Creation & Ministry: The Parallels of Spiritual and Natural DNA

John 1

The Deity of Jesus Christ

1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.2 He was in the beginning with God. 3 All things came into being through Him, and apart from Him nothing came into being that has come into being. 4 In Him was life, and the life was the Light of men. 5 The Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.

DNA replication is a biological process that occurs in all living organisms and copies their DNA; it is the basis for biological inheritance.  

Reproducing the life of Christ is a spiritual process through his ministries that occurs through an organic church.  Ministry serves to reproduce the life of Christ in all aspects of lifestyle and creation.  As long as the Christ life is the origin of ministry, the ministries of Christ have the capacity to be reproduced in relationship to all that God created.  Beginning with family, this would include husband, wife, mother, father, sister, brother, son, daughter.  In the fullness of times, the cell (of family life) in it’s finished work, would begin building towards community, and so on.   

Fellowship with God is the process of participation (ministry) which honors God’s original intent for all that he created and spoke into existence.  

Whether ministry is reproducing after the ministries of Eph 4:11, or whether ministry is reproducing after the spiritual DNA of family and community, Christ is the basis for spiritual inheritance involving all that is created.  

Origins

In order for a cell to divide, it must first replicate its DNA.  This process is initiated at particular points in the DNA, known as “origins”.  Origins are targeted by proteins that separate the two strands and initiate DNA synthesis.  Origins contain DNA sequences recognized by replication initiator proteins.  These initiators recruit other proteins to separate the strands and initiate replication forks.   

Much like cells reproduce themselves through division, ministry becomes replicated through new expressions at “particular points” known as Kairos, appointed times.  Kairos, appointed times mark completion.  They also mark the times that new life and  new ministry begins through new purposes.  Kairos times contain spiritual DNA sequences that are defined and recognized through prophetic Times and Seasons.  This process, or arrangement of spiritual building, relates with the original order that God created the world through.  The Greek word for world is cosmos, or kosmos.  Kosmos means an apt and harmonious arrangement or constitution, order, or government.  

While we recognize that Five Fold ministry has it’s own form of government, we must also recognize that God created the world through many governing bodies, all of which hold the spiritual DNA within themselves.  

Those who know how to build and create through ministry know that all accountability and relationship cannot be contained within or limited to the original form of ministry.  A hierarchal type of government forms where accountability fails to yield to all of the functioning parts.  This is especially so where the multiplication has been activated to advance the Kingdom to areas of community in relationship to our cities and nations.  

Division that Leads to Multiplication

When the ministries begin reproducing beyond the original gifts of Eph 4:11, we find that they reproduce after the standards of family and community values.  This order serves to reveal God’s original intent for creating these relationships.  These standards are also key in demonstrating the administration needed to fully reveal Christ through his ministries.  We also find that the farther we advance the Kingdom through these expressions of ministry, the more careful we must be to insure that the source we are tapping into is actually of the origin of Christ.       

Present Truth is as the protein that’s needed to separate the original strands of DNA (of ministry) that reproduce after the gifts of Eph. 4:11.   This division serves to allow the ministries to begin being  reproduced in expressions beyond their original form of Apostle, Prophet, Evangelist, Pastor and Teacher.        

Although ministry often serves as the Keys of the Kingdom, the differing bodies that govern the earth serve as the doors that multiply all we know of ministry into new dimensions.  Innovation and creativity follows multiplication.  

Genesis 1:28

28 God blessed them; and God said to them, Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it; and rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the sky and over every living thing that moves on the earth.”

In the times of visitation for expansion, we should watch and pray that we are discerning of the (Kairos) times needed to advance the Kingdom.   In the multiplication, “giving an account of the Kingdom” is a great part of the accountability that we practice.  This also comes through prophetic declarations and decrees.  However it comes, we should not despise prophecy.  Prophecy imparts the vision needed to navigate through Kairos Times, which is the unseen spirit realm.  The Holy Spirit illuminates prophetic times as an effective way to bring to light what is otherwise hidden or unseen of the spirit realm.  The greater that our discernment is sharpened to the things of the Kingdom, the more we understand of the fellowship that God desires from us as mature sons.  

