Understand the Lord’s Supper

Understand the Lord’s Supper

The foundation Scriptures of the Lord’s Supper is based on Matthew 26:17-30, 1 Corinthians 11:17-34, and Acts 2:42,46. The traditional view of the Lord’s Supper, taking communion may not be biblical? –(Matt. 15:3)

The application of the Feast of Passover is the Lord’s Supper in the church in your house. The first communion is Jesus and the first apostles enjoying the Feast of Passover, you must see the connection between the Feast of Passover and Communion of the Lord’s Supper.

The Church in your house is the application of Communion. Believers will come together to fellowship with one another, in the church in the home, believers are the temple of the Holy Spirit, and the Church fellowships and meets in homes, not for the reason there was no buildings to meet in, instead for the reason of the home realm of fellowship that the Lord wants the Church to enjoy.

Coming together for fellowship and eating together in the church in your house, in your home, believers will gather in homes for church meetings to fellowship, eat together, share with one another, pray for one another, sing to one another, minister to one another, and this is the communion of the Lord, this is the Lord’s Supper.

The communion meal was eating together, having a love feast in the home, believers will come together and eat together a full meal, then begin to minister to one another, and this was the Lord’s Supper.

The Lord’s Supper is vertical relationship with the Lord; the Lord’s Table is horizontal relationship with the believing community, this was the church in your home, this is biblical communion. The Table and the Supper are distinct, but they are not separate. –(1 Cor. 11:25-26, 11:16-22)

The Lord is restoring the church in the home, He is beginning to bring restoration to community in the church, which is the church in the home, and He is beginning to bring a revival of the priesthood of all believers, and this begins in the church in the home.

Freedom of Giving

Freedom of Giving

Elvis Iverson
http://www.elvisiverson.com

Today’s Tithes are not the tithing system of the Bible, we must be free financially, we must have faith with works to lead to the goal of financially independence, and the Lord wants us to be free up and to be free from the bondage of tithing and have the freedom of giving. –(Matt. 15:3)

The Tithing that we hear in teaching or preaching and the tithing that we have so long practice has no scripture foundation. Jesus and the apostles never tithe, the early church never tithe, apostle Paul never said to any believer to tithe, what Apostle Paul teach us is the power of grace giving. –(2 Cor. 8,9)

Biblical tithing was done with food, and not with money, only those who were farmers and ranchers tithe, and only those who were farmers and ranchers that lived in Israel tithe. When Abraham tithed to Melchizedek, he didn’t tithe from his own, he tithed from another, and this was not a practice for him, it was a one-time thing. When Jacob tithes it was a tithing only for him. If you say we are still under the law, then tithe according to the law. Under the covenant of Moses only those who lived in the land of Israel and only those who were farmers and ranchers and they only tithe food. In Malachi three that was the poor tithe that was giving every third year, and they only give food, and only farmers and ranchers in the land of Israel tithe. –(Lev. 27:30-34)

Biblical giving is grace giving, the Lord gives each believer grace and seed in order to give in faith, in grace, in worship, with a willing heart. You are to give according to what you have prospered and then you are to give willing, as you desire what amount to give. –(1 Cor. 16:1-2, 2 Cor. 8, 9, Phil. 4:10-20)

Freedom of giving, to give from your heart and to give willing, to allow the Holy Spirit to lead you and speak to you about giving, you are not to give in the bondage of the tithing system instead you are to giving in the freedom of the grace giving system. Yes you are to give, instead it is up to you, and you are not burden by others, you give by faith, by worship, and by the leading of the Holy Spirit. –(2 Cor. 9:7)

Tithing vs. grace giving is a reformation issue; what keeps dead churches alive, and what keeps so-called Spirit Filled churches alive is the unbiblical tithing system. If the tithing system is done away with, and the believers move from bondage to freedom in giving most dead churches will close their doors, and the churches that obey the reformation will flow and increase. –(Heb. 9:10)

What happens to those who don’t obey grace giving? All giving to God is bless, and giving is bless, but those who give in grace, grace giving will be blessed more. –(2 Cor. 9:6-8)

We are not to allow division to enter in, there are those who preach and teach tithing as Bible, we are to love them and not attack them, fellowship with all believers in Christ, fellowship begins with the New Birth and the Common Ground of all believers, and the life of the Spirit. –(1 Cor. 1:9-10)

How To Bring Reformation, Revival, Social Transformation and Harvest

How To Bring Reformation, Revival, Social Transformation and Harvest

Elvis Iverson
http://www.elvisiverson.com

I have a vision for reformation, revival, social transformation, and harvest. What is reformation, reformation is being reformed to the Image of Christ, what is revival, revival is the manifestation of the glory of the Lord first in the church, then to overflow into the nations and cities around the world, what is social transformation? Reformation of nations, and cities, to transform cities and nations to the image of Christ, social transformation is both revival and reformation, not reformation of the church, instead reformation of the world. Harvest comes with reformation, harvest comes with revival, and harvest comes with social transformation, and then there is harvest alone. Harvest is a supernatural grace of harvest coming upon certain areas, cities and nations, an increase adding to the church. –(Acts 3:19-21)

How to bring reformation:

The Lord will move upon certain young leaders, giving them the heart for reformation and vision for reformation. Reformation truth with come with grace and love, the reformation ideals will come from revelation of God’s will for the church. Not one reformer will have the whole picture, only in part, the reformers will come together to seek a common ground, and then a holy agreement in reformation truth. Then plant the seeds of reformation in the hearts of many, they will pray much for those seeds of reformation, reformation is a work of patience. They lay the groundwork for the beginning of the reformation, and then in time the reformation will take shape and form and flow as fire into the church to bring reformation to the masses. –(Heb. 9:10)

Reformation work of patience, the truth must be said in love with grace, first we have common ground of all believers, and we must seek unity based upon this common ground, then the leaders of the reformation must come together to agree on reformation truths, and at the same time be open to one another. –(1 Cor. 1:10)

