Jesus it's good to be back home and to sleep in my own bed for a couple days and get my bags repacked for another trip. But we had the privilege to be with pastor, friend and date in Ohio this Sunday morning and we had such a great move of the Holy Ghost. At least 10 were filled with the gift of the Holy Ghost about five were baptized in Jesus name on Sunday. Two more are being baptized on Tuesday 25 people testified a miracle 25 people testified a miracle.

Speaker 1: 2:40

God is surely doing a global work that we are witnessing with our own eyes so exciting to see what God is doing in these last days, and it's such a joy to be a part of this global apostolic mentoring family we look forward to seeing each one of you every week and it just seems like our hearts keep getting knit even tighter together and to hear from each one of you.

Speaker 1: 3:30

I get text messages and emails from all of you about what the Lord is doing in your area, and it is such a thrill to just be a part of this family.

Speaker 1: 3:47

I want to encourage everybody to get connected with the community on youtube, on the channel for the apostolic motor it would help us if all of our facebook and instagram family would just go over to youtube and subscribe to our channel. We have nearly 400 apostolic mentoring uh that are already posted on this channel. It is multilingual, with all of the spanish, german, french, norwegian episodes already posted. All the portuguese is on there, and so you want to go check that. We've also connected the podcast to the youtube channel so you can download every podcast directly from that as well but we deeply, deeply appreciate each one of your support for apostolic mentoring and and your perpetuating of this kingdom vision of equipping millions to reach billions.

Speaker 1: 5:24

It has been so exciting to be a part of this uh, just start of the year studying the fivefold ministry, or, as dr jackson likes to call it, the, the fivefold gifting oh my goodness, I can't tell you.

Speaker 2: 5:48

Oh my goodness, I can't tell you how many text messages and emails we have gotten about how this, this study of this, these apostolic ministries, has impacted so many believers around the world we can tell you how many messages we have received that have already told us how they have impacted so many people in the world and I know all of you feel as I do and I know you feel, all of you feel as I do we are like chomping at the bit to get our hands on dr jackson's book we are like chomping at the bit to get our hands on dr jackson's book it is a kingdom critical resource for the greatest hour of the church.

Speaker 1: 6:39

None of us know the title of the book yet. I'm not even sure dr jackson knows the title of the book I've been getting text messages about title ideas and the titles are getting better and the titles are getting better and I have been bouncing the titles off of different people as I've been traveling to see what they thought in fact, I'm not going to tell you any of the titles, because I don't know if we're sticking with any of them.

Speaker 1: 7:24

I don't know if we're sticking with any of them, but I do know this even if that book gets published with a blank cover, it's going to be the most critical movement has ever had we absolutely love, we absolutely love dr jackson and his precious wife and their family every session that we get to have with dr jackson. I am literally just my heart is pounding fast because I know god is using him to make us better as believers and make us better as a church every session we have, it's active for everyone.

Speaker 1: 8:17

We have received as believers and and I know that's everybody's passion as well. We just want to be better. We want to do what god wants us to do. So, doc, we love you so much. Thank you for five. I've been the last five months having you on epistel. Mentoring has just been a game changer for me personally and I I know that it's changing god's global church for the better, and we love you. Sir, please take your take your freedom.

Speaker 1: 10:11

I believe you are muted doc, this is only five months in, but you really you should already know you have to unmute yourself, doc I apologize.

Speaker 3: 10:24

I apologize for that. It's so wonderful to be with you again and I wish to thank brother robinette for all of his assistance with the title I want to thank the pastor bennett for and all sincerity, I wish for each of you to pray that the editing will be done quickly by the publisher some of you, precious saints from this community, have volunteered your services certain of you from this community are offered for the translation and I have not forgotten your kind offers I don't forget your kind offers I just have to wait until the english copy is finished english is done and then we will begin with other language translations, but I wish for you to pray.

Speaker 3: 11:29

Brother robinette has said we want this book to make a difference and I want to thank him and you for this opportunity to be with you. It has become a highlight of each month for me.

Speaker 2: 11:48

I'm trying to teach slowly so that my time won't come to an end and I'll try to teach slowly until the time is over, so I can come back to another session so I hope that I'll get to attend and also be a guest speaker from time to time, because you are contributing such value to me and I hope to be able to come back to teach at another time, because you contribute so much for me your prayers of intercession and your passion for the kingdom of god is infectious and it has made us all and you have already made the book better because, as I prepare for these sessions and respond to your passion for god, it has helped me and you have already improved the book isn't this just like the kingdom of god?

