Last night was one of those great nights, marked by people participating. People getting involved. One of my problems is I always try to squeeze a lot in. Last night was no different.
A young man recently returned from IHOP was there, and brought for the with another young lady, glorious worship for us to pray in the meeting. The Lord gave me words for him, as well as many others who showed at the meeting. His worship made it so, I told Tina, "why teach?"
Some of the things touched on that are in opposition to prophets and apostles.
-Pastors working without apostles (Praise God – this is changing. Many assemblies seek apostolic covering, teaching, anointing)
-Prophets moving around like loose canons (Praise God – this is changing. Prophets are learning to work with apostles)
-Ambitious entrepreneurs posing off for apostles, building their empire rather than the kingdom of God. (Praise God – this is changing. Sacrificial men are arising all over the globe who are laying down their life in the model of the Chief Shepherd to build the Church). Phil1:21
-One assembly competing with another - sheep stealing (Praise God – this is changing. Many assemblies are learning to be units of the One House of Prayer 24/7 – House Born in Heaven Is 56:6-11)
-Ministers going sent by no one starting off un-commissioned work. Rom 10:15-17
-Church planting on marketing strategies
-Human enterprise & ingenuity rather than the leading of the Holy Spirit taking over the Church Acts 13:1,2. (Praise God – this is changing. God is orchestrating conditions which are gathering His own into His fist, before His fury is unleashed)
-Young upstarts with no respect for generational succession up-shooting like mushrooms. (Praise God – this is changing. In many nations apostolic fathers are begetting loyal sons who work life long with the fathers. Earth’s fracture is being healed. Father return to their children. Mal 4:4,5 is being fulfilled in our day. (Coming of the Lord for restoration of all things must be near!!)
-Way of the Cross corrupted by crossing of ways – entertainment circuit shifting between church and super bowl
-Mid week prayer meeting by sweet prophetic sisters that come against “Saul like Pastors”, increasing warfare against the church
-Lone ranger spiritual warriors battling out of rank. (Do not allow unauthorised people to lay hands over you or engage spirits in our home prayer meetings or in ad hoc midweek meetings organized under the gift of some person rather than by your covering authority. We have had believers get demon possessed by people who said they would invoke a blessing and cast out the bad spirit in the house).
Smorgasbord of delicious conferences conducted by itinerant great conference speakers, taking away resources, energies, time away from local assembly’s weekly program, disrupting heaven’s governance. God governs through every home’s family prayer altar and every local assembly’s gathering. When any organization detracts believers from the local assembly’s prayer life, that is enemy action. Intercession movements must be church based. Every shout is not the victory sound as young Joshua learnt from wise Moses.
-Believers & ministers Neglecting home soil, indulging in exotic “mission trips”. (Praise God – this is changing. Large churches are arising reaching the inner city of western metropolis. Men of integrity are battling for the soul of their nation in the Third World)
-Wife uncovered, attempting great intercession exploits without keeping the home prayer altar
-Husband pursuing career neglecting the eternal pursuit. (Praise God - this is changing. Men are learning to be the kinsman redeemer)
-Churches with men doing nothing, women bearing the brunt of warfare and hard work, breaking down in health
-Intercession “merry go round” without being connected to evangelism & church birthing. (Praise God – this is changing; even international prayer ministries are now linking their efforts to Church lighthouses going 24/7)
-Church disconnected from mainstream life, catering to the exotic tastes of the initiated while neglecting the masses. (Praise God – this is changing; Strategic ministry to gate keepers are being birthed to touch & transform societal structures)
-Church unable to be the salt & light especially to young people. (Praise God – this is changing; bold Christian youth are impacting peers with radical NT Christianity and 24/7 coffee prayer houses)
-Trusting digital dynamics rather than heaven’s dunamis – Praise God! A Flood of the Holy Spirit is coming
Many of these being reasons people do not want the prophetic in church. An increase for integrity and character BEFORE the anointing.
1. Apostles and prophets are the two foundational ministries in the body of Christ.
2. Who gives these ministries to the Church? These verses above declare that it is God the Father and Jesus the Son of God who give these ministries to the church. Jesus Himself is the premier expression of each of these offices.
3. Apostles and Christian prophets are in the Church for the entire church age.
4. Is the New Testament Church today properly structured?
5. What are the biblical characteristics and ministry of apostles?
6. What are the biblical characteristics and ministry of New Testament, Christian prophets?
7. Should we identify and recognize apostles and prophets today? Certainly!
We closed with a time of worship and many of the students used their prophetic gifts and took advantage of the prophetic atmosphere. This is a place where people get to test truth and the spirit.
For all that attended, thank you.

