THE MENTIONED ABOVE…THE MINISTRY STYLE .”MOST OF THEM PROFESSING TO BE “OFFICE PROPHETS” ARE NOT. OTHERWISE THEY WOULD KNOW I AM NOT TO BE FAR OFF “PERCEIVED” as the DEEP SCAN USUAL “QUEEN J”and/or “here comes ANOTHER charismatic “W”** (** AS ALL this big WESTERN EUROPEAN CENTRIC movement repeated NEGATIVE STEREOTYPE**) (YET.. that must ALSO mean that even TOO MANY OTHERS WHO ALSO INCORRECTLY “ASSESSED..NEVER SPOKEN TO OR VALUED.) and thus ARE FALSE ACCUSED,TOO!) AND Finally, after 25 years of studying the WELP caucasian biased many QUALITY subgroups. I have now concluded that these must MOVE IN THE “DISCERNING OF TYPECASTS” That is all I can figure out..
HENCE the APOSTOLIC TEAMMATE U “accuser doctrine defrag’s and (the deliverance teaching ) “THE WELP STUDIES”
(REASON)…Because ….”In their hearts they KNOW they’re RIGHT!”

A LIGHT FULL CHAPTER 4 OVERVIEW.. OUTLINE..BUT MAKES THE POINT.
THE RULES, THE CRUX, LIVING THE LIFESTYLE
TO HAVE A CHRISTIAN MULTICULTURAL PEACEABLE RESPECTING
ONGOING “TRUE COMMUNITY“
4 I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called,
2 With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love;
3 Endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.
CHAPTER 4:1-3 ABIDING RELATIONSHIPS, Leader, Minister, Christ following lay, family, business, diverse COMMUNITY examined:
-
VERSE 1 WE NOTE the Apostle Paul’s...less than grandiose, non elite, servant leader, trusting, even though confined, still powerful seated “in heavenly places” Ephesians 1… (it’s his hopeful ,encouraging, HEAVENLY ETERNAL PERSPECTIVE)
-
VERSE 1: Paul gives a charge to each member in Christ’s body, ministry body,all races, personalities, many Christian differing voices, opinions..for a general common Equal Opportunity humility. It implies Paul telling each one to SELF GOVERN, SELF MONITOR in order to keep their own personal ongoing SELF CONTROL.
-
VERSE 2: Paul describes the TRUE RELATIONSHIP FRUIT..which is CHARACTER which PREFERS OTHERS BEFORE ONE’S OWN SELF, IT will require that each born again Christ follower will need to “intentionally CHOOSE to do so and Paul states it will mean intentional “putting up with many other human personalities shortcomings, pit falls, personalities and carnal, spiritual, chief errors, mistakes and poor discipline, their ornery human WAYS.
-
VERSE 3: The USE OF THE WORD “ENDEAVORING” implies that while it sounds ideal ….that every one will be walking meekly, getting along in perfect community peace and “accepting real LOVE” ..it appears that the Apostle realizes that it will NOT be easy, often it won’t be ‘FUN” and it will require that each PERSON CHOOSE to “work on themselves” and to also “UNCONDITIONALLY” choose to try to FORGIVE.
-
AS WELL AS TO commit to EQUALLY RESPECT and (Ephesians 5:21 “mutually submit to in the fear of the Lord”..it will be EACH CHRISTIAN “falling off the proverbial horse and UNCONDITIONALLY Getting right back on to TRY TO “preserve all the RELATIONSHIPS” in family, fellowship, Christian community ..with the HELP of Book of Acts 5:22-23 (fruits on the Spirit: which include LOVE, JOY , PEACE, PATIENCE, GOODNESS, MEEKNESS and …… SELF CONTROL)
-
AS I stated before in many other trainings..I submit a CHRISTIAN MINISTRY STANDARD for “assessing” and “gauging” “determining” HEALTHY, EORR DIVERSE, SAFE, BIBLE “RELATIONSHIPS” (in family, ministry, staff, youth, fellowship, COMMUNITY) ..