Speaker 2: 12:47

isn't this just like the kingdom of god? When we love one another and we love our king all of us together, we are going to go through this glory that is what's so wonderful about the lord that's what's so wonderful about the lord he said that we are seated together in heavenly places in christ. This is what the apostle paul said and when the apostle paul said we are sitting together in the place of the the great difference between the culture of the world and the culture of our christ and the culture of the world.

Speaker 3: 13:28

In order for me to become elevated, I need for you to be lowered. This is the way that I feel above you, because I rise above and you sink beneath this is the culture of the world and the kingdom of satan, but in the kingdom of god we all rise together when god elevates a saint, he elevates the whole body together so there's no such thing as looking down on one another.

Speaker 3: 14:14

Each of us looks up to our wonderful lord and we are raised from glory to glory with him amen amen, I want to begin our teaching today and move through it very quickly and I will begin by briefly reviewing, and I will begin by briefly reviewing you I apologize, it's uh. One moment please. Today, I want to speak to you about some essentials. These are non-negotiable characteristics that we must have. Please hear me very clearly, no matter what your apostolic gifting is if you do not have apostolic character, you will fail.

Speaker 3: 15:34

We want the gifts of our Lord but it is much more important to have the character of our Lord. There is much focus today in the contemporary church on the giftings that God gives.

Speaker 2: 15:54

This is appropriate.

Speaker 3: 15:56

But today I want to speak to you about the character of our Lord, and this is even more important. Let's remember that in theology not only flowers and fruit grow, but weeds grow In the garden of our God. We must weed out negative and bad thoughts. We all have to weed out bad attitudes and bad doctrines in order that the good things of God can grow in our churches and in our nations and in our hearts.

Speaker 3: 16:50

Remember that we reviewed the scripture from Hebrews 2 and 1. The apostle warned the church to not allow the things of God to slip, and we saw that after the New Testament, church had received the power of God and we saw that there was a decline of biblical truth. The church became in love with things around them, in the culture and this included the wisdom of men.

Speaker 3: 17:42

They stopped being apostolic and they became philosophic. They also became in love with the power of the Roman government and the civil government around them, and they wanted this power. And rather than being prophetic, they became political. I am not just giving you a history lesson today. There was once said that those who do not know history are doomed to repeat it. I give you a strong warning today church, these same principles are in effect today. We must not allow the power of the spirit to be absent from our churches or our lives. It is incredibly important that we study, but we must also make room for the operation of the spirit.

Speaker 2: 18:57

It is important for us to study, but we must also give space to the instruction of the spirit.

Speaker 3: 19:04

It is important that we are organized, but we also must make room for the prophetic word of God to speak to us in ways that we may not understand. Without this freedom of the spirit, we cease to be the body of Christ and we just become another group of people, just to rip. Amante, you're doing a wonderful job, thank you. Now I'm happy to tell you that in history, god did not leave his church in the dark. There were two elements that led the church back to truth.

Speaker 2: 20:00

The primacy of the word of God and the power of the spirit.

Speaker 3: 20:06

This is what drove the Reformation in Western churches. We would be wise today to continue to emphasize these elements. We must emphasize the primacy of the word of God and as a pastor Robinette just told us about this weekend. We must have the continual power of the spirit.

Speaker 2: 20:43

This will protect us from the errors of men because the word is forever settled and the spirit is ever drawing toward our Lord.

Speaker 3: 20:58

Through history we see that there were many groups that led us back toward truth. The Methodist church experienced the power of the spirit when it first started. The Baptist churches showed us again that it was necessary to baptize professing believers by immersion. They also had a great zeal from missionary activities. They also reintroduced the instruction of children in the church, the process that we call Sunday school. We inherited from Baptist believers, the Holiness movement of the late 19th century in North America reminded us that God cares about our behavior, god cares about our appearance, god cares about our speech.

Speaker 3: 22:22

And finally we arrive at the Pentecostal outpouring of the 20th century. In Topeka, kansas, we learned again that the spirit is marked by the initial evidence of speaking in other tongues. At the Azusa street mission, we learned that the New Testament church must be global in mission and multinational in its constitution. At the Royal Seiko, we learned again that baptism is done in the mighty name of Jesus, because our God is one.

