An average Christian is one who know Christ, goes to church service on Sunday morning, and maybe a weekday church service, and they give to their church often, and maybe pray a few minutes a day, and will try to be a witness for Christ. –(Jude 12)

What we think is an average Christian will change, what we think is church will change, what we think is church life will change, and what we think is the Christian life will change! For the face of the whole church will change in one generation! –(Heb. 9:10)

The Christian life will be the revival life, all believers will have revival, and this will be common and average. All believers will have the common power of God, and this will be common and average. All believers will move in spiritual gifts and have gifts of the Spirit, and this will be common, and average. All believers will be ministers of the work of the ministry, and this will be common and average. –(MK. 16:15-18)

The average Christian will be rising up as a priest in the church, they will be persons of prayer, and of the power of God, and the average Christian will be raise up as a king in the Kingdom ministering in the world around them, they move forth, they walk forth, they will take hold of the world around them, and change the world. –(1 Pet. 2:5,9)

The average Christian will prophecy, have vision and see dreams, they will flow in the common prophetic river that is giving to all believers in Christ. –(Acts 2:17-18)

The average Christian will flow in the power of God and flow in supernatural signs, they will flow in the common power of God, the believers will become supernatural again in the Holy Spirit. –(MK. 16:17-18)

The average Christian will know the Bible for them, they will know the Word, and they will know how to apply the Word to the world around them. –(Deut. 6:1-9)

The average Christian will know how to pray, will be a person of prayer, they may not pray for hours, instead they will know how to pray, they will be faithful in prayer, they will love to pray, they will seek the Lord faithfully, and they will pray at least an hour. –(1 Tim. 2:1)

The average Christian today will not be the average Christian tomorrow; the average Christian today will look like a weak believer, or a backslider. The spiritual leadership today will not be the spiritual leadership of tomorrow. The tomorrow-average Christian will be as the spiritual leadership today, and the spiritual leadership of tomorrow will be advance. The eminent spiritual leadership of today in our nation, and in our cities, tomorrow the advance spiritual leader will be eminent, and the spiritual leadership that stands out from among them as their role models and mentors will be super supernatural spiritual leaders. –(Eph. 4:11-12)

Everything you know of Church is changing; do not built on those things that will no longer be apart of the basic patterns of church, instead see by revelation and the prophetic and begin to build by grace and the leading of the Holy Spirit. –(1 Cor. 3:10)

Restoration of the Christian Life

Restoration of the Christian Life

Elvis Iverson
http://www.elvisiverson.com

The Modern Christian life is going to church on Sunday and then going home, you go to church, instead of being in the church, then you go to work and the church remains behind the four wall outside of your workplace, your home, and your life. –(Jn. 15:1-8)

The Christian Life is to live for Christ at home, at work, among your friends, and then in a church building. Worship is more then a service, instead it is a life with God in all you do throughout the week. –(Col. 3:12-17)

The face of the Church will change in one generation, the Christian life will change in one generation, the face of church life will change in one generation, and the workplace will change in one generation. We live in radical apostolic times of the Spirit, from the Throne Room the Voice of the Lord is calling for changes to all things we know of, this is the day we are entering into radical change. –(Heb. 12:25-29)

The Christian life will be the life of revival, the life of the church will be a life of revival, and your workplace will have workplace revival, and revivals will fill the church in all places, and revivals will pour out and overflow from the church unto nations and cities around the world. –(Matt. 3:11-12)

We are in a time of reformation, this is the third reformation of the church, the reformation of all things in the church, and this reformation is laying the foundation for massive revivals, lasting revivals, revivals, revival movements, and resting revivals, and the revival life. –(Heb. 9:10)

Restoration of the Christian Life:

1. Relationship with Christ: To know Christ, to begin a true relationship with Him, to have on going relationship in truth and grace. Relationship with God is above the congregation, above the workplace, above the home life, above all things in this life; instead relationship with God gives meaning to the home life, workplace, congregation, and all things in this life.
2. Build on Relationship: We are called to be in relationship with God, love God, and be in unity with Him, and likewise we are called to build relationships with one another, to love one another, to pray for one another, and to be in unity with one another.
3. Know the Holy Scriptures: Every believer, not just a few, instead all in the church is to study and meditate on the Word for themselves, We are not to wait for someone to preach or teach the Word, instead we are to already know the Word, Children are to know the Word, and Young and teenagers are to know the Word. The Word, the Bible is the final authority in life.
4. Restoration of the Home life: Fathers are to be spiritual leaders, they are lead their homes in prayer and Bible Study, Fathers are to teach their children and Husbands are to love their wives, Mothers are to teach their Children, and Wives are to love their Husbands. Both Husbands and Wives are to love and teach one another in Christ. Moreover, this is where the church in the home begins, this is where the church life begins, and this is where the Christian life begins. We must restore the church life in the home; Christians need to return to meeting in their homes.
5. Restoring the believer’s ministry: We as believers in Christ are all priesthood, the church is a holy royal priesthood. The believers are called to 98% percent of the ministry, it is the believers who are called to do the work of the ministry, and the five-fold ministry is called to equipped the believers for the work of ministry.
6. Restoration of kings in Christ: Every believer in Christ is called to be a king in the King of kings in His Kingdom on Earth. Apostolic ministry is to teach and rise up kings for the Kingdom.
7. The Common Power of God: All believers are to prophecy, have visions and dream dreams, they are to have supernatural signs, gifts of the Spirit and the power of God.
8. The Revival Life: I believe all believers are to have revival, personal revival for all believers; the life of revival is for every believer in Christ.
9. Restoration of Joy: every believer is to serve the Lord with gladness, having the joy of the Lord in all areas of a believer’s life. Christians are to rejoice in the Lord, Sunday is a time for joy, fellowship with other believers is a time of joy, and your life is to have the joy of the Lord.
10. Fellowship with the City Church: There is only one church in each city; there are many congregations within one city church. Believers are called to have more things in common, and to reach the day that we have all things in common.

