Their Responsibility Is To Equip God's People To Do His Work and Build Up the church, (The Ekklesia) The Body Of Christ, Until We Come To Such Unity In Our Faith And Knowledge of God's Son That We Will Be Mature And Full Growing In The Lord, Measuring Up To The Full Statue Of Christ. Then we will no longer Be Like Children, forever changing our minds about What We Believe because someone has told us Something Different or because someone has Cleverly Lied To Us and Made The Lies Sound Like The Truth. Ephesians 4:10-14 Lesson here: So do we have a True Representation and Examples of what these Gifts and Functions look like? Yes we do!

And God was pleased because that Sacrifice was like Sweet Perfume To Him." Ephesians 5:1-2 "How we Praise God, The Father Of Our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us With Every Spiritual Blessing In The Heavenly Realms Because We Belong To Christ. Long ago, Even Before HE Made The World, God Loved Us And Chose Us In Christ To Be Holy And Without Fault In His Eyes. His Unchanging Plan has always been to Adopt Us Into His Own Family By Bringing Us To Himself Through Jesus Christ. And This Gave Him Great Pleasure." Ephesians 1:3-5 So we will find Every Gift Of The Divine Order Was Experienced And Expressed Through Christ Jesus Yahshua! He Was And Is Our Ultimate Example of All God's Gift To His Body, The Ekklesia, God's Called Out Ones. Christ Jesus Yahshua Did Function In All Of The Gifts.

PT5 The Same One Who Came Down He Is The One Who Ascended Higher Than All The Heavens, So That His Rule Might Fill The Entire Universe. He Is The One Who Gave These Gifts to the church: (Ekklesia, God's Called Out Ones) The Apostles, The Prophets, The Evangelist, And The Pastors and Teachers. Their Responsibility Is To Equip God's People To Do His Work and Build Up the church, (The Ekklesia) The Body Of Christ, Until We Come To Such Unity In Our Faith And Knowledge of God's Son That We Will Be Mature And Full Growing In The Lord, Measuring Up To The Full Statue Of Christ. Then we will no longer Be Like Children, forever changing our minds about What We Believe because someone has told us Something Different or because someone has Cleverly Lied To Us and Made The Lies Sound Like The Truth. Ephesians 4:10-14 Lesson here: Gifts Lay Down Their Lives For The Body, They do not ask The Body Of Christ, (The Ekklesia) To Lay Down Their Lives For Them. The Gifts Are For The Body of Christ Jesus Yahshua, The Body Of Christ Do Not Belong To The Gifts. They Belong to Christ Jesus Yahshua, And Him Alone. "But Jesus called them together and said, "You know That In This World Kings Are Tyrants, And Officials lord Over The People Beneath Them. But Among You It Should Be Quite Different. Whoever wants to be a Leader Among You Must Be Your Servant, And Whoever Wants To Be First Among You Must Be Your Slave. For Even I, The Son Of Man, Came Here Not To Be Served But To Serve Others, And To Give My Life As A Ransom For Many." Matthew 20:25-28 This Is The Divine Order Of The True Gifts Of God Yahweh, To The Body Of Christ Jesus Yahshua. Jesus Yahshua Is Our Example For The Operation And Function Of Every Gift, He Has Given To The Body Of Christ, The Ekklesia, The Called Out Ones. Any Other Order Is A Misrepresentation of The Divine Order Itself. This Is Not The Opinion Of Men, This Is God's Word! Whose Report Will You Believe And Follow? Yahshua We Choose YOUR Way!
PT4 The Same One Who Came Down He Is The One Who Ascended Higher Than All The Heavens, So That His Rule Might Fill The Entire Universe.

Then we will no longer Be Like Children, forever changing our minds about What We Believe because someone has told us Something Different or because someone has Cleverly Lied To Us and Made The Lies Sound Like The Truth. Ephesians 4:10-14 Lesson here: So what is the Pure Truth and Path that we should be following? How can we make sure that we are Hearing and Following the True Gospel of Jesus Yahshua, and not just The Opinion Of men? "Jesus told him, "I Am The Way, The Truth, And The Life. No One Can Come To The Father Except Through Me. If you had known Who I Am, then you would have known Who My Father is. From now on You Know Him And Have Seen Him!" Jesus didn't only come with Salvation, Sanctification, Transformation, and Impartation; He also came to Be The Ultimate Example For Mankind. We must understand Jesus never asked us to do something that He Himself Had Not Already Done! Christ is The Example for how Every Gift that He has given To The Ekklesia Should Operate. There should be no Guessing nor Opinions of men about The Responsibilities Of These Gifts. "Follow God's Example In Everything You Do, because you are His Dear Children. Live A Life Filled With Love For Others, Following The Example Of Christ, Who Loved You And Gave Himself As A Sacrifice To Take Away Your Sins. And God was pleased because That Sacrifice Was Like A Sweet Perfume To Him." Gifts Lay Down Their Lives For The Body!

