THE APOSTLE, AN APOSTLE

There is much talk and stir today about AN APOSTLE, and THE APOSTOLIC. Yet so few can truly define an apostle or the apostolic and show the truth about this doma gift's calling, anointing, commission, role, and purpose (Greek "doma", a present, gift). So what truly is the apostolic move of God? And what is, who is, and what is the purpose of an apostle?

First of all, there is THE APOSTLE and there is AN APOSTLE. Jesus, the Son of God, is THE APOSTLE:

"...consider THE APOSTLE and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus;"
Hebrews 3:1

Then there is the doma five-fold gifting of AN Apostle:

"And he (Jesus) gave some, apostles..."
Ephesians 4:11

The founder of this ministry learned that he was called into the apostolic ministry after an unexpected visitation from God Himself on December 25, 1984, when God told him, "I have called you to be an apostle." From that moment forward, he has devoted his life and time to the study, research, and work of an apostle/apostolic ministry. As a result, the ministry began to change dramatically, and has become one of full-fledged Fatherhood - Divine, spiritual, domestic, biological, secular, and into the civil/governmental. Completely matured apostolic ministry also deals with and totally implements true order in every facet of one's life. God took the founder of this ministry through each of the works of the five-fold ministry, so that he would fully understand and be familiar with all the workings of each of the five facets of Jesus - each dimension of the five-fold ministry.

Some of the functions of an apostle are to bring total order, structure, and definition to the Church, and to each member; to uproot every remainder of the insidious taproots the devil has planted and woven throughout the psyche of man; to utterly vanquish satan's influence of iniquity and lawlessness in the deepest, most secret recesses of the human nature; to bring deeper, truer relationship with God and with His Family; to bring greater consecration unto God; to bring forth not only revelation of the Word of God, but the entire foundation of the revelation - the basis for what God actually meant when He said it! An apostle/apostolic ministry accomplishes all of these things, and many, many more.

But overall, the work of an apostle can be summed up by saying the following: IT IS THE FACET OF APOSTLE THAT BRINGS FORTH THE FULLEST REVELATION OF GOD, WHICH IS GOD THE FATHER, WHICH LEADS YOU INTO GOD'S FATHERHOOD, IMPLEMENTING GOD AS "THE BECOMING FATHER" INTO YOUR LIFE. An apostle actually causes you to get BAPTIZED INTO THE NAME OF THE FATHER...
