Philip the Evangelist

In fact, some of them did not even pray for the anointing.

They were all about the m- the business of soul, and they found themselves, like Philip the Evangelist.

The Bible says in Acts 8 from verse 5 that Philip went down to Samaria.

I hope you know that Philip was one of the people who were brought together to serve tables.

But his passion for souls, he went down to Samaria and preached Christ.

He didn't go there to do miracles.

He didn't go there to make a name.

He went there about the mandate of souls.

And later, she and her family allegedly moved to Caesarea Philippi, and she became part of the growing assembly of believers in that city.

Philip the Evangelist and his four prophesying daughters were part of the church there, and they knew her story well.

According to the early church historian Eusebius, a bronze statue of Veronica was located in Caesarea Philippi commemorating the miracle.

It was a figure of her kneeling with her hands stretched out.

Many of the people who manifested the anointing in unusual dimensions, in fact, some of them did not even pray for the anointing.

They were all about the, the business of soul, and they found themselves, like Philip the Evangelist.

The Bible says in Acts 8 from verse 5 that Philip went down to Samaria.

I hope you know that Philip was one of the people who were brought together to serve tables.

But his passion for souls, he went down to Samaria and preached Christ.

He didn't go there to do miracles.

Vers acht von Kapitel einundzwanzigsten: Wenn ihr dort nachseht, erreichten wir am nächsten Tag Cäsarea.

Wir übernachteten im Haus des Evangelisten Philippus, einem der sieben.

Ja, wir haben Philippus das erste Mal gesehen, als er in Samaria predigte und mit den Äthiopiern sprach.

Hier taucht er wieder auf.

Springe zu Vers zehntem: Nachdem wir einige Tage dort waren, kam ein Prophet namens Agabus aus Judäa zu uns.

Acts 8:26-40.

"Now an angel of the Lord said to Philip, 'Go south to the road,' the desert road, 'that goes down from Jerusalem to Gaza.' So he started out, and on his way he met an Ethiopian eunuch, an important official in charge of all the treasury of Candace, which means Queen of Ethiopians.

This man had gone to Jerusalem to worship, and on his way home he was sitting in his chariot reading the Book of Isaiah the prophet.

The Spirit told Philip, 'Go to that chariot and stay near it.' Then Philip ran up to the chariot and heard the man reading Isaiah the prophet.

'Do you understand what you're reading?' Philip asked.

'How can I,' he said, 'unless someone explains to me?' So he invited Philip to come and sit with him.

This is the passage of Scripture the eunuch was reading: 'He was led like a sheep to the slaughter, and as a lamb before its shearer is silent, so he did not open his mouth.

In his humiliation he was deprived of justice.

It's, it's been around in the church from the beginning.

Um, Philip the Evangelist has daughters who prophesy, and they are known about and they're, they, they're sort of respected as such and mentioned as such.

Um, but when you get lists of the different gifts and callings that God gives to the church so that the church can be the church, for instance, in Ephesians chapter three or in, uh, first Corinthians chapter 12 and in some other lists as well, the lists never come out the same.

There, there's some that, that are in this one and not that one, and they're in a different order, et cetera, which strongly suggests to me that the early church was not bothered about a definite hierarchy of there's A and B and C and that's your lot.

Con todo respeto, no es competencia, ¿sabes? Porque a Pedro se le convirtieron miles en su primer sermón.

Pero a este caballero, [risas] Felipe el evangelista, se le convirtió todo el pueblo.

Todo el pueblo.

Fue a predicar a Samaria y había un brujo en el parque central con una mazacuata en el pescuezo.

And when we had finished our voyage from Tyre, we came to Ptolemy, greeted the brethren and stayed with them one day.

On the next day, we who were Paul's companions departed and came to Caesarea and entered the house of Philip the Evangelist, who was one of the seven, and stayed with him.

Now this man had four virgin daughters who prophesied.

And as we stayed many days, a certain prophet named Agabus came down from Judea.
