The Question: Could there be Apostles in 2025 or the future?
Fall 2013, I had about an average understanding of the Bible for a life long Christian. I didn't know much. I received a Prophetic Calling. I didn't know what a prophet was. I knew Moses and Jesus were prophets. I didn't know what was required of me. I looked it up. I internet searched "prophets," and related things, and quickly found some answers.
Article: "Picture of a Prophet" by Leonard Ravenhill
Articles: "Ministry of a Prophet" from Kingdom Watchers Website.
These are the only two sources I have used on a Prophetic Ministry. These sources were a starting point for understanding. The authors have tended to be right a lot.
Experiencing the Spiritual, and learning to see like being Seer, that brought me more inline with Traditional Catholics.
I suppose that following "Ministry of a Prophet" from Kingdom Watchers Website makes me part of a Five Fold Ministry. (Ephesians 4:11) I have been living like a hermit, more or less, since 2014. I have not been part of a Church. I have been in hermit Christianity.
There have been Churches that are a Five Fold Ministry. Some of them may have been off or wrong. I am not really associated with them, that is, in communication with, or have anything to do with. There is a loose theological connection, and potentially a prophetic one, where there may have been men with the Gift of Prophecy that were talking with God, or receiving from God. You may know them by their fruit.
I have been working to build The Kingdom of God. The Kingdom of God has particular values. Given The Orthodox Church says "Everyone in our Church is part of the Kingdom of God," I would point out that they have known God's Judgement of War, Famine, and Plague, and haven't been working to build Kingdom of God values in a satisfactory and constructive way.
The Kingdom of God may mean that The Greater Church comes back together at some point. This happens through God's Holy Spirit.
Could there be Apostles in a potential Church? There cannot be apostles without prophets. Prophets may have acted as sheepdogs, kicking out the wolves in sheep's clothing. A prophet may have been a standard bearer. I received a calling around the age of 30. (Luke 3:23) A man around the age of 30 should have been in the middle of his career, or making something of himself. God called me, and I started working for God full time. An apostle builds churches. Someone called into an Apostolic ministry could have been an experienced Christian who had proven a connection with God, and had grown in faith. An Apostle could have been someone in their 20's to a Church elder. You can't have apostles without prophets.
In the calling of a prophet, there may have been authority. In fights over authority, in the Early Church, some wrong people may have ended up in authority. They would have been threatened by a prophet. The Early Church became "Apostolic." The Church institutionalized the office of an Apostle, and the authority thereof, within the Church.
Could there be Apostles? It is possible. The goal is The Kingdom of God. The Kingdom of God means that the Greater Church is coming back together. For there to be a Apostles in a Church, they may have need to be an established prophetic ministry in a legit way, where the prophets were doing the right things. Does such a Church exit? We can tell in ugly backwards ways, off of Satan, that at this time, there hasn't been. They would be hated and targeted. All the Secular Humanists, and Reddit echo chamber people, they would be complaining about said Church. Also, people may have been drawn to the Church, that is, the Church was of The Spirit of God, and it was very clear, and some awesome things were happening.
Question: Have their been other prophet more recently?
ReplyDeleteYes. I have seen or found evidence of some.
Sometimes, God hides his men.
Sometimes, men of God have been forced out of the Church.
There may have been prophets in the Catholic Church, historically. They just didn't talk about being in that calling. Being really black and white, and potentially rubbing authority figures wrong, they potentially were ordered to be cloistered or ended up dead in a ditch somewhere, unremembered.
The Kingdom of God happens where men are obedient to The Lord Jesus Christ, doing God's will.
ReplyDeleteIn the US Army, in 1980, there was a chain of command. The Chain of Command starts with the President, the Commander and Chief, and there is delegated authority. A general received delegated authority from the Command and Chief. A colonel, a lieutenant, even a buck sergeant, they were receiving delegated authority from the President. In 1980, given a Colonel, was a Communist Spy, that hurts everyone below him in the Chain of Command. In a similar way, given a Bishop or Priest was off, that hurts everyone below them.
The Kingdom of God is happens where men are obedient to The Lord Jesus Christ, doing God's Will. Satan's goal was that man serve "Anything other than God."
Jesuit Fr James Martin has been part of a Secular Humanist, LGBT heresy. Given The Catholic Church was keeping the standards, he should be excommunicated. The fact that he hasn't been, among other things, suggest there is problems in the Catholic Chain of Command.
