APOSTOLIC-PROPHETIC ANOINTING OR MANTLE

 As an in-depth study of the word anoint reveals that it was used to consecrate people to a particular position or ministry in ministering with an apostolic-prophetic anointing, it means one can minister with some blessings of that ministry .it is those who are ministering under the anointing of apostles and prophets. Prophet Isaiah declares that we destroy yokes because of the anointing (Isa.10:27).In present-day application, this means the manifest presence of God upon a person to meet specific needs.

 To say a person has an apostolic or prophetic anointing means that he or she has the calling to be anointed to minister at different moments with the anointing of the prophet or apostle. It does not necessarily mean the calling or office of a prophet or apostle. Mantle has a similar meaning. If someone has prophesied that you have a prophetic mantle, it implies that you can minister in prophetic ministry. To what realm will be determined by time and use (Ex.28:41; Ps.2:2; 23:5; 105:15; Zec.4:6; Heb.1:19).

APOSTOLIC-PROPHETIC MINISTERS

 Apostolic-Prophetic ministers are all other ministers who do not have the office of the “prophet,” but who do hold another office of the fivefold ministry and KNOW that there are apostles and prophets in the Body of Christ today. They may move in prophetic ministry by prophesying with the gift of prophecy, or by giving personal prophecy with a prophetic presbytery, do prophetic counseling and ministry with gifts of the Holy Spirit, or minister

in prophetic worship. All fivefold New Testament ministers in whichever office should be able to speak a Rhema word revealing the mind and purpose of God for specific situations and people(2Cor.3:6;1Cor.14:31).They should also manifest the miraculous.

APOSTOLIC-PROPHETIC COUNSELING

 One-on-one ministry to help people with scriptural wisdom and insight, but also with the gifts of the Holy Spirit to discover root problems and minister deliverance, inner healing, etc. Apostolic-prophetic counseling serves a little different purpose than the ministry of the prophet, prophetic presbytery, or general counseling. The word of Knowledge and discerning of spirits are two key gifts necessary to move in this realm effectively. Allows the counselor to cut through hours of discussion and look beyond the veil of human reasoning to get right to the heart of the matter and bring resolution. This is what makes biblical counseling much more effective than that of the psychologist and psychiatrist who use only human wisdom and psychology. Deals with the root more than the fruit.

 APOSTOLIC-PROPHETIC MINISTRY

 All methods by which the Holy Spirit makes known the heart and mind of Christ to people. Prophetic ministry includes the ministry of the prophet (the ascension gift office), prophetic ministers (those not called to the fivefold office of the prophet but who operate in the gift and anointing of prophecy) and all prophetic Saints (those who have been equipped to hear the voice of the Holy Spirit for themselves). It includes all the ministry and manifestations of the Holy Spirit and all the scriptural ways in which God can be praised. This includes prophetic worship with singing, praising, prophesying, and song of the Lord, praise dance, mime, and sign language. In fact, it includes all dedicated physical expressions which may properly glorify God and edify the Church. Apostolic ministry is moving in the supernatural ministry of signs, wonders, and miracles while maintaining a proper relationship in the Body of Christ. It includes those called to the office of apostle, those with an apostolic anointing, and all Saints who demonstrate the supernatural works of Jesus in their lives and ministries.

 APOSTOLIC-PROPHETIC PEOPLE

 Saints who are full of the Holy Spirit and fulfilling the Commands to “desire spiritual gifts” and “covet to prophesy” (1Cor12-vs-31); (1 Corinth 14-vs-1-2 and 39 KJV). They KNOW in, propagate, and support the ministry of apostles and prophets in the Kingdom and Body of Christ today. They earnestly desire and are exercising their spiritual senses to be fully educated and activated in all the gifts of the Holy Spirit that Christ has ordained for them. They are also submitted to divine authority and order(heb.5:14;1Cor.12:1,7,11;15:16) to return and establish His kingdom over all the earth.

PROPHETIC ANOINTING AND MANTLE

An in-depth study of the word “anoint reveals that it was used to consecrate people to a particular position or ministry. In ministering with prophetic anointing, it means you are enduing people with the presence of Christ and the gifts and graces of the Holy Spirit. Is.10:27 declares yokes are destroyed because of the anointing. In present-day application, this means the manifest presence of God to meet specific needs.

     To say a person has a prophetic anointing means that they have the calling to move into the prophetic ministry. It does not necessarily mean this person has the calling of the office of “prophet.”

Prophetic mantle has a similar meaning. If someone has prophesied you have a prophetic mantle, it implies that you have the gifted ability to minister in prophetic ministry, to what realm will be determined by time and use. (Ex. 28:41; Psalms 2:2; 23:5; 105:15; Zec. 4:6; Heb. 1:19).

SCHOOL OF PROPHETS (SONS OF THE PROPHETS)

 Webster Dictionary: “Among the ancient Israelites, were school or colleges in which young were trained to become teachers of among, the people. These students were called ‘Sons of the Prophets’.”

          This refers to a group of people who have the calling too prophetic ministry and have come together at one place to be schooled in hearing and recognizing the true voice of God and how to properly timely minister that Word with grace and wisdom for the greatest glory to God and good to mankind. Samuel is recognized as the founder of the School of Prophets which was continued by such prophets as Elijah and Elisha.

          Based on (1 Sam. 19:20) regarding Saul, David and Samuel, the “school of the Prophets” also serves as a covering for the David  company (the new order of the Ministry which God is raising up) to nurture and protect them from persecution of the old religious order (Saul’s).
