Revelation
of
an
Apostolic
God
Hebrews
3:1
AMP
3:1
SO
THEN,
brethren,
consecrated
and
set
apart for God, who share in
the heavenly calling,
[thoughtfully and attentively]
consider Jesus, the
Apostle and High Priest Whom we
confessed
[as
ours when we embraced the
Christian faith].
The
emphasis
of
New
Testament
ministry
is to be focused on the saving
grace
and redemptive
work of Christ relating to His Life,
Ministry, Crucifixion, Death,
Burial,
Descent into
hell, Resurrection from the dead,
Ascension to heaven and Enthronement
at the right-hand
of Father God to eternally rule
heaven and earth from the promised
throne of
David. Christ's ministry is
the work
of The Apostle and The High Priest.
Jesus
Christ
was
SENT
to
the earth to accomplish the purposes
of Father
God.
He
and
He alone is the Apostle sent down
from heaven from
the
Father.
No
other religion can make this claim.
All
other religions
are
made
after
the
hearts and minds of men AND
therefore are FALSE!
Jesus
Christ
succeeded
in
His
mission!
He is ruling today, King of the
Kingdom
of
God,
the Apostle and
High Priest of His Church.
● What
is
the
Work
of The Apostle... Christ's
apostolic ministry?
Apostolic
is based on the Greek word
apostolos (apo,
"from," stello, to
send"); the
act of sending another forth
on special
appointment to
represent
oneself; a delegate, one sent
with full
power of attorney to act
in the
place of another, the sender
remaining behind
to back up the one
sent.
Apostolic means God sends one
to do what
He, Himself would do
if He went.
The Greek term apostolos is
used 81
times in the scriptures.
(translates
as “apostle”78 times; as
“messenger” 2 times [ 2Cor.
8:33;
Phil. 2:25]
and once as “he that is sent”
[John
13:16]
"Apostolic" is a
word of divine origin. It is
Spirit breathed and
inspired
to refer to everything that
pertains to Jesus Christ, the
Anointed
One, the Chief Apostle, sent
to earth to demonstrate God's
absolute
sovereignty and His
inescapable Presence.
Thus, we
see Him calling out men and
sending them on divine
mission as
Apostles of the Lamb, and as
Ascension-gift Apostles
divinely
given to the Church.
This act of Assignment and
Sending
is an attribute
of our Trinue
God!
Hebrews
3:1
KJV
...consider
the
Apostle
and
High
Priest
of
our
profession,
Christ
Jesus;
Thus,
we
see
Him
calling
out
men
and
sending
them
on
divine
mission
as
Apostles
of
the
Lamb,
and
as The First Ascension-Gifts
of mankind given
to
the
Church...
apostles,
prophets,
evangelists,
pastors,
and
teachers.
Ascension-Gift
appointments
are
commended
by
the
Lord
Jesus
Himself.
The
21st
century
Church
is
being
exponentially
enlarged
with
these
divine
servants
as
they
train
and
equip
the
saints
of
God
for
the
work
of
the
ministry.
Ephesians
4:12
AMP
...the
perfecting
and
the
full
equipping
of
the
saints
(His
consecrated
people),
[that
they
should
do]
the
work
of
ministering
toward
building
up
Christ's
body
(the
church),
God's
sovereign
nature,
character,
wisdom,
righteous
judgment
and
purposes
are
centered
in
creation.
These
attributes
give
identity
and
validity
to
His
great
pleasure
and
blessings
toward
everything
created!
Blessing
is
the
endowment
of
Increase...Multiplicity!
The aposotlic
work of the Son of God began in the
very beginning of God's plan for
creating
mankind. After the fall of
Satan from
heaven of which we have no measure
of time, the Holy
Spirit was
sent to hover or brood over the
unihabitable darkness of the waters
and void of the
once
created and habitable earth in which
we
have evidence through fossil
remains.
Genesis
1:2-3
AMP
2
The
earth
was
without
form
and an empty waste, and darkness
was upon
the face of the very
great deep. The
Spirit of God was moving
(hovering,
brooding) over the face of the
waters.

And
God
said,
Let
there
be light; and there was light.
"Glory of the Lesser Light!"

