Hi, I am Claude and welcome to Acts.net.

This topics "Appointed" has 9 chapters that we will be walking through together.

Acts 17:30-31, Acts 14:23, Hebrews 9:27, Job 14:5, Numbers 9:7, Numbers 9:13, 1 Kings 18:21-46,
Romans 13:1-2, Jeremiah 1:5, 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18

When your boss appoints you to a new position, you are glad because there is usually a pay raise and more responsibilities. You are known for your experiences in dealing with many surfaces of your work. You are happy so his your family. The first day is always more challenging because you do not know enough, and you are now learning. That will take time, and with time, you will get better and better. That goes the same way with God when He decides to bring you in, and He appoints you to an even more fantastic position.

Jesus picked the twelve and appointed them as disciples. As time went on, he appointed more people to be his disciples, but they were not as close as the twelve. Jesus did not need to find a way to bring his message to the multitude because people could not resist to tell what they saw. I believe that when people see miracles of any kind, they want to tell others.

Even today, God still picks his people, and some come to Him, and then they get appointed to a new position in Christ Jesus.

In the days of Acts, everyone wanted to carry their cross. It is a metaphor for being able to bring Christianity into a world of so many gods. The world was in chaos, and people loved themselves and no one else. They thought that their gods would answer their requests, but they would only get nothing, for these gods did nothing.

Jeremiah tells a story of such magnitude that you wonder why people still look for gods. 1 Kings 18:21-46

When God appoints you to do something, and you are willing to help, many things can be manifested. Today, we don't see or hear about all those miracles that are still happening around the world. That is because nobody wants to proclaim God, most people prefer this world just like the people in the days of Elijah. Yes, this world prefers to worships the devil and what he does.

I have a story that happened to me when I was in the Pentecostal church in Barrie, Ontario. I had a dream of getting the church to do 24 hours fast. So I talked with the pastor, and he felt the same way. Now the pastor goes and speaks with the board members and decided to get it done. I would be there the whole 24 hours with a few more people who were also volunteering to be part. During that time, some people received healing, while others received answer to prayers, and others were given prophecies. The prayer people, including myself, did all this. When we were at the twenty-first hour, the pastor asked to get the communion ready. So I went into the kitchen, got the wafers and the cups and brought these items back to the church. Here is the thing, Holy Spirit mentioned to bring only thirteen cups and the wafers. So I filled the communion tray with the cups. Still, I saw people who did not come during the twenty-four-hour prayer time, so I decided to put out another twelve cups.

Now there were twenty-five cups. That meant one for the pastor and twenty-four for the disciples and should have been twelve. When done with the prayers, the pastor said it is time to come to an end, and we will do the communion. I counted the number of people that were there, and there were thirteen, including the pastor. The pastor said that it would be a fantastic thing that we are thirteen, and maybe the communion tray would have thirteen cups and he laugh. He thought that this would reveal something to him. When he took the lid of the communion tray, he saw twenty-five cups. Now he and the others were laughing, and I was not. I tried to tell the pastor what happened, but I could not slip one word to him. It was like there was a wall between me and everyone else. I knew what it meant, and I could not share, now I did with you. God does miracles, God does speak to anyone who wants to listen, God does so many things that you would probably laugh as they did. Well, this was my true story. Do you have an account of where God appointed you to do something, either small or large? And when you completed your task, you were the only one who knew the accurate account of your story?

Here is a question: How many people do you think God has appointed to this day, just this day? I do not know the answer at the moment of this writing. The Holy Spirit mentioned, nine hundred and eighty-seven people were appointed to a different task, and I am one of those. My mission is to get this website up and running.

God knows you since the beginning of time. He has appointed you in this world to do His bidding. Are you ready to take on some real responsibilities? God is waiting patiently for you to make a decision. He could be here very soon, right? God can be here anytime. Yes, it has been over two thousand years, and we are still waiting. Look around you, and you will see nothing special. When you are with Christ Jesus, you will see how the Bible has opened the verses' understanding. Many people from the Bible have prophesied things that are going on in this world. And Jesus will be here soon. You have to make your decision before He comes.

In Israel, all appointed times for different feasts must be observed. Nothing is to change. That is what God expects of them. Everyone else around the world decides when we want to go to church. We determine what we want to do during the week or weekend. We choose how to celebrate. We decide what to do with a pregnancy. We decide whether or not we are going to steal. We decide who we want to follow. Where is God? We decide who we want to worship, not happy with this church, go to another and so on until you stay home, and then you wonder what is going on. Nevertheless, God still loves you, and He waits for you to talk to Him.

Even John was appointed to write the Book of Revelation. He also went into the future, and he saw with his own eyes what men would become. Here is why Jesus showed all this to John. It was not only to write another Book for the Bible. It was to send a signal to all humankind to be better, or there would be consequences to face. Did we learn anything? Of course, we know something, but we are near the last few seconds before the end comes.

God has been appointing people since day one. He started with Adam, and he named all the animals, even his wife. Throughout time God has been here helping His people. Since Jesus came, everything has changed. God made it simple to go to Him. So simple that you can not miss it. Your only issue is with the devil and the temptation that he is giving you. That is where pleasure comes in abundance, and you could be deceived into thinking that this world will always be a better place. What you are missing is that this life will come to an end, and then comes judgment day for some people.

You must take charge of your life now so you can see what God can do for you. Unfortunately, there is no two weeks trial and get your money back. That is a one-way ticket, and if you do not like it, you go back to your own life without God. So when do you think you will take this leap of faith and come home to God?
