Hear what the Spirit of
the Lord is saying to the Church!
The
Good
News
is that God Sent His
Son to Earth to Unlock and
Open
the Gate Door for Mankind to
enter Back into the Kingdom of
Paradise!
Rev 2:7
He who is
able to hear, let him listen to and give heed to what the
Spirit says to the assemblies (churches). To him who overcomes (is
victorious), I will
grant to eat [of the fruit] of the tree of life, which is in the paradise of God.
[also see Gen 2:9; 3:24.] AMP
In
this
study, let the Lord Jesus Christ shine upon your heart and mind to
release some deeper understanding through the inspiration of the Holy
Spirit and the
illumination of His Word of Life.
The
Kingdom is a NOW reality!
Throughout
this website, we have been
exposed to the reality that the Kingdom of God
is a NOW Kingdom not planned for
some future reign!
The paradise of God
is the
Kingdom of God.
We are
instructed
to eat of the fruit of the Spirit, the tree of life.
Jesus was sent from Heaven.
He revealed the Kingdom of Heaven and
established it in the earth
realm. The Kingdom of Heaven describes "where
it is from."
The Kingdom of God describes "Who
rules
it."
Jesus taught the Gospel of the
Kingdom. Matt
24:14 NKJV 14
And
this
gospel
of
the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a
witness to all the nations...
David as prophet
and king received
the revelation as such.
The prophet, John
the Baptist declared it.
The Lord Jesus
Christ declared it and demonstrated it.
All of the Apostles
declared and demonstrated it!
We have been given
the power to walk in the Kingdom in earth and to demonstrate
it's existence
by the works of the Spirit of our risen Lord!
The
Word of God is undisputable on this issue.
It
is
God's
Good
Pleasure
to give Us the Kingdom!
Luke
12:32 AMP
Do not
be seized with alarm and struck with fear, little flock, for it is your
Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom!
The
Lord has
declared by His Spirit,
Fire
and a Jesus Revolution in the
Cities of the Nations.
As
the Spiritual Army of God is
activated in the 21st century and as the Cities are purged
by the Word
and the Spirit they shall become...“Cities
of Blessings!”
The
Banner
of
Christ
shall
reign over these cities!
The Proclamation:Set Firesin Cities, Regions,
Nations...
(special
note:
The
fiery
march
of the Union Army topical theme was
authored by our friend
and fellow minister Jeaniece Peppers.)
Historical events in the
formation of the United States of America records:
As
the
Union Army (“united
forces” with unity of purpose)
marched against the South, they set
fires to cities, homes
and the
countryside. Fire
purgedthe land.
Fire accelerated the process of
bringing
forth a nation united; “a sovereign rule.”
In the records of the Holy Bible: John the Baptist saw by
the spirit, a purging fire coming!
Jesus
came to baptize with the Holy Ghost and Fire!
"His winnowing fan
is in His hand, and He will thoroughly purge His threshing floor, and
gather
the wheat into His barn; but, the chaff He will burn with unquenchable
fire!"Matthew
3:11-12
Figuratively, the General’s
of
the
Union Army under president Abraham Lincoln demonstrated
this passage as
it applied to warfare. They
were
victorious in their persistent pursuit to set the
captives
Free!
(see
Isaiah
60:1).
War
is
ugly and wretched. It is devastating to man's
resources. There is war
of the spirit that deceives and snares mankind into
bondage.
It
is
spiritual
war of which Paul, an apostle, receives revelation.
Eph.
6:11-13 Amp
11 Put on
God's whole armor [the armor of a heavy-armed soldier which God
supplies], that you
may be
able successfully to stand up against[all] the
strategies and the deceits of
the devil. 12 For we are
not wrestling with flesh and blood [contending only with
physical opponents], but
against
the despotisms, against the powers, against [the master spirits who
are] the world rulers
of this
present darkness, against the spirit forces of
wickedness in the heavenly
(supernatural)
sphere. 13 Therefore
put on God's complete armor, that you may be able to
resist and stand your ground
on the evil day [of danger], and, having done all [the
crisis demands], to stand
[firmly in your place].
