50 Truths Concerning Apostolic Ministry

47. Apostles are Reformers

Which stood only in meats and drinks, and divers washings, and carnal ordinances, imposed on them until the time of reformation. Hebrews 9:10 he transition from the Old to the New Testament was a time of reformation. The Lord used apostles to bring about this reformation. This has been the case throughout Church history. T Whenever there is a need for reformation, the Lord sends forth apostolic ministry. Apostles have the ability to pull down the strongholds of tradition and bring forth new revelation. There are times of reformation when the apostolic anointing will be strong. Apostles operate and minister in a reforming anointing. When the Church is out of order and not in proper form, there will be a need to RE-FORM it. Reformation is unpleasant but necessary. Apostles have the discerning to know when the Church is not in its proper form. Form is the shape of a thing or person, a particular condition, character, or mode in which something appears (Webster). When the shape, condition or character of the Church is not according to Scripture, apostles are sent to bring REFORM.
