The Ministry Anointing of the Apostle

Spiritual Pioneers

Opening New Regions to the Word of God And the word of the Lord was published throughout all the region. Acts 13:49 To preach the gospel in the regions beyond you, and not to boast in another man's line of things made ready to our hand. 2 Corinthians 10:16 Some will say our city already has enough churches, and we need to revive the already existing ones. But many of the existing ones will not receive revival and often fight against a fresh wave of the Holy Spirit. Many of the present churches in our cities are ineffective. This is why I don't look at the number of churches in an area, but the number that are having an IMPACT! Often the number is a few to almost none. This is why apostolic ministry is so needed— to plant effective, powerful churches that will have an impact! Before a region opens up to the gospel, the strongman must first be bound. This strongman is a principality that rules over a certain geographical area. The "goods" are the souls that are being influenced and controlled by this ruling spirit to keep them from the truth. Apostles can go into new regions and break through the spiritual resistance by binding this strongman. The strongman is bound through the preaching and teaching of the Apostle. The apostles then establish new churches, new truth, and new revelation in these areas. Even where there are already churches in existence, an Apostle can come in and establish new truth. Often the strongmen in these areas are spirits of Religion and Tradition.
