1 | standing on snakes and scorpions | Luke 10:19 | likethat | 143069 | ||
how come paul had the same power/authority? (remember he was bitten by a snake) and he was not part of the twelve. and if you read luke chapter 10 through to verse 19,20 you read that Jesus sent out the seventy to heal the sick and then the seventy returned(luke 10 v 17) with great joy saying that even the demons were cast out in Jesus name.and it was after that, that Jesus said I saw satan fall like lightning and then proceded to tell them (the seventy) that they had been given the authority to stand on snakes and scorpions and to overcome all the power of the evil one and they will not be harmed. i do not read that the seventy left, or that only the twelve came back to him. this portion of scripture suggests quite plainly that Jesus did not only rely on the twelve, but Jesus had a lot more diciples than just the twelve. and i count myself as one who does the same work as the seventy and therefor i have the same mandate in this time and age as they had and the same authority. i thank you for your input searcher56 your brother in Christ likethat |

dear chris i am going through exactaly what you are going through, the question of Gods call for my life. i remember when i first got saved that all i wanted to do was find out Gods purpose for my life,and one day while praying The Lord spoke to me in my Spirit and said "why are you so caught up in what my purpose is for your life, when i want you to first find out what my will is for your life "i replied "Lord forgive me, then what is Your will for my life"? He replied " to first become like my Son Jesus" thats the sanctification that i think you are talking about. i however started to do just that(focus on becoming like Jesus) but still wonderd what my purpose was in life and how would it be revealed to me. (as i am writting this to you the Lord is showing me that we were first and formost created to praise and worship him, if this is all we ever do we would be fulfilling our purpose and call in life Amen) anyway, Chris when i was saved, and i dont know if it was the same for you, but i just knew in my spirit that there was more to my calling, something bigger was going to happen, but nothing yet has happend. i have tried to get into the ministry believing i have heard his call but always seem to be stopped by other older Christians who bring scripture like "if a man doesnt work he should not eat" and "a man who does not provide for his immediate family denise the faith and is worse than an unbeleiver" and even, "stay out of the ministry as long as possible". yet in my heart i know that doing Gods work on a full time bases is what i was called to do. that is my calling to preach and avangalise the nations. what ever route my life has taken due to mans intervention may or may not have been of God i dont know. but what i am sure of is this, that God will finish the work that he has started in me and that His word says that he gives us the desires of our hearts and my desire is to see Gods Kingdom come and The name of Jesus be Glorified. if i am still going threw the process of Gods will for my life( becoming more like Jesus) then i will wait till he speaks because i am maybe not ready yet. i have learned, many times in my life i have tried to open up doors myself and i have thought that i heard from God and things have gone horribly wrong. but it was the times that i said to my wife "you know what lets just forget about it lets not spend any time thinking about it, being anxtious about it, and wait on God for his perfect timeing" and it has worked every time. Chris i really feel for you and understand your frustration and hunger to move into your devine appointment. and i tell you that it will happen to you, as you continue to become more like Jesus you will see that your life will start to reflect your purpose. there is nothing you or i can do physicaly about our situation but we can,Praise God, pray about it Amen.) what should you be doing was your question? ANSWER: RUN THE RACE. "BLESSED ARE THOSE WHO PERSEVERE BECAUSE WHEN THEY HAVE STOOD THE TEST THEY WILL RECIEVE THE CROWN OF LIFE WHICH GOD HAS PROMISED THOSE WHO LOVE HIM" i prophicy to you that your crown of life will be recieving your calling to fulfill your purpose in life which will bring Glory to the Fathers Name because you love Him and it will come by the end of the year 2005. i hope that you have been encouraged and that you recieve what has been written here as not from one who has been to bible collage but rather as one who has been through the lessons of lifes collage as i have walked with Jesus. bless you likethat |
