2 A. Introduction Review 1. God is our Covering. 2. But we need Accountability Relationships for growth, protection & destiny. 3. Today, we look at Alignment & how we can move forward.

3 B. Greek Kartatiso English word alignment is Greek kartatiso.a very key word used in the Apostolic Prophetic movement currently. 8 definitions of this word

pastors and teachers, 12 for the equipping of the saints

4 Ephesians 4:11-12 (NKJV) 11 And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers, 12 for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ,

5 1. Word kartatiso or kartatismo --- equipping of the saints for the work of ministry.. Best translation of this word Alignment!! Meaning Put something in its proper position or to connect something appropriately. Best illustration human body. Greek word for setting a broken bone back into proper alignment. Like a chiropractor aligning the spines or other joints into proper position.

ministry to help align/equip saints into their place and

6 Context of this word 5-fold ministry given to align/equip the saints for the work of ministry Full restoration of the 5-fold ministry to help align/equip saints into their place and function of ministry so that everyone can fulfil God s destiny for him/her.

for your life Dutch Sheets the more you come into proper alignment with the Apostolic Leadership,

7 Right alignment equips me!! Right alignment with the Apostolic Leadership, with the People as well as with the Purpose of God for your life Dutch Sheets the more you come into proper alignment with the Apostolic Leadership, and People and the Purpose God wants to align you with, your gifting(s) is going to multiply!! If one is not aligned properly, your gift will not operate at its fullest potential.

8 Dutch Sheets God is doing something very unique He is aligning me properly with the gifts and mantles from the past!! He said to me, Marry the mantles of the past to the present and don t be afraid to strike the water.

9 A reference to Elijah and Elisha? Elisha received the mantle of Elijah and a double anointing. He struck the water and it parted. For Dutch, it refers to receiving the mantles of certain people who had invested into his life one who carried a spirit of revelation, another who was mentored by Smith Wiggersworth!! He recalled 8 such people!! Another was his own dad who carried an amazing healing anointing.

2. Kartatiso = arrange things Proper alignment arranges our lives to flow with God s purposes for our lives. God can be rearranging people around us too..it may involve relocation!

10 2. Kartatiso = arrange things Proper alignment arranges our lives to flow with God s purposes for our lives. God can be rearranging people around us too..it may involve relocation!! Some ministries may need some rearranging.. Even apostolic alignments can be rearranged.. Power is going to increase, authority is going to increase because of right alignment!!

11 3. Kartatiso = to adjust Like a chiropractor adjusting us. Alignments will adjust you!! Some of the alignments will save your life!! Receive corrections graciously!! We need to allow adjustments to come into our lives so we can move into another level

12 4. Kartatiso = establish Establish has a concept of pillar, something firm and steadfast, immovable. Picture of football or basketball game. Establish your position so adversary cannot move us out of our position. Being established protects you from the enemy suddenly appearing..giving a sense of protection, strength, stability and advances us towards right relationship and right alignment!!

13 5. Kartatiso to fit or refit Phrase New Wineskins and old robes!! May refer to people whose hearts are like new wineskins but they have this robe of the past around them - with methodology, with ways, with paradigms.and have difficulty changing. This is so that something is not loose or hanging but it lines up properly with your body.

6. kartatiso fully trained In Lk 6:40 Jesus talked about a disciple is not above his teacher, but everyone who is perfectly trained will be like his teacher.

14 6. kartatiso fully trained In Lk 6:40 Jesus talked about a disciple is not above his teacher, but everyone who is perfectly trained will be like his teacher. Concept of fully trained releases wisdom and revelation. Aligning with God, with the People He is aligning me with and His Purpose for me releases revelation flow.

15 Those who do not choose to align will invariably get into deception, coming up with weird stuff!! Wrong alignment can lead into the wrong stream and deviates from God s original intent for us. How do you know you are in right alignment? By the fruit & increase in revelation flow!!

7. Kartatiso to mend or repair Picture Mending nets taking the broken pieces and putting them together hence connecting them. The right alignment often leads into healing!

16 7. Kartatiso to mend or repair Picture Mending nets taking the broken pieces and putting them together hence connecting them. The right alignment often leads into healing!! Healing for individuals, healing for cities, repairing of cultures, as well as nations!! Dutch s testimony when he aligns with Chuck, he prophesies more. When he aligns with the man who moves in signs and wonders & healings, he gets upgraded in this area (even though that man has chosen to come under Dutch s alignment!!)

17 8. Kartatiso made complete You can t walk into the fullness of God s anointing in your life if you are not in right alignment!! 1 Corinthians 1:10 (NKJV) 10 Now I plead with you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment. 哥林多前书 1:10 (Simplified) (CNVS) 基督是分开的吗? 10 弟兄们, 我凭着我们主耶稣基督的名, 劝你们大家要同心, 在你们中间不要分党, 只要在同一的心思同一的意念上团结起来

18 God wants us to fulfil His destiny for us and accomplish all that He has instore Aligning rightly with Apostolic Leaderships & AP people completes us!!!

