The Lord God Almighty is once
again stirring
the hearts of His people to walk in a dimension not
yet experienced in the earth since the 3rd century! He is
preparing an Apostolic Holy Spirit filled
Church! It is an army of specialists trained and made
ready for the awesome things He has
prepared and shall reveal in this season of the 21st century!
The three
crosses of Calvary represent God's Plan For Man.
To
the right and left
of Christ were highwayman robbers: men who would beat, steal and
leave their victims stripped of all
possessions, even to die.
1.
Jesus
Christ,
the
Son of God, suffered the cross for the
salvation of all mankind.
Through the Cross, Father God
established a New Covenant... The Covenant of His Son.
The Kingdom of God and His
Righteousness would now be established in Heaven and in the
earth. Through the resurrection from the
dead by the Holy Spirit to Life eternal, Messiah
would be exalted and seated as King of all
things to rule in fulfillment of His promises
spoken to the prophets.
2. One thief suffering the sentence of death for his
sinful deeds held to his self-centered
convictions and was blind to the grace of
God that could be his...condemned not only to
natural death, but due
to hardness of heart and unbelief and lacking fear of God condemned
to eternal separation from God.... the
sentence of Hell.
3. One thief suffering the sentence of death for his
sinful deeds yielded honor to the
Lord Jesus
and asked to be with Him when He received
His kingdom. His reward was forgiveness and
the promise of Heaven in the eternal
presence of God.
Luke 23:38-43 AMP
38
For
there
was
also an inscription above Him in letters of Greek and
Latin and Hebrew:
This
is
the
King
of the Jews.
39 one of the criminals who was suspended kept up a railing at Him,
saying, Are You not the
Christ (the Messiah)? Rescue Yourself and us [from
death]!
40 But the other one reproved him, saying, Do you not even fear God,
seeing you yourself
are
under
the
same
sentence of condemnation and suffering the same
penalty?
41 And we indeed suffer it justly, receiving the due reward of our
actions; but this Man has done
nothing out of the way [nothing strange or
eccentric or perverse or unreasonable].
42 Then he said to Jesus, Lord, remember me when You come in Your
kingly glory!
43 And He answered him, Truly I tell you, today you shall be with Me in
Paradise.
The
21st century apostolic Church will be known by its mature
faith and love.
Just as Jesus was taken through the furnace of trial, God's
chosen army will
suffer the
transformation from self-centered lives to Christ-centered
lives. The Holy
Spirit will establish
God's army in a restoration of apostolic faith in their
hearts so that there can
be a full restoration
of apostolic power, gifts and ministry. It will be
the tests, trials
and tribulations that will
strengthen the Body into a force that matures
faith and dependence upon God in every
circumstance in order to fulfill the calling as
disciples. At this juncture, the Body will
no longer be
relying on "self," but yield entirely upon God the
Holy Spirit.
Luke 9:23-26 AMP
23
And
He
said
to all, If any person wills to come after Me, let him
deny himself [disown himself,
forget, lose sight of himself and his own
interests, refuse and give up himself] and take up
his cross daily and follow Me
[cleave steadfastly to Me, conform wholly to My example
in living and, if need be, in
dying also].
24 For whoever would
preserve his life and save it will lose and destroy it, but whoever
loses
his life for My sake, he will
preserve and save it [from the penalty of eternal death].
25 For what does it
profit a man, if he gains the whole world and ruins or forfeits (loses)
himself?
26 Because whoever is
ashamed of Me and of My teachings, of him will the Son of Man be
ashamed when He comes in the [threefold] glory
(the splendor and majesty) of Himself and
of the Father and of the holy angels.
The contemporary church has lost the message and the principles
of the Gospel.
But, there is Good News! God is raising up a new
generation, an
apostolic and prophetic army!
2 Corinthians
5:15-18 AMP
...
He
died
for
all, so that all those who live might live no longer to
and for themselves, but to and
for
Him
Who
died
and was raised again for their sake.
