What is going to happen to our cities in the near future? First we are transitioning to the next level of city church, we are going to transition from pastoral unity to apostolic unity, and the church in the marketplace or workplace will be established, and a bridge between the church and the workplace will be built this will serve for a divine continuing transfer of wealth. –(Isa. 60)

In addition, the Holy Spirit wants your city to become a city of the apostles not just for the apostles. A city of the apostles is filled with signs and wonders and revivals. –(Acts 15:4)

We must pray to the Father asking Him to make, teach and mold us to become sensitive to the Holy Spirit, the moves of God, the time and seasons, the timely of the Lord, and Apostles and Prophets. –(1 Thess. 5:19)

We must understand there are different kinds of apostles and we need to make room for them. Pray for the Lord to rise up apostles in your city, and for Him to send apostles to your city. Pray against the enemies of the apostles and those things that could hinder their ministry. Pray for the Lord to establish a big welcome mat and for the church of the city to give them the right hand of fellowship. Apostles must be welcomed and received. We must create environment for the ministry of the apostles. –-(Matt. 10:11-15)

First and foremost your city and the church of your city needs territorial apostles or you can say city church apostles. Apostles who have vision for your city and the church of your city that are called to give leadership and vision to the church of the city. –(Prov. 29:18)

The next is horizontal apostles, which is the same as the territorial apostles; horizontal apostles are one of the broad apostolic spheres of ministry, and the territorial apostle is one of the activities of the horizontal apostle. Some horizontal apostles are called to be city church apostle and others are called to another horizontal apostolic ministry. –(1 Cor. 12:4-6)

The next we need marketplace apostles or you can say workplace apostles; these are apostles who are called to minister in the marketplace. City Apostle and marketplace apostles are most likely to lead in Social transformation of our cities. –(2 Chron. 7:14)

There are other kinds of apostles that we should acknowledge in our cities; ecclesiastical apostles, congregational apostles, hyphenated apostles, and others. –(1 Thess. 5:12-13)

Prophets are to be received in our cities before we can witness of the ministry of the apostles. Prophets will prepare the way for apostles, and apostles will build environment for the prophetic ministry of the church. Apostles and prophets are foundational, revelational, impartational, reformational, revival, and social transformation ministry to the church. –(Eph. 2:20,3:5)

Apostles are gatekeepers in our cities, and prophets are watchmen of our cities, we need them both; apostolic and prophetic ministry is to be established at the gate of the city. –(Isa. 1:26)

We must have an ear to hear what the Holy Spirit is saying to us, and we must have an ear to hear what the Holy Spirit is saying to us through His prophets about our cities, before we can even think about apostles coming to our cities. –(Amos 3:7-8)

We must understand, know, and acknowledge the apostles who are already among us, and young apostles, and those who will be apostles. However, this is hard to be done without the aid of prophetic ministry in the church. –(Gal. 2:9, 1 Sam. 16:1-13)

We will have to teach on the ministry and workings of the Apostle to give faith, and understanding in order to prepare us to receive apostles. –(Rom. 15:15)

Furthermore, we must be willing to change our mindsets, church governments, views, and ways in order to be more applicable to the ministry of the Apostle and the Holy Spirit’s ministry through the apostles to us. –(Rom. 12:2)

The journey of a pathfinder is a journey of patience, the LORD does a work of patience in them, and they are called to a work of patience. If they are called to more then one work of patience, then they will have even longer journey of patience. –(Heb. 6:12)

The journey of a pathfinder is hard, it is not an easy one, it is not a favor calling, and they have to endure hardness through much of their journey. –(2 Cor. 6:1-10)

The journey of a pathfinder is suffering; the journey of suffering is apart of their journey, much suffering throughout much of their journey. –(2 Cor. 11:22-33)

The journey of a pathfinder is one of solitary; the journey of lonesome is much of their journey, alone, alone is much of their time, they don’t say one day I love to be a loner, instead they follow the leading of the Lord in the journey of the Pathfinder. –(Jn. 15:18-25)

The journey of a pathfinder is setbacks, delays, and hindrances, they faces these more then a few times, more times then what is normal people could put up with. –(Matt. 10:5-16)

Pathfinders hear the Holy Spirit on the journey of path fining, they see a vision that is not yet in our realty, and some people say this day of visionaries are over, without visionaries the world will never move forth. –(Prov. 29:18)

Pathfinders hear God where others don’t hear God, and for this reason great is their reward, God is faithful, and they will reap much, they will be very fruitful, and they will see their vision fulfill. Pathfinders go before us, making a new road in the Spirit that will one day become a highway, for many to flow upon and enjoy the labors of the pathfinders that have gone long before us. –(Heb. 6:10)

Apostles and prophets are real, they are for today, and Christ is still sending apostles and prophets, we need to understand and have the knowledge of apostles and prophets and how to relate to them. –(Eph. 4:11-15)

In certain areas apostles and prophets the doors to the church are opening wide, and other areas the doors are ether shut or a little open. One thing you must remember about apostles and prophets is that rejecting is just one of the tests they must pass through in their holy calling. –(Matt. 23:34-35)

If your church does not believe in apostles and prophets today your church has no foundation, apostles and prophets are foundational ministry to the church around the world. –(Eph. 2:20)

God will not move in the way you want Him to move if you do not honor and receive His apostles and prophets, before the Lord does great things He first send His apostles and prophets. –(1 Cor. 12:28)

Yes they are seasonal apostles or seasonal prophets, they are recognize apostles and recognize prophets, however there are those who are emerging apostles or emerging prophets, yes we are test to see if they are apostles and if they are prophets, if they are then what? –(Rev. 2:2)

