's no longer dry. He's in good health because see, the Bible says everyone's appointed to die once. That's Hebrews 9:27. Well, then we're going to die, but we don't have to die that early. We get to live a ripe old age because of his benefits, because we repent. Look at Romans 10:13, Acts 2:21, and Joel 2:32. This is what I was saying at the beginning of the message. For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. That word whosoever, anyone declining, that's anyone. You killed someone, you can call on the name of the Lord. You lied, you're cursing yourself, you can call upon the name of the Lord. Whatever sin, it doesn't matter. You live in sin. Everybody lives in sin. Everyone has fallen short of the glory of God. Well, here it says, "Anyone declining shall call upon." You're entitled to invoke. What? Are you entitled to invoke the name of the Lord? You're a sinner and you get to say, "I call on the name of Jesus, the son of God, and I will be saved. I'm safe and delivered." This is so powerful. It is said three times in the scripture. Acts 2:21, "And it shall come to pass that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved." Those words mean the exact same words in verse 13 of Romans 10. And look at Joel 2:32. This is the Old Testament. And it shall come to pass that whosoever, look at the whole, t Previous Next Home

THE SEVEN SEALS AND THE CHURCH AGE The objective of this study is to provide a clear biblical understanding of the Seven Seals in the book of Revelation by presenting them as the spiritual progression of the Church Age rather than solely future events. Through Scripture, this teaching aims to reveal how the seals represent unfolding spiritual forces—deception, war, economic control, and death—that have been at work throughout history and are moving humanity toward the fulfillment of God’s prophetic plan. The goal is to equip believers with discernment, helping them recognize the signs of the times, remain spiritually prepared, and walk in confidence knowing that Jesus Christ, the Lamb, is in control of every stage of history. THE SEVEN SEALS AND THE CHURCH AGE Minister Lisa Kane April 9, 2026 Objective: The objective of this study is to provide a clear biblical understanding of the Seven Seals in the book of Revelation by presenting them as the spiritual progression of the Church Age rather than solely future events. Through Scripture, this teaching aims to reveal how the seals represent unfolding spiritual forces—deception, war, economic control, and death—that have been at work throughout history and are moving humanity toward the fulfillment of God’s prophetic plan. The goal is to equip believers with discernment, helping them recognize the signs of the times, remain spiritually prepared, and walk in confidence knowing that Jesus Christ, the Lamb, is in control of every stage of history. Synopsis: This study explores the Seven Seals of Revelation as a spiritual timeline that has been unfolding throughout the Church Age, revealing the unseen forces shaping world events. Beginning with the opening of the seals by Jesus Christ, the Lamb who alone is worthy, the teaching walks through each seal as a progression of spiritual influence—starting with deception through the spirit of antichrist, followed by increasing global conflict, economic control, and widespread death. As the study continues, it highlights the suffering and persecution revealed in the fifth seal, the divine intervention shown in the sixth, and the transition marked by the seventh seal, all pointing toward the culmination of God’s plan. Rather than presenting prophecy as distant or future-only, this teaching brings clarity by showing how these forces are already active in the world today. It encourages believers to view current events through a biblical lens, replacing fear with awareness and strengthening their readiness for the return of Jesus Christ. Inspired Teaching: Introduction In our previous studies, we established two foundational truths: 1. Revelation unfolds in two realms—physical and spiritual. 2. Jesus Christ is the center of all prophecy. Now we move into one of the most misunderstood parts of Revelation: The Seven Seals. Many believe the seals represent future judgments during the tribulation. But what if the seals reveal something already in motion? What if they are showing us the spiritual progression of the Church Age—from the time of Christ until His return? To understand this, we must remember: Revelation is not only showing us what will happen. It is revealing what has been happening all along—behind the scenes. The Lamb Opens the Seals Revelation 6:1 “Now I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals…” Only Jesus, the Lamb who was slain, is worthy to open the seals. This is important. The unfolding of history is not random. It is being revealed—and permitted—by Christ Himself. The seals are not chaos. They are controlled revelation. A Spiritual Timeline, Not Just Future Events: the seals are shown from a spiritual perspective. They reveal forces that move through time, shaping the world and preparing it for the return of Jesus Christ. Instead of seeing the seals as only future destruction, we begin to see them as spiritual forces unfolding across the Church Age. The First Seal: The Spirit of Deception Revelation 6:2 “Behold, a white horse… and he went out conquering and to conquer.” At first glance, this appears righteous. But this rider represents something deceptive. It reflects the spirit of antichrist—a false imitation of Christ that began early in the Church Age. 1 John 4:3 “This is the spirit of the Antichrist… which is already in the world.” From the beginning, deception has been at work. False teachings. False messiahs. False doctrines. This spirit continues to move forward, preparing the world for its final manifestation. The Second Seal: War and Division Revelation 6:4 “It was granted… to take peace from the earth… that people should kill one another.” This seal represents conflict and war. While wars have always existed, this reveals an escalation—a global pattern of unrest. Jesus spoke of this: Matthew 24:6 “You will hear of wars and rumors of wars…” War is not random. It is part of a larger spiritual movement shaping the world. The Third Seal: Economic Control Revelation 6:5–6 “A quart of wheat for a denarius…” This seal reveals economic pressure and control. It shows a world where: • resources are limited • systems control access • people become dependent This spirit influences nations, economies, and daily life. It prepares the world for a system where buying and selling can be controlled. The Fourth Seal: Death and Destruction Revelation 6:8 “And power was given to them… to kill… with sword, with hunger, with death…” This seal represents the result of the previous three: Deception. War. Control. All leading to death on a massive scale. These are not isolated events. They are connected forces working together. Four Forces, One Direction The first four seals work together. They are not separate. They form a progression: 1. Deception 2. War 3. Control 4. Death These forces are shaping the world—moving it toward a final moment in prophecy. The Fifth Seal: A Cry for Justice Revelation 6:9–10 “I saw… the souls of those who had been slain… and they cried… ‘How long, O Lord?’” This seal reveals persecution and suffering. It reminds us that faithfulness to God has always come with a cost. But it also reveals something deeper: God sees. God hears. And God will respond. The Sixth Seal: Divine Intervention Revelation 6:12 “There was a great earthquake… the sun became black…” This is a turning point. The natural world is shaken. Humanity begins to recognize that something beyond them is happening. This seal points toward God’s intervention in history. The Seventh Seal: Transition The seventh seal marks a shift. It is not just an ending. It is a transition into the next phase of God’s plan. Everything has been building toward this moment. What This Means for Us Today If these seals represent the spiritual progression of the Church Age, then we are not waiting for them to begin. We are living in their unfolding. We can already see: • deception increasing • conflict intensifying • systems tightening • instability growing But this should not bring fear. It should bring awareness. Jesus told us these things would happen. Why This Matters When we understand the seals correctly: 1. We stop being surprised by the world. 2. We start recognizing the signs. 3. And we begin to live with spiritual readiness. A Final Thought The seals are not just about judgment. They are about preparation. They reveal a world moving toward a divine conclusion. But they also reveal a Savior who is in control of every step. The Lamb is not reacting to history. He is opening it.

