One Another Ministry

One Another Ministry

The Early church was a church without leaders, yes they have leaders, yes they have apostles, but they don’t have the kind of leadership thinking that we have today. Apostle Paul is just one of the examples of apostolic patterns, but Jesus is the perfect example of apostolic patterns. Apostle Paul will go into a new area, planting the churches in homes, He will be there about three months, preaching and teaching centered on Christ, then he will go away for about two years, he will leave them without leadership or eldership! –(Rom. 15:20-21)

See Apostle Paul had such apostolic preaching, such apostolic teaching that the believers could stand on their two own feet without leadership, today’s kind of church is build around leadership, instead the church should be build around Christ and the faith that follows. Apostle Paul establish them only in a short time in Christ as a community of believers, that meet in homes, they know how to walk in community, today most churches don’t have community, that is about to change. –(1 Cor. 14:26)

It is time to build the church to be centered on Christ, no leadership, yes we need leadership, yes we need government, but we need God’s way of leadership, God’s way of government, what we don’t need is co-leadership, we need to establish believers in Christ to stand together without leadership, flowing in life giving community, the church in the home. –(1 Jn. 1:7)

It is time for strong anointed apostolic preaching to be rebirth; it is time for strong anointed apostolic teaching to be rebirth that in short times hearing and receiving apostolic preaching and apostolic teaching a person and a group could stand forth and flow into a Strong faith with the power of the Holy Spirit. –(1 Cor. 2:4-5)

This brings me to my other point, being a Christian is not a personal religion instead it is a fellowship of faith, it is a company of set apart, called out people of living faith, not a person, not one, instead the many, a Christian is not a Christian without Christians. Yes you have a personal relationship with Christ, but your relationship must flow into the fellowship of the body of believers. –(1 Cor. 1:2,9)

The early church was based in the homes, the church in the homes is more biblical then the local church, we need a restoration of the church in the home, the church in the home, is biblical fellowship. –(Acts 2:40-47)

The Priesthood of the believer is very limited today in the local church, the local church is setup to keep the believer down and out of the anointing, there is no application of ministry for a the common believer, and the local church is setup to control and maintain the ungodly division between the believer and the minister. Only in the church in the home, we can see the application of the priesthood of the believer. –(1 Pet. 2:5,9, 4:10-11)

We cannot apply the one anothers; such as love one another, pray for one another, minister to one another, we cannot see any of the one another’s as we see in the Holy Scriptures, or the one another ministry, in the limited local church, only in the application of the church in the home. –(Jn. 13:34-35, Rom. 13:8,19, Gal. 5:13-14, 1 Cor. 14:26, Eph. 5:19-21, Col. 3:12-16)

The Church in the home is the place for beginning discipleship, building relationship, building fellowship, building community, the one another ministry, and the priesthood of the believer. –(1 Pet. 2:5,9, 1 Cor. 14:26)

The ministry of the pastor today has no biblical foundation, the pastor in the Holy Scriptures, and the pastor you see and hear today they are not the same. Pastors today are aliens of true church government, based on biblical foundation. Pastors today are strangers and foreigners to biblical church government. There is no such thing as the one-man ministry, there is no such thing as a pastor being the head of a church, there is no such thing one pastor leading any church. The pastors in the book of Acts were home church pastors; the pastor ministry is based in the church in the home, to give pastoral care, pastor love, but not control, into the flow of anointing and gifts among the believers in unity and order with liberty. The church in the Home is the place for ministry of the pastor and the evangelist, to connect and to bring souls into the church through the church in the home. –(Rom. 16:3-16)

Apostles were the overseers of the church, they will oversee a network of churches in the home, apostles lead the church, they were first to lead the church, and apostles were seniors in the government of the church. –(1 Cor. 12:28)

There is the church in the home, which is a place for fellowship and the one another ministry, then there is the 1 Cor. 12:28 center, this was a place for fathering, mentoring, training, and equipping the saints for the work of the ministry, the 1 Cor. 12:28 center was the place for the ministry of the apostle, prophet, and teacher. –(1 Cor. 12:28)

The saints are to do the work of ministry, not the apostle, prophet, or teacher, the Five-Fold ministry is to equip the saints for the work of the ministry, 98 percent of the ministry, the believers do, and the 2 percent the Five-Fold Ministry does. The Work of the ministry begins in the church in the home. –(Eph. 4:11-12)

The elders were a team of elder, with a senior elder; who are an apostle, a leading apostle, and the eldership were apostles, prophets, and teachers. –(1 Cor. 12:28)

The Path of ordination is: You grow in your gift and ministry among the church in the home, ministering with the one another ministry, the believers then recognize your gifting and your calling, and you then begin to be set apart, and then you grow more and prove your faithfulness, then the apostles begin to father and mentor you, and after a time, they give you affirmation into office ministry. –(Acts 14:23)

1 Corinthians 14:26 Church in your House

The Church in the Home is rising throughout the church around the world; the church in the home is the apostolic church that Christ will begin to raise up, then after that is the city church. –(Acts 2:40-47)

We have already pass into the new day of church life, the life of the church will be revival, and the Lord will raise up the church in the home, we have enter into the restoration of the church in the home. –(Matt. 10:5-15)

What is the application of the church in the home, and how is the flow during the meetings? The church meets in the home for church, and the church meets in a center for equipping. The application of the church in your house is based in 1 Cor. 14:26.

