Five fold offices

All Eph.4:11 five ministry offices, apostle, prophet, evangelist, shepherd and teacher, are called to prepare the saints ready for the work of the Gospel (Eph.4:10-12). For this to take place they all should minister in local congregations teaching and preaching, and training believers also in personal level.

Shepherds, in many cases, are doing all that alone. This has caused them to be overloaded and burned out, and the saints being neglected. The office of a teacher should be better utilized in the Body of Christ, than what it is at the present, and shepherds should welcome apostles and prophets to minister in local churches.

The restoration of the offices of an apostle and a prophet is going on in Body of Christ, to function as in the early church, discribed in the Bible.There is an urgent need of the strong impact of apostles and prophets in local congregations.

We are living the time of fulfillment of Eph. 4:10-16. The living Body of Christ is being built up to the full measure of Christ, as the bride of Christ, and each member prepared to fulfill their calling for the last great harvest.

Preparing saints for their ministry, the building of the Body of Christ

“He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers, for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ…” (Eph. 4:11-12)

The walk of a believer towards the more powerful influence of God through him, consists of three main states, similar to the three place in a temple; the outer court, the holy place and the holy of holiest. A believer is either fleshly, soulish or spiritual. The coal is to stay on Zion, God’s Mountain, which is the Holy of holiest, and to walk in the Spirit.

Ef.4:11 offices are called to prepare the belivers for the work to use their talents and gifts. Gongregations should receive all the ministry offices to teach and to engourage the saints to seek and to use their talents. Acts 3:21 tells us it’s time to restore all things before the Lord comes, He wants to glorify His House and to have all os us in our place and in full ministry, till we all are in the full measure of Chrsit. Eph, 4:11-16 shows how this is purposed to happen.

LORD’S GOVERNMENT, GOD’S ORDER!

“… a son will be given to us; and the government will be on His shoulders; and His name will be called Wonderful Counselor…” (Isaiah 9:6)

we need Governmental Reformation for the church of Christ, so that God can fill it with His glory, and that the Holy Spirit is able to work with full power. According to the Bible God gave His glory to the temple when it was fully ready; Tabernacle of Moses; when it was fully erected the glory of God came down, Salomon’s temple; at the inauguration the glory fell, and in NT; when they were gathered in the upper hall, and the Pentecost was fully come, the glory came down.

It’s time to get the Body build up to the full measure of Christ, for us to get the glory of God as His Bride (Eph. 5:27).

The church of Christ has the New Testament already for 2000 years, but still not following the orders and model for the structure or function we see there for the church, why is this so?

In Finland the Lord woke us up for this, when He sent an angel to give a message to Veronika West on her way to Finland. Veronika fell in sleep in the airplane to Helsinki and an angel appeared to her with this word: Finland has 5 years time of grace to choose: church reformation or goat nation!

We pray that this word would reach the whole church in our country to humble ourselves and seek the Lord how to get this big change to take place in congregations. 3 years ago we had “Time of Change in the Church” – meetings, first in 12 cities and later in 9 more cities, to call the church to turn back to the Word. Now, after Veronika’s visit, the Lord told me to gather of group of apostles, prophets and shepherds to meet together monthly to seek ways to reformation.

In this group we found NEED FOR REFORMATION IN THESE MATTERS:

• Because of man has taken the place of the head, there is man’s order in the church, and because of that the will and plans of God for congregations can not take place

• The honest seeking of God’s will and honor is missing, instead there is seeking of mens favour; thus the helping believers to grow in all things to the head (Ef.4:15) is not taking place, but rather they are led to grow into spiritual leaders and local congregations.

Lord Jesus will restore everything to match the will of God in the time of reformation, which will be during the times of His return (Acts. 3:21). We are living that time right now, and He is going to fulfill the reformation Luther started in 1550 by restoring the understanding of salvation to be through faith.