Between My Prayer and His Answer The objective of Between My Prayer and His Answer is to encourage believers to seek God boldly, ask Him anything with confidence, and faithfully document the journey of seeking, waiting, and receiving. Between My Prayer and His Answer equips readers to pursue God intentionally, trust Him in the process, and recognize His voice and movement as He responds to those who diligently seek Him. Between My Prayer and His Answer Lisa Kane February 16, 2026 Between My Prayer and His Answer Front Cover Objective: The objective of Between My Prayer and His Answer is to encourage believers to seek God boldly, ask Him anything with confidence, and faithfully document the journey of seeking, waiting, and receiving. Between My Prayer and His Answer equips readers to pursue God intentionally, trust Him in the process, and recognize His voice and movement as He responds to those who diligently seek Him. Synopsis: Between My Prayer and His Answer is more than a journal for the waiting season — it is a sacred space for seeking. This guided prayer journal reminds you that you can ask God anything. Nothing is too small, too large, too broken, or too complicated for Him. As you seek Him with your whole heart, He promises to answer. These pages are designed to help you document your conversations with God — your prayers, your questions, your struggles, your surrender — and to record how He speaks, moves, and responds. The waiting is not passive; it is active pursuit. It is listening. It is trusting. It is watching God unfold His answer in His perfect way and timing. Between your prayer and His answer, you are being transformed. And when the answer comes, you will have written proof that God was faithful all along. Sample first pages of the Book/Manual: Introduction. Write. Wait. Return. Prayer is not meant to be a one-time request sent into the air, hoping something happens. Prayer is meant to be a conversation, a living, growing relationship between you and a faithful God who listens, speaks, and responds in His perfect time. This journal was created for the space that often goes unnoticed: the space between your prayer and His answer. So many of us pray sincerely, yet we forget to return. We ask God for direction, healing, provision, or clarity, but when time passes, life moves on, and the moment is lost. What if instead of forgetting, we remember? What if we learned to document our prayers, wait with expectation, and then return to recognize how God answered? Here, you are invited to write your question to God, record the date, and trust Him with the waiting. Some answers come quickly. Others unfold slowly. And sometimes, we only recognize God’s answer when we look back. These pages are meant to become a testimony, a personal record of how God has walked with you through seasons, decisions, waiting, and breakthrough. There is no schedule here. There is no pressure to fill every page. There is only an invitation. Write. Wait. Return. May this journal help you see what has always been true: God is faithful, God is present, and God does answer prayer.

The Liberation of the Human Soul Pastor Marcos Marrero October 17, 2023 The Liberation of the Human Soul Objective: The objective of this book is to equip believers with biblical understanding of the human soul, its struggles, and its potential for transformation through the Spirit of God. Pastor Marcos Marrero seeks to help Christians distinguish between the soul and spirit, recognize the influences that distort and oppress the soul, and apply God’s truth for deliverance and restoration. By guiding readers to trust in God’s covenant promises and embrace progressive transformation, the book aims to lead believers into true freedom, wholeness, and spiritual maturity, enabling them to live victoriously and fulfill their divine purpose in Christ. Synopsis: In The Liberation of the Human Soul, Pastor Marcos Marrero explores the vital distinction between the human spirit and soul, showing how this understanding is key to living in the fullness of God’s freedom. He explains the “soul complex” as an inner dwelling with both godly and ungodly “tenants,” and teaches how spiritual fruit such as love, joy, and peace can only thrive when believers evict destructive influences like selfish ambition, lust, and envy. Pastor Marcos uncovers the demonic infrastructure that manipulates the soul through lies, trauma, and distortion of truth, then highlights how the Word of God restores and renews believers. Through faith, trust, and covenant with Christ, the soul undergoes progressive transformation—breaking free from sin’s snares and growing into the likeness of Jesus. Ultimately, the book emphasizes that salvation is not only about eternal life but also about the ongoing deliverance and restoration of the soul in this life. By yielding fully to God’s Spirit, Christians can walk in true peace, self-control, and victory, fulfilling their divine destiny and bearing witness to the world of Christ’s liberating power. Sample first pages of the Book/Manual: Introduction As a born-again Christian since June 2, 1976, when my life was radically changed after I accepted Jesus Christ as my only savior, I can honestly say that trying to understand the complexity of the human soul is perhaps the most challenging area I’ve ever had to deal with, yet the most vital. In every human endeavor reaching the goal determines the victory. Failing to reach the goal, though admirable if one tries very hard, it is still a failure. Bottom line is we lost; we failed to accomplish the desire objective. However many Christians today settle for trying very hard and accept failure to reach their goal in Christ as an admirable endeavor. Even when in the end they have failed miserably to achieve the goal that Jesus Christ had set out for them in their lives. My prayer is that in this book I will be able to shed some light into the inner workings of the human soul that will enable born-again Christians to achieve the goal of their faith which is the salvation, deliverance and restoration of their souls. 1 Peter 1:9 “Receiving the end of your faith — the salvation of your souls.”   