Shalom,

In Luke 9 we read that Jesus sent out the 12 apostles and anointed them to minster to people as He was doing. In Luke 10:1-2 we see this:

1 NOW AFTER this the Lord chose and appointed seventy others and sent them out ahead of Him, two by two, into every town and place where He Himself was about to come (visit). 2 And He said to them, The harvest indeed is abundant [there is much ripe grain], but the farmhands are few. Pray therefore the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest.

Jesus was showing them that it was NOT just for His 12 chosen close associates to minister as He was doing! He said this to them in verses 8-9:

8 Whenever you go into a town and they receive and accept and welcome you, eat what is set before you; 9 And heal the sick in it and say to them, The kingdom of God has come close to you.

They were also to do the works of Jesus! Did they? Look at verse 17:

17 The seventy returned with joy, saying, Lord, even the demons are subject to us in Your name!

They even cast out demons in the Name of Jesus! Then Jesus added THIS in verse 19:

19 Behold! I have given you authority and power to trample upon serpents and scorpions, and [physical and mental strength and ability] over all the power that the enemy [possesses]; and nothing shall in any way harm you.

These disciples had this promise from Jesus BEFORE His death, burial and resurrection! HOW MUCH MORE is this true of those of us who have received Jesus as our Lord and personal Savior, thereby receiving the Anointing, the Spirit of God, to live IN us! AMEN! Then, on the Day of Pentecost, the Church of Jesus Christ were "endued with power from on high"(Luke 24:49)! I want you to see something here. Look at Romans 11:29:

29 For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance. KJV

This means that once God has given you something, He will NOT take it back! It is clearer in the Amplified Bible:

29 For God's gifts and His call are irrevocable. [He never withdraws them when once they are given, and He does not change His mind about those to whom He gives His grace or to whom He sends His call.] AMP

Contrary to what SOME denominations have been teaching for years, these precious gifts of the Spirit of God spoken of in 1 Corinthians were NOT given just to BEGIN the Church! Look at 1 Corinthians 13:8-10:

8 Love never ends; but prophecies will pass, tongues will cease, knowledge will pass. 9 For our knowledge is partial, and our prophecy partial; 10 but when the perfect comes, the partial will pass. CJB

WHEN shall these things cease? Look at verse 12:

12 For now we see obscurely in a mirror, but then it will be face to face. Now I know partly; then I will know fully, just as God has fully known me. CJB

WHEN is the THEN that is mentioned here? Look at 1 John 3:2:

2 Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it does not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when He shall appear, we shall be like Him; for we shall see Him as He is. KJV

This is the time when all of these things will no longer be needed! WHEN we "see Him face to face"! THAT has not happened yet! The Church of Jesus Christ has been very lax in some segments because they have refused the precious gifts for ministry that He has provided in order to reach the lost, which is HIS primary purpose! AMEN! So do NOT be such an one! Be ALL that God intends for you to be so that you can reach ALL whom He has appointed for YOU to reach! AMEN! Here is Hillsong Live with "Lost Are Found":
