"If
the church is to be
restored and succeed
in its mission to
disciple nations,
and fill
the earth with His
glory, then true
apostles must rise up
and take
responsibility for the
work of God in the
earth.
If we are
going to see apostolic
government restored to
the church,
and see
the Church succeed in
its mission, then the
church must receive
those
whom the Lord sends to
it."

Apostolic defined:
greek,
apostolos...ACT of
SENDING:
"apostle,"
“ambassador,”
“messenger,”
"forerunner."
"vanguard,"
"delegate,"
"envoy," "company"
"entrusted one," “one
who represents the
sender.”
Paul
writes to the
Corinthians and
expresses that they
are the “products
and
proof” of his
workmanship in the
Lord. They had
become the seal
(certificate, the
living evidence) of
his apostleship in the
Lord--- confirming
and
authenticating it.
Also,
note that in Titus
1:1-3,
Paul
conveys the specific
manner of apostleship…
“And (now) in HIS
(Christ's) own
appointed time HE
has made manifest
(made
known) HIS WORD and
revealed it as HIS
MESSAGE through
preaching
entrusted to me
(Paul) by command of
God our Saviour…
the
Lord Jesus Christ
our Saviour.
Other
apostolic functions
are discussed by Paul
as follows:
2
Corinthians 12:1
AMP)
True,
there is nothing to
be gained by it, but
[as I am obliged] to
boast,
I will
go on to visions and
revelations of the
Lord.
2
Corinthians 12:12
(AMP)
Indeed,
the signs that
indicate a [genuine]
apostle were
performed among you
fully
and most patiently
in miracles and
wonders and mighty
works
Kingdom
Konnections are the
Functioning Gifts of
Power Ministries
given
to the
Church to Do the
Works of the
Ministry of Building
the Kingdom
in the
earth! Ephesians
4:11 (paraphrased) =
[the
"function" gifts of
Christ given to men
(non-gender).
And His
gifts were [varied;
He Himself appointed
and gave men to us]
some to
be apostles (special
messengers,
forerunners,
vanguards),
some
prophets (inspired
preachers and
interpreters),
some
evangelists
(traveling
missionaries
preaching the
Gospel),
some
shepherds
(pastors/overseers
of His flock)
and
teachers
(instructors to
impart knowledge by
precept,
example
or experience).
When
leaders of ministry
visions, commit
themselves to
work in unity
through
relational fellowship, they
can be divinely equipped
for
the
purposes
of Christ's
Vision of
doing GREATER WORKS.
(Building the Kingdom!)
John
14:12 NKJV
"Most assuredly, I say
to you, he who
believes in Me,
the works
that I do he will do
also;
and greater works
than these
he
will do, because I
go to My Father."
Jesus
came to DO the Works
of the
Ministry!
He has released
His
Followers to
also DO the Works
of the
Ministry!
In
so Doing, He
Gave His
"anointing"
Gifts of
Function to
accomplish
the
WORKS!
(Anointing =
Power of
God)
(Transferable
through
Impartation
of
the Holy Spirit
by Divine Act of
"Laying on of
Hands.")
The
following are
the assignments
of Jesus when
sent to earth:
1.
Proclaim and
Demonstrate the
Kingdom to
Reveal God, the
Father,
Son and Holy
Ghost
(Apostolic-Prophetic
Works)
2.
Bring mankind
into
conciliatory
Peace and Unity
with God though
His Life, Work
and sacrifice on
the
Cross.
(Apostolic-Prophetic
Works)
3.
Heal the
sick
(Apostolic-Prophetic
Works)
4.
Destroy the
works of the
devil.
(Apostolc-Prophetic
Works)
Advancing the
Kingdom of Heaven
[Note: Christ
inaugurated the
Kingdom of God in
the earth.
He
proclaimed it, He
demonstrated it
and He trained men
how
to
BUILD IT to reach
All Nations of the
Globe!]
He
commissioned His
chosen eye-witness
forerunners to
build
the
Kingdom!
Believers were
assembled into the
One Holy Apostolic
Church
built
upon Jesus Christ,
the Chief
Cornerstone and
His
apostolic-prophetic
ministries in
compliance to His
mandate.
Acts
1:8 (AMP)
But
you shall receive
power (ability,
efficiency, and
might)
when
the Holy Spirit
has come upon you,
and you shall be
My
witnesses in
Jerusalem and all
Judea and Samaria
and
to the ends (the
very bounds) of
the earth.!
On
the Day of
Pentecost He
empowered them
with the power of
God.
John
the Baptist,
declared that
power: the Baptism
of the Holy Ghost
and
Fire! The
3rd Person of the
Blessed Holy
Trinity was sent,
manifest as
tongues of Fire
upon each of 120
followers waiting
in one
accord for the
"Promise of the
Holy Spirit!
Let
us examine three
biblical passages
to confirm these
statements:
Matthew 3:11
(AMP)
I
indeed baptize
you in (with)
water because of
repentance
[that is,
because of your
changing your
minds for the
better,
heartily
amending your
ways, with
abhorrence of
your past sins].
But
He Who is coming
after me is
mightier than I,
Whose sandals I
am not worthy or
fit to take off
or carry;
He
will baptize you
with the Holy
Spirit and with
fire.
John
16:13-17,
(AMP)
13
But when He, the
Spirit of Truth
(the
Truth-giving
Spirit) comes,
He
will guide you
into all the
Truth (the
whole, full
Truth).
For
He will not
speak His own
message [on His
own authority];
but
He will tell
whatever He
hears [from the
Father;
He
will give the
message that has
been given to
Him],
and
He will announce
and declare to
you the things
that are to come
[that will
happen in the
future].
14
He will honor
and glorify Me,
because He will
take of
(receive, draw
upon)
what is Mine and
will reveal
(declare,
disclose,
transmit) it to
you.
15
Everything that
the Father has
is Mine.
That is what I
meant when I
said that
He [the Spirit]
will take the
things
that are Mine
and will reveal
(declare,
disclose,
transmit) it to
you.
16
In a little
while you will
no longer see
Me,
and
again after a
short while you
will see Me.
17
So some of His
disciples
questioned among
themselves,
What does He
mean when He
tells us, In a
little while you
will no longer
see
Me, and again
after a short
while you will
see Me, and,
Because I go to
My Father?
Jesus replies:
John 16:26-28
(AMP)
26
At that time you
will ask (pray)
in My Name;
and
I am not saying
that I will ask
the Father on
your behalf
[for it will be
unnecessary].
27
For the Father
Himself
[tenderly] loves
you because you
have loved Me
and have
believed that I
came out from
the Father.
28
I came out from
the Father and
have come into
the world;
again, I am
leaving the
world and going
to the Father.
Yet, Jesus said "after a short while you will see me.
He reveals HOW
His followers
will "SEE"
Him!
The Persons of
the ONE
Blessed God...
the Holy
Trinity....
have the
essence
(substance/nature)
of ONE...
They are
Co-Equal...Co-Existent...Co-Eternal.
John 16:15
15 Everything
that the
Father has is
Mine.
That is what I
meant when I
said that He
[the Spirit]
will take the
things
that are Mine
and will
reveal
(declare,
disclose,
transmit) it
to you.
Paul uses the
same "essence"
in addressing
his followers
as Jesus
did in
explaining to
His followers
about the
