The Apostolic Dominion Mandate
of Genesis 1:28 and Ephesians 4:11
Apostle- Prophet- Evangelist -Pastor -Teacher
And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let him have dominion…And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and let them have DOMINION…Genesis 1:26, 28The Dominion Mandate is the 1st Great Commission in the scripture. It is God's agenda for earth and the nations that spring out of it. It is the five-fold charge of Adam and correlates with the five-fold ascension ministries of Ephesians 4:11-13, the perfecting, equipping, and maturing of the saints for the work of the ministry, the edification of the body of Christ...
But before we go there, let us take a brief look at the characteristics and meaning of God's five-fold charge to Adam, as we find our purpose and destiny through dominion.
1 Be fruitful to bear fruit, to bring forth - John 15:16; Matthew 13; Isaiah 5:1
2 To Multiply to increase with abundance - Isaiah 9:7; John 3:30
3 Replenish the earth to fill, be full, and accomplish - Isaiah 6:3; Eph.1: 23
4 To Subdue conquer, bring into subjection - Romans 8:37; 1st John 5:4
5 To have Dominion tread down, subjugate - 1st John 4:17
Here, every purpose, calling, vision, gifting, potential, and destiny of the Lord in you is defined in these characteristics of the kingdom. Whether you are in the ministry of helps, the ascension ministries of Ephesians 4:11, or functioning in the manifestations of the gifts of the Holy Spirit, it all flows out of what man has been originally given for.
Whether you are new to the faith or strong in the faith, all of our goals, accomplishments, and pursuits in life are channeled through dominion. Whether you are employed or unemployed, dominion is our portion, our commissioning charge, and destiny. Dominion is HIS influence in the earth through Communion with God, and his appointed ministries for your life...
Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying "My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure." Isaiah 46:10
The end is declared from the beginning, that is why we must journey back to dominion and rediscover that we are not created to exist, but to rule through HIS influence in the earth, to share IN, what God has given us for, to be nothing short of GOD himself in the earth. We are not born again just to get to heaven, but to have dominion. The entire process of our development, like it or not, is reshaping us to flow in God's plan for dominion of the earth, and again, HIS influence to saturate the nations...
And from the Father's standpoint, dominion is the one main reason why we are here in the earth. We are simply here to rule with God, not to work for him. 1st Corinthians 3:9 says we are workers together with God.
We are co-rulers and co-administrators with him. We will never have to work for the Lord again now that we understand that together, we function as an Apostolic Team Ministry {ATM}, a territorial spirit, and a kingdom of priests unto God. Psalms 8:5...
In order to function in the Dominion Mandate, consider verse 26 of the 1st chapter of Genesis.
Here, man is made in the expressed image and likeness of God. Man is given dominion through God's image. Without the image of God, man cannot rule in his allotted portion, for that is the first thing God establishes for ruler-ship. Here we must recognize that dominion can only be accomplish through the expression and embodiment of HIS divine purpose. Again, God's influence in the earth...
On the sixth day of creation God made both man and beast. What this means is, that if we are not walking in the upright expression of the image of God over planet earth {starting in our personal sphere}, we potentially walk in the lower realm of the beast. Either it is the image of God that we are living out of, or the image of the beast, a wild and untamed, unprincipled nature and mind set. Romans 1:25
Now, the Dominion Mandate is seen in the ascension ministries of Ephesians 4:11 as a transfer of anointing, authority, and agenda into the corporate saints. In this transfer and expression of grace, the saints are matured to advance the kingdom, as oppose to the traditional view of securing our interest behind the confines of so-called church buildings...
In the Dominion Mandate, we see the kingdoms of this world are become the kingdom of our Lord and of his Christ. In the Dominion Mandate, the earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof. In the Dominion Mandate, every saint can function through their measure of rule, their allotted portion and particular sphere of activity.
Each saint is acknowledged in his or her capacity as relevantly important to the overall scheme of thing. Each one finds a whole new meaning of life defined through God, Christ, and Dominion. Therefore, dominion, the first great commission in the entire scripture. All other verses of scripture concerning authority and power, rule, and kingship of the saints flows right back to Genesis 1:28
This would include Matthew 28:19, perceiving and seeing Jesus Christ NOW in All power or authority in Heaven and Earth. And it would also include Genesis 14:18-20 concerning the affirmation of Melchizedek unto Abram.
