WITNESSING SERIES – LESSON 2
ROMANS 3:23
 
The next verse to memorize is short and easy, but very important. It is Romans 3:23:
“For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God.”
 
It is important to quote this (always cite the specific book, chapter, and verse) because, quite frankly, many people in today’s society do not see themselves as sinners. They do know they are not perfect and don’t always do the right thing, but that does not equate to them as being a “sinner,” or that their actions are called “sin.”
 
You need to let them know this because God is Holy, He cannot stand sin. They are unclean sinners in His eyes, yet He still loves them.
 
“For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God.”
 
Say it over and over and over again. Make sure you cite the reference Romans 3:23 each time.
 
Be blessed, ambassador!

THE FIERY FURNACE
 
As we read the story in Daniel how the three Hebrew boys were thrown into the fiery furnace, we see some interesting things. First of all, Daniel, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego were Jewish princes brought into captivity. They knew their God. They were trained up in the things of God and knew the scriptures. They first of all had refused to eat the King’s food, which had been sacrificed to idols (Daniel 1: 8-16). They were favored with the prison master, and they were given their request. They fared better than those that at the forbidden food. 
 
They could be found praying daily, and spending time with God. They were hated for this. They did not bend to the government’s orders to bow down to an idol, and because of this they would be thrown into a fiery furnace to burn. Unlike most of us, they told the King it didn’t matter what he did to them. If God were to save them it would be fine with them, but if God allowed them to burn it was fine too, they just weren’t going to turn from their faith.
 
When they went into the fiery furnace for not obeying the “law of the land,” they soon found a fourth man in the furnace with them. It was no surprise, because that fourth man had been with them all along. They knew Messiah would come. They sought the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob daily. They knew God personally, and He showed up with them in the fire. Of course, as the story goes, they did not get burned, they came out of the furnace alive and well and didn’t have the smell smoke on them (Daniel 3:27). The only thing that was different was that the ropes they were tied with were now gone and burned up. They escaped the “sentence” of death.
 
The point in all of this is that they knew their God. They spent time every day praying and in the presence of God. I am certain if they had not done this that their fate would have been very different. There is coming a time when we will have to make a choice: go with God or be put into a “fiery furnace.” It may not be the furnace they went into, but it might mean prison, or death. The ONLY way that we can go through this whether coming out alive or dying, is if we also do what these three Hebrew boys and Daniel did. We must spend much time with God before those days come. Then and only then will we have the peace that they had and say it won’t matter whether we live or die because we know God is with us.
 
Have you separated yourself to God like this? I suggest you examine your heart and get things right before those days of trial come so you can stand strong. The early Christians faced death in lion’s dens, crucifixion and being torn apart, but they didn’t waiver because they knew there was something better ahead of them. Let us pray that we, too, can stand the test when those days come.

APOSTLE MICHAEL FRAM
VISTAPRINT CARD CARRYING SELF-PROCLAIMED APOSTLES & PROPHETS
as posted on Facebook 11-24-2020

I recently Posted:
"You may have the Ultimate Call of Apostle or Prophet, but you are not ready to be Commissioned to it after two years."
Face it Folks, we live in a day and age when you can print whatever you want on your Business Card, Vistaprint does not care if it is true or not, as long as you pay for it, they will print it.
When I posted this, someone commented: "Why would anyone want those functions that come with significant persecution and suffering?"

Why Indeed?!
The truth of the matter is, I know and am in relationship with many Apostles & Prophets, and none of them ever sought to be one. Every Legitimate Ascension Gift I know that Functions in one of these two Graces, resisted the call of God and argued with Him about it!

Yet we have many like Robert Duvall in the movie "The Apostle" that proclaim themselves one or the other. Is it possible we see these Functions as being the top of the hierarchical organizational structure, as opposed to the foundation that is buried face down in the dirt for everything else to be built upon? Is it possible we really do not know the cost and the price that is required to function and serve Ecclesia in this capacity. As one Man of God once said: "People see the Glory, but they don't know the Story!"

We have been living in a period of Restoration in the church where Ascension Functions, like Apostle & Prophet have been being restored to us since about the Mid 80's, but it is a Holy Calling to be entered into with fear and trembling, not some bandwagon to jump on!

In a famous quote from Uncle Ben to Peter Parker in Spiderman 1:
"With great power comes great responsibility!"

If one is really called to one of these graces, the severity of the responsibility that comes with it weighs on them heavily and is always in the forefront of their mind.
Someone once said: "We have more Apostles & Prophets than many think we do, but not as many as others think we do." I believe that is absolutely true.
We went from a season in the 80's when we thought to be an Apostle or Prophet was some "Special Class" of "Big Named" Leader, and there were not many of them; to where we are today where every Tom, Dick, or Harry is one. There must be a Balance between these two extremes! Not everyone who says they are...is! Some that deny they are...are!

How Can You Tell?
Jesus said: "By their Fruit you will know them!" If others recognize the call, the grace, the gift in someone; as opposed to their self-declaration, then you are dealing with something!

At a season in my life when a Prophet told me that I was going to be transitioning from Prophet to Apostle, and as far as God was concerned, He already saw me as such, I just had to go through the PROCESS (which the word 'process' was stated 5 times because it took 5 years); I told the Lord, when my peers see it...then we will do something about it, until then, I am not saying anything.
This is the missing ingredient to all the Vistaprint, Self-proclaimed, Apostles & Prophets - they are not in relationship with any others that have recognized it and agree that they are ready to walk in it.

Have you ever heard the expression: "It takes one to know one?"
Well, in this case it does! Legitimate Apostles & Prophets can recognize that same Gift and Grace in others that have it and endorse it through Relationship. If they are only endorsed by themselves...BEWARE!
