In the beginning of the Jesus Christ ministry on earth one of his first steps in his ministry was to call those who would be his apostles. He didn’t call prophets, etc. He only called apostles first, apostles were the first disciples of Jesus ministry. Apostles first to be commission into ministry. Apostles were the first leaders of the church. –(Matt. 20:16)

Jesus Christ is not only the head of the church; he is the chief apostle of all apostles of Christ. The apostolic anointing flows from him to all the body of Christ, and the apostles. –(Heb. 3:1)

Jesus is the one you created the office and ministry of the apostle not man, not the church, not the Christian faith. It is Jesus who calls and raises up apostles, not man, not the church, not the Christian faith. –(Acts 9)

However, the apostolic is not just for the apostles, this is first for the body of Christ. Today I will try to give you a list to help you in your understanding of the apostolic. We need to know what is the apostolic and what is not the apostolic. –(Acts 8:1,4, 11:19)

Understanding The Apostolic:

1. The Apostolic is the Apostles. —(Jn. 20:21)
2. The Apostolic is the Great Commission. –(Matt. 28:19-20)
3. The Apostolic is the sending anointing. –(Acts 13:1-4)
4. The Apostolic is missionary work. (Acts 13:46-48)
5. The Apostolic is foundational work. –(Eph. 2:20)
6. The Apostolic is pioneering work. –(Rom. 15:20)
7. The Apostolic is governmental establishment. –(1 Cor. 12:28)
8. The Apostolic is architecture work. –(1 Cor. 3:10)
9. The Apostolic is new wineskins. –(LK. 5:37-39)
10. The Apostolic is signs, wonders, miracles, healings, and gifts of the Spirits, Deliverance and mighty deeds. –(2 Cor. 12:12)
11. The Apostolic is every believer walking into his or her calling and gifts. –(1 Cor. 1:7)
12. The Apostolic is relationships, fellowshipping, and networking. –(Eph. 2:21-22)
13. The Apostolic is the unity, reconciliation, corporate Anointing. –(Psa. 133)
14. The Apostolic is reformation and revival. –(Heb. 9:10)
15. The Apostolic is fathering mentoring, training Equipping, and discipleship. –(Eph. 4:12)
16. The Apostolic is local church planting. –(Acts 14:23)
17. The Apostolic is cell groups and homes churches. –(Acts 2:46)
18. The Apostolic church is the city church. –(Rev. 1:4)
19. The Apostolic is revelational ministry. –(Eph. 3:5)
20. The Apostolic is impartional ministry. –(Rom. 1:11-12)
21. The Apostolic is compassion and mercy works. –(Gal. 2:10)
22. The Apostolic is ongoing, unyielding prayer and intercession. –(Eph. 6:18)
23. The Apostolic is spiritual warfare. –(Eph. 6:12)
24. The Apostolic is the ambassadors of Christ. –(2 Cor. 5:18,19,20)

In addition, The Holy Spirit is giving a definition to what are apostles, prophets, the apostolic, and the apostolic church. At the same time we are learning what is not the apostolic, etc. why we need to learn this, for the reason some people want to play their religious games with the apostolic. We are to test these spirits for not every spirit is from God. –(1 Jn. 4:1)

Moreover, the apostolic has always been in the church, instead there were misled ministers who hinder the apostolic and now they are being removed, and their dead work too. The apostolic comes to add to the restoration of the church not to establish another Christian religion. –(Acts 3:19-21)

However, Today I believe that one main goal of all true apostles is to begin an end to the religion of Christianity, and rise up the body of Christ to replace Christianity and to obey her destiny; it is the Lord Himself who will bring an end to all religions, this includes Christianity. Beside, all true apostles should leave Christianity and only be joined to the body of Christ. We can no longer belong to two fellowships; you are ether apart of the Body of Christ or the religion of Christianity.

Furthermore, the purpose of this article was to give terminology and definition to the apostolic so we can clearly see the apostolic vision for the church, our cities, and ourselves.
