Apostolic Scribal Shifts Emerging in the 21st Century Congregation by Theresa Harvard Johnson

By Theresa Harvard Johnson
I believe there are twenty-five monumental scribal shifts underway in the apostolic-prophetic scribal community. While some of these spiritual movements are taking place, I believe the Lord is revealing that the frequency, saturation and global visibility of them is coming forth intentionally for this segment of the congregation. In the list below, I've included eleven emerging shifts from that list in this arena.

I believe there are twenty-five monumental scribal shifts underway in the apostolic-prophetic scribal community. While some of these spiritual movements are taking place, I believe the Lord is revealing that the frequency, saturation and global visibility of them is coming forth intentionally for this segment of the congregation. In the list below, I've included eleven emerging shifts from that list in this arena.
 
1. The restoration of scribal groups, teams, administrative, creative and instruction. (The "intentional and purposeful" unifying of scribal groups for a specific, biblical mandate and call)
 
2. The awakening of scribal churches. (Leaders discovering that their whole churches are high in "scribal specific" culture, mandates and activity)
 
3. Moving from individuality in comprehending apostolic-prophetic scribal ministry to focus on scribal revival within the community. (Less focus on me, more focus on the Body)
 
4. A resurgence in preserving and protecting the historical apostolic-prophetic history of the church. (Expect to see a push to investigate, research, report and document with academic and prophetic accuracy the ACTS of the apostles and the history of the congregation. There will be a push to write, record and produce an accurate history that is reflective of the "entire" congregation not just a certain demographic)
 
5. An expanding of understanding scribal ministry beyond the awakening of the prophetic writer. (The Scribal Anointing is expanding; the dam is breaking...)
 
6. A resurgence in apprehending the critical role of the scribe in issues of injustice as it relates specifically to the call of the congregation. Matthew 23:34 is a critical passage here. (Note that if the word teacher is used in your translation, that it means scribe.)
 
7. A reconnection and redefining of the congregation's connection to its community from a scribal perspective, not only in missions but in partnership for change and impact. (Scribal ministry will play an advanced role in defining how it communicates and interacts with our rapidly changing communities. The arts play a huge role in this area.)
 
8. The raising up of supernatural-scholarly prophetic scribes. (We will see an influx of strongly prophetic-apostolic people who are also intentional scholars impacting the church with a profound anointing in the areas to which they are assigned. They are filling the gaps of ignorance in the congregation just like we saw in the days of Old. They will be full of revelatory truth and the heart of God, but rooted in the practical with accurate information vs. fake news and weird, spiritual hypotheses.)
 
9. The RELEASE of prophetic, scribal repositories within the community of the congregation where they are fully functioning in the capacity in which they have been sent to equip the Body of believers. (We will see educated people who have been LONG REJECTED in modern Christianity become an invaluable resource in their metrons. Many of them will be prophetic writers who dig out VERY SPECIFIC areas of anointing from an advanced, revelatory place that is also filled with decades of accurate and indisputable research. They will have published books and articles that dig out their understanding. What distinguishes this group, however, is revelation for the 21st century congregation.)
 
10. The restoration of SCRIBAL FAMILIES. (Expect to see the "heart of this type of biblical alignment" emerge organically with new life, new purpose and fresh vision rooted in serving God and serving others. It will be service oriented...not self-oriented.)
 
11. The ESTABLISHMENT of apostolic-prophetic scribal collaboratives in the following three industries: entertainment, education, science and medicine. (Right now, it is VERY STRONG in the medical profession - especially holistic medicine here in the United States from a Christ perspective. Scribal conservators and scribal repositories are merging to create extensive archives to reconcile the Body in these areas. The focus is completely KINGDOM... as they build within the congregation outward.)
 
*These concepts are not new as we review the biblical history of the scribe, biblical scribal activity in Christ-centered communities and their impact in the church. However, they are new in their application and thrust for the present day as groups generally without a voice are walking in a new day of access. Each one of these areas have been dug out scripturally and historically in deeper study that I hope to share soon.
