School of Apostleship Part 3 - Don’t Let Your Cousins Name Your Baby

I'm here to remind you that fulfilling your calling requires unwavering faith, for without it, your journey may falter. In this episode, we'll delve into the power of silence during certain seasons of your life. It's crucial to resist the urge to rely solely on your own strength and abilities to fulfill your destiny. Instead, let the burden of promotion rest in the hands of the Lord. I've personally experienced the pitfalls of attempting to forge ahead of God's timing, but I've also witnessed the beauty of faith and patience as they bring His will to fruition. As you step into your God-given calling, you'll encounter well-meaning individuals eager to assist you. They may offer instructions, open doors, and even try to make your path smoother. Some may even want to name your "baby" - your calling. We understand that names often carry a profound sense of destiny and purpose. But remember, it's essential to base these decisions not on past experiences but on prophetic destiny. In the early days of your journey, you might not fully grasp the magnitude of your ministry and calling. These revelations come through your obedience and humility, so avoid locking yourself into a rigid path too early. I once thought I had it all figured out, but now I've learned to leave room for change, to relaunch, reevaluate, revise, and course-correct when necessary. So, let's transition into today's exploration of faith, destiny, and the incredible journey ahead.

Intro 1 - Permission Granted / Use Wisdom

Permission Granted / Use Wisdom Welcome to the introductory podcast for Apostolic Perspectives. This episode may be summed up with the quote, "Don't talk about winning the nations when you haven't discipled your neighbor." There is a tremendous amount of "revelation" coming out of Charismatic circles, and much of it is accurate but may be premature for public consumption. In this episode, I seek to encourage wisdom for this coming building and renewal cycle within the body of Christ.