spirit world!
God is SPIRIT
and TRUTH!
Colossians
2:5-10 (AMP)
5 For
though I am
away from you
in body, yet I
am with you in
spirit,
delighted at the
sight of your
[standing
shoulder to
shoulder in
such]
orderly array
and the firmness
and the solid
front and
steadfastness
of
your faith in
Christ [that
leaning of the
entire human
personality
on
Him in absolute
trust and
confidence in
His power,
wisdom,
and
goodness].
6
As you have
therefore
received Christ,
[even] Jesus the
Lord,
[so] walk
(regulate your
lives and
conduct
yourselves) in
union
with and
conformity to
Him.
7
Have the roots
[of your being]
firmly and
deeply planted
[in Him,
fixed and
founded in Him],
being
continually
built up in Him,
becoming
increasingly
more confirmed
and established
in the faith,
just as you were
taught, and
abounding and
overflowing in
it
with
thanksgiving.
Let us once again acknowledge:
The Persons of
the ONE
Blessed God...
the Holy
Trinity....
have the
essence of ONE
as
Co-Equal...Co-Existent...Co-Eternal.
The Spirit
form is
the essence,
the substance,
the nature of
the Godhead!
The PROMISE of
the Holy Ghost
was sent to
RE-PRESENT
Christ!
Jesus the Son
of God and son
of man could
not
personally
(in human
form) present
and
demonstrate to
every person
on the earth
the Kingdom of
God!
Also, Father
God sent Him
to the Jews.
Christ in the
form of
confronted and
Light blinded
Saul of Tarsus
as he was on
the way to
Damascus to
persecute
Christ's
followers.
Saul's name
was changed to
Paul. He was
commissioned
by Baptism
of the Holy
Ghost and
prophetically
declared to
evangelize the
Gentiles
[Note: 'Read'
the account of
of Saul's
transformation
from a
non-believer
and persecutor
to a New
Creature in
Christ and his
assignment...
Acts 9:1-20].
Only in SPIRIT
could Jesus
manifest to
every spirit,
soul and body!
John 4:24 (AMP)
God is a
Spirit (a
spiritual
Being) and
those who
worship Him
must worship
Him in spirit
and in truth
(reality).
When we 'see' Jesus, we 'see' the Father! For the
Son and the
Father
are One in
Will, Plan and
Purpose.
We Fellowship
and Communion
with the
Godhead Bodily
in 'spirit and
truth'!
Colossians
2:9-10 (AMP)
9
For in Him the
whole fullness
of Deity (the
Godhead)
continues to
dwell
in
bodily form
[giving complete
expression of
the divine
nature].
10
And you are in
Him, made full
and having come
to fullness of
life
[in
Christ you too
are filled with
the
Godhead—Father,
Son and Holy
Spirit—
and
reach full
spiritual
stature]. And He
is the Head of
all rule and
authority
[of
every angelic
principality and
power].
John 3:3 (AMP)
Jesus answered
him, I assure
you, most
solemnly I tell
you,
that unless a
person is born
again (anew,
from above),
he
cannot ever see
(know, be
acquainted with,
and
experience) the
kingdom of God.
2
Corinthians
3:16-17 (AMP)
16
But whenever a
person turns [in
repentance] to
the Lord,
the
veil is stripped
off and taken
away.
17
Now the Lord is
the Spirit, and
where the Spirit
of the Lord is,
there is liberty
(emancipation
from bondage,
freedom).
The
ministries working
in unison in the
internet online
ministry
of
thepropheticvoice.com
present a clear
scriptural
understanding
based
on Christ's
teachings of the
Kingdom of God.
With
hearts and minds
set to do great
exploits (Build
the Kingdom)
in
participating
nations, we share
the wonderful
Living Trinity of
God
whom
we adore, worship,
and follow.
[Note: see "The
Prophetic Voice
Home Page" in Inner
Chambers
Directory]
When
we understand the
Fullness of God,
we are better able
to 'see'
and
act upon God as
revealed by and in
the manifest Son
of God!
He is
the WORD sent from
heaven to abide in
us in both the
"logos"...
the
record of the Old
and the New
Testaments and the
"pneuma"...
the
Holy Spirit.
Exodus
3:14 Amplified
Bible (AMP)
And
God said to
Moses, I Am Who
I Am and What I
Am,
and
I Will Be What I
Will Be;
and
He said, You
shall say this
to the
Israelites:
I
Am has sent me
to you!
("sent": denotes
Divine apostolic
action)
To
KNOW God we must
have Knowledge
of the apostolic
and
prophetic
realms!
I AM,
in all His
Glory... three
Persons in One
Living God is
experiential...
in
love, judgement,
mercy, grace and
righteousness.
The
Persons of the ONE
Blessed God... the
Holy Trinity....
have
the essence of ONE
as
Co-Equal...Co-Existent...Co-Eternal.
● Omnipresent
(present
everywhere),
● Omnipotent (have
absolute power and
authority),
● Omniscient
(knowing
everything).
God
is ONE in
Will, Plan and
Purpose.
● God the Trinity
is Wise, Skillful
and the Author of
All Things!
● God the Trinity
can be heard, seen
and touched!
● God the Trinity
is the Source of
Wisdom, Knowledge
and Glory!
[Note: see "The
Blessed Holy
Trinity" link in Inner
Chambers
Directory.
With
unity of purpose,
the
guidance and
communion of the
Holy Spirit,
and
the commitment to
build
interpersonal
relationships
exponentially,
we
believe a true
spiritual
awareness of the
Divine Light of
Christ can
positively impact
life changes in
individuals,
families, churches
and
eventually,
governments on
earth.
[Ephesians 2:6-7;
2:20-22; 3:19-21;
4:12-13 AMP]
When
we come into unity
of purpose to pray
for the nations
and to raise
up
leaders, our lives
and ministries
become a physical
and spiritual
reality
of
Christ's Truth!
Psalm
119:130
(AMP)
The
entrance and
unfolding of
Your words give
light; their
unfolding gives
understanding
(discernment and
comprehension)
to the simple.
It is the
church, the instrument of
the Kingdom, that Christ
charges
to do Greater
Works! Paul, a
forerunner, (an apostle, a
vanguard...
a sent forth
messenger with divinely
special message), depicts
the Body
of Christ as
the living viable working
parts of Christ's stature.
The Bodily
Form, the Stature of
Christ is SPIRIT!
1 Corinthians
12:27 (AMP)
Now you
[collectively] are
Christ’s body and
[individually]
you are
members of it, each part
severally and distinct
[each with
his own place and
function].
Ephesians
5:30 (AMP)
Because we
are members (parts) of His
body..
"Just
as the human heart
beats, receives and
releases the flow of
life
in the
blood... the
heartbeat of the Kingdom
and God's Church receives
the Life
flow of the Sacrificial
Blood of Jesus Christ,
Son of God " in which
is Life
eternal and power.
That life is the Light
to the World of which we
are
made
partakers and fellow
workers.
Since 1991, the Lord has
placed a desire within my
spirit to seek out others
who would
come together
in the spirit of unity to do
the effective work of our
callings.
Since, 2001, I have been
studying the works of men
involved in the
current
apostolic move to bring a
full revelation to the power
in relationship
building among
the ascension-gift 5-fold
functions to equip the
saints both in
local
allotments and in the larger
body of the church."