Here is an example of the church in your house meeting: believers gather together in homes, first the begin to eat together, fellowship together, build relationships with one another, then they begin to sing songs, and pray for one another, then they share with one another, then they teach one another, then they prophecy to one another, and minister to one another, and care for one another, the one another ministry, and then there is a sermon. –(Acts 2:40-47)

Let us look into 1 Cor. 14:26: We come together, first believers are to come together to meet together, the church in your house, then they sing psalms to one another, then they give teaching to one another, then they pray for one another, and prophecy to one another, and each one can have revelation in the Word for one another, and this is all done in edification.

Is there a pastor; the church in your house is the place for the ministry of the pastor, and even the evangelist. But the pastor is not to run the service, instead to flow with the continuity of the one another ministry, he is there for pastoral care, pastoral love, and to coordinate, host the meeting, and some times give a sermon. The evangelist come and fellowships, and flows in the continuity of the church in the home, he connects to a church in the home, and begins to harvests souls into a church in the home, and then aids in discipleship of newborn believers, and then some times gives a sermon. –(Rom. 16:3-16)

The Church in your house is to be the place for application of spiritual gifts and the gifts of the Spirit. The Lord wants to begin Obed-Edom revival to every church in homes. –(2 Sam. 6)

A network of homes churches the Lord is rising up, networks of homes churches, many networks of churches, a network of home churches is a congregation, the Lord is raising up new apostolic congregations all over the earth, they are each a network of churches in the homes, with each having a center, the 1 Cor. 12:28 center.

The Lord is rising up the church in the home; the Lord is rising up the New Apostolic Congregation, the Lord is rising up New Apostolic Networks, and the Lord is rising up the New Apostolic City Church, and the City Church. –(LK. 5:36-39)

1 Corinthians 12:28 Center

1 Corinthians 12:28 Center

Elvis Iverson
http://www.elvisiverson.com

Our Lord is raising New Apostolic Congregations in many cities, New Apostolic Networks in many nations, the New Apostolic City Church in many cities, and the New Apostolic Church in every city and in every nation around the world. –(LK. 5:36-39)

A New Apostolic Congregation is a network of the church in the home, with a center for apostolic ministry. –(1 Cor. 12:28, 14:26)

The Church in the home, which I call it the 1 Cor. 14:26 church, is first in the order, second is the center, the church in the home, is the place for biblical fellowship, building relationships, and the another ministry.

The Church in the Home is the place for the ministry of the Pastor and the place where the Evangelist connects however, they are not in control, and they are only hosts that flow with the continuity of the community in the home. –(Rom. 16:3-16)

The 1 Cor. 12:28 Center is the place for fathering, mentoring, training, and equipping. This is the place for the ministry of apostles, prophets, and teachers.

The leadership of the congregation is a team of elders; it is a continuity flow of oversight and ministry, with a senior mature leading apostle, who leads with grace, vision, and coordinate, and cooperation. The team of elders is made up of leading apostles, prophets and teachers. –(Acts 13:1-3, 1 Cor. 12:28)

The senior leading apostle, with give cast vision, lead with vision, he or she is a visionary, will train new apostles, and minister to the other elders, and lead in the oversight of the network of churches in the homes. –(Acts 15:13)

Apostles will minister grace and train and equipping each believer, and called forth in each believer there gifts and their ministries, and help them begin to mature and grow in their gifts. Apostles will minister in signs and wonders, they will lead in signs and wonders ministry, they minister Word Revelation, and have apostolic ears to hear what the Holy Spirit is saying to the church. They will open new doorways and gates for believers to go forth and minister. –(Rom. 1:5)

Prophets will minister prophetic, prophecy, prophetic guidance, and set believers free, and stirring up the anointing in them, leading them into the practices of the presence of the Lord, hearing what times and seasons we are moving into, and helping the believers to come into the applications of the new times and new seasons of the Lord, and releasing the power of blessing. Then prophets will release the prophetic anointing for all believers to flow in the prophetic anointing, establishing a prophetic community in the church in the home. –(1 Cor. 14:29)

Teachers teaching the Word with grace an anointing, giving the application of the Word of God, talking hold of the apostolic anointing and prophetic anointing in the application of the Word, and opening wider in the minds and hearts of believers, teaching the believer the application of the Christian life with the Spirit. –(2 Tim. 3:14-17)

Fathering is first and is last, fathering is more then mentoring, fathering is for a lifetime, you may have mentoring, but only a few fathers, fathering begins with relationship building, fathering see the whole person, see your vision, and purpose, and begins to mold you into your destiny, with grace and time, fathering is patience with grace. –(1 Thess. 2:6-11)

Mentoring is mentoring you in your calling or gift in the ministry that you are called, by those who are already season in the type or kind of ministry, by those who already have gone before you, and now are giving you the time and the day, to rising up more like them, apostles mentor apostles, prophets mentor prophets, teachers mentor teachers, businesspersons mentor businesspersons, the goal here is successfulness and fruitfulness in the ministry that are your called. Mentoring is for a short period of time, not more then two years. –(Acts 18:26)