For such affirmation from this apostolic priest {Melchizedek}spoke into Abram's progression, and went all the way into the womb of Sarah bringing forth the promise seed, the CHRIST. Like an interwoven tapestry, the impartation or affirmation of Melchizedek continued all the way from Abram {Abraham}of old into the New Testament, into the very womb of Mary the mother of Jesus. What started in Abraham continued all the way and burst forth from the womb of Mary as the Son of God, full of grace and truth. Thank God today for the power verbal blessings, and words of Spirit and Life.
Now let us look briefly at the Dominion Mandate in light of the Ascension Ministries of Ephesians 4:11, and compare,

Though the ascension ministries perfect {mature, equip} the saints for the work of the ministry, then what exactly are the saints here for in the first place?
Until the Ancient of Days came, and judgment was given to the SAINTS of the most High; and the time came that the SAINTS possessed the KINGDOM. And the kingdom and dominion, and the greatness of the kingdom under the whole heaven, shall be given to the people of the SAINTS of the most High: whose kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and all dominions {powers} shall serve and obey him. Daniel 7:22, 27 {Saints movement}
As mentioned earlier, the ascension ministries of Ephesians 4:11-13 is given for the expressed purpose of dominion. Dominion is the first great commission, and in spirit, the operation of the five-fold ascension ministries are evident in Genesis 1:28. For each ascension ministry correlates with the five-fold charge given to Adam.
Each speaks of something far greater in scope than church meetings. For in this new millennium leader-shift, the universal church perceives the need to move into a global mentality, an apostolic principle, which approaches the whole earth from the standpoint of Kingdom, not church only.
Why? For the church does not produce the kingdom, the kingdom produces the church …
Now the purpose of the Ascension Ministries of Ephesians 4:11-13 is as follows…
1 To perfect {restore, repair, prepare, adjust, and equip}} the saints for the work {work - Greek - Ergon: deed, toil, labor, act - ergonomics: the study of the problems of people in adjusting to their work environment; especially, the science that seeks to adapt work or working conditions to suit the worker}… of the ministry. {This is simply relating believers to their environment, which includes the marketplace, social interaction and workforce interpenetration.}
2 To edify {the act of building, metaphorically of believers - to build up} the body of Christ. {Keep in mind that building up the saints is different from building great buildings.}
3 Until we all come into the unity of the faith: {notice the phrase unity of the Spirit in Ephesians 4:3. Why not compare the two, along with the term unity in Psalms 133:1. For the unity of the faith in Ephesians 4:13 is a time word, till or until. God's fulfillment of his eternal purposes in the earth is till and until as confirmed in 1 Corinthians 15:25; Philippians 1:6; and James 5:7-8...although in God through Christ, there is already a FINISHED WORK.
The Multiplied Christ of Ephesians 4:11-13
We do understand that Christ's administration is far greater in scope than Ephesians 4:11-13. We also know too, that the scriptures do not specifically announce Ephesians 4:11-13 as "THE FIVE-FOLD MINISTRY in verbatim. However, there are principles in the word which testify of these five-fold ascension ministries, and one of them is certainly found in Genesis 1:28. Note below these observations.
And God blessed them, and God said unto them…Be…
Fruitful- Multiply- Replenish- Subdue -Dominion
Apostle- Prophet- Evangelist- Pastor- Teacher
Build up- Stir up -Cheer up- Stand up -Grow up
Govern- Guide- Gather- Guard -Ground
In light of the ascension ministries of Ephesians 4:11-13, we see that the Apostle is a colonizer and ground-breaker. Such ministry sets the tone and pace for development in kingdom agenda through pioneering grace.
The Prophet speaks a proceeding or now word to quicken that which, has been planted by the Apostle.
The Evangelist is the one, which carries afar the very activated word by the Prophet and Apostle.
The Pastor-Shepherd is the one that helps stabilize the corporate assembly of the saints with the word planted and activated by the Apostle and Prophet.