There must be much prayer along with reformation teaching and reformation preaching, and we must humble ourselves with such reformation revelation coming forth from the heart of Christ. –(1 Pet. 3:15)

The reformation truths will go through the time of test, all things must be tested with the Word of God, and time, and to see the outcome and the fruits of the work of reformation, and make changes to flow in reformation grace. –(1 Cor. 3:1-17)

How to bring revival:

Revival comes through much prayer, first one person may pray for revival, this is not a prayer for revival, instead they pray faithfully for revival, and then there comes the group of people that come together to pray for revival. It will take much prayer to pray for revival and to flow in revival, and to keep revival. –(2 Chron. 7:14)

We need to pray for revivalists, if we want revival, revival begins with revivalists, but revival must go beyond the revivalist. In a revival, there will need to be other revivalists raise up, revival cannot remain with one revivalist, it must be with revivalists, and then to the masses, and then beyond. There is coming a day when there will be revival without the revivalists! –(Matt. 4:19)

After much prayer for revival, there needs to be a prophet to come and minister and prophecy the will of the Lord. –(Amos 3:7-8)

Revival needs a dwelling place, if we want to have revival we need a dwelling place for revival, and we must have the leadership and the revelation for a dwelling place for revival. –(Eph. 2:19-22)

If we want to have revival, we need the revelation of revival; we need revelation of revival to be ready to receive the coming revivals, we first must receive the revelation of revival, in order to receive revival manifestations. –(Rom. 10:17)

How to bring social transformation:

We need a vision of social transformation? Social transformation comes by the work of the ministry in the workplace through the work of patience, and it could come supernatural, or come both ways, But ether way one will lead to the other. –(Rev. 11:15)

The believers must be raise up and release into the work of the ministry in the workplace, believers must move with grace and vision in all areas of the workplace, establishing the Lordship of Christ, and bring wisdom and changes to the workplace according to the Kingdom of God. –(Matt. 28:18-20)

Social transformation comes through the kings of the Kingdom, apostles are called to rise up the ministry of the kings of the Kingdom, and then release them into the workplace. –(Acts 6:1-8)

Increase of the Kingdom in other words is social transformation; the Kingdom of God will increase through the outpourings of the Holy Spirit, the hearts of the believers, the ministry of the kings of the Kingdom. –(Isa. 9:6-7)

In addition, the Lord will heal the nations through revival, social transformation, the increase of the Kingdom of God, and the ministry of wealth. –(Rev. 22:2)

Moreover, the city church must arise to new apostolic city church; there is a need for city church apostles to build city church networks and city church centers that will be places for much prayer. –(Rev. 1-4)

We need marketplace apostles, as we have church apostles, we need to rise up marketplace church apostles, and both the church apostles and the marketplace church apostles are to network together. –(Isa. 60)

The ministry of wealth is to be birth and raise up in the hearts of believers in the workplace, and the church in the workplace, the ministry of wealth is one of ministries of social transformation, it is through restoration of blessings, and wealth that social transformation will come. –(Prov. 13:22)

How to bring harvest:

Harvest comes through much prayer, and the ministry of the apostle. The congregations and the city church must be form to be ready for harvest. The believers need to be equipped for the work of the ministry, and the church in the workplace needs to establish and connected to the church. –(Matt. 9:37-38, 2 Tim. 4:5)

There needs to be apostolic evangelism, but harvest can go beyond the ministry of evangelism, if we pray, and align ourselves we can see an open heaven, there needs to be an open heaven, and if we open the doors to each congregation to one another, there needs to be unity for harvest to come. All congregations may not come into unity, and all congregations may not be used to bring revival, only those who can come together in unity. –(Isa. 24:10, Rev. 21:25)

When the supernatural grace of harvest comes upon a city, you don’t need to have evangelism, or witness, just open your heart, just open the doors of your congregation, and souls will begin to seek out believers, and seek out congregations with the Word and the Spirit. –(Zech. 8:23)

Conclusion:

Reformation begins with apostles and prophets, revival begins with apostles and prophets, social transformation begins with apostles and prophets, and harvest begins with apostles and prophets, for apostles and prophets are foundational ministry, as these things begin with them, these things must move beyond them to the masses, and to every believer. –(Eph. 2:20)

Speaking Reformation with Love

Speaking Reformation with Love

Reformation is coming as a holy consuming fire around the world. We are living in the time of reformation, there are times of reformation, and this is one of those times of reformation. In this time of reformation the whole church will go through reformation, this is the reformation of the church, and this is a great reformation of the church throughout all of church history. –(Heb. 9:10)

It is the Holy Spirit that will bring holy reformation to the whole church, and He is rising up a holy company of reformers in the church around the world, this company is not a big company, and not all apostles and prophets are called to this holy company of reformers, however all are called to partake and flow in is great reformation of the church. The company of revivalists are greater then the company of reformers. –(Jer. 1:10, 6:16)

Reformation will lay the foundations for the coming revivals, many revivals, lasting revivals, massive revivals, resting revival, and the revival life. Reformation will lay the foundations for social transformation, social transformations, massive social transformations, and lasting social transformations, and reformation will lay the foundations of harvest, many harvests, massive harvests, and lasting harvests. –(Eph. 2:20, Psa. 11:3)

Apostles and prophets are foundational ministry to the church around the world, reformation is laying the foundations for revivals, social transformations, and harvests, however all apostles and prophets are laying foundation in this reformation and in the church, although there are those called and anointing in the company of reformers. –(Eph. 2:20)

The Spirit of reformation is truth, love, grace, Spirit, life, faith, meekness and patience. Although reformation is fire and it is bold to bring changes in the church, true reformation is truth with love, truth with grace, and truth with meekness and truth with patience. –(Eph. 4:15, Jn. 1:14, Col. 4:6, 1 Pet. 3:15, Jn. 4:23-24, Jn. 6:63, 2 Thess. 2:13, Heb. 6:12)