Training, and equipping apply to all believers; it is the best knowledge with application being release into your heart and mind, it is first the training of the heart, then comes the training of the mind. Equipping is training of gifts and anointings that applies to all believers, to be equipped to do the work of the ministry. –(Eph. 4:12)

The Reason for Church

The Reason for Church

Elvis Iverson
http://www.elvisiverson.com

The two meanings for church are; ekklesia means an assembly of people not a place, the next meaning is the word kuriakon meaning belonging to the Lord. –(1 Cor. 1:2,9)

Many think the reason for church is to be feed the Word; yes apostles are to feed the lambs, tend the sheep, feed the sheep and follow Christ, if they love the Lord. However this is not the reason for church. –(Jn. 21:15-19)

Many think the reason for church is discipleship; yes we are to disciple newborns in Christ, and all those who come to the Lord are to go through the process of discipleship nevertheless, this is not the reason for church. –(Matt. 28:19-20)

Many think the reason for church is to win as many souls you can; yes we are to win souls, and we are to know how to win souls, and we are to support the gospel ministry to the lost, and the Lord adds to the church every day on the contrary, this is not the reason for church. –(MK. 16:15-18)

Many think the reason for church is the work of the ministry; yes believers are to do the work of the ministry, and the five-fold ministry are to equipped the saints for the work of the ministry by contrast, this is not the reason for church. –(Eph. 4:11-12)

Many think the reason for church is for spiritual care from spiritual leaders and elders; yes the Lord wants and appointed spiritual elders and spiritual leaders for the spiritual care for the sheep of the congregation unfortunately, this is not the reason for church. –(Heb. 13:7,17)

Furthermore, what is the reason for church then? The reason for church is community; the church meet in the home, the church in the home and expression of the priesthood is unfolded through community. We are to fellowship, build relationships, and practice community, community in the church in the home, and community in the city church. The community of the congregation is the church in the home. Above this we are to build community among the city church of the city where we live. –(Heb. 10:24-25)

Conclusion, It is by the Blood of Christ we come together for community in the church in the home, we are consider one another, not one person cares or ministers for all, it is the one another ministry, community ministry of the church in the home to stir up love, first is love then good works, we are not to forsake the assembling of ourselves together in community in the church in the home, and we are to exhort one another, minister to one another, not just a few, instead community, and we are to build relationships and fellowship with one another, and the center is for equipping and the church in the home is for relationship. –(Heb. 10:24-25)

The Call to Community

The Call to Community

Elvis Iverson
http://www.elvisiverson.com

Many churches do not have community; only a very few have community, most have no ideal of what community is. Some may talk about community, and say you need community, or say you need to be in community, but they don’t have community and they are not an a community, yes there is some kind of community, instead it is not biblical community. –(1 Cor. 14:26)

The early church had community, and again the Lord will restore us to biblical community but it will be greater then the early church. They had common fellowship, true communion fellowship, they came together to fellowship in the home, the church was in the home, there was relationship and fellowship building, they understood unity, unity comes with community, and community comes with the fellowship of believers, however community does not come from the one man ministry, it comes from the one another ministry. –(Acts 2:40-47)

There is no such thing as a special class of priest instead there is the priesthood of the believers; we do not have the same gifts or functions, and there is a division of labor, but we are all labors, we are all priests, we all have a ministry. The first expression of the priesthood is in community, in the church in the home. It is not the ministry of one man, or a few, instead it is the ministry of the one another. –(1 Pet. 2:5,9, 4:10-11)

Every believer is to have a teaching, a revelation, and a song, for edification we are to minister and to speak to one another in teaching, in prayer, in song, we are to release wisdom, teaching and admonishing to one another, this is not the ministry of the few, instead it is the ministry of the one another, it is community. –(1 Cor. 14:26, Eph. 5:19-21, Col. 3:12-16)

To understand community it is sevenfold; (1) we come together in the church in the home, (2) each of you have a psalm, (3) has a teaching, (4) has a tongue, (5) has a revelation, (6) has a interpretation, (7) let all things be done for edification. –(1 Cor. 14:26)

In addition, community is coming together in love feasts or eating together, sharing with one another, praying for one another, prophesying to one another, and ministering to one another, and caring for one another and loving one another. –(1 Cor. 14:26)

The church in the home is the expression of community, it is the ministry of the one another, it is the fellowship of believers ministering to one another and loving one another, yes there could be a pastor among them, that leads with coordination and serves more as a coordinator, however the church in the home is an expansion of community, the priesthood, and the one another ministry. The pastor is there for pastoral care and to guard the continuity of community. Yes he or she ministers, instead they minister along with the one another ministry. –(Rom. 16:5)

Apart from that, there is a center gathering place; this is for fathering, mentoring, equipping and training, this is the ministry of apostles, prophets and teachers, this is called the 1 Cor. 12:28 center or the APT Center. The senior elder who is an apostle leads a team of elders, who are leading apostles, prophets and teachers. The senior elder leads with vision and coordination.

