Identifying the Coming Shift Through the Times of Multiplication

In the next season, we will begin seeing a radical transformation of ministry in it's operation and function beyond what the church has ever known.  We are quickly approaching the times that bring fullness through the maturation of the part of ministry that is to be foundation for all that is forthcoming hereafter.  

In the past season, we learned a great deal of how anointing, ministry and grace is transferred through relational alignments.  This has been demonstrated through those who co-labor together to manifest the ministries of Christ within the Church.  In the next season, ministry will frequently function to demonstrate the Kingdom within new operational spheres of grace.  While administrations will identify new new spheres of grace, the operation of these ministries are purposed to demonstrate the stewardship of the Kingdom to the communities that ministry is to serve.  

Even as the former works remain, the sudden presence of greater works are purposed to demonstrate the ministry of the Kingdom beyond an order that builds foundations.  The next season is purposed to build upon the foundations that we already have.  Administrations are governing bodies of disciples, sons, Elders and Ministry Leaders that serve to identify a functional ekklesia, also known as the church.    

1 Corinthians 12:28
And God has appointed in the church, first apostles, second prophets, third teachers, then miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, administrations, various kinds of tongues.

Much like God created a place for Adam to dwell in, administrations serve to build up the community needed to reveal the greater works of Christ.  Jesus also said, "I go to prepare a place for you".  The presence of two or more expressions of Christ through fully formed administrations bring the quickening spirit of Christ.  The glory of the Lord follows to reveal the sons who are appearing in his glory.  

John 14:3

³ If I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself, that where I am, there you may be also.

Colossians 3:4

⁴ When Christ, who is our life, is revealed, then you also will be revealed with Him in glory.

Present truth serves us "where we are" in appropriating the word of God in these current times.   The blessing of God, which reveals the multiplication of the Kingdom, becomes activated in such a demonstration of Christ in the earth.  What is born out of Christ in his many manifold expressions will be spiritually discerned by a governing body of ministry.  

The photograph below demonstrates the multiplication factor of discerning times and seasons, spheres, and atmospheres as we seek to bring heaven to earth.
  

The Alpha and the Omega; 

the Beginning and the End

Eye vs. Nebula
The bottom photos demonstrates what the shift looks like where the seeing Eye of the prophetic is expanded to see the greater works of the Kingdom.  In the multiplication, the Kingdom appears to us outside of the body that manifests the ministry.  Relationship is extended to where Christ is appearing.  

Birth of a cell; death of a star  
The glory that becomes manifest to reveal Christ through the gifts fade as the glory is transferred to the sons.    John 17:22  Their Future Glory (Jesus prayed to the Father)  The glory which You have given Me I have given to them, that they may be one, just as We are one;

Brain cell vs the Universe:
The mind of Christ must be received in the regeneration.  God gives strategy, purpose and operation in the regeneration of the ministries of Christ from faith to faith and from glory to glory.  

Eph 1: 

⁹ He made known to us the mystery of His will, according to His kind intention which He purposed in Him ¹⁰ with a view to an administration suitable to the fullness of the times, that is, the summing up of all things in Christ, things in the heavens and things on the earth. In Him ¹¹ also we have obtained an inheritance, having been predestined according to His purpose who works all things after the counsel of His will, ¹² to the end that we who were the first to hope in Christ would be to the praise of His glory. ¹³ In Him, you also, after listening to the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation—having also believed, you were sealed in Him with the Holy Spirit of promise, ¹⁴ who is given as a pledge of our inheritance, with a view to the redemption of God’s own possession, to the praise of His glory.

Manifold Kingdom blessings,

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.     
  
Grace and peace,

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).

Debugging the Prophetic, by Apostle Ricci J. Hausley, Sr.

