Session 5 – David Alley

What is apostolic message?

Apostolic message is not getting apostles back. It is about preaching the original message that the apostles taught.

People think they know what the Gospel is, but they don’t. We use the term apostolic to distinguish from institutional Christianity.

Where is it going?

To maturity! Doctrinal and relational.

Not about doctrinal purity. Love and accept one another even if we haven’t got the theology perfect.

The message helps us to attain place where we are one heart and one mind.

We need genuine apostles! Millions call themselves apostles. About 99% aren’t really apostles.

How do we know who the genuine apostles are?

No check list in Scripture

Heart test.

Revelation  2:1-2.

Jude 3-4,11

1. Do they do it for God or themselves? (Cain)
2. Do they have regard for brethren? (Cain)
3. Are they promoting themselves? (Korah)
4. Are they using the Lord to get money?

What do we need to do about it?

1. Trust the apostles God has put in your life
2. Give up your requirements to be recognised
3. Make Prayer for the apostolic message regular part of your life.