Proverbs 29:18
Amplified Bible (AMP)

18 Where there is no vision [no redemptive revelation of God], the people perish; but he who keeps the law [of God, which includes that of man]—blessed (happy, fortunate, and enviable) is he.

The Secret Gateways of Heaven

In a prophetic sense, apostolic ministry can be likened to the River Jordan in that the River marks the birth of a generation into the Kingdom of God.  This birth "mark" identifies the times that a generation crosses over from the natural realm to the spirit realm.  The crossing over from the natural realm to the spirit realm marks the times that a people begin being governed in a spiritual way through their relationship with God.  This relationship with God and His Kingdom comes through Christ.  The walk of faith through our sonship closely relates with Jesus' earthly ministry.    

As in the days when the entire nation of Israel crossed the River Jordan, God marks the times of our crossing over through an altar that was erected for the purpose of building a memorial.  This memorial was purposed to witness to the generations that would follow.  It's good to read the entire fourth chapter of Joshua, but we want to give special attention to the 9th verse.   In the 9th verse, each stone that was gathered from the middle of the Jordan was taken up from a member of each of the tribes.  

Joshua 4: ⁹ Then Joshua set up twelve stones in the middle of the Jordan at the place where the feet of the priests who carried the ark of the covenant were standing, and they are there to this day. 

Seeing the Kingdom of God is a daily discovery of finding it's secrets through the treasures that God has creatively hidden in our paths.  While one part of the witness of the Kingdom comes through a generation of fathers, another part comes through a witness of sons.  These sons, however scattered they are throughout the nations, will resonate one sound in profound ways.  Regardless of what dialect or tongue the sons speak, the Kingdom only has one sound and one voice.  To recognize the generation that God is manifesting himself through is to discover the hidden portals that open us to greater truths of the Kingdom in our journey of faith.  

New Jerusalem:  Rev. 21:  ¹⁶ The city is laid out as a square, and its length is as great as the width; and he measured the city with the rod, fifteen hundred miles; its length and width and height are equal.

Once Kingdom builders begin to identify the witness of New Jerusalem within the generations, they must begin building "plumb" in respect to the blueprints revealed in heaven.  Building "square" simply means building an administration of ministry where height (fathers) and width (sons) equal in dimensions through relationship.    

Each Builder will have their own assignment of what they are to build up in the Kingdom of God, but each building must be built on the foundations of Christ and Him alone.  Several years ago, God began revealing my own blueprints in profound and unusual ways.  In the early days, much of this was like setting sail on uncharted waters, while some parts brought the experience of a spiritual wilderness.  

Part of my assignment was relocating to Atlanta, GA.  After moving to Atlanta, I remember discerning things of the spirit that I had never seen or perceived before.  As soon as I entered the city, I began seeing a hidden Gateway.  In this Gateway, I began discerning many covenants in the land, many of which had been broken.  Not long after I moved to Atlanta, I began pouring hours into studying the history of the southeast; especially in relationship to Atlanta, slavery, and the Civil War.  I never spoke about these things or wrote about them until God sent a witness who spoke of the same portals that I had begun to see.

 The Hebrew word  sha'ar, means GATE, which means:   

1) gate

a) gate (of entrance)

b) gate (of space inside gate, i.e. marketplace, public meeting place)

1) city, town

c) gate (of palace, royal castle, temple, court of tabernacle)

d) heaven 


Portals, or open heavens, bring us into greater knowledge of the Kingdom of heaven in respect to the generations that God's Kingdom is to minister to.   There are some gates that are only revealed where there is equal representation of both generations of fathers and sons in respect to land and community (marketplace).  For this reason, the ministry of the Kingdom must be spiritually discerned as the River of the Holy Spirit is always increasing us in the knowledge of God.  

It's important to understand that we can have revelation of something before we experience a complete manifestation of what is being revealed.  Matthew 18:20 speaks that where two or three are gathered in my name, there I am (Christ) in their midst.  Where Christ is manifest in the earth, we have an earthly representation of what is seen in the heavens through two or more witnesses.  These witnesses often serve to represent the generations needed to build the administrations (ministry) needed to bring the Kingdom of God to earth.