Speaker 2: 23:24

After this mighty restoration of the spirit many have looked back to Ephesians 4 and we are learning again how New Testament giftings empower the church from ministry.

Speaker 3: 23:49

This is a review for you. You know that these five leadership roles were part of the New Testament church and you believe that these five roles are active in the church today. We have discussed the different roles and how they may be. We can use models to help us understand their activities. Remember that the apostle is a pioneer to generate new works and new contexts. The prophet is one who guides and reminds us of God's covenantal faithfulness. The prophet points us back to God's faithfulness and reminds us that we made promises to God as a people and the prophet will challenge us to meet those commitments that we made. I'm a married man. If I were not being a proper husband, someone could remind me of the covenant promises I made to my wife when we married. This is what the prophet does for the church. The prophet says you made these commitments and you must abide by them. So they point to pass faithfulness of God and pass commitment of God's people.

Speaker 3: 25:47

Then the prophet points forward to God's preferred future, the prophet screams out choose life because the blessings of God are in his preferred future, but the judgment of God is in the future of those who reject his covenant faithfulness. Remember that the evangelist gathers people to hear the gospel. We often think of this as a meeting with many, many people gathered in one place like a crusade. This is a very effective form of evangelism and I have been privileged to see many of you in operation in this gifting. But evangelists don't just share the gospel in front of crowds. They share it one on one, just as Philip did in Samaria. Philip was just as much an evangelist in the chariot with one person as he was in Samaria with an entire crowd.

Speaker 3: 27:22

The principle of evangelism doesn't rely on the size of the crowd but on the motivation of the speaker. The purpose of the evangelist is to gather for conversion. The evangelist is the one who wants to see new birth happen. They want to see repentance, baptism and water in the name of Jesus and baptism in the spirit. With the evidence of speaking in other tongues. The shepherd guards those that have been converted. The shepherd helps them to find their place within the body of Christ and works with them to make sure that they are in a healthy community of believers.

Speaker 3: 28:35

The teacher uses the word of God to ground people and to cause them to be having roots in God's kingdom.

Speaker 2: 28:43

Roots, deep roots.

Speaker 3: 28:53

The apostle lives with the leaders, the prophet lives with God, the evangelist lives with the lost, the shepherd lives with the saved and the teacher lives with the word. This is all been reviewed. I now want to point to some new material for you. I do not mean that you do not know it because you're all very wise, but it's new material for us to discuss together. Now you know that in a garden, not only fruit grows, but weeds grow as well.

Speaker 3: 29:50

The restoration of the power of the Spirit in the 20th century church not only led to truth. Some people's responses to the Spirit led to errors. These were people who gave false proclamations, they encouraged their people to have false practices and they also were false personalities. Even in the days of the Apostle Paul, there were false apostles, and today we have some people who do not speak the truth. I will give you some examples. And some of these people have taught good things, but they did not teach the full truth. In North America in the 20th century, there was a movement called the Latter Rain Movement. They emphasized the power of the Spirit and this was good, but they did not emphasize holiness they did not emphasize true doctrine and they made many claims about their power that were untrue.

Speaker 3: 31:31

They did great damage to the kingdom of God because many people came to mock the truth and to feel that it was not real. I'm just using these examples to show you that not everyone who claims the power of the Spirit is walking in truth. There was a man named William Branham who was part of the Latter Rain Movement one of his personal disciples was Jim.

Speaker 3: 32:10

Jones. Jim Jones had a church in San Francisco. He took his Bible and threw it on the ground. He said you need to stop reading this book and start listening to me.

Speaker 2: 32:31

Twenty years later, in Guyana, hundreds of his followers committed suicide. He literally killed his people.

Speaker 3: 32:48

This is what happens when we claim the power of the Spirit but we do not obey the word of God and follow Him, and follow Him. This is what happens when we claim the power of the Spirit but we do not obey the word of God and follow Him in covenant humility. Now in North America there's a movement called the New Apostolic Reformation.

Speaker 2: 33:51

Some of these people are referenced in my work here, because not all that they say is bad. Some of these people write true things about the roles of edification gifts.

