The U.S.A. Weekend Seminar Series
“Disciples and Ministers”
1.
All
seminars are held by invitation from your church or ministry.
2. Because of the amount of materials that must be covered, six weekend
sessions are required. We travel by auto as a family, with our four children, when
asked to minister in the Southwest.
This includes New Mexico, Colorado, Arizona and the western Texas areas.
3. Outside of this geographical area, I, Jose,
will come alone by airplane.
4. In most seminars, the Lord leads us to have times of
ministry, which include words of knowledge, prophetical words, and
healings. If your church desires for
this type of ministry within the teaching times we can accommodate this. If however you would only desire to have a
straight teaching seminar, we will honor this as well. Our vision and calling is to assist your
ministry in receiving the greatest benefits during this time.
5. We do not request honorariums or love
offerings, but trust the Lord to speak to the hosting church as to what His
will is.
6. Our ministerial requirements from you the hosting church are
room and board either in a motel or at one of the brethren’s home during our
stay, and a roundtrip airplane ticket for Jose if he comes alone by airplane.
7.
Thank you and God bless you!
The Fundamentals of Disciples and Ministers
Disciples & Ministers According to Jesus
Matt
10:37 He that loveth father or mother
more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than
me is not worthy of me.
Mat 10:39 He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he
that loseth his life for my sake shall
find it.
Matthew
16:24 Then said Jesus unto his
disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his
cross, and follow me.
Matthew 26:34 Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, That this night,
before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice.
Mat
24:14 And this gospel of the kingdom
shall be preached in all the world for a witness (martyr or martyrdom) unto all nations;
and then shall the end come.
·
The church gets flustered and angry with the sins of
homosexuals, the abortionists, and so forth.
Yes, it is right to have a righteous anger towards these abominations,
but are we doing our part to present the gospel for a witness:( with an accurate and undeniable
evidence (as spiritual martyrs of the Lord) which will allow for the jury
of the world to either accept or reject it contingent upon our testimony of it?
)
Mark 1:2 As it is written in the
prophets, Behold, I send (apostolic
sending) my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee.
Luke
14:26 If any man come to me, and hate
not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters,
yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple.
Luke
14:27 And whosoever doth not bear his
cross, and come after me cannot be my disciple.
Luke
14:33 So likewise, whosoever he be of
you that forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple.
1 John
2:15 Love not the world, neither the
things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
·
First John two and
fifteen is an example of what I call a “proportional
scripture.” In other words, to the proportion
that the love for the things of this world fills the limited space of our
heart, is to the same proportion that the love of God has no more room within
that limited space, and must leave.
Disciples & Ministers According to Paul
Acts 20:24 But none of these
things move me, neither count I my life dear unto myself, so that I might
finish my course with joy, and the ministry,
which I have received of the Lord Jesus, to testify the gospel of the grace of
God.
Romans 11:13 For I speak to you Gentiles, inasmuch as I
am the apostle of the Gentiles, I magnify ( Glorify)
mine office:
1 Corinthians 4:13 Being defamed, we intreat: we are made as
the filth(As soap being rinsed off from dirty plates) of the world, and are the offscouring(scrapings of food thrown away)
of
all things unto this day.
1Cor 9:24 ¶ Know ye not that
they which run (to run and spend my strength in
attaining to something) in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye
may obtain.(to
posses and make my own.
25
And
every man that striveth for the mastery (the agony of athletic competition) is temperate in all things. Now
they do it to obtain a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible.
I therefore so run, not as uncertainly; so fight I, not as one that beateth the air:
27 But I keep under my body (To beat the body black and blue, or get a black eye), and bring it into subjection (make my body a slave to the Spirit of God) lest that by any means, when I
have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway. (a reject , reprobate, and one who failed the test that God put
before them.)
·
The
love of God and the love of the world are opposed to each other. Either you love one or love the other. What the world values, Christ abhors. What the worldly man esteems as of great
value Christ says, “get the behind me Satan!”
1Cor15:10 But by the grace of God I am what I am: and
his grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain; but I laboured (To labor with strenuous
zeal, to the point of exhaustion) more abundantly than they all: yet
not I, but the grace of God which was with me.