Much is still to do, and we notice that when we read the New Testament writings on the church of Christ, the structure and the function of it. The model of the living temple of Jesus has been shown to us in the Bible, and we need to build exactly according to that. This means the fivefold ministry to prepare every saint fully reafy for their calling, the buidling up the Body of Christ (Eph. 4:11-13). The structure of the local congregation (the office of a shepherd being collaboration of the elders) and the church meetings to follow the model in the Bible; when we come together everyone has something to give, so that we truly will be built up by each member of the Body (Eph. 4:16). Also we need to remember that the goal of all the fivefold ministry, also of the shephed, is to get the believers in all things to grow into the head, Lord Jesus (not to the congrigation of any spiritual leader).

We notice many other things in the Word of God where we need to return to it, but here are few practical things which we could, if we wold want to, but let’s start with these very practical things first! And let’s pray the Holy Spirit to help the church of Christ to wake up to the need of reformation!

THE WARNING BY AN ANGEL CONCERNING THE REFORMATION WORK

I will share here a vision the Lord showed to my friend, as we were praying together some weeks ago. I believe it’s an advise and a warning to us in the call for reformation in Finland and in other countries too.

In th vision there was a big angel above Finland having in his/hers other hand an old broken wine skin with the wine flowing to the ground. In the other hand he/she had a grain spike.

The old broken wine skin warns us to pour out the new wine to the old wine skins. The grain spike is for a mature grain, the remnant that this end time reformation will produce. Repeytyneet vanhat leilit näyssä varoittavat meitä kaatamasta uutta viiniä vanhoihin leileihin. T

The Lord Himself has said, that no one will pour the new wine to the old wine skins, as they could not hold it without breaking and the ownner loosing both the wine skins and the wine.

New wine is the work of the Holy Spirit in restoring the church to the perfect will and plan of God. All the previous restoration waves have been the new wine. Those wine skins that have not received the new wine of those restorations, have become old wine skins. Those wine skins that have received it have been able to renew their wine skin so that they have remain new.

Also those wine skins that have been born by the new restoration wave, are of course new wine skins. Every new restoration wave births new wine skins.

The message this angel brougth to us, is that we should not try to pour the new wine to the old wine skins, but let them be happy with the wine they got from the Lord earlier. Other wise, if we try pour the wine to them, Lord Jesus is in danger to loose them.

When we preach and teach the reformation, the returning to the Word of God. we need to let the old wine skins choose if they try to receive the wine of not. The same goes with every believer, the choise is theirs. We freely give, but they have the right to decide if they want to get it nor not. We have to respect that.

Lord Jesus has bought every one of us, and He owns all His flocks. We need to work for the reformation in the shalom and love of our Lord. Reformaton is not a question of salvation, it’s the restoring the church of Christ to the full measure of Christ by the leading of Himself and according to His Word.

It’s time for Eph.4:11-16 to be fulfilled; every believer to be prepared to be fully ready for their calling from the Lord, and the Body of Christ to come to the full measure of Christ. This reformation os totally free to receive or not. Let the blessing and leading of our Lord, the Prince of Peace, be on us so that we are able to work in His love!

TAISTELUHUUTO

Veronika West toi vierailullaan syyskuussa 2025 Jumalan lähettämän enkelin sanoman Suomelle; “Seurakunnan reformaatio tai vuohikansa, viiden vuoden armonaika valita.” (koko enkelin sanoma löytyy kotsivujemme etusivulta).

Miksi seurakunnan reformaatiolla eli paluulla Jumalan Sanaan on niin suuri kansallinen merkitys?

Jumalan tuomioissa on kysymys lopulta suhtautumisesta Hänen Poikaansa Jeesukseen Kristukseen, jonka Hän lähetti pelastukseksi maailmalle, niin yksilöille kuin kansoillekin. Kun Jeesus puhuu (Matt.25) kansojen tuomioista, tulee huomata, mitä Hän oikeastaan siinä sanoo: “‘Totisesti minä sanon teille: kaiken, minkä olette jättäneet tekemättä yhdelle näistä vähimmistä, sen te olette jättäneet tekemättä MINULLE'”

