Momentum is More than a Word

By LISETTE MALMBERG
I had the honor and privilege to be commissioned as an HIM Apostle in the year 2012. The thing that most impacted me about HIM is that I joined a family, not an organization. I had found my“ tribe”- people of like precious faith that are contending to see the knowledge of the glory of God cover the earth. In Papa Ché, I found a loving and genuinely committed spiritual father; in Mama Sue, a mom, who is deeply devoted to her children, both natural and spiritual. And my brothers and sisters in the family are each simply amazing in their passionate pursuit of Jesus and their dedication to His cause in the earth.
I believe that the restoration of the 5-fold ministry is essential and instrumental in equipping the saints and raising up a people that:
1 | Embrace their identity
2 | Understand their assignment
3 | Advance Papa God’ s Kingdom through God-inspired transformation movements
I believe we are in a new Apostolic Era, where the focus is not on the 5-fold ministry itself as an end, rather the understanding is that the gift of the Offices of Christ are given for a purpose- that the saints be equipped to effectively minister( serve) in their area of assignment, until … we“ come to the unity of faith, the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ”( Ephesians 4:13-14).
Being part of an Apostolic Movement that embraces BOTH revival and the transformation of society is critical to empowering us to run the race towards the prize!