·
“Spiritual burn out” is always
inadmissible. It is the product of all
labors for the Lord initiated by us, and not the Holy Spirit. Yet our lives should be consumed with the Lord
and His work.
2
Cor 4:1 ¶ Therefore seeing we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we faint not
q
Because by the mercy of
God, we were called into this ministry, we do not become discouraged. (We know
that if God divinely summoned us, He will take care of us, and see us through; therefore
we do not lose heart.)
2
But have renounced (we gave up once, and now forbid) the hidden things of dishonesty (anything that brings shame or
disgrace to the gospel, or to us), not walking in craftiness(not conducting ourselves in the doctrines of men), nor handling the word of God deceitfully(by trickery, adulterating or
corrupting God’s word for base gain) ; but by manifestation of the truth (but by manifesting the gospel in
its accuracy and genuineness through the Word of God and by our lives) commending ourselves to every man’s conscience( we present ourselves to every
type of men’s conscience) in the sight of God. (Before the constant gaze of
God)
2Cor 5:13 For whether we be beside ourselves (out of our minds, or wits, or exhibit insanity) it is to God: or whether we be sober,(sound mind) it is
for your cause.
·
In our burning obedience to our Lord, Jesus
requires us to take steps of faith that portray us as incoherent and insane to
the world, and even to the dormant church at large. If we never appear to be crazy in the eyes of the world, it
should give us cause for concern. Yet
the reality is; we do have the sound and healthy mind of Christ. This should be the balance of a normal
Christian life.
2Cor
12:15 And I will very gladly spend and be spent for you;
though the more abundantly I love you, the less I be loved.
·
I will very gladly incur personal expense for
your Christian well-being. I will pour
my very soul out for your progress in the faith. I will exhaust myself by spending and using myself up for your
spiritual maturing in Christ.
Philippians 1:20 According to my earnest expectation and my
hope, that in nothing I shall be ashamed, but that with all boldness,( As Christ is magnified and made great in his life, the power of God
within Paul brings much freedom to him.
Paul can live out the gospel in confidence, candor,
fearlessness and honesty, unhindered in every way.) as always, so now also Christ shall be magnified in my body), whether it be by life, or by death
·
The
apostle Paul’s desire was to take his life and use it as a magnifying glass
that would make Jesus Christ great. His
expectation is one of stretching out his head to be able to anxiously observe
this process becoming a reality in his life.
Philippians 3:12 Not as though I had already attained, either
were already perfect: but I follow after
(I persecute after), if that I may apprehend ( seize and make it my own) that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus.
Philippians 3:13
Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I
do, forgetting those things which are
behind,
and reaching forth unto those things which are before,
·
Therefore I neglect and no longer care for what
is behind me. I stretch myself out and towards, and run swiftly after what is
before me. The direction being, the mark of the goal of the high price of
unbroken fellowship of Christ’s resurrection life, and the hope of His calling
for me.
Disciples & Ministers According to Paul
1 Tim 1:12 ¶ And I thank
Christ Jesus our Lord, who hath enabled me,
for that he counted me faithful, putting me into the ministry;
·
Greek: I thank Christ Jesus our Lord who endued me with His power
(only as He found me dependable.) The gift of His power was given to me as He
found me worthy of trust. Once that the trust and power were there God placed
me into my ministry.
1 Tim
4:14 Neglect not the gift that is in thee, which was given thee by
prophecy, with the laying on of the hands of the presbytery.
§
Greek: Do not become
careless about the spiritual gift, which was given to you by (the
Holy Spirit) through prophecy and the laying of hands.
15 Meditate upon these things; give thyself
wholly to them; that thy profiting may appear to all.
§
Meditate- Care for,
attend to, and keep practicing “the things that we have discussed”
§
Give
thyself wholly to them – Literally “to become one with them”.
§
Paul
tell us throw ourselves fully, or become submerged and consumed with the things
that lead to godliness, purity, charity, spiritual gifts, and so forth.
§
That
thy profiting Literally “pioneers cutting a way for an
army”
§
Every Christian is called to a blaze a new
pioneer trail, through which the Lord can effectively travel, in accordance
with their unique calling. There are now pew sitters, and no room for
mediocrity in God’s kingdom.
