THE GENERALS OF THE CHURCH:
APOSTOLIC FOUNDATION
The foundation of the church are the Apostles and Prophets with Jesus being the chief cornerstone. This means that, if the Apostles and Prophets are not in place the church is not in the right structure and the people are not built. If Jesus is not the chief cornerstone there could be no windows,walls, roof,buildings etc. that is sound and no spiritual habitation for the Holy Spirit to dwell and to perform his super-natural creative power. Ephesians 4 and 5 says that jesus gave the Church Apostles, Prophets, Evangelist, Pastors and Teachers. So these Five-Fold Generals are called to equip, train, raise up,activate empower and then release the church for the works of ministry (...heal the sick,cleanse the lepers,raise the dead,cast out devils [Matthew 10:8] They are spiritual generals.
APOSTLES, PROPHETS, EVANGELIST,
PASTOR & TEACHERS
APOSTLES - GENERAL
The ministry of the apostleship is one that is called from-the Creek word Apostollos - meaning sent one, a delegate, one who have the sending anointing, a calling anointing—a general, an ambassador. A General and an Apostle is the same thing in the Kingdom of God. The Apostle is one who works with all of the spiritual leaders in all of the five fold; apostles, prophets, evangelist, pastors and teachers—bringing them together to work together to raise up the saints.
TEACHER - GENERAL
Teachers are the ones who lay down biblical teaching principals that is consisted with the Apostolic Doctrine of the church and share it to bless God's people (Jesus is Lord, he died on the cross, he shed his blood for our sins, his name and blood has power, he arose on the third day, he ascended to heaven, he sent the Holy Spirit, he is our chief intercessor, he is coming back for a spotless bride, etc.) They work along with the five fold.
PROPHET - GENERAL
Prophet generals are those who submit and work in relationship as a team with the Apostles. They receive revelation from the Lord to speak forth the word of the Lord, to minister the word of the Lord and to speak-tell the church what God say. The church is suppose to hear the word of the Lord, respond and build upon that.
EVANGELIST - GENERAL
The Evangelist is called to win souls everyday, all day and at all costs. They pull people out of the kingdom of darkness and bring them into the kingdom of light. So that they could be used for the Power and the Glory of God. They are to work along with the local church. The Apostle and Prophets assigns the particular area to target - a particular city, village, town, nation etc. They are called to win and reach that area as a team.
PASTOR - GENERAL
The local pastor who the Apostle and Prophet has set in place in a particular area-town, region etc. After people have been won and saved; they have been prophetically spoken to and the Apostle have laid the foundation and planted the church and ministry in that area then the local pastor comes in. They are generals for nurturing and caring for the people.
INTERCESSOR - GENERAL
The Intercessor is not the only one who prays and they are work in relationship with not above other ministers in the five fold to know who they are praying for.
TEAM WORK
The five fold generals is a TEAM MINISTRY, they are called to work as such, and it is not an individual assignment. If we are talking about an army, each person must know who the generals are-are the a 1,2,3,4,5 star ranking officer?

What is the army's mission and assignment's?
-
What is the army's authority in area, town, village or nation etc.?
-

Each Person in the army must know their ranking/calling and must function divinely so the end product/result is lives saved, people transformed and the kingdom of God is Glorified, exalted and pushed to another dimension.
