APOSTLE TALK – Future News Now Prince Handley Email this message to a friend. Subscribe to this Ezine teaching by Email: princehandley@gmail.com
This is a TRUE account of REAL MIRACLE happenings. ___________________________________________ I received a phone call from my Jewish friend, Leon Brookes, asking me if I would consider teaching on the “Gifts of the Holy Spirit” to a large adult class where he was one of the leaders at the First Baptist Church in Downey, California, USA. Leon told me they were studying “motivation” and he said the LORD had impressed him to invite me to share on the ministry of the Ruach Elohim (Spirit of God). I accepted the invitation and I remember clearly what I was thinking while sitting in the group area before I spoke. Before I got up to teach, a member of the class had requested prayer for a young man who had been a youth pastor at the church years before and who had just been in a very serious auto accident in another state … and who was in a coma. (That's all they knew about the situation.) Well, that got my attention. I then knew HOW the LORD wanted me to share about the Gifts of the Spirit. A few days before, I had been in a restaurant and overheard someone talking about the young pastor who was in the auto accident. They mentioned his name … but all they knew was that he was in the Twin Cities (Minneapolis – St. Paul) area of the United States (about 2,000 miles or 3,200 km away). The morning AFTER hearing about the accident in the restaurant I was on my knees praying. Before I got up from praying, I was praying for the young man who I heard about being involved in the auto accident. All I knew was his name: Mark Shore. I asked the LORD to heal him―BUT THEN―the LORD instructed me to go call him and pray for him. God told me that He wanted to heal him. I said, “I don't know where he's at!” “I don't know how to find him.” Then God told me, “Why don't you try?” “Why don't you give me the benefit of the doubt?” I thought, “Well, he's supposed to be somewhere in the Twin Cities area back East, so I guess I can just call hospitals in the area.” I got up and proceeded to call information for hospitals in that area. I think it was the second call I made that I found where Mark Shore was at. He had been in a coma, but when I called his room he was conscious. (His wife and child had died as a result of the accident as I remember.) When I talked to him (remember … we did NOT know each other), I read Psalm 116 to him, and prayed with him for his healing. I then gave him a prophecy about his future ministry. Then I hung up the phone. So … back to the meeting where I was getting ready to speak. When they asked me to come up to speak I forgot all about the incident of calling Mark Shore and praying with him. I started sharing with the audience about HOW the Gifts of the Holy Spirit can motivate people to encourage others … and, also, HOW each of the nine gifts of the Spirit operates. [1 Corinthians 12:7-12] Well … when I started to teach on how the gift of prophecy operates ... all of a sudden I remembered about Mark Shore―and when I prophesied to him on the phone a few days before―and then the explosion happened! I told the audience, “As an example of HOW the gift of prophecy operates … a few days ago I was on my knees praying and the LORD instructed me to call a young man who used to minister here at your church and prophesy to him and pray for his healing.” (I explained to them that I did NOT know him but had heard about him in passing conversation at a restaurant a few days before.) I told the audience, “If you would like to contact him, he is in Ramsey Hospital, Room 650, Bed No. 2, in St. Paul, Minnesota.” [Note: Ramsey Hospital is now Regions Hospital.] As soon as I said that, an anointing of healing broke out through the audience. One lady in the back stood up and said, “Fire just went through my body; I have been healed.” Many miracles happened during that service, and at the end, one of the other leaders asked me, “Will you please come to my house one night next week. We are having a meeting and would like you to share more about the Baptism of the Holy Spirit and the Gifts of the Spirit?” I said, “Yes” and made an appointment to meet with them at the home. The next week at the Home Bible Study several people received the Baptism in the Holy Spirit and spoke in tongues with several other MIRACLES happening. However, the beautiful result was that the next Sunday evening at the First Baptist Church 125 people received Christ as their Saviour after hearing what the LORD had been doing in and through the congregation. A few years later I was teaching at a Women's Conference in Ojai, California, USA. I don't remember what I was speaking about, but suddenly the Holy Spirit impressed me to share the testimony of when I had called Mark Shore and prayed for his healing and prophesied to him. It was the first―and only―time I had used his name (except at the First Baptist Church). A lady was so overcome by what I shared that after the meeting she told me the “rest of the story.” As a result of being healed―and as a result of the prophecy I gave to Mark Shore―his mother-in-law was saved and then she became an international speaker for Christian Women's Events. Obey God. Below are TWO resources that will greatly help you operate in the Gifts of the Holy Spirit and, also, help you learn HOW to prophesy with creative decrees. Plus a THIRD resource describing the divisiveness and protests happening today … with personal testimonies of people who had been caught up in anarchy and then became warriors for Christ. Also included is a prophetic section for YOU, the messenger of God.