Speaker 3: 34:12

We can learn from the things that are true, but we do not know what does or does not exist in the New Apostolic Reformation. We can learn from the things that are true, but we must reject what is false. I wish to tell you that their movement is not new. I also wish to tell you it is not apostolic and I wish to tell you it is not a Reformation.

Speaker 3: 34:48

Although some of these people have some good insights they do not teach the true doctrine of the oneness of the Godhead or baptism in Jesus' name. So, although they may have some apostolic practices, they do not follow apostolic doctrine. You must be very cautious and make sure that anyone that you are learning from, any book that you are reading or any ministry that you are following, aligns with the Word of God. I give you a strong warning now in this area. Some of these people, for instance, teach that you should lie down over graves and pray that the spirit will soak up from the ground into your spirit. This is obviously a false teaching. They teach that angel feathers fall from the ceiling during their services and touch their believers. Can I just say it this way? When you try to walk into power of the spirit but you are not rooted in covenant truth, weird things start to happen.

Speaker 3: 36:32

It is very important to root our experience in the Word of God and we must commit ourselves to covenant faithfulness. Why do you think that God asked us to have covenant distinctions between the genders? Why do you think he asked us to be modest? Why do you think he asked us to be holy? Because when we walk into power of the spirit, our human flesh will take it the wrong way unless we are within the bounds of God's covenant. Your holiness is not just to keep you from sin. God's holiness is to keep you from getting weird. This doesn't just protect you from harm. Holiness protects your people from harm.

Speaker 3: 38:03

It keeps you from becoming a maniac because it causes you to make yourself be under the Lord. This prevents you from trying to rise above your people. We see people fall into sexual immorality because they will not limit their flesh. We see people fall into financial sins because they will not limit their appetite for the world, and we see people who abuse people spiritually because they will not limit their pride. I urge you today in the strongest terms possible please, please, pursue holiness before the Lord. It is critical not only to protect your soul, but to protect those that you serve. I am begging the Lord not to give me more power if I will not have more character. I do not want more authority if I cannot handle it. I do not want to see more miracles if it will damn my soul and harm my people.

Speaker 2: 39:39

I do not want to see more miracles if it will condemn my soul or harm my people.

Speaker 3: 39:45

Only the person who has the character of Christ can do the works of the Lord. Can we please pursue holiness in our lives? I beg you, brothers, I beg you sisters, let's not go the way of false teachers. Let's not go the way of charlatans. Let's not go the way of religious entrepreneurs. Let's not market ourselves. Let's not promote ourselves. Let's promote our Lord, let's promote his kingdom. Let's seek his power and his glory. I want to show you some essentials that will help you to do this. In our few moments left together. I want to show you six essential characteristics of the apostolic team member. In prayer and in meditation. I believe that there are six that cannot be negotiated. If you will be part of an apostolic team, you must have these six characteristics. The first is integrity. If you have received the Holy Spirit, you have power. Stop asking God for power.

Speaker 2: 41:35

You do not need more power.

Speaker 3: 41:38

Ask God to help you to build integrity. God's mathematics are these Power plus integrity equals authority. God provides us justification. This is our legal standing with God. God builds within us sanctification. This is our moral standing with God. I find no evidence in Scripture that God provides integrity for us. Integrity is being who we are, all the time, in every environment. Your reputation is dependent on what others think of you, but your character is dependent on what God knows of you.

Speaker 2: 42:53

This is integrity.

Speaker 3: 42:55

Integrity is bringing the same values to every relationship. Integrity is being the same person in the light and in the dark. Integrity is being the same person on the platform and in the supermarket, and you cannot have authority without it. You can have power, but you cannot have authority without integrity. Authority, authorship and authenticity all share the same root word. This is because in order for God to build others through us, we must have right character. God can use anyone he used a donkey with Balaam and he can use people without good character to give his word or to build faith in others. But in order to bring his kingdom to bear over time, we must have integrity. God uses those over time that have integrity. First, we must have integrity.

Speaker 2: 44:40

Secondly, we must have submission.

Speaker 3: 44:45

Power plus integrity equals authority, but authority plus submission equals greater authority. Integrity determines if Holy Ghost power will be accompanied by authority, but submission determines how much authority we will carry. Your submission is the measurement that God uses to determine how much authority you have, because you cannot carry more authority than you have submission. We find this in the illustration of the Centurion in the New Testament with Jesus. The Centurion said I can exercise authority because I am under authority. If you want to use authority but you refuse to bow to authority, you are a fool, because only a fool would ask to destroy his own soul.

