A Conference
How To Build A N.T. Church?
1.
All seminars are held
by invitation from your church or ministry.
2.
Because of the amount of materials that
must be covered, a week is 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.
Thank you and God
bless you!

A Study on Defensive Spiritual Warfare
John 14:30
Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the prince of this world
cometh, and hath nothing in me.
· In
Jesus own words He says, “The prince of the cosmos comes, and it is impossible
for him to have even have the tiniest connection with me.”.
·
This is true binding.
Eph
4:27 Neither give place to the devil.
·
Another version renders “giving place”, as our construction of a
landing strip, or an airport runway. Any
time that we are in willful disobedience to the Lord, we automatically open up
an airport on our very backs.
Romans 10:10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the
mouth confession(Homologia) is made unto salvation.
2
Timothy 2:26 And that they may recover
themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his
will.
·
That they may return to soberness out of the snare of the
devil, after having being hunted down, taken captive, and caught alive by the
devil, in order to do his will.
1 Peter 5:8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your
adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may
devour:
Be temperate dispassionate and serious in your life., because your
opponent in a suit of law, the devil, as a roaring lion, conducts himself
around, arduously and earnestly seeking, whom he may drink down, swallow,
consume, and destroy.
Ephesians 2:2
Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world,
according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:
·
The
sons of disobedience energize the schemes of the devil. The word for disobedience is being
non compliant.
A Study on the Accurate
Knowledge of the Truth Sets Us Free.
Ephesians 1:17 That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may
give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him:
Ephesians 4:13 Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of
God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of
Christ:
Colossians 1:9 For this cause we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease
to pray for you, and to desire that ye might be filled with the knowledge of his will in
all wisdom and spiritual understanding;
Colossians 2:2 That their hearts might be comforted, being knit together in
love, and unto all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the acknowledgement of the
mystery of God, and of the Father, and of Christ;
Colossians 3:10 And have put on the new man, which is
renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him:
1 Timothy 2:4 Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the of the
truth.
8:15
PM – 9:00 PM Session # 2
How Does Godly Sincerity
Sets Us Free?
1 Cor 5:8 Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, neither with
the leaven of malice and wickedness; but with the unleavened bread of sincerity
and truth.
Philippians 1:9 ¶ And this I pray, that your love may
abound yet more and more in knowledge(thorough
knowledge) and in all judgment;(discernment)
Greek: ( my paraphrase included in italics) That
your love may abound yet more (but always held bounded within the river banks
of a) a full precise and
accurate knowledge of the
things of God.
10 that ye may
approve things that are excellent;(
what differs or excels) that ye may be sincere (judged by the sun) and without offence till the day of Christ;
·
Greek: That you may recognize as genuine upon examination
the things that are differing.
Your recognition of what differs will allow you to choose only what is
excelling or best towards your fulfillment of the things that pertain to
Christ. This will cause you to become so pure that it will allow
for the beams of sunlight to shine through you unhindered.
Likewise you will
become as one that has nothing that will make others stumble when they observe
your life before the Lord.
2 Peter 3:1 This
second epistle, beloved, I now write unto you; in both which I stir up your
pure minds by way of remembrance:
Romans 7:4 Wherefore, my brethren, ye also are become dead to the law by the
body of Christ; that ye should be married to another, even to him who is raised
from the dead, that we should bring forth fruit unto God.
Romans 7:5 For when we were in the flesh, the motions of sins, which were by
the law, did work in our members to bring forth fruit unto death.
1 Cor 15:56 The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law.
·
The “life giving” power of sin is found in the law
6
But now we are delivered from the law, that being dead
wherein we were held; that we should serve in newness of spirit, and not in the
oldness of the letter.
7
¶ What shall we say then? Is the law
sin? God forbid. Nay, I had not known sin, but by the law: for I had not known
lust, except the law had said, Thou shalt not covet.
·
In no way would I have knowledge of sin if not through the
law. This is why God brought the law in
the first place, but not for us to serve Him by it.
8
But sin, taking occasion by the commandment, wrought in
me all manner of concupiscence. For without the law sin was dead.
Ro
3:20 Therefore by the deeds of the law
there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin.
·
Through the law comes the accurate knowledge of sin.
Romans 7:9 For I was alive without the law once: but when the commandment
came, sin revived, and I died.
10 And the commandment, which was ordained to life, I found to be unto
death.
11 For sin,
taking occasion by the commandment, deceived me, and by it slew me.
·
Also because sin was given a base of operations through the
law it fully works out deception, thereby killing us.
14 ¶ For we know that the law is
spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin.
Romans 8:1 ¶ There is therefore now no
condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh,
but after the Spirit.
2
For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath
made me free from the law of sin and death.
·
The law of the spirit of life resides in the
person of Christ. As Christ is revealed
or we are conformed into his image, this law becomes more evident.
·
What is the law of the law of the spirit of
life? It is the law that brings the
life and the blessings of God.. In
other words, every time that we choose to obey the voice of the Holy Spirit we
activate the blessings of God according to this law.
·
The
law of sin and death is activated at any time that we choose to follow God in
the flesh, through the law..
·
It
is of vital importance for us that we comprehend, that the law of the Spirit of
life in the person of Christ is more powerful than the law of sin and death.
3
For what the law could not do, in that it was weak
through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and
for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:For powereless is the law in that
it became weak through our flesh. But
Christ passed a condemnatory sentence upon the sin that dwells in the flesh.
4 That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in
us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

