The Ministry Anointing of the Apostle

The Ministry Anointing of the Apostle

until the time of reformation.

Hebrews 9:10 There are times of reformation that are predestined by the Lord. There is also a release of the apostolic anointing to bring about the changes ordained by the Lord. Religious systems that have been in place years before a reformation are the greatest enemies to a new move of God. Religious systems that need reform serve the interests of the leadership of that system, and they are usually a reformation's greatest opponents. The religious leaders during the days of Jesus and the early apostles were the Sadducees and Pharisees. They had the most to lose during a reformation: their position, power, and control over the people. The early apostles were persecuted by them in order to prevent the completion of a reformation. Apostolic Boldness And when they had prayed, the place was shaken where they were assembled together; and they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and they spake the word of God with boldness. Acts 4:31 In the midst of persecution comes apostolic boldness. Apostolic reformers are noted for their boldness in preaching the truth in spite of persecution, and even death. Intimidation is a tool of the devil to stop reformation. The enemy does not want the Church to come into the form intended by the Lord. When the Church comes into proper form, it will fulfill the plan of God in the earth. The enemy will use every method available to stop reformation, but one of his major weapons is intimidation.