Life is
in the blood.
[Lev. 17:11]
In physical realities, the
blood flows through the
heart, arteries, veins,
and
capillaries
transporting the
essentials to build and
generate life.
So, too, in spiritual
realities, the
Blood of Christ flows as
life, the New Wine
of the Holy Ghost,
to all the parts and
members of the Body of
Christ to
Build
and generate the
instrument of the Kingdom,
the Church, into the
Stature
of
Jesus
Christ, the "Perfect
Man"... the Divine Head
and Body functioning
in divine
harmony.
In
Him was Life, and
the Life was the
Light of men.
[John 1:4
AMP]
The
Kingdom of Heaven has a
King and His nature is
Spiritual Light:
The Light of Truth
The
Light of Life
The Light of the Spirit
We receive the Nature of
the King so that we may
teach and demonstrate
His Nature and His Kingdom
of Heaven to the
world. [ref, John
3:16-17]
The Kingdom of
Heaven is the Abundant
Life. [ref, John
10:10]
The abundance is in
the Holy
Ghost…Righteousness,
Peace, and Joy.
[ref, Romans 14:17]
Kingdom Konnections are
driven by:
► Covenant
Relationships
► Apostolic
Leadership
Let our
survey of the Lord's work
within the scope of the
ministry
entrusted in this
digital teaching form at
www.thepropheticvoice.com
be the work of
the anointing and inspiration
of the Word of God
and the
indwelling of the Holy Spirit.
As released to the global
online
community, may
the work open the doors of the
spiritually hungry
and thirsty and
lead into realms of knowledge
of the Glory of God
for deeper
understanding, enlightenment
and spiritual illumination.
It is important
that we look at the
application of spiritual
strategies
in full detail,
for the Lord charged us to
"consider the costs."
Luke 14:27-28
AMP
Whoever does not
persevere and carry his own
cross and come after (follow)
Me cannot be My
disciple.
28 For which of
you, wishing to build a farm
building, does not first sit
down and calculate
the cost [to see] whether he has
sufficient
means to finish it?
Team work
demands by divine order that
we Pray, Plan, Prepare
and then Pursue.
These attributes serve as a
constant reminder
of the "steps" to
take as we move in Kingdom
ministry.
Anytime any of
these are exercised out of
order, we do not experience
the full fruit of
our labor. We must find and
realize the wisdom of God
in His Word, to
reveal His plan for our
missions and work within the
divine "pattern
of the Son" to achieve them.
Acts 20:32
AMP
And now [brethren],
I commit you to God [I deposit
you in His charge,
entrusting you to
His protection and care]. And I
commend you to the
Word of His grace
[to the commands and counsels
and promises
of His unmerited
favor]. It is able to build you
up and to give you
[your rightful]
inheritance among all God's
set-apart ones (those
consecrated,
purified, and transformed of
soul).
The Holy
Spirit is drawing together the
hearts of men and women
of like precious
faith and the ministries to
which they have been
commended around
the Globe.
Heart of God
Ministries International
(HGMI) is but one of the
ministries
of "communion"
that God has raised up in this
hour and season.
In that God looks
upon the whole and sets in
place His diverse ministries,
HGMI is unique in
its divine origin and
function.
Participating in
Apostolic-Prophetic
Fellowship, is the key to
reaching
mature growth and
transforming cities and
nations as guided by those
with the heart
and prayer of Jabez:
1 Chronicles
4:10 AMP
Jabez cried to the
God of Israel, saying, Oh, that
You would bless me
and enlarge my
border, and that Your hand might
be with me, and
You would keep me
from evil so it might not hurt
me!
And God granted his
request..
The Lord has
initiated these ministries by
visions and is commissioning
them to fulfill
the scope of visions for the
Knowledge of the Glory
of God to cover
the earth as the waters cover
the seas.
[Note: it is not
just one vision that has been
ordained and
released to the
effectual working of the power
and administration
of the Holy
Ghost.
It is, however,
by divine connection working
in love as ministries
are submitted to
one another in fellowship,
that the ultimate goal
and purpose of
God is accomplished...
"the Knowledge of
the Glory of God to cover the
earth!"
(ref, Habakkuk
2:14)
The Lord has
called us to a higher level of
commitment with
each other united
in Him. He has ordained that
His Church
become the
manifest expression of His
Glory to fill the earth.
With pure hearts,
we seek those called in unity
of purpose
to fulfill the
Great Plan of the King!
The One who
called, also commissions each
to work in cooperation
to build the
kingdom of God in cities,
regions and nations.
His purpose is to
bring revival and restoration
through His Church
to reach the
lost, hurt, broken of spirit,
wayward and lawless,
and the diseased
into His glory.
Ephesians
4:16 AMP
16 For because of
Him the whole body (the church,
in all its various
parts), closely joined and
firmly knit together
by the joints and
ligaments with which it is
supplied,
when each part
[with power adapted to its need]
is working properly
[in all its
functions], grows to full
maturity, building itself up in
love.
Please revisit
Acts 20:32 cited above:
"I commend you to
the Word of His grace [to the
commands
and counsels and
promises of His unmerited
favor]."
We observe
Paul functioning as a
sensitive, caring "mentor"
(overseer and
encourager) who desires the
ultimate blessings
of God upon those
with whom he is addressing.
In working as a
Team there is no Big "I's" and
Little "you's."
Paul is
speaking his concern (tending,
guarding, keeping) for those
with whom God has
given him to work. Apostolic
companies were sent
out to all parts
of the world. Generally there
were two or more sent..
There were
appointed leaders whom led by
example and by commendation
of the Word of
His grace which directed the
focus of the Team looking
to the Lordship
and love of Jesus Christ.
They were not
sent by the commands of do's
and don't
but by the
leading of the Holy
Ghost.
In true Holy
Spirit led Teams, divine
counsel and divine favor
are the order of
the Lord.
Shall we examine
two kinds of spiritual
facilitators
in building
relationships?
Domineering "mentors"
1. Have you searched,
submitted and committed to
apostolic spiritual
cover only to be wounded and
bruised by a "dominating
mentor?"
• Those who
function as if they are the
source of guidance for
people's lives?
• Those who
emphasis the rights of Leaders
and set them apart
from the body with titles,
lofty placements and
positions.
• Those seeking
to control people's actions
through impatience,
excessive rules and demands of
accountability, and work
loads,
to control others...with
overbearing and unrealistic
demand
to "conform to a unity."
Sensitive, Caring
"mentors"
2. What should a
spiritual relationship (mentor
& disciple)... yield?
• Emphasis
on the Word of God (Christ)
and the Holy Spirit
as the source of guidance.
• Emphasis
on leadership development as
servanthood...
the body of Christ is to serve
one another and love one
another.
• Emphasis
on equipping for the work of
the ministry...
working in an atmosphere of
mutual trust, grace, love and
respect
to encourage growth and
exercise the "pattern of the
Son"
to accomplish objectives and
missions.
Note: sensitive and caring
does not interpret as liberal
or weak attributes.
God is a consuming Fire! He,
the Holy Ghost, is also the
Comforter
(Counselor, Helper, Advocate,
Intercessor, Strengthener,
Standby)
[ref, John 16:7 AMP]
It is Jesus
Christ who sends the Holy
Ghost as the baptizer of Fire!
He is the
"winnowing fire" sent to
convict all of sin and purge
all
unrighteousness.
=============================================
Study
of Covenant
Covenant
(Hebrew "berit"): meaning
league; confederacy."
This word is
most probably derived from
an Akkadian root meaning
"to fetter";
it has
parallels in Hittite,
Egyptian, Assyrian, and
Aramaic.
Berit is used
over 280 times and in all
parts of the Old
Testament.
The first
occurrence of the word is
Genesis 6:18
(AMP)
18 But I will
establish My covenant
(promise, pledge) with you,
and you shall
come into the ark—you and
your sons and your wife
and your sons’
wives with you.
God established
the Old Covenant and the New
Covenant!
(In Both
Covenants, God's PEACE is a
"Treaty of Promise" based on
His
conditions (His
commandments)... There is No
room for negotiation.
2 Chronicles
7:14 (AMP)
If My people,
who are called by My name,
shall humble themselves,
pray, seek,
crave, and require of
necessity My face and turn
from
their wicked
ways, then will I hear from
heaven, forgive their sin,
and heal their
land
Acts 2:38 (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.