·
There is the carnal, the natural,(psychikos; or psychological man: )
and the spiritual.(pneumatikos; the man of the spirit, air, or breath) Believers are either natural or spiritual. God desires all of us to be “pneumatic
Christians; discerning the breath of the Spirit of the living God.”
1Cor 2:9 But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor
ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God
hath prepared for them that love him.
10 But God hath revealed them( taking the lid off) unto us
by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth(sounds
out) all things, yea, the deep things of God.
11 For what man
knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so
the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God.
14 But the natural man(psychikos) ( receiveth(to welcome with open rams)
not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither
can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. (to determine something so as to render a
decision)
15 But he that is spiritual(pneumatikos) judgeth all things, yet he
himself is judged of no man.

Eph
1:11 In whom also we
have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of
him who worketh (ENERGIZING)
all things after the counsel of his own will:
Phillip 2:13 For it is God which worketh ( ENERGIZING) in
you both to will and to do
(TO ENERGIZE) of his good
pleasure.
1 Cor 12;11 But all these worketh (ENERGIZES) that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every
man severally as he will.(COUNSELS)

John 15:15 Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant
knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have

John 16:13
Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of
himself; but whatsoever
he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.
.
1 Cor 2:10 But God hath revealed them( taking the lid off) unto us
by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth(sounds
out) all things, yea, the deep things of God.
1 Cor
2:11For what man knoweth the
things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of
God knoweth no man,
but the Spirit of God.
12 Now we have received, not the
spirit of the world, but the
spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of
God.
John
5:20 For the Father loveth the Son, and
sheweth him all things that himself doeth: and he will shew him greater works
than these, that ye may marvel.
·
We must know that continually, at all moments,
the Father is exhibiting within us all that He does in way that we can
understand and confirm what he says, so that we can manifest it outwardly as
proof into the world.
1 John 2:20 ¶ But ye have an unction from the Holy
One, and ye know all things
What is the Faith of God?
Mark
11:22 And Jesus answering saith unto
them, Have faith in (Have the “God kind” of faith, or
the faith OF GOD!) God.
·
(God is in the genitive
Greek case signifying possession; therefore it is “God possessing something”;
in this case, “God’s possession of faith”)
Gal 2:20 I am
crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me:
and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith, of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave
himself for me.
·
(Greek: The life which I now live in the flesh, I
live in faith, this being the faith which dwells in the Son of God. (Genitive
Greek case signifying possession)
The Rhema Word is The Faith of God
q
The faith OF CHRIST
is His rhema word. God’s
rhema word is a specific word, which the Holy Spirit speaks into our hearts
when He wants to minister His purposes into a specific circumstance.
Romans 10:17 So
then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the Rhema word of God.
·
(Greek:
So then faith gets its life from hearing, but the type of hearing, which
describes faith, must be exclusively one which comes through the rhema word of
God.
Romans
10:8 But what saith it? The rhema
word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the rhema word of faith,
which we preach;
q
Every rhema word represents an itemized description
of God’s measure of faith, as He has tailored it for every situation in which
He speaks the rhema word into.
It is therefore an account of what the Lord can accomplish within a
particular circumstance.