Genesis
1:14-16 AMP
14
And
God
said,
Let
there
be
lights in the expanse of the
heavens to
separate the day from the
night, and
let them be signs and tokens [of
God's
provident care], and [to mark]
seasons, days,
and years, [Gen 8:22.]
15
And
let
them
be
lights
in
the expanse of the sky to give
light upon
the earth. And it was so.
16
And
God
made
the
two
great
lights--the greater light (the
sun) to
rule the day and the lesser
light
(the moon) to rule the night. He
also
made the stars.
"GOD
SAID!"
(He spoke and
commanded
by His sovereignty)
(Readers,
let
us
observe
the
divine
attributes
by revelation of the
scriptures of our aposotolic
God!)
In
Genesis 1:1, the Holy Spirit is
sent on
a
divine
mission
to
accomplish
a
predetermined Plan
and
Will of the Father who is the
Source of
all authority and power in
heaven and in earth.
In
Genesis 1:2, the WORD
representing the
creator, the Son of God, speaks
and commands the
unseen
world to manifest the Will of
the
Father! The Light is
inseperable from the nature of
the Son!
John
1:1-11 AMP
1:1 IN THE
beginning [before all time]
was the Word ( Christ), and
the Word was
with God,
and
the
Word
was
God
Himself.
[Isa
9:6.]
2
He
was
present
originally
with
God.
3
All
things
were
made
and
came
into existence through Him;
and without
Him was not even
one
thing
made
that
has
come
into
being.
4
In
Him
was
Life,
and
the
Life was the Light of men.
5
And
the
Light
shines
on
in
the darkness, for the darkness
has never
overpowered it
[put
it
out
or
absorbed
it
or
appropriated it, and is
unreceptive to
it].
6
There
came
a
man
sent
from
God, whose name was John. [Mal
3:1.]
7
This
man
came
to
witness,
that
he might testify of the Light,
that
all men might believe in it
[adhere
to
it,
trust
it,
and
rely
upon it] through him.
8
He
was
not
the
Light
himself,
but came that he might bear
witness
regarding the Light.
9
There
it
was--the
true
Light
[was
then] coming into the world
[the
genuine, perfect,
steadfast
Light]
that
illumines
every
person.
[Isa
49:6.]
10
He
came
into
the
world,
and though the world was made
through Him,
the world did not
recognize
Him
[did
not
know
Him].
11
He
came
to
that
which
belonged to Him [to His
own--His domain,
creation, things, world],
and
they
who
were
His
own
did
not receive Him and did not
welcome Him.
As we can
witness by the scriptures, God
is manifest
in the same dynamics of the New
and
the Old... Christ
is the First and the Last, the
Alpha
and Omega, the First and
Everlasting God.
Jesus is the First
born from the dead...
Colossians
1:15-18 AMP
15[Now] He is the
exact likeness of the unseen
God [the visible
representation of the
invisible];
He
is
the
Firstborn
of
all
creation.
16
For
it
was
in
Him
that all things were created,
in heaven and on
earth, things seen and things
unseen,
whether
thrones,
dominions,
rulers,
or
authorities; all things
were created and exist
through
Him
[by
His
service,
intervention]
and in and for Him.
17
And
He
Himself
existed
before
all things, and in Him all
things
consist (cohere, are held
together).
[Prov 8:22-31.]
18
He
also
is
the
Head
of [His] body, the church;
seeing He is the
Beginning, the Firstborn
from
among
the
dead,
so
that
He
alone in everything and in
every
respect might occupy the
chief
place
[stand
first
and
be
preeminent].
Let us
understand that where Hebrews
identifies The Apostle and the
Priest, Jesus, Son of God
is in
First standing and preeminent as
The
First Apostle and The First
Priest. His apostleship as
we
have
examined in the scriptures of
Genesis
originates in the re-creation of
the earth, the heavens
and
divine implementation by which
to measure
life by days, nights and
time. God gave the same
character
traits as He possesses to man
and woman
in the creation as "Like Image."
We are
destiny lights of Christ to be