And, the Teacher reaffirms and reiterate all that has been established and confirmed by the Apostle and Prophet.
Apostle: Fruitful, Fertile groundbreaking, plantation, colonization, settlement, and pioneering grace
Prophet: Increase and abundance: the rhema or spoken word to activate the plantation of the apostle
Evangelist: carrying forth from one sphere of influence to another: cross-pollination to other places
Pastor-Shepherd: the local church where shepherds rule well and watch over the souls of the saints in intimate small group growth clusters
Teacher: synergistic approach of the above, combining all processes of the above through teaching and training
Another look at the Dominion Mandate {Genesis 1:28; Ephesians 4:11-13}
Definitions are first taken from Webster's
Fruitful-Multiply -Replenish- Subdue- Dominion
Apostle-Prophet-Evangelist-Pastor {Shepherd}-Teacher
Bear much fruit- Cause to increase-To make full-Under subjection- To rule
Fertile produce-Increase in number-Complete again- Bring in subjection-Authority
Prolific results- Increase in amount- A new supply- Conquer- Governed
Productive- Increase in extent- Replete, well-filled- Overcome- Territory
Profitable- Increase in degree- Plentifully supplied- Persuasion- Ownership,Training
John 15:16; Mt. 13 Is. 9:7; John 3:30 Is. 6:3; Eph. 1:23 Rom. 8:37; 1 Jn. 5:4 1 John 4:17
With this in mind, I felt it appropriate to share some of Webster's definitions of the above, as we shall now list the basic Hebrew definition of each on below. Note the following related meanings.
Fruitful- Multiply -Replenish- Subdue -Dominion
To bear fruit- Increase -To fill, be full -Conquer- Tread down
Bring forth- Abundance- Accomplish-Bring into subj. - Subjugate
When an apostle perfects, equips, prepares, and matures believers, he is imparting the very nature and substance of what an apostle is given for.
In other words, the spirit of the apostolos and apostello is transferred to the saints, not to merely become apostles, but to flow out of the quickening nature of what and why apostles are globally and geographically given. If apostles are given pioneering grace to colonize, and to boldly go into new frontiers, then the spirit of an apostle equips you to vanquish beyond into new territory of the Spirit.
If the spirit of the prophet activate the saints to flow in the vast dimensions of the living God, moving pass hearing the voice of God to becoming his voice in the earth, then the fruit of his prophet-hood is coming to pass. For when a prophet confers what God has for his people, the saints are the ones who bear fruit through demonstration of the Spirit. The saints bear witness of the oracle of God in their midst by becoming the living word of the Lord. On a deeper scale, truth is, in the prophetic dimension your whole LIFE becomes a WORD from the LORD!
The same principle goes with the evangelist, pastor, and teacher when it comes to transferring the core dynamics of the kingdom into the saints...
Whatever the ascension ministries are given for in the church, God broadens the principle with a clear understanding of our purpose in the earth. Whatever your purpose and calling is, or what your heartfelt desire is to be, the ministry and spirit of the Ascension ministries of Ephesians 4 produces a substance in you to fulfill your destiny through the very nature for which the ascension ministries are given.
Meaning, you can function in the spirit of the apostolos and apostello without becoming an apostle. You can walk in the prophetic dimensions of the Spirit without becoming a prophet. You can herald the good news of the gospel without becoming an evangelist. You can shepherd and disciple others whom the Lord leads you to, without becoming a resident care pastor-shepherd. And, you can teach the word in various degrees without becoming an ascension gift teacher.
With this in mind, whatever the distinct grace and anointing of the Ascension Ministries is, can actually become the corporate anointing and transference for saint's world over. And since the saints are being perfected or matured for the work of the ministry, then it must also be noted that the bulk of our ministry will not be secured behind closed doors of church buildings.
Advancing the Kingdom through The Transference of the Ascension Ministries - Ephesians 4:11-13; Genesis 1:28...
Let's begin by highlighting a new selection of principles for each commissioning charge of Genesis 1:28. With each shall be a different term to describe something God is accomplishing through us in the Spirit of the Ascension Ministries - Ephesians 4:11.