-
which with the Divine HELP of God in the Galatians 5:22-23 “FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT” will then give GOD’S HUMAN PEOPLE more of an ability to “HERO ROLE MODEL THE WISDOM FROM ABOVE” which JAMES 3:17 describes as “pure, peaceable, easily entreated, full of mercy and good fruits (GAL 5:22-23) without partiality (EORR) and without hypocrisy”
SECTION VERSES 4-7 THE APOSTLE PAUL DESCRIBES THE BIBLE CORE BELIEFS
1. WHICH DETERMINE WHO IS A TRUE CHRISTIAN OR IS NOT
-
WHICH POINTS NEED FOR THERE TO BE NO OLD TESTAMENT LEVITICAL LAW..as it bears repeated ACCUSATION, FAULT FINDING, PHARISEE OTHER’S BUSINESS MINDING and MINISTRY, LAY SUPERIOR ALL WISE SELF RIGHTEOUS (JOB 41 LEVIATHAN) IMPURE PRIDE
NOTE: I will explain EPHESIANS 4 COMMON DOCTRINES in the next article on EPHESIANS 4 COMMUNITY
4 There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling;
5 One Lord, one faith, one baptism,
6 One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.
7 But unto every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ.
“RESPECT THEM..OR THEY’LL (INNER) KNOW IT”
(JUST NOW…Very MANY People are being very MEAN “DISRESPECTED, MANY PRIOR TIMES HAVE BEEN UNJUSTLY DEEPLY PREJUDICED AGAINST, MANY VIOLATED, REPEATEDLY ABUSED”and meaning ALL OVER…So that by the time they MEET the “Self righteous” MIGHTY YOU..they will have their WATCHING, PERSONAL, DEFENSIVE.. DISCERNER PERCEIVER’S ANTENNAE..FINELY TUNED..and RAISED HIGH UP!”
CONVERSELY.. “LIKE JESUS CHRIST…..BE “EQUAL OPPORTUNITY TRULY
“RESPECT” THEM ….AND THEY’LL “KNOW” IT!
TCL “Be at Home with Leader EORR”
EPHESIANS 4:8-9
APOSTLE PAUL GIVES THE NEWLY BORN AGAIN CHURCH.. A WIDE, HOLY, ETERNAL PERSPECTIVE
8 Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men.
9 (Now that he ascended, what is it but that he also descended first into the lower parts of the earth?
10 He that descended is the same also that ascended up far above all heavens, that he might fill all things.)
EPHESIANS 4:11-13 APOSTLE PAUL TRAINS ON THE 5 FOLD MINISTRY OFFICES, GIVES THEIR “COMMON UNIFIED ONE PURPOSE, TRAINING GOAL”
WE NOTE: APOSTLE PAUL MENTORS THE DIVERSE CHURCH as a COLLABORATING COMMUNITY..WITH AN ONGOING TEAM PERSPECTIVE, not individual ME CENTERED, OUR FOUR BUT NO MORE, TURF PROTECTING, LEGALISTICALLY ALL GOD’S PEOPLE WATCHING…SR MINISTERS KEEPING TABS ON ALL…as it is common EVERYWHERE today
VERSES 11-13 I SUBMIT THAT THE MOST IMPORTANT THINGS
1.Paul uses lower case letters in each OFFICE …denoting ‘servant leader” not elite, local celebrity.
2.He describes the PURPOSE for the OFFICES…which is FOR THE ENTIRE COMMUNITY..not for personal achievement, being world wide famous or having many staff, perks and lavish possessions.
3.VERSE 13 to me is the MOST EXPLANATORY and gives the REAL REASON for ALL OF THE OFFICES and For the PURPOSE OF THE LEADERSHIP TRAINING
4.NOTE VERSE 13 is NOT ONE MINISTER OR GROUP WORKING TO ACHIEVE, TO HAVE POWER OVER ANY OTHER, BUT IT’S ABOUT “TEAMM WORK” AND HUMBLE , GOD DIRECTED “DIVINE APPOINTMENT” NETWORKING ..BIG DIVERSE COLLABORATION..(which raises up ONLY the NAME OF CHRIST not one group or one person)
(WE FIND NO “I AM FOR APOLLOS, I AM FOR APOSTLE PAUL as Paul counsels against in I Corinthians 1 and 3)
11 And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;
12 For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:
13 Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:
STAND OUT VERSE 14: (see below) with the COMBINED TRAINING ….