Then we will no longer Be Like Children, forever changing our minds about What We Believe because someone has told us Something Different or because someone has Cleverly Lied To Us and Made The Lies Sound Like The Truth. Ephesians 4:10-14 Lesson here: Jesus did not come Representing Himself. As He Has Represented The Father To Us, So We Must Represent Him To This World! They Need To See Him Not Us! This is A Declaration for the Body of Christ, The Ekklesia. We Need To Grow Up In The Unity Of Our Faith and In The Knowledge Of The Son of God. It is time for us to Grow Up, And Measure Up To The Full Stature of Christ Jesus Yahshua! "And All Of Us have had that Veil Removed so that We Can Be Mirrors That Brightly Reflect The Glory Of The Lord. And As The Spirit Of The Lord Works Within Us, We Become More and More Like Him And Reflect His Glory Even More." 2 Corinthians 3:18 "For You Died When Christ Died, And Your Real Life Is Hidden With Christ In God. And when Christ, Who Is Your Real Life, Is Revealed To The Whole World, You Will Share In All His Glory. Colossians 3:3-4 Read Philippians 1:6 Lord We Repent of Our Misrepresentation Of YOU In The Earth! Lord We Desperately Need YOU To Display Yourself Through Us, for a Dying World To See YOU In Us. Let us Be The Faceless And Nameless Generation, That Has Your Face And Proclaim Your Name Throughout Eternity! Let It Be Done According To Your Word!
PT2 The Same One Who Came Down He Is The One Who Ascended Higher Than All The Heavens, So That His Rule Might Fill The Entire Universe. He Is The One Who Gave These Gifts to the church: (Ekklesia, God's Called Out Ones) The Apostles, The Prophets, The Evangelist, And The Pastors and Teachers. Their Responsibility Is To Equip God's People To Do His Work and Build Up the church, (The Ekklesia) The Body Of Christ, Until We Come To Such Unity In Our Faith And Knowledge of God's Son That We Will Be Mature And Full Growing In The Lord, Measuring Up To The Full Statue Of Christ. Then we will no longer Be Like Children, forever changing our minds about What We Believe because someone has told us Something Different or because someone has Cleverly Lied To Us and Made The Lies Sound Like The Truth." Ephesians 4:10-14 Lesson here: The Responsibility of Every Gift of God Yahweh, Is To Build Up The Body of Christ, The Ekklesia; and Bring Them Into The Unity Of Their Faith and The knowledge of God's Son. We Need Experienced Responsible Gifts Of God, To Equip The Body of Christ To Walk In The Consciousness Of Their Oneness, and become The Image Of Christ Jesus Yahshua In This Earth! This Christian walk was never given to us for us to display our Gifts and Talents for Self Notoriety or for Personal Gain. They where given for us to Display The Image of Christ Jesus Yahshua So The world Could See Him In Us! "Don't you believe that I Am in The Father And The Father Is In Me? The Words I Say Are Not My Own, But My Father Who Lives In Me Does His Work Through Me. Just believe that I Am In The Father And The Father Is In Me. Or at least believe because of what you have seen Me Do. The Truth is, Anyone Who Believes In Me Will Do The Same Works I Have Done, And Even Greater Works, Because I Am Going To Be With The Father." John 14:10-12 Jesus did not come Representing Himself. As He Has Represented The Father To Us, So We Must Represent Him To This World! They Need To See Him Not Us!
