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)