for a
comprehensive study of "in
the Name."
The KJV
translates berit
fifteen times as "league":
"...now
therefore make ye a league
with us" Josh 9:6.
These are all
cases of political
agreement within Israel 2
Sam 3:12-13,21; 5:3
or between
nations 1 Kings 15:19.
Later
versions may use
"covenant," "treaty," or
"compact," but not
consistently.
In Judges
2:2, the KJV has: "And ye
shall make no league with
the inhabitants
of this
land...."
The command
had been also given in Ex
23:32; 34:12-16; and Deut
7:2-6,
where the KJV
has "covenant."
The KJV
translates berit
as "covenant" 260 times.
The word is
used of "agreements
between men," as Abraham
and
Abimelech Gen
21:32: "Thus they made a
covenant at
Beer-sheba...."
David and
Jonathan made a "covenant"
of mutual protection that
would be binding
on David's
descendants forever 1 Sam
18:3; 20:8,16-18,42.
In these
cases, there was "mutual
agreement confirmed by
oath
in the name
of the Lord."
Sometimes
there were also material
pledges Gen 21:28-31.
Ahab defeated
the Syrians: "So he made a
covenant with [Ben-hadad],
and sent him
away" 1 Kings 20:34.
The king of
Babylon "took of the
king's seed [Zedekiah],
and made a covenant
with him, and
hath taken an oath of
him..." Ezek 17:13, NIV,
"treaty".
In such
"covenants," the terms
were imposed by the
superior military power;
they were not
mutual agreements.
In Israel,
the kingship was based on
"covenant":
"...David
made a covenant [KJV,
"league"] with them [the
elders of Israel]
in Hebron
before the Lord..."
2 Sam 5:3.
The
"covenant" was based on
their knowledge that God
had appointed him
2 Sam 5:2;
thus they became David's
subjects (cf. 2 Kings
11:4,17).
The great
majority of occurrences of
berit are of God's
"covenants" with men,
as in Gen
6:18. The
verbs used are important:
"I will
establish my covenant" Gen
6:18-- literally, "cause
to stand" or "confirm."
"I will make
my covenant" Gen 17:2,
Revised Standard Version.
"He declared
to you his covenant" Deut
4:13.
"My covenant
which I commanded them..."
Josh 7:11.
"I have
remembered my covenant.
Wherefore... I will bring
you out from under
the
burdens of the Egyptians"
Ex 6:5-6.
God
will not reject Israel for
their disobedience so as
"to destroy them utterly,
and to
break my covenant with
them..." Lev 26:44.
"He will
not... forget the
covenant... which he sware
unto them" Deut 4:31.
The most
common verb is "to cut [karat]
a covenant," which is
always translated
as in Gen
15:18:"The Lord made a
covenant with Abram."
This use
apparently comes from the
ceremony described in Gen
15:9-17
(cf. Jer
34:18), in which God
appeared as "a smoking
furnace, and a burning
lamp
[flaming
torch] that passed between
those pieces" Gen
15:17.
These verbs
make it plain that God
takes the sole initiative
in covenant making
and
fulfillment.

