Selah List for January 10 2010 - Apostolic Release
January 18th, 2010
SELAH LIST
Already in this New Year, many are sensing that this will be a year of apostolic release!? As apostolic people, we have within us pioneering DNA.? We are of the company that will forge a new pathway for the apostolic to be released into our communities and even our nation.? The apostolic is linked of course to the prophetic. During our last election, I remember reading an article in one of our national magazines. It was an interview with one of our national leaders. He was asked what role he felt the church played in the country.? This leader is not a professing Christian, however, he answered that he felt the church’s role was to be the prophetic voice in the land. He was actually being prophetic himself at the moment, even if he? didn’t realise it.
The church must rise up in this season, and take her place, and not become complacent. It’s much easier to wave placards, than it is to get into intercession, and pray through the purposes of God.? We have been mandated by the Lord, to GO OUT!? We like to have little holy huddles, where we can just be together and have fellowship. It’s so safe and o so cozy to be with people who are like minded. However as my husband often says two thirds of GOD is GO!
We are to speak the mind of God, in our work places, in fact wherever we find ourselves, day after day. The gospel of the kingdom must be preached, and yes, with signs following.? This is what apostolic release should look like. We are so used to hearing apostolic and prophetic direction just in church gatherings, but it’s time to go viral?
I have been so blessed by two verses in Isaiah 49, verse 1 and 2.
The Lord has called me from the womb; from the body of my mother He has named my name. And he has made my mouth like a sharp sword in the shadow of His hand has He hid me and made me a polished arrow in His quiver has He kept me close and concealed me. AMP
Apostolic people must have mouths like sharp swords, full of the word of the Lord.? That word, according to the writer of the Hebrews is alive and full of power. It energizes, it’s operative, and sharper than any two edged sword.? Its effect is that it penetrates the deepest part of man’s nature, exposing the purposes and thoughts of the heart.
Have you experienced your mouth being a sharp sword used by the Lord, speaking words that are beyond you, in fact, that even surprise you, when you are speaking to a person who has not yet come into faith, or with someone who is having difficulties with their Christian walk. If you have, then you are being that apostolic, prophetic vehicle that the Lord wants to use in this day.
Being apostolic, is far more than being? members in an Apostolic movement, it’s using and flowing in the apostolic DNA that God purposed for you even before the womb.? May this be a season for us all, when we draw from the prophetic well, and allow our tongues to be used, to bring sweet release to those who are being held captive by the enemy.
He has been hiding us, and polishing us as mighty arrows, in fact he has purposely concealed us, so that we can come to this place of humbly being used for His glory.? This is the day of the Lord!? Be released in His name.
Think on these things
Blessings on you and your household
Janet.
