Apostles’ foundation
Are you a member?
Built on the foundation of the Apostles’ and Prophets
The Apostles and the prophets were the leaders in how to receive from God by faith.
Each person is a temple of God, if God dwells there.
1 Corinthians 3:16 Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?
17 If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.
The way to get God to dwell in you is to pattern you after the Apostles and Prophets: They receive directly from God; never second hand. First hand brings you immediately to reality. Second hand always leaves you in doubt.
The only way to receive first hand is to be filled according to these Scriptures
Acts 2:1 And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place.
2 And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.
3 And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them.
4 And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues,
(as the Spirit gave them utterance.)
Acts 10:44 ¶While Peter yet spake these words, the Holy Ghost (fell on all them which heard the word.)
45 And they of the circumcision which believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because that on the Gentiles also was poured out the gift of the Holy Ghost.
46 For they heard them speak with tongues, and magnify God.
Acts 11:15 And as I began to speak,( the Holy Ghost fell on them, as on us at the beginning.)
This must be duplicated by each individual for the Baptism of the Holy Ghost (Spirit of Truth) to be valid in you.
Acts 19:6 And when Paul had laid his hands upon them, the Holy Ghost came on them; and they spake with tongues, and prophesied.
7 And all the men were about twelve.
Isaiah 28:11 For with stammering lips and another tongue (will he speak to this people.)
12To whom he said, This is the rest wherewith ye may cause the weary to rest; and this is the refreshing: yet they would not hear.
When filled with the Holy Ghost God speaks through the individual in tongues as stated here – confirmed in
1 Corinthians 14:21 In the law it is written, With men of other tongues and other lips (will I speak unto this people;) and yet for all that will they not hear me, saith the Lord.
22Wherefore tongues are for a sign, not to them that believe, but to them that believe not: but prophesying serveth not for them that believe not, but for them which believe.
All individual are unbelievers until they experience first hand. - Second hand always leaves doubt. When a person’s eternal life is at stake should there be any doubt???
Establish in faith not in Church tradition
The next thing for you to be sure of and that is to be established in the faith, read it- Acts 16:5 And so were the churches established in the faith, and increased in number daily.
Jude 1:3 Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints.
Galatians 3:24 Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith.
25 But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster.
26 For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.
Acts 15:9 And put no difference between us and them, (purifying their hearts by faith.)
This purification took place by receiving unseen answers when you hunger and thirst or craves for God’s Answers that are not seen. When this takes in you, we are beginning to be established in receiving spiritual answers first hand from God.
Romans 1:17 For therein is the (righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith) as it is written, (The just shall live by faith.)
According to this it’s not by reading the Bible which is second hand given to another; which could be of God, but by you receiving first hand when you hunger for it from God. Hebrews the 11th chapter gives you demonstrations of those that lived by faith. Study this chapter until God opens it up to you. Note! This is important and the only way to receive from God.
All Children in the world come to reality through the growth state experiencing first hand: This is God’s way of explaining it to you. The nature is the measure stick to measure all matters from God. Read it! Romans 1:20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: (Godhead – Ruling power for all his standards for the earth)
What did they do when they had no Bibles? Only in the 15th century did Bibles exist for the common man. The answer is simple: (The just lived by faith.) Who were these people that turn God on?
Psalms 34:18 The LORD is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit.
19
Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the LORD delivereth him out of them all.
Isaiah 57:15 For thus saith the high and lofty One that inhabiteth eternity, whose name is Holy; I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones.
Isaiah 66:2 For all those things hath mine hand made, and all those things have been, saith the LORD: but to this man will I look, even to him that is poor and of a contrite spirit, and trembleth at my word.
The question that concerns all of us is What order are we in that keeps these Scriptures hidden from us and not only that but how many more has been hidden???
If we begin with the faith of the mustered seed, which is the small seed it will grow to push out all darkness and we will become as we were created in the beginning: lighted beings.
To ensure that you have the Spirit of God: You have to let the Spirit speak that He fills you with, speak through you. This is the only initial individual assurance you have. When this takes place; you are ready to begin to feed on the milk and meat of the word as any Child in the natural Jesus stated it in John 6:57-58. Ephesians 2:20-22
The question to ask you: Do I really have the Holy Ghost, the Spirit of truth so that the Spirit can teach me the ultimate instruction to be restored back to God- His perfect will?
Then ask yourself again: Has the Spirit spoke through my body as the scriptures record it in the beginning? If your answer is yes; then you are beginning to be built on the foundation of the Apostles and prophets
