Our minds are so brainwashed by American politics that we sometimes struggle with the simplicity of God s ways. But reading through the New Testament without denominational glasses and traditional hearing aids, we see God s ways are best. I would like to describe true apostolic ministry to help remove fear from those struggling with the past, and missing the future. Apostolic ministry fathers and mentors, not just trains and equips, loving people and ministering, the new covenant is better caught than taught. Relationships are more important than positions.
Influence is the real authority.
People become more important than power. Servant hood is exemplified by training and activating, impartation instead of just information. The plan is preparing people to be released into their God-given purpose, not held onto so they can be controlled or dominated. Trust replaces fear and intimidation. Pioneers and pilgrims flow out of an atmosphere of constant change.
