The document discusses the heart of the apostolic anointing. It states that the apostolic anointing: 1) equips and influences the church for effective ministry, 2) delivers the greatest sinner and unlocks God's potential in them, and 3) took ordinary men and turned them into apostles who established God's kingdom. The focus of the apostolic anointing is on helping the saints reach where God wants them, not on the gifted person. It raises up builders through commitment, suffering, and effort and restores what was lost like integrity, authority, and true worship.

1. THE HEART OF THE APOSTOLIC ANOINTING
ISAIAH 61
First: The Apostolic anointing EFFECTS the Church: It INFLUENCES / EQUIPS the Saints for effective ministry.
The Apostolic Anointing WILL deliver the greatest sinner and make him / her a son / daughter of GOD, and then
UNLOCKING the potential of GOD in that person.
Jesus, who brought and introduced the Apostolic Anointing took ordinary young men and turned them into Apostles
who established the Kingdom of GOD.
LEADERSHIP is the ability to influence others / somebody to take a course of action which they are to reach where
GOD wants then to reach. This is typically the heart of the Apostolic Anointing, to focus more on the Saints than on
self. The FIVE-fold’s focus is not the gifted person, BUT the people who needs to receive the ministry of the GIFTS
(5-fold).
HEART / SPIRIT OF LEADERSHIP:
1 > Raising up BUILDERS; NOT converts? through TIME; COMMITMENT; SUFFERING (Hebr 2:10); EFFORT
2 > RESTORERS (v4): Structures that will enhance development; Acts 3:19-21
Developing/ment of excellence; leaders; growth; worship;
What is excellence??
Development of self; have a plan
3 > RESTORE what is lost; integrity; authority; sons; men; women; serving; commitment; true worship; prayer; holy
living; evangelism; etc
Apostolic Anointing brings back what is lost
4 > PRODUCING SONS; people with a kindred spirit – Phil 2:19-22
5 > FOREIGNERS will be your farmers and vinedressers; Apostolic Anointing will establish you in your position
and it will define the role of others (sons) who will join you.
They will be involved and we who have the Apostolic Anointing will help them define their roles / give them
identity and affirm their calling and purpose / value
6 > DISTINCTIVE CHARACTER / MARK; on the offspring (spiritual children), because they will understand GOD’s
order of father – son; Acts 4: 13