The
spiritual
elements of war were embedded in the
Tree of Knowledge of Good
and Evil.
Spiritual nature of jealousy, pride, hate, greed, aggression and
tyranny were
released through
the act of Adam's disobedience
with
full
awareness
and
disregard
to God's Law of Light.
Apostle Paul
shows us that war is a spiritual reality which applies not only in the
physical realm on earth, but also in
the heavens. The Hebrew, Daniel, also gives us
insight to the war in the heavenlies.
Satan
enacted strategies of war in heaven long before the restorative
creation of
the earth. We see the
enactment of war rooted in jealousy in the slaying of Abel by his
brother
Cain. The mark of the
curse of war is recorded throughout eternal
historical records as the rebel actions
of
the
Antichrist
spirit
that emerged in
the jealous heart of Lucifer in Heaven.
The spirit of antichrist has been on the earth as
revealed in the early records of
the "fall" which
marks the
"act of disobedience" of mankind and the resulting curses on all
creation. Jesus
Christ himself defines
the Spirit of Antichrist: John 14:30-31 AMP 30 I will not talk
with you much
more, for the prince (evil genius, ruler) of the world is coming.
And he has no claim on Me. [He has nothing in common
with Me; there is nothing in Me
that belongs to him, and he has no
power over
Me.] 31 But [Satan is
coming and] I do
as the Father has commanded Me, so that the world may know
(be
convinced) that I love the Father and
that I do only what
the Father has instructed Me to do.
[I act in full agreement with His
orders.] Rise, let us go away from here.
Our Lord and Christ came to destroy the
works of the devil. 1 John
3:7-8 NKJV 8 He who
sins is of the devil, for the devil has sinned from the
beginning. For this purpose the Son
of God was manifested, that He
might destroy the works of the devil
Freedom
for All!
It
was the quality of the leadership and the principles of belief that won
the war!
God
had raised up another “Abraham!”
This
man studied the Word of God and
had shown greatness through
the testimony of God’s Word. Abraham
Lincoln became the “Head” of a great “United Nation.” It is
apparent, he understood the Great
Commission... …that the Lord’s
favor
is upon all men!
Metaphorically,
Abraham
Lincoln
became “mission minded” to proclaim the Good News to the meek, the poor and
afflicted; to bind up and heal the brokenhearted; proclaiming liberty
to the
physical and
spiritual captives; to tear down strongholds and open the prisons of
the bound; to open the eyes of
those who were blind; (blind to the equality of men and women) and to
proclaimthe
Day of
Jubilee!
reference: Isaiah 61:1
So, it
is… The call of God
upon His chosen “Generals”…to
raise
up
quality
leadership
in God’s
spiritual army, Today!! It
is timetoRise Victoriously!! Let us not miss
the opportunity
of a lifetime!
See the comprehensive study of raising up the governmental standard for
the Church, the Lord's one holy
apostolic church, (His church) that the "gates of hell"
(governments of apostate nations) shall not prevail against.
Matthew
16:17-19 NKJV 17 Jesus answered and said to him,
"Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jonah, for flesh and blood has
not revealed
this to you, but My Father who is in heaven.
18 And I also say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock I
will build My church, and the
gates of Hades shall not prevail
against it.
19 And I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven,
and whatever you bind on earth
will be bound in heaven, and whatever
you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven."
IT
IS TIME TO IGNITE FIRES!
IT IS TIME FOR HARVEST!
…Let
the
Banner Of Christ Reign!
Greater
Works
shall
you
do!
Believe!
And, Act!
A
late 16th century Spanish map shows a river within “the Florida’s” in which Pensacola
Florida was the capital.The
map calls the currently named
Mississippi River
“The
River del
Spirito Santo” or
the “River of the Holy
Spirit.”
From
spring-fed ravines, to mountain branches, from creeks and to small
meandering
steams flowing from river into river, the Great Mississippi flows where
it will
despite the dams and
the levees built by man. (Search the great flood of 2001!)
