Apostolic Coverings Continued from previous page
My spirit bears witness to this same activity going on in our midst -- maybe more so now than ever before in my lifetime. Men are appointing other men to these positions of
apostleship... and then validating them, by commanding the sheep to receive these as "apostles"... many are making alliances now, but are they by the Spirit?
I believe there is a warning that needs to be expressed... The reality of a truly "sent-by-God-ones" authority will be manifested even if all of Christendom rejects his calling...and in fact, most of Christian History declares that those "sent-ones" during their own lifetime, are NOT ACCEPTED by the multitude.. only after their death, is their "apostleship" accepted. This has happened too many times to not recognize part of God's Way of using a man, is to take from him, all other man's approval and validation.. causing him to live in direct dependence for that 'approval' only from God!
Yet this man's gift will still make room for him -- even in the midst of rejection. God will
empower those He sends.. and this reality of His Anointing will not be questioned, nor will this one "demand" submission to him... He will proclaim the Sovereign LORD, and become the willing servant of all men, just as Paul has declared. Men lead men after themselves... apostles lead men to Christ.