The Same One Who Came Down He Is The One Who Ascended Higher Than All The Heavens, So That His Rule Might Fill The Entire Universe. He Is The One Who Gave These Gifts to the church: (Ekklesia, God's Called Out Ones) The Apostles, The Prophets, The Evangelist, And The Pastors and Teachers. Their Responsibility Is To Equip God's People To Do His Work and Build Up the church, (The Ekklesia) The Body Of Christ, Until We Come To Such Unity In Our Faith And Knowledge of God's Son That We Will Be Mature And Full Growing In The Lord, Measuring Up To The Full Statue Of Christ. Then we will no longer Be Like Children, forever changing our minds about What We Believe because someone has told us Something Different or because someone has Cleverly Lied To Us and Made The Lies Sound Like The Truth." Ephesians 4:10-14
Lesson here: This is God's Yahweh's Revelation For The Body Of Christ Jesus Yahshua! God Yahweh Sent His Son Jesus Yahshua, To Redeem Mankind So That His Rule Might Fill The Entire Universe! This Revelation is Beginning to be Resurfaced By The Body Of Christ who are Seeking The Truth. This Truth was lost when men began to Take The Gifts of God To The Body Of Christ, And Made Them Personal Offices For Themselves! This Divine Order Of Oneness Must Be Experienced Before It Can Be Taught by The Apostle, Prophet, Evangelist, or Pastor, or Teacher. Why? Because Their Responsibility Is To Equip God's People To Walk In The Consciousness of Their Oneness, so they Can Do The Works Of The Father. The Responsibility of Every Gift of God Yahweh, Is To Build Up The Body of Christ, The Ekklesia; and Bring Them To The Unity Of Their Faith and The knowledge of God's Son. Only Then Can We Walk In Maturity and Become Full Grown In The Lord, Measuring Up To The Full Statue Of Christ Jesus Yahshua! We Need Experienced Responsible Gifts Of God, To Equip The Body of Christ To Walk In The Consciousness Of Their Oneness! Then We Will Not Be Deceived By Teachings That Sound Like The Truth! PT8 Jesus Replied, Phillip, don't you even Yet Know Who I Am, even After All The Time I Have Been With You? Anyone Who Has Seen Me Has Seen The Father! So Why Are You Asking To See Him? Don't You Believe That I Am In The Father And The Father Is In Me? The Words I Say Are Not My Own, But My Father Who Lives In Me Does His Work Through Me. Just Believe That I Am In The Father And The Father Is In Me. Or At Least Believe Because Of What You Have Seen Me Do. John 14:9-11
Lesson here: This Spiritual Truth that We Must understand is, Our Oneness In Him Is A Divine Order. This Divine Order is mentioned Over and Over Again From John Chapter 14 Through John Chapter 17. What does a Mature Christian look like, Who Is Walking In The Oneness Of The Unity Of Their Faith? "The Truth Is, Anyone Who Believes In Me Will Do The Same Works I Have Done, And Even Greater Works, because I Am going to Be With The Father. You can Ask For Anything In My Name, And I Will Do It, because The Work Of The Son Brings Glory To The Father. Yes, Ask Anything In My Name And I Will Do It!" John 14:12-14 This Divine Order of Our Oneness With The Fullness Of The Godhead is so Critical, Jesus Yeshua Prays For Us Himself! "They Are NOT Part Of This World Any More Than I Am. Make Them Pure And Holy By Teaching Them YOUR Words Of Truth. As YOU Sent Me into the world, I Am Sending Them into the world. And I Give Myself Entirely To YOU So They also might Be Entirely YOURS. I'm Praying NOT Only For These Disciples BUT Also For All Who Will Ever Believe In Me Because Of Their Testimony. My Prayer For All Of Them Is That They Will Be ONE, Just As YOU And I Are ONE, Father That Just As YOU Are In Me And I Am In YOU, So They Will BE In Us, and the world will believe YOU Sent Me. I Have Given Them The Glory YOU Have Given Me, So That They May Be ONE, As We Are--I In THEM And YOU In Me, All Being Perfected Into ONE. John 17:16-22a Thank You For The Consciousness Of Our Oneness In YOU, We Believe And Receive! PT7 Jesus Replied, Phillip, don't you even Yet Know Who I Am, even After All The Time I Have Been With You? Anyone Who Has Seen Me Has Seen The Father! So Why Are You Asking To See Him? Don't You Believe That I Am In The Father And The Father Is In Me? The Words I Say Are Not My Own, But My Father Who Lives In Me Does His Work Through Me. Just Believe That I Am In The Father And The Father Is In Me. Or At Least Believe Because Of What You Have Seen Me Do. John 14:9-11