There are immature, false, misleading, imposture and counterfeit reformers and reformations. If they don’t have the Spirit of reformation, you must question them. –(Eph. 4:13-15)

True and pure reformation does not name names, does not name groups, and does not name movements. Yes in past reformations things may have been different, for the reasons it came to salvation. This is not a reformation to fight for salvation; instead it is a reformation of church government, wineskin, and organic church. The standards of this reformation are being lay before our ears today. –(2 Tim. 1:13)

1. Do not name, names.
2. Do not name groups.
3. Do not name movements.
4. If your in that group, or movements, you can but in the Spirit of reformation.
5. You can attack doctrine, teaching, methods, nature, spiritual, structure, and wineskin, but in the Spirit of Reformation.
6. The reformers may not agree on every thing, but we respect each other’s insight and truth in reformation.
7. What reformers agree upon, we build upon together.
8. Reformers should be in relationship and fellowship with each other.
9. Reformers are to love and be in relationship and fellowship with the Body of Christ based on common ground and common faith; and promote unity and oneness.
10. Reformers seek to flow more in the Spirit of Reformation.

One Man Leadership

One Man Leadership

Elvis Iverson
http://www.elvisiverson.com

The spiritual authority in the church around the world needs corporate reformation and personal reformation, much of the spiritual leadership, is not the leadership of the church, instead it is the leadership of man. –(Zech. 4:6)

There is no scripture foundation for the one-man leadership, there is no one rule leadership in the Church, instead there is only one Head of the church, that our Lord Jesus Christ. One-man leadership is of the Diotrephes spirit, and the wisdom of religion and the wisdom of man. –(3 Jn. 9-12)

There is not scripture foundation for the pastor to lead the whole congregation, there is no scripture foundation for the senior pastor, and the senior pastor is not the will of Christ for the church or the congregation, there is no scripture foundation for the modern day pastor as we see today, instead the pastor is to be the home church leader, to pastor the members from the fellowship of the church in the home. –(Rom. 16:5)

There is no scripture foundation for an apostle to be the one-man leadership or the one-man rule over the church. This is not true apostolic, this is not true apostolic government; the apostles are not lords in the church, instead they are foundational ministry. –(1 Cor. 12:28)

The apostle is first among equals, the apostle is first in church government, he is to lead the way, and this does not mean he is lord, this does not mean one-man leadership, this does not mean one man rule, the apostle is not called to be an tyrant, or autocrat, oppressor of the church, the church government is not a tyranny, totalitarianism. The apostle is the set visionary and set coordinator, he is the senior elder and senior leader, and however he works with the cooperation, continuity, and coherence of the plurality of elders. –(1 Cor. 12:28, Acts 13:1-3)

Yes there is a time for the forerunner, pioneer, and pathfinder work of the apostle, when an apostle must go far ahead of the rest, and may lead as the pioneer without the establishment of the plurality of elders. –(Isa. 62:10)

The plurality of elders work together in cooperation, continuity, and coherence, the senior elder first among equals works with the cooperation, continuity, and coherence of the rest of elders, then he will lead the way in vision and revelation, as the set coordinator of the plurality of elders, and the senior elder of the congregation. –(1 Cor. 12:28)

The senior elder should be an apostle, the senior should be the set man, but this is not a one man leadership, instead he is to lay down the path to follow the set vision, and he is the set visionary of the plurality of elders and the congregation. –(Num. 27:15-23)

The leading elders of the plurality of elders, are first apostles, second prophets, third teachers, these three are the leading elders of the congregation. –(1 Cor. 12:28, Acts 13:1-3)

It is not one-man leadership; it is apostle, prophet, and teacher team. It is not one-man rule, instead it is apostle, prophet, teacher cooperation, continuity, and coherencies, and with the lead apostle being the coordinator of the cooperation, continuity, and coherencies of the plurality of elders. –(1 Cor. 12:28)

Throughout the Holy Scriptures we see the examples of the threefold team of the apostle, prophet, and teacher: We see this in the Trinity the Father, Son and the Holy Spirit; Prophet, King, Priest; Faith, hope, love; prophecy, visions, dreams; and Gifts of the Father, the Five-fold Ministry, and the Gifts of the Spirit. Just as there is the oneness of the Trinity, there is oneness and unity in and between the threefold team. –(1 Cor. 12:28, Acts 13:1-3, Matt. 23:34)

The Threefold team is to form a trinity team in Christ and the Holy Spirit. They are to move in the same unity and same oneness of the Godhead. The congregation is to have the same unity and the same oneness of the Godhead, and the city church is to have the same unity and the same oneness of the Godhead, and the church around the world is to have same unity and the same oneness of the Godhead. –(Jn. 17)

Even the foundation of the church there is no a one man ministry, it is not a one man rule, instead it is apostles and prophet, it is the team work of both the apostle and prophet working together in cooperation, continuity, and coherencies with one another, with the apostle being the leading coordinator of the foundation work of the church however, the apostle leads from with the cooperation, continuity, and coherencies of the two unfolding team. –(Eph. 2:20, 3:5, Rev. 18:20, LK. 11:29, Isa. 1:26)

The believers are to do the work of the ministry, not the five-fold ministry, the believers are to do the work of ministry with cooperation, continuity, and coherencies, in unity and oneness, the five-fold ministry is to equip the saints for the work of ministry; they are the equipping ministry, and they are to equip with cooperation, continuity, and coherencies of one another in unity and oneness in Christ. –(Eph. 4:11-12)

Furthermore, there is no one-man leadership, and there is no one man rule in the church, instead there is cooperation, continuity, and coherencies of spiritual leadership and spiritual authority in the church. –(1 Cor. 12:4-6)

