NEW

There is a changing of the guards that is taking place in the world and we are about to see changes happen as well in the church. These transitions of power and authority are for the purpose of Kingdom advancement and expansion for those who are the next new guards. I believe that 2 there cannot be present day revivals, reformations and restorations without Holy Spirit filled revivalists, reformers and catalysts. There is much shaking and shifting that is taking place in the spirit and these adjustments are to position and thrust the next leadership into their purpose, position and destiny. The church is entering into something far greater than what we have encountered in previous generations. In Habakkuk 1:5 it says “Look among the nations and watch, be utterly astounded! For I will work a work in your days which you would not believe, though it were told you”. The prophetic intercessors have been praying and sensing something supernatural is on the horizon. Heaven is buzzing with something fresh, new and innovative that the world will not be ready for. Moreover, we have been hearing prophets declaring and prophesying that God is about to do something new and unprecedented. In 2008, we have heard many presidential hopeful speeches about change and hope that will come, but there has not been much change nor has there been any hope. These messages of hope ignited a movement of young people who believed in the message; cast their votes and desperately waited for change to come. I believe it was a type and shadow of what is about to become a prophetic reality in the 21st century church than in the world system.

 

Likewise, the apostles and prophets have been doing the same thing in the Kingdom. They have been proclaiming prophetic messages of hope and change that is coming forth in the church and it has ignited a movement of apostolic and prophetic young people all over the globe to respond to the clarion call in the spirit. The message of the Kingdom is the only hope and message of change. God is catapulting the next generation of leaders to the forefront of what He is doing in the earth. These apostolic and prophetic freshmen’s will need the support of senior apostles and prophets in their lives for development, maturation, affirmation and longevity. Moreover, there are many social ills that are plaguing the world and many are looking for answers to those current conditions and problems. The world has been looking to psychics, new age movements, occults and civil governments for counsel and answers. The only answer to a desperate world is Christ Jesus. The bible says that God so loved the world that He sent His only son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life, for God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world but in order that the world might be saved through him (John 3:16-17). This apostolic next generation will carry this same burden and mission to change their world for the better. It was a burden in the heart of Jesus when He prayed to the Heavenly Father who sent Him into the world. Jesus prayed that His disciples will have the same burden in their hearts when He sent them into the world and for their sake Jesus consecrates Himself that His disciples may be sanctified in truth (John 17:18-19).

 

I believe the Lord is raising up new guards of leadership who will be standard bearers of truth. These new young leaders will be consecrated vessels of truth and honor. The bible says that the Kingdom of the world has become the Kingdom of our Lord and of His Christ and He shall reign forever and ever (Rev 11:15). I believe God is burning a desire in the hearts of the apostolic next generation to do something radical, unusual and unfamiliar. There is a cry in prayer across America and other nations of the world for change and God is sending out His laborers into His harvest to bring that revolutionary change. Moreover, as the restoration of apostles and prophets are being restored back to the church, we are also seeing young emerging apostles and prophets 3 being raised alongside fathering apostles. These senior apostles are fathering fathers and they are sharing their wealth of wisdom and resources which will help them fulfill their calling and mandate (I Cor 4:15). In addition, these young apostolic fathers are learning quickly and are very much involved with their own spiritual children and releasing them into their callings (Romans 1:11).

 

The next apostolic leadership will possess great-grace, wisdom, extraordinary gifting and anointing to fulfill their apostolic work (Acts 4:33). I believe that in the days to come were going to see mega- apostolic leaders, churches, ministries and businesses come forth with mantles of creativity and originality. We will no longer see apostolic “mom and pop” operated storefront churches, ministries or businesses in the 21st century. We are going to see strong growing, praying, fasting, apostolic five-fold ministry bases and distribution (sending) centers that will have kingdom influence, affluence and strategy to reach a global market. The next generation of leaders will have the character, grace, tenacity, strength and cutting edge mentality to breakthrough in territories and regions that needs reformation desperately. The words “no” and “cannot” will not be in their vocabularies (Acts 13:49).

 

It’s imperative in every generation that apostolic people are raised up and deployed by the Holy Spirit to preach the Kingdom and go therefore and make disciples of all nations (Matthew 28:19). The bible says that it’s God’s pleasure to give us the Kingdom (Luke 12:32). Furthermore, through the power of the Kingdom a believer can preach to the poor, cast out devils, heal the sick, bring sight to the blind, liberate others and declare the acceptable year of the Lord (Matthew 12:28;Luke 4:18-19;11:20).Consequently, if the church does not understand the concepts of the Kingdom of God and its purpose and relevance, than we are missing the true essence of redemption, dominion, liberty, salvation, reconciliation and the principles of living abundantly in His invisible Kingdom right NOW on earth.
