We have now coming to the time of reformation of the church of all things, this is the third reformation of the church, this is the whole reformation of the church, this is the great reformation of the church, the Lord commands reformation to all the church, and apostles and prophets are laying the foundation for reformation and reformation is laying the foundation for lasting revivals.

What is wrong with the Church? When I say what is wrong with the church, it is time to see through the eyes of the Holy Spirit in grace, love, Spirit, faith, and truth.

There are no apostles and no prophets, apostles and prophets are the foundation, if you don’t have apostles and prophets you don’t have foundation, it is apostles and prophets who are to lead the church through the Holy Spirit. –(Eph. 2:20, 1 Cor. 12:28)

Many churches do not have any gifts of the Spirit, churches are to be full of the gifts of the Spirit, every believer has a spiritual gift, and every believer is to flow in one of the gifts of the Spirit. Teachers teach on the gifts but there is no application, there is no liberty for the Gifts of the Spirit. –(1 Cor. 12)

No power of God, many believers don’t even walk in the power of God, and many churches don’t even flow in the power of God, even those churches who believe in the power of God in today don’t have an application and don’t flow in the power of God! –(MK. 16:17-18, 2 Tim. 3:5)

No believers in ministry, many believers had not been giving room to minister, and they don’t even have a ministry, where is the believer’s ministry, every believer is to know their gifts and have a ministry. –(Eph. 4:12, 1 Pet. 2:5,9)

No kings in the house of the Lord, many churches are not training kings, believers are called to be priests and they are called to be kings; it is time to raise up kings to change our cities. –(Rev. 1:6, 5:10)

Not enough unity in the church, is there unity among the believers in your city, is there unity among the spiritual leaders among the churches in your city? –(Eph. 4:13)

There is no vision of the City Church in many cities among the churches. There is only one church in each city, that church is called the city church, do you see the city church arising in your city? –(1 Cor. 1:2)

They’re too much of the old wineskins and not enough of the new wineskins in the church. –(LK. 5:36-39)

No biblical elders in the churches, congregation is to have biblical elders, which are apostles, prophets and teachers. –(1 Cor. 12:28, Acts 13:1-3)

No financial freedom in the church, the church needs to learn and crossover and make the changes to the freedom of grace giving. –(2 Cor. 8,9)

No relationship, or home church, relationship building begins in the church in your home, the home church is the beginning of biblical fellowship. –(Acts 2:46)

No discipleship and no maturity in the church, we need to establish a plan to disciple new believers, and then establish a pathway to maturity in the church. –(Heb. 5:12-14)

No vision of the future of the church, we need revelation teaching of the future of the church and the church in the end times. –(Eph. 5:27)

There needs to be a restoration and understanding and application of the Sabbath, the feasts of the Lord and the Torah. –(Col. 2:16)

No vision for Israel, the church needs a vision of the future of Israel. –(Rom. 9, 11, 10:1)

No revelation of the Kingdom of God. We need the revelation and understanding of the truth of the Kingdom of God and an application of the Kingdom of God. –(LK. 17:21)

No deliverance ministry in the church, believers need to go through deliverance, they need to know how to cast out demons, and we need to begin casting out demons, not letting them live in comfort among us. –(MK. 16:17-18)

There is no such thing as the one-man rule, there is no such thing has the senior pastor, pastors do not lead the church, we need biblical elders, and apostles. –(3 Jn 9-12, 1 Cor. 12:28)

The fires of reformation will be outpoured around the world upon the church, this is the day of great reformation in the church, and there is no comparing with the last reformation, this is the third reformation of the Church, the reformation of the whole church, and the reformation of all things in the church. This reformation will lay the foundation for revivals, many revivals, revival movements, lasting revivals, massive revivals, and resting revivals and the revival life. –(Heb. 12:25-29)

The Lord is bring connections together throughout the church He is establishing apostolic spectrums, prophetic spectrums, revival spectrums, healing spectrums, deliverance spectrums, and reformation spectrums, etc. these spectrums are not just for sharing of information, instead for fellowship and relationship. –(Acts 15:5)

The Lord has shown me that He is rising up a company around the world for reformers; this company is not a huge company it is a company of a certain number, however the Lord shown me that He is raising up a revivalists company that is more then the company of reformers. –(Rev. 4,5)

The company of reformers will not agree on every thing, however those things that they agree upon the church will be built upon. In addition, these reformers will have the Spirit of reformation, a river and anointing from the Holy Spirit. They will seek to grow in relationship and fellowship with each reformer, and with one another in the fires of reformation. –(Matt. 3:8-12)