UNIVERSITY OF EXCELLENCE Prince Handley LISTENING TO THE SPIRIT You can listen to this message NOW. Email this message to a friend. Subscribe to this Ezine teaching by Email: princehandley@gmail.com 24/7 release of Prince Handley teachings, BLOGS and podcasts > STREAM Text: “follow princehandley” to 40404 (in USA) There are several different reasons WHY you should want to listen to the Holy Spirit. However, the MAIN reason is that the LORD wants to give you a message for direction, protection or enablement. And, sometimes―if not many times―the message will be for someone else. Some people may NOT be able to listen to―or discern―the voice of the Spirit. Or, they may NOT want to listen to the voice of the Spirit due to rebellion or living in sin. Therefore, the LORD may send you a message via His Spirit to relay to the other person. In my experience the message is usually given for specific knowledge in an area where help or advice is needed: in my life or in the lives of others. The principles of God are timeless and transfer … and if we are students of God’s Word and have the knowledge of Proverbs we are able to navigate the problems and challenges of life. But when situations arise that are not clearly and specifically defined―as in ministry strategy or spiritual warfare or dream interpretation―then we need a “specific” word from the LORD. Many people read the Holy Bible, but they are NOT listening to the Holy Spirit. God wants us to apply His Word to our lives. This is where listening to the Spirit brings success, victory and accurate direction. ________________________________________ LISTENING TO THE SPIRIT
“Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, has come, he will guide you into all truth: One of the Holy Spirit's assignments is to glorify Christ. When you receive direction, help and enablement, Christ is glorified in your victorious life and testimony thereof: by your word and your lifestyle. The Holy Spirit guides you into ALL truth; spiritual, business, family, prophetic, physical, travel and relational truth. Many people read the Holy Bible, but they are NOT listening to the Holy Spirit. God wants us to apply His Word to our lives. This is where listening to the Spirit brings success, victory and accurate direction. As you become attuned―skilled―in listening to the Spirit, you will begin to notice that sometimes shortly after you receive a message you will experience a confirmation. For example, [I recently had this happen] if you receive a message about advice you would give a person, that person may contact you not long after and ask you for advice concerning the same (not knowing that you have already heard from God concerning them or their situation). Sometimes listening to the Holy Spirit will be synonymous with the gift of prophecy. For example, one time after a large seminar I was conducting in Chicago a lady came up to me and said, “I have two wombs …” I had already finished praying with people and I was really wanting to go to the place where I was to stay and go to bed. When the lady said, “I have two wombs …” my first thought was, “I must have preached past the anointing.” (I wanted to be anywhere but there.) What the lady said in full was this, “I have two wombs. If I conceive in the one womb the life will live, but if I conceive in the other (womb) the life will die. Do you have a word for me?” Instantly―without thinking about it―I said to her, “You will have a son. He will live, and his name will be Samuel.” When I was in Chicago about a year later I met little Samuel. In similar manner, listening to the Spirit may sometimes by synonymous with the Word of Knowledge. For sure―if you operate in the gifts of the Spirit like Prophecy and the Word of Knowledge―you definitely need to be listening to the Holy Spirit. Study my book, How to Receive God’s Power with Gifts of the Spirit. But there are times that God wants to give you a message for yourself and it may be just for reflection, or to meditate thereon. He may want you to think about what you would do in a certain situation that may be coming up in the future and you do NOT know about it yet―or, the complete details have not dovetailed together yet―and may not for quite some time. You have to realize that God is for you. As in the gifts of the Holy Spirit, the motive for listening to the Spirit should be to edify, improve, deliver, make whole or provide intelligence. Thank God, He did not leave us here without the tools and weapons we need to operate in power and victory … and especially as we progress into the End Times. Realize this: we are at the entrance to the End Times. If the Early Church―or Messianic Synagogue―needed the gifts of the Holy Spirit and the five fold ministries of Apostle, Prophet, Evangelist, Pastor and Teacher as laid out in Ephesians 4:11, how much more do we need them today? And, how much more will the followers of Messiah Jesus need them as we progress further along into the End Times. We need to start our day with the Word of God. We need to be students of the Word of God. “So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God.” (Romans 10:17) So the Word of God is the channel through which the activities of the Holy Spirit operate. When we have the Word of God in us―and operate based upon the Word of God―we hear (from God … from His Spirit). And when we hear from God, faith rises and MIRACLES happen. But remember also, this is all predicated upon love. “Faith works by love.” (Galatians 5:6) The Word of God is the channel though which faith flows, and love is the activator which triggers faith. If you are living for God, then give God the benefit of the doubt. I have seen many MIRACLES since I learned to give God the benefit of the doubt. If you're NOT sure the message is from God, then check to make sure it does NOT conflict with Scripture. If it does NOT conflict with Scripture, then ask God for a confirmation that is clear and concise. NOTE: If you are “seasoned” in listening to the Holy Spirit then you probably won't require a confirmation. We should NOT be surprised that the LORD works this way in addition to His many other modes of communication. We read of Him doing this throughout Bible in both the Tanakh (Old Testament) and the Brit Chadashah (New Testament). God has NOT changed. “For I am the LORD; I do not change.” (Malachi 3:6) It's people who have not changed that corrupt His program. People who have never seen healing will tell you that God does not heal. People who have never seen miracles will tell you that MIRACLES do not happen anymore. People who do NOT believe in Apostles or Prophets operating today will tell you that those offices ceased after the Early Messianic Synagogue. However, to say that would be to prove ignorance―or, folly―as that would mean that the Scripture in Ephesian 4:11 has been rescinded: “And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers.” No more pastors, teachers and evangelists either!