Faith Part # 2
THE
FAITH OF JESUS
Mark 9:23 Jesus
said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth.
·
If you have the ability to believe for something, without allowing
for a chronic pattern of doubt to set in, that very thing that you believe for
becomes transformed into something, mighty and strong and powerful and capable
to obtain what you are seeking for.
Mark 10:27 And Jesus looking upon them saith, With men it is impossible, but
not with God: for with God all things are possible.
·
Greek paraphrase: God
is capable and able, and mighty and strong to successfully accomplish His will
in every affair in heaven and upon the earth.
Mark 11:23 For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this
mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt
in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to
pass; he shall have whatsoever
he saith.
·
If you believe without doubting that the content of
what you speak comes to pass at the moment that you speak it, as many
are the things, whatsoever they are, or how great, and difficult,
and much they are that make up that
content, it will come into existence for you.
Mark 11:24 Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye
pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.
Every type of thing that you request in
prayer, that you believe that while praying, you received it in your heart at
the moment of your request, it shall become a reality to you in the future.
“As”
Thou Hast Believed
Matthew 8:13 And Jesus said unto the centurion, Go thy way; and as thou hast believed, so be
it done unto thee. And his servant was healed in the selfsame hour.
Matthew 15:28 Then Jesus answered and said unto her, O woman, great is thy
faith: be it unto thee even as
thou wilt. And her daughter was made whole from that very hour.
The
Authority of Faith
Matthew 8:13 And Jesus said unto the centurion, Go thy way; and as thou hast believed,
so be it done unto thee. And his
servant was healed in the selfsame hour.
Matthew 9:29 Then touched he their eyes, saying, According to your faith be it unto you.
Matthew 15:28 Then Jesus answered and said unto her, O
woman, great is thy faith: be
it unto thee even as thou wilt. And her daughter was made whole from
that very hour.
Faith In The
Perfect Tense
Matthew 9:22 But Jesus turned him about, and when he saw her, he said,
Daughter, be of good comfort; thy faith hath made thee whole. And the woman was made whole from that hour.
Mark 5:34
And he said unto her, Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole go in peace, and be
whole of thy plague.
Jesus Intuitive Knowledge of Our Faith.
Matthew 9:2 And, behold, they brought to him a man sick of the palsy, lying
on a bed: and Jesus seeing
their faith said unto the sick of the palsy; Son, be of good cheer; thy sins be
forgiven thee.
Matthew 9:22 But Jesus turned him about, and when he saw
her, he said, Daughter, be of good comfort; thy faith hath made thee
whole. And the woman was made whole from that hour.
Mark 2:5
When Jesus saw
their faith, he said unto the sick of the palsy, Son, thy sins be forgiven
thee.
A Study on the Faith of Moses and
Abraham: The blueprint for the faith of the church.
Heb 11:1 ¶ Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the
evidence of things not seen.
q
Substance is also the foundation or title deed
q The proof or the
full assurance of the “coming” affairs that make up life though yet not seen
with the physical eyes.
Hebrews
11:3 Through faith we understand that
the worlds were framed
(equipped) by the rhema word of God, so that things which are seen were
not made of things which do appear.
q
Greek: The worlds were framed by the rhema word
of God, so that the things that we presently see with our eyes were made out of
things that cannot be seen by the eye.
In other words, God always creates what is physically evident to us, out
of things, which are physically invisible, through the rhema word. The word “framed” is the same word used for
the mending of the fishing nets by the apostle Peter. It is also defined as the full equipping towards the successful
carrying out of a mission. The “framing”
of the United States armed forces in the Persian Gulf Crisis tells us that they
were furnished with the quality and quantity of armaments, food, gear, and
clothing that were needed to furnish them a total victory.
6 But without
faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe
that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
7 By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved
with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by the which he
condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith.
8 By faith Abraham, when he was called to go out into a place which
he should after receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and he went out, not
knowing whither he went.
11 Through faith also Sara herself received strength to conceive seed, and was delivered
of a child when she was past age, because she judged him faithful who had promised.
·
Received dunamis power to lay down a foundation of seed
(Greek: “spermatos”)
27 By faith he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king: for
he endured, as seeing him who is invisible.
Romans 4:17 ¶ (As it is written, I have made thee a
father of many nations,) before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth
the dead (corpses),
and calleth those things which be not as though they were.(the things not existing as existing)
q
Greek
translation and also my own paraphrase; Abraham once and for
all, (aorist tense)
believed God. Who is the God whom he
believed in?
q
Abraham
believed in the God whose nature is to continuously give life to the dead i.e.
(Greek; Circumstances which are so dead that they are corpse like).
q
This
tells us that the nature of our God is to call forth the things, which are
still not physically in existence as having the same reality and essence of things,
which are in existence. This is one of
the facets of faith!
q
Think
of it; Abraham’s faith in God was so great, that out of corpse like
circumstances, and out of things, which in reality do not exist, God made
Abraham into a father of many nations and millions of people. This is called
the faith of Abraham.
Romans 4:18 Who against hope believed in hope, that he might become the
father of many nations, according to that which was spoken, So shall thy seed
be.
Greek: Abraham, with all hope gone,
believed on a foundation made out of hope, that he might become the father of
many nations, in relation to the rhema word which was spoken, So shall thy seed be.
Romans
4:19 And being not weak in faith, he
considered not his own body now dead ( now in a
permanent state of a corpse) , when he was about an hundred years old,
neither yet the deadness ( the
corpse-likeness) of Sara’s womb:
Romans 4:12 And
the father of circumcision to them who are not of the circumcision only, but
who also walk(Greek: march as a soldier ) in
the steps ( footprints)
of that faith of our father Abraham, which he had being yet uncircumcised.
q
We are commanded to
march (in Romans four and twelve,) as soldiers whose duty is to keep in line
with the footprints made by the type of faith that our father Abraham had. If we do so, God will make us spiritual fathers
and mothers of the multitude of things that pertain to His kingdom.
Gal 5:25 If we live in ( Instrumental (By)) in the Spirit, let
us also walk (Greek
word which is defined as “marching in the footsteps of a soldier”) in (Instrumental (By))
the Spirit.
Greek paraphrase)
(It is a given that we should be living our lives not in the present day world
system, but in the domain, influence, and sovereignty of the world of the Holy
Spirit. Because we are being continually affected and influenced by the Spirit,
in that influence and effect we must march in step as soldiers so that the
Spirit’s influence can go on, deepen, intensify, and continue interrupted.
1 Cor 13:12 For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now
I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.
Gal 5:6 For in Jesus
Christ neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision; but faith
which worketh by love.
·
For
in Jesus Christ only obedience to God by faith produces the strength of God
that can display His power.

