“Called, Chosen…Authority”

“Called, Chosen…Authority”

Blessings folk!

Jesus went to a mountain.

Luke tells us why…

Luk 6:12-13

It was at this time that He went off to the mountain to pray,
and He spent the whole night in prayer to God.

And when day came, He called His disciples to Him and chose twelve of them,
whom He also named as apostles:

Jesus spent the entire night in prayer.
Why?
The next day He chose the twelve that would be closest to Him…

Mar 3:13-19

And He went up on the mountain and summoned those whom He Himself wanted,
and they came to Him.

And He appointed twelve,
so that they would be with Him and that He could send them out to preach,

and to have authority to cast out the demons.

And He appointed the twelve: Simon (to whom He gave the name Peter),

and James, the son of Zebedee, and John the brother of James
(to them He gave the name Boanerges, which means, “Sons of Thunder&rdquoWinking;

and Andrew, and Philip, and Bartholomew, and Matthew, and Thomas, and James the son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus, and Simon the Zealot;

and Judas Iscariot, who betrayed Him.

Notice, Jesus…

  • called them
  • chose them
  • named them
  • would be with them
  • sent them out to preach
  • gave them authority to cast out demons
  • appointed them
He has done the same for those that are true believers.

You are…
  • called
  • chosen
  • named
  • appointed
  • sent
  • filled with His authority
  • never abandoned

Oh, by the way…all before the foundations of the earth…

Live therefore in His power and might…