Powerful Sunday
From the first note played God moved. The prophetic flowed through worship and words came forth. We ministered on the tabernacle and preparedness. We had a great altar and people's lives were changed. Thanks to Mike and Sharon for joining us and Brian and Dolores for their hospitality.
From Friday night
Tonight was a great night at our "school." Once again more people than last time showed up. And right off the bat, a man shared a testimony of a healing that occurred. He left us a letter in the offering plate. I will post it tomorrow when I "recover." He said he has had chronic pain. "Snakes in his legs" he called it. We prayed. I prophesied that he was above the "snake line." That is the line where when you climb a mountain, snakes do not pass. It is already 11. We ministered from 6-9:30 tonight.
We ministered on the anointing. Some of it included Saul's armor, the three kings and the attack of the Moabites and how to bring increase in your anointing. After two sessions, I asked to pray for a woman in need of a kidney. Her friends brought her. I said, 'could we honor God tonight and be a body" and the presence of God fell in the room. We prayed for her and people began to bring her words. Words of healing, direction and comfort. We opened the front and a man received the baptism of of the Holy Spirit and healing. Others began to come up and receive. Around the room people spontaneously began to pray and prophesy for one another. A woman who received a word from Bob Jones about healing came forward and prayed for people. People prayed for TMJ (not my wife, but the ailment!) and people moved to the front and came under the anointing. We had fun and we had church. They are not mutually exclusive. People in this group are building relationships.
I will share some of the testimonies we have received tomorrow, but I need to cool out a little. Please pray for us for Sunday. If you are interested in joining us we would love to have you. The Lord has already shown me three things we will be ministering in.
Testimony
I praise the Lord and give thanks for Pillars of Clouds & Fire Ministries. This is the real deal for full-body ministry activation! Signs and wonders following the gospel; each believer finding their gifts, talents, and callings!
I am grateful for the wonderful foundation that is being laid by your ministry with the 'school of the prophetic' classes beginning with emphasis on the 5-fold ministry. I believe this solid foundational teaching will help equip the entire body of belivers and help pave the shift (back) to the fullness of everything the early church was (and is still) meant to be today, as well as bring agreement and unity in one accord with the foundational understanding.
Beginning with the foundational explanations of the apostle, prophet, evangelist, pastor and teacher, I can't wait to see where the school goes in terms of all gifts of the holy spirit, all baptized believers having signs and wonders following in holy spirit power as they go proclaiming the gospel, and as Jesus promised, even unto exercising of our faith to do the works He did and more!
How very wonderful and exciting it is to have have spirit and truth alive,working together, exerting power: word alive with holy spirit dunamis power. This is what the church/body of believers is meant to be! Thank you Lord, from those of us who have hungered for more than a ham and bean supper, more than bingo, more than just social club mentality and the weekly warming of a pew! The shift is on, no more playing church/churchianity: but back to Christian-ity... Christ-like annointedness; everything Jesus died and paid for, and commissioned us to do, the whole package, not words only but awesome holy spirit power, gifts in men, a form of Godly devotion not proving false to its power but alive and exerting power! TRULY EXCITING, praise God, thank you Jesus, come Holy Spirit and keep up the good work, Village Church and Pillars of Clouds & Fire Ministries: WE NEED YOU! God bless you richly as you richly as you continue to feed and equip His people! We are looking forward to seeing you again Friday for the school and hearing the both of you preach on Sunday! Amen!
Testimony
A great report! Thank you! J___ was more than blessed last night. We talked
all the way home trying to recall all that was said and write it down so she
could munch on those things. It was really cool seeing the BODY work
together, that's the way it should be.
I am excited to see what happens to J____ in the weeks ahead. I love the
phrase Tina said, "This is not my inheritance>" J____ and I kept saying it
all the way home about everything negative that would come to mind. Awesome
time, sorry to not be there next week....I will get the CD.