conformed to His Image!
Philippians
2:15-16 AMP
15
That you may
show yourselves to be
blameless and guileless,
innocent and
uncontaminated,
children
of
God without blemish
(faultless, unrebukable) in
the midst
of a crooked and wicked
generation [spiritually
perverted and perverse], among
whom you are
seen as bright lights
(stars
or
beacons shining out clearly)
in the [dark] world,
16
Holding
out [to it] and offering [to
all men] the Word of Life,...
Man is
charged with a Dominion
Mandate. Adam-man
and Adam-female failed to
protect the
mandate
through disobedience. Thus, they
lost the
power to rule over the creation.
Jesus
was SENT on apostolic mission to
earth
to make a peace treaty between
mankind and
Father
God. His mission was
three-fold.
1. First, His stategy was
to defeat the
enemy satan and
destroy his works of evil as
ruler of
stealing,
destroying
and killing.
2. The
Lord Jesus was SENT to reclaim
the
power of death as one of His
major
objectives.
3. The Lord
was SENT to establish the New
Creature... the Spiritual
Church...the New Covenant.
The
Lord's apostleship is preeminent
and
His
priesthood
is
recognized
in
the Order of Melchizedek.
King
David of the united kingdom of
Judah and
Israel speaks prophetically as
he is given revelation
of
God's promise to establish a Son
that will
reign eternally upon David's
throne.
Psalm
110:1-4 AMP
THE
LORD
(God)
says
to
my
Lord (the Messiah), Sit at My right
hand,
until I make Your adversaries
Your footstool.
[Matt 26:64; Acts 2:34; 1 Cor
15:25; Col 3:1; Heb 12:2.]
2 The Lord
will send forth from Zion the
scepter of Your strength; rule,
then, in the midst of Your
foes. [Rom
11:26,27.]
3 Your people will offer themselves
willingly in the day of Your power,
in the beauty of holiness
and in holy
array out of the womb of the
morning; to You [will spring forth]
Your young men,
who are as
the dew.
4 The Lord has sworn and will not
revoke or change it: You are a
priest
forever, after the manner
and order of
Melchizedek. [Heb 5:10;
7:11,15,21.]
{HGMI
note:
The
apostle
Peter
is
given
understanding of Psalm 110:1 on
the Day of Pentecost
and proclaims
the Truth of the event with
perfect
accuracy as he explains to the
Jews the reality
of what they
are experiencing is the
fulfillment of
the prophet Joel 2:28-32 and
Psalm 110 whereby
Jesus,
resurrected and ascended is
enthroned at the
right hand of the Father.
The confirmation of
this apostolic
assignment is the SENDING of the
Holy Ghost by
Father
God
upon
the
people
of the
New Creation,
Spiritual Zion, the New Temple
of
God. The New Covenant is
ratified in the
resurrection of
the Lord, His ascension
witnessed and His
confirmation as the inaugurated
King
by the
arrival of the Holy Spirit in
the upper room
evidenced by the drunken stuper
and manifested
diversity and
articulation of unknown tongues
as tongues
or languages were spoken and
fully
understandstood
by the Jews from
every
nation who
where
assembled
in
Jerusalem
to celebrate
the
Passover and the Feast of
Penecost. Pentecost
or
Shavuot
has
many
names
in the Bible
(the Feast of
Weeks, the Feast of Harvest, and the
Latter Firstfruits). Celebrated on
the fiftieth day
after Passover,
Shavuot
is
traditionally
a
joyous time of giving thanks and
presenting
offerings for
the new grain of the
summer wheat harvest in Israel. The
name "Feast of Weeks" was given
because
God commanded the Jews
in Leviticus
23:15-16, to count seven full weeks
(or 49 days) beginning
onthe second day
of Passover, and then present
offerings of
new grain to the Lord as a lasting
ordinance.
Acts
2:14-21
AMP
14
But
Peter,
standing
with
the
eleven, raised his voice and
addressed
them: You Jews and all you
residents of
Jerusalem, let this be
[explained] to you so
that you will know and
understand;
listen closely to what I have
to say.