The rejection of apostles and prophets is the rejection of the Head of the church. Yes we have those who have made mistakes, and this goes for all of us. –(Matt. 5-16)

Apart from that, apostles and prophets will go through the trial of rejection, must forgive, bless, and never become bitter, we cannot reacted, instead have proper action, forgive, pray, bless them, learn from it, and seek the Lord for wisdom, and the leading of the Lord, and wait upon the Lord, and after the green light move on. –(Gen. 26)

Sometimes we come to hard grounds, rocky grounds, and dry grounds, we must keep looking for good grounds, and if we are faithful, and follow the leading of the Lord, you will fine good ground. –(Mk. 4:3-9)

On the other hand, there are apostles and prophets, who will be led to continue to minister and pray over those hard, rocky, and dry grounds, both of the ministry of the apostle and the ministry of the prophet are ministry of patience. –(2 Cor. 12:12, Jam. 5:10-11)

When you are faithful to the leading of the Lord, and keep your heart right before God, the divine patience of God will come upon you, and divine changes will come, the Lord will ether remove or change bad grounds to good grounds. I believe the key is coming in this season to change grounds to good grounds, and many ministries that have kept the vision will become fruitful. –(Rev. 3:7-8)

It is the Father’s will for us to be fruitful, and to be more fruitful, and bear much fruit in apostolic and prophetic ministries.

There are those around the earth, the Lord is speaking to your heart at this time, do you see this vision, a vision of a hidden door, that vision is the door of the apostolic, it is time for you to prayerfully and gracefully enter into this door of apostolic grace. Soon this door will be revealed to the masses and many great numbers will come running, and this door will widen and become a great door of opportunity and grace. –(Zech. 4:7)

What is the apostolic? It is not government, yes it begins with government that is only apart of the beginning, and yes it is wineskins, yes that is only apart of the beginning, it is not the leadership of apostles, yes that is apart of the beginning, then what is the apostolic, it is grace, new wine, power, signs wonders, opening doors and gates to the nations, it is the outreach sending anointing to win the masses and change the hearts of many. In a word the apostolic is evangelism reborn in signs and wonders in the hearts of believers around the earth. It is every believer is a missionary in their city, in their own nation, and the world is their playground. –(Matt. 28:18-20)

You can have an apostolic anointing for your life and ministry! Our Lord Jesus Christ is the Chief Apostle and Head of the Church, and from Him the apostolic anointing flows upon the apostles and all believers around the world. This is anointing of favor, for opportunities, the apostolic anointing opens doors and gates to cities, nations, communities, people groups, and opens hearts around you, and gives you favor with the lost, and gives you protection and provision to do apostolic ministry of the believer. The apostolic anointing is a key anointing to open hearts, and bring breakthrough in ministry, to break new grounds for Christ and His Kingdom. The apostolic anointing is the sending anointing, not only that apostles are sent, also believers and sent forth too. –(Heb. 3:1)

There is the apostolic ministry of the apostles, and then there is the apostolic ministry of the believers, you must see that every believer is called and is sent to give witness of Christ through the power of the Holy Spirit; you must see that every believer has an apostolic ministry. –(Acts 11:19-30)

What is massing in the church is the sending anointing; it’s the apostolic anointing to move forth, to take ground, and to be fruitful and successful in witness and ministry for the glory of Christ and the increase of the Kingdom. –(Acts 13:1-4)

What does the Church need to be apostolic?

We need to give the leadership of the church over to the apostles.
The foundation of the Church must be apostles, and prophets.
We need new wineskins with new wines.
We need new apostolic congregations to be raised up.

The Saints need to be equipped and release into ministry.

Why to we need to release the apostolic anointing, in order to opening new doors, and new gates for the increase of the Kingdom of God. –(Acts 16:18-19)

The Kingdom of God will increase beginning with apostles, the apostolic anointing, the ministry of the kings, and the hearts of the believers, social transformations, and the outpourings of the Holy Spirit. –(Acts 2:17-18, 3:19-21)

Commissioning Modern-Day Apostles

Commissioning Modern-Day Apostles

Elvis Iverson
http://www.elvisiverson.com

Apostles and prophets are pioneers and forerunners, apostles and prophets are the foundation of the church, and apostles and prophets shall lead the church no longer shall pastors and bishops lead the church, and apostles, prophets and teachers are elders of the new apostolic congregation. –(Eph. 2:20, 1 Cor. 12:28)

In addition, there are apostles and prophets that are called to go before other apostles and prophets, these apostles and prophets are called to prepare the way for other apostles and prophets, these apostles and prophets are raise up by the Lord, are train by the Holy Spirit over long periods of time. Things that are new and that is visionary takes years to rise up, and cannot be mentor or father by others, it takes the Lord to rise up such leaders. –(1 Cor. 3:10)

Notwithstanding, then there are apostles and prophets that train, mentor and father by other apostles and prophets, this only takes a short time, a few years, at least two years, or three at the most. The Lord is raising apostles of apostles, and prophets of prophets, and apostles of prophets and apostles, He is rising up fathers with a heart of a father, there are those who say there are a father but without a heart of a father, all this is done with liberty, grace, and wisdom. –(Acts 9:27)

Apart from that, the Lord is arising up new ecclesiastical apostolic networks, and new apostolic congregations; we are have fathering and mentoring centers for those called into government ministry, and we are to have equipping and training centers for the believers to be raise up in the work of the ministry, and we are to raise up kings for the Kingdom of God. A new apostolic congregation is a network of home cells, and the center building is not use for pastoral ministry, instead for training, equipping, and fathering, mentoring and apostolic and prophetic ministry along with teachers. Pastoral ministry is done in the home cells along with mutual edification and the one another’s come into grace application. –(Acts 2:46)

Moreover, we are to pray for apostles to be raise up, we are to rise up young apostles, we are to love and care for those who shall be fathers of the church. As fathering apostles father other apostles into ministry, and to release them into ministry will follow this kind of pattern. –(Matt. 9:37-38)

First is ordination: we are to ordain those called into the five ministries of the grace of our Lord; this also applies to young apostles that are ready to be release into government ministry.