Definitions shall follow each aspect of the 5-fold charge of Genesis 1:28. So, let's begin our discovery. Blessings!
Apostle -Prophet- Evangelist- Pastor- Teacher
Fruitful
Multiply Replenish Subdue Dominion
Plantation- Germination- Importation -Cultivation -Culmination
Plantation:This is an apostolic principle. Plantation is defined as "a colony or new settlement. In the spirit of the apostle, begin to see you taking new territory, pioneering new thresholds and frontiers of grace and glory for every thing God has purposed for you.
Begin to launch forward into new a new sphere and frequency of the Spirit. For to be a planter, the Lord will give you the right plan and the right plant for harvest. Bear in mind, too, that the ground that you plant in must be fertile or good ground. In this, let the Holy Spirit direct you where to invest your time, talents, and good treasures.
Remember, seed for sowing, and bread for eating. Sow where you want to go. This is seed, time, and harvest. {Genesis 8:22; Galatians 6:7-8; Joshua 1:3; Numbers 13:30}
Germination:This is the principle of the prophet, a ministry given to activate the seed planted. Germination encompasses the idea of causing something to sprout, as a spore, bud, or seed. It includes the developing or growing process. In the Spirit, begin to see the purpose and promises of God springing forth in your life.
Begin to prophesy to the purpose of God for destiny. Let the prophetic word of the Lord spring forth and water what has been planted, and watch for increase and abundance in all of His good pleasure.
Begin thanking the Lord for the abundant provisions of his good treasure, and let the Holy Spirit multiply exceedingly your purpose, and increase His release through you in Jesus name...Mark 4:26-29; Matthew 13:32; 1 Timothy 1:18}
Importation: I liken this to the evangelist and their traveling grace, also, the message of the good news from a heavenly country... Importation is defined as "something imported." Import is defined as "to carry or bring goods from another country." Import makes up the word "importance," something significant. You must begin to realize how important it is to import from the kingdom of God the good news of the gospel of the kingdom to those in darkness.
In the spirit of evangelization, you are importing something from another land, meaning the realm of the unseen. Continue to receive and dispense the things of the Spirit that will show up in the natural. Import to others that the principles of the kingdom for every increase in your life. 2 Corinthians 4:16-18; Mt. 28:18. May you apprehend the goods of the spiritual dimension and release it to others, spreading good news from afar.
Cultivation:This is the principle of the Pastor-Shepherd. The word cultivation {or cultivate} is defined as "preparing and using {soil, land, and such} for growing crops. It also means to break up the surface soil around plants in order to destroy weeds, prevent crusting, and preserve moisture."
This really sounds like a function of an apostle, too.
Nevertheless, we are all given the responsibility to prepare our hearts and lives to receive what God is surely doing {and to walk in what HE has already done}. In your life today, break up any ground that would prevent the seed of the kingdom from lodging deeply in good soil.
Allow the caring processes of the Lord to deal with the wheat and the chaff. As noted in Ecclesiastes 3, there is a time to plant and a time to pluck up that which was planted. In the spirit of the Good Shepherd, begin to uproot anything that is a hindrance to your spiritual plantation. Start growing in leaps and bounds, and walk into the abundant grace of God for prosperity and purpose. ..1 Cor. 3:6-9; Matthew 13:19-23; Psalms 1:1-4; Isaiah 60:21; 61:3
Culmination:I liken this to the ascension ministry teacher, as they build on all that is previously given. Culmination is defined as "reaching the highest altitude or point; the highest point or zenith." Teachers of the gospel will cause you to excel in all good things. They are given a mandated authority to speak boldly what God has said concerning his covenant promises. Therefore, in the spirit of the teacher, begin to put the word of God into everything that concerns your life. Teach it to you and to others. Rehearse in your hearing what the authority of the word says. Move pass being familiar with the word to walking in the proceeding word. In the spirit of the teacher, know what the word of the Lord says, and walk accordingly therein.