Note from Cindy Allen:  This is an excellent word from Apostle Ricci J. Hausley, Sr. in regards to perfecting the prophetic.  His word is very balanced in that while we seek to perfect ministries in the people, we want to avoid perfectionism that ultimately causes people to become self-conscience rather than Christ conscience.  Even as the gift is perfected, the ministry should ultimately serves to anchor each one in how to remain Christ-centered individuals.  Christ-centered individuals co-labor with others in cultivating greater communities that will continue to be Christ focused in their growth.  Ministry that stays true to it’s purpose serves to heal and perfect the community it comes out of.  Interestingly, the gift first raises relational standards for community.  Next, the community that the gift is raised in serves to perfect the gift.  This is ongoing from glory to glory and from one community to the next.    

Regarding individual ministry gifts, Three Fold Cords serve the people powerfully.  Three Fold Cords produce absolute values in respect to ministry gifts.  The corporate ministry represented within a greater Priesthood comes out of absolute values.  True standards of Christ  bring unity among those of like gifting - not disunity.   This administration of ministry witnesses of the Elders of Titus 1:5.  

The apostolic and prophetic community (as well as the School) that Apostle Hausley mentions bears witness of ministry that comes out of an administration.  Close relations with other gifts build us towards TEAM.  Teamwork further prepares us in building the administrations needed to minister to greater community life.      

The ministries of Christ are already a TURN-KEY operation.   A body only needs two or three who will faithfully operate in the grace that they carry in relationship to other like gifts.  When this agreement is present through absolute values, all enjoy the fellowship that Acts 2:42 ministers to us.  

Beyond the gifts, the formation of ministry teams and greater counsel serve to cultivate ministry through greater community.   The guidance of the Rocket that Apostle Ricci speaks of witnesses of how greater community is developed through the ministries.  Equip, release and listen to what God speaks through His people! 

Enjoy this timely word!

Debugging the Prophetic  
by Apostle Ricci J. Hausley, Sr.  

"Dead flies cause the ointment of the apothecary  to send forth a foul odor: so does

a little folley to him that is respected for wisdom and honor," Ecclesiastes - 10:1

     Beloved I have carried the baton for the Prophets and Apostles in our region for well over 20 years of my 35 years of ministry and nearly 40 years in Christ Church.  Dead flies in the ointment will always send forth a foul odor!  Many in our Apostolic Prophetic community ask, why are Pastors so hard on Prophets and Prophetic People?  Actually, this is one of the most common complaints we get, but it's not actually the full truth.  The hardest people on Prophets and Prophetic people are other Prophets and Prophetic people, for the Word of God it actually says, "Let the Prophets speake two or three, and let the others (Prophets) judge,” I Corinthians - 14:29.  

     There is a single and clear reason for this.  The problem is that most people who "hear or see" prophetically expect others to see and hear just the way that they do.  That will never happen, because the ways people see and hear prophetically are just as numerous as the number of people upon earth.  

     We have no problem saying everyone's looks, personality, talents, and gifting's are expected to be varied.  Why then do we not expect prophetic people to be different in the way they see and hear?  God is no less creative with prophetic types of people than He is with all people.  He will cause one, even at the age of seven years, to see and hear, and have prophetic experiences of being caught up into heaven and seeing awesome things.  He'll create another to operate by faith alone.

     I asked a very high level and mature Prophet once, how often--when he publicly prophesies--does he see everything he prophetically states, and how often does he prophesy by faith.  He said, "I see about 50% exactly what I prophesy. The other 50% of my Prophesy is actually by faith."  But think about it, that's exactly what the Scripture confirms when it states in Romans - 12:6:"We have different gifts, according to the grace given us.  If a man's gift is prophesying, let him use it is according to the proportion of his faith."  

     Don't be discouraged if your prophesying is by your faith alone, for you will be in good company.  Back to Pastors: Most who are even slightly interested in knowing what God is saying, they LONG really for Prophets who will not "act weird" and just please give a clear word from the Lord.  The main problem with Pastors is not them all the time, but that they often see too many prophetic people who just have to much ambitious and are too show oriented.  Prophetic people need to balance their ambitious drive and need for sensationalism and being seen.  Then Pastors will more likely be open to hearing a clearly-stated prophetic word.  This is a homework project to work towards!!! 