After moving to Atlanta,  the first witness that God sent to me was for the purpose of manifesting the Gateway that greater ministry could be demonstrated through.  This person, an African-American gentlemen, represented the race who suffered great violence and injustices in the times of slavery.  God often used this person to speak of the secrets of the Kingdom that I had begun to see, but had not yet spoken - even to now.  

Even though I knew of portals over the city of Atlanta, it never occurred to me how they came to be or why they were in place.  Their presence taught me a great deal about the importance of vertical alignment in being submitted to God's purposes in relationship with both God and man.  One day, this gentleman sent me a photo of some prophetic artwork that showed a secret skyline hidden in the clouds above a natural city.  Soon after, he called me and began to speak of the portals over the city of Atlanta and how he longed to visit here.  Even though he spoke of coming to visit Atlanta, I knew by the spirit that he he was longing for the fullness of times.  These fullness of times, or his appointed time, would be where the salvation of the Lord would be manifest in his life beyond what he had ever known.     

In a lengthy phone call, my friend shared with me that God had spoken to him that these portals were in place through the songs of the slaves.  In times of great affliction and oppression, the slaves lifted their voices to God through songs of praise and worship.  In doing so, God marked  the times in the heavens that would witness to the generations that would follow.   These "times" are marked much like what is written in the fourth chapter of Joshua. 

The Throne of God

Rev. 11:16  ¹⁶ And the twenty-four elders, who sit on their thrones before God, fell on their faces and worshiped God,

True worship of God is marked by forgiveness that will even deliver those who have sinned against others through great violence and injustices.  Where darkness falls upon a generation, portals of open heaven illuminate "The Way" (Christ) of crossing over the River Jordan.  It's interesting to read the lyrics of a well known song that was known to be sung by slaves, "Swing Low, Sweet Chariot".  It's also amazing to see how God manifests Himself to those who desperately need him, especially in the face of great injustice.  

Swing Low, Sweet Chariot

Swing low, sweet chariot,
Coming for to carry me home
Swing low, sweet chariot,
Coming for to carry me home

I looked over Jordan, and I what did I see
Coming for to carry me home?
A band of angels coming after me
Coming for to carry me home

If you get there before I do
Coming for to carry me home
Tell all my friends I coming too
Coming for to carry me home

I'm sometimes up, I'm sometimes down
Coming for to carry me home
But still my soul feels heavenly bound
Coming for to carry me home

Slavery, as well as the Holocaust, serve to represent gross extremes of injustices where the ruler-ship of cruel lords are left unchallenged.  God's plan never fails to bring justice and liberty to all who hunger for Him and His Kingdom through Christ.

A Perfect Storm, by Kathie Walters

Note from Cindy Allen:  The following post resonates the same sound as the past few words that have been released here.  In this word, Kathie Walters speaks of the peace within even as she is given revelation and vision of  "a Perfect Storm".  

Kathie is a Seer/Prophet and her word alerts us to be aware of prophetic times even when we find ourselves in the midst of natural storms.  Our Key is in knowing God's purposes in what is taking place. In knowing God's purposes, we relate to our circumstances in respect to the Kingdom.  In doing so, we become governed by the order of God's Kingdom as opposed to being governed by the chaos that is often part of world systems.  

Apostolic and prophetic ministry serves to position us as Gatekeepers to not only speak into these times, but to bring change where change is needed.  For this reason,  God often moves to establish us in ministry that is corporate in relationship to territories of cities, nations and regions.     

 Several years ago, God began to lead me in pioneering apostolic team ministry through times that Kathie's word witnesses of.  Apostolic team ministry serves as a small speed boat that can easily navigate through challenging times or uncharted waters.   Leaders who covenant together become mantled to lead apostolic works in respect to these times.  These works are purposed to help our communities, cities and regions transition into the ministry that God will manifest Himself through.

A Perfect Storm, by Kathie Walters

Just as I was going to bed ( My usual 2am .God told me to post a word I had.  9/14/2012

For the past 2 days I have felt that I was on the top of a huge swell of Water. In the middle of the Ocean. It was very scary but I wasn't scared. God told me to post this to the intercessors 'GOD IS CREATING THE PERFECT STORM'  The storm will bring the things you have prayed and God is setting it up.