The Spirit of Reformation is truth, grace, love, meekness, and patience. The Spirit of Reformation is not hate, is not pride, is not forceful, is not controlling, is not legalism, and is not religious. –(Jn. 1:14,16,17, Eph. 4:15, Col. 4:6, 1 Pet. 3:15)

The Lord will establish a reformation spectrum between the reformers; this spectrum is a connection of community, continuity, continuum, composition, communication of reformation truth and vision with relationship building and on going fellowship in grace, truth, love and humility. –(Matt. 19:28)

The Need for a Pastor

The Need for a Pastor

Elvis Iverson
http://www.elvisiverson.com

The need for pastor changes as you mature in Christ, we need proper teaching of spiritual maturity so that there is foundation, and that there is continue spiritual growth in Christ and in the body of Christ. –(Heb. 5:12-14, 6:1-2)

We grow as believers in Christ from babes, to children, then to young people, and then become fathers. We are called to be fathers, and then there are fathers of the faith, which are the apostles. We need apostolic fathers in the church once again. To lay the foundation for spiritual maturity, and to raise up fathers, and lead the fathers. –(1 Jn. 2:12-14)

There is maturity as a believers, and then there maturity in the gifts, both are needed, maturity in the gifts is for function and for the edification of the church, and maturity as a believer is for character and your witness. –(2 Pet. 3:18, Rom. 12:4)

Apart from that, the ministry of the pastor is for the home church, the church in the home, not for the center equipping house, Pastors are to feed, care and love the sheep. Their ministry is more for babes and the children, then after that we need the pastoral ministry for love and care that the Lord have giving them. –(Rom. 16:5,10)

The church in the home, is the church meeting, the center equipping house is for the ministry meeting, it is the ministry of the apostle, prophet and teacher. Today most pastors of local churches are not pastors, instead they are teachers, however there is no such thing as a one man ministry, we need the plural elders, with a set man who leads by vision and is cooperation, coherence, continuity with the elders, but has the last word. The apostles, prophets, teachers are the leading elders, and however, pastors are to ministry and their ministry is in the home church. –(1 Cor. 12:28)

Apart from that, when you’re a spiritual babe, or a spiritual children in the church you need more the ministry of pastors and teachers, but as you grow into young men or toward fathers you need the ministry of apostles and prophets, yes all need the ministry of pastors, all need the ministry of teachers, all need the ministry of prophets, and all need the ministry of apostles. –(Eph. 3:5)

However, the need for a pastor changes as you mature in Christ, in order to maintain growth and to continue to mature you need the ministry of the apostles, and the ministry of the prophets. And spiritual fathers need the ministry of the apostles to lead them, and they need both the ministry of the apostles and prophets to maintain growth and to continue to mature, for we will always grow and always mature in Christ. –(Eph. 3:5)

The need for the five-fold ministry will change in the future when we come to the unity of the faith, knowledge of the Son of God, to a mature man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ. In the Tabernacle of Moses, when you enter the holy place, where there is the Table of Showbread, the Altar of Incense, the golden Lampstand, there are five pillars of acacia wood, meaning the five-fold ministry. Most of the history of the church has be in the outer court where the Bronze Laver is, and the Altar of Burnt offering, soon the day will come when we will enter pass the five pillars of acacia wood into the holy place, and then some day we will come when we will enter into the Most Holy Place. When we pass through the five pillars of acacia wood the need for the five-fold ministry will change. I don’t know what kind of change it will be, but the way we relate and their service toward us will change. –(Eph. 4:11-16)

Furthermore, maturity as a believer and maturity in the gifts, maturity on a personal level and maturity on a corporate level, maturity is the will of Christ, maturity is the will of the Father, and maturity is the will of the Holy Spirit, and maturity should be your will and your congregation’s will. –(Eph. 4:13-15)

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)

Personal Reformation

Personal Reformation

Elvis Iverson
http://www.elvisiverson.com

Reformation has already begun; this is a time of reformation that has begun. This time of reformation will come to the whole church around the world. I see a vision of angels released in such as a time as this; they are flying over the church around the world, releasing reformation fires upon the church. –(Heb. 9:10)

The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of reformation, and there is beginning an outpouring of the Spirit of reformation upon the Church, the Holy Spirit is the Spirit of Revival and there is coming great outpourings of revival upon the Church. Reformation is laying the foundations for revivals, massive revivals, habitational revival, lasting revivals, and the resting glory of the Lord. –(Jer. 1:10)

There are some who are crying reformation, who are shouting reformation, however they do not have Spirit of Reformation, for true reformation comes with love, grace, patience, and the anointing of the Holy Spirit. –(1 Cor.14: 26, Eph. 4:15)

As reformation comes to the Church on a corporate level, reformation will come on a personal level; from corporate reformation comes personal reformation to you and me. –(Isa. 1:16-20)

