How to become a City of the Apostles

How to become a City of the Apostles

What is going to happen to our cities in the near future? First we are transitioning to the next level of city church, we are going to transition from pastoral unity to apostolic unity, and the church in the marketplace or workplace will be established, and a bridge between the church and the workplace will be built this will serve for a divine continuing transfer of wealth. –(Isa. 60)

In addition, the Holy Spirit wants your city to become a city of the apostles not just for the apostles. A city of the apostles is filled with signs and wonders and revivals. –(Acts 15:4)

We must pray to the Father asking Him to make, teach and mold us to become sensitive to the Holy Spirit, the moves of God, the time and seasons, the timely of the Lord, and Apostles and Prophets. –(1 Thess. 5:19)

We must understand there are different kinds of apostles and we need to make room for them. Pray for the Lord to rise up apostles in your city, and for Him to send apostles to your city. Pray against the enemies of the apostles and those things that could hinder their ministry. Pray for the Lord to establish a big welcome mat and for the church of the city to give them the right hand of fellowship. Apostles must be welcomed and received. We must create environment for the ministry of the apostles. –-(Matt. 10:11-15)

First and foremost your city and the church of your city needs territorial apostles or you can say city church apostles. Apostles who have vision for your city and the church of your city that are called to give leadership and vision to the church of the city. –(Prov. 29:18)

The next is horizontal apostles, which is the same as the territorial apostles; horizontal apostles are one of the broad apostolic spheres of ministry, and the territorial apostle is one of the activities of the horizontal apostle. Some horizontal apostles are called to be city church apostle and others are called to another horizontal apostolic ministry. –(1 Cor. 12:4-6)

The next we need marketplace apostles or you can say workplace apostles; these are apostles who are called to minister in the marketplace. City Apostle and marketplace apostles are most likely to lead in Social transformation of our cities. –(2 Chron. 7:14)

There are other kinds of apostles that we should acknowledge in our cities; ecclesiastical apostles, congregational apostles, hyphenated apostles, and others. –(1 Thess. 5:12-13)

Prophets are to be received in our cities before we can witness of the ministry of the apostles. Prophets will prepare the way for apostles, and apostles will build environment for the prophetic ministry of the church. Apostles and prophets are foundational, revelational, impartational, reformational, revival, and social transformation ministry to the church. –(Eph. 2:20,3:5)

Apostles are gatekeepers in our cities, and prophets are watchmen of our cities, we need them both; apostolic and prophetic ministry is to be established at the gate of the city. –(Isa. 1:26)

We must have an ear to hear what the Holy Spirit is saying to us, and we must have an ear to hear what the Holy Spirit is saying to us through His prophets about our cities, before we can even think about apostles coming to our cities. –(Amos 3:7-8)

We must understand, know, and acknowledge the apostles who are already among us, and young apostles, and those who will be apostles. However, this is hard to be done without the aid of prophetic ministry in the church. –(Gal. 2:9, 1 Sam. 16:1-13)

We will have to teach on the ministry and workings of the Apostle to give faith, and understanding in order to prepare us to receive apostles. –(Rom. 15:15)

Furthermore, we must be willing to change our mindsets, church governments, views, and ways in order to be more applicable to the ministry of the Apostle and the Holy Spirit’s ministry through the apostles to us. –(Rom. 12:2)

The Shaking has begun and the North Winds

Prophetic words that the Lord is speaking from I-35 in Minneapolis Minnesota USA, and Russia putting claims on the North Pole and seeking for oil; these are prophetic signs that the Lord is speaking to us through these events.

First and foremost the Lord is building the Highway of Holiness as it is spoken of in Isaiah 35.

The man made buildings of the church are weak and will fail, they will fall; the Lord will build His house, the Lord will arise up His church. New Wineskins will arise. The Apostolic Church will arise; the apostolic city church will arise.

In addition, shaking that is coming, there is a shaking that has already begun; it first came as a lamb, now it will come as a lion, and then a horse, this is the reformation of the Church. The work of reformation is a work of becoming pure gold, pearls and precious stones.

The bridges of unity are weak and will fail, the Lord will build stronger bridges of unity, and the Lord will build a bridge of apostolic unity, and arise up the apostolic city church.

The Lord will build highways and bridges of salvation in according to Isaiah 49:8-12.

It is time to go to highways and byways around the world meaning the marketplace and the workplace. –(Matthew 22:9

The I-35 bridge fallen over the Mississippi river meaning the man ways and bridges to revival will fail and will not work, the Lord will built a more better bridges to revivals, and replace the others that will fall and be removed. The Lord showed me a revival that will come and touch every state where the Mississippi river touches.