The great Mississippi flows into the
deep of the Gulf
of Mexico.
Likewise, The
Holy Spirit flows as sent by the Lord despite the plans of
men.
The
Holy Spirit is the "River
of God.”
He
carries us into the
depths of the presence of God!
{historical
excerpts
quoted
from
pamphlet
“Why
Pensacola,” L.A.W.
publisher, Pensacola.}
Jesus
said to His
apostles:“And
this
Gospel
of
the
Kingdomwill
be
preached
in
all
the
world,
as a witness to all the
nations,(Matthew
24:14)
If you
were
personally given a city, region, or nation to
evangelize, where
would you start?
How would you
accomplish the mission?
The first mission
field of the apostles were their “own-backyard.”
Holy
Ghost
revealed a pattern for
evangelizing.
Look What His Foot
Soldiers Did!
After going to the synagogues, they went
out of the “church”
and drew people through preaching
The Good News!!
(Acts
2:14-42; Acts 13:13-52) (note: Through preaching of the Gospel, the
newly established
church by the leadership of the apostles sought to
free the people who
were living under the
Laws of Moses. The Lord Jesus and John the Baptist both site the
hypocrisies of the
governing body, the Sanhedrin, during their missions. Regulations
relating to the Laws of Moses had been amended by
the bureaucratic religious leadership putting the nation in man made
bondages). We
are blessed to Go Forth...from within our
homes via the internet into the very heart
of each
household to draw people's attention to the cross of
Christ, sharing the truth
of the Word through the preaching and
teaching
of the Gospel with unified power of actions!
In
a
united
force,
we
can
transverse the internet reaching millions!
What an
“unique
opportunity”!
We
also have the opportunity to go into the Cities, the
Regions, and the Nations as a
witness, preaching the Good News! (See
1 John 4:1-6 and John
15:16)
Time,
space
and travel have been redeemed for
us by the
creation and
exponential growth of the internet!
The
Virtual Community!
We
can reach whole cities,
regions,
and nations of the world from
our
Internet protocol
positions!
What an
awesome power God has given
this
generation!
Let
me
ask
a
question...
Will you use the
talents
and gifts of God to help
others?
God
has
given
us
time
and abilities, how shall we use them?
=======================================
TThe
first choice is the way of the
Spirit. It is the
walk of faith in the "unseen" as God directs our path. The
second, is the way of the world.
It is the walk of "seeing" things in the physical while we direct
them.
The
way
of
the
Spirit: Jesus baptizes
with the Holy Ghost, and FIRE! Fire comes within us and ignites
us
in our soul and spirit mind. It is released through our
tongue!
(Matt.
3:11)
The
disciples started …intoxicated
by the Holy Ghost...
Fire
comes
by Heaven’s demand!
Jesus baptizes with the Holy Ghost Who transmits fire to
us!
Fire is manifest in zeal and boldness for the Gospel.
Recall
that God is a consuming
Fire!
Water is also an important
element
in our
spiritual lives!
The “water”
comes
to quince our thirst
for personal relationship through the...
“River of God.”
The
anointing power of the Word
is directly transferable. As we speak [The Spoken WORD is
SPIRIT]impartation manifests!
Even as you read, there is an impartation and transference of the
abiding power
of the Holy
Spirit. However, the spoken Word contains the power unto
salvation.
Romans
10:8-11 NKJV "The
word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart" (that is, the word
of faith which we preach):
9 that if you confess with your mouth the
Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the
dead, you will be saved.10 For with the heart one believes unto
righteousness, and
with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
Philippians 2:9-11 NKJV
9 Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name
which is above every name,
10 that at the name of Jesus every knee
should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth,
and of those
under the earth,11 and that every tongue should confess that Jesus
Christ is Lord,
to the glory of God the Father.
