However, the first priority of this apostolic company must be the relationships among themselves, as well as their relationship with the other apostolic ministries in the fellowship. This message identifies the recent commissioning of the Los Angeles apostolic company.(47:29)

This becomes the deepest and most revealing picture of Babylon’s defilement of the church by the creation of ecclesiastical positions. The greatest step to come in the restoration is the destruction of these positions and the restoring of commission ministries. Entrenched religious organization is the consistent crucifier of the prophets who are sent in the name of the Lord. Beware of the leaven of the pharisees. (68 min.)

The scope covered Kingdom principles and understanding of the transitions we are in and the principles of confirmation that eliminate an ecclesiastical tribunal such as was common in the Church age.

The devastation we’ve experienced is pointless without our dedication to the Kingdom. (84 1/2 min.)

Again a very foundational but advanced picture of divine order, how we relate to those who are commissioned with authority in the Body. As we are submissive one to another, we have faith in their commission from the Lord and for the Lord to complete and perfect that ministry. In our submission there must be faith in what God has commissioned, trust He will bring it to pass, but most of all we must have a revelation of that commission. (57 min.)

IMPARTATION IS A TWO WAY STREET
November 19, 1978 Sunday A.M. Val.
Here is a deeper look at the divine order at the local church. We impart and commission on the basis of revelation, not democratic election. By revelation we channel His authority to His people. We are responsible for what we receive by impartation and for what we give by impartation. We must strive with all purity and accuracy in the revelation by the laying on of hands to impart and commission God’s servants. (36 min.)
