The Call of the Apostolic Ministry

The spiritual matrix of the church seems to be changing, bringing a renewed passion and declaration of God's truth. If you listen closely during apostolic services, for example, you'll notice a distinct difference in the praise and worship. This is the sound of authority and breakthrough: proclaiming Christ and declaring His will.

This change is because we have entered renewed apostolic times. These times bring about a greater level of restoration, as well as the release of apostolic grace.

We are in a period of reformation (Acts 3:19-21). The Greek word "diorthosis" means to straighten out thoroughly and return to a natural and normal condition. This signifies that we cannot enter the times of restoration without first experiencing the times of reformation. So, what does this renewed apostolic era look like? Here are some characteristics:

1. The apostolic church carries a spirit of reform and governance. This means that they are not afraid to confront and tear down religious idolatry, unproductive forms, and vain traditions within the church. Like Jeremiah in his time, they understand their authority and boldly confront spiritual darkness and delusion.

2. Apostolic churches offer identity and acceptance to individuals who have faced rejection from other churches for their spiritual beliefs. They dedicate themselves to the global advancement of Christ's cause, unafraid to confront societal giants such as religion, divination, witchcraft, racism, anti-Christ spirits, Jezebel, secular humanism, and foreign gods.

3. As already said, the worship is different from the traditional Christian songs of previous generations. These songs, however, command, decree, and proclaim, with a strong emphasis on lifting and exalting Jesus while prophetically declaring His will.

As we continue to enter this renewed apostolic reformation, we must be open and willing to embrace the changes that are taking place. This means letting go of old mindsets and ways of doing things and being open to a fresh move of the Holy Spirit.

4. The world is calling the apostolic ministry to rise and become a powerful force, bringing about reformation and transformation in every sphere of society.

In conclusion, the new sound among believers in apostolic services is a sign of the new apostolic times we are living in. With reform comes restoration, and the apostolic church is being called to confront and abolish all forms of ungodliness in the church and in the world. Let us embrace this new era and be passionate about advancing God's kingdom in every area of our lives. Discover the new sound and passion in the apostolic church as we enter a renewed era of reformation and restoration.  Let God arise and his enemies be scattered!