We are to pray for corporate reformation to come to the church, we are to be praying for massive corporate reformation to come to the city church, national church and the global church, and we are to pray for personal reformation to come to us. –(MK. 11:11-26)

Apply the process of personal reformation with these sample steps, personal reformation is renewing our minds, and our ways of faith in grace, and anointing. As we change our mindsets, renewing our minds and changing the ways of church on a personal level, we will see the fruits of reformation and the fries of reformation in our lives. –(Matt. 4:17,Rom. 12:2, Heb. 12:25-29)

Process of personal reformation:

· Pray for personal reformation, pray for grace of personal reformation, pray for the Spirit of reformation, and pray for your heart to be filled with love.

The Vision of Reformation

The Vision of Reformation

Elvis Iverson
http://www.elvisiverson.com

We can foresee by the prophetic and by the Holy Scriptures with revelation seeing the vision of reformation, what kind of reformation that is coming, yes this reformation has already begun, it first begun as a lamb, soon it will become a lion and then it will become a horse, this reformation is a work of becoming pure gold, pearls, and precious stones. Reformation is a work of the holy fire of God from the Holy Spirit. –(Mal. 3:2-3, Matt. 3:8-12,1 Cor. 3:5-17,Heb. 12:25-29, Rev. 21:9-21, Rev. 3:14-22)

We have already entered into the Third reformation, this is called the new apostolic reformation, this is called the reformation of the church, the reformation of all of Christianity, and this is the great reformation. The face of the church will change in one generation. What we think is church will not be church, the church now and the church that is coming is a whole new picture of glory and unity. –(Heb. 9:10)

The reasons why we need reformation; we need reformation for unity to come more and mature unity to come, new wineskins that can connected and have unity and hold the new wines of the Spirit, and hold the power and glory of God, to lay foundation for the end time church, to lay the foundation for revivals and lasting revivals, to become more like the church that Jesus wants. –(Matt. 7:15-29)

Many Christians groups will come to an end, all denominations will come to an end, the apostolic church which, is the church of the third reformation will arise as a pillar of fire that will consume as a consuming fire the whole of Christianity and fill the church. The Church shall become the apostolic church, for the church is the apostolic church. –(Heb. 12:25-29)

The congregations and companies that pass through the fires of reformation will have unity and oneness among them. Reconciliation will come, then unity will come, and then we will enter into oneness. –(Eph. 2:19-22, 3:14-21, 4:13-16, 5:26-27)

Every one who names the name of Christ, every congregation that names the name of Christ, every group that names the name of Christ, and the whole church, and the whole of Christianity will be place and pass through the fires of reformation, many will be burn up, and there will be those who pass through and become more pure. These ones that pass through all the way shall fill the whole earth. –(Matt. 3:12,1 Cor. 3:11-15)

Reformation vision of laying the foundations of the apostles and prophets, arising up the new apostolic church, arising up the new apostolic city church, establishing the marketplace church, the church full of the gifts of the Spirit and all spiritual gifts. The believers will do the work of the ministry. An outpouring of signs, wonders, power of God, prophesy, visions and dreams, laying the foundation for revivals and lasting revivals. –(Phil. 4:9)

The bishops and administers will no longer lead the Church; instead Apostles and Prophets shall lead the Church. –(1 Cor. 12:28, Eph. 2:20, 3:5)

The Apostolic Church will fill the whole church around the world, and unity will come, and this unity will increase, and glory will increase, and harvests will increase, until the point of giving birth to the Kingdom Church, which is the mature City Church; the end times church of glory and holiness. –(Eph. 4:13,5:27)

There are five reformations of the church that the Lord as revealed to me; the first was the reformation of the New Testament Church, the second reformation was the Protestant Reformation, the Third Reformation is the New Apostolic Reformation, the fourth reformation is the Kingdom Church Reformation, and the fifth reformation of the Church is the Eternal Reformation. –(Amos 3:7-8, Prov. 29:18)

In the Third Reformation the Lord will set the church free from religion, free from the Christian religion, freedom from Christianity, the church will be free and become the Bride of Christ, and the city of God around the world, and reconnect, and realign to the Kingdom of God. –(Eccl. 7:8, Heb. 6:12)

The Church has been going through restoration; we are coming to the end of the restoration of the priesthood, the mark of this is the third reformation the great reformation of the church, the reformation of all things in the church. Just as the church when through restoration of all things in the church, now the church will enter into the reformation of all things in the church. This is the beginning of end of the restoration of the priesthood, and the beginning of the restoration of the kings of the Kingdom. –(Acts 3:19,21, Heb. 9:10)