16 Consequently, from now on we estimate and regard no one from a
[purely] human point of
view
[in
terms
of
natural standards of value]. [No] even though we once
did estimate Christ from
a
human
viewpoint
and
as a man, yet now [we have such knowledge of Him
that] we know Him
no
longer
[in
terms
of the flesh].
17 Therefore if any person is [ingrafted] in Christ (the Messiah) he is
a new creation (a new
creature
altogether);
the
old
[previous moral and spiritual condition]
has passed away. Behold,
the
fresh
and
new
has come!
18 But all things are from God, Who through Jesus Christ reconciled us
to Himself [received us
into
favor,
brought
us
into harmony with Himself] and gave to us the
ministry of reconciliation
[that
by
word
and
deed we might aim to bring others into harmony with
Him].
His army is being
completely
emptied of self-will,
joyfully submitted to a deep relationship
with the Holy Spirit and speaking in authority that the
very
foundations of Hell tremble at the
sound of their voices! Remember, one of the
objectives of the Lord Jesus Christ's mission to
earth was to defeat and destroy the works of the
devil. We are to walk in that work to now
break the bondages of the world of darkness.
1 John 3:8 AMP
[But]
he
who
commits
sin [who practices evildoing] is of the devil
[takes his character from the
evil
one],
for
the
devil has sinned (violated the divine law) from the
beginning. The reason the
Son
of
God
was
made manifest (visible) was to undo (destroy, loosen,
and dissolve) the works
the
devil
[has
done].
=====================================
Apostolic
- Prophetic Church
The preaching of
the Gospel as revealed in Acts 2: 21-42 by Apostle Peter is the Gospel
of the
Kingdom of the King. He preached the Gospel
that Jesus entrusted to His Apostles
of the
Lamb, the
apostolate... the fellowship of apostles. They were the chosen
original apostolic
company, the first apostolic team commissioned to Go
Forth in the "Jewish Campaign" to gather
the believing remnant of Israel in the establishment
of New Covenant Israel... The Kingdom of
Righteousness through faith in Jesus Christ would
bring the end of the age of Moses by the
year 70 AD with the destruction of
Jerusalem and the destruction of the old order of worship at
Herod's temple. The destruction of the City,
and theTemple was seen by the prophet Daniel...
He prophesied the Abomination of
Desolation in which "the people of the prince" would come
and destroy the city of Jerusalem following the death of
the Messiah.
(Ephesians
2:2 the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now works
in the children of
disobedience:) see Luke 21:20..." Jesus said, "when you see
Jerusalem surrounded by
armies, (the Roman army of the beast, Nero)...then recognize that her desolation is at
hand."
Daniel 9:26-27 NASU
...Messiah will be cut off and have
nothing, and the people of the prince who is to come will
destroy the city and the sanctuary... on the wing of
abominations will come one who makes
desolate, even until a complete destruction, one that is
decreed, is poured out on the one who
makes desolate." When Jerusalem became surrounded by
armies--that would be the
Abomination of Desolution.
The Old would
be destroyed and the New would be inaugurated! It would take only
30 years,
to fulfill the prophesy of the Lord that he spoke to both
the disciples and to the Jewish leaders.
His
kingdom
would
be
established within their generation, not some
future millennium.
Luke 21:31-32 AMP
...when
you
see
these
things taking place, understand and know that the
kingdom of God is
at hand.
32
Truly
I
tell you, this generation ( those living at that definite
period of time) will
not perish and pass away until all has taken place.
The apostasy that the Lord Jesus said would
come, came in exact manner as He prophesied
and it came before the end of the 1st
century! It came in the generation that was living from
the time of the Lord's crucifixion until the total
destruction of Jerusalem in 70 AD.
While it is true that throughout Church
history, there have been other periods of decline and
apostasy including the 20th and 21st century, the
Lord's Church will not fail in her purpose...
Through the church's founder, Jesus Christ and
enthronement to the right hand of the Father
which is the position of "all authority and
power," Lord of lords, and King of kings... as well
as the Head of the church... the Bride will
ultimately succeed in her mission of discipling the
nations and filling the earth with the glory of
God. There is a tremendous move of God
throughout the nations of the world this very
hour! The Holy Spirit is being poured out upon
flesh as prophesied by the prophet Joel!
