Bringing Forth Treasures Old and New – Part 2

Continued from part one at:

https://www.minimannamoments.com/bringing-forth-treasures-old-new/

We were looking at the actIONs of the apostles and the attributes noted in the scriptures which identified them as: little christs/christians/disciples/apostles.

These are words that should also describe us, and be evident in our lives for the world to see as we follow Messiah Yeshua/Jesus.

obedience

grace

power

boldness

and

glory.

Resuming at

Grace which

we understand as His favor.

Strong’s Hebrew: 2580. חֵן (chen) — favor, grace

Phonetic Spelling: (khane) חֵן

favor, gracious, pleasant, precious, well-favored From chanan; graciousness, i.e. Subjective (kindness, favor) or objective (beauty) — favour, grace(-ious), pleasant, precious, (well-)favoured. 

In Hebrew, chet or chen,

also the place of His presence.

Chet/Chen is represented by the fence and describes a protected garden (Eden), private place, an inner room or a sanctuary…

Recall the pictograph depicting grace as a place, the place of our hiding and the womb where we are conceived and develop before birth. We are in His grace now also and in ‘a womb’ waiting to be reborn into a new resurrected glorified body; then we know we shall be like Him.

The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: 17And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together. 18For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.
 19For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God.
20For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope, 21Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.
22For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now.
Romans 8:19

Beloved, now we are children of God, and it has not appeared as yet what we shall be. We know that, when He appears, we shall be like Him, because we shall see Him just as He is. 1John 3:2

And we will become aware of a new desire in our hearts placed there by our Fathers’ Spirit.

A new direction maybe?

New instructions?

New Fire for His Word?

and the Lord He gives the increase.

Hearing about Him is insufficient.

Reading about Him is not enough.

Thinking we know is not fullness.

We have to be doers,

this is ACTions of the sent ones.

Not readers, talkers and thinkers, but doers of His word.

Just reading will not benefit, especially speed reading! We have to take it in, like real food, chew it and digest it for it to give any benefit of its’ nutrients into our bodies; both physical and spiritual.

We are told to Consider Our Ways in Haggai 1:5-7 

Not Make Excuses.

The people were saying, and giving reasons not to act.

The time has not come, even the time for the house of the Lord to be rebuilt ” (Haggai 1:2).

We Must Get Our Priorities in Order.

The people said that it was not time to rebuild the temple

(Haggai 1:2). …

Remember Our Dependence Upon God. …

Obey the Word of God… Not what people are saying!

5 Now therefore thus saith the Lord of hosts; Consider your ways. 6 Ye have sown much, and bring in little; ye eat, but ye have not enough; ye drink, but ye are not filled with drink; ye clothe you, but there is none warm; and he that earneth wages earneth wages to put it into a bag with holes. 7 Thus saith the Lord of hosts;Consider your ways.

Acts 5:36 and 2:39

The CALL is by His spirit and we have the choice to accept or refuse it.

By doing nothing we have refused and usually go on to live a life just like our peers saying to ourselves, ‘this is Gods’ plan for me’…is it because its an easier more comfortable and familiar way?? Four decades ago our Heavenly Fathers’ call came to this life and the message He gave for this servant to share has not changed… Repent… Turn around …come out from the world be saved, delivered, healed, filled with His spirit and make disciples; teaching them to do the same.

Strong’s Hebrew: 7121. קָרָא (qara) — to call, proclaim, read

Imagine, if we, all of our generation had done this, just think how many would be in the Kingdom today…but we always think it’s someone else’s job… we just want to live a nice, comfortable life….BUT… It’s not too late, we have today to share freely what we freely received.

The mission field of a ready harvest is right where you are…

We are not man appointed (vs. 38, 39) and if it’s not by His Spirit, it will fail.

The anointing of His spirit of holiness

by His grace brings the power

manifest through boldness

to witness and to DO

what God has called us to do in His Word.

Obedience in the name of Yeshua/Jesus and by His power we work the works of Him who sent us Yeshua/Jesus.

And by His power to destroy the works of the devil… this is what the power is for and why He came. 