Matthew 28:20; 1 Peter 4:11; 1 Cor. 12:28;Mark 16:17
ApostleProphet Evangelist Pastor Teacher
Fruitful -Multiply- Replenish- Subdue -Dominion
Impartation -Activation- Cross-pollination- Habitation- Affirmation
Impartation:To impart means "to give or share a portion of, and to make known, tell, and reveal." Again, apostles of the Spirit are largely recognized for impartation ministry along with the prophet. Apostles are given the grace to impart a seasoned word for your destiny. In the spirit of the apostle, let's decree that we will walk in a new dimension of the Lord for what belongs to us by faith.
With this impartation comes a new administration to execute purpose and plans. Through impartation, God is making known his will to you and others. So, allow apostles of the Spirit to speak into your life to refuel you for a bold new destiny. Start walking in the apostolic dimension through impartation.
Romans 1:11: 1 Corinthians 1:6-7; 1 Timothy 4:14: 2 Timothy 1:6
Activation:Ah, an exciting word indeed! Prophets with apostles are recognized for activation of gifts, callings, purposes, ministries, and destinies. The word "activate" is defined as "to make active, cause to engage in activity. To put {an inactive military unit} on an active status by assigning personnel, equipment, etc." Begin to be activated in kingdom purpose Become an activator, walking in an ongoing rhythm of prophetic activation. Walk in the power of touching and agreement, and begin to see changes in your life. Walk in the substance of the prophet to loose the goods that are being withheld from God's people.
Acts 17:28; Amos 3:7-8; Numbers 11:25; Acts 3 25: 19:6; 2 Timothy 1:6
Cross-pollination:This too, reminds me of the evangelist, for their mission crosses geographical, cultural, and religious boundaries. Cross-pollination is "the transfer of pollen from the anther of one flower to the stigma of another, as by the action of the wind or insects." In other terms, cross-pollination is the ministry to cross over, cross-fertilize, and cross-country with the purposes of God for dominion. Here, we are being launched into new paradigms and patterns for kingdom advancement. Cross-pollination is taking the good news everywhere.
Why not begin cross-pollinating through new thresholds of the Spirit? Did not the scriptures say to make friends with those of Mammon? Meaning, economics, business, harvest mentality, and finance is not limited to being a Christian. These are kingdom principles built into creation itself.
Habitation:Habitation is defined as " the act of inhabiting, occupancy, a place in which to live; dwelling home, colony or settlement." In the Spirit, both apostles and multiple care growth group flock shepherds desire greatly for a place where God's people can dwell together in unity. With this in mind, habitation speaks of the place where you live, whether at home or in the corporate anointing of the local church.
Habitation says, "Thus far, of all the things we have learned and have received from the apostles and nurtured through the care of the shepherds there is an urgency in the Spirit and a demand placed on principle to see these truths manifested among us. We want habitation, and not just visitation. Our desire is to see these truths come to life among the corporate body, as a testimony of God's faithfulness to his people. Psalms 133:1-3; Ezekiel 48:35; Haggai 2:9; Psalms 91:1-16
Affirmation:The act of affirming {confirming} a positive declaration, assertion. In one sense, it is the power of agreement, as the teacher agrees with the word spoken. In Law terms, it is a solemn declaration, something you hold as true. Therefore, the teacher re-affirms all that has been given to us from the apostle and prophet. When the teacher teaches, signs follow the word. That is why the teacher is number #3 in divine order in 1 Corinthians 12:28. And what administration is it that follows the teacher? Why, miracles of course! Mark 16:20
Begin to affirm in your life that you are destined with a purpose. Begin to affirm boldly the "It is Written" of the word of God. Start declaring these things openly in your house, and set the tone, pace, and atmosphere for radical changes. Begin to witness that the faith in your heart and the faith in your mouth are one faith. Speak to all of your life situations to realign themselves to the authority and integrity of the word. Declare the end from the beginning, and live! Isaiah 46:10
ApostleProphet Evangelist Pastor Teacher
Fruitful- Multiply- Replenish -Subdue- Dominion
Commission -Transmission- Mission- Submission- Recommission
Commission:This word is defined as "the authorization to perform certain duties or tasks, or to take on certain powers." It is also the authority to act on behalf of another. Here, I see the apostle again, for they are given a specific a mandated authority as God's sent ones in conjunction with Genesis 1:28. As special messengers according to the grace of God, apostles are also described in classical Greek as "a naval expedition, an admiral, a fleet of ships, and the new colony. Here, all of these constitute the apostle. Thus, the nature of the church is the nature of the apostle.