Reformation Spectrum

Reformation Spectrum

Elvis Iverson
http://www.elvisiverson.com

The fires of reformation will be outpoured around the world upon the church, this is the day of great reformation in the church, and there is no comparing with the last reformation, this is the third reformation of the Church, the reformation of the whole church, and the reformation of all things in the church. This reformation will lay the foundation for revivals, many revivals, revival movements, lasting revivals, massive revivals, and resting revivals and the revival life. –(Heb. 12:25-29)

The Lord is bring connections together throughout the church He is establishing apostolic spectrums, prophetic spectrums, revival spectrums, healing spectrums, deliverance spectrums, and reformation spectrums, etc. these spectrums are not just for sharing of information, instead for fellowship and relationship. –(Acts 15:5)

The Lord has shown me that He is rising up a company around the world for reformers; this company is not a huge company it is a company of a certain number, however the Lord shown me that He is raising up a revivalists company that is more then the company of reformers. –(Rev. 4,5)

The company of reformers will not agree on every thing, however those things that they agree upon the church will be built upon. In addition, these reformers will have the Spirit of reformation, a river and anointing from the Holy Spirit. They will seek to grow in relationship and fellowship with each reformer, and with one another in the fires of reformation. –(Matt. 3:8-12)

The Spirit of Reformation is truth, grace, love, meekness, and patience. The Spirit of Reformation is not hate, is not pride, is not forceful, is not controlling, is not legalism, and is not religious. –(Jn. 1:14,16,17, Eph. 4:15, Col. 4:6, 1 Pet. 3:15)

The Lord will establish a reformation spectrum between the reformers; this spectrum is a connection of community, continuity, continuum, composition, communication of reformation truth and vision with relationship building and on going fellowship in grace, truth, love and humility. –(Matt. 19:28)

Application and Understanding

Application and Understanding

Elvis Iverson
http://www.elvisiverson.com

From the Word of God, which is the Bible comes teachings that are to apply to our lives, we are to renew our minds and believe and be a doer of the Word, instead of being a hearer only. Today I want to talk about a principle of application and understanding about how we see the practices and methods that we find in the early church when we apply them to the church today.

There are teachings in the Word, then there are practices and methods in the Word, and from the teaching of the Word we will can have practices and methods, then there are practices and methods that come from the early church written in the Holy Word of God, which is the Bible. There can be teachings that come from these practices and methods that come from the early church that we can apply in the church today.

From the teaching of the Word of God come principles that we are to apply with grace. Then there are principles that can come from the practices and methods that come from the early church that we can apply in the church today with grace.

However, these practices and methods that come from the early church may grow, procreate in their application to the church today, and methods may changes and we may have better ones today since the early church was not prefect, and the Lord has brought restoration and progression to the church, and church that we will have become will be more better and more glorious then early church in the Book of Acts; these practices will come from Word.

Notwithstanding, there are principles, practices and methods that the early church has that we are to apply them; these are ones that are clear in the Holy Scriptures.

Nevertheless, We must understand principles, practices and methods of the early church are not absolutes, they can ether be interpretations, deductions and even beyond these, which we should not build upon. There are the gospel essentials and then there are non-essentials, which is where principles, practices and methods are under.

Notwithstanding, we need to study the practices of the early church and begin to be led by the Holy Spirit in how to apply them for their better then the ones that we have today, they didn’t come from God, instead from man, and it is time to teach these practices and give application of them, so that we may see their fruits and even better fruits then of the early church.

The Thesis of the Third Reformation

The Thesis of the Third Reformation

Elvis Iverson
http://www.elvisiverson.com

We have already enter into the Third Reformation of the Church, The New Apostolic Church is the church of the Third Reformation, and the New Apostolic Church will arise and fill the whole church, and some day in our future the whole church will be the apostolic church. The Third Reformation will touch all believers, and all churches, and all groups in Christianity. The Third Reformation will bring an end to the Christian Religion, and the church will stand as the Priesthood of the Kingdom apart from the Christian Religion, and the bond between the Church and the Kingdom of God will be establish once again, and we will see the glory of the Lord, for the Third Reformation is laying the foundation for many revivals, massive revivals, lasting revivals and the resting revival. –(Prov. 29:18)

In the third reformation many churches will come to an end, and many new apostolic congregations will be birth and rise up in every city of every nation around the world. In the third reformation many Christian groups will come to an end, and many new apostolic networks will be birth and rise up. In our cities, in many cities the new apostolic city church will arise a network of new apostolic congregations in a city. The foundation of the Church shall once again be apostles and prophets, the foundation of the city church shall once again be apostles and prophets, and apostles and prophets shall lead the church once again. –(Jer. 1:10)

The Holy Spirit spoke to me about five reformations throughout the Church history; The First was the reformation in the New Testament Church, the second was the Protestant Reformation, the Third Reformation, is the New Apostolic Reformation, that has already begun, it is our reformation in our times, and in the future there will be two more reformations after this one. The Fourth reformation is the Apostolic Church to the Mature City Church, which is the End Time Church, and the Fifth reformation will be from the End Time Church to the Eternal Bride. –(Heb. 9:10)

Reformation has already begun; this is a time of reformation that has begun. This time of reformation will come to the whole church around the world. I see a vision of angels released in such as a time as this; they are flying over the church around the world, releasing reformation fires upon the church. –(Heb. 9:10)

The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of reformation, and there is beginning an outpouring of the Spirit of reformation upon the Church, the Holy Spirit is the Spirit of Revival and there is coming great outpourings of revival upon the Church. Reformation is laying the foundations for revivals, massive revivals, habitational revival, lasting revivals, and the resting glory of the Lord. –(Jer. 1:10)

There are some who are crying reformation, who are shouting reformation, however they do not have Spirit of Reformation, for true reformation comes with love, grace, patience, and the anointing of the Holy Spirit. –(1 Cor.14: 26, Eph. 4:15)

