The last day Christian understands that we have always had pastors. However, some of the other offices God has place in the church for the maturing of the saints has been a little bit more misunderstood or vague. I hope this teaching I did last night helps. (The message is linked below for your listening pleasure.)

What does a pastor do? They Guard God’s people. They walk in love.

The church moved on and from the 1700’s until 1960 we had the age of the Evangelist. What does an Evangelist do? They are the hand of God, they Gather. They get people saved. They are the hand of God and do signs and wonders.
 
But God kept moving on. From 1960-1980 we had the teachers. Teachers Ground people. Joyce Meyers, Kenneth Copeland, Kenneth Hagin, Oral Roberts. They give the doctrine of the Bible and ground people in truth.
 
At the beginning of 1990’s we had the restoration of the Prophets. Prophets give Guidance. They are pointers. The prophets offer the mind of God.
 
In this day and age, we are at the stage of the Apostle. The Apostle Governs. An apostle is a father/mother. He establishes the church and shows the heart of God.

ACTION STEP: ​This is what God is doing right now. God is raising up spiritual parents to mentor a last-day army of prote’ge’s. Last day Christians need to make sure they are in a church, that has the prophetic and apostolic, flowing in their lives to release their gifts; and then they can move on.
