Introduction

Modern day apostleship is a very controversial subject within today's Christianity. The vast majority of professing Christians believe that there are no apostles being sent by Jesus on missions today but many others dispute that opinion. I am one of the Christians who dispute it and I feel led by God to here give you the reasons that I have for so doing.

Romans 15:18 - For I will not presume to speak of anything except what Christ has accomplished through me....

Here I am testifying about what I believe to have been Jesus Christ's supernatural workings to inform me of my apostolic appointment and then to guide me in it for over 35+ years! So here I have substantiated everything that I have written about my apostlic mission with what I believe are rightly divided Biblical verses and teachings. And here I have also given some very unique testimonies about the Lord's powerful substantiating movements within my life and also within the lives of other Christians with whom He has led me to fellowship.

I ask you the reader to approach these teachings and testimonies with an open mind and a humble and prayerful spirit, desiring only to find God's truth, not mine, about modern day apostleship.

Isaiah 1: 18 "Come now, let us reason together," says the Lord....

So please set aside all of your preconceived notions on this subject and permit God to speak to you in a way that you can understand and believe, as to whether or not this spiritual church office gift is for Christians today (as I am here contending that it is).

Every one of my teachings which are within this blog are open to being corrected and / or improved upon thru thoughtful responses from you, the readers whom God has sent here. You may post your constructive criticisms and / or suggestions in a comment at the bottom of each teaching's entry or you may e-mail them privately to me at - anonymousapostle@gmail.com.

Periodically, I will revisit every teaching within this blog in order to add more pertinent testimonies and / or more substantiating Scriptures to it and also to make corrections and / or improve it. That's when I will update each of them with any truths that I find God giving me from within your comments about them.

James 3:17 - The wisdom from above is first pure...

My prayer is that everything written on this blog is now (or will ultimately become thru editing), completely true to God and His word so that through it everyone that reads its entries may gain wisdom that it is Scripturally pure.

If this is your first visit here, please start with the first two Archive entries in March 2008 below because these are foundational teachings regarding modern day apostleship. Please also read the 3rd entry for substantiating testimonial evidence of my own apostolic ministry.

All entries beyond these first 3 contain various teachings and testimonies which I feel that God has moved me (in my apostolic role) to bring forth to edify you, my readers. The sum total of all of these entries are the ongoing annals of this anonymous modern day apostle who humbly strives to serve our glorious Lord Jesus Christ because...

Isaiah 61:10 - I delight greatly in the Lord...

Thank you.

Forgiving our Enemies

For Mr. O., Mr. Reid, Ms. Pelosi, Ms. Wasserman-Schultz, etc., as well as all of my other enemies, political and / or otherwise, I find that by letting Jesus love them through me works for me. By myself I just cannot do it! They appear to me to be just too evil for me to love them. He has to be the One who loves them through me.

So He is faithful to begin doing so by showing me that I need to see them as being deceived by Satan, not as acting alone against me and our nation. This thought settles me down and moves me to surrender to Him by repenting of my hatred for them, dying to my own desire to perpetrate some kind of violent, raging revenge upon them and then leaving room for His eventual vengeance (if that is what He ultimately calls for) upon them. Realizing that it is the devil who is actually afflicting me through my enemies frees me to overcome him by obeying Jesus and allowing Him to love his poor, deceived human pawns through me.

A wonderful thing then happens. I am no longer controlled by the devil's evils being perpetrated upon me through them! All I have to do is to focus my attention off of them and onto Jesus Himself to be free of Satan's grasp. When I focus upon Jesus and then think of their misdeeds against me and our nation, Jesus shows me that it is actually Satan working through them to hurt us. So then I can no longer be tricked into bitterness towards them by Satan jumping from them into my mind to deceptively frustrate me into feeling powerless to stop them and their evils. Instead I am empowered by and through Jesus to see the devil at work in them and then to imitate Him by humbly praying for them, just as He did, "Father forgive them, they know not what they do."

The realization that Jesus gives me that my enemies have been deceived by Satan into traversing the slippery path of sinning against God and me and our nation (which will only end them up in the terrors of hell if they do not repent of their evils and turn to Jesus for their salvation), now motivates me to be forgiving and loving towards them.

I am one who (like Jesus) desires to see no one to end up in hell (including myself for harboring unforgiveness!). So this forgiving prayer acts to keep my own salvation secure while empowering me to be spiritually victorious over the devil! It gives me the upper hand on both the devil and on my human enemies because now I have called upon Almighty God's power, not my own ungodly, human rage to deal with all of them.

His power is what I want to see come forth to correct these enemies of mine and of our nation and to free them from Satan's grasp upon them. I do not want to destroy them in hell and the lake of fire along with the devils they are harboring! So I can be no longer frustrated and enraged by my own sense of  powerlessness about the evils that they have done to me and our nation because I see that frustration and rage for just what it is, more deceptions from Satan trying to capture me just as he has captured them!

Satan is the spiritual enticer, the deceiver and the accuser of all of us, so it is he who is actually behind all of their evils against me and America. Knowing this I am easily able to forgive them and let Jesus love them through me.

The method of instruction utilized here.

Here, you will learn the wonderful truths regarding each entry's subject with which I feel that God has rewarded me over the years.

Hebrews 11:6b - ...He rewards those who DILIGENTLY seek Him!

I believe that the truths found within each of these Biblical teachings have been given to me by God as gifts for seeking Him with all of my heart.

Jeremiah 29:13 - You will seek Me and you will find Me when you seek Me with all of your heart.

I also believe that these truths have been accompanied by all of the supernatural substantiations from Him to which I here testify. These teachings and testimonies will not be found anywhere else that I know of.

Psalm 119:99 - I have better understandings and deeper insights than all of my teachers because Your testimonies are my meditation.

However, whenever I am led by God to encounter a really good Internet teaching which has been authored by another(that fits within the context of one of my own teachings), I will inform you of it and I will provide you with a link to it. It is not important to me if any of the information here that God wants to be shared with you is authored by me or by someone else. What is important to me is that you be given true teachings of God and His Word, no matter whom He uses to bring them forth.

All of these doctrinal studies are being compiled here just as I believe that God says in His Word that they are to be compiled.

Isaiah 28:9 - 10a - ...to whom shall He teach knowledge? And whom shall He make to understand doctrine?

... For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept...

I believe that God's Word in context is the first thing that is to be presented about each subject that is discussed. Next, I believe that freedom of the Word is also to be employed in any doctrinal study.

Isaiah 29:10b - ...line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little

This is where the Holy Spirit moves to give us inspiration from various Scriptures and/or their principles from all over the Bible (and in many different translations) regarding each subject. Here a little, there a little Scriptural precept plucking is a precedent set by the Holy Spirit in the Word where He often inspired the men who wrote the New Testament to so pull and quote Scriptures from the Old Testament.

These holy men were moved to utilize all or parts of many Old Testament passages and verses (some completely out of context and/or seemingly totally unrelated) in their pastoral letters to Scripturally substantiate the things that they taught. They also did this frequently within the 4 gospel accounts of the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ and within the book of Acts. The original apostles truly had freedom in the Word!

Whenever I have actually experienced for myself manifestations of the truth of any of these doctrines, my personal testimonies of those happenings are employed by me here to illustrate and / or to further substantiate them. When others have experienced them and told me about their experiences, I utilize their testimonies. Either way, these testimonies all contribute immensely to the truth and hopefully they will contribute to the acceptance of each teaching.