The outpouring of the Holy Spirit was
the evidence
of the dawning of Messiah's Day as
prophesied by the prophet Joel. The outpouring has
been in the earth since the day of
Pentecost, the inauguration of the Church Age.
(Acts
2:16 AMP)
But
[instead] this is [the beginning
of] what was spoken through the prophet Joel:
And
the
prophet David (Acts 2:29-30) AMP
Brethren, it is
permitted me to tell you confidently and with freedom concerning the
patriarch
David that he both died and was buried, and his tomb is
with us
to this day.
30
Being
however
a
prophet, and knowing that God had sealed to him with
an oath that
He would
set
one
of his descendants on his throne,
Acts 2:38-40 AMP
And Peter answered
them, Repent (change your views and
purpose to
accept the will of God
in your inner selves instead of rejecting it)
and be baptized, every one of you, in the name
of Jesus Christ for the
forgiveness of and release from your sins; and you shall receive the
gift
of the Holy Spirit.
39 For the promise [of the Holy Spirit] is to and
for you
and your
children, and to and for all that
are far away, [even] to and for as
many as the Lord our God invites and bids to come to Himself.
[Isa
57:19; Joel 2:32.]
40 And [Peter] solemnly and earnestly witnessed
(testified) and
admonished (exhorted) with
much more continuous speaking and warned
(reproved, advised, encouraged) them, saying,
Be saved from this
crooked (perverse, wicked, unjust) generation.
The Day
of Pentecost was the inauguration of Messiah's Day,
the Day of His enthronement... the initiation of the New
Covenant,
the Church Age... the time of millennial reigning on the
eternal throne
of David.
Acts 2:32-36 AMP
This Jesus God
raised up, and of that all we [His disciples] are witnesses.
33 Being therefore lifted high by and to the right
hand of God, and having received from the
Father the promised [blessing which is the] Holy Spirit,
He has made this outpouring which
you yourselves both see and hear.
34 For David did not ascend into the heavens; yet he
himself says, The Lord said to my Lord,
Sit at My right hand and share My throne
35 Until I make Your enemies a footstool for Your
feet. [Ps 110:1.]
36 Therefore let the whole house of Israel recognize
beyond all doubt and acknowledge
assuredly that God has
made
Him both Lord and Christ (the
Messiah)--
this Jesus Whom you crucified.
The
inauguration and establishment of the New Covenant was Confirmed.
God has never
rescinded the eternal throne of David which
scripture plainly states was established in heaven
for the duration of forever and ever.
The Church has
lost the Gospel of the Kingdom message!
Through the resurrection, ascension and enthronement,
thereafter, the Holy Spirit was poured
out upon those who were instructed to wait upon the
Promise. They were filled with Him and
empowered for the apostolic mission the Lord had
commissioned during His 40 days with the
apostles demonstrating and telling them of the
things of the Kingdom.
Acts
1:3 AMP
To them also He
showed Himself alive after His passion (His suffering in the garden and
on
the cross) by [a series of] many
convincing demonstrations
[unquestionable evidences and
infallible proofs], appearing to them during
forty days and talking [to
them] about the things
of the kingdom of God.
The Apostle John records the awesomeness of all that
the Lord Jesus did both before and
after His resurrection... John 21:25 AMP
And there
are also many other things which Jesus did. If they should be all
recorded one by
one [in detail], I suppose that even the
world itself could
not contain (have room for) the books
that would
be written.
Paul,
too, was given the revelation of the Kingdom directly from the Lord.
Galatians
2:1-2;
7-9
AMP
THEN
AFTER
[an
interval]
of fourteen years I again went up to
Jerusalem. [This time I went]
with Barnabas, taking Titus along with [me] also.
2
I
went
because
it was specially and divinely revealed to me that I
should go, and I put before
them the Gospel [declaring to them that] which I
preach among the Gentiles. However,
[I presented the matter] privately before those of
repute, [for I wanted to make certain, by thus
at first confining my communication to this private
conference] that I was not running or had
not run in vain [guarding against being
discredited either in
what I was planning to do or had
already done].