spoken through the
prophet Joel:

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

counsels]

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].

I will show wonders in the sky
above and signs on the earth
beneath,

its spiritual context, not as a
literal translation]
The
outpouring of the Holy Spirit of
God came and
still comes to dwell within His
people.
The church
has been living in Messiah's
Day, His
ruling millennial reign, for the
past
2000 years.
Jesus Christ is ruling the
nations,
Today!
The
Jewish
campaign
is behind the church!
God does not have two
agendas.
He has One plan for
mankind!
The
heresy
that God has two plans for the
salvation of men originated
in the 1800's
by John
Nelson Darby. God does
not have a plan
to treat 21st century Jews
differently
than all
other men on planet
earth! He closed
out the Old Covenant worship
in 70 AD.
He is not
going to re-install Jesus on
an earthly
throne.
All
who
believe
in
Jesus
Christ
as the
Son of God are
One; the New
Creation, the
Perfect
Man,
the Kingdom of
Israel, the
fulfillment of

Abraham and of
David.

God the
Father, God
the Son and
God the Holy
Spirit so weak

12[Therefore
beware]
brethren, take
care, lest
there be in
any one of you
a wicked,
unbelieving
heart [which
refuses to
cleave to,
trust in, and
rely on
Him], leading
you to turn
away and
desert
or stand aloof
from the
living God.
13 But instead
warn
(admonish,
urge, and
encourage) one
another
every
day, as long
as
it is called
Today,
that none of
you may be
hardened [into
settled
rebellion] by
the
deceitfulness
of sin [by the
fraudulence,
the stratagem,
the trickery
which the
delusive
glamor of his
sin may play
on him].
14
For we have
become fellows
with Christ
(the Messiah)
and
share in all
He has for us,
if only we
hold our first
newborn
confidence and
original
assured
expectation
[in virtue of
which
we are
believers] firm
and unshaken
to the end.
Question:
Do
you see or
hear a claim
that Jesus is
coming back to
do the work
that
He has SENT
for
the
Church
to do?
To be SENT in
apostolic
power?
Answer:
Dispensationalist
would have us
shaking in our
boots at every
earthquake,
every
tyrannical
regime
who threatens
other nations,
every
terrorist
attack,
every
change
of
government
heads, every
wind of
doctrine that
is
carried by
unsound
teachers
looking
into the
newspaper,
television and
Internet
news thread
proclaiming
the
devil
has won and
Jesus is
coming back
quickly.
By default,
they
declare
a
message that
the Church of
Jesus Christ
is a weak
church
and must
be
taken
out
of this
perverse
generation.
"Get ready!
Jesus is
coming to save
you!
The
prophetic
voice
of God is
saying escape,
escape.. this
earthly
plain!
Jesus needs to
come back to
rescue the
Church! All
the
woes of this
self-centered
perverse
world
has over-taken
the
Church.
The Church is
without
power!
Help! "
Do
a
study
on John Nelson
Darby who not
only published
ans promoted
the
doctrines
of
dispensationalism,
but
also,"refined
and promoted"
the teaching
of a "double
rapture.
The Bible
attests to One
"rapture!"
The
false
teachings of
dispensationalism
invented by
John Nelson
Darby 180
years ago
whereby he
introduced two
classes
of people of
God in a
scheme to deal
separately
with the
Jew and the
Gentile is
heresy.
God has made
us ONE BODY!
In the Church,
a demon is
blamed for
everything!
This, too, is
Heresy!
The Church is
steeped
in
demonology!
Witchcraft is
practiced in
unlimited
bounds!
Gossip runs
ramport
in the Church
doing exactly
what the
'father of
lies" has
purposed...
lie, kill,
steal,
destroy.
The firstwords
out of the
mouth of the
Church is
"Look at what
the devil has
done!"
"The devil
made me do
it!"
"The
devil... The
devil... the
devil..
Let's set the record
straight!
The devil is
not
omnipresent!
Ok, I
have vented!
So did
the Lord at
the
falsehoods of
the Jewish
leadership!
Do
you recall
both he and
john the
baptist used a
keen term for
them that
echo's of an
event
in the Garden
of Eden...
Matthew
23:32-35
KJ
V
Jesus spoke:
32
Fill ye up
then the
measure of
your fathers.
33
Ye
serpents,
ye generation
of vipers, how
can ye escape
the
damnation of
hell?
34
Wherefore,
behold, I send
unto you
prophets, and
wise men,
and scribes:
and some
of
them
ye
shall kill and
crucify; and
some of them
shall ye
scourge in
your
synagogues,
and
persecute
them
from city to
city:
35
That
upon
you may come
all the
righteous
blood shed
upon the
earth,
from the blood
of
righteous
Abel
unto the blood
of Zacharias
son of
Barachias,
whom ye
slew between
the
temple
and
the altar.
John
the baptist
spoke:
Luke 3:7
KJV
Then said he
to the
multitude that
came forth to
be baptized of
him, O
generation of
vipers,
who
hath warned
you to flee
from the wrath
to come?
Question:
When you
confess with
your mouth are
you SENDING?
Answer:
Yes, to
confess with
your mouth is
an apostolic
action!
Your
confession
is
empowered by
the Holy
Spirit and the
power in the
repentant
heart
releases
you
from the hold
of darkness
for a miracle
regeneration
of your
spirit
man.
God
the Holy
Spirit then
translates you
out of the
kingdom of
darkness
into
the
Kingdom
of Light of
Father God's
dear Son,
Jesus Christ!
Romans
10:8-13 AMP

