God has decreed and is doing a NEW THING in this last hour as He declares in His Word (numerous times) He will do! The "New Thing" He is now doing in the Church Jesus is building is the restoration and reactivation of the genuine Apostolic Anointing and function! The Apostolic Anointing and function are absolutely vital to the fulfillment of God's end-times purposes and plans! In fact, they cannot be fulfilled without the functioning of the apostolic in that the apostolic office and function is one part of the two-part foundation of the Church Jesus is building (Eph. 2:20). Despite the plethora of problems associated with the restoration of the apostolic and prophetic functions in the 21st Century, God has no other plan to work through than that which He was published in his Word for the spiritual development of individual believers and the collective church, i.e., the Fivefold Ministry Offices (functions) working together in tandem and concinnity to fulfill this task (Eph. 4:11-16)! Every other "plan" or "program" for that end goal is merely "man-made" and therefore inferior to God's and doomed to failure! This is the cold, hard fact! Literally every former restorational move of God transpiring since the Protestant Reformation (1517) has been fraught with human failures and humanly-caused faults and frustrations to the fulfillment of God's purposes and plans for each of those movements! Nothing on this earth is perfect now in this dispensation, before "the perfect comes." The fault with every such former restorational move of God was neither the move itself or God who initiated it! The fallenness of humanity is the foundational cause for all such failures, for "we have this treasure in earthen vessels!" This movement in the 21st Century, continuing from the Prophetic Restoration Movement transpiring in the last quarter of the 20th Century, is no exception; neither should it be expected to be. Man always makes messes in the fulfilling of God's messages to His Church. It's never perfectly carried out without flaws and blemishes! That's just the way it is! We can bemoan and complain about the imperfections all we want and wish it was otherwise but that won't change it one iota. Unfortunately (or not), the perfect group left the building a long time ago! We are left now with the IMperfect--like me and you! We, imperfect vessels, are all God has to work with at this time!
