Moving in the Apostolic

116 Moving in the Apostolic

anointing is a building anointing. However, it is impossible to successfully build without first dealing with the horns. If the horns are not destroyed, they will continue to thwart the building process. The carpenters have the authority and power to destroy the horns and cast them out. The term "cast out" is a deliverance term. Multitudes are delivered as a result of the coming of the carpenters. The Amplified translation says, "But these smiths or workmen have come to terrorize them and cause them to be panic-stricken, to cast out the horns or powers of the nations who lifted up their horn against the land of Judah to scatter it." These carpenters have an anointing with power and authority to terrify and cast out these powers. The Lord is releasing the apostolic anointing in full measure upon the Church. He is raising up apostolic churches that will terrify the horns that have ruled regions for so long. Apostolic prayer, preaching, teaching, praise and worship come with tremendous amounts of power and authority to break the power of ruling spirits that have tried to hinder the growth and expansion of the Kingdom. Then I raised my eyes and looked, and behold, a man with a measuring line in his hand. So I said, "Where are you going?" And he said to me, "To measure Jerusalem, to see what is its width and what is its length." And there was the angel who talked with me, going out; and another angel was coming out to meet him, who said to him, "Run, speak to this young man, saying: 'Jerusalem shall be inhabited as towns without walls, because of the multitude of men and livestock in it'" (Zech. 2:1-4). The prophet then sees a man measuring Jerusalem. Why is the man measuring Jerusalem? Because a harvest is coming after the horns have been destroyed. Multitudes will gather in Jerusalem because the scatterers have been cast out by the carpenters. The Lord wants to know the capacity of our local churches.