But
what
does it say? The Word (God's
message in Christ) is near you,
on your lips
and in your
heart; that is, the Word (the
message,
the basis and object) of faith
which
we preach,
[Deut 30:14.]
9 Because if
you acknowledge and confess with
your
lips that Jesus is Lord and in
your heart
believe (adhere
to, trust in, and rely on the
truth) that
God raised Him from the dead,
you will
be saved.
10 For with the
heart a person believes (adheres
to,
trusts in, and relies on Christ)
and so is
justified
(declared righteous, acceptable
to God), and
with the mouth he confesses
(declares
openly and speaks
out freely his faith) and
confirms
[his] salvation.
11 The Scripture
says, No man who believes in Him
[who
adheres to, relies on, and
trusts in
Him] will
[ever] be put to shame or be
disappointed.
12[No one] for there
is
no
distinction
between Jew and Greek.
The same Lord
is Lord over all [of us] and He
generously bestows His riches
upon all who
call upon Him
[in faith].
13 For everyone who
calls upon the name of the Lord
[invoking Him as Lord] will be
saved.
Romans
10:14-116 AMP
14
But how are people to call upon
Him Whom they have not believed
[in
Whom they have
no faith, on
Whom they have no reliance]? And
how
are they to believe in Him
[adhere to,
trust in, and
rely upon Him] of Whom they have
never
heard?
And how are
they to hear without a preacher?
15 And how can men
[be expected to] preach unless
they are sent?
As it is
written,
How beautiful are
the feet of those who bring glad
tidings! [How welcome is the
coming
of those who
preach the good news of His good
things!] [Isa 52:7.]
16 But they have
not all heeded the Gospel; for
Isaiah
says, Lord, who has believed
(had faith
in) what he has h
The
Apostles
of
the Lamb and the Early Church
Ascension-gift apostles
such as Paul & Barnabas
fulfilled
their apostolic missions!
Hear what the
Lord spoke which confirms His
giving
of Ascension-gift men to the
Church:
They are
divinely called into service and
are
SENT!
Acts 9:13-16 AMP
13
But
Ananias answered, Lord, I have heard
many people tell about this
man, especially
how much evil and
what great suffering he has
brought on Your saints at Jerusalem;
14 Now he is here and
has authority from the high priests
to put in chains all who call upon
Your name.
15 But the Lord
said to him, Go, for this man is a
chosen instrument of Mine to bear My
name
before the Gentiles
and kings and the descendants of
Israel;
16 For I will
make clear to him how much he will
be
afflicted and must endure and suffer
for
My name's sake.
Now hear
Paul
confirm His appointment and His
being SENT:
Romans
15:16-17 AMP
In
making me a
minister of Christ Jesus to
the Gentiles. I act in the
priestly service
of the Gospel
(the
good
news) of God, in order that
the sacrificial offering of
the
Gentiles may be acceptable
[to
God],
consecrated and made holy by
the Holy Spirit.
17
In
Christ Jesus, then, I have
legitimate reason to glory
(exult) in
my work for God
[in
what
through Christ Jesus I have
accomplished concerning the
things
of God].
Provision was
made in the atonement, the blood
sacrifice of the flesh of the
Lord Jesus unto death
for the unity
of both Jew and Gentile to come
into
the Apostolic Kingdom of God as
one nation as
kings and
priests unto God, (Rev 11:9) men
from the
races and tribes and languages
and nations
as born-again
spiritual sons of obedience who
love
and worship God in spirit and
truth.
The
resurrection conquered the sting
of death.
Eternal life is the reward of
the free gift of salvation
through the
mandated Gospel of Jesus
Christ!
All are to repent and come into
right relationship
with
God. Jesus gave mankind a
peace that
passes all understanding.
Why would God
extend a treaty of peace to
sinful and
rebellious mankind?
John 3:16 is
the source to God's answer to
this
question! He loves all of
mankind!
Father God hates
evil and has made a way to exit
out of
the prince of the demonic
kingdom
of darkness.
Father God offers His LIGHT of
Christ
in Truth, Life and the Spirit as
His peace treaty
James
1:17-18 NKJV
BibleTranslation
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.
18 Of His own
will He brought us forth by
the word of
truth, that we might be a
kind of firstfruits
of His creatures.
His treaty demands
a total surrender and a
commitment to
engage in His training program
to learn of
the culture of the Kingdom of
His
Christ.
It is God who
initiates the apostolic acts..
He is the
SENDER... Only the Lord can draw
out,
commend and
anoint for service by the
abiding
presence and work of the Holy
Ghost.
Men can only
recognize that which the Lord
has done
in an individual's life!
Men cannot
ordain spiritual endowments. The
Holy
Ghost ordains with
His empowerment
of the Gifts
of the Spirit.
Men can
release anointing and divine
transference or
impartation by the laying on of
hands and
exercise of
faith. Faith then can be spoken
by
proclamation or decree as
uttered in exercise
of the Gifts
of the Spirit. Men of God
(non-gender) may witness and
license that others may know
of the witnessed
work of the Spirit in the life
and
ministry of one who hears and
responds to the
call of the Lord
to a ministry office
appointment.
Have you ever been
asked these questions:
●
What
is
apostolic
ministry?
●
What
did
the
Lord
Jesus
Christ understand about Who He was
and
about
His
Apostolic
Mission?
●
What
does
it
mean
that
the Church is to be apostolic?
●
What
is
the
authentic
apostolic
faith Jesus Christ originally
entrusted
to
the
apostles
and
revealed
in
the
Scriptures?
Apostolic
ministry is well defined by the New
Testament not only in words but by
deeds.
Let us
review those whom are identified as
apostles carrying a definite
function of the calling:
Matt
10:2-8
AMP
2
Now
these
are
the
names
of the Twelve apostles (special
messengers):
first,
Simon,
who
is
called
Peter,
and Andrew his brother; James son of
Zebedee,
and
John
his
brother;
3
Philip
and
Bartholomew
[Nathaniel];
Thomas
and Matthew the tax
collector;
James
son
of
Alphaeus,
and
Thaddaeus [Judas, not Iscariot];
4
Simon
the
Cananaean,
and
Judas
Iscariot, who also betrayed Him.
5
Jesus
sent
out
these
Twelve,
charging them, Go nowhere among the
Gentiles
and
do
not
go
into
any town of the Samaritans;
6
But
go
rather
to
the
lost sheep of the house of Israel.
7
And
as
you
go,
preach,
saying, The kingdom of heaven is at
hand!
8
Cure
the
sick,
raise the dead, cleanse the
lepers, drive out demons
(HGMI
note;
The
Sending into this mission of
Christ's this apostolic teams
were before
His enthronement and the
out-pouring of the Holy Ghost.
On the Day
of Penecost, Peter recognized the
Kingdom of God had been initiated!
Before the
enthronement Jesus spoke of things
at 'hand meaning near"
After the
enthronement the Church was
empowered and the Kingdom
became
"NOW." The Day of enthronement
announced the reign of Christ,
the Day of
Messiah's reign established on the
eternal throne of David.
The Church
must grasp this reality! We
must see into this revelation
proclaimed
by Peter!