VERSES 1-3..EVERY ONE.. “Humbly walking it out with the OVERALL PURPOSE to PLEASE THE LORD and to MAINTAIN “Unified Community” which are “big concerted all out efforts to keep, maintain ONGOING “fruit filled” peaceful RELATIONSHIPS..
ADD THIS TO VERSES 4-7..AND with the KNOWLEDGE OF COMMON DOCTRINES which rules out all ACCUSATION, PHARISEE FAR OFF SIN SPYING, CUTS BACK ON OFFICE , LAY TALE BEARING and superior PRIDE ..
…..and with EACH ONE in COMMON TRAINING PURPOSE, ON THE SAME PAGE…then APOSTLE PAUL MENTORS that (below) THE CHRISTIAN COMMUNITY will be TRANSFORMED to be a LIVING WITNESS…to NON BELIEVERS!
NEXT VERSES 8-9
“THE CHURCH MAINTAINS ..KEEPS A HIGHER ETERNAL ONGOING PERSPECTIVE which is above “TEMPORAL POSSESSIONS” “PASSING FADS AND FANCES” “THE LUST OF ALL THINGS, PRIDE OF LIFE, MINISTRY MERCENARY /LAY DEMAS..”
VERSES 11-13
“LEVEL MINISTRY COOPERATING MATURE MINISTRY LEADERSHIP…each humbly GOD FIRST LOVE SEEKING, not (earthly, carnal, might be mammon chasing impure) “ELEVATED ELITE CELEBRITY”
THUS..IF the CHURCH, LEADERS, 5 FOLD OFFICES understand and want to each be SUBMITTED to the EPHESIANS 4: 1-13..and IF, as they TRAIN GOD’S COMMUNITY..to do the same..then VERSE 14 will TRANSFORM THE COMMUNITY INTO A FRAGRANT LVING WITNESS (THE TRUE CHURCH, THE BRIDE OF CHRIST…THE PHILADELPHIAN LOVE WALK TRUE REMNANT CHURCH)
14 That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive;
ALSO IT WILL SPILL OVER INTO THE FOLLOWING:
15 But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ:
16 From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love.
THE LAST PART OF THIS BIG CHAPTER 4 IS VERY LONG
…BUT IT INVOLVES “RELATIONSHIPS”
I will not expound upon it now, for it is a long enough article. BUT I encourage the READER to evaluate the TRAINING via the EYES OF “ALL RELATIONSHIPS” mentioned directly below:
APOSTLE PAUL CLOSES..WITH A WARNING..TO THE
CHURCH (a RELATIONSHIP WARNING??)
17 This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye henceforth walk not as other Gentiles walk, in the vanity of their mind,
18 Having the understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart:
19 Who being past feeling have given themselves over unto lasciviousness, to work all uncleanness with greediness.
20 But ye have not so learned Christ;
ALL OF THIS EFFECTS “RELATIONSHIPS”
(family, fellowship, men and women, area business) but also THE CHRISTIAN CORPORATE EYE WITNESS
21 If so be that ye have heard him, and have been taught by him, as the truth is in Jesus:
22 That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts;
23 And be renewed in the spirit of your mind;
24 And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.
MANY RELATIONSHIPS MENTIONED:
25 Wherefore putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbour: for we are members one of another.
26 Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath:
27 Neither give place to the devil.
28 Let him that stole steal no more: but rather let him labour, working with his hands the thing which is good, that he may have to give to him that needeth.
29 Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers.
THE FIRST LOVE “RELATIONSHIP”
PERSONAL INTIMATE FIRST LOVE (OR NOT) RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD’S HOLY SPIRIT:(Submitting…that we can GRIEVE HOLY SPIRIT when we dishonor demean disrespect, devalue, harm or bias against ANOTHER HUMAN who is made in God’s image)
30 And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.
31 Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice:
MEN, WOMEN, LEADER, LAY, ALL MINISTRY SIZES, STYLES OF CHRISTIAN BODY OFFICES
32 And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ’s sake hath forgiven you.