Nevertheless, The church in the home is first, and has the priority, then second is the center. –(Acts 19:1-10, Acts 2:40-47, and Acts 5:12-16)

The five-fold ministry is to equip the saints for the work of the ministry, the saints are to do the work of the ministry, and the five-fold ministry is to do the equipping ministry. –(Eph. 4:11-12)

Above this there is the community of the city church, there is only one church in a city with a company of congregations, believers are to build relationships and fellowship with other believers throughout the city church, and congregational leaders are to build relationships and fellowship with other leaders of other congregations. –(Rev. 1:20, 1-4)

The Church Without Leaders

The Church Without Leaders

Elvis Iverson
http://www.elvisiverson.com

We must build congregations that can stand without their senior leader, instead a senior leader will train new leaders, train new ministers, train new apostles, this is what you should do first, it is time for us to become fathers again, so that the Lord can restore the sons to the apostolic house. –(Matt. 4:19)

We must train and equip believers to stand on there two feet; this is why we need a good discipleship ministry, newborns need the elementary of the Word, then need the milk teaching, they need to be disciple. In our congregations we need to understand maturity, from newborns, to children, then to young people, then to fathers. We should not have believers co- depended on spiritual leaders, yes babes and children are codependent, but young men are to be independent, and mature believers are to be interdependent. It is time to have congregations of maturity. –(Heb. 5:12-14)

We need meat teaching, milk teaching is for babes and children, and meat teaching is for young warriors and mature believers. –(1 Cor. 3:1-2)

Apart from that, during Paul’s ministry, he will go into a place and win people to Christ, and then disciple and teach them for three months, and then he will leave them for about three years, and allow them to minister to one another, without spiritual leaders, without elders. –(Rom. 15:20)

Apostle Paul had such apostolic preaching, such apostolic teaching, had such preaching and teaching, that a group of believers could stand fast in fellowship without spiritual leadership. This kind of apostolic anointing in preaching and teaching is being rebirth again in the church. –(1 Cor. 2:4-5)

He give them guidance to stand as a group, and to fellowship as a group, he give them the teaching of the church in your house, and the one another minister, each has a teaching, each has a prayer, each has a prophecy, then minister to one another, they will come together, he give them guidance to flow together in the one another continuity and coherence of community. –(1 Cor. 14:26)

After some time Apostle Paul would return to see how the new fellowships were growing, He then will teach them more, and minister to them, and begin to raise up spiritual leaders and elders, and apostles, prophets, teachers, pastors, and evangelists. He would teach them to flow more into spiritual gifts and the gifts of the Spirit. –(Acts 14:21-28)

In time as those called into spiritual leadership, called to be elders, are then appointed and release. This would happen two ways, first a believer will flow among other believers in the one another ministry, and in time, the other believers will recognized their ministry, and their calling into the five-fold grace ministry, and then after a time, other ministers will begin to recognized them, then apostles would come along and give affirmation, appointed into leadership. Moreover, an apostle will come, and begin to mentor others, mentor young apostles, those called into ministry will be mentor, and then proved first, and then release into ministry, and then after a time of maturity and experience be appointed into eldership. –(1 Tim. 3:1-13, Tit. 1:5-9)

Apostles, prophets, teachers in maturity and experience are the elders of a congregation, however pastors ministry is in the church in the home, and evangelists are connected to a church in the home, and minister among the churches in the homes, the apostle, prophet, and teacher ministry is in the center. –(1 Cor. 12:28)

If your congregation is codependent on a senior leader, and if he or she goes to minister for the week at another congregation, and during that week the congregation comes to a stop, or falls apart, that is not maturity, If your congregation is codependent on a senior leader for all things, that is not good, and that is not maturity, If your congregation is codependent on spiritual leadership or elders for all the ministry needs, that is not good and that is not maturity. If you’re an apostle and the congregation you lead is codependent that is not good and that is not maturity, if you’re an apostle and the congregations you oversee is codependent on you for everything, or most things, etc. that is not good, and that is not maturity. –(Eph. 4:11-16)

Go To Church

Go To Church

Elvis Iverson
http://www.elvisiverson.com

The words go to church is not found in the Bible, they are not biblical, there are no Scripture grounds for these words, these words are man made and brought from the soulish realm or even from pagan religions. –(Rom. 12:1-2)

The Bible says we are the Temple of God, and the Holy Spirit dwells in those who have been reborn by the Holy Spirit. We are the church, we are the Temple of God, you are the church you are the Temple of God. –(1 Cor. 3:16-17)

The Holy Spirit dwells in the believer of Christ, and when two or three come together there is a greater manifestation of the Holy Spirit, for the Holy Spirit is in each one of us, and when we come together there is a greater manifestation. –(Matt. 18:20)

In the early church there was no temples or buildings, you should not call a building a church, for the church is the body of Christ, those who have been born again, born of the Spirit. In the early church they meet in homes, the church in the home, they came together to fellowship, and eat together, then share, sing, and pray for one another, there was no one man ministry, instead there was the one another ministry, and the pastor was giving to pastoral care and was a pastor among them, that leads with coordination and serves more as a coordinator, the pastor is there for pastoral care and to guard the continuity of community. –(1 Cor. 14:26)