1 John 3:8 For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.

Acts 4:13 Holy BOLDNESS it was obvious they’d been with Yeshua/Jesus…. do people see that in us?

5:29 Obey God rather than man OBEDIENCE

29 But Peter and the other apostles answered and said: “We ought to obey God rather than men.

Then Peter . . . answered.

1 that God must be obeyed rather than earthly rulers;

2 God raised up Jesus whom they hanged on the cross;

3 exalted him to his right hand;

4 to be a Prince and Savior, to grant Israel the opportunity to repent, and to obtain forgiveness;

5 that they were witnesses of these facts, and so was the Holy Spirit.

To Hear and Obey

are the essence of the

shema

with which they were all familiar.

6:6,7 Brought INCREASE and BLESSING 6 whom they set before the apostles; and when they had prayed, they laid hands on them. 7 Then the word of God spread, and the number of the disciples multiplied greatly in Jerusalem, and a great many of the priests were obedient to the faith.

6:10 7 And the word of God increased; and the number of the disciples multiplied in Jerusalem greatly; and a great company of the priests were obedient to the faith. 8 And Stephen, full of faith and power, did great wonders and miracles among the people. 9 Then there arose certain of the synagogue, which is called the synagogue of the Libertines, and Cyrenians, and Alexandrians, and of them of Cilicia and of Asia, disputing with Stephen 10And they were not able to resist the wisdom and the spirit by which he spake.

the POWER of His Spirit of Holiness is IRRESISTIBLE brings anointing /POWER

 

BOLDNESS attracts GLORY/anointing.

Prov. 28:1+12

The Boldness of the Righteous. 

1 The ungodly man flees when no one pursues: but the righteous is confident as a lion

The righteous are bold as lions.

וְ֝צַדִּיקִ֗ים but the righteous wə·ṣad·dî·qîm

כִּכְפִ֥יר as a lion kiḵ·p̄îr

יִבְטָֽח are bold yiḇ·ṭāḥ.

Proverbs 28:1 doesn’t have in mind that kind of boldness when it says the righteous have it and the wicked don’t. The boldness here is the boldness required for a just/righteous cause. What is it about the wicked that makes them so often flee (in the presence of justice) when no one is pursuing?

Could it be that..

When the righteous 
צַ֭דִּיקִים (ṣad·dî·qîm)

triumph, 
בַּעֲלֹ֣ץ (ba·‘ă·lōṣ)

there is great 
רַבָּ֣ה (rab·bāh)

glory, 
תִפְאָ֑רֶת (ṯip̄·’ā·reṯ)

Because of the anointing

Strong’s Hebrew: 4886. מָשַׁח (mashach) — to smear, anoint

מְשִׁיחָה. More Hebrew words for anointing. noun מְשִׁיחָה. unction, band, cord, strand, thread

The high priest’s anointment is otherwise designated by the verb kadesh ( qaddesh; “to sanctify”). Indeed, the anointment “sanctifies” the high priest by removing him from the realm of the profane and empowering him to operate in the realm of the sacred, i.e., to handle the holy items.

Thus the Hebrew word mâshach that means to rub with oil also, by implication, means to consecrate. Mâshîyach (a derivative) is translated into the English adjective ‘anointed’ and thus means a consecrated person or thing.

Anointing stands for greatness (Sifre, Num. 117; Yer. Bik. ii. 64 d ): consequently, “Touch not mine anointed” signifies “my great ones.” All the vessels of the tabernacle, also, were consecrated with the sacred oil for all time to come (Num. R. xii.). 

Strong’s Greek: 5545. χρῖσμα (chrisma) — an anointing, unction

From chrio; an unguent or smearing, i.e. (figuratively) the special endowment (“chrism”) of the Holy Spirit — anointing, unction.

The sick were healed, miracles were wrought, demons cast out…

Boldness with great power and grace and obedience

they were told to leave serving tables and give themselves to prayer.

We too must put the Word first place!

Josh 1:8 This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.

Acts 6:4 4 But we will give ourselves continually to prayer, and to the ministry of the word.