Speaker 3: 46:11

In terms of our submission, I want to cover two concepts or principles, because I think we need to be very careful with our language. There are some people who speak of submission as a concept of spiritual covering and they will name an individual and they will say he or she is my spiritual covering. I want you to think and pray about this phrasing very carefully, because I do not find this particular phrasing in the Bible. I do find that we need pastors and we need elders to guide us and we need to be accountable, but this phrase spiritual cover was made popular by a Christian author named John Bavir. He has had many good things to say and so I'm not criticizing Mr Bavir. However, I want to remind you that in the Bible the only reference to a spiritual covering in Exodus 6, 17, 15, jehovah Nisi was the name of God.

Speaker 3: 47:43

He was the spiritual covering for Israel, and in the song of Solomon, the lady cries out that his banner over me is love. This indicates to me that God is our spiritual covering. So I think we must be careful in our phrasing and in our language, attributing something to man that really belongs to God. Remember that in the Roman Catholic Church it was the priest who gave spiritual absolution, and there is something of this element in this phrasing. It can be misunderstood, where people think if they're okay with a person, then that automatically means they're okay with God.

Speaker 3: 48:58

I respect Brother Robinette and I love Brother Robinette very much. When I'm on a trip with him or crusade with him, I submit to his spiritual authority, as I should. But let's use a ridiculous example. If I were to sin and I said it's okay because Pastor Robinette says it's okay, that doesn't mean it's okay because he's my spiritual covering for that trip. I use this example because of course he would never do this. But there are people who use this phrasing and they've had affairs and then they've been back in the pulpit and they said it's okay because my spiritual covering said it was okay.

Speaker 3: 49:54

I don't know that this has happened in our apostolic movement, but it has happened in other evangelical churches. So I want you to be very careful about this phrasing and to think and pray about how this concept of spiritual authority must be in our lives. You understand that I'm not speaking against spiritual authority but I'm saying that only the word of God and the spirit of God can be our ultimate authority. This gets to our second concept of veto power.

Speaker 3: 50:49

I have heard it said by many and I even have talked this, that we must have someone who can always say no to us. But in the scripture I think it is a general principle that we are to be submitted to our elders and the body of Christ. But if we take this principle to the extreme of veto power, it means that I don't have to answer any questions. I just have to take all my spiritual questions to someone else.

Speaker 2: 51:37

But if we take this in the biblical level, in the power of veto power, it means that I don't have to say anything. Could you rephrase it?

Speaker 3: 51:48

It's fine. What I mean is spiritual authority must have the limits of the scripture and the spirit. And within those bounds I need to submit to spiritual authority. But if someone is telling me to do something that is contrary to the word of God, then they're stepping outside of their bounds and I'm not to submit to what they're saying if it's not in line with the word of God. We must respect, love and submit to our spiritual leaders, but their counsel must always be within the word of God and the spirit of God.

Speaker 2: 52:47

This is the difference between a church and a cult.

Speaker 3: 52:51

This is the difference between someone who has a ministry and someone who is a maniac. It's very important to protect these principles because people trust us with their lives and their souls.

Speaker 2: 53:05

We are commanded by the spirit to prefer one another in love.

Speaker 3: 53:20

I find this characteristic to be very difficult in my life.

Speaker 2: 53:23

I want you to have revival.

Speaker 3: 53:31

I want your church to grow. I want your family to be blessed. But I must confess to you I must be very spiritual to actually prefer that your family be blessed instead of my family. Pastor Robinette, I rejoice that 10 people received the spirit yesterday. I am so thankful and I am very happy.

Speaker 2: 54:04

I am not jealous of you, I don't say well, they really didn't get the Holy Ghost. I'm not criticizing you, but my Bible also tells me this is not enough, pastor Robinette.

Speaker 3: 54:28

Do I really? Am I really more thankful that it happened for that service than I am that it happened at Arlington?

Speaker 2: 54:44

I can't do that on my own.

Speaker 3: 54:45

I have to have the Holy Ghost to give me that kind of attitude, to prefer my brother in love, in revival, in blessing, in power, in anointing in authority.