COVENANT (NOUN AND VERB)
A.
Noun.
diatheke
NT:1242 primarily
signifies "a disposition
of property by will
or
otherwise." In its use in
the Septuagint, it is the
rendering of a Hebrew
word meaning
a "covenant" or agreement
(from a verb signifying
"to cut or
divide," in allusion to a
sacrificial custom in
connection with
"covenant-making," e.g.,
Gen 15:10, "divided" Jer
34:18-19).
In
contradistinction to the
English word "covenant"
(literally, "a coming
together"), which
signifies a mutual
undertaking
between
two parties or more, each
binding himself to fulfill
obligations,
it does
not in itself contain the
idea of joint obligation,
it mostly signifies
an
obligation undertaken by a
single person.
For
instance, in Gal 3:17 it
is used as an alternative
to a "promise" vv.
16,17,18.
God
enjoined upon Abraham the
rite of circumcision, but
His promise
to
Abraham, here called a
"covenant," was not
conditional upon the
observance
of
circumcision, though a
penalty was attached to
its non-observance.

relationship"
in which the
individual or entity
wishing "covenant" has
freedom to utilize
the many
services offered within
its web pages.
The
obligation of covenant is
wholly upon those seeking
understanding
of the
foundations of

The New
Testament use of the
word "covenant" may be
analyzed as follows:
(a) a promise
or undertaking, human or
divine, Gal 3:15;
(b) a promise
or undertaking on the part
of God,
Luke 1:72; Acts 3:25; Rom
9:4; 11:27; Gal 3:17;
Eph 2:12; Heb
7:22;8:6,8,10; 10:16;
(c) an
agreement, a mutual
undertaking, between God
and Israel, see
Deut 29-30 (described as a
'commandment,' Heb 7:18,
cf. v. 22); Heb 8:9; 9:20;
(d) the token
of the covenant, or
promise, made to Abraham,
Acts 7:8,
(e) the
record of the covenant, 2
Cor 3:14; Heb 9:4; cf. Rev
11:19;
(f) the
basis, established by the
death of Christ, on which
the salvation of
men is secured, Matt
26:28; Mark 14:24; Luke
22:20; 1 Cor 11:25;
2 Cor 3:6; Heb 10:29;
12:24; 13:20.

Notes on Galatians, by
Hogg and Vine, p. 144].
B. Verb.
suntithemi
NT:4934, literally, to put
together," is used only in
the middle
voice in the
NT, and, means
"to
determine, agree," John
9:22 and Acts 23:20;
"to assent,"
Acts 24:9;
"to covenant,
Luke 22:5.
Note: In Matt
26:15 the KJV translates histemi,
"to place (in the

i.e., to
weigh, "they covenanted
with";

Acts
3:2-10 AMP
2[When] a certain man
crippled from his birth
was being carried along,
who
was laid each day at
that gate of the temple
[which is] called
Beautiful,
so
that he might beg for
charitable gifts from
those who entered the
temple.
3 So
when he saw Peter and
John about to go into
the temple, he asked
them
to
give him a gift.
4 And
Peter directed his gaze
intently at him, and so
did John, and said,
Look
at us!
5 And
[the man] paid attention
to them, expecting that
he was going to get
something from them.
6 But
Peter said, Silver and
gold (money) I do not
have; but what I do
have,
that
I give to you: in [the
use of] the name of
Jesus Christ of
Nazareth, walk!
7
Then he took hold of the
man's right hand with a
firm grip and raised him
up.
And
at once his feet and
ankle bones became
strong and steady,
8 And
leaping forth he stood
and began to walk, and
he went into the temple
with
them, walking and
leaping and praising
God.
9 And
all the people saw him
walking about and
praising God,
10
And they recognized him
as the man who usually
sat [begging] for alms
at
the Beautiful Gate of
the temple; and they
were filled with wonder
and
amazement (bewilderment,
consternation) over what
had occurred to him.
The
transfer of wealth for
ministry is manifest in
the transformation
of
people out of the kingdom
of darkness into Christ's
marvelous light!
The
redeem are to practice
faith in sowing into the
fertile ministry that
provides spiritual
nourishment and growth to
them. Not only are the
scriptures specific about
tithing, but also
encourage "seed planting."
A
ministry which is maturing
the redeemed by equipping
them for the "works
of the
ministry" to reach the
lost by the proclaiming
the Gospel by the Word
and
demonstrating the Kingdom
with endued power of the
Holy Ghost,
but, also,
by exercising faith and
praying for those sick and
spiritually bound.
Holy
Ghost moves in concert
with the redeemed walking
in accountability
to the
'Great Commission" of
Christ.
Ephesians
3:16-20 AMP
16
May He grant you out of
the rich treasury of His
glory to be strengthened
and
reinforced with mighty
power in the inner man
by the [Holy] Spirit
[Himself indwelling your
innermost being and
personality].
17
May Christ through your
faith [actually] dwell
(settle down, abide,
make
His permanent home) in
your hearts! May you be
rooted deep in love
and
founded securely on
love,
18
That you may have the
power and be strong to
apprehend and grasp
with
all the saints [God's
devoted people, the
experience of that love]
what
is the breadth and
length and height and
depth [of it];
19[That you may really
come] to know
[practically, through
experience
for
yourselves] the love of
Christ, which far
surpasses mere knowledge
[without experience];
that you may be filled
[through all your
being]
unto
all the fullness of God
[may have the richest
measure of the divine
Presence, and become a
body wholly filled and
flooded with God
Himself]!
20
Now to Him Who, by (in
consequence of) the
[action of His] power
that
is at work within us, is
able to [carry out His
purpose and] do
superabundantly, far
over and above all that
we [dare] ask or think
[infinitely beyond our
highest prayers,
desires, thoughts,
hopes, or dreams]--
As we
give our lives in
obedience to the voice of
the Lord and the "logos"
[written Word] our cities
and nations will become
Cities of Light...
Cities
of Blessings! Both Peter
and Paul show us how to
hear the
"voice
of the Lord! As we
hear Him (the Person Holy
Ghost), we must keep
our
focus in proper alignment.
(Consult the study of the
"The Blessed Holy Trinity"
Link, in Inner

We are to be
personally, individually
and corporately expectant.
The
highest order is to love
Him and commune with Him.

