The Ministry Anointing of the Apostle

The Ministry Anointing of the Apostle

so simple. First means first , second means second , third means third. It is as easy as one, two, three. Another definition of first is foremost. The w ord foremost means first in a series or progression; of first rank or position. When the office of the Apostle is not recognized as foremost, the Church will end up in serious trouble. The 20th Century has been a century of divine destiny for the Body of Christ. It has seen a great restoration of the offices and anointing that God has set in the Church. The order of this restoration has been the first restored last, and the last restored first. The first thing restored to the Church in the beginning of the twentieth century was diversities of tongues. This occurred with the outpouring of the Holy Spirit at Azusa in Los Angeles, California. Helps and governments followed with the establishing and structuring of many Pentecostal fellowships to continue the move of the Holy Spirit. The 1940s and 1950s saw a restoration of healing and miracles with the evangelist. The restoration of the teacher came in the 1970s. This was followed by a strong move of the prophetic office in the 1980s. Now, we are seeing restoration of the office of Apostle as we come into the 21st Century. The first office set in the Church by God is the last to be restored in its fullness. The apostle Peter preached about the times of restitution, spoken of by the prophets since the world began (Acts 3:21). There are seasons in the Spirit in which the Lord magnifies certain offices and their anointings and restores them to the Church. Although all of these anointings have been in operation since the day of Pentecost to some degree, I am referring to the Office being restored in its fullness.