Maybe you are experiencing  a storm in your personal life or family. But you know Jesus was in a bad storm one time .. you know what though?  He went to sleep.

I am not suggesting you bury your head in the sand ( water) but you can be CALM because Jesus said " Peace- be still. " Well He is in you and you can speak to you own heart- "Peace be still" . Because you are not alone in your boat and you are not alone in your storm.

You can ride out the storm if you put your trust in HIM - the Lord Jesus. It may look rough out there but if you chill and get your eyes back on the creator, He will make the storm work. You can have PEACE and joy even when the waves are high-= You can ride the waves.

You are in the One who us peace so you  can "speak your peace"  and His faith is in you already. " To everyone is given the measure of faith." It doesn't jump in and out of you - just believe it and your supernatural faith will manifest.

Remember when Paul and Silas were in prison- They were in the inner  prison. That was a prison, inside a prison with their feet fast in the stocks. They didn't whine and complain they SANG PRAISES TO GOD 

The prison couldn't contain it  and the whole place began  to rock and roll with an earthquake. The doors flung open and prisoners looked like they were going to take off.  The prison guard was going to kill himself- How  was he going to answer for this? 

But Paul and Silas ministered to the jailor in the middle of an earthquake. I would imagine that in a scary situation like that you have a mindset like "Run for your life."  But Paul and Silas were able to minister to him and keep everyone  safe. They were in the middle of a shaking but they weren't shaken.  BECAUSE THEY WERE IN THE SHAKER (GOD).  If you stay in the shaker ( or wavemaker) then you wont be shaken.  Because inside the shaker there is PEACE and FAITH 

I speak peace and agree with you that in the storm -- "Peace be still"  Release the faith that is already in you.

Your perfect storm will  bring your answers if you believe. You can have an adventure if God is making changes in your life. Don't be afraid - He will never leave you nor forsake you

I am off to San Antonio in a little bit.

We need some regular supporters - Please pray about being one of them. I personally believe you will  be blessed because you are investing  into Good News-  Next week England and  Wales Tour ( conferences  Bedford and Nr Cardiff)  and then New Zealand (North  and South Islands)

Many Blessings,

Kathie

Identifying the Ekklesia

In this post, I'm publishing videos from Dr. John Eckhardt of Stauron Ministries of Maine.  (www.stauron.org)   In the first video, Dr. Eckhardt identifies the ministry and work of Apostles.  The second video identifies more with the Ekklesia as a governing body, as well as apostolic ministry.   The third video also identifies with apostolic ministry as well as the function of Apostles in the church. 

We know that the Kingdom has come through the Church.  As Dr. Eckhardt points out, the congregations that we're gathered with through the local church is of great importance.  Out of our congregations, we look for an established Ekklesia that functions as an actual governing body for the purpose of bringing the Kingdom of God to earth.  

Dr. Eckhardt's teachings identify with what we're presently hearing from a corporate prophetic voice in the Body of Christ in this hour.  (The Night Will Blossom - The Changing War, by Dr. Chuck Pierce)  We're presently receiving many words regarding the change that is coming to the overall structure of the church body.  An understanding of the function and purpose of the rising Ekklesia gives us understanding of what God is presently moving to accomplish through these prophetic words.  Understanding of God's will in relationship to the church body also serves to impart vision in how to walk these times out as a many-membered body.   

Where a true Ekklesia is formed, the members within these fellowships begin rising in stature through Christ.  Since the Ekklesia is a governing body, the Kingdom comes to bring order to the whole fabric of life through family, church, and community.  For this reason, we begin hearing of a different kind of warfare.  The Kingdom comes to establish divine order in every expression of relationship, ministry and government.   

An Ekklesia that is fully developed through bodies of Elders will produce apostolic ministry that functions as a finished work.  A finished work is needed to manifest the glory of God in the earth.  God's glory is especially needed where the work of the Kingdom is penetrating new territories through Apostles and apostolic companies (sent ones).