Second is recognition: recognition will come from the congregations that follow the anointing of a young apostle; they will sense the anointing and grace of an apostle upon a young apostle. They will become the seal of his apostleship. Don’t call yourself an apostle until the church calls you an apostle.

Third is affirmation: affirmation comes from government ministry, from other apostles, from other prophets, and from other teachers. Don’t call yourselves an apostle until other season apostles and prophets call you an apostle.

Fourth is commissioning: apostles after they walk for a certain amount of years showing proof of their apostleship in fruits, gifts, anointing, works, signs, and those who are with them. Apostles are the only ministries in the church that is commission. An apostle should be commission by a season or mature apostle, and that commissioning is not the advice of the apostle being commission, it is the wisdom of the apostle who is lead to do the commissioning. An apostle should be commission in their own sphere of ministry, etc. –(LK. 6:13, Num. 27:18-20, Deut. 3:27,28, Deut. 31:14, Acts 13:1,2, 2 Tim. 4:1-5)

Apart from that, the elders of a new apostolic congregation are plural, with a set visionary, senior elder leading the plural of elders. An elder is a mature minister of the Gospel. Elders are appoint by apostles, but there are those who have just enter into ministry, and they are young, they are apart of the ministry of a new apostolic congregation, and they will come into a leadership role, but eldership is for the mature minister. –(1 Tim. 3:1-13, Tit. 1:5-9, Acts 14:23)

Apart from that, what we see now are apostles who prepare the way for the next waves of apostles, these apostles now are rising up other apostles, but soon apostles that we have not heard of, shall arise in signs and wonders. –(2 Cor. 12:12)

Nevertheless, apostles are first in the order of church government, and first in leading the way for others to follow, we need apostles, and apostles need us, if we come into relationship, fellowship, and partnership with an apostle. We can be apart of their vision that the Lord gives them for the church, and even the world. –(Phil. 1:7,19, 4:2-3,4:10-20)

Furthermore, apostles are here to stay, Jesus was the first person to coin the title of the apostle, He was the one who created the ministry of the apostle, it is not just for the early church, it is for today, tomorrow, etc. –(Eph. 4:11-16)

In a vision I see a vision of a field of revelation, I see apostles from all over the church, seeking and looking throughout this field of revelation. These apostles had to paid great costs throughout the years of their labor and work in this field. Then I see angels aiding and helping the apostle in their journey of revelation. I see a vision of tombstones in this field of revelation. These are the apostles, who labor before us, these are the apostles who dead in the faith and their works follow them, and these apostles who don’t fulfill their journey of revelation, and these die along the way on their journey of revelation, all have sown tears and seeds for future generations of apostles and the church.

Sometimes, and others apostles would see paths that lead out from this field of revelation. See you can enter into this field of revelation and you can leave this field of revelation. However, the Holy Spirit activities were only upon the apostle’s life only if they were in this field of revelation, and their journey of revelation.

Some and others apostles were not willing to pay a certain price, they would only pay to a certain level then stop, not willing to give of themselves anymore. You have to pay the cost of revelation; you must continue to pay the costs for revelation on the journey of revelation in the field of revelation.

Now again I see a vision of tombstones of apostles that are dead in the faith, those apostles who remain faithful to their journey of revelation and in the field of revelation were be honor to be place in the ground in the field of revelation.

Now I see prophets come to aid the apostles, the prophets are friends of apostles, and apostles are friends of prophets, and both are friends of bridegroom.

These prophets were to prophecy, see visions and dreams. Revivals and reformations will come, and Apostles as they spoke the revelation that they received revival and reformation would come. This is the field of revivals and reformations. This is the field of the ministry of the apostle and the ministry of the prophet.

Now the apostles found a pearl of great price, this revelation cost a great price. This pearl is the Kingdom of God, and is the revelation of the Kingdom of God. The Holy Spirit says this is the beginning days of the unfolding revelation of the Kingdom of God.

Apostolic Consultation

Apostolic Consultation

Elvis Iverson
http://www.elvisiverson.com

The Holy Spirit is moving across the world, from nation to nation, from city to city, among His people He is calling congregations and companies, and willing servants to begin to enter and to flow in the apostolic this is by intercession, revelation and grace. –(Rom. 1:5)

Unfortunately, there are those who want the apostolic and don’t want reformation; that is like wanting Heaven, and not wanting the Kingdom, there are those like that, there so many and this is why there is a holy cry for reformation going up to the Throne Room. This is a divine cry giving by the Holy Spirit in our hearts. –(Rom. 8:26-28)

Nevertheless, then we have people who want to move into the end times, or meaning step 7, 8, 9, and we have not yet fulfill 3, 4, 5, 6, yet. We must flow in the seasons and times of the Lord. –(Eph. 5:16-17)

This is why we need season apostles; apostles who have season revelation and wisdom from the Lord to give council to these transition congregations, etc. this is why we need apostolic consultation. We need consultants who are apostles that have lived in revelation and wisdom for some time. –(Gal. 2:2,9)

Some plant, some water, it is God who gives the increase. You may have planted, but you need some water, you need apostolic consultation. –(1 Cor. 3:6-10)

I had a dream of a congregation that wanted to move into the apostolic, they had an apostolic service apart from their pastoral service, however they had no apostolic congregational government, although the congregation bear increase and some fruits, in the long run or in the coming seasons it will fail. Remember there are four seasons in church growth, you may have in the fall harvest, but there is coming a winter too. –(1 Cor. 3:1-17)

The Four Seasons of Church Growth:

First Season: spring season is the breaking of the fallow, planting the seed, and watering the field.
Second Season: summer season is watering, getting ready, and testing.
Third Season: fall season is harvest time.
Fourth Season: winter season is testing time, preparing, and resting time.