Right now, begin to set your heart toward the Father for pioneering grace to move forward into the accurate plans of God for your destiny. Start releasing your faith for a new level of expectancy to boldly go where no carnal mind has gone before. Begin to thrust forward with a renewed mind and a quickening spirit. Start seeing the kingdom of God manifesting before your eyes.
Transmission:Transmission is described as "something transmitted." The Latin root meaning of the word is defined as "trans, - over, across, and mission, - mitter, or send." It carries the meaning of transfer, distance, dispatch, and convey. Transmission considers too, the intervening distance or space between the place where transmitted from to the place transmitted to. In prophetic language, the prophet has a powerful place to transmit the revelatory depth of what God is saying and doing. This transmission is not left alone in the life of the prophet, but to some degree lies resident in the corporate anointing or the saints.
Therefore, receive now the prophetic dimension to transmit from one realm to another the abundant provision of the Lord and a mighty release and increase. Declare now the sound of the abundance of rain, and begin to decree every kingdom provision made manifested. By the prophetic word of the Lord, release is coming! Release is coming!
1 Kings 17:10-24; 2 Kings 4:1-7{The release of the spoken word of the Lord}
Mission:Mission is primarily defined as "a sending out or being sent out with authority to perform a special duty."
Akin to the definition of "Commission," the word mission here, in the context and usage of this lesson, shall be applied to the evangelist, even Philip of Acts 8. Philip went on a mission, although the Jerusalem church did not specifically schedule him for Samaria. Just the same, Philip was given orders through the Holy Spirit, and the result, many were saved and set free. Upon notice of this, Peter and John came to impart the administration of the Spirit for receiving the baptism of the Holy Ghost. Praise God for the A.T.M. {Apostolic Team Ministry} of Acts…
Begin to receive the quickening nature of the Spirit as to what your purpose, mission, and assignment is in life.
Remove any vague generalities and become specific about what you are given for. Allow the corporate anointing of the evangelist to stir your heart to reach beyond the borders of your limited existence, and begin moving in the Spirit of "Go Ye Therefore." Like Philip, who was led of the Spirit to Samaria, let the Lord lead you into the right paths for reaching others through the gospel of the kingdom.
Submission:Submission is an interesting word. When referred to by believers universally, submission, whether in topic, or in practice, holds mixed views. First of all, the body of Christ is submitted under the Lordship of Jesus Christ. In the local church, we the governmental ministries of apostles and prophets, and other ascension ministries.
But then according to Ephesians 5, we are to submit one to another. Of course there is the need for submission to valid authority, especially to those who the Lord has appointed to speak into our progression. Whether it is a senior minister local elders, etc., there are defined lines of communication through divine relationships.
Truth is, all true spiritual authority is relational. No one is to enforce submission upon another because of his or her authority. But true submission and spiritual authority should reciprocate mutually. Without authority, there would be anarchy, chaos, and utter confusion. We have the authority to bring order out of chaos and the privileged power over serpents, scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy. Luke 10:19
Re-commission:The principle of re-commission can be easily understood as the anointing of the teacher reiterates and reaffirms the commissioning authority of the apostolic dimension. For again, the nature of the church is apostolic in scope, and the ascension ministry teacher is graced in great degrees to help steer us in the eternal purpose for which the church is given for in the earth.
The Latin prefix "Re" implies "again or back," and there are numerous words that support this. Words like replace, replete, repast, repent, renew, restore, restitution, reformation, realign, all carry the prefix "Re." From this we also see that "Re" is bringing us back to something. "Re" is returning us back to something we may possibly have veered away from. Therefore, true ascension ministry teachers will put the "Re" back in our commission.
Right now beloved, prepare to be Re-energized in your destiny. Become Re-activated again in what God the father has given you to do. Whether it is to possess the land both spiritual and natural, begin Re-relating to the previous given principles, and apply them severally in all areas of your life.
