Introduction:
- Apples of Gold Ministries’ aim is to equip, mentor and empower the Body of Christ with clear Biblical foundations to grow and develop their prophetic callings, destinies, and ability to hear the Voice of God.
- Apples of Gold Ministries will also seek to release words of encouragement, exhortation, wisdom and insight to strengthen and build up the Body of Christ.
Undergirding Values:
- The Presence of God, the Ministry of the Holy Spirit, unceasing Prayer and private and corporate worship.
- The purpose of NT Prophecy is primarily for encouragement, exhortation and comfort, however sometimes the Lord may give a caution or a warning.
- The Word of God is foundational, and a plumbline.
- We aim to display the loving heart of the Father, and the Fruits of the Holy Spirit.
- Humility and purity of heart.
- Empowerment of each person into their God-given destinies and callings.
- Cultivating a culture of honour, with appropriate accountability.
- Being in community with other Believers and strengthening community among Mentees and others.
Underpinning Beliefs:
- We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ was fully God and fully man.
- We believe Jesus is the ‘spotless Lamb’, who came to reconcile mankind to God.
- We believe that He died, carrying our sins, griefs and sicknesses in His body on the Cross, as a substitutionary sacrifice, and rose again on the third day.
- We believe that Jesus Christ is the only way to the Father.
- We believe that through repentance from sin, and acknowledgement and confession of Jesus Christ as Lord, we become reconciled to God and called children of God.
- We believe in the Trinity of God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit.
- We believe in the inerrant and Holy Spirit, inspired Word of God and the authority of Scripture.
- We worship Him because He is worthy.
- We believe in two baptisms – that of water baptism by immersion and baptism of the Holy Spirt.
- We believe that the Gifts of the Holy Spirit have not ceased and are active still today.
- We believe every Believer can develop a relationship with God and grow in intimacy with Jesus, through the Holy Spirit.
- We believe that through the power of God, we are being sanctified and transformed into the image of Christ.
- We believe in Eternal Life through Jesus Christ, and that He will one day return for a spotless Bride.
Prophetic Words and Exhortations
- These words are meant to predominantly encourage and exhort the Body of Christ and lead them into greater intimacy and further conversation with Jesus, for ‘the testimony of Jesus is the Spirit of prophecy’ – Revelation 22:9.
- Not every prophetic word or exhortation will apply to everyone, and it is encouraged that people discern this through prayer and with the help of the Holy Spirit, as described in 1 Thessalonians 5:20-21, which exhorts us to “not despise prophecies, but to test everything and hold fast to what is good.”
- All prophecy should also be weighed and tested against the Word of God, as well as the nature and character of God.
- If you would like to receive more information or teaching about weighing and testing prophetic words, please contact Linda via the website.