Speaker 2: 54:57

I have to have the Lord directing me, Hear me very clearly friends, brothers and sisters hear me very clearly.

Speaker 3: 55:17

This is one of the key hindrances to revival in our age.

Speaker 2: 55:26

If we can truly prefer one another in love our Apostolic churches will go nuclear.

Speaker 3: 55:35

If we can truly prefer one another, god can do anything, because we won't try to get the credit.

Speaker 2: 55:41

If we can truly prefer one another, we can do anything, because the Lord will really. If I prefer you, I won't pull you towards the bottom of the earth.

Speaker 3: 55:58

If I prefer you, I don't have to criticize you if God is blessing you.

Speaker 2: 56:02

I can intercede for you and I can love you and I can see God using you.

Speaker 3: 56:18

Hear me, church. If we can learn to do this, God will do anything for us.

Speaker 2: 56:22

But we will not learn this in a book. We will not learn this at a conference.

Speaker 3: 56:36

We will not learn it at any other venue than at the altar because you will never prefer what you do not love and you will never love another more than yourself, unless you have a character of Christ.

Speaker 2: 56:55

The old Adam can admire someone else, but the old Adam can never prefer anyone else.

Speaker 3: 57:11

Only the new creature in Christ can prefer someone else we must have humility. The original sin is pride, but humility is the opposite of that sin. Humility is the main expression of the original virtue. The original sin is pride.

Speaker 2: 57:39

The original virtue is love.

Speaker 3: 57:47

In our team at Arlington I seek for humility more than any other characteristic. I can teach people anything else, but without humility I cannot teach them. Most disruptions in team unity occur because of a lack of humility.

Speaker 2: 58:17

God forbid that he gives you power without humility because that power will be used to harm rather than to heal.

Speaker 3: 58:33

It will be used to build our kingdom instead of His, and it will build our reputation and not our Lord's.

Speaker 2: 58:43

Humility is necessary for us to be on God's team.

Speaker 3: 58:58

I want to be humble before the Lord because if I am humble, he will work with me, but if I am proud, he will resist me.

Speaker 2: 59:09

This is the word of God. There is no wisdom or counsel or understanding against the Lord.

Speaker 3: 59:22

If God is resisting your ministry, you can go nowhere.

Speaker 2: 59:32

And the Bible teaches us that he resists the proud.

Speaker 3: 59:34

Apostolic team members must have integrity. We must have submission. We must have preference of our brothers and our sisters and we must have humility. I feel the conviction of the Holy Spirit right now. I wonder if we could just cry out to the Lord and ask Him to help us. I'm not teaching you something that I know, something that I've mastered. I'm teaching you something that I want to master me, something that I want to help me.

Speaker 2: 1:00:17

I don't need more knowledge, I need more love.

Speaker 3: 1:00:34

I don't need more power, I need more character, like the Lord. My people don't need a better sermon, they need a better pastor.

Speaker 2: 1:00:48

My city doesn't need someone who's more intelligent.

Speaker 3: 1:00:55

My city needs someone who's more Christlike.

Speaker 2: 1:00:58

God has given us our city. The town that I live in is ours.

Speaker 3: 1:01:14

It belongs to the apostolic but God will not allow that to happen to a proud people. It will only happen to a humble people so that he can get the glory Very quickly. We must have an urgency when we are on an apostolic team.

Speaker 2: 1:01:39

If we are going to do anything for the Lord, we must do it right now.

Speaker 3: 1:01:50

The night is coming when no man can work, so please do what you must do for the Lord. Today, moses turned to his team member, aaron, and he said take the fire and run, because people were dying. By the second, aaron took the fire from the altar and he ran to the people.

Speaker 2: 1:02:31

Can you see it in your mind?

Speaker 3: 1:02:33

Every step that he took, people were dying. Every moment that he delayed, families were disintegrating. Grandmothers and grandfathers were watching the grandchildren die.

Speaker 2: 1:02:57

We are in the exact same position as Aaron.

Speaker 3: 1:03:00

When he arrived with a fire that symbolized God's presence, the plague stopped. Our ministry and God is taking the presence of God between the people and the plague because when the presence of the Lord arrives, the plague stops. Run, run, run, don't delay.