Also, realize that the LORD wants to communicate with people more than we do. And, He does NOT want his messages of direction and help to be cryptic or hard to understand. It amazes me how many people have never read the Holy Bible completely. Here's the greatest communication to mankind and they treat it like a magazine. My friend, get the Word inside you and YOU will begin to hear God. Start your day with it and end your day with it. I made a rule for my life years ago: “No Bible … no breakfast.” The day is coming when the world government and the world religious system will destroy Bibles … including YOURS if you're still here. Then YOU will need to listen to the Spirit … and it may be too late. The Holy Spirit will guide you into ALL truth as you listen to Him. Here are THREE resources to help you: “New Testament Bible Studies” … “Prophecy, Transition & Miracles … and “How To Receive God's Power with Gifts of the Spirit.” Baruch haba b'Shem Adonai.

APOSTLE TALK - Future News Now! THE ROLE OF APOSTOLIC MINISTRY TODAY You can listen to this message NOW. For INSTANT REPLAY, go to: www.blubrry.com/prophecy/ Please email this message to a friend. After you listen to this message, you can scroll down for all messages RSS PODCAST 24/7 release of Prince Handley blogs, teachings, and podcasts >>> STREAM
THE ROLE OF APOSTOLIC MINISTRY TODAY INTRO / MUSIC There are several TYPES of evangelical churches today, but they can be classified usually into one or more of three (3) groups: INTERPRETIVE - These churches believe that Jesus is Lord. DEDUCTIVE - Based on inference of scripture, these churches are further divided into sub-groups. For example, those who believe in the Baptism in the Holy Spirit, speaking in tongues, operation of the gifts of the Spirit . . . and those who do not. CULTURAL - These churches appeal to the styles and movements of the current day and may be further divided into two (2) groups: traditional and seeker sensitive. Apostle Handley’s book on Militant Church History (written in 1973) is right on track today and lists the seven (7) stages of church history: past and prophetic. Just a cursory review of recent decades, however, shows something as to the movement of the Holy Spirit (with some aberrations of men). In the late 1960s and into the 1970s, we had the "hippy" movement. In the 1980s we had the coming of age of the burgeoning "baby boomers." In the 1990s we had the "Me" (the selfish) generation, with examples such as "Seinfeld." Today, we are in the infant stages of the "rupture" of society ... and at the same time, the infant stages of the apostolic church. By the "rupture" of society I am talking about the appearance of militant Islamic fundamentalism. MUSIC We hear lots of commentary by news media outlets saying that Islam is the fastest growing religion in the world. This is NOT correct. Christianity is the fastest growing religion in the world. Demographics and surveys are drawn from largely the traditional and denominational churches. The statistics do NOT account for the fact that much of exploding church growth occurs in the non-traditonal, non-mainline, non-denominational churches: much in house churches and the underground church ... SUCH AS IN CHINA! However, there IS now a large growth of Islam. Why? Because people want to identify themselves with . . . to belong to or be part of . . . a culture. It is TIME for a NEW CHURCH: one that is drawn by the Spirit to people and one to which people are drawn by the Spirit! The NEW church understands the current culture, the people and their styles. The following statistics are representative of this NEW church:
We must reach this youngest group! If you haven’t already studied about this, go to www.realmiracles.com and in the upper right of any page "Search" for "The Greatest Outreach." Also, go to the Archives of The Apostles Group and search for: "Trends, Times, and Tongues." [August 28, 2004] The NEW APOSTOLIC church will reach people in their styles and cultures with anointed music. People will join a church when they SEE people EXCITED about their faith. Acts 15:15-18 tells us: "This agrees with the words of the prophets. As it is written, 'After these things I will return. I will again build the tent (tabernacle) of David, which has fallen. I will again build its ruins. I will set it up, That the rest of men may seek after the Lord; All the Gentiles who are called by my name, Says the Lord, who does all these things. All his works are known to God from eternity." This