Prayer
Hi folks-
I want to thank all of you who have prayed for us.
We had another really great class. More people came and it is expected that many are coming additionally this weekend. More on that in the next paragraph.
Tina's shoulder is doing great. She is painless!
The first stages of our basement were done on Saturday. Hopefully, we complete this weekend.
Newspaper has picked up.
Our daughter Alyssa and her 3 children seem to be doing well with the move.
We really appreciate your prayers and pray for you.
Friday night class-we are expecting a number of people to show who have not been there before. In fact, we have been told that a pastor's wife who needs healing after some failed organ transplants will be there. Please pray for her. The class will be on the anointing.
Saturday-it is our hope they will be here to complete the basement.
Sunday-Tina and I are ministering in Village Church.
Let me know what the Lord tells you.
Thanks,
Lee

This coming weekend
This coming weekend, Tina and I will be ministering at Village Church on Sunday AM at 10AM. Love to see you.
A school for pastoral gifts.
I am seeing that the pastoral gifts are readying to gather. WE will let you know what that is going to look like shortly.
Last Friday (3-20)
To be honest, I thought we would have more up quicker, but the weekend got away from me. Sorry.
This past week we went over the power of 2 or 3 gathered in His name. The power of a prayer partner. The need to recognize our giftings have short sides and to be aware of them. We discussed pastoral, apostolic and prophetic giftings and their upsides and downsides. We will be putting that here, though you can scroll down and my wife covered it a few years ago.
We had a great meeting. We had a good time of ministry and the prophetic flowed. We "demoed" the gifts together a few times.
We look forward to seeing each of you this Friday.

Key Elements of an Apostolic Worldview
- Mark Sanchez
We have to get the definition of Apostolic correct to build community.
Apostolic is an worldview/mindset. It is from heaven to earth!
Kingdom Government has a perspective to build from heaven perspective and see it built on earth. The structure is seen in heaven first then set up on earth. Just like Moses got the pattern for the tabernacle from what he had seen in heaven.
It will produce life! It will create a structure that facilitates community/relationship. Heavens government is relational! Jesus was relational. The garden of eden was a relational place. God built it to have community/fellowship with us C"MON!!!!!
Apostolic is about family/Sons/Daughters Generations!!! Multiplication from a family perspective!!!

Readying for tomorrow night
Today will be a day of study to prepare for tomorrow night. Thee has been a lot of good feedback and that is exciting.
Because we are talking about the gifts, Mark felt this was a good add.

Last night's class.
Last night was a great intro night. Many thanks to Village Church in Swanzey for hosting this.
We had about 20 people, some driving well over an hour to get to us. We are thankful for the tenacity of people in the body.
We laid out the apostolic church last night. I think there is a tape and soon a CD of that class coming. We had some technical difficulties.
Some of the truths presented included:
The aligning of the five fold with Jesus as the head.
What is healthy church?
Ezekiel 37 is a call for relationships.
The one anothers of the scriptures.
What is the church?
How do pastors become better pastors? The same for prophets, etc..
We had good participation with questions and the like and that is what I like! Eastern teaching style.
Next week we will present how the gifts interact with one another. How does a pastor interact with a prophet (This might be a long class!!!) and the like. One of the questions last night was doesn't the evangelist go start the church. The church rests on the foundations of the apostles and the prophets. When we understand foundational pieces we can move things ahead with health. Some of the questions for next week will be can you go overboard in your gift? Are there short sides to your gift?
One of the interesting things in our classes is how people begin to connect. It is always cool to watch people interact.
Relationship with love is the answer.

