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 Triune 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 apostolic 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
uninhabitable darkness
of the
waters and void of the once
created and habitable earth in
which we have evidence
through
fossil remains. The creation is
the restoration of earth to a
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.
3 And
God said, Let there be light;
and there was light..
"Glory of the Lesser Light!"
Full Harvest Moon

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.
In
the beginning the WORD of God
is revealed in His creative
power and apostolic nature.
"GOD
SAID!" (He spoke and
commanded by His sovereignty)
(Readers, let us observe the
divine attributes by
revelation of the scriptures
of our apostolic 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 inseparable 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 strategy
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.
[see:
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. [see:
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.]
{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!
It 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 stupor and
manifested diversity and
articulation of unknown
tongues as
tongues or languages were
spoken and fully understood by
the Jews from
every
nation who where assembled in
Jerusalem to celebrate the
Passover and the Feast
of
Pentecost.
Pentecost
or Shavuot has many names in
the Bible (the Feast of Weeks,
the Feast of Harvest,
and the
Latter First fruits).
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 on the 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.
15 For
these men are not drunk, as
you imagine, for it is [only]
the third hour (about 9:00
a.m.)
of the day;
16 But
[instead] this is [the
beginning of] what was spoken
through the prophet Joel:
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;
Profound
Total Eclipse of the Moon!
Tuesday,
21 December 2010, the Winter
Equinox and the Lunar Eclipse.
The
Winter Equinox Red Moon will not
happen for another 350 years
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].
(Note: "Day
of the Lord" is a teaching we
will be sharing.
This eclipse
is of 2010 is not the declared
Day of the Lord.
We will study
the context, content and
references of which the "Day of
the Lord is directed
as it
pertains to this passage at
another writing.)
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.].
[Note:
read Joel 2:32 in its
spiritual figurative 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. Multitudes of books
and sermons have been built around
the suppositions
that Jesus
Christ is coming back to earth to
rule for one thousand years.
God uses One
Thousand to express a very
extensive expanse of time.
He does not
relate these numbers to a literal
specific number. Symbolic
language is used
through out the
scriptures. Here are two of
them to demonstrate His figurative
applications
to express vast
numbers.
Psalm 50:10
(AMP)
“For every
beast of the forest is Mine,
And the
cattle on a thousand hills.
2 Peter 3:8
(AMP)
Nevertheless,
do not let this one fact escape
your notice, beloved,
that with the
Lord one day is like a thousand
years,
and a
thousand years is like one day.
Jesus is ruling
the nations on the Throne of
David. God established it as an
Eternal Throne.
Are we
expecting Him to descend to an
earthly throne? Would moving His
Eternal throne
to earth be
substantiated by a second
advent? Did He Finish His
work in His declaration:
"It is
finished?" Did His death,
descent into hell, Glorious
Resurrection, Glorious Ascension,
setting to the
Right-Hand of God in His completed
work get changed!
Is the
definition for "millennial" a
thousand? Well then does God only
own the cattle
on a thousand
hills and not all the thousands of
cattle on the earth... a number
to vast to
conceptualize? Why is it
then is it that He decrees "every
beast of the forest" is His?
Why does Peter
compare "one" to a thousand as the
same a thousand is "one?"
The Spiritual
implication points to the fact
that all things are in God's
timing!
He is the
Eternal God! When did He
become God and when will He No
Longer be God?
He is the God
of the Past, the Present and the
Future! Jesus, Himself
declares
He is the First
and the Last... the Alpha and
Omega! He is on His Eternal
Throne Today!
How long will
He reign? What was He doing
in the time span before the
foundations
of the world?
How long of time was
that? How long of a time
span is the future?
God's
answer: FOREVER...GENERATION
TO GENERATION FOREVER...
ENDLESS ETERNITIES OF THE
ETERNITIES!
"with the Lord
one day is like a thousand years,
and a thousand
years is like one
day."