As reformation comes to the Church on a corporate level, reformation will come on a personal level; from corporate reformation comes personal reformation to you and me. –(Isa. 1:16-20)

We are to pray for corporate reformation to come to the church, we are to be praying for massive corporate reformation to come to the city church, national church and the global church, and we are to pray for personal reformation to come to us. –(MK. 11:11-26)

Apply the process of personal reformation with these sample steps, personal reformation is renewing our minds, and our ways of faith in grace, and anointing. As we change our mindsets, renewing our minds and changing the ways of church on a personal level, we will see the fruits of reformation and the fries of reformation in our lives. –(Matt. 4:17,Rom. 12:2, Heb. 12:25-29)

Process of personal reformation:

· Pray for personal reformation, pray for grace of personal reformation, pray for the Spirit of reformation, and pray for your heart to be filled with love.
· Write down everything you know about church and the Christian life, then write down everything the Bible says about church, and about the Christian life, then repent for doing and being apart of those things that are not the church that are not the Christian life.
· Read, study, and meditate on the Scripture truths on reformation, pray for the Spirit of Wisdom and Spirit of Revelation, and ask the Holy Spirit to teach you and lead you in reformation and personal reformation.
· Read, study, and meditate on teaching and articles that have a nature of reformation, and that is reformation in nature and those on the reformation. Allow the Holy Spirit lead you and teach you, repent of those areas that you follow in faith that is not the ways of Christ for the Church and the Christian life.
· Begin to change the way you do Church, and the way you do Christian life.
· Seek to fellowship with those who are seeking the Lord for reformation and personal reformation.

· Begin to share the truths of reformation with others, in love and grace.
· Pray and ask the Lord to open your eyes to any demon that is in your life that is against the reformation, then pray, bind, cast out those evil spirits that are against reformation and break any soul ties with things, people, ideals, groups, that are against reformation. Pray for fires of reformation to burn those things away from your life.
· Be open to others about reformation, and reformation truth, all those in reformation may not agree on everything, but those things we agree upon we built upon, and show love and respect to those who teach reformation things that you disagree about, and built upon those things you agree upon, and above all fellowship is based upon the Cross of Christ.

As you enter into personal reformation be humble and have a listening ear to hear from the Holy Spirit and from others around you. Ask the Lord to guard the truths of reformation in your heart and lead you in the process of reformation. –(Gal. 3:1-9, 5:1,7-15)

Modern Day Pharisees

Modern Day Pharisees

Elvis Iverson
http://www.elvisiverson.com

We have already enter into the times of reformation, the third reformation of the Church, the new apostolic reformation, this is the reformation of the whole church and all of Christianity, new apostolic Christianity will arise, and the new apostolic church will arise around the earth, and the new apostolic city church will arise in many cities around the world. –(Heb. 9:10)

The Pharisaic spirit in the modern day Pharisees hinders the ways of the Lord in the earth, they stand in the way of the Holy Spirit, they stand in the way of the return of Christ, they stand in the way of the city church, they stand in the way of revival, they stand in the way of the harvest, they stand in the way of Israel coming to know the Lord, for all of Israel shall come to salvation. They are the great hindrance, and they are an alliance with Satan, for he dwells among the religious and the hypocrites. –(Matt. 4:5)

The religious spirit is the enemy of the apostles and the prophets, the religious works to control God, which no man can control God, those who have align themselves with religious spirits have set themselves up for the judgment of the Lord that is coming upon the religious and the hypocrites that try to built hindrance against the Kingdom of God. –(Matt. 23, LK. 11:37-54)

God is calling all those who have been religious to come to true repentance. The Lord has mercy on sinners, backsliders, those trying to overcome sin, those living in sin, the believers and even the religious, but He has no mercy on those who are hypocrites full of hypocrisy. There are those who are religious, that can still hear a little, but those who are hypocrites cannot hear, and may never repent. Only if there were some kind of divine act they would come to repentance. –(LK. 12:1-3, Matt. 23:28,Matt. 16:5-12)

Saul who is also name Paul become a man full of hypocrisy, and he is was a hypocrite, who didn’t hear the voice of God, and God’s in His Divine purpose and will moved by divine act and brought this man to true repentance. Fearful truth is that only a very few among the companies of hypocrites, will ever come to true repentance. Even after Paul becomes a believer, and an apostle, it took him years to be free from religion. You too can be free from religion. –(Gal. 2:6,1 Tim.1: 15, 1 Cor. 15:9-11)

In our time, the Lord will set the church free from the Christian religion, and church will again become the priesthood of the Kingdom, ambassadors of the Kingdom, and Bride of Christ, and the Church shall arise as the city of God around the world. Yes the believer is a priest, however most of the church have broken their bond with the Kingdom of God, and in our time the Lord will restore the bond between the church and the Kingdom, yes all those who know Christ personally are born of the Spirit. –(Gal. 4:19)

Modern day Pharisees hinder real unity in the church from moving forth, for the reason is pride and control, every one wants to be a big person, instead submitting to one another, and those who the Lord has set apart to lead the church. It is hard to be a humble leader; it is hard to walk in humility with one another in Christ. –(3 Jn. 9-12)

Modern day Pharisees walk in a spirit of control, they control all those under them, it is very hard to enter into ministry, to do new things of the Spirit in the cities where they live, they are not open to new things of the Spirit, they try to control the Holy Spirit, and they have brought rest to the Holy Spirit movements among their cities. –(Zech. 6:8)

Modern day Pharisees don’t like new churches, don’t like the new guy on the block, they will act nine and kind, but their inward will is to stop such people, for they think they are the only church in town, they have a corner on God that no one else has, and they don’t believe in you, for the reason they can only see their face, not the face of Christ. –(Gal. 5:7-15)