7...when
they
[really]
saw
that I had been entrusted [to carry] the
Gospel to the uncircumcised
[Gentiles, just as definitely] as Peter had been
entrusted [to proclaim] the Gospel to the
circumcised [Jews, they were agreeable];
8
For
He
Who
motivated and fitted Peter and worked effectively through
him for the mission
to the circumcised, motivated and fitted
me and worked
through me also for [the mission to]
the Gentiles.
9
And
when
they knew (perceived, recognized, understood, and
acknowledged) the grace
(God's unmerited favor and spiritual blessing) that had
been bestowed upon me, James and
Cephas (Peter) and John, who were reputed to be pillars of
the Jerusalem church, gave to
me and Barnabas the right hand of
fellowship, with the
understanding that we should go to
the Gentiles and they to the circumcised
(Jews).
Note: The right hand of fellowship is
the act of acceptance into the fellowship of the apostles.
The
Lord
established
His
order for the Church through the "apostolate."
His
Church
is
established
upon the foundations of Him with the apostles
and prophets
building
divinely upon that foundation as "master builders." Christ Jesus
has not
rescinded His
apostolic gifts of men to the church.
Ephesians
4:12
AMP
His
intention was the perfecting and the full equipping of the saints (His
consecrated people),
[that they should do] the work of ministering toward
building up Christ's body (the church),
Apostle
John gives us a deeper understanding of the invitation to the
fellowship
of the apostles. Not only is it divine order
established by
Christ with His apostles,
but it is the divine order given for all Holy
Spirit-filled
consecrated
believers
and
followers.
1 John
1:2-5 AMP
2 And the
Life [an aspect of His being] was revealed (made manifest,
demonstrated),
and we saw [as eyewitnesses] and are
testifying to and declare to
you the Life, the eternal
Life [in Him] Who already existed with the Father
and Who [actually] was
made visible
(was revealed) to us [His followers].
3
What
we
have
seen and [ourselves] heard, we are also telling you, so
that you too may
realize and enjoy fellowship as partners and partakers
with us. And [this] fellowship that we
have [which is a distinguishing mark of Christians] is
with the Father and with His Son Jesus
Christ (the Messiah).
4
And
we
are
now writing these things to you so that our joy [in seeing
you included] may be
full
[and
your
joy
may be complete].
5
And
this
is
the message [the message of promise] which we have heard
from Him and now
are reporting to you: God is Light, and there is no darkness in Him at
all [no, not in any
way].
God is
One, yet three in Persons, Father, Son and Holy Spirit. He
is Truth, Life and Spirit!
To be like the Lord Jesus and to function in
apostolic power, we must be Spirit-filled!
We will walk deeper into the "sign of
the Spirit-filled believer" as we progress in this letter.
Apostle Paul was called as an apostle to the
nations (Gentiles). He and Barnabas are the
original "models" of the ascension-gift
apostles. The Lord added other ascension-gift apostles
to Paul's apostolic TEAM. The Lord has never rescinded ascension-gift
apostles
no
matter
what others may teach. The scriptures were
not
altered to exclude the gifts of the Spirit from
the Church nor the ascension-gifts of apostles,
prophets, evangelists and pastors and teachers.
Acts
13:1-2 AMP
NOW IN the church
(assembly) at Antioch there were prophets (inspired interpreters of the
will and purposes of God) and teachers:
Barnabas, Symeon
who was called Niger [Black],
Lucius of Cyrene, Manaen a member of the court of
Herod
the tetrarch, and Saul.
2
While they were worshiping the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said,
Separate now for
Me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I
have
called them.
Apostle Paul and His apostolic Team preached the same message as
the Apostles of the
Lamb. (See Acts 13:16-52) They
worked
together with the Apostles of the Lamb to gather
the believing remnant of the scattered Jews
throughout
the nations and the "first-fruits" of
the Gentile nations to establish the "New
Covenant
Israel," Zion
is
the
spiritual
nation,
the Church of the first born, the
instrumentality
of the Kingdom established to extend the
message of the King and His borders into all
nations until the
glory of the Lord
fills the earth
as the waters cover the seas. Paul always went
first to the Jewish
synagogues.