1 And in those days, when the number of the disciples was multiplied, there arose a murmuring of the Grecians against the Hebrews, because their widows were neglected in the daily ministration. 2 Then the twelve called the multitude of the disciples unto them, and said, It is not reason that we should leave the word of God, and serve tables.

Our Heavenly Father has a due time and season.

Be ready to do, or to stop doing, that which He is telling you.

Be open to change, to move on and serve in a deeper way.

Be a doer of His Word – not a hearer only…

ACTS of the apostles and disciples they ACTED.

 מעשי השליחים

The Apostles were Hebrews.

Born and raised Jewish/Hebrew 

so they were taught the language of their families. When Messiah appeared to Paul on the Damascus road, he said that Yeshua/Jesus spoke to him in Hebrew.

Acts 21, it is written about Paul, “He spoke to them in the Hebrew language.” And on his way to Damascus, Paul says, Jesus spoke to him in Hebrew: “I heard a voice saying to me in the Hebrew language, ‘Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?’”

His Holy Spirit is a gift.

Acts 2:38 39 it’s a promise

Ps 75:6 obedience,

faithfulness and

steadfastness

bring promotion

Streadfastnesss

Strong’s Hebrew: 530. אֱמוּנָה, (emunah)

— firmness איתנות איתנה

faithful set office, stability, steady,

What Does The Word ‘Steadfast’ Mean In Hebrew?

aman-

to be firm, faithful, true, to trust; have belief; to believe.

This word indicates that a subject is lasting or enduring. Also, it signifies being firm or trustworthy.

 I will fasten him as a peg in a secure place, And he will become a glorious throne to his father’s house!! Is.22:23-25

peg – vav – hook.

HA SH’KHINAH {SHEKINAH}

is Hebrew for

GOD’S ABIDING, DIVINE PRESENCE.

Additionally, ABBA YAH means FATHER YAH.

Holy Spirit of Promise

Ruach HaKodesh ka’sher dibber

(ROO-akh hak-KOH-desh ka-a-SHER deeb-BEIR)

Holy Spirit Of Promise (Eph. 1:13).

spirit of Holiness –

Hebrew: רוח הקודש ‎,

Ruach HaKodesh

 

Dedication 

הַקדָשָׁה

sanctification

inscription, beatification, consecration,

Strong’s Hebrew: 2598. חֲנֻכָּה (chanukkah) — dedication …

chanukkah: dedication, consecration.

Patience – סבלנות

Patience has another word in Hebrew which is also biblical:

E•rech Ru•ach (literally, ‘long breath’).

 

It appears once in the Bible as an important gift of the spirit:

“Better is the end of a thing than its beginning; and the patient in spirit is better than the proud in spirit”.

persistence

 התמדה

also

Strong’s Hebrew: 8280. שָׂרָה (saw – rah) — to persist, exert …

to persist, exert oneself, persevere.

Original Word: שָׂרָה. 

 

These are rewarded by the Lord

We need this same anointing now and its as available to us today as it was 2000+ years ago.

WHY?

It’s to work the works of Yeshua/Jesus and by so doing, destroy the works of the devil; which is why He came.

All we have to do is ask and receive

because we are to work while it is still day

for the night is coming

and very soon

when no man can work.

John 9:4

Grace

Boldness

Obedience

Power

Glory

Yeshua/Jesus told them in His own words when the promise of the power was given in v8;

to receive the power

to be witnesses

unto Him

not

for Him

but of Him about Him.

Gk. dunamis – authority

We can read in the following verses:

The call is by His spirit v. 39 43

signs and wonders done 3:7

vs 42 43 means 100% commitment

47 praising God

3:12 not by our own power or holiness

4:7 by what power

4:12 bold declaration by Peter vs. 13 & 29 & 19 

Acts 4:13: “Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and”
Acts 4:29: “unto thy servants, that with all boldness they may speak thy word,”
Acts 4:31: “the word of God with boldness.

v. 5:29 obey God not man

boldness with actions

v.v31 spoke the word of God with boldness

v.v33 great power they gave witness of the resurrection

and great grace was upon them

v. 5:12 power also manifests in unity of one accord

v. 15 Peters’ ‘shadow’/anointing.

