Apostles-Center Discussion Board

[ApostleJ]

Dear Brethren, March 3, 2008

Praise God. I am still feeling the strong edification from yesterday’s assembly at the Apostles’ Center. We had a rich assembly with preaching from the apostles’ office, saints who brought teachings, manifold graces, including level 3 prophecy from the prophet’s office on the “Living Tabernacles and the Feast of Charity” and many level 1 prophecies. After assembly was over the fellowship that followed for 3 hours continued to carry strong grace as we ministered to visitors, new students, and saints shared dreams and visions, and continued to confirm Christ through sharing of scriptures and reflections. After the Assembly was over and during post fellowship, Prophet Seel brought a teaching, building on the prophecy of the Living Tabernacles and the Feast of Charity. The multiplication of grace provided a strong and rich opportunity for our growth and spiritual dining on truth. Truly it was an opulent feast of charity and the zeal of the saints for participation was very strong and nourishing to our souls.

Our first guest speaker was Brother Mo. Brother Mo brought an edifying teaching during the Assembly on the Refreshing of the Spirit through the tool of tongues. He expounded the scriptures from Isaiah to the apostles concerning the promise of refreshing and rest and regeneration through this holy second covenant tool. He ended his teaching with an exhortation to be consistent daily with this contact point in order for faith to continue to increase and reflect the face of Christ to the Father.

Apostle JoAnne Cremer then ministered, assisting the Church through the Great Transition as she identified the true sign of the Word of Life manifesting through the work of regeneration in the soul. She expounded on the pattern of the Word of Life that God has assigned to our faith as delivered by the apostles’ office, from 1 John 1:2-6 . Highlights from the expounding of the Mystery of Christ included:

The pattern of perception: The pattern of the priesthood that benchmarks the blessing and favor of God through the physical, which promotes evil and destroys the soul through acts of spiritual adultery. Why Jesus called this an evil and adulterous generation who seek physical signs and how Apostle James confirmed this. Apostle JoAnne contrasted how the priesthood of the flesh discerns by the flesh against those who labor by the priesthood of Christ and how they perceive and discern by the pattern of grace and benchmark faith by Christ’s authorship of fruit in the inward man.

The pattern of New Covenant fellowship: how it is observed in our agreement and function with the Record and the Witness and by this we have fellowship with government and fellowship with the Father, the Son and the Spirit, and through these things we are liberated from darkness and death upon the soul to experience our joy being made full through fruitbearing.

Sister Sheryl brought a very edifying teaching on our cycles of growth, and how resistance reflects many contradictions but how Jesus came to remove Satan’s power in the flesh, and by our rehearsing Christ’s testimonies we wait upon God through our priesthood labor, exhibiting good courage and assurance of faith in God’s reciprocation of blessing for overcoming. She encouraged the saints to put into practice their faith by reflecting, rehearsing and reciprocating God’s grace for the subduing of vain imaginations for the triumphing over sin, self, the devil and the world through the priceless gifts Christ assigned to our faith as the Author and Finisher of faith.

Prophet Seel’s Prophecy on the Living Tabernacles and Feast of Charity gave strong direction to the Church to remain consistent with the gifts, callings and graces of God, by His government, truth and Spirit, and prayer, preaching and prophecy so that by these things in the Assembly we can fellowship in truth and Spirit and feast upon the Charity of Christ. Further encouragement and comfort was given in the prophecy concerning hardships the saints of God face, and how God’s grace will be present to give strength and build patience in the times of our sufferings, for our hope to produce virtue and fullness in Him.

We closed the Assembly by continuing the Feast of Charity with level 1 prophecies, which reflected Jesus Christ and the truth ministered through the time of teaching. A few of the many rich prophecies were:

Our sister LaTanya testified of Christ through this level one prophecy: “The manifestation of Christ through the sign of regeneration is given to the righteous, who perceive not by the flesh but by the eye of grace.”

Our sister Rhonada reflected Christ in her faith through this level one prophecy: “Our faith is made perfect as we become productive with the tools sanctified by the blood of Christ for the spiritual transformation of our soul as His virtues are formed within.”

New students present stayed after assembly and fellowshipped and asked questions concerning the new birth in Christ, what it means to walk in the Spirit, understanding the definitions of grace and the function and operation of grace upon the soul for transformation. We continued to minister truth to them, highlighting how we keep our repentance sealed through the tools and our faith sealed to the covenant through the New Covenant priesthood. Prophet Seel further taught on Level 1 dreams concerning how God reflects His work of remission and healing in the soul, and how through level 1 prophecies the penmanship of Christ is active in the writing of His commandments upon our hearts. He discussed how we increase in discernment through the illumination of truth, and finally we discussed how we are being perfected in Christ through our feasting by the Law of grace and truth. Prophet Eric also taught concerning the work of Christ’s healing in the soul and how we experience a cycle of virtue as a cavern of the soul is permanently changed from a completed work of regeneration.

Gifts of the Spirit:

During the time of Prophet Seel’s teaching after assembly a gift of the Spirit manifested through the form of a vision, which he shared.

Brother Mo also received a vision concerning the cycles of our growth as he was ministering to a new student and shared that vision.

Manifold graces:

Apostle JoAnne continued to answer questions the visitors and new students were bringing through expounding the Mystery of Christ and shared 2 dreams recently concerning regeneration and increase the Lord is bringing in the work of the ministry.

Brother Carlos shared the following dream: I had a dream the other night. In the dream, my wife, daughter, and myself was sitting on a patio in the back of a house. There was a light in the back of the house. It was like a streetlight. In the distance I saw several tornados coming. As the tornados were coming very close to us, they stopped and my wife, daughter, and myself in unison spoke to the tornados that we are anchored in Christ. We spoke this over and over again and the tornados went around us and destroyed everything around us. In the distance I say people coming out of their homes to check the damage from the tornados.

This was an encouraging dream Carlos shared concerning how we overcome in the cycles of our growth as we focus our eyes upon Christ and not the contradictory circumstances. Our confession is not our pain, or our distress, our confession is the testimony of Christ. Through steadfastness with the tools of our priesthood we have confidence that we will be victorious in each trail of faith.

Amen. Praise God. Truly we feasted upon Christ as His Living Tabernacles. The exchange of charity was the richest I have ever been a witness to in my entire time in covenant with Jesus Christ. The saints were given opportunity to in the Assembly to handle the gospel of Jesus Christ through preaching, teaching, exhorting and comforting and all were able to prophesy one by one. The order of God observed in the Assembly and the rich fellowship that took place afterward is truly a testimony to the validation of the government of God, the authentication of the truth of Jesus Christ and the confirming presence of the Holy Spirit. I thank God that as the 3 fold cord of government, truth and Spirit is kept then we shall and we are experiencing the love of God, the mercy of God and the salvation of God through His Son Jesus Christ.

May your souls be encouraged to righteousness by these reflections of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ.

p.s. Remember, there is only ONE WELL. The WELL of Jesus Christ. Through the blueprint the apostles carry the saints are instructed in how to drink the living waters from the Well of Christ. The well is not the apostle, the well is not the ministry, the well is Christ. Drink from the WELL OF CHRIST and you shall live and move and have your being in Him and your confidence shall not be in the flesh, but in His grace.

In Christ,