The door of the apostolic will soon be wide open, yes it seems it is already open, however soon it will be wide open. We need to hear, listen and prepare for the rush of the apostolic anointing, apostolic grace, and apostolic Spirit. –(Eph. 6:19)

The Cyrus Apostle

The Cyrus Apostle

Elvis Iverson
http://www.elvisiverson.com

Cyrus was prophecy long before his time, that he would aid the people of God, he was a wicked king, who know not the name of the Lord, but God had a plan for him, today the Lord will raise up wicked people that will be used as a Cyrus to aid the church in this time, Cyrus is a type of marketplace apostle, and is a type of apostle today. –(Isa. 45:1-13, 44:28)

Apostles will be giving favor from the Lord, they will have influence over things around them, when they speak people will listen. To the church she has freedom and willing to obey apostles, but to the world apostles will have an anointing in favor and influence in order to carry out their calling and apostolic work. –(Psa. 5:12)

Most apostles will be giving a ministry of philanthropy, wealth will flow into the hands of apostles; apostles have anointing and grace for attracting and distributing financial resources. –(Acts 4:37)

Marketplace apostles will join together with church apostles they will work together in the ministry of philanthropy, marketplace apostles are gateways of wealth into the church, and the church apostles are receiving and handling, the management of wealth. This is why apostles are ministers of great control over things of there hearts, they will use the financial resources for the church and the Kingdom of God, instead they will not be greedily or use the financial resources for reasons of self. –(Acts 4:34-35)

Marketplace apostles have a ministry of wealth, they have an anointing and grace to call in greater amounts of wealth then church apostles, they in turn will minister this wealth to church apostles, apostolic congregations, and the apostolic church, the city church, and ministries of compassion, and Joseph ministries of mercy. –(Eccl. 2:26, Prov. 13:22, Isa. 60:5)

Apostles are called to minister supernatural in signs, wonders and mighty deeds, they anointing and grace to move in the supernatural. Apostles have a greater anointing and greater authority over demons and spiritual warfare. –(LK. 10:19, Matt. 10:1,8, 2 Cor. 12:12, Acts 2:43)

Cyrus is a type of an apostle today, the Cyrus anointing could be the apostolic anointing. What is the understanding of this anointing? –(Isa. 45:1-4)

Cyrus apostolic anointing:

1. Whose right hand I have held.
2. To subdue nations before him.
3. Loose the armor of kings.
4. To open before him the double doors.
5. So that the gates will not be shut.
6. I will go before you.
7. Make the crooked places straight.
8. I will break in pieces the gates of bronze.
9. Cut the bars of iron.
10. I will give you the treasures of darkness.
11. Hidden riches of secret places.
12. That you may know that I am the Lord who call you by name.

I believe the Cyrus anointing is the apostolic anointing upon the apostles ministry. I believe that we will see a manifestation of the Cyrus anointing in our generation. I believe the church will enjoy the fruits and blessings of the Cyrus anointing that is coming.

The apostles are call to rise up the kings of the Kingdom, and to impart and release the Cyrus anointing into their lives. The Cyrus anointing could be the anointing of the kings of the Kingdom. The ministry of rising up kings is the Lord working through the apostles. –(Rev. 1:6)

In a vision I see a company of angels beginning to speak, and I hear the sound of angels singing worship songs in the background. The Holy Spirit says the vision of the city of the apostles has been giving unto the church around the world in this time, for the times are changes, and I am going to move in great ways, and move in powerful ways in a short time from now, and this is only the beginning.

The Holy Spirit says The Apostolic Church shall arise and fill the church around the world; the marketplace church will arise and become the outreach of the church in every city. The apostolic city church will begin to arise in many cities around the world, and a healing love will fill the rest of the church.

I see a vision of a valley, this valley is good ground, and I see the fields white for harvest, I see the city of the apostles a golden city, a golden house of the Lord. It is a city of gold; it is a house of cold. I see rivers around the city of the apostles, I see rivers in the city of the apostles, and I see rivers flow out from the city of the apostles, and I see many rivers in the city of the apostles, I see the sun looks like revelation and light from the Lord, I see clouds over the city, in the city, and around the city, I see rain over the city, around the city, and in the city. I see rainbows over the city, and see storms in the city, around the city, and over the city, and I see winds upon the city, over the city, around the city, and in the city.

I see a river that flows from the Throne Room in the third heaven downward to the center of the city and flow throughout the city, and outward from the city. I see the drinking water in the city is wine. The wine was free, and there was wine on every corner. I see oil burning in lamps all over the city, and the oil running off the burning lamps and the oil will touch and land upon those who walk by or around, the oil didn’t burn, instead apply to their lives. I see the wind of the Holy blow throughout the city, giving wind to everyone, and I see the fire burning on the lamps flow like a river unto the city streets.

The city was full of angels inside, around, upon and over. There were outpourings of angels every day and night. The angel’s activity was common among those who live in the city.

I see a wall of fire that went around the outside of the city. This was the Lord’s protection upon the city of the apostles. Then as you pass through the wall of fire you see seven pillars of fire that are around the outside of the walls of the city. These seven pillars are the Seven Spirits of God. Then I see the walls around the city. They were great and strong, these walls were moving wells, they would ether move forward and or move around to change the settings of the gates. On the walls were written the seasons of the Lord. Now I see the gates of the city of the apostles.