Modern day Pharisees don’t like prophets, they don’t like the prophetic words from then their months, they will stop even hurt the prophets, they believe there call is to kill and murder every prophet among them, and those who come to their cities, they lie in wait to take hold of the prophets and them control and destroy them. Modern day Pharisees have a spirit of murder that dwells in their hearts, with lists of blood to shed. –(Matt. 23:34, LK. 11:49, Rev. 20:20)

Modern day Pharisees don’t have the key of knowledge and they hinder others from having the key of knowledge, they don’t like revelation, they don’t like Word revelation, there minds and hearts are not open to truth, or whole truth. If they hear truth that they have not understood before they become angry and will not search the Word of God for truth, they will begin to attack without thinking. They love to quarrel, and they love strife. –(LK. 11:52)

Notwithstanding the apostles have raising in the Holy Spirit, and they will not fail, they will not be burn out, they will have the last word, they will overcome, they will break the walls of division, they will built the new apostolic church, they will lay the foundation for lasting revivals. They will open the gates and doors in their cities to open them to revivals, and the Holy Spirit. Modern day Pharisees cannot stand against them, they cannot stop them, they cannot control them, and they cannot stand before them, or among them. –(Rom. 9:16,18,21,22,23)

Furthermore, we have come to beginning of the end of religion in the church, the beginning of the end of the sins of religion and hypocrisy, and we have come to the beginning of the end of the companies of the Modern day Pharisees. –(2 Thess. 3:1-5)

How to become a City of the Apostles

How to become a City of the Apostles

Elvis Iverson
http://www.elvisiverson.com/

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The Signs of Grace Giving

The Signs of Grace Giving

Elvis Iverson
http://www.elvisiverson.com

The reformation of church economics has already begun, this is one of the main issues of the third reformation; this reformation has already begun as a lamb, soon will become a roaring lion, and then move fast as a horse.

Grace giving is biblical giving; grace giving is giving founded on a sound solid holy ground, grace giving has a sound foundation of biblical foundation. Grace giving is the will of God for giving in the church. Grace giving is a better way of giving, and grace giving is a tree of life in giving.

All believers are to give, and are to be faithful in giving. First and foremost God will provide you all your needs, He will take care of you no matter if you give or don’t give. First the Lord blesses you with financial blessings so that you can take care of yourself and your love ones, and enjoy life. Then if you give, and when you give He will bless you again, first He bless you with financial blessings, then it is up to you if to give or not to give. If you give He will bless you with more blessings. This is what I called a double portion blessing, first the Lord gives financial blessings to you, then He gives you free will to give willing, and if you give you are again blessed with more financial blessings.

With grace giving you are to first take care of your family before you give to a church. Then you are giving according to how much you prosper, if you prosper more, you then can give more. Besides, you are to purpose in your heart what you are to give. On one hand you are to give according to has you prosper, and at the same time give as your purpose in you heart. Giving from heart and giving in liberty will open you to hear the Holy Spirit in leading you in grace giving.

When you give you are to give willing and cheerful. Giving is to be done in faith, yes see the need, but give in faith, you are to give an act of worship, giving is a form of worship, and you are to give in grace.

We are to give, we cannot go without giving as we prosper, however there are certain times when a person only has money to take care of them self and their loves one. During those times you can pray for the Lord to give you grace and seed in order to give. The Lord understands you, and loves you. There is liberty and freedom in grace giving.

The Lord wants us to support those who feed us spiritual, He wants us to support the local fellowship where you belong, the Lord wants you to support apostles and prophets, the Lord wants you to support missionary work around the world, and the Lord wants us help those among the church in need, and to feed the poor, above all be led by the Holy Spirit, you may not have the grace and seed to give to all these things, etc. give only to those things that you have grace and seed to give to, and be led by the Holy Spirit.

There are seven signs of grace giving, if you believe and you are faithful in grace giving you will see all these signs of grace giving in your life. –(2 Cor. 8,10)

1. He provides seed and grace. If you don’t have seed to give, ask the Lord to give you seed so that you can give. In grace giving the Lord gives the seed first to you. If you ask Him, He will give you grace and seed. –(2 Cor. 9:10)
2. You will reap sparingly and reap bountifully. If you give in grace and seed, and you are faithful you will reap in finances. –(2 Cor. 9:6)
3. All grace, sufficiency, abounds in every good work. When you move in grace giving, giving in grace and seed, there will be grace in all areas of your life and you will abound in every good work that is the power of grace giving. –(2 Cor. 9:8)
4. You will abound in grace giving. If you pray for grace and seed, if you give in grace and seed, if you are faithful in grace giving you will abound in grace giving. –(2 Cor. 8:7)
5. Fruit that abounds to your account, a sweet-smelling aroma, an acceptable sacrifice, well pleasing to God. Grace giving is an acceptable sacrifice, and it will abound to your account in the Third Heaven. –(Phil. 4:13-19)
6. Overcoming poverty and debt, financial suffering and financial lack. Grace giving has the power to set your free from debt and lack. –(2 Cor. 8:1-3)
7. Increase in the fruits of righteousness. When we give we are to give in faith, give in grace, give in worship, give with a willing heart, give with a cheerful heart, give as you purpose in your heart, and if we give in grace and seed, and if we are faithful to grace giving you will increase in the fruits of righteousness. –(2 Cor. 9:10)

Grace giving is not some new teaching it has been here since the beginning of the church, now we are seeing a restoration of grace giving in the New Apostolic Reformation. –(2 Cor. 9,10)

The Gospel Of Prosperity

The Gospel Of Prosperity

Elvis Iverson
http://www.elvisiverson.com

Prosperity is God’s will? Is the gospel of prosperity an antichrist gospel? Is the gospel of prosperity a false teaching? However, the gospel of poverty is not God’s will, poverty is not from God, poverty is a curse, poverty is an evil spirit, and the gospel of poverty came from pagan religions, deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons instead, the gospel of prosperity comes from Israel. –(Eph. 2:11-13)

