Chosen But Not Perfect – Pt 11

Posted: July 6, 2019 in 12 Disciples - Chosen But Not Perfect
Tags: Jesus' 12 Disciples, Judas Iscariot, Judas the disciple, Judas the Traitor

This is the last of the teachings of the Twelve Disciples of Jesus Christ. This is the saddest of the 12, known as ‘the Traitor’ and “the most colossal failure in history“. Judas Iscariot.

We all face choices every day, choices that lead to life or death. Judas was close to Jesus, but squandered every opportunity and lesson that was handed to him. It is possible to be near to Jesus, but far away from salvation. The soldiers at the cross were near to Jesus, but far away from the Blood.

I hope you will learn a lesson by his mistakes and eternal failure.

Chosen But Not Perfect – Pt 10

Posted: July 6, 2019 in 12 Disciples - Chosen But Not Perfect
Tags: Apostle James, James the Disciple, James the Less, Jesus' 12 Apostles, Jesus' 12 Disciples, Simon the Apostle, Simon the Canaanite, Simon the Zealot, Thaddaeus the Disciple

The 12 Disciples were normally in the following order:

Simon (Peter)
Andrew (Peter’s Brother)
James (the greater)
John (James’ Brother)
Philip
Bartholomew (Nathanael)
Thomas (Didymus)
Matthew (Levi)
James (the less)
Thaddaeus (Judas)
Simon (the Canaanite)
Judas Iscariot (the traitor)

Today we will cover three disciples. The first is James, the less. It is not known if James was called less because of his size, his age, or social standing. Also I will cover the life and ministry of Thaddaeus, who was also named Judas and the disciple Simon, who was a Zealot.

Chosen But Not Perfect – Pt 9

Tags: Apostle Matthew, Jesus' 12 Apostles, Jesus' 12 Disciples, Matthew aka Levi, Matthew the Disciple, Matthew the Tax Collector

This teaching covers the most hated of the 12, Matthew also called Levi. Once a Jew became a tax collector, they were known as the worst of the worst. But I think you may like Matthew after you get to know him better.

Chosen But Not Perfect – Pt 8

Posted: July 6, 2019 in 12 Disciples - Chosen But Not Perfect
Tags: Bartholomew the Apostle, Doubting Thomas, Jesus' 12 Apostles, Jesus' 12 Disciples, Nathanael the Disciple, Thomas the Apostle, Thomas the Disciple

In this teaching I cover 2 disciples from the second group of four which are less known of the first set of 4, but more known of the last 4. This teaching will cover Bartholomew, also known as Nathanael and Thomas, who is normally known as ‘doubting Thomas’.

Chosen But Not Prefect – Pt 7

Posted: July 6, 2019 in 12 Disciples - Chosen But Not Perfect
Tags: Jesus' 12 Apostles, Jesus' 12 Disciples, Philip the Apostle, Philip the Disciple

This teaching is about Philip. I found more about Philip than I expected and I think you might learn something new about this disciple of the 2nd group, which I call ‘less known’: Philip, Bartholomew, Thomas and Matthew. Philip was the ‘bean counter’ of the group and may have been in charge of logistics, coordinating and arranging meals. He was the one Jesus asked when the 5,000 men needed to be fed and had an immediate answer. He must have been counting instead of listening. Enjoy what I have found about Philip.

Chosen But Not Perfect – Pt 6

Posted: July 6, 2019 in 12 Disciples - Chosen But Not Perfect
Tags: Apostle John, Jesus' 12 Apostles, Jesus' 12 Disciples, John the Disciple

This is one of the ‘most known’ of Jesus’ 12 disciples, John. John wrote the books of the Gospel of John, 1-3 John and the book of Revelation. He is the only disciple of the 12 to die of natural causes. I hope you are enjoying this series of the disciples who were “Chosen, but not Perfect.”

Chosen But Not Perfect Pt 5

Posted: July 6, 2019 in 12 Disciples - Chosen But Not Perfect
Tags: James the Apostle, James the Disciple, Jesus' 12 Apostles, Jesus' 12 Disciples

This is the history of the 3rd of the first group I call the ‘most known’ disciples of Jesus Christ. None of the disciples were qualified, but the were Chosen to carry out the Gospel. It is a shame that almost everyone can recite Santa’s reindeer, but cannot name those called to be the Twelve Apostles. Enjoy the teaching of James.

Chosen But Not Perfect – Pt 4

Posted: July 6, 2019 in 12 Disciples - Chosen But Not Perfect
Tags: 12 Disciples, Andrew Peter's brother, Andrew the Disciple, Apostle Andrew, Jesus' 12 Apostles, Jesus' 12 Disciples

This is part 4 of the teaching of Jesus the Rabbi and the 12 Disciples. There are 3 groups of 4, Most Known, Less Known and Least Known group of four.

This is about the 2nd of the Most Known Group, the Apostle Andrew. The ‘Most Known’ group and Simon (Peter); Andrew (Peter’s Brother); James and John (James’ Brother).

Remember the Sabbath

A few weeks ago I did a teaching on Sabbath Keeping and I want to share this with you now. Sabbath keeping has not been honored in this generation and maybe that is why the Church has not seen many breakthroughs. I have a group of friends who are War Eagles and none of them would not break the Sabbath since they have found incredible power in prayer from this one act of honor. It is not legalism, but a matter of honor.

Shabbat Shabbat Shabbat – All 3 at Sundown Tonight

Tags: Head of the Sacred Calendar, Month of Redemption, Rosh Chosdesh Nisan, Shabbat, Shabbat Shabbat Shabbat, Weekly Sabbath

Shabbat is Sabbath in Hebrew. It is #7676 in the Strong’s Concordance and it is used for Sabbath, Day of Atonement, Sabbath year, and weekly Sabbath. It is to be used for any day that the LORD states is to be holy, land rest, a day of rest, no work. Holy means to set it apart from every other day.

Tonight (April 5, 2019) is very significant! We have 3 Sabbaths tonight.

Weekly Sabbath for the Jews begins at sundown Friday and ends sundown Saturday. If that seems strange to you, go back to Genesis Chapter 1 and see how God orders the night before the day. Also, did you know that was not a command until God gave the 10 Commandments at Mt Sinai?
Monthly Sabbath – called “Rosh Chodesh”, which means “head of the month”. Every beginning of the months they were commanded to rest, give their First Fruits of praise, worship, offering and hear a message from the prophet. Tonight begins the new moon marking the month of Nissan on God’s calendar.
- God actually calls this the “first month” of the year
- In Hebrew it is called Abib or Aviv (Exodus 13:4), meaning the grain is in the ear – marking the barley harvest in Israel
- After they left bondage in Babylon, this month became to be known as Nissan or Nisan, “time of the flight”, following the time of Passover.
- This month is a very “redemptive month“
Yearly Sabbath – This is a New Year that began Exodus Chapter 12:2, “This month shall be your beginning of months; it shall be the first month of the year to you.”
- For 2448 they had been celebrating the New Year in the Fall marking the years from Adam’s creation.
- Now 6 month later they have a New Year to count the month

REJOICE, REJOICE, REJOICE! Find some place to worship, give Him the First Fruits of your Worship and listen to a prophetic voice!!!