We take
joy in God the Holy Ghost
in His Divine Love and His
Divine works as
He release
signs, wonders and
miracles as His
demonstration of heaven
impacting earth!
John 17:13-26 AMP
13
And now I am coming to
You; I say these things
while I am still in the
world,
so that My
joy may be made full and
complete and perfect in
them [that they may
experience
My delight fulfilled in
them, that My enjoyment
may be perfected
in
their own souls, that
they may have My
gladness within them,
filling their hearts].
14 I
have given and delivered
to them Your word
(message) and the world
has
hated
them, because they are
not of the world [do not
belong to the world],
just as I
am not of the world.
15 I
do not ask that You will
take them out of the
world, but that You will
keep
and
protect them from the
evil one.
16
They are not of the
world (worldly,
belonging to the world),
[just] as I am not
of
the world.
17
Sanctify them [purify,
consecrate, separate
them for Yourself, make
them holy]
by
the Truth; Your Word is
Truth.
18
Just as You sent Me into
the world, I also have
sent them into the
world.
19
And so for their sake
and on their behalf I
sanctify (dedicate,
consecrate)
Myself, that they also
may be sanctified
(dedicated, consecrated,
made holy)
in
the Truth.
20
Neither for these alone
do I pray [it is not for
their sake only that I
make this
request], but also for
all those who will ever
come to believe in
(trust in, cling to,
rely
on) Me through their
word and teaching,
21
That they all may be
one, [just] as You,
Father, are in Me and I
in You,
that
they also may be one
in Us, so that the
world may believe and be
convinced
that
You have sent Me.
22 I
have given to them the
glory and honor which
You have given Me,
that
they may be one [even]
as We are one:
23 I
in them and You in Me,
in order that they may
become one and perfectly
united, that the world
may know and
[definitely] recognize
that You sent Me
and
that You have loved them
[even] as You have loved
Me.
24
Father, I desire that
they also whom You have
entrusted to Me
[as
Your gift to Me] may be
with Me where I am, so
that they may see My
glory,
which
You have given Me
[Your
love gift to Me]; for
You loved Me before the
foundation of the world.
25 O
just and righteous
Father, although the
world has not known You
and
has
failed to recognize You
and has never
acknowledged You, I have
known You
[continually]; and these
men understand and know
that You have sent Me.
26 I
have made Your Name
known to them and
revealed Your character
and
Your
very Self, and I will
continue to make [You]
known, that the love
which You
have
bestowed upon Me may be
in them [felt in their
hearts] and that I
[Myself]
may
be in them.
=======================================
Leadership
Leaders
are developed through the
Word of God and empowered
by
the
Person of the Holy Spirit.
The five fold ministry is
given by Christ
to
function as "gifts of men"
to the church... They are
the instrumentality
by
which the Body of Christ
is edified, equipped,
empowered and built up
to do
the Great works of
Expanding the Kingdom to
every nation, city,
village
The
ascension gift callings
are initiated by Christ.
Those
carrying His
ascension-gift callings
are recognized by the
fruit of the Spirit
and the
Gifts of the Spirit
working within them.
They are "driven" by the
Spirit
and
active in their callings
without the permission of
men.
Due to
the anointing of the Holy
Spirit upon and within
them, they may be found
seemingly
rebellious and
immature. However,
it is not rebellion but
commitment
and
dedication to the the
furthering the revelation
of the Kingdom that
"drives'
them in
their zeal.
It is
imperative that wise,
sensitive, caring "gifted
leaders" observe and take
time
and
energy to nurture and
counsel with these "gifts
of God" so that the Body
can be
both edified and
enlarged.
Ephesians
4:10-12 AMP
10 He
Who descended is the
[very] same as He Who
also has ascended
high
above all the heavens,
that He [His presence]
might fill all things
(the
whole universe, from the
lowest to the highest).
11
And His gifts were
[varied; He Himself
appointed and gave men
to us]
some
to be apostles (special
messengers), some
prophets (inspired
preachers
and
expounders), some
evangelists
(preachers of the
Gospel, traveling
missionaries), some
pastors (shepherds of
His flock) and teachers.
12
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),
(see:
"TEAM Leaders" Link in Inner
Chambers.
The
Blessing on the "work" is
Leadership!
Apostolic Leadership
The
sign that God is raising
something up is evidence
in the maturity
of His
Leaders!
We come
together to seek the will
of the Father and the Son
as we fellowship
via the
Holy Spirit and one
another.
See Blessings webpage.
The
Lord Jesus is the Light to
the world.
He has
made us lights, that we
might exponentially shine
forth His mercy and grace.
We recognize
the Body whose Headship is
the Lord Jesus Christ.
He is
building a mighty
spiritual army within the
villages, cities and
global nations
to
proclaim the glorious
reality of the Kingdom of
Heaven.
Fellowship (the apostolos)
is a relationship of inner
unity of purpose
among
leaders and believers,
which expresses itself in
working in and with
Christ
as we acknowledge and work
with one another to
accomplish God’s Will
on the
local, regional, national
and global fields of
souls.
Each
ministry has a part to
contribute to the
completed vision of the
Body
framed in
the image of Christ.
God
gives each of us Grace
that we are victorious in
His plan and design
for the
Calling.
Grace
results in New
Relationships and New
Identity for our lives and
all those
we are
called to serve.
Grace
extends great Peace and
Joy in righteous
relationships!
To build by
apostolic-prophetic
ministry to Impact a
"City"
requires
"TEAM" ministry!
God
wants us to come together
in unity of purpose!
God
wants us to help each
other take the Cities and
the Nations!
They
are our Inheritance!
When
ministries are united in
function, the Body of
Christ
is empowered
and edified!
Why did Jesus
Christ give the five fold
ministries of Ephesians
4:11?
Answer: He
just gave us the names of
the TEAM functions of whom
He gave
to the Church
to cooperate in His
purposes and accomplish
His will.
Again, may we
esteem that these are
FUNCTIONS operative as
"gifts" (non-gender)
•
Apostles- (special
messengers, fore runners,
vanguards)
•
Prophets- (interpreters,
inspired preachers and
expounders)
•
Evangelists- (preachers of
the Gospel, traveling