However the pastor was not the senior elder, the pastor ministry was in the home, an apostle was the senior elder, that leads a team of apostles, prophets, and teachers, he or she lead them with vision and coordination. Apostles will minister in a center that supported the church in the home, the church in the home was first, and the center was second in priority. The center was the place for the ministry of the apostle, prophet and teacher. It was for fathering, mentoring, equipping and training. –(1 Cor. 12:28)

On the contrary, there are two meanings for the word church, first meaning is set apart, go out. This means we are call out, not a person, instead a people. This meaning does not mean building, the meaning is people, and the church is people. The next meaning is in fellowship with the Lord, again this does not mean we are in fellowship with the Lord through a building so called church, instead we are in fellowship through a community of the church in the Home, first we love the Lord, and then we love one another. –(1 Cor. 1:2,9)

However, there is only one church in a city that church is the city church, all believers born of the Spirit are members of both the City Church and the Church, and the city church is made up of congregations that meet in homes and are equipped in centers. Beilevers are to fellowship and build relationships with other believers in Christ that are not apart of their group, and although you are a part of the city church, we need to in a part of the city church community. If someone ask you what church do you belong, say you belong to the city church, for there is only one church in a city. –(Rev. 1-4)

You are the church when you gather in homes, for the church meeting is in homes, and you are the church when you minister in the workplace. The church is not the building, the people are, when you are born of the Spirit you are apart of the church, and when you join the community fellowship of the church in the home you fellowship with both the Lord and with one another, and when you are at work on Monday there is no division between the weekend or the weekday, you are still the Temple of the Lord. –(Eph. 6:5-9)

The Change of Spiritual Leadership

The Change of Spiritual Leadership

Elvis Iverson
http://www.elvisiverson.com

The priesthood of all believers begin in the church in the home, where believers pray, prophecy, minister, sing, share with one another. Apostles, prophets and teachers are to equip, teach and train the believers to flow in the one another ministry, not to lead the one another ministry, instead they too are to flow with the believers in the one another, and pastors, etc are to flow in the fellowship of the one another ministry, not control it, instead protect the unity of the one another ministry, and apostles are to protect the fellowship of church in the home. –(1 Cor. 14:26)

Every believer has gifts, but then there are the some in the church, which are apostles, prophets, teachers, evangelists, and pastors. Apostles, prophets, teachers are the center leaders of the congregation, pastors ministry is in the church in the home, they are called to pastoral care and pastoral love, they flow along with the priesthood in the home. Evangelists minister in between six home churches, to add to them with souls, and belong to one of them. They led souls to Christ, then they discipleship them. –(Eph. 4:11)

The elders of the congregation are apostles, prophets, and teachers; plural elder in a council of elders led by a senior apostle, who is the set visionary of the congregation. The senior elder flows with the unity of oneness of oversight council. They work together, but the senior elder has the last word in the council meetings, he try’s to work together and maintain openings among the elders with one another. –(Acts 3:1-3)

A new apostolic congregation is a network of churches in the home with a center for equipping the saints for the work of the ministry. The center is the ministry of the apostle, prophet, and teacher. The Church in the home is the ministry of the pastor and the Evangelists minister between six home churches adding to the church. –(1 Cor. 12:28)

Believers are to be equipped to do the work of the ministry; the some set ones, which is the five-fold ministry, are only to do 2% percent of the ministry, the believers are to do 98% percent of the ministry. Saints are to be equipped into the work of the ministry. –(Eph. 4:12)

The New Apostolic City Church is arising; it is a network of new apostolic congregations at the city level, with city church apostles leading the city church with vision. There is only one church in each city, that church is the city church, each believer and each minister is to have their eyes open to the vision of the Body of Christ and unity of the Body. Each city church from city to city is to connect, with the Body of Christ around the world. –(Eph. 4:11-16, Eph. 2:19-22)

The Church in the Home

The Church in the Home

Elvis Iverson
http://www.elvisiverson.com

This is the restoration of the church in the home, in the early church, the believers meet in homes, not for the reason that they could not meet in buildings, but meeting in homes is the will of God, for in the home there is love, and fellowship with one another. –(Acts 3:19-21)

The Church in the home is more biblical then the so-called local church. The church in the home is first before meeting in a building. Christ wants to restore the fellowship of the home in the Church life. –(Acts 2:42,46)

Biblical fellowship is based in the church in the home; you cannot have a true application of biblical fellowship within a building. The building is based on the division between believer and minister, there should be no division between the believer and the minister, yes there are ministers, and leaders, but we are all called to a ministry in Christ. We are to build relationships with one another; we are to fellowship with one another, and we are to build fellowship, a building limits one another fellowship. –(1 Jn. 1:7)

The application of one another is best apply in the church in the home, love one another is best apply in the home, it is hard to build love and build relationship, and to build fellowship in the limited local church. –(JN. 13:34-35)

Every believer is to flow in ministry, every believer has some kind of ministry, and every believer is to flow in the Gifts of the Spirit and prophecy, every believer has a spiritual gift, and every believer is to pray for one another and to minister to one another. This can only have application in the church in the home. The church in the home is the beginning of the believer ministry. The application of the priesthood of the believer can only begin to be applied in the church in the home. –(1 Pet. 2:5-9,4:10-11)

