Moving in the Apostolic

Moving in the Apostolic

happening? Is this the sign that we may be nearing the final thrust in world evangelization? I believe the answer is yes. The worldwide prayer movement is releasing an apostolic spirit upon the Church. This is because prayer releases the apostolic anointing. Jesus encouraged us to pray to the Lord to send forth laborers into His harvest (see Luke 10:2). Remember, send forth is an apostolic term. This shows us the connection between prayer and the apostolic. The apostolic revolves around the concept of sending and being sent. God has always been a sending God. He sent Moses into Egypt when He heard the cries of His people in bondage. He continually sent prophets to Israel to warn them of the consequences of their rebellion. He sent John the Baptist to prepare the way of the Lord. He sent His only begotten Son to die for the sins of the world. He sent the Holy Spirit to help us and to be our Comforter. The apostolic spirit is a part of the very nature of God. Our prayers move God. He responds to our prayers by sending forth His Spirit. He sends laborers as a result of our prayers. This is why the Lord encourages us to pray. Every nation needs sent ones. The harvest is plenteous, but the laborers are few. The world needs apostolic laborers to bring in the harvest. I believe that, in response to the millions who are currently praying, more apostles and apostolic ministries will be released in this hour than ever before. In fact, I believe the greatest apostolic spirit the world has ever known is even now beginning to be released. It will be greater than what we read of in the book of Acts. The coming move of God will dwarf the acts of the apostles by comparison. It is already happening. The largest churches the world has ever known are now on the earth. There are more Christians alive today than at any other time in history There are more miracles and healings taking place than ever before. There are more apostles and prophets on the earth than ever before. We are living in apostolic times.