The door of grace is closing, the end of the opportunity for salvation is coming close and then it’s over.

Choose today… will we be counted in that number?

6:8 Stephen was one of His Disciples,

he was full of faith and power;

he did great wonders and miracles

and loved not his life unto physical death.

Most significantly…Jesus/Yeshua stood up for him as he transitioned.

Deliverance brings Joy.

8:8 6-8

In the cities where they ministered. 9:27 and 29

 

Boldness in v.34 Aeneas had palsy and was raised up.

40 Tabitha was raised from dead.

10:38 anointed with His Holy Spirit POWER there were

healings,

deliverances

and salvations.

Their obedience and His grace brought power from their boldness, giving glory to the Father in Jesus/Yeshuas Name.

Boldness, Power, Grace, Glory, Obedience,

they are essential

ingredients for a walk/halak bearing much fruit.

The GRACE of His Spirit of Holiness infused them with the BOLDNESS to preach in POWER and demonstration bringing GLORY to the father by their OBEDIENCE.

The BOLDNESS came through the GLORY

and the POWER of His spirit of GRACE,

anointing them

to be OBEDIENT to their CALLing.

10:38 How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth.

Let’s shake ourselves out of complacency;

let’s deliver ourselves from the spirit of entitlement which gives us ‘self time’ we think we deserve.

Procrastination will kill the anointing of the spirit of God in us.

They were all

changed

unto

obedient, bold, witnesses,

full of grace, power and truth

bringing glory to the Father...

we can be too…simply accept His call and

receive ALL that He has for you…

These words may assist you..

Heavenly Father I come to you in the Name of Jesus/Yeshua. I truly desire to be obedient to your call on my life, so I lay down my life right now and dedicate the remaining time you grant me on this earth to work in and for your Kingdom. I desire to work the works of Jesus/Yeshua and be a witness unto Him and humbly ask for You to equip me, in order to fulfill that which You have for me to do. Forgive me for procrastinating and putting off what I know has been in my heart. Strengthen me to make the step of faith that I need to take to be right in the center of Your will for me. Thank you for doing abundantly above all I can ask or even think and showing me the direction to take so I too can be changed. Thank you for the grace to be obedient so that the boldness and power of Your Spirit can bring glory to your Name through my life.

May His true Shalom/Peace

rest upon each one in Jesus/Yeshuas’ Name.

‘Mishpachah’ ‘Family’

Mish-pa-KHa Mish-pa-KHa

NOT SURE if you are part of His Family?

YOU CAN BE..

Say the following and mean it from your heart…

Heavenly Father I come to you in the Name of Jesus/Yeshua asking for forgiveness of my sins for which I am truly sorry. I repent of them all and turn away from my past.

I believe with my heart and confess with my mouth that Jesus/Yeshua is your Son and that He came in the flesh and He died on the cross at calvary to pay the price for my sin, so that I might be forgiven and have eternal life in the kingdom of Heaven. Father I believe that Jesus/Yeshua rose from the dead and I ask you to come into my life right now and be my personal Savior and Lord and I will worship you all the days of my life.

Because your word is truth, I say that I am now forgiven and born again in my spirit and by faith I am washed clean with the Blood of Jesus/Yeshua. Thank you that you have accepted me into your family in Jesus’/Yeshua’s name. Amen.

 

Bringing Forth Treasures Old & New

Bringing Forth Treasures Old and New

in the course of our halak/ walk/ Journey

Strong’s Hebrew: 1980. הָלַך (halak) — to go, come, walk

we mature and the more we read and hear truth the more we recognize error and that some interpretations are derived from men’s minds and natural thinking.

It is not so strange then, if we amend our understanding of His Word from time to time.

This word is a living word and speaks directly to us. It is a miracle in and of itself. Our humility is seen as we submit to His Truth and recognize that we may have thought wrong because of some teaching we heard, or lack of it, while we were still new babes in His kingdom.

Therefore there may be what appears as inconsistencies if one reads earlier mmm posts. They have not been amended on purpose, so as to show progress, as we are all on the Way, learning as we go! No one knows everything except the Father and the scripture references that mmm was led to put on home page about seeking treasures and pearls are referring to the truth of His Word.