§
May
appear to all - Will
become evident to all.
16
Take heed unto
thyself, and unto the doctrine; continue in them: for in doing this thou
shalt both save thyself, and them that hear thee.
o
Take heed unto thyself, and unto the
doctrine Fasten your attentions to, observe, and attend to
yourself first, and to your doctrine second. This doctrine is what you teach.
It must be in accordance with the truth of the scriptures and your life must
line up with it.
·
Continue in them –
Be sure to remain in these things!
2 Tim 1:9 Who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works,
but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus
before the world began,
Ezekiel 44:23 And
they shall teach my people the difference
between the holy
and profane, and cause them to discern
between the unclean and the clean.
Exo 26:33 And thou shalt hang
up the vail under the taches, that thou mayest bring in thither within the vail the ark of the testimony:
and the vail shall divide unto
you between the holy place and the most holy.
34 And thou shalt put the
mercy seat upon the ark of
the testimony in the most holy place.
·
The
American College Dictionary defines for us testimony as “ evidence in support of a fact or statement.” Therefore,
within the Ark of the Covenant resides the complete and absolute evidence that
supports all of the facts of whom God really is. In other words the fullness of God dwells inside. Therefore the church’s great responsibility
is to furnish to the world at large with preciseness, who God really is. It must so fully declare Him that the world
has all the facts that it needs, to accept God or reject Him. In reality, the testimony of God is no
different to the testimonies given by witnesses in a courtroom. The purpose of testimonies is to furnish a
jury with enough factual evidence that will allow it to reach a truthful
verdict.
Heb 8:5 Who serve
unto the example and shadow of heavenly things, as Moses was admonished of God when he
was about to make the tabernacle: for, See, saith he, that thou make all things
according to the pattern shewed to thee in the mount.
·
When Moses was about to build the tabernacle for God, God
cautioned him to accurately construct it in accordance to a specific pattern
that He would show him. The Lord has a
particular and unique pattern of ministerial construction for every local
assembly, and every corporate and individual ministry. In our Greek scriptures the word “admonished”
is defined as “divine instruction according to revelation.” This is an
exhortation for us to cautiously build our ministries step by step in line with
the Holy Spirit’s wishes.
Rev 5:5 ¶ And after that I looked, and,
behold, the temple of the tabernacle of the testimony in heaven was opened:
v
The brilliancy and the
glory of the original blueprint of a NT fellowship in the heavenly realm create
a shadow, or an outline, to those who have been called to faithfully
reproduce it here on earth. Our great responsibility is to reproduce it to the
heavenly original with the greatest of earthly accuracy.
v
The blessings of God will
fall upon this fellowship in proportion to how accurately it has been
reproduced in “accordance with the pattern shown in the mount.”
Heb 8:2 A minister ( a religious minister) of the sanctuary, and of the true tabernacle, which the
Lord pitched, and not( “in
no case” absolute negative) man.
Greek:
A minister of the sanctuary and of the authentic and “built according to the
blueprint of God” tabernacle of God, which the Lord fixed in place, and had absolutely nothing to do
with man. The church of God must
be built upon the authenticity and genuineness of God’s pattern.
. Heb 11:10 For he looked for a city which hath
foundations, whose builder(technician, architect or
craftsman)and maker(the
author of a work) is God.
Acts 17:24 God that made the world and all things
therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with
hands
·
;Greek: Absolutely never dwells in handmade temples
Heb 9:23 ¶ It
was therefore necessary that the patterns of things in the heavens should be
purified with these; but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices
than these.
24For Christ is not entered(absolutely never made by hands.) into the holy places made with hands, which are the figures of the true; but
into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us:
Heb 9:11 But Christ being come an high priest of good
things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this building;
v
Greek: A greater and more perfect tabernacle, absolutely never made with hands,
and not of this creation.
v
It cannot be of the earthly
or fleshly creation.
v
Our hands cannot touch it.
v
God’s must be genuine and
accurate according to the heavenly plan.
v
It has nothing to do with
man’s agendas and plans.
v
The Lord must be the one to
author and build it.