The shaking has begun in the church and in the world, and even in America, and through this the Church will arise and Kingdom of God will move forth and increase.

Russia putting claims on the North Pole and seeking for oil. This is a prophetic sign that the North winds of Holy Spirit will begin to blow upon the nations, first and foremost Russia, Europe, and America, and then the rest of the world, The North winds of the Holy Spirit are the cleansing winds of the Spirit.

In a vision I see the Roundtable Meeting of Seated Apostles and Seated Prophets. I hear and see them cry, the water that comes from their eyes begun to flow throughout the world. I see this waters bring life to those who believe however; to those who are religion it brings death to them.

I see a vision of an angel of fire with a sword in his right hand and a sword in his other hand. This angel says I will bring fire to the houses of religion, I will bring confusion, divisions, battles, I will remove their peace, and they will no longer have peace. I will remove their joy they will no longer have joy. I will remove their blessings; they will no longer be blessed. I will cut them down, I will root them out, I will humbly them, and I will open their hearts to the voice of the Holy Spirit. I will bring an end to their ways, I will build roadblocks in their ways, and I will hinder them.

Then this angel said I go to the houses of the Spirit, and I will bless them, I will give them blessings, I will give them joy, I will give them unity, I will give them life, I will open wide their doors and gates, I will open wide their ways and paths. I will raise them up all over the world, and I will give them fire.

Now I see a vision of the Great Mountain, which is the Kingdom of God. The seated apostles and the seated prophets in a vision went and walked upon this Great Mountain. However, we could not see the church, the church was hidden, and the Holy Spirit says the church is in invisible to many church leaders around the world, the vision of the church must first be in your heart, and the revelation of the church must first be in your heart, before you can see the city of God.

Now I see a key giving to me, this key is called prophecy. The Holy Spirit says prophecy is the key to these three doors that I shall open wide throughout the church around the world, and nations of the world for my people.

I took hold of this key of prophecy, and draw these three huge doors in the ground of this Great Mountain, and then life came upon these three drawings and these three doors stood upright upon this Great Mountain.

I these three doors open wide over all the church around the world. From these three doors came three rivers that flow throughout the church and the world.

The first Door that open wide was the door of apostles, prophets, the apostolic church, the apostolic reformation, revival, signs and wonders, the city church. This door shall be open wide to the apostles and prophets around the world.

The Second Door open wide was the door of Christian Freedom and liberty. Freedom and liberty for all Christians will come to all nations and cities around the world. Freedom to witness, freedom to worship, freedom to gather, freedom to prosper, freedom to live in peace and protection, and freedom to have rights.

The Third Door open wide was the door of blessings. The door of blessings shall open wide upon the church, upon the beilevers, upon the ministers, and the believers in the workplace all over the world.

Now I see a vision in my heart, and it is the vision of the city of God, the church around the world. This vision grows and increases, this city was huge and always grows, and always grows up and around in every side from the north, to the south, from east to the west. The gates were so huge, and so glorious that you could stand at these gates all day long, but when you enter into this city, the glory is so great and the light was so great that love flow pure in your heart. This is the vision of the church around the world.

In a vision I see the roundtable meeting of the Seated Apostles and Seated prophets. I hear the voice of the Lord Jesus Christ saying I have call you all hear to hear my mind, and hear the heart of the Father. For you all will have one mind, which is the mind of Christ, and you will only have one heart, which is the heart of the Father.

The Holy Spirit then says to them, these things that I speak in these prophecies will begin to come to pass, and will continue to come to pass in this generation and then next generations. The signs of these prophetic words coming to pass will be the coming wealth; the signs of an apostle, revival, and the lion of reformation will be Release upon the church.

I see vision of the ocean of souls; The Holy Spirit says this ocean will fill with the activity of the Holy Spirit, I see a vision of ships coming across from city called the church. Built upon a great mountain called the Kingdom of God. These ships have come to gather the souls, these ships shall be full of these souls, and the times are coming for the great fishing of souls to begun.

I see a vision of an ocean of glory, the Holy Spirit says this is the coming glory, this is the coming acts of the Holy Spirit, this is the coming movements of the Holy Spirit, This is the coming revivals of the Holy Spirit, and I see gateway cities and these movements of the Holy Spirit are coming to footsteps of these gateway cities.

Now I see a vision of eagles and other like kind of birds flying above us, and I see great birds flying also above us. Then these birds fly over the ocean of souls and the ocean of glory, these birds then turn into water and poured into these two oceans.

I see from the footsteps of these gateway cities, came out from the two oceans men and women of God, these were the coming apostles that are coming to the gate cities, gateways cities, a certain set aside cities, and other divine cities.