The Gate of Reformation: from the gate of reformation came forth fire and reformation upon the church.

The Gate of Revival: from the gate of revival came revivals upon the church and the world.

The Gate of Social Transformation: from the gate of social transformation came social transformations upon the cities and nations around the world.

The Gate of Harvest: from the gate of harvest came masses of harvests of souls around the world in nations and cities.

The Gate of Revelation: from the gate of revelation came revelation to the church around the world.

The Gate of Prophetic Outpouring: from the gate of prophetic outpouring came prophecy, visions and dreams upon the church around the world.

The Gate of Signs and Wonders: from the gate of signs and wonders came outpourings of signs and wonders upon the church around the world.

The Gate of Angelic Hosts: from the gate of angelic hosts came outpourings of angelic hosts upon the church, nations and cities.

The Gate of Wealth: from the gate of wealth flows wealth upon the church around the world.

The Gate of Spiritual Warfare: from the gate of spiritual warfare came spiritual war all over the world.

The Gate of Nation Building: from the gate of nation building came anointing and a river that brought rebuilding of nations and cities around the world through the hands of the saints.

All these gates before the last gate are gates that things go outward, things flow from them; no things came into them. I hear these words these gates are now open, and no man can shut them.

12. The Gate of the City Church: the gate of the city church is where all the believers and ministers will enter into, the only place you can enter the city of the apostles is through the gate of the city church.

Now I see the vision of the city of the apostles, the city of the Apostles is the Throne of Christ on the Earth. The City of the Apostles is the City Church, and the City Church is the City of God, the City of God is the Church, and is the city built upon the Kingdom of God, and the City of God is the City of the Kingdom. The Vision of the city of the apostles is the vision of cites of the apostles in all the cities of the apostles in the church around the world.

In a vision I see a company of angels along with angels singing songs of worship in the background, they begun to speak in visions. They say apostle Paul came into visions and revelations of the Lord, today the whole church shall come into visions and revelations from the Lord, the whole church is being called to come up to the Throne Room. The outpouring of prophecy, visions and dreams is a beginning of life of the supernatural in signs and wonders.

I see a vision of a city of the apostles, then I see a vision of a city of the apostles, and then I see a vision of a city of the apostles, I could see cities of the apostles around the world, there was a divine union and connection between all these cities of the apostles that were all the city of the apostles.

I see a coming cloud, and see other clouds coming, I see apostles ministering under these clouds that are coming; there is more then one that is coming.

I see the signs of an apostle giving to the apostles, they begin to manifest the apostolic signs, and this seems like a life of the apostles, the life of the apostles is the manifestations of apostolic signs of the Holy Spirit. It seems within a short time from now, there will be a change in the spirit, and the floodgates of apostolic signs will open wide in apostles lives around the world. Some will minister more, some minister in a greater more, however, all will minister. It will become a life of apostolic signs.

Now I see apostolic revival coming to the cities of the apostles. The Holy Spirit says I have set these cities aside to be centers of apostolic revival, a life of apostolic revival in the life of the church.

I see great grace come to the apostles in the cities the apostles. It is like a flood of apostolic revival coming in floods of apostolic revival, and floods of great grace come forth from the floods of apostolic revival. Then great power come upon all the apostles in the cities of the apostles, floods of great power came forth from floods of apostolic revival, then came floods of great increase of souls, and great increases in all things from the floods of apostolic revival. Then from the floods of apostolic revival came floods of great fear of the Lord upon the whole cites of the apostles. The Holy Spirit says the cities of the apostles will always have apostolic revival; these cities are the cities of apostolic revival.

Then I see an outpouring of apostolic revival upon the church around the world, and upon the nations and cities!

I see an apostle arise saying I am an apostle of apostolic revival that went to minister in cities around the world, then likewise another apostle arise saying I am an apostle of apostolic revival, then another, and another, and then another. The Holy Spirit says this is a worldwide revival, worldwide movement, and this is a worldwide phenomenon, and this is a worldwide missionary movement.

I see a vision of an apostle of apostolic revival setup a stage in the middle of a street in a downtown city, and rented four blocks of streets for people to together. I see apostolic revival come, then the street down town filled with people from around the city, and from around the nation, and even from around the world. I see mass healings, I see mass miracles, I see mass deliverances, and I see mass salvations, I see mass manifestations of the Holy Spirit upon the people. These meetings were not just meetings, they were meetings with God, and these meetings lasted for three months during the whole summer.

I see a vision of an apostle of apostolic revival sent to a major city, rented a huge gathering place, the meetings lasted for nine months, the huge gathering place was filled of people every night, people came from all over the city, the nation and the world for the ministry of apostles revival.

Now I see a vision of an apostle of apostolic revival sent to minister to another city. It was a leadership conference turn into an apostolic revival conference, the anointing covered the whole city, even through only a certain number could fit into this conference center, however apostolic revival was falling all over the city.

In a vision I see an apostle of apostolic revival ministering in an outdoor meeting, the gathering were so huge, these meetings went on for months. Masses amount of people came faithfully every day and night. I see a great many raised from the dead, for the people brought there dead, and what ever dead they can fine.

The Holy Spirit says the apostles of apostolic revival can not minister together in most cities since only the cities of the apostles could handle such anointing and power, yes there were other apostles assisting the apostles that were ministering, and the apostles minister in teams, however when it came to apostolic revival cities could only bear one or two apostles of apostolic revival, and even a nation could only bear a certain amount. The cities of the apostles could bear all the apostles of apostolic revival. Whenever these apostles would minister in any city, the city and the land would be forever changed by God even the nation.

