SHADOW OF THINGS THAT HAS COME! 

THE BOOK OF ACTS OF THE APOSTLE IS A REFELTATION OF THE SUBSTANCE THAT HAS COME TO MANIFEST AS A PATTERN OF THE HEAVENLY TEMPLE. THE LIFE AND APOSTOLIC MINISTRY OF THE PAUL AND THE REST OF HIS COMPANY ARE A MIRROR OF WHAT THE FATHER DESIRES TO REFLECT FOR THEIR GENERATION, AND SO SHOULD WE IN OUR TIME.

HEBREWS 8:5

THE PLACE WHERE THEY SERVE IS A COPY AND SHADOW OF WHAT IS IN HEAVEN. THIS IS WHY MOSES WAS WARNED WHEN HE WAS ABOUT TO BUILD THE TABERNACLE: "SEE TO IT THAT YOU MAKE EVERYTHING ACCORDING TO THE PATTERN SHOWN YOU ON THE MOUNTAIN."

HEBREWS 7:25

THEREFORE, HE IS ABLE TO SAVE COMPLETELY C THOSE WHO COME TO GOD THROUGH HIM, BECAUSE HE ALWAYS LIVES TO INTERCEDE FOR THEM.

PRAYER IS A KEY REFLECTION OF OUR PRIESTHOOD, AND IT IS THE VEHICLE OF THE SPIRIT THAT TRANSPORTS US TO HEAVEN'S PROPHETIC AGENDA FOR THE REDEMPTION OF MAN AND CREATION.

THE NATURE OF THE SEASON WE'VE BEEN USHERED INTO DEMANDS WE KEENLY UNDERSTAND THE NATURE AND DYNAMICS OF PRAYER LIFESTYLE. A LIFESTYLE THAT CONTINUES TO ASCEND UNTO THE MOUNTAIN OF REPRESENTATION.

AS WE CONTINUE TO TRACK THE CURRENT EMPHASIS OF THE FATHER FOR US TO ADVANCE FORWARD, WE SHOULD BE REMEMBERING THAT WE CAN ONLY MOVE FORWARD TO THE DEGREE WE INTERACT IN THE SPIRIT OF PRAYER AND INTERCESSION.

AMOS 9:11

“IN THAT DAY I WILL RESTORE DAVID’S FALLEN SHELTER—I WILL REPAIR ITS BROKEN WALLS AND RESTORE ITS RUINS—AND WILL REBUILD IT AS IT USED TO BE…

DEALING FALSE POSITIONS, DOCTRINE, AND WITCHCRAFT IN THE BODY OF CHRIST.

THE GOSPEL OF CHRIST IS A GOSPEL OF AUTHORITY, POWER, AND DOMINION OVER EVERY DEMONIC FORCES. WORKING IN THE INSTRUCTION AND DIRECTION OF THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD ALLOWS US TO EFFECTIVELY RESPOND TO THE WHATEVER FORM OF SATANIC CHALLENGES WE MAY BE FACED WITH.

HOWEVER, WE MAY BE WELL ESTABLISHED IN THE BIBLICAL FOUNDATION THAT ALLOWS US TO KNOW AND UNDERSTAND THE OPERATIONAL THEOLOGY OF GOD’S AUTHORITY. THE KNOWLEDGE OF TRUTH AND ITS INTERPRETATION AND APPLICATION IS CRITICAL IN THE ACT OF KINGDOM REPRESENTATION. PAUL AND THE REST OF HIS COMPANIONS FACE A CHALLENGE OF A SLAVE GIRL POSSESSED WITH A FAMILIAR SPIRIT.

BIBLICAL CONCEPTS TO APOSTOLIC CHRISTIANITY

THE BOOK OF ACTS OF THE APOSTLES IS A PRECISE BIBLICAL MODEL IN BUILDING AND ADVANCING ANY FORM OF KINGDOM INITIATIVE. THE BOOK GIVES US A PROFOUND INSIGHT INTO THE TYPE OF LIFE, CHARACTER NATURE, AND MINISTRY OF THE SPIRIT ORDINARY MEN AND WOMEN WHO PLAGUED ALLEGIANCE TO GOD’S REDEMPTIVE AND RESTORATION PURPOSE EXHIBITED. 

THIS BOOK, LIKE THE BOOK OF REVELATION, IS HIGHLY MISUNDERSTOOD BECAUSE OF ITS ONE-SIDED EMPHASIS ON MIRACLES AND POWER GIFTS. The overemphasizing of gifts rather than character and nature of the Spirit, in relation to fruit bearing, has led several to the accurate apostolic pattern laid through the teachings and life pattern of those who paid the ultimate price to preserve the truth given to them. 

JOHN 16:12-15. NIV

12 "I HAVE MUCH MORE TO SAY TO YOU, MORE THAN YOU CAN NOW BEAR. 13 BUT WHEN HE, THE SPIRIT OF TRUTH, COMES, HE WILL GUIDE YOU INTO ALL TRUTH. HE WILL NOT SPEAK ON HIS OWN; HE WILL SPEAK ONLY WHAT HE HEARS, AND HE WILL TELL YOU WHAT IS YET TO COME. 14 HE WILL BRING GLORY TO ME BY TAKING FROM WHAT IS MINE AND MAKING IT KNOWN TO YOU. 15 ALL THAT BELONGS TO THE FATHER IS MINE. THAT IS WHY I SAID THE SPIRIT WILL TAKE FROM WHAT IS MINE AND MAKE IT KNOWN TO YOU.

