Where are the real prophets of GOD? Where are the real apostles of GOD? Where are the real evangelists of GOD? Where are the real pastors? Where are the real teachers of GOD, that GOD himself has set up in the true church of JESUS CHRIST?
“WHERE ARE THEY?”~
For if all your religious leaders were truly given to the church by GOD, and set up in the church by GOD, then surely there would be perfecting of the saints for the work of the ministry taking place in your institutions called churches.
If all your religious leaders were truly given to the church by GOD, and set up in the church by GOD, then surely there would be an edifying taking place in the whole body of CHRIST: Till we all come in the unity of the faith In CHRIST JESUS, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto perfect men and women of GOD, unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of GOD in CHRIST JESUS.
If all your religious leaders were truly given to the church by GOD, and set up in the church by GOD, then surely the body of CHRIST would not be plagued with a multitude of people who are ignorant, immature, unlearned, untaught, unequipped, and lacking the revelation knowledge of GOD in the person of JESUS CHRIST!
If all your religious leaders were truly given to the church by GOD, and set up in the church by GOD, then surely your churches would not be full of immature children who are 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 them.
If all your religious leaders were truly given to the church by GOD, and set up in the church by GOD, then surely your churches would not be full false prophets, false apostles, false pastors, false teachers, false teachings, false doctrines, false leaders, false evangelists, and false ministers, because GOD himself has given them to the church, and GOD himself has placed them in the church, and GOD does not make mistakes!~
If all your religious leaders were truly given to the church by GOD, and set up in the church by GOD, then surely your churches would be one church, one spirit, one hope of your calling, one baptism, with one Lord, and one GOD who is the father of all, through all, and in you all.
If all your religious leaders were truly given to the church by GOD, and set up in the church by GOD, then surely your churches would resemble the church JESUS left his disciples in the book of Acts, and they would be just as powerful, for GOD said, “the latter house shall be greater than the former house.
1 Corinthians 12:27-28 Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular. And God has set some in the church, first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, diversities of tongues.
(Ephesians 4:11-14) And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: 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 fullness of Christ: 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.
(Ephesians 4:4-6) There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling; One Lord, one faith, one baptism, One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.
Brothers and sisters, there is no such thing as a five-fold ministry in the body of CHRIST, there is only one ministry in the body of CHRIST, that is the ministry of JESUS CHRIST, and we are all ministers of the gospel of JESUS CHRIST, not ministers of ourselves, not ministers of our gifts or our callings, but ministers of CHRIST JESUS!
There is no separate apostle’s doctrine, there is only one doctrine, and that is the doctrine of JESUS CHRIST, his words, the doctrine of JESUS CHRIST is the apostle’s doctrine, they do not have their own doctrine!
Brothers and sisters, I do not have my own ministry, and this not the ministry of Reese Kemp, this is the ministry of JESUS CHIRST!
And GOD is the Father and the founder of this ministry, JESUS is the pastor of this ministry, the Holy Ghost is co-pastor of this ministry, and I am just a minister whom GOD has anointed with his word to minster!
“WHERE ARE THEY?”~
(1 Corinthians 3:1-15) And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, even as unto babes in Christ.
I have fed you with milk, and not with meat: for hitherto you were not able to bear it, neither yet now are you able.
For you are yet carnal: for whereas there is among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are you not carnal, and walk as men?
For while one says, I am of Paul; and another, I am of Apollos; are you not carnal?
Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers by whom ye believed, even as the Lord gave to every man?
I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase.
So then neither is he that plants any thing, neither he that waters anything; but God that gives the increase.
Now he that plants and he that waters are one: and every man shall receive his own reward according to his own labour.
For we are labourers together with God: you are God’s husbandry, you are God’s building. According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder, I have laid the foundation, and another builds thereon.
But let every man take heed how he builds thereupon.
For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is JESUS CHRIST.
Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble; Every man’s work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man’s work of what sort it is.
If any man’s work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward. If any man’s work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire.
(1 Corinthians 1:10-13) Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our LORD JESUS CHRIST, that you all speak the same thing, and that there be no DIVISIONS among you; but that you be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment.
For it has been declared unto me of you, my brethren, by them which are of the house of Chloe, that there are DIVISIONS among you.
Now this I say, that every one of you says, I am of Paul; and I of Apollos; and I of Cephas; and I of Christ. IS CHRIST DIVIDED?
Brothers and sisters, CHRIST JESUS is not divided or separated like your churches are, and neither is the true church of JESUS CHRIST divided like your churches are, but if you want to find the real JESUS, then you have to search for him in his word, for he can be found in his word!~
(John 14:6-7) JESUS SAYS, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man comes unto the Father, but by me. If you had known me, you should have known my Father also: and from now on you know him, and have seen him.
(John 6:44-45) JESUS SAYS, No man can come to me, except the Father which has sent me draws him to me: and I will raise him up at the last day. It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God. Every man therefore that has heard, and has learned of the Father, comes unto me.