scripture is referring to Amos 9:11 foretelling the rebuilding of the dynasty of David through Messiah who would come. However, it has a multiple fulfillment, also, in the building of the Kingdom of God (even before the 1,000 year Messianic Kingdom on earth) by the organic spiritual growth of the resurrected Messiah's body of believers. The Messianic synagogues and churches today who operate in the apostolic and prophetic functions ... and who abound with the high praises of God ... are creating NEW birthings of the Spirit and forging alliances of ministry purposes:Individual birthings of the Spirit through repentance and believing the Good News ... and corporate birthings of NEW synagogues and churches, whether they meet in offices, buildings, houses, the desert, or forests. What was the Tabernacle of David like? It was NOT like Solomon’s Temple, with all its wealth and gold. The Tabernacle of David was a "make-shift" tent where the praises of God resounded. Even King David, when he was returning with the Ark of the Covenant was dancing and praising God publicly (and almost nude)! MUSIC The NEW APOSTOLIC church will have prophetic dancers: even incorporating new cultural themes in music. The NEW APOSTOLIC church will have a NEW BREED who will want to join and participate in MIRACLES: people who want to be instruments through whom the Holy Spirit will flow to bring healing to sinful, bruised humanity. A brother in my area recently took a campus survey at one of California’s major universities. In that survey the students were asked the question: "What will it take to get you into church?" The majorityof the university students being surveyed answered: "We want to SEE God’s miracles and the supernatural." Have you ever noticed that the churches and people who say “wanting to see miracles” is wrong are the ones who are NOT experiencing MIRACLES? Jesus never blasted people for wanting to see or experience MIRACLES. He blasted them because they just wanted to take part in eating the bread that was multiplied. Yeshua answered them, "Most certainly I tell you, you seek me, not because you saw signs, but because you ate of the loaves, and were filled." [John 6:26] During 1950-1960 several great healing ministries were raised up by God. Many people were saved as a result. Then in the period from 1960 to 1970 there was great emphasis on pastoring to care for the thousands of new converts. Then, from 1980 to 1990 there was great emphasis on teaching. Around 1990 many new prophetic ministries were raised up, along with praise and worship. Now, we are in the INFANT STAGES of the NEW APOSTOLIC CHURCH. MUSIC The PROPHETIC brings things to pass in the Spirit. It opens up new vistas and causes them to happen. The APOSTOLIC takes the different forms of ministry and unites them into a harmonious unit. The APOSTLE recognizes that the fivefold ministries are NOT ministries necessarily of accuracy, but rather of function to bring about a cohesive objective: the formation of the Tabernacle of David and the growth and dominion of the Kingdom of God. The apostle of the NEW CHURCH should probably have experience in all functions: not just the apostolic, but also as prophet, evangelist, pastor, and teacher. It was not too long ago, before the fall of Communism, that Albania was known as the hardest Communist country. Just to mention the name "God" would result in a jail or prison sentence. There was a Muslim man who was about to die of radiation contact. A Christian brother told him about Jesus and His healing power, then laid hands on him and prayed for him. The man went to the hospital to be checked again and they found he was completely healed. The doctor asked him, "How did this happen?" The man said, "A man told me about Jesus, and that He could heal me; the man laid his hands on me and prayed for me in Jesus’ name . . . and I am healed!" Then the doctor, in simple belief and scientific query, asked the man who had been healed: "Would that happen to the other people here in this hospital?" The man something like, "I think so." So, the doctor asked him to go around and pray for the people in Jesus’ name and lay hands on them. The hospital was emptied. About that time, there was a NEW BREED of young people who simply believed God and went to the hospitals praying for the sick in Jesus’ name. Hospitals were actually closed down because of the number of people who were healed. The NEW BREED is waiting for you . . . and for the NEW APOSTOLIC CHURCH! Baruch haba b'Shem Adonai.