They
preached the Gospel of the Kingdom and they ministered in the apostolic
power
of the
Holy Spirit. God has never changed His plan for the
Church nor has He changed His
apostolic
order for the Church.
"Falling away believers" began to leave the
Church due to persecution and by the 3rd century
Constantine had seized the Church for financial
greed and
political power. These actions
resulted in quenching the apostolic thrust of the
Holy
Spirit, His presence was
forbidden
the
churches and those whom identified and
walked in His power were
persecuted.
Over
the
centuries, the message of the Kingdom had been lost
and so infused with false doctrines and
stifling governances great division and schisms in
the Church eventually leading to the advent
of denominational propagation. The Church is
now restructured into organizational dynasties
instead of the living organism of the Body of
Christ... His
One Holy Apostolic Church.
Today, God is reforming and restoring His Holy
Nation,
Zion, to succeed in its global mission
to conquer the kingdom of darkness and
disciple the nations
of the
world. We are charged
by the Lord to revive the work of God, and to
restore the
foundations of
the Kingdom of Light
laid by our King and His 1st century Apostolic Teams so that the nations
will come to the Light
of the Church's glory.
We are to have a witness of apostolic
power in our lives as a testimony of His marvelous
Light! As the Church walks with apostolic power,
the nations shall come to the Light of the
Church's rising and the glory of the Lord shall fill the
earth as the waters cover the seas.
Isaiah
60:3 RSV
And nations shall
come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your rising.
Habakkuk 2:14 AMP
But [the time is
coming when] the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory
of the
Lord as the waters cover the sea.
Apostolic and
Prophetic
applications of the ministry of revelation and the works of the Holy
Spirit...
"In the fullness of the Spirit and anointed with the
Charismatic
gifts of the Spirit, God's 21st
century apostolic army shall Go Forth and
demonstrate by great signs and exploits that God
is still God! They will dispel the forces of
darkness
out of the
minds and out of the
hearts of
the devil's captives. They will deliver God's people
from bondage by
liberating them
from
seducing and deceiving spirits of false doctrine,
traditions,
all forms
of religious
errors, as well
as
from fear, hate, resentment, and spiritual pride and
delusions. All
of
these have kept the
Body of Christ divided! This 21st century apostolic army
are
commissioned and
empowered
to deliver the oppressed... break bondages of every
yoke of
despair... and set
the captives
free!
They are destined to reclaim cities and nations to fill
the earth with
the glory of
the Lord!"
Do
you
hear
what
the Spirit has to say to the Church? Are
you willing to Pray... Plan...
Prepare... and Pursue? It will bless you
mightily as you
lay up treasures in heaven where moths
and rust cannot destroy them. These treasures are the
spiritual blessings of the Holy Spirit.

=====================================
In the Scripture of Luke
23: 42
above, the thief asks the Lord to remember him when He
comes into His Kingly glory. It is by
believing that
Jesus of
Nazareth is the King of the Jews
and the Son of God that demonstrates the ultimate
and absolute
power of faith!
Faith does not come to us full grown. Our hearts
and minds
must be fed on the Word of God.
Faith is a "fruit of the Spirit." As a fruit,
it must grow
to
maturity! Sadly, few Christians today
personally feed upon the Word of God.
Few Christians today are filled with the Holy Spirit as
evidenced by speaking in tongues the experience
of
the
Pentecost anointing... nor do
they desire it.
If you hunger and thirst for the divine gifts of God, He will give to
those who
obey Him, who will earnestly seek
His
ways
and
ask
Him for more of the Holy Spirit!
The 1st century church was apostolic because they
believed and
relied on the anointing
presence of the Holy Spirit and knew that His anointing
was only
distributed through those
whom were diligently seeking
His
sign
of
anointing... which is the
gift of tongues.