The application of new apostolic fellowship as the early church flowed in it can only again can be apply in the church in the home. If we have the application of new apostolic fellowship then we will have the manifestation of new apostolic power. –(Acts 2:40-27)

What is the application of the church in the home: They came together in homes, and eat together, fellowship, share testimonies, prayer, sing songs, teach one another, and hear a sermon of the pastoral ministry, and then have one another ministry. –(Acts 2:42)

The leadership of the Home church was: the ministry of the pastor is in the home, and the ministry of the evangelist was in the home and connected to the church in the home, it was a team ministry of pastoral care, the leadership was corporate, cooperation, and coordinating. –(Rom. 16:3-16)

However, the church in the home was first, and the center was second in order, and the eldership overseen the whole group of home churches and the center. –(1 Cor. 12:28)

We must have the revelation and vision of the church in the home, the priesthood in the home. This is biblical fellowship; this is the beginning of true church, true Christianity, and true apostolic church. The one another ministry, and the beginning of the priesthood begin in the church in the home, not some so-called made up local church. –(Acts 2:46, 20:20, Rom. 15:3,5, 1 Cor. 16:17, Col. 4:15, Phile. 2)

What is the Lord’s Supper? It is believers coming together in the church in the home, to eat together, fellowship together, share together, pray together, sing together, prophesy together, and care together. –(Acts 2:42, 1 Cor. 11:17-34)

The some set ones are to equip the saints to the do the work of the ministry, the some set ones have the equipping ministry, and the believers have the work of the ministry. Pastors minister along with the believers in the home, and minister pastoral care and love, the evangelists ministry is between the home churches, they minister between six of them, and belong to one of them. Apostles, prophets, teachers minister at a center to raise, father, mentor and equip believers for the work of the ministry. –(Eph. 4:11 –12, 1 Cor. 12:28)

The priesthood begins in the home; the church is the priesthood of the Kingdom.

We have enter into a holy reformation, this is the beginning of the end of the restoration of the priesthood, which will lead the mature city church, but we now have begun to enter into the beginning of the restoration of the Kings of the Kingdom. The ministry of the Apostle is to rise up the kings of the Kingdom.

We need the restoration of the priesthood in the home, the beginning of the priesthood begins in the church in the home, and we need the restoration of the kings of the Kingdom that begins in the workplace. The Kingdom of God is in the hearts of the believers and through the Holy Spirit the increase of the Kingdom of God will come in our cities and nations, we will see social transformation.

Rejected Apostles and Prophets

Rejected Apostles and Prophets

Elvis Iverson
http://www.elvisiverson.com


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. We must pray and seek the Lord, draw near to the Lord, and pray in the Spirit, then the day will come, and sign of this day coming is the pouring out of the Spirit of Revelation upon your life, ministry, and prayer life. –(Eph. 1:15-18)

Forgive those who were not open to you, learn from it, but if they come to your later with hands open, open your hands toward them, God is in the business of reconciliation. Remember apostles and prophets are called to become wise, become full of wisdom, a ministry of wisdom. Wisdom takes time to build in our lives, and we have come to a generation that seeks the wisdom of apostles and prophets. –(Job 42)

Ethics and Money

Ethics and Money

Elvis Iverson
http://www.elvisiverson.com

It is time to wise up, and set forth financial guidelines for financially support that promotes character, integrity and ethics in handing money and taking up offerings for the work of the ministry. –(1 Tim. 6:9-12, 3:3)

Servants of the Lord should not get rich off the offering, there should be a set amount giving to the servants of the Lord, then the rest going to the work of the ministry. If a church increases in members or a ministry increases in favor with people, and the flow of financing increase, the servant’s honor should not increase, instead the support for the work of the ministry should increase. The servants of the Lord should be paid reasonable honors. –(1 Tim. 5:17-18, 1 Cor. 9:11,13,14)

If the servants of the Lord have alternative financially support or support from written books, etc and come into wealth that is another thing and they are free to do so. –(Deut. 8:18)

A church ministry or a church should setup a board of financial accountably, with season believers and ministers, who don’t control the budget, instead set the budget and honor support of the servants of the Lord, and then inform the members of the financial budget. This board is a symbol of trust and openings, however this board does not control the spiritual leadership or the servants of the Lord. –(Heb. 13:7,17)

When taking up the offerings, we must have the freedom of giving; this is why we must establish the grace giving system to increase the freedom of giving and the freedom of financial blessings. This is why from time to time, once a year to teach on the power of grace giving, and then to every new believer to teach them on the power of grace giving in the membership class. –(2 Cor. 8, 9)

Pastors and Evangelists

Pastors and Evangelists

Elvis Iverson
http://www.elvisiverson.com

The New Apostolic Church will arise in every city and in every nation; the New Apostolic City Church will rise in many cities, and New Apostolic Congregations will arise in many cities throughout the world. –(Eph. 2:19-22)

The New Apostolic Congregation is a network of churches in your house with a center for the equipping of the saints. The center is the place for the ministry of the apostle, prophet, and teacher; the home church is the place for ministry of the pastor and evangelist. –(1 Cor. 12:28, Eph. 4:11, 1 Cor. 14:26)

