Embrace Change Apostolically and Prophetically
by Minister Gaylean Maynard
A sound is going forth in the earth and only a remnant is hearing. The others are too busy caught up in religious works. Religion denies the demonstration of the power of God. The Apostolic and prophetic voices are sounding the alarm to set a people in divine alignment according to God’s will and purposes for Kingdom assignment. The Spirit of the Lord is saying to his body “ride with my winds of change and let me take you to where I want you to be positioned to affect change in the earth. You must come into a paradigm shift in your mind-set”. My people let Matthew 6:33 be your focus in these perilous times “seek first the Kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.”
In Numbers chapter 10 the Lord told Moses to make two silver trumpets which represented the Apostolic calling order and Prophetic giving direction to the congregation of Israel. The Lord also told Moses in verse 9 “When you go into battle in your own land against an enemy who is oppressing you, sound a blast on the trumpets. Then you will be remembered by the LORD your God and rescued from your enemies.” The people were called into order then given directions on how to have victory over their enemies. I
The book of Acts opens up with Jesus’ instructions to his disciples to tarry in Jerusalem in the upper room for the promise of the father, which was the manifestation of the infilling of the Holy Spirit. This infilling was to empower them for ministry to do what Jesus did in the gospels, to affect change all around them. We see also in the book of Acts how the church was founded on the Apostolic and Prophetic move.
According to Ephesians 2:20, the church is built on the foundation of the Apostles and Prophets, with Jesus Christ Himself being the chief cornerstone, in whom the whole building, being fitted together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord. In Jesus you also are being built together for a dwelling place of God in the spirit. Saints we must embrace these two foundational aspects of the five-fold ministry along with the other three -Evangelists, Pastors and Teachers - which according to Ephesians 4:11-16 is for equipping the saints for the work of ministry and edification of the body of Christ, until there is maturity, stability and integrity taking place in every individual members’ experience, resulting in the growth of the Body of Christ as a whole.
Through the working of the Holy Spirit in the lives of the Apostles, the early church embraced the Apostolic and Prophetic move and their lives were forever changed. Daily souls were being added to the church, cities were turned upside down and reformation begun I admonish you, servants of the most High God; do not miss your divine visitation. Get rid of the old religious mindset and embrace what God is doing in the earth and ride with the winds of change.
Nations are calling us, are you willing to pay the price to go?
