The Wonder of September 11th<br />
birthing was foretold in the Scripture similar to the birth of Jesus 2000<br />
years ago when His life was the fulfillment of Scriptures that He could<br />
not have manipulated. I believe that this sign is prophetic of the<br />
Apostolic office that God is now restoring to the Bride Body of Christ.<br />
The “Restoration” birth pangs have been coming ever since the<br />
reformation with Martin Luther. Over the past 1,500 years, the<br />
ministry gifts of pastor/teacher, evangelist, prophet and now apostle are<br />
being restored to the corporate understanding of “church.” With the<br />
restoration of the apostle, we can expect not just a revival of the old<br />
order “church,” but a whole new revolution of what “church” is and<br />
how we do it. Those who are desperately hungry for a genuine<br />
relationship with the living God and are weary of playing the religious<br />
games with institutional church are among those who will receive and<br />
embrace this new revolution of church order.<br />
I am certainly not degrading the labor of our forefathers who have<br />
fought valiantly by establishing the great denominations which are<br />
known throughout Christianity. But it is now the proper time in<br />
ecclesiastical history to unite under one banner and allow Christ in His<br />
Bride Body to reclaim the earth for His glory. Part of the apostolic<br />
anointing in our generation is for the purpose of bringing together<br />
God’s Bride according to His pattern or matrix. The beginning of<br />
correct order involves Jesus truly becoming the chief cornerstone (Eph.<br />
2:20) and the head of His church Body. This can only happen when we<br />
start giving our lives and meetings over to Him instead of looking to<br />
man’s ability. Our natural abilities are often an affront to the finished<br />
work of Christ. We need to embrace the Cross and let God be God.<br />
One of the biggest wrong mindsets that true apostles will help to<br />
crucify is the clergy vs. laity mentality. The priesthood of ALL<br />
believers must be restored where Jesus is the only clergy and his Body<br />
functions according to directions from Him (the Head). This does not<br />
nullify the servant leadership gifts that the Lord gives to people, and it<br />
is not an excuse for independence from others. On the contrary, Jesus<br />
will most often speak to us through people in His Body, and we must<br />
be able to discern His voice through whomever He decides to speak.<br />
However, true apostles will not draw men unto themselves like a pope,<br />
but will point them to Jesus. God is not impressed with the giftings<br />
that He gives to His apostles and we shouldn’t be either. He rewards<br />