Poverty is a curse that can be broken, and poverty is an evil spirit that can be bound in the name of Jesus. Prosperity is God’s will; the will of the Lord is for every believer to have good success, financial freedom, financial independence, have a better life, and be a generosity, cheerful, and Spirit led giver. –(2 Cor. 9:7-8)

It the application of prosperity that is wrong, there needs to be a practical application of prosperity. The Lord gives me this term to give us a practical application of prosperity, which I call workplace prosperity. The Lord gives us grace and anointing to flow in the practical application of workplace prosperity. He helps us find opportunities, careers and jobs that are the joy of our heart, He give us grace and wisdom to become wise in stewardship, investments, and to abound generosity-cheerful-Spirit led giving; then to enjoy the labors of our hands in resting. –(Eccl. 5:19-20, 3:13)

Biblical prosperity comes through grace and anointing with godly contentment, learning to be abased; going without, and then learning to abound. Biblical prosperity is an application of prosperity for all believers in all nations. –(Phil. 4:11-13, 19)

Unfortunately, the world gives us wrong ideals of prosperity and wealth, and even the church gives us wrong ideals of prosperity and wealth. The wealthy and the millionaire goal is financial independence; they save first to have enough to make investments, building wealth to accumulate wealth over time, and they spent a lot of time financial planning, budgeting, and setting goals. They do not wear their luxury or drive their luxury, or live in their luxury, instead truly being wealthy in heart, family, investments, and philanthropic giving. Frugality translates into wealth, low consumption to high investments, and living in middle-class neighborhoods. These are the true ideals of prosperity and wealth. –(1 Tim. 6:17-19, Jam. 1:9-11, 2:1-13, Lk.18: 11-27)

The ministry of grace giving must be establish in the church, grace giving is biblical giving, grace giving has sound biblical foundation, and grace giving institution will bring freedom, liberty, willingness in giving, and allow a person to be led by the Holy Spirit in grace giving. Grace giving institution bring more financial
support for a church, and more reaping of blessings for the giver. –(2 Cor. 8, 9)

There is coming an outpouring of workplace prosperity upon all believers in all nations.

Reformation of Unity

Reformation of Unity


Elvis Iverson
http://www.elvisiverson.com


In order for true biblical unity to come there needs for a true and graceful reformation to bring divine and holy changes to make ready and have an environment in the body of Christ for unity to come, for unity to remain, and for unity to grow unto mature unity. –(Heb. 9:10)

Some people believe Christian unity is evil, or bad, they fear things that are not facts, based on some end time mindsets that are unscriptural. People believe some churches are the “false prophet” that will lead them to the “Antichrist”. Yes there are false prophets, and there is an antichrist spirits. However, unity is biblical and unity is a major part of the future of the church. The church will become a glorious church, a holy church, a fully restored church, and a united church. –(Eph. 5:27,4:13)

This is why we must teach unity to the hearts of beilevers everywhere, this is why we must renew one another’s minds to biblical unity. Unity is God’s will, and the church will come unto the unity of the faith and have city church unity. –(Psa. 133)

In this third reformation there will be waves of reformation in this reformation, one of these waves will be a reformation of unity. The third reformation will bring lasting unity, steadfast unity, and growing unity unto mature unity. –(Eph. 4:4-6)

I personally pray for Christian unity to come in the church around the world, however at the same time I know a holy reformation will bring the true restoration of biblical unity in the body of Christ. –(Jn. 17)

To understand unity, you must understand the city church, right now the city church is in pastoral unity, and we are going to apostolic unity, this unity will lead to an increase unity unto the mature unity, which is the unity of the faith, and through this reformation, and the next stage of the city church we will see real unity in our time that grow beyond our time to the mature unity. –(Eph. 4:13-16)

Emerging City Church part five

Emerging City Church part five

Elvis Iverson
March 11, 2007
http://www.elvisiverson.com

The Spirit of revival is coming to all in Christ, the Spirit of reformation is coming to all in Christ and the Spirit of social transformation is coming to all cities where the City Church is emerging to the next level. The will of Christ is revival, reformation, and social transformation.

I see the Pillar of Fire come to the city church in all cities and to all congregations; this is reformation that is coming. I see the Pillar of Cloud coming to the city church in all cities and to all congregations this is revival however, is I see a resting fire coming upon the city church in all cities, and I see a resting revival coming upon the city church in all cities.

The winds of change, the winds of the Kingdom of God, the winds of heaven, the winds of the Holy Spirit and the forces of wealth are coming to the city church and your city.

I see John the Baptist in the streets of our cities saying come down and become Baptist in revival and reformation, and I see the Spirit of Jesus arising upon the congregations of the city church and the city church in all cities. I see the house of the Lord arising in all cities.

The gate of the city where be the seated place of authority of apostles and prophets, territorial apostles, city church apostles, and workplace apostles, and the city church center. I see angelic hosts being poured upon all cities.

Where the emerging city church is, meaning where the congregations come into the vision and order of the city church, those cities will grow and increase and become greater and more blessed then other cities, those cities that don’t open there hearts to the city church, and those congregations that don’t come into the order of the city church, those cities will decrease. New Major Cities and Gateways Cities are about to be birth by the power and grace of the city church. The markets will flow and wealth will flow into these cities, and through these cities and from these cities.

The winds of reformation, the winds of revival, and the winds of social transformation, and the winds of harvest are coming to the city church in all cities. Apostolic unity will come as a crown of vision and revelation upon the city church.

The winds of reformation are coming to the city church in your city. Winds of reformation will root out all things in the church in your city that are not of God, the winds of reformation will pull down all things that are in the church in your city that are not of God, the winds of reformation will destroy those things that stand in the way of Spirit, the way of the Kingdom, the way of the apostle, the way of the prophet, the way of the city church, the winds of reformation will throw down all things that are in false authority, those things that the Holy Spirit has not built, and those things that are against the city church, and are not of God, the winds of reformation will build the city church, and all things that come into order with the city church, and the winds of reformation will plant the city church, things in the city church, new things, new seed, and things of God.