(HGMI
note:
The
Apostles
of
the Lamb, Matthias the chosen
replacement of Judas Iscariot's
portion of the
apostolate, and the
Ascension-gift
apostles
are
all
called
and
commended by Christ)
Acts
1:23-26 NKJV
23
And
they
proposed
two:
Joseph
called
Barsabas,
who was surnamed Justus, and
Matthias.
24 And they
prayed and said, "You, O Lord, who
know the hearts of all, show which
of these two
You have
chosen
25 to take
part in this ministry and
apostleship from which Judas by
transgression fell,
that he
might go to
his own place."
26 And they
cast their lots, and the lot fell
on
Matthias.
And he was
numbered with the eleven apostles.
Matthias
(
Acts
1:26)
chosen
as
one who had been with the Lord from
the
time
of
His
baptism
who
also
traveled with the apostles.
Acts
1:20-26
AMP
20
For
in
the
book
of
Psalms it is written, Let his place
of residence
become
deserted
and
gloomy,
and
let
there be no one to live in it; and
[again],
Let
another
take
his
position
or overseership. [Ps 69:25;
109:8.]
21
So
one
of
the
[other]
men who have accompanied us
[apostles] during
all
the
time
that
the
Lord
Jesus went in and out among us,
22
From
the
baptism
of
John
at the outset until the day when He
was
taken
up
from
among
us--one
of
these men must join with us and
become
a
witness
to
testify
to
His resurrection.
23
And
they
accordingly
proposed
(nominated)
two men, Joseph called
Barsabbas,
who
was
surnamed
Justus,
and
Matthias.
24
And
they
prayed
and
said,
You, Lord, Who know all hearts (
their
thoughts,
passions,
desires,
appetites,
purposes,
and
endeavors),
indicate
to
us
which
one
of
these two You have chosen
25
To
take
the
place
in
this ministry and receive the
position of an
apostle,
from
which
Judas
fell
away
and went astray to go [where he
belonged]
to
his
own
[proper]
place.
26
And
they
drew
lots
[between
the two], and the lot fell on
Matthias;
and
he
was
added
to
and
counted
with the eleven apostles (special
messengers).
As
with
the
appointments
of
the
12 Apostles of the Lamb,
Ascension-gift
appointments
are
also
called
and
commended by
the Lord Jesus Himself.
Ephepsians
4:10-11
AMP
10
He
Who
descended
is
the
[very] same as He Who also has
ascended
high
above
all
the
heavens,
that
He [His presence] might fill all
things
(the
whole
universe,
from
the
lowest
to the highest).
11
And
His
gifts
were
[varied;
He Himself appointed and gave men to
us]
some
to
be
apostles
(special
messengers),
some prophets (inspired
preachers
and
expounders),
some
evangelists
(preachers
of the Gospel,
traveling
missionaries),
some
pastors
(shepherds
of
His flock) and
teachers.
These
ascension
-gift
apostles
are specifically named in the
scriptures.
Some consider
that the references to others who
worked with the named apostles
count 70.
This is a supposition.
Definitely they were ascension-gift
team workers.

