Leaders, companies, local congregations are trying to move forth in apostolic grace, in apostolic anointing, in apostolic movements, and apostolic revival; however without apostolic government it will fail, it will fall short, it will not truly mature and manifest. You may have a good heart; instead you need a pure heart and revelation. –(Rom. 1:11-12)

The Lord today by the Holy Spirit in the apostles and prophets are establishing new wineskins, these wineskins will be built to grow, instead can change, and theses wineskins will be built to connect with other wineskins, apostolic congregations, and the church around the world. However, the old wineskins are not bad or evil, they cannot connect with other old wineskins or with the new wineskins. The new apostolic wineskins are built to connect. –(Matt. 13:47)

The New wineskins that are being built in our generation for future generations of Church are; apostolic ecclesiastical networks, new apostolic congregations, apostolic horizontal networks, territorial apostolic networks, apostolic city church centers, and marketplace church networks, apostolic prayer centers and apostolic functional prayer networks, etc. –(LK. 5:37-39)

These new wineskins are being built with revelation and relationship; they are being built for the holding and cooperation with revivals, signs and wonders, reformation, social transformations, harvests, reaching out to the nations, and marketplace outreaching, and biblical unity. –(Acts 2:13)

If your going to move forth in apostolic anointing on a congregational level, it first and foremost must be thus says the Lord, then be led by the Holy Spirit, have grace the is needed, and have apostolic government. –(1 Cor. 12:28)

The Lord gives me a dream about a congregation trying to move forth in the apostolic anointing, they begun to have an apostolic service and allowed an apostle that was raise up among them to minister in this apostolic service, and their congregation begun to grow and increase. In this dream I was an apostolic consultation to this congregation. This was a congregation trying to move forth in apostolic anointing without apostolic government, or congregational apostolic government. In this dream this congregation had growth, increase, and some fruit, however without congregational apostolic government it will fail. They had a board of elders running the congregation who were not elders, there main service was a traditional service, and then they had an apostolic service for apostolic anointing. –(Rom. 1:5)
