True or False

Well, the "Premier Apostolic Instructor" was present tonight at the Samuel Elijah Prophetic College. Apostle Ricci spoke forcibly from the topic "Is there a test for False Apostles." Yes! We systematically and in detail went through the scriptures and found the test for knowing what a true apostle is. 

The most important test is looking at the the character and walk of the Chief Apostle Jesus Chr
ist, the sent one of God. It has been said that if you want to know what is false study the genuine article. How do you tell a counterfeit paper money? You study and know the genuine. Jesus is the real deal.

We know Him by his fruit, a fruit that last. A true apostle is sent by God, with God's agenda not their own. A true apostle speaks what God has given them and does what God does. “My food,” said Jesus, “is to do the will of him who sent me and to finish his work. Jn. 4:34. Jesus gave them this answer: “Very truly I tell you, the Son can do nothing by himself; he can do only what he sees his Father doing, because whatever the Father does the Son also does. Jn. 5:19 "For I have come down from heaven not to do my will but to do the will of him who sent me." Jn. 6:38 Here is one more. "My teaching is not mine, but His who sent me." A true apostle is a sent son who glorifies the Father in character, behavior, and action.

When a true apostle enters your life he/she is sent by God. to build you up until Christ has grown in you to full stature. The apostle builds a firm foundation on which you develop into all that God has called you to become. It is not about them it is about you. All of this happens in a caring and affirming relationship designed by your Father in heaven.

Study Jesus the Chief Apostle and you will never be fooled by the false.

Prayer is not an option

Prayer for this nation does not stop because the election is over. The body of Christ is not a political party. We are people of the kingdom of God called to be salt and light in this world that God loves.

Sons and daughters of the Most High God, begin to walk in your sonship and be the righteous, radical, and relentless remnant lovers of God and people.

"I urge, then, first of all, that petitio
ns, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for all people— 2 for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. 3 This is good, and pleases God our Savior, 4 who wants all people to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth. 5 For there is one God and one mediator between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus, 6 who gave himself as a ransom for all people. This has now been witnessed to at the proper time.: I Tim. 2:1-6
In response to a brother in Christ about his bemoaning an Obama win:

"Well my brother I guess we have our work cut out for us. We need to provide biblical principles to poverty. I have seen over the years that when people come to know Jesus Christ they begin to raise their income. They have a work ethic that causes them to stick and stay with employment, seek education, and give back to their com
munity. I am working with students like that in my urban Christian college. Some got saved and Jesus turned their lives upside down and now they are in college. They were ex-offenders, addicts, homeless, and on welfare. "such were some of you..."

Praise God for the economic stimulus called salvation. Our God still reigns my brother, so get to work.
