"Unless the Lord builds the house, the builders labor in vain..."
"If anyone builds on this foundation using gold, silver, costly stones, wood, hay or straw, their work will be shown for what it is..."

First were given Apostles, then Prophets, then Pastors, Teachers and Evangelists. The last 3 are the teaching ministries of the Word. All the Leadership ministries are needed for good depth and maturity in the Body of Christ. Let God look after how that comes about or what it looks like. You resolve in your heart to pray for it and trust the Lord to build his church, and he will bless you accordingly. See Prayer Guide for Leadership.
the 2nd Discipleship Study is on a more mature level and is for those seeking the Spiritual gifting and place in God's kingdom as described in 1Corinthians 12.
This study series is again on another mature level for those seeking to move and grow in spiritual maturity. The Lord give a certain measure of authority to those he trusts.
This Study looks at the Apostolic mantle of God's authority over the church. The last great move of god in the 50's and 60's strengthened the prophetic ministry in the church. This next move will establish the church in his apostolic authority.
The Body of Christ is the Lord's most Treasured part of Creation. This is what Jesus is returning for and what he wants to take with him into eternity. Jesus has put his Apostolic Mantle of Authority on each group that he has called to be his church. The 9 manifestations of the Spirit are in the Apostolic Mantle and enable the gifting of ministries that God desires to raise up in the calling of that particular body. The Mantle is only as strong as the maturity level of group. See Prayer Guide.
