Summary: This message is dedicated to encouraging people to become active in their churches, including people in the Five Fold Ministry.
David left the house to deliver the corn, bread, and cheese to where the army was. He arrived, and gave them the food. The army was afraid of Goliath the giant. They were hiding. David had a different plan. To him the size of the battle wasn’t the issue. Doing the battle no matter what the obstacle. In defiance to their fear he spoke up and made them angry at him. Knowing that he wasn’t going to get the army to do anything he went to King Saul. Saul didn’t want him to go and fight the Giant. After telling the king that he killed a Lion, and a Bear, he decided to let him go. So he gave him his Armor, and Sword. David wasn’t used to what he was wearing and the armor wouldn’t fit right. He took it off and got a sling with five smooth stones. He killed Goliath with the first one. The Fivefold Ministry represent those five smooth stones. Apostles, Prophets, Evangelists, Pastors, Teachers. These are the weapons against anything that is contrary to sound doctrine. They will destroy any work of evil with the word of God. Each of them will do their part, and become mighty, and honorable to do the work that God has for the people to do. The church will be strong. It will be built upon a foundation that does not slip. Neither does is crumble. The foundation is the Rock of Ages. The Chief Cornerstone. Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior.
Is there not a cause? Yes there is. It is the cause of God. It’s time to benefit the kingdom of God. It is time to not just benefit the kingdom, but make a difference. It is important to stand against obstacles, trials, persecution. It's important to govern the people in our congregations. It is our duty to teach them what is true, according to scripture. It's our responsibility to evangelize wherever God leads them to go. It's time for Holy Sanctified Pastors to lead the flock, and protect them from enemies foreign and domestic. Prophets need to Prophesy what saith the Lord. The church needs to be taught about the Prophets in the Old Testament. What was said is basis and foundation for New Testament Salvation. Acts 2:38 Baptism by immersion in water in the name of Jesus Christ for the Remission of sins. and the Baptism of the Holy Ghost.