“Hänessä meillä on lunastus, syntien anteeksisaaminen, 15ja hän on näkymättömän Jumalan kuva, esikoinen ennen kaikkea luomakuntaa. 16Sillä hänessä luotiin kaikki, mikä taivaissa ja mikä maan päällä on, näkyväiset ja näkymättömät, olkoot ne valtaistuimia tai herrauksia, hallituksia tai valtoja, kaikki on luotu hänen kauttansa ja häneen, 17ja hän on ennen kaikkia, ja hänessä pysyy kaikki voimassa. 18Ja hän on ruumiin, se on: seurakunnan, pää; hän, joka on alku, esikoinen kuolleista nousseitten joukossa, ETTÄ HÄN OLISI KAIKESSA ENSIMMÄINEN.” (Kol.1:14-18)

Kysymys on siis aina Herrasta Jeesuksesta, ei esim. Israelista tai meidän hyvistä teoistamme ihmisille ihmisten takia, vaan Herran takia. Siksi seurakunnan tila on niin merkittävä; onko siellä Herra Jeesus päänä ja noudatetaanko siellä Raamattua eli Jumalan Sanaa, joka on Jeesus Kristus. Kysymys on siitä, onko Herra Jeesus saanut ensimmäisen sijan kaikessa Jumalan Huoneessa maassamme, koska siitä riippuu koko kansamme kohtalo. Jumalan tuomiot alkavat Hänen huoneestaan.

Jumalan lähettämän enkelin sanomasta Veronika West kertoi: “SUOMI, Jumalan Rakastettu, SYNNYTTÄÄ TAISTELUHUUTOA … SODAN KARJUNTA on nousemassa Suomen ekklesian ylle jumalallista ennalleen asettamista ja USKONPUHDISTUSTA VARTEN…”

Myöhemmin siinä mainitaan: “Kansan, joka painii uuden nimensä siunauksen puolesta, kansan, joka huutaa taisteluhuudon… ”EMME PÄÄSTÄ IRTI ENNEN KUIN…”!!!” sekä: “…NÄIN KANSAKUNNAN TULEVAN VAKAVAAN KANNANOTTOON…PAINISKELUA JA

SOTIMISTA TÄMÄN KANSAKUNNAN SYNTYMÄOIKEUDESTA…JA SITTEN KUULIN TAISTELUHUUDON NOUSEVAN KANSAKUNNAN YLLE…”ME EMME HELLITÄ ENNEN KUIN”…!!!”

JESUS CAME OUT OF THE TEMPLE and went away… (Matt.24:1).

We are entering the time the words of Jesus to His wine dressers and builders concerning His Church on earth, will be fulfilled; those who have not received, or have forsaken, the Cornerstone, will find out there room to be desolate and forsaken by the Lord Himself.

He had warned those who forsake The CORNERSTONE that their house WOULD BE LEFT DESOLATE!

He said: Not a stone will be left on it. (Matt.24).

And in John 2: Destroy this temple, and I WILL BUILD it in three days… But He spoke about His LIVING BODY!!

We need to wake up and GET MOVING FOLLOWING HIM! Get out from those structures which have forsaken Him, and turned to build a church of their own. It’s time to make sure we have the Cornerstone in it*s proper place, in order to have also the Capstone in its place.

THE LIVING TEMPLE, the Body of Christ (1 Peter 2:4-7)

“Coming to Him as to a living stone, rejected indeed by men, but chosen by God and precious, you also, as living stones, are being built up a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. Therefore it is also contained in the Scripture, “Behold, I lay in Zion A chief cornerstone, elect, precious, And he who believes on Him will by no means be put to shame.” Therefore, to you who believe, He is precious; but to those who are disobedient, “The stone which the builders rejected Has become the chief cornerstone”

ORDER OF GOD, OR ORDER OF MAN? (Matt. 21:42-43)

– Do we have God’s order in the church, or man’s order? That shows if we may have rejected the Cornerstone…

“Jesus said to them, “Have you never read in the Scriptures: The stone which the builders rejected Has become the chief cornerstone. This was the Lord’s doing, And it is marvelous in our eyes’? “Therefore I say to you, the kingdom of God will be taken from you and given to a nation bearing the fruits”

He said to those; your house will be left desolate.

It’s time to check up how we are doing with the things He trusted to us, as the time for God’s judgement is drawing near, and it will start from His own House, the church.