Reformation has already begun, now it is time for you to have personal reformation. Take hold of the thesis of reformation, come to true repentance and renew your mind by the Holy Scriptures, prayer and the Holy Spirit. –(Matt. 3:1-12,4:16-17)

Biblical Fellowship

Biblical Fellowship

Elvis Iverson
http://www.elvisiverson.com

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)

In this third reformation a greater outreach will be establish that will lead to the fulfillment of the great commission and massive social transformation. Among the congregations within a city is a greater outreach that only few can see this outreach, this outreach is the key to change our world. It is the key to the fulfillment of the great commission and massive social transformation; this outreach is called the workplace. –(Rev. 11:15)

The width of the Church is the Marketplace Church, the length of the church is the apostolic church, the depth of the church is the Koinonia Church, and the height of the church is the City Church. –(Eph. 3:14-21)

The outreach of the City Church is the workplace, is the church in the workplace. This is why there must be alliance between church apostles and marketplace apostles, or you can say workplace apostles, along with prophets. The leadership of the City Church is city apostles and among them are marketplace apostles that have been called to be city church apostles. –(Prov. 29:18)

The purpose of the Church is to be the bride of Christ, ambassadors of the Kingdom of God, and the Priesthood of the Kingdom of God, the church is the city built on the Great Mountain that is filling the whole earth, which is the Kingdom of God. The Church is limited within their giving purpose however the Kingdom of God is growing everywhere, is in your hearts, and is manifested through you. To move in the purposes of the Church you must be a priest, and to move in the Kingdom you must be a king. –(1 Pet. 2:5,9, Rev. 1:6, 5:10)

The five grace ministries of Christ are to equip the saints for the work the ministry, which is the priestly ministry of the church. The Apostles, both church apostles and marketplace apostles are to raise up believers to their calling in the Kingdom as kings. –(Eph. 4:12, Acts 6:1-8)

The Kingdom of God will come in Jerusalem, in Israel, in all cities and in all nations; this is a progress leading up to the return of Christ. The Kingdom of God has already came and begun to fill the earth since the day Jesus seated on His Throne right next to His Father. The Kingdom of God grows throughout the world in every nation and in every city, and the Kingdom of God will fill the whole earth. –(LK. 19:11-27, Dan. 2:34-35,44-45)

The End Times is a time of the glorious Church, fullness of the City Church, and beginning of the fullness of the Kingdom of God. These reasons are why the outreach of your congregation and the church of your city is the workplace. It is through the workplace the Kingdom of God will fill the Earth, As the Kingdom of God fills the Earth the Church will grow and increase more, but the Kingdom of God will be greater then the church. The Church is the heart of the Kingdom of God, and the believers in the workplace are the ones who will manifest the Kingdom of God and bring social transformation. –(Hab. 2:2-3)

The Holy Spirit is speaking to the Church; pray that you have ears to hear what He is saying; a hearing hear will lead to an overcoming life, and a hearing ear will lead to revelation faith. Hear the Holy Spirit speaking through prophets and apostles about reformation and revival in the church. The Holy Spirit is rising up apostles and prophets of reformation and revival; reformation will lay the foundation for revivals, lasting revivals and habitational revivals to come. –(Heb. 9:10)

Word revelation and prophetic revelation is coming through apostles and prophets to create environment for revivals, supernatural, gifts of the Spirit, power of God, manifestations of the Holy Spirit, manifest presence of God, and resting glory. –(Eph. 3:5)

God’s glory will fill the church then overflow into the nations of the earth, we who are apostles and prophets must hear from the Holy Spirit in how to build a wineskin, or you can say wine skins that can hold such glory that is coming, and yes His glory is truly coming, I have seen in visions and revelations. –(Ex 25:9, 1 Chron. 22:19, 28:11-12, 2 Chron. 3:1)

Today we have many congregations and many groups that deny the power of God; this is a doctrine of demons that they believe. These congregations and groups are no longer in the favor of God and have been mark for burning fire to come and burn them away. –(2 Tim. 3:5)

We need revelation and on going revelation and increasing revelation, and wisdom of God to build and prepare the way for glory and revival. We must be led through the Holy Spirit to build on the city church level, and on the congregation level; then is so much a divine need to pray, pray, pray for revelation and to pray for building and preparing of the Spirit for the coming revivals and glory. –(1 Cor. 2:6-16, 3:10)

Revivals will come to every city, every nation and to every place, revival will come the way of life for the church. The Christian life will be a life of revival, and a life of signs and wonders. The Holy Spirit is giving prophetic revelations and visions of the revivals and the glory that is coming. A vision for the church that will be filled with revivals and glory! –(Ezek. 1)