We
worship
the
Father
in
spirit and truth... hear the Voice of the
Holy Spirit! Jesus
is
speaking
to the twelve
disciples about the coming of the Holy Spirit:
John
16:14… "He will
honor and glorify Me, because He will take of
(receive, draw upon) what
is Mine and will reveal (declare, disclose, transmit) it
to
you.”
The Day of
Messiah is here! The Holy Ghost is forever being poured out! Celebration
of
Pentecost is Here! The trumpets have sounded!
(note: the mouth is the trumpet! It sounds the arrival of the Kingdom
and the fulfilled promise!) The
Promise:
Acts 2:17-21 AMP 17 And
it shall come to pass in the last days, God declares, that I will pour
out of My Spirit upon all mankind, and your sons and your daughters
shall prophesy [telling forth the divine counsels] and your young men
shall see visions ( divinely granted appearances), and your old men
shall dream [divinely suggested] dreams. 18 Yes,
and on My menservants also and on My maidservants in those days I will
pour out of My Spirit, and they shall prophesy [telling forth the
divine counsels and predicting future events pertaining especially to
God's kingdom]. 19 And I
will show wonders in the sky above and signs on the earth beneath,
blood and fire and smoking vapor; 20 The
sun shall be turned into darkness and the moon into blood before the
obvious day of the Lord comes--that great and notable and conspicuous
and renowned [day]. 21 And
it shall be that whoever shall call upon the name of the Lord
[invoking, adoring, and worshiping the Lord--Christ] shall be saved.
[Joel 2:28-32.] ===============================================================================
Law of Contact and Transmission
ACCORDING
TO YOUR FAITH, shall you receive!
ACCORDING TO YOUR FAITH, shall
you IMPART the
principles of the
KINGDOM!
Faith is exercised when the WORD of
GOD
is put into our spirit and spoken through the mouth!
Anointing presence of Holy Ghost is also released and imparted!
Transmittion of the Holy Spirit can also be exercised by the laying on
of hands and declaration
of Kingdom priciples which are to be
imparted. The baptism of the Holy Ghost as evidenced in speaking a spiritual
language ("tongues") can be imparted by the laying on of
hands as well
as healing.
Acts
8:18-19 AMP
18 However, when Simon saw that the [Holy] Spirit was imparted through
the laying on of the apostles' hands, he brought money and offered it
to them,
19 Saying, Grant me also this power and authority, in order that anyone
on whom I place my hands may receive the Holy Spirit. When we write, we
"mouth" words which are imparted to another! In John 14:12:
Jesus said,“Most
assuredly, I
say to you, He
who believes in Me, the
works that I do he
will do also,
and GREATER WORKS than
these
he
will do, because
I go to My Father:
and
whatever you ask in My Name, that I will do, that the Father may be
glorified
in the Son.”
Now,
John
14:26: “But the
Helper, The Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in My Name,
He will
teach you
all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I
said to you."
The WORD of GOD (Jesus Christ) is
imparted to
our spirit.In us He is
Spirit!
“Holy Spirit!”
He is the Light
of Life. He is the Light of Truth, the Spirit of Truth. He is
powerful. His power is transmitted through our
spirit minds and out of our mouths.
John
15:26:
Jesus said, “But when the Helper comes,whom
I shall
send
to you
from the Father,
THE SPIRIT OF
TRUTH who proceeds from the Father,
He will testify
of Me and
you will bear
witness [power
and
demonstration],because you
have been with Me from the
beginning.
=======================================
The beginning for us
is the Spirit Birth... conceived by the Spirit! (God knew us even
before we were in the Church’s womb).
Jesus emphatically
demands: The call to the Kingdom of God is not that we"should” be born of the Spirit, but,
that we "MUST" be born of the Spirit! He also said, “I
am THE WAY to the Father," (Jn. 14:6) John 16:1:
These things I have spoken to you, that you should not be made to
stumble. John 16:7-15:
“Nevertheless I tell you the truth. It is to your advantage that
I go away; for if I do not
go away, the Helper will not come to you; but if I depart, I will send
Him to you.