John 14:30 Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for
the prince of this world cometh, and hath nothing in me.
Matthew 8:29 And,
behold, they cried out, saying, What have we to do with thee, Jesus, thou
Son of God? art thou come hither to torment us before the time?
Mark 1:24 Saying, Let us alone; what have we to do with thee, thou Jesus of Nazareth? art thou come to destroy us? I know thee
who thou art, the Holy One of God.
Luke 4:34 Saying, Let us alone; what have we to do with thee, thou Jesus of Nazareth? art
thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art; the Holy One of God.
o What have we to do with thee and hath nothing in me are exactly the same wordings in the Greek.
o Absolute binding of the enemy can only occur, when each and every
part of our lives have come into conformity with the will of the Lord, and the
enemy is forbidden a place or space where he can afflict us
o There is no absolutely nor relationship between the demonic
and Jesus.
Rom 12:2 And be not conformed( don’t take on the outward form or blueprint of the world
by a disobedient walk with the Lord) to this world: but be ye transformed (metamorphosis; or attain to a complete and
radical inward change and becoming a totally different individual) by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove( only when we are
radically changed can we then test, approve and possess for ourselves the
mature, well pleasing, and good will of God) what is that good, and acceptable,
and perfect, will of God.
·
Remember
the example of the lowly caterpillar being transformed into the beautiful
butterfly. Metamorphosis? What about the tadpole being transformed
into a frog? Total and radical change! Guess what?
That is exactly what the Lord wants out of our lives. The death of ourselves on the cross and the
resurrection life of our Lord within us should be so extraordinary, that indeed
we all become lovely and free butterflies for His glory. Unrecognizable as a
tadpole is from a frog because Jesus lives so big in us, should find us with no
former remembrance of our “tadpolish” existence. At least that should be our goal!)
2
Corinthians 9:11. Being enriched in every thing to all bountifulness, which causeth through us thanksgiving to God.
·
"Causeth" is once again the word "katergazomai.'
·
Here
a life, and a spirit of bountifulness, liberality and generosity " works out" thanksgiving to God by many.
·
2 Cor 12:12 states that our ministry
must be fully carried out or "katergazomai" in patience and in the manifestation of the
full power of God.
2 Corinthians 12:12Truly the signs of an apostle were wrought among you in all patience, in
signs, and wonders, and mighty deeds.
·
"Wrought" is once again the word "katergazomai.'
·
In Romans 15:8 Paul
states that he will not boast in any fleshly endeavor or works but only in
that which the Christ has fully worked or katergazomai out through his life.
Phillip 2:12 ¶ Wherefore, my beloved, as ye
have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my
absence, work out your own salvation with fear and
trembling.
·
“Work out” is once again the word "katergazomai.' It
means the following:
·
(Utterly accomplish, finish and
achieve to completion everything that has to do with your salvation. Utterly finish it! Do not leave anything lacking! Therefore growing up into Christ
in all things.)
Ephesians 6:13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye
may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
2 Cor 4:17 is an encouragement to
us that our light and momentary affliction fully accomplishes in us
an eternal weight of glory.
·
For
our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal
weight of glory;
Romans 1:27 And likewise also
the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward
another; men with men
working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.
Eph 4:14 That we henceforth be no more children,
tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait
to deceive;
·
Greek: By the “spiritual dice playing” of men in which they work
around you with the goal of implementing the methodology of error.
·
Beware of the “winds of doctrine”
concerning financial prosperity that are not scriptural.
Romans
1:18 For the wrath of God is revealed
from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;
·
“Doctrines of men” activate the methods of error, and
suppresses the righteousness of God.
God’s righteousness is the visible manifestation of His glorious deeds
upon the earth. If we teach, or are
taught what is wrong, the activity of the Spirit of God is restricted in
proportion to the error.
1Tim 6:5
Perverse disputings of men of corrupt ( thoroughly corrupted)
minds, and destitute (defrauded) of the truth, supposing that gain is
godliness ( esteeming as the law or the custom of the land that material acquisition brings godliness): from such withdraw thyself.
3 John 1:2 Beloved, I wish above all things that thou
mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy
soul prospereth.
