12 Apostle of Jesus

The Apostles are those who know God. Originally, in the body of Christ, there were twelve Apostles who became the foundation of the church. These were the individuals who that knew Jesus personally, his friend who he confided in and knew of their purpose and function in the master plan. These men and women posses the ability to become shaped by the holy spirit and the community of God. Through their attitude of servitude to this plan they allow themselves to become shaped into the image of Christ. Jesus was the original foundation, then the 12,  and this process continues right down until you. Now it's your turn.

You can become an apostle when you venture out into new turf. An apostle is one who goes first and this makes Jesus as one with God first. Gods kingdom starts before time and he created the Cosmos out of emptiness. That makes Him Jesus and the Holy Spirit the ultimate apostles. When you create new realities of hope out of the faith to the Holy Spirit you become an apostle like Jesus. Remember though Jesus was the starting foundation block and your creation should fit with the original purpose. We can't have everyone going around creating wily nilly can we?

First came the apostles and then the church and Gods kingdom awaits us here on Earth. From dust and back to dust and all that will remain is his us standing there holding his kingdom. Amen. This ability to let the Kingdom of God shape them and not the pressures of this day allows them to become foundations on which God can build his Kingdom into eternity. These are the men and women to make foundations for your churches out of. This is the gift that lays the  foundation for all the other gifts to work. For this foundation established by the apostles builds in the Spiritual  by those that have the faith to walk on water.

Look into the character of the next 12 and their ability to withstand adversity:

The first list of the 12 Apostle of Jesus

1. Simon: called Peter (rock) by Jesus was a fisherman from Bethsaida "of Galilee" (John 1:44; cf. 12:21) He is the one that stepped out of the boat out onto the water. He is also denied Jesus three times and then wept when the roster crowed. He was in the thick of things on the Day of Pentecost. He had a special message to minister to the Jews, in Gal 2:8 and authored 2 books of the bible. Later, in the time of Emperor Nero he was reportedly crucified, upside down.

 2. Andrew: brother of Peter, a Bethsaida fisherman and disciple of John the Baptist, and also the First-Called Apostle.  Earlier he had heard John the Baptist speaking (Jn1:40), and took his brother Simon Peter to the “Messiah". The phrase fishers of men was born at this time. Later he would give the name to the St. Andrews cross (X) because of the way he was executed.


 3. James was believed to have been stoned and clubbed to death in Jerusalem after a full life of service to the lord.

 4. John  named by Jesus Boanerges  (meaning "Sons of Thunder")
James Boanerges - He was killed by King Herod, Acts12:2.  He wanted to sit next to Jesus when He became King. Later in life John took care of Mary (John 19:26-27) and wrote Revelations as a prisoner on Patmos.

 5. Philip from Bethsaida "of Galilee" (John 1:44, 12:21) was often leader in the second group. Reportedly suffered died for the cause at Heliopolis, in Phrygia when he was  flogged then crucified.


 6. Bartholomew son of Talemai Bartholomew is little known in the bible but  is indicated in  all four lists of the twelve apostles. There are reports he was tortured and crucified in India.

 7. Thomas translated to twin is best known for saying "Except I see for myself, I won't believe". Thomas the apostle was reportedly killed in India by a spear.
   

 8. James, son of Alphaeus is believed to have been stoned and clubbed to death in Jerusalem.


 9. Matthew the tax collector, some identify with Levi son of Alphaeus
 suspected  author Mathew, and otherwise  known as Levi Mk2:14. He was killed with a tool fitted with an ax head..


10. Simon the Canaanite "Simon the Zealot"  James of Alphaeus - He's possibly a brother of Matthew. Alphaeus translates as "leader or Chief". After a life of travel may have been crucified in what is today United Kingdom.

11. Judas Iscariot  was replaced as an apostle in Acts by Matthias who was stoned, then beheaded at Jerusalem.  Judas Iscariot betrayed Jesus for thirty pieces of silver. He then went out and hanged himself.

12. Jude was the brother of James  and was crucified at Edessa after faithful service

  72. Romans 16:7
      Remember me to Andronicus and Junias, my tribal kinsmen and once my fellow prisoners. They are men held in high esteem among the apostles, who also were in Christ before I was.
 
12 Apostle of Jesus in 1 Corinthians 1:1
      PAUL, SUMMONED by the will and purpose of God to be an apostle (special messenger) of Christ Jesus, and our brother Sosthenes,
     
  74. 1 Corinthians 4:1
      SO THEN, let us [apostles] be looked upon as ministering servants of Christ and stewards (trustees) of the mysteries (the secret purposes) of God.
   
  75. 1 Corinthians 4:9
      For it seems to me that God has made an exhibit of us apostles, exposing us to view last [of all, like men in a triumphal procession who are] sentenced to death [and displayed at the end of the line]. For we have become a spectacle to the world [a show in the world's amphitheater] with both men and angels [as spectators].
    
  12 Apostle of Jesus in1 Corinthians 9:1
      AM I not an apostle (a special messenger)? Am I not free (unrestrained and exempt from any obligation)? Have I not seen Jesus our Lord? Are you [yourselves] not [the product and proof of] my workmanship in the Lord?
   
  77. 1 Corinthians 9:2
      Even if I am not considered an apostle (a special messenger) by others, at least I am one to you; for you are the seal (the certificate, the living evidence) of my apostleship in the Lord [confirming and authenticating it].
  
12 Apostle of Jesus in 1 Corinthians 9:5
      Have we not the right also to take along with us a Christian sister as wife, as do the other apostles and the Lord's brothers and Cephas (Peter)?
    
12 Apostle of Jesus in 1 Corinthians 12:28
      So God has appointed some in the church [ for His own use]: first apostles (special messengers); second prophets (inspired preachers and expounders); third teachers; then wonder-workers; then those with ability to heal the sick; helpers; administrators; [speakers in] different (unknown) tongues.
  