Speaker 2: 1:03:25

There's urgency in our apostolic message.

Speaker 3: 1:03:31

Your neighborhood, your nation, your people, your people your people your people, your people, your people your people, your people, your people, your people your neighborhood, your nation, your family, your world is waiting for the plague to stop. Everyone has information, but only you have the fire. Everyone has philosophy, but only you have prophecy. Everyone has opinions, but only you have the truth. In the name of our Lord and for His sake, I beg you run, run, run.

Speaker 2: 1:04:23

Get to the people.

Speaker 3: 1:04:26

Take the presence with you. Stop the plague Now with urgency. We must also have patience. We must be urgent with what we must do. We must be patient with only what he can do. We do not reap and sow in the same season. Satan wants us to be patient with ourselves but impatient with God. He wants us to be angry with God because it's not happening right now. Paul said having done all we stand, and in our patience we possess our souls. Friends, have a sense of urgency with what God wants you to do, but at the same time be faithful and be patient and trust him with the harvest.

Speaker 3: 1:05:45

We are only laborers in the harvest. We are not the lords of the harvest. We do not determine the reaping, we only determine the sow. We cannot make anyone grow. We cannot save anyone. We must rely on the Lord to do these things. But I promise you today, I promise you. I promise you God will do it. If we will do it, if we will do our part, he will do his part and a great harvest of souls will come. I must finish now and allow Pastor Robinette to pray for us. I feel the urgency and the drive of the Holy Spirit. I feel the Lord challenging us to become more than who we are right now.

Speaker 3: 1:06:59

Please understand that I'm not admonishing you out of superiority or any feeling that I have arrived at these principles. I speak to you because I admire you and I love you. I speak to you because I believe in you, but I urge you and I am admonishing you by the Holy Ghost. We must be all we can for our Lord in this hour, because this is the hour upon whom the ends of the world have come. Pastor Robinette, I want you to take this meeting and I want you to close us in prayer, whatever comments that you have, but the Holy Ghost is moving. Now. I wish for the Lord to reveal to us his truth and his heart and to empower us to be who he desires for us to be in this hour, because the billions are waiting. The billions are waiting. Believe that the Lord has a great and mighty work for every person on this call today, every person hearing the podcast, every person viewing the video. Believe that the Lord wants to work with us. Amen, pastor Robinette.

Speaker 1: 1:08:31

Hallelujah, hallelujah. What a powerful, powerful spirit of conviction and instruction that is on this call right now. I'm sitting here in my home office, just overwhelmed by the word of the Lord today. This is what I love about this global apostolic mentoring that the Lord loves us enough to reveal the deficiencies in the kingdom of God and we love him enough to not make excuses but to just say God, change me, let me be what you are calling me to be. In the greatest hour of the church, lord, I willingly put away ignorance and I receive revelation and I take on the equipping for kingdom work that you're trying to seed my spirit with. I feel the Holy Ghost here right now. Why don't we just take ourselves off mute? Why don't we begin to pray together? Why don't you pray prophetically for these?

Speaker 4: 1:10:19

no-transcript.

Speaker 1: 1:16:18

Sister Karina, would you please unmute yourself for me. Talabba, shatalabba satah. Oh, my goodness, what a kingdom, critical word for God's global church. Oh, I feel the Holy Ghost so strong here. Oh, no more excuses. Just say yes, lord, yes, lord, to your will and to your way. I resist and I reject the spirit of this world. I resist and I reject the infection that the spirit of this world has brought to God's global church. I want to be inoculated by the spirit and by the word. Oh, I want to be immune to the spirit of this world.

Speaker 1: 1:17:34

The only way I can do that is to give myself to the spirit of the Lord and to the consumption of this great word of God. I find one of the most tragic things is to hear the word of the Lord and then make an excuse for behavior. Well, you don't know what I've been through. What you've been through is no excuse for disobedience to God's word. God is speaking to his church today. God is speaking to your global leaders today. Put away excuses and embrace truth. We can be better, we can do better, we can love each other better and together we can see the greatest harvest that this world has ever experienced. Hallelujah, Thank you God. Thank you God. Thank you, Dr Jackson, for being with us today. What a powerful, powerful word. Oh, I can't wait for this book to drop. All we're getting is like these little nuggets from the book, and I think it's terrible. It's abuse.

