In keeping with our theme of Christ the anointing, Now being proclaimed to all peoples since the day of its first reformation and mankind's transformation this seen in Acts 2 and thereafter. I am to look at its being "enjoined" to all who follow to those of each new generation. Why did the first disciples work the wonders of GOD as Jesus instructed them, while today's do not see that done except in lands of extreme darkness. As proof of the presence of the kingdom proclaimed and that of the anointing there active in them to heal. Now this is not so much so in America because of the spirit of delusion spoken of in 2Thessalonians 2:1-12, which we have covered.
Enjoined, by Go Preach,
Matthew 10:7 of 2-4, 5-15; 10:27 of 24-25, 26-31 "The names of the twelve apostles are these: first, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother; James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother; Philip and Bartholomew; Thomas and Matthew the tax collector; James the son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus; Simon the Zealot, and Judas Iscariot, who betrayed Jesus.
These twelve Jesus sent out, instructing them, 'Go nowhere among the Gentiles and enter no town of the Samaritans, but go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. And proclaim as you go, saying, 'The kingdom of heaven is at hand.' Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse lepers, cast out demons. You received without paying; give without pay. Acquire no gold or silver or copper for your belts, no bag for your journey, or two tunics or sandals or a staff, for the laborer deserves his food. And whatever town or village you enter, find out who is worthy in it and stay there until you depart. As you enter the house, greet it. And if the house is worthy, let your peace come upon it, but if it is not worthy, let your peace return to you. And if anyone will not receive you or listen to your words, shake off the dust from your feet when you leave that house or town. Truly, I say to you, it will be more bearable on the day of judgment for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah than for that town.'"
Mat 10:27 of 24-25, 26-31, 32-33 (Jesus is speaking) "'A disciple (student) is not above his teacher, nor a servant above his master. It is enough for the disciple to be like his teacher, and the servant like his master. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebul, how much more will they malign those of his household.
Therefore have no fear of them, for nothing is covered that will not be revealed, or hidden that will not be known. What I tell you in the dark, say in the light, and what you hear whispered, proclaim on the housetops. And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather fear Him Who can destroy both soul and body in hell. Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? And not one of them will fall to the ground apart from your Father. But even the hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not, therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows.
So everyone who acknowledges Me before men, I also will acknowledge before My Father Who is in heaven, but whoever denies Me before men, I also will deny before My Father Who is in heaven.'"
Mark 16:15 of 14-18 "Afterward HE appeared to the eleven themselves as they were reclining at table, and HE rebuked them for their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they had not believed those who saw Him after HE had risen. Then Jesus said to them, 'Go into all the world and proclaim the gospel to the whole of creation. Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved*, but whoever does not believe will be condemned. And these signs will accompany those who believe: in my name they will cast out demons; they will speak in new tongues; they will pick up serpents with their hands; and if they drink any deadly poison, it will not hurt them; they will lay their hands on the sick, and they will recover.'" (* Jesus here qualifies this baptism by the words "will be saved," the baptism that saves is that of the Holy Spirit because HE seals and anoints as well as circumcises the heart at the moment of His entering us. And of course many will argue this point as they place more value in the waters of repentance as their stock and trade.)
Luke 9:2 of 1-6; 60 of 57-62 "Jesus called the twelve together and gave 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 free from error of sin's hold). 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."
Luke 9:60 of 57-62 "As they were going along the road, someone said to Jesus, "I will follow you wherever you go." To this Jesus said to him, 'Foxes have holes, and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay His head.' To another He said, 'Follow me.' But he said, "Lord, let me first go and bury my father." To this Jesus said to him, 'Leave the dead to bury their own dead. But as for you, go and proclaim the kingdom of GOD.' Yet another said, "I will follow you, Lord, but let me first say farewell to those at my home." And again Jesus said to him, 'No one who puts his hand to the plow and looks back is fit for the kingdom of GOD.'"
Acts 5:20 of 16, 17-26 "The people also gathered from the towns around Jerusalem, bringing the sick and those afflicted with unclean spirits, and they were all healed.
But the high priest rose up, and all who were with him (that is, the party of the Sadducees), and filled with jealousy they arrested the apostles and put them in the public prison. But during the night an angel of the LORD opened the prison doors and brought them out, and said, "Go and stand in the temple and speak to the people all the words of this Life." And when they heard this, they entered the temple at daybreak and began to teach. Now when the high priest came, and those who were with him, they called together the council, all the senate of the people of Israel, and sent to the prison to have them brought out. But when the officers came, they did not find them in the prison, so they returned and reported, "We found the prison securely locked and the guards standing at the doors, but when we opened them we found no one inside." Now when the captain of the temple and the chief priests heard these words, they were greatly perplexed about them, wondering what this would come to. And someone came and told them, "Look! The men whom you put in prison are standing in the temple and teaching the people." Then the captain with the officers went and brought them, but not by force, for they were afraid of being stoned by the people."
2Timothy 4:2 of 1-5 "I charge you in the presence of GOD and of Christ Jesus, Who is to judge the living and the dead, and by His appearing and His kingdom: preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and exhort, with complete patience and teaching. For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves (religious) teachers to suit their own passions, and will turn away from listening to the truth and wander off into myths. As for you, always be sober-minded, endure suffering, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry." (I know that I have stated this before but it bears repeating, this is and was my call back in the Autumn of 1971, after my return from Southeast Asia. This I must admit I did not perceive of until after receiving the baptism of the Holy Spirit and then sometime later, His opening of my ears and clearing of my eyes for understanding, during 2007.)