  80. 1 Corinthians 12:29
      Are all apostles (special messengers)? Are all prophets (inspired interpreters of the will and purposes of God)? Are all teachers? Do all have the power of performing miracles?
   
  81. 1 Corinthians 15:7
      Afterward He was seen by James, then by all the apostles (the special messengers),
     
  82. 1 Corinthians 15:9
      For I am the least [worthy] of the apostles, who am not fit or deserving to be called an apostle, because I once wronged and pursued and molested the church of God [oppressing it with cruelty and violence].
  
  83. 1 Corinthians 15:10
      But by the grace (the unmerited favor and blessing) of God I am what I am, and His grace toward me was not [found to be] for nothing (fruitless and without effect). In fact, I worked harder than all of them [the apostles], though it was not really I, but the grace (the unmerited favor and blessing) of God which was with me.
 
12 Apostle of Jesus in 2 Corinthians 1:1
      PAUL, AN apostle (a special messenger) of Christ Jesus by the will of God, and Timothy [our] brother, to the church (assembly) of God which is at Corinth, and to all the saints (the people of God) throughout Achaia (most of Greece):
 
  85. 2 Corinthians 11:5
      Yet I consider myself as in no way inferior to these [precious] extra-super [false] apostles.
 
  86. 2 Corinthians 11:13
      For such men are false apostles [spurious, counterfeits], deceitful workmen, masquerading as apostles (special messengers) of Christ (the Messiah).
 
  87. 2 Corinthians 12:11
      Now I have been [speaking like] a fool! But you forced me to it, for I ought to have been [ saved the necessity and] commended by you. For I have not fallen short one bit or proved myself at all inferior to those superlative [false] apostles [of yours], even if I am nothing (a nobody).
   
  88. 2 Corinthians 12:12
      Indeed, the signs that indicate a [genuine] apostle were performed among you fully and most patiently in miracles and wonders and mighty works.
 
12 Apostle of Jesus in Galatians 1:1
      PAUL, AN apostle--[special messenger appointed and commissioned and sent out] not from [any body of] men nor by or through any man, but by and through Jesus Christ (the Messiah) and God the Father, Who raised Him from among the dead--
    
  90. Galatians 1:17
      Nor did I [even] go up to Jerusalem to those who were apostles (special messengers of Christ) before I was, but I went away and retired into Arabia, and afterward I came back again to Damascus.
 
  91. Galatians 1:19
      But I did not see any of the other apostles (the special messengers of Christ) except James the brother of our Lord.
  
  92. Ephesians 1:1
      PAUL, AN apostle (special messenger) of Christ Jesus (the Messiah), by the divine will (the purpose and the choice of God) to the saints (the consecrated, set-apart ones) at Ephesus who are also faithful and loyal and steadfast in Christ Jesus:

  93. Ephesians 2:20
      You are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets with Christ Jesus Himself the chief Cornerstone.

  94. Ephesians 3:5
      [This mystery] was never disclosed to human beings in past generations as it has now been revealed to His holy apostles (consecrated messengers) and prophets by the [Holy] Spirit.

  95. Ephesians 4:11
      And His gifts were [varied; He Himself appointed and gave men to us] some to be apostles (special messengers), some prophets (inspired preachers and expounders), some evangelists (preachers of the Gospel, traveling missionaries), some pastors (shepherds of His flock) and teachers.

  96. Philippians 2:25
      However, I thought it necessary to send Epaphroditus [back] to you. [He has been] my brother and companion in labor and my fellow soldier, as well as [having come as] your special messenger (apostle) and minister to my need.

12 Apostle of Jesus in Colossians 1:1
      PAUL, AN apostle (special messenger) of Christ Jesus (the Messiah), by the will of God, and Timothy [our] brother,

  98. 1 Thessalonians 2:6
      Nor did we seek to extract praise and honor and glory from men, either from you or from anyone else, though we might have asserted our authority [stood on our dignity and claimed honor] as apostles (special missionaries) of Christ (the Messiah).
  
  99. 1 Timothy 1:1
      PAUL, AN apostle (special messenger) of Christ Jesus by appointment and command of God our Savior and of Christ Jesus (the Messiah), our Hope,

12 Apostle of Jesus in 1 Timothy 2:7
      And of this matter I was appointed a preacher and an apostle (special messenger)--I am speaking the truth in Christ, I do not falsify [when I say this]--a teacher of the Gentiles in [the realm of] faith and truth.

 101. 2 Timothy 1:1
      PAUL, AN apostle (special messenger) of Christ Jesus by the will of God, according to the promise of life that is in Christ Jesus,

 102. 2 Timothy 1:11
      For [the proclaiming of] this [Gospel] I was appointed a herald (preacher) and an apostle (special messenger) and a teacher of the Gentiles.
     
 103. Titus 1:1
      PAUL, A bond servant of God and an apostle (a special messenger) of Jesus Christ (the Messiah) to stimulate and promote the faith of God's chosen ones and to lead them on to accurate discernment and recognition of and acquaintance with the Truth which belongs to and harmonizes with and tends to godliness,
     
12 Apostle of Jesus in Apostle of Jesus in Hebrews 3:1
      SO THEN, brethren, consecrated and set apart for God, who share in the heavenly calling, [thoughtfully and attentively] consider Jesus, the Apostle and High Priest Whom we confessed [as ours when we embraced the Christian faith].
    
12 Apostle of Jesus in Hebrews 3:2
      [See how] faithful He was to Him Who appointed Him [Apostle and High Priest], as Moses was also faithful in the whole house [of God].
    
 106. 1 Peter 1:1