Ephesians 3:21
(KJV)
Unto him be
glory in the church by Christ
Jesus
throughout all
ages, world without end. Amen.
Ephesians 3:21
(AMP)
to Him be the
glory in the church and in
Christ Jesus
throughout
all generations forever and
ever. Amen.
Literally: of
the age of the ages
Genesis 13:15
(AMP)
For all the
land which you see I will give
to you and to your posterity
forever.
Exodus 15:18
(AMP)
The Lord will
reign forever and ever.
Romans 11:36
(AMP)
For from Him
and through Him and to Him are
all things.
[For all
things originate with Him and
come from Him; all things live
through Him,
and all
things center in and tend to
consummate and to end in Him.]
To Him be
glory forever! Amen (so be it).
Philippians
4:20 (AMP)
To our God
and Father be glory forever and
ever (through the endless
eternities of the eternities).
Amen (so be
it).
1 Timothy
1:17 (AMP)
Now to the
King of eternity, incorruptible
and immortal, invisible, the
only God,
be honor and
glory forever and ever (to the
ages of ages). Amen (so be it).
Peter
preaches...
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
promise of
Abraham
and of
David.
These
scriptures are
to the JEW and
the GENTILE:
Galatians
3:26-29 AMP
Abraham's
SEED:
26
For
in
Christ
Jesus
you
are
all
sons
of God through
faith.
27 For as many
[of you] as
were baptized
into Christ
[into a
spiritual
union and
communion
with Christ,
the Anointed
one, the
Messiah] have
put on
(clothed
yourselves
with) Christ.
28 There is
[now no
distinction]
neither Jew
nor Greek,
there is
neither slave
nor free,
there is not
male and
female; for
you are all
one in Christ
Jesus.
29 And if you
belong to
Christ [are in
Him Who is
Abraham's
Seed], then
you are
Abraham's
offspring and
[spiritual]
heirs
according to
promise.
Romans
2:28-29
AMP
28
For
he
is not a
[real] Jew who
is only one
outwardly and
publicly, nor
is [true]
circumcision
something
external and
physical.
29 But
he is a Jew
who is one
inwardly, and
[true]
circumcision
is of the
heart, a
spiritual
and not a
literal
[matter]. His
praise is not
from men but
from God.
2 Samuel
7:12-16
NKJV
David's
SEED:
12
"When
your
days
are
fulfilled
and
you
rest
with
your fathers,
I will set up
your seed
after you,
who
will come from
your body, and
I will
establish his
kingdom.
13 He shall
build a house
for My name,
and I will
establish the
throne of his
kingdom
forever.
14 I will be
his Father,
and he shall
be My son.
16 And your
house and your
kingdom shall
be established
forever before
you.
Your throne
shall be
established
forever."
Daniel
7:13-14
AMP
13 I saw in the night
visions, and
behold, on the
clouds of the
heavens came
one like a Son
of man,
and He
came to the
Ancient of
Days and was
presented
before Him.
14 And there
was given Him
[the Messiah]
dominion and
glory and
kingdom,
that all
peoples,
nations, and
languages
should serve
Him.
His dominion
is an
everlasting
dominion which
shall not pass
away, and His
kingdom
is one which
shall not be
destroyed.
The disciples
of Christ
called to be
divinely SENT
as eye witness
apostles were
Jews.
Acts
1:6 KJV
6 When they
therefore were
come together,
they asked of
him, saying,
Lord, wilt
thou at this
time
restore again
the kingdom to
Israel?
(Note:
The Kingdom of
Israel is
within us the
hope of Glory!
Jesus is the
King of the
Jews. God is
not a
respecter of
persons... In
Christ!
The Kingdom is
in believers,
the sons and
daughters of
spiritual Zion
the city of
God!
God's peace
treaty through
His Son is
offered to all
mankind!)