•
Shepherds
- (oveseers of His

Testament)
=======================================
Covenant Relationships
Shall
we examine deeper
understanding in the realm
of unity of Covenant
Relationship and
Leadership?
As we
have seen in the study
above, covenant is between
two entities,
It is a
decision between two... or
promise that puts two into
the same "league"
accountable to one another
to abide in unity of
agreement or purpose.
Covenant
Relationship is Not a
system of hierarchical
power structuring.
Each
individual shares in
divine skills and
abilities. Each is
to recognized
as to the
physical and spiritual
calling upon their
lives. One part does
not
flourish
without the whole working
in unison.
God cut
the ultimate covenant with
mankind.
Christ's blood was given
for the remission of our
sins ...
man's
rebellion and lawlessness
toward God.
The
Lord Jesus took care of
this work at the
Cross...we are made free
from
the Law of Sin and Death
and made righteous before
God through
the
blood of Christ which
gives us Life by the Law
of the Spirit.
(See
Romans Chapter 8)
God is
faithful to wash us clean
by His word, to regenerate
us and to renew
us
daily by His
Spirit! (ref.
Eph. 5:26; Titus
3:5)
Covenant means promise:
Psalm 89:34... God sets
the standard.
"My
covenant will I not
break, nor alter the
thing that is gone out
of My lips."
This
verse declares that God
will not break His word
with us.
He is
forever faithful to save,
heal and deliver all who
call upon His Name!
In the
New Covenant, the Name
above all names is JESUS,
Christ...
In the
'spirit of covenant,'
there are those who desire
to "partner"
with
each other. One
function of Heart of God
Ministries International
(HGMI)
is to
provide a ministry vehicle
(not a financial vehicle)
through which
connection and purpose to
reach communities and
raise up leaders to teach
the
nations about the Kingdom
of Heaven are
exercised. Our
webpages are
dedicated to the TRUTH of
the Scriptures.
They
teach the Revelation of
the Light of Christ that
partakers may grow
as
leaders and impact those
to whom they are sent.
In
communion, together, we
can accomplish great
exploits!
WE are
a ministry established to
provide counsel, truth and
encouragement

Our mission
commission is purely
spiritual like the
Covenants within the
Old

To us,
Covenant best
describes those special
people and ministries who
unite
(united
purposes and visions)
seeking with like precious
faith...
The
Great Commission...Doing
the Greater Works.

Our
purpose is to stand with
you in the encouragements
of the Word and
in assisting
through biblical counsel

allow the Lord
to move
miraculously in your lives
and ministry.

believe that in unity, we
can pray down the
strongholds over specific
cities
and aid
in the truth of Scriptures
and doctrines being
proclaimed in those
cities.
God
sets His army ranks in
place to effectually
accomplish the strategies
He has
purposed for each ministry
consecrated to Him.
Romans
8:28 AMP
28 We
are assured and know
that [God being a
partner in their labor]
all
things work together and
are [fitting into a
plan] for good to and
for those
who
love God and are called
according to [His]
design and purpose.
The
Lord has placed His
wisdom, grace and joy
within these special
ranks.
It is
divine privilege to walk
in covenant with others as
we receive God-given
gifts
of friendship from on
High. As parts and
members of Christ's Body,
each
part and member represents
His Family in many ways...
Some
parts are Traveling
ministries, Missions
ministries, Church plants,
Musical
ministries, Outreach
ministries, Evangelistic
ministries and many
more...
all are
unique to their calling.
In
Covenant in God, we each
are linked for a express
purpose (special sent
ones)
to
reach out to establish
God's Covenant within the
earth.
We
desire that each Covenant
Relationship continue in a
non-quenching thirst
for the
cleansing, equipping,
empowering fire of God and
be an influence
to
other ministries to join
in communion in Him as we
do likewise.
We
believe that operationally
in unity, we can ignite
the fire of evangelism
to a
Greater realm than any of
one of us can on our own!
Together we can impact
cities and nations with
the apostolic-prophetic
Word
and Spirit of God. unity
comes by dynamic
confirming working
Presence
of the
Holy Spirit through
Christ's divine unity.
In addition,
to the spiritual work and
the counseling support of
the HGMI web
ministry, those who are
seeking cover for their
ministries will find
assurance
in the
Revelation of the Light of
Jesus Christ!