I see these huge gates of these cities shut up, none goes in, and none goes out. I see these apostles with rods in there hands, call forth the believers that have an ear to hear, they come to gates of these cities, and open the gates to these apostles. It seems an anointing flows upon and among, and in the city as these gates open up to these apostles.

The Holy Spirit says to these apostles who are called to the gateway cities, and other cities around the world. I will open wide these gates for you; I will bring those who are called to labor with you by your side, and the apostolic anointing and apostolic grace will come upon these cities.

Those who have close these gates, I will close their gates, those who open these gates, and I will open their gates. I will bless these cities will open gates of the Kingdom of God.

I will bless these cities with open gates of:

The Gates of the Kingdom of God.

The Gates of the Forces of Wealth.

The Gates of the Kingdom of Heaven.

The Gates of the Throne Room.

The Gates of the Holy Spirit.

The Gates of the Church.

The Gates of Winds of Heaven, Kingdom, and the Holy Spirit.

The Holy Spirit says I will bless these cities with the city church, I will increase the church a 100fold, I will bring forth the 100fold anointing of growth and increase of the Church. I will rise up apostles and prophets, I will rise up a company of intercessors, I will rise up a marketplace army in these cities, and I will rise up marketplace apostles.

I see a vision of the church of these cities, the church is so huge, and that it seems that the church and the city are the same, that the city is in the church, and that the church is in the city.

This is a vision of the church around the world in the gateway cities of the world.

Then we hear the voice of the Father, He said He desires to pour out His love, mercy, goodness, and His plans upon the world, however He is waiting for His apostles and Prophets be set in their place all over the world, then this to begun.

In vision I see the roundtable meeting of the seated apostles and prophets. I see them in prayer, intercession, and supplication for the church, for the Kingdom and for the nations and cities around the world.

I see a vision of a seed that as already been planted. It has been planted in the hearts of apostles and prophets in the church around the world. I see from this seed roots grow forth in their hearts and in the hearts of many believers in Christ, I hear the voice of the Holy Spirit saying these are the company of believers who are called the faithful and the fruitful. From this seed grow the roots, and from this seed begun to come forth the new apostolic city church in many cities around the world, and then in all cities around the world. This is a great movement of movements of all time.

Now I see a vision of a greater seed, this is the seed of life to all other seeds and plants of God. This seed was planted by Christ in the hearts of the first fruits, now in this generation the last will be first, and the first will be last, will come a generation of a new first fruits of the seed that Christ planted. This is greater then all things, all movements, greater then the church and the world. This seed has been growing and increasing throughout the world since Christ planted this seed long ago in the hearts of the first fruits. What is this seed? This seed is the Kingdom of God.

I see a vision of a seed planted in believers around the world, this seed is the marketplace church, this seed is a forerunner for many social transformations that is coming upon many nations, many cities around the world, and this seed is a forerunner for a life of social transformation to always be, grow and increase.

I see a vision of a seed that has been planted, this seed is called the new apostolic church, and this seed will grow into a living vine, and will become many vines into one vine. This vine will connect around the seed of the new apostolic city church, seed of the marketplace church, and the seed of the Kingdom of God.

I see a vision of gates of praise being built all over the church around the world, and I see walls of salvation be built all over the church around the world.

I see vision of gates that begun to widening by the will of God, the acts of the Holy Spirit and prayers of the saints.

I see a gate widen over India. I see many, many, many, many, great numbers coming, coming, and coming to the Lord. It is like mighty rivers of souls coming into the church.

I see Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Bhutan, Afghanistan, Maldives, Bangladesh, and Nepal. Begun to open wide to the gospel, I hear these words is this revival, then I hear the Holy Spirit say this is life.

I see a gate widen, widen more, widen even more over China. I see great huge numbers flowing into the church. I see so great numbers of souls, I rejoice then the Holy Spirit says see I hear your prayers.

I see Taiwan, Mongolia, Hong Kong, Macao, Japan, North Korea, South Korea, Burma, Laos, Vietnam, Thailand, Cambodia, Malaysia, Singapore, Philippines, Indonesia, Brunei, and Papua New Guinea, These nations open to the gospel, and the freedom of the Spirit, I see great harvests of soul coming out of these nations, The Holy Spirit says I decided to take over these nations, and bring many to Christ, and raise up the church to new levels in Christ.

Then I hear these words from the Holy Spirit; this is only the beginning.

The Holy Spirit is flowing a prophetic river of prayer through many intercessors around the world, this prophetic river of prayer is increasing and windows are opening over these faithful prayer warriors, and tastes of what is coming is coming upon them.