Be restored from poverty to prosperity. Be renewed to the word and Spirit. Be replenished with the presence of God for a new start in your life. And become restorers of the right paths to dwell in. For we are not only being restored, but is re-commissioned to restore others as well. Isaiah 58:12; Matthew 28:18-20; 1 John 3:8; Romans 8:19
Prepare now, as we conclude this area of discussion, making room for final observations.
ApostleProphet Evangelist Pastor Teacher
Fruitful- Multiply -Replenish- Subdue- Dominion
Acquisition- Intuition -Transition- Position -Cognition
Acquisition:Acquisition is the process of something or someone being acquired or added. In apostolic terminology, acquisition is another aspect of the principle of territorial authority, a church of global power in seizing opportunities to advance the kingdom. Whether it is colonization, or pioneering grace to thrust forward into new territory, acquisition is a powerful truth that calls to mind the church's position in the Spirit to "Take or Possess the Promised Land."
A lot of new and pioneering ministries have rose from the backside of the mountain. A new crop of no-named and faceless ministries has emerged from obscurity, and need people of apostolic acquisition to help to re-fuel and to re launch them into their vision potential.
What I would like to do now, is call in through the Spirit those who are appointed to a specific work of the ministry, and to proclaim prophetically and to affirm apostolically that the regions you are in has everything you need for you to advance the kingdom. There are people, places, faces, races, persons, and potentials in your area, just declare and to decree that the things that you are assigned to, or that is assigned to you, would come into manifestation, tangibility, and substance in Jesus' name.
Intuition:Intuition is the direct knowing or learning of something without the conscious use of reasoning: immediate apprehension or understanding. In prophetic and apostolic language we can apply this to many principles of the scriptures, particularly Ephesians 1:17-18. Here Paul speaks of the Spirit of Wisdom and Revelation, or the insight of the true nature of things. This is simply seeing things the way they really are by wisdom of God.
As a prophetic people, the offspring and prodigy of the prophetic message, prophesy together the unfathomable riches of the Lord to burst on the scene of the corporate body of Christ. Let's set ourselves in agreement together that we shall behold through the eyes of the Spirit the wonderful word of the Lord for our appointed time. No longer shall we operate our ministries from a mind of poverty.. Instead, we shall ride upon the high places of the earth and eat of the heritage of Jacob. Isaiah 58:14. An open heavens is upon us, and a stayed open heavens at that. We see what we say and we say what we see in Jesus' name.
Transition:Transition is the passing from one condition, form, stage, place, and activity to another. It is the period of passing. In regards to the evangelist, their ministry involves transition of unbelievers from darkness into the kingdom of God at the new birth. Here, one is transformed from death to light. However, the principle of transition involves more than this. For consider the deeper aspects of transition, how that one can even witness a transition of their wealth from the ungodly to the godly, the unholy to the holy, the unrighteous to the righteous. If a person can experience transition in their re-birth from death to life, how much more can one receive a transition in their mentality for kingdom resources. Romans 14:17; Colossians 1:13;
Position:Position is the act of positing or placing. I liken this to the Shepherd, for a great deal of their ministry is in the caring, nurturing, feeding, and developing of the flock. In the term position, there is a definite need to fulfill our purpose, place, and potential, recognizing our position in the Spirit, and walking therein. To conclude here, I would say "Get Into the Position to Receive and Release the Good Treasures and Abundant Grace of the Lord!" Position for possession in your progression.1 John 4:17; 1 Corinthians 12:4-28; Romans 12:4-8
Cognition:Cognition is the process of knowing in the broadest sense, including perception, judgment, and memory. In the ascension ministry teacher, spiritual knowledge is an important development in the believer's walk. Unfortunately there is knowledge that puffs up, but with charity, knowledge can build up. Therefore, we must move from knowledge of the head to knowledge through the Spirit. And consider this, there is empowerment {knowledge power} through revelation knowledge.
Right now, loose yourself from carnal and proud knowledge, and start moving into the intimate knowledge of the Spirit. For this realm of knowledge is revelatory, superseding the natural apprehension and assistance of mere men. This knowledge comes from the intimate abiding with the Father. For in Proverbs 9:10, "the knowledge of the holy is understanding."