But speaking the truth(BY
CONTINUALLY TRUTHING IT OR SPEAKING THE TRUTH) in love, may grow up into him in all
things, which is the head, even Christ
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.

Grace and Understanding the Principles of
God’s Power #1
Peter 1:13 Wherefore
gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought
unto you at the
revelation of Jesus Christ;
1
Corinthians 15:10 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 more abundantly
than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God
which was with me.
Col 1:29 Whereunto I also labour, striving according
to his working (ENERGY),
which worketh (IS
ENERGIZED) in me mightily(
IN DUNAMIS POWER)
1Co 1:30 But of
him are ye in Christ Jesus,
who of God is made unto
us wisdom, and righteousness,
and sanctification, and redemption:
§
In Corinthians
1:30 we see that Christ has been made into righteousness,
sanctification, and redemption. Christ does
not dispense these blessings! He
Himself is the blessings! If we
ask God to make us righteous, are prayers will be only halfway answered. If we ask God to sanctify us, we have missed
God’s best.
§
God’s
righteousness has to do with the manifested or outward qualities of God that
originate from His inward holy character.
§
Sanctification [61]is defined as the
progression of our being purified by the Spirit of God.
§
Redemption has to
do with the process of our being rescued from the power of Satan, bondage, sin,
and the love of the world.
§
Christ does not
produce these things in us as separate blessings. He has been made into these attributes.
·
As Christ becomes revealed within our
lives, God’s righteousness becomes more and more of a reality in us. It is automatic!
Romans 8:1 ¶ There is therefore now no
condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh,
but after the Spirit.
3
For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath
made me free from the law of sin and death.
1 Corinthians 1:23 But we preach Christ crucified, unto the
Jews a stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness;
2 Cor 4:10 Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that
the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body.
11For we which
live are alway delivered unto death for Jesus’ sake, that the life also of
Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh.
Phillip 3:21 Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto
his glorious body, according to the working (ENERGY) whereby he is able ( HE HAS THE CAPACITY) even to subdue (
SUBORDINATE IN MILITARY ORDER) all things unto himself.