In a vision I see the roundtable meeting of seated apostles and prophets, I see them seeing revelations, visions, and prophecy, and then I see them praying making intercession, and supplication. I see a vision of the Godhead in their midst, the manifestation of the Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit is upon them, and among them, they are in fellowship with the Throne Room, and I see a vision of the Bride of Christ in the presence of the seated apostles and prophets.

I see a vision of the Church around the world; I see many clouds of glory, and of the Spirit over the church, I see many pillars of clouds and many pillars of fire. I see a huge and great cloud that will cover the whole church, and from this huge and great cloud will come rains, fires, rivers, anointings, blessings, and movements of God. I ask the Lord what is this huge and great cloud, and He said this is the anointing and grace of the open heaven over the whole church.

I see a vision of a greater company of prophets that will come forth, but they will love and hear the other prophets from other prophetic movements of the Holy Spirit.

I see vision into this holy company of prophets. I see vision of prophets who stand upon their watch post faithfully; these are like Habakkuk, Haggle, and Malachi. The next ones I see are like Daniel in governments. The third are like Samuel in reformation, the forth are like Agabus in networking, the fifth is signs prophets in signs and wonders, sixth is revival prophets in revival, and the seventh are is missionary prophets, that minister to the nations. All these prophets are one on the Lord.

Then I see a vision of a coming company of holy apostles that come forth, Abraham an apostle to nations, Joseph an apostle to the marketplace, Moses an apostle in reformation, Solomon an apostle in building the houses of the Lord, Ezra an apostle of the house of the Lord, and Nehemiah an apostle of the city, and the revival apostle, all these apostles had the signs of an apostles as an river of life. All these apostles are on in the Lord.

I see these two companies become one in fellowship, the prophets submit to the apostles, and the apostles hear the prophets. This is a foundational movement of the Spirit. The Lord wants to establish an international global foundation of the apostles and the prophets in the church around the world.

I see a vision of the church around the world: I see the church around the world as a city of light built upon a great mountain called the Kingdom of God. I see this city of God raise up in every city, in every nation, in glory, revival, in reformation, in signs and wonders, in revelation, in prophetic, in unity, in vision, and in anointing.

I see the gates of hell and the gates of kingdom of darkness begin to fall all over the world, those gates and doors of hell and the kingdom of darkness will no longer stand before the church.

I see a vision of certain nations that has stood against the church for years, will become a plain before the Lord, and these governments will become clay in the hands of the saints.

I see a vision of seven mountains before the church, and I see the Kingdom of God arise in the hearts of the saints in all nations, and I see the Kingdom of God become greater then these mountains, and these mountains become nothing before the Great Mountain called the Kingdom of God, and The Kingdom of God took over these functions, and these function became holy before the world, and the kings of the Kingdom rule over these mountains, and these kingdoms become the kingdoms of our Christ in the Kingdom of God, and these mountains became fruitful in the Lord.

Now I see a vision of the Church around the world; I see 12 likenesses coming to the church around the world. Likeness in reformation, likeness in revival, likeness in unity, likeness in prayer, likeness in the city church, likeness in the Kingdom, likeness in the apostolic, likeness in the prophetic, likeness in signs and wonders, likeness in harvest, likeness in worship, likeness in marketplace. These 12 likenesses are like banners of the Lord over the church around the world.

The Church around the world will arise and become great; there will be more growth, more increase, and more maturity then any other generation before this one. The church grows inside in maturity and the church grows outward an increase.

I see a vision of the church around the world, The Church shall become a moving rock of grace and supernatural, the world will become an river of anointing, that this moving rock can move upon, and I see ships on this and I see the church becoming like a rock and then hitting these ships, and all things on these ships was taking upon the moving rock.

I see a vision of the church like moving block of ice, not moving by the ocean of humanity, instead moving by the wind of the Holy Spirit, and any ship flowing upon the ocean of humanity will be hit by this block of ice and all things on these ships will belong to the church.

I see a vision of the church like a block of ice flowing by the winds of the Holy Spirit upon the ocean of humanity and this great block of ice begun to melt upon the ocean of humanity and the ocean of humanity begun to change the water of the ocean of humanity begun to change. The water from the block of ice filled the whole ocean of humanity.

I see a vision of the church is like a block of ice; this block of ice is filled with the water of life, and wine of revelation, and the blood of Christ. As this block of ice begin to melt into the ocean of humanity of the world begun to change under the pressures of the Presence of the Lord.

The Holy Spirit say the church around the world will change and never be the same, the church today, the church in the past, will not be the church that will come in this generation, the whole church will not be anything like the church today within a generation. If you seen this church today you will not be say it is a church in your mindset, but the Lord will say this is His church.