The Difference between the Spirit and the Soul This is an area that is not dealt with often enough from church pulpits. What is the difference between my soul and my spirit? And how does lack of knowledge on this subject affect my walk with Christ? Knowing the difference between your soul and your spirit can mean the difference between walking in shame, guilt and condemnation or walking in total and complete freedom from guilt, shame and condemnation. Let me begin by stressing that the Bible makes a clear distinction between the soul and the spirit, and if we understand that their interaction affects how our physical bodies respond to any given situation, it will teach us how to walk in self-control, which is the completion of spiritual fruit. I Thessalonians 5:23 “Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you completely; and may your whole spirit, soul, and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.” (Parenthesis, italics, bold added by me unless otherwise stated.) Paul clearly segregates the two, spirit and soul as dwelling within our physical bodies. But by introducing God as the God of peace Himself, Paul implies that there is a relationship between spirit and soul that brings peace or the lack thereof, depending upon their interaction. In order to know how the spirit and the soul interact within our bodies, and how their interaction affects our behavior, we need to understand their individual nomenclature. The Greek word used by Paul in the above passage for spirit is the word “Pnyoomah” Strong’s concordance # 4151 and it means Breath (blast). The Greek word used for soul is the word “Psookhay” Strong’s concordance # 5590 and it also means Breath. We get a clearer picture from Genesis 2:7 “And the Lord God formed man (the body) of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life (the spirit); and man became a living being (the soul).” The words for breath and spirit are pretty much interchangeable in both the Hebrew and Greek languages. So when God breathed into Adam’s nostrils the breath (spirit) of life, Adam became a living soul. From this and other scriptures I’ve concluded that the human soul is like a pneumatic (Pnyoomah) tool, a tool designed to run on a blast or a current of air, originally intended by God to run or to be motivated by God’s breath/spirit (Pnyoomah);or let me put it another way, our soul is to be moved, inspired, influenced by the words that come out of the mouth of God. When Adam and by implication us, disobeyed the word that came out of God’s mouth, our souls lost their motivator and hence the soul became self-motivated (self steam). Now in the soul we find the mind, will and emotions intricately connected to our five physical senses. Genesis 3:6 “So when the woman saw that the tree was good for food (taste), that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree desirable to make one wise (mind), she took of its fruit and ate.” Here we see the process; disobedience to the word of God disengages the governor of the soul: the Spirit of God. And now the human soul can be easily manipulated through the physical senses. Satan controls the environment we live in, the world; if we do not walk in self-control which is a fruit of the Spirit; then, the demonic environment of this world will control us also. As born-again believers we cannot afford to be led by our physical senses, if we are lead by the sensuality (carnality) of this world, we will never achieve the goal of our faith, which is; the liberation of our souls from satanic influences and manipulative schemes. 1 John 2:15 “Do not love the world or the things of the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father (breath) is not in him.” This is why the soul is so vital: Whichever spirit (breath) motivates the soul, that spirit will control to a very large extent the actions of our physical bodies. When we walk in victory it is because the Spirit of God is driving our soul. When we walk in defeat it is because the Spirit of God has been disengaged from motivating our soul; and when our soul is motivated by our physical senses, which are manipulated by the circumstances surrounding us, we fail on our goal. John could not have said it any clearer, when we love the world or the things of the world (the devil’s environment), we’ve allowed our souls to be manipulated by the god of this world. Instead of the fruit of the Holy Spirit flowing through us, the fruit of carnality abounds. Selfishness instead of self-control, hate instead of love, unhappiness instead of joy, impatience instead of patience, pride instead of meekness and no real peace. Isaiah 57:21 “There is no peace, says my God, for the wicked.” Perhaps the best way to describe the difference between soul and spirit is like this: The spirit of a born-again Christian is like a good seed, within it lies dormant everything that pertains to a life of peace and abundance of the godliness that we have been promised. 1 Peter 1:3 “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His abundant mercy has begotten us again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.” And just like a natural seed needs a place to germinate and release all the things that are encoded within it; the born-again spirit needs to be embedded within the soul in order to bear spiritual fruit. Hosea 10:17 “Sow for yourselves righteousness; reap in mercy; break up your fallow ground, for it is time to seek the Lord, till He comes and rains righteousness on you.” This is what makes the liberation of the soul so vital, without it there can be no harvest, no real victory. The preaching, teaching and learning from the word of God provide the watering that causes the seed (spirit) to bear fruit, however the fallow ground of the soul must be broken, tilled and cultivated. The weeds that choke the fruit of the spirit have to be uprooted. Matthew 15:13 “...Every plant which My heavenly Father has not planted will be uprooted.” As I conclude this chapter, my heart turns towards the many Christians that are struggling with sin in their lives. No matter how hard they try they are unable to overcome it, and like clockwork Satan is there to remind them of their misery and failure. Romans 7:17-18 “But now, it is no longer I who do it, but sin that dwells in me. For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh) nothing good dwells; for to will is present with me, but how to perform what is good I do not find. For the good that I will to do, I do not do; but the evil I will not to do, that I practice.” Parenthesis are in the original text. Romans 7:20 Now if I do what I will not to do, it is no longer I who do it, but sin that dwells in me.” The day that a born-again believer comes to the realization that the spirit within him/her has been made alive, and that there is now therefore no condemnation for that spirit; for indeed, it is that born-again spirit that desires to do good “for to will is present with me”, they will no longer look at sin in the same light anymore. The sin that is in the soul that was self-motivated before we knew God should be like a warning light to us, a symptom of an unseen malady. Its manifestations are there for the purpose of reminding us that there is something wrong within us that we need to deal with. When the check engine light flashes on the dash board of our vehicle, we do not feel guilt or shame about it; we simply become concern and see to it that the problem is dealt with as soon as possible. So it should be with us, when we keep doing that which we will not to do, it is time to come to God and allow Him to give us a spiritual diagnostic check-up of the soul. Proverbs 11:9 “…But through knowledge the righteous will be delivered.” Instead of hiding with guilt and shame by identifying ourselves with that sin, let us expose that sin for what it is, an unwanted trespasser that needs to be evicted from our soul, through knowledge. Hosea 4:6 “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge.” Let us become diligent in learning the intricacies of our own soul. Let us make the liberation of our souls our principle goal in life.

