Over the course of the next few days, the LORD willing, I intend to look at what is our calling after our personal sanctification of the Anointing of GOD by His Holy Spirit. The true work of "good works." For this begins with our call to proclaim "CHRIST" to the world, not some institutional jargon of retrospect, a looking at the past as being correct for today, as many do these days. For Christ is the forever NOW I AM GOD, the AMEN.
Ministers Work, the Preaching of Christ,
Matthew 3:1 of 1-6 "In those days John the Baptist came preaching in the wilderness of Judea, "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand." For this is he who was spoken of by the prophet Isaiah (in 40:3) when he said, "The voice of one crying in the wilderness: 'Prepare the way of the LORDS Immanuel [GOD with Us]; make His paths straight.'" (John 1:23) Now John wore a garment of camel's hair and a leather belt around his waist, and his food was locusts and wild honey. Then Jerusalem and all Judea and all the region about the Jordan were going out to him, and they were baptized by him in the river Jordan, confessing their sins."
Matthew 9:35 "Jesus went throughout all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues and proclaiming the gospel of the kingdom and healing every disease and every affliction."
Mark 16:20 of 19-20 "So then the Lord Jesus, after He had spoken to them, was taken up into heaven and sat down at the right hand of GOD. And they went out and preached everywhere, while the LORD worked with them and confirmed the message by accompanying signs. [For they promptly reported all these instructions to Peter and his companions. And after that, Jesus Himself sent out through them from east to west the sacred and imperishable proclamation of eternal salvation.(this usually begins at verse 8 through the end of this chapter)]
Luke 9:6 of 1-6 "Jesus called the twelve together and gave (breathed on) them power and authority over all demons and to cure diseases, and He sent them out to proclaim the kingdom of GOD and to heal (to make whole, to restore). And He said to them, 'Take nothing for your journey, no staff, nor bag, nor bread, nor money; and do not have two tunics. And whatever house you enter, stay there, and from there depart. And wherever they do not receive you, when you leave that town shake off the dust from your feet as a testimony against them.' And they departed and went through the villages, preaching the gospel and healing everywhere."
Acts 28:31 of 23-28, 30-31 "When they had appointed a day for Paul, they came to him at his lodging in greater numbers. From morning till evening he expounded to them, testifying to the kingdom of GOD and trying to convince them about Jesus both from the Law of Moses and from the Prophets. And some were convinced by what he said, but others disbelieved. And disagreeing among themselves, they departed after Paul had made one statement: "The Holy Spirit was right in saying to your fathers through Isaiah the prophet (in 6:9-10): "'Go to this people, and say, "You will indeed hear but never understand, and you will indeed see but never perceive." For this people's heart has grown dull, and with their ears they can barely hear, and their eyes they have closed; lest they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears and understand with their heart and turn, and I would heal them.' (Psalm 98:3) Therefore let it be known to you that this salvation of GOD has been sent to the Gentiles; they will listen.'"
He lived there two whole years at his own expense, and welcomed all who came to him, proclaiming the kingdom of GOD and teaching about the Lordship of Jesus the Christ (the anointing of) with all boldness and without hindrance."
Ephesians 2:17 of 11-22 "Therefore (what he stated in verses 1-10 above) remember that at one time you Gentiles in the flesh, called "the uncircumcision" by what is called the circumcision (the Jews), which is made in the flesh by hands—remember that you were at that time separated from Christ, alienated from the commonwealth of Israel and strangers to the covenants of promise, having no hope and without GOD in the world. But now in Christ (GODs anointing rests within you as He did in) Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ. For HE Himself is our peace, Who has made us both one and has broken down in His flesh the dividing wall of hostility by abolishing the (Mosaic) Law of commandments expressed in ordinances, that HE might create in Himself one new man in place of the two, so making peace, and might reconcile us both to GOD in one body through the cross, thereby killing (the) our former hostility. And HE came and preached peace to you who were far off and peace to those who were near. For through Him we both have access in one Spirit to the Father. So then you are no longer strangers and aliens, for now you are fellow citizens and saints and members of the household of GOD, built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus Himself being the chief cornerstone, in Whom the whole structure, being joined together, grows into a holy temple in the LORD. By Him you also are being built together into a dwelling place for GOD by the Spirit."
1Peter 3:19 of 13-4:6 of 1-6 "Now who is there to harm you if you are zealous for what is good? For even if you should suffer for righteousness' sake, you will be blessed. Have no fear of them, nor be troubled, but in your hearts honor Christ the LORD as Holy, always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you; yet do it with gentleness and respect, having a good conscience, so that, when you are slandered, those who revile your good behavior in Christ may be put to shame. For it is better to suffer for doing good, if that should be GOD's will, than for doing evil. For Christ also suffered once for sins, the righteous for the unrighteous, that HE might bring us to GOD, being put to death in the flesh but made alive in the spirit [by His Spirit], in which HE went and proclaimed to the spirits in prison (Matthew 27:51-54 and witnessed in Paul's letters), because they formerly did not obey, when GOD's patience waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was being prepared, in which a few, that is, eight persons, were brought safely through water. Baptism, which corresponds to this, now saves you, not as a removal of dirt from the body but as an appeal to God for a good conscience, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ, Who has gone into heaven and is at the right hand of GOD, with angels, authorities, and powers having been subjected to Him.
Since therefore Christ suffered in the flesh (as Jesus), arm yourselves with the same way of thinking, for whoever has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin, so as to live for the rest of the time in the flesh no longer for human passions but for the will (plan and purpose) of GOD. For the time that is past suffices for doing what the Gentiles want to do, living in sensuality, passions, drunkenness, orgies, drinking parties, and lawless idolatry. With respect to this they are surprised when you do not join them in the same flood of debauchery, and they malign you; but they will give account to Him Who is ready to judge the living and the dead. For this is why the gospel was preached even to those who are dead, that though judged in the flesh the way people are, they might live in the spirit the way GOD does."
Revelation 14:6 of 6-7 "Then I saw another angel flying directly overhead, with an eternal gospel to proclaim to those who dwell on earth, to every nation and tribe and language and people. And he said with a loud voice, "Fear (with great freight and alarm) GOD and give Him glory, because the hour of his judgment has come, and worship Him Who made heaven and earth, the sea and the springs of water."
