Tough Times Require Strong Apostolic Leaders

The challenges of adversity will sharpen – must sharpen - our discernment. The Church/Ekklesia faces increasing adversity from the woke liberal leftist movement. Now is the time for those in the apostolic movement to awaken and stand - As One - wielding the double-edged sword of God's Word in the Logos and Rhema of the Holy Spirit! 

“For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart” (Heb. 4:12).  

Apostolic leaders must also view the challenges of adversity as an opportunity to sharpen their discernment: is the adversity a challenge for personal growth - or an attack by the enemy?   Those who know it's a personal challenge from God will embrace it and do what is needed to change: Heb. 12:1.

 If it's an ungodly challenge - apostolic leaders are led by the Holy Spirit to wage spiritual warfare and overcome it: 2 Cor. 10:2-3.    

 Those who see adversity as a challenge to overcome - will rise up, stand up, and with courageous faith - challenge the adversity!

Those who see adversity as overwhelming - will be paralyzed to act.

 Those who ignore adversity - will be overcome by it.  

 Apostolic Leaders embrace the challenge – discern where it comes from – and take Action! 

“Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us… “(Heb. 12:1)