THE SPIRIT OF FAITH The objective of The Spirit of Faith is to teach believers the dual nature of faith as both a fruit of the Spirit and a gift of the Spirit, showing how they work together to strengthen the believer’s walk with God. It emphasizes that faith is the key to pleasing God, unlocking His power, and experiencing His promises, while also calling believers to nurture their measure of faith and connect it to the supernatural gift of faith for endurance, deliverance, healing, and transformation. THE SPIRIT OF FAITH Pastor Marcos Marrero June 18, 2021 Objective: The objective of The Spirit of Faith is to teach believers the dual nature of faith as both a fruit of the Spirit and a gift of the Spirit, showing how they work together to strengthen the believer’s walk with God. It emphasizes that faith is the key to pleasing God, unlocking His power, and experiencing His promises, while also calling believers to nurture their measure of faith and connect it to the supernatural gift of faith for endurance, deliverance, healing, and transformation. Synopsis: In The Spirit of Faith, Pastor Marcos explores the foundational truth that without faith it is impossible to please God (Hebrews 11:6). Faith is described as the most powerful force in the universe, the very means by which the worlds were framed and the unseen becomes reality. From Scripture, Pastor Marcos distinguishes between faith as the fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22), which grows internally as we nurture the measure of faith God has given us (Romans 12:3), and faith as the gift of the Spirit (1 Corinthians 12:9), an external empowerment from God that provides an added dimension of strength in times of weakness. He illustrates this through the story of the father in Mark 9 who declared, “I believe; help my unbelief!” showing that when our personal faith struggles, Jesus provides the extra boost through the gift of faith. Faith is compared to a car battery—sufficient on its own but sometimes requiring a “jump start” from an external power source. This external source is the Spirit of Faith that partners with our internal faith to overcome unbelief, endure trials, and prevail against spiritual strongholds. Pastor Marcos further highlights that discerning when “the power of the Lord is present to heal” (Luke 5:17) is vital, as demonstrated by the friends who brought the paralyzed man to Jesus in faith. Unlike the Pharisees, they recognized the Spirit of Faith and acted on it, revealing that unbelief blinds us while faith perceives God’s presence and power. The message concludes by pointing to the altar as the place where the fruit of faith connects with the gift of faith. Salvation itself is received by faith, but for God’s glory to dwell in our lives, we must continually unite our internal faith with God’s external empowerment. When truth within us meets mercy from above (Psalm 85:10–11), faith becomes an unstoppable force. Ultimately, The Spirit of Faith encourages believers to cultivate endurance, discern the move of God, and live in the overflow of faith that brings salvation, healing, and transformation through Jesus Christ. Inspired Teaching: Hebrews 11:6 “But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is the rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.” Faith is the most powerful force in the entire universe: Hebrews 11:3 “By faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that the things which are seen were not made of things which are visible.” Without faith it is impossible to understand the invisible things that make up the vast majority of the universe. Faith is also the substance of what we believe to be true or real, and the evidence of those things which are invisible, but still we know that they exist. Faith is awesome! From the biblical perspective faith is revealed as a product or fruit and also as a gift; if we may ask, what is the difference between the two? Galatians 5:22 “But the FRUIT of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long-suffering, gentleness, goodness, FAITH.” KJV 1 Corinthians 12:9 “To another FAITH by the same Spirit, to another GIFTS of healing by the same Spirit.” All of us have been giving a measure of faith and it is up to us to nurture and to grow—as you would fruit in a plant or a tree—the measure of faith that has been given to us as in seed form. Romans 12:3 “…As God has dealt to each one a measure of faith.” The gift of faith is more like an external force, unlike the fruit of faith which is more like an internal force. Do the two of them combine and if they do how do they work together? Think of faith as a car battery which stores the power needed to run the car. When the battery runs down—for whatever reason—it struggles to start the engine, in which case you connect it to another energy source with jumping cables. The external energy aids the internal one when they combine. The gift of faith provides the extra boost needed when the fruit of our faith fails us. Mark 9:24 “Immediately the father of the child cried out and said with tears, ‘Lord, I believe; help my unbelief!’” This troubled father brought to the disciples of Jesus, his son who was in desperate need for deliverance from demonic torment; the disciples were unable to help the tormented boy. When the father of the boy saw Jesus and told Him about his situation, Jesus replied to him that all he needed was faith: Mark 9:23 “Jesus said to him, ‘If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes.’” So the father had faith for he said to Jesus: I believe! But his faith was struggling and needed help, and Jesus did not hesitate to give it to him. Jesus helped him to overcome his unbelief. Jesus used this opportunity to teach His disciples about their need for more prayer and fasting to increase their faith when dealing with demonic strongholds. But our point is made that when our faith needs help, if we, with a sincere heart come to Jesus, with tears as if it were in desperate need, He will not fail to help us in our time of need, for He is faithful and He will not deny Himself. 2 Timothy 2:11-13 “This is a faithful saying: For if we died with Him, we shall also live with Him. If we endure, we shall also reign with Him. If we deny Him, He will also deny us. If we are faithless, He remains faithful; He cannot deny Himself.” Notice that it said: If we endure, we shall also reign with Him or have power from Him. The mark of true faithfulness is endurance; we never give up regardless of the outcome. Another way of connecting with this external force called ‘The gift of faith’ is through spiritual discernment. There is a time and place for everything the Bible tells us. Luke 5:17 “Now it happened on a certain day, as He was teaching, that there were Pharisees and teachers of the law sitting by, who had come out of every town of Galilee, Judea, and Jerusalem. And THE POWER OF THE LORD WAS PRESENT TO HEAL THEM.” Italics mine. What does it mean by: The power of the Lord was present to heal them? I believe that this is what it means: THE SPIRIT OF THE GIFT OF FAITH was present! There was an atmosphere conducive to merge the internal force of the fruit of faith with the external power of the gift of faith. Luke 5:18 “Then behold, men brought on a bed a man who was paralyzed, whom they sought to bring in and lay before Him.” Notice that the Pharisees and the teachers of the law did not perceive that the power of the Lord was present to heal them. Men whose names are not mentioned recognized that the power to heal was present, to such a degree, that when their way to Jesus was blocked by the crowds they climbed to the roof and lowered the paralyzed man down from the roof in front of Jesus. Wouldn’t you like to be friends with men of such faith like theirs? They saw the need of their friend and perceived that the power was present, so they persevered. What was it that blocked or hindered the Pharisees and the teachers of the law from perceiving that the Spirit of Faith was present? They did not believe that Jesus was their Promised Anointed One! Luke 5:21 “And the scribes and the Pharisees began to reason, saying, ‘Who is this who speaks blasphemies? Who can forgive sins but God alone?’” What is salvation? To be forgiven by God from all our sins! Salvation is God’s personal Gift to all mankind. Salvation came as a human man. He came to His own and His own received Him not. But to those who believed in Him, to them gave He power, the promised of the Father; to be filled with the Holy Spirit of God. If you have accepted Jesus Christ as your Savior you have been given the Gift of eternal life and abundant life. That internal faith that brought salvation to your soul is looking to connect with that external gift of faith that brings power to transform your life to be a glorious testimony for Jesus, the Savior of your soul. Matthew 23:19 “Fools and blind! For which is greater, the gift or THE ALTAR THAT SANCTIFIES THE GIFT?” It is when we bring the measure of faith that God gave to us to God’s altar that our faith is sanctified, and we are saved. In the same way it is, when we bring the fruit of internal faith to God’s altar that we get connected to the Gift of Faith that brings the power to heal and restore. Psalm 85:9 “Surely His salvation is near to those who fear Him, that glory may dwell in our land.” We receive our salvation through the measure of faith given to all of us since birth. As we receive Jesus as our Savior this measure of faith is sanctified on God’s altar. His salvation is near to those who fear Him. But for His glory to dwell in the land, or to be manifested through us, we need to connect to the gift of faith that comes from above. James 1:17 “Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning.” Psalm 85:10-11 “Mercy and truth have met together; righteousness and peace have kissed. Truth shall spring out of the earth, and righteousness shall look down from heaven.” As we declare that Jesus is our Savior and our Lord the Spirit of truth springs out of us and meets with the God of mercy, God’s righteousness that looks down from heaven and our faith becomes one powerful force that cannot be stopped. Truth from within us meets mercy from above us. John 14:17 “The Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be with you.” Psalm 86:11 “Teach me Your way, O Lord; I will walk in Your truth; UNITE MY HEART TO FEAR YOUR NAME.” Italics mine.

