When does a member of the body can tell the head what to do? When does a citizen tell his or her king what to do? Well this is what is happen in the church today. We have asked ourselves where is the power of God? If we do not have the right heart for our king and head of the church we cannot have the power of God!
We have come to a day and time that a massive, extreme, and radical reformation has come upon us. Many Christian groups will no longer be around in our near future only those who obey the Holy Spirit today will be apart of the body of Christ. Yes those who are born again are apart of body of Christ by the blood of Christ however; those churches that don’t reform will be cast out. The Holy Spirit will leave those churches and they will fall apart and apostles will arise and led them out of those churches into a new day of the apostolic church. Yes those who are born again the Holy Spirit will not leave, for the word says that I will never leave you, or forsake you. On the other hand, those who do not obey will be judged, and you are already judged. Judgment begins at the house of the Lord, the church. This judgment will first deal with the leadership, and then the rest of the body of Christ. After that judgment will go to cities, nations of the world.
It is time for a makeover of the local church and face of the church worldwide. The Lord has arising up with his shepherd’s rod he is counting his sheep. The Lord knows your hearts, mind, and ways. “Humble yourself and hear what Holy Spirit is saying to the church. Do not speak in your own words or own judgments for the Lord will judge those words”.
Apart from that, our Lord Jesus Christ is the Chief Apostle and Head of the Church and from him all true apostolic anointing flows from him down upon the body of Christ and the apostles.
However, members, believers, saints you are not called to be pew members, you are called to do the work of ministry. Every believer has gift or more. They are walk in those gifts, not just go to Sunday worship service that that is all. The work of the ministry is for everyday and in life. The work of ministry is not just in the four walls that is the equipping and gathering place. Beside, clergy and laypersons are not godly tiles of positions of the church. Those churches that do not obey this or apply this they are not flowing in the apostolic anointing and they shall be cut of from the body of Christ.
However, those churches that are one-man ministry not a team of ministries are not apostolic and will not flow in the apostolic anointing. They to will be cut of from the body of Christ. To be an apostolic church there must be team of leaders not just one-man ministry. Beside, the local church is a body ministry.
However, those churches that are deacon controlled will not ether flow in the apostolic anointing that flow from the Head of the Church. They too will be cut of from the church. The word deacon is not in the Bible, the word that is there is minister or servant, this is saying about those of the five-fold ministries of grace that are not yet an elder. Elders are the mature of the ministry of Christ.
On the contrary, those churches that used the word elder for their member control church that is not of the will of God. That to is out of order. Elders are the mature of the five-fold ministry of grace only.
However, pastors are not the senior minister of a local church, apostles are the senior ministers working along with a team of elders, a team of ministers. Pastors are not over apostles; apostles are over pastors in the Lord. This is in freedom and not in control.
Beside, why does not the five-fold ministry fit into the local church, for the reason there is not team ministry, and a team of elders. Those churches are not apostolic and they have hindered themselves from the apostolic anointing.
However, those ministerial associations or organizations that do not believe in apostles or prophets have no foundation any longer and their end has come to an end. If you use any other title for the senior overseer that is called an apostle this is wrong. Beside if the senior overseer is not an apostle this is wrong too. If you used the tile bishop or any other tile that is not an apostle or biblical this is wrong. Apostles and elders are godly tiles and bishops, presidents, etc. are ungodly tiles.
Nevertheless, Jesus Christ is the center and He is all. It is the Holy Spirit that grows the Church. If we have the Holy Spirit the church will grow. It is the power of God, in signs and wonders and the gifts of the Spirit that makes the church grow.
However, the old wineskins have no room for apostles, prophets, the ministers of Christ, gifts of the Spirit, the believer’s ministry, workplace ministers, coming city church, future city, church, and the Holy Spirit, etc. Therefore it is not of God for any Christian to support or give honor to such groups that do not obey the truth and what the Holy Spirit is saying. We must repent of these ways of doing church outside of the order and will of Christ. Yes love those who do such things, we are speaking the truth in love. We are to be humble in these times of change.
Beside, from these new wineskins shall come forth much stronger city church today and mature into the mature city church, which is the kingdom Church. The Apostolic Church shall birth the Kingdom church, which is the city church in cities of nations all over the world. The city church right now is too weak, so a stronger one will come forth and replaces it and then in the future the mature city church will come forth. You must have a vision for the city church or this too can hinder and will hinder the flow of apostolic anointing in your life and church.
In addition, apostolic vision in planting churches, local churches, cell churches, home churches, networks, and the city church, must move forth with apostolic anointing that flows from the Head of Church.
Apart from that, tithing institution of today has no Scripture foundation; this false doctrine is the easiest to prove wrong. Jesus, Peter, Paul and the church in Acts never tithe, not at all. The tithing institution is not God ordain or blessed, it is not the same one that was in the Old Testament. The one today is a man make institution. Tithing institution makes you dull of hearing the Holy Spirit in your giving, and makes the servants of the Lord see you as their own property in their eyes, which devalues you. Tithing institution hinders the wealth of the sinner from coming in. Tithing institution keeps you in bondage to poverty and lack. The Lord does not honor tithing, and there is no such thing as New Testament tithing. All tithing churches will come to an end and be replacing with those who walk in freewill giving and grace giving. Grace giving churches will increase and grow and tithing churches will decrease and not grow. The tithing institution will hinder the apostolic anointing in churches that obey the lie of tithing.
On the contrary, faith working through love; love those in the old wineskins, be humble mined toward them. We must speak the truth in love, in grace, and wisdom. Those who are born again are apart of the body of Christ no matter what wineskin your in. we are still in the body of Christ. Do not look down on those in the old wineskins; keep the doors open to them.
However, religion is the sin of idolatry. Impure religion is every religion outside of Christ; it is every Christian religion, and group, etc. There is a pure and undefiled religion that is the mature city church, the end time church. Any move of God, any wineskins can go from moving with God into idolatry. Any one can enter into a religious spirit no matter what level or how much mature you are. This is why we must love are brothers, and be humble, and seek fellowship, and unity on common ground. This does not mean that we will compromise the reformation, we have drawn a line and we will not cross it.
Furthermore, once when the church has went through the fires of reformation, the apostolic church will birth the kingdom church, which is the city church and the body of Christ will have true unity forever more.
