Anointed but Not Appointed
“From a biblical perspective, the concept of being anointed but not appointed refers to a situation where someone is chosen, called, or empowered by God (anointed) for a particular purpose or role, but the timing for stepping into that role (appointed) has not yet come. This can serve as a period of preparation, testing, and growth before fully walking into the responsibilities of the calling.”
Struggling to Feel Free? Discover Hope and Healing Through Christ
Are you feeling weighed down by struggles in your life—whether they’re emotional, relational, or even spiritual? Freedom ministries are all about helping people like you break free from these burdens and experience the transformative power of Christ. This blog shares how key biblical principles can guide you toward healing, hope, and lasting freedom.
Biblical Foundation for a Freedom Ministry
Freedom ministries aim to liberate individuals from spiritual, emotional, and relational bondage through the power of Christ. A thorough examination of key biblical passages highlights the foundational principles of such ministries. This document synthesizes insights from the exegesis papers on Isaiah 61, Matthew 10, Matthew 17, Ephesians 6, Acts 1-2, and 2 Corinthians 10-13, demonstrating how each text provides critical guidance for freedom ministry.
Acts 1-2
Acts 1-2 serves as the prologue to the Acts of the Apostles, setting the stage for the early Christian movement. These chapters encompass Jesus' final instructions to His disciples, His ascension, the replacement of Judas, the outpouring of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost, Peter’s sermon, and the rapid expansion of the Church. This paper examines the theological, historical, and literary elements of Acts 1-2, emphasizing their significance in the broader narrative of Acts.
Exegesis of Isaiah 61
Understanding Isaiah 61 helps believers see God’s heart for justice, compassion, and renewal. It also encourages Christians to trust in God’s plans for their own lives and to join Him in bringing restoration to the world. As we explore this chapter, we will examine its historical setting, literary structure, and theological themes to uncover the depth of its meaning and relevance.
Introduction Into the World of the Demonic
“The encounter between Jesus and the demoniac in the region of the Gerasenes, described in the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, and Luke, provides a rich narrative that sheds light on the nature of demonic spirits and Jesus’ authority over them. These three accounts offer unique perspectives but share consistent themes, particularly in the demonstration of Christ’s authority and the portrayal of demonic oppression.”
Matthew 10: An Itinerant Disciple’s Handbook
The ministry we have been called to steward is about helping individuals and couples be set free. The name (Sixty-One Three Ministries) comes from Isaiah 61:1-3. The Biblical foundation for it has been primarily Matthew 10:8. Doing a deeper dive into Matthew 10 and looking at the rest of the chapter relative to our ministry and specifically at the validity of looking at it being for disciples beyond the original Twelve was important.
Covenants: God’s Contracts with Humanity
Covenants have been a major way God has shown His desire for a relationship with mankind from Adam and Eve to the end of times with the second coming of Jesus. After the fall, the covenants were put in place to allow mankind a pathway for redemption. But mankind showed an inability to live within any of the OT Covenants.
