Looking for a Church

Many of you from around the world, are looking for a church, yes many of you are faithful members of a church and above all the church. You are not alone, for the Lord Himself is seeking and waiting for a church. –(Zech. 4:6-10)

Just as Abraham was seeking and waiting for a city, which has foundations, whose builder and maker is God. Today churches have no foundations; the Lord wants churches to have foundations, congregations whose foundations are the apostles and prophets. The Lord wants congregations who are building by apostolic grace from Christ and are led by the Holy Spirit. –(Heb. 11:10,16)

First of all, the Holy Spirit will rise up the city church in many cities around the world; there is only one city church in each city, in every nation, that church is called the city church, the new apostolic city church shall arise under the leadership of apostles, there will be new apostolic city church networks, and there will be new apostolic city church centers, where there will be prayer, worship and prophetic watch, and ministry of church of the city will be centered and begin from this new center. This will be a new beginning, and a new level of city church, and some day we will have the mature city church, the end time church, which shall be full of glory, a glorious church. –(Rev. 21:2,9-10)

Second, the Holy Spirit will rise up the new apostolic congregation in many cities around the world, a congregation lead by apostles, a congregation with apostles, prophets, and teachers as the elders, a congregation where the foundation is the apostles and prophets, a congregation where the believers do the work of the ministry, a congregation where the spiritual leadership equips the believers for the work of the ministry, a congregation that fellowships and built relationships in their homes, and a congregation that flows in the gifts of the Spirit. –(1 Cor. 12:28)

Third, the Holy Spirit will rise up the new apostolic networks all over the world, networks of freedom and relationship that connects to one another building up the church around the world. –(Matt. 13:47)

Fourth, the Holy Spirit will raise the new apostolic church around the world in every city of every nation, and in every nation, and will fill the whole church around the world. –(Heb. 12:25-29)

Fifth, the Holy Spirit will raise up the marketplace church, which is the church in the marketplace; The marketplace church is the outreach of the city church, the new apostolic city church, the marketplace church is the outreach of the new apostolic congregation, and the marketplace church is the outreach of the new apostolic church around the world. The new apostolic marketplace church will arise as a force of change in the world around us. –(Rev. 5:10)

Furthermore, reformation, massive reformation is coming to the church around the world, the church in every city of every nation, and of every national church in every nation, revival, revivals and massive revivals is coming to the church in every city of every nation, is coming to every national church in every nation, revivals, massive revivals, and many revivals are coming to every city of every nation, and is coming to every nation around the world. Social transformation, many social transformations, massive social transformation, and waves of social transformation is coming to many cities and all cities in every nation, and is coming to many nations and all nations around the world. Harvest, many harvests, and massive harvests of the masses in many nations, and many cities around the world are coming and this is just the beginning of the Lord’s goodness and mercy. –(1 K. 18:41-46)

Biblical Fellowship

Biblical Fellowship

Elvis Iverson

Many have believe that church life is coming to a local congregation on Sunday hearing worship and then hearing a sermon, and then going home, some will even go to Wednesday night or even Friday. This seemed to be like going to some movie theater, you pay your tithes you hear a good movie then go home. –(Jam. 1:21-27, 2:14-26)

In addition, it seem the congregation is more a Movie Theater then church life. Now every believer has a ministry, however, they are in the service of the upkeep of the Sunday service, the theater church life. Yes we need those who will assist on Sunday morning aiding with the corporate service. –(1 Pet. 4:10-11, 2:4-10)

Corporate service is the place for the apostles, prophets and teachers to minister to the new apostolic congregation, however this is only a part of biblical fellowship. –(1 Cor. 12:28, Acts 13:1-3)

We need the home cell, we need the home church, we need the cell group, and the cell church. This is where the beginning of biblical fellowship begins. The pastoral care and the pastoral ministry are in the home cells. Jesus works in small groups to build relationships, and we are too built relationship with God and with one another in small groups; small groups are the beginning of church life. –(Rom. 16:5)

Small groups is not only the place for the ministry of the pastor, it is the beginning place of the believers ministry. Biblical fellowship is building on our relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ first and foremost, then to build relationship with follow believers in Christ. Meaning to love God then to love one another. –(Jn. 13:34-35)

We are to walk in the Light of Christ with one another, this is biblical fellowship, as we walk in the light of Christ, we are to believe for the blood of Jesus Christ to cleanses us from all sin; and biblical fellowship will aid you in your walk with Christ. –(1 Jn. 1:7, Jam. 5:13-18)

The early believers continued steadfastly in the teachings of the apostles, and fellowship, in eating together, and in prayer. This is biblical fellowship and if we have biblical fellowship we will see the fear of the Lord come upon every soul among us and around us, and many wonders and signs will come forth from the ministry of the apostles of today. –(Acts 2:42-43,46-47)

It is time to have church life, meaning a life of revival, a life of the supernatural, a life of walking and being led by the Holy Spirit, in the congregation, in the small groups, in the workplace, in our homes, and everyplace. Church life is not for Sunday only; it is for everyday of the week. –(Col. 3:16-17)

The theater church life is coming to an end, the congregation life is to be a center for equipping the saints for the work of the ministry, a place for ministries of the apostles, prophets, and teachers, a place for signs and wonders, and a place where the Holy Spirit outpours upon the believers, and the believers flow in prophecy, visions, signs, and the gifts of the Spirit, and the revival life. –(Acts 2:43, 1 Cor. 14:26-33)

The new apostolic congregation is the place for the gathering of the saints to hear the ministry of the apostles, Apostle Paul preach or teach about five hours, apostles would minister during long services, today we will see this in the new apostolic congregation. There will be no more half hour service, and no more one hour service, and there be no more 15 min. sermons, instead there will be teaching and preaching for hours at a time. –(Acts 20:7-12, Acts 14:1-7)