The pastor ministry is in the home church; he or she provides pastoral care, and the evangelist connects with a home church to bring in the lost and then disciple them. –(Rom. 16:3-16, Acts 8:4-5)

The word pastor is only listed once in the Bible, the word evangelist is only listed three times in the Bible. Pastors are not the senior elders of a congregation, they are not the head of a congregation, they are not the visionary leader of a congregation, they are not the main ministry of the center, there ministry is not in the center, instead it is in the home, Pastors are not full time ministers, evangelists are not of the ministry of the center, they are not full time ministry, they are to work with the home church. –(Eph. 4:11, Acts 21:8, 2 Tim. 4:5)

In the home church the pastor or pastors provide pastoral care, they flow in the continuity of the church in the house, and the continuity of the one another ministry, they maintain the unity and continuity of the group, they work in the cooperation of the group, and they do coordinate the home church meetings, and host them, and they are coordinators of the group. But correspondence and communication with the whole group; Pastors will work as a team, with one leading them in the home church among them, and the pastors will be in fellowship and correspondence and communication with other pastors in other home churches, and they will willing submit to the oversight of the congregation elders. –(Acts 2:40-47)

An Evangelist will fellowship in one home church, and then work with at least six other home churches with correspondences with pastors and in connection with elders oversight, Evangelists will work together and be in fellowship, correspondence and communication with other Evangelists they will lead the lost to Christ, and they will be leaders of soul winners among the home churches, and they will plant the new born in Christ in a home church and disciple them. –(Prov. 11:30)

Evangelists will train and equip believers in how to win souls, plant them in a home church, and how to disciple the newborn. Pastors will train and equip beilevers in pastoral care and home church fellowship; both the pastors and evangelists will equip the believers in home church planting. Pastors are to train and mentor new pastors, and evangelists are to train and mentor new evangelists. –(Eph. 4:11-12)

Pastors and Evangelists are not full time ministry that has careers; there personal support to live on comes from their own strength, but from time to time the believers should honor them with gifts, etc for the labor of love they do. Pastors and Evangelists are to be ordained as ministers. –(1 Cor. 16:13-18)

Half of the ministers will not be in full time ministry, instead they will have a career that supports them and pays their personal and living costs, then most of the rest of ministers will have support from alternative financial support, only a very few will have full support for their living costs and personal costs, etc. Itinerant apostolic workers will have the full financial support that they need, most of these will be full time in ministry, and will not have a support of their own, so the financial support of the church is being free up to support more the itinerant apostolic workers. –(1 Cor. 9:1-18)

A congregation is a network of home churches; the eldership of the congregation is apostles, prophets, and teachers, among the elders cabinet, one of the apostles will be appoint to oversee the home church network, and among the council of elders there will be a leading apostle, the senior elder. –(1 Cor. 12:28, Acts 13:1-3)

How to plant churches in the Home:

1. An apostle first prays, plants a home church with already season believers, then trains pastors and evangelists, before moving forth the apostle calls a prophet to come for prophecy and ministry, an apostle does not move forth without a word from a prophet, then releases the new pastors and evangelists, and begins to plant new home churches, and then begins to setup the center.
2. Pastors and evangelists in a city already apart of a home church network, goes forth planting home churches together.
3. Pastors and evangelists are lead to another city under elders oversight to plant new homes churches.
4. Season members in a city already apart of a home church network, go forth together to plant another home church.
5. Members in another city, outside of a home church network wants to connect with a home church network, a new apostolic congregation, and then comes together to form a home church, etc.
6. Members sent from a new apostolic congregation to plant a home church that will lead to more homes churches and a new congregation.
7. The planting of home churches need to be under elders council’s oversight and apostolic oversight.

Continuity of Organism

Continuity of Organism

Elvis Iverson
http://www.elvisiverson.com

We have already enter into reformation, to the degree of reformation is the degree of revival that will come, this reformation is laying the foundation for revival, many revivals, lasting revivals, radical revivals, extreme revivals, massive revivals, visitation revivals, and resting revivals, and the revival life, the church will never be without revival never again, there will never be a time without revival, never again, the life of the church will be revival, the life of the believer will be revival. –(Ezek. 48:35)

We have already begun in the first degree of reformation, the first degree of reformation is the degree of the lamb, and reformation is already coming as a lamb, then it will turn into a lion, and then run fast as a horse, and then fly supernaturally as an eagle, and then become like army of reformation. –(Heb. 9:10)

This is the third reformation, the new apostolic reformation, this is the reformation of the whole church, this is called the great reformation of the church, and this reformation will be radical, extreme, and massive. –(Heb. 12:25-29)

There needs to be a wineskin of lasting, resting, massive revival that can contain revival, and that revival can overflow upon cities and nations around the world. The church will become full of revivals, and the glory of the Lord and then overflow upon cities and nations around the world, and the world will begin to be filled with revivals and the glory of the Lord, the day will come that the church will be filled with revival and glory, and then the earth will be filled with revival and glory. –(LK. 5:36-39)