Then we came to the nations of Africa, were teams of apostles of apostolic revival minister, the whole cities and even the nations will filled with apostolic revival. Africa will be filled with apostolic revival, and the Lord will rise up a company of apostles who will minister from nation to nation, from city to city in Africa. The Lord has promise Africa revival, and the revival that is coming to Africa is apostolic revival.

Furthermore, in the cities of the apostles; apostolic revival was minister day and night for years, and this was the life of these cities, and from these floods of apostolic revival flow through cities around them, the nation around them, and nations around the world, flow living rivers of apostolic revival, and rivers of apostolic revival minister to the church around the world.

Conclusion is that many revivals are coming, and apostolic revival is coming, reformation is the foundation of many revivals, resting revivals, and the revival life, and the cities of the apostles will be cities of apostolic revival for the church and the world.

In a vision I see a pure river, clear as crystal coming toward us, from this river came up prophecy, visions and dreams. Then come the clear river came forth a company of angels, it was like that pure river and this company of angels were the same thing, and it is the same thing, it is a vision of them coming to His servants at their watch post all over the world. Then I could hear angels singing songs of worship in the background.

Then this company of angels said now see one of the cites of the apostles arise in the church and in the earth. I see a vision of prophetic words raining down upon this city, I see a faithful watchman, a prophet standing at the gate of this city, he says I have been praying, and prophecy over this city for years, there has been prophets that come and gone, they each done their part in what is about to come.

I see a rain of prayer that came for some years, and a type of unity that came, and the congregations begun to grow, and activity of the Holy Spirit begun to increase throughout the city. This was phenomenon of church growth.

There is a young apostle up north. He was called to the ministry of the apostle in his teens, Jesus visited him, give him a vision for his life and vision for his ministry, and a vision for this city of the apostles. He prayed and made intercession for this city for years, he even fasted many times over the years. Then the time came when he was led to move here and to begin an apostolic work. He was called to prepare the way for the other apostles, he was a forerunner to the coming apostles, and he was a pioneer in the way of the apostolic.

He was faithful, he was tested, and he suffer much, over the years the Lord in His grace raise this apostle up, he establish an apostolic congregation that grow and grow, he establish an apostolic ecclesiastical network in America and one that is international around the world that brought networks in other nations together, these were the networks he was led to establish, this was an apostle called to the nations.

The Lord has giving him a vision of the apostolic city church, a vision of a city church horizontal network, and a vision of a city church center. Besides the Lord show him seven apostles that would come and form an apostolic coalition.

The Lord begun to fulfill this vision of an apostolic holy union on a city level; these seven apostles begun to come from other places, being called by the Lord to come to this city of the apostles; in the beginning the Lord begun to form a true mutual relationship among these seven apostles. They would come together many times to pray, and seek the face of the Lord. They would hear from the arising prophets of the Lord, who He was leading the prophets to this city to be joined to the Lord in this city and the apostles.

Each of these seven apostles planted an apostolic congregation that grow and grow; these congregations become mega congregations in the Spirit. Each of these seven apostles established an apostolic ecclesiastical network.

A faithful watchman was giving a prophetic word about this city of the apostles, that you could find the makeup of the city of the apostles in Ephesians 2:19-22, 3:14-21; this prophecy, vision and revelation of application begun to come to pass before our very own eyes in this city.

Now I see the seven apostles arise the first was like Jacob, he open and prayed forth an holy ladder was set on the earth, and its top reached to heaven, and there the angels of God were ascending and descending on it, this is a gate of heaven.

The second apostle was like Moses; he brought the presence of the Lord and the glory of the Lord. The third apostle was like Samuel who minister to the Lord, and lead in reformation, and established leaders in business. The fourth apostle was like Solomon he had wisdom from God in building the house of the Lord, the fifth apostle was like Ezra who brought worship, and sixth apostle was like Nehemiah who brought the vision of the building of the wall, and the seventh apostle was like Noah who brought the blueprints of the ark.

This city of the apostles begun to bring a whole company of apostles from around the nation and even around the world; this city has begun to become the city of the apostles! Marketplace apostles begun to arise the believers in the workplace begin to flow in a new grace of the Kingdom in their lives.

The Seven apostles become a council; that formed a city church horizontal network, and appointed an apostle who is a territorial apostle over as the city church apostle to the network. Then they establish and built a city church center, and they grow into becoming 24/7 intercession and 27/7 worship and prophetic watch, they arise a city church company of prophets, the ministries that minister city-wide to the city begun to minister from this city church center, this city church center become the ministry of the church to the city, and apostles and prophets minister to the city from this center place.

Revival had already begun, and then another revival came, and now another revival, and from this revivals come one after another. This I see a cloud coming to rest upon this city church center, this was the resting glory of the Lord, and this was habitational revival.

Missionary movements come forth from this city of the apostles. And the city continues to grow and increase in size and wealth. This is only one of cities of the apostles, the Lord has called forth certain cities around the world to be cities of the apostle and together to become the city of the apostles.

In a vision I see the company of angels who have no name. I hear angels in the background singing songs of worship. I then feel a mist of the Spirit come upon us, the Holy Spirit then said to us saying this is the will of the Lord for every believer to feel and be touched by a mist of the Spirit everyday.

Then the angels said, we do not talk by each one, we only talk together. We are the angels of pure vision and pure revelation. As we are speaking to you, we are speaking to others who are waiting before the Lord to hear what the Lord is saying about the church. Hear what the Holy Spirit is saying unto the church!

We speak to you in visions not in words only, our visions are not our own but the one who sent us give us these visions, the Throne Room is the place of prophecy, visions, revelations, and dreams.

Now here what we have to say about these divine cities, about these cities of the apostles, about the city of the apostles.