The charismatic gifts and offices as well as the
experience of
the baptism of the Holy
Spirit
continued uninterrupted in the Church for 300 hundred
years
until worldliness and unbelief
entered in causing them to greatly diminish as we have
discussed
in this letter. ( see Eusebius'
Ecclesiastical
History)
When
the Church lost the experience of the baptism of the Holy Ghost,
she
also forfeited the
charismatic Gifts of Revelation.
The Holy Spirit transmits the ministry of revelation
through
illumination
and spiritual
enlightenment of the Word of God as well as the "word of
wisdom" and the "word
of
knowledge." Without the presence of the Holy Spirit
working in the midst of
the Church,
men
changed God's theology to fit their experience... the experience is now
religious,
without the Holy Spirit, based on intellectualism
and
humanism. Unscriptural doctrines are
taught as the "word of
religious and political leaders," many times being the one and same
individual. Doctrines
such as "all revelation ceased' with the first apostles of the Lamb are
popular and widely taught by
the contemporary church.
God is not a man that He should lie! There is not
one
fragment of Scripture to give evidence
to such a doctrine. The theological position
cannot be
supported! On the contrary, the
Scriptures clearly state that revelation is to
continue.
Since all revelation is in the Holy Spirit,
then the Church at large has been deceived. In
its current
form of estimated 36,000+
denominations and institutions, she is in serious
error.
Without
the Spirit of
revelation in the midst of believers of Jesus Christ, the Church has...
•
Closed
its
doors
so
that
the Holy Spirit cannot speak directly to her.
•
Adopted
the
world's
philosophy
concerning the manner in which truth
and knowledge
are acquired.
Where does this position the contemporary Church for
the great
commission to reach and
teach... to train and equip disciples?
Answer: Any new so called "truth," 'insight," "knowledge,"
or "understanding" must come from
the quest of "mediums" of theological, secular
education, the
occult and divination spiritualists,
or, it must come through scientific
research and philosophical intellectualism and hypothesis.
Physical sciences do provide "truth's" about the
temporal world
within we live. However, they
do not provide answers to revelation of God's plans
and guidance
for
the Church.
The church has denied the eternal power and glory of
the Risen
Lord. In
its demise,
it has lost all relationship
and sensitivity to the will
and working
of an Eternal Living God
working through the presence of the Holy Spirit in the
daily
affairs of the
lives of mankind.
The Church's theology has
been reduced to a level of secular science that bases its
foundations on
discovery, totally denying the power of God and the foundation of the
Faith
that Jesus, Son of God, taught...
Faith is as it has always
been, a Religion of
Revelation!
As we progress in the websites of The Prophetic
Voice and The
City of
Lights Community,
our very core of apostolic teaching is based on a
God who lives and
demonstrates His
presence in the midst of His
people! Our message is alive and points you to the very source
of
all Revelation...
The Revelation
of Light... the revelation of who Jesus
Christ is and
what His purposes are for the
Church and each living soul!

The

and life changing!
When He “pours out” He creates
apostolic results:
miracles,
signs and wonders. Invasions of
His work of repentance, and
spiritual gifts are manifest and dynamically changed lives result!
Let’s get
a full understanding of apostolic order and foundation...
The
sending actions of God to establish the Kingdom of Heaven over the
whole earth
through Christ’s
ascension
gifts
to
the
church of apostles,
prophets, evangelists,
pastors, and teachers.
These gifts of men set
in order the House of the Lord to build on that which was
entrusted to
the apostles and prophets of
the 1st century church to expand
the
Kingdom of God by bringing all nations under Christ’s reign. Through
the apostolic
functions of the church, the Body receives access to
supernatural power.
Through this authority and power in action,
the supernatural design and works of the
ministry of the Church
as led by the Holy Spirit accomplishes the mission to establish
one
holy universal church of God
that ushers in the return of Christ!
May His
Kingdom be fully manifest in earth, may the apostolic order of the
church
emerge in divine connection! May the knowledge
of the glory of the Lord continue
to flow over the
whole earth, as the supernatural design
forThe
Church liberates
God's apostolic messengers, His anointed!