We have entered into the third reformation, the life of a Christian will change radical, the life of the church will change radical. Reformation is preparing the way for revivals, many revivals and the revival life that is coming soon. The next level of city church is upon us, the new apostolic city church will arise in many cities, and the new apostolic congregation shall arise in many cities, and the New Apostolic Church will arise in the church in all cities and in all nations around the world, and the church in the home will be restored. –(Hab. 2:2-3)

Error and Out of Order, What spirit are you of?

Error and Out of Order, What spirit are you of?

Elvis Iverson
http://www.elvisiverson.com

There is a fine lime between truth and error; you may say you are in truth, however without the nature of Christ along with truth, you will not be in truth. Truth is more then words, it is also the nature of Christ. –(Phil. 2:1-11)

How do you discern something? Does it line up with Holy Scriptures? Does it line up with the nature of Christ? Does it line up with the Holy Spirit? Is there a witness of anointing or power? –(1 Jn. 4:1-6, Matt. 22:29, Acts 17:11, 1 Cor. 4:29,10, Matt. 7:15-20, Jn. 16:13-15)

You can error in truth more then one way, you may be right in doctrine and error in practice or error in lifestyle. Do you have a pattern of healthy and sound teaching? Do you have a pattern of sound lifestyle? Do you have a life of sound patterns? You can error more then one way, and truth is more then words, it is life, however it begins with the Word of God, you just can’t know the Holy Scriptures they must be written upon your heart! –(Jam. 5:19-20, 3:13-18)

Do you hear what the Holy Spirit is speaking unto the Church? Do you hear what the Holy Spirit is speaking through the apostles and prophets? Can you hear the Holy Spirit when He is speaking through others? –(Rev. 2:29)

Hearing is more then hearing; hearing means you not only hear you receive what you hear. There is anointing that is placed upon a congregation, a network, a ministry, and if are to belong to that group of people you have the anointing that is place upon that group in order to follow and flow with the them. –(1 Jn. 4:5-6)

If you can’t hear the Holy Spirit speaking through apostles and prophets it is for the reason you are in error, and you may have a spirit of error. Those who hear and receive have the Spirit of Truth, and are apart of their company, those who don’t hear and receive them that mean you have a spirit of error and you are not apart of their company. –(1 Jn. 4:1-6)

When things are from the Holy Spirit, and when persons are Holy Spirit lead, when the Holy Spirit is speaking through a person and you don’t hear and receive the words that they are speaking, it is that you have a spirit of error and you may be out of connection with the Body. –(1 Jn. 4:1-6)

You can be born again, and have a spirit of error, you can be baptized into the Body of Christ and be out of connection with the church, if you don’t hear and receive from the Holy Spirit through others you are out of connection with the church, if you don’t hear and receive the manifestation of the headship of Christ, the ministries of the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ you are out of connection with church, if you don’t hear and receive the fellowship with the body you are out of connection with the church, and if you don’t hear and receive relationship with the believers and the leadership you are out of connection with the church. –(1 Jn. 4:1-6)

You can belong to a congregation, belong to a network, belong to a company, belong to a group in the church, but if you don’t hear and receive the body and leadership of the church you are out of connection with the church. –(1 Cor. 11:27-34)

It is demons, evil spirits, lies and religion that hinder us from truth, revelation, new moves of God, the third reformation, apostles, and prophets, and revivals. –(1 Tim. 4:1, Matt. 15:3)

If you cannot receive an apostle that the Lord has sent to you, if you cannot receive a prophet that the Lord has sent to you; that means you have a spirit of error! –(1 Jn. 4:5-6)

If you cannot honor the apostles and the prophets that the Lord has sent you have a spirit of error. The Lord did not send you His apostles and prophets for you to be friends with them, but to hear what the Holy Spirit is saying through them, and to apply the work of the Holy Spirit that is in their lives into your life. –(Matt. 10:5-15,40-42, Matt. 23:34, LK. 11:49, Rev. 18:20)

It is funny that people will honor, hear, and receive those that have no anointing, or little anointing, those who have no revelation, those who don’t have any manifestation of the Spirit, and at the same time don’t hear and receive those who have anointing, revelation, and a manifestation of the Spirit. We have people who can’t since the anointing, gifting, and even went they witness the manifestation of the Spirit that they still don’t open their eyes and ears to receive. This is for reason they have a spirit of error! –(1 Jn. 4:5-6)

If you say you can hear the Holy Spirit in your life, but cannot hear the Holy Spirit speaking through others, then you may not be hearing the Holy Spirit in your life? –(Heb. 3:7-15,19,4:2,7)

Apart from that, new wineskins are coming forth that can connect with one another, and a new wineskin that is coming forth for all to apply and be reformed. There is a connecting networking new wineskin that will connect all new wine skins together, and there is a common new wine skin that is coming forth. Apostles and prophets are the foundation of the church, foundation of the city church, and foundation to these new apostolic congregations that are coming forth. The apostolic government of the church is been establishing globally in the church around the world, God’s order is being established in a order of freedom, liberty for the manifestation of the Spirit and the work of the ministry under the oversight of apostles. If you cannot receive or apply this you are out of order. –(1 Cor. 12:28)

There is a massive reformation coming forth, this is the reformation of all things, this is the third reformation, and this is called the new apostolic reformation; if you cannot receive, apply, change, and be reformed you are out of order. –(Heb. 9:10,12:25-29)

There is the reformation that is corporate reformation, and then there is personal reformation, if you don’t receive the corporate reformation and if you don’t go through personal reformation you are out of order. –(Heb. 9:10)

There is a time to be apart of a fellowship, which is always, and then there is a time to be away from a fellowship, for reasons, that you going through a wilderness experience, you are about to give birth to something new, or you doing missionary work, and there could be other reasons, but in all things you are not apart from fellowship, you may be away from a fellowship, but not without fellowship. The wilderness experience is not for life, and should not last a long time, we as Christians are to be in fellowship with one another to be in a fellowship, and this is God’s will. –(1 Jn. 1:7)

