And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:
That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive; But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ:
From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love.
Ephesians 4:11-16
This is telling us who God is sending in the church for us to learn from. There is a spirit of religion that makes people doubt that this five-fold ministry is still alive and well. I assure you it is and it makes me happy to come out about being all of these. It has taken God months you convince me that I even wanted this! I want all He has got!! Some of you may have seen this coming and knew before I did… I am a hardheaded brat. Well, I was. Now, I will do everything He wants w great joy and out of love for my fellow man. He is preparing my table for those enemies He told me I’d have… I truly don’t want anyone at my table but I know that is expecting hugely. I have that #CrazyFaith tho that it is gonna take to do His work. Am I scared? Heck yeah!! Am I ready to move with Him? You betcha!! He has been waiting on me but He need not wait any longer!! I am bawling in gratitude bc I should have been His least likely candidate for this mission. I have come out of hell on fire and dripping with His oil!!
Will I be wrong? Yep, I’m still human; unfortunately. I know who the rest of y’all are w some amazing gifts to edify the church, and He is still patiently waiting on you! Don’t take too long or waste what He has given you… each talent is so we can grab more souls for the Kingdom! We have work to do, gang, get in motion and seek His face!
I knew I had the gift of prophecy but to be one of His prophets is intense. It means I am His mouthpiece and my discernment has to be spot on. He ensured it is! I met Christ and I played tug of war for many, many years. Psalm 46:10. An apostle is someone that has His message to share! A teacher shares their knowledge. I don’t really have too much and I used to be full of myself. I get what needs to be taught directly from Him and I have been warned my opinion stays out! I am obedient to great faults and I love that. I need rules and structure and He provides it. An evangelist travels sharing the gospel and their testimony – I’m so excited!! Pastors teach what God gives them and I have been one, definitely not acted like one, since the year of my death; 2012. It took Him 8 years to make me see who I am through Him… it is my choice to act on any of it. Everything is a choice and God doesn’t make us do anything. I love being filled with the Spirit!! I had to renew my mind and know I am worthy of this calling bc He said so bc I did not feel like I was. I have been beat to a pulp by people and satan making me doubt every inch of me as a person. So bad that I wanted to die on many occasions but there isn’t a prophet in the Bible that I cannot relate to. I have had to begin speaking things people aren’t going to like and give them messages from the Lord. I pray they take it to God and find out for themselves bc I am out! I am thriving in the position He has entrusted me with. I don’t matter anymore but people’s souls do!
If you’re not following my blog I recommend you do. I do not know how many times a week we will teach but I know it’s coming. I’m positive going live will occur frequently and I was so nervous about that … not anymore! Look what He has done to me!! ❤️😍🥰