=======================================
Father
God gave the Great
Commission to the Church
through His Son.
Ministries are personally
commissioned by Christ as
well.
Our
commission encompasses
strengthening ministries
with Holy Spirit
led
"mentoring" [edification,
encouragement,
exhortation] through
the
Word of God as inspired by
the special messages of
the Holy Ghost.
Leaders
must be empowered,
equipped and able to carry
the Kingdom Message
of the
Gospel of Jesus Christ to
the nations.
We all
need counsel, training and
friendship regardless of
age or experiences.
These
are provided in the
physical realms and the
spiritual realms in that
the
Ascension Gifts are men
(non-gender born again
mankind) given to the Body
as
functional Spirit immersed
ministries.
Word of
Knowledge
On June
9, 1979, a prophetic Word
was recorded as delivered
through
Charles
Capps in Anaheim,
California. The full
measure of it was planted
in my
heart and spirit. This
message has remained
alive!
Even
though it has been over 30
years, my daily
expectation still remains
strong
as we yearly experience
God's fulfillment!
(note;
read as given... read as
spiritual context...
heavenly and spiritual
wealth is
through divine
impartation...
transformation of the
spirit and the mind)
"I said
in My Word that I would
make the Jews
jealous.
In
these days there will
come forth
manifestations of
financial success
in
the lives of men that
set themselves to be
obedient to My Word and
give Me
what
I say to give. They will
be so successful in
areas until men will ask
them.
"How
is it that this came to
pass? How is it so that
it came to pass in a
short time?
And
they will say, 'Because
we were obedient to the
Word.'
They
will open and show to
them the Word of
God.
Men
will rise and began to
enter into it, and so
will they go, and it
will be so
through these means of
the hundredfold return
that multitudes
throughout
the
nations of the world
shall hear and see and
say,
'The times
are failing and our ways
in the days past have
failed and we are not
able
to make it. We
hear of the things that
are strange to our ears,
but tell us
and
teach us of these ways.'
And
it shall be so that they
will send for men of God
to teach them the ways
of
the Word. And it will
come throughout the
earth and shall sweep as
the
revival fire in the
early church. It shall
be beyond what men have
conceived
in
days past.
Ministries of finance
shall spring forth and
the knowledge of the
Lord
shall
grow in the earth until
all that is in the earth
shall be born into the
Kingdom
to
put forth the message of
the Gospel. It
should be financed in
these days
far
beyond what has ever
been done, for these
days are My days of My
Power
and
My Strength, and the
wealth of the sinner is
laid up for the
just.
So
watch Me filter it into
their hands, saith the
Lord."
Over
the years, I have
continued to inquire of
the Lord to understand
this
prophetic decree.
Most recently, He has
opened the "eyes of
understanding"
precisely
how the transfer of wealth
is to take place.
The
path is through apostolic
relationship! He has
decreed the Increase!
He has
given the KEYS to the
"Storehouse' to the
church, through the power
of the
Gospel of the Kingdom!
Mark
8:1-9 AMP
8:1 IN
THOSE days when [again]
an immense crowd had
gathered
and
they had nothing to eat,
Jesus called His
disciples to Him and
told them,
2 I
have pity and sympathy
for the people and My
heart goes out to them,
for
they have been with Me
now three days and have
nothing [left] to eat;
3 And
if I send them away to
their homes hungry, they
will be feeble through
exhaustion and faint
along the road; and some
of them have come a long
way.
4 And
His disciples replied to
Him, How can anyone fill
and satisfy [these
people]
with
loaves of bread here in
[this] desolate and
uninhabited region?
5 And
He asked them, How many
loaves have you? They
said, seven.
6 And
He commanded the
multitude to recline
upon the ground,
and
He [then] took the seven
loaves [of bread] and,
having given thanks,
He
broke them and kept on
giving them to His
disciples to put before
[the people],
and
they placed them before
the crowd.
7 And
they had a few small
fish; and when He had
praised God and given
thanks
and
asked Him to bless them
[to their use], He
ordered that these also
should
be
set before [them].
8 And
they ate and were
satisfied; and they took
up seven [large
provision]
baskets full of the
broken pieces left over.
9 And
there were about 4,000
people. And He dismissed
them,
The
Greater Works are to feed
the spiritually hungry and
the thirsty!
Again
the encouragement is to
read the prophetic decree
in the "spirit"
and not
in the "flesh." The
transfer of the "wealth of
the sinner" is harvested
through
the Cross! They are "laid
up" waiting to be the
harvest brought into
the
"storehouse" (the House of
God) as God converts,
provides discipleship
and
empowers each... hearts
are changed.
Understanding
(enlightenment) is
manifest and the New
Creature is made
ready to be
magnified in God's
Presence and to magnify
Him in thanksgiving
and praise!
In
Covenant, in Christ's Love
and in the love of one
another, all provision
abounds.
HGMI is
blessed to give that which
was manifest at the Gate
Beautiful of the Temple:
HGMI
Boasts in the Lord.
The "Bread of Life" is the
spiritual life!
The
anointing upon HGMI
ministry is to "reach" the
thirsty and hungry
by
proclaiming the LIGHT of
the WORD!
We
partner with you when you
partner with us in
apostolic fellowship
in the
Word declared and the
intimacy of the Holy
Ghost.
We
partner when we humbly
submit to Grace, Mercy and
the provisions of the
Light of
Truth in The Lord!
As we walk hand in hand
proclaiming
the
Kingdom Message,we have
fellowship with the
Father, the Son
and the
Holy Ghost as well as with
each other!
=======================================
Apostolic Ministry
HGMI as
an apostolic-prophetic
ministry whose hearts are
submitted to God
the
Father of our Lord Jesus
Christ. By the
administration of the Word
of God
and
Holy Spirit we purpose the
following:
To work to expand the
Kingdom of God, and serve
ministries in the Body of
Christ through the
Revelation of the Light of
Christ.
Our quest as believers in
the teachings of Christ
and as called to 5-fold
ministry,
empowers the resolve to
extend spiritual anointing
and connections with other
ministries who, too, by
voluntary actions wish to
work together to
accomplish
the Greater Works of
Christ's Great
Commission...
There are no contracts,
special commitments or
oaths to write or sight
between HGMI and those who
wish to partner in the
Lord's work
for the fulfillment of
waling together in the
Light of Truth, Light of
Life
and Light of the
Spirit. God is
faithful to cause increase
when there is unity
working in His Will, Plan,
and Purposes.
Zechariah
4:6 (AMP)
Then
he said to me, This
[addition of the bowl to
the candlestick,
causing it to yield a
ceaseless supply of oil
from the olive trees]
is
the word of the Lord to
Zerubbabel, saying,
Not
by might, nor by power,
but by My Spirit [of
Whom the oil is a
symbol],
says
the Lord of
hosts.
Ephesians 4:15-16
(AMP)
15
Rather, let our lives
lovingly express truth
[in all things, speaking
truly,
dealing truly, living
truly] Enfolded in love,
let us grow up in every
way
and
in all things into Him
Who is the Head, [even]
Christ (the Messiah,
the
Anointed one).
16
For because of Him the
whole body (the church,
in all its various
parts),
closely joined and
firmly knit together by
the joints and ligaments
with which
it is
supplied, when each part
[with power adapted to
its need] is working
properly [in all its
functions], grows to
full maturity, building
itself up in love.

There will

until we all become

There is
great conversion and
transformation that Christ
has for His Church.
We stand
willing to learn "new
things" of the Kingdom!
=======================================
In
reading about the Great
Awakening journal by
Jonathan Edwards 1734-1742
(a span of 8
years), the following 8
new things were presented
that are just
as
prevalent today as they
were with the first
century church and the
recordings
of the
spiritual outpouring of
His day:
1.
"Spiritual things" will
seem new to us.
2. "Preaching" will
seem new to us.
3. The Bible will
seem like a new book to
us.
4. We will find new
chapters because they are
opened in greater
understanding and
experiences.
5.
There will be "new" Psalms
in the same manner.
6.
There will be new
histories because they
seem in a new light.
7. Our hearts will
be made new and drawn out
in love in Christ.
8. Our minds will be
wrapped up in the newness
of delightful
contemplation of the glory
and grace of our heavenly
Father.
May we
always REMEMBER there is
resurrection power NOW,
This
Day, available to the
Church as that working in
the 1st Century church!
2 Cor
5:17 KJV
Therefore if any man be
in Christ, he is a new
creature:
old
things are passed away;
behold, all things are
become new.
There
are 8 New Things God has
given us to accomplish His
will:
1. New Relationships
2. New Identities
3. New Garments of
Favor
4. New and Fresh
Anointing
5. New Level of
Authority
6. New Actions…as
well as signs, wonders,
miracles
7. New Weapons for
Warfare
8. New
Sound… Victory
as conquers.

======================================
There
are great challenges and
opportunities before us
today!
God is
raising up His 21st
century Church!
We
thank God for commended
Ministry Visions of
Christ!
We are
grateful for the ascension
gift ministries working
together
by
combining vision that
spiritual gifts and
ministry resources are
multiplied!
The
Lord exponentially
multiplies visions through
visitations of the
Precious
Holy
Ghost as He magnifies and
glorifies the Body of
Christ in "good works."
The
"Good Works" are the
apostolic-prophetic works
of Ministry to Build
the Kingdom
throughout the whole
earth!
We
encourage you to study our
websites resources:
Inner

supernatural work
of the
Holy Spirit to reach the
nations and teach the
Light of Christ,
the
Glory and Power of the

and the
demonstration of the Holy
Spirit.
Isaiah
8:18 declares:
"We
are signs and wonders
for the Lord our
God"