THE DAY OF SALVATION The objective of this message is to emphasize the urgency and present reality of salvation, reminding both believers and unbelievers that today is the time to accept Christ and walk in His grace. It aims to encourage Christians to live out their salvation daily through ministry, service, and consistent faith, while also calling unbelievers to repentance and relationship with the Lord before it is too late. < Back THE DAY OF SALVATION Minister Lisa Kane February 29, 2024 Objective: The objective of this message is to emphasize the urgency and present reality of salvation, reminding both believers and unbelievers that today is the time to accept Christ and walk in His grace. It aims to encourage Christians to live out their salvation daily through ministry, service, and consistent faith, while also calling unbelievers to repentance and relationship with the Lord before it is too late. Synopsis: Lisa Kane begins with prayer and introduces the central scripture from 2 Corinthians 6:1–3, highlighting that now is the “accepted time” and today is the “day of salvation.” She explains that salvation is a present reality secured by Jesus’ sacrifice, and that God calls everyone to receive it without delay. The message distinguishes between simply being saved and actively living in a relationship with Christ. Lisa urges believers to deepen their walk with God through prayer, study, and ministry, while reminding unbelievers that repentance cannot be postponed. She draws from Isaiah 49:8 to show how Paul ties Israel’s restoration to the broader call of salvation for all people. She critiques the modern romanticizing of five-fold ministry roles, clarifying that ministry in its truest form is simple service—acts of attendance, aid, and love. Using Jacob’s transformation at Peniel (Genesis 32) as an illustration, she shows how wrestling with God leads to personal transformation, just as salvation transforms every believer. Lisa also unpacks Paul’s teaching in 2 Corinthians 6:4–10, where ministry is lived out in all circumstances—whether in patience, affliction, dishonor, joy, or sorrow. She stresses that salvation must be exhibited daily, even when believers feel weak or inadequate, because God’s Spirit empowers them to minister in every season. The message closes with encouragement from Philippians 2:12, urging Christians to “work out their salvation with fear and trembling,” not in vain but with a life that demonstrates God’s love, truth, and power. Lisa reminds the audience that whether strong or struggling, rich or poor, every believer is called to manifest the joy and reality of salvation today. ✨ In short: This teaching stresses that the day of salvation is now. It calls unbelievers to repent and receive Christ immediately, while urging believers to actively live out and exhibit their salvation through service, endurance, and daily ministry empowered by the Holy Spirit. Inspired Teaching: Hello and welcome to the House of Faith Ministries. I'm Lisa Kane and recording this on Thursday, February 29th, 2024, leap year. Welcome. This message is called the day of salvation. Let's open up in a word of prayer. Father God, we thank you for your word. We thank you for your blessings and favor on us, Lord. And and we pray and ask that we we hear your word and we apply your word to our lives, Father God, because this is an awesome message. And I thank you for the revelation of this message. And I pray that we can all take a part of it and run with it and hold on to you as tight as we can. Father God, in the name of Jesus we pray. Amen. And amen. All right, let's go to our opening scripture here. This is called the day of salvation. Our opening scriptures is in 2 Corinthians 6:1. We then as workers together, together means cooperation with him, beseech or call near, invite you also that ye receive not the grace of God in vain or empty. So we're going to be talking about the day of salvation here. Today is the day of salvation. We are in a time period of salvation right now which is absolutely incredible and I hope that you get this and you understand it. So we are going to be talking about the day of salvation. salvation is. And if you notice here, we work together in this salvation. So, we're going to be talking about ministry work for believers. If you are an unbeliever and you are hearing this message, now's the time to repent. I encourage you to call on Jesus. You need to. We all need to. We have all fallen short of the glory of God. So, now's the time to repent. And now's the time to get ready with the Lord. If you don't have a relationship with the Lord on top of your salvation, meaning you're spending time with the Lord and getting to know his word, you're asking questions. He's answering because you're reading and praying. Uh that's the relationship value there. If you're not doing that, you need to because now's the time to get ready. He is preparing us for his return. Now is the time to get ready. This is called the day of salvation. Amen. Let's continue on to verse two. Uh here in 2 Corinthians 6, we're going to read verses 2 and three. Verse two, notice, okay, it's got parentheses already around it. That's because that is in the Bible. Okay, the parentheses are already there. I didn't add them. So, what I did is I added brackets for the bolded word. So if you see the bolded word in brackets afterwards, those extra words are other words that the bolded word could have been translated as. It gives us a deeper look into the scripture and I like teaching that way. So that's what you're seeing on the screen in front of you. So now this particular verse two is a reference to Isaiah 49:8. Paul is partially quoting that scripture. We will look at Isaiah 49:8 here in a moment. So let's look at what Paul says. He says, "For he saith or he's laying down." And by the way, this is God talking that he is referencing. Says, "I have heard thee in a time accepted," which means approved. And in the day of salvation have I secured or helped thee. Behold now, meaning present time is the accepted, the approved time. Behold, now is the day of salvation. I'm going to stop there. The day of salvation is this time here and now that we're in right now. How do I know this? Well, the day of the Lord has not re happened yet. That's a big day of taught on it. It's a day where there's an invasion from Gog and Magog into uh Israel and they're all killed. God stops and there's a day of darkness. It is a day, a dreary day, lots of rain, hail. It's a big earthquake going to happen that day. that has not happened yet. Okay? So until that day happens and and by the way at that point the rapture happens. So the body of Christ will be removed at that time. Until that day happens we are in what's called the day of salvation. It's because what Jesus did is when he was crucified he redeemed all of us. He paid the price for our sins, yours and mine. And because he did that, we have redemption, a free gift. It is salvation. Jesus says, "I'm going to forgive you of anything and everything." All you have to do is confess. Romans 10:9 says that if you confess with your mouth, Jesus is Lord and believe with your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. It is a very simple matter of fact. That's your salvation. Remember the thief on the cross? He never got water baptized. He never went door todo. He never was fruitful. He never multiplied. He never got a chance to live for Christ because he died on the cross and that was it. But he was saved. So s the day of salvation is now. And we're going to look a little more. And I just did a teaching on the difference between living for the Lord and just being saved and the different levels of different Christians throughout the world. That is true. It is a fact. You can go take a look. I have a different level of my belief and faith may be more higher than others and it's still lower than others. I'm not at the top and I will never proclaim to be at the top, but there are those that are