1-22-2014-APOSTLES DRIVE OUT DEVILS NOT DISCIPLES


"REMARKS"

IT IS OBVIOUS MANY CHURCH PEOPLE ARE TRYING TO GET THEMSELVES INVOLVED IN THE DEMONIC WORLD AND TRYING TO DRIVE OUT THEM OUT OF PEOPLE.

JESUS, YAH'SHUA, GAVE HIS DISCIPLES THE POWER TO BECOME APOSTLES WITH THE POWER TO CAST OUT DEVILS,  AND TO HEAL THE SICK. 


MATTHEW 10: 1-8 =

(1) AND WHEN JESUS CALLED HIS TWELVE DISCIPLES, HE GAVE THEM POWER AGAINST UNCLEAN SPIRITS, ie DEMONS, TO CAST THEM OUT AND TO HEAL ALL MANNER OF SICKNESS AND ALL MANNER OF DISEASE.

(2) NOW THE NAMES OF THE TWELVE APOSTLES ARE THESE;

*I WANT TO STOP HERE WITHOUT GOING THROUGH ALL THE NAMES OF THESE TWELVE DISCIPLES, WHO AS YOU READ ARE NOW COMMISSIONED TO BE APOSTLES. THIS IS IMPORTANT TO SEE AND UNDERSTAND, THAT IS WHY I SAY, ONLY THOSE COMMISSIONED BY JESUS, CHRIST HIMSELF ARE NOW APOSTLES.

THE GREEK DEFINITION OF THE WORD APOSTLE IS THIS;

APOSTLE: OFFICIALLY A COMMISSIONER OF JESUS CHRIST (APOSTLE) WITH MIRACULOUS POWERS. ALSO IS DEFINED AS ONE WHO IS SENT. 

NOW CONTINUING ON WITH THIS PASSAGE OF SCRIPTURE:

(5) THESE TWELVE JESUS SENT FORTH AND COMMANDED THEM SAYING, GO NOT IN THE WAY OF THE GENTILES AND INTO ANY CITY OF THE SAMARITIANS ENTER YOU NOT:

(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) HEAL THE SICK, CLEANSE LEPERS, RAISE THE DEAD, CAST OUT DEVILS: FREELY YOU HAVE RECEIVED, FREELY GIVE.

 

MANY CHURCH PEOPLE DEAL IN DANGEROUS WATERS WHEN THEY DEAL WITH DEVILS AND REALLY ARE NOT QUALIFIED TO DO SO. THIS CAN LEAD TO SERIOUS CONSEQUENCES.


ACTS 19: 13-17 =

(13) THEN CERTAIN OF THE VAGABOND JEWS, EXORCISTS, TOOK UPON THEM TO CALL OVER THEM WHICH HAD EVIL SPIRITS THE NAME OF THE LORD JESUS SAYING, WE ADJURE YOU BY JESUS WHOM PAUL PREACHES.

(14) AND THERE WERE SEVEN SONS OF ONE SCEVA A JEW, AND CHIEF OF THE PRIESTS WHICH DID SO.

(15) AND THE EVIL SPIRIT ANSWERED AND SAID, JESUS I KNOW AND PAUL I KNOW; BUT WHO ARE YOU?

(16) AND THE MAN IN WHOM THE EVIL SPIRIT WAS, LEAPED ON THEM AND OVERCAME THEM AND PREVAILED AGAINST THEM, SO THAT THEY FLED OUT OF THE HOUSE NAKED AND WOUNDED.


IT IS IMPORTANT TO WAIT UPON THE CALLING OF THE LORD JESUS, YAH'SHUA, TO COMMISSION YOU AS AN APOSTLE AND NOT JUST A DISCIPLE.