School of the Prophets
This morning was spent in worship and prayer and meditation.
As I am studying and preparing for tomorrow night, I realize preparation is the fruit of worship. And so for nearly 4 hours I have been in worship and prayer (And a little FB). I see that what I thought we were going to do may shift and change slightly.
Here is the "schedule" below. Know that we may incorporate one with another in the freedom of the Holy Spirit. Also, my friend Mike Smith is planning on coming up the 15th-16th of May to bring prophetic worship.
Also, I have received some calls from some who are interested, including a few in coming from places like Lebanon. One wondered if there is anyone carpooling. Let me know about that.
Tomorrow
Session One Sunday the 15th
Introduction to the apostolic church
Some things included tomorrow.
-Dry Bones
-Getting the paradigm right
-A king on a throne can not establish a kingdom
-One anothers
After this we will be on FRIDAYS!
Two Begins Friday 20th
The interaction of the gifts in the body
Three
The anointing
Four
How does the prophetic fit into this model
Five
How does the prophet help the church
Six
The new testament prophet
Seven
A prophet can not function without the rest of the church
Eight
How to prophesy & activation
Nine
How you can bless your church body
Ten
Prophesy on the streets
From my friend Wayne Anderson
Hey Lee, this is lookin' good. I think you may have struck gold herein. Where are you going to hold the school?
Lee-
I will be holding it at Village Church in Swanzey, hopefully as a "model" (I hate that word) to be replicated and to carry to other places. It is the beginning of the "regional" piece I have carried in my heart. And as under the HG as I have been this AM, either God is really "shielding" me or really stirring things. Either way, I feel like I have been in one of your meetings!!!
And hopefully in the midst of it all I can carry my heart for fathers to arise that men like you and Brian have carried.
So, let the nuggets be revealed!
Wayne-
I perceive that there is a great need for teaching on the entire 5-fold again, like never before though. I am writing a syllabus for some "mini-5-fold-clinics" that we'll probably start seeing this summer sometime. So, I'm excited to hear you are doing this School of the Prophets! If you know of a way that I can help get folks to be part, let me know and I'll help what I can.
Do you have a website set up for it? That would be a good spot to start....
Lee-
Believe it or not. Me. Mister internet. Did not get around to it. I will work on it and let you know. We will be having the cd's available. It will be interactive. We are going to be working on the same thing with the other "folds." And certainly if you know people in the area, we would love your help. Some of the key things in my heart, are the integration and alignment of the gifts. Groups where pastoral gifting can mix with others and teachers with their own ilk to strengthen and refine. I think you will see a return to some of the "freedom network" ideology getting people to sharpen their skills to move the body forward while WORKING together with one another. Kind of like te scripture that is on the back of my bike...by what EVERY joint supplies. Thanks for your blessings and I will keep you in the loop.

I am writing a syllabus for some "mini-5-fold-clinics" that we'll probably start seeing this summer sometime. So, I'm excited to hear you are doing this School of the Prophets! If you know of a way that I can help get folks to be part, let me know and I'll help what I can.
Do you have a website set up for it? That would be a good spot to start....

Believe it or not. Me. Mister internet. Did not get around to it. I will work on it and let you know. We will be having the cd's available. It will be interactive. We are going to be working on the same thing with the other "folds." And certainly if you know people in the area, we would love your help. Some of the key things in my heart, are the integration and alignment of the gifts. Groups where pastoral gifting can mix with others and teachers with their own ilk to strengthen and refine. I think you will see a return to some of the "freedom network" ideology getting people to sharpen their skills to move the body forward while WORKING together with one another. Kind of like te scripture that is on the back of my bike...by what EVERY joint supplies. Thanks for your blessings and I will keep you in the loop.

request for prayer
As we prepare for our school, I would ask that those of you reading this, would pray. I am sensing a "slow mo" kind of attack. While the world is shaking, we know that the next few days are going to reveal many things. And to that end we ask that people pray.

Restart
This is to keep people up with the fact that Tia and I will be ministering in Swanzey Sunday night for the opening of the School Of The Prophets.