Lesson here: Our Oneness In Christ Is A Divine Order, Not A Metaphor. There Must Be A Consciousness Of Our Oneness in Jesus Yeshua and The Father, if we are going to Function In The Fullness Of Our Spiritual Maturity In This Earth! When and Where we lost sight of This Teaching I do not know. This has been one of Satan's greatest defeats to mankind, And It Has Been Devastating. When Our Identity Is Lost, Our Divine Purpose Will Never Have A Chance To Be Revealed To Us. Religious strategies and man's ideologies, has Deteriorated The Message of Oneness Taught By Jesus Yeshua Himself. "There is a Path before each person that Seems Right, But It Ends In Death." Proverbs 14:12 "People May Be Pure In Their Own Eyes, But The Lord Examines Their Motives." Proverbs 16:2 "People May Think They Are Doing What Is Right, But The Lord Examines The Heart." Proverbs 21:2 True Christians must come To This Conclusion. Jesus Yeshua Is The Only Way, The Truth, And The Life, And Every Word He Spoke Is True. "Yes, I Am The Vine; You Are The Branches. Those who Remain In Me, And I In Them, Will Produce Much Fruit. For Apart From Me You Can Do Nothing. Anyone who Parts From Me is thrown away like a Useless Branch And Withers. Such Branches are gathered into a Pile To Be Burned. But If You Stay Joined To Me And My Words Remain In You, You May Ask Any Requests You Like, and it Will Be Granted! My True Disciples Produce Much Fruit. This Brings Great Glory To My Father." John 15:5-8 We Need The Consciousness of Oneness! PT6 Jesus Replied, Phillip, don't you even Yet Know Who I Am, even After All The Time I Have Been With You? Anyone Who Has Seen Me Has Seen The Father! So Why Are You Asking To See Him? Don't You Believe That I Am In The Father And The Father Is In Me? The Words I Say Are Not My Own, But My Father Who Lives In Me Does His Work Through Me. Just Believe That I Am In The Father And The Father Is In Me. Or At Least Believe Because Of What You Have Seen Me Do. John 14:9-11
Lesson here: The Spiritual Concept that the Lord is trying to get us to understand is, Our Oneness In Him Is A Divine Order, Not A Metaphor. This is not some Nice Passage For Us To Quote. It is A Revelation That Needs To Be Manifested In Our Lives. This Is A 2 Corinthians 5:17-18 Moment. This Is The Understanding Of The Order Of The New Man, Which Is In Christ Jesus Yeshua! Again This Is Not A Metaphor, This Is A True Lifestyle To Be Lived By All True Christians! The question is, Do We Believe That Jesus Yeshua is in God Yahweh The Father, and God Yahweh The Father Is In Him? This Belief is Crucial To Our Spiritual Maturity As a New Creature Or Creation In Christ Jesus Yeshua! If we are not Spiritually Grounded in This Matter, we will remain Babies Wandering in our Christian Faith! Babies are not Warriors, because they have no Strength nor the Ability To come Against The Adversary, Our Enemy. "My Prayer is not for the world, But For Those You Have Given Me, Because They Belong To YOU. And All Of Them, Since They Are Mine, Belong To YOU: And YOU have given them Back To Me, So They Are My Glory! Now I Am departing the world: I Am Leaving Them Behind and coming to YOU. Holy Father, Keep Them and Care for them--All Those YOU Have Given Me--So That They Will Be United JUST AS WE ARE. John 17:9-11 There Must Be A Consciousness Of Our Oneness in Jesus Yeshua and The Father, if we are going to Function In The Fullness Of Our Spiritual Maturity In Christ! Lord Let It Be According To Your Word! PT5 Jesus Replied, Phillip, don't you even Yet Know Who I Am, even After All The Time I Have Been With You? Anyone Who Has Seen Me Has Seen The Father! So Why Are You Asking To See Him? Don't You Believe That I Am In The Father And The Father Is In Me? The Words I Say Are Not My Own, But My Father Who Lives In Me Does His Work Through Me. Just Believe That I Am In The Father And The Father Is In Me. Or At Least Believe Because Of What You Have Seen Me Do. John 14:9-11
Lesson here: Jesus Yeshua is Giving A Spiritual Lesson Here, Of Who He is, and Who He Is Expecting Us To Be. We Will Never Know Who We Are, If We Don't Grasp Who He Is! Listen, Jesus Yeshua says, "Don't You Believe That I Am In The Father And The Father Is In Me? The Words That I say Are Not My Own, But My Father Who Lives In Me Does His Work Through Me. Yes Believe That I Am In The Father And The Father Is In Me. Or at least Believe Because Of What You Have Seen Me Do." Jesus is not speaking Through The First Natural Dimension, Man's knowledge. He's speaking From A Spiritual Realm That Can Only Be Seen With Spiritual Eyes. "While we look not at the things which Are Seen, But at the things Which Are Not Seen: for the things which are Seen Are Temporal; But The Things Which Are Not Seen Are Eternal." 2 Corinthians 4:18. For those who are Hungry To Know The Truth; We Have To Have A Desperation With A Determination To See The Unseen Realm, Or Dimension of Christ Jesus Yeshua Here In The Earth. Listen to The Prayer Jesus Tells Us To Pray. "Pray Like This: Our Father In Heaven, May Your Name Be Honored. May Your Kingdom Come Soon. May Your Will Be Done Here On Earth, JUST LIKE IT IS IN HEAVEN. Give us our food for Today, and Forgive us our sin, Just As We Have Forgiven Those Who Have Sinned Against Us. And don't let us yield to temptation, BUT Deliver Us From The Evil One." Matthew 6:9-13 This Is A Two Dimensional Prayer, People in Earth Functioning In The Spiritual Will Of Heaven Here And Now! |
