DISCERNING THE SENT ONES
Abraham
Genesis 12:1 The Lord had said to Abram, “Go from your country, your people and your father’s household to the land I will show you.
Moses
Exodus 3:13 Then Moses said to God, “Indeed, when I come to the children of Israel and say to them, ‘The God of your fathers has sent me to you,’ and they say to me, ‘What is His name?’ what shall I say to them?”
Joshua
Joshua 1:2 2 “Moses My servant is dead. Now therefore, arise, go over this Jordan, you and all this people, to the land which I am giving to them—the children of Israel.
Isaiah
Isaiah 6:8-9 Then I said, “Here am I! Send me.” 9 And He said, “Go, and tell this people.
Jeremiah
Jeremiah 1:7 7 But the LORD said to me: “Do not say, ‘I am a youth,’ For you shall go to all to whom I send you, And whatever I command you, you shall speak.
Gideon
Judges 6:14 Then the LORD turned to him and said, “Go in this might of yours, and you shall save Israel from the hand of the Midianites. Have I not sent you?”
Ezekiel
Ezekiel 2:3 And He said to me: “Son of man, I am sending you to the children of Israel, to a rebellious nation that has rebelled against Me; they and their fathers have transgressed against Me to this very day.
JESUS
Matthew 10:40 “He who receives you receives Me, and he who receives Me receives Him who sent Me.
Apostles
Matthew 10:1 Jesus called his twelve disciples/apostles to him and gave them authority to drive out impure spirits and to heal every disease and sickness.
Discipels
Luke 10:1 The Lord now chose seventy-two other disciples and sent them ahead in pairs to all the towns and places he planned to visit.
Apostle Paul
Galatians 1:1 Paul, an apostle (not sent from men nor through man, but through Jesus Christ and God the Father who raised Him from the dead),
Angels
Mark 13:27 And then He will send His angels, and gather together His elect from the four winds, from the farthest part of earth to the farthest part of heaven.
We learn also:
1. The Father has sent His Son Jesus (Matthew 10:40).
2. The Father/Jesus has sent His Holy Spirit (John 14:26 But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name)
3. The Holy Spirit has sent Apostle Paul and Barnabas (Acts13:4 So, being sent out by the Holy Spirit, they went down to Seleucia, and from there they sailed to Cyprus).
* Apostolic in Hebrew - H7971 - shaw-lakh - to send
The Hebrew verb of ‘shaw-lakh’ is shalach which means: to send, send messenger, send weapon, to release, to go forth, shoot forth branches, stretch out.
Examples:
Numbers 13:2 Send for yourself men to spy out the land of Canaan, which I am giving to the people of Israel.
Psalms 20:2 May he send you help from the sanctuary and give you support from Zion!
Psalms 43:3 Send out your light and your truth; let them lead me.
Psalms 105:26 He sent Moses, his servant, and Aaron, whom he had chosen.
* Apostle - G652 - apostolos - one sent on a mission, a messenger, envoy, delegate, one commissioned by another to represent him in some way, especially a man sent out by Jesus Christ Himself to preach the Gospel.
* Prophet - G4396 - prophétés - declares the mind (message) of God, a messenger, which sometimes predicts the future (foretelling) – and more commonly, speaks forth His message for a particular situation. Moved by the Holy Spirit to speak, having power to instruct, comfort, encourage, rebuke, convict, and stimulate, their hearers.
They are gifts from GOD. 1 Corinthians 12: 28 And God has appointed these in the church: first apostles, second prophets, third teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, administrations, varieties of tongues.
Analysing the above we learn that Apostles and Prophets are sent ones from GOD.
They all had a mission like to gain territory, to restore, to rebuilt, to address sin, to call forth the plan of GOD.
Let us go deeper!
The Church is built on Jesus Christ, the Cornerstone and the Apostles and the Prophets. (Ephesians 2:20)
Heavenly secrets are revealed to the Apostles and Prophets. (Ephesians 3:5)
Nations with regards to the Body of Christ are built, I repeat built, on the foundation of Jesus Christ, Apostles and Prophets.
A Nation is NOT built on Pastors, Teachers, Evangelists or whatsoever.
If there is injustice, corruption, violence etc. in a nation then the Apostles and Prophets sent by GOD have to come together and seek GOD's face for the appropriate directions. Most of the time GOD has revealed directions before even asked for! Called the love of God.
The Body of Christ need to acknowledge the ‘sent ones’ to be correctly positioned for regional and national victory.
For the sake of the lost.
Imagine, an army goes to war without the proper officers, like generals, captains etc. War will end without victory.
Once the ‘sent ones’ are united, the mandates need to be identified and strategically positioned.
Than, and only than you prepare for national 'spiritual war'! And when the ‘send ones’ work together in unity, GOD commands a blessing: Life for evermore! (Psalm 133)
A whole nation can loose her heavenly destiny if the ‘send one’s’ do not work in unity with their unique God given mandates.
It is than just an army without the proper Delegations of Authority, without the Power of Attorney. Are we learning something ?
Without the appropriate Power of Attorney spiritual war can not be won and has 2 bad fruits: 1. Souls will not get saved. 2. The nation looses her heavenly destiny. And that too has severe consequences in particular when a nation has an apostolic or a prophetic destiny. A lion nation or an eagle nation.
Let us take the nation for the sake of the lost!
Let us prepare for 'spiritual war' as there is still some time left!
