Moving in the Apostolic

Joel prophesied about restoration of the harvest. I believe this is also a prophetic word about the restoration of apostolic ministry, because Jesus connected the harvest to the apostolic. We will see a harvest of souls in this day that will surpass the number of souls that came into the Church during its entire first 2,000 years. Much of the harvest has been eaten away because of the lack of apostolic ministry. Therefore, restoration of this ministry is necessary to reap the harvest and fulfill Joel's prophecy. The Lord is restoring this ministry, and with it the ability to labor under difficult circumstances if necessary to bring in the harvest. Nothing can deter or stop the apostolic; it labors by grace in spite of difficult and often impossible circumstances. It presses through obstacles and brings in the harvest. It overcomes the tiredness and weariness that would stop most people. This anointing releases a supernatural ability to labor in any situation.

T HE L ORD PUTS HONOR UPON THE PART OF THE BODY THAT LACKS . H E IS PRESENTLY HONORING THE OFFICE OF THE APOSTLE IN THIS HOUR .

The apostle Peter preached about the times of restoration or restitution, spoken by the prophets since the world began (see Acts 3:21). He stated that heaven will receive our Lord until the times of restoration of all things is complete. There are seasons in which the Lord magnifies certain offices and restores them to the Church. Although to some degree all of the anointings and offices have been in operation since the Early Church, I am referring to the office being restored in its fullness. There have always been those who have ministered as apostles throughout the history of the Church. The Lord, however, is restoring this office in such a way that many will be raised up to minister as apostles in the last days. The Lord puts honor upon the part of the Body that lacks (see 1 Cor. 12:24). The Lord is presently honoring the office of the apostle by placing His glory upon it for this hour.
