| Greetings!
|
 Thanks for inviting me into your home on a regular basis through these brief but important e-newsletters. We hope you find them informative and beneficial to your understanding of what God is doing today in His Church and in the world.
We certainly appreciate your continued support of this ministry both in prayer and financially. As we begin our 7th month of public ministry and this e-newsletter and web site we are grateful for all that the Lord has done and is doing. We are amazed at the growth of the ministry and the opportunities that the Lord is giving to us.
We are church planting in towns where the Church does not exist; we are preaching and sharing the Gospel on the street corners and on parking lots of local malls; we are working with local churches and their leadership pouring apostolic foundations and repairing current foundations that are not allowing health and life to flow in the Church . We are discipling and equipping 35 young men and women to step into the five-fold ministry that has been prophesied over their lives. We are doing mission work in several third-world nations with a number of mission teams being prepared to travel overseas to minister apostolically and prophetically in a number of nations.
We now have a new series of teachings - a revelation from the Lord - called "GO FORWARD" - and I believe it is a now word for the Church and for you. It will soon be available as a MP3 download from the website, and available by mid-June as a CD set which you can order and it will then be mailed to you. Please also have a look at the other resources that we have in our on-line store.
Going to our web site you will notice we have added a fourth daily blog - a Bible study looking at various verses and opening a discussion on what the Lord might be saying to His people today. This blog joins one on "apostles", one on "evangelism and soul-winning", and one on "my travels and mission trips".
A reminder, as well, that we do have a toll-free number here in North America that you can use to connect with our ministry. It's 866-615-6470.
We are also in the exploratory stages of establishing a weekly (working towards daily) radio program on a Christian station here in our area that is available around the world on the web. This program will involve a combined teaching and interview format and will focus on the ministry of apostles and prophets. More news about this as the planning and discussions continue.
So, exciting and challenging times for our ministry and we appreciate your interest in what we are doing and your continued support and involvement.
Blessings!
Ralph

Flowing In The Apostolic Anointing
|
If you believe there is an apostolic anointing upon your life, there
are certain practical steps to take to flow properly in it. This is
true if you are a member of an apostolic church and simply flowing in
the anointing upon the church and its calling and ministry. It is also
true if you have a full-time calling into the role and function of an
apostle. Without these disciplines in your life, you will never flow
fully in what God has for you. There are three main disciplines.

Prophetic Insights ... By Ralph Howe

 Dreams And Visions
I am deeply concerned about the current state of the Church where
ministries - even anointed men and women of God - are teaching from
their dreams and visions and not from the Word of God. They are taking
their dreams and visions and calling them the "word of the Lord" when
they have not compared their content from the dreams and experiences to
the true Word of the Lord - the only plumb line or standard that we
have - the Bible.
They stand and talk about and talk from their dreams, visions,
experiences and private "revelations" instead of from the written Word
of the Lord. This is wrong. This is destructive. This is dangerous.
This is, at times, demonic.

Apostolic Annotations
|
"The Church was never meant to be built upon the ministry of the pastor. The Church was to be prophetic and not pastoral. It is time for a massive change in our perspective and our approach to the life and the work of the Church. It is not about us and our needs - it is about Him and His plans."
- Ralph Howe

Great Reading:

This Apostolic Age
By H. Daniel Wilson.
There are many
believers who are recently entering into this awesome, end-time
revelation and they desire to learn more about the apostolic. On the
opposite side of the scale, there are many who maintain that apostles
and the apostolic of the first-century church have no place or
prevalence in this twenty-first century.

The Prophet
This is an exciting week. I have my friend Dennis Cramer from Dennis
Cramer Ministries with me. He is a prophet of the living God and has
been coming to the network of churches that I founded, and still
oversee today, for the last 14 years. He is a proven and seasoned gift
to the Church and to me personally. I look forward with great
anticipation and expectation to his twice a year visits to our area.We have a busy schedule for the week we are together. He is currently
teaching a three day School of Prophecy. The first time he ever taught
this school was right here in this city at my local church. Now he has
taught it all over the world more than 80 times. I am still waiting for
the royalty cheque for having given him such a good idea. The students
(about 40 in number) are hungry and are receiving a tremendous
foundation and understanding of the gift of prophecy, the role of
prophets and apostles, and how God is building His Church today.
Awesome three days. ...

Book Reviews

This Apostolic Age
By: H. Daniel Wilson.
This Apostolic Age is a 165 page book written by H. Daniel Wilson who
is the Senior Pastor of Valley Kingdom Ministries in Chicago, Illinois.
He realized that God wanted His Church to refocus on the five ascension
gifts He left us. This refocusing will stress the importance of Kingdom
living verses simply continuing to maintain a church-lifestyle.