19 C. WHY ALIGNMENT WITH APOSTLES? First Apostles 哥林多前书 12:28 (Simplified) (CNVS) 28 神在教会里所设立的, 第一是使徒, 第二是先知, 第三是教师, 其次是行神迹的, 再其次是有医病恩赐的, 帮助人的, 治理事的, 说各种方言的

21 以西结书 37:10 (CNVS) 10 于是我遵命说预言, 气息就进入骸骨里面, 骸骨就活过来, 并且站起, 成了一支极大的军队

22 David was living in caves.

(c) Timothy and Titus were aligned with Paul Not Pastoral Epistles but Apostolic Epistles " Timothy is aligned with Paul - A son Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ, by the commandment of God our Savior

24 (c) Timothy and Titus were aligned with Paul Not Pastoral Epistles but Apostolic Epistles " Timothy is aligned with Paul - A son Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ, by the commandment of God our Savior and the Lord Jesus Christ, our hope, to Timothy, my true son in the faith: 1 Timothy 1:1-2 提摩太前书 1:1-2 (CNVS) 问安 1 奉我们的救主神, 和我们的盼望基督耶稣的命令, 作基督耶稣使徒的保罗, 2 写信给因信主而作我真儿子的提摩太愿恩惠怜悯平安从父神和我们的主基督耶稣临到你 Titus is aligned with Paul. - A son Paul, a servant of God, and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to Titus, my true son in our common faith. Titus 1:1, 4 提多书 1:1 (CNVS) 问安 1 神的仆人耶稣基督的使徒保罗 ( 这是为着神选民的信心, 和那合乎敬虔真理的知识 ; 4 写信给提多, 就是那在共同的信仰上作我真儿子的愿恩惠平安从父神和我们的救主基督耶稣临到你

25 D. HOW DOES THIS WORK TODAY?

31 E. APOSTLES ALL HAVE SPHERES

authority, which the Lord gave us for edification and not for your destruction, I

13 We, however, will not boast beyond measure, but within the limits of the sphere

32 Paul boasted of his authority. But within His sphere 8 For even if I should boast somewhat more about our authority, which the Lord gave us for edification and not for your destruction, I shall not be ashamed. 13 We, however, will not boast beyond measure, but within the limits of the sphere which God appointed us a sphere which especially includes you. 2 Corinthians 10:8,13 哥林多后书 10:8,13 (CNVS) 8 主把权柄赐给我们, 是为了要造就你们, 不是要破坏你们, 就算我为这权柄夸口过分了一点, 也不会觉得惭愧 13 我们所夸的, 并没有越过范围, 而是在神量给我们的界限之内 ; 这界限一直延伸到你们那里

36 F. WHAT BENEFITS COME FROM APOSTOLIC ALIGNMENT?

37 You may not be able to fulfill all the destiny that God has for you! But God wants you to fulfil your destiny. He provides Alignment!!

38 G. Natural and Spiritual Benefits of Apostolic Alignment (Ken Malone) There are many spiritual benefits to apostolic alignment. I do believe in alignment and accountability. The Bible teaches alignment, which is the concept of coming alongside, but not over, others.

39 Alignment is a Biblical word. It's used several times in the New Testament. "For the equipping of the saints, for the work of service,..." (Eph. 4:12). This word equipping is "katartizo" in the Greek and it means "alignment or to put a thing in its proper position". The purpose of the five-fold ministry is to align you or position you for the work of the ministry. Alignment increases your authority to function in Christ's kingdom.

40 When we are aligned properly, several truths emerge: 1. Relationship abounds with those with whom we are aligned.

Also if two lie down together, then they will keep warm; but how can one keep warm by himself?

41 2. Authority goes off the charts: "Two are better than one, because there is a good reward for their labor together. For if they fall, then one will help up his companion. But woe to him who is alone when he falls and has no one to help him up. Also if two lie down together, then they will keep warm; but how can one keep warm by himself? And if someone might overpower another by himself, two together can withstand him. A threefold cord is not quickly broken" (Eccl. 4:9-12, MEV). 传道书 4:9-12 (CNVS) 9 二人胜过一人因为他们一起的劳碌有美好的酬报 10 如果一个跌倒另一个可以把他的同伴扶起来但一人孤身跌倒没有别人把他扶起来他就悲惨了 11 还有二人同睡就都暖和一人独睡怎能暖和呢 12 有人能制伏孤身一人如果有二人就挡得住他三股合成的绳子不容易扯断

3. Accountability sharpens our lives and keeps us out of error. Accountability is a Biblical concept and much needed in the church today. Accountability produces sons and daughters.

42 3. Accountability sharpens our lives and keeps us out of error. Accountability is a Biblical concept and much needed in the church today. Accountability produces sons and daughters. Lack of accountability produces Ishmaels in your life. He was a son of the flesh not a son of promise. This son of the flesh came about because Abraham and Sarah refused to be accountable to God. (Gal. 4:22-31). Accountability is voluntary. Acting with accountability, or the lack of, reveals the issues of our heart.

They have brought into my life: prophetic words, direction, instruction, affirmation, godly counsel,

43 4. Godly counsel from those we submit to can keep us moving forward in the Lord. I cherish the counsel I receive from those I submit to. They have brought into my life: prophetic words, direction, instruction, affirmation, godly counsel, friendship and correction. "Where there is no counsel, the people fall; but in the multitude of counselors there is safety (Prov. 11:14, MEV). 箴言 11:14) (CNVS) 14 没有智谋, 国家败落 ; 谋士众多, 就能得胜

44 Is your life bearing fruit? Who are you aligned to?