John 8:42 Jesus said
unto them, If God were your Father, ye would love me: for I proceeded forth and came from (Root
Source) God; neither came I of myself (exclusive, and
independent self), but he sent me.
Galatians 6:15 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth (INWARD STREGTH)
any thing, nor uncircumcision, but a new creature. (THE IMAGE OF
CHRIST)
Romans 2:2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed (METAMORPHOSIED) by the renewing of
your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect,
will of God.
John
7:17 If any man will do his will( If any one out
of His own will desires to do God’s will) he shall
know of the doctrine(
Instrumental: teaching), whether it be of God, or
whether I speak of ( from
the edge of; the idea of separation or departure from) myself.( exclusively
and independently from myself as a source and from none other.)
John
8;28 Then said Jesus
unto them, When ye have lifted up the Son of man, then shall ye know that I am he ( I am) , and that I do nothing of myself
(and that I do nothing independently and exclusively from the
Father); but as my Father
hath taught me( but as the Father has instrumentally
penetrated, affected, and influenced me) I speak these things (these
things I utter, express, and speak prophetically, by that divine
influence which has permeated me.)
John 6:57 As the living Father hath sent
me ( Greek: apostolic
sending), and I
live by (INSTRUMENTALLY) the Father: so he that eateth me,

Corinthians 4:9 For I think that God hath set forth us the
apostles last,(Last in receiving honor, last in being recognized by men

importance and in the estimation of men.) as it were appointed to death:(DOOMED TO DIE)

unto the world, and to angels, and to men.

So Balaam went with the princes of Balak.
Acts 7:38
This is he, that was in the church in the wilderness with the angel which
spake to him in the mount Sina, and with our fathers: who received the lively oracles to
give unto us:
1 Peter 4:11 If any man speak, let him speak as the oracles of God; if any man minister, let him
do it as of the ability which God giveth: that God in all things may be
glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be praise and dominion for ever and
ever. Amen.

the servants of Balak, If Balak would give me his house full of silver and
gold, I cannot go beyond

a river ) the
word ( Hebrew: the mouth) of the LORD my God, to do less or more.(to
do the insignificant or what is great.)

And God came unto Balaam at night, and said unto him, If
the men come to call thee, rise up, and go with them; but yet the word which I shall say unto thee, that shalt thou do.
38 And Balaam
said unto Balak, Lo, I am come unto thee: have I now any power(dunamis) at all(dunamis) to say

The New Testament Church in Action
1Cor 12:12 ¶ For
as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one
body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ.
·
Paul’s confirms what we have already stated. The human body, and the body of Christ as
His church, should function alike.
1Cor
12:14 For the body is not
one member, but many.
·
The Greek makes use of the “absolute negative” for
the word “not”. Literally defined, we are told that under no circumstance,
should a congregation be made up of a few active members. This argument hits at the very core of “a
great church deception
1Cor
12:15 If the foot shall say, Because I
am not the hand, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body?
1Cor12:16 And if the ear shall say, Because I am not
the eye, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body?
·
What an incredible dependency we must have for each
other. An independent spirit towards
the Lord Jesus, or towards one other, will stunt our process of growth. Every member is called to sharpen each
other, through their callings and ministries.
1Cor 12:17 If the whole body were an eye, where were the
hearing? If the whole were hearing, where were the smelling?
·
The fewer the number of members serving and ministering
within a local body, the fewer will be the giftings available to it. This particular congregation will be greatly
hindered in its discernment of demonic infiltration. There will be a deficiency in the prophetic that administers
guidance, exhortation, and encouragement, and the confirmation of God’s will.
1Cor14:3 But he
that prophesieth
speaketh unto men to edification,
and exhortation,
and comfort.
Acts 4:33 And
with great power
gave the apostles witness
of the resurrection
of the Lord Jesus: and great grace was upon them all
1Cor3:10 According to the grace of God which is given
unto me, as a wise masterbuilder( ARCHITECT), I
have laid the foundation, and another buildeth thereon. But let every
man take heed how he buildeth thereupon.
·
Every church that I have attended in the last
twenty years, for the exception of the one that I go to now, has been unable to
discern the presence of wolves, gross sin, and major doctrinal error, blatantly
obvious in its midst. In due time God
always exposed these forces. Considerable damage had been done to the flock
however, or God finally closed the congregations down. Much of this has to do with the lack of
commitment and participation of the church’s members or the prohibition of
spiritual gifts by the elders.
1Cor12:
18 But now hath God set the members every one
of them in the body, as it hath pleased him..
21 And the eye
cannot say unto the hand, I have no need of thee: nor again the head to the
feet, I have no need
of you.
Literally
the Greek admonishes us, that not even of the weakest member can we say “I
have no need of you” and not be lying!
The superior members are in desperate need of the inferior
22
Nay, much more those members of the body, which seem to be more
feeble, are necessary. The weakest members are indispensable.
23 And those members of the body, which we
think to be less honourable, upon these we bestow more abundant honour; and our uncomely
parts have more abundant comeliness.
·
Literally “we place a wreath of
superabundant honor upon the weaker or more unseemly members”, says
the Greek. .. Our deformed, indecent,
and unseemly parts always require special care. That same care should be given to all weaker members within our
congregations.
·
For our comely parts have no need: but God hath tempered the body together, having
given more abundant honour to that part which lacked:
·
“To temper” means That God has caused each part of His body to be
melted and hammered together into an organic whole.
Three types of churches
1Cor 1:10 ¶ Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our
Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no
divisions among you; but that ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind
and in the same judgment.
·
This is a church that has attained to a same
level of understanding and discernment within its parishioners. Active discipleship, healing, and equipping
of the saints produced this.
Consequently this congregation now operates within the same opinions,
purposes, resolves, and decision making.
Phillipians 1:27 ¶ Only let your
conversation be as it becometh the gospel of Christ: that whether I come and
see you, or else be absent, I may hear of your affairs, that ye stand fast in
one spirit, with one
mind striving together for
the faith of the gospel
Acts2:46 And they,
continuing daily with one
accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, did eat
their meat with gladness and singleness of heart,
·
Literally “the one burning passion church”. One accord is a political term that
denotes a unanimous decision or vote for one candidate. A political party puts all of its support
behind its man or woman. Multitudes
raise their hands to vote the same way, because of its harmony of heart, and
zeal for their cause. The party
sacrifices personal interest in view of the larger cause held by the whole
organization. The church in one
accord votes for its candidate Jesus Christ, and His cause, and with all
passion and ardor follows Him sacrificing all else.

