Session 2 – Darrell Roos

John Alley

What was it that made it possible for Elisha to receive double portion of Elijah’s spirit?

It was his longing for his spiritual father.

Cf. Paul’s longing to be with Timothy

I am here for him. He is not here for me.

Holiness, higher cleanness of heart, comes from our attitude to those who are over us in the Lord.

Darrell Roos

Everything is for, about and in Jesus.

Built a Cell church, but it imploded because it lacked an apostle.

He didn’t even know what an apostle was.

1994 asked Chris Peterson to be his apostle. Didn’t know about fathering, but he got it. Following year was asked to be AOG regional director. Didn’t want to but it was God.

Leaders accountable to Jesus for maturity of disciples. We have to have the apostles and prophets in the church, as well as the pastors, teachers, evangelists.

An apostle is both a general and a father.

Apostolic is not just about the apostle but about the heart of the people.

He did not understand sonship, but then started to see it everywhere in the Bible. He needed a spiritual father, but couldn’t find one. Began to believe it was not for him. Life changed when he realised Chris Peterson was a father to him.

2 Corinthians 11:2. Godly jealousy to present the church to Christ as a pure bride.

Many who were called to apostolic ministry but have turned back to re-embrace the pastoral model.

Mark 2:1-7. Paralytic lowed through the roof. Man got healed because the faith of 4 men. Like the 4 out of 5 fold ministry gifts. Need God to breathe on the apostles and raise them up.