Lord Jesus says the
Holy Ghost is in us! HE IS SENT BY THE
LORD from the Father! Look at what
happens!! When HE has come,
HE will convict the world of SIN, and of RIGHTEOUSNESS, and of
JUDGEMENT: ►of Sin, because
they do not believe in
Me; ►of Righteousness,
because I go to My Father and you see Me no more; ►of Judgment,
because the ruler of this world is judged.
Greek
parakletos, Comforter/Advocate; one called to the side of
another for help or counsel.
John
16:12-15 NKJV 13 However, when
He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth;
for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He
will speak; and He will tell you things to come.14 He will glorify Me,
for He will take of what is Mine and declare it to you.15 All things
that the Father has are Mine. Therefore I said that He will take of
Mine and declare it to you.
The SPIRIT is our
Paraclete (standby)... our Helper on earth. He comes along side
to help us. CHRIST returned to
Heaven and is seated on the promised throne of David and with all power and authority, is
our Advocate before the Father!
Upon the ascension
of Christ to the throne of David, to the right hand of Father God... Holy Ghost was sent on the day of
Pentecost. (reference:Acts 2:1-4)
=======================================
THE
CALL: RESPOND!
Walk
and live habitually---Responsive to, controlled by, and guided by the
HOLY GHOST!
Write
the vision and make it plain on tablets, that he may
run who reads it, for the vision is yet for
an appointed time; but it
will
speak, and it will not lie. Though
it tarries, wait for it;because
it
will
surely come,it will not tarry.God has provided the anointingand the
grace that
we need to
accomplish His plan
in us.
We identify problems and
determine the solutions with the
Word
of God, the
anointingPresence
of the Person Holy Ghost and
the
grace
God has ordained
upon our
lives.Ezekiel
34:6
Let
our eyes be opened! We
see
many
of
the
“redemptive
called”
of God wandering, doing
everything other than what God has called us, His redeemed to
do...
we
are
to
live
and
have our being in His marvelous
Light!
It is
the “Church”
of which
God speaks... much like natural Israel: scattered within
every evil place chasing after self interests (graven images) and idols
(unrestrained pleasures).
Who
will
seek
them
that
they
may hear the Truth speaking Spirit to be set free of the
bondage
of worldly pursuits
and be redirected into a heart pulsating quest for the
Living God of heaven
and
earth, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, the inseparable One
God? Spiritually speaking, God
desires to
serve the bread, the water and the wine!
Where
are the hungry,
the dry
and the thirsty?
The
sheep
are
scattered
and
multitudes
have gone astray.
Do
we really
believe that God
desires that His people be brought into Kingdom Living, exercising
His
Kingdom
principles? Then is it time
to come together to seek them and restore them with the help of the
Word
and the Holy
Spirit?
Are
you called and
looking for placement?
Do you see how you can find connection
through this ministry
to
reach the internet community,
cities and nations with the uncompromised
message of
Jesus Christ?
The
Lord's
work
is
for
those who
have the
heart of David.
David loved the Lord with a fervent heart! He defied and rose above
what others considered impossible. David had a plan.
He had faith in the "rock" and his conviction gave ability to
accomplish the task. The Giant was slain. It is time
for the exceedingly great Army of
God to come forth who
are willing
to work in a TEAM... to pursue people that have been
scattered
among the
lost.
Luke
15:4-7
AMP
4
What
man
of
you,
if he has a hundred sheep and should lose one of
them,
does
not
leave
the ninety-nine in the wilderness (desert) and
go
after
the
one
that is lost until he finds it? 5
And
when
he
has
found it, he lays it on his [own] shoulders,
rejoicing. 6
And
when
he
gets
home, he summons together [his] friends and [his]
neighbors, saying to them, Rejoice with me, because I have found my
sheep which was lost. 7
Thus,
I
tell
you,
there will be more joy in heaven over one
[especially] wicked person who repents (changes his mind, abhorring
his errors and misdeeds, and determines to enter upon a better
course of life) than over ninety-nine righteous persons who have no
need of
repentance.
"Sheep"
are usually
scattered by evil
doers within their "pasture" (church) or by self
driven lusts.