Reformation is laying the foundation for revival, social transformation and harvest. The ministry that the Lord gives me is a ministry of reformation, revival, social transformation and harvest. There are other kinds of divine movements, such as renew, restoration and then awaking, the greatest of these three is awaking, however revival is greater then all of these, and reformation is greater then restoration, and social transformation is greater then revival, for social reformation is both revival and reformation, and harvest follows reformation, revival, and social transformation. –(Acts 3:19-21)

The revelation of the City Church is be giving in this hour, there is only one city church in each city; there is only one church in a city, with many congregations. There are stages of maturity of the city church; the last stage is the mature city church, which is the unity of the faith and the end time church in the end times. Right now we are in the transition from the pastoral city church to the apostolic city church. –(Matt. 16:18-19)

It is the New Apostolic City Church that can contain the habitational revival, resting revival. The New Apostolic City church is a Horizontal Network of congregations and New Apostolic Congregations. Lead by territorial apostles and city church apostles who lead and coordinate the apostles and congregation’s senor leaders on a horizontal level. The New Apostolic City church has a New Apostolic City Church Center, a place for prayer, prophetic expression, and worship; this center is the place for resting revival to fill the city. –(Ezek. 40:1-48, Rev. 21:2,10,18)

The New Apostolic Congregation is a network of the church in the homes, with a center gathering place for fathering, mentoring, training and equipping. The leadership of a new apostolic congregation is a team of mature apostles, prophets, and teachers with a senior elder, who is an apostle that leads with vision and coordination. The leadership of the church in the home is pastors and evangelists who lead the church in the home with the coordination and community of the believers. –(1 Cor. 12:28, 14:26)

The Church in the home is first before the center, this is the place for community, this is the place where believers minister to one another, prophecy to one another, pray for one another, teach one another, and love one another. The Church in the Home is the 1 Cor. 14:26 home church.

The center of a new apostolic congregation, is the 1 Cor. 12:28 center or the APT center, this is the place for the ministry of apostles, prophets and teachers.

http://www.elvisiverson.com

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.
We need the church in the home to be restore, the beginning of true biblical fellowship.
We need to create a place for the liberty of the Gifts of the Spirit.
The Saints need to be equipped and release into ministry.
We need to establish the church in the workplace.
We need to build the new apostolic city church and the city church.
We need to rise up new apostolic networks.
We need to pray for the apostolic anointing to be release upon all believers in Christ.
We need signs and wonders to flow like rivers of the Spirit.

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)

The last will be first and the first last; the apostles were in the beginning and apostles will be in the end, they lead first in the beginning, and they will lead first in the beginning of new days. Jesus Christ first called apostles, apostles were the first leaders of the Church, and apostles today will be the leaders of the church, the leadership of the church rest up apostles. –(Matt. 20:16)

Apostles are the first leaders of the church, they are called to lead the church first, and they are first to lead. Apostles and prophets are the foundation of the church in every generation, the church is lead by apostles and prophets, and the elders of the church are apostles, prophets and teachers. –(1 Cor. 12:28)

The church needs apostolic vision; they need to have the revelation of apostles and there role in the church. Without apostles the church will never move forth, without apostles and prophets we will never see true reformation or lasting change. –(Prov. 29:18)

Prophets are call to guide the church with prophetic vision, and the apostle are called to lead the church with apostolic vision, apostles are to hear what the Spirit is saying to the church, and then speak forth, we need to hear what apostles and prophets are saying, for Christ is speaking to us through them for the whole church, and the world. –(Rev. 2:29)

In the beginning of the church was the first apostolic age; you can read it throughout the New Testament, this is the second apostolic age. We will see the signs of an apostle, signs, wonders and mighty deeds, and great waves of the Spirit, and even more. –(Hosea. 6:3, Joel 2:23-27, Hag. 2:6-9)

In a vision I see a cloud and I see a pillar come together and birth together a holy anointing favored revelational congregation. This holy congregation grows and mature and became great in the earth, then from its pure heart seeds of faith came forth and spread throughout the world.

The pillar of could is the church in the home, and the pillar of fire is the APT Center. When they come together by the Pillar of Fire and Pillar of Could they become one, and through the Pillar of Fire and the Pillar of Cloud they give birth to the new apostolic congregation.

In the new apostolic congregation the pillar of Cloud and the Pillar of Fire ministered in the 1 Cor. 14: 26 home and the 1 Cor. 12:28 Center. The Pillar of Cloud and the Pillar of Fire come together to minister or one after one another. The Pillar of Fire and Pillar of Cloud will come and minister and fill to overflow the new apostolic congregation.

Mature believers came forth, equipped in the work of ministry, moving in the gifts of the Spirit and spiritual gifts. The new apostolic congregation becomes a fathering and mentoring center for young apostles, prophets, and teachers. Every believer that was birth into the Kingdom through the new apostolic congregation the pillar of Fire and Pillar of Cloud will enter into there lives, and every young apostle, prophet and teacher that was fathered and mentored through the new apostolic congregation the pillar of Fire and the Pillar of Cloud will enter into their lives, family, and ministry.

The new apostolic congregation is the ministry of the Pillar of Cloud and the Pillar of Fire.