We by the grace of the Lord, through much prayer will create environment and reconstruction our spiritual houses, congregations and the city church in away for lasting revivals to rest and come upon. –(Amos 9:11-12)

Reformation is the fire of God burning all groups, congregations, churches, ministries, and every believer’s heart, and those ones that are more according to the ways of the Lord for they will too be place through the fires of reformation. Even as a believer you must pray for personal reformation, for corporate reformation to the whole church, and personal reformation will come to every believer. –(Acts 3:19)

Through revelation we can create environment for the power of God and signs and wonders. We are to witness and flow in the power of God every day of our life, can I have an amen to that brothers and sisters! –(MK. 16:17-18)

Helpful revelational and visionary ideals to create environment for the power of God: 1. Apostles and prophets are the foundation, senior leaders of the congregation, and the city church. 2. Create environment according to First Corinthians 12, 13, and 14. 3. The Church is to be multi ministry, body ministry. 4. The Church must be a house of prayer, worship and prophetic ministry. 5. The City Church centers must establish where there is 24/7 prayer, worship, and prophetic watch. 6. The saints must be equipped to walk in healing, signs and wonders and the power of God. 7. We must hear what the Holy Spirit is saying to the Prophets and pray for application of the prophetic words. –(Isa. 28:13)

The saints need to be equipped in the work of Ministry, gifts of the Spirit, healing, casting out demons, and prophetic gifting. All believers should flow in the power of God; flow in the supernatural, all believers should have Word revelation and prophetic revelation, all believers should flow in the gift of prophecy, visions and dreams, and signs and wonders. –(MK. 16:17-18, Jn. 14:12-14, Acts 2:17-18)

We must rise up within our cities and among our congregations healing ministries, and deliverance ministries. We must rise up supernatural teams they flow in spiritual gifting an extreme ways in faith and love. Those gifted in prophetic gifts, anointed in deliverance ministry, gifting in prayer ministry, and healing ministry in extreme ways need to be brought together in forming supernatural teams that minister in our congregations and cities under apostolic and prophetic oversight. –(1 Cor. 12:4-6)

The Power of God, signs and wonders and the Supernatural in the Holy Spirit will become every day life in the lives of ever believer that believes in the Power of God. –(1 Cor. 2:4-5)

Signs of an Apostasy Church

Elvis Iverson
http://www.elvisiverson.com

What are the factors and characteristics of an apostasy church? First and foremost we have come to a day when all these factors of the apostasy church will be totality and finality burn away from the church. –(Heb. 12:25-29)

In the first of the days church was the beginning, this church was not prefect or mature, the church in the future will be even be greater and more mature then the church in the Book of Acts. –(Eph. 5:26-27, 4:13)

The Church in history after the time of the first days of the church went through a time of apostasy, which is called the great apostasy of the church, the great falling away. Then the day cane when the church was set free from the apostasy church, and enter into times of restoration however, some of the factors of an apostasy church still remain in the church today. Through this third reformation, all these factors will be burn up and the apostolic church will arise. –(Heb. 9:10)

An apostasy church is the opposite of an apostolic church or the apostolic church. The third reformation will be as a fire burning throughout the church, however we must move forth in this reformation with humility, love, patience, love, and truth. –(Eph. 4:15)

Here are some of the factors of an apostasy church:

Pray for the Lord to rise up the Apostolic Church in your city and pray for the Lord to rise up the city church to the next level.

Reconstruction of the Church part three

Reformation, restoration, revival, repentance, reconciliation, regeneration, and redemption are all words meaning return, and to restore what was, however what the Holy Spirit is doing He is restoring the Church truly, and He is building the church to be even more greater then in the Book of Acts. –(Matt. 16:18)

Nevertheless, it is reformation, restoration to what God the Father sees, what Jesus Christ the Son of God, which is our Lord sees, and what the Holy Spirit sees, and their vision and plan for the church, so it is restoration, so it is reformation. –(Ex 25:9)

In this holy reformation there is coming revolution between God’s vision for the church and man’s vision for the church, between the old and the new, between the nature of man church and the supernatural church. This will be a revolution of grace, love, patience, and truth. This revolution is only apart in the process and progress of this holy reformation, which is the third reformation of the church. The follow chapter will be a reconstruction of the Church. –(Heb. 9:10)

Unfortunately, today’s church we only have the one-person man, is not the one new man ministry, instead this is the one rulership ministry of human wisdom. This begun through the deeds of Diotrephes, this is one of the elements of the apostasy church. There is no place in congregation environment where the senior leader was a pastor. Pastors are cell home leaders, they are not first in the order of church government. Pastors are apart of the ministry of the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ. The congregation is lead by a team of elders with a leading elder leading them. This leading elder is an apostle. Pastoral epistles is not Pastoral Epistles instead they are Apostolic Epistles. Timothy and Titus are apostles not pastors. –(1 Thess. 2:6-11)