Ministering in the Spirit
Principles
of Ministry
Ezekeil 3:1 ¶ Moreover he said unto me, Son
of man, eat that thou findest; eat this roll, and go
speak unto the house of Israel.
q
He said God spoke to me rhematically
q
Eat Consume and devour
q
Roll: “Writing.” Here it is the writing furnished by God’s
Spirit.
q
Findest: What I show you from moment to moment in the Spirit
devour it, and then minister it through my words with the same intention and
intensity that I show it to you.
2
So I opened my mouth, and he caused me to eat that roll.
q
God, Himself, revealed and gave the desire to consume His
word so that then the prophet could minister it as led by the Lord in
obedience.
3
And he said unto me, Son of man, cause thy belly to eat,
and fill thy bowels with this roll that I give thee. Then did I eat it; and it
was in my mouth as honey for sweetness.

God commands us to be filled in abundance with the flow of
His rhema word, ”as a writing” which is furnished by the flow of God’s river.
Jer 15:16 Thy words were found, and I did eat them; and thy word was unto me
the joy and rejoicing of mine heart: for I am called by thy name, O LORD God of
hosts.
Romans
12:6 Having then gifts differing
according to the grace that is given to us, whether prophecy, let us prophesy
according to the proportion of faith;
7
Or ministry, let us wait
on our ministering: or he that teacheth,
on teaching;
q
Greek: Ministry in the sphere of
(our) ministry (Ministry must be executed in the realm of the ministry
to which we have been called to; no more and no less. This is what Paul means by Or ministry, let us wait on our
ministering. In other words let us
minister only in the ministries that God has called us to. “Walk in your calling” is a very important
commandment. Part of our maturing, as Christians is the change that the Lord
makes in our lives to get us out of the key to ministry is to “walk only in the
two or three things that God has called us to do.” Being busy for the Lord in a host of Christian activities will
produce spiritual burnout. Likewise,
the onset of spiritual burnout is a sure sign that we are not walking in our callings.
Cor 14:6 ¶ Now, brethren, if I come unto
you speaking with tongues, what shall I profit you, except I shall speak to you
either by revelation, or by knowledge, or by prophesying, or by doctrine?
q I come to
fellowship with you in utterance by the instrumentality of a revelation.
1 Corinthians 14:26
How is it then, brethren? when ye come together, every one of you hath a psalm, hath a doctrine,
hath a tongue, hath a revelation, hath an interpretation. Let all things be
done unto edifying.
·
Greek: What is it brethren?
Whenever the time may be that you assemble yourselves, each of you a psalm
(hymns; a means of putting OT psalms to music) has, a teaching has, a tongue
has, a revelation has, an interpretation has.
All things for building up let it be done.