Isaiah 57:19-21 KJV
19
I
create
the fruit of
the lips;
Peace, peace
to him that is
far off, and
to him that is
near,
saith the
LORD; and I
will heal him.
20 But the
wicked are
like the
troubled sea,
when it cannot
rest, whose
waters cast up
mire
and dirt.
21 There is no
peace, saith
my God, to the
wicked.
Acts
2:39 AMP
For
the
promise
[of the Holy
Spirit] is to
and for you
and your
children, and
to and for all
that
are far away,
[even] to and
for as many as
the Lord our
God invites
and bids to
come to
Himself.
[Isa 57:19;
Joel 2:32.]
Acts
1:7-9
7 And he said unto
them, It is
not for you to
know the times
or the
seasons, which
the Father
hath put in
his own
power.
[Note: Jesus is talking about the Kingdom of God,
It
was
10
days when the
Kingdom was
Sent to earth
to abide in
the New
Creation...
God the Holy
Ghost, giving
comfort and
confirming
that the Lord
was on His
eternal throne
as
promised to
David!
God's promises
through the
prophets of
old were now
complete and
sealed!]
8 But ye shall
receive power,
after that the
Holy Ghost is
come upon you:
and ye shall
be witnesses
unto me both
in Jerusalem,
and in all
Judea, and in
Samaria, and
unto the
uttermost
part of
the earth.
9 And when he
had spoken
these things,
while they
beheld, he was
taken up; and
a cloud
received
him out of
their sight.
Daniel
7:13
I
saw in the
night visions,
and behold, on
the clouds of
the heavens
came one like
a Son of man,
and He
came to the
Ancient of
Days and was
presented
before Him.
The
Jew and the
Gentile are
ONE! God
is not
planning to
restore the
Old system of
worship
given in the
Mosiac Law...
governed by
the Law of Sin
and
Death.
He is not
planning to
establish a
physical
throne for His
Son back upon
the earth.
Ephesians
1:18-23
AMP
18
By
having
the eyes of
your heart
flooded with
light, so that
you can know
and understand
the
hope to
which He has
called you,
and how rich
is His
glorious
inheritance in
the saints
(His set-apart
ones), (Note;
The Jew and
the Gentile
are ONE!
in Christ!)
19
And
[so
that you can
know and
understand]
what is the
immeasurable
and unlimited
and
surpassing
greatness of
His power in
and for us who
believe, as
demonstrated
in the working
of His mighty
strength,
20
Which
He
exerted in
Christ when He
raised Him
from the dead
and seated Him
at His [own]
right hand in
the heavenly
[places],
21
Far above all
rule and
authority and
power and
dominion and
every name
that is named
[above every
title that can
be conferred],
not only in
this age and
in this world,
but also in
the
age
and
the
world which
are to come.
22
And
He
has put all
things under
His feet and
has appointed
Him the
universal and
supreme
Head of the
church [a
headship
exercised
throughout the
church], [Ps
8:6.]
23
Which
is
His body, the
fullness of
Him Who fills
all in all
[for in that
body lives the
full measure
of Him
Who makes
everything
complete, and
Who fills
everything
everywhere
with Himself].
Question:
Is God the
Father, God
the Son and
God the Holy
Spirit so weak
that they need
to
SEND
Jesus
back
to do work
that He has
already
accomplished?
Answer:
He has made
the Church His
instrument to
reign and rule
in the earth
to do the
works
of the
ministry.
Question:
Whose
ministry?
Christ's
ministry!
He
lives in
us!
We are His
agents, His
emissaries,
His
ambassadors!
We are the
temple of
Almighty
God!
We are the
sons and
daughters!
We are to
reign with
Him!
Today! ( Not a
postponement
of 2000 years
and counting)
Hebrews 3:12-14 AMP
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
and promoted
the doctrines
of
dispensationalism,
but
also,"refined
and promoted"
the teaching
of a "double
rapture.
The Bible
attests to One
"rapture!"