We must create environment in our congregations for the multi ministry, body ministry, spiritual gifts, prophetic ministry, and the supernatural. We can see this revelation in First Corinthians 12, 13, 14. We are to create this environment through teaching the Holy Scriptures, Word revelation, and prophetic revelation. The congregation must be environment for the supernatural, mentoring, fathering, rising, activation and maturating of spiritual gifts. The congregation must be environment for freedom, liberty, revival, supernatural, manifestation of the Holy Spirit and order; this order is laid down through revelation. –(1 Cor. 12, 13, 14)

Believers are called to be priests, the church is the priesthood of the Kingdom of God, and the saints are to be equipped for the work of the ministry. Every believer has a ministry; every believer has a spiritual gift, every believer has a function and a place in the congregation and the Body of Christ. –(Eph. 4:12, 1 Pet. 2:5, 9)

After a believer have been through discipleship, they are to be equipped and raised up in their spiritual gifts, they are to be place with others with same spiritual gifting in order to learn from one another, and they to be place with those who are more mature in the same gifting in order to mentor them. –(1 Jn. 2:12-14)

Apart from that, the apostles are to rise up the king for the Kingdom, every believer is called to be a king, every believer is called to the work of the Kingdom, and we need prophets to impart into the lives of the kings of the Kingdom of Christ. –(Rev. 1:6, 5:10, Acts 6:1-8)

The five ministries of Christ are to equip the saints for the work of the ministry, and apostles are rising up kings to change the world in the workplace and the marketplace. –(Eph. 4:11-12, Acts 6:1-8)

In the congregation we must raise up those with gifts of healing, working of miracles for the local congregational healing ministry, we are to rise up those anointed in deliverance for the local congregational deliverance ministry. We are to rise up intercessors for the local congregational prayer ministry, we are to raise up those anointed for evangelism for the local congregational evangelism ministry, etc. –(1 Pet. 4:7-11)

In additional, we are to train and mentor those called into the five ministries of grace, and we are train and rise up home cell leaders, etc. –(Matt. 4:19)

Some congregations may not have every kind of ministry, this could be an opportunity to lean on other congregations within your city, Christ is calling us to be one another congregations working and leaning on one another in Christ. One may be blessed with a healing ministry and the other with a deliverance ministry; one will lean on other congregation for healing ministry and the other will lean on another congregation for deliverance, etc. –(Phil. 2:1-11)

As we move to the next transition for the city church, some ministries will be place to minister at the city level, and for the service of the city church. Congregations will rise up ministries to minister and serve the city church and city. –(Gal. 5:13-14)

All believers should be equipped to pray, witness, cast out demons and heal the sick, and flow in prophecy, visions and dreams. –(MK. 16:17-18)

Moreover, there are those who will rise up in prophetic gifts and the gift of the prophet, they will be for the local congregational prophetic ministry. Season prophets, mature prophets and prophetic elders will lead and supervises the local congregational prophetic ministry and oversee the prophetic and supernatural manifestation of the whole congregation, and during corporate services. –(1 Cor. 14:26-33)

Apart from that, the city church will have a prophetic ministry, and there will be city church prophets that will minister at city church level. –(1 Cor. 12:4-6)

In addition, the local congregation leadership is first a team of elders, these are not only season ministers, instead they are mature ministers, and this team of elders is lead by an apostle. There could be more then two apostles serving with the team of elders and following the senior leader, the set apostle. The order among the elders is first apostles, second prophets, and the third teachers, and then others will follow. There is unity and openness among the elders. Within the congregation there may be other apostles, prophets, teachers, evangelists, and pastors. –(1 Cor. 12:28, Acts 13:1)

Above all the Holy Spirit wants the congregation to move into body ministry instead of a one-person rule ministry. Body ministry is a congregation becoming multi-ministry in the corporate anointing. –(Psa 133)

There is coming in the Body of Christ a strong sense of unity that will build into more deeps of unity. Unity is biblical and it’s the will of Christ for the Church, it is the order of God, it is the government of the church, and the pathway to the Kingdom of God. –(Psa. 133)

Apart of the reconstruction of the church is going to the next stage of city church, right now many city churches are at pastoral unity, however soon we will mature unto apostolic unity. Unity in vision, unity in prayer, worship, and prophetic watch is coming to many city churches around the world. Every believer and church leader must step upon the step of unity to move on to greater levels with Christ. –(1 Cor. 1:10)

Unity is coming, however for unity to come there must be a reformation of unity. So many churches and church leaders don’t believe in the church coming into the fullness of unity, which is the unity of the faith, which is the mature city church. In our time I don’t think we will see the mature city church, instead the next stage of city church. –(Matt. 16:18-19, 18:18-20)

