		<description><![CDATA[I was looking for something online to soothe my spirit.  Your original entry here describes my journey.    I even believe that God has told me that I am an apostle- and yet  I can not rectify that with my Earthly understanding of what is going on in my life.    Since reading this, I have decided to just submit to God - because he has taken me out of my beloved church and is sending me to learn about things that I don&#039;t understand exactly.

I questioned WHAT I was supposed to do with all of these odds and ends, because I feel useless and I feel like I am wasting time. 

I want to be useful.  

This all reminds me think there is a bigger purpose to my life and it will come at God&#039;s time.  

Thanks for this discussion.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Wow, this is great! Now my life makes sense to me, you gave an explanation for all the things going on in my life. Now I know why I am alone, Called out of the church system 13 years ago and given a ministry caring for the poor in Christ, most people don&#039;t want to hear the words I preach, they don&#039;t want truth! Now I know I am not the odd one! I just wrote a blog today about being whatever God wants me to be when He needs me to be it! I didn&#039;t understand why most of the believers I know don&#039;t feel this way. Will tell you quick, that is not my ministry. I have never been a follower and I just described myself to a friend in every way you wrote about in  your article. I was looking for some kind of way to understand myself, what was going on with me, and now I have found it. Thank you!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Certainly I fit the apostle category as I am alone, perceived as odd, and have a close relationship with Christ. He set me apart to leave organized &#039;religion&#039; and He gave me the Holy Spirit to teach me directly from the Scripture. As a result I have been able to relay truth to sundry people who will not listen to and/or go to a &#039;church&#039; in this day of apostasy.

One other thing that is largely unknown: Sripturally, apostles saw Christ visually, as they walked with Him. Paul, while he did not actaully walk with Christ, was saved by a direct approach from Christ...he heard His voice and was blinded and restored to confirm that it was indeed the Christ that chose him.

I was saved in a very unusual, yet Scriptural fashion. Christ appeared to me and spoke to me in a vision; while I did not see His face as it was obscured by light, He convicted me of sin, righteousness and judgment. I did see His glorious resurrection Body. I am an apostle. My gifts are teaching, healing, and a very down-to-earth ability to tlk with people and have them understand Biblical tenets that previously eluded them.

Glory to Israel&#039;s God. He elected me, an unregenerate Jewess, and blessed me with a glimpse of the glory we shall see when He returns for us.

Grace and peace unto the true saints.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Hi, I am new to this web site, but i fnd it quite interesting. i have been or should i say had been  in doubt about my own ministerial calling, but no more. The bible tells us that we as the body of christ have the ministry of reconciliation, and instead of so much of the heirarchy and political debates over who can and who cant, who should and who shouldnt, maybe if we kept our focus on the life of Christ and lived as  He lived, seeking and saving that which was lost, I believe we could accomplish so much more. I am by no means overlooking the fact that we must do things decent and in order. I believe that we have been so overcome by the workings of the &quot;church&quot; , that we have begun to overlook the work of the church. When Jesus arose from the tomb, Im sure that He knew that He would first reveal Himself to a woman, and Mary Magdelene at that, then he sent her to tell His disciples. He first revealed Himself as the Messiah, by His own confession, to a samaritan woman at the well who also had a similar lifestyle. There is but one spirit, and one Lord. In all of the &quot;hoopla&quot; if thats even a word, I think we each must ask ourselves &quot;whom have I lead to Christ?&quot; &quot; Am I walking a walk that doesnt cause others to stumble?&quot; If I am a man or a woman, &quot;am I teaching the young ones to grow into maturity in Christ?&quot; &quot;am I taking up my cross daily to follow Christ?&quot;.  The bible says that heaven rejoices over one sinner that comes to repentance. Let&#039;s give heaven something to shout about, and not make this more difficult than it has to be.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Many say that there are no such things as Apostles or Prophets today. But Ephesians 4 clearly disagrees. Eph 4:11 states, &quot;He gave some apostles, some evangelist, some prophets, some pastor&#039;s and teacher for the perfecting(equipping) of the saints for the work of the ministry..TILL WE ALL COME TO THE UNITY OF THE FAITH,&quot; Is the church walking in unified faith? Of course not....so these  gifts HAVE to be in operation today!]]></description>
