Greetings!
Ralph HoweBy now the events and activities at the local church you attend have slowed down as programs take a break for the summer. But, we often seem to speed up as the summer has its own set of obligations and activities that demand our time - family gatherings at the lake; weddings (my family has two in the next three weeks);  added work in the yard and gardens. Vacations often turn out to be busier than non-vacation time but then maybe "a change is as good as a rest".

In the midst of all this it is good to take advantage of the warmer weather in a spiritual sense.  I take long prayer walks in the summer months. Both early in the morning and late at night few people are on the walking paths so I can walk for miles without seeing a soul and pray as the day begins or as the stars shine brightly overhead. Finding a spot under a tree and reading my Bible from cover-to-cover during the summer months is another annual adventure. I have been doing this for well over 30 years and enjoy the time with the Word when I can read larger portions to, once again, grasp the bigger picture.

Whatever you may be doing this summer - I hope and pray that you are finding extra time to invest in your walk with the Lord in ways that are only possible in the summer months in many parts of our nations.

Thanks for joining me once again in this edition of our ministries' e-newsletter. We hope you find the articles,  prophetic word, and resources helpful and beneficial to your spiritual walk.  As well, may I ask you to forward a copy of this e-newsletter to one other person whom you think might benefit from this ministry and the materials that we offer every other week.

I look forward to continuing  conversations with a number of you on the blog (web log) section of my web page. If you have not yet visited my blog, I invite you to join us. They are easy to work with, you can subscribe to them so that they come to your email inbox, and it is a great way to let us know what you think on the many topics we discuss weekly.

Thanks for your continued support and encouragement. Always good to hear from you.

FIVE ASCENSION GIFTS
Five Ascension Gifts
There are distinct and unique differences in the five-fold ascension gifts (Ephesians 4:11). All possess a different measure (metron) of grace. If we do not understand the distinct differences and the role each plays in "perfecting the Body of Christ," then it will be impossible for us to benefit from their uniqueness.

For example, if we try to make a prophet function like a pastor, we abuse the prophet by trying to get him to do something he is not called to do and to function under a specific grace that he or she does not have.

Prophetic Insights ... By Ralph Howe
It is Time To Stand Up and Become Involved It is Time To Stand Up and Become Involved

Over the past five years the number of young people (ages 25 to 35) being called out prophetically into the five-fold ministry of apostle, prophet, evangelist, pastor and teacher has been increasing dramatically. God is getting His Church prepared for something great - and I believe it is a tremendous harvest of lost souls as we see revival sweep the nations of the world.

Apostolic Annotations
"I have come to realize the truth in the Scripture verse that states: 'many are called but few chose to follow'. I have seen numerous young people receive a prophetic word pointing out their call as an apostle and even telling them to connect up with me as a mature apostle - and yet they have done nothing towards seeing that Word of the Lord come to pass. This is more than regretful - it is a total lack of responsibility and one day they will be accountable for this grave mistake."

Book Reviews
The Forerunner AnointingThe Forerunner Anointing
By: Dr. Eddie Lawrence

I am not normally a fan of books on "breaker anointing" and "intercessors' anointing" and all the other books on this topic. Often I think people write books for the sake of writing books. I definitely don't need more books to read.

However, this one called "THE FORERUNNER ANOINTING" by Dr. Eddie Lawrence is worth a read. The author is Senior Pastor of Faith Tabernacle Church in Florence, Alabama. He is also the President and Founder of First Breath Ministries which "develops resources for the Body of Christ."
