Apostolic Acceleration |
Leader, have you considered the impact of apostolic ministries?
There is an acceleration in the Body of Christ that is activated by the
apostolic ministry. I’d like to share some principles that will
facilitate the apostolic move into new dimensions in your ministry.
1. APOSTOLIC MINISTRIES ARE DIRECTLY COMMISSIONED.
Apostles are “sent ones”. The word literally
means “he that is sent.” But not only that, he is an ambassador with the full power of the one
doing the sending!! Acts 13:4 -- “So they, BEING SENT FORTH BY THE HOLY GHOST.....”
(See also I Corinthians 1:11)
2. APOSTLES ARE THE MASTERBUILDERS.
Apostles have an overview in vision. Apostles see the
“big picture.” While others are looking at the size of the nails, the Apostle can see the
entire skyscraper. Paul says in I Corinthians 3:10 -- According to the grace of God
which is given unto me, as a wise MASTERBUILDER, I have laid the foundation.
3. APOSTLES MOVE INTO NEW BREAKTHROUGH DIMENSIONS.
Recently, I asked the Founder and Chancellor of a west coast
Bible college if any of his students had a pioneering spirit. He answered me
a very frank...”NO”. Pioneers open ways for others to follow. Apostles are
pioneers who do not fear to break into new territories. Apostolic impartation is an
activation into greater
faith for others to follow into new breakthrough dimensions.
4. APOSTLES BRING IMPARTATION.
Romans 1:11 -- For I long to see you, that I may impart to you
some spiritual gift, to the end ye may be established. Just as Jesus imparted
the five ministry gifts of Ephesians 4:10-12, Apostles have the ability to impart
through the laying on of hands. Apostles can stir up that which has been dormant and
recognize that which needs to come forth. (II Timothy 1:6; Acts 13:1-3)
Leader, many of you are being called into new apostolic dimensions. It is time
for a reformation in your thinking. God is giving new mindsets. Apostolic
dimensions are awaiting -- enter in!
INSIDE THE SEED
Ephesians 4:11 -- And he gave some apostles, and some prophets,
and some evangelists, and some, pastors and teachers...... Jesus fulfilled and carried
the mantle of each five-fold ministry gift. Pastor - John 10:11; Teacher -
Matthew 5:2; Evangelist - Matthew 18:11; Prophet - Matthew 13:57; Apostle - Hebrews 3:1
LEADERSHIP LINES
God has an apostolic mentor for your life.
Energy is a product of the Holy Spirit-filled life.
Satan is watching to see if his tactics are working.
Your faith is attracting the attention of God.
What good thing can you taste RIGHT NOW?
Have you asked the right questions about your quest?
Never, never,
never give up! Nobody succeeds alone.
PROPHETIC WORD
I am moving you into a new season, says the Lord. I have
something in mind, says the Lord, that will bring forth the acceleration into what I
have ordained for you. This is not what man has ordained, or even wanted,
but it is what I want says the Lord, and it is what will be. I will not be
bound by the mindsets of men; I will not confine your ministry to the
imprisonment of religious attitudes, says the Lord. I free you, my called one; I free you from
those who do not know the shift that I am taking you through. I have called you and I
have ordained you an apostle unto the nations so do not limit Me; Follow Me now
and begin to move into this new thing, says the Lord, and do not look back and
do not go back.
For I have commanded a blessing in my new move, says the Lord your God and that is where you will find the fulfillment. Old paths will not fulfill you now and old mindset will no longer appeal to you; For what I do now, shall be a formation of new things and new ways, and new mindsets. Step out in faith and do not worry about the resources, says the Lord, for an apostolic anointing to receive shall come upon you and you shall see a hunger in those that I have called and joined to you and it shall come forth, says the Lord!