[see:
Last Days of
the Church
Age? Inner
Chamber]
John
Nelson Darby
was intent on
writing His
interpretation
of the Holy Scriptures.
The false
teachings of
dispensationalism
were inserted
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. It is
heresy.
God has made
us ONE BODY!
[see:
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
rampart in the
Church doing
exactly what
the 'father of
lies" has
purposed...
lie, kill,
steal,
destroy.
The first
words out of
the mouth of
multitudes in
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!
One
day, enough
was
enough!
Money changers
were allowed
to establish
their presence
in the
temple by the
religious
leaders. They
were charging
a usury on the
various
currency
exchanges.
Mark 11:15
(AMP)
And they came
to Jerusalem.
And He went
into the
temple [area,
the porches
and courts]
and began to
drive out
those who sold
and bought in
the temple
area, and He
overturned
the
[four-footed]
tables of the
money changers
and the seats
of those who
dealt in
doves;
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...
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
8
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
10:14-16 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 heard from us?
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 influence 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 Bible
Translation
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
[Note; The
Sending into this mission of
Christ's... as apostolic
teams...
were before His enthronement
and before the out-pouring
of the Holy Ghost!
On
the Day of Pentecost, 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!]
(Commissions, duties, and
power: Matt. 10;
28:19-20; Mk 3:14-15;
6:7-13;
16:15-20; Lk. 9:1-5;
24:47-53; Jn. 20:21-23;
21:15-19; Acts 1:4-8)
(Note: The Apostles of the
Lamb, Matthias the chosen
replacement of Judas Iscariot's
portion
(office) in the "apostolate,"
and the addition of
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 also traveled with the
apostles. Jesus formed and
taught his
chosen (12)
twelve with whom He spent very
specific time in fellowship and
communion.
This form of
teaching, and communion
established the "apostolate."
Acts 2:42
(AMP)
And they
steadfastly persevered,
devoting themselves constantly
to the instruction
and
fellowship of the apostles, to
the breaking of bread
[including the Lord’s Supper]
and
prayers.
This assembling
(inclusion) was the "office,"
"position of portion," "the
appointment" to oversee
the function
and demonstration of the Kingdom
upon His departure back to the
Father.
They were assigned
as "forerunners, vanguards,
apostles" with the vision of the
Master
Teacher, The
Apostle,The High Priest, The
"Cornerstone of the Church to be
Built."
They were the
Apostolic-Prophetic
builders using the 'blueprint'
(the foundation) of Christ,
"the pattern
Son."
Others also
traveled as disciples but were
not recognized as the Chosen to
whom
He would
closely tend, keep and protect
until the empowerment of the 120
twenty waiting
for the promise of
the Holy Spirit were anointed!
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
ministries
were appointed as called and
commended by the Lord Jesus
Himself.
Ephesians 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.
Barnabas (1 Cor. 9:5-6;
Acts 13:1-3; 14:4, 14; Gal. 2:9)
Andronicus
& Junia (Rom. 16:7)
Apollos (1
Cor. 4: 6-9)
James, the
Lord’s brother (Gal. 1:19; 2:9;
James 1:1)
Timothy and
Silas (1 Thess. 1:1; 2:6)
Titus (2 Cor.
8:23)
Epaphroditus (Phil. 2:25)
Paul
(Gal: 1:1; 2:8)
Galatians 1:1
AMP PAUL, AN
apostle--[special messenger
appointed and
commissioned and sent out] 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 (AMP)
Every good
thing given and every perfect
gift is from above;
it comes
down from the Father of lights
[the Creator and Sustainer of
the heavens],
in whom
there is no variation [no
rising or setting] or shadow
[a]cast by His turning
[for He is
perfect and never changes].
18 It was
of His own will that He gave
us birth [as His children] by
the word of truth,
so that we
would be a kind of first
fruits of His creatures [a
prime example of what He
created
to be set
apart to Himself—sanctified,
made holy for His divine
purposes].