The door is open for
you to connect relationally with
us and preach and
teach the message of the crucified
Christ and the full message of the work of the Holy Ghost:
See
the webpageHow Tofor simple
non-confrontational ways to
present
the
Gospel
of
the Kingdom.
=======================================
Who
will
respond
to
the
call
?
It
is going to be awesome when we do!
Jesus
came to
break the bonds of chains and deliver us!
We have the
opportunity to seek out both
the
lost and the scattered to share the truth
of the Holy One! When
Paul received THE CALL to Macedonia he
was called to a regional work. We are
called to Cities, Regions and to Nations...
Jesus
Christ is the Light
and the Gate!
Will
you connect as a "TEAM" participant to work for
the
cause of Christ with us?
With
pure heart, we
know we are
CALLED for unity of purpose to fulfill the Great Plan
of
the King! Galations
5:5-6...
"For
we,
[not
relying on the law but] through the [Holy]
Spirit's [help], by faith
anticipate and wait for the blessing and good
which our righteousness and right standing with God
[our conformity to His
will in purpose, thought and action, causes
us] to hope...
6(b)but only by faith activated and energized and expressed and working
through love."
The
ONE who
called, also,
commissioned each of us to work in
cooperation
to
build
the
KINGDOM
of GOD in the cities, regions
and nations!
His
purpose is
to bring
restoration to the
lost,
the hurt, the broken and the diseased as He
perfects the Church.
=======================================
Ephesians
4… Jesus assigned and
appointed His leaders. to build the church in the 1st century. He still
assigns and appoints leaders in the 21st century. They are called
the ascension-gift leaders given to the church...
Ephesians
4:9-12
NKJV 9(Now
this, "He ascended" -- what does it mean but that He also first
descended into the lower
parts of the earth?10 He who descended is also
the one who ascended far above all the heavens, that He might fill all
things.)
11 And
He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists,
and some pastors and teachers,
God equips
all those whom He calls!
We are all
born a human person separated from the knowledge and Persons of God.
We must first
respond to the Call of God through Christ and then become teachable.
=======================================
Our
appointments come
from
the KING of Kings!
God puts His set
of
qualifications upon each of us for the benefit of the Church
Body,
not for selfish near-sighted self
established “kingdoms." When
a grace of God is misused in a manner that is after
the “flesh”
spiritual darkness results.
(The
Presence of
the Holy Spirit becomes inactive/still/void: quiescent.)
God
will not co-mingle His Glory of spiritual Light and Life with the
darkness of
this world!
In
the beginning, He separated the light from the darkness. (Gen.
1:4) This is His Divine Order of ministry!
A
head of spiritual Life and
one of spiritual Death cannot exist together.
Light
has nothing to do with the darkness.
We
are to be the lights shining
upon the darkness: ► the
world’s
systems ► the
works of the flesh ► the
works
of
the
devil.
Jesus
came
to
defeat
and
annul
the works of the enemy. Listen to
Him speaking to his disciples:
John 14:30 AMP I will
not talk with you much more, for the prince (evil genius, ruler) of the world is coming.
And he has no claim on Me. [He has nothing in common with Me;
there is
nothing in Me that
belongs to him, and he has no power over Me.]
As
children of light, we are to separate
ourselves from darkness in
like
manner!
The
command
is specific to acts of darkness.
We are to walk in
Christ's marvelous Light, not in the dark actions
of the ways of
flesh.
1
John
2:15-17
AMP 15
Do
not
love
or
cherish the world or the things that are in the
world. If
anyone
loves
the
world,
love for the Father is not in him. 16
For
all
that
is
in the world--the lust of the flesh [craving
for
sensual
gratification]
and
the
lust
of
the eyes [greedy longings of the
mind] and the pride of life [assurance
in
one's
own
resources
or
in the
stability of earthly things]--
these
do not come from the Father but are
from the world [itself]. 17
And
the
world
passes
away and disappears, and with it the forbidden
cravings (the
passionate
desires,
the
lust)
of it; but
he who does the will of God and
carries out His
purposes in
his life abides (remains) forever.