·
New
Testament prosperity comes from two words that mean a “good road” or a “good path”. This implies success or accomplishing in an expeditious matter
what we have set out to do. If we
desire to have true success in our finances as believers, our success must start
with a prosperous spiritual condition.
Matthew 6:24 No
man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other;
or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and
mammon.
·
Greek: You cannot be a slave to two lords…
You will hate one, and love the other one unconditionally…you will embrace one;
and think little of the other…Ye cannot be a slave to God and to material
acquisitions.
·
Matthew six and twenty four is another one of those “famous”
proportional scriptures. To the extent
that we embrace material gain for selfish motives is to the same extent that we
will think little of, and hate the Lord.
By hating the Lord, I mean to say that we will hate what He requires
from us that regard the yielding up of the material wealth that we dearly
embrace. Our ability to obey the Lord, as Lord, will be restricted likewise to
the extent that we are submitted to the lordship of material gain.
1 Tim 6:6 ¶
But godliness with contentment is great gain.
·
Greek (paraphrase & my
thoughts): What is great gain is (not
selfish material acquisition but) godliness with contentment.
·
Contentment
- Is a most interesting word. It is defined as the state of being so
filled with the Spirit of God that the believer is self sufficient solely in
the fullness of the Spirit. By this
self-sufficiency I mean, that the Christian is totally free or independent from
being swayed or trapped by the sufficiency that comes from external
circumstances and worldly affairs. His
or her sole sufficiency is in the Lord and not upon external means. This type
of believers are content with having little or much, because they independently
self-sufficient from the world, and solely dependent and self sufficient in the
revelation of the Lord Jesus.
7
For we brought nothing into this
world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out.
·
I
love how the Greek NT scholar Marvin Vincent translates this scripture; “ We brought nothing into this world because we
can carry nothing out.”
8
And having food and raiment let
us be therewith content.
·
Greek: And having food and covering we shall be
self sufficient in the
Lord.
9
But they that will(to plan for and deliberately
purpose to ) be rich fall into temptation( the trials of the devil and
sin) and a snare (the same word used for a snare used to catch birds and
beasts, unaware), and into many foolish(void of understanding) and hurtful( injurious) lusts, which drown men in
destruction and perdition.( which cause men to sink into destruction and perdition)
·
Destruction: Destruction has to
do with numerous types of earthly calamities, bondages, and illnesses that come
to plague people as they make it their chief aim to become rich.
·
Perdition – Perdition can also
be termed as destruction, but many times it is the outcome of the destruction
brought by the love of money. Perdition can contain within it both spiritual and eternal aspects. The
calamities brought by the love of money on many occasions send people to hell
because the lord mammon has taken the precedence over the Lord Jesus.
Revelation 9:11 And they had a
king over them, which is the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in the
Hebrew tongue is Abaddon, but in the Greek tongue hath his name Apollyon.
· The name Appollyon, which the
angel of the bottomless pit, comes from the same root word for perdition. Both are defined as “destroyer”
and “destruction.” I believe that that the danger of the Christian seeking
material acquisitions is self-explanatory.
10
for the love of money (a fond love) is the root of all evil: which while
some coveted
after( to
stretch out after in order to grasp) they have erred from the faith ( to be led astray from the
truth and into idolatry), and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.
(grief,
distress and pain.)
·
Greek: For
“a”(not “the”) root of all types of what is injurious, destructive and harmful is
the fondness of money
·
The TDNT reference book has the following definitions for
the “erring from the faith” that comes to some Christians who have a
fondness for material gain. Secular
deceiving, leading into idolatry, or offending the will of the Lord, is some of
them.
11
But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness.
·
I simply love the
word “flee”! Our English word for fugitive comes from this
word. Several dictionary definitions such as a runaway, a person who is
fleeing, or someone who takes to flight describes the fugitive. My friends, we must be fugitives from the
love of selfish material gain.
·
Likewise, I love the
word “follow after”, which is none else than the word for persecute!
·
My friends, we must be fugitives
from the love money and persecute instead righteousness, godliness, faith,
love, patience, and meekness!