THE DEVELOPMENT OF SPIRITUAL INTUITION THROUGH PRAYER IS AN EXCELLENT MEANS OF MATURATION IN THE PROPHETIC BEHAVIORAL CHARACTER REACTION OF OUR SPIRIT. 

PRAYER IS DYNAMIC, COMPLEX, AND WELL VERSED IN ITS SPIRITUAL NATURE AND OBJECTIVE IN THE LIFE OF A BELIEVER. EACH NEW DAY OR SEASON REVEALS A DIFFERENT EMPHASIS, DEPENDING ON THE IMPRESSION OF THE HOLY SPIRIT, ESPECIALLY IF THERE IS SOMETHING, HE DESIRES THAT DRAWS OUR ATTENTION TO. WE CAN KNOW THE MIND AND DIRECTION OF THE FATHER'S INTENTION FOR US BY STUDYING OUR OWN DIRECTION AND OUR OWN RESPONSE TO PRAYER.

WE MUST RE-EXAMINE AND UPSCALE OUR PERSPECTIVE AND CONCEPTS OF LEADERSHIP NEED FROM THE SPECTRUM OF HEAVEN'S PROPHETIC MANDATE FOR THIS EPOCH. THE REDEMPTION AND ULTIMATE RESTORATION OF MAN AND CREATION DEPENDS SOLELY ON THE QUALITY OF THE MEN AND WOMEN WE CAN PRODUCE AND RELEASE INTO THE HARVEST FIELD THIS SEASON.

THE FUTURE IS NOT SOME CALENDAR MONTHS AHEAD, BUT THE PROPHETIC ACTIVITIES OF THE LORD SHAPING AND REDIRECT EVERYTHING BACK TO THEIR ORDAINED ORDER AND PLACE IN CHRIST THE HEAD OF ALL THINGS. OUR VISION MUST BE STRAIGHT AND STRENGTHENED TO CONTINUE LOOKING INTO THE GLORIOUS FUTURE BEFORE US, IN CHRIST.

THERE IS A NEW SPIRITUAL REVELATION AND EXPERIENCE THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD WANTS TO BRING HIS CHURCH TO IN THIS NEW DAY. BUT WE HAVE TO INDIVIDUALLY AND CORPORATELY JOURNEY THERE. THE FATHER IS CALLING US OUT OF OUR PAST POSITIONS AND LOCATION, REGARDLESS OF HOW BLESSED AND WONDERFUL THOSE POST POSITIONS WERE. 

JUST AS HOLY MEN OF OLD WERE CALLED OUT TO GO MEET THE LORD IN A NEW LOCATION, THEY WERE NOT AWARE OF, WE ALSO IN OUR DAY ARE ENCOURAGED TO START THIS JOURNEY OF MOVING OUT TO A NEW SPIRITUAL LOCATION AND INTERACTION. THIS CALL IS GOING TO DEMAND A LOT FROM US, BUT AS WE YIELD THROUGH FAITH, TRUST, AND OBEDIENCE, WE SHALL EXPERIENCE THE LIFE AND LIGHT OF THE CHRIST ANEW.  

THEREFORE, WE MUST MAKE IT A PRIORITY TO KEEP MOVING ON IN OUR PRAYER AND DEVOTIONAL LIFESTYLE. WE MUST SEEK TO REBUILD OUR PRAYER ALTARS. WE MUST DESIRE TO CONTINUALLY WEAR OUR PRIESTLY GARMENTS, SO WE ARE ABLE TO ENTER THE HOLY PLACE IN THE TRUE REPRESENTATION OF HEAVEN'S COUNSEL. HEBREWS 12:22

We welcome you to 2022. As we continue to align ourselves with the prophetic instruction of the Father for this decade, which is captured in the word found in the Book of Hebrew chapter 12: 28, which says we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken. We are certainly gliding on the wings of a profound spirit of hope that is sure and eternal. Nothing gives us stability than a sure word than the words of prophecy. We can anchor our faith and courage on the word that has gone forth in 2020, as we move through the uncertainties of our time. 

The year 2020 has ushered us into a new prophetic calendar that still guides our response and leads us to the prophetic goal of the Lord for the earth. We must continue to find insight, wisdom, and direction through the things the Lord has begun to impress his Church to return to in the past two years. While we pray with what the Scriptures call "all kinds of prayer," we should not forget, however, that our prayer becomes highly effective as we pray and intercede in the direction of his prophetic intention for the season. 

Our priority in moving forward in the coming days of the Lord should be to rebuild the shattered altars of our mission to the priesthood. When we return to the place of our corporate assigned priesthood, we develop the precise visionary spirit, strength, and competence of the kingdom in fulfilling the assigned prophetic mandate given to us.

Proverbs 4:18,19

 The path of the righteous is like the first gleam of dawn, shining brighter and brighter until midday. 19 But the way of the wicked is like the darkest gloom; they do not know what makes them stumble.…

Therefore, we believe there is no better way or place to start our journey in the new month of the New Year than the place of effective communion of prayer. In fact, we must begin our movement toward the prophetic counsel of the Father in the business of effective, purposeful, kingdom-oriented prayer, even as we continue to engage in the spiritual dimensions of the counsel of heaven for our time.
