The collective anointing

Ephesians chapter 4 verses 11 to 16 state that the ministry gifts were given to the congregation, and that the body is held together by the role that each joint has. This refers to the designated purpose of the ministry gifts, namely to ensure that the church, Jesus' body on earth, is held together, built up, equipped and brought into the growth whereby we can attain the fullness of Christ. In other words, there is very little about our own small ministries; that idea is not i the word of God. Rather, we find only the idea of the church. 

This is why it is so important for you with a calling to a ministry gift, that you are part of the environment in which you are meant to operate, namely the local church.  I know that there are many who have a ministry but do not find their place in the local church. This often applies to evangelists and prophets, but it does not mean that it is the way it should be! Here, the congregations have to take much of the blame for the lack of space for these ministries. But now it is new times; now the fivefold church is arising, where all the gifts of ministry will find their place and thrive and flourish in all that God has given them.

Therefore, dear preachers, you need to connect with others. You need to work in a local church and with the local church as your base. For it is through the local church that you get to share in the collective anointing that God has for his church; where one shall chase a thousand and two shall put ten thousand to flight. The difference between one and two is the collective anointing that God lets flow on his church. You will miss this if you want to go alone.

We therefore offer you to connect with New Life Apostolic Network. If you share our understanding of God's word, and long to see all that God has for his congregation, you can submit to our apostolic authority and anointing.

If this is something you want and long for, we want to get to know you better, and learn what you stand for and are involved in. We therefore ask you to fill out the application form so that we can find out more about you. Once we have received your answers, we will seek the guidance of the Holy Spirit as to whether we can connect with you.

May God bless you abundantly!

Your brother in Christ