=======================================
CALLED
of
God...
Note: References to the noun
"men"& "son" are non-gender
As a "son" you are no longer your own to give where and what you decide
to give.
God is no respecter of persons. His grace of salvation is
extended to everyone!
The recruitment into the military parallels the induction of the New
Birth.
We have a new set of rules to live within: that they may save our lives!
Lack of discipline leaves one weak and easy prey.
God makes the decision to make you a gift to others when you enter the
Kingdom!
However, there is a time for maturity for all of us!
The Holy Spirit is the Helper, the Standby, the Teacher, the Advocate
to Guide us in spiritual maturity.
It is He Who provides inspiration, illumination and enlightenment to
bring forth the revelation
of the Light of Jesus Christ as we progress in our assignments and
tasks.
We must prepare the way to knowledge and understanding.
He expects us to responsively administer the stewardship of His grace
that He gives freely!
Spiritual gifts are for the maturing and the equipping of the saints,
for the work of ministry,
and for the encouragement , comforting and promotion of the spiritual
growth of the Body
of Christ. God wants us to come together in unity of purpose!
Did you know?
God wants us to help each other... to take the Cities and the Nations!
The souls are our Inheritance in Christ!
They are the Great Harvest to fill the earth with God's glory!
We are His Design, fitted together by what each has been given to
supply both spiritual
and physical blessings! When ministries are in function, the Body
of Christ is able to edify itself!
Why
did Jesus give the five fold ministries of Ephesians 4:11?
Answer: He just gave us the names of the TEAM members
Apostles-Prophets-Evangelists-Pastors-Teachers
with whom He expects those called for His purposes...
to connect to accomplish His will.
What
is God’s will?
2 Corinthians 5:18…”Now all
things are of God, who has reconciled us to
Himself through Jesus Christ, and has given us the ministry of
reconciliation.”
Our charge is to find (seek/search) the lost and the scattered.
To seek and find requires the whole "TEAM."
John
14:12-15 AMP I
assure you, most solemnly I tell you, if anyone steadfastly believes in
Me, he will
himself be able to do the things that I do; and he will do even greater
things than
these, because I go to the Father. And I
will do [I Myself will grant] whatever you ask in My Name [as
presenting all that I AM], so that
the Father may be glorified and extolled in (through) the Son. [Yes] I
will grant [I
Myself will do for you] whatever you shall ask in My Name [as
presenting all that I AM]. If you
[really] love Me, you will keep (obey) My commands.
The reason Jesus assured that Greater Works would be done is because he
knew that when He ascended to the Father, the Holy Ghost would be sent
with fire and power from the throne room to earth to empower the church!
The “Work of Christ” is to be achieved with a “team!” It is to be
achieved through apostolic order...
In order to reconcile others to God , we must be reconciled in
truth... in love. With God, men (non-gender) must change in
attitude and heart to be reconciled to God by His Grace
and Love by receiving the life and work of His Son, Jesus Christ. Reconciliation
denotes an exchange; a change on the part of one party, induced by an
action on the part of another. With man (non-gender), men must
remove all enmity of heart (forgive one another) and leave no
impediment to unity and peace.
Where men will not reconcile one to another or to Christ, they are
under condemnation, exposed to God’s wrath. It is the
responsibility of “ team ministry,” through the ascension gifts of
Christ, God’s appointed leaders: the five-fold ministries within Spirit
given, ministry vision to work together in the counsel of God’s Word
and the fellowship of the Holy Ghost to reach the lost and the
scattered!
Look at these patterns of Reconciliation that God has given to us:
► "team"…Father, Son and Holy Ghost...
►"team"... Moses and Aaron. (see Exodus 4:29) They went and
gathered (in Egypt, the world
of the “lost”) all the elders and families of the [scattered] “Church”
of Israel . Aaron spoke all the words which the Lord had
given to Moses. Then Moses did the signs in the sight of the
people.