Notice the body
ministry of the early church versus our present “models” which have a few
people ministering.

Cor 14 :1 ¶ Follow
( persecute) after charity, and desire( have a godly jealousy for) spiritual gifts, but rather that ye may prophesy.
1
Corinthians 14:39 Wherefore, brethren, covet( be jealous) to
prophesy, and forbid not
(do not hinder or withhold) to speak with
tongues.
1
Corinthians 14:29 Let the prophets
speak two or three, and let the other judge. (Discern)
q
Two or three prophets can prophecy in succession and the rest of
the church must discern the spirit of the prophets. Many churches to day have
totally closed down the gift of prophecy, but the Word of God teaches us
otherwise.
32 And the
spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets.
q
Greek: And the
spirits of the prophets are in continuous military subjection to the prophets.
q
We must never be scared of false prophecy. If it is false, it is
our responsibility to discern it but never to quench.
John
5:9Then answered Jesus and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The
Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth (To habitually glance at what the Father does in
the Spirit. This is not discernment
with understanding) the Father do: for what things soever he doeth, these
also doeth the Son likewise. ( Greek word
“homos” )
·
Glancing in the
Spirit to what the Father does, gives us that momentary instinctive knowledge,
which on many occasions, is enough for us to step out in faith and do with
identicalness what we have acquired instinctively in our spirits.
·
Our right to do so is based on the fact that
we have an equal inner spiritual nature to that of the Father, giving us
identity with Him in our outward actions.
We are responsible to work with identicalness to what we see on the
Spirit. This is what the term “homos”
means.
John 8:38 ¶ I speak
(INSTRUMENTALITY: to utter and express prophetically (not the content of
the speech)) that which
I (What I) have seen
( To see with a spiritual discernment which causes me to understand) with my
Father: and ye do that which ye have seen with your father.
John
3:11 Verily, verily, I
say unto thee, We speak
that we do know (We utter prophetically what we know instinctively in
the Spirit in one moments time, and not as needing the acquisition of knowledge
in the continuum of time), and
testify ( but however bear acquired knowledge as with a prophetic
vision) that we have seen
(only when we see with discernment and understanding); and ye receive not our
witness.
John
5:17 But Jesus answered
them, My Father worketh
hitherto ( My Father never ceases working in the Spirit) and I work.(and I work
externally, using exactly the same procedures and in exactly the same manner in
which I see instinctively the Father working within me.)
John
3:11 Verily, verily, I
say unto thee, We speak
that we do know (We utter prophetically what we know instinctively in
the Spirit in one moments time, and not as needing the acquisition of knowledge
in the continuum of time), and
testify ( but however can only bear testimony as with a prophetic
vision) that we have seen
(only when we see with discernment and understanding); and ye receive not our
witness.
John 5:30 I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my
judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father,
which hath sent me.
·
“Judging”, in the
verse above is the administration of God’s kingdom in the Spirit.
Romans
12:6 Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, whether
prophecy, let us prophesy according
to the proportion(Greek
“corresponding to the word) of faith;(belonging to
faith)
1
John 1:1 That which was
from the beginning, which we
have heard, which we
have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, of the Word of life;
·
Heard,
·
Seen
with discernment,
·
Behold
as a movie in a theater,
·
Felt, touched, and handled of the “Word of The Life” or the
word which when ministered contains God’s “kind of life” and the operations
of that life within it, to make the ministry operational.
1Sam 3:21 And the LORD appeared again in Shiloh: for
the LORD revealed himself
to Samuel in Shiloh by the word of the LORD.
q
Hebrew: Yahweh uncovered or disclosed Himself to Samuel through His
word.
q
The word
discloses the Lord to the world as it is faithfully spoken forth by the
prophet.
q
The apostle and the
prophet uncover or disclose the hidden Lord Jesus dwelling in the form of
mystery to the church. As He is
disclosed, the church can then participate or fellowship in to what the Lord
Jesus has purposed and called forth corporately and individually. The more revelation, the more participation
into the Lord by the church, and by individual believers.
