The Lord Jesus Christ gave five ministry gifts (apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors and teachers) to the church — the body of
Christ — for the equipping of the saints (Ephesians 4:11-12). All of these fivefold ministries are important and needed in the church
today. There is a precise order and function for these gifts. God has appointed in the church, first apostles, second prophets, third
teachers, then miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, administrations, various kinds of tongues (1 Corinthians 12:28). In
governmental ranking and influence the apostolic anointing is the primary anointing, affecting the other governmental ministry gifts.
Though prophets may help prepare the way for apostles, they function as second in regards to governmental ranking and
influence. Even though apostles and prophets are first and second in ranking, respectively, these ministry gifts have been
neglected and often rejected by the church. Without these important ministry gifts, the instruction in the church has often been
somewhat misguided and incomplete. Hence this website provides apostolic and prophetic views of the kingdom of God and how
believers are to function in it with power, authority and victory.
Apostles and prophets are the two foundational ministries in the body of Christ. God’s people are built on the foundation of the
apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus himself as the chief cornerstone (Ephesians 2:19-20). Apostles and prophets
understand the mysteries of the kingdom of God which have been hidden throughout the ages. The mystery of Christ has now
been revealed to His holy apostles and prophets by the Holy Spirit (Ephesians 3:4-5). The life of Christ is revealed through the
apostolic gift to bring forth the life of Christ in others (Colossians 1:27-29). The apostolic gift to the church brings order and
maturity. The apostles go into new territory and establish God’s kingdom in that territory. The apostle first establishes authority and
then the prophet brings direction. Apostles and prophets can continue to work where they are received, preparing the field for
harvest. Apostles and prophets also identify those who are called by the Lord to be apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors and
teachers and bring them out from hiding in caves and crevices. They will disciple and equip them and lay hands upon them so that
they may know God.
