Apostles ....
These are a few books listed as suggested reading in the Leadership class we offer.
The author gives great descriptions to the apostolic call, the apostolic spirit, the movement of the Fathers, understanding apostolic authority and patterns for apostolic churches.
Some quotes:
- "A great wave is breaking and birthing a wonderful new life. The Spirit of God is releasing a mighty apostolic movment.."
- "the apostle is distinct from the other ministry gifts mentioned in Scripture and appears to possess a unique place, function and importance in God's plan."
- " The apostles list of responsiblities includes: overseeing, strengthening, developing, imparting, fathering, ordaining, supervising, managing and networking.These words define not only what thdy do, but also who they are."
- :..the apostle will take on the mantle of a father in and through this coming movement. One of the most striking characteristics of an apostles' ministry is spirtual fatherhood."
Another book: The Apostolic Ministry by Rick Joyner
- "Apostles are called to be God's masterr builders ..
- The apostolic goal is not focused on the house a much a on the glory of the One who is to inhabit the house..
- The apostolic call is to lead men to Chirst not just to church
- the apostolic Christ centered, not church centered...
- Apostles impart God's government..
- .The governmnet of God is not just a system of organization, but an anointing.
- A ture apostolic movement or government, must come from what the Lord has deposited in the heart of an apostle, not by his ability to copy others well.
