A New Day

We live in a day that I believe are cherished by the hosts of heaven. As we walk in God's divine plan and purposes, and as the hosts of heaven cheers us on, what are the purposes of our callings and how do we fit into God's master plan.

As this new day approaches we are seeing the saints of God take on a new direction. A direction that takes us out of the old catagories of the church and puts us into the new. A new direction in which the saints are doing the bidding of God more today than any other day.

As I was reading an article on the 7-Fold Anointing by Apostle Bill Hammon my heart leaped for joy as I read what God has been affirming to me for the past 3 years.


In 1948 the Restoration Movement was restored with teaching on restoration in the Body of Christ, and of the members in particular, and praising God in worship by singing praises. Then the Deliverance Evangelism Movement came along with the purpose of restoring the evangelist back into order. Next we had the Charismatic Renewal in the ‘60’s, Faith Movement in the ‘70’s, Prophetic in the ‘80’s, the Apostolic in the ‘90’s and we’re looking for the Saints Movement sometime in the first decade of the 21st century. Let me say the last five decades of the 20th century were dedicated to restoring the five-fold ministers. The evangelist was restored in the 50’s, the pastor was restored in the 60’s,teacher was restored in the 70’s (the charismatic teachers and the faith teachers), prophets were restored in the 80’s, apostles in the 90’s. Now that we’ve got all five, we can have a Saints Movement. (Apostle Bill Hammon)

ALL ARE MINISTERS OF GOD

It is time for the body to understand that ALL saints are called to be ministers and for us to move into a unity that enemy cannot overcome. We are all called to the body of Christ. Without everyone fulfilling the calling that is on their life the whole body of Christ suffers. This is no more about who is the hand and who is the foot. This is about we are the body and we suffer just as much without the foot as we do without the hand or the hair, or the brain, or even the heart. We must stand in unison and take our part in the body then and only then will we be able to come into the unity of faith that Paul talks about in Ephesians 4:11-13.

WE ALL NEED TO BE TRAINED

No matter what we are called to do Apostle, Prophet, Evangelist, Pastor or Teacher we have to be trained. No matter five fold or saint we have to be trained and mentored. It is time we start planting ourselves into the vineyard that God has called us and start growing in the power of the Holy Spirit. In Isaiah Chapter 5 the prophet started fortelling what God was trying to establish compared to what man was trying to establish. When man establishes he establishes bitter and wild grapes compared to the tame and flavorful fruit that God establishes.

If we do not submit to the training that God provides we will become another wild grape unusable in the Kingdom of God. We have too many untrained and unmentored saints as well as the five fold doing their own thing that only brings glory to themselves and not to the Kingdom of God. They have become Empire builders instead of Kingdom Builders. People who are too busy moving from vineyard to vineyard trying to find where they fit in instead of being planted in the fertilness of God.

GOD WANTS TO ESTABLISH YOU

It is time for men and women of God to become established in local churches so that we can be a benefit instead of a hinderance. Most so called family churches (People who meet with their own family at home) are ineffective in all areas of ministry. No one is saved, no one is filled with the Baptism of the Holy Ghost, no one is delivered, and no one is healed. What a pious opportunity for people to do nothing but gloat in their own lusts and self condeming religous thoughts. Come out and do something for the kingdom of God. Get planted in a five fold body and let your ministry bloom into a full harvest for God.