     One of the questions I often get from sincere prophetic people is: "How do I know if I'm hearing God or it's my own thoughts?”  Remember God was very clear when He said “For My thoughts are not Your thoughts, neither are Your ways My ways, says the LORD,” Isaiah - 55:8.  But He never said, "My thoughts won't get into your thoughts.”  It says in James - 5:17, “Elijah was a man with a nature like ours, and he prayed earnestly that it would not rain,, and it did not rain on the earth for three years and six months.”  On the surface this seems like Elijah labored in prayer and then God honored his prayer.  

     The New Testament writers had a way of generalizing when quoting Old Testament quotations.  They would quote just enough to get their point across, without giving the full detail of the quotation.  But let’s take a look at the actual quote in I Kings - 17:1 which says, "And Elijah the Tishbite, who was of the inhabitants of Gilead, said unto Ahab, As the Lord God of Israel liveth, before whom I stand, there shall not be dew nor rain these years,but according to my word.”  

     Did you see that?  God had actually gotten into his thoughts so that Elijah’s thoughts and God’s thoughts had become one.  Jesus prayed for all of us that we wouild become one with him and the Father.  God getting into our thoughts is one of those ways.  I have discovered that when the Holy Spirit is at work through your human spirit and its variopus faculities, the human intellect aspect of your brain is at complete rest.  The aspect of your brain which is at work when under the opeartion of the Holy Spirit is your motor control faculities.  In Hebrews - 5:14 we have been given a clue how to develop this ability.  It says they who have matured have developed skill by training their human spirit to discern good from evil.  

     God’s thoughts and your thoughts becoming one is one of those ways of God.  Until you receive training many times you will be hearing the Lord and not even know it because on the surface it may feel like your thoughts.  Many prophetic people think what they "hear" are just their own thoughts.  But here is the difference, when your thoughts come out of your intellect you can tell it, verses when it comes to you.  The Old Testament Prophets explained it this way, “The Word of the Lord CAME UNTO ME SAYING”… Beloved follow your gut instincts.  The world has come to call this as "your sixth sense."  But that's not what God calls it.  In the Bible it's said like this: "Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, 'This is the way; walk in it," Isaiah - 30:21.  

     Sometimes when you least think you're hearing God's Voice, you are actually hearing Him the most--because you're following your "gut" instinct, your sixth sense as it were--or really your faith.  My Spiritual Father Apostle Chuck Clayton use to always say "obey your first mind, for it is always the mind of Christ."  I always say your spirit will always get things long before your intellect and brain get the news.                                                                                

     Someone asked a man once, "What if I make the wrong decision when I THINK I've heard from God?"  He said, "Son, God can do more with your mistakes than you can ever do with your best obedience or your best intentions.”  In our Prophetic College I like to say to people, "Don't stand there.  Just do SOMETHING!"  God will make the crooked path straight.  Remember God is a father, and like watching a baby take its first step, our heavenly Father is more interested in you trying to take steps than He is in allowing fear to cripple you.  But just like a rocket blasting off, you have to be moving in order to be guided.  You can't guide a rocket sitting on its launch pad.  Just move--or in this case, SPEAK.  God will do the rest.  At the Samuel Elijah Prophetic College we have a saying "MAKE A LOUD MISTAKE!!!"

     Another question I always get is how will I get people or my Pastor to actually listen to my prophetic gift?  This is easy.  Just keep prophesying and do it with grace and mercy and encouragement.  See we are told beloved in the book of I Corinthians - 14:3 "But everyone who prophesies speaks to men for their strengthening (edification), encouragement (exhortation), and comfort."  People spend way too much time "correcting" people's sins, rather than figuring out a way to encourage them.  The Old Man (the flesh) has no 12 step program or rehab center to help him recover.  

     Apostle Paul made it plain that the Old Man is to receive a death sentence and is to be put off with his deeds, for we are to identify with Christ crucifixion!  We always encourage people at the School of The Apostles and Prophets once a month also to “MAKE A LOUD MISTAKE” (i. e. under supervision).  Let me state this another way, We ALL SIN, All OF US DO SO in the name of ignorance, immaturity, and a need for development!  That is why Apostle John said, “If we say we do not sin, we LIE and the truth is not in us, but if we confess our sins, He is faithful an just to forgive us our sins and to cleans us from all unrighteousness."