and I and God bless them. So, each of us have to kind of work out our salvation and get to that. So, that's what this salvation message is about. And I want to show you how Jacob did it. But before we get there, let's read the rest of the scripture because I want to bring this all to life. Verse three, giving no offense, stumbling or occasion of sin. That's what the word offense means. Giving no offense in anything that the ministry be not blamed. That ministry is attendance, aid, service. Okay. So, I think in today's time, and maybe I'm being a little overdramatic about it, but I think that the body of Christ has romanticized the five-fold ministry, uh, evangelism, apostilhip, prophet, teaching, um, and I can't think of the other one right now, but, uh, we've romanticized it and put these people that do these ministries up on a pedestal. But look at what the word ministry is. It says attendance, aid, service. That's all we're doing. Listen, we're all as human as you are. All we do is spend time in the word and ask the Holy Spirit for revelation of that word so we can come and teach it to you because we are called well in my case I'm called to teach and preach the word of God which is means I'm a minister. I minister the living word of God to you and I do this on a weekly basis. In fact, what I do is an online ministry which is supplemental to you joining your body of Christ or your church in your sanctuary. This is just additional to kind of get you through the week. Gives you um I hope I'm teaching a little more in the meat area a deeper understanding of the living word of God than what your pastor can teach. Your pastor teaches but he teaches as a global over uh he covers the whole church, the whole body of Christ. So he can't do individual teachings and and to the body of Christ because he has to keep his body together and bring them up together. So there's going to be in that body more that are uplifted and closer to God than others. So he has to keep a balance whereas I have the opportunity to come in here and teach a deeper meaning, a deeper level of the word of God. And I hope that you are blessed by it. Amen. So that's what this is about. So when you become saved, that salvation should not be empty vain. We saw Paul talk about that. He says it needs to be filled with something that is the spirit of God. So let's continue on and read um and now I want to quote this is the scripture that Paul quoted in in verse two of Corinthian first Corinthians 6. So this is Isaiah 498. Let's read the whole scripture. Thus sayeth the Lord, in an acceptable, which is a delight or favor time, which is now, have I heard thee, and in a day of salvation have I helped thee. Now, here's the rest of it. and I will preserve or guard thee, give thee for a covenant or promise of the people to establish the earth to cause to inherit or occupy look at this the desolate which is the stunned deficit stupified makease heritages. Now he's talking to Israel here. Now Israel has become a nation again. It is a shock to the world. Israel is the fourth largest nation in the world to provide food for the world. And there a little teeny thing. But that's Israel because God has allowed them to occupy that desolate land that Mark Twain talked about back in 1800s when he wrote about Israel, how desolate and wilderness the place was. But look at what God has done. And it amazes people. It stupifies them and it it stuns them. So God did that with Israel. Paul is quoting that scripture. He's quoting the beginning part. He says, "This is the day of salvation and I have helped thee." meaning he's helping us here and now so we can walk in the ministry of the day of salvation. Because we today, any preacher, any minister, any pastor, any evangelist, any any teacher, any person in the five-fold ministry, our objective will always be salvation and grace because Jesus is in the business of salvation. He's here to save people. He says, "I will forgive anyone of anything at any time." That is what you ought to grab on. The only one who does not forgive all the time, anytime, and all the time is uh the Holy Spirit. And what that is, it's a voice in the back of your head. So when you get saved, you see, even before you get saved, there's something in the back of your head talking to you. He's saying, "You want this?" And you know why it was funny? My dad was talking about the day um the week before he got saved back in 1976. He remembers it. He was watching people in the church. He happened to go to church and he's watching the delight and the joy of their heart as they praised and worshiped the Lord. He says, "I want that." And the next Wednesday service that they went to, they didn't want to wait till Sunday. They went Wednesday night and they went up and got uh saved. They went and accepted the Lord in their heart. There was an altar call and they went up forward. Every pastor, every preacher, every evangelist should be talking about salvation and letting everybody know now's the day of salvation. Now is the time to get saved. It is very important that you do this. You see, I I want you to understand, I know we're all attracted to the end time events, especially uh not just the day of the Lord and the rapture, but really about the sevenyear tri uh uh seven-year time period of God's wrath. We have to be very careful about that because see our goal and objective is try to not get anybody to get there. So to even teach that you can get saved during that time is not biblical. Now there will be people who will be martyed during that time for Christ because they're not going to accept the mark of the beast and they're going to end up dying for what they believe in. But that doesn't mean they're saved during that walk. It means you have to die for it. Now, we really don't even know that to be true. I say it because that's what a lot of theologians teach. The seven thunders are going to speak and they're going to tell you how to get saved. At least that's what I believe in. But remember, God told uh or the angel told John, "Don't write what the seven thunders say." See, they don't want us to know what's going to happen in that time period because now is the day of salvation. This is the time period where we need to be saying, "Get saved now. Don't wait any longer. Now is the time to get saved. Amen. So, this is what we're talking about. Let's go to Romans real quick. Romans 11:25. For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant, which is not to know or lack of information of this mystery. It's a secret. Watch what he says here. This is very important. Lest ye should be wise in your own conceits. See, we're wise in our own conceits to even think that we know what the seven-year time period of God's wrath is all about. If you're a believer in Christ, you will not be attending that time frame. Our time comes when the fullness of the Gentiles is complete. I will show you scripture on that. And that's what I'm actually showing you right here. He says, uh, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits. that blindness and by the way that word blindness means stupidity or callousness in part is happened to Israel until the fullness or completion of the Gentiles which is a race a tribe foreign become in or enters in we the Gentiles the body of Christ came into existence the moment Jesus rose from the grave he taught it as the kingdom of God in in his three three-year ministry that he had when he was crucified he went to the grave for three days. He rose from the grave and before he left he walked on the earth after death for 40 days and appeared to over 500 people at one time. This is all eyewitness testimony in the Bible in the four gospels and in Acts. You can read about all of this and what they have what happened. It's your choice whether you want to believe it or not. So the day of salvation began with Israel. the law. They had to present the law and Jesus fulfilled the law. And he says, "Now I'm telling you to love your neighbor as you love