Did the Holy Spirit led you, are you following the Holy Spirit leading, what is leading you, what is your motive? Has the Lord lead you do that kind of ministry? We need to learn to be led by the Holy Spirit and to know if what has lead us in a certain way of ministry. Is it your God giving purpose; is it your God giving vision? –(1 Thess. 5:16-22)

The conclusion of these matters is what spirit are you of? If something is of the Holy Spirit there is truth, and nature of Christ, if what you are speaking is not anointed, and you feel something being release as they speak, what spirit are they of? When in fellowship with a person, and you feel like something evil have got on you during your time of fellowship, what spirit are they of? If you’re at a meeting, if your hearing a sermon or teaching, and if someone is giving you are prophecy, and you since something is not right, it seem that some evil; thing has jump on you, what spirit are they of? If Christians don’t walk in love, what spirit are they of? If Christians are not open to the ministry of the Holy Spirit, what spirit are they of? If Christians are not open to the LORD sent apostles and the LORD send prophets, what spirit are they of? It is sure not the Holy Spirit! It is sure not truth! It is sure not the nature of Christ! It is sure not from God! –(Heb. 4:12, 5:14)

Be Content in your Present Suffering

Be Content in your Present Suffering

Elvis Iverson
http://www.elvisiverson.com

Many of you are going through various trials, sufferings, tests, and afflictions. All things that come our way are not always from the devil. At the same note God does not bring evil to us however, He is dealing and raising us up for His purposes and plans. –(Jam. 1:2-8,12-17)

We must learn to be content in our present suffering, and no longer to be in complaining and disputing, instead rejoice, give thank to the Lord be thankful, praise the Lord and worship Him. You have been without joy for too long, repent and believe for a restoration of joy in your life. –(Phil. 4:4, 1 Thess. 5:16-18)

Look at the prophets in the Bible as an example of suffering and patience. Patience is the foundation to character. The testing of your faith produces patience; every person in Christ will go through the works of patience, to become mature. We can see the sufferings of Job and even Joseph that the end intended by the Lord is very compassionate and merciful. –(Jam. 5:10-11)

All those who desire to live godly, meaning to obey their purpose and destiny in Christ will suffer persecution. Through suffering you learn obedience, and you overcome weakness. No one likes suffering however; it is one of the ways of God to enter into life with God, and to know His presence. Suffering prepares us to receive revelation, and revelation brings suffering, that is why we need grace. Once when you need grace you will overcome your suffering. –(2 Tim. 3:12, Heb. 5:8, 1 Pet. 4:1, Heb. 4:16)

Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the LORD delivers him out of all them. Through the teaching of the Holy Spirit and knowledge of the Holy Scriptures the Lord will give you rest from the days of adversity.

The refining pot is for silver and the furnace for gold, but the LORD tests the hearts. The words of the LORD are pure words, like silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. Joseph was tested by the word of the LORD until the time that his word came to pass. For a righteous man may fall seven times and raise again, for the steps of a good man is ordered by the LORD, through he falls, he shall not be utterly cast down, for the LORD upholds him with His hand, and seven times a day we are to praise the Lord. –(Prov. 17:3, Psa. 119:164, Psa. 105:17-19, Psa. 34:19, Psa. 94:12-13, Psa. 12:6, Psa. 24:16)

There are sufferings that we will go through to reach our destiny. The Lord tests our hearts, The words of the Lord will test us seven times, will purify us seven times, and each time we are to praise the Lord. Joseph’s tests ended when He was promoted, this is an example to us that the Lord will complete His work that is done for us, in order to enter into our destiny. These tests are not for life however, this does not mean that you will not go through any other suffering, etc. it is just that the suffering to enter your destiny will end when you are promoted to enter into your destiny.

We must learn God’s perceptive on suffering. We must see His perceptive during the hard times in order to move on with our life. We must pray for the wisdom of God and pray for revelation, move in that wisdom and revelation that comes from prayer. We are not to be double minded during trials, instead be steadfast in faith and pray in faith. Have hope, hope is your anchor, hope is your tree of life, and hope will bring love and a merry heart, which does good like medicine and brings inner healing and healing love. –(Jam 1:2-8)

Pray for revelation about the mistakes that you have made, so that you don’t redo them again, pray for revelation of your sufferings, hard times, and tests that you will learn from them. –(Eccl. 1:18)

Above all have a change of heart! If you want to get the best out of your sufferings allow the Holy Spirit to change your heart, and surrender to the Lord and allow Him to take you through the process, the more you fight the longer and more time it will take. –(Gen. 32:22-32)

The Coming UNITY

The Coming UNITY

Elvis Iverson
http://www.elvisiverson.com

Praying prayers for unity is the heart of God, unity is God’s will, and the whole church will come into unity in the future. The church will always increase in unity until they come into the fullness of unity. Some don’t believe or like unity, they think unity is evil, they call good evil, and instead unity is good meaning biblical unity. –(1 Cor. 1:10)

There is coming a strong sense of unity among many believers around the world from their identity with Christ, and the knowledge that we are all one in Christ. We will see besides these revivals of unity meaning many walking in love toward one another. –(Psa. 133)

City Church Unity is growing among believers in cities around the world. We will go from pastoral unity to apostolic unity meaning we will enter into the next level and growth of city church. This will be an increase of unity among congregations within a city. This could bring forth city church movements around the world, the vision and revelation of the city church will be release, and many will run with patience and wisdom with mission purpose toward the set vision of the city church. –(Rev. 1:20)

We have already entered into a massive reformation of the church. All things that are not according to His Word, Nature, Order and His Will be burn up through the fires of reformation, and all things that are will be place through the fires of reformation to become more pure, the groups and congregations that remain will have an oneness among them, and they will increase and fill the earth. This unity will grow and mature until the birthing of the mature city church, the end time church. –(Heb. 9:10)