     Prophets and prophetic people need to spend time asking God for an encouraging word for another person that will help them find their prophetic voice--and they'll not only find it--but they'll discover people will listen to them.  Jesus, as you may remember, except for the unrepentant Pharisees, spent most of His time encouraging, building up and teaching those who needed the same from Him.  He spent precious little time correcting sin.  Most Old Testament Prophets walked alone with the exception of those who were in the Prophetic family of Moses or the prophetic company of Samuel and Elijah.  Too many New Testament Prophets and prophetic people use an Old Testament “walk alone” model when presenting their prophetic messages, rather than a New Testament, fivefold model.  

     Having oversight of a Apostolic Prophetic community for as long as I have we can surely testify that all too often prophetic people self-afflict some of the hurt and wounds they carry.  Most of it comes from a lack of training, and having never done an appreticeship under seasoned Prophets.  We call people who need their prophetic debugged, spiritual granola bars, "Fruit, Flakes, & NUTS." Todays Apostolic Prophetic Newsletter is our 107 volume and is taken from our new Updated version of our Prophetic Two course.  Hopefully this newsletter has stirred up your pure mind and caused you to stretch and exercise your God ordained ability within your redeemed human spirit.

Coming Soon! Interactive Online Workshops

Cindy Allen will be hosting interactive, online workshops to empower Key Leaders in discerning the Times that witness of how God is moving on his people. 

Whether you serve the Body of Christ as a Five Fold Ministry Leader, or whether you serve as a Marketplace Leader, these customized, online workshops are purposed to empower, activate, and equip Laborers in the coming Harvest!  Ministry sessions are purposed to train, equip, and activate an individual in respect to the role that their gift plays in relationship to the corporate move of God in his people.   

We are at the brink of witnessing one of the greatest moves of God that the Body of Christ has ever known.  Laborers of this Harvest are being prepared in this hour. 

Discern the Times!     

The greatest KEY in discerning the Times is in KNOWING our members in order to give place for the gifts to function as they should.  Together, we learn to consistently occupy the spiritual ground we’ve been given in order to further advance the Kingdom of God in the earth.  Progressive growth through the ministry gifts reveals the relationship needed to co-labor together as Kings and Priests, after the order of Melchizedek. 

In order to advance the Kingdom, Marketplace Leaders must effectively occupy ground within their spheres of influence.  This is accomplished by identifying with the Five Fold ministry gifts in their full stature in relationship with Church Leadership of our cities.  Marketplace Leaders, Elders, and Five Fold Ministry Leaders learn to co-labor together to form Administrations.   

Administrations of King and Priest Ministry serve as governing bodies of corporate ministry.  These administrations serve to unite the greater, global church body.  Administrations further serve to strategically guide God’s people in revealing the corporate salvation of the global body.    

From Revealing Corporate Salvation to 
Manifesting the Covenant Needed to Heal Our Land   

Discerning and respecting the anointing of the Holy Spirit in our members is KEY in protecting the corporate salvation of cities, regions and nations.  Ministry progressively reveals how to manifest covenant in relationship to land and regions.  A body who can “occupy together” becomes equipped in effective intercession on behalf of cities, regions and nations.  
  
Israel knew how to relate to it’s own body as a nation.  The local church body is equipped to occupy new ground by discerning how the gifts of Eph. 4:11 function within the body.  Together, both functions of ministry serve to effectively equip a body to advance the Kingdom of God.  In like manner, the local church “grows” to know it’s members within our cities.  Administrations within cities rise to intercede on behalf of regions, while Regional Administrations rise to intercede on behalf or our nations. 

Come and join us as we endeavor to co-labor together to catch the Spirit towards greater purpose of ministry on behalf of our communities and cities!   God has called us into fellowship that witnesses of the place of Rest that comes to those who manifest Christ in the earth in these exciting times.