Speaker 1: 1:19:37

It's abuse. Let's call it what it is it's abuse, it's teasing. Dr Jackson can do better. He's got to quit abusing God's global church with these teasers of a great book, ready for the word, ready to be better for God. Yeah, somebody put in the chat. It's an urgent hour. We need you to get this book done urgently.

Speaker 1: 1:20:13

They're twisting your words against you, brother Jackson, in fairness to Dr Jackson, his book is already at the editor. We're just waiting on the publication process, which it's just a challenge and we all have to go through it and we understand.

Speaker 2: 1:20:40

It's just a challenge for the publication, it's a challenge for the whole community.

Speaker 1: 1:20:44

But just know there's a global apostolic community that's chomping at the bit to get their hands on this full resource, Dr Jackson.

Speaker 2: 1:20:52

Dr Jackson, there's a group of apostolans who are really impatient to have this book.

Speaker 1: 1:20:57

We love you and we thank you for listening to the Spirit of the Lord and putting together a resource that's going to change our lives and change the future. We love you, doc. Thank you for being with us again. I'm probably going to ask Doc to be with us again next month. I'm trying to get Doc with us as many times as we can before his book drops. I do have an opening in our apostolic mentoring schedule next month. It's actually May 27th. I don't know what your schedule looks like, but just send me a text message if we could do that and get you one more time. Wow, what a word. Sister Karen just nods her head. She didn't even want to translate that, she just said oh yeah, that was it.

Speaker 1: 1:22:15

Next week on Monday, 1pm Eastern Time.

Speaker 2: 1:22:23

Are you changing time this weekend in the States?

Speaker 1: 1:22:26

Are you trying to mess up apostolic mentoring, Sister Karen?

Speaker 2: 1:22:29

No, it's for us to know.

Speaker 1: 1:22:32

Well, it will not change for the North American church. We are always going to be 1pm Eastern Time.

Speaker 2: 1:22:40

There will be the next week. The American time will change, so for the United States it will be very unusual, but for the rest of Europe it will affect the time.

Speaker 1: 1:22:48

It is possible that that will affect the time of our European and Pacific region followers, but the North American church Everybody needs to just look at what time it is in America. If it's 1pm Eastern Time, it's absolutely not mandatory.

Speaker 2: 1:23:04

It will affect the time outside of the United States, but it will be very unusual.

Speaker 1: 1:23:09

But next week we have Evangelist Caleb Herring going to be with us, a week after that we have Bishop Weber going to be with us, and then the week after that we have Pastor Kort Cheb is going to be with us, and then the last week of April we have Evangelist Ariel Lopez going to be with us. So we've got a great schedule ahead of us of apostolic mentoring. We love you all dearly. Please don't forget Share this session on your personal social media pages and please go to the Apostolic Mentoring YouTube channel and subscribe. It really will help us get the word out. Don't forget it's multilingual, so anybody can find their language category on there. We love you so much.

Speaker 1: 1:24:37

Yes, yes, somebody's asking can we have these slides? And you know what? I think I can do that right now. Let me see if I've got a copy of those slides and let me see how to do that. I think I just have to go to participants and I think I can. No, no, no, I think I go to chat and then I can pick something. Yeah, file my computer. I'm walking us through this. Hold on a second here, okay. Apostolic Mentoring guest documentation Dr Jackson, here we go.

Speaker 2: 1:25:20

Someone's asking if we can have the access to the audio.

Speaker 1: 1:25:23

That right now to everybody who's on the live feed. It should be coming into your deal right now. Everybody's seeing that pop up. I don't want to end before you have a chance to double click and pull that into your computer. Okay, I think this did that right. If I didn't, brother say, unmute yourself and tell me if I didn't do it right. Okay, he's giving me a thumbs up. I did it right.

Speaker 1: 1:25:47

All right, great, it's in the comments right now is making fun of me because I'm talking myself through uploading a file like I've never done this before. Yeah, this is great. Thanks, brother. Sayers, this is tremendous. There's going to be clips of this on WordShare. Look at Robin at. He doesn't even know how to upload a file. This is tremendous. All right, I love you all with a tremendous apostolic mentoring session we've had and we'll catch you all next week at 1pm Eastern time.

Speaker 2: 1:26:17

I love you all. We have a powerful session tonight. We'll see you next time.