The unity of the Spirit will come, meaning the order of the Spirit among all spiritual gifts, all believers will not lack in their spiritual gifts, and they will know their place, the church will be full with spiritual gifts; there are more spiritual gifts then the nine gifts of the manifestation of the Holy Spirit however, the church will be filled with gifts of the Spirit. The unity of the Spirit is the supernatural government of the church in order and place. Flowing together in unity and oneness. –(Eph. 4:3)

The Unity of the faith will come; what is the unity of the Faith? It is the knowledge of the Son of God, to a prefect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ. The Church will come into the unity of the faith; the church will become a united in the end times. –(Eph. 4:13)

The Unity of the Godhead is the same unity that is among the Godhead and the church will have that unity, unity with God, and unity with one another. The fullness of unity is the Unity of the Spirit, the Unity of the Faith and the Unity of the Godhead. The Unity of the Spirit is unity and cooperation of spiritual gifts, the unity of the Faith is the mature city church, and the unity of the Godhead is the oneness of the Godhead in us and with us. –(Jn. 17:15-23)

Unity will come, we will grow into unity, we will mature into unity, and we will arise into unity, from reconciliation, to unity, and them to oneness these are the steps and growth of true unity that is coming to the church around the world. –(Matt. 5:23-24, Psa. 133, Eph. 4:4-6)

Focusing and Understanding the Future

Focusing and Understanding the Future

Elvis Iverson
http://www.elvisiverson.com

Today’s article came through years of study through the Holy Scriptures, Word revelation, prophetic revelation, visions and prophecy. In this article I am not making a new doctrine, only sharing what the Holy Spirit has showed me about the future.

Most end time teaching is in the realm of deduction; when you begin to teach on the end time always begin with the absolute of the end times, which is the return of our Lord Jesus Christ. I have heard many end time teaching, although most of it was not anointed, had no grace and peace. So at that time I didn’t teach anything on the end times, instead I prayed to the Father teach me the end times the way you understand it, then the Holy Spirit begun to teach me and show me about the end times, and over the years He has showing me more, to the glory of Christ.

To everything there is a season, a time for every purpose under heaven, a wise man’s heart can discern both time and judgment, because for every matter there is a time and judgment, It is the Lord who changes the times and seasons, it is He who reveals deep and secret things like times and seasons to those who seek His face. With this knowledge we are to be redeeming the time. Surely the Lord God does nothing, unless He reveals His secrets to His servants the prophets! It is the will of the Lord for us to know times and seasons, and to know what time we are living in, and the future, this will come through prayer, and hearing what the Prophets are saying. –(Eccl. 3:1, 8:5-6, Dan. 2:21,22, Eph. 5:16, Amos 3:7-8)

After two days He will revive us, and on the third day He will raise us up, in the beginning of the church it was foreseen that a great apostasy will come, this came to pass during the dark ages, and then there came a time of restoration of the church, we are still in that day, we are coming to end of this restoration of the church, at the end of this restoration will come a massive reformation of the church, the apostolic church will arise, the church of reformation, and then the day will come that the apostolic church gives birth to the Kingdom Church, which is the mature city church, the church in the end times. One day with the Lord is as a thousand years and a thousand years as one day; here we can see the time of the great apostasy, the time of restoration, now we come to the time of the apostolic church, which will bring us to the end time church, the Kingdom Church. The Holy Spirit has giving me insights into 10 years, then He give me insights into 100 years, and now He has giving me insights into 1000 years. We have entered into a new apostolic age this will last many years, many years, and beyond our own time. God moves in times of patience, if you want to understand God’s time understand He is a God of patience. Then from patience, there will come times of suddenly and immediately, and we have entered in another time of suddenly and immediately however most things God does is done through times of patience, He work through patience, and some times in those times He bring the suddenly and the immediately. –(Hosea 6:1-3, 2 Pet. 3:8, Rev. 20:4-6)

The Book of Revelation Is a Book of revelation of Jesus Christ, the fifth gospel, it is a revelation of what Jesus did on the earth from Heaven’s viewpoint, The Book of Revelation is a Book of worship, Is a Book of Victory, and it is a Book how will Jesus take over the world. The Book of Revelation is not about the Anti-Christ and Satan taking over the world, there is no anti Christ, the new millennial, the symbol of millennial is fullness. The Great Tribulation happens in 70 A.D. The Kingdom of God has already came through Jesus Christ when He ascended and seated at The Father’s right Hand, this begin His reign on earth from Heaven, and when He return He will reign over heaven from earth. The Kingdom of God is increasing throughout the earth, leading steps to the return of Christ. The future of the Church is glorious; Israel and the Church will come into holy oneness, all of Israel will be saved. There will be peace between Israel, Egypt and Iraq, and this is the key to peace in the Middle East. Satan and his kingdom of darkness is losing the war, and the Kingdom of God and the Church is increasing, light is increasing and darkness is decreasing, the future of the world is bright through the hands of the kings of the Kingdom and Jesus Christ our Lord. –Isa. 19:18-25, Matt. 23,24, Rev. 1:1-3)

We have been in the time of restoration, now we are coming to the end of the restoration, and at the end of this restoration, will be times of reformation of all things, this is what we have already enter into. –(Acts 3:19-21, Heb. 9:10)

This is what will happen in the next thousand years, as I write them down, I am not saying that all this will happen in the order that I think I see it, however, I do believe all these things will happen.