A reformation of unity is coming; it is apart of the third reformation of the church, which is also called the new apostolic reformation. A reformation of unity is coming in a strong sense of unity in the hearts of many believers around the world, unity will be renewed in our minds, for unity is biblical, meaning biblical unity, there will come more increase common bond and common ground among Christians. Christians will seem as together instead of divided by so many differences, and our differences is what will bring us together. The Church will become like Christ in His image and likeness, and this is the unity that is coming. In addition, we will go to the next stage of the city church. –(Eph. 4:16)

In this holy reformation there are waves of reformation; the wave of church government, and structure, a wave of equipping the saints for the work of the ministry, and believers doing the work of the ministry, a wave of signs and wonders, a waves of harvests of souls, a wave of foundations for revivals and lasting revivals, and the believers entering into the workplace ministry, and a reformation of unity. –(Heb. 9:10)

There is only one church in every city, called the city church. There are many congregations, and each of them has many home cells. The city church is a network of congregations, and the congregation is a network of home cells. There will be a city church alliances forming a city church networks, lead by city church apostles, and there will be a city church center where there will be 24/7 prayer, worship and prophetic watch. This next stage will build environment for lasting revivals, and habitational revival to come and dwell among the city church, rest upon the city church in our cities. –(Rev. 1-4)

Today there is too much division over doctrinal issues and ethnic issues, congregations are more divided over ethnic issues then doctrinal issues. These are all masks of hated, pride, strife, envy, and selfish ambition, those who divided the church are not the friends of Christ, are not the friends of the bridegroom, instead they are spiritual wolfs, goats, swine, and dogs. The Holy Spirit dwells in the hearts of believes by faith, however He will not rest upon congregations that don’t love one another. Unity is loving one another sample as that, when we misjudge the church we bring judghement upon ourselves. –(Phil. 2:1-11)

Do you know believers in other congregations within your city, do you have relationship with believers in other congregations, and is it a real relationship? Do you fellowship outside your own group mindsets? –(Jn. 13:34-25)

The Holy Spirit is doing a work in our hearts to come together not only in center meeting, in addition in fellowship in coffee houses in love, prayer, and the Word. I believe this will bring a revival of love. We have seen a move of faith, we have seen a move of hope, now we shall see a move of love, and then there will be a move of all three; faith, hope and love which is a move of the supernatural. –(1 Cor. 12, 13, 14)

Reconstruction of the Church part one

Reconstruction of the Church part one

Elvis Iverson
http://www.elvisiverson.com

We have already enter into the time of reformation when the church will be reconstructed to the Word of God, Nature of Christ, Order of God, the Will of God, and of the ways of the Holy Spirit. This reformation is the third reformation; this is a reformation of all things in the church. –(Heb. 9:10)

The first reconstruction of the church will be the reconstruction to relationship; for most of the history of the church has been without relationship, we have be building outside of relationship, and our fellowships are not base on relationship, and therefore we have been in a famine of relationship and love for some time, this has open the door for certain things to enter the church. –(1 Jn. 1:1-10)

We must build the walls and the gates, the walls are called salvation and the gates are called praise. Christ is the King of kings and Lord of lords over His Kingdom and He is the Head and Chief Apostle over the whole church and all apostles, prophets and leaders. He is building two houses; one is the Kingdom of God, the other is the Church. The foundation of the Church is the Apostles and Prophets, and Jesus Christ is the Chief Cornerstone. The Church is build upon the Kingdom of God; the Church is a city build at the top of the Kingdom of God. The foundation of the Kingdom of God is the Rock of Christ, the Rock of Christ grow into a great mountain, which is called the Kingdom of God. We must know the purpose of the Church and the purpose of the Kingdom; the Church is the priesthood of the Kingdom of God, we are at the beginning of end of restoration of the priesthood and the priest, now we are entering into the beginning of the restoration of the kings of the Kingdom. This is why we have enter into this reformation, and God will use apostles in this holy reformation, and He will use apostles is rising up the kings of His Kingdom. The next steps are the equipping of the saints and then the step of rising of the kings of the Kingdom. –(Rev. 1:5-6, 5:10, 1 Pet. 2:5,9)

We lead people to Christ; then we lead them away from Christ! Living for Christ is ongoing relationship with Him; through our so-called Churchianity we have been leading them away. We must establish young believers in their relationship with Christ and their relationship with one another. First and foremost the church must be build on relationship and then revelation. Relationship is living in the love of Christ and loving one another, then relationship is the doorway for revelation to flow in our lives; revelation is truth and Grace. –(Matt. 22:37-39, Deut. 6:5, Jn. 13:34-35, Gal. 5:14)