yourself." And that is a commandment. So he's saying, "Now is the time to confess me as your Lord and Savior. Now is the day of salvation so that you can get saved." And I already taught about the difference between living with Christ and living not with Christ. But in your ministry, whether you are on high for God or you happen to be down here, you're going to see Paul tell us that our ministry should still be an exhibit to those around us because the salvation of the Lord is today and we ought to be sharing that no matter where we are spiritually. And Paul is teaching this and you're going to see this here in the scripture. Now, that means this fullness of Gentiles is going to come to completion on the day of the Lord because we do not teach salvation in the seven-year time period of God's wrath. This is just more scripture supporting that. And I I hope you're understanding that. And I hope you're watching these last several videos I've taught on this because I really want you to see and know we have to be teaching the now, the grace, and the salvation of today. We want to be aware of prophecy. We want to know that this time is coming to an end. But at the same time, this just means we need to be more urgent with what we're teaching. Amen. So there is coming the fullness of the Gentiles will be completed and then Israel will continue on. Now Israel needs to be saved. So Israel who has rejected Jesus, they're going to go through the seven-year time period and God is going to save them. He is their help and he's going to work walk with them during that time period and that is all biblical. They're going to be 144,000 male Jews are going to be sealed of 12,000 of each tribe. They're going to have to run. They're going to run to the hidden place that God has for them right in the middle as soon as the abomination of desolation happens. So that happens in the seven-year time period. It's right in the middle. They're going to run because they're going to see all of a sudden they've been following the Antichrist and they're going to become aware and they're going to get saved. So God has a plan for them. But the body of Christ is not in that plan at that time. So today is the day of salvation. Today is the day that we need to be saved. Amen. Now in Genesis, I want you I want you to see something. This is so powerful. when you get saved and there there won't be an emptiness there. It won't be vain. You're going to have a spirit of God talking to you and there is going to be a transformation. Now, sometimes the transformation takes place and it's instantaneously. Other times it takes a little more time. I want to show you something in the Old Testament that had me weeping so much. I don't even know why my spirit was weeping so much, but it's so powerful. I hope that you catch this and I hope that my spirit with the Holy Spirit is imparting this uh feeling and this joy to you because today is a day of salvation. You're going to see what happened to Jacob when his day of salvation took place. Amen. Okay. So, we're going to go to Genesis 32 and read verses 24- 28. Let me give you a background before I begin reading. Jacob has spent I think it's about 20 years. You can go read that part of scripture. He spent seven years in Laban trying to get his wife Rachel. Now Laban and Leah, I guess Leah is the older daughter, I think. And Jacob worked seven years for Rachel, but they tricked him and put Leah there. They put so much heavy veils that he didn't see her. He married her and went and consummated the marriage and realized I got the wrong wife. So he ends up working another seven years for Rachel. So he was there 14 years and I think he was there another either six or seven more years there. But in the meantime, he has two wives. And he ends up getting 12 children. Uh some through the handmaid handmaidadens because there was a jealousy going on, a rival between Leah and Rachel. So you can read all of that. This is how the 12 tribes of Israel comes into existence. Now notice his name is Jacob. Watch what happens. He He He's leaving Labon Laban. He's leaving him. He's now going to go see his brother, Esau. Now, the last time he saw Esau, they didn't part in good terms. He ran from Esau. Esau got mad. He was able to manipulate Esau to get his birthight from him. And Esau was mad, but Esau sold it for a bowl of food, a plate of food. So anyways, they left in bad terms. So now Jacob is coming back. So he sends messengers ahead and Esau responds by bringing him and 400 of his men toward Jacob. So he's marching toward Jacob. So Jacob's thinking, "Oh my goodness, he's going to fight me and my family." Jacob doesn't have an army. Jacob only has this family and his servants and his cattle and all he's doing is trying to find a better place, a bigger place to get out of Leon Leon. Layman, I don't know how to say his name. I'm going to say Layman. Layman had tricked him and manipulated him for the past 20 21 years or however many years it was, but he had uh tricked him, had changed his wages multiple times, tricked him with the different wives. So he is now finally going to leave and go back. And now he is scared because he thinks his brother's going to defeat him. So he separates his family. This has got to be the craziest thing you have got to ever hear. He's not thinking that his family is going to be defeated, per se. He's putting him in safe places, but he's doing it in such a way that he can save at least half of his family, but he doesn't know which half is going to be saved. So he is distressed. He is distraught. He is vexed. He is in a place that he doesn't want to be in and but he has no choice. So he's got his family all separated. He is by himself at a peak, a precipice that he names Penny later. Now watch this. Says here, "And Jacob," which by the way that name means heel catcher, was left alone. He's now separated from his family. And there wrestled. Oh, I want you to see what this word wrestled means. To float away as vapor, grapple, a man with him until the breaking of the day. He's wrestling with a man. And that word wrestle is to grapple, but it has a vapor quality to it. Watch. Let's read the rest of it. And I want to show you something here. And when he saw that he prevailed not against him meaning God is realizing see Jacob is wrestling with the spirit of God. He is wrestling with God and God is not winning. Obviously God is letting Jacob win here but watch. So this is and when God saw that he prevailed not against him he touched the hollow of his thigh and the hollow of Jacob's thigh was out of joint as he wrestled with him and he said this is now God talking let me go for the day breakth and he said I will not let thee go except thou bless me so Jacob is like I got you and I'm not letting you go till you bless me oh watch this and he said to him this is God talking to him what is thy name and he said, "Jacob." God said, "Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel, he," which means he will rule as God. For as a prince hast thou power, prevailed with God and with men and hast prevailed. So he prevailed with God and with men. That is what the name Israel means. Now I want you to understand this happened in the physical in Jacob's day. Now prior to this moment the people always talked about the God of Abraham and the God of Isaac. They never talked about Jacob because he hadn't been transformed yet. later on when his brother approaches him because you know now he had his his transformation his salvation took place he's no longer empty he's realizing he named it pineal because this was a place he wrestled with God and saw the face of God and he lived through it so he had a transformation so what he did is he tells his family but they continue forward Esau approaches him and hugs him. And Jacob is seeing God for the first time move in his life. Now, I want to ask you a question. Today is the day of salvation. Are you wrestling with God? He's going to let you win. That's the revelation here. Now, I