As we dig, He shows us more and so many times the ‘new’ is only ‘new’ to us as individuals; and it always adds to our understanding. Line upon line and preset upon precept. Is.28:10

For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little:

We are not doing away with foundations rather we are building upon them.

That being said, the content of this post is a combination of old and new treasures; as much of this message was received in the early 90s and was shared with many by way of newsletter, physical meetings and radio. (No internet back then!)

So today it is an

old treasure

yet now with the Hebrew added it is a

new treasure also.

Our Heavenly Father gives teachings/ the understanding of His Word; at specific times; there is always a trend for a message to the body. 2 Peter 1:20

For he received from God the Father honour and glory, when there came such a voice to him from the excellent glory, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. 18And this voice which came from heaven we heard, when we were with him in the holy mount. 19We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts: 20Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. 21For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.

The same message is given to others and that is confirmation of His time to release.

It is His Meat in due season.

Psalms 104:27 |These wait all upon thee; that thou mayest give them their meat in due season.

Psalms 145:15 | The eyes of all wait upon thee; and thou givest them their meat in due season.

Matthew 24:45 | Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season?

Luke 12:42 | And the Lord said, Who then is that faithful and wise steward, whom his lord shall make ruler over his household, to give them their portion of meat in due season?

Proverbs 15:23 | man hath joy by the answer of his mouth: and a word spoken in due season, how good is it!

The subject content of every post is prayerfully received as directed by His Spirit and is to serve the needs of His ecclesia/called apart ones.

In these days when many cannot meet together or hear His words of encouragement and edification, the Internet has become a spiritual lifeline to so many. So we must work while it is day…

John 9:4 |I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work.

and His Word of life/chaim, can go out on the airwaves; a modern way to receive manna from Heaven right into our homes where we are.

 11 So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it. Isaiah 55:11

Our father knows what His children’s needs are and not for fame or gain; freely we have received freely we give.

These servings of substance are to fortify the reader in every way possible.

They are not mine, ours, or otherwise, so freely share with others.

He will take His word and infuse each one with His lifes chaim.

John 6:63 | It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.

That is the meaning behind the

treasures old and new

and that each one will hear and bear witness of His truth in their own spirit.

We are all responsible to check things for ourselves.

We may differ personally on certain points however, we can only give out from the storehouse of life’s experiences. If we have not walked the walk, we have nothing to say. Until we understand who we are and why we are here, we walk in darkness and the light of His truth is not lighting our path.

Psalms 119:105  Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.

Yeshua/ Jesus experienced all the issues of the natural life/

חַיִּים chaim lifes

Alternate Spellings: Hayyim, Hayim, Chayyim, Chaim, Haim

The Hebrew word for life has a special ending that is similar to the plural ending (im) but slightly different (ayim), specifically indicating that it is double, or a pair. The ending of the word chaim means specifically two lives, which speaks of God’s plan for our life here on earth, and the life to come.

so He could identify with each one of us. If you are one who wonders why so many things have befallen you; it is for you to experience them so that you can identify with others and help them, encourage them. You came through it so can they. Things He asks us to do are in

Matt.25:35-40

35 For I was hungry and you gave Me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave Me something to drink, I was a stranger and you took Me in, 36 I was naked and you clothed Me, I was sick and you looked after Me, I was in prison and you visited Me.’ 37 Then the righteous will answer Him, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry and feed You, or thirsty and give You something to drink?…

In the natural sense we understand yet there is another WAY to

Feed the hungry: which is offering the word of God as spiritual food,

Give a drink: thirsty people have their thirst satisfied by the drinking of the Words of life –

chaim – lifes

His Word is continually springing up to eternal life.

Taking in the stranger: giving them shelter from the elements and clothing the naked: is offering them the Way to receive

a garment of salvation and robe of righteousness.

Sick and you looked after Me; is offering healing by the power of His Spirit of Holiness.

In prison and you visited Me; is literally deliverance, setting captives free from spiritual bondage.

All quoted from Isaiah 61, which He read in the synagogue about Himself. He was fulfilling prophecy.

He unrolls the scroll of the prophet Isaiah, and He reads this passage from

Isaiah 61

And he began to say unto them, This day is this Scripture fulfilled in your ears Luke 4: 21

With that said, Joel saw the future thousands of years ago and it is now meat in due season.

Joel 2:28 And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions:

29 And also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out my spirit.

30 And I will shew wonders in the heavens and in the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke.

31 The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and the terrible day of the LORD come.

32 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the LORD shall be delivered: for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as the LORD hath said, and in the remnant whom the LORD shall call.

50 days after Yeshua/Jesus’ resurrection

it came to pass

the outpouring of former and latter rain.

They knew it and declared it.

Acts 2:14 – 21

verse 16 But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel;

But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice, and said unto them, Ye men of Judaea, and all ye that dwell at Jerusalem, be this known unto you, and hearken to my words:

15 For these are not drunken, as ye suppose, seeing it is but the third hour of the day.

16 But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel;

17 And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams:

18 And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy:

19 And I will shew wonders in heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath; blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke:

20 The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before that great and notable day of the Lord come:

21 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.

Before that day/ moment they were afraid and secluded away, waiting on a promise of His return/coming to them.

He did not disappoint.

The father’s spirit of holiness/Ruach HaKodesh, the same that came and rested upon Yeshua/Jesus at His baptism/immersion; came in fullness to those in that upper room. The same place they had celebrated pesach/passover 50 days before. One wonders if the water jar bearer was in the room with them?

We are familiar with the story but let’s look at some Hebrew. Remembering they were all Jewish/Hebrew.

Yeshua/ Jesus did come to them and by leaving His and the Father’s Spirit of Holiness with them, their lives changed once again.

This time with a very obvious difference.

The nervous Peter caught in denial of his rabbi Messiah, became a whole new man.

 

What we need to remember is this is still ongoing and it has never stopped. Whosoever will choose Him can also receive His Spirit of Holiness in fullness.

This is not to focus on any one particular doctrine or dogma; it is simply His Word with some added questions and possible answers that the writer has had over the last four decades. If we love Him we truly want to know Him more and that can be aided by seeing and discovering

the treasures in His Word, both old and new.

What Joel prophesied and what the Apostles and Disciples experienced did not end there…it has continued since and will do so until Messiah returns. We are therefore part of ActIONs of the Apostles & Disciples and as such should become familiar with the equipping of His ecclesia. (All of us).

APOSTLE (Gr. “messenger”), in early Christian usage, term applied to the disciples of Yeshua/Jesus whom He had sent out to preach His message, and occasionally also applied to other missionaries of the early period. Outside the New Testament the noun ἁπόστολος was not common in Greek, though the verb ἁποστέλλω was.

Our Heavenly Father must be at the center of all we do and we must be filled with His anointing.

What is that?

It is the manifested presence of Our Father God /YeHoVeH and His power flowing through us, to help us do what He has called us to do for His kingdom.

If we all not working for His kingdom, why do we need His anointing?

Truth is we don’t….

if we are not following Him,

doing what He did, being like Him. 

Little christs – aka christians – little anointed ones.

There is a anointing described in acts of the apostles. It should really be titled the ActIONS of the Apostles/Disciples because they were DOING – ACTing, and it included the disciples/followers also.

 

How did Peter became a whole new man?

Like all those there on that day, the book of acts describes the attributes of His Spirit that they were imbued with from on high. They are 

 grace,

power,

boldness, 

and because of their

obedience,

it bought

glory

to the Father.

If you are called you are also sent and equipped because the One who calls you is faithful, and He will do it.

May the God of peace, who through the blood of the eternal covenant brought back from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great Shepherd of the sheep, equip you with everything good for doing his will, and may he work in us what is pleasing to him, through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen” (Hebrews 13:20-21).

glory

כָּבוֹד.

kavod.

We are qualified physically by all life’s experiences and spiritually by His equipping of us through His anointing and the operation of His Spirit of Holiness/ Ruach HA kodesh; by way of the gifts, working of miracles etc.

