50 Truths Concerning Apostolic Ministry

32. Apostolic Ministry is a Ministry of Warfare (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds;) 2 Corinthians 10:4 he word "warfare" is the Greek word strateia meaning military service, the APOSTOLIC CAREER (as one of hardship and danger). Paul calls the apostolic career one of warfare. T Since apostles go first into new regions or territories, they encounter the resistance of demon powers first. They have the anointing to break through this resistance. There is much warfare involved in apostolic ministry. Apostles must war against tradition, ignorance, fear, and religious bondage. Apostles pull down strongholds through their preaching, teaching, prophesying and miracle ministries. Demonic strongholds are shattered. Apostolic ministry is often militant. According to Webster, militant means aggressive, and often combative, especially in support of a cause.