So the people believed, and when they had heard (the Word preached)
that the Lord
had visited (they knew it was God) and that He had looked (in
compassion) upon their afflictions.
They bowed their heads and worshipped... (reconciliation to
God).
[This is a "type and shadow" of the work of the Gospel!]
► "team"...We must inspire the 21st century CHURCH to desire to develop
a personal relationship
with the Person Holy Ghost. When we commune with Him, we commune
with the Father and the Son
for these three are one God. As we worship God, we commune in
Spirit and Truth...
Through the preaching of the Gospel, the Holy Ghost releases the
power for effective outreach
to lead souls to the Lord Jesus Christ!...reconciled to God!
=======================================
True
Worship: God dwelling
eternally as One God in three Personshas
inspired awe and wonder
in the hearts of man, enlightening , enriching and elevating his view
of Almighty God.
It is truth
which has provoked worship and adoration to the Blessed Trinity.
This worship entails worship of the Godhead as Father, Son and Holy
Ghost (Spirit).
It is their own divine position as clearly
demonstrated through the Old and New Testament that these three are God
in distinction of persons.
This is not to say we worship to "each one of the three Persons as
three Gods Our Christian faith is in One
God existing in three distinct Persons.
To
build
toward impacting a "City" requires "team" ministry!
The "CITY" of which we
speak is God's "City of Lights,"
the
New
Jerusalem
on
earth:
Not His
Eternal Church of Heaven,
but all the following:
► The Kingdom of
Heaven on Earth, Christ's Church, spiritual Zion ► The Church of the
Virtual World...
the "born again church" of the world
wide web ► The Church
on earth with the
foundation of Jesus Christ, the Son of God,
is the New Jerusalem, the City of the Kingdom, The City of Lights, the Church Universal.
=======================================
There
is
something Greater than ourselves that God has provided! It
is
the
full
Body
of Christ that will come into the Covenant of Christ. You

Study
the
Apostles
Revelation
of
Apostolic
Christianity built upon the foundation
of
the following 7 building blocks (truths), Christ being the Chief
Cornerstone of the
church. 1. Scripture reveals the Apostles
Understanding that the promise to David
and the
father’s of Israel concerning
Messiah’s Kingdom has already
been
fulfilled
in the resurrection of Jesus. 2. Scripture reveals the
Apostles Understanding of Kingdom Initiation... the proper response to the Gospel of the
Apostles is to repent, be baptized,
receive
the gift of the Holy
Spirit, and be added to the Lord’s Church.
3. Scripture reveals the Apostles' Understanding that the New
Covenant in the Blood
of
Jesus Christ Is the Promised
Blessing or Mercies of David.
4. Scripture reveals the
Apostles' Understandingthat the Church Is Zion, the Promised
House of God and
the
Restored House of David.
5. Scripture reveals the
Apostles' Understanding that the Jewish Age is behind the
Church, not
ahead of the Church!
6. Scripture reveals the
Apostles' Understanding that Apostolic Government
(the
Apostolate) is the basis
of the Church’s Unity and the Foundation or
Key to the Church’s
Success.
7. Scripture reveals the
Apostles' Understanding that the Nations are a vital part of the
Church’s
Heritage!
God
gives
each
of
us
Grace that we are victorious in His plan and design
for the
Calling. Grace
results in New Relationships and New Identity for our
lives
and all
those we are called to serve. In
Christ’s stead, the Person Holy Spirit guides us
in
fellowship with each other as we submit to each other
in the graces of holiness and purposes of our Heavenly Father.
God
is the visionary and we are dedicated to His will.
Those who come into relationship
in this vision will grow experientially in the wonderful,
magnificent, glorious Lord we serve!
We have an awesome responsibility to administer the love of God and not
the intents of our
finite minds. The Heart of God has been conveyed in this letter in
sincerity, enlightenment
and words of encouragement. God is both a GOOD God and a
Chastening God...
He has given us the patterns for our growth and functions.
God
is a consuming Fire!