When a believer comes to know Christ they are a babe, as they grow they become children, and then young men, and from their they become fathers, or you can say mature believers. Milk is for babes and children. We are feed the lamps, and then we are to feed the sleep with the meat of the Word. The meat of the Word is for young men and fathers or you can say mature believers. –(Heb. 5:12-14)

When a person comes to know Christ they need to be discipleship; which is the teaching of the elementary principles of Christ and reaching a point when a person can stand on their two own feet as a believer in Christ. Today we have many who cannot stand on their two own feet. How can they stand after all they have done if we do not first establish them in the elementary principles of faith? –(Matt. 28:19-20)

A congregation is the network of home cells. Home cells are the place where we build relationship. After babes in Christ pass through the door of discipleship, then they need to enter into a fellowship of believers in a home cell. A home cell is the place where there is relationship, ministry of the gifts of the Spirit, caring for one another, eating together, and praying for one another. –(Acts 2:42, 46)

This is why home cell leaders must be train, they must work in a team, and every thing in a congregation must be done in teams. Home Cell leaders carry the function of pastors to the congregation, and leadership is raised up among the home cell leaders. The need for a pastor changes; babes and children need a pastor to feed and care for them more, however young men and mature believers don’t need a pastor like babes and children do, instead they need a pastor for fellowship, prayer, and encouragement. Children are equipped, young men are mentor and father. After one goes through discipleship they are to be equipped for the work of the ministry. The saints are to do the work of the ministry the five-fold ministry is to equip the saints, apostles and prophets are the foundation of the church, the first and second in church government, and the apostles, prophets and teachers are to minister in work of the government of the church. –(Eph. 4:11-12, 1 Cor. 12:28)

The Home Cells are for relationship, fellowship, prayer, encouragement, and accountability. The congregation is for corporate worship, vision, equipping, and apostolic and prophetic ministry. Apostles, prophets and teachers minister within the whole of the congregation. An apostle is the senior elder of a congregation, along with other apostles, prophets, and teachers. The leadership of the whole congregation is mature ministers, which are called elders. A congregation is when home cells come together for corporate ministry. –(1 Cor. 12:28)

The Prophets are speaking; the Holy Spirit is moving in the hearts of the prophets. The Holy Spirit is speaking from the mouths of the prophets speaking with anointing to many mountains.

A revelation of faith is coming in the hearts of many believers around the world; a kind of faith that will remove mountains, a kind of faith that will bring breakthroughs, and lasting breakthroughs.

The Holy Spirit through the prophets is speaking to the mountain of eschatology; tremble and melt at the presence of the Lord.

The Holy Spirit is speaking to through the mouths of the prophets; speaking to the mountain of theology becomes a plain before the church and the Kingdom.

The Holy Spirit is speaking from the hearts of the prophets; speaking to the mountain of ecclesiology is overturn by your roots.

The Holy Spirit is speaking from the gates of the prophets to the mountain of secularism be made waste before the eyes of my people and the eyes of the world.

The Holy Spirit is speaking let all mountains that stand against the Kingdom of God and the Church be cast into the seas of holy fires. Let the mountains that are not planted by the Lord be rooted up and cast into the seas of holy fires.

In a vision the mountain of the Lord grows throughout the world. This mountain is the Rock of Christ, it the Kingdom of God. At the top of the huge mountain is a city of God, it is the city church, and it is the Body of Christ.

In a vision precious stones of truth and of faith are lay before, the feet of the saints of the Host High. These are truths and faith that we walk upon in the city of our God. The revelation of Jesus Christ brings together and brings order to all these truths and faith, and love of Christ holds them all together in our hearts.

A strong sense of unity is coming in the hearts of many believers and many leaders of the church. A vision of unity is being birth in the hearts of many believers and the corporate anointing is growing, covering and flowing through many believers around the world.

The Kingdom of God will grow, increase, progress, process move in our generation and our life then any other time before this time, and from our time they will be greater increases until the Kingdom of God fills the whole earth and all kingdoms will become the Kingdoms of Christ.

The Church will mature, grow, increase, become greater then any other time in the history of the church, and from this time the church will grow, increase, and mature in greater ways.

The Holy Spirit is speaking to your lives, speaking to the mountains in your lives, and He is speaking to the mountains; melt at the presence of the Lord, and be rooted up and cast into the seas of holy fires. Let the Kingdom of God grow, and increase in your lives more and more then ever before, and let you mature; grow along with the growth and maturity of the church, and the increase of the Kingdom of God.

The Holy Spirit and the prophets speak and shout grace, grace, grace, grace, and grace to your lives.
