The humility <strong>and</strong> wisdom to have received from previous moves <strong>of</strong> God<br />

Humility <strong>and</strong> wisdom to learn from history<br />

Hot coals being gathered into prepared wineskins<br />

Streams coming together to form a great river <strong>of</strong> life<br />

Last wave <strong>of</strong> revival preparatory for what we are about to see<br />

Dr. Cho’s prophecy <strong>and</strong> Ruth Ward Heflin’s vision for America<br />

1. There is a coming great division between those <strong>of</strong> the Spirit <strong>of</strong> God <strong>and</strong><br />

those <strong>of</strong> the Accuser <strong>of</strong> the Brethren.<br />

a. God is about to remove stumbling blocks to revival, souls, <strong>and</strong> those<br />

causing division<br />

b. The stronghold <strong>of</strong> religious witchcraft will come down in our region<br />

2. We will see a great shift in spiritual authority away from denomination<br />

politics to true Apostolic <strong>and</strong> Prophetic Biblical authority<br />

a. We will see a mighty violent move <strong>of</strong> the Spirit <strong>of</strong> God that usher’s in<br />

billions into the kingdom. The last wave was preparatory for what is<br />

coming.<br />

b. We are seeing the bride being made ready for Christ’s return<br />

3. Before Jesus comes a revival <strong>of</strong> all the fire that has ever been sown upon<br />

the earth gathered into one big ball <strong>of</strong> fire <strong>and</strong> will hit the earth<br />

a. Restoration <strong>of</strong> all aspects <strong>of</strong> Jesus’ ministry (salvation, healing, <strong>and</strong><br />

deliverance)<br />

b. Restoration <strong>of</strong> Christ’s government (Apostles <strong>and</strong> prophets)<br />

4. The Apostle (Moses) <strong>and</strong> the Prophet (Elijah)<br />

a. Evangelists are concerned with the beginning; apostles are devoted to the<br />

final result, the full maturity <strong>of</strong> the church.


. The apostolic ministry is especially devoted to seeing the church<br />

become the temple <strong>of</strong> the Lord….a dwelling place for God’s glory!<br />

Spiritual fathers (Paul to Timothy)<br />

Church <strong>and</strong> ministry planters (Paul’s churches)<br />

Help establish God’s government on the earth (authority <strong>and</strong> anointing)<br />

Has most likely seen the Lord literally at some point (testify <strong>of</strong> his<br />

resurrection 1Cor 9:1)<br />

Apostolic vision, revelation, <strong>and</strong> travail (Gal 4:19)<br />

Special messenger (m<strong>and</strong>ate with a message)<br />

Will function in all five <strong>of</strong>fices to some degree<br />

Signs <strong>and</strong> wonders follow their ministry<br />

Ephesians 4:11 ”So Christ himself gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the<br />

pastors <strong>and</strong> teachers, 12 to equip his people for works <strong>of</strong> service, so that the body <strong>of</strong><br />

Christ may be built up 13 until we all reach unity in the faith <strong>and</strong> in the knowledge <strong>of</strong> the<br />

Son <strong>of</strong> God <strong>and</strong> become mature, attaining to the whole measure <strong>of</strong> the fullness <strong>of</strong><br />

Christ.<br />

14<br />

Then we will no longer be infants, tossed back <strong>and</strong> forth by the waves, <strong>and</strong> blown<br />

here <strong>and</strong> there by every wind <strong>of</strong> teaching <strong>and</strong> by the cunning <strong>and</strong> craftiness <strong>of</strong> people in<br />

their deceitful scheming. 15 Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will grow to become in<br />

every respect the mature body <strong>of</strong> him who is the head, that is, Christ. 16 From him the<br />

whole body, joined <strong>and</strong> held together by every supporting ligament, grows <strong>and</strong> builds<br />

itself up in love, as each part does its work.”<br />

1) be adequately equipped for the ministry, 2) come “to the unity <strong>of</strong> the faith” (which<br />

is much more than just a unity around doctrine), 3) come to “the full knowledge <strong>of</strong> the<br />

Son <strong>of</strong> God,” 4) be raised “to a mature man to the measure <strong>of</strong> the stature which<br />

belongs to the fullness <strong>of</strong> Christ,” 5) “no longer be children” (or immature), 6) no<br />

longer be tossed about the waves, the winds <strong>of</strong> doctrine, <strong>and</strong> the trickery <strong>of</strong> men, <strong>and</strong><br />

7) “grow up in all aspects into” the Head. This is the apostolic commission, <strong>and</strong> it is far<br />

beyond human genius or ability. If we are going to be apostolic, our labor will not be<br />

finished until Christ is formed in His people <strong>and</strong> God has a dwelling place on earth.<br />

.<br />

5. Apostolic calling <strong>and</strong> commissioning<br />

a. We are called from birth (Romans 11:29)<br />

b. We are commissioned when we are ready (Acts 13)