1. We have come to the day of the third reformation of the Church, the new apostolic reformation, this will be a reformation of all things in the church; this will be a massive reformation.
2. We have come to the beginning of the end of restoration of the priesthood, and we have entered into the beginning of the restoration of the kings of the Kingdom.
3. We will see the restoration of the Glory of the Lord in the church, the church will become full of revivals, and glory, and the church will become the glorious church, from the church the revivals will overflow into the nations and cities, and begin the healing of the nations, the healing of nations will come through revival, the earth will be full of the glory of the Lord this will come through the Church being full and overflowing unto the nations, the restoration of glory will come through revivals.
4. The Apostolic Church is the church of the reformation, and church that shall arise and fill the whole church. It is the apostolic church that shall give birth to the kingdom Church, which is the mature city church, the church of the end times.
5. The City Church today shall go from pastoral unity to apostolic unity. The next level of City Church is coming which shall be city church networks being lead by city church apostles, and city church centers being built as centers for the city church.
6. The arising of the city church in every city of every nation, arising into the next level of city church growth.
7. Signs and wonders, the gifts of the Spirit, and power of God will be everywhere in the church, the church will be filled with power and the Gifts of the Spirit.
8. The arising of apostolic networks all over the world, these will replace all over kinds of companies and groups of churches.
9. Among the Apostles, among the apostolic networks, among the congregations and the city church there will be unity and oneness among the groups that remain throughout the reformation, there will come oneness and unity among them.
10. The Church in the workplace will be established and grow in every city and in every nation.
11. There will come massive harvests of souls, I foresee seven waves of harvest. And we will come to the fullness and fulfillment of the great commission. In a future article I will share about these seven coming harvest waves.
12. The earth will become full of glory, first the church will become full of glory, and then the gory will overflow into the world. There will come many revivals, and life of the church will be one of revival, and the Christian life will be one of revival however, I foresee five major revivals that will be the major fulfillment of the restoration of the glory of the Lord in the earth. These five major revivals will be the fire of the Holy Spirit, the Water of the Holy Spirit, the Wind of the Holy Spirit, and the Oil of the Holy Spirit and the Wine of the Holy Spirit; there will be revivals leading to these five major revivals.

From apostolic unity there will come city church unity. Yes city church begins with pastoral unity, and then goes to apostolic unity and from their goes to Kingdom Church unity. The arise of the city church in every city of every nation, first the next level of the city church which I call it apostolic unity will come, and from that time the City church will mature until we come to the fullness of the city church, the mature city church, the Kingdom Church, the church of the end times. The Apostolic Church will grow and increase throughout the Church around he world, the church be filled with the Apostolic church, then shall give birth to the mature city church, the Kingdom Church, the Church in the End times. The Apostolic Church is the Joshua Generations, and the Kingdom Church is the Davidic Generations.

The Unity of the Faith will come; the Church will grow, increase, and mature in unity until the Unity of the Faith is birth, this will be through the City Church. The Apostolic Church will grow in unity to a degree that it gives birth to the mature city church and the fullness of unity, the unity of the faith. The Church will fill with glory through the coming revivals and the many revivals, the church be filled with revivals, and the church in the end times is the glorious church, full of glory. –(Eph. 4:13, 5:27)

I believe Daniel 12:3-4 is coming to pass before our eyes, and this is the times we will live in, the wise shall shine like the brightness of the firmament, and they will turn many to righteousness, and they will become like stars, and many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall increase, and the knowledge of the Lord will increase.

New Beginnings

New Beginnings

Elvis Iverson
http://www.elvisiverson.com


We have believed and prayed for new beginnings. God is the God of new beginnings, Jesus is the Lord of New Beginning and the Holy Spirit is the Spirit of New Beginnings. Every person can have a new beginning and a fresh start In Christ. –(Hab. 3:2)

When you come to know Christ you become a new creation; old things have pass away and all things have become new, this is a fresh start in Christ. When you confess your sins, Jesus is faithful and to forgive you of your sins and cleanse you from all unrighteousness. This is a new beginning, a fresh start in Christ. –(2 Cor. 5:17, 1 Jn. 1:9)

When we have done wrong to others in Christ, when they have done wrong to us, etc. we can believe for forgiveness and healing to come between, and begin to love again. There could be a new beginning if we believe in God. –(Matt. 5:23-24)

Jesus Christ is our Jubilee; in Him we can have the year of Jubilee, many people have a lot of financial debts when we have not been good stewards, we can cry out to our Lord In Heaven and our heavenly father, breakthroughs will come, and we will be lead out of debt by the Holy Spirit. God will give us a new beginning, a fresh start in Christ. –(Lev. 25:12)

Every morning can be a new beginning in Christ. When we come to the Throne for grace and mercy, mercy is giving to us that we can have a new beginning, mercy is apply to our lives that we can have a new beginning for His mercies are new every morning, and the Lord has made every day, we can rejoice in the Lord every day. –(Lam. 3:22-23, Heb. 4:16)

The Bible talks about in the end times there will be a new heaven and a new earth, this is a new beginning for the earth that will come when Jesus returns to Earth. The end times are the beginning days of new beginnings; the end of the world is a new beginning. –(Rev. 21:1-2)

Today the Apostles have been restored to the church, and the church has entered into a new beginning, a fresh start; this is a new day for the church, this is a new beginning for the church. We have entered into the new apostolic age, a new beginning for the church. The restoration of apostles earmarks the days of new beginnings for the Church. –(Matt. 20:16)

The Bible says that the Lord says; “Behold I will do a new thing, and new things I declare.” This is the proof that the will of the Lord is new things, new days, new beginnings, and fresh starts. Eight is the number of new beginnings; seven is the number of completeness, we have entered into the time of the works of completeness and we have come to the time of new beginnings. We are not to despise the day of small things; instead we are to be patient in prayer and vision. –(Isa. 43:18-19, 42:9, Zech. 4:10, Eccl. 7:8)

The Ministry of Milk and Meat

The Ministry of Milk and Meat

Elvis Iverson
http://www.elvisiverson.com


The Holy Spirit is speaking to the congregations in all cities in all nations about the ministry of the Word, which is the Ministry of Milk and Meat, and which is the ministry to the lambs and sheep. –(Eph. 5:25-27, Acts 6:2,4)

In many congregations we hear only milk teaching, there is spiritual hunger for meat. Milk is for babes and children; meat is for the young and fathers. Milk is for growing in Christ and learning how to live as a Christian, meat is for ministry, warfare, and the overcoming life. I had a dream once that I see people seated at a table, with only meat, I was the person who was giving them the meat, and that the Lord has called me to the ministry of the meat of the Word. –(1 Cor. 3:1-2, Heb. 5:12-14, 1 Pet. 2:2, 1 Jn. 2:12-14)

