ABOUT

This Ministry Embraces Jesus' Ministry 

JESUS is the Apostle, the Prophet, the Evangelist, the Pastor/Shepherd, and the Teacher, in His Church, the Ecclesia. 

God is looking for Sons who would worship Him in spirit and truth (John 4:24), and be led by His Spirit (Romans 8:14), to do on earth what they see the Father do in heaven (John 5), and to speak what they discern Him speaking (John 10)! God is looking for His people to have intimate relationships with Him. This is how Jesus works with His people and through them. Jesus chooses some in His Church, delegates authority to them, and imparts specific gifts from Himself to them, to function as He does. We call these gifts the "fivefold" ministry gifts (Ephesians 4:7-16). The gifts proceed from the intimate relationship that His chosen ones have with Him. They are not independent of intimacy with God, but an overflow from Him, like a channel, through to others. This flow is constantly refreshed by the intimate relationship of the receiver of the gift to function and never stops. It's how Jesus continues to do His work from heaven, on earth, as He had done before He died, rose from the dead and returned to heaven. Through intimacy with Him, through the Holy Spirit, we would know His heart and mind on what needs to be done. 

Jesus is the Apostle, the Prophet, the Evangelist, the Pastor/Shepherd, and the Teacher, not His fivefold ministers. This intimate partnership His chosen ones have with Him, causes them to function as He did on earth and bring them to grow into Him, in full maturity, as He had done with His disciples and people, while He was on the earth. 

Therefore, we honor this anointing because it comes from Jesus and belongs to Him, not to the carrier. All five ministry gifts are equal in value, but different in function and responsibility. The true apostle and prophet gifts are a function, not a self-given title, and are given to some, not because they are elite believers. These gifts are given by Jesus to some who are appointed by God, as He wills. They're not a self-appointment, taken by human self-will.

True apostles and prophets, are not isolated, popularity and fame-seeking gifts, a hierarchy, or dictatorship for control of the evangelist, the pastor, and the teacher, or anyone else, as some misunderstand them to be. They have been graced with a call and anointing that unfolds and brings insight of God's plans, with wisdom and strategy to raise and release the Church to advance with God's Kingdom will, swifter and stronger than ever! These two gifts are often viewed suspiciously and are often aborted by others because what they carry seems too good to be true. They have not suddenly appeared on the scene either, in a contemporary, modern age, as a new teaching to dominate and overthrow others before them. They always existed, but were overlooked and overthrown for various reasons.

True prophets (they have the revelation to build) and true apostles (they have the wisdom to build and make things happen) are relational gifts, as Jesus is, seeking to raise sons, as they would align with the pastor, teacher, and evangelist, the Church of Jesus, to become a love-motivated, truth-based, united whole unit, as Jesus intended it to be, building into each other, as a God Team. But Jesus first brings and trains a person under a leader, who has been walking with Him for several years, to learn in humility, to submit to that leader and be accountable. Just as a disciple has a teacher, a son, must have a father and learn, so to one day become a father too, and also raise their own spiritual sons. Anyone can make a baby, but it takes wisdom, to become a father and raise sons, who would also one day become a father to raise sons (2 Timothy 2:2). First, ask God to showyour father and align yourself to this spiritual parent, be committed and learn this father. It's not about gender, it's about the fathering spirit this parent carries. Every son should have a father and every father should have sons. To whom much is given, much is required!