·
Righteousness: The visible and righteous exhibitions of the works of the invisible
God through our lives. Likewise,
righteousness is also the outward results of the grace or labor that the Lord
performs within us. We must be “living molds” of the image of the Lord Jesus
Christ, the outcome of the super human labor of the revealed Christ, and not
the bondage brought through our own efforts by the works of the law. Persecute this!
·
Godliness A life that is entirely pleasing
to God. Persecute this!
·
Faith Living by “the faith of God” which
is found in His rhema word, as we restrict our lives to the voice of the
Spirit. Persecute this!
·
Love Unconditional, sacrificial love,
for our neighbor and brethren. Persecute this!
·
Patience Loving endurance with the
quirks and hang-ups of others. Persecute this!
·
Meekness This is the conclusive mark of the
“love slave” of God! It is the yielding
up of all of our rights to the Lord. Persecute this!
·
12
Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also
called, and hast professed
a good profession before many witnesses.
·
Greek:
Athletically agonize in the beautifully athletic conflict of faith.
·
Grasp and make for
your own eternal life now on earth.
·
In which you have
confessed a beautiful confession. (Confession is the reality of what lies inside of us as expressed outwardly through an
honest mouth. A beautiful confession
can only come forth from a beautiful life.)
13
That thou keep this commandment without spot, unrebukeable, until
the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ:
o
Greek Guard, and watch over
carefully, in order to fully perform, the commandment without blemish, free
from vice, and with nothing that the devil or man can take a hold of, or point
an accusatory finger at.
17
Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not
highminded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who giveth us
richly all things to enjoy
·
Nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God,
“Nor to hope in the riches of
uncertainty.”
·
Who giveth us richly all things to enjoy Who supplies us richly from His own resources.
18
That they do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to
distribute, willing to communicate;
·
Ready to distribute Always ready to impart
with openhanded liberality.
·
Willing to communicate The TDNT defines
this rare New Testament word as “belonging or appointed to society” or “gladly giving others a
share.”
·
“Willing to communicate” comes from the word for fellowship, which is to “have in common.”
19
Laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the
time to come, that they may lay hold on eternal life.
·
Greek: Treasuring up for themselves a beautiful
foundation into the future so that they may be free in the present time to grasp and make their own eternal life.
2 Corinthians 9:6
But this I say, He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and
he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully.
·
Greek: “He that soweth upon a blessing
shall reap upon a blessing.”
·
What the apostle Paul has in mind when he tells us to sow
bountifully is that our sowing must be of such quality and in such quantity
that it will reach to produce a real blessing upon someone else. Such a man or woman will reap a blessing
back from the Lord. Mother Teresa said,
“We must love until it hurts.”
The Law of (Koinonia) or Christian Fellowship Supercedes Financial Prosperity,
Tithes & Offerings
Acts 2:42 And they continued stedfastly in the apostles’ doctrine and fellowship koinonia and
in breaking of bread, and in prayers.
Romans 15:26 For it hath
pleased them of Macedonia and Achaia to make a certain contribution koinonia for the poor saints which are at Jerusalem.
2 Corinthians 8:4 Praying us with
much intreaty that we would receive the gift, and take upon us the fellowship koinonia of the ministering to the saints.
2 Corinthians 9:13 Whiles by the
experiment of this ministration they glorify God for your professed subjection
unto the gospel of Christ, and for your liberal distribution koinonia unto them, and unto all men;
Hebrews 13:16 But to do good
and to communicate koinonia forget not: for with such sacrifices God is well pleased.
The Restoration of the Apostolic Walk Must Occur in the Church
Mat 10:7 And as ye go,
preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand.
8 Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out
devils: freely ye have received, freely give.
9 Provide neither gold, nor
silver, nor brass in your purses,
10 Nor scrip for your journey, neither two coats, neither
shoes, nor yet staves: for the workman is worthy of his meat.
11 And into whatsoever city or town ye shall enter, enquire who in it
is worthy; and there abide till ye go thence.
12 And when ye come into an house, salute it.
13 And if the house be worthy, let your peace come upon it: but if it
be not worthy, let your peace return to you.
14
And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words, when ye
depart out of that house or city, shake off the dust of your feet.