In a vision I see a few apostles arise in anointing and grace. Some were apostles called to plant a congregation that became a mega congregation in the Spirit. And lamp burn day and night among them. These are congregational apostles, and they are many, but they are only some, and few.

In a vision I see a few apostles arise in anointing and grace. Some were apostles called to plant apostolic ecclesiastical networks, they were called ecclesiastical apostles, they were many, but they were only some, and few.

In a vision I see a few apostles arises in anointing and grace. Some were apostles called to minister to a city and lead the city church, they were called territorial apostles called to plan territorial church networks, and establish city church centers. They were many, but they were only some, and few.

In a vision I see a few apostles arise in anointing and grace. Some were apostles called to establish horizontal networks, these apostles were called horizontal apostles, and they were many, but only some, and few.

In a vision I see a few apostles arise in anointing and grace. Some were apostles called to the workplace, or marketplace. They were called marketplace or workplace apostles; they were many, but only some, and few.

In vision I see a few apostles arise in anointing and grace. These apostles had other ministries and other plans then the ones before, they cover all other apostles that we have not yet said. They were many, but only some, and few.

Now I see a vision of divine cities around the world. I see apostles arise. Some cities had are a few, but these cities had many apostles and this was a supernatural wonder.

In these cities I see huge apostolic congregations arise, many coming to know the Lord, I see in these cities the activity of the Holy Spirit arise throughout the city. And I see if there were not enough people to go around, the Lord will bring more people from other cities and around the world. And it seems that these apostolic congregations had no since of ownership on the sheep, instead there was freedom, love and grace.

I see the establishment of apostolic ecclesiastical networks in these cities, these networks when throughout the nation around them, and even some around the world. I see a company of apostolic ecclesiastical networks within these cities. I see those called into ministry come from around the nation and even around the world.

I see in these cities the water, oil and wine poured out upon these cities. I see in these cities the oil, fire, wind, water, and wine of the Spirit poured out. It seems that God was giving all things to these cities and His people. From these cities came rivers that went to the nation around them and even around the world.

I see within these cities marketplace apostle minister, I see the beilevers in the workplace begin to arise in faith and the supernatural in the Holy Spirit. I see many believers enter into workplace revival. I see rivers of wealth flow into these cities, into these ministries of marketplace apostles, into the apostolic ecclesiastical networks, and into these apostolic congregations, and many become wealthy in these cities, but even beyond numbers believers become financial independent, this lead to a new era. The ministry of wealth, and the ministry of philanthropy arise among the believers that out number those in the world. This will lead to 90% of believers in the ministry of philanthropy, and only 10% only be of the world, soon the believers will own most of wealth around the world.

Within these cities many prophetic words came to pass and many prophetic words begun to come to pass around the world, and these cities were the place of prophetic fulfillment and prophetic release.

Now I see within these cities; city church networks arise and there was city church centers established, and I see 24/7 prayer, worship and prophetic watch. The Apostolic City Church arises into great anointing and great grace. These centers were a place for resting glory to come and live, and these places were the centers for revivals. These cities were filled with signs and wonders, and these cities were full of the acts of the Holy Spirit.

From these Apostolic City Church in these cities begin to flow the rivers of revival, and rivers of social transformation to cities around them, to the nation around them, and to cities and nations around the world.

These cities became fruitful, full of fruitfulness; these cities become cities called city of righteousness and faithful city. These cities were full of judges and counselors, apostles and prophets, and from these cities came many missionary movements to nations and cities around the world.

These cities increase in sizes from time to time again. These cities continue to grow and grow; some of these cities become three cities or four cities in one apostolic city church. Many numbers of people came from around the world called to live in these cities.

I hear the Holy Spirit says these are the cities of the apostles; this is the plan of the Lord in the earth and in the church. These cities of the apostles are the city of the apostles.

In a vision I see angels come before us, stand before us, and speaking unto us, these angels say we have come with visions from our Lord In the Third Heaven. I see these angel wings were likeness as a rainbow, and there bodies were bodies of light. As these angels fly you see an rainbow around each angel, and when they stood before us, they cover them self with their wings in the likeness of a rainbow, and when they speak they open their wings and we could see the light of their bodies. When they fly you see rainbows around each of them, and a flash of light between each rainbow.

Upon there chest was the Image of Christ, which is a image of gold that was a water of gold flowed from them when they spoke their words under the authority of the Lord of Hosts, who is Jesus Christ our Lord. When they speak in the background you heard the voices of many angels singing songs of worship.

In their right hands were a staff and in other hands were a rod. I ask what is your name, and these angels said we have no name. There is only one name above all other names in Heaven, and there is only one name that above all names in the Earth, that is the name of Jesus.

These angels don’t come alone, they come in a company of angels, and this company of angels doesn’t come along, there are other angels that come with them.

These angels begun to speak in visions:

The Revelation of the Church, the Revelation of the Kingdom of God, the Revelation of the City Church, and the Revelation of the future of the Church the Lord has laid upon your heart to believe and move forth in the anointing of these Revelations.

It is time to gather the apostles around the heart of the Father and the Mind of Christ, for there is only one heart and one mind. It is time to gather the prophets around the heart of the Father and the Mind of Christ that the apostles and prophets then can gather the saints around the heart of the Father and the Mind of Christ.

From these gatherings of Heart of the Father and of the Mind of Christ came a pillar of clouds and fires, and from this signs and wonders poured upon these divine gatherings.

Now I see a vision of divine cities are around the world. These are the cities of the Apostles. A city of the Apostles is a city of the open door, a city where a group of apostles live and their home is, and where the saints walk in the teachings and fellowship of the apostles.