want you to see the ministry part of it because there are days you're going to feel like you can do ministry work and there's going to be days you can't because we're still flesh. So, look at what Paul says about ministry and the salvation that we have within our soul, within our spirit. Watch what he says in our work that we do for Christ when we live for Christ. because that transformation takes place just like Jacob. We see God move and yet still we have down days. So Paul tells us what goes on. Watch this. He says we're back in 2 Corinthians 6 starting in verse four. But in all things approving ourselves as the ministers of God. Now watch this. He says in all things. So he's going to tell you in the good and the bad and in the in the evil and the good. He's going to show us this. I want you to see some key words here. Approving means set together, introduce, exhibit ourselves. Look at the word ministers. To run errands, attendance of God. So we're to do God's ministry. This is what we're called to do here in the day of salvation, which is today and now. But not all days do we feel like it. So he says you need to exhibit yourselves as ministers in everything. So he starts in look he goes in much patience, in afflictions, in necessities, in distresses, in stripes, in imprisonments, in tomalts, in labors, in swatchings, which is sleeplessness, in fastings or abstinence, in puress, by knowledge, by longsuffering, by kindness, by the Holy Ghost. When you don't feel like praising and worshiping the Lord, you still need to do it because you need to be ministering and exhibiting your ministry through the Holy Spirit and through all things. He continues on and by love and look at this and he says unf by love unfeigned which means you need to whether you're loving with through benevolence by giving gifts and being there for somebody just letting them cry on your shoulder if that's what you have to do or even when you don't feel like loving them you still got to exhibit your salvation that God has transformed in you. Amen. So, he's showing us how to do it. He says, "By the word of truth." You still got to do it by the word of truth, by the power of God, by the armor. You've got tools of righteousness on the right hand and on the left. You see, these are things that we have even when we don't feel like it. Continuing on, look at says by honor and dishonor. There going to be days you're going to honor your parents. There going to be days you're going to be mad at them and you're going to curse them. Honor and dishonor. says, "By evil report and good report." Look at this. As deceivers and yet true because there days that we like to manipulate things because we're the flesh. We think it's easier to lie or to to deceive somebody, you know, like maybe this is better for them. You know, we keep the truth from them because then they'll might do this or do that or whatever the situation may be. You know exactly what I'm talking about. And the Holy Spirit is showing you that. Well, guess what he says? In that, you still need to exhibit your salvation. You see how important this message is? We need to be exhibiting our salvation of the Lord because today is the day of salvation. Whether you feel like it, whether you're lying, whether you're cheating, whether you're an adulterer, whether it doesn't matter. You are still having to exhibit your salvation. Look at what he says as unknown. Because now you got people who say, "Well, I know the right way. This church teaches God the right way. This church I'm of Apollos. I'm of Paul." It doesn't matter. It's the day of salvation. It is of Jesus. What he did on the cross. He died for us and then he rose from the grave. And that is what we teach on. And that is your knowledge that you should have in the day of salvation. See, it says as unknown or lack of information and yet well known as dying because even as you're dying in a hospital, you should still be exhibiting. My time might be coming short here, but you know what? I give God the glory because he has given me a great life. And you know how many people you will minister to when you say things like that is awesome and powerful. And yet, and behold, we live as chastened, educated, or trained up as a child and not killed. We can come become dead. We didn't let this world die or kill us. We didn't let the enemy take us down and keep us down. So he's saying even in that fight, you are exhibiting the day of salvation, your ministry. Hallelujah. Look at this. He says, "And even as sorrowful yet always rejoicing to be full of cheer, as poor yet making many rich, as having nothing and yet possessing all things." So even if you're rich or even if you're poor, you are exhibiting your ministry. Whatever it may be, it could be baking cookies. It could be just smiling to people. It could be just telling people, "God bless you at the grocery store." It's your ministry because it is your salvation. It is what the Lord has transformed into you. And today is the day of salvation. And every one of us is a part of the body of Christ, the kingdom of God, and the church. And we should be marching in this exhibit displaying the day of salvation because it is now whether we feel like it or not. This is our ministry. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. And let me show you how we know to do this even further than what Paul tells us. Look at Philippians 2:12. Where wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed or listened attentively, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence. Work out your own salvation with fear and treble trembling. And look at salvation is rescue safety. You see, when you are demonstrating that you're praying for people in the hospital, that you're going there, you're texting them, you're on, you're you're letting them see other people are you're letting them cry on your shoulder. Other people are watching this and they're like, "Wow, this is neat. I want this." And what happens is when they get saved, you show them the day of salvation, how to exhibit the joy in their heart, however way they're feeling, because it is the spirit of God. Is not by might nor by power, but by his spirit. And so all things that you do needs to exhibit the day of salvation. Amen. Amen. Let's do this and let us purpose it in our hearts. You know, I pray every morning this actually Monday through Friday. I do pray Saturday and Sundays, but I do a different prayer on Saturdays and Sundays. So, I pray every morning, but it's funny because there are days I'm praying and nothing. I mean, I'm I'm speaking the words. I may speak in tongues a bit, but it's there's really no I don't feel any movement. I don't feel like it. I'm tired. I'm sleepy. Um, but there are other days. Today is a great example. Boy, the anointing was so strong. So, it amazes me. So, there's just every day is a different day, which means we have to exhibit the salvation we got in that day, no matter what that day is. I hope you get this message and I hope that it encourages you to take that day and say, "You know what, Lord? No matter what this day is, I'm giving you the glory, honor, praise, and strength because you're still my God, my King, my Lord, and my Savior. And I'm still going to exhibit you. Even if I've got a cold, I'm sick, sneezing, whatever, I'm going to exhibit you. Oh, I'm going to exhibit your salvation. Oh, thank you, Lord. Thank you. Let's close in a word of prayer. Father God, we thank you for your word. We bless your word, let it not return void. Thank you, Father God, for letting our hearts be filled with joy and that that joy is always present and prevalent even when we don't feel like it. And teach us and help us have the strength to exhibit your salvation for what you've done in our lives daily, Father God. No matter how we feel that day and no matter what's going on on that day. Thank you, Lord. In the glorious name of Jesus, we pray. Amen. Amen. Amen. God bless you. I'll see you in the next message. Previous Next Home
