Five Fingers Have Now Touched The Earth

Ephesians 4: 11-13,”It was HE who gave some to be Apostles, Prophets, Evangelists, Pastors, and Teachers. To prepare God’s people for works for service, so that the body of Christ may be built up until we all reach unity in the father and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ.”

Below is not an attack on the ethics, calling, destiny, purpose, career, or design of the offices of Judges, lawyers, doctors, journalist, businessmen. They all have been given their rightful place of authority, according to Romans. A major shift is now here.

The former movements and wineskins are bursting right now. They are not good anymore. They are done. God has sown in and prepared a completely new wine for the new wineskin and it has begun. The former movements were great. They birthed many good things and matured a seasoned group that have taken over the leading of the church. It has gotten us here where we are today. Tomorrow is a brand new day and a completely different era.

The five-fold will now take over this earth and be the cause of the greatest outpouring and harvest this planet has ever seen. This is not a denomination or a fellowship. It is a divinely inspired structure that has been pushed aside, scrutinized, and even dejected for centuries on end. Now it is time! The fingers are touching the earth today.   I saw a vision of five fingers earlier today coming down on this day and touching the earth. It is the era of the maturity of the Five Fold Office, found in Ephesians chapter 4.

Up till now we have been living in the days of great businessmen leading our churches. We have judges that now rule the churches and this nation, just like in the days of the Old Testament. The result, wickedness abounded much! (Not every judge is bad, it is just that they have their rightful place and it is not to lead the church or nation. That is the assignment of the 5 fold office.)   We are living in a civil war era for the true apostolic mantle to cover this entire earth and it will. It is landing now!

The times of good oratorical and educated leaders are done. The days of Judges, journalist, doctors, attorneys, financial businessmen leading the church of Jesus Christ is coming to a close. We have lived too long in an era where those who had a title and a position within the church, or some kind of clout within the community or society have been leading the church. This does not just stop with those listed above. I am referring directly to those that have been directing the church that should not have. You know what I mean, someone writes a good book, or song, or discovers some scientific thing, or maybe even strikes it rich from a past uncle and now they become the authority to the church. Nope! The Five fold office is still the leader of the emerging Body of Christ.

They professional orators have taught us well. They have taught us how to become great administrators and “cautious.” BE Careful” they all shout. FOOLISH! Who has bewitched you, as Paul says! There is nothing careful about supernatural faith. “They often teach to “find balance”. Let me tell you that there is no such thing as “balance” in a world-wide apostolic outpouring. Jesus never “balanced” with the Pharisees, instead He always tipped the scales and knocked the boat right out of the water. Do you understand? There is nothing cautious about the five-fold leadership. It is the living entity that has been set in order from the foundations of the earth.  Without it, we are a smelly pool awaiting a quick showering to get by until tomorrow. “If we can just make it another day.” That is the mentality that we have succumbed too. It is a dead-end job, contrary to the purposes of the Five Fold Office. Those days and that fruit that we have all been forced to be under for so many years are now coming to an end. The true Five Fold office is emerging.

Of course, Jesus Christ is the head of the church. WE know that. We are also not allowed to belittle authority. That is what I am not attempting to do. All authority is given by God. Yes! All authority is also PLACED by God and it is time for the “original office of the five” to take their place. The previous groups (Judges, lawyers, doctors, journalist, businessmen) are not called by God, nor appointed to be the “voice calling and equipping” the church. For too long, someone comes in the church who knows how to make a buck or two and they become the spiritual leaders and advisors to the church. For too long, someone gets into Hollywood, or writes a great book and they become the voice to the church. This is very backwards. God will have HIS way in the five-fold structure of the church to BIRTH and EQUIP the entire body into FULL maturity in these last days. NO wonder our churches have taken decades to understand the “milk” of HIS Word. WE have been being led by the groups that have the knowledge and legalistic know-how to get something done, but without the GLORY of God to birth and protect it.

God appointed five offices to lead in unity. For way too long God has watched pastors, prophets, Apostles, teachers, and evangelist take the back row seats to the Judges, journalist, attorneys, businessmen, and doctors; and now it is coming to an end. (They are not going to vanish, but the structure of the new emerging apostolic outpouring is taking over. The previous group is still needed, but now placed in proper authority, which is under the five-fold office) The full glory revealed on this earth will only come when the true five-fold offices take their place. Until this happens, we will only be stirring the waters every so often for a small healing here and there. We are done with small healings and miracles. It is time for the full armor (The five fold office) to take over and see the ENTIRE body healed. God wants a completed and glorious bride healed and RUNNING in full power from on high.

The new wine and new wine skins coming on this earth will require a total transformation with an adoption of a completely scriptural structure that is called the Five-Fold Office. This new out pouring will not fit in systematic, pragmatic, denominational structures of the political and educational eras in the past. It is done. A new office is coming into play. The five fingers of heaven are touching the earth and are now taking over.   (see note below)

Acts 6: 4, “and we will give our attention to prayer and the ministry of the Word.”

The purpose for the five-fold first and foremost is Acts 6: 4. It is our assignments and priority to un-busy ourselves and put our efforts into prayer and the study of God’s Word. The Bible says that we are to “Study to show ourselves approved.” The old wine and old wineskins often produced great administrators. That is over. The new wine and new wineskins will ONLY produce those who are more hungry for the living God then they are this life. The true leaders of this new movement must be found regularly in personal prayer and Bible study. That is the whole foundation.

NOTE: I am not against the importance and value of Doctors, judges, attorneys, businessmen, and journalist. They are all very important. The end is coming for them to lead the church. I am not saying that these careers are going to die, nor not needed in the church anymore. I am saying that they will now be lead to function under proper authority, which is under the five-fold office and not over it. The five fold office is now taking over (Apostle, prophet, pastor, teacher, evangelist.) When they finally take their place, it will effect every crevice of this earth.

We all depend on them all. I depend on them and could not function without them. Their place is UNDER the five-fold office, not over it. The switch has begun. The Five-fold is servant-hood to develop the body of Christ, not slave driving. I am not saying that the former structures of Judge, lawyer, businessman, doctor, or journalism office is wicked. Nor am I saying that they are getting pushed aside. I am saying that they are now going to be placed in proper alignment under the five-fold office, the way it is supposed to be. With out proper alignment, it is like a wobbly tire attempting to move at high speeds. Eventually, it will explode.