HEBREW: working of miracles עבודה של ניסים

The Hebrew word for miracles is “Nes.”

The B’nai Yisaschar defines a “nes” as an action, from God, that is supernatural. The word “nes” also means the sail of a boat.

Strong’s Hebrew: 4159. מוֹפֵת (mopheth) — a wonder, sign …

1 Cor. 12:10. The Spirit gives one person the power to work miracles; to another, the gift of speaking God’s message; and to yet another, the ability to tell the difference between gifts that come from the Spirit and those that do not. To one person he gives the ability to speak in strange tongues, and to another he gives the ability to explain what is said.

These last days will require us to also receive what the first apostles were given.

As they were OBEDIENT, BOLDNESS was given to them to go into the dark places and take His light.

He promises to be with us IF we will go.

There is that condition word again, IF.

Be encouraged to read through acts of the apostles chapters 1 through 7 and highlight the word boldness.

This Boldness is clearly documented in the actions of the newly anointed, set apart ones /the newly Holy Spirit filled ecclesia.

HEBREW: Called apart ones נקראים בנפרד

Strong’s Hebrew: 6942. קָדַשׁ (qadash) –

– to be set apart or

consecrated

Col 1:12-15: “. . . giving thanks to the Father who has made us fit to share in the inheritance of the set-apart ones in the light, Who has delivered us from the authority of darkness, and transferred us into the reign of the Son of His love, in whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, Who is the likeness of the …

Boldness

 עֹז ʻôz, oze

It comes by way of His Grace and brings glory to the Father produced by our obedience.

They, the believers received the same spirit of Holiness that we can receive and all our Father wants us to do, is to move on forward in the same spirit; and He calls us to a deeper level by entering into the fullness of that which God has for us.

Strong’s Hebrew: 7121.

Strongs’s #2227: zoopoieo – Greek

Strong’s Hebrew: 2421.

חָיָה (chayah) — live

ă·ḥay·yeh

a making alive moving from death to life.

HEBREW: כוח תחיית המתים

This Aramaic word translates into Hebrew as

תקומה ( tequmah, Strong’s #8617).

In Modern Hebrew, the word for “resurrection” is

תקומה  tequmah 

the same word from the Peshitta.

In the Peshitta, a 5th Century Aramaic New Testament, the word used for “resurrection” in the verse above is the word קימתא (q’yam’ta).

This word is derived from the verbal root קום

(Strong’s #6965) meaning “to stand up” or “to rise up.”

The word תקומה (tequmah) is found once in the Hebrew Bible.

But as touching the resurrection of the dead, have ye not read that which was spoken unto you by God, saying, (ASV, Matthew 22:31)

While the word “resurrection” does not appear in English translations of the Tanakh (Old Testament), it does appear in the New Testament as a translation for the Greek word αναστασις (anastasis, Strong’s #386).

This noun is derived from the word ανιστημι

(anistemi, Strong’s #450),

which means “to stand up” or “to rise up.”

This Greek word appears once in the Septuagint, a 2,000 year old Greek translation of the Hebrew Bible.

And behold I establish [in the sense of something standing firm] my covenant with you, and with your seed after you, (LXE, Genesis 9:9)

And they shall stumble one upon another, as it were before the sword, when none pursueth: and ye shall have no power to stand before your enemies. (ASV, Leviticus 26:37)

From all of this,

we can gather that the ancient understanding of the

resurrection of the dead,

is the

rising up of the dead,

or more literally, the

standing up

of the dead.

By the raising of Yeshua /Jesus from the dead we too are changed from death to life.

The resurrection assures us that the devil, sin, and death can have no real power over us, since they have no power over the Messiah, who bore them for us but triumphed.

For the follower of Jesus/Yeshua,

ein od milvado ( אֵין עוֹד מִלְבַדּוֹ ),

there is no real power apart from God.

This NEW life (chaim – one of two);

is the gift of God to us by His Grace…

So no one gets indigestion the conclusion is in part 2!

 

 

May His true Shalom/Peace

rest upon each one in Jesus/Yeshuas’ Name.