There are times we are to minister milk to the congregation, and there are times we are to minister meat to the congregation. Their need to be a balance diet in your congregation, and with both milk and meat there need to be an application, and environment for the application; the application of the Holy Scriptures is one of the ways to social transformation. Along with the application of the Word, there needs to be an application of the Holy Spirit, power, and manifestation, which means we are to teach the power of God too. –(Jam. 1:21-27, 2:14-26)

You are to feed the lambs first with the milk of the Word, then give them a little meat, and you are to feed the sheep with more meat and then give them some milk beside, we are to give them the drink of the Spirit to both lamb and sheep. –(Jn. 21:15-19)

Babes are to be disciple, when a person comes to know Christ they are to go through discipleship. Then children are to be train up in the milk of the Word. Young warriors are to be mentored into their gifts and calling. We are to minister more meat to the young warriors. Meat is for the warrior in Christ. Young warriors are to become skillful in meat, and then the mature believer is giving the most sold food. –(Matt. 28:19-20, Col. 2:6-10)

We are to feed the Word to the church in milk and meat, and we are kept both lamps and sheep fed. Then there are times that we must minister the Word to equip the saints in the application of the Word and the application of the Spirit in power. –(Eph. 4:12)

It is time for our congregations to be sound and healthy in the Word, in the lifestyle, in the order, and in the Spirit. We need a team of elders, more then just one minister ministering in the congregation. We need the five grace government gifts ministering in order, vision, and Spirit being lead by a senior elder who is an apostle, above all under the leadership of the Holy Spirit. –(Tit. 2:1)

Restoration of the Word of Knowledge

Restoration of the Word of Knowledge

Elvis Iverson
http://www.elvisiverson.com

One of the revelational gifts of the Spirit is the Word of Knowledge. The Word of Knowledge is a word about the past to heal the heart, or confirm a thing, or conform that you are from God, and it is an action word, a now word that bring power, breakthrough and the demonstration of the Holy Spirit. –(1 Cor. 12:7,11,8)

When moving in the Word of Knowledge or any other revelational, utterance or prophetic gifting one must use wisdom, discretion. You may see things or hear things that you are not to say about a person you are ministering to, or you are not to tell another person about what the Holy Spirit has shown you about any person. –(Heb. 5:14)

The Word of Knowledge flows with other gifts such as the demonstration gifts of the Holy Spirit. Power is now, a Word of Knowledge release the power to perform the task at hand. –(1 Cor. 12:7-11)

The Word of Knowledge could be used in speaking a word that heal the sick and cast out demons, even ministering to a whole group at once, one word can heal all and set all free. –(Matt. 8:16-17)

One time a brother in Christ call me on the phone asking me to pray for him to fine a job, I prayed and then a Word of Knowledge was giving and the next morning they obeyed it, and brought him to two places, and then he didn’t see the word come pass yet, but waited then later that day the word came to pass. Praise Jesus! –(Jam. 2:14-26)

One time I was ministering to a person who was sick. I then was giving a Word of Knowledge, speaking a word than they were healed. Praise Jesus! –(Psa. 107:20)

Another time I was ministering to a person who was being attack by evil spirits, I prayed and a Word of knowledge came, I spoke this word to this person who was suffering, in a few days there came extreme deliverance not by me, instead by an act of the Holy Spirit, the Holy Spirit came upon this person at home, and demons begun to be cast out by the working of the Holy Spirit. Praise Jesus! –(Matt. 17:20)

The Gifts of the Spirit are keys to minister to others and us. The Holy Spirit gives each one and at least each believer should have one of these gifts. These are anointings and graces that you could walk in all the time or at any time, and at the leading of the Holy Spirit, they don’t just come and go, when the Holy Spirit gives you a gift, its there to say for the glory of Christ. You are to pray for the Gifts of the Spirit to be in your life and your church. –(1 Pet. 4:10-11)

The Gifts of the Spirit are manifestation of power; there are the revelational gifts, utterances gifts, and the demonstration gifts. Revelational gifts are the Word of Wisdom, Word of Knowledge, and gift of discernment. Utterances gifts are the gift of prophecy, divers kinds of tongues, and interpretation of tongues. Demonstration gifts are the gift of faith, gifts of Healing, and working of miracles. –(1 Cor. 12:1,4-11,31,14:1,12)

We are not to come short or lacking in no spiritual gift or gift, meaning you church is not to lack in any of the gifts that are giving, and spiritual gifts, meaning the city church of your city is not to go without any gift or spiritual gift, and this is the will of Christ for the church. –(1 Cor. 1:7

Raise The Dead

Raise The Dead

Elvis Iverson
http://www.elvisiverson.com

Healing the sick, working of miracles, casting out demons, and raising the dead will become common among believers. This is called the common power of God. Signs, gifts of the Spirit and the power of God are going to be poured out upon the church. –(MK. 16:17-18)

In the Holy Scriptures raising the dead was performed. From Elijah, Elisha, Jesus Christ, the apostles of the Lamb, Apostle Peter, and Apostle Paul, and through history and even today. –(1 Kings 17:17-24, 2 Kings 4:8-37, LK. 7:11-17, Matt. 10:1,7-8, Acts 9:36-43, Acts 20:7-12)

Do you believe that the dead can rise in the name of Jesus? You should believe for soon this would become common, even right now as I am speaking the dead are arising through the hands of believers in nations around the world. Soon there will be an outpouring of signs, healings, miracles, and raining the dead, and these things will become common to hear and to do in the name of Jesus and through the power of the Holy Spirit that is upon you. –(1 Cor. 2:4-5)

There is a special anointing be imparted into certain members in the church that will move in a ministry of raising the dead along with there ministry of signs and wonders. Apostles and prophets will raise the dead too! –(1 Cor. 12:4-7)

