Father Apostle

Galatians 1:1

Paul, an apostle--sent not from men nor by man, but by Jesus Christ and God the Father, who raised him from the dead— NIV

Paul, an apostle, (not of men, neither by man, but by Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who raised him from the dead) – KJV

This letter is from Paul, an apostle. I was not appointed by any group of people or any human authority, but by Jesus Christ himself and by God the Father, who raised Jesus from the dead. – NLT

I Corinthians 4:15

Even though you have ten thousand guardians in Christ, you do not have many fathers, for in Christ Jesus I became your father through the gospel. NIV

For though ye have ten thousand instructors in Christ, yet have ye not many fathers: for in Christ Jesus I have begotten you through the gospel. KJV

For even if you had ten thousand others to teach you about Christ, you have only one spiritual father. I became your father in Christ Jesus when I preached the Good News to you. NLT Fathers in ministry are more important than ever. Preachers are falling left and right. Immorality and Perversion are stronger in the pulpit than ever before. We submit to those that see destiny in us and are willing to invest in our future. These relationships bring identity and direction. My prayer for you is that you find that Father, and walk in your identity. Every one needs a spiritual father in the Faith.

Even Jesus did not begin His ministry until He submitted to John the Baptist's ministry and was baptized by him. It was at that time that Jesus' ministry was confirmed, established, and publicly declared by the voice of the Father.

To be successful in ministry it is necessary that we first learn to submit to another minister within the greater ministry of Father God. In this manner our ministry will be publicly declared by the voice of the Father. Jesus went into ministry under the commission of the voice of His spiritual Father, and He in turn was able to father others in the Faith.

If we refuse the Apostolic Spirit of the Father, we will only be cutting ourselves off from being able to birth MATURE sons and daughters in the Faith. Any Christian can lead others to Christ and bring babes into the Kingdom. Children can lead other children, but only those who accept the work of the Father in their lives can truly mature others in the Faith.

"I Am the Way ..." [Jesus Christ]

I Timothy 1:1 states that Paul was "an Apostle of Jesus Christ by the commandment of God." If the Apostles are Apostles by commandment, to minister to the Body of Christ, then it is equally true that the Body of Christ is under commandment first of all to accept the Apostles' ministry, and secondly to become an Apostolic People for our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. An Evangelist will give you equipment in the Spirit to evangelize the lost, a Teacher will equip you in the Spirit to teach others, a Prophet will enable "your sons and daughters" to "prophesy" (Acts 2:18), a Pastor will equip you to shepherd your own soul first, and then to lead and protect others in a deeper walk with their Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, but the Apostle will equip you with the Greatest Grace of God and the Greatest Anointing of God the Body of Christ could ever hope to receive through any other ministry Gift in the Body of Christ on Earth today! An Apostle will equip the Body of Christ with Apostolic abilities. The Apostle's Anointing will first of all enable you to receive the depths of his or her knowledge deep within your own spirit through his or her own spirit of understanding. So the Apostles will not only teach great truths, but they will enable you to take those great truths and make them your own, so that you can walk in Apostolic POWER, and wisdom, and understanding.

I Corinthians 1:23-24 states that the Apostles "preach Christ crucified...Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God." When the Apostles preach the Gospel, they preach and teach in a full demonstration of the power and wisdom of God. This also means that the POWER and WISDOM of God come first from the Apostle's ministry. On the Day of Pentecost, when the Holy Spirit had first been poured out in this Pentecostal Demonstration of God's Apostolic POWER after the Ascension of our Lord Jesus Christ, the first one to preach and demonstrate God's wisdom and POWER was the Apostle Peter, who stood up with the other 11 Apostles (Acts 2:14) and the result was that about 3,000 souls were added to the Kingdom. In this demonstration of POWER through the Apostles' ministry on the Day of Pentecost, God was also teaching us that the Apostle's ministry is also Anointed to be the strongest demonstration of POWER to defend the True Gospel of our Precious Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. When the Body of Christ is having its faith attacked, then the Apostles will rise up in their greatest boldness, even risking their own lives, to protect God's Sheep.

It is very important for all of you to understand why the Apostle's wisdom and power are so important to the Body of Christ. Apostles are Covenant fathers. This means that God has equipped them with the ability to take Children of God and babes in Christ, and turn them into sons and daughters. To be a son and daughter means to outgrow childish things and to become full grown men and women of God. I Corinthians 4:15 says that even "though you might have ten thousand instructors in Christ, yet you do not have many fathers." The Greek word used in this verse that is translated "INSTRUCTORS" is "paidagogos". This means that this type of instructor is a guardian and a guide of boys. He is not an instructor of men, but of boys. That word in the Greek literally means "a boy leader". This word was used to describe a servant whose office it was to take the children to school. The Apostle Paul contrasts the difference between a boy leader and a father, or an Apostle who has become your Covenant father.

Without the Apostles' ministry, the Body of Christ will never receive the fullness of the wisdom and power of God necessary to become FULL GROWN sons and daughters of God. I have heard some of you speak of my maturity of teaching. This is because God has equipped me with the ability to be a Covenant father who preaches father truths. There are many instructors in the Body of Christ today who are teaching the Body of Christ vital truths, but these truths do not have the apostolic ability to cause Believers to inherit the fullness of their Blessing. These are boy leaders’ teachings boy truths to children. I am not putting down their ability to teach, and I am certainly not putting down the Truths they have learned and teach others, but I want to tell you that many are boy leaders or boy instructors in the Body of Christ, even some Pastors are boy leaders teaching children of God truths that will never enable them to fully know God and become full grown sons and daughters, and many are in this condition today, not because they are not able to teach father truths, but because they refuse to come into covenant relationship with the Apostles. Many are boy leaders teaching boy truths because they don't even believe in the ministry of a chief father in the Body of Christ, which is the Apostle. So I do not speak to shame those who are boy leaders who don't understand or know the Apostles ministry, but I do speak to shame those who do understand the Apostles' ministry who refuse to come into Covenant Relationship with one. And there are some Pastors who will have congregations full of children because they will simply refuse to believe in the Apostles' ministries in these last days.