PAUL,
AN apostle--[special messenger
appointed and

sent

not
from
[any body of] men nor by or
through
any
man,
but
by
and
through Jesus Christ (the Messiah)
and
God
the
Father,
Who
raised
Him
from among the dead--
Christ
continues to call
and
commend Ascension-gift
apostles
to
the
service of the Church!
The
21st
Century
Church
is
being
exponentially enlarged with divinely
called
ascension-gift
servants
to
train
and
equip the saints of God for
the
work
of
the
ministry.
Ephesians
4:12-13
AMP
12
His
intention
was
the
perfecting
and the full equipping of the saints
(His
consecrated
people),
[that
they
should
do] the work of ministering
toward
building
up
Christ's
body
(the
church),
13[That
it
might
develop]
until
we
all attain oneness in the faith and
in the
comprehension
of
the
[full
and
accurate]
knowledge of the Son of God,
that
[we
might
arrive]
at
really
mature manhood (the completeness of
personality
which
is
nothing
less
than
the standard height of Christ's
own
perfection),
the
measure
of
the
stature of the fullness of the
Christ
and
the
completeness
found
in
Him.
To
understand
true
apostolic ministry today, or the
fellowship
of
the
apostles
we
must
understand that all
true apostolic
ministry
is
initiated
out
of
the Lord Jesus Christ's
apostolate.
He
ordained
and
divinely
called
the
5-fold ministry to His Body.
The
Gospels
and
the
Letters
of
the New Testament of the eye
witness
apostles
and
the
ascension-gift apostles give us
insight
into who the Lord Jesus
Christ
is
and
why
He
came
to earth...
the One sent by the Father of
Heaven,
the
Father
(source)
of
physical and spiritual Light.
James
1:17-18
NKJV
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.
May God
richly bless
and keep you!