I see a vision of angels called the angels of the city of the apostles, there are many cities of the apostles, but there is only one city of the apostles in these divine cities around the world. These angels went to these cities and to the city of the apostles, and they begun to blow a holy trumpet, there was only one trumpet that these angels blow, and hear the calling of the apostles to these cities and to this city. This was the trumpet of the church.

The Lord will build a stronghold in these divine cities around the world. It will be a stronghold of unity, revelation, prophecy, signs, anointings, wealth, grace, and the apostles.

These divine cities will be centers for the apostles, the church, and the Kingdom of God. And the Holy Spirit, and movements of God.

The City of the Apostles is the city of God, is the church, and is the city church in every city.

Now I see angels fly to many cities around the world, and they all blow the same trumpet, this was the trumpet of the Kingdom. There are other kinds of trumpets, but there are only two trumpets that He will guide His people, one of the trumpets are for of the Church, and the other is the trumpet of the Kingdom.

Now I see a vision of a cloud that is coming it is the cloud of the signs of apostle, this is the anointing that will always be with the apostles, this anointing and grace is coming, this anointing and grace is a river of the Spirit in their lives, and it is coming. And from this cloud came many clouds, however this cloud resting upon these divine cities.

Now I see a vision of this hovering fire that is coming, this hovering fire is coming upon the saints in these divine cities. From this hovering fire came many hovering fires. However, this hovering fire rested upon these divine cities.

Now I see a vision of a pillar of cloud come to these divine cities, and this cloud rested upon these cities, this cloud is the cloud of restring glory that is coming. And from this cloud came many clouds. Now I see a vision of a pillar of fire coming to these divine cities around the world. This pillar of fire rested upon these divine cities, this is the outreach of movements of the Spirit, and from this pillar of fire came many pillars of fire.

Now I see an angel called the angel of the signs of apostles, he is coming to these divine cities to laid upon the apostles who are coming the signs of an apostle, he will release the signs of the apostles in these divine cities and in the church around the world.

Now I see a vision of a faithful watchman, a faithful prophet standing at the gate of these divine cities, he has prophecy, and prayed for years waiting for the time of the coming of the apostles to these divine cities.

Now the Holy Spirit says do you want your city to be a city of the apostles, begun to pray for apostles, pray for prophets, pray for apostles, begun to hear the prophets, begin to listen to the apostles, begin to pray for your city.

However, not all cities will be cities of the apostles, but your city can have an apostle or two. Your city can have the apostolic city church, your city can have the Kingdom of God, and your city can have a marketplace company, and your city can have revival, and you can have revival too.

What is going to happen to our cities in the near future? First we are transitioning to the next level of city church, we are going to transition from pastoral unity to apostolic unity, and the church in the marketplace or workplace will be established, and a bridge between the church and the workplace will be built this will serve for a divine continuing transfer of wealth. –(Isa. 60)

In addition, the Holy Spirit wants your city to become a city of the apostles not just for the apostles. A city of the apostles is filled with signs and wonders and revivals. –(Acts 15:4)

We must pray to the Father asking Him to make, teach and mold us to become sensitive to the Holy Spirit, the moves of God, the time and seasons, the timely of the Lord, and Apostles and Prophets. –(1 Thess. 5:19)

We must understand there are different kinds of apostles and we need to make room for them. Pray for the Lord to rise up apostles in your city, and for Him to send apostles to your city. Pray against the enemies of the apostles and those things that could hinder their ministry. Pray for the Lord to establish a big welcome mat and for the church of the city to give them the right hand of fellowship. Apostles must be welcomed and received. We must create environment for the ministry of the apostles. –-(Matt. 10:11-15)

First and foremost your city and the church of your city needs territorial apostles or you can say city church apostles. Apostles who have vision for your city and the church of your city that are called to give leadership and vision to the church of the city. –(Prov. 29:18)

The next is horizontal apostles, which is the same as the territorial apostles; horizontal apostles are one of the broad apostolic spheres of ministry, and the territorial apostle is one of the activities of the horizontal apostle. Some horizontal apostles are called to be city church apostle and others are called to another horizontal apostolic ministry. –(1 Cor. 12:4-6)

The next we need marketplace apostles or you can say workplace apostles; these are apostles who are called to minister in the marketplace. City Apostle and marketplace apostles are most likely to lead in Social transformation of our cities. –(2 Chron. 7:14)

There are other kinds of apostles that we should acknowledge in our cities; ecclesiastical apostles, congregational apostles, hyphenated apostles, and others. –(1 Thess. 5:12-13)

Prophets are to be received in our cities before we can witness of the ministry of the apostles. Prophets will prepare the way for apostles, and apostles will build environment for the prophetic ministry of the church. Apostles and prophets are foundational, revelational, impartational, reformational, revival, and social transformation ministry to the church. –(Eph. 2:20,3:5)

Apostles are gatekeepers in our cities, and prophets are watchmen of our cities, we need them both; apostolic and prophetic ministry is to be established at the gate of the city. –(Isa. 1:26)

We must have an ear to hear what the Holy Spirit is saying to us, and we must have an ear to hear what the Holy Spirit is saying to us through His prophets about our cities, before we can even think about apostles coming to our cities. –(Amos 3:7-8)

We must understand, know, and acknowledge the apostles who are already among us, and young apostles, and those who will be apostles. However, this is hard to be done without the aid of prophetic ministry in the church. –(Gal. 2:9, 1 Sam. 16:1-13)

We will have to teach on the ministry and workings of the Apostle to give faith, and understanding in order to prepare us to receive apostles. –(Rom. 15:15)

Furthermore, we must be willing to change our mindsets, church governments, views, and ways in order to be more applicable to the ministry of the Apostle and the Holy Spirit’s ministry through the apostles to us. –(Rom. 12:2)
