Apostolic & Prophetic
The Prophetic is not unusual in God's eyes. It is actually the norm. Religion has bound people to believe that they need others to speak the works of God to them, when in fact, every believer that has been born again has the ability to hear God for themselves.
"My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow me." John 10: 27
Prophecy means simply to speak the heart and mind of God for a person, a group of people, a situation, or a nation.
It is vital for the Church that the Prophetic is present. Here are reasons why:
- It provides direction about God's purposes and desires for His Church and for people.
- It brings edification, exhortation and comfort to the Church (1 Cor 14:3)
- It builds and edifies the Church (1 Cor 14:4)
- It provides an agenda to pray and intercede according to God's heart.
- It provides strategies to advance the Kindom of God and defeat the Kingdom of Darkness.
The Apostolic is necessary now like it was in the first Century Church. The Apostles preformed great signs, wonders and miracles. That was the norm. Jesus said they would and they did. This empowered all the believers to also preform such signs.
Many religious groups claim that God no longer preforms miracles through His Church. The truth is that God never changes, and that need for His miraculous power is just as vital now, as it was in the first century.
The Apostolic also brings order, government, leadership, and establishment to God's Church.
"having been built on the foundation of apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ, Himself being the chief cornerstone," Eph 2:20
The Apostles and Prophets lay the foundation for the Church. God has called them to do that. Without a foundation, how can the Church stand?
In today's day and age, the use of porphecy and the presence of Apostles may seem unusual. However, as God establishes His Church, the Apostles and Prophets in our modern day will become more acknowledged and respected by the whole for the Church. With all of the Five Fold Ministries* working together, the saints will be fully equipped the way that God intended and the entire Earth will Witness the greatest move of God this Earth has ever seen.
In summary, every saint can hear God's voice and therefore can prophesy. Prophets are here to train and activate people to do this. Every said can move in the signs and wonders and the power of God. The Apostles are here to train and activate people to do this.
