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 are descriptive and synonymous
words meaning: apostle?
(forerunners,
special messengers, ambassadors,
vanguards)
●
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].