There will be an outpouring and manifestation of the Spirit upon the church beginning in certain places where many numbers will be raining from the dead through the hands of believers. –(Prov. 29:18)

Any believer with faith could raise the dead in the name of Jesus Christ. It only takes faith and the church again will have faith to heal, cast out demons, perform miracles, and even raise the dead. –(2 Tim. 3:5)

The demonstration gifts of the Spirit will become common, and the Gift of Faith will be used to raise the dead along with the working of miracles and the revelational gift of the Word of Knowledge. –(1 Cor. 12:7,11,10,9,8)

Those with a Word of Knowledge will speak to the dead raise and they will come alive. Above this at the name of Jesus we will command the dead to arise and it will happen; for an example pointing your finger at a dead person commanding the person’s spirit to return to their body and to come alive again in the name of Jesus! –(JN. 14:12-14)

There will be healing services, signs and wonders services, and even raising the dead service where many will arise from the dead. Yes we will see many arise from the dead during supernatural meetings. I had prophecy once that I foresee a great numbers rising from the dead numbering about an army. –(Heb. 2:4)

Jesus said we would do greater works then He done during His ministry on earth. He said the church would do greater works then He. He said you, as a believer will do greater works then He. Do you believe what Jesus had said? –(JN. 14:12-14)

The Coming Visions of Unity

The Coming Visions of Unity

Elvis Iverson
March 1, 2007
http://www.elvisiverson.com

The Holy Spirit is saying come up here to the great mountain of the Kingdom, and to the City of God, which is the Church. Can you see the two angels or more, with huge long swords moving in all areas from the north, south, east and west, these are the angels that stand guard day and night at the gates of the city of God.

The Holy Spirit said to the angles let them pass, and we entered into the city. Can you see the Holy Spirit? He is a mighty great wind and mighty great fire. Wow what a vision!

We enter into the city of God, and enter into the realm of visions, revelations, encounters of the God. Can you see Paul the apostle? He says it is time for the church to enter into the realm of visions, revelations and encounters, and never to leave again, faith for the supernatural in the Holy Spirit; you will live in both realms and never be without this realm. This realm is protected by those angels are the gate of the city of God.

The Holy Spirit comes before us in a form of a man of light, fire, glory, and water and wind altogether. He says; “I have brought you here to see that church, will have this realm and never to be without it. Then we see a river pass by, that had a beginning and an end, and it is like this river is a living being. The Holy Spirit says that is only one of the rivers that been release, and that is an angel. Some things are manifested in the earth as a river, etc, this angel river begin to wrap around us a few times to form a new environment around us.

Then the Holy Spirit says now I want to show you the visions of unity for the church.

I could see unity come upon a church of a nation. Unity begun to arise, I see apostles united in vision and revival. I see city church networks and city church centers, and the glory and fire visiting, and resting. There seem no end to the moves of God, revivals, outpourings of the Holy Spirit, and church growth.

Now I see unity coming upon a church of a nation. Certain groups or movements begin to have their eyes open, new leadership came forth, and vision. Unity came as a fire in the night. New freedom came for believers in this nation. I see within certain cities Christians from certain groups and others Christians walking, crying, praying, and singing, and at certain gathering points in a city where servants ministering and teachings, this whole thing was a feast of celebration that will happen every year, it is a celebration of freedom of the church. Then in each of these cities were centers of prayer and worship, and around these centers throughout the city were huge churches.

Now I see unity coming upon a group of national churches, sample faith, along with revival came forth and unity came to every place in these nations. The banners that I see were all banners of common bond and a new birth of church and wineskins came forth, however from this sample faith and revival came holy changes and radical, supernatural wineskins with new wines.

Now I see unity coming upon a group of national churches in nations. I see reformation, deliverance, the removing of barriers and walls; the face of the church change in these nations; then I seen flags of unity fly all over these nations, and I see liquid revival fill these nations and national churches.

Now I see unity coming upon another group of churches of nations, I see massive changes to the governments of these nations, it’s like they never seen it coming. Massive souls being brought to the Lord all over, huge meetings with signs and wonders, huge churches growing and coming forth like in a few moments of time. I see huge gatherings in center places within these cities. I see city church apostles lead with grace and freedom. Revivals all over the places, it looks very out of the order, those not under the Spirit could not understand.

Now I see unity coming upon a church of a nation; I see the city church grows very huge and huge center built for the purpose of the city church. Huge numbers are saved, most the city is saved, and revival seems to never end, revival-overwhelming most of the time. There are many huge churches in this city.

Now I see unity coming upon a church of nation; revival falls upon this nation like rain. Revival has freedom to rain and reign. New churches are birth. Huge worship meetings, believers in cities gather in unity, apostolic leaders lead in grace and vision. It seem there was never any division in the church.

The Holy Spirit says therefore these visions are in future, and in your hearts, be blessed, for blessings will flow from these visions in your life, grace will flow, supernatural power will flow, breakthroughs will flow in your life.

An angel of warning stands before me, saying those who hear the revelation in another city will prosper, those who do not will not prosper, there prosperity will be taking away from them, and giving to those who hear, and those who hear will increase, and those who don’t hear will decrease, and be no more.