Can you see or hear these things that coming? Where have you been? Are you on your watch post? What have you done with your time?

What are the factors and characteristics of an apostasy church? First and foremost we have come to a day when all these factors of the apostasy church will be totality and finality burn away from the church. –(Heb. 12:25-29)

In the first of the days church was the beginning, this church was not prefect or mature, the church in the future will be even be greater and more mature then the church in the Book of Acts. –(Eph. 5:26-27, 4:13)

Reconstruction of the Church part two

Reconstruction of the Church part two

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)

Many dead works and works of religion will reap the whirlwinds of reformation. Many have said in their own knowledge where is the reformation, where is this reformation that the prophets have said is coming?

The Holy Spirit is saying to you who say such these, when will you learn, when will you repent of testing the Lord. You who have hated the works of the Spirit shall be visited with the whirlwinds of reformation.

As the whirlwinds of reformation come upon the church in your city and in all cities and the churches in nations around the world, seek the Lord for personal reformation!

Do not be found without the fires of reformation in your heart! The fires of reformations are His grace to you, and His mercy is the revivals that are coming.

Many things will reap the whirlwinds of reformation in this time. These whirlwinds of reformation are making ways and pathways for his blessings, revelations from the Lord to flow, and revivals to come.

These whirlwinds of reformation will make a way for the works of the Spirit, and the apostolic works to be birth, establish, and grow and become fruitful in the land.

Reconstruction of the Church part one

Reconstruction of the Church part one

We have already enter into the time of reformation when the church will be reconstructed to the Word of God, Nature of Christ, Order of God, the Will of God, and of the ways of the Holy Spirit. This reformation is the third reformation; this is a reformation of all things in the church. –(Heb. 9:10)

The first reconstruction of the church will be the reconstruction to relationship; for most of the history of the church has been without relationship, we have be building outside of relationship, and our fellowships are not base on relationship, and therefore we have been in a famine of relationship and love for some time, this has open the door for certain things to enter the church. –(1 Jn. 1:1-10)

We must build the walls and the gates, the walls are called salvation and the gates are called praise. Christ is the King of kings and Lord of lords over His Kingdom and He is the Head and Chief Apostle over the whole church and all apostles, prophets and leaders. He is building two houses; one is the Kingdom of God, the other is the Church. The foundation of the Church is the Apostles and Prophets, and Jesus Christ is the Chief Cornerstone. The Church is build upon the Kingdom of God; the Church is a city build at the top of the Kingdom of God. The foundation of the Kingdom of God is the Rock of Christ, the Rock of Christ grow into a great mountain, which is called the Kingdom of God. We must know the purpose of the Church and the purpose of the Kingdom; the Church is the priesthood of the Kingdom of God, we are at the beginning of end of restoration of the priesthood and the priest, now we are entering into the beginning of the restoration of the kings of the Kingdom. This is why we have enter into this reformation, and God will use apostles in this holy reformation, and He will use apostles is rising up the kings of His Kingdom. The next steps are the equipping of the saints and then the step of rising of the kings of the Kingdom. –(Rev. 1:5-6, 5:10, 1 Pet. 2:5,9)

We lead people to Christ; then we lead them away from Christ! Living for Christ is ongoing relationship with Him; through our so-called Churchianity we have been leading them away. We must establish young believers in their relationship with Christ and their relationship with one another. First and foremost the church must be build on relationship and then revelation. Relationship is living in the love of Christ and loving one another, then relationship is the doorway for revelation to flow in our lives; revelation is truth and Grace. –(Matt. 22:37-39, Deut. 6:5, Jn. 13:34-35, Gal. 5:14)

When a believer comes to know Christ they are a babe, as they grow they become children, and then young men, and from their they become fathers, or you can say mature believers. Milk is for babes and children. We are feed the lamps, and then we are to feed the sleep with the meat of the Word. The meat of the Word is for young men and fathers or you can say mature believers. –(Heb. 5:12-14)

When a person comes to know Christ they need to be discipleship; which is the teaching of the elementary principles of Christ and reaching a point when a person can stand on their two own feet as a believer in Christ. Today we have many who cannot stand on their two own feet. How can they stand after all they have done if we do not first establish them in the elementary principles of faith? –(Matt. 28:19-20)

A congregation is the network of home cells. Home cells are the place where we build relationship. After babes in Christ pass through the door of discipleship, then they need to enter into a fellowship of believers in a home cell. A home cell is the place where there is relationship, ministry of the gifts of the Spirit, caring for one another, eating together, and praying for one another. –(Acts 2:42, 46)

This is why home cell leaders must be train, they must work in a team, and every thing in a congregation must be done in teams. Home Cell leaders carry the function of pastors to the congregation, and leadership is raised up among the home cell leaders. The need for a pastor changes; babes and children need a pastor to feed and care for them more, however young men and mature believers don’t need a pastor like babes and children do, instead they need a pastor for fellowship, prayer, and encouragement. Children are equipped, young men are mentor and father. After one goes through discipleship they are to be equipped for the work of the ministry. The saints are to do the work of the ministry the five-fold ministry is to equip the saints, apostles and prophets are the foundation of the church, the first and second in church government, and the apostles, prophets and teachers are to minister in work of the government of the church. –(Eph. 4:11-12, 1 Cor. 12:28)

The Home Cells are for relationship, fellowship, prayer, encouragement, and accountability. The congregation is for corporate worship, vision, equipping, and apostolic and prophetic ministry. Apostles, prophets and teachers minister within the whole of the congregation. An apostle is the senior elder of a congregation, along with other apostles, prophets, and teachers. The leadership of the whole congregation is mature ministers, which are called elders. A congregation is when home cells come together for corporate ministry. –(1 Cor. 12:28)
