The Grace Apostolic Gift
The key to apostolic grace is to have the prophetic foresight to see beyond having a survival mentality and focusing on present threats.
The grace apostolic gift contains strategic prophetic foresight to imagine a new future - and how to make it a reality!
Apostles are to take dreams, visions, revelations, and prophetic scriptures and bring them into a pragmatic reality!
Apostolic leaders are God's designated change leaders.
The tyranny of the present crisis, chaos, and conflict has caused most church leaders to focus on survival as a person, family, and the ministry. When this current mess subsides or ends, many church leaders will return to their previous methods of leading, presenting, managing, etc. - but real apostolic leaders will not!
The Apostle Paul addressed the issue when he said, "But in spite of what you've done, God has fulfilled what he foretold through the prophets long ago about the sufferings of his Anointed One. And now you must repent and turn back to God so that your sins will be removed, and so that times of refreshing will stream from the Lord's presence. And he will send you Jesus, the Messiah, the chosen one for you. For he must remain in heaven until the restoration of all things has taken place, fulfilling everything that God said long ago through his holy prophets" (Acts 3:18-21).
Seek the Lord for where He has placed you in the Body of Christ - read my blog: Accurate Alignment Comes First. God will bring you times of refreshing as you align with his plan and missional purpose!
This is The Grace Apostolic Gift!