Biblical Restoration

Biblical Restoration

Elvis Iverson
http://www.elvisiverson.com

Sound Character is a major qualification for church leaders. Those church leaders who walk in sound character are most likely to walk in sound doctrine; both are needed for a sound and healthy church. It says that leaders will have a stricter judgment then others. This is why leaders must be accountable and be responsible for there actions. –(Jam. 3:1)

This is why we need outside accountability with mature apostles, and oversight accountability to mature apostles. Spiritual leaders need a safely net to heal, restore, and hold them up through sufferings, setbacks, and even when they made an error or make mistake. We cannot throw away spiritual sons, spiritual daughter, follow ministers, and those who have been in covenant networking relationship for years. –(Eph. 5:21)

How the mighty have fallen, and the weapons of war perished! The Holy Spirit raises and trains those anointed servants, they take years of Holy Spirit dealing, time and more time, and then they make a mistake and we give up on them. The righteous steps are order by the Lord though they fall, they will not be utterly cast down for the LORD upholds them with His hand. For a righteous man may fall seven times and rise again. The Lord is doing a work in each on of us; this work takes a lifetime. We must know and believe that He has a plan for us; a future and we can have hope. –(2 Sam. 1:21, Psa. 37:23-24, Prov. 24:16)

We need to remember the labor of faith and love that these spiritual leaders have done, even the Lord remembers there ministry unto Him, however it seem we forget what kind of servants the Lord has blessed us when they fall into sin. Preachers are people too; they are not prefect, just forgiven. Here they help, lead, guide, pray us through our hard times, and when they error we forget the good that they have done. –(Jud. 16:28, Heb. 6:10)

Think of the sins that the Lord have forgiven you, and those that He has set you free, think of the times when those spiritual leaders help you with your problems, however when they do wrong we forget and go about sharing their errors with everyone we meet and adding to them, even telling lies. At the same time we must know that same spiritual leaders have never, never wrote a book on our wrongdoing. –(Matt. 5:7)

You who are spiritual restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness; when spiritual leaders fall into sin, or become ensnare in sin, they need to have proper correction, and proper restoration. We like to correct them, however we don’t like to restore them, and that is not biblical. The Holy Spirit will use apostles and prophets to minister, correct and restore fallen ministers. –(Gal. 6:1)

Correction must be giving with grace and love, each case may be different, but all cases aim toward the goal of restoration and hope. Fallen ministers have to willingly submit to apostolic and prophetic counseling and ministering in order to be restored. –(Matt. 5:5)

There needs to be freedom, liberty and grace giving to the fallen minister as they go through healing and restoration process. Unfortunately at the same there is willingness, there is hard terms lay down before the fallen minister that they will have to willingly submit in order to be restored to their place in ministry. –(Jam. 5:19-20)

The Bible is filled with restoration, not only the Lord wants to bring restoration, He wants double restoration. Each fallen minister must surrender to the Divine Process of restoration, and to the Lord’s life teachings. –(Heb. 12:5-11)

Apostles and Prophets are to minister restoration to the fallen minister, their families, and their ministry. In these days the Holy Spirit is rising up restoration centers to restore the fallen. –(Acts 3:19-21)

There is more spiritual warfare and trials that come against spiritual leaders then most people, therefore we should show mercy, love and understanding when a spiritual leader makes a mistake or errors in their ways. –(2 Tim. 2:1-6)

Reconstruction of the Church part two

Reconstruction of the Church part two

Elvis Iverson
http://www.elvisiverson.com

There is coming in the Body of Christ a strong sense of unity that will build into more deeps of unity. Unity is biblical and it’s the will of Christ for the Church, it is the order of God, it is the government of the church, and the pathway to the Kingdom of God. –(Psa. 133)

Apart of the reconstruction of the church is going to the next stage of city church, right now many city churches are at pastoral unity, however soon we will mature unto apostolic unity. Unity in vision, unity in prayer, worship, and prophetic watch is coming to many city churches around the world. Every believer and church leader must step upon the step of unity to move on to greater levels with Christ. –(1 Cor. 1:10)

Unity is coming, however for unity to come there must be a reformation of unity. So many churches and church leaders don’t believe in the church coming into the fullness of unity, which is the unity of the faith, which is the mature city church. In our time I don’t think we will see the mature city church, instead the next stage of city church. –(Matt. 16:18-19, 18:18-20)

A reformation of unity is coming; it is apart of the third reformation of the church, which is also called the new apostolic reformation. A reformation of unity is coming in a strong sense of unity in the hearts of many believers around the world, unity will be renewed in our minds, for unity is biblical, meaning biblical unity, there will come more increase common bond and common ground among Christians. Christians will seem as together instead of divided by so many differences, and our differences is what will bring us together. The Church will become like Christ in His image and likeness, and this is the unity that is coming. In addition, we will go to the next stage of the city church. –(Eph. 4:16)

In this holy reformation there are waves of reformation; the wave of church government, and structure, a wave of equipping the saints for the work of the ministry, and believers doing the work of the ministry, a wave of signs and wonders, a waves of harvests of souls, a wave of foundations for revivals and lasting revivals, and the believers entering into the workplace ministry, and a reformation of unity. –(Heb. 9:10)

There is only one church in every city, called the city church. There are many congregations, and each of them has many home cells. The city church is a network of congregations, and the congregation is a network of home cells. There will be a city church alliances forming a city church networks, lead by city church apostles, and there will be a city church center where there will be 24/7 prayer, worship and prophetic watch. This next stage will build environment for lasting revivals, and habitational revival to come and dwell among the city church, rest upon the city church in our cities. –(Rev. 1-4)

Today there is too much division over doctrinal issues and ethnic issues, congregations are more divided over ethnic issues then doctrinal issues. These are all masks of hated, pride, strife, envy, and selfish ambition, those who divided the church are not the friends of Christ, are not the friends of the bridegroom, instead they are spiritual wolfs, goats, swine, and dogs. The Holy Spirit dwells in the hearts of believes by faith, however He will not rest upon congregations that don’t love one another. Unity is loving one another sample as that, when we misjudge the church we bring judghement upon ourselves. –(Phil. 2:1-11)

Do you know believers in other congregations within your city, do you have relationship with believers in other congregations, and is it a real relationship? Do you fellowship outside your own group mindsets? –(Jn. 13:34-25)

The Holy Spirit is doing a work in our hearts to come together not only in center meeting, in addition in fellowship in coffee houses in love, prayer, and the Word. I believe this will bring a revival of love. We have seen a move of faith, we have seen a move of hope, now we shall see a move of love, and then there will be a move of all three; faith, hope and love which is a move of the supernatural. –(1 Cor. 12, 13, 